<p>Mears Cottage, also known as Mears Hall, is a historic structure located on the Grinnell College campus in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. Originally known as Iowa College, it was the second institution west of the Mississippi River to admit women as students. The first degree was awarded to a woman ten years later. The increase in the number of female students and a destructive tornado that hit the campus in 1882 were the impetus for rebuilding the campus. The building opened on January 1, 1889, with thirty women and a housemother as residents. Each room contained closet space, toilet, medicine cabinet, dresser, study table with attached shelves, chairs, rug and cot. It was the first building on campus with electric lights, installed in the 1890s. New York City architect Charles D. Marvin designed the expansion of the building in 1903, and by 1915 it was connected to other buildings in the women&#39;s quadrangle. The building became coed in 1978, and closed the next year because of its deteriorating condition. It sat unused for several years until alumni John H. and Lucile Hanson Harris provided the funds for its renovation. It reopened in 1986. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Sheldon Theatre is a historic performance venue in Red Wing, Minnesota, United States, built in 1904. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 as the T.B. Sheldon Memorial Auditorium for having local significance in the theme of performing arts. It was nominated for being the first municipally owned theatre in the United States and a long-standing cultural venue in Red Wing. It later became a contributing property to the Red Wing Mall Historic District as well.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1856, Massachusetts businessman Theodore B. Sheldon moved to Red Wing with his first wife, Mary. Sheldon was very prominent in the small, growing town of Red Wing. He first joined Jesse McIntire and established himself in the mercantile business. Sheldon was involved with numerous other industries in Red Wing, including grain, banks, railroads, stoneware, and gas and power. Most prominently, he and McIntire established Red Wing&#39;s First National Bank in 1865. Sheldon also unified the Bluff and Diamond flour mills to establish Red Wing Mills, which have been described as the pride of Red Wing.</p><br>
<p>When Sheldon died in 1900, his will required that half of his estate be used for a public, nonsectarian purpose in the town of Red Wing. On March 3, 1903, Sheldon&#39;s trustees proposed the idea of T.B. Sheldon Memorial Auditorium, and the city council approved it. Eighteen months later, the new theater stood on the corner of Third Street and East Avenue. It was managed by the city of Red Wing.</p><br>
<p>The theater opened on October 10, 1904, with a performance of the light comic opera The Royal Chef. The opening ceremonies also included a performance by the Rossiter Orchestra from Minneapolis.</p><br>
<p>From the beginning, some feared that the theater would have a demoralizing effect on the town. During opening night, several seats were left vacant in protest. In the 1920s, Red Wing church groups took their concerns to the city council. They petitioned, unsuccessfully, for greater censorship and for Sunday shows to be discontinued.</p><br>
<p>The theater was originally used for live performances. It primarily showed lighter fare, like musical comedies, and romantic dramas. In 1911 the theater began projecting silent movies. After a fire in 1918, the theater was refurbished by the original architecture firm, overseen by Lowell Lamoreaux. Among the improvements was a movie projection box. The theater re-opened with a viewing of the movie Tom Sawyer, which signaled its shift away from live theater and towards film.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s and 1930s, the theater became a popular and profitable movie house. Red Wing was fortunate not to suffer considerably during the Great Depression. In 1929, the theater began showing sound movies or "talkies". It was remodeled in 1936 to improve the visuals and acoustics for showing films.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium began to experience trouble in the 1950s. A nationwide slump in moviegoing slowed its profits, and unwise investments in improvements sunk its funds. The theater was further threatened in 1957, when John Wright brought two lawsuits against it. Wright, the owner of a competing theater, alleged that the city had an unfair advantage over private entrepreneurs. He also filed suit to argue that a movie theater was not "public" and the auditorium was therefore in violation of Sheldon&#39;s trust.</p><br>
<p>In 1958 the Minnesota Supreme Court ordered the auditorium to quit the movie business. The theaters board found a way around the ruling, however, by leasing the theater to James Fraser. Fraser had been the theaters manager, and he continued to show movies there. In 1960 the Minnesota Supreme Court handed down its final decision, which was unanimously in favor of the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>Poor management caused continued financial problems for the theater in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1984 the board established a task force to raise money to restore the theater. The restored theater re-opened in 1988. The theater projected its last movie in May 1988, but it continued to host live entertainment. In 2012 the auditorium was offering a range of live programming that included both highbrow and middlebrow events.</p><br>

<p>The theater has a theatre organ, made by Kilgen.</p><br>
<p>The Head Tide Historic District encompasses a formerly industrial, now rural village at the head of tide of the Sheepscot River in Alna, Maine. The area had been industrially active since the mid-18th century, but its mills declined and were all destroyed by 1949, leaving a predominantly residential area with a number of houses dating mainly to the period before 1860. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Head Tide Village is located in northern Alna, and is centered on a stretch of Head Tide Road spanning the Sheepscot River between Maine State Route 218 and Maine State Route 194. The majority of the villages buildings are on the east side of the river, but its major public buildings, the 1838 Head Tide Church and the old schoolhouse, are on the west side. Just east of the bridge stands the former Jewett General Store building (1884). The river banks on both sides are in some places lined with the foundational remnants of the villages industrial past, most below the dam (first built 1760) a short distance upstream from the bridge. There is a house whose property borders the Shepscot built in 1787, known as the Spring House, because the spring that used to supply the community with fresh water exists under the Kitchen in the house. A well in its front yard can still be used to draw water.</p><br>
<p>Settlement along the Sheepscot River by colonial settlers began in a significant way only with the end of hostilities with Native Americans in 1760. In that year, Lincoln County was established, and in 1761 Doctor Silvester Gardiner acquired a land grant that included the Head Tide area. One of his early land sales was to David Nelson, who built the first dam. Originally part of Newcastle, the village was substantial enough to be set off in 1794 as New Milford (after the large number of mills at Head Tide), later renamed Alna. In the early 19th century the village had six water wheels powering lumber, grist, and textile processing operations, and the village was the town&#39;s economic center.</p><br>
<p>Advances in technology, and the area&#39;s remote location, worked against it in the late 19th century. In 1896 a spring freshet destroyed the mills on one side of the river, and a fire destroyed those on the other side in 1924. Only one mill was rebuilt after these events, and it was torn down in 1949.</p><br>
<p>Pawlet Town Hall houses the municipal offices of the town of Pawlet, Vermont. Located at 122 School Street in the village center, it was built in 1881 as a combined town hall, meeting and performance venue, and retail establishment. It has served as town hall since its construction, and is a good local example of late Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Pawlet Town Hall is located in the village center of Pawlet, on the north side of School Street. It is set on a terrace overlooking Flower Brook, a short way east of its confluence with the Mettawee River. It is a large two-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof topped by an ornate square cupola. A single-story hip-roofed porch extends around three sides of the building. The upper floor windows are narrow round-arched windows with moulded decorative sills and lintels. The ground floor has irregularly spaced doors and sash windows. On the interior, the ground floor is partitioned into four spaces, which historically served as the clerks office, library, and a retail space. The latter has since been taken over by town functions, housing additional administrative offices and the selectmens meeting room. The upstairs houses a large auditorium with stage and dressing rooms.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of this building, the town&#39;s meetings were typically held in local taverns and churches. The town authorized construction of this building at the 1881 town meeting. It was built in partnership with a local businessman, Marcellus Wheeler, who donated the land and built most of the ground floor. He sold his interest in the building to Charles Taylor, who operated a general store in the retail space. Prior to its acquisition by the town, the retail space also hosted the town post office, a millinery shop, and the local Grange chapter. With the Grange in decline, the town purchased the commercial portion of the building in 1943.</p><br>
<p>The Center Valley Well House is a historic water well building on the grounds of the Center Valley Elementary School on Arkansas Highway 124 in Center Valley, Arkansas. It is an open-walled square stone structure, consisting of low stone walls and corner posts, which support a shallow-pitch pyramidal roof. The roof has exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style, and the walls are capped by concrete coping. Two of the walls have openings, which provide access  to the interior of the structure, which has a concrete floor. It was built in 1940 to shelter the well providing water to the original 1939 school building, using materials left over from its construction. It is a distinctive, yet modest, example of WPA architecture in the community.</p><br>
<p>The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Confederate Mothers Memorial is a public park at Skyline Drive and West 19th Street in Russellville, Arkansas. The park covers about 20 acre, most of which is unimproved woodlands. Near the junction of the two roads is a gravel parking lot, in which are three stone monuments, each one placed by a different Confederate veterans or memorial organization, with inscriptions honoring the mothers of the Confederacy.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Land for the park was donated in 1921 to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the monuments were dedicated that year. Plans to further develop the park with other amenities have never been realized. It is believed to be the only Confederate memorial of its type in the state.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Pine Knob Mountain Bike Park</h2><br>
<p>In 2022 and 2022, a mountain bike park was built—under the authority of the City of Russellville Parks and Recreation Department—within Confederate Mothers Memorial Park to improve an unmaintained park and provide community access to mountain bike trails.</p><br>
<p>The Capitol Complex Historic District encompasses the principal historic elements of Maines state administration complex at Capitol and State Streets in Augusta, Maine. Included in the district are the Maine State House, Capitol Park, The Blaine House , the Burton Cross Office Building, and a number of state-owned 19th century residences in the vicinity of the Blaine House. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The state of Maines central administrative complex is located on the west side of Augusta, the capital city, south of its downtown area. State Street (United States Route 201) runs south from the downtown area, providing the main access to the area. On the west side of that road stands the Maine State House, its core structure and landscaping designed by Charles Bulfinch. West of the state house stands the Burton Cross Office building, a modern 1950s granite-faced structure. On the east side of the state house, across state street, is the 20 acre Capitol Park, part of the citys original land grant to the state for the capitol complex. It includes landscape features designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architectural firm.</p><br>
<p>North of the state house, across Capitol Street, is The Blaine House, a National Historic Landmark property that now serves as the official residence of the governor of Maine. Built in 1833 and enlarged in the 1860s and 1870s by James G. Blaine, the house was given to the state in 1919. It was redesigned for use as the official residence by John Calvin Stevens, and its grounds are also landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to, and across the street from, the Blaine mansion, are three houses that were purchased by the state in the 20th century to provide a buffer area around the mansion grounds. These properties include two Greek Revival houses built in the 1830s, and the 1911 Guy P. Gannett House, the only significant example of Mediterranean Revival architecture in Kennebec County. At the rear of the Burton Cross Office Building, across Sewall Street, stands the 1897 Romanesque Revival Nash School, which was purchased by the state in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Perkins House is a historic house at 242 South Main Street in Rutland, Vermont. Built in 1915, it is a Colonial Revival brick house with unusual cast and poured concrete trim elements. It was built for the owner of a nearby clay processing business. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Perkins House stands near the southern Rutland city limit, at the southeast corner of Curtis and South Main Streets (the latter designated United States Route 4). The area is now a mixed commercial and residential area. The house is a -story masonry structure, set near the front of a large landscaped lot that extends east to Chase Avenue. It has a gabled roof, the gable eaves extended and adorned with carved brackets, and the front roof facade pierced by a gabled dormer on the right, and a slightly projecting gable section on the left. The left section shelters a polygonal window bay on the second floor. A single-story hip-roof porch extends across the front, fashioned largely out of concrete, including precast Tuscan columns mounted on pedestals, with precast concrete balustrades between. The interior of the house retains original woodwork and other decorative features.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1915-16 by Albert Bissell for Arthur Perkins, owner of the Rutland Fire Clay Company, whose plant, then located just to the east, had been built out of fire resistant materials by Bissell five years earlier. Perkins father founded the company in 1872, at first processing low-grade iron ore, but shifting to clay when the mines proved a better source of that material. Perkins took over the firm in 1898. The company plant was destroyed by fire in 1902, and its replace also succumbed to fire in 1910, sparking Perkins interest in fire-resistant construction methods. The house&#39;s exterior is built largely out of such materials, with major structural elements of its porches made of concrete poured in place. Perkins served as mayor of Rutland 1927–35.</p><br>
<p>The Fair View School is a historic school building at 2367 Mill Creek Road in Pope County, Arkansas, 4.5 miles northwest of Russellville, Arkansas.

<p>Capitol Park is a state-owned public park in Maine&#39;s state capitol complex on the west side of Augusta, Maine. Set aside in 1827, when the complex was established, the park, set between the Maine State House and the Kennebec River, served as a parade ground and encampment site during the American Civil War, and saw agricultural use before being formally designed as a park in the 1920s by the Olmsted Brothers. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Capitol Park is located on the western bank of the Kennebec River, from which it is separated by a former railroad right-of-way. It is about 20 acre in size, and roughly rectangular in shape, bounded by Capitol, State, and Union Streets. The terrain slopes upward from the river to State Street, which separates the park from the grounds of the Maine State House.</p><br>
<p>The people of Augusta gave the state the parcel of land that makes up the park and state house grounds in 1827, laying out State Street to provide access. The state planted a line of trees along State Street, and also established a boulevard from the state house site to the river. As part of the landscaping of the state house grounds, Charles Bulfinch articulated a design for the park that established a series of terraces descending to the river. In 1842 a granite monument to Governor Enoch Lincoln was installed near the parks eastern edge. By the 1850s, a second line of trees had been added, with paths along each row providing the main circulation pattern. All of this landscaping was lost when the area was used as a staging ground for the states troops in the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, the park was plowed, and briefly used for agriculture. By 1878 it had again been converted into a park, with a somewhat similar circulation pattern to its prewar state. In the 1920s, the state hired the Olmsted Brothers to prepare a master landscaping plan for its properties, which included the park, the state house grounds, and the adjacent governor&#39;s mansion. Work on the park to implement this design was overseen by Portland landscape architect Carl Rust Parker.</p><br>
<p>The Pittsford Green Historic District encompasses the heart of the traditional village center of Pittsford, Vermont. Centered on a stretch of United States Route 7, the village&#39;s development began in the late 18th century, and now consists almost entirely of buildings from the 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the town of Pittsford was first permanently settled by colonists in 1769, and the area that is now its village center began to take shape around 1795, with the opening of a tavern, the founding by Israel Keith of an iron foundry nearby, and the establishment of a marble quarry by Jeremiah Sheldon across Otter Creek to the west. The village became a stagecoach stop on the main road between Rutland and Vergennes, now United States Route 7. The village green, located on the east side of US 7, took a more definite shape with the construction of the Congregational Church in 1837. By the turn of the 20th century, most of the area&#39;s industries were in decline, the marble quarries being the notable exception.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends from the northern end of the village green southward along Main Street (US 7), to a four-way junction with Elm and Arch Streets where US 7 turns sharply to the east. The village green is roughly triangular in shape, and is lined on the east side by houses, with the Congregational Church set prominently on a rise at its north end. Most of the buildings in the district are wood frame residences. There are only five brick buildings: one is the church, another is the Romanesque Maclure (Walker Memorial) Library (1894–95). Five of the surviving houses date to the 1790s, representing the earliest surviving period of development.</p><br>
<p>The Dardanelle Commercial Historic District encompasses the part of the historic central business district of Dardanelle, Arkansas. The district extends along Front Street, from Pine Street in the north to nearly Oak Street in the south, and includes some properties on adjacent cross streets. Although this area has been commercially active since the 1820s , its present architecture reflects the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with modestly scaled one and two story masonry building predominating.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Buildings separately listed on the National Register include the Dardanelle Agriculture and Post Office, and the First Presbyterian Church.</p><br>
<p>The Dardanelle Post Office, originally the Dardanelle Agriculture and Post Office, is a historic government building at 103 North Front Street in downtown Dardanelle, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building, with a hip roof. It has a five-bay front facade, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a panel, transom window, and dentillated entablature.

A wide clipped-gable dormer projects from the front roof face, with a band of casement windows flanked by shutters.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Shiloh Baptist Church  is a historic Baptist church at 801 Sophia Street in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia. The church is a two-story brick building with predominantly Classical Revival styling, modeled to some degree after the Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg, with later alterations. The church was built in 1890 for a predominantly African-American congregation, whose origins lie in a mixed-race Baptist congregation founded in 1804. That congregation split about 1815, worshipping in a building at this site, and became known as the Shiloh Baptist Church with the construction of a new building here in the 1830s. In 1849 the large congregation again divided, with most of its white members leaving to form the Fredericksburg Baptist Church at Princess Anne and Amelia Streets. Services were discontinued during the American Civil War, and the existing building was damaged, in part due to abuse caused during military occupation of the city. It collapsed in 1886, and the present building was constructed in 1890 as its replacement. However, due to a schism in the congregation, two separate groups claimed the name "Shiloh Baptist", which was resolved by giving the one at this location the name "Shiloh Baptist Church ", which it still retains.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Maxcy Homestead stands in the rural village of South Union, on the east side of South Main Street nearly opposite its junction with Middle Road. The main block of the house is a fairly large -story wood-frame structure with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. It is nearly square, five bays wide and five bays deep, and has three facades, with center entrances on the north, west, and south sides. The main entrance is on the south-facing facade, and features Doric pilasters flanking the door, and a half-round transom window and gabled pediment above. This treatment closely resembles Plate 40 of William Pain&#39;s 1795 The Practical House Carpenter. The interior of the house as virtually intact period woodwork, include fine carvings in all of the downstairs rooms, and slightly less ornate finishes in the upstairs bedrooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1802 for Joseph Maxcy, who had moved to the area in 1788 from Attleboro, Massachusetts, as part of a second wave of settlement in the town. The builder was Ebenezer Alden, whose most famous area work was General Henry Knox&#39;s Montpelier mansion in Thomaston (destroyed and since reconstructed as a museum). It is probable that Alden used the same carving tools for this house as he did for Montpelier and his own house, built in 1797. Both houses have similar stylistic touches.</p><br>

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 Poultney was settled in 1771, and by 1800 had developed two distinct village centers. Poultney village is the western of the two, and eventually came to dominate economically over the original town center at East Poultney. Its Main Street was laid out oriented east-west, inside an arcing bend in the Poultney River. The principal intersection was first made with the stagecoach route between Burlington and Albany, New York, at Beaman Street (Vermont Route 31 heading north) and Grove Street (Vermont Route 30, heading south). The village&#39;s importance as a transit stop was further cemented by the arrival of the Rutland and Washington Railroad, which paralleled the stage route to the west, and the development of the slate quarrying industry. The slate industry survived until the Great Depression of the 1930s. The result of this development history is an architecturally diverse Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Main Street, a broad boulevard, from College Avenue in the west to St. Raphaels Catholic Church, east of Route 30, to the east. In addition, it includes properties adjacent to the railroad tracks on Depot, Church, and Knapp Streets, and extends a short distance on Beaman and Grove Streets. Most of the buildings one or two stories in height, with the commercial buildings general two story brick buildings with commercial Italianate styling. The western section is mainly residential, set between the railroad tracks and the campus of Green Mountain College, while the commercial and civic area extends from the railroad tracks east. The majority of the districts buildings are either Italianate or Colonial Revival in style, although there are examples of Greek Revival, Queen Anne, and American Craftsman architecture as well.</p><br>

<p>The Russellville, Arkansas Missouri Pacific Depot is a historic passenger railroad station located just north of the intersection of South Denver Avenue and West C Street. It is a long rectangular single-story masonry building, finished in brick and stucco and covered by a hip roof with supporting Italianate brackets, designed in a Mediterranean style that was popular when it was built. At both ends, the roof extends beyond the structure to form a sheltered porch supported by square brick columns. A telegraphers booth projects from the buildings north  side. An open breezeway separates the passenger and express freight sections of the depot. Three brick chimneys rise through the ridge line, two above the passenger section to the east and one above the freight section to the</p><br>
<p>west. Completed in February 1917, it is typical of many railroad depots of that period; its original tile roof has been replaced by composition shingles.</p><br>

He is posed, pocket watch in hand, calling any last passengers to hop aboard. Although his watch does not tell hours and minutes, it indeed shows the passing of time and once would have told many weary travelers where they would be headed next. Mr. Conductor has become a local personality, often photographed, decorated, and honored.</p><br>
