<p>The Storm Creek Bridge is located northeast of Carroll, Iowa, United States. The 64 ft span carries traffic on Phoenix Avenue over Storm Creek. This bridge was one of 15 similar spans that Carroll County had built in 1913. The county board of supervisors contracted with the Standard Bridge Company of Omaha to build the Warren pony truss structures that were designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission . They were supported by a timber substructure. The bridges became the prototype of what would become the ISHC&#39;s standard design. Standard Bridge was paid $29,174 to build all the bridges, which included the costs for this bridge at $2,026. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Storm Creek Bridge 2 is located east of Carroll, Iowa, United States. The 57 ft span carries traffic on 190th Street over Storm Creek.

The county board of supervisors contracted with the Standard Bridge Company of Omaha to build the Warren pony truss structures that were designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission . They were supported by a timber substructure. The bridges became the prototype of what would become the ISHC&#39;s standard design. Standard Bridge was paid $29,174 to build all the bridges, which included the costs for this bridge at $1,987. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Alexander Thoirs House is the oldest surviving brick house in Wabasha, Minnesota, United States, and the earliest example of the brick merchant houses that characterized the citys 19th-century streetscape. It was built in two phases in 1868 and 1870 for a successful local shoemaker. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 for having local significance in the theme of architecture. It was nominated for its status in the citys early housing stock, its fine Greek Revival architecture, and its embodiment of the success of Wabashas early merchant class, which helped establish the citys own commercial importance.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Alexander Thoirs House is a wood frame building with a brick veneer. The main section is a two-story rectangle, with a -story wing centered on one side, giving the house a T-shaped footprint. The foundation is cement-plastered limestone. A porch spans the front of the main wing and wraps around to attach to the side wing. The house sits prominently on a corner lot facing northeast.</p><br>
<p>The house is unornamented aside from the distinctive gable returns of Greek Revival architecture. Other elements of the style include the low gables, sidehall plan, and general proportions. The brick veneer and arched windows, however, are quite atypical of Greek Revival.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alexander Thoirs was a Scottish immigrant who had this home built for himself in 1868 shortly after arriving in Wabasha. Two years later he had additional work done on the house, which was likely when the T-wing was added. He established himself as a shoe- and bootmaker, one of the merchants who helped position Wabasha as a commercial center for finished goods in the region even before the arrival of railroad access. The unusual use of brick veneer—and the lower quality of the brick, which is fairly soft—suggest the underdeveloped construction and manufacturing industries of the time, and the lack of transportation infrastructure to deliver more refined materials and methods.</p><br>
<p>The front porch was added in the 1920s. At an unknown date, an enclosed wooded porch replaced an open porch in the south corner and a canopy was added to the rear of the house to serve as a basic carport.</p><br>
<p>The Thoirs House is the oldest of some 20 brick residences surviving from the 19th century in Wabasha. All were built by the first two generations of the city&#39;s merchant class, forming a distinctive architectural stock that contrasts with the elaborate wood-frame Victorian architecture that characterized most other communities in Minnesota. As time went on the choice of building material appears to have been a matter of local taste rather than accessibility, as Wabasha was not a major manufacturer of brick compared to Lake City and Red Wing upriver.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Block is a historic commercial building at Cumberland and Main Streets in Westbrook, Maine, United States. Built in 1882 to a design by John Calvin Stevens, it is a sophisticated example of commercial Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Warren Block stands southeast of the S. D. Warren Paper Mill, at the junction of Main and Cumberland Streets, at that point two one-way streets forming (along with Harnois Avenue) a large island occupied mainly by commercial buildings. The building&#39;s front facade faces Cumberland Street, but it also has frontage on Main Street, and is separated from the actual road junction by an attached small modern single-story commercial building. The block is a three-story building, with brick exterior on the lower two floors and a shingled exterior on the third. It is basically rectangular, with a narrower section projecting toward the street corner, and a large polygonal section projecting toward Main Street. The front facade has three storefronts, with recessed entries, although some of these have been modernized. The building entrance to the upper floors is set to their left, with a decorative gabled and bracketed hood sheltering it. Windows on the second floor are set in segmented-arch openings, with multipane upper sashes and transoms.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1882 for Samuel D. Warren, owner of the Warren Paper Mill, as a service to the mill community. Its upper floors housed offices and a large community meeting space, which was used by fraternal organizations such as the International Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. It was designed by John Calvin Stevens, then working in partnership with Francis H. Fassett.</p><br>
<p>The Gorham Covered Bridge carries Gorham Bridge Road across Otter Creek in a rural area of Pittsford and Proctor, Vermont. It is a Town lattice truss bridge, built in 1841 by Abraham Owen and Nicholas M. Powers, the latter in the early stages of his career as a well-known bridgewright. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gorham Covered Bridge joins northern Proctor and southern Pittsford, both rural communities in central-northern Rutland County, Vermont. It carries Gorham Bridge Road across Otter Creek, a minor side road which forms the town boundary at that point. The bridge is oriented east–west across the north-flowing creek. It is a single span Town lattice truss, 114 ft in length, resting on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete. The bridge has been strengthened by the addition of laminated beams below the road deck, which is 18 ft wide. The bridge&#39;s exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding, which ends short of the roof line, and is topped by a gabled roof now covered in corrugated metal. The siding extends around the sides to the portal faces, and a short way inside the portals.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1841, and is one of Vermonts oldest surviving covered bridges. It was built by Abraham Owen and Nicholas M. Powers, the latter then an apprentice to Owen. Powers, A Vermont native, was one of the best-known 19th-century bridgewrights, credited with a large number of covered bridges. At the time of this bridges listing on the National Register in 1974, it was one of three surviving Vermont bridges known to have been built by Powers.</p><br>
<p>The Arleta Branch Library, also known as the Arleta Carnegie Library and the Wikman Building, is a Carnegie library building in Portland, Oregon&#39;s Foster-Powell neighborhood, in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The library building was designed by Folger Johnson and built in 1918 with funds provided by the Carnegie Corporation. In 2016, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago & Northwestern Passenger Depot and Baggage Room-Carroll, also known as the Carroll Depot is a historic building located in Carroll, Iowa, United States. It is an example of a replacement station built along its Iowa mainline by the Chicago and North Western Railway  in 1896. It replaced a two-story, frame, combination station that was first built in 1867 by its predecessor line, the Cedar Rapids and Missouri River Railroad. That building had experienced two fires. The CNW had built two branch lines from Carroll in 1877 and 1880, which increased business and necessitated a larger depot. The Carroll Express Building was also built across the street for further railroad use. A separate wooden freight house had been built in 1888. Chicago architect Charles Sumner Frost designed this station in the Romanesque Revival style. The baggage room is separated from the depot by a breezeway. Frost designed at least 15 stations for the CNW in Iowa and Nebraska and another 14 in the Chicago area. The building represents the prosperity of the line during the Golden Age of Railroads.</p><br>
<p>Passenger service ended here in 1959, and the building was used by the railroad for storage for years after that. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The American Express Building-Carroll, also known as the Carroll Express Building is a historic structure located in Carroll, Iowa, United States. Like the Chicago & Northwestern Passenger Depot across the street, the express building is an example of a replacement station built during the Golden Age of Steam Railroading. It replaced a frame, structure that was built sometime between 1888 and 1893. The Chicago and North Western Railway  had built two branch lines from Carroll in 1877 and 1880, which increased business and necessitated the building of the original express building between 1883 and 1888. Chicago architect Charles Sumner Frost designed this building, and the depot. They are similar in design, and were both completed in 1896. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>American Express was one of several independent express companies that leased facilities from the railroads. The railroads also carried and serviced their cars for another fee. In general, this was a service to the railroads as these companies generally handled small shipments, which were not as cost-effective as the larger shipments they handled themselves.</p><br>
<p>The William A. Leet and Frederick Hassler Farmstead District, also known as the Leet/Hassler Farmstead or Glenhaven, is a nationally recognized historic district located in Manning, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>William A. Leet owned this farm from 1915 to 1918. During that time the Bungalow/American Craftsman-style house, matching three-bay garage, and the gambrel-roofed frame barn were built. Both were constructed by local builders Hans Detlefsen and Fritz Thorns. They were meant to invoke the wealth of the owner, which may have been his undoing, as Leet squandered his money and lost his estate and his wife to divorce. He lost the farm to his farm manager Frederick H. Hassler. Hassler owned the farm from 1918 to 1936, when he lost it as a result of the Great Depression. The rest of the historic farm buildings, structures and objects were built during his ownership. The corn crib, built in 1943, is the non-contributing building because it was built after the period of significance.</p><br>
<p>During the Leet-Hassler ownership, the farm was known for its Poland China hog operation. The farmstead has been restored to the period of its historic significance.</p><br>
<p>The Henry N. Frentress Farmstead is a historic farm located at 19140 USA Route 20 West in East Dubuque, Illinois. The farm was established in 1832 by the parents of Henry N. Frentress; Henry, the familys most noteworthy and prosperous farmer, ran the farm from 1876 to his death in 1899. His agricultural pursuits included both common farm products such as livestock and wheat, which he shipped to large markets on the Illinois Central Railroad, and several varieties of fruit, which he sold locally. He was also known for his engineering innovations; his most profitable was a new variety of barbed wire, the profits from which bolstered East Dubuques developing economy. Henry and his mother also built the farm&#39;s Italianate farmhouse; the farmhouse is one of two main buildings remaining at the farm, along with a summer kitchen which dates to the 1830s.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 2011.</p><br>
<p>The John and Maria Webb House is an historic house at 121 Main Street in the center of Bridgton, Maine, United States. Built in the first half of the 19th century, it is a rare surviving residential property on the town&#39;s main street that was never adapted for commercial use. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Webb House stands near the very center of Bridgton&#39;s commercial Main Street, on the south side of Main Street, between the Bridgton Public Library and Stevens Creek. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, wooden clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. It is stylistical Federalist, with some Greek Revival elements. It has narrow trim at the corners and around the windows, and a comparatively elaborate recessed entry, with sidelight windows in the recess, and framing pilasters and entablature around the recess. The interior follows a center chimney plan, and features a mix of original Federal and Greek Revival trim elements. A single-story ell extends from the rear of the house.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the Webb House is probably its ell, which was built at an unknown date, but was probably standing when the property was purchased by John Webb in 1840. In 1841-42 the house achieved most of its present appearance. It is one of a small number of buildings in Bridgton with Federal period elements. Its setting, on Main Street, was at the time of a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses (the latter dominating by tanning and mills on nearby Stevens Brook), but is now almost entirely commercial and retail.</p><br>
<p>The Hager Farm is a historic farmstead on United States Route 7 in southern Wallingford, Vermont. Its farmhouse, built about 1800, is one of the oldest in the community, and is regionally unusual because of its gambrel roof. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hager farm complex occupies about 3 acre of land on either side of US 7, roughly midway between the village center of Wallingford, and its southern town line with Mount Tabor. The house stands set back from the west side of the road, opposite a gambrel-roofed barn and silo set close to the road. The house is a five-bay gambrel-roofed wood frame structure, with two interior chimneys and clapboard siding. The front and rear roof faces have three-bay shed-roof dormers extending from the steep portion of the roof. The main entrance is sheltered by a shed-roof porch supported by simple round columns set on a rubblestone skirt. An ell extends to the rear of the house, joining it to a horse barn. The framing of the house is reported to be of plank-frame construction.</p><br>
<p>The house at the heart of the Hager farm was built about 1800, not far from the site of the first known residence built in Wallingford (c. 1770). The farm property was owned in the 19th century by members of the Earle family, and in the 20th by the Hagers. The gambrel-roofed Cape house is a relatively rare form in the state, and this house is one of the better-preserved of a cluster of such houses in southwestern Vermont.</p><br>
<p>The South Fourche LaFave River Bridge is a historic bridge in rural western Perry County, Arkansas. It is a two-span Parker pony truss bridge, carrying Arkansas Highway 7 across the South Fourche La Fave River, roughly midway between Ola and Jessieville in the eastern reaches of Ouachita National Forest. The bridge was built in 1933, and has a total length of 485 ft, each of its main spans measuring 102 ft.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The C.L. Sailor House is a historic house at Wilson and Wiley Streets in Bigelow, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, its walls a combination of brick and composition shingles, set on a stone foundation. Its dominant feature is a wraparound porch, supported by paneled posts set on brick piers. Built in 1917, it is a distinctive blend of Colonial Revival and Craftsman styling. C.L. Sailor, for whom it was built, was general manager of the Bayou Fourche Lumber Company, and owned two area newspapers.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Collums-Baker House is a historic house on the east side of United States Route 65, about 0.5 mi south of Bee Branch, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with an irregular roof line and massing, set on a block foundation. Its main block has a roof that is gabled on one end, with gable-on-hip on the other, and a lower hip-roofed section to the right, with a single-story hip-roofed ell extending further to the right. A single-story hip-roof porch extends across the main section, featuring turned posts and decorative brackets.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1907, it is the best local example of the Folk Victorian style. The house shares characteristics with the Art Scanlan House, suggesting both may have the same builder.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Old Westbrook High School is a historic school building at 765 Main Street in central Westbrook, Maine. Built in 1886, it is one of the city&#39;s most architecturally sophisticated 19th-century buildings, designed by the Portland firm of Fassett & Tompson. Now converted to senior housing, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Old Westbrook High School building is located on the east side of the city&#39;s downtown, just east of the post office on the north side of Main Street. Its main section is a large -story masonry structure, built out of red brick with brownstone trim, and covered with a hip roof. A 20th-century two-story addition, also in brick, is attached to its rear, and extends to the right, giving the structure an overall L shape. The front of the building is six bays wide, with a four-story tower at the leftmost bay. Most windows are set in segmented-arch openings with brick headers and stone ears, and there are beltcourses of raised stonework between the windows just below the ears, and between the floors. It has a shallow cornice with corbelled brickwork, and a slightly projecting two-bay section which rises to a gable housing three narrow round-arch windows.</p><br>
<p>The school was designed by Fassett & Tompson, and was completed in 1886. It was built on the site of a wood-frame elementary school, and included elementary grades when it first opened. Part of the rear addition was built in 1912, its cost donated by the daughter of mill owner S. D. Warren. A second extension to the building&#39;s left, also designed by Frederick A. Tompson, was added in 1913 but razed in 1976 to make way for the post office. The extension of the rear eastward to Foster Street was added in 1936, designed by Miller & Beal, Inc.</p><br>
<p>The school served as a high school until 1956, when the present high school was put into service. It was then used as a junior high school until it was finally closed in 1975. The gymnasium and related facilities served as headquarters for the Westbrook Recreation Department for several decades until relocation to the Westbrook Community Center. Much of the rest of the building sat vacant until it was eventually rehabilitated and converted for use as senior housing.</p><br>
<p>The General Robinson Hall House is a historic house at 3144 United States Route 7 in southern Wallingford, Vermont.

<p>The house was built about 1830 for General Robinson Hall, an officer in the Vermont militia who had married Sarah, the daughter of Isaac Munson, a prominent local landowner. The house is nearly identical to Munson&#39;s house, which stood further north on US 7 and was built about the same time. Hall was involved in the promotion and construction of the railroad through the area.</p><br>
<p>The Soldiers Monument is an American Civil War memorial located at the northern corner of Galena Avenue and Stephenson Street in Freeport, Illinois. General Smith D. Atkins designed the monument, which was erected in 1871. The limestone obelisk monument is 83 ft tall; a statue of Victory originally topped the monument, but it was destroyed by a lightning strike in 1960. Marble tablets at the base of the memorial listed the names of Stephenson Countys Civil War casualties; these were reversed and covered by bronze plaques in 1924 to allow space to list all of the county&#39;s Civil War veterans. Four 7 ft statues were located at the corners of the base, which were replaced by identical replicas in 1924. The statues represent soldiers from each major branch of the Union military: the Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and Navy.</p><br>
<p>The monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 1, 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Replacement of the Victory statue</h2><br>
<p>After several years of fundraising by the Civil War Monument Fund, over $120,000 was raised to replace the destroyed victory statue. The efforts of the group and many local donors culminated in the repair of the monument and the replacement of the statue on December 4, 2015. Vincent Tolpo, a local artist, was contracted to recreate the Victory statue.</p><br>

<p>The Manning Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Manning, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The historic district contains a mix of commercial buildings, which include specialty stores, financial institutions, healthcare, and professional offices. Civic buildings include city hall and the public library. The buildings were largely constructed of brick by local contractors. There were two commercial buildings designed by architects Samuel P. Hart of Carroll, Iowa and Charles W. Steinbaugh of Omaha. The period of significance is from 1885 to 1965, and the buildings were constructed during that time frame. Two destructive fires in 1891 and 1895 had a significant impact in shaping Manning&#39;s commercial district. Italianate, Romanesque Revival, and Moderne styles are dominant. The four structures are the brick-paved streets, which were originally paved in 1915 by C.L. Mosher of Sioux City, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The city council enacted an ordinance in 1977 that required all new buildings and any remodeled facades to use a Bavarian theme to honor Manning&#39;s German heritage. Even though most of the German immigrants who settled here were not from Bavaria, it was thought to most people this was the most identifiable German architectural style. The ordinance was revoked in 2008 as part of the growing historic preservation movement in Manning.</p><br>

<p>The Adel Bridge is located on the east edge of Adel, Iowa, United States. The bridge was constructed in 1882. The 400 ft span carried traffic on River Street over the Raccoon River. The Dallas County Board of Supervisors received a petition to replace a deteriorating bridge at this location. The old bridge had been built where ferry service had been initiated in 1850, three years after the town had been established. They contracted with the King Iron Bridge and Manufacturing of Cleveland to build the two-span Pratt through truss bridge for $12,500. It was a primary river crossing into Adel until 1932 when the USA Highway 6 bridge was completed not far to the south. While it remains in place, it was closed to vehicular traffic in 2000. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>

<p>The High Street Historic District encompasses a well-preserved 19th-century residential area of Camden, Maine. Extending along High Street , the district has maintained its character since the 1920s, despite encroaching commercialization of nearby areas, and retains a cross-section of architecture of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and enlarged in 1999 to include the Olmsted Brothers-designed Harbor Park at Main and Atlantic.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Camden is located on the west side of Penobscot Bay in the Mid Coast area of Maine. Its town center is at the mouth of the Megunticook River, where the first English settlers established mills in 1771. The town was incorporated in 1791, and grew in the 19th century as a shipping and shipbuilding port. United States Route 1 is the primary road through the community, passing through the commercial center at the river and continuing north toward Belfast. The area immediately north of the river was initially farmland, but was developed over time as the town&#39;s economy grew over the course of the 19th century, transitioning from a fishing and shipbuilding community, to one that is based mainly on tourism.</p><br>
<p>The High Street district begins at the junction of Main and Atlantic Streets, abutting the Camden Great Fire Historic District, which encompasses the town&#39;s commercial area. Its southernmost properties are the Harbor Park and the 1929 Camden Public Library and adjacent landscaped amphitheater, the latter two a National Historic Landmark for the landscape work by Fletcher Steele. The park, designed by the Olmsted Brothers, was developed in the 1930s, and retains its original path layout and other features. From the library, the district extends north along Main and High Streets as far as Marine Drive, including houses that once served as farmhouses early in the 19th century, and the elaborate Queen Anne Norumbega Castle and Carriage House (the latter now a separate residence).</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Portland Main Post Office is located on the east side of Forest Avenue, across the street from Deering Oaks park. The building and its associated parking areas occupy the entire block bounded on the north by Kennebec Street and on the south by Portland Street. The southern part of the building is its older portion; it is a steel-framed structure finished in brick and stone, two stories in height. Its front is divided into thirteen bays, articulated by brick pilasters, with most of the ground-floor bays filled with windows set in round-arch openings. The center three bays house the original main entrance, and the outer three bays on each side are in projecting wings with gabled fronts. The addition to the north is of roughly equal size to the original, but has much simpler styling.</p><br>
<p>The post office was built in 1932, at an appropriated cost of $850,000. When built, it was the second largest post office in New England, second in size to that in Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by the father-and-son team of John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens in the "New England Colonial" style, a blend of Colonial and Classical Revival styles. The addition, built in 1967 to house other federal offices, was designed by Richard Wright of Lewiston. The post office is now located in the addition; the original building now houses a variety of commercial, professional, and government offices.</p><br>
<p>The Hosford–Sherman Farm is a historic farm property on Vermont Route 30 in northern Poultney, Vermont. Established in the late 18th century, the farm includes the original farmhouse, now an ell to a 19th-century brick house, and a late 19th-century barn, along with more than 120 acre of farmland. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hosford–Sherman Farm is located in rural northern Poultney, its many farm complex divided by VT 30, about 0.5 mi north of its junction with Saltis Road. Set among open fields, the dominant elements of the farm complex are its house and barn, both of which stand near the road. The barn, on the west side, is a large 2-1/2 story post-and-beam structure, with a late 19th-century core, to which a number of additions have been made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. A cross-gabled addition with overhead door at its center defines the street-facing front, and there is a round silo at the rear. The house, located across the street, is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, with an older attached 1-1/2 story ell. Basically vernacular, it is five bays wide, with end chimneys and an unframed center entrance. Behind the house is a combination tool shed and chicken house.</p><br>
<p>The farm was probably first established by Ebenezer Smith, who sold it in 1790, with a small house (presumed to be the ell of the brick house) included, to Reuben Hosford. Hosford farmed, and also operated a nearby tavern on the road, which (then as now) was the major north-south route through the town. His granddaughter married Olcott Sherman, who is credited with building the brick house. The property was, as of its listing on the National Register in 1995, still in the hands of Sherman&#39;s descendants, although the only remaining commercial agricultural activity was haying.</p><br>
<p>The Damascus CCC Camp, Co. No. 3781 was a Civilian Conservation Corps encampment on Camp Hill Road in Damascus, Arkansas.

All were built in 1935 or 1936. At the center of the original camp property is a single-story brick ranch house, built in 1951 by the regionally noted stonemason Silas Owens, Sr.</p><br>
<p>The camp site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>

The main entrance, on the east side, is sheltered by a gabled porch, with secondary entrances on the south side, each sheltered by a gable roof supported by large brackets. The gymnasium was built in 1933 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Perryville Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic commercial and civic heart of the city of Perryville, Arkansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012, and it includes two buildings already separately listed. It is centered on the courthouse square, where the 1880 Perry County Courthouse stands. It includes nine contributing buildings, including buildings facing the square, with a few included on adjacent side streets, and six non-contributing ones. This area was developed beginning in the 1840s, when Perryville was founded, and grew through the mid-20th century. Most of the buildings are vernacular commercial buildings, finished in wood, brick, or stone. The most unusual is the Rustic Perryville American Legion Building.</p><br>
<p>Architect Irven G. McDaniels appears to have been the architect who, in 1961, designed a second annex expanding the Perry County Courthouse.</p><br>

<p>Bruce&#39;s Snowball Market No. 1 Addition is a historic building located in Perry, Iowa, United States. The two-story brick structure with Art Deco styling was built in 1930. It was an addition to a building, non-extant, that was built in 1922 on the edge of the downtown area. It is an example of a grocery store suited to people who own automobiles and could drive to acquire goods and services. The building follows an irregular plan that conforms to the irregularly shaped site. It is also the terminus of a significant urban view in town. The structure features brickwork and cast concrete trim in chevron patterns there were popular in Art Deco decor. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Jones Business College, also known as the Jones Building, is a historic building located in Perry, Iowa, United States. C. Durant Jones was a social activist who supported the cause of Prohibition. Jones developed and promoted the "Jones Chautauqua System," which was a series of Chautauqua-style productions that promoted the temperance movement across Iowa in the 1910s. He also owned and operated a normal school and a commercial school. All three of these ventures were operated from this building from 1913, when it was built, until 1921. The foundation and walls of this structure are composed of poured concrete, a reaction to the fires that plagued Perry. After its academic and administration use, the building was converted into apartments. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The John Wilson House is a historic dwelling located southwest of De Soto, Iowa, United States. The house is an example of the second stage of house construction in Iowa. The first stage was generally log construction by the first settlers. This stage is marked by plain, stone structures. John Wilson was a part of a migration of Quakers from Indiana into Iowa beginning in the 1830s. Wilson and his family initially settled in Warren County in 1853. They then moved to Madison County, and then into southern Dallas County where he bought this land in 1854. Wilson built this two-story house of locally quarried limestone in 1861. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
