<p>The John Fitch School is a historic former school building at 156 Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut, United States. Built in 1929 and twice enlarged, it is a prominent local example of the Beaux Arts style, and was the town&#39;s first purpose-built high school. Since 1988, it has served as Fitch Court, a senior housing complex managed by the local housing authority. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former John Fitch School stands west of Windsors village center, on the north side of Bloomfield Avenue (Connecticut Route 305), between Mack Street and Hayden Avenue. It is a complex of three constructions, consisting of the original main block and two large ells. All are single-story or 1-1/2 story masonry structures, built out of buff brick with stone trim. The main block was originally covered by a distinctive green tile roof; this has been replaced by asphalt architectural shingles. At its center is an octagonal cupola with green dome. The main entrance is set in a recess framed by bracketed hood and topped by a Flemish gable, in which a bas-relief of the schools namesake is set in a medallion. John Fitch was a local militia member who died in King Philip&#39;s War.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1921-22 to a design by William Henry McClean, an architect from Boston, Massachusetts. The school was an unusual departure from Connecticut schools of the period, which were typically Colonial Revival in style and built out of red brick. Its two enlargements, in 1929 and 1934, added classroom capacity. The school was readapted as a senior housing facility in 1988. The John Fitch school housed the Windsor Board of Education and rare programs that emerged from the leadership of Paul Sorbo Superintendent of Schools for Windsor. The rare art program in Windsor Schools was created by Menthe Wells who is a Museum Exhibiting Artist and who was on staff in the central office in the Windsor Board of Education for years in the 1960s launching the Art Program. She was on staff of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art where she created other public art projects. In Windsor, her office was located in the historic John Fitch School Building. She created the 40 foot public art Mural, City of the Future in the adjoining building on the Fitch site which was the Sidney Hayden Building. The 40 Foot Mural named City of the Future was a mosaic mural of thousands of pieces of handmade mosaics. The public art mural, paid for by Windsor Public Schools was housed in the John Fitch Auditorium for decades. Photos of The City of the Future were in the Hartford newspapers. Menthe organized participation of over 100 to participate in the individual pieces of mosaic that were used in the creation. Windsor was a leader in the development of art in the era. Paul Sorbo was the Superintendent of Schools and he personally supported the programs that Menthe launched for the school system.</p><br>
<p>The Chocorua Island Chapel is a non-denominational chapel located on the island of the same name on Squam Lake in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the town of Holderness. It is an open-air place of worship, created as an extension of Camp Chocorua, the first summer youth camp in the United States. The open-air chapel was created by the camp&#39;s first season of young boys, made entirely of boulders, trees, various island vegetation, and beach sand.</p><br>
<h2>The camp</h2><br>
<p>Ernest Berkeley Balch was born in 1860, one of fourteen children of Episcopal minister Lewis Penn Witherspoon Balch and his wife. The family lived on an estate in New Hampshire. Rev. Balch had aspirations of establishing a private Episcopal school, and after his 1875 death his widow donated much of the estate to establish the Holderness School.</p><br>
<p>Sources differ on the exact timeline, but either before or after his 1879 enrollment at Dartmouth College, Ernest joined his friends Henry Burke Closson and Charles Merrill Hough on their summer camp-out on Squam Lake. The experience inspired Ernest to start a wilderness camp for young boys, one which would contribute to their spiritual development as well as physical stamina. With help from Hough and other college friends, the camp was constructed on the privately owned Chocorua Island, and began operations the summer of 1881. Apparently, they discovered after the fact that it was not public land. An arrangement was later worked out with the owner for operations to continue. Although it ultimately lost money for its investors, the venture is recognized as the first summer youth camp in America, and considered to be the vanguard for the proliferation of the youth camp culture.</p><br>
<h2>The chapel</h2><br>
<p>The open-air chapel was built by the boys during the camp&#39;s first summer season, clearing the land and using natural elements. From Squam Lake, they retrieved a hunk of granite with the correct shape for a lectern, and placed it beside the "erratic granite boulder" they had re-purposed for an altar. Both altar and lectern were adorned with ferns and wildflowers on Sunday. The benches and the cross were fashioned from native trees on the island; beach sand was used as flooring. Two services were held each Sunday, providing an afternoon one for visitors and an evening service prior to bedtime for the boys.</p><br>
<p>The camp itself ceased operations after the 1889 season, but the chapel continued to serve visitors to the island. The Chocorua Chapel Association was formed by eight individuals in 1903: Ellen Balch and her husband Oliver Whipple Huntington; Edith Balch and her husband Clifford Gray Twombley, an Episcopal minister; Lena Balch and her husband Joseph Howland Coit; Harold Jefferson Coolidge; and W. Percy Van Ness, who became the chapel organist. The association assumed responsibility for the chapel&#39;s operation and continued maintenance, and donations to the chapel are redistributed to non-profit community organizations.</p><br>
<p>Grover Cleveland, whose second term as President of the United States ended in 1897, attended worship services at the chapel during the summer of 1904. Although the camp had fallen into disrepair by that date, the chapel continued to provide worship services for visitors and area residents. Eventually, the Association branched out and ran the chapel as non-denominational. In 1928, the owner of the island donated it to the Association.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP certification</h2><br>
<p>The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Grafton County, New Hampshire on September 20, 2016.</p><br>

<p>The Wolverine Hotel, also known as the Dilworth Hotel or the Wolverine-Dilworth Inn, is a hotel located at 300 Water Street in Boyne City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is the only hotel remaining in the Boyne area dating from the turn-of-the-century era when Boyne City was a booming lumber town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the turn of the 19th century, Boyne City was the lumber capital of northwest Michigan. Related businesses opened their doors in Boyne City, employing more and more men. As the new century progressed, the city grew rapidly, from 912 residents in 1900 to 5,995 residents in 1910. In 1911, a group of Boyne City residents felt the city needed a high-class hotel, a notch above the half-dozen hotels already established in the city. Forty-six residents formed the Boyne City Hotel Company, and commissioned a building to be called the Wolverine Hotel. They hired Price Brothers from East Jordan, Michigan to construct the building. The hotel opened on February 1, 1912.</p><br>
<p>However, by the end of World War I, the timber in the area had been depleted. Businesses around Boyne City closed and residents moved. In 1936, the hotel was purchased by Wesley Dilworth, who renamed it the Dilworth Hotel. During the 1930s and 1940s, the Dilworth became known nationally for hosting the annual Boyne City Smelt Run Banquet. Dilworth sold the hotel in the mid-1940s.</p><br>
<p>The hotel changed hands multiple times, and by the 2000s was struggling. It closed in 2008. The building was purchased by an investor in 2013, with plans to rehabilitate the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wolverine Hotel Hotel is a four-story Classical Revival brick structure with a flat roof. The lower two floors are rectangular in plan, measuring 76 by. The upper two floors are U-shaped. The ground floor is approximately half below grade, with the main floor above about 4 ft above grade. The walls are constructed of red/orange brick. Small white concrete blocks ornament the third-story windows. A sheet metal cornice runs around the building above the fourth-floor windows, and a parapet wall extends above that.</p><br>
<p>The hotel has three porches with square Doric columns on the north, east, and west elevations. These porches are reproductions of the original porches, which were removed at some time in the past.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the lobby has Classic Revival pilasters projecting from the walls, and a beamed, coffered ceiling with ornamental plaster moldings. The wood is dark stained oak, and the floor is porcelain tile. This tile extends down the hallway to the main dining room, which has similar pilasters and coffered ceiling. The dining room also has glass chandeliers and a large fireplace. Another bar/dining room is located in the corner of the building, with the kitchen opposite. A frame addition to the building extends the kitchen space to accommodate freezers and coolers.</p><br>

<p>The Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex is a large complex of state government buildings in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Set on more than 50 acre of downtown Harrisburg, it includes the Pennsylvania State Capitol and a landscaped park environment with monuments, memorials, and other government buildings. It is bounded on the north by Forster Street, the east by North 7th Street, the south by Walnut Street, and the west by North 3rd Street. Most of this area  is a National Historic Landmark District, recognized in 2013 as a fully realized example of the City Beautiful movement landscape and planning design of Arnold Brunner.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex is located in central downtown Harrisburg, four blocks east of the Susquehanna River. Its centerpiece is the Pennsylvania State Capitol, constructed in 1902 - 1906 to a design by Joseph Miller Huston. The capitol is a nationally recognized example of Beaux Arts architecture, and is known for its interior opulence and artwork. On the east side of the capitol is the East Wing, a 1987 extension that greatly expands the building&#39;s capacity without detracting from the surrounding landscape. Flanking the East Wing to the north and south are the North and South Office Buildings, begun in 1927 and 1919 respectively; they are similarly scaled and both built of Indiana limestone in the Classical Revival style, but have slightly different styling. South of the Capitol is the Ryan Office Building, the oldest building (completed 1894) of the complex. Between the two buildings a semicircular walkway provides access to them as well as the East Wing entrance to the Capitol, with a fountain in the center.</p><br>
<p>Across Commonwealth Avenue east of the North and South Office Buildings, a pair of buildings extend the line of the North and South Buildings, with the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Grove, a park setting with many memorials and monuments in between. On the south side of the grove is the Forum, and the Finance Building is to the north. Both continue the use of Indiana limestone and Classical Revival styling. The easternmost portion of the complex is the Soldiers and Sailors Bridge, which connects the complex to neighborhoods across the railroad tracks that run east of North 7th Street.</p><br>
<p>The complex has been extended across North Street to include the Modernist State Museum of Pennsylvania building and the adjacent Department of Transportation building.</p><br>
<p>The complex and greater area is protected full-time by the Pennsylvania Capitol Police—its dedicated law enforcement agency—as well as the Harrisburg Bureau of Police, which patrols the entire city.</p><br>
<h3>Monuments</h3><br>
<p>A Gathering at the Crossroads is a monument on the southern end of the complex near the corner of North Fourth Street and Walnut Street. It commemorates the 100 and 150-year anniversaries of the passing of the Fifteenth Amendment and Nineteenth Amendment.</p><br>

<h2>Development history</h2><br>
<p>Harrisburg&#39;s Capitol Hill has been the seat of Pennsylvania state government since 1822, when its first capitol building was dedicated. That structure, much altered over the 19th century. In 1893 work began on what is now the Ryan Office Building. The first capitol burned down in 1897, and its replacement was abandoned in an unfinished state in 1899 after negative public and legislative response to its exterior. The present capitol was begun in 1902 and completed in 1906.</p><br>
<p>In the 1910s the state recognized the need for additional space, and acquired the area then known as the Eighth Ward, between Commonwealth Avenue and North 7th Street. Arnold Brunner was selected to develop a master landscaping and design plan for this space, which he did using then-fashionable City Beautiful principles. Although only small portions of his vision were realized in his lifetime (he died in 1925), the resulting landscape is very much in keeping with his original plans. The principal deviation is the area now occupied by the East Wing. Brunner had planned this as a "People&#39;s Forecourt", an open space whose landscaping would tie the Capitol and the North and South Buildings together visually. In execution, the area became a parking lot serving the capitol until the East Wing was built, providing a different and more modern type of visual unity.</p><br>
<p>The Capitol building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006. The latter designation was expanded to include the entire area of the complex south of North Street in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Drake Farm is a historic farmstead at 148 Lafayette Road in North Hampton, New Hampshire. Built in 1890, the main farmhouse is a well-preserved example of a connected New England farmstead. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Drake Farm is located in northern North Hampton, on the north side of Lafayette Road (USA Route 1) east of its junction with North Road. The property consists of about 11 acre of land, most of which is now forested. The farmstead is located near the road, with an intervening grassy area adorned by a small wellhouse and a boulder-mounted historical marker. The farmstead is a classic New England 19th-century connected farmstead, with a main house, two-story ell, "back barn", and main barn. The main house is 2-1/2 stories in height and four bays wide, with a side gable roof and single-story porch. The ell is also four bays wide, but narrower and more simply decorated. The main barn is a large rectangular structure with multiple bay entrances on the street-facing ground floor.</p><br>
<p>The property was first farmed in the early 18th century, when Abraham Drake built a house near where the wellhouse stands. That house was occupied by five generation of Drakes, including a soldier in the American Revolutionary War. The present main house block was either built here in 1889-90, or was moved here then from another location; internal evidence suggests it may have been built as early as 1870. The "back barn" connecting it to the main barn is of older construction. The house remained in the Drake family until 1986; the barn has been rehabilitated for commercial uses.</p><br>
<p>The Allen Place–Lincoln Street Historic District encompasses a small neighborhood of late 19th-century housing built for white-collar service workers in southern Hartford, Connecticut. It is roughly bounded by Madison, Washington, and Vernon Streets, and Zion Hill Cemetery, and has well-preserved examples of vernacular Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Until the mid-19th century, the Frog Hollow area on the south side of Hartford was predominantly farmland, with some country estate houses on Washington Street, a main north–south road. By 1880, Broad Street paralleled Washington to the west, and the area between Madison and Vernon Streets had a few houses west of Washington. The area was significantly developed in the 1890s, and was essentially built out after a second major round of building in the 1910s. The houses built here were generally first occupied by lower-class white collar workers in Hartford&#39;s industries, commercial establishments, and the increasingly important insurance industry.</p><br>
<p>The historic district consists of all of the houses facing Allen Place and Lincoln Street, between Washington Street and Affleck Street, and continuing about 1/2 block further west on Allen Place. A few houses are included that face Affleck and Broad Streets, the two north–south cross streets in the district. Most of the houses are 1-1/2 to 3 stories in height, and house between one and three units. Most are of wood-frame construction, although there are a few instances of brick construction. There are several places where virtually identical houses were built side-by-side, an act of economy by the builders. Most of the housing has elements of either Queen Anne or Colonial Revival styling (or some combination), although early examples have some Italianate features.</p><br>
<p>The Ambassador Apartments is an historic residential complex at 206–210 Farmington Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Completed in 1921, it is a significant local example of Renaissance Revival architecture, designed by the prominent local firm of Berenson and Moses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ambassador Apartments are located in Hartford&#39;s Asylum Hill neighborhood, just west of its downtown, on the north side of Farmington Avenue west of its junction with Sigourney Street. It is a large H-shaped building, five stories in height, its exterior consisting of load-bearing brick and cast stone walls. The front building corners consist of brick pilasters with stone capitals, with a pressed metal cornice at the roof line. The ground floor functions visually as an elevated basement, with banded stone between rectangular window openings, and round-arch entrances in the courtyard between the building wings. Second-floor windows are set in openings with bracketed cornices and sills.</p><br>
<p>The complex was built between 1917 and 1921 to a design by the prominent local architectural firm Berenson and Moses. The property was until 1912 part of the mansion estate of Pliny Jewell, owner of a local belt manufacturer. When built, its 128 apartments featured all of the latest amenities, including a parking garage for tenant vehicles and a dining hall seating 300. The then-furnished northeast wing was damaged by fire in 1920; damage was limited by firewalls, but delayed completion of the entire building. Nicolo Carabillo, the developer, failed to turn a profit, and sold the building in 1925 to avoid foreclosure. By the 1970s the building had declined in grandeur, and was acquired by the Aetna Insurance Company, whose headquarters are nearby. Aetna sold the building in 1999 after completing extensive rehabilitation to its apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Evergreen Corner Rural Historic District in Haxtun, Colorado, is a 160 acre farm property, a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Swedish immigrant Gustav Lindholm homesteaded the property in March 1887 but died in July 1887. Henry A. Flaker, of Nebraska, bought the land in 1917 and built a barn, a house, and a tankhouse, and planted evergreens to shelter it, naming it Evergreen Corner. Flaker&#39;s farm produced winter wheat and hogs. Lawrence Heermann bought the farm in 1946 and farmed wheat and beef cattle.</p><br>
<p>According to the NRHP nomination, the district "is an excellent example of a Phillips County farmstead; a working landscape that illustrates the development of agriculture from the 1910s through the 1960s."</p><br>
<p>As of 2013, the district included four contributing buildings, 11 contributing structures, one contributing site, and two contributing objects, as well as eight non-contributing resources.</p><br>
<p>West San Jose School, also known as Riverview School, is a historic former elementary school in the Barelas neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1936–37 as a Works Progress Administration project and operated as a school until 1975. It is now part of the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The building was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>West San Jose School was built in 1936–7 by the now-defunct Bernalillo County school district. The existing school in the area, South Second Street, was a converted church with only three classrooms and was in a bad location adjacent to the railyard. Due to the inadequacy of this facility, many of the neighborhood students had been forced to attend the similarly crowded Barelas School, or the East San Jose School (the latter requiring a dangerous railroad crossing). The county superintendent, Margaret Easterday, wanted to replace the Barelas and South Second Street schools with a large new facility, but had only $2,500 available for the project. Nevertheless, the district purchased land for a new school in February 1936.</p><br>
<p>Easterday initially planned to build a small two-room school as a stopgap measure, expanding it when funds allowed. However, this turned out to be unnecessary thanks to the unprecedented public works funding available from President Franklin D. Roosevelt&#39;s New Deal programs. With assistance from Governor Clyde Tingley, the school district was able to secure a grant of $53,000 from the Works Progress Administration to build the school. The construction project, using adobe bricks and traditional building methods, lasted ten months and employed 70 workers. The school opened to students in the fall of 1937, after which the South Second Street and Barelas schools were closed.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, West San Jose was absorbed into Albuquerque Public Schools along with the rest of the county system. In the late 1950s the name was changed to Riverview Elementary. Both Riverview and the nearby Coronado Elementary were closed in 1975 when a new school, Dolores Gonzales, was built. In 1977 the unused school was converted into a job skills center under the control of the Technical Vocational Institute (now Central New Mexico Community College). The school was renovated in the early 2000s and now houses the library and archives of the National Hispanic Cultural Center.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>West San Jose School is a one-story adobe building designed in the Pueblo Revival style by local architect Louis G. Hesselden. The floorplan is H-shaped with projecting wings on either side of a central block. The roofline is stepped, with a curved parapet above the projecting main entry, and the walls are stuccoed and buttressed at the corners. The classrooms are illuminated by large 9/9 sash windows, with smaller 4/4 and 2/2 windows elsewhere. The entrances to the building have double doors with transoms and sidelights.</p><br>
<p>The First National Bank of Ekalaka and Rickard Hardware Store Building, in Ekalaka, Montana, was built in 1940. In 2015 it became the first-listed historic site in Carter County to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Carter was the last of Montana&#39;s 56 counties to get one.</p><br>
<p>It was designed and built by contractor V.E. Figg. (1893–1984).</p><br>
<p>It is the only Streamline Moderne building in Ekalaka. It now serves as the town&#39;s town hall and public library.</p><br>
<p>49–51 Spring Street in Hartford, Connecticut is a significant local example of Richardsonian Romanesque residential architecture. It was built about 1890 for the locally prominent Allyn family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The apartment building at 49–51 Spring Street is one of two residential apartment blocks standing on the west side of Spring Street between Garden and Myrtle Streets. The setting is now one of urban renewal, the buildings surrounded by parking lots on three sides, and Interstate 84 passing not far to the east, separating the buildings from Downtown Hartford. This building is three stories in height, built out of brick with brownstone trim. It is five bays wide, with the entrance at the center, recessed under a Syrian arch. The outer bays and center bay are topped visually by large round-arch panels, with polygonal bay windows on the first and second floors of the outer bays, and on the second floor above the entrance in the center.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the death of Joseph Smith in 1844, James Strang founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite), a faction of the Latter Day Saint movement (i.e. the Mormons) that he claimed to be the sole legitimate continuation of the Church. In 1847, Strang and some of his followers moved to the then largely uninhabited Beaver Island. The colony of St. James quickly grew, and by 1850, there were several thousand people in the Beaver Islands, most of them Mormon.</p><br>
<p>In 1850, Strang and his followers constructed this building as a print shop. On December 12 of that year they printed the first issue of the Northern Islander, one of the earliest papers published in northern Michigan. It was published first as a weekly, and later as a daily, and carried both general news and columns dealing with the religious ideas of Strang. The shop was also used to print books.</p><br>
<p>Strang, however, had made many enemies, and in June 1856 he was shot, dying a few weeks later. Shortly after Strang&#39;s shooting, Beaver Island was invaded by a mob of non-Mormons from the mainland portion of Michigan, who sacked many of the buildings and forcibly evicted the residents. The mob took control of the print shop, and issued an edition of the Northern Islander listing their grievances.</p><br>

He settled in Dresden, and when his wife died in 1870, emigrated to the United States. He toured for a time with actress Fanny Janauschek, and in 1882 purchased and began operating a German newspaper in Rock Island, Illinois. In 1887, while on a trip in Lake Michigan, a storm forced Protar&#39;s ship into the Beaver Island harbor at St. James. He became enchanted with the island, and spent his summers there for the next five years.</p><br>
<p>In 1893, Protar moved to Beaver Island permanently. He chose for his house a log cabin constructed by an Irish settler in about 1860. He soon realized the extreme need on the island for a physician, began studying medicine, and was soon practicing as an unlicensed physician. Protar continued living in this house, and practicing medicine, until his death in 1925, never leaving the island.</p><br>
<p>Protar&#39;s neighbors erected a bronze tablet on his grave in 1928, reading, "to our Heaven sent friend in need, Feodora Protar, who never failed us. In imperishable gratitude and adoration. His people of Beaver Island." The cabin fell disrepair for a number of years, and in 1971 a new roof and porch were constructed.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1870, Horton Bay&#39;s founder Samuel Horton established a homestead at this site. In 1876, Alonzo J. Stroud and William H. Ohle set up a sawmill near here and were soon employing up to 30 workers. With the influx of workers, Horton Bay quickly grew into a small community, and the need for a general store and other services soon became apparent. William H. Ohle withdrew from the sawmill business and concentrated on real estate and construction in the new community. Tradition has it that Ohle supervised the construction of the Horton Bay General Store, as well as many other early buildings in the community (including the next-door boardinghouse, now the Red Fox Inn. The General Store was likely built in 1876 or 1877.</p><br>
<p>The store was constructed as a typical late nineteenth-century general store. The entire first floor carried a general stock of groceries, hardware, clothing, and other products, while the second floor served as living quarters for the proprietor. In 1879, the first post office for Horton Bay was located in the store.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The four-story brick and concrete structure was built in 1915, to house the Tidyman Candy Company, owned by confectioner Melvin Tidyman. At the time, the Racine Journal-News reported that its construction cost $55,000. During World War I, the building was used by the American Red Cross. It was purchased by attorney Joseph Muratore in 1964, and as of 2015 was owned by his son Joseph Jr. The building continues to be used primarily as office space, most prominently for graphic design firm Image Management. July 2021 the building was acquired by Badger Building LLC Proprietor Kenneth Brown. It is now the home of EYEopenerZ, an upscale optical boutique, owned and operated by Mr Brown. Some modern renovations to the front facade are planned to restore the 1915 original as current regulations allow, to create ADA accessibility. Completion expected Spring of 2025.</p><br>
