<p>The Baconton Commercial Historic District is a 10 acre historic district in Baconton, Georgia that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It then included 12 contributing buildings, which are mostly one-story brick commercial or warehouse buildings. The district also includes the Winchester Hotel, on E. Durham Street, which was built in the 1890s, enlarged after 1900, and operated into the 1930s. In 1983 it was a single family residence. Adjacent is the former home of the bookkeeper of the Jackson Supply Company.</p><br>
<p>Major Robert J. Bacon, Sr., was the original landowner of the area.</p><br>
<p>The district was one of three in Baconton listed on the National Register at the same time, as part of a review of all historic resources in Baconton, along with the George W. Jackson House.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district, roughly bounded by Rose, Division, Michigan, and Petoskey streets in Petoskey, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1850s, both a Presbyterian and a Catholic mission were established near modern-day Petoskey to minister to the Odawa residents of the area. By the 1860s, more European residents moved into Petoskey, and pioneer Hazen Ingalls constructed a dock for shipping and built the first store in what is now downtown Petoskey. In 1874, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad began service to Petoskey, and the area soon grew immensely. The area already had three hotels by 1875. The village of Petoskey was incorporated in 1879; at that time a number of brick commercial structures began to be constructed in the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>Construction continued through the turn of the century, and construction of small scale commercial structures continued into the 1940s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Petoskey Downtown Historic District consists of 102 commercial properties and two institutional structures, located along 10 blocks in Petoskey&#39;s business district, primarily along East Mitchell and Howard streets. The contributing structures range in date from 1879 to the 1920s. The old tracks from the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad run diagonally through the district, and open land bordering the track is landscaped as a park. At its north end, the district includes the old Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Depot and the Perry Hotel, both reminders of the early tourism history of the city.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the structures in the district are commercial in nature, and can be grouped by significant uses and architectural styles:</p><br>
<p>Residential-type commercial properties (319–331 Bay and 110–121 Howard): The two blocks at the northwestern edge of the district (the 300 block of Bay and 100 block of Howard) contain small residential-type commercial structures. Some serve as boarding houses, and others have been converted from residential to commercial use.</p><br>
<p>Classical Revival structures (300 & 415 Howard; 307–09, 407, and 452 East Lake; 100 Lewis; 307, 408, & 447 East Mitchell): A number of structures exhibit Classical Revival architectural styling. The most distinctive is the c. 1890 First State Bank at 300 Howard, in part because of its prominent corner location and its cohesive facade with a prominent Doric portico. Other Classical Revival buildings include the 1902 Matthew Pietrowitcz building at 415 Howard, the 1907 G&A building at 307-09 East Lake, and the c. 1917 Petoskey Cigar Company building at 407 East Lake. Each of these buildings have upper story arches unifying the Classical design. The 1899 Perry Hotel at 100 Lewis, the first brick hotel in the city, exudes an impressive monumental quality due to its prominent Doric entrance.</p><br>
<p>Italianate "Commercial Palaces" (329–31 & 401–03 East Lake; 320 & 412 East Mitchell): These structures include the 1879 Central Drug Store at 401–03 East Lake, the first brick building constructed in the district. The structures incorporate iron elements such as window hood and cornices which were marketed after the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>Queen Anne structures (307, 310–12, & 419 Howard): The building at 307 Howard had second story oriel windows and detailed brickwork that is characteristically Queen Anne in style. The building at 310–12 Howard includes strong Classical Revival elements, and the 1893 Schilling building at 419 Howard contains strong Romanesque Revival details.</p><br>
<p>Spanish Mission (105 Lewis and 210 Howard): The 1899 depot at 105 Lewis and the commercial building at 210 Howard have characteristic stepped gables and parapets of the Spanish Mission style.</p><br>
<p>The South Railroad Historic District in Baconton, Georgia is a 22 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It included seven one-story or one-and-a-half-story houses built before 1927 and a service station.</p><br>
<p>The district was one of three in Baconton listed on the National Register at the same time, as part of a review of all historic resources in Baconton, along with the George W. Jackson House.</p><br>
<p>The Bacon Family Homestead is a 443.8 acre property in Mitchell County, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is associated with Robert J. Bacon, Jr. (1880-1946), who helped establish Baconton&#39;s first "crackery", a pecan shelling plant, in 1919.</p><br>
<p>The homestead includes an early twentieth century rustic style house, a historic outbuilding, locations of several former outbuildings, historic landscape features, and a pecan grove on a narrow property that extends to the Flint River. The house is a one-story with unpainted board and batten siding. Carpentry detailing includes eaves that are boxed and returned.</p><br>
<p>The Crook House in Cheyenne, Wyoming, also known as Gibbons House, is a Queen Anne-style house that was built in 1890. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It is associated with Dr. William W. Crook, who was one of the first doctors in Cheyenne, arriving in 1875 after practicing in Kansas. The house was for a while the state Governor&#39;s Mansion.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination asserted it is one of few remaining examples of Queen Anne architecture in Wyoming. In this example, the "foremost architectural components are visible at the front elevations and include a projecting, gabled bay, a pedimented, hip-roofed veranda, and a substantial square tower with a pyramidal roof and ornate finial. These main parts are massed in an asymmetrical, but balanced, composition."</p><br>
<p>The listing included three other contributing buildings: a carriage house (1885) with chutes in place from a grain bin in its second story, a coal storage house, and a former chicken house that is now a covered patio.</p><br>
<p>The Frisco Charcoal Kilns are remnants of silver mining in the Utah ghost town of Frisco. They remain as a visual documentation of the state&#39;s mining history</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>San Francisco Mining District was created on August 12, 1871, in the Utah Territory San Francisco mountain range in Beaver County. At that time, galena was the primary ore being mined in the area. The Horn Silver Mine was established in 1875, and was the beginning of the silver mining in the range. The town of Frisco grew up around that mine, and was the nexus of the mining district. On February 12, 1885, the Horn Silver Mine had a massive cave-in. While there were no fatalities and the mine continued to produce for years, workers began to leave for other mining areas.</p><br>
<h2>Kilns</h2><br>
<p>Smelting is the process of extracting metal from ore. Charcoal-fueled smelting in both pits and kilns had been used in Utah since at least 1872. Overall, there were 36 beehive-shaped smelting kilns operating in the district. The five granite beehive-shaped charcoal smelting kilns that have survived in Frisco were created by the Frisco Mining and Smelting Company under the supervision of Benjamin Y. Hampton, primarily for the Horn Silver Mine, between 1877 and 1880 for $500-$1000 apiece. Each kiln varies in size from the other, anywhere from 16 to 32 feet in diameter. The company was hard-hit by the Horn Silver Mine cave-in, and eventually closed up shop in 1884. The surviving kilns were added to the National Register of Historic Places March 9, 1982 as an integral part of Utah&#39;s history.</p><br>

<p>The Winchester Soldiers Monument is a historic war memorial located in a park-like setting at the end of Crown Street in the Winsted area of Winchester, Connecticut. Built in 1889–90, it commemorates the communitys participants in the American Civil War. It is one of Connecticut&#39;s most architecturally elaborate memorials to that conflict. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Winchester Soldiers&#39; Monument is located in a residential area north of the commercial Main Street area of Winsted, at the southern end of Crown Street. The park in which it is set is atop a circular hill, which is grassed down to the park drive, paths and a few trees dotting its interior. A low stone retaining wall lines the parking area on Crown Street. A square entrance arch with crenellated top provides access to one of the paths leading to the main monument. The main structure is a three-level tower built of ashlar granite from a local quarry, and is square in footprint. Its walls slope inward in the lower stage to eventually straighten and are crowned by crenellations. At one corner a circular tourelle projects from the third level, topped by a bronze figure of a soldier holding colors. There is a single entrance on one face, with single windows on each of the other first-floor facades, and two windows on each of the upper levels. The total height of the tower is 44 ft.</p><br>
<p>The memorial was completed in 1890 to a design by Robert Hill of Waterbury; the bronze figure was designed by George Bissell. The interior was originally to have an iron staircase installed, but this never occurred due a disagreement with the contractor, and a wooden staircase (intended to be temporary) was installed instead. Funds for the memorial&#39;s construction were raised by the local chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic. In 1977–78, a water fountain was installed near the tower, designed by Andrew Coppola, a sculptor from Hartford.</p><br>
<p>The Winsted Hosiery Mill, also known as the Whiting Mill, is an industrial complex at 210 Holabird Avenue in the Winsted section of Winchester, Connecticut. Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was one of the largest industrial employers in the community for many years, and is relatively unaltered from its period of development. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is now subdivided for multiple industrial and commercial tenants.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Winsted Hosiery Mill complex is located north of Winsted&#39;s commercial downtown, on the east side of the Still River and the south side of Holabird Avenue. The complex has six buildings, and is roughly divided in half by Whiting Street, which parallels the river. Five of them are of brick construction, and one is of stone. The stone building, which housed the mill offices, is located at the corner of Holabird and Whiting, with a long and narrow brick building extending to the south. Across Whiting Street is another large building, with smaller structures attached and standing detached nearby.</p><br>
<p>The Winsted Hosiery Company was founded in 1882 by William L. Gilbert, producing hosiery and underwear for men made from cotton-wool blends. Its original mill building burned down in 1900, after which the company embarked on a ten-year construction program that resulted in the present complex. The company experienced significant growth until about 1935, and saw declining employment during World War II. In the 1950s it shifted to the production of woolen garments. In 1965 the company, then known as the Winchester Spinning Company, moved its operations to more modern facilities in North Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>Current Uses</h2><br>
<p>The Winsted Hosiery Mill complex is now best known as Whiting Mills, which houses the and the American Mural Project, which is a nonprofit arts and education center in an adjacent renovated mill building. Both organizations hold events and education programs.</p><br>
<p>Centennial Hall is a historic community hall and schoolhouse at 105 Post Road in North Hampton, New Hampshire. Built in 1876, it is a distinctive local example of Stick Style architecture, and has served the town as a schoolhouse and community meeting place for most of its existence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Centennial Hall stands on the northeast side of the triangular town green of North Hampton, formed in part by the junction of Post Road (New Hampshire Route 151) and New Hampshire Route 111. It is set facing west, just west of the south-facing Congregational church. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a truncated hip roof and clapboarded exterior. It has a three-bay facade, with the center bay projecting slightly and rising to an open belfry and pyramidal cap. The roof eaves are adorned with decorative brackets, and the front of the upper portion of the tower has applied wood work in the Stick Style. Windows on the ground floor are set under jigsawn bracketed gables, and their lintels also have small brackets. The main entrance is sheltered by a hip roof portico that is fronted by a Stick style gable.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1875–76, with funds donated by John W. F. Hobbs, a native son who made his fortune in Boston. The building was intended to provide new school facilities for two of the town&#39;s school districts, which then had old and overcrowded facilities. Land for the building was donated by the adjacent church. The school facilities were located on the ground floor, with a meeting hall on the second floor. A dining area was later added to the attic level. The building housed elementary and junior high students until 1949. From the 1950s to the 1980s the building was used for light industrial purposes, which brought conflict after the building was zoned into residential area. In 1998 the building was acquired by a local nonprofit organized for its preservation.</p><br>
<p>The Woodbury Historic District No. 2 encompasses a linear rural-residential area of southern Woodbury, Connecticut. It extends along the towns Main Street , from the town line with Southbury in the south to the South Pomperaug Avenue junction in the north. It contains some of the towns finest examples of 18th and early 19th-century residential architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Woodbury was settled by colonists in 1673, having purchased its land from the Potatuck people. The early settlement was made along a long-standing Native American trail, now roughly followed by Main Street. It was incorporated in 1674, and was the mother town for several surrounding communities, achieving its present municipal bounds by 1807. It was a prosperous agricultural community in the 18th and early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is organized as a basically linear area of about 50 acre, stretching from the town line in the south for about 1 mi, almost to the junction with South Pomperaug Avenue. This area is largely rural-residential in character, which continues into the It abuts the Southbury Historic District No. 1 to the south, and (after passing through a more modern commercial area) into the Woodbury Historic District No. 1. There are 27 houses of historic significance in the district, ranging in construction date from the late 18th to the 20th century. There is only one house that predates 1740; there are six houses from the Federal and Greek Revival periods, including a particularly fine Greek Revival house on the east side of Main Street, featuring a flushboarded gable pediment, corner pilasters, and a Greek Revival entrance surround. Most of the houses in the district post-date the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The East Mitchell Street Historic District is a residential historic district located in Petoskey, Michigan. It is roughly bounded by Rose, Kalamazoo, State, Howard, Michigan, and Division streets. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The East Mitchell Street Historic District occupies 31 blocks, and contains 294 residential properties, of which 278 are historically contributing to the district. The houses are predominantly frame structures, to stories high. Architectural styles include Victorian, Queen Anne, Shingle style, Colonial Revival, Radford-type, Bungalow, and other period designs, dating from the late 1800s through the 1930s. The district also contains four churches, a parochial school, and a public school.</p><br>
<p>The central portion of the neighborhood runs along East Mitchell Street, where the residences tend to be larger and more elaborately detailed. East Mitchell runs westward and downhill into the central downtown area of Petoskey, and the East Mitchell Street Historic District lies on parallel streets both north and south of East Mitchell. Landscaping in the district includes a profusion of shade trees and shallow front lawns, sometimes banked behind low retaining walls. Despite physical alterations of many houses (in particular enclosing porches), the overall historic appearance of the district remains intact due to retention of important design elements, and collections of structures with high historic integrity.</p><br>
<p>The institutional structures in the neighborhood include:</p><br>
<p>Emmanuel Episcopal Church (1020 Mitchell) - The church was constructed in 1958, and exhibits a post-World War II version of Gothic Revival architecture. The nearby parish house and parsonage was constructed in 1938.</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church (461 Mitchell) - This church was constructed in 1899 as a Gothic Revival/Queen Anne structure, and was remodeled in 1952 in a Colonial Revival design.</p><br>
<p>Temple Bnai Israel (501 Michigan) - Originally constructed by the Parr Baptist congregation in 1881 and moved to this site in 1910, the Temple Bnai Israel is a Victorian Gothic Revival structure.</p><br>
<p>Parr Memorial Baptist Church (502 Michigan) - This church was constructed in 1910, and exhibits an early 20th century version of Gothic Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church and School (500 block of Howard) - The St. Francis Xavier parish first occupied the site of the current complex in 1879. The church complex contains four buildings: a large brick Gothic Revival church erected in 1903-08, a two-story Gothic Revival monastery erected in 1903, a two-story Spanish Mission Style school from 1927 (with a modern rear addition), and a two-story brick rectory.</p><br>
<p>Old Petoskey Senior High and Central Elementary School (600 block of Howard) - The old high school building is a two-story brick structure of Classical Revival design, erected in 1913. The Central School addition to the school is an Art Deco building constructed in 1929.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The East Mitchell Street Historic District grew as Petoskey grew, and has served as a neighborhood where a cross section of Petoskey citizens lived, ranging from prominent businessmen to laborers. Many of the houses appear to be constructed from ready-to-use architectural designs. What is likely the oldest structure in the neighborhood, at 519 Kalamazoo Street, dates from 1877. Earlier structures were predominantly Victorian and Queen Anne designs, but at the turn of the century more Colonial Revival houses were constructed. Bungalow houses were also popular in the neighborhood, and a few Prairie and International designs were also executed further into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Fletcher Henderson House, also known as Henderson-Burroughs House, in Cuthbert, Georgia, was built in 1888. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed significant as the home for 64 years of the leading black educator in Cuthbert, professor Fletcher Hamilton Henderson (1857-1943). It is also notable as the boyhood home of jazz great Fletcher H. Henderson Jr., who was born December 18, 1897, and his brother Horace W. Henderson, who was born November 23, 1903.</p><br>
<p>The O&#39;Neill United States Post Office was built in the 1930s. It is a one-story Georgian Revival style building built from standard plans. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>It is one of 12 Nebraska post offices featuring a Section of Fine Arts mural. Its mural is "Baling Hay in Holt County in the Early Days" by Eugene Trentham, completed in May, 1938.</p><br>
<p>The Moccasin Bluff site  is an archaeological site located along the Red Bud Trail and the St. Joseph River north of Buchanan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and has been classified as a multi-component prehistoric site with the major component dating to the Late Woodland/Upper Mississippian period.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The terrace between Moccasin Bluff and the St. Joseph River was home to temporary camps as early as 6300 B.C. Around A.D 500, inhabitants here traded with other groups of Native Americans from Illinois and Indiana. By A.D. 1100-1400, more permanent villages were established here, and the residents farmed the local lands.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1820s, European settlers moved into the area to log and farm the land. The US government then adopted a policy of moving the local Potawatomi out of the area and further west. This eventually led to the Potawatomi trail of death. The bluff is said to be named for Cogomoccasin, leader of one of the nearby displaced Potawatomi villages.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, the site was excavated by a University of Michigan team, which found pottery, burials and remnants of maize and storage pits. In 2002, Michigan State University excavated a wetland area at a lower elevation that had not been previously examined.</p><br>

<p>The Moccasin Bluff site is located on a terrace along Red Bud Trail. The terrace overlooks a wide bend in the St. Joseph River containing a pair of islands. The site is protected by a half circle of hills to the north, west and south.</p><br>
<p>The site is significant in being one of the few prehistoric sites in western Michigan showing evidence of intensive occupation over a long time period. This has resulted in a rich midden which yields a large quantity of artifacts. The deposits are not stratified, but the artifacts themselves, supported by radiocarbon dates and comparison to other sites, are diagnostic of several periods of Native American prehistory, ranging from c. 8500 BC to the 1600s A.D. or just prior to European contact. The Archaic (c. 8500–1500 BC), Early Woodland (c. 1500-100 BC) and Middle Woodland (c. 100BC–500 AD) are represented based on the types of artifacts recovered. However, the main occupation was in the Late Woodland period (c. 500–1500 AD) with evidence of Upper Mississippian (c. 1000–1500 AD) occupation and/or influence as well.</p><br>
<h2>Results of 1948 excavations</h2><br>
<p>The excavations yielded pit features, prehistoric artifacts, animal bone and plant remains.</p><br>
<h3>Features</h3><br>
<p>There were no trace of dwellings found at the site. Nor were there post molds that might have indicated the presence of structures. The researchers concluded that the lack of structural features may be due to the fact that the main part of the site was destroyed during the construction of the Red Bud Trail Highway.</p><br>
<p>Four feature types were identified; storage pits (62), fire pits (17), hearths (19) and smudge pits (2). Three burials were located, of which only one was fully excavated.</p><br>
<p>The fire pits may have functioned as earth ovens for the roasting of the white water lily tuber. and at the Schwerdt site on the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, the carbonized tubers of a similar water-lily species, American Lotus, were found in deep roasting pits.</p><br>
<p>Both smudge pits contained the carbonized remains of maize. The contents were analyzed and it was determined to be Eastern Complex maize. Based on previous ethnographic observation, the researchers concluded the features were used as a smudge to cure hides.</p><br>
<h3>Animal bone</h3><br>
<p>The remains of 32 species were present at Moccasin Bluff. However, when the remains were analyzed to assign pounds of meat present of each species, the results were 32% deer, 27% elk, 8% sturgeon, 6% beaver, 5% bear and 2% dog. These bones were not modified into tools like the bone tools described in the Artifacts section below, and may be considered food remains or, in the case of the dog and bear, possibly the remains of ceremonial activities. Dog sacrifice and dog meat consumption was observed to have ceremonial and religious implications in early Native American tribes. Bear worship and ceremonialism has also been recorded in the ethnological record.</p><br>
<h3>Plant remains</h3><br>
<p>Specimens of wood charcoal from the fire pits were analyzed and found to be primarily oak, hickory and maple, reflecting the makeup of the local deciduous forest. Some carbonized food remains were identified as acorn, walnut, Canadian plum, butternut and hickory nut. Eastern complex maize was present in the two smudge pits.</p><br>
<h3>Artifacts</h3><br>
<p>The following types of artifacts were recovered from the site:</p><br>
<p>Pottery - No whole or completely reconstructable vessels were found at the site. Therefore the researchers looked primarily at rim sherds and distinctive body sherds to analyze the pottery. The site yielded 534 analyzable rim sherds representing at least 424 vessels. These artifacts are discussed in more detail below.</p><br>
<p>Stone Tools - 1,519 stone tools, tool fragments and flakes. Also present were hammer and anvil stones, celts, and abraiding stones.</p><br>
<p>Bone tools - present were bone cylinders, beaming tools, antler tools, bone awls, elk scapula tools and turtle carapaces. A bone rasp (musical instrument) fragment was present in the Birdsell collection, a group of artifacts from the site donated by a local collector.</p><br>
<p>Stone Pendants - 2 pieces of stone were recovered with holes punched in the middle and were interpreted as pendants.</p><br>
<p>Pipes - 6 pipe fragments or unfinished pipe bowls made out of clay or stone.</p><br>
<p>Red Ochre - 7 pieces of red ochre were in the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology collection from the site.</p><br>
<p>The non-pottery artifacts found at an archaeological site can provide useful cultural context as well as a glimpse into the domestic tasks performed at a site; ceremonial or religious activities; recreational activities; and clothing or personal adornment.</p><br>
<p>Some of the most prominent and diagnostic non-pottery artifacts are presented here in more detail:</p><br>
<h3>Occupations and associated pottery types</h3><br>
<p>Archaeologists often find pottery to be a very useful tool in analyzing a prehistoric culture. It is usually very plentiful at a site and the details of manufacture and decoration are very sensitive indicators of time, space and culture.</p><br>
<h4>Middle Woodland (c. 100 BC–500 AD)</h4><br>
<p>A total of 20 vessels of Havana Ware pottery was collected in the 1948 excavations. The Havana Culture was thought to be a local variant of the main Middle Woodland, which was dominated by the Adena and Hopewell cultures of the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys. Middle Woodland cultures are characterized by their large burial mounds, some of which are still visible today; as well as their distinctive pottery forms, ceremonial practices, agricultural activities, and widespread trade networks.</p><br>
<h4>Late Woodland (c. 500 AD–1500 AD) / Upper Mississippian (c. 1000–1500 AD)</h4><br>
<p>The Late Woodland period in the Great Lakes region was characterized by the introduction of maize agriculture, which allowed for more efficient food production. This led to population increases which in turn led to increased competition for resources, resulting in more conflict/warfare. After 1000 AD, there was increased interaction and influence from the Mississippian cultures of the Mississippi River Valley, resulting in the formation of Upper Mississippian cultures in the Great Lakes area.</p><br>
<p>Based on analysis of the Late Woodland / Upper Mississippian pottery collected in the 1948 excavations, 2 distinct types of pottery wares were defined: Late Woodland grit-tempered Moccasin Bluff Ware (327 vessels) and Upper Mississippian shell-tempered Berrien Ware (48 vessels).</p><br>
<h4>=Moccasin Bluff ware (327 vessels)=</h4><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff ware is divided into several types, some of which have variants, groups and sub-groups:</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff cordmarked (97 vessels), characterized by cord marked surface treatment, subdivided into two varieties, Variety 1a and Variety 1b. Variety 1b is further subdivided into 6 sub-groups. Time period: prehistoric. Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff collared (14 vessels), characterized by collared or thickened and sometimes castellated rims, subdivided into 2 subgroups. Time period: prehistoric. Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff modified lip (57 vessels), characterized by distinctive rim and lip treatments, divided into 6 sub-groups. Time period: prehistoric. Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff impressed exterior lip (56 vessels), characterized by distinctive rim and lip treatments, divided into 2 sub-groups. Time period: prehistoric. Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff plain (37 vessels), characterized by a distinctive plain smoothed surface. Time period: prehistoric. Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff plain modified lip (36 vessels), characterized by distinctive notches or finger impressions on the rim, combined with a plain smoothed exterior surface, subdivided into 3 sub-groups. Similar pottery has been found at the Dumaw Creek, Summer Island and Rock Island II sites. Dumaw Creek and Summer Island have been mentioned as possible prehistoric Potawatomi sites, and at Rock Island II, the pottery type Bell Type II has been demonstrated to be a Potawatomi pottery type. Time period: Late prehistoric to Protohistoric or early Historic. Prehistoric Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland. Protohistoric/Historic Cultural affiliation: unknown, possibly Potawatomi.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff notched applique strip (20 vessels), characterized by the thickening of the rim by use of an appliqué strip, upon which various design motifs are applied. Time period: Late prehistoric to Protohistoric or early Historic. Prehistoric Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland. Protohistoric/Historic Cultural affiliation: unknown.</p><br>
<p>Moccasin Bluff scalloped (10 vessels), characterized by scalloped treatment of the rim edge. Pottery of this type has been recovered from the Dumaw Creek and Schwerdt sites, as well as other west Michigan sites, where it is suggested it may have been made by the Potawatomi. Time period: Late prehistoric to Protohistoric or early Historic. Prehistoric Cultural affiliation: Late Woodland. Protohistoric/Historic Cultural affiliation: unknown, possibly Potawatomi.</p><br>
<h4>=Berrien ware (48 vessels)=</h4><br>
<p>The shell-tempered Berrien ware present at the site is divided into 5 subgroups based on shoulder, neck, surface finish and rim and lip attributes, and can be typed according to 2 previously recognized Upper Mississippian cultures:</p><br>
<p>Berrien ware subgroups 1, 2 and 3 - The first 3 subgroups have been equated with Huber ware, and are differentiated by shoulder and neck attributes. Overall, the Huber Ware is characterized by shell-tempered smooth surface pottery which is either undecorated or decorated with incised or trailed lines on the shoulder area. The Huber cultural area is centered on the Chicago area and has been recognized as closely related to the Oneota Aspect in Wisconsin and surrounding states. It is dated to the late prehistoric to the Early Historic or Protohistoric period, as it has been found in association with European trade goods in some sites (c. A.D. 1400-A.D. 1650, or until European contact). The historic culture behind the Huber pottery is not known for certain, but the Miami tribe were observed by early French explorers to occupy the area around the southern shore of Lake Michigan during the Protohistoric to early Historic Period. Miniature vessels have also been found within the Huber component at Moccasin Bluff. These are common at other sites in the area and could be interpreted as “toy” pots or attempts by young children to practice making pottery. Time period: Late prehistoric to Protohistoric or early Historic. Prehistoric Cultural affiliation: Upper Mississippian Huber. Protohistoric/Historic Cultural affiliation: unknown, possibly Miami.</p><br>
<p>Berrien ware subgroups 4 and 5 - these subgroups have been equated with Fisher ware, which was first described at the Fisher Mound site in northeastern Illinois near the mouth of the Illinois River. Like Huber, Fisher is also closely related to the Oneota Aspect. Fisher pottery is characterized by shell tempering, predominantly cordmarked surfaces, trailed or incised decoration and straight, excurved or flaring rims. Notched lips and rim lugs are also common. Fisher and Huber seem to overlap spacially, as both cultures have been noted in the Chicago and northwest Indiana regions, sometimes at the same site. The Fisher pottery at Moccasin Bluff is similar to the types Fifield trailed and Fifield bold, defined at the Fifield site, a Fisher village site in northwestern Indiana. Unlike the Huber Ware, Fisher has never been found associated with Protohistoric or early Historic Period sites and is therefore thought to be slightly older than Huber. Time period: prehistoric. Cultural affiliation: Upper Mississippian Fisher.</p><br>
<h4>=Proposed late prehistoric chronology=</h4><br>
<p>The large quantity of pottery collected at the Moccasin Bluff site, in conjunction with comparisons with other sites, enabled the authors of the site report to propose a chronological history of Late Woodland cultures in the western Michigan / northwest Indiana region.</p><br>
<p>The Berrien phase terminates with the end of prehistory and the beginning of the historic period. The authors of the site report hypothesize that Berrien–Huber ware may be associated with the historic Miami tribe; the Moccasin Bluff Scalloped with an Algonquian-speaking tribe such as the Potawatomi; and the Moccasin Bluff Notched Applique Strip with Ohio tribes who may have been displaced during the Iroquois Wars.</p><br>
<p>Notably, there are no European trade goods present in the Berrien phase at Moccasin Bluff. Therefore the site was abandoned at or just before the time of European contact. The same may be said for the Berrien Phase component at the nearby Schwerdt site. The reason for this may be that in the Protohistoric or early Historic period the Potawatomi were displaced from western Michigan as a result of the Iroquois Wars and moved to the west shore of Lake Michigan into Wisconsin. The Rock Island II Site on Rock Island in Green Bay, northern Lake Michigan in Wisconsin is a good example of a Potawatomi village in this early Historic period. As a result, the lower peninsula of Michigan became a "no-mans land", mostly unoccupied for several decades.</p><br>
<h2>Results of 2002 excavations</h2><br>
<p>Further excavations were conducted in 2002 to further clarify questions about the subsistence patterns and site function. Further examples of Moccasin Bluff Ware were recovered; Moccasin Bluff Plain Modified Lip, Moccasin Bluff Impressed Exterior Lip, Moccasin Bluff Scalloped, Moccasin Bluff Cordmarked, and Moccasin Bluff Plain. In addition, there were vessels recovered from the Middle Woodland and also a partially reconstructed vessel from the Early Woodland, a poorly represented time period in the 1948 excavations.</p><br>
<p>The 2002 excavations used the flotation technique to recover small plant remains, a practice that was not used in earlier times. As a result, numerous small seeds and fruit seeds were recovered. Of the fruits, pin cherry, pokeberry, grape and blackberry/raspberry were present. Of the seeds, several indigenous starchy and oily seed were recovered, including goosefoot, maygrass, knotweed, amaranth, sumpweed, and sunflower. These seeds are part of the Eastern Agricultural Complex, a group of cultivated or semi-cultivated plants utilized by the Prehistoric populations in addition to the better-known crops such as maize, beans and squash. These types of small seeds are not likely to be recovered unless flotation is used, which is why they were underreported and largely unknown until flotation sampling became widespread among archaeologists.</p><br>
<h2>Site function and Berrien phase settlement patterns</h2><br>
<p>The data recovered from the Moccasin Bluff site shows many indications that the site was occupied for most or all of the year:</p><br>
<p>Maize was present at the site, implying it was planted in the spring and harvested in the fall; the presence of numerous deer mandibles implies processing of maize at the site</p><br>
<p>The sturgeon spawning run is in the spring, indicating spring occupation</p><br>
<p>Nutshell was present, indicating a fall occupation</p><br>
<p>Deer may be taken at any time of the year, but in the fall they are at their maximum weight and have grown thicker coats. The early Historic Native American tribes were observed to have an annual fall deer hunt in which the deer were "driven" and killed in mass.</p><br>
<p>Focused exploitation of deer and elk to the expense of other available species implies a reliance on an agricultural based economy</p><br>
<p>Numerous storage pits were present, implying food was stored over the winter</p><br>
<p>Based on evidence from the excavations, combined with evidence from the early Historic Native American tribes, it was concluded that the Moccasin Bluff site represented a permanent or semi-permanent site, with other sites such as Schwerdt serving as temporary encampments to exploit seasonal resources. There are no structures reported from Moccasin Bluff, but the researchers felt that the part of the site containing the houses was destroyed in the building of a highway through the area.</p><br>
<p>The 2002 excavations found no additional evidence of maize and still no evidence of structures, and some archaeologists are re-thinking the agricultural village interpretation. Since there is a lack of known Late Woodland or Upper Mississippian protohistoric agricultural village sites elsewhere in western Michigan, some researchers are suggesting that perhaps the subsistence pattern was not heavily focused on maize cultivation as was originally thought. Instead, the adaptation of the Berrien Phase population may have been more balanced between hunting, fishing, gathering and limited cultivation of Eastern Agricultural Complex seeds as well as maize.</p><br>
<p>The West Mitchell Street Bridge is a bridge carrying West Mitchell Street and US Highway 31  over the Bear River in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Michigan State Highway Department constructed this bridge in 1930 under the supervision of State Highway Commissioner Grover C. Dillman. The MSHD contracted with Whitney Brothers to build the bridge.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The West Mitchell Street Bridge is a seven-span highway T-beam bridge constructed of reinforced concrete, with broad ogee arches supporting each span. It is 330 ft long and 60 ft wide. The deck is asphalt, lined by sidewalks and side balustrades. The bridge is extensively detailed, with Moderne features.</p><br>
<p>The Shafer&#39;s Grocery and Residence is a commercial and residential building located at 1018 Emmet Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Shafer&#39;s Grocery and Residence comprises two interconnected buildings: the store and an adjacent residence. The store is a single-story frame commercial structure featuring a central entrance flanked by expansive glass windows. The store has a flat roof with a simple bracketed cornice. The walls of the structure are clad with asbestos shingles. The attached residence is a two-story gabled structure with a front porch running the full width of the house.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built for the grocery business of Robert Shafer, who operated here in the late 19th century. By the 1930s, a used furniture business operated by Jennie Cross was located here.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Benjamin Allyn II House, also known locally as the Thomas Allyn House, is a historic house at 119 Deerfield Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in the mid-18th century or possibly earlier, it is a well-preserved example of a Colonial era brick house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Allyn House stands on the west side of Deerfield Road, historically the main road along the west bank of the Connecticut River, in southern Windsor. It is stories in height, with a side gable roof. Its walls are built out of brick laid in common bond, with differing shapes indicating different periods of construction. Ground-floor openings in the five-bay facade have segmented-arch headers, with the entrance at the center, while second-floor windows are in rectangular openings butting against the eave. The interior has a center-hall plan, with parlors on either side and a kitchen and small extra chamber in the rear. Period woodwork is found in each of these rooms, and floors are wide pine.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s construction date is traditionally given as 1670, based on a partial carving (of which only the "1" and "0" survive legibly) on its main beams. It is possible that the house was built at this early date, but a date of 1760 is also plausible. Documentary records for the property are unclear whether this house or another was standing at the earlier date. The house was originally built as a saltbox, and was only raised to have a full second floor at a later date, evidenced by changes in the brick used. Even with a 1760 construction date, this house stylistically prefigures the later Federal period brick houses that are more numerous in Windsor.</p><br>
<p>The Giles Barber House is a historic house at 411-413 Windsor Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1825, it is a well-preserved local example of a transitional Federal-Greek Revival brick house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Giles Barber House stands in southern Windsor, on the west side of Windsor Street (Connecticut Route 159), a major north–south roadway, between Barber and Allen Streets. It is a masonry structure, with a -story main block that is covered by front-facing gabled roof. Behind this is a two-story ell, from which a single-story ell extends to the left (south) from its rear. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the leftmost bay. Windows are set in rectangular openings with brownstone lintels and sills. The gable above is fully pedimented, with a Federal style semi-oval window at its center.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1825 by Giles Barber, using bricks made from brickyards the operated on the other side of Windsor Avenue. The L-shaped plan is typical of the early Greek Revival, but its simpler styling and pediment window are more typical of the Federal period. This house is one of a number of early 19th-century brick houses to survive in southern Windsor.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Grocery Company Building, also known as the George T. Zipp Lumber Company Building, is a commercial building located at 616 Petoskey Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Zipp Lumber Company Building is a three-story brick Queen Anne commercial structure built on a trapezoidal plan, with pedimented dormers and a hipped roof. The trapezoidal plan accommodates the irregular lot adjacent to the railroad tracks. The walls are paneled to simulate pilasters. Windows are one-over-one wood framed units.</p><br>
<p>The building was first occupied by the Petoskey Grocery Company, which was incorporated in 1900. In 1917, the George T. Zipp Lumber Company moved into the building. Zipp Lumber occupied the building for many years. After they vacated the building, it was refurbished into the Emmet County Professional Office Building.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Public Works Utility Building, is a utility building located at 106 West Lake Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Public Works Utility Building is a two-story concrete Moderne structure with metal-framed windows. A single-story addition extends to one side at the rear of the building. The entry bay protrudes forward. The exterior walls are grooved, referencing the fluting seen in classical piers.</p><br>
<p>The Petoskey Public Works Utility Building was constructed in 1937, replacing another facility that had stood on the site for many years. The building is part of a long-time commitment by the city to generate electrical power for the community.</p><br>
<p>Mineral Well Park is a park located on the east side of the Bear River at West Lake Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1888, mineral waters were discovered in Petoskey. Two years later, Frank S. Kedzie of Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) declared that Petoskey&#39;s waters were the best in the state for bathing and drinking. Capitalizing on the appeal of the waters, a bathhouse and pavilion were constructed on this site, under a lease from the city of Petoskey. There is no visible trace of these 19th century structures at the site, but foundations may remain underground.</p><br>
<p>The lease ended in 1908, and in 1914-16 the city redeveloped the park with a series of improvements, many donated by the Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs of Petoskey and other private individuals. These improvements included a fish pond, concrete paths, and benches. Also included was the 1915 park pavilion designed by local architect C. H. Hansen. The fish pond has been filled in, but the majority of the other improvements made in 1914-16 remain in the park.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Mineral Well Park is a two-acre section located on the east side of the Bear River, and running from the West Mitchell Street Bridge north to West Lake Street. The park is a level section of grassland with a few large trees and shrubs. It contains cement pathways leading to the park pavilion. Grouped around the pavilion are the low, capped, cylindrical, fieldstone wells from which the park takes its name, and a retaining wall surrounding the former fish pond, which contains a bronze fountain in its center. The fish pond has been filled in and now contains plantings.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion, designed by C. H. Hansen, is a single-story, open air, cross-gable-roof structure. Concrete urn balustrades encircle the pavilion, and link podia topped with short Tuscan columns. The columns support the entablature and roof.</p><br>
<p>The Carville Historic District in Carville, Louisiana, is a 60 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 18, 1992. It formerly served as a treatment facility for leprosy, and was called the National Leprosarium, Gillis W. Long Hansen&#39;s Disease Center and Public Health Service Hospital No. 66.</p><br>
<p>In 1992, the district included 24 contributing buildings and two contributing structures, most built during 1939–1941 by architect/builder Neill P. Thompson. It contains the National Hansen&#39;s Disease Museum, a historical museum about the facility.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Plantation</h3><br>
<p>The property was originally a sugar plantation. The main house was built in 1859 for sugar planter Robert C. Camp.</p><br>
<h3>Louisiana Leper home</h3><br>
<p>Located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River in Carville, Louisiana, the National Leprosarium was one of two leprosy hospitals in the United States. An abandoned sugar plantation became the Louisiana Leper Home in 1894. Eventually the facility would develop into a hospital that promoted understanding, identification, and treatment of leprosy, also known as Hansen&#39;s disease. But in the early days, there was no effective medical treatment, and patients entered the gates under mandatory quarantine and many never left the hospital again. See Leprosy in Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The "Home" began work with a patient load of five men and two women in the 1890s. Louisiana Leper Home was known as "a place of refuge, not reproach; a place of treatment and research, not detention". It offered hope and a comfortable refuge from society. Over the next century, the property would develop into a world class hospital, housing hundreds of employees and patients, including married couples and children.</p><br>
<h3>National Leprosarium</h3><br>
<p>In 1921, the USA Public Health Service took control and the facility became USA Marine Hospital Number 66, the National Leprosarium of the United States. Patient Stanley Stein, known as "Carville&#39;s Crusader", began a two-page newsletter in 1931. It grew into The STAR, a world-renowned newspaper that is still in publication.</p><br>
<p>When the USA Public Health Service Hospital system was abolished in 1981, the National Leprosarium was the only hospital that escaped transfer to another organization. This was due to the efforts of United States Congressman Gillis W. Long. He was an advocate for people living and working with Hansens disease. Long was successful in lobbying Congress to keep Carville open for the patients who wanted to remain on site, even though mandatory quarantine ceased to be law some years before. In 1986, the facility became the Gillis W. Long Hansens Disease (Leprosy) Center; the name change was directly linked to Congressman Long&#39;s influence in keeping the hospital open.</p><br>
<p>In 1992, the Carville Historic District was established and in 1996 the National Hansen&#39;s Disease (Leprosy) Museum was founded.</p><br>
<h3>Closure</h3><br>
<p>The USA Congress passed a bill to relocate the Gillis W. Long Hansens Disease (Leprosy) Center to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and as of 1999 the National Hansens Disease Programs continues its clinical care and research for Hansen&#39;s disease in Baton Rouge.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Government returned the site to the State of Louisiana in 1999. The state of Louisiana created a military base where the Louisiana National Guard currently operates a boot-camp style school for at-risk youth. There are other military and government tenants onsite. In addition to the museum, up until 2015, the grounds remained home to a few elderly residents who chose to stay after the hospital&#39;s official closing.</p><br>
<p>The Foundation for Historical Louisiana currently lists the site on its Treasures in Trouble list stating that many structures require extensive repairs and maintenance.</p><br>
<h2>National Hansen&#39;s Disease Museum</h2><br>
<p>The National Hansen’s Disease Museums exhibits include a history of the Carville facility, the United States Public Health Service and Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul who cared for the residents. Other exhibits include a recreated 1940s-era patients room, stories of patients, their daily lives as residents and the problems they faced and information on Hansen&#39;s disease and advances in treatment.</p><br>
<p>Other archival collections include photos and records of the Daughters of Charity who worked as nurses, teachers, researchers, medical librarians, and pharmacists from 1896 to 2005; The 66 Star a bi-monthly patient newsletter issued between 1931 and 1934 and its successor, The STAR, which began publication in 1941 and continues today. The archives also holds copies of The Question Mark, a student newsletter that began in the 1940s and The Point Clarion, the employee newsletter.</p><br>
<p>The property also includes a chapel which is still in operation called the Sacred Heart Chapel and it is a secondary church to St. Gabriel Catholic Church.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The "anchor" for the Carville Historic District is the Indian Camp Plantation House, the antebellum main house of a sugar plantation which is the only surviving building from the plantation. It wasdesigned and built by New Orleans architect Henry Howard (and perhaps his partner Albert Diettel) in 1859 for sugar planter Robert C. Camp. It is a raised stucco over brick transitional Greek Revival Italianate mansion featuring a central mass with a hexastyle double gallery and flanking two-story wings. Fluted Corinthian columns over heavily rusticated pillars support the gallery. Column capitals are correctly fashioned from double rows of acanthus leaf carvings with volutess or scrolls springing from the centers. Rather thin, molded and decorated abacus blocks supply the transition from columns to architrave. / The façade is well detailed with Italianate features, including rows of brackets, segmental openings, and panels. Above the gallery is a busy entablature with a bracketed, dentiled frieze under a projecting cornice and a segmented, paneled parapet. The bracket and dentil motif of the principal frieze continues around the returning entablature to terminate at the juncture of the house and gallery, only to reappear in a modified form of elongated brackets spaced across the wings, down the sides, and onto the rear. Meanwhile, the square, post and lintel fenestration of the central block contrasts with segmental openings in the wings. These features, together with the deep rustication of the central pillars and the heavy cast-iron gallery railings, impart a heavy sculptural quality to the façade. From every angle, front and rear, a certain dynamism emerges from broken up surfaces and contrasting motifs.</p><br>
<h3>Contributing properties</h3><br>
<p>The historical district contains a total of 26 contributing properties, built between 1859 and 1941:</p><br>

<p>Harbor Springs is a depot located at 111 West Bay Street in Harbor Springs, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 as the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Harbor Springs Depot.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad built a line to service Petoskey in 1874. The greater access to the area led to an influx of new residents, and the village of Harbor Springs was incorporated in 1880. The railway constructed a branch line to Harbor Springs in 1882. This depot, designed by Grand Rapids architect Sidney J. Osgood, was constructed in 1889 to serve the railway. The Pennsylvania Railroad acquired the railroad in 1918.</p><br>
<p>The station was at the end of a 7.9 mile short line, used for summer season trains timed to meet up in Petoskey with the Pennsylvania Railroad&#39;s Northern Arrow.</p><br>
<p>The depot was in use as a passenger station until 1962. Rail service itself ended in 1951, and a bus shuttle was established the following year. After the depot went out of service, the depot was purchased by the next door Walstrom Marine Company, and was leased seasonally by different retail businesses. In 1995, it was sold to a local builder, and in 2000 was sold again with the intention of rehabilitating the building. As of 2016, the building houses the Depot Club and Restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Harbor Springs Depot is a single-story, ell-shaped Stick style/Eastlake building with a hipped roof. It consists of two parts: a long passenger wing with wide projecting eaves and a shorter baggage portion, with narrower overhangs, situated at right angles to the main section. The dominant architectural features of the building are the oversized, curving brackets supporting the wide eaves on the passenger wing.</p><br>
<p>The building is clad with beveled clapboard, and contains double-hung windows and paneled doors. A large bay window, originally the ticket office, fronts onto Bay Street. Doors in the passenger section have a glassed transom; doors in the baggage section contain small square lights within the door itself. Two gables in the roof provide light to the attic. The original wood-shingled roof has been replaced with asphalt shingles&#39; likely in the late 1940s.</p><br>
<p>On the interior of the depot, the original passenger area has walls and ceiling finished in tongue-and-groove boarding, placed vertically below the level of the windowsills and horizontally above. It has the original maple flooring. The original baggage portion of the depot has more utilitarian walls and open-truss roof framing, and most of the floor is elevated to the height of a wagon to facilitate loading of baggage. Between the passenger area and the baggage room is the original ticket office containing the large bay window.</p><br>
<p>The Dixon County Courthouse in Ponca, Nebraska was built in 1883–84 and expanded in 1939–1940. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The original courthouse has elements of Italianate architecture. The addition was designed by Lincoln architect J.F. Reynolds and is in Art Deco style.</p><br>
<p>It is a contributing property in the NRHP-listed Ponca Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The construction of the addition was the last salvo in a war between Ponca and Allen, Nebraska about which town would be county seat.</p><br>
<p>The Monument of States was conceived as a symbol of American unity after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and is located at 300 E. Monument Avenue in Kissimmee, Florida. It was built by volunteers, with donations of stone that came from around the world, including a rock from President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was the brainchild of Charles W. Bressler-Pettis, who also hoped it would become a unique tourist attraction for the city.</p><br>
<h2>Conception and design</h2><br>
<p>When the United States came under attack from the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941, Charles W. Bressler-Pettis was a retired physician living in Florida, and was president of the Kissimmee All-States Tourist club that catered to senior citizens. He had served in both the Royal Army Medical Corps and the United States Army during World War I. Pettis devised an idea to erect a unique monument in Kissimmee that he hoped would inspire American solidarity in response to the attack. As a promoter of local tourism, Pettis was also looking to draw visitors to Kissimmee with a unique attraction. He enlisted his friend J. C. Fisher to work with him on designing a monument that would contain a rock from each state. The result of Pettis&#39;s collaboration with Fisher was a step-pyramid weighing an estimated 100,000 pounds and reinforced with 3 ½ tons of steel rails. At the top sits an American eagle and a flag of the United States, resting on a blue concrete orb.</p><br>
<p>Speculation has been offered by the National Park Service and others that it is possible Pettis might have been influenced by the Fireplace of States in Bemidji, Minnesota. Built by the Works Progress Administration in 1934–35, the Bemidji fireplace was constructed with stones from each of the then 48 states (Alaska and Hawaii were considered territories at the time of the monument&#39;s construction and would not become states until 1959 and 1960 respectively).</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Florida monument was built entirely through volunteer labor, mostly the senior citizens of the travel club. Governors of each state received letters from Pettis asking for rock donations to build the monument. Local government and civic organizations, as well as area businesses and individual residents, donated time and materials, including 507 donations of one bag of cement each. Those in Kissimmee who contributed in any manner have their names inscribed on the adjacent sidewalk. Pettis had amassed a collection of thousands of rocks in his travels and donated many of them to the project. President Franklin D. Roosevelt donated a rock from his estate in New York. By the time of its 1943 completion and dedication by Florida&#39;s United States Senator Claude Pepper, it was composed of 1,500 stones and objects donated</p><br>
<p>When Pettis died in 1954, Kissimmee changed its regulations on burials to permit a portion of his remains to be sealed inside the work. A plaque honoring Pettis was placed on the monument.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration and NRHP</h2><br>
<p>As tourism was drawn away by the 1971 opening of Walt Disney World in Orlando, the Kissimmee monument fell into neglect and disrepair.</p><br>
<p>On March 28, 1993, the city of Kissimmee had a re-dedication of the monument and sealed a time capsule within it. The American Automobile Association stepped in to help restore it in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 2015.</p><br>

<p>The Bissell Tavern or Bissells Stage House is a historic travelers accommodation at 1022 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Now a private residence, it was built in 1796, and served in the 19th century as a stagecoach stop along the main route between Springfield, Massachusetts and Hartford, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Bissell Tavern is located in northern Windsor, on the east side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159), south of its junction with Hayden Station Road.

<p>The tavern was built in 1796 by Ebenezer Fitch Bissell, Sr. The Bissells were one of the first families to settle Windsor, arriving in 1640. Bissell was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who had been captured in the Battle of Long Island. The Palisado Green area, just south of the tavern, developed in the early 19th century as a trading nexus, and Bissell&#39;s son turned the house into a tavern, a role it apparently kept until about 1833. It has remained in the interrelated Bissell and Hayden families as a private residence since then.</p><br>

<p>The Broad Street Green Historic District encompasses the historic late-19th century town center of Windsor, Connecticut. It is centered around the Broad Street Green, a public park extending on the east side of Broad Street  between Union and Batchelder Streets, and includes a diversity of architecture spanning much of the town&#39;s long history. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Windsor was one of the Connecticut&#39;s early settlements, dating to 1633. It has historically been centered around the mouth of the Farmington River where it enters the Connecticut River north of Hartford, with its earliest settlement area on the north side. The area to the south of the Farmington River was also a civically important area, serving as later secondary village center. The Broad Street Green was laid out as a common area in the 18th century, and was given its present park-like atmosphere in the late 19th century. The village grew in economic importance during the 19th century, and supplanted the original town center (the Palisado Green area) in civic importance as well. It is now where the town hall and other municipal buildings are located.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is about 30 acre in size, and includes all of the two dozen or so buildings facing the green between Batchelder and Union Streets. It also includes a few buildings on Union and Central Streets, just east of the green, extending down to the railroad tracks, where the historic station is included. Important civic buildings include the town hall, fire station, post office, and library. The library is partially housed in the Oliver Mather House, the districts oldest surviving building (1777). There are several two and three-story brick commercial blocks lining part of the greens west side.</p><br>

<p>Prescott, Arizona, founded in 1864, soon had a childrens library that was a collection of books gathered by several women. A Prescott Library Association opened a public reading room space in 1870. But there was no regularly funded library until the Carnegie library  at 125 E. Gurley Street was built in 1903. Its funding and construction was a project of the Monday Literary Society or Monday Club, a group formed in 1895 , a group of women dedicated to the educational and cultural well-being of their community. It has also been known as Prescott Public Library and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under that name. The replacement library, the current Prescott Public Library, built in 1974, is two blocks away.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Monday Club requested matching funds from Andrew Carnegie to build the library. The goal was to create a ‘free public library’ for the Prescott community. In July 1889, Carnegie agreed to fund $4,000 with the understanding the other $4,000 would be raised by the Prescott community. situated near Marina and Gurley in Prescott, Arizona. It was the first public library in the area.</p><br>
<p>Julia M. Goldwater, Prescott resident wrote to Andrew Carnegie in 1899, appealing for help to build a library in Prescott:</p><br>

<p>Mr. Andrew Carnegie</p><br>
<p>Dear Sir,</p><br>
<p>Your well known philanthropy has prompted me to appeal to you in the interest of a truly charitable work.</p><br>
<p>In our little town of 3500 inhabitants, we have after much effort and work established a library of nine hundred volumes—good readable books in good condition, but we have no endowment, rents are high, and we have been compelled to charge for the tickets.</p><br>
<p>It is our aim and hope to make the library free and to maintain a free reading room.</p><br>
<p>In no place could such a room be more needed than in Prescott with its large floating population of young men, many of whom can not afford to keep their own rooms lighted and heated, and therefore have no recourse but the saloons and “dives” for there are no innocent amusements in the town.</p><br>
<p>If we could get an endowment of $10,000 or even $8,000, we would at once, make the library free, for all the women on the library committee are willing to work very hard to keep the matter in good shape, to raise money to buy new books and to subscribe for periodicals.</p><br>
<p>I truly believe that the amount of money I mention would do greatest good in this way than in any other.</p><br>
<p>I have tried to write briefly so as not to demand too much of your valuable time, but if you are interested to investigate the matter, I shall taker pleasure in giving you all the information possible.</p><br>
<p>I am privileged to refer to the Governor of the Territory, Hon. N. Oakes Murphy, Phoenix, Arizona, who will tell you I am sure that the library is in capable hands.</p><br>
<p>Hoping that you will feel some interest in our necessities, in spite of the hourly calls on your charity, I am,</p><br>
<p>Very respectfully yours,</p><br>
<p>Julia M. Goldwater</p><br>
<p>Carnegie responded in 1899 with an offer of $4,000, conditional upon the people of Prescott matching that sum. The existing library collection was lost in a 1900 conflagration that burned much of downtown Prescott, but a $1800 insurance claim was paid for the loss, and other fundraising eventually raised enough to meet Carnegie&#39;s condition. Builders Maxwell & Sines constructed the library for $8,242. It was opened with 1300 volumes on November 24, 1903. Ownership was passed from the Monday Club to the city of Prescott in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The library served the Prescott community until 1974 when the current Prescott Public Library opened.</p><br>
<p>The Taylor Chapman House is a historic house at 407 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1764, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Taylor Chapman House is located north of Windsor&#39;s village center, on the west side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159) at the northwest of its junction with Kennedy Road. Palisado Avenue is a historically old road that was once the main road paralleling the west bank of the Connecticut River. It is a -story building, about 40 x. It is built out of brick, with a side gable roof and end chimneys, and rests on a stone foundation. It originally had two chimneys on each end wall, but now each has only one. The main facade is five bays across, with a center entrance topped by a half-round transom window. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels of soldier bricks. A single-story ell extends to the rear, and the property includes a 20th-century garage.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1764 by Taylor Chapman, and is one of a small number of surviving Georgian brick houses in Windsor. It is located near the road that lead to the historic Bissell Ferry crossing, which connected Windsor with East Windsor Hill.</p><br>
<p>The Horace H. Ellsworth House is a historic house at 316 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. It was built in 1872 for one of Windsor&#39;s leading citizens, and is a fine example of Italianate architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Horace H. Ellsworth House is located north of the village center of Windsor, on the east side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159), a short way north of its junction with Old Kennedy Road. Palisado Avenue is a historically old road, once serving as the principal route paralleling the west bank of the Connecticut River. The house is a two-story brick structure, covered by a flat roof with a projecting cornice. Its main block is three bays wide and two deep, with windows set in rectangular openings with stone lintels and sills. A single-story porch extends across the front, continuing on the left (north) end to a corner gazebo-like pavilion. The main entrance is on the left side. A two-story ell projects to the rear, continued with a single-story ell beyond.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1872 for Horace H. Ellsworth, and is distinctive locally for its Italianate style in brick, which contrasts with surrounding older buildings. Its first resident was Ellsworth&#39;s father, with Ellsworth and his family moving in after his father died. The house remained in the family until 1955. Horace Ellsworth was a local business owner, serving as director of a local cannery, and with interests in a commercial building and lumber business.</p><br>
<p>The Farmington River Railroad Bridge spans the Farmington River in Windsor, Connecticut, just west of Palisado Avenue and north of Pleasant Street. It carries two tracks of the main railroad line between Hartford, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1867, it is one of the state&#39;s finest examples of a stone arch railroad bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Farmington River Railroad Bridge is located north of the village center of Windsor, spanning the east-flowing Farmington River in a north–south direction, just north of Pleasant Street. It is a masonry structure 464 ft long, built out of locally quarried sandstone, with seven arches mounted on piers and abutments of similar stone. The stone is formed into dressed rectangular blocks of varying sizes. The sides of the piers are articulated as pilasters, with a captstone set on a stone balustrade over each one. The upstream sides of the piers have triangular projections to minimize damage caused by ice floes.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1867 by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, and has carried the main line between Hartford and Springfield since then. This is particularly noteworthy, because the weight and force of modern trains is substantially greater than those at the time of its construction. The bridge was designed to allow for the transit of barges beneath it on the river.</p><br>
<p>The Ochlocknee Missionary Baptist Church and Cemetery is a historic church and school at 521 USA Route 319 S. in Beachton, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1918. The church was founded in 1848 by slaves and was originally located "on the outskirts" of Pebble Hill Plantation. The congregation moved to the current location in 1918 after a fire destroyed the previous church.</p><br>
<p>The property has "dates of significance" of 1918 and 1947 recorded in the National Park Service database; such dates are often dates of original construction and later expansion of buildings. It is listed as significant in the areas of architecture and of black history.</p><br>
<p>It is located about 3.8 mi east northeast of the hamlet of Beachton. There is a church named "Little Ochlocknee Baptist Church" which is different; that church is located four miles east of Ochlocknee, Georgia, about 20 miles north.</p><br>
