<p>The Tunbridge Village Historic District encompasses the early 19th-century village center of Tunbridge, Vermont. Stretched linearly along Vermont Route 110, the largely agricultural village reached its peak population around 1820, and was bypassed by the railroads, limiting later development. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The main village of Tunbridge (chartered 1761) was settled in the 1780s, beginning with the construction of a sawmill and gristmill on the banks of the First Branch White River in 1785. With the village adjacent to fertile bottomlands along the river, it developed as an agricultural center, and a brickyard was opened in 1820, providing building materials for several local buildings. The village was bypassed during the construction of railroads during the 19th century, but was able to maintain an agricultural economy due to its relative proximity to the station in nearby Royalton. In 1847, the village inaugurated the Tunbridge World&#39;s Fair, which has been held at fairgrounds in the village since 1875. The result of this economic history is a collection of buildings, most of which were built before 1840.</p><br>
<p>The historic district, which covers most of the village, extends mainly along Vermont 110, the principal artery along the First Branch White River. Its southern boundary is Howe Lane (Town Highway 45), and its northern boundary is beyond Spring Road. It includes properties along a number of side streets, including Strafford Road and Spring Street. The latter is where the Hayward and Kibby Mill and the Mill Covered Bridge are located. Most of the buildings are modest wood-frame houses, in either Federal or Greek Revival styles, although there are few houses with later Gothic and Italianate features, and a few are built of brick. The village is also home to a number of municipal buildings, as well as several churches. The fairgrounds are located on the west side of Vermont 110, where a bend in the river is not matched by the roadway. The fairground retains a number of well-preserved 19th-century buildings.</p><br>

<p>Field Farm is a historic farm property on Fuller Mountain Road in Ferrisburgh, Vermont. Developed around the turn of the 19th century, the property includes an early farmhouse and barn, as well as outbuildings representative of Vermont&#39;s trends in agriculture over two centuries. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Field Farm is located in rural eastern Ferrisburgh, on the west side of Fuller Mountain Road. The property consists of about 83 acre, bounded on the east by Fuller Mountain Road and the north by a now-disused former town road. The eastern two-thirds of the property consists of open fields, while the western third, located across a brook that feeds Little Otter Creek, is mostly wooded. Most of the farm&#39;s buildings are located in a cluster near the road at the northeast corner of the property. The house is a 1-1/2 story Cape style structure, with a side gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It is unusual for its seven-bay width, which includes two doorways framed by Greek Revival surrounds. It has high knee walls on the upper level, a characteristic typical of early Addison County Capes. Also on the property are two English barns, one contemporaneous to the house, three smaller 19th-century outbuildings, and a 20th-century silo.</p><br>
<p>The farm is one of the original farmsteads to be developed along Fuller Mountain Road. Its original developer, Archibald Collins, acquired the property in 1787, and the farmhouse may well have been built by him around 1807. In the 1830s it was given the Greek Revival styling it now has, and it is possible the house dates to that period as well. The two-story storage barn dates to the same period as the house, while the three-story dairy barn was added about 1850, when dairy farming came into vogue.</p><br>
<p>The Union Village Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, carrying Academy Road across the Ompompanoosuc River in Union Village, Thetford, Vermont. Built in 1867, it is the state&#39;s longest 19th-century multiple kingpost truss bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Union Village Covered Bridge stands in southern Thetford, in rural Union Village, spanning the south-flowing Ompompanoosuc River on Academy Road. It is a single-span multiple kingpost truss structure, 113 ft long with portals that flare outward. It rests on original abutments of dry-laid stone that have been faced or capped in concrete. It is 19 ft wide, with a roadway width of 15 ft (one lane). The floor supports consist of stringers that have been tie-bolted together, reinforced in the 20th century by the addition of laminated beams to the underside. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, with square window openings cut into the sides. The roof is made of standing seam metal.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1867, and is one of two surviving 19th-century covered bridges in Thetford; the other is the Thetford Center Covered Bridge. The bridge underwent a major rehabilitation in 2002-2003. It is the state&#39;s longest multiple kingpost truss bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Ethan Allen Homestead is a historic house museum at 1 Ethan Allen Homestead in Burlington, Vermont. It was built about 1787 by Ethan Allen, and is the only surviving residence of his in the state. It is open to the public annually from May to October. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ethan Allen (1738-1789) is widely revered as one of Vermonts greatest early public figures. Born in Connecticut, he speculated extensively with his brothers and other extended family members in land in Vermont, and was an instrumental figure in securing the territorys independence from New York and its eventual statehood. In his later years he settled on a farm of 1,400 acre in the Winooski River valley, and probably built this house a few years before his death. In the 19th and 20th centuries the property was owned by others, but was generally recognized as having been Allen&#39;s. In the late 1980s a surviving remnant of the farm property was turned into a park and museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a modest -story post-and-beam structure, with a gable roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance framed by simple molding and topped by a four-light transom window and cornice. The interior of the house follows a Georgian central-chimney plan, although the original massive brick chimney has been removed. The house is set on the floodplain of the Winooski River, between it and Vermont Route 127.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln School was built in 1915 in the Classical Revival style. The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 2016. The building now houses the Lincoln House Apartments.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Owosso community was served by a single Union School until the late 1890s. However, by 1915 there were a record number of students in the system, and the school board began exploring the construction of an additional building. The board purchased a location for a new school, and selected Samuel Dana Butterworth of Lansing, Michigan as the architect. The Rickman Sons Company, of Kalamazoo, Michigan was awarded the contract for construction. The completed building opened at the beginning of January 1916.</p><br>
<p>The schools of Owosso continued to grow, and Lincoln School served as an elementary school until the fall of 1980. From that point until 2004, Lincoln School was used as a storage facility, and as the headquarters for the Maintenance Department of the Owosso Public Schools. In 2005, the building was converted to house Lincoln Alternative Education High School, which used the building until 2011. The building remained vacant until 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lincoln School building is a two-story Classical Revival red brick structure measuring approximately 115 feet by 225 feet. The main elevation contains a six bay projecting central section, with each bay flanked by brick pilasters. Each bay contains double-hung windows on both stories. A central pair of doors has a cast stone trim surround, above which is a stone plaque containing "LINCOLN SCHOOL / 1915." To each side of the central portion are three-bay side wings without windows.</p><br>
<p>Fenn Farm is a historic property on Case Street in Middlebury, Vermont. Developed c. 1828 as a sheep farm but now diversified, it now includes a well-preserved collection of mid-19th century farm buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Fenn Farm is located in rural eastern Middlebury, on about 100 acre of land laid out in a relatively narrow strip on either side of Case Street (Vermont Route 116). The landscape consists of rolling hills, divided into a combination of uses, including pasture, agriculture, and woodland. The farm buildings are set in a cluster on the west side of the road. The oldest portion of the farmhouse is a -story Cape style three-bay wood-frame structure, built by 1840 (and possibly as early as 1828), with a series of additions to the rear. Farm buildings from the 19th century include a c. 1860 horse barn and granary, and a c. 1880 piggery. Twentieth-century buildings include a hen house, milk house, and circular silo.</p><br>
<p>Land for the farm was first cleared about 1828 by Silas Torrance, who engaged in the raising of sheep. By 1850, the property was owned by Daniel Sessions, and the farm was more diversified, producing grain and dairy products in addition to wool. In 1854 the property was acquired by James Fenn, and it has remained in the hands of his descendants since then. Emphasis on dairy production increased significantly in the early 20th century, and chicken and egg production was furthered by the construction of the hen house in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Waits River School is a historic school building on Vermont Route 25 in the Waits River village of Topsham, Vermont. Now a private residence, it was built in 1914 as a combination district school and Grange hall, serving in those roles until 1972 and 1953, respectively. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for its Colonial Revival architecture and its importance in local educational history.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Waits River School building is located in the rural village of Waits River, a short way west of the West Topsham United Methodist Church on the north side of Vermont Route 25. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. A -story gabled section projects from the center of the front facade, with the main entrance at its base. The entry is slightly off-center, and is sheltered by a gabled porch supported by square posts. The exterior is relatively unadorned, its massing, slender corner moulding, and partial gable returns the only major indicators of its Colonial Revival style. The interior is more elaborate, and is reflective of an evolutionary history dictated by changing state requirements for school building standards.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1914 by J.W. Zwicker, replacing a district school that had burned down the previous year. Despite attempts by the town to build it to then-current state standards, it did not meet them, and required some alterations before achieving state certification in 1937. The principal alterations were the addition of banks of windows to improve classroom and lighting, and the improvement of heating, ventilation, and bathroom facilities. The building also housed the local Grange chapter on the second floor until 1953, when that space was adapted for use as a second classroom. The school was closed in 1972, and sold into private ownership.</p><br>
<p>The Apartment Building at 27 and 31 Peru Street and 29 Johnson Street is a historic multiunit residential building in Burlington, Vermont. Built about 1889, it is a good local example of vernacular Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The building at the southwest corner of Peru and Johnson Streets is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building. The Old North End neighborhood it stands in is just north of Burlingtons central business district, and is densely built with residential buildings. The building is basically rectangular in shape, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A rectangular gabled section projects from the long east side, facing Johnson Street, with a two-story porch extending to the buildings northeast corner. One entrance from the porch provides access to two of the building&#39;s three units, while the third is accessed from an entrance at the opposite end of the northern facade, sheltered by a metal hood. The skirt of the second-floor porch is finished in scallop-cut shingles. The interior finishes date primarily from the 1960s, although original staircase railings survive.</p><br>
<p>Eli Johnson built this house as part of his development of Johnson Street, begun in 1888. Johnson was a prominent local businessman, with a partnership interest in a printing firm and also in a retail pharmacy on College Street. He began the development during a period when the city&#39;s economic growth had led to housing shortages for working-class families. Early residents of Johnson Street were typically of English or Irish extraction. Originally built as a duplex, it was converted to three units in the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The Stokes–Evans House, also known as the Harvest House Mansion, is located at 52 East Main Street in the Marlton section of Evesham Township in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built for Robert Fulton McKibbon in 1900, and designed in the Queen Anne architectural style. It served as a meeting place for the Montevallo Presbyterian Church, as Fulton was a staunch Presbyterian. In 1944, it was purchased by J. W. D. Galloway, only to be purchased by Melvin T. Smitherman in 1952. It was purchased by Leonard Lawley in 1968.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage since 1978, and on the National Register of Historic Places since December 31, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The East Shoreham Covered Railroad Bridge is a historic covered bridge spanning the Lemon Fair River near East Shoreham, Vermont. Built in 1897 by the Rutland Railroad Company, it is the state&#39;s only surviving example of a wooden Howe truss railroad bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The East Shoreham Bridge is located in a rural area of southeastern Shoreham, on the Lemon Fair River. It is located about 0.2 mi west of the Shoreham-Depot Road, and is accessible on foot via the former railroad right-of-way, now (along with the bridge) a state-owned property. It is a single-span Howe truss structure, 109 ft in length, and set on dry-laid stone abutments faced in concrete. The trusses consist of wooden diagonals and iron rod verticals. The bridge has a total width of 20 ft and an internal width of 13.5 ft. The railroad tracks, which have been removed, were original laid directly on the deck timbers. The bridge&#39;s exterior consists of vertical board siding covered by a metal roof.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1897 by the Rutland Railroad Company for service on its Addison Branch line. Because of the lines relatively light traffic, it was not judged necessary to go to the expense of building an iron bridge, resulting in the construction of one of the states few surviving 19th-century covered railroad bridges. It remained in service until 1951, when the line was abandoned. The state acquired the bridge and surrounding land in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Wells River Graded School is a historic school building on United States Route 5 in the Wells River village of Newbury, Vermont. Built in 1874, it is one of the state&#39;s finest examples of Second Empire architecture. Now in commercial use, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Wells River Graded School building stands set back from Main Street (US 5) on the south side of the village of Wells River, adjacent to the Wells River Congregational Church. It is a 1-1/2 story brick building, with a mansard roof providing a full second story. A tower-like section projects from the center of the front facade, also two stories tall, its roof crested by an iron railing and capped by an open belfry with pyramidal roof. Both the main roof and belfry roof are composed of multicolored slate shingles. The building corners are quoined in brick, and the eaves are studded with paired Italianate brackets. Entrances are set flanking the central projecting, under hip-roof porches, also with multicolor slate roofs. The interior plan has two classrooms on each floor, with separate stairwells in the two western corners.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1874. Although its architect is not documented, the building is stylistically similar to others designed by Lambert Packard in St. Johnsbury. The building was adapted to commercial and community uses in the mid-1970s.</p><br>
<h2>July 2022 building fire</h2><br>
<p>On July 18, 2022, while undergoing restoration work by a private owner, the building was severely damaged by fire causing collapse of the roof and upper floors. As of 2023, the building remains in ruin, with no certainty of any future attempt at restoration.</p><br>
<p>The Martin M. Bates Farmstead is a historic farm property on Huntington Road in Richmond, Vermont. Farmed since the 1790s, the property is now a well-preserved example of a mid-19th century dairy farm, with a fine Italianate farmhouse. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bates Farmstead is located in a rural area of southern Richmond, on 45 acre straddling Huntington Road south of its junction with Hillview Road. The area on either side of the road are open fields, which give way to wooded hills behind. The farm complex is also divided by the road, with the house and a chicken house on the northeast side and a large barn and icehouse on the opposite side. The farmhouse is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof and ells extending to the right side and rear. It has elaborate Italianate stylistic elements, including paired brackets in the eaves and porches supported by paneled posts. The southeast ell, the oldest portion of the house, retains features original to its construction in the 1820s.</p><br>
<p>The property was acquired by Solomon Bates in 1793, who probably began farming it not long after. None of its early buildings survive; the house wing was probably built in the 1820s by Solomon&#39;s son Elihu. The main block of the house dates to the 1850s, and the large barn complex to the 1890s. The house underwent a major restyling about 1880 by Martin Bates, under whose ownership the farm reached its greatest extent, more than 350 acre. The farm remained in Bates family ownership until 1986, with no new buildings added after 1930. The property remains a fine example of a late 19th-century dairy operation.</p><br>

<p>The Colonel Ephraim and Sarah Doolittle Farm is a historic farm property on Doolittle Road in Shoreham, Vermont. It is one of the oldest colonial farm properties in western Vermont, established in 1766 by Colonel Ephraim Doolittle, a veteran of the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Doolittle Farm is located in northern Shoreham, on 180 acre bounded on the west by Vermont Route 22A, the south by Doolittle Road, and the north by the Shoreham-Bridport town line. The western portion of the farm is wooded, and includes Prickly Ash Brook, which flows northeasterly across the property. The eastern portion is open, with fields of pasture and agriculture. The farm complex is set on the north side of Doolittle Road, east of the brook between the cleared and wooded areas. In addition to the c. 1800 farmhouse, the complex includes a carriage barn, three agricultural barns from the mid-to-late 19th century, and several smaller outbuildings. The farmhouse is a particularly fine example of early Federal period architecture, built of brick laid in common bond and covered by a hip roof.</p><br>
<p>The farm was established in 1766 by Colonel Ephraim Doolittle, a colonial militia officer who helped build the Crown Point Military Road, the area&#39;s first road, part of which runs along Doolittle Road. Doolittle established a gristmill and sawmill on Prickly Ash Brook, whose foundational remnants survive. Doolittle was one of the founding proprietors of Shoreham, chartered in 1788, and was a prominent local citizen for many years. The house, dating about 1800, was probably built by Job Lane Howe, a prominent area builder credited with building other fine Federal period houses in the region.</p><br>
<p>The West Fairlee Center Church is a historic church building at Middlebrook and Bear Notch Roads in West Fairlee, Vermont. Built in 1855, it is a fine and little-altered example of rural Greek Revival architecture, also notable for the association of its congregation with Nathaniel Niles, a prominent local minister, landowner, and politician. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The West Fairlee Center Church stands prominently in the rural village of West Fairlee Center, at the north side of the triangular junction of Middlebrook and Bear Notch Roads. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled metal roof and clapboarded exterior. The roof is topped by a tower, its first stage crowned by a cornice, and the second stage consisting of an octagonal louvered belfry with paneled pilasters at the angled sides. It is topped by a steeple that is a 1973 replacement of the original. The main facade is three bays wide, with corner pilasters rising to an entablature and fully pedimented gable. There are two entrances flanking a central window; each is framed by paneled pilasters and a corniced entablature, and topped by a smaller window. The interior has a vestibule under a balcony, which has a pressed tin roof and chamfered square columns for support. The main sanctuary has plaster walls with wainscoting, and its ceiling is also pressed tin. The bench pews are original to the building, as is the pulpit area; the organ dates to 1893.</p><br>
<p>The town of West Fairlee was separated from Fairlee in 1797, supposedly in part due to a personal dispute between two major landowners, Col. Isaac Morey and Nathaniel Niles. Niles was a major landowner in West Fairlee, and often contended with Morey for a seat in the state legislature. Early Congregationalist gatherings were held at his house (which still stands to the south), prior to the construction of the first church in 1811. The present church was built in 1855 to accommodate the town&#39;s growing population. Its location, at roughly the geographic town center, was originally the economic and civic center of the community, but was eclipsed by the present village center later in the 19th century, when it arose as to support local mining operations.</p><br>

<p>The city of Burlington, Vermonts largest, was chartered in 1765 and saw early settlement in the 1770s. Significant development was delayed by the American Revolutionary War. The area south of what is now its downtown area became an early center of commerce, and it was at the home Gideon King (still standing on King Street) where the citys proprietors platted out its street grid. The wharves on Lake Champlain were controlled by King and that area has remained a nexus of commerce and transport through the transition from water-based transport to rail-based, and then also truck-based, transport. The area east of Kings wharf and south of Main Street developed as a transport support area, with warehouses for the storage of goods awaiting shipment, and was augmented by light industry, including the manufacture of items, such as paper tubes and boxes. The waterfront was also the site of Burlingtons only shipyard. Areas further inland were also developed residentially, but today reflect a mix of uses.</p><br>
<p>When first listed on the National Register in 1977, the district extended east from Lake Champlain to St. Paul Street, and south from Main Street (generally excluding Main Street addresses) to Maple Street. A further increase in 2014 added addresses on Pine Street south of Maple Street.</p><br>
<p>The Overfield Tavern is an early-nineteenth-century tavern located along the banks of the Great Miami River in Troy, Ohio. It is currently open to the public as a house museum. The main structure was built by Benjamin Overfield in 1808 and served as an inn and tavern until Overfield&#39;s death in 1831. The Overfield Tavern is the oldest surviving building in Troy, and one of the oldest buildings in Ohio. In 1976 the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure was severely damaged due to a fire in the early morning hours of December 7, 2024, but remained standing.</p><br>
<p>The Overfield Tavern is believed to be the first house built in Troy. Additionally, the tavern served as Troy&#39;s first courthouse, with court held intermittently from 1808 to 1811. In the summer of 1807, the site of Troy was selected as the county seat of Miami County and platted by Andrew Wallace late that year. Benjamin Overfield purchased Lot 2 and completed the construction of his tavern by fall 1808. According to the Commissioners records of December 16, 1808, it was “ordered that the court to be held in Miami County shall be held in the house of Benjamin Overfield in Troy until a courthouse is built; he has agreed to furnish a room for the court to sit in, gratis, during the time or term aforesaid.” Although construction began on a new courthouse in the center of the town square a few years later, it was not completed until 1824. After a fire ravaged most of the log houses along Water Street that same year, Overfield moved his tavern business to the public square in part to be closer to the new courthouse. Fire again struck on December 7, 2024 leaving the Overfield Tavern severely damaged by a structure fire of unknown cause. The exterior thick log walls were deemed likely to survive, but the interior was “largely gutted”. A large, irreplaceable collection of local historical artifacts was lost in the blaze.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the 2024 fire, the property consisted of a two-story, hewn-log building with steeple notched corners constructed in 1808 and an earlier, circa-1803 log structure attached to the north side via an enclosed dogtrot. This smaller log structure was believed to have been the original one-room log cabin constructed by Benjamin Overfield for his family. A series of one-story additions on the north and east were constructed in the mid-nineteenth century. The building displays elements of the Federal style.</p><br>
<p>The White Pigeon Prairie Land Office in White Pigeon, Michigan is the oldest surviving land office in Michigan and was in business 1831-1834. It is designated as a Michigan State Historic Site. The United States land offices were the federal government agency that was primarily responsible for the sale and of public land to individual purchasers. Michigan&#39;s first land office was established in Detroit in 1804. The US Land office in White Pigeon was the third office to open in Michigan and was created on the Sauk Trail  as pioneers were moving west in search of viable land.,</p><br>
<p>The White Pigeon land office&#39;s location on the Chicago Road (Sauk Trail), which linked Chicago and Detroit was chosen as it was the largest village west of Jackson, MI. The first settler in Kent County, Michigan bought land from the office was Louis Campau in October 1833.</p><br>
<p>The USA started issuing land in Michigan after the 1821 Treaty of Chicago, in which the Potawatomi and other tribes turned over their land, was signed in 1821. The White Pigeon land office operated for 4 years from 1831-1834. During that time over a quarter million acres of land were sold from this office at a rate of $1.25 per acre. In 1834, the White Pigeon register Abraham S. Edwards and receiver, Thomas C. Sheldon moved to the newly created land office in Bronson-now Kalamazoo.</p><br>
<p>The land office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 7, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The White Pigeon land office is the oldest building in Southwest Michigan and one of the oldest in the state.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The land office was built in the Greek Revival architectural style which was a prevalent style during this time period. It is located in downtown White Pigeon, MI. The site was renovated in 2019 and features displays and exhibits relating to surveying, land purchase and the history of the area.</p><br>
<p>The Aviary at the Houston Zoo is a historic work of art created by Mexican-born architect and artist Dionicio Rodriguez located at the Houston Zoo in Houston, Texas and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Faux Bios sculptures were built in 1926 and dubbed the "flying sculpture." Although Hurricane Carla destroyed the aviarys wire superstructure in 1961, Rodriquezs sculptures remain and are composed of a tree, a fountain, logs, ledges and rock bordering a shallow pond which are now part of the Flamingo Habitat at the zoo.</p><br>

<p>Lawler Motor Company Building, also known as the Farmer Automobile Company Building, is a historic commercial building located at St. Joseph, Missouri. It was built in 1913, and is a two-story, trapezoidal shaped small-scale brick commercial building. It was designed as an automobile showroom and service center, with a second-story apartment. The building housed a Ford dealership from 1917 to 1928. Michael Patrick Lawler  was the founder and owner of the Lawler Motor Company. Up until 1928 Lawler sold only Fords and was golfing buddies with Henry Ford. During one such golf game, Henry Ford asked Lawler if he would help pitch the local city council for approval to build a new Ford assembly plant in St. Joe. When Lawler asked the council they turned the request down saying "St. Joe is an ag town, not an industrial town" which is why the assembly plant was built in Kansas City instead. Sometime thereafter, Lawler moved the dealership to Kansas City and expanded the line to include Nash as well as Ford autos.</p><br>
<p>Eventually the Lawler Motor Company building fell into disrepair until it was purchased and renovated by the owners of River Bluff Brewing Company.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>

<p>The Empress Theatre is a theater on historic Main Street in the USA town of Magna, Utah that has stood for more than 100 years. Built in 1916 by the Western Theatre Corporation, the venue originally opened to provide entertainment to the mine workers of the town.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The design of the building, a combination of Neo-classical and Beaux Arts styles, makes it the most outstanding example of high style architecture in Magna. Though not a premier example of the Neo-classical style in Utah, the Empress Theatre is one of several distinctively styled theaters in small Utah towns that are dominated by relatively plain commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>Historically, the Empress Theatre is one of the oldest and best-preserved commercial buildings in Magna, and it is the oldest theater in the community. At the time of its construction, the Empress Theatre was the second theater in Magna. The first, the Palace Theatre, operated from 1914 to 1917, but its location is currently unknown. The Empress Theatre was constructed during the period of greatest growth in Magna, the 1910s and 1920s. The Utah Copper Corporation was established in 1903, incorporating numerous small mining operations into one large one, and soon after erected the Magna and Arthur concentrators near the site of Pleasant Green, which several years later became known as Magna.</p><br>
<p>The Empress Theatre was one of several buildings that were erected along Main Street during the decades of the 1910s and &#39;20s, creating a substantial commercial district. Most of those buildings have been left vacant and neglected over the past 50 years, however, as the prime commercial district has shifted further west and south and the depressed local economy has dried up most businesses in the old Main Street area. The Empress Theatre is one of the best preserved of the older commercial buildings along Main Street, and it is easily the most sophisticated in terms of its architectural design. Most of the remaining buildings in the area are relatively plain, nondescript commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>On May 9, 1985, the theater was entered into the National Charter for Historic Places (). Making it the only building in Magna to hold the distinction.</p><br>
<h2>Theater operations</h2><br>
<p>Day-to-day operations are fulfilled by a group of more than 300 volunteers from around the Salt Lake Valley. In addition to these volunteers, the theater houses a resident creative staff. This staff is responsible for conceiving, developing, and implementing the artistic vision and focus of the theater and for major decisions about the ongoing development of the aesthetic values and activities. These include setting the season, managing the calendar, hiring directors and production staff as well as overseeing each production to make sure they are adhering to the theater&#39;s mission and goals.</p><br>
<p>The operation costs are covered entirely by grants and donations from patrons, making every production a true instance of community theater. In addition to the 8–10 shows put on every year, the theater houses a youth program for anyone aged 6 to 18 during the summer. This program puts on a fully produced and realized musical with only three weeks of preparation.</p><br>
<p>The theater, along with other buildings in Downtown Magna, sustained visible damage during a magnitude 5.7 earthquake on the morning of March 18, 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Oquirrh Hills Performing Arts Alliance</h2><br>
<p>Starting in 2006, the Oquirrh Hills Performing Arts Alliance (OHPAA) – succeeded in once again making the Empress Theatre a working theater. Since that time, the volunteers, actors, and, board members of the OHPAA have worked tirelessly to improve both the organization and the building in order to continue to bring quality family entertainment to this corner of the Salt Lake Valley.</p><br>
<p>The Wilson Alwyn "Snowflake" Bentley House is a historic house on Nashville Road in Jericho, Vermont. Built about 1860, it was the lifelong home of Wilson Bentley , the towns best known resident and one of worlds innovators in the photography of snowflakes. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bentley House stands in a rural area of southeastern Jericho, on the south side of Nashville Road a short way west of Bentley Lane. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Extending to either side of the central block are -story cross-gabled ells, the right one fronted by a hip-roof porch. Windows are capped by shallow-pitch peaked lintels, and there is a tin snowflake decoration in a triangular panel at the peak of the central gable. The ells each have front-facing gable dormers with steeply pitched roofs. A third ell projects to the house&#39;s rear; it is there that Wilson Bentley had his photographic studio.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1860 and enlarged by the addition to the west about 1887. Wilson Bentley was the grandson of one of Jericho&#39;s early settlers, and lived here his entire life. Largely self-educated, he developed at an early age equipment and techniques for capturing microphotographs of snowflakes, a subject on which he became a well-known authority.</p><br>
<p>The District Six Schoolhouse is a historic school building on Elmendorf Road in Shoreham, Vermont. Built about 1833 and now converted into a residence, this modest stone structure is one of Vermont&#39;s oldest surviving district schoolhouses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The former District Six Schoolhouse stands in a rural area of northeastern Shoreham, on the southwest side of Elmendorf Road. It is a modest single-story stone structure, measuring just 20 x, with a gabled roof. It is built of course rubble limestone and covered by a standing seam metal roof. The street-facing facade has two bays, with the entrance in a recess on the left and a sash window on the right, and has a half-round window in the gable. The southeast roof face has a gabled wood-frame dormer, part of alterations made to convert the building to residential use. A single-story wood-frame ell extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1833 out of locally quarried limestone, and is a good example of late Federal period vernacular architecture. It is one of a number of surviving stone district schools in the region. It remained in use as a schoolhouse until the 1940s. After standing vacant for some years, it was rehabilitated and converted into a residence.</p><br>
<p>The West Newbury Village Historic District encompasses the modest rural country village of West Newbury, Vermont. It is located at the junction of Tucker Mountain, Snake, and Tyler Farm Roads, and is relatively little altered since its 19th-century development. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The West Newbury area was first settled by colonists in the 1770s, with the small village center growing in the following decades to serve the outlying agricultural area of southern Newbury. The local meetinghouse was built in 1833, and in 1841 Samuel Eastman built the store (now converted to apartments) at the junction of Tyler Farm and Snake Roads. The village is home to Newburys only surviving district schoolhouse, now owned by the local historical society. Unlike Newburys other villages, which benefited from their location on the Connecticut River and later on the railroad, the village has always been of modest rural character.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is basically linear, running from the junction of Tyler Farm and Snake Roads southward along Tyler Farm Road to Rogers Hill Road. Its buildings are of wood-frame construction, one and two stories in height, and almost all were built before 1900. Its few 20th century intrusions, including the c. 1975 post office, are architecturally sympathetic to the village&#39;s historic character.</p><br>
<p>Greystone Villa, Cabin 18, is a historic building located in the Santa Ana Mountains within Cleveland National Forest, in Orange County, Southern California. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is located near Hot Spring Canyon on the Ortega Highway (California Route 74).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cabin was built between 1929 and 1930 by Frank Z. Phillips, a contractor from Los Angeles. Its NRHP Architectural Classification lists the building under "Rustic/Folk Art/Twentieth Century with Craftsman Features." On Cabin 18, small stones have been used to label the cabin with its number. In addition, the castle inspired stone and mortar structure is a well maintained example of southern Californian rustic vernacular of the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>The collection of cabins built along the Ortega Highway is a result of the Term Occupancy Act, approved by Congress in 1915. The purpose was to encourage residents to build second homes within the boundaries of national forests in order to boost the role of the Forest Service. The homes built at this time utilized natural materials found surrounding the construction sites such as cleared trees and rocks. Large rocks were used in the foundations and walls, while smaller ones decorated the outside walls enhancing the architecture.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Register of Historic Places, "Having recreation residences on national forests is a significant chapter in the history of federal management of public lands, as well as in the history of outdoor recreation. California was probably the state where the Forest Service first issued permits, and it certainly has become the state where the idea reached fullest expression."</p><br>
<p>The Clayton School is a historic structure located in Clayton, Iowa, United States. The two-story structure, composed of native limestone, reflects the prosperity of the mid-19th century when it was built. It served as a school building into the late 20th century when the district consolidated with a neighboring school district because of declining enrollment. The building went on to serve as a city hall and community center. Completed in 1860, the rectangular building features bracketed eaves, and a gabled roof that is capped with dormers and an octagon-shaped cupola. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>St. Olaf Auditorium, also known as the St. Olaf Opera House and Auditorium, is a historic building located in St. Olaf, Iowa, United States. The city was able to complete the auditorium in 1939 with the assistance of the Public Works Administration  and labor provided under the aegis of the Works Progress Administration . Both are New Deal programs that sought to relieve the economic effects of the Great Depression. The building is a two-story structure composed of native rubble limestone that follows the PWA Moderne style. It has served as a community center that has hosted a variety of social activities, including recreational, athletic, cultural, educational, and civic functions. The auditorium was used occasionally for vaudeville and minstrel shows. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Hotel is a historic building located in Strawberry Point, Iowa, United States. The Franklin Hotel and Land Company was established in 1902 for the purpose of building a modern hotel to serve the community. They hired the Independence, Iowa architectural firm of Netcott and Donnan to design the building, which was constructed by E. M. Loop of Hopkinton, Iowa. The hotel opened on February 12, 1903, and the building has served that purpose ever since. The two-story brick building combines the Neoclassical and Romanesque Revival styles. It sits on the northeast corner of an intersection and its rounded corner follows the curve of the intersection. The commercial space adjacent to the north is also a part of this building with hotel rooms on the second floor. Railroad tracks at one time were located just north of the hotel, which served the passengers from the railroad and later travelers from the highways that run past the hotel. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The District School No. 1 is a historic one-room schoolhouse on Lake Road in Panton, Vermont. Built about 1818, the stone building is one of Vermont&#39;s oldest district schoolhouses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Panton&#39;s former district 1 schoolhouse stands at the junction of Lake and Spaulding Roads in the rural western portion of the town. It is a single-story structure, built out of locally quarried limestone. It measures 25 x, and is covered by a gabled roof. The window bays have tooled white marble sills and lintels, which contrast with the roughly finished gray stone walls. Triangular marble stones are also set at the peak of each gable. The interior of the building is a large single chamber, which has been much altered due to its 20th-century use as a chicken coop.</p><br>
<p>The school was built about 1818, the year the town divided its territory into four school districts. This school and the other district schools were built out of limestone quarried from outcrops found on the west side of Dead Creek. The school saw regular use into the first quarter of the 20th century, and was sold in 1932 to a local farmer. He converted it into a chicken coop. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1980, it was vacant and in dilapidated condition.</p><br>
<p>The Harlie Whitcomb Farm is a historic farm property on George Street in Orange, Vermont. The property, which includes a pre-1869 farmhouse, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, because the 10 acre property also included an octagonal three-story barn, one of a very few known in the state. The barn has since been demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Harlie Whitcomb Farm is located about 0.5 mi north of Orange&#39;s village center, on the south side of George Street a short way north of the town cemetery. The 10 acre of the farm are set between the cemetery and a rise to the west. The house is a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, with a metal roof and clapboarded exterior. Its front facade is six bays wide, with the main entrance in the left center bay. A garage and shed stand on the property south of the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1905-06, Harlie Whitcomb built a three-story eight-sided barn at a remove to the south of the house. Because of the relatively unaltered condition of the barn, which had by the 1970s fallen out of regular use, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Octagonal barns underwent a revival around the turn of the 20th century, as an efficient means of feeding and caring for dairy cattle, and this barn was one of a dwindling number of surviving octagonal barns from that period. The barn has since been demolished, and only foundational remnants survive.</p><br>
<p>Valley Mills is a historic building located east of Garnavillo, Iowa, United States. This is one of at least four mills that was located on Buck Creek in the 19th century. They included both grist and lumber mills. The first mill located on this site was a lumber mill built in 1850. A change in ownership and an expansion of the business led to the construction of this grist mill three years later. The two-story structure is composed of roughly dressed limestone, has an exposed basement, and is capped with a gable roof. It was built for B. E. Schroeder and J. H. Kueuzel, who owned the mill until 1867. Kueuzel then held sole ownership into the 1880s. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Buell Street–Bradley Street Historic District encompasses a small residential area just to the east of downtown Burlington, Vermont. Roughly bounded by Pearl, South Willard, and College Streets, and Orchard Terrace, the area was developed between about 1890 and 1910, representing one of the last significant neighborhoods built up near the downtown area. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Burlingtons early economic history was dominated by activities on the waterfront of Lake Champlain. By the 1850s, lumber had also become a major industry in the city, and manufacturing and retailing also became important in the second half of the 19th century. Development of the Buell Street–Bradley Street area, was delayed in part due to its geography, which included a steep ravine. A railroad line was built through the ravine in 1849, but was later abandoned, and was filled in during the 1860s. This made possible the extension of South Union Street through the area, and opened the area between it and South Willard for development. The area was by the 1880s the last undeveloped area in the proximity of the citys growing downtown, and development proceeded from the late 1880s to about 1930.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by Pearl Street, the east by South Willard Street, and the south by College Street, but does not include any buildings on those major through streets. It is bounded on the west by Orchard Terrace and South Union Street, which are just east of South Winooski Avenue, one of the citys downtown thoroughfares. Most of the districts buildings are residential, one to three stories in height, and built of wood. Stylistically, the large majority are in a late Queen Anne Victorian style, although there are examples of Dutch Colonial, Colonial Revival, and Bungalow buildings. At first occupied by main middle-class residents working in the downtown area and the city&#39;s manufacturing plants, it is now mainly populated by college students attending nearby schools, principally the University of Vermont, whose campus is east of South Willard.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Barn is a historic building located in Guttenberg, Iowa, United States. This 1½-story stone structure is located along an alley and has been used for storage. There are indications that at one time it served the dual purpose of shop and residence. The garage door opening is not original to the structure and is located where a smaller door was initially located. There was a fireplace on</p><br>
<p>west side of interior, and the possibility of an arched cellar window at the northwest corner. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
