<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Isaac Lawrence House is located just south of the village center of Canaan (not to be confused with the town of Canaan further south), on the west side of Elm Street (United States Route 7) just north of its crossing of the Blackberry River. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The front facade faces east to the street, and is symmetrical, with a central entrance sheltered by a gable-roofed enclosed vestibule. The interior follows a center chimney plan, with the entry area including a winding paneled staircase, and parlors to either side of the chimney. The original kitchen extends behind the chimney, with a large fireplace and beehive oven. These rooms and others retain original woodwork.</p><br>
<p>North Canaan, originally part of the town of Canaan, was settled in the 1730s. Isaac Lawrence was among the first wave of settlers, and built this house in 1751. In addition to farming, Lawrence operated a tavern out of the house, where many local meetings were held. The opening of the Hartford-Albany Turnpike (United States Route 44, just to the north) in 1800 brought the tavern increased business. As of the propertys 1983 listing on the National Register, it was still in the hands of Lawrences descendants. Archaeological excavations conducted on the property in 1979 and 1980 established the presence of well-stratified historic artifacts from the period of initial settlement.</p><br>

<p>The Sigma Sigma–Delta Chi Fraternity House, also known as the Iowa House, is a historic building in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is located at 405 Hayward Drive. It was bulit and used as a fraternity chapter house for more than eighty years and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sigma Sigma was a local fraternity founded sometime between 1907 and 1913 at what was then called Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa. It grew in size and attempted to become a national fraternity beginning in the 1920s. The charter became constructing a new chapter house on the Ames campus.</p><br>
<p>The fraternity went dormant while they built this building, but they reformed by 1927. At that time, their chapter house was valued at $35,000 ($ in today&#39;s money).</p><br>
<p>They merged with the national fraternity Delta Chi in 1933. This merger gives the building its name Sigma Sigma-Delta Chi Fraternity House. The chapter remained active at the renamed Iowa State University until 2001 when membership declined significantly and it became inactive.</p><br>
<p>Delta Chi sold the building in 2006. The structure underwent a major renovation between 2007 and 2008. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>

There are also wide eaves with exposed beams. A porte-cochère is located on the north side of the building facing Knapp Avenue, which is a unique feature among the historic fraternity and sorority houses associated with Iowa State University.</p><br>
<p>The Braastad–Gossard Building, also known as the Gossard Building or Pioneer Square, is a commercial building located at 308 Cleveland Avenue in Ishpeming, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frederick Braastad was born in 1847 in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. He clerked in a store for five years before emigrating to the United States and settling in Marquette, Michigan in 1868. He moved around, clerking at other stores, before settling permanently in Ishpeming in 1873. He eventually opened his own meat market and general store in about 1877, at first with a series of partners, but eventually on his own.</p><br>
<p>In 1888, Braastad built a new two-story building, which forms the western part of the current structure, on this site. He moved his dry goods store into the new building. By 1903, Braastad was selling clothing, dry goods, groceries, and furniture out of the building. In 1903, Braastad hired builder J. Wahlman & Son to construct a three-story addition to the east side of the 1888 building. When that was completed, the same builder remodeled and reconstructed the original building, altering the facade and adding an additional floor to the top to bring it in line with the addition. The remodeling was completed in 1904.</p><br>
<p>Frederick Braastad died in 1917, and the store that bore his name declined, discontinuing grocery sales in 1919 and dry goods shortly after. It sold furniture into the 1920s, but went out of business sometime before 1925.</p><br>
<p>However, as the Braastad store declined, the building was being put to other uses. The city of Ishpeming purchased the building in 1920, specifically to entice a manufacturing firm into the city. The H. W. Gossard Company, manufacturer of corsets and brassieres, moved into the two upper floors of the building in April 1920. The Gossard plant began with about 75 workers, but slowly increased in size to about 500 workers in 1939, continuing operations even through the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1940s, the plant had over 600 workers, and remodeled the building to provide more space by raising the sloped roof and adding another floor atop the existing structure. In 1949, the workers at the Gossard plant struck for higher wages. The strike lasted almost 4 months, and resulted in roughly 5 to 10 cent per hour wage increases and a union shop. Employment at the plant in the mid 1950s at 650 workers, and then declined. Gossard closed the plant in 1976, with fewer than 200 workers employed.</p><br>
<p>After the Gossard plant closed, a local nonprofit group purchased and redeveloped the building to include a mixed-use development with retail on the first floor, renaming the building "Pioneer Square." In 1985, a new developer, Paul Arsenault, purchased the building. After 37 years of ownership and restoration by Arsenault, the building was acquired by Snowbelt Development in 2023. The group of local developers remain the owner of what now is the "Gossard Building."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Braastad–Gossard Building is a four-story painted red sandstone-trimmed brick building. The building has a 150-foot long main facade facing Cleveland Street, which is divided into six three-window wide bays by raised piers. The piers terminate at a brick frieze spanning the building&#39;s width. Rock-face sandstone beltcourses also span the building at the second and third-story window-lintel levels. The primary entrance, added in 1948, is in the third bay from the west end. An older entrance at the far left is outlined by original rock-face sandstone piers. The windows are generally in groups of three square-head window openings in the first three stories within each of the six bays. The ground-level sets have a slightly wider central window. Two low horizontal windows with clear glass centers are oat the fourth floor level.</p><br>
<p>The side of the building facing Second Street and the rear facade contain square-head double-hung windows with sandstone slab sills and low segmental arches, but lack the raised piers found in the front. The remaining side of the building has no windows. A one-story flat-roof brick garage is located at the rear.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building is divided in half by a two-foot thick brick fire wall, which was the east wall of the 1888 part of the building. A fire door is located at a single opening on each floor. The maple floors remain in place throughout the building, and some of the ornamental pressed metal paneling installed on walls and ceiling during the 1903-04 remodeling still remains. The first floor has been renovated into an interior mall with office and shop spaces. The second and third stories have been renovated into office lease spaces of various sizes. The fourth floor is unused except for some storage.</p><br>
<p>The Barkhamsted Lighthouse was a historical community located in what is now Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. Set on a terrace above the eastern bank of the West Branch Farmington River, it was in the 18th and 19th centuries a small village of economically marginalized mixed Native American, African American, and white residents. It was given the name "lighthouse" because its lights acted as a beacon marking the north–south stage road that paralleled the river. The archaeological remains of the village site were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as Lighthouse Archeological Site .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area known as the Lighthouse had its beginnings in the mid-18th century with the purchase of land by James Chaugham and later his son Samuel, a Narragansett from Block Island. Chaugham was said in early accounts of the community to have married Molly (or Mary) Barber, a white woman whose early life is absent from historical documents. The property was located in a rugged area of northern Connecticut that was then wilderness, with an old Native American trail running along the river. When this trail was improved into a stagecoach route in the late 18th century, the small settlement was dubbed the "lighthouse" by southbound coach drivers, as its lights indicated that the coach was nearing New Hartford, a few miles to the south. The community was eventually abandoned in the 1860s, its residents apparently moving to seek better economic opportunities.</p><br>
<p>The first organized history of the community was written in 1952 by Lewis Sprague Mills, a local educator and historian. Archaeological investigations of the site were first conducted on the settlement site in 1986 by Kenneth Feder. The site is located on a terrace on the shoulder of Ragged Mountain, a hill in Peoples State Forest. Excavations have uncovered foundational remains of ten buildings, four charcoal kilns, a well, and a small cemetery. Stone for the building foundations was apparently quarried directly nearby. None of the surviving elements give any indication of having been built using dimensional lumber that was used in more conventional communities. Also found at the site were quantities of typical household items, including a large number of ceramic fragments.</p><br>
<p>The site is accessible via a short hiking trail from East River Road in Peoples State Forest, and has been designated a state archaeological site.</p><br>
<p>The Shanaska Creek Bridge, also called Washington Park Bridge and officially Bridge 4846, is an iron 8 panel pin-connected Pratt through truss bridge which was erected in 1875 over the Blue Earth River in the USA State of Minnesota and moved twice since. It was built near Vernon Center, Minnesota by Soulerin, James, and Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, it was placed over Minnesota State Highway 22 to carry Le Sueur County Road 102. when it was listed at that location on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>It was moved again in 1984 to its present location where it carries a hiking and bicycle path over Shanaska Creek in Lake Washington Park near Kasota, Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, Randy Walker covered the bridge in colorful fabric to create a temporary art installation called Passage.</p><br>
<p>Vincent Lugo Park is the largest park in the city of San Gabriel, California, United States. Park grounds include lighted youth baseball diamond, youth multi-purpose athletic field, Laguna de San Gabriel Nautical  Playground, picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms and the Girl Scout House.</p><br>
<h2>La Laguna</h2><br>
<p>One feature of Vincent Lugo Park is a children&#39;s playground, sometimes referred to as "La Laguna de San Gabriel" or "Monster Park." La Laguna was created by Mexican-American artist Benjamin Dominguez. The park’s play structures include 14 "friendly looking cement sea creatures rising out of the sand for children to play on." The sand-filled lagoon includes Minnie the whale, Stella the starfish, Ozzie the octopus, and Flipper, Speedy and Peanut, three colorful dolphins. The playground was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Park History</h2><br>
<p>In 1965, Vincent Lugo was parks supervisor for the City of San Gabriel, and was chiefly responsible for converting a city landfill into the San Gabriel Municipal Park – lauded for transforming trash into beauty. Because of his contributions to San Gabriel as a city employee for over 30 years, and because of his vision to beautify those nine acres of city dump, Vincent Lugo was remembered in a 1988 re-dedication of Municipal Park, which was renamed Vincent Lugo Park in his honor.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, city park renovation plans sought to demolish the structures, deeming them safety hazards. But in the years since, locals organized as the Friends of La Laguna have fought for the playground’s preservation and renovation.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, Friends of La Laguna commissioned a. This assessment was funded through a Third Round California Cultural and Historic Endowment Grant and funding from the Annenberg Foundation. The assessment was honored with awards from the LA Conservancy and the California Preservation Foundation in 2009.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, La Laguna playground was successfully nominated to the California Register of Historic Places. It was also designated a local landmark for the City of San Gabriel.</p><br>
<p>The park was closed for renovation for almost 18 months in 2011-2012.</p><br>
<p>As a result of the work of the Friends of La Laguna, the State Historic Resources Commission nominated the playground for the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. “It is historic,” said City Manager Steve Preston in a statement. “It is a cultural landscape, and it is an active, living playground.”</p><br>
<p>The Hillside Home School II was originally designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1901 for his aunts Jane and Ellen C. Lloyd Jones in the town of Wyoming, Wisconsin . The Lloyd Jones sisters commissioned the building to provide classrooms for their school, also known as the Hillside Home School. The Hillside Home School structure is on the Taliesin estate, which was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. There are four other Wright-designed buildings on the estate : the Romeo and Juliet Windmill tower, Tan-y-Deri, Midway Barn, and Wright&#39;s home, Taliesin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hillside Home School institution was a nonsectarian, coeducational, day and boarding school for children from first through twelfth grade (Wright would start his home, Taliesin north of the school, 10 years later, in 1911). This structure was the third building he would design for his aunts. He designed the first building, Hillside Home School I, in 1887, and the second one, Romeo and Juliet Windmill Tower, in 1896.</p><br>
<p>The Weekly Home News (Spring Green&#39;s newspaper) reported on October 17, 1901, that: "Owing to the increased attendance, the principals have decided to build a new schoolhouse. The plans have been drawn and sent from the studio of Frank Ll. Wright, architect, Chicago, and work upon the construction will begin at once." The "Home News" then reported on February 19, 1903, that the building would be complete by "the last day of April".</p><br>
<p>The Hillside Home School institution ran from 1887 until 1915. Educator Mary Ellen Chase taught at the Hillside Home School for three years in the beginning of her career (1910–1913). She later wrote about her experiences in the book, The Goodly Fellowship:I suppose that the Hillside Home School were it existing today as it was existing in 1909, would be termed a progressive school by all the supporters and disciples of such institutions. Yet the charm and value of Hillside lay in the fact that it did not standoff and gaze complacently at itself as a pioneer in the new education. In other words, it lacked the self-consciousness as well as the self-righteousness of certain of our modern experiments in child growth instead of child discipline... It was simply a school, a home, and a farm all in one....Jane and Ellen Lloyd Jones closed the school in 1915, and the grounds were purchased by Frank Lloyd Wright, who wrote about the "acute financial distress" of the Lloyd Jones sisters and their school:There seemed no way out; no one to help. So I did. To "pay up" and give them a little rest—rest so much needed but which no one, least of all myself, believed they knew how to take. They wanted to turn everything over to me, asking me to promise that their work would continue. I promised.</p><br>
<p>That promise comforted them.</p><br>
<h2>Taliesin Fellowship</h2><br>
<p>In 1932, Wright was able to use the Hillside Home School building for his newly established Taliesin Fellowship (now the School of Architecture at Taliesin). He and his apprentices in the Fellowship converted the old gymnasium on the west side of the original Hillside Home School structure into a theater. On the north end of the original Hillside Home School structure, he added a large drafting room with dormitories on either side (left). The original theater was re-designed and reconstructed after the original one was destroyed by fire in 1952 (rebuilt theater, lower left).</p><br>
<p>In 1941, architectural historian, Henry-Russell Hitchcock described the Hillside Home School building in his book, In the Nature of Materials:The construction is unusually solid for this period of Wrights work, comparing thus with the contemporary Heurtley house. The lower walls are of native rock-faced random ashlar, superbly laid and reminding one of the finest of Richardsons masonry. But the stone was light and flesh-colored and has remained so in this country environment so that the effect is not grim or even severe. The marked batter of the pavilion walls serves to centralize and concentrate their design. This batter was used on the Imperial Hotel fifteen years later. It also appears once more in the rough stone and concrete bases of Taliesin West, 1938, and the Pauson house, 1940, near Phoenix, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The drafting studio at Hillside became Wrights main Wisconsin studio after World War II. As a result, most of Wrights commissions and building designs were worked on in this studio while Wright was in Wisconsin in the summer. These designs include:</p><br>
<p>First Unitarian Society Meeting House</p><br>
<p>Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church</p><br>
<p>Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum</p><br>
<p>Price Tower</p><br>
<p>"The Illinois", a project for a mile-high building, in 1956.</p><br>
<p>In 2024, Frank Lloyd Wright&#39;s Hillside Theater in Wisconsin reopened after an extensive five-year restoration.The restoration included eliminating water seepage from underground, installing an HVAC system, and improving accessibility with new walkways. Other updates included repairs to the roof, exterior and interior finishes, restoration of the theater curtain and two major Asian bodhisattva sculptures.</p><br>
<p>The Melrose Heights–Oak Lawn–Fairview Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in eastern Columbia, South Carolina. It encompasses much of the neighborhood of Melrose Heights, and is formed out of three separate subdivisions that were developed as a streetcar suburb originally outside the city boundary in the first half of the 20th century. The district is about 155 acre in size, and has 607 contributing buildings, in many architectural styles popular in the first half of the 20th century. It is bounded on the east by Woodrow Street, the north by Gervais Street and Trenholm Road, the south by Millwood Avenue and Michigan Street, and the east by Butler and Princeton Streets and Maiden Lane. The area was originally farmland owned by members of the locally prominent Powell family. Although it features modest houses in a wide variety of styles, it has a particular concentration of "airplane" bungalow cottages.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Miller Brothers Cotton Warehouse is a historic cotton warehouse at 705 Gervais St. in Columbia, South Carolina. It is a low-profile single-story brick building, set at an angle to the street, in a city district historically occupied by many similar buildings. Built in 1872, its orientation is due to the presence of railroad tracks  on either side of the parcel. Its first major owners were the Miller Brothers, dealers in cotton; it has been used to house foodstuffs and electrical equipment in its long history of use.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Litchfield–South Roads Historic District encompasses part of the traditional town center of Harwinton, Connecticut. Settled in the second quarter of the 18th century, and centered at the junction of Connecticut Route 4 with North and South Roads, the town center includes a variety of mainly 19th century residential architecture, several churches, and municipal buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Harwinton was first settled in 1737, out of lands previously assigned to Hartford and Windsor. The town center arose on what is now Route 4, the main east-west route between Hartford and Litchfield, where it crosses a significant local north–south route (now North and South Roads). The town remained agricultural through the 19th century, its economy not industrialized due to a lack of railroad connections and suitable water resources. In the early 20th century, it joined the trend of other communities in northwestern Connecticut in the rise of second homes for city dwellers. One of these, William McConway of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, had a series of fine quarry-stone walls built along South Road.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly T-shaped, extending along Route 4 (Litchfield Road west of the main junction, Burlington Road east of it) between Birge Park Road and Harwinton Heights Road. It extends south on South Road to Village Lane. Most of its buildings are residential, set with ample spacing and setback from the roads. There are four churches in the district, as well as the site of the town&#39;s first cemetery and meetinghouse; the latter was set directly in the central junction. Most of the buildings in the district date to the 19th century, although the Classical Revival library is early 20th century, and the Congregational Church is a simplified recreation of an 1808 sanctuary which burned in 1949. The only significant modern buildings are associated with the Roman Catholic church complex at the western end of the district.</p><br>
<p>The Farmer&#39;s Union Building in Layton, Utah, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by local architect William Allen. It is a two-story roughly square building now, built in three sections (in 1890, in a year soon after that, and in 1930).</p><br>
<p>The building was deemed significant for NRHP listing for it having housed the Farmers Union Mercantile Institution, which was the first commercial enterprise in Layton. The building served as Laytons "primary meeting hall, social center, and recreational facility."</p><br>
<p>The building replaced the original Kaysville Farmers Union, General Mercantile Store, located at 12 South Main Street. The original building being a small frame store building that was originally built in Kaysville then later moved. The Farmers Union was incorporated in 1909, E.P. Ellison as manager. The Farmers Union served as a bank and post office during the early days of Layton City, but was deemed unsafe after the murder of Mr. Sandall, the night watchman, on March 24, 1898. The Farmers Union closed in 1957. Cannery Sales and Grocery leased the building and later Family Furniture used the space. Note the Colored TV Sale poster in the 1978 photo.</p><br>
<p>The Springboro Historic District in Springboro, Ohio is a 50 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Springboro Universalist Church or "Old Stone Church", at 300 South Main Street in the district, was built in 1905. Its congregation disbanded in the 1950s. The church building was in use by South Dayton Church of Christ in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Low House is a historic house on Laurel Way Extension in Norfolk, Connecticut. Built in 1920, it is a local example of Georgian Revival architecture, designed by the New York architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor.

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Low House stands in a small residential area east of Norfolk&#39;s village center, down a private lane extending south from Laurel Way Extension. It consists of two rectangular -story wood-frame structures in the Georgian style, joined at right angles at one corner. Each section is covered by a gabled roof and is finished in wooden shingles. The facades are adorned with pilasters at regular intervals, and there are modillion blocks in the eaves. A single-story porch in the shape of a circle segment is located at the crook of the L, supported by paired round columns. Another open porch extends behind the western section.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1920 for the Low family, who were friends with the Nobles who lived next door. Taylor was known to the Nobles, and designed their house as well. Both houses are finely detailed examples of Taylor&#39;s application of the Georgian Revival to modern housing demands.</p><br>
<p>The Caleb Martin House is a historic house at 42 Mill Pond Road in Bethlehem, Connecticut. With its oldest portion dating to 1730, it is one of the community&#39;s oldest buildings, exhibiting a wealth of construction detail through its 18th-century transformation from a small single-pile house to a full saltbox. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Caleb Martin House stands on 57 acre southwest of the village center of Bethlehem, at the end of Mill Pond Road, a short street off Connecticut Route 132. It is set east of the Mill Pond, an old impoundment on the Weekeepeemee River. It is a -story timber-framed structure, with a side gable roof, large off-center chimney, clapboarded exterior, and rubblestone foundation. The house has a saltbox profile, with the rear roof extending down to the first floor. The second floor hangs over the first in front, as does the main roof over the second floor. The interior follows a typical Georgian center chimney plan, with a small front vestibule that includes a narrow winding stair, and parlor spaces on either side of the chimney. The kitchen extends across the rear of the main block, with a large fireplace and beehive oven; a second oven is also found in the basement level of the chimney.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, built in 1730, is a three-bay section with the main chimney. By 1745 the house had been extended to include the full five-bay facade and the leanto section in the rear. Although the house has since been extended by additions in the late 19th and 20th centuries, the main block has been well cared for, retaining either original materials or carefully matched replacements. Also of note is that the house stands on land that is substantially the same as its original 1724 land grant; only a few acres have been subdivided from it. Caleb Martin, the house&#39;s original builder, was a descendant of the original proprietors of Woodbury, of which Bethlehem was a part until 1787.</p><br>
<p>Wilmarth School is a school building in Ashland, Wisconsin which was built in 1891. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is noted for its architecture&mdash;the design of Henry Wildhagen&mdash;which is of the 19th- and 20th-century revival styles.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story-plus-basement cream brick and brownstone building. It has a center "chisel-roof" tower containing the front entrance, which has a Palladian-like sidelights and stairlight. It has a stone panel with the school&#39;s name and three windows over a center arch. It has two large cream brick chimneys with corbelled caps and a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>Wildhagen also designed three other schools in Ashland, also NRHP-listed: Ashland Middle School (1904), Beaser School (1899), and Ellis School (1900).</p><br>
<p>The Gabriel Richard Building, also known as the Weil and Company Building, is high-rise located at 305 Michigan Avenue in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1897, Moe C Weil moved from Cincinnati to Detroit and opened a furniture store known as Weil and Company. Their first store was downtown on Woodward Avenue. In 1914, Weil entered into an agreement with David Stott and the Stott Realty Company to lease this building, which Stott would construct specifically for their use. Stott hired the Chicago architecture firm of Marshall & Fox to design the building. Construction began in 1914, and was completed in 1915. Weil and Company opened their new store in this building in November 1915. The Stott Realty Company retained ownership, with Weil leasing the building.</p><br>
<p>Moe Weil died in 1920, leaving the store to his wife Hattie. Hattie died in 1930 and left the company to her son Victor and daughter Florence, with the stipulation that Victor continue to run the business. Victor, however, died in 1943 while serving in the United States Air Corps, and Weil and Company soon went out of business.</p><br>
<p>In 1945, the Stott Realty Company sold the building to the nearby St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church. The church renamed the building the Gabriel Richard Building, after pioneering Detroiter Father Gabriel Richard. In 1948, the church turned the building over to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit for use as offices. The church was in an expansion phase after World War II, growing from 800,000 Catholics in 1945 to 1.3 million in 1960. The Catholic Family Center was one of the first organizations located in the Gabriel Richard building, and much of the remainder of the building was leased to other secular tenants, including a credit association, law office, and Michigan Bell Telephone. As the Archdiocese grew, the number of Catholic offices in the building increased until by 1968 the Archdiocese occupied all of the upper floors, including the Parish Life and Services Department, Christian Services Department, Catholic Youth Organization, the Communications Department, and the Information Technology Department.</p><br>
<p>However, the number of Catholics declined starting in the 1970s, and in 2015 the Archdiocese moved its offices to a smaller building and sold the Gabriel Richard Building. Developer Joe Barbat purchased the building. Barbat plans to undertake a $6.5 million renovation to turn the building into about 110 multifamily residential units. The building will open as a residential apartment building known as the &#39;Gabriel Houze in late 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gabriel Richard Building is a ten-and-a-half-story tall Chicago Style commercial building with Classical Revival decorative elements. The building is clad with white terra cotta, and has a tripartite overall design, with a two-and-a-half-story tall base, a six-story tall main section, and a two-story tall top with surmounting parapet wall. The building faces two main streets: Michigan Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The main facades are three and five bays wide, with bays separated by vertical piers and triple window openings on each floor. The facades have identical terra cotta Classical Revival decorations such as garlands egg and dart molding and keystones.</p><br>
<p>The two-and-a-half-story tall base of the building contains one-and-a-half-story tall storefronts with newer aluminum and glass-framed windows installed and canopies overhead. The center bay on the Michigan Avenue side has a projecting cornice across the top of the storefront opening. The right-hand bay contains the entrance to the upper floors, with another building entrance in the left-hand bay. The Washington Avenue elevation also has entryways in the left- and right-hand bays. The second floor above the storefronts on each side contains three one-over-one double-hung windows.</p><br>
<p>The central six-story section of the building is demarcated by projecting bands at the sill lines of the third and ninth floor windows. The eighth-floor window openings have segmental-arch heads which emphasize the top of the section. The top two floors contain more decorative elements. The piers between the bays contain a raised vertical line of flowers down the center of the pier. The top of the building is decorated with wave and egg and dart molding. The piers end in a terra cotta merlon extending above the wall.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building has been remodeled multiple times. The first floor contains commercial spaces and an entrance lobby to the upper floors. The lobby has marble tile floors and wainscot with painted walls above. The upper floors contain corridors with offices. The basement contains an unused staircase with a small section of metal railing supported by fluted newel posts resembling classical columns which is apparently original to the building.</p><br>
<p>The Walnut Grove Japanese-American Historic District is a 5 acre designated USA Historic District in Walnut Grove, California. The bulk of Walnut Groves Japantown was built in 1915–16 following the 1915 fire which destroyed Walnut Groves Chinatown. Japantown was depopulated during the forced incarceration of Japanese and Japanese-Americans following the issuance of Executive Order 9066 in 1942, and was re-filled by Filipino and Mexican laborers, who took over work in local orchards and farms during the war. Although the original residents returned to Walnut Grove following the end of World War II, most left within a few years, and the district, with some exceptions, to this day retains the original architecture and style dating back to the 1916 reconstruction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, the pace of immigration from Japan increased rapidly. In Walnut Grove, the first Japanese-owned business (a noodle shop) was started in 1896 to serve local immigrants. The local Japanese immigrants called the area around Walnut Grove Kawashimo ("downriver"), in reference to travel through the Sacramento Delta area. The earliest Japantown in Walnut Grove was established in the northern section of the existing Walnut Grove Chinatown. On October 7, 1915, fire swept through the Chinatown district in Walnut Grove, including Japantown, and shifting winds were credited with confining the damage to the Dye Brothers-owned "Oriental quarter" and not destroying the remainder of the town.</p><br>
<p>Local residents of Japanese ancestry rebuilt Kawashimo one block north in 1916, on land owned by Alex Brown, a prominent local landowner and banker. Unlike other local nihonmachi, Asians were credited with designing and building the new Kawashimo, During the 1920s, Kawashimo developed into a local hub for Japanese residents in the Sacramento River Delta area, with its commercial district serving over 100 local families by the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>Nearly 400 American-born children lived in the area by 1920, with some attending a local Japanese language school; California allowed the establishment of segregated schools in 1921, legitimizing the development of "Oriental Schools" in Florin, Courtland, Isleton, and Walnut Grove. Schools were not officially desegregated until 1947.</p><br>
<p>The district was forcibly depopulated in the wake of Executive Order 9066 and repopulated with Filipino and Mexican laborers during World War II. Three buildings were destroyed by fire during the war and not replaced, and some of those sites later hosted community gardens. After the end of the war, many of the original residents returned but most did not remain in Walnut Grove, attracted by opportunities in nearby cities. Several businesses remained under the ownership and operation of their founding families as of 1990, including Kawamura Barber Shop and Hayashi Market. The historic district remains architecturally accurate to period photographs dating from the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Mead Camp is a historic summer house on the shore of Doolittle Lake in northeastern Norfolk, Connecticut. It was built in 1930 to a design by New York architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor, and is one of the most substantial of his summer house designs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mead Camp is located at the southwestern end of Doolittle Lake, an exclusive summer retreat area in rural northeastern Norfolk. Tower Hill Road, a private lane, provides access to this and several other private summer properties that face the lake. The Mead Camp main house is a -story structure, finished in stone and stucco. It is oriented with its long side facing the lake, and has a main block with a series of extensions to the south that reduce in width and height, ending in a covered porch with stone posts. Its most distinctive feature is a three-story stone tower, with a hip roof topped by a pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the camp stands was originally part of a large landholding of the Benedict family, prominent farmers in northern Norfolk. In the late 19th century this area began to be developed as a summer resort area after the railroad arrived in Norfolk in 1871, and Doolittle Lake was developed as a colony of exclusive private retreats. This camp was built in 1930 for Grace Hartley Jenkins Mead, a philanthropist and trustee emeritus of Columbia University&#39;s Teachers College to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, an architect based in New York City who summered in Norfolk. Taylor is credited with the design of more than thirty distinctive buildings in Norfolk. He designed six camps in the Doolittle Lake area, of which this is one of the most substantial.</p><br>
<p>The Merritt Beach & Son Building is a historic commercial building at 30 Bridge Street in New Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1873, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving commercial buildings. It was built for Merritt Beach & Son, a lumber and hardware merchant that is one of its oldest continuously operating businesses . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Merritt Beach & Son Building stands just outside New Milfords main downtown business district, on the west side of railroad tracks and the south side of Bridge Street (United States Routes 7 and 202). It is a three-story brick building with Italianate styling. Its front facade is five bays wide, with a gap between the right two bays and those to the left. Windows on the upper floors are topped by bracketed segmented-arch hoods, and a single-story porch flat-roof porch extends across the first floor, supported by square posts with simple balustrades between. An elaborate bracketed and dentillated cornice crowns the building. To the main blocks rear area series of additions that are mainly lumber sheds that have been readapted for other uses.</p><br>
<p>The firm of Canfield and Beach began business in New Milford in 1857 as a lumber concern. After Canfield withdrew from the business in 1866, it was run by a succession of members of the Beach and Barlow families, and was in 1992 the town&#39;s oldest continuously operating business. It built this building in 1873 to house its hardware store, a tobacco storage warehouse on the second floor, and a public meeting hall on the third. The firm operated on these premises until 1977. It is the only surviving commercial building from that period to survive in the town.</p><br>
<p>Bandshell Park, also known as City Park and Music Pavilion, is located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is a nationally recognized historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The park, located to the east of the central business district, was gift to the city in 1884 from the C&NW Land Company. The full city block was the first park established in Ames.</p><br>
<p>The first bandstand was the wooden structure that was built at the end of the 19th century. It was replaced by the present band shell in 1935. The Modern Movement structure was designed by Grover M. Pratt, an architect who was also a member of the faculty at Iowa State College. The contractor was Fred Fisher of Ames, and J. R. Jones constructed the copper roof. Other historic resources in the park include a concrete bench (c. 1935), the pedestrian paths, and a vehicular drive that serves the band shell. There is also a playground apparatus in the park, but because of its more recent construction it is not considered a historic object.</p><br>
<p>Old Town Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The district is a residential area located north of the central business district. Between the two is a "civic corridor" made up of government buildings, churches and fraternal organizations. The earlier residences here were built of brick, but from about 1890 to 1910 they are all of wood construction. Brick reappears in 1910, but as a secondary building material. The houses are from one to two stories in height. They reflect the Late Victorian styles as well as the Colonial Revival styles of the early 20th century. The houses generally have a detached garage behind the house, facing an alley. The Prof. J.L. Budd, Sarah M., and Etta Budd House  is individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses are single-family, but a few have been converted to multi-family dwellings. There are also nine apartment buildings and a condominium building located here. All date from the 1960s onward, and do not contribute to the historic nature of the district. They are generally two to three stories tall, but the tallest is five stories. They are large boxy buildings, except the most recent one (1997), which reflects the district&#39;s architectural heritage. First Church of Christ Scientist, a frame structure built in 1938, is also a contributing property in the district.</p><br>
<p>The Laboratory of Mechanics, formerly known as Engineering Hall, is a historic building on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, United States. The two-story, brick structure with a mansard roof is a simplified version of the Second Empire style. It features a three-story tower with a mansard roof at the main entry. The original building was L-shaped, designed by J.B. Ballinger, and built by V. Tomlinson. Its first addition was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Foster & Liebbe, and completed in 1885 by Tomlinson. Other additions were completed in 1933 and 1997.</p><br>
<p>The building originally housed Iowa State Agricultural Colleges Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. It was remodeled into a laboratory building in 1907. The building currently houses the Architecture Department, Engineering Administration, Faculty Senate, IT Services CIO, and Mechanical Engineering. Its historical significance is derived from its being the universitys first engineering building and its survival as the oldest instructional building on campus. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Food Sciences Building, formerly known as Dairy Industry Building, is a historic building on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, United States. The two-story, Bedford stone structure was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson & Souers. J. and W. A. Elliott Construction completed it in 1928. Additions to the original building were completed in 1962, 1991, and 1993. It was listed, along with its courtyard sculptures, on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Christian Petersen Courtyard Sculptures</h2><br>
<p>The building itself is not as significant as the Depression era artwork contained within it. Christian Petersen, a Danish immigrant, designed and completed the nine bas reliefs from 1934 to 1935 as part of the Public Works of Art Project (PWPA). Two plaster-cast panels are located in the foyer. One depicts a woman from biblical times churning butter in a goatskin bag hung from a tree, and the other depicts an American pioneer women using a dash churn, an early American invention. They were completed in 1934.</p><br>
<p>The seven courtyard bas reliefs were designed in an Iowa City workshop, and the terra cotta panels were created using a kiln designed by Paul E. Cox, a professor of ceramic engineering at what was then Iowa State College. The use of terra cotta for the panels was rare by the 1930s. The central panel depicts three Jersey cows and a bull located above the basin of a semicircular double-tiered fountain that flows into a reflecting pool. The panels on the left depict the early American era of hand milking, transporting the raw milk by wagon to the market, separating milk, and butter churning. The panels on the right depict the modern (1934) dairy plant at Iowa State. They include scenes of mechanical milking machines, a "Babcock" testing machine and a power centrifugal separator, and equipment for present-day pasteurizing, cooling, and cheesemaking. Professor Martin Mortensen, who was the head of the Dairy Industry department, assisted with the portrayal of dairy technology. Professor Maurice Hanson of the landscape architecture department designed the gravel walkways and plantings in the courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The PWPA in Iowa was directed by the regionalist painter Grant Wood. Petersen was the only sculptor in the Iowa program. He became the sculptor-in-residence at the university, and his art is found mainly in Iowa. The sculptures themselves are rare examples of federally subsidized art on a Midwestern college campus. PWPA sculptures are generally found in large cities on both the east and west coasts.</p><br>
<p>The Merwinsville Hotel is a historic hotel building and former railroad station at 1 Brown&#39;s Forge Road in the Gaylordsville village of New Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1842-43, it is one of the oldest hotels built specifically for a railroad stop in the United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Merwinsville Hotel is located in far northwestern New Milford, on the east side of the village of Gaylordville. It is set at the northwest corner of Browns Forge Road and Station Road, and immediately east of the railroad tracks of the Housatonic Railroad. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main block is flanked by a two-story wing with shed roof on the south side. The track-facing facade has a two-story porch with latticework railing, wrapping around to the buildings north side. There are street-facing entrances near the center of the main block, and at the end of the ell.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was the inspired idea of a local entrepreneur, Sylvanus Merwin. Upon learning in 1842 that the Housatonic Railroad would be routed through the area, he purchased up parcels of land that required it to cross land he controlled. He then negotiated with the railroad executives for the placement of the hotel, requiring that the train stop there for a meal, and that the station be named "Merwinville". The hotel was open for service in 1843, when the train service was inaugurated. Merwin then also became the station agent. The stipulations of the agreement remained in place until 1877, when faster trains and onboard meal service led to the elimination of the meal contract. In 1915, the railroad also terminated the station contract, building a new station to the south, and renaming the stop "Gaylordville". The hotel was purchased by a local family and used as a private residence into the 1940s. It then stood vacant and neglected until the 1970s, when a non-profit was established to restore the building. It is believed to be one of the nation&#39;s oldest purpose-built railroad hotels.</p><br>
