<p>Church House, also known as the Barrow House, is a historic mansion in Columbia, Tennessee. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Nominated for the National Register on 10/19/78, The Barrow House, which was built in ca. 1873, is one of the best examples the Second Empire style of architecture in Columbia and one of the grandest late-nineteenth-century houses in the city. Its decidedly three-dimensional massing, profuse ornamentation, and the combination of attached and semi-detached dependencies are distinctive. The façade porch, with its effusive decorative elements, and the bay windows in the east and south elevations emphasize the horizontal lines of the building and in part balance the predominant verticality of the tower and mansard roof. Three blocks west of the court square, the Barrow House is located in a formerly prestigious neighbourhood, an area which still contains a number of large late-nineteenth century houses. The wealthy and prominent of Columbia reside here.</p><br>
<p>Although the rear of the building has been modified somewhat to add a kitchen, the façade retains its original appearance. The current owner has gone through extensive renovations. Block-like in its staggered form and irregular plan, and highlighted with massive detailing, this impressive brick house epitomizes the Second Empire style of architecture at its most imposing best. Three stories tall and three bays wide, and resting on a cut and coursed stone foundation, the house is topped with a characteristic Second Empire mansard roof which is covered with decorative slate shingles. Except for the façade (south elevation), which was laid in stretcher bond, the walls were laid in common bond. The centre bay of the façade projects forward and has a tower, another design element typical of the Second Empire style. A heavily ornamented round arch defines the entrance to the enclosed porch at the base of the tower section. The east and west bays are set back one more than the other; the former has a covered one-story porch with carved posts, spandrels, and balustrade while the later has bay windows with round-head, one-over-one windows. This type of window is found throughout, and those in the second story of the façade have heavy hoods and in the centre bay an ornate sill. In the story above the second are round and round-arched windows in dormers with unusually decorative lintels.</p><br>
<p>Chimneys with flared tops above the east and west walls frame the mansard roof; a third chimney rises above the north wall. The cornice has bracket-like elements, and this design appears above the façade bay window and porch. The two-sectioned east elevation has a bay window unit which duplicates the one in the façade; this element is located in the projecting rear (northernmost) bay. A single-story brick kitchen, with a hip roof, is attached to the eastern section of the north wall by a covered porch, and a small, one-story, frame wing projects from the northern end of the west elevation. The kitchen appears to have been built in the nineteenth century, but the frame wing is probably a fairly recent addition. Another section of the covered porch near the northwest corner connects a second, one-story brick. building with a hip roof to the house; quite possibly, this was originally a completely detached outbuilding; for many years it was used as servant&#39;s quarters. Northwest of the house is a parking area for the homeowners and guests.</p><br>

It was nominated for being the only surviving early sorghum syrup mill in Minnesota and a symbol of the region&#39;s agriculture and industry. The building now stands on the grounds of the Okaman Elk Farm, a local visitor attraction.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Seha Sorghum Mill stands on a farm about 1 mi east of Elysian, Minnesota. It was built onto a low hill, allowing gravity to move the liquid through the various processing stages without the need for pumps. The oldest portion of the building is in the northwest corner, and includes the west-facing main door, three small windows on a south-facing eave, and the evaporator ventilator monitor along the roofline. Various lean-tos and additions have expanded the building, most notably an enclosure for the steam engine and boiler that is topped with a tall pipe chimney.</p><br>
<h2>Operation</h2><br>
<p>By the 1930s the mill had largely achieved the configuration it exhibits today. Sorghum stalks were sent down a conveyor belt at the uphill, east-end of the complex and crushed in a three-cylinder roller mill. The juice crushed out of the stalks flowed into three defecation tanks, where it was heated with steam to remove impurities. From there the juice flowed into an evaporator trough, where it was boiled down into syrup. After being routed through a water cooler, the syrup was channeled into three wooden storage tanks until sale. The mill could process 50 USgal of syrup per hour.</p><br>
<p>The mill was powered by an old 16-horsepower steam engine constructed in the 1860s in Mankato, Minnesota. It operated the conveyor belt and roller mill while also providing the steam that heated the defecation tanks and evaporator. The boiler, a late addition, was fuelled with coal or wood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sorghum syrup production began in Minnesota as early as 1860 and reached its peak in the 1880s. The south-central portion of the state, which includes Waseca County, generated three-quarters of Minnesota&#39;s annual output.</p><br>
<p>Cornelius L. Seha installed a permanent sorghum syrup mill on his farm around 1904 or 1905. The complex originally consisted of a single enclosed space for the evaporator, with the steam engine standing outdoors. In the 1930s the Seha family expanded the building, enclosing the engine and installing more processing equipment (most of it purchased used). The existing boiler was added in the 1940s. The mill ceased production around 1955 or &#39;56.</p><br>

<p>The Old Brewer High School is a historic school building at 5 Somerset Street in Brewer, Maine. Built in 1925-26, this Art Deco building was built to meet the ideals of the time for what a high school should be. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Old Brewer High School is located in the city&#39;s most densely built residential area, on a lot bounded by Somerset and Center Streets to the north and east, and separated from Parker Street by a line of residences. It is roughly rectangular in shape, two stories in height, with the ground floor slightly below grade on the front (north-facing) facade. It has a somewhat industrial Art Deco appearance, with outer wing sections whose facades are plain brick except for secondary double-door entrances at the base, and a decorative cast stone panel roughly at mid-height. Between these wings are nine bays, arranged with five central bays set in recessed round-arch panels, projecting bays flanking those, and recessed bays at the outside, which have the main entrances on the ground floor. Windows are paired sash, with those on the second floor topped by fixed transom windows.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of Brewers first high school in 1873, the citys secondary education was provided by neighboring Bangor&#39;s high school. Brewer experience significant growth over the following decades, making evident the need for enlarged and updated facilities. The city commissioned the Butterfield-Guertin Company of Manchester, New Hampshire to design a new high school, which was completed in 1926. This facility was built to meet recently published detailed guidelines for school buildings, these specifications covering everything from site selection to building materials and interior layout. The school was located near to many students, on a large lot that would accommodate expansion and athletic facilities, and was built with fire-resistant materials in a layout that provided large amounts of natural light. It had dedicated separate spaces for use as auditorium and gymnasium, and had space for industrial and domestic vocational education. In 1947 a new combined gymnasium/shop space was built in a separate structure behind the present school. This was replaced in 1979 with a modern brick building, which was connected to the main building by a single-story hyphen.</p><br>
<p>West Townshend is an unincorporated village in Townshend, Vermont, United States. It is on the north side of a bend in the West River, upriver of the Townshend Dam. The entire village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the West Townshend Village Historic District. Its ZIP codes are 05359 and 05353.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>West Townshend is in central western Townshend. It is at the northern edge of a bend in the West River, which flows northward from the west, around the bend and then southward to the Townshend Dam, several miles downriver. The river valley has relatively steep hillsides, with a floodplain that widens at the bend that was deemed suitable for agriculture. Most of the village is strung out along Vermont Route 30, which is aligned to be above the highest waters of Townshend Lake, which was created by the dam. A few town roads extend northward, following branches of Tannery Brook, and an old alignment of VT 30 at the west end of the village also has a few houses.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Townshend was chartered in 1753, but was not settled until the 1760s, after the French and Indian War. Samuel Fletcher, a Massachusetts native, came to the area that is West Townshend, and built the first frame house in Townshend in about 1785, which survives in part in the southeastern part of the village. The village grew around sawmills and gristmills built along Tannery Brook, and reached its height of population and industry in the mid-19th century. The village suffered significant damage in the New England Hurricane of 1938, and was further reduced with the construction of Townshend Dam in the 1950s, which forced a realignment of VT 30.</p><br>
<p>The village was designated a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It includes, on one of the town roads off VT 30, the West Townshend Stone Arch Bridge, built by Townshend native James Otis Follett in the early 20th century.</p><br>

<p>The Union Meeting House, also known as the Whiting Community Church, is a historic church building at 153 United States Route 1 in Whiting, Maine. Built in 1836, it is a distinctive local example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Union Meeting House stands in the center of the rural village of Whiting, on the north side of the three-way junction of US 1 and Maine State Route 189. It is a single story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboard siding, and a foundation of ornamental concrete blocks. The roof is topped by an open belfry with a pyramidal roof that has a spire that is a sculpted metal fish. The main facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sash windows, and a fully pedimented gable above, in which there is an arched panel at the center. The entrance is framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and cornice. The interior of the building has a vestibule area, from which narrow stairs wind to the gallery on one side, and a center double door leads into the sanctuary. The sanctuary has a coved ceiling finished in pressed tin, which extends down the walls to wainscoting. The floors are wide pine, and there are three banks of bench pews.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1836 by a union committee of two different Christian congregations, and has a basic Federal-period form, with a few added Greek Revival details, such as the fully pedimented gable. Churches of this period are rare in eastern Maine, and this one is a particularly well preserved instance. It underwent an interior remodeling in 1886, and again in 1904, when it is likely that the belfry and pressed tin finishes were added. A heating system was added in the 1960s, altering the configuration of the vestibule, but these changes have been reversed. Due to declining attendance of the congregations, the union committee deeded the building to the town in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Westminster Terrace Historic District encompasses a locally architecturally distinctive residential area on Westminster Terrace in Bellows Falls  and Westminster, Vermont. First developed between about 1880 and 1910, the neighborhood has high-quality late 19th-century homes, interspersed with later mid-20th century development. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Westminster Terrace is geographically sited on a terrace overlooking the mouth of the Saxtons River, where it empties into the Connecticut River just below Bellows Falls, Vermont. The terrace is separated from the surrounding roads and properties (principally Westmminster Road, a major north-south artery) by steep terrain. The southernmost properties located on the terrace are across the town line in Westminster. The northern end of the district abuts the Bellows Falls Neighborhood Historic District. The terrace is occupied by 24 primary residential structures and a number of outbuildings. Most of these are large 2-1/2 story wood frame buildings in architectural styles popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while there are also a number of mid-20th-century single-story ranch houses, which exemplify the shift in character of the area over time.</p><br>
<p>The terraces initial use, by settlers in the early 18th century, was as farmland. In 1827 a pair of handsome Greek Revival mansions were built near its northern end, where the former Rockingham Memorial Hospital stands today. Beginning in 1880, the terraces principal owner, a farmer named Edward Bancroft, began selling off the land for development. Early deed restrictions mandated minimum house values, sizes, and had ownership and occupancy restrictions excluding African Americans and the Irish. Development of the area as an upper-class enclave also prompted calls for a redrawing of municipal boundaries, in order to unite the area. In the first wave of building, a number of handsome Queen Anne style houses were erected, followed in the early 20th century by similarly sized buildings with Colonial Revival features. In the 1950s a number of the larger parcels were subdivided to permit the construction of the more modest ranch houses that stand in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Austin Pangburn House is a historic house at Main and Austin Streets in Pangburn, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with irregular massing typical of the Queen Anne period. It has a hip roof, with projecting gables that are finished in bands of decoratively cut wooden shingles, with novelty siding on the rest of the house. A porch wraps around two sides, supported by Doric columns. Built c. 1908, it is a well-preserved example of period construction in White County.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Patman House was a historic house at Mountain and Jackson Streets in Pangburn, Arkansas. It was a -story T-shaped wood-frame structure, with a dormered gable roof, novelty siding, and a foundation of brick piers. It had modest vernacular Colonial Revival styling. It was built in the 1890s as a frame version of a dogtrot, but was significantly altered in the early 1920s, after Pangburn achieved prosperity as a railroad town.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It has been listed as demolished in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.</p><br>
<p>The Paschall House is a historic house at North Oak and East Center Streets in Searcy, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood frame I-house, with an integral T ell to the rear, finished in brick veneer and capped by a gabled roof. A full-height porch extends across the front, its flat roof supported by round wooden columns. A wrought iron balcony projects over the center entrance beneath the porch. The house was built about 1890, and is a rare surviving example of the I-house form in White County from that period.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Shimanek Bridge is a covered bridge near Scio in Linn County in the USA state of Oregon. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Thomas Creek – Shimanek Covered Bridge in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The bridge, 130 ft long, was completed in 1966. Replacing a similar structure severely damaged by the Columbus Day Storm of 1962, it is the fifth bridge at this location. The fourth bridge had been built in 1927, and the first is thought to have dated to 1861.</p><br>
<p>Carrying Richardson Gap Road, the bridge crosses Thomas Creek about 2 mi east of Scio. It is the longest covered bridge in Linn County and the newest. A county crew renovated the structure in 2002, repairing damage caused by a flood in 1996.</p><br>
<p>In November 2015, the bridge was closed for repairs after an inspection revealed "serious decay". Temporary repairs were expected to take weeks. More substantial repairs may not occur for up to two years, depending on funding.</p><br>
<p>The bridge in under repair in Spring of 2022.</p><br>
