<p>The West View Farm is a historic farm property on Hastings Road  in Waterford, Vermont. The farm is unique for its distinctive round barn, built in 1903 to a design by St. Johnsbury architect Lambert Packard, and surviving 19th-century corn crib and smokehouse. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It includes a round barn.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>West View Farm is located in a rural setting of western Waterford, on 150 acre on either side of Hastings Road, now a spur road ending at the farmstead complex. Most of the property is wooded, but there are open fields for hay and pasture near the farmstead. Buildings in the farm cluster include a rambling c. 1860 Greek Revival farmhouse with several extending ells, a c. 1860 smokehouse, a c. 1870 corn crib, an early 20th-century poultry house, and a large round barn built in 1903. The barn is three levels high, with the bottom two levels unobstructed except for the central circular silo. Its exterior is clad in wooden shingles.</p><br>
<p>The farm property was established in 1807 by Josiah Hastings. The present farmhouse was built by his son Curtis about 1860. The round barn was one of the last works designed by St. Johnsbury architect Lambert Packard, and is one of a small number of surviving early 20th-century round barns in the state. It was built by Fred Quimby, a carpenter from Barnet who was locally known for his silos. It was also an instant tourist attraction, drawing 2,000 visitors in the first year after its construction in 1903. The farm&#39;s smokehouse and corn crib are also two rare surviving examples of 19th-century outbuildings of their type.</p><br>
<p>The Coates House Hotel is a former hotel at 1005 Broadway in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, on the National Register of Historic Places. Also known as the New Coates House Hotel, it was built in 1889–1891, incorporating parts of an earlier hotel, which had been built in the late 1860s as the Broadway Hotel and then became the Coates House after a change in ownership. In 1978, when it had become primarily single-room occupancy for transients, it burned in the deadliest fire in the city&#39;s history. It was subsequently restored and is now an apartment building.</p><br>
<h2>First hotel</h2><br>
<p>The first hotel on the site, at 10th Street and Broadway, was designed in 1857 by John Johnson, an English architect who later became the third mayor of Kansas City, as part of the development of former farmland owned by Kersey Coates that later became the neighborhood of Quality Hill; at the time it was ten blocks south of downtown. The building was unfinished when the Civil War broke out; Union forces used the foundations for a cavalry barracks, part of Camp Union.</p><br>
<p>Originally called the Broadway Hotel, it was owned and built in the late 1860s by (1816–1899) from Massachusetts, who was elected a Commissioner of Lawrence, Kansas, appointed Quartermaster of the State of Kansas, and appointed USA Army Paymaster by President Lincoln; it was then managed by his brother Thomas Bailey Eldridge (1825-1897). Colonel Eldridge was already well known for his other hotel, the Eldridge House, which he rebuilt three times in defiance of a local pro-slavery judge and sheriff who fired on his hotel with a canon and then set it ablaze. Broadway Hotel was a five-story brick building with a mansard roof. It did not prosper, and in 1870 Coates acquired it and it was renamed the Coates House. In the 1860s, Coates had built an opera house diagonally across 10th Street; it and the hotel catalyzed the development of a wealthy neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>Second hotel</h2><br>
<p>Coates had died in April 1887. Beginning in 1888, his widow and family demolished the original hotel and rebuilt it on the same site as the New Coates House Hotel, while enlarging Coates&#39; addition. President Benjamin Harrison stayed in the addition in 1890, before rebuilding was complete. The new hotel opened on January 10, 1891. This building, the northern section of which survives, was designed by Van Brunt & Howe; it has six stories and is of brick with stone ornamentation and stone courses on the upper floors, and white-painted stone with brick courses on the first floor. A balcony extends across each of the two main facades, on Broadway and 10th Street. The building originally had a crenellated parapet inscribed with "Coates House" on both main facades, and turrets or belvederes at the corners; these have been removed, as have the chimneys. It originally formed a rectangle around a central courtyard; the four-story east side, which housed services such as laundry and storage and rooms for employees, was later mostly demolished, leaving a U-shaped building.</p><br>
<p>The new hotel had a marble main staircase and offered services including a barber shop, a florist&#39;s, a bonnet shop, and Turkish baths. It remained a prestigious hotel for several decades; guests after the reopening included Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, Edwin Booth, William Jennings Bryan, and Oscar Wilde. It was nicknamed "the hotel of the presidents".</p><br>
<h2>Fire and rebuilding</h2><br>
<p>On January 28, 1978, by which time it was in disrepair</p><br>
<p>Historic Kansas City Foundation bought the ruined building in July 1979. In 1984, McCormack Baron Salazar, a developer based in St Louis, bought it and restored it as middle- and high-income housing; the company has also redeveloped many other sites in Quality Hill. The exterior renovation was completed in 1987, and in 2009 the plaque commemorating Kersey Coates was returned to the building.</p><br>
<p>There are reports that the building is haunted.</p><br>

<p>Butterfly Lodge is a five and half room log cabin, originally constructed as a hunting lodge in 1913 for the author, James Willard Schultz. Originally a rectangular building measuring 18 feet by 24 feet, it has been expanded over the years and now covers 40 feet, 10 inches by 32 feet, 6 inches, the shorter side being the front of the cabin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cabin exists in a rural area off of Forest Road (FR) 245, just to the west of its intersection with Arizona State Route 373. Schultz financial success as a writer and explorer enabled him to build the first cabin by a non-resident in the remote White Mountains. Two men from nearby Greer, Arizona, John T. Butler and Cleve Wiltbank, built the cabin in 1913, intending to be used by James Willard Schultz as a hunting lodge and retreat.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the cabin has also undergone changes over the years. Initially, there was no front porch, the main entry was reached by two wooden steps. There was very minimal trim as well after its construction, and very early on there was an Indian geometric design painted on the front door, as well as the phrase "Apuni Oyis 1914" painted on the front fascia. Apuni Oyis is Blackfoot for "Butterfly Lodge". Above the apex of the front door there was an antlered deer skull mounted. The two wooden steps were replaced by a wooden porch, followed by a stone porch, with a wooden railing supported by concrete and rock tapered pylons. The modest trim was replaced very early on, with wider, more ornate trim, which exists to this day. By the end of the 1930s the deer skull was removed, and the skull of steer was placed above the windows. The natural logs lost their bark, and eventually the structure was painted brown, with the trim originally painted green, which was changed to brown later on. Currently, the railing on the porch is in a state of disrepair, as is the concrete surface of the porch.</p><br>
<p>From its initial construction through the 1920s, the house was used by Schultz primarily as a retreat and a base for hunting. However, it is likely that he did some of his writing on the premises. In the 1930s Schultz transferred ownership to his son, Lone Wolf. It was Lone Wolf&#39;s primary residence from the 1920s through the 1960s. While he did maintain a residence in Tucson, and a temporary summer shelter in Montana, the cabin near Greer was his base. The long-term lease originally given to Schultz in the 1910s expired with the death of Lone Wolf in 1970, and the property, along with the cabin, reverted to the National Forest Service. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Forest Service used the cabin to house men and equipment. In 1990 the supervisor of the Apache National Forest applied for inclusion the National Register of Historic Places. The organization, James Willard Schultz-Lone Wolf Museum, obtained the cabin and the two acres surrounding it from the Forest Service, and established the Butterfly Lodge Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The cabin consists of 5 and half rooms, of logs with plank and slab construction. Originally it covered 18 feet by 24 feet, but has been expanded with three additions during the 1920s and 1930s, and now covers 40 feet, 10 inches by 32 feet, 6 inches, the shorter side being the front of the cabin, which lies to the southwest of the building. There was a fireplace on the east end of the structure. The logs were hewn on three sides, leaving the bark on the fourth side to serve as exterior facing, as well as their corners having a double saddle notch in the corners of the building. The logs were procured from the Isaacson Saw Mill, which was located not far away on Benny Creek.</p><br>
<p>The first addition was made to the west corner in 1914, consisting of a shed-roof room, running the entire length of the cabin, and increasing the width of the cabin by 13 feet, nine inches. This addition most likely served as a bedroom and storage area. At some point during the 1920s, another room was added to the cabin, this time to east corner of the structure. However, this room did not run the full length, and thus created an "L" shape to the building, and was intended as an artist&#39;s studio. The final addition to the structure was made in 1929, in the north corner, which returned the structure to a rectangular shape. It was used as the kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The front door is located on the southwest well of the building, and is of vertical tongue and groove construction, measuring six feet, two inches tall by two feet, ten inches wide. To the west of the door are four horizontal two-over-three sash windows, each window measuring eight inches tall by ten inches wide. The gable has enclosed eaves and reaches eleven feet in height. The first addition increased the length of this side of the structure by almost fourteen feet, and includes two casement windows with two-over-two sash on this side of the building. Each of the windows is ten inches tall by eight inches wide.</p><br>
<p>The northwest side can be broken down into three sections, each corresponding to the interior room it encloses. All the sections are plank construction with slab exterior. Each of the three sections contains a window. The first window looks into the bedroom and a double hung two-over-two sash measuring ten inches high by eight inches wide. The second window looks into the bathroom, and is identical to the bedroom window. The third window, looking into the kitchen, is a two-over-two casement measuring ten inches high by fourteen inches wide.</p><br>
<p>The rear of the cabin faces northeast and contains a door and two sets of windows. Nearest the northwest corner are two windows of horizontal two-over-two sash construction, each measuring ten inches high by sixteen inches wide. Next to the windows are the door which leads into the kitchen, being 6 feet, 2 inches high by 2 feet, ten inches wide; like the front door it is also tongue and groove construction, although at a 45-degree angle. A wooden porch with three steps leads up to the door, and measures four feet, six inches wide. On the other side of the door are a sequence of five windows looking into the art studio. Each window is ten inches high by eight inches wide, and are horizontal three-over-three sash. The southeast side of the structure has door entering the art studio. There are three horizontal three-over-three sash windows which look into the original room of the cabin.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The cabin served as the backdrop for Schultz&#39;s 1920 story, In the Great Apache Forest; The Story of a Lone Boy Scout, about a local brother and sister, the teenagers George and Hannah Crosby. The book gained international fame, especially in Europe.</p><br>
<p>The poet Henry Herbert Knibbs wrote a poem entitled "Apuni Oyis", which was included in his book, Riders of the Stars: A Book of Western Verse. The poem is a tribute to James Willard Schultz, and starts off, "There&#39;s a lodge in Arizona where the rugged pines are marching / Straight and stalwart up the hillside till they gather on the crest, / And around their feet the grasses and the purple flowers are arching / In the dim and golden glamour of the sunlight in the West."</p><br>

<p>The Wheelock Common Historic District encompasses the traditional town center of the small northeastern Vermont community of Wheelock. Located at the junction of Vermont Route 122 and Sutton Road, it includes the town common, town hall, and cemetery. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village center of the town of Wheelock is located in its northeastern corner, stretching along Vermont Route 122 south of the Millers Run river. At the eastern end of the linear village, Sutton Road (Town Highway 17) branches northeast, while Route 122 bends more southeast to follow the river. The town common is a quarter-acre grassy area on the east side of this junction; it is a roughly semicircular area bounded on the south by Route 122 and the north by the drive providing access to the town hall. It is shaded by pine trees, and has two benches, a bandstand, and the towns 1915 memorial to its American Civil War participants. Across Route 122 from the common is the cemetery, about 3/4 acre in size, also shaded by pine trees. The earliest dated grave is from 1827, although two people who died earlier have since been reinterred there. The town hall stands north of the common; it is a 1-1/2 story Greek Revival gable-roofed building with a square belfry.</p><br>
<p>The town of Wheelock was chartered in 1785 as a land grant to Dartmouth College and the Moor&#39;s Indian Charity School, both founded by Eleazer Wheelock, for whom the town is named. The town was managed for many years as a tenancy by Dartmouth, a relationship that did not fully end until the 1970s, when the college divested itself of all remaining land in the town. Its original town hall was located in the Wheelock Hollow area in the south of the town, but the cemetery was established in the village by 1827, and formally deeded to the town in 1860. The move to build a new town hall in the village in 1871 was spurred at least in part by an attempt to develop local mineral springs as a tourist draw. The Baptist church was moved to stand next to it in 1880, and a schoolhouse was also located facing the common. Both of these buildings were demolished in the 20th century due to deteriorating condition. The town hall, also deteriorating, was moved onto a new foundation in the 1970s, providing space for the town offices in the basement.</p><br>
<p>The Whitehill House is a historic house on Groton-Peacham Road in Ryegate, Vermont. Built in 1808, it is the oldest surviving building in Ryegate, and a distinctive example of stonework by Scottish immigrants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitehill House stands in a rural area of northwestern Ryegate, set back about 450 ft on the west side of the Groton-Peacham Road. Its main block is stories in height, with a broad gabled roof oriented with the gable to the street and the main facade to the south.

The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance. The interior follows a typical center hall plan, but has little of its original finishes. A massive stone chimney is located at the western end.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1808 by James Whitehill, an immigrant from Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, who arrived in Ryegate in 1798. Whitehill was one of a large number of Scottish immigrants to the region, and was one of the founders of the local Presbyterian church. The house remained in the hands of descendants of Whitehill until 1928, when it was transferred to a family association.</p><br>

<p>Benajah Wolcott House  is a stone structure on the Danbury-Marblehead Peninsula, north of Sandusky Bay near Marblehead, Ohio. It is the oldest surviving home in Ottawa County. Historians believe it may have been the family home of the Wolcott family during the 1820s. It should not be confused with the wooden lighthouse keepers house adjacent to the Marblehead Light, built in 1880.</p><br>
<h2>Origins</h2><br>
<p>Due to conflicting records, its unclear whether the stone Keepers House was actually the home of Marblehead Light (Ohio) lighthouse keeper Benajah Wolcott during his 1822–32 tenure. Records indicate that +++ members of the Wolcott family purchased the land from Seth Steel in the early 1830s. However, Benajah Wolcott was never the landowner, according to official property records.</p><br>
<p>The house stands 2 miles from the lighthouse, in approximately the center of original "Lot 15", whereas Wolcotts property in the area was within the original "Lot 17" beginning in the year 1808. Local custom states that Wolcott had the stone Keepers House built as a wedding present for Rachel Miller on their 1822 marriage. He also owned property in Sandusky, Ohio. After the marriage, Wolcott may have lived there between shipping seasons. After Wolcott’s death in 1832, Rachel and their son lived in the home until 1896, when it was sold to an owner outside the family. The Keeper’s House was occupied from 1822 until the last residential owners died in 1987. In 1989, the Ottawa County Historical Society purchased the home, restored it and maintains it as a historical museum with tours and special events.</p><br>
<p>Disproved historical legends are associated with the land on which the Keepers House stands. One relates to the War of 1812: some local historians previously (erroneously) suggested that it was the former site of Wolcotts first "log cabin" — and therefore theorized that it was within "Wolcott&#39;s" log-cabin where several dozen Ohio soldiers and local citizens sought refuge during a "skirmish with Indians" in September 1812. Although the location was right, a man called Paterson owned the cabin. Wolcott said his first home was not a log-cabin, but a frame-structure house, which was burned to the ground by Native Americans or the British military, at the beginning of the War of 1812.)</p><br>
<p>Another local folk legend claiming the "Wolcott House" to be the "Keepers House" is the story that Wolcott walked the 2 mile distance from this property to the Marblehead lighthouse every night to light the beacon. In fact, Wolcott may well have resided at a different stone house right beside the lighthouse. The wood-frame lighthouse keepers house replaced the stone property in 1880.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1864, Bay City lumberman William McEwan purchased the acreage around the area that is now downtown Clare. In 1868, he established a logging camp just south of what is now the city, and began clearing timber. In 1870, the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad extended their tracks through the area, crossing what was then known as the Isabella-Tobacco River State Road near McEwan&#39;s lumber camp. McEwen took this opportunity to plat out a city near the crossing, and by the end of 1870, a small collection of buildings had been erected in Clare, including boarding houses, a store, and a few private houses.</p><br>
<p>The commercial district grew rapidly in the 1870s. In 1878, Clare had 700 residents, over 30 commercial establishments, two churches, and more industrial employers. In 1881, an opera house opened, and in 1885 the first brick building in the city was constructed. Public water mains and telephone lines were soon installed, and bu 1891 there were nearly 1200 residents in Clare, and it was incorporated as a city. Electrical service was introduced in 1894, and a number of important commercial brick structures were built in the downtown in the 1890s, culminating in Clares largest commercial building, Alfred Dohertys no longer extant six-storefront on McEwen.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1900s, two significant fires in 1904 and 1907 destroyed a number of buildings in the downtown area, most constructed of wood. However, the buildings were quickly replaced, and from that point on, all further construction was of brick. Additional smaller fires occurred throughout the rest of the 20th century, resulting in a steady trickle of new construction of individual buildings from the 1920s through until the 1990s. Further construction occurred in the 1930s along West Fifth Street, following the construction of the Clare City Hall Building. The downtown as a whole prospered until the 1960s, when the freeway bypassed the city. However, despite economic struggles, the downtown area has retained a substantial amount of business activity.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Clare Downtown Historic District is located in the commercial center of the city, along four blocks of North McEwan Street with adjacent portions of East and West Fourth and Fifth Streets. There are 51 buildings in the district, along with two additional structures and two other sites. Construction dates of the buildings range from 1873 to 2000; most are two stories, but heights range from one to four stories. The buildings are predominantly Neoclassical and Commercial Brick, with some Late Victorian, Mid-century modern, and later 20th century architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>The southernmost portion of the district, on McEwen just south of the railroad tracks, includes a large elevator building. North of this, the heart of the district runs along McEwen between Third Street (where the railroad also crosses McEwen) and Sixth Street. The buildings along these three blocks are nearly all one- and two-story commercial buildings, standing side-by-side and fronting directly on the sidewalk. On the corner of McEwen and Fifth stands the Doherty Hotel, built in 1924, and the only four-story structure in the district. The original Doherty Hotel, along with its associated parking lot and modern addition, occupies the entire city block between Fifth and Sixth and between McEwen and Pine. North of the district, along McEwen, sits a large modern hospital complex.</p><br>
<p>The district extends in both directions along Fifth Street. To the east, it includes the 1882 Herrick House, and upright-and-wing house now converted to commercial purposes. To the west, the district extends to encompass the US Post Office, Clare City Hall, and Clare Congregational Church (the last being independently listed in the National Register). The district also extends west along Fourth Street to encompass a group of commercial buildings.</p><br>

<p>The Whittier House is a historic house on Greenbanks Hollow Road in Danville, Vermont. Built in 1785, it is significant as one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and as an example of a gambrel-roofed Cape, a style rare in northern Vermont but common to Essex County, Massachusetts, where its builder was from. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whittier House stands in a rural area of southern Danville, on the west side of Greenbanks Hollow Road a short way north of the Greenbanks Hollow Covered Bridge. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with plain cornerboards and a narrow frieze. The center entrance has a Georgian surround, with sidelight windows and pilasters beneath a corniced entablature. The interior retains many features original to its period of construction, although its original large central chimney was replaced early in the 19th century. It follows a typical Georgian central chimney plan, with a narrow entry vestibule with winding stair, and parlor spaces on either side. These are noteworthy for the Georgian paneling on the end walls. At the time of its National Register listing in 1984, it lacked all modern amenities, including plumbing and electricity.</p><br>
<p>David Whittier, the builder of this house, was one of the first settlers of Danville, who was granted 200 acre in 1786. Whittier was from Methuen, Massachusetts, and likely styled this house after a form common to northeastern Massachusetts from the late 17th to mid-18th century. The gambrel roof form gave the upper level additional space, and conveyed a sense prosperity amid more conventionally built gabled Capes that were more common in northern Vermont. Greenbanks Hollow, where he built, was for some years a small thriving community, with a sawmill and gristmill. The mills burned in the late 19th century, leaving little more than foundations nearby.</p><br>
<p>The Jabez Bacon House is a historic house on Hollow Road in Woodbury, Connecticut. Built in 1760 for a prominent regional merchant, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The stands near the southern end of Woodbury&#39;s main village, on the north side of Hollow Road between Sycamore and Main Streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a dormered gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide, with a slightly overhanging second story. The front entry is centered, with a reproduction surround consisting of flanking pilasters and a pedimented gable above. The three roof dormers also exhibit full pediments. The interior of the house follows a typical Georgian central chimney plan, but has a wider than usual entry vestibule with staircase. The interior retains original paneled wall finishes, and many rooms have original flooring. The living room includes a period cabinet, and the chimney includes two surviving period ovens.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1760 by Roswell Moore, a prominent local carpenter. He built it for Jabez Bacon, a merchant and banker who operated a store next door, and sent traders as far west as present-day Ohio. It was later acquired by Daniel Curtiss, who also operated a merchant business. Curtiss notably trained as a salesman Collis Potter Huntington, who later became prominent for his role in construction of the transcontinental railway.</p><br>
<p>The Corinth Depot, also known as the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Depot, is located at 221 North Fillmore Street in Corinth, Mississippi. Built circa 1917, the depot is the home of the Crossroads Museum. It is a contributing property to the Downtown Corinth Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. In 1995, the depot was designated a Mississippi Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1857, a parcel of land in Corinth was dedicated for construction of a depot where two railroads (the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio) intersected. Because of this railroad junction, control of Corinth was of strategic importance during the American Civil War, which led to the Siege of Corinth and later the Second Battle of Corinth.</p><br>
<p>The present structure is the third depot to be constructed on the site. The depot is a one-story, wood-frame building with a V-shaped floor plan, designed to accommodate the intersection of the two railways. The exterior walls have stucco veneer with brick wainscot. The two railways had separate brick portico entrances into the depot. Passengers, that arrived for departure, entered the depot on the opposite side of the building, in the crook of the V.</p><br>
<p>The depot received its greatest usage during the 1930s and 1940s, when it served dozens of passenger trains. In 2007, the depot became the home for the Corinth Crossroads Museum with displays of Civil War artifacts, historic photographs, industrial items, and railroad souvenirs.</p><br>

The buildings, located at 134 South Main Street and 214 State Street, are on opposite sides of Second Street. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Driver immigrated to Racine from Orkney in 1854. Driver first established his manufacturing business in Racine in 1867. He purchased the factory owned by the architect Lucas Bradley, at which he had previously worked. This factory had existed at Sixth and Campbell (now Grand Avenue) Streets since the 1840s, but burned down on January 17, 1870. The first building on the present site was built at State Street shortly after the fire. The currently surviving warehouse north of Second Street was built in 1882. The original 1870 building was struck by fire in 1896, and it was rebuilt in its present form within the year. Thomas Driver died in 1899, and the operations of his company were taken over by his son, Sinclair, who ran the business until it closed in 1917.</p><br>
<p>After the Driver company closed, the buildings were sold to Western Publishing. The Main Street building was occupied by an auto supply store for much of the 20th century until its closure in the 1980s. The idea of converting the vacant building to hold dozens of apartments was first proposed in 1990, and Belle Harbor Lofts opened in the building in 2002. Today, the State Street building houses a print shop that opened in 1989, and a liquor store that opened in 2014.</p><br>
<p>West Eleventh Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Its name comes from its historical association with the former West Eleventh Street Elevator, a funicular that was similar to the Fenelon Place Elevator to the south. For the most part the historic buildings here are single-family residences with their attendant out-buildings, although the number of out-buildings located here is relatively low. There is one apartment building and 46 duplexes. Some of the single-family houses were converted into multi-family residences, and then some of those were converted back. The various Victorian styles are found along the bluff fronts on the eastern and southern edge of the district, and vernacular structures on the northern and western sections. The Charles T. Hancock House  was individually listed on the National Register. Given the steep bluffs in the district the historic structures are retaining walls and steps that replace the sidewalks.</p><br>

<p>Washington Street and East 22nd Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The focus of this district is a cluster of brick buildings around the intersection of Washington and East 22nd Streets on the north side of Dubuque. Its location west of the former Chicago Great Western Railway and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad yards led to a large percentage of the residents here to be higher ranking railroad employees. The historic buildings are brick and frame houses, with the exception of one brick storefront/residence. Most of the houses are front or side gabled vernacular structures, and a few that are Italianate or Classical Revival. Couler Creek, which was located behind the houses on the east side of Washington Street, also affected the development of this area. There is no alley behind the houses on the east side of Washington. Flooding was also a major problem in this area until the creek was covered in a stone-arched sewer and continues to flow under ground.</p><br>
<p>Upper Main Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
