<p>The Nathan Allen House is a historic house on Vermont Route 30 in Pawlet, Vermont. Built about 1834, it is an excellent local example of a late Federal period farmhouse built in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Nathan Allen House stands on the west side of Vermont Route 30, a few miles north of Pawlet&#39;s central village, in the fertile plains on the east side of the Mettawee River. It is a -story brick structure, with single-story wood frame ells attached to the right and rear. It rests on a rubblestone foundation, and has trim elements of dressed marble and wood. The main block is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows. The left side wall is a reconstruction, the original having collapsed due to deteriorating condition in 1983. The house has four side chimneys, and follows a center-hall plan inside. The interior has seen a number of alterations and stylistic changes, but retains some of its original features, including a carved arch in the center hall, and a marble fireplace surround in one of the parlors.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1834 for Nathan Allen, a farmer who owned and worked the surrounding land (now in separate ownership). It is one of two nearly identical houses built in this area; the other was built for Nathan&#39;s brother Elisha. They are the only significant example of late Federal period architecture in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Chestnut Street Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential part of Camden, Maine, United States, which represents a cross-section of the town&#39;s architectural history, and of its transition from a shipping center to a summer resort community. The district extends south from the town common, along Chestnut Street, and then east to Dillingham Point. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Camden is centered on the mouth of the Megunticook River on the west side of Penobscot Bay in the Mid Coast region of coastal Maine. It was first settled in the 1760s, but did not experience significant early development until the 1780s, after the American Revolutionary War. Its early industry was shipbuilding, which was augmented in the mid-19th century by lime quarrying. Both industries declined in the late 19th century, and were eventually replaced by the summer tourist trade.</p><br>
<p>Chestnut Street extends roughly southeast from the town common, which is located just south of the river, and roughly parallels the western bank of the river, above Bay View Road, which provides direct access to the waterfront. Originally farmland in the early days of the town, the area is now home to some of Camdens oldest surviving buildings, especially along Wood and Pleasant Streets, which were laid out as a subdivision just south of the common. As the town grew, residential development took place along Chestnut Street, resulting in a number of fine mid-19th century Greek Revival and Italianate houses. Camdens earliest summer houses were built at Dillingham Point, marking the southern point of the rivers mouth, in the 1880s, and the area now sports several fine Shingle style houses. The point is also where the fine brick 1830s Cape style Ogier house stands; it was built by one of the areas early settlers, and was later transformed into a summer house.</p><br>
<p>The Seed Warehouse No. 5 is a historic seed storage facility, now located on the grounds of the Plantation Agriculture Museum, a state park in Scott, Arkansas. It is a long rectangular structure, with walls that slope inward as they rise to a gable roof. The roof is topped by a series of gabled cupolas, each with windows and louvered openings. The main entrance is at one end, in a projecting gabled section. All of the exterior walls are corrugated metal. Built in 1948 by a prominent local cotton farmer, it is a well-preserved example of a modern mid-20th century cotton seed storage facility. It was acquired by the state in 1985 for the museum, underwent restoration in 2008, and now houses museum exhibits.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Waterside Street Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying Waterside Street across an inlet of Lake Number 1 in North Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a rustic closed-spandrel masonry structure, with an exterior of rough uncoursed fieldstone that rises to parapet above the side of the roadbed. It is one of four masonry bridges built between 1929 and 1939 by developer Justin Matthews as part of the Lakewood subdivision.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Sam and Shirley Strauss House is a historic house at 4 Sunset Drive in Cammack Village, Arkansas. It is a single story structure built out of a combination of brick and wood, with a broad shallow-pitch sloping roof. The roof extends on the east side to cover an open carport. At one point in the roof there is a gap, originally made for a tree standing on the property at the time of the house&#39;s construction. The exterior is clad in vertical redwood siding, with a variety of window configurations. The house, designed by Little Rock architect Noland Blass Jr., and built in 1963–64, is an excellent regional example of Mid-Century Modern architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>K. Whittelsey was a historic tugboat, last located at Kingston, Ulster County, New York. She was built in 1930, and was a 185 gross ton diesel tugboat measuring 90 feet, 6 inches, long. She was built by Spedden Shipbuilders of Baltimore, Maryland and towed oil barges.</p><br>
<p>Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. She was scrapped in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Cathance Water Tower is a historic water tower at Cathance Road and Beechwood Drive in Topsham, Maine. Probably built in the late 19th century, it is an extremely rare surviving example of a residential wooden water tower built for a single residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. It is now owned by the town.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cathance Water Tower is located in a rural residential area of eastern Topsham, just east of the junction of Cathance Road and Beechwood Drive. It is a square wooden structure, about 30 ft tall, with a base section that has slightly sloping walls finished in clapboards, and a wider top section finished in wooden shingles. It is topped by a hipped corrugated metal roof. There are two doors in the base and one window. One of the doors provides access to the inside stairwell, while the other provides access to a chamber where equipment for pumping water was housed. The upper section, which hangs over the lower one by 2 -, houses a wooden tank with a capacity of about 5,000 USgal.</p><br>
<p>The towers construction date is uncertain, but has been reported as standing at this site since roughly the turn of the 20th century. It was probably built to supply water to the Rogers family farmstead, a 1770s farm property. The rest of the farm complex was destroyed by fire in 1978, and most of the farm was developed residentially afterward. The towers tank was originally supplied by water from a nearby stream via a hydraulic ram, which was later replaced by an electrical pump. The town, which owns the tower and surrounding land, had hoped to recreate the original working mechanism.</p><br>
<p>The Standish Corner Historic District encompasses a collection of five early farmhouses in the village of Standish Corner in southeastern Standish, Maine. All five houses were built in the late 18th or early 19th century, and the assemblage are all that survive of the town&#39;s original early center. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Standish was settled in the 1760s and incorporated in 1785, named in honor of Myles Standish. Its first meeting house was built in the Standish Corner area, then a crossroads on the main route between Portland and Fryeburg, and is thus where the town&#39;s early civic activities were focused. It was also a center of small-scale industrial activity, with several tanneries, lumber mills, and hotels, but this eventually declined in the second half of the 19th century, after the village was bypassed by the Portland and Ogdensburg Railway.</p><br>
<p>The five surviving houses of the village&#39;s early settlement period line both sides of East Ossipee Trail (SR 25/113), just south of its junction with SR 35. The oldest of the five houses is the 1789 Marrett House, named for the family of Rev. Daniel Marrett, which occupied the house into the early 20th century, when it was transformed into a historic house museum, now operated by Historic New England. Across the street from the Marrett House are three early 19th century houses, with Federal and Greek Revival styling. North of the Marrett House, right at the road junction stands a fifth house, dating to 1793.</p><br>
<p>Benson Village is the village center of the rural town of Benson, Vermont. The central portion of the village, stretching along Stage Road from Lake Road to Hulett Hill Road, is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a well-preserved 19th-century village center.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Benson, located in northwestern Rutland County on the eastern shore of southern Lake Champlain, was chartered in 1780 and settled in 1782. Its principal thoroughfare for many years was the Stage Road, completed in 1790, which was the major north-south route on the east side of the lake. The town was in the 19th century mainly an agricultural area, although there was some industry on the Hubbardton River east of the village, whose goods were delivered to a port on the lake west of the village. The height of its 19th-century economic prosperity was in the 1840s, and is reflected in the number of Greek Revival buildings in the village. Stage Road was eventually eclipsed in importance by Vermont Route 22A to the east. The economic decline effectively reduced the demand for new building in the village.</p><br>
<p>The focal center of the village is the junction of Stage and Lake Roads, where the Benson Village Store, post office, and Wheel Inn are located. The village stretches northward from this junction roughly to Hulett Hill Road. Many of its buildings were built either in the 1840s, or in the period of the 1870s-1880s, and are typically vernacular versions of Greek Revival and Italianate architecture. A notable exception is the Benson Village school, a Colonial Revival elementary school built in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Morgan Smith House is a historic house at 5110 Stagecoach Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a complex roof line and weatherboard siding. It is a sophisticated example of Craftsman styling, with a porch and porte-cochere supported by stone columns , and extended eaves with exposed rafter tails. The house was built in 1918 for a prominent local doctor, housing both his home and office.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Snyder House is a historic house at 4004 South Lookout Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a -story wood frame with a distinctive blend of American Craftsman and Colonial Revival elements, built in 1925 to a design by the Little Rock firm of Sanders and Ginocchio. Its gable roof is bracketed, and it features an entry portico supported by large Tuscan columns. The gable of the portico has false half-timbering.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The South Main Street Apartments Historic District encompasses a pair of identical Colonial Revival apartment houses at 2209 and 2213 Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Both are two-story four-unit buildings, finished in a brick veneer and topped by a dormered hip roof. They were built in 1941, and are among the first buildings in the city to be built with funding assistance from the Federal Housing Administration. They were designed by the Little Rock firm of Bruggeman, Swaim & Allen.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>Stringtown House is located east of Bloomfield in rural Davis County, United States. Stringtown was the first town established in the county. It was originally named Harpersvilie, then it was changed to Dover, before it became Stringtown. At one time the town had a mill, store, and hotel and other houses, but none of them are extant. Byron Wilson built this house in 1832. It is believed to be the oldest house still standing in the county, and the only one in its original condition. It is a 1½-story frame Saltbox structure was used as a stagecoach stop. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>"Lockkeepers" House is a historic building located south of Eldon along the Des Moines River in Davis County, Iowa, United States. More specifically it is located in Section 1 of Salt Creek Township. Local legend associates this stone house with the Des Moines River Improvement Project, which was conceived to build a lock and dam system along the Des Moines River to make it navigable from the Mississippi River to the Raccoon River at Des Moines. Historically, the resource was situated at this location for access and control over the river locks proposed to be built at Eldon. With the failure of the Des Moines River Navigation Company the project failed in the early 1841s. Built in 1845 the Lockkeeper&#39;s House consists of a 1 story, end gabled, solid masonry building. The building served only as a residence having never been used for the locks, which were never built. It has a two-over-two room plan and a masonry central dividing wall with a built in chimney. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The William Findley House, also known as the Davis County Historical Society Museum, is a historic residence located in Bloomfield, Iowa, United States. Dr. William M. Findley was the first owner of this house. A native of Dayton, Ohio, he settled in Bloomfield in 1843, where he practiced medicine. He was a surgeon for the 4th Iowa Cavalry during the Civil War. The T-shaped, vernacular structure is one of a very few brick houses in town, as the vast majority are frame construction. While it does not conform to any specific style, the wide, bracketed cornice does suggest the Italianate style. The frame summer kitchen that sat behind the house was torn down when the frame addition was built onto the back of the house in 1917. The addition contained the kitchen of a boarding house that occupied the building at that time. The William Findley House is now part of a museum complex that includes a Mormon log cabin, a livery barn, the Wheeler Ridge School, and the Savannah Christian Church. The other buildings were moved here. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Asa Wilson House is a historic residence located in Bloomfield, Iowa, United States. Asa Wilson arrived in Bloomfield in 1863 and bought this property the following year. He built this house in 1884, the year he died. The property remained in his family until the turn of the 20th century. The two-story frame house is a vernacular Italianate-style building. A two-story, full size porch covers the main facade, and the whole structure is capped with a hip roof. The house has been transformed into an office building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Wishard House, also known as the Fenton House, is a historic residence located in Bloomfield, Iowa, United States. Wishard was a prominent Bloomfield businessman, who was known as the father of the gasoline tax in the United States to raise revenue for road construction. He also built more than 100 buildings in Bloomfield and Dighton, Kansas. Wishard had this two-story brick house built in the Queen Anne style in 1910. The property also included a barn, a chicken house and another small out-building. The barn was replaced with a garage that complements the house, and the other two structures have subsequently been removed. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Bloomfield Square is a historic district in Bloomfield, Iowa, United States. It consists of the Davis County Courthouse, located on a central park, surrounded by 55 commercial buildings. The buildings were all built between the 1850s and the 1890s. Most of the buildings are of brick construction with no early frame buildings on the square. No one architectural style predominates. The block that faces Franklin Street burned to the ground in 1893, and was rebuilt that same year. The use of pressed tin and the many engaged columns on the second floor level are noteworthy on this block. The Second Empire courthouse  is the focal point for the district. The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Bloomfield Square is significant for its enduring architectural style, which preserves much of its Victorian-era charm. The district, though varied in building quality, forms a unified collection of late 19th-century commercial architecture that showcases a small Midwestern town’s shift from simpler wood structures to more ornate brick buildings. This design serves as a fitting backdrop for the central courthouse, surrounded by green spaces and historic commercial buildings that embody the town planning of 19th-century America. Remarkably, the district retains its late-Victorian character, distinguishing it from other preserved areas.</p><br>
<p>Several buildings contribute to Bloomfield Square’s historical importance. The Exchange Bank Building, originally used by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in the 1850s, later became home to the first Rebekah lodge, a women’s auxiliary, in 1868. The Exchange Bank itself moved in during 1871, following the completion of the building’s west side. Another noteworthy site, 101 E. Jefferson, began as J.R. Shaeffer’s Jewelry Store; Shaeffer’s son later established the Shaeffer Pen Company. Built in 1881, the Trimble House served as a hotel for many years, operated by local figure J.H. Trimble. Bloomfield’s Opera House, located on the upper floor of #52, hosted numerous performances. Meanwhile, #69-71 originally functioned as a store and residence, later evolving into the American Hotel in the 1850s, and has since operated under names such as the New Commercial, Wishard, and Gandy, finally becoming known as the Grant Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Other placesCommercial Hotel </p><br>
<p>The former Commercial Hotel is a historic hotel building in Wadena, Minnesota, United States, built circa 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for having local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for being an excellent example of the lodging facilities built in anticipation of Wadena&#39;s late-19th-century economic growth.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Commercial Hotel is a three-story brick building on Wadena&#39;s main commercial street. Part of the coursed stone foundation is visible, punctuated by two small basement windows. Pilasters flank the centrally placed entrance and rise the full height of the façade. The slightly recessed entrance has five-panel sidelights and a fanlight. The bays on either side of the door each contain a large window with decorated panels below and a transom topped with a stone lintel above. The second story has four sash windows with stone windowsills and decorative brick arches highlighted by a string course. The windows of the third floor have stone sills like the second floor but flat brick lintels. Above this are panels and pilasters of corbelled brick. At the center of the cornice is a gable projection sporting a stone that is carved with the word "HOTEL".</p><br>
<p>The building originally occupied only half of its long, narrow lot. However a three-story addition around 1925 extended the building to the rear. The addition closely matches the original wing in scale and fenestration.</p><br>
<p>The layout of the ground floor originally consisted of a parlor and office facing the street, beyond which was a large dining room, and a kitchen at the rear.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By 1881 Wadena had become a substantial town of about a thousand residents, but possessed only one hotel. Around 1885, though, the Commercial Hotel opened, despite being three and a half blocks from the Wadena Depot while its competitor was directly across the railroad tracks. The new hotel, however, was built of brick rather than the more common—and flammable—wood, lending itself an advantageous reputation as a more modern facility. In fact when Wadena&#39;s worst fire struck in 1888, 18 buildings were destroyed but the Commercial Hotel survived.</p><br>
<p>In 1901 an English immigrant named Joseph Askew purchased the hotel. He also served in local politics but died in an accident ten years later. Askews widow and two daughters continued operating the hotel, doubling it in size around 1925 with the rear addition. This greatly increased the Commercial Hotels popularity, and its distance from the train station was mitigated by its central location in Wadenas main business district and proximity to other transportation corridors. Many of the hotels guests were traveling salesmen.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the building&#39;s nomination to the National Register in 1987 it had been vacant "for many years" but was being acquired by the city of Wadena for adaptive reuse as senior housing. This long period of vacancy, however, was credited with leaving the Commercial Hotel as one of the least altered late-19th/early-20th-century buildings in downtown Wadena.</p><br>
<p>The Clary Mill is a historic mill building and associated water-control structures at 104 Mills Road in Whitefield, Maine. The property includes a late 19th-century wooden mill, a mill pond, dam and penstock. It is the last surviving sawmill in the town, which was once heavily dependent on the lumber industry. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clary Mill is set a short way north of the village of North Whitefield, on the banks of an unnamed stream that feeds into the Sheepscot River a short way to its west. The mill property is divided by Mills Road (Maine State Route 218), with the mill building on the west side of the road, and the mill pond, forming the outlet of the larger Clary Lake on the east side. The Clary Mill is one of several mills that once stood in this area; it is a two-story wood frame structure with a gable roof, set on the south side of the stream. A stone dam, partly patched with concrete, extends across the stream adjacent to the mill. A steel penstock, now disused, historically funneled water into the mill&#39;s wheelhouse, which was rebuilt in the mid-1980s. Below the mill building is a now-breached dam, and the foundational remnants of other mills. On the east side of Mills Road stands a two-story wooden bunkhouse, which is historically associated with the mill complex but is not part of the National Register listing.</p><br>
<p>The town of Whitefield was settled in the 1770s, and this area was from an early date used industrially. By the 1780s there were a dozen mills in the community, and a century later there were nineteen. This mill was established in 1897 by Henry W. Clary of Jefferson, and operated by him until after World War I. It continued as a sawmill under other owners until the mid-1980s, when the mill building was converted into an antique shop. Some of its original equipment remains, but some equipment was also brought into the building from the last phase of use. The building now stands vacant.</p><br>
<p>The South Street Historic District encompasses an early residential area of Gorham, Maine. Located just south of Gorham&#39;s small commercial center, South Street is lined with an architecturally cohesive collection of about 20 late-18th and early-19th century houses, primarily interrupted only by the presence of the modest Colonial Revival Baxter Memorial Library. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Gorham was first settled by white settlers in 1736, but it was not until after the French and Indian Wars ended in the 1760s that significant growth took place, resulting in its incorporation in 1764. The town center was laid out at the junction of Main and South Streets (Maine State Routes 25 and 114) in the 1750s, with a small cemetery and schoolhouse just to its south. The area south of the cemetery, along South Street, was originally farmland, but gradually developed as a residential area in the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The district lines both sides of South Street, roughly between Preble Street and Morrill Avenue. The oldest surviving house, that of Reuben Nason at 65 South Street, was built about 1794, and is one of the towns least-altered examples of 18th-century architecture. Nason, who purchased the house in 1810, was the first headmaster at Gorham Academy. Also prominent in the district is the Baxter House, now a museum, which is notable as the home of two of Maines governors, James Phinney Baxter and Percival Baxter. It stands next to the 1907-08 Colonial Revival Baxter Memorial Library, the only non-residential building in the district, which was a gift to the town of James Phinney Baxter.</p><br>
<p>Beaver Creek Bridge is located northwest of Ogden, Iowa, United States. It spans Beaver Creek for 52 ft. The Marsh arch bridge was designed by Des Moines engineer James B. Marsh, and built by the N.E. Marsh & Son Construction Company of Des Moines in 1919. After it was completed it carried traffic on the Lincoln Highway. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Braintree School, also known as the District 8 School, is a historic school building at 9 Warren Switch Road in Pawlet, Vermont, United States. It is a single-room district schoolhouse built in 1852, and used as a school until 1934. It is now a museum property owned by the Pawlet Historical Society, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Braintree School stands in central western Pawlet, at the southwest corner of Warren Switch Road and Vermont Route 153. The small property includes a single-story brick schoolhouse and a small wood-frame structure that served historically as an outhouse and woodshed. The school is built of red brick, laid in American bond, with a gabled roof. It measures 22 x, with the long axis oriented parallel to Warren Switch Road. The main entrance is in the east façade, facing Route 153, centered between two sash windows, with a small oval opening above that houses a wooden panel identifying the building. A secondary entrance is located on the south side, sheltered by a small gabled porch. A bank of windows, added in the 1930s to meet state requirements, occupy the west facade. The outhouse/woodshed, originally located directly adjacent to the school, was moved about 20 ft behind it, in order to provide for improved drainage around the school. The interior of the school has a small foyer, and a single classroom.</p><br>
<p>Pawlet&#39;s early district schoolhouses were all wood-frame structures, most of which were replaced in the 1840s–1860s with brick buildings. This school was built in 1852, and was one of six surviving district school buildings in the town at the time of its listing on the National Register in 2010. It was used as a school until 1934, a period in which the town consolidated all of its district schools into more modern facilities. It is architecturally unusual, exhibiting Federal period style even though that style had already been out of fashion for some time when it was built. In the 1970s the building was acquired by the local historical society, which restored it, exposing some of its original features that had been covered over by later alterations. Students from town schools are brought here to experience examples of 19th-century educational practices.</p><br>
<p>Big Creek Bridge 2 is located northeast of Madrid, Iowa, United States. It spans Big Creek for 53 ft. The Marsh arch bridge was designed by Des Moines engineer James B. Marsh in February 1917. The contract to build the structure was awarded in April of the same year to the N.E. Marsh & Son Construction Company of Des Moines for $3,170. It was completed later in 1917. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Liberty School Cafeteria is a historic school building in rural Faulkner County, Arkansas. It is located on the west side of Arkansas Highway 36, about 0.25 mi north of its junction with United States Route 64, about midway between Conway and Vilonia. It is a modest single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof that has exposed rafter ends in the American craftsman style. It was built in 1935 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration, and originally housed classrooms for science, agriculture and math, as part of a consolidated regional primary school. In the 1940s it was converted into a cafeteria. The school district was further consolidated with Vilonia in the 1950s and 1960s, when this building&#39;s school function ceased. The grounds are now used for a flea market.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>

Its ground floor windows are set in arched openings giving it an arcaded appearance. The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<p>Martin Hall closed for renovations in August 2021, as part of Hendrix College&#39;s Residence Hall Renewal Project. Updates to the hall will include, "new HVAC systems to address air quality, humidity, and moisture concerns; new plumbing to streamline maintenance; new layouts for bathrooms to increase privacy; reconfigured laundry areas and study/lounge spaces to promote interaction among residents; ADA-compliant entries and living arrangements; LED lighting upgrades; stronger wireless connectivity; and new doors and flooring throughout both buildings."</p><br>
<p>The dorm reopened in August of 2022 for students to live it. It has space for 123 men with a mix of single, double and triple occupancy rooms.</p><br>
<p>The Boone Bridge was located southwest of Boone, Iowa, United States. It spanned the Des Moines River for 647 ft. The area in which this bridge was built was a pivotal transportation corridor in the early 20th century. The Chicago and North Western Railroad built the Boone Viaduct upstream from this location in 1901. It was the worlds longest two-track viaduct. The county built a pin-connected truss bridge to carry a county road over the river just downstream from this location in 1909. In 1913 it was chosen as part of the route of the Lincoln Highway, the nations first transcontinental highway. Because of its narrow width of only 16 ft and an increase in traffic, a new bridge was required. The Iowa State Highway Commission designed this bridge in 1927. It was composed of two riveted Pratt and two Parker through trusses. The contract to build the structure was awarded in November 1927 to the A. Olson Construction Company of Waterloo, Iowa for $77,900. It was completed later in 1928. The bridge carried USA Route 30 traffic until it was rerouted to the south. It carried a county road until it was replaced in the early 21st century, and dismantled. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The S.D. Merritt House is a historic house at 45 Arkansas Highway 25 North in Greenbrier, Arkansas. It is a single story masonry structure, its exterior clad in a distinctive combination of fieldstone laid in herringbone patterns, and cream-colored brick trim. It was designed by Silas Owens, Sr., a prominent regional African-American mason, and built c. 1950 by Owens and his son, Silas Jr. It is a basically L-shaped structure, with a covered carport at the left end, and a forward-projecting section on the right.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Oak Grove Cemetery is the oldest cemetery of the city of Conway, Arkansas. It was established in 1880, five years after the town was incorporated and nine after its first settlement. The cemetery is in active use, with more than 3,000 burials. Among the interred are many of the city&#39;s earliest and most prominent citizens.</p><br>
<p>The historic portion of the cemetery, roughly 3.5 acre at its center, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>First National Bank, now known as US Bank, is located in Boone, Iowa, United States. The bank was established in 1884, and their building at this location was destroyed in a fire in 1914. The eight-story bank and office building that replaced it is the work of the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. T.C. Wardell from Chicago was hired as superintendent of construction because he was considered a specialist in constructing fire-proof buildings. Construction began in 1915, and the building was completed in 1916 for $115,000.</p><br>
<p>The architecture combines the styling of the Neoclassical style with the form and construction technology of the Chicago Commercial School. The bank was acquired by Citizen&#39;s National Bank in 1935, and the building changed names at that time. In the late 1970s a two-story addition was built onto the east side of the original building. A beltcourse of brown aggregate material replaced the original beltcourse at the top of the base to visually tie the two structures together. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The bank has subsequently been acquired by US Bank, and the building now uses their name.</p><br>
<p>The Stoll Bottling Works is a historic building located in Boone, Iowa, United States. The 135 by brick building was built between 1913 and 1914. It was one of the buildings in town that housed a plant for producing and bottling carbonated soft drinks, a significant industry in Boone. Louis Stoll had begun working at the Seiling Soda Company when he was a teenager. He bought the company in 1912 when he was 21. Four years later his former supervisor at Seiling, Frank Linderblood, bought the company and Stoll moved to Des Moines where he owned Capitol City Bottling Works. By the mid-20th century the national brands had plants in Boone. This building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Common is the town common of Union, Maine. Laid out about 1790 and acquired by the town in 1809, it is the oldest public town common in the state of Maine. It is the site of the town&#39;s various war and veterans memorials, and also has a bandstand. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Common is located in the center of the main village of Union, a rural inland community of coastal Knox County. It is a roughly lozenge-shaped 3 acre parcel, bounded on the north by Burkett Road and the south by Common Road. It is roughly bisected by Town House Road (Maine State Route 235), with the eastern section further subdivided by Abbott Road and another unnamed spur road. The westernmost portion is an open grassy area, shaded by three rows of maple trees, which are replacements of elm trees planted in the 19th century. Facing Town House Road is the 18 ft granite American Civil War memorial, placed in 1888 by the local chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic. At the southeast corner of that section is a small cement watering trough, and a wooden 1940s map of the area.</p><br>
<p>The westernmost eastern section is mostly open, with maple trees around the fringe, and an octagonal Queen Anne style bandstand in the southern half, built in 1895. The central eastern section houses the towns World War II memorial, and a memorial to the towns peacetime veterans. The easternmost section is a small triangular stub of land, devoid of significant ornament.</p><br>
<p>The town of Union was settled in the 1770s and incorporated in 1786. The first mention that the town has a common is in town documents of 1790, although it is unclear if the present common is the property mentioned. The land that makes up the present common had apparently been laid out by 1801, and was purchased from David Gillmor in 1809 for $100, then a significant sum of money. The common is distinctive among Maine&#39;s town commons as the oldest known to have been acquired as a common, and for retaining its original configuration (including the extant road cuts through it) from a very early date.</p><br>
<p>The Alonzo J. and Flora Barkley House is a historic building located in Boone, Iowa, United States. Alonzo Barkley was a local banker who was involved in real estate and local politics. His first wife, Henrietta Trickey, died in 1889. He married Flora Spencer two years later. He had this house built in 1893. It is a two-story frame Queen Anne with Shingle style influences. The Shingle style, along with the Eastlake and Stick styles, were rare in central Iowa. Typical of the Queen Anne style, the house features an asymmetrical plan with steeply pitched irregular roof forms. The upper two-thirds of the house is covered in shingles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The John H. Herman House  is a historic house located at 711 South Story Street in Boone, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Herman was a local banker who served as an officer at the First National Bank. He had the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, who had just designed the bank&#39;s new building, design this house. It is one of nine known structures in Boone attributed to the firm. Local contractor Gust J. Carlson built the house in 1919. The two-story, brick Colonial Revival is typical of how Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson designed this style of house. It features a side gable, side porches offset from the main block, and high quality brick. This is only one of three of their houses of this quality located outside of the immediate Des Moines area. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The J.H. Riekenberg House is a historic residence located in Boone, Iowa, United States. Born in Schleswig, Germany, Riekenberg emigrated to the United States in 1867, and became a successful businessman and civic leader in Boone. He had Charles E. Edwins, a local architect, design this house, and local contractor J.J. Thoren built it in 1898. The 2½-story, frame Queen Anne house features an asymmetrical plan, steeply pitched roof, a wrap-around front porch, a variety of wall surface texture, an octagonal corner tower, and Palladian elements in the gable ends. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Perrigo-Holmes House is a historic residence located in Boone, Iowa, United States. Joel C. Perrigo was a Vermont native who worked for several different railroads, including the Chicago and North Western, which probably brought him to Boone. He also had extensive land holdings in the county. Adoniram J. Holmes was a local attorney who was elected the mayor of Boone before being elected to the United States House of Representatives as a Republican. He represented Iowa&#39;s 10th congressional district before serving as the Sergeant at Arms of the United States House of Representatives. He and his wife Emma bought the house right after he was elected to congress. Perrigo had the two-story, frame high-style Italianate house built around 1871. The L-shaped structure features paired brackets under the eaves, and the front porch is located in the inside angle. A barn, believed to be a contemporary of the house, is also part of historic listing. It is one of a few town barns left in Boone. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Carl and Ulrika Dalander Cassel House is a historic residence located in Madrid, Iowa, United States. This Greek Revival structure is believed to be the oldest frame house in town. Built in 1862, it is associated with Swedish settlement in Iowa. Carl Cassel came with his father and the first group of immigrants to the Iowa Territory in 1845. They settled in a place they called Swede Point. Anna Dalander led another group of immigrants the following year and intended to settle in the same place, but they took the wrong river and ended up in Boone County. They named their settlement Swede Point, which was later renamed Madrid. Cassel married Dalander&#39;s daughter Ulrika in 1848. He and his brothers-in-law operated a grist mill. He also farmed and was involved in local politics. This house was located on the edge of his farm and the town. Cassel probably lived here until his death in 1902. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Brandon State School, also known historically as the Brandon Training School and the Vermont State School for Feeble Minded Children, was a psychiatric facility for the care and treatment of children in Brandon, Vermont. Founded in 1915, it was Vermont&#39;s first state-funded residential facility for the care of the mentally handicapped. It was closed in 1993, a consequence of changing policies in the treatment and care of such individuals. The surviving buildings of the property, now converted to other uses, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was established as the Vermont State School for Feeble Minded Children by an act of the state legislature in 1912, and was formally opened in 1915 on this campus, which then consisted of 300 acre purchased from the estate of Henry Watson, located west of USA Route 7 about one mile northwest of Brandon village. In 1917 the state authorized the construction of a dormitory, along with an administration building and a service building, and developed plans for additional facilities. By the late 1930s, the school, renamed the Brandon State School in 1929, had four dormitories, classroom buildings, and other support facilities. The school was again renamed, to the Brandon Training School, in 1956.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1960s and 1970s, federal requirements forced the school to increase employee/student ratios, and resulted in a gradual shift in treatment of mentally handicapped youth to smaller group home settings scattered across the state. Raymond Mulcahy, who was the Superintendent during this time period, was a strong advocate for de-institutionalization and was a positive force for change for the patients at Brandon Training School. Under his leadership, the Training School began to place more and more residents into community housing. The school was permanently closed in 1993. The school&#39;s campus, many of its buildings handsome Colonial Revival structures designed by Burlington architect Frank Lyman Austin, have since been repurposed into apartments and commercial facilities.</p><br>
<p>The Carnegie Library in Lexington, Kentucky was built in 1905 and served as Lexington&#39;s main library until 1989. It is now home of the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning.</p><br>
<p>The building is a 1906-built Classical Revival-style Carnegie library, at the south end of Gratz Park, designed by architect Herman L. Rowe. It has a tetrastyle portico (observed in photo). It was built in 1906 of Bedford limestone at cost of $75,000, of which $60,000 was funded by the Carnegie Foundation.</p><br>
<p>The library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Gratz Park Historic District, listed in 1973.</p><br>
<p>It was one of 2,500 public libraries built by Andrew Carnegie&#39;s funding between 1883 and 1929. The building reopened as the Carnegie Center in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning</h2><br>

It provides tutoring and classes, sponsors writers&#39; meetups and conferences, and runs the Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame program.</p><br>
<p>Its stated mission is "to empower people to explore and express their voices through imaginative learning and the literary arts."</p><br>
<p>In 1993, the Carnegie Center&#39;s tutoring program was started by Phyllis MacAdam.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning initiated the Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame, and inducted their inaugural class.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the Carnegie Center won the Kentucky Foundation for Women&#39;s award in education for "two decades of activities focused on promoting literacy and literary arts in Kentucky".</p><br>
<p>The State Reform School Historic District encompasses the surviving early buildings of the former Maine State Reform School for Boys off Westbrook Street in South Portland, Maine. The complex was developed between 1850 and 1921, and was redeveloped into apartments and other uses in the 2000s. The area, part of South Portland&#39;s Brick Hill neighborhood, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Maine State Reform School for Boys was authorized by the state in 1850, and was the first juvenile detention facility in the state. Its first building was completed in 1853 to a design by Boston architect Gridley James Fox Bryant, who had a specialization in prison design. The school was enlarged by the construction of "cottages" (small dormitories) in the 1890s and 1900s, designed by Portland architects John Calvin Stevens, George M. Coombs, and Eugene Gibbs. Coombs also oversaw alterations to the Bryant building in 1905–06, when it was converted to exclusively administrative and educational uses. In 1921, the Gould School was added. In the 2000s, the school property was converted to other uses, its cottages converted to residences.</p><br>
<p>The former school is organized around Jordan Park, a small park bounded by Lydia Lane and Red Oak Drive. It is bounded on the south and east by Long Creek and Interstate 295, and on the north by Portland International Jetport. A residential subdivision stands to the west. The former administration building is a cruciform four-story structure with Tudor Revival styling. Four cottages, now apartment houses, line the park; all are Colonial Revival, either 2-1/2 or three stories in height, also of brick. The Gould School is a 1-1/2 story brick building with Classical Revival styling, including a temple-front entry pavilion supported by Tuscan columns.</p><br>
<p>The South Street Bridge is a historic Pratt truss bridge, carrying Vermont Route 31 across the Poultney River just south of the village center of Poultney, Vermont. Built in 1923, it is one of a small number of surviving Pratt through trusses in the state, and one of just three that survives from the period before the state&#39;s devastating 1927 floods. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 as Bridge 4.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Vermont Route 31 is the major roadway leading south from the village of Poultney in western Vermont. Starting as Grove Street in the village center, it crosses the Poultney River on this bridge, and is known in the southern portion as South Street. The bridge is oriented north-south, and the river flows roughly westward, eventually forming the state line with neighboring New York before emptying into Lake Champlain. The bridge is a typical single-span Pratt through truss structure, with a span of 126 ft, and rests on abutments of poured concrete with large boulders mixed in. There is a sidewalk cantilevered outside the downstream truss, and the roadway width is 21 ft (two lanes).</p><br>
<p>The bridge was designed in 1922 by Frank Garran, a state engineer, to conform to standards enacted by the state in 1921, and was completed in 1923. Its trusses were fabricated by the Palmer Steel Company of Holyoke, Massachusetts. The bridge was paid for by state and local funds. At the time of its construction, most state-funded bridges were still built as concrete deck bridges, and the use of trusses was still a developing strategy, which would be greatly accelerated by the massive flooding the state experienced in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The South Main Street Residential Historic District encompasses a residential area south of downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. The area, extending along South Main Street roughly between 19th and 23rd Streets, was developed between about 1880 and 1945, and includes a well-preserved set of residential architecture from that period. Notable buildings include the Luxor Apartments, the Holcomb Court Apartments, and the Ada Thompson Memorial Home.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. In 2012 it was enlarged to include the west side of the 2000 block of Scott Street.</p><br>
<p>The South Scott Street Historic District encompasses a small portion of a residential area south of downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. It includes the 2400 block of South Scott Street, and one block of 24th Street just to its west. Developed between about 1890 and 1950, this area has one of the city&#39;s best-preserved concentrations of modest middle-class residences from that period. It includes fourteen buildings, ranging stylistically from the Queen Anne to the post-World War II vernacular.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Southern Trust Building, also known as Pyramid Place, is a historic commercial building at 221 West 2nd Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a ten-story steel, concrete and glass U-shaped structure, built in 1906–07 to a design by George R. Mann, designer of the Arkansas State Capitol. It was the city&#39;s first skyscraper, and the tallest building in the state at the time of its construction. It is an early example of what became known later as curtain wall construction.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Mill Creek Bridge is located north of Cherokee, Iowa, United States. It spans Mill Creek for 207 ft. On June 24, 1891, a disastrous flood along the Little Sioux River and its tributaries wiped out nearly every bridge in Cherokee County. The following month the county board of supervisors signed a contract with the George E. King Bridge Co. of Des Moines for 17,650 to replace the bridges. The old bridge is closed to vehicular traffic.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Hotel is a historic building located in Cherokee, Iowa, United States. Robert A. Lewis was a New York City native who settled in the Cherokee area in 1872. He had a background in carpentry, but he established a nursery in Cherokee. After moving into town he started planning for his hotel around 1897. He served as the contractor for its construction, and it was completed two years later. The hotel remained in the care of his family until 1966.</p><br>
<p>The three-story building was designed by the Cedar Rapids, Iowa architectural firm of Josselyn & Taylor in the Second Renaissance Revival style. Lewis built the hotel on an irregular, trapezoidal-shaped parcel. The odd shape of the parcelled to an irregular building layout, with a series of bays jutting out on the Fourth Street side - for this reason, the building&#39;s south (back) end is quite a bit wider than its north (front) end. The first-floor exterior is composed of limestone, while the upper two floors are brick. The first floor consists of 8,250 square feet of commercial space in three bays - central, east, and west. The lower basement level consists of 7,400 square feet in three bays - central, east, and west.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, Zachary Z. Zoul, Owner and Managing Member, announced that Zoul Properties LLC had acquired the Historic Lewis Hotel. Plans include restoring its historic exterior elevation and interior configuration, specifically with the grand lobby and foyer.</p><br>
<p>The Cherokee Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Cherokee, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The historic district covers most of the citys central business district. Most of the buildings are two and three stories tall, and built of brick. There are two frame buildings from the citys earliest years. Cherokee is somewhat unusual in that it did not have a devastating fire in its history, therefore the downtown area was able to grow incrementally. Unlike many county seats, it does not have a focal point such as a centrally located courthouse square. The Cherokee County Courthouse was built on a hill to the west of the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>The district is almost completely made up of commercial buildings. Churches, residential, and civic buildings are either on the periphery or well outside of the downtown proper. The upper floors of the buildings generally house professional offices. Both the Illinois Central Railroad Depot (1896), and the Baggage Terminal (1896) are contributing properties. The period of significance is from 1867 to 1955, and the buildings are constructed during that time frame. The commercial Italianate, Romanesque Revival, Neoclassical, and Art Deco/Moderne Style are dominant. Prominent architects who have buildings in the district include Josselyn & Taylor (Lewis Hotel; 1899), Warren Wilfred Beach (Hawley Allison Block; c. 1910), and William Beuttler and Ralph Arnold (Sachse, Bunn & Company Block; 1920).</p><br>
<p>Cold Spring Farm is a historic house on Cold Spring Farm Road in Phippsburg, Maine. Built in 1774 by a Loyalist refugee from Boston, it is a fine and well-preserved example of Georgian architecture in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Cold Spring Farm is located on the western bank of the Kennebec River in northern Phippsburg, at a point opposite Arrowsic Island where the river narrows. It is accessed by road from Maine State Route 209 by Fiddler&#39;s Reach Road and Old Ferry Road. It is a two-story brick structure, with a tall hip roof and two interior chimneys. Oriented facing roughly south towards the river, its north side is built partly into a slope, revealing only the top stories on the north side. Its exterior is quite plain, with sash windows in rectangular openings, and a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows. The main block is flanked by small single-story ells to the east and west. The interior retains period woodwork and finishes, including fireplace mantels, doors and wainscoting. The central stairway underwent some alterations in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1774 by William Lee, an Englishman who had settled in Boston, Massachusetts, but decided to leave the city that year following civil disturbances of the American Revolution. Lee was from a family of brickmakers, and fashioned the bricks for the house from clay found on the banks of a stream just north of the house. The property is apparently named for a nearby spring, which does not freeze in the winter.</p><br>
