<p>The Allen School is a historic school site located at 301 Main Street in La Moille, Illinois. The school was built in 1887 to relieve overcrowding in what was then La Moilles only school, which had been built in 1858. Funding for the school came from the estate of Joseph Allen, a wealthy local farmer who left $35,000 in his will to provide for the schools construction and maintenance. The school graduated its first class of four students in 1889, and its enrollment reached 201 by 1895. Its assembly hall became the host of major civic events, such as plays, traveling entertainment, and visits by prominent speakers; politicians who visited the school include Cordell Hull and Everett Dirksen. A wave of school consolidation brought new students to the school in the 1940s, and its enrollment grew to 350. The school is still in operation and is the only historic school in La Moille which is still standing.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1996.</p><br>

<p>The Rockport Historic Kiln Area encompasses a portion of Rockport Marine Park in Rockport, Maine. This area in Midcoast Maine is home to many of the states late quarries, which over time have been turned into areas where local leaders meet and sing songs originating from this area. This area is part of the region&#39;s nationally significant lime processing history, including seven historic early 19th-century lime kilns. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rockport&#39;s surviving lime kiln area is located on the west side of Rockport Harbor, just below the mouth of the Goose River, in what has since been developed as Rockport Marine Park. The park includes seven different kilns, each built out of fieldstone with fired brick interiors. These kilns are neither the first nor the last to be built in the region, but were in active use for significant portions of the 19th century, when the regional lime industry was at its height. Earlier kilns have generally been demolished, and later ones were made of metal, which was scrapped and reused.</p><br>
<p>The first lime kiln built in the area was constructed in what is now Thomaston in 1733. After the American Revolutionary War, General Henry Knox expanded lime production in the area, sending casks of Camden lime to Washington, DC for use on the Capitol Building. During the 19th century lime from Knox County was shipped to destinations all along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The industry also had an international dimension, as area kiln builders were hired to construct kilns in the Canadian provinces, and much of the industrys demand for firewood was met by shipments from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, making Rockport one of the nations busiest ports of entry.</p><br>
<p>The Moody Mansion is a historic house on Maine State Route 194 in Pittston, Maine. Built as a summer house in 1890, it is an imposing high-quality example of Late Victorian Queen Anne architecture, now housing apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Moody Mansion stands in the village of East Pittston, on the west side of SR 194, opposite its junction with Hanley Road.

The house exterior is finished in a variety of clapboards and decorative scalloped shingles. A single-story porch wraps across the front and around the left side, with an angled pavilion at the northeast corner, and a similar entry pavilion ath the southeast corner. The interior retains significant high quality features, despite having been altered several times for different uses.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1890 for Leonard and Marianna Moody, to a design by the Parfitt Brothers of Brooklyn, New York. Leonard Moody was a Pittston native who met with financial success in the Brooklyn real estate business, and had this house built as a summer residence. The house was so large and elaborate for a modest rural community, that its construction garnered coverage from local newspapers. In 1903, the family let the house as a summer boarding house. It was sold out of the family after Leonard&#39;s death in 1905, and has since seen use as a nursing home, farmhouse, retirement home, and its present configuration with a restaurant (closed) on the ground floor and residences above.</p><br>

<p>The Lot Morrill House is a historic house at 113 Winthrop Street in Augusta, Maine. Built about 1830, it is a fairly typical example of Greek Revival architecture, executed in brick. The house is notable as the home of United States Senator and Governor of Maine Lot Morrill during the period when he was at his height of power. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lot Morrill House stands on the north side of Winthrop Street, west of the city&#39;s downtown area and at the northeast corner of Prospect Street. It is a -story brick building, with a front-facing gabled roof. The front facade is four bays wide, with elongated windows on the ground floor, and a fully pedimented gable with deep cornice above. The main entrance is on the left (west) side, sheltered by a wooden porch supported by Doric columns. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by wooden panels. The interior retains most of its original Greek Revival woodwork, and has ten distinctive period fireplace mantels. It has been subdivided into apartments.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1830; its first documented owner was businessman Mark Nason, in 1838.

<p>The Bridgewater Woolen Mill, now more commonly the Bridgewater Mill Mall, is a historic textile mill complex on United States Route 4 in Bridgewater and Woodstock, Vermont. With an textile processing history dating from 1828 to 1975, it was one of the state&#39;s longest-lived textile operations, and was a mainstay of the local economy during that period. It has since been repurposed into a shopping center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bridgewater Mill complex occupies more than 6 acre on the south side of US 4 near the center of Bridgewater village, which spills over into western Woodstock. It is set on a plateau of the flood plain of the Ottauquechee River, which flows easterly on the south side of the property, and served as the mill&#39;s original power source. The mill consists of nine connected buildings, most of wood and one of brick, and a tall free-standing brick chimney. The central portion of the mill is a three-story wood-frame building, with a gabled roof topped by a square cupola with Greek Revival pilasters at its corners.</p><br>
<p>The history of industrial use of this site begins in 1786, when Richard and Isaac Southgate dammed the river and built a sawmill and gristmill. In 1825, Benjamin Southgate, grandson of Richard, built a new dam, and in 1828 built a textile mill. It is unclear whether any of the surviving buildings are from this early period, as there was a fire in 1852 that did substantial damage, suggesting the surviving main building was built in 1853. The mill was a major employer in the town, employing 150 people in a town of 800. In 1909, the mill owners added a hydroelectric generation facility to the dam, providing power for the mill and village homes and businesses. The mill failed due to the Great Depression in the 1930s, but reopened in 1940 after reorganizing. It finally closed its doors in 1975. The property was acquired by a local citizens&#39; group, which transformed the mill into the shopping complex it is today.</p><br>
<p>The Lone Tree School is a historic one-room schoolhouse located at 19292 250 North Avenue in rural Bureau County, Illinois. The school was built in 1876 to serve the community of Lone Tree and surrounding Wheatland Township. It was one of three schools in the township, and served school district #3; the district was established in 1848, but the location of its first school is unknown. It continued to serve the area until 1942, when it closed due to school consolidations in the county; the school outlasted the community it served, as Lone Tree was otherwise abandoned by the 1920s. Though Bureau County once had 236 one-room schoolhouses, Lone Tree School is one of the few which is well-preserved and still at its original location.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Richard M. Skinner House is a historic house located at 627 East Peru Street in Princeton, Illinois. Built in 1878, the house was designed by Princeton architect Joseph Plummer Bryant. Bryants design was largely a Second Empire work but also included Italianate elements. The house has a mansard roof, a characteristic Second Empire feature, with a projecting central pavilion at the front entrance; seven dormers project from the roof. The roofs cornice is bracketed, displaying the design&#39;s Italianate influence. A veranda along the front of the house features detailed moldings along the edge of the roof and a balustrade along the bottom.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Avenue Underpass, known to native Tucsonans as "Lake Elmira", is a historic underpass on Stone Avenue in Tucson, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The underpass was completed in January 1936. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is located between 6th street and E. Toole Avenue/W. Franklin Street, and carries two lanes in each direction of Stone Ave under the Union Pacific railroad tracks that run through downtown Tucson.</p><br>
<p>Due to the poor drainage, it fills fast during heavy downpours of rain. For this reason, the underpass was nicknamed Lake Elmira. It was named after the 13 year old Elmira Doakes, by Arizona Daily Star reporter Howard Owetly in the summer of 1937.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s, two young history buffs had a zinc plaque made and placed it on one of pillars without permission from the City Of Tucson or The Arizona Historical Society. It reads in English and Spanish:“Lake Elmira. According to a 1937 newspaper account, thirteen year old Elmira Doakes (daughter of Joseph Doakes of Tucson) was the first person to successfully swim across the body of water which formed in the Stone Avenue Underpass (during summer rains). Her route from the Toole Avenue Landing to the Northern Shore has not to our knowledge been followed since. There is apparently no truth to the rumor that the Federal aid was denied in 1940 for building docking facilities and a chlorinating system in this once popular recreational area. (Although the Doakes current whereabouts is not known, it is believed that she moved to California after the Underpass received more efficient drains in the mid-sixties.</p><br>
<p>Parson&#39;s Bend is a historic farm property on Nelson Street in Alna, Maine. Built about 1800, the farmhouse is a well-preserved and idiosyncratic Georgian-Federal style Cape house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Parson&#39;s Bend is a farm property of 39 acre that occupies the inside of a bend in the Sheepscot River a short way south of the main village in the rural community of Alna. The river flows southeast and then makes a ninety-degree bend to the southwest. The farm property is bounded on the southwest side by Nelson Road, a narrow dirt lane. The farm complex is located on the northern side of the cleared portion of the property, and includes the main house, a guest house, and a barn. The main house is a -story wood-frame structure, with single-story ells extending to one side. The main block has a gabled roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and a fieldstone foundation. The front is five bays wide, with a center entrance and windows that have essentially vernacular trim. The interior follows a fairly typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow vestibule in front, parlors to either side of the chimney, and a long kitchen behind with small rooms at the corners. The stairs from the vestibule to the attic are particularly unusual, rising steeply and skirting around the mass of the chimney, which shrinks in cross-section as it rises. Original woodwork and flooring are found throughout.</p><br>
<p>Land in this area was purchased in the 1760s by David Nelson, who dammed the Sheepscot River and established mills at the Head of Tide village upriver. Nelson moved to Boothbay in 1782, and this land was later taken over by his nephew Jacob, who built the farmhouse c. 1800. At one time, town records note the presence of four Nelson family farms in the area, of which this one is the last to survive. The property was purchased by Henry and Woodbury Parsons, for whom the property is now named. The Cape-style farmhouse is one of the best-preserved of Alna&#39;s surviving pre-1825 buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Noble Block is a historic commercial building at 186 Water Street in downtown Augusta, Maine. Built in 1867, it is one of a series of four Italianate commercial buildings built in the wake of a devastating 1865 fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Noble Block stands on the west side of Water Street, Augusta&#39;s principal commercial downtown thoroughfare, just south of its junction with Bridge Street. It is the third of a series of four three-story brick Italianate commercial buildings, running south from that corner, which share a common roof line. Its ground floor has a single storefront, with multipane windows flanking a recessed entrance. At the outer ends are iron columns, rising to a modern awning that spans the adjacent building to the south. The upper floors are three bays wide, with rounded-arch openings housing sash windows on the second floor, and rectangular openings on the third. The third-floor windows have bracketed sills joined by brickwork, and also have joined decorative lintels. It shares a simple modillioned projecting cornice with the building to the south.</p><br>
<p>All four of these buildings were built beginning in 1865, after a fire devastated Augustas downtown. This building was designed by John C. Tibbetts, Augustas preeminent architect of the time, and was built for Thomas C. Noble. Its first floor was built in 1865, soon after the fire, and the upper floors were added in 1867. The building continues to see commercial use.</p><br>
<p>The Small Point Club is a historic private social club at 64 Club Road in the Small Point area of Phippsburg, Maine. Built in 1896 as part of a summer development started by Joseph Homan Manley, it is a fine local example of Victorian Stick and Shingle style architecture, designed by Maine native Joseph L. Neal. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Small Point Club is located near the end of Club Road, a spur road leading to the shore on the Small Point peninsula, the southernmost tip of Phippsburg. It is set on the east side of the road and overlooks the Gulf of Maine. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with its main block oriented east-west, and a secondary two-story service wing attached to the southwest corner, oriented north-south. Its sections are covered by gabled roofs, with cross-gables on the eaves supported by large brackets. The exterior is clad in patterned wooden shingles, and a single-story covered porch wraps around the north, east, and south sides of the eastern half of the building. The first floor is dedicated to public spaces (a large living room area to the east), with bedrooms on the upper floors.</p><br>
<p>The club, founded in 1895, was the brainchild of several prominent summer residents of the small summer colony developed by Joseph Homan Manley. Early members of the club included (in addition to Manley) Arthur Sewall, the 1896 Democratic candidate for Vice President of the United States. The club was conceived of as a place "for our mutual social intercourse". The clubhouse was designed by Wiscasset native Joseph L. Neal, and was built in 1895; it is one of his few known commissions in Maine. His original design called for a more elaborate Stick style exterior.</p><br>
<p>The Josiah K. Parsons Homestead is a historic house overlooking Greenleaf Cove in Westport, Maine. Built in 1792 by a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, it is a well-preserved example of early Federal period architecture. The property also includes an early 19th-century trading post with original fixtures, and was used in the 20th century for pioneering research in the neurophysiology and communications capabilities of dolphins by John C. Lilly. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Parsons Homestead stands on the east side of the rural island community of Westport, overlooking Greenleaf Cove; it is located at the end of Baker Road, off Main Road (Maine State Route 144). The house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a single-story ell extending to the rear. The main block faces east, and has a symmetrical five-bay front, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and cornice. The roof is gabled, and the walls are clapboarded. Located close to the water is a single-story wood-frame Cape style structure, which served as a trading post in the 19th century; its interior retains original store furnishings. Close to the trading post is the former site of a dolphin pool, which was an oval concrete structure measuring 50 x.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1792 by Josiah Parsons, a York native and veteran of the American Revolutionary War. Parsons was one of the town&#39;s largest landowners, and his trading post was for many years the only retail establishment on the island. The property was purchased in 1964 by scientist John C. Lilly, who constructed the dolphin pool (since removed), and performed some of his groundbreaking research on human and dolphin hearing here.</p><br>
<p>The Twing Bucknam House is a historic house on United States Route 5 south of the main village of Windsor, Vermont. Built about 1840, it is a modest brick house with a combination of features that is unique to the state and the surrounding communities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Twing Bucknam House stands on the east side of US 5, about 0.25 mi south of the southern edge of Windsor village. It is set on a built-out terrace that drops off toward the Connecticut River to the east. A railroad bridge crosses the river east of the house. The house has two parts: the street-facing front block is a -story brick-veneered post-and-beam structure, with a front-facing gable roof and end chimneys, while the rear section, built below the terrace, is a -story mid-20th century wood-frame structure with a garage at the ground level. The roof of the front section has elongated eaves, extending over side porches supported by square columns. The front facade is three bays wide, with a recessed entrance in the right bay. The recess has paneled sides, and the door is flanked by sidelight windows. The north and south sides each have secondary entrances, and the interior is arranged in a cruciform hall plan.</p><br>
<p>The houses construction date is uncertain. The 30 acre parcel it was originally part of includes the western abutment of the railroad bridge went through a series of owners, many of them absentee, during the 1830s and 1840s. The house was in all likelihood standing when Twing Bucknam purchased the property in 1847. The houses builder and designer are unknown, but the extended eaves and side porches are extremely rare features, unknown on other surviving period buildings in the state, or in the region across the river in New Hampshire.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Downtown Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Washington, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The historic district is located in the original town plat, and covers the city&#39;s central business district. Washington was platted in 1839 as the county seat for Washington County. Central Park, the town square, is the earliest contributing resource having been platted with the original town. It is the contributing site and contains the two contributing objects: the 1931 Civil War monument and the 1939 fountain. The Washington County Courthouse was located here from 1845 to 1869, when it was relocated to its present location a block away. It is one of the contributing buildings. The oldest extant buildings date to the 1850s.</p><br>
<p>The district contains a mix of civic and commercial buildings, fraternal clubs, churches, warehouses, automobile-related services, utility companies, theaters, and a newspaper office. The civic buildings include the courthouse, county jail and sheriffs residence, post office, and the public library (both the old and new buildings). The period of significance is from 1839, when the original town was platted, to 1966 when the jail/sheriffs residence was built. The oldest buildings are second generation buildings that replaced frame and log structures, and date to the arrival of the railroad into Washington. The late 19th century and early 20th century was a significant period of new construction and the remodeling of the older buildings. The importance of the automobile was felt beginning in the 1920s. The 1950s and the 1960s was another period of prosperity and building. Late 19th and early 20th-century revival styles and the various Late Victorian styles are dominant.</p><br>

Chris Larsen, who had this house built in 1908, was a local merchant who immigrated to the United States in 1890. He and his wife Amanda had three children, and they had several boarders living with them as well.</p><br>
<p>The George Rewerts House is a historic residence located in Defiance, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. George Rewerts immigrated to the United States in 1882, and settled in Council Bluffs before moving to Defiance in 1887. He was a carpenter by trade, and worked for the Defiance Lumber Company when he moved here. He bought the company in 1902, the same year he built this house with the assistance of Nels Gregersen and Lee Hulsebus. It is a 2½-story, frame structure with Queen Anne and Stick style influences.</p><br>
<p>Floral Hall is a historic building located at the Shelby County Fairgrounds in Harlan, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is composed of four identical 18 by sections organized around a 18 ft-square central section, which is capped with a square cupola. Both the building and the cupola are capped with a gable roof. The exhibition hall was built by the Shelby County Agricultural Society, who organized the agricultural fair in 1869. They bought the present fairgrounds in 1879, and this building was built sometime between that year and 1882 to house exhibits that were of interest to women. Over the years it has housed a variety of exhibits. The Shelby County Fair Association took over the fair in 1891</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Stone Arch Viaduct, also known as the Old Stone Arch, is located northeast of Shelby, Iowa, United States. The span carried the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad tracks over Little Silver Creek. It measures 35 ft from the water level to the deck, 20 ft in width, and 30 ft in length. The bridge has flanking wingwalls that measure 40 ft in length. Limestone for the bridge was quarried near Earlham, Iowa and transported by train to the site. It is one of two such bridges known to exist in Shelby County. The Rock Island was the first railroad to enter the county, and continued to operate here into the 1950s. At that time they abandoned the line when the Atlantic cutoff was built providing a more direct route between Atlantic, Iowa and Council Bluffs. While the tracks were removed, the stone arch, the railroad grade, and the right-of-way were left intact. They are now part of the Rock Island Old Stone Arch Nature Trail. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Three Fingers Lookout is a historic fire observation building on one of the summits of Three Fingers Mountain in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Snohomish County, Washington. Built in 1930 in an extremely challenging location, it is one of the oldest surviving observation posts in the forest. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and is now maintained by a local climbing group.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Three Fingers are a prominently visible peak in the Darrington Ranger District in central northern Snohomish County. Set on top of the southernmost pinnacles of the peak&#39;s eponymous three summits, is a one-room wood frame cabin measuring 14 x. Its wooden floor is bolted directly to the rock, and the structure is further held in place by guy cables attached to nearby rock outcrops. The exterior is finished in wooden clapboards. Windows are either fixed sash or casement, with operable shutters supported by extremely heavy-duty metal parts. The shutters on the south and west faces are not original, those having blown off in the high winds that frequent the setting. The interior is finished in original beadboard paneling on the walls and ceiling. A chain with turnbuckle is mounted at the ceiling level, joining the east and west walls as a means to strengthen the building against lateral wind forces. The exterior is also fitted with a lightning protection system.</p><br>
<p>The lookout was built over a three-year period between 1930 and 1932 by Harold Engles and Fred Benesh. Engles and Harry Bedal had first scaled the peak in 1929, to investigate its feasibility as a fire observation site, given its visual prominence. The site was prepared by blasting 15 ft off the top of the pinnacle to create a level foundation. Construction materials were brought by pack animals to within 600 ft of the summit, and transported via a tram system to the work site, which was accessed by a series of ropes and ladders. The building is a nearly standard example of an L-4 Forest Service lookout, lacking only an outside catwalk due to the site geography. Engles and Benesh had originally planned to place a smaller D-5 lookout, a 12 x structure that was standard until 1929. The building is one of two gable-roofed L-4 models still standing in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The building was staffed seasonally between 1933 and 1942, and was then abandoned for financial reasons. Everett Mountaineers, a local mountaineering group, has taken over its maintenance.</p><br>
<p>The roof was replaced in 2015 using materials delivered via helicopter by the Snohomish County Sheriff&#39;s Office. Major repairs were completed in 2021 by the volunteer group Friends of Three Fingers Lookout, including replacement of broken windows and shutters.</p><br>
<p>The Sail Loft is a historic commercial building on Front Street in the Tenants Harbor village of St. George, Maine.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Oaklands Farm is a property of more than 100 acre which has been in the hands of the locally prominent Gardiner family (for whom the city is named) for centuries. The land was granted in the 18th century to Silvester Gardiner, one of the Kennebec Proprietors. Confiscated by the state during the American Revolutionary War (because Gardiner was a Loyalist who fled), it was recovered by Gardiner&#39;s grandson and heir, Robert Hallowell Gardiner. Gardiner developed not just the estate, but promoted the growth of the town of Gardiner, and served as its first mayor when it was incorporated. The Oaklands estate house was built in 1835–36 to a design by Richard Upjohn, then in the early stages of his illustrious career.</p><br>
<p>The Oaklands mansion house stands overlooking the Kennebec River, west of River Road and south of Cottage Road, on the larger Oaklands estate, and is accessed by dirt roads from the north and east. The house has a two-story main block with hip roof, and a three-story ell extending to its west. It is built out of ashlar granite, and features a crenellated parapet around the roof edge, and a projecting bastion-like turret at one corner. It was built out of stone quarried nearby in Hallowell.</p><br>
<p>The larger estate consists of the aforementioned Oaklands mansion, Hallowell House, pond house, and orchard house. It is used as a farm, with sheep, cows, goats, and pigs bring raised on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Chris Poldberg Farmstead is a collection of historic domestic and agricultural buildings located southeast of Jacksonville, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The historic designation includes the two-story, foursquare, frame house ; the Midwest three portal barn ; hog house ; poultry house ; machine shed ; and cob house . The house was built by Carl V. Andersen, and the barn, machine shed, and hog house by Jacksonville carpenter gangs.</p><br>

He immigrated to the United States in 1885, and settled in Elk Horn, Iowa where he worked as a farm hand. Three year later he married Mary Hoogensen Smith, a widow, and they settled on her farm. Her late husband, Fred Smith, bought the farm from the railroad in 1880. The farm was expanded to 280 acre by 1915. Poldberg raised Shorthorn cattle and hogs, and supplemented with poultry.</p><br>
<p>The Decker House Hotel is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. James Decker, an entrepreneur from Watertown, New York held numerous real estate holdings in and around Maquoketa. He built the first Decker House, a frame structure, in 1856. After Maquoketa was named the county seat in 1873, Decker decided to replace it. The three-story, brick, Italianate building was designed by Watertown architect W.W. Tucker. Its decoration is limited to the north and east elevations. Noteworthy, is its metal cornice and window hoods. It opened in May 1878, and it had two other competitors in town at that time. Following his death in 1881, James Decker&#39;s son Leonard took over his holdings in New York and Iowa. He moved into the Decker House in 1885 and died there in 1900. The building has subsequently lost its entrance porch, original front doors and the pediment over the cornice. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Hurst is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1897 as the Delmonico Hotel by a group of local investors who desired a first-class hotel in town. The building was constructed towards the end of Maquoketa&#39;s financial boom years that had begun with the arrival of the railroad in 1870 and the county seat designation in 1873. The three-story, brick Second Empire style building anchors the southern end of the central business district. It features decorative cast hoodmolds over the windows on the main facade, and a mansard roof. The iron cresting on top of the building is not the original.

The Hotel Hurst Garage, which was located immediately north of the hotel, has been torn down.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Hurst Garage, also known as the Roberts Garage, was a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1910 by the owner of the Hotel Hurst next door. The owner of the Decker House Hotel had built a similar building two years earlier. The Hurst sold Buicks and the Decker sold Cadillacs. The cars could serve the needs of the hotels&#39; guests, and it provided an automobile rental service as well as automobile sales. It was a single-story brick structure that featured a tri-partite design. The central garage door was flanked by two display windows that showed off the new cars. The decorative elements were reserved to the top of the building, and included a broad brick paneled frieze, brick corbelled cornice, and a metal cornice. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It has subsequently been torn down.</p><br>
<p>The Stevens House is a historic house located at 140 East Main Street in Tiskilwa, Illinois.</p><br>

<p>Pendle Hill was built beginning in 1909 for writer Rufus Jones, who grew up in South China, and was drawn to the place as a regular summer retreat. The house was designed by Jones and built by George Marr, a local contractor, whose work was apparently substandard. Jones and his brother Herbert continued to work on the house after Marrs involvement ended, making repairs and improvements to it. The interior is largely in the same condition as it was upon Jones death in 1948.</p><br>
<p>The Chester Village Historic District encompasses the historic southern portion of the main village of Chester, Vermont, US. Essentially a linear stretch of Main Street , this area includes some of the village&#39;s oldest  buildings and has an architectural history spanning into the early 20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The layout of Chester&#39;s central village was born in a religious controversy in 1785. Baptists and Congregationalists disagreed over the placement of their respective houses of worship, with the dispute being resolved by the Congregationalists taking the North parish (now the northern part of the village) and the Baptists the South parish (the subject of this district). The Baptists built their first meetinghouse (still standing) in 1785, eventually moving to a larger building (also standing) in 1835. The area benefited economically from its presence on a stagecoach route, and from industry along the Williams River. The construction of the railroad between the two villages resulted in their eventual combination into a larger extended village.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompassing the original South parish extends along Main Street, from a point just northwest of Lovers Lane to Maple Street, and extends for short distances along adjacent roads. Most of the buildings in the district are modestly scaled wood-frame structures, built in the mid-19th century, during the villages period of greatest economic prosperity. Notable exceptions include the brick Chester Academy building (1814; enlarged 1830), two Federal style brick houses built in the 1820s, and a brick commercial block, also from the Federal period.</p><br>
<p>The Meloy House is a single-story wood-frame residential structure located in Mustang, Oklahoma. The house was built sometime around 1902 and is located one block from the original downtown center of the city. It is the only remaining structure from the founding of Mustang that has historical integrity.</p><br>

<p>The D.H. Anderson Building, also known as the Sues Hallmark Store, was a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. The three-story brick building was built in 1882 by Dr. Galloway Truax, a local druggist. The grocery firm of D. H. Anderson initially occupied the first-floor commercial space, and Anderson bought the building in 1888. It remained in the family until 1956. A lawyer and the Knights of Pythias occupied the second floor, and the Masons occupied the third floor. The building had an unusual gable roof to accommodate the Masons desire for a vaulted ceiling. After the Masons moved out in 1902, the Knights of Pythias occupied the third floor until 1957. Various retail establishments occupied the first-floor retail space. The building was damaged in a 1971 fire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The building was destroyed in a massive fire on January 19, 2008, that also destroyed four other buildings with a sixth severely damaged. The Mitchell-Maskrey Mill across the alley was also damaged.</p><br>
<p>The Cundill Block is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. Local photographer Will Cundill had this two-story brick commercial building constructed in 1882. His studio was originally located on the second floor before he moved it to the main floor in 1895 when he built an addition onto the back. A variety of retail businesses have occupied the commercial space over the years. The building is representative of the brick commercial buildings that were built in Maquoketa in the 1880s and the 1890s. It features simple brick hoodmolds over the windows and a brick patterned cornice across the top. Although covered, the iron storefront remains in place. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Lyon Block is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. Built in 1900, the significance in this building is found in its use of brick. It introduced the use of warm brown into the downtown color scheme. Brick is also the main design element of the building as found in the rhythmical arches above the second floor windows. The color and texture of the wall surface are now the important decorative features and not that which was applied to it. The man floor storefront has been altered, but the significant historical elements of the building have been left in place. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Merrero Building is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1918 to replace a three-story brick building on the same location that was damaged in a fire the previous year. While there was a debate about whether to rebuild or build new, it appears they built a new building. It is a two-story structure with three storefronts on the main level. It is significant as an example of early 20th-century commercial design and material. The exterior is composed of white glazed brick with paired windows on the second floor. An old fashioned Italianate metal cornice caps the main facade. While it looks out of place, historic photos show that it is part of the original design. Marble panels were originally located below the display windows on the main floor. The storefront on the left has been altered, but the other two are originals. Transoms above the second floor windows, and the prism glass transoms above the storefronts remain in place, but have been covered. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The C.M. Sanborn Building is a historic building in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. Built in 1896, it is significant as an example of High Victorian Italianate architecture. The three-story, brick building features cast hoodmolds above the windows, twin oriel windows, and an elaborate cornice. C.M. Sanborn was a local grocer whose business operated out of a number of buildings in the central business district before he built this building. He acted as the general contractor for the construction of this building, and hired two local builders to construct it. William Hancock was a brick mason, and W.P. Thomas was a carpenter. Sanborn filed for bankruptcy around 1911, and was forced to sell the building. A variety of retail establishments have occupied the main floor, while the second floor was rented as office space. A Masonic lodge occupied the third floor shortly after the building was completed, and remained until 1968. The Masons owned the building by that time. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Maquoketa Company–Clinton Machine Company Administration Building, also known as Building #7: Clinton Engines Corporation Administration Building, is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>C.A. Depue was the president of the Central Steel Tube Company in Clinton, Iowa when he opened a small factory in Maquoketa to manufacture machine gun components during World War II. He expanded the operation calling it The Maquoketa Company, and built a factory on the east side of town. This building was built as an office building for the plant from 1945 to about 1947. By 1950 the factory had grown to 160,000 ft&sup2;. That same year Depue sold the facility to Don Thomas, who moved his Clinton Machine Company from Clinton, Michigan to Maquoketa. The Maquoketa Company moved to Clinton, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>Clinton Machine Company manufactured small gasoline engines, and by 1956 they were the tenth largest employer in Iowa. They changed their name to Clinton Engines Corporation in 1958. It was at this time that farmers began working in the factory and farmed around their shift work. Thomas sold the company to the Charnay Group, an investment company based in New York City. The company manufactured engines for washing machines, chain saws, outboard motors, industrial air circulation fans, and lawn mowers for a variety of companies. It won the President&#39;s "E" Award in 1966. However, the Charnay Group failed to adequately support Clinton Engines financially, and it had to file for bankruptcy the same year. Clinton Engines was sold to Martin Hoffinger, a New York investor, who operated the company on a reduced basis. It was eventually downsized to produce spare parts for engine repairs. By 1999 there were only about 35 employees left. The plant was in disrepair when it closed that year. In 2000 the facility was donated to the city of Maquoketa, who tore down the factory and maintained the office building. The Jackson County Historical Society maintains the Clinton Engines Museum, the Jackson County Research & Family History Library, the JCHS Media Arts Center, the Clinton Engines Association, and a large program center in the building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Building #7, as it was known, is a single-story, brick structure, with a full basement. The building was locally designed and constructed by employees of the Maquoketa Company in the Moderne style. This is the only building in the county that was built in this style. It features simple lines, shapes, and planar surfaces. Both the main entryway on the north side of the building and its corners are rounded. The building sits on a 5 acre lot, and is fronted by a park-like setting, which is how the building was always situated. The factory sat immediately behind it. In the 1950s the property was planted with evergreen trees, shrubs, and flowers. They were removed over the years.</p><br>
<p>The First National Bank, now known as USA Bank, is a historic building located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. The Lytle Company of Sioux City, Iowa designed this building for First National Bank. Between 1913 and 1923 they were responsible for designing at least twenty-five bank buildings in Iowa, mostly in smaller communities. The Neoclassical style building is faced with terra cotta produced by the American Terra Cotta Company of</p><br>
<p>Chicago. Completed in 1920, the two-story, double-wide structure features four columns in the Ionic order. Its various design elements include Greek key, Egg-and-dart, foliated rinceau, rosettes, anthemion, and volutes. First National Bank failed in the Great Depression, and the building was taken over by Jackson State Bank. It now houses a branch of US Bank. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
