<p>The Peter Kremer House is a historic house museum in Minnesota Lake, Minnesota, United States. The Minnesota Lake Historical Society operates the house as the Kremer House Library and Museum.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1902, the Queen Anne-style residence was the home of a French immigrant and his wife, Millie Zabel of Prussia, who both served as business and civic leaders in the community.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was originally owned by Peter Kremer and his wife, Millie. Peter Kremer, born in France, moved to the Danville Township and Minnesota Lake area in 1865. His family were some of the earliest settlers in the town with his brothers, Nicholas J., John, and John P., having arrived previously in 1956. He was instrumental in developing several local businesses, including a flour mill, stockyards, a cooperative creamery, and Security State Bank. Kremer also held the position of mayor for 30 years and served as town marshal and school treasurer.</p><br>
<p>Millie Zabel Kremer, born in Prussian Germany, married Peter Kremer in 1893. Following her early years in the mercantile business in Minnesota Lake, she managed their extensive property and Peter&#39;s business interests after his death in December 1913.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The interior features an open staircase, windows with curved and stained glass, a fireplace, and large pocket doors. The wood floors throughout the house are original. The main floor showcases chinaware used by the Kremers, while the master suite and additional rooms for guests, a maid, and a housekeeper are located upstairs. A steep stairway at the back served the family&#39;s hired help.</p><br>
<h2>Library and Museum</h2><br>
<p>The first floor of Kremer House serves as the Minnesota Lake Library, which is open to the public. The upstairs functions as a history center, with resources on local families. Exhibits within the museum rotate regularly, featuring various artifacts related to the history of Minnesota Lake.</p><br>
<p>On permanent exhibit is a one-tenth scale replica of a windmill built by Donald Kain, Godfried Schostags great-grandson and a centennial quilt, created in 1966 to commemorate 100 years since the towns renaming to Minnesota Lake.</p><br>
<p>Sac City Monument Square Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Sac City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Neoclassical General Sherman Hall was built by the local Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) post. Organized in 1884 as Sac City Post No. 284, its name was changed in 1891 to the General Sherman Post in honor of William Tecumseh Sherman, who had died earlier that year. In 1873 the present Sac County Courthouse was completed a half block north of the former courthouse to eliminate the turns around the city square. The local GAR acquired the half-block property that remained as Monument Square for a soldiers monument and a hall to honor General Sherman. The buildings served as a meeting hall for the General Sherman Post, the Womens Relief Corps, and Sons of Veterans. The soldier&#39;s monument was the work of New York sculptor Maurice J. Power.</p><br>
<p>The American Legion Cantigny Post No. 195 was organized in Sac City in 1919. They bought property that overlooked Monument Square for a meeting hall and memorial, and the Neoclassical structure was completed in 1922. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (V.F.W.) Post 590 of Sac City erected the three granite tablets to commemorate the local soldiers who served in the four 20th century conflicts. The larger tablet memorializes the soldiers from World War I and World War II. The two smaller tablets commemorate the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.</p><br>

<p>The Waterford Bridge, formerly designated Bridge L0327 and now Bridge L3275, is a historic steel truss bridge over the Cannon River in Waterford Township, Minnesota, United States. It was constructed in 1909 and is one of the states earliest surviving bridges to use rigid rather than pinned connections. Moreover, it is Minnesotas only known road bridge in which some of the rigid connections are fastened with bolts rather than rivets.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 for having state-level significance in the theme of engineering. It was nominated for being a rare surviving example of Minnesota&#39;s once-common camelback through truss bridges, and for its early and uniquely transitional rigid connections.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Waterford bridge is a single-span, eight-panel, camelback through truss. It measures 140 ft long with a 16 ft deck. The setting is rural, despite being just 2 mi northeast of Northfield, Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>The Waterford Bridge is one of the few remaining camelback through trusses in Minnesota. The others that are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places are the Gateway Trail Iron Bridge, the Dodd Ford Bridge, and the Long Meadow Bridge.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Waterford Bridge was constructed in 1909. It replaced a previous bridge of unknown date which had been there since at least 1879. The new bridge was designed by Dakota County engineer Charles A. Forbes and built by the Hennepin Bridge Company for $5,000. At the time most truss bridges were still being constructed with the structural members held together by pins. The builders of the Waterford Bridge opted for stronger rigid connections, even though this was not yet legally required except for state-funded projects. Unusually, though, many of these connections were made with bolts, a unique intermediate choice proceeding the transition to fully riveted bridges.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1980s the bridge was threatened by erosion and local citizens raised $40,000 to effect repairs. However, in 1991 the bridge was sufficiently deteriorated that it was closed to vehicular traffic and the road rerouted over a new bridge built nearby. In 2014 the southeast abutment was rebuilt again with a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. As of January 2014 the historic bridge carries a trail used by pedestrians, ATVs, and snowmobiles.</p><br>
<p>The Sac City Chicago and North Western Depot is a historic building located in Sac City, Iowa, United States. The city was platted in 1855, and soon after they began to campaign for a rail line into the town. It took 23 years before the railroad arrived. The Maple River Railroad was the first to lay tracks in Sac County in 1877, but it went to Wall Lake rather than Sac City. The Sac City & Wall Lake Railroad was formed that year and the tracks were laid between the two towns in 1878. The Chicago & North Western Railroad acquired the line in 1884, and built a two-story frame depot in Sac City. The business district grew up around the depot. In 1916 the Chicago & North Western replaced the frame depot with this single story brick depot a block to the south. It was a combination depot, passenger and freight, that utilized Chicago & North Western&#39;s Number One standard plan.</p><br>
<p>At one time there were eight passenger trains that stopped in Sac City. Passenger service was discontinued here in 1948. The depot was used by the railroad as a freight depot until 1971, when it was sold to Youll Plumbing. The railroad abandoned the tracks the following year. Youll sold the building in 1976, and it became The Depot Restaurant. In 2012 the restaurant closed and it now houses other retail establishments. The former depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Salisbury Town Hall is a historic municipal building at Maple and Prospect streets in Salisbury, Vermont. Built in 1869, it is a fine local example of Greek Revival architecture, and has served the rural community in a variety of ways: as town hall, library, and as educational facility. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Salisbury Town Hall stands in the rural village center of the town, at the southwest corner of Maple Run Road and Prospect Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and marble foundation. Its front facade is distinguished by its central entrance, which is set in a deep recess taking up the central portion of the three-bay facade. The building corners have pilasters rising to a broad entablature, with a fully pedimented gable above that has an oculus window at its center. The interior of the hall is reflective of a major early 20th-century renovation, which included adding a second story. The ground floor houses what was historically office space, with an auditorium on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1869 as a single-story building. The town had decided in 1857 to build one, but was delayed in building it by the American Civil War. It underwent a major renovation in 1908, at which time the roof was raised and the second story added, and most previous interior details were lost. It underwent further work in 1948, after it was damaged by fire. In the 1970s and 1980s the building housed the public library on the ground floor, with the auditorium space on the second floor used as a gymnasium by the local school.</p><br>
<p>The Southview Housing Historic District encompasses a collection of World War II-era residences on Stanley Road in Springfield, Vermont. They were built in 1942 to provided housing for workers producing militarily important materials, and have survived with remarkably little alteration since then. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Southview Housing district is located on the southern side of the town center of Springfield, between South Street and the Black River. Extending south from Stanley Street&#39;s junction with South Street are eighteen wood frame multi-unit residential buildings. Fifteen are two stories in height, with hip roofs and vinyl siding, while the other three are single-story buildings with novelty siding and gabled roofs. Most of the buildings on the west side of Stanley Street are arrayed perpendicular to the street, while those on the east side are arrayed parallel to it. Each building houses either three or four residences, most of which are two-story duplex style units.</p><br>
<p>The development was erected in 1942, after the federal government took the land (a farm at the time) by eminent domain. They were built to house workers at several of Springfield&#39;s precision machinery manufacturers, who were producing equipment critical to the production of military hardware. It was one of two such developments built by the government in Springfield; the other, called Westview, survives only in significantly altered form.</p><br>
<p>The George W. Tillery House is a historic mansion in Pulaski, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land was purchased by George W. Tillery, a carpenter from South Carolina, in 1838. He built the house in 1840. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. Tillery lived in the house until 1869.</p><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 5, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Kimball Public Library is the public library serving Randolph, Vermont. It is located at 67 Main Street, just north of the town center, in an architecturally distinguished building donated by Col. Robert Kimball, a Randolph native. Built in 1902, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kimball Public Library stands north of Randolph&#39;s commercial downtown, on the east side of Main Street, next door to the Chandler Music Hall. It is a single-story masonry structure, set on a sloping lot that exposes a full basement to the rear. The foundation is rusticated granite, and the main structure is faced in brick with sandstone trim. The building is capped by gabled roof with a dome at its center. The main facade is symmetrical, with a tall projecting gabled section at the center, sheltering the main entrance under a large Romanesque rounded arch. This section is flanked on either side by banks of three sash windows, each topped by stained-glass transoms. The interior retains many original features, including woodwork, brickwork, marble wainscoting, terrazzo marble flooring, and moulded finish elements.</p><br>
<p>The construction of this building was funded by Colonel Robert Kimball, who was born and raised in Randolph, and found financial success as a banker in New York City. Kimball maintained a summer residence in the town, and, like many philanthropists of the period, recognized the need for the town to have a dedicated space for its library collection. He agreed to fund this building&#39;s construction, on land provided by the town. It was designed by Henry M. Francis & Sons of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and was completed in 1902.</p><br>
<p>The Salisbury Fish Hatchery is a state-operated fish hatchery on Vermont Route 53 in Salisbury, Vermont. Established in 1931, it produces broodstock trout for distribution to the other hatcheries in the state. Its facilities were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The facility may be toured by arrangement, but there is no visitors center.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Salisbury Fish Hatchery is located on both sides of Vermont Route 53, about 0.5 mi east of its junction with United States Route 7. The facility takes up more than 68 acre, although the improved area is relatively modest. Most of the production complex is located on the south side of the highway, with a long and narrow wood-frame structure covering a concrete raceway in which some rearing takes place. The main complex includes a residence and the main hatchery building, which houses a series of troughs in which breeding occurs. The entire complex is fed by a series of freshwater springs and an aquifer, a critical element in the decision to locate the hatchery here. The breeding operating is highly dependent on a continuous supply of fresh water.</p><br>
<p>The hatchery was established in 1931, and was the first not located near a railroad, previously the method by which the states other hatcheries delivered their stock to its destinations. Designed by Walker and Walker of Montpelier, the hatchery buildings are more architecturally distinctive than earlier hatcheries, with a number of Craftsman touches. It was established due to a documented decline in the number of fish in the states waterways, primarily the result of sport fishing. In the 1950s, the facility was expanded by the addition of a feed storage building, and in the 1960s concrete raceways were added. The breeding and rearing facility north of the road houses an unusual light-managed environment to facilitate continuous propagation of fish.</p><br>
<p>The Spaulding Bridge is a historic Parker pony truss bridge carrying Mill Street across the Black River in Cavendish, Vermont. Built in 1905, it is one of the state&#39;s few surviving examples of a metal truss bridge built before state aid and standardization of bridge types became widespread in Vermont. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Spaulding Bridge is located just south of the village center of Cavendish, carrying Mill Street toward points south of the village. It is a single-span Parker pony truss, 98 ft in length, with a width of 16 ft. A sidewalk is carried by outriggers from the main bridge stringers on one side. It is built out of I-beams, plates, and flanges, connected by pins. The trusses are set on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built for the town in 1905 by Henry Norton, and was dedicated to Gilbert and Olive Spaulding. It is one of a small number of surviving pin-connected truss bridges in the state; this style of construction was already falling out of fashion when this bridge was built, replaced by field riveting. The bridge underwent a major restoration in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The J.W. Burnham House is a historic house near Haynesville, Louisiana. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 22, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1890 and was modified in about 1900 to add elements of Queen Anne architecture. The modifications included enlarging the attic, adding two octagonal corner towers, and adding a wraparound porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was further modified in 1935, in the 1940s and in 1985. It was once the center of a complex including a "Burnham, Louisiana" post office, a saw mill, and more.</p><br>
<p>The Copeland-Whitfield House is a historic mansion in Pulaski, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built as a log house in the 1830s for Copeland Whitfield, a settler and slaveholder from Virginia. Whitfield lived in the house with his first wife, Susan Harwell, and later with his second wife, Nancy Adell Butler. By 1847, the house was redesigned in the Greek Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Whitfield was hanged by members of the Union Army, but he survived. After his 1891 death, his widow lived in the house until 1904. Their son, Copeland George Whitfield, lived in the house with his wife, Ella May Cardin, until his death in 1946; his widow lived here until 1980. It was inherited by members of the same family.</p><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 7, 1988.</p><br>

<p>In 1867, it was passed on to Laird&#39;s daughter and her husband, James Knox Polk Blackburn. It was subsequently inherited by their son, Dr. James K. P. Blackburn. By the 1990s, the house belonged to James T. Blackburn IV. In 2002, it was purchased by Donald Rouleau.</p><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 7, 1995. It has a Civil War museum open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The Holmes Street Bridge, also known the Holmes Street Pedestrian Bridge, Old Shakopee Bridge, or Bridge 4175, is a historic truss bridge over the Minnesota River in Shakopee, Minnesota, United States. It is one of the state&#39;s only examples of a deck truss bridge. It was constructed in 1927 with parts manufactured by the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery Company. The bridge formerly carried US 169 and MN 101, and served as the principal river crossing for Shakopee. The Holmes Street Bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 2005. It was rehabilitated in 2011 to carry a trail for pedestrians, cross-country skiers, and snowmobiles.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Holmes Street Bridge is 645 ft long and 42.4 ft wide. The bridge has four spans over the river and two approach spans over land on either end. The load-bearing structure consists of three parallel Warren trusses, an unusual configuration as two parallel trusses were the norm. Neoclassical elements appear on the bridge piers, abutments, and parapet railings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was built to carry Minnesota State Highway 5, locally known within Shakopee as Holmes Street. The route was later redesignated USA Route 169/State Highway 101. In 2009 a new bridge was built a block to the east to carry the highways.</p><br>
<p>A study from 1985 had identified only 10 deck truss bridges built in Minnesota before 1946. The Holmes Street Bridge is the only road bridge of that number still standing.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 for its state-level significance in the theme of engineering. It was nominated for its rare design type and its fabrication by an important Minnesota bridge manufacturer.</p><br>

<p>The Barnes Building, originally known as the Odd Fellows Block, the Masonic Temple from 1909 to 1915, and later Ingram Hall, is a historic fraternal and office building located at 2320-2322 1st Avenue in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Designed in early 1889 and constructed in late 1890 by Seattle Lodge No. 7 of the International Order of Odd Fellows and designed for use by all of the citys Odd Fellow lodges, it is the earliest known surviving work of Seattle architect William E. Boone and George Meeker and remains in an almost perfect state of preservation. The Barnes building has played an important role in the Belltown Community and Seattle&#39;s dance community. It was used by the Odd Fellows for 17 years before their departure to a newer, bigger hall in 1909 and was home to a variety of fraternal & secret societies throughout the early 20th century, with the Free and Accepted Masons being the primary tenant until their own Hall was built in 1915. The ground floor has been a host to a variety of tenants since 1890 ranging from furniture sales to dry goods to farm implement sales and sleeping bag manufacturing, most recently being home to several bars. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as The Barnes Building on February 24, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Seattle Lodge No. 7 of Odd Fellows, first organized in 1876, had been meeting on this block since 1877 when Seattle pioneer and Belltown namesake William Bell had a hall constructed for their use on the lot where the Austin A. Bell Building currently stands. The cost of fitting out the hall was split evenly between Seattles two major lodges, Olive Branch Lodge No. 4 and Seattle Lodge No. 7 and soon became host to numerous social & benevolent organizations. By the end of the 1880s Seattle Lodge No. 7 was the largest Odd Fellows lodge in the state with membership nearing 200. In early 1889, it was announced that the lodge planned to build a new substantial brick building on their lot. After reviewing several competing designs, they chose those of veteran architect William E. Boone, who at the time was partnered with George Meeker. The building, to cost $30,000 was to be four stories in height with a basement. The first floor would be devoted to a single retail space, while the second floor would have a large assembly hall in back with offices in front. The third and fourth floors would contain the Odd Fellows meeting space and divided offices. While the plans for the building remained the same, the location would change slightly. With Austin Bell wanting the lot adjacent to his late father&#39;s hotel to construct his own substantial building, the Odd fellows purchased the lot immediately south of their hall and planned to move the building, which they had also purchased from the Bell family, onto the lot until finances permitted the construction of their new building.</p><br>
<p>Construction finally began in late July 1890, just as the first wave of re-construction following the Great Seattle Fire was winding down. Despite the advancement of architectural styles in the wake of the fire, the Odd Fellows stuck with Boones rusticated Victorian design. The old wooden hall was once again moved, to the corner of Depot and Wall streets where the lodge would continue to meet while their new building was built. The cornerstone was laid in a ceremony on August 27, 1890 with over 200 lodge members and onlookers present. A time capsule was placed within the cornerstone containing copies of the lodge archives and other historical documents. Construction progressed rapidly- The lodge was completely under roof by October, the ground floor was occupied by the Belltown Furniture Company by November and fraternal functions were being held in the building by December, although the main meeting hall wasnt fully in use until January 1891.</p><br>
<p>Within a year the Belltown Furniture Company moved out of the first floor and the Seattle Dry Goods Store took its place, only for that store to go out of business by February 1893, likely a casualty of the Panic of 1893. The next tenant to occupy the ground floor around the turn of the century was the Seattle Vehicle and Implement Company, who sold Moline Wagons and John Deere implements.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1900s, the Odd Fellows began to outgrow their space, with various lodges being forced to rent extra space around the city for their needs. In 1905 the leading lodges of Seattle purchased land in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and constructed a new lodge, completed in 1908. After the Odd Fellows departure from their building in 1909 the lodge rooms remained in use by other fraternal organizations including the Loyal Order of Moose and the Free and Accepted Masons, who had sold their own William Boone-designed building at Second and Pike to the Peoples Savings Bank. At this point the building became known as the Masonic Temple until 1915, when the Masons too relocated to larger quarters on Capitol Hill. The other organizations remained and throughout the 1920s were joined by many social and religious organizations such as the Pentecostal Mission and the International Bible Students Association while somewhat ironically the ground floor was occupied by The Rheine, a beer parlor, opened soon after the repeal of prohibition. The Rheines proprietor Atwill D. Miller also ran a dance hall above his bar known as Caps Old Time Dance. During this time the building was referred to as Ingram Hall and soon became a popular place for all kinds of dances and dance classes. A ghost sign on the rear of the building that advertises "Ballroom Dancing" can still be seen today. In the 1970s the building was home to the Seattle Dance Center, opened by the First Chamber Dance Company, Seattles first resident professional ballet company. The building, now being referred to as the Barnes Building, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1975 and became a city of Seattle Landmark in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The buildings basement was occupied by several light manufacturing firms throughout the 20th century including the Washington Quilt Company, which was destroyed by a fire on January 31, 1955 which also heavily damaged the ground floor, then occupied by the 1st Avenue Tavern, causing over $60,000 in damages without harming the buildings structural integrity. The building was occupied by the Belltown Pub on the ground floor from 2010 until its closure on May 28, 2019, with the owners citing high operating costs. The Screwdriver Bar currently occupies the basement while the upper floors are rented out as Class C office space.</p><br>
<p>The Hull Building  is a historic commercial building located at 2401-2405 1st Avenue in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Designed by notable Northwest architect Elmer Fisher, It was constructed in the latter half of 1889 as an investment property by Seattle politician Alonzo Hull  and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 1983. It is adjacent to the Battery Street Tunnel&#39;s south portal.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hull Building was built in 1889 by Alonzo Hull (1843-1929), a Pennsylvania native and American Civil War veteran who had arrived in Seattle a year prior via Little Rock, Arkansas and quickly began buying property. He took an active role in the local Republican Party and served on the Seattle City Council throughout the 1890s where he helped establish the citys water system and was vital in securing the Cedar River Water shed as Seattles primary water source. In February 1889 Hull purchased the lot at the Northwest corner of 1st Avenue (then known as Front Street) and Battery Street for $13,000 from Dr. Edward C. Kilbourne, kitty corner to William Bells grand hotel that formed the nucleus of the burgeoning North Seattle neighborhood AKA Belltown. At Kilbournes urging, Hull commissioned architect Elmer Fisher to design a 3-story brick building to occupy the lot with construction beginning that Spring.</p><br>
<p>Completed in January 1890, Hulls $30,000 building was one of the first substantial brick buildings completed in the neighborhood. Featuring a restrained Victorian motif with exposed corbelled brick, pressed tin trimmings and cast iron storefront columns, it was typical of Fishers style just prior to the Great Seattle Fire. The building contained 3 store rooms facing First Avenue while the upper floors were used as working class apartments, home to the likes of cooks, stenographers, ship captains, and clerks and owners of the downstairs businesses. One of the buildings earliest retail tenants was the Barnes & Co. Pharmacy; drug stores under various names would operate in the corner store for most of the early 20th century. The lack of commercial development in Belltown after the early 20th century helped preserve the buildings character and eventually the upper floors fell vacant and have remained so to the present day. At some point the building&#39;s cornices were replaced with near replicas but otherwise the building has had minimal restoration work.</p><br>

<p>The Zachariah Spaulding Farm is a historic farmstead on South Hill Road in Ludlow, Vermont. With a history dating back to 1798, it is a well-preserved example of diversified 19th-century farmstead, made further distinctive by the remains of a sauna, the product of ownership by two Finnish families in the 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Spaulding Farm property consists of 10 acre of land on the east side of South Hill Road, roughly midway between Godfrey Road and South Hill Cross Road. The roughly rectangular parcel is lined on its north by a stone wall, and most of its southern edge by fencing, and consists mostly of lands used for pasture and haymaking, with some woodlands towards the back of the property. The farmstead is clustered near the western end of the property, with the house set about 50 ft back from the road. It is a handsome -story wood-frame structure, oriented with its main facade to the south and an ell extending to the north. Outbuildings on the property include two barns, both from the 19th century, a milkhouse, and a storage shed. Foundational remnants exist for a third barn, and for a modest structure that was probably built in the 1930s as a sauna.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead was developed in the 1790s by Zachariah Spaulding, who built the farmhouse in 1798. He was prominent in local civic affairs, serving in town offices and in the state legislature. In addition to agricultural uses, he briefly operated a brickmaking operation on the property in the 1810s, but apparently ended the effort due to inferior clay, taken from the streambed on the property. His son continued to work the land until 1885, when it was sold out of the family. The farm was in active use, generally as a diversified operation with multiple products, through about 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Lyon Building is a historic building located at 607 Third Avenue in Downtown Seattle, Washington, United States. It was built in 1910 by the Yukon Investment Company and was named after the city in France of the same name, reflecting the French heritage of the companys owners. It was designed by the firm of Graham & Myers in the Chicago school style of architecture and was built by the Stone & Webster engineering firm, whose use of non-union labor would make the yet unfinished building the target of a bombing by notorious union activist James B. McNamara, who would commit the deadly Los Angeles Times bombing only 1 month after. The Lyon Building was luckily not destroyed due to its substantial construction, and after little delay, it was completed in 1911 and soon became one of Seattles most popular office addresses for lawyers and judges due to its proximity to Seattles public safety complex and the King County Courthouse. It was the founding location of many foreign consuls, social and political clubs as well as the City University of Seattle. The buildings basement now serves as an entrance the Pioneer Square station of the Seattle Transit Tunnel. The Lyon Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1995 and was designated a Seattle landmark on August 16, 1996. In 1997 it was converted to residential use as a shelter and services center for the homeless and at-risk by the non-profit Downtown Emergency Service Center, who are the current owners of the building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Before the Lyon Building</h3><br>
<p>The double lot at the Northwest corner of Third Avenue and James Street was originally the site of the home of Bailey Gatzert (1829-1893), 8th mayor of Seattle (1875–76) and one of the citys leading businessmen in the 19th century as a partner in the Schwabacher Brothers hardware company. Gatzert had his home constructed in 1875 during his term as mayor and it was one of the most elegant houses in the city at the time. The Gatzerts would play host to president Rutherford B. Hayes at the home during his visit to the city in the Fall of 1880. In 1892, following the lead of other wealthy Seattleites, Gatzert and his wife Barbetta purchased an entire block on First Hill with plans to build a new mansion after returning from a vacation to Europe but Gatzert would die on the boat before making it back home in April 1893. That property would eventually be donated to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle who would construct the St. James Cathedral on the site. After Gatzerts passing, his widow moved out of the house and later out of the city all together. Their old home was turned into lodgings and the grounds around it would gradually be filled in with a hodgepodge of small brick buildings, rendering the old house unrecognizable.</p><br>
<p>The property was purchased from the Gatzert Estate for $70,000 in September 1901 by a syndicate headed by William E. Stevens of the Stevens Hotel Company (which managed the Hotel Seattle, among others), who intended to build a 10-story fireproof hotel on the site. Plans were prepared by Saunders and Lawton with a working title of "The New Hotel Seattle" and elaborate perspective drawings were published in local newspapers, but because of the odd slope of Third Avenue at the site and the citys constant delays in regrading it, the project stalled before the hotel could even get an official name. After having refused several offers, in May 1905 W.E. Stevens syndicate sold the property to capitalist Raymond Auzias de Turenne, then the French Vice-consul at Dawson, YT for $150,000. Turenne soon formed the Yukon Investment Company that would be in charge of developing new buildings and properties around the city. Due to continuing uncertainty about the regrading and widening of Third Avenue, the Third and James property remained unimproved and the increasingly ramshackle corner was beginning to be seen as a public nuisance and a fire trap.</p><br>
<p>"We had planned a skyscraper for this corner costing $400,000 or more but we will not build until we know what move the city of Seattle will make next. When we improved this property 16 months ago the city officials informed us that the street line would remain as it then was. Since then the city has widened the street and we are now tearing down the work constructed less than two years ago." - R. Auzias Turenne, June 1908</p><br>
<h3>The Lyon Building</h3><br>
<p>In February 1910 during a whirlwind of new construction in the city, the Yukon Investment Company announced that they were finally ready to build; proposing a substantial $500,000 building on the site. They commissioned architects Graham & Myers to design a 6-story reinforced concrete office building clad in brick and terracotta, which would be shorter than the previous buildings planned there. The resulting design was a mixture of Chicago school and Beaux-arts styles. A special feature of the building would be an interior court as wide as Third Avenue. Turenne named the building after Lyon, France in honor of the French heritage he and many others involved in his investment company shared. The contract for construction was soon awarded to the nationally renowned Stone & Webster engineering corporation who were known as an "open shop" firm, meaning they used non-union labor on all their jobs; a point of contention amongst national labor unions that would make them a target of union activists. Demolition of the old Gatzert House and the warren of surrounding shops began in March and the building was begun the following month.</p><br>
<h4>Labor disputes and the McNamara bombing</h4><br>
<p>On the night of August 31, 1910, an explosion shook the unfinished building just as nearby theaters were letting out, throwing pedestrians to the ground and shattering nearly every window, including those of a passing street car, in a two-block radius, sending shards of glass raining to the sidewalks. The Lyon Buildings windows had not yet been installed so the explosion vented freely. The wooden floors had recently been installed though and had all been blown loose. After the dust had settled it was discovered by the police that several 6-inch deep holes had been bored into the basement wall of the elevator shaft and surrounding columns where Nitroglycerin had been placed. Though over $5,000 in damage was caused by the explosion there were no deaths, no fire was caused by the explosion, and the location of the bomb in a non-vulnerable area in the building prevented any major structural damage and was confined to the basement. The buildings construction, which had already been delayed by two months due to material shortages, had to be delayed further to completely rebuild the elevator shaft and most of the plumbing that had been mangled in the explosion.</p><br>
<p>A police investigation was immediately begun but there was little physical evidence found. A disgruntled laborer was suspected in the attack and according to Police chief Charles Wappenstein there were reports of at least 5 "roughly dressed" men seen near the building the evening of the explosion. Governor Marion E. Hay offered a reward of $250 to catch the culprits, with Stone & Webster contributing an additional $2,500 soon after. About a week after the explosion a civilian thwarted an alleged bombing attempt on a Chinese-owned business in Pioneer Square by several men matching the description of the Lyons buildings suspects but they were able to escape before police arrived. This incident was later found to be unrelated.</p><br>
<p>Exactly 30 days after the Lyon Building bombing was the infamous Los Angeles Times bombing of October 1, 1910, which killed 20 non-union newspaper employees and raised questions among local law enforcement of whether the two bombings were related and whether the suspects hadnt fled the city immediately. By the time the McNamara Brothers were arrested for the LA bombings in April 1911, the Lyon case was still unsolved with a reward now reaching $5,000 but revelations in the ensuing inquisition would soon prove them correct. California authorities revealed through questioning that James B. McNamara had confessed to being in Seattle on the night of the explosion, having checked into a cottage in the rear of 1020 6th Ave on August 19 under the alias of J.B. Bryce but referring to himself as "Petervitch". He would spend the following week in the city buying supplies and building a bomb that could be detonated by electric spark and while posing as an amateur miner, attended explosive classes and even took pieces of his device to an electric shop directly across the street from the Lyon Building for repairs. He would use the knowledge gained in Seattle to carry out the bombings in Los Angeles. McNamara also confessed to having acted alone in the bombing, despite evidence that he was being shadowed by an accomplice and had support from local iron workers union leadership; the motive being retaliation against Stone & Websters non-union labor policies.</p><br>
<p>At the nation-wide bombing conspiracy trial in Indianapolis, J.H. McCormick, the keeper of the lodge McNamara had stayed at under an alias, offered damning testimony of his comings and goings from his room that coordinated with both the Seattle and LA bombings: that he had witnessed much suspicious behavior from the man, him returning from the scene of the explosion as well as the discovery of an alarm clock (of the type used in other bombings) stashed behind a wall in his room after he had left on September 18.</p><br>
<h4>Completion and later years</h4><br>
<p>The Lyon Building was finally completed in March 1911. Among the first tenants to move in was the Brown-Powell Liquor Companys restaurant and the Seattle Patricians Club. The upstairs offices became a popular address for lawyers even before the King County Courthouse was built across the intersection of James Street. In September 1911 the Lalliance Nationale, the strongest French-Canadian fraternal society on the continent, opened their first Pacific Coast cercle in the building, Cercle Tobiac No. 301. Building owner Auzias-Turenne, with strong French-Canadian connections, became its president. Another club opened in the building relevant to its owner was the Alaskan Square Deal League, a place where "All Alaskans were invited to call and make this office their headquarters". Architect Graham would locate his office in the building not long after completion, the first of several architects who would over the years including William Mallis, Joseph Cote and Stoddard & Son. Seattle&#39;s stock exchange was located in the building for about a year and the local headquarters of the Democratic Party were located in the building throughout the 1910s.</p><br>
<p>R. Auzias de Turenne died in 1941 and ownership of the Yukon Investment Company and its properties including the Lyon Building was passed to his son Leon. During this time the corner was occupied by the Hi-Hat Waffle bar, a popular breakfast spot for courthouse employees and lawyers. Leon died in 1957 but the company continued to operate into the late 1980s and the Lyon Building was always kept up to date with modern office space needs. City University of Seattle was founded on the building&#39;s fourth floor in 1973 by Dr. Michael A. Pastore to provide higher education for working adults.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the Lyon Building was chosen as a site for one of the entrances to the Pioneer Square Station of the Seattle Transit Tunnel. Instead of demolishing the building, the basement level at James Street, previously used for retail, was rebuilt to accommodate the station facilities. By the 1990s the building was owned by King County at which time it was nominated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and it was officially listed on June 30, 1995 It was sold in November 1995 for $1,500,000 to the Lyon Building Limited Partnership who transferred it to the DESC in 2012, who are the current owners and tenants of the building.</p><br>
