<p>The South Metter Residential Historic District is a 67 acre historic district in Metter, Georgia that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by Vertia St. on the north, S. Leroy St. on the east, Hiawatha St. on the south, and S. Kennedy St. on the west. It is intersected by north-south Roundtree and Lewis Streets and by east-west Pine and Neal Streets. It included 77 contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and two contributing sites, as well as 21 non-contributing buildings and 10 non-contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>It is level land which James Terrell Trapnell subdivided in 1899 into a grid pattern of rectangular blocks. Most houses date from the late 1890s to 1940 and are of three major architectural styles: "Victorian Eclectic" from 1890s to 1910s, Craftsman/Bungalow from 1910s through 1930s, and English Tudor cottage style from the 1920s and 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Cornell Pulpwood Stacker is located at Millyard Park in Cornell, Wisconsin, United States. It was utilized to move pulpwood logs into large piles so they could be sent through waterways to paper mills. The stacker operated at the Cornell Wood Products Mill from 1912 until its obsolescence in 1971. It is listed both on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as on the Wisconsin State Historical Society listing of Cornell Millyard Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Pulpwood Stacker on the east bank of the Chippewa River at Cornell, Wisconsin was manufactured to streamline the Cornell Wood Products Mill pulpwood process. It was designed by Joor Engineering Company of England and constructed on-site in 1912 by Minneapolis Tool and Machinery Company.</p><br>
<p>Wisconsin had become a major manufacturer of paper and pulpwood products in the United States by the last half of the 19th century. By extension, the timber industry was one of the state&#39;s most important employers. As the labor market changed in early part of the 20th century, employers looked towards mechanization to achieve the same results.</p><br>
<p>Timber was cut into logs at the pulpwood mill, and then stockpiled on the premises before being sent along the river to paper mills. Operating with a 35-bhp motor at a 45-degree angle,</p><br>
<p>The stacker&#39;s 36 ft wide base narrows to a 10 ft tip giving it an elongated pyramid shape. It moved logs with a wire and metal conveyor system, and expelled them through a chute. Similar to how a bridge is repaired, a catwalk along one side is provided for maintenance workers to climb up and down the equipment. It became obsolete in 1971, replaced by more economical and effective methods of moving logs. A fire two decades later destroyed most of the stacker buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Millyard Park and historic certification</h2><br>
<p>Both the stacker and land upon which it sits are now owned by the city of Cornell, which created Millyard Park to commemorate that part of the citys history. The stackers condition had deteriorated by 1991, and the city began fund raising with a goal of collecting $50,000 for needed repairs. On October 10 of that year, the Cornell City Council made application to the Wisconsin State Historical Society, and the National Register of Historic Places in an effort to qualify for matching funds. Wisconsin State Historical Society added Cornell Millyard Park to the state register of historic properties on July 9, 1993. The stacker alone was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 23, 1993. In their research into its qualifications for historic status, the National Park Service concluded that it "is possibly the only remaining structure of its kind."</p><br>
<p>A "Save the Stacker" fund was set up in Cornell, where as of 2009, it was estimated that it would take a minimum of $350,000 to clean off the rust and refinish the old equipment, a process that would require workers to climb up the left side of the 175 ft stacker at its 45-degree angle. As of 2016, the city approved $23,000 from a special fund to make needed repairs. The city&#39;s long-range goal is to raise $500,000 within the next two decades for a complete renovation.</p><br>

<p>The Buckingham Square District of Hartford, Connecticut encompasses a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood area just south of the city&#39;s downtown. It is centered around Buckingham Square, laid out in 1830 on the site of an early colonial-era church. The district includes a concentration of well-preserved Victorian architecture from the 1860s to 1890s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and slightly enlarged in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Buckingham Square area is part of Hartfords earliest settlement, with Main and Buckingham Streets appearing on maps as early as 1640. That intersection was the site of a church built in 1670 by congregants who split from the citys First Congregational Church. When that church was demolished in the early 19th century, its site became Buckingham Park. The area between the park and Main Street was built out in the second half of the 19th century with mixed commercial-residential construction, while the roads stretching westward remained predominantly residential, with mainly brick and brownstone row houses lining the streets.</p><br>
<p>The core of the historic district consists of two city blocks, bounded on the east by Main Street, the north by Capitol Avenue, the west by Hudson Street, and the south by Buckingham Street. It extends from this core to include buildings between Capitol Avenue and Linden Place, and a portion of the south side of Buckingham between John and Hudson Streets. The district was extended in 1982 to also include a single building facing Hudson Street just south of Buckingham. The buildings are stylistically diverse, with early buildings in the Italianate style, and later constructions in the Second Empire, Romanesque, and Gothic Revival.</p><br>
<p>The Red Fox Inn, also known as the Horton Bay House, is a building, originally, a boardinghouse, located at 05156 Boyne City Road in Horton Bay, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The inn is mentioned in Ernest Hemingways short story, "Up in Michigan," and tradition has it that the inns proprietor during the 1910s and 20s, Vollie Fox, taught Hemingway how to fish.</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. Ohle supervised the construction of many early buildings in the community These included the Horton Bay General Store, as well as the next-door boardinghouse (now the Red Fox Inn) in about 1878.</p><br>
<p>The boardinghouse soon acquired the name "Horton Bay House," and it served as a boardinghouse for millworkers, and as a hotel for transients. The boardinghouse function lasted until the mill closed in 1890. Although the Horton Bay House still operated as a hotel, the transient population was declining, and much of the space was rented to local families on a long-term basis. During this time, the house was owned by James Dilworth, who had been a blacksmith at the sawmill. In 1910, Dilworth sold the building to James Wixham Fox, the local highway commissioner, and his wife Mary. James Fox died in 1914, and in 1915 Mary signed over the property to her son Vollie Fox.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, Vollie Fox and his wife Lizzie Spura Fox established a restaurant in the building, the Red Fox Inn. As the automobile became more pervasive, this area of northwestern lower Michigan was becoming a popular summer tourist destination, and the Red Fox Inn catered to the burgeoning tourist trade. Vollie Fox died in 1947 and Lizzie Spura Fox, became the sole owner. In 1955, Lizzie Fox sold the Red Fox Inn to her daughter, Marian Ruth Fox Hartwell. Hartwell owned the Inn until 1984, when she sold it to her son, James Vol Hartwell. The restaurant in the building remained in operation until the 1970s. After that time, the Red Fox Inn served as a bed-and-breakfast, operating during the summer months.</p><br>
<p>The Red Fox Inn also served as a local products store, including Ernest Hemingway memorabilia. James Vol Hartwell died in 2015, and the building and store passed to his children, Ernest and Prudence Hartwell.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Red Fox Inn is a two-story, side-gable, white-painted building constructed in a later 19th century vernacular style. It is clad with clapboard with narrow cornerboards, and has projecting eaves with plain raking cornices. A screened-in porch runs the width of the front.</p><br>
<p>The interior has three large dining rooms on the first floor, as well as a series of kitchen rooms added in stages from about 1919 to 1935. The second story contains four guest rooms, a parlor, and a bathroom. The third floor is a long, unfinished stand-up attic. The entire house has the original woodwork, as well as the original paneled doors, knobs and hinges.</p><br>
<p>Richthofen Castle is a historic 35-room mansion in the neighborhood of Montclair in the City and County of Denver, Colorado, United States. Completed in 1887, it was originally designed by Alexander Cazin for Baron Walter von Richthofen, a German immigrant and member of the prominent Richthofen aristocratic family. Additions and remodels on the house were later made by Maurice Biscoe and Henry Hewitt in 1910 and Jules Jaques Benedict in 1924. The mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Horton Bay School is a school building located at 04991 Boyne City-Charlevoix Road in Horton Bay, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>What is now Bay Township, Michigan was part of Evangeline Township, established in 1855. However, settlement of the township was sparse until the early 1870s, when the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad constructed a line to Petoskey. During the 1872/73 school year, the county was split into four school districts; District Number 3 included the area around what is now Horton Bay. During the 1877/75 school year, a log schoolhouse was built at the corner of what are today Sumner and Camp Daggett roads, about a mile east of Horton Bay. The log schoolhouse served District Number 3 until the 1885/86 school year.</p><br>
<p>During the 1885/86 school year, District Number 3 spent $627.43 to construct this school, then located at the corner of Camp Sherwood and Zenith Heights roads, two miles east of Horton Bay. Around the same time, another frame schoolhouse was constructed for District Number 2, and located on this site. In 1887, Bay Township was carved out of Evangeline Township, with the former Evangeline Township School Districts 2 and 3 becoming the new Bay Township School Districts 2 and 3. This building served the students of Bay Township School District 3 until 1943, when the district was consolidated with the Boyne City schools.</p><br>
<p>However, in the mid-1940s, the schoolhouse used by Bay Township School District 2 burned, and classes were held in the township hall for two years. In the later 1940s, the Boyne City School District auctioned off the old Bay Township School District 3 building, and Bay Township School District 2 submitted the winning bid. This building was moved to Horton Bay, to the site of the burned school. It continued to serve the students of Bay Township School District 2 until 1963, when this district was also consolidated into a neighboring district.</p><br>
<p>After being closed as a school, the building became the property of the nearby Horton Bay United Methodist Church, who used it as a parish house. However, the building became used less and less, and by the early 2000s, the church considered selling the building for removal from the site. A Horton Bay Schoolhouse Restoration Committee was established to raise funds and restore the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Horton Bay School is a single story, gable-front building with an open square-plan and a pyramid-roof cupola containing a large bell. The walls are white-painted and clapboarded walls. The front of the building has an open shed-roof porch, and the rear has a low hip-roof woodshed projection.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the school has an entry vestibule flanked with boys and girls cloakrooms. Exits from the cloakrooms lead to the single large schoolroom, at the back of which are small paneled doors for the girls and boys toilets, and another door leading to the woodshed. The walls have three-foot high wainscoting, and slate blackboards line one wall.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. David Brandon House, also known as Hayes House, in Thomasville, Georgia, was built as a one-story brick house in 1851. A second floor with mansard roof was added in the 1870s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Thomas Jones of Greenwood Plantation to serve as a wedding gift for his daughter Harriet and her husband, Dr. David S.Brandon. The house was sold to Mrs. John H. Hayes in 1862 and remained in the Hayes family in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Hardy Bryan House, also known as Cater House, in Thomasville, Georgia, was built in c.1833. It is a well-preserved example of an antebellum plantation house.

<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story Plantation Style house with a two-story portico supported by four square columns. As of 1970, all of its windows were 16 over 16, many with their original glass.</p><br>
<p>The Burch-Mitchell House, also known as Munro House or as Mitchell House, located in Thomasville, Georgia, was built in 1848. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Robert Sims Burch using slave labor in 1856, built upon a c.1848 foundation. Its NRHP nomination describes it as "excellent" and as one of the finest cottages in Thomasville. It is a one-and-a-half-story building with a front gable second floor overhanging a front porch, supported by six square pillars. Its original detached kitchen and dining room were destroyed by a fire in 1888 and replacements were added to the main house. The house was originally set far back from the road, down a magnolia-lined lane, but it was moved forward to its existing location. The kitchen and dining room portion is now used as a house on an adjacent lot. The property was bought by the Mitchell family after the American Civil War and remained in that family for more than 90 years, until purchased by the Rev. and Mrs. B.G. Munro.</p><br>
<p>The first floor front of the house has four double-hung windows and a Greek Revival-style doorway with sidelights, transom, fluted pilasters, and paneled door. The pediment above has two windows off an unfinished attic space. The interior, as of 1969, had almost all of its original Greek Revival style woodwork, which was of high quality.</p><br>
<p>The East Main Street Commercial Historic District in Statesboro, Georgia is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It then included 16 contributing buildings: all eight buildings comprising the north side of East Main Street on the block from Siebold Street to Oak Street , and eight buildings on the south side of that block, from Oak Street returning to an alley before Siebold Street is reached .</p><br>
<p>The three-story Beaux Arts-style Bank of Statesboro building at East Main and Siebold is one of two "outstanding" buildings in the district (it is now an art gallery). It has Ionic columns at its main entrance and Corinthian pilasters on its second and third floors. The other is the Art Moderne Georgia Theatre (1936) (now named the Emma Kelly Theater).</p><br>
<p>Statesboro was the subject of a wider survey of historic resources completed at the same time as the NRHP nomination for the district.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Reichert is a historic hotel building in Long Prairie, Minnesota, United States. It was built from 1902 to 1903 to provide first-class accommodations as well as commercial space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for having local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for its role in the development and growth of Long Prairie.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Reichert is a two-story brick building on the northeast corner of an intersection in the heart of Long Prairie&#39;s original business district. It measures 141 ft by 107 ft, with an indentation from the north end giving it a "U" shape from above.</p><br>
<p>The hotel entrance was on the west façade, with the lobby, dining room, and a caretaker&#39;s apartment on the ground floor and all the guest rooms on the upper floor. The south façade offered ground-floor access to three separate retail spaces. To help visitors distinguish which entrance was which, a stone panel over the west entrance reads "Hotel Reichert" while the panel over the south entrance reads "Reichert Building".</p><br>
<p>The exterior is styled in a simple, commercial version of Neoclassical architecture. Both street façades are symmetrical, with centered entryways topped by oriel windows on the second floor and triangular pediments on the roofline. The west entrance is recessed behind a three-arch loggia. The arches are supported by polished granite columns with sandstone capitals. Three arched windows to the north—which look into what was originally the hotel dining room—match the decorative brickwork around the loggia arches. The south entrance is characterized by a horizontal entablature supported by four Tuscan order pilasters.</p><br>
<p>The ground-floor windows—situated by the caretaker&#39;s apartment at the northwest corner and across the rear façade—have shallow segmental arches. The sills of the second-story windows form a continuous belt course of sandstone. These sash windows are topped by jack arches with upwardly protruding keystones. Above this is another belt course and a dentilled cornice.</p><br>
<p>Pyramidal corner towers once protruded from the building&#39;s roof, but these have since been removed. The shop windows have been altered by infilling, but the original dimensions are readily discerned.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Reichert literally rose from the ashes of Long Prairies first hotel, the Long Prairie House, founded in 1869 by German immigrant Ignatz Reichert. That hotel operated through the turn of the 20th century, when it was destroyed in a fire. The elder Reichert had retired by this time, but his sons John J., Mike L., and Henry L. Reichert, and son-in-law Edward S. Schenk commissioned a new building on the same site. The buildings elaborate floorplan and detailing suggest that it was designed by a professional architect, but surviving documents fail to reveal a name. The contractor was William King of Wadena, Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>The design of the Hotel Reichert was considerably more sophisticated than would usually be found in a community of Long Prairies size. It signaled its owners confidence in the citys further growth. For the hotels grand opening in 1903, local business organizations sponsored a dinner and dance attended by over 300 people. A first-class hotel was a significant amenity in growing towns of the era, "often providing"—in the words of historian Thomas L. Jenkinson—"the first and lasting impressions of the community" in the minds of businessmen and prospective residents.</p><br>
<p>As of 2017 the building is a 17-unit affordable housing facility known as Reichert Place.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Madison Monroe Holland House in Statesboro, Georgia is a Queen Anne-style house which was built in 1888 and expanded in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The listing included three contributing buildings and one contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>Queen Anne features include asymmetric massing, a turret on the front facade, a wrap-around porch and a central second-floor balcony. It has dormers with paired double-hung windows, a pressed metal mansard roof, and weatherboard siding.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1888 as a one-story four-bedroom residence. It was expanded to add a second floor with six rooms and a balcony in 1908, allowing Dr. Holland to use the second floor as his medical office and a small hospital, and to close his separate medical office downtown. The county had no hospital at the time. He used the second floor&#39;s northeast bedroom, which includes the Queen Anne turret, as his office.</p><br>
<p>A historic barn is gone, but the property still had, in 1989, a cane boiler, a smokehouse, and a later-built but still historic automobile garage.</p><br>
<p>Statesboro was the subject of a wider survey of historic resources completed at the same time as the NRHP nomination for the district.</p><br>
<p>The John J. and Eva Reynier Porter Estate, also known as Elm Pointe, is a house, with associated outbuildings, located at 01787 M-66 South in South Arm Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William P. Porter arrived in East Jordan, Michigan in 1879 to establish a sawmill. The company he founded, the East Jordan Lumber Company, eventually owned two sawmills, a shingle mill, and a maple flooring plant, and extensive timberland. Williams son John J. Porter was born in 1885. He attended Oberlin College and the University of Michigan, after which he returned to the area and took over the East Jordan Lumber Company sales force. As the areas timber was depleted in the 1920s, the Porters envisioned a conversion to agriculture, and to that end helped establish the East Jordan Canning Company in 1927. By 1931 John Porter was president of the firm.</p><br>
<p>In 1925, the East Jordan Lumber Company conveyed the title to Elm Pointe, where this estate now stands, to John and Eva Reynier Porter. The Porters soon had this estate constructed on the property. The Porters hired Grand Rapids architect J. Alexander McColl to design the estate. The house presumably used East Jordan Lumber Company materials, and may have been designed in part to showcase the company&#39;s products.</p><br>
<p>The Porters sold the estate to Robert W. and Augustine Allen in 1942. The Allens used the house as their summer home, and constructed a large garage/lodge on the property. After Robert&#39;s death, Augustine married George Westgate. In 1972, the Westgates donated the property to the city of East Jordan, with the understanding that it would be used for public purposes. The city installed picnic tables and cooking grills on the property, and in 1976 leased the lodge to the Portside Art and Historical Society, who opened a history museum there. The house can be rented for weddings and other events.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Porter Estate covers about seven acres of gently sloping ground on Lake Charlevoix. A small creek divides the property in half. South of the creek is an open lawn area with a circular drive. Along the drive are the main house, a large garage/lodge, and a smaller garage.</p><br>
<p>The house on the Porter Estate is a one-and-one-half-story Colonial Revival structure with a complex set of gable and hip roofs, The building is clad with wood shingles. The broad front has a projecting gabled section at either end, one projecting much further than the other. The main roof rises above these gables, and contains shed dormers on the side roofs. Broad plate glass windows, original to the house, illuminate the interior. The inside has wooden paneling and beamed ceilings. The attic of the house contains a large open room known as "the dormitory" that provided overnight space guests. The house still contains the intact furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The smaller garage is a two-bay structure, with a shingled finish much like the house. The larger garage/lodge structure is a two-bay utilitarian, front-gable building constructed of concrete block and clad with wooden shingles.</p><br>
<p>The James Alonzo Brannen House is a house built in 1881 in Statesboro, Georgia. It is notable as the oldest residence in the town and for its association with lawyer J. A. Brannen , for whom it was built, and who served as the town&#39;s first mayor.</p><br>
<p>The house is a single-story frame house with an L-shaped plan. Its porch, with four columns on brick piers, was added c.1917.</p><br>
<p>Brannen founded the Statesboro Eagle and Statesboro News newspapers, and he owned and developed property that is now in the West Main Street Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It has some elements of Late Victorian / Queen Anne style, such as its fish-scale shingles on the end and front gables. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Statesboro was the subject of a wider survey of historic resources completed at the same time as the NRHP nomination for the district.</p><br>
<p>The Harris-Murrow-Trowell House in Screven County, Georgia was built 1889 as one of the first houses in the small village of Oliver, after Central of Georgia Railway established a stop there. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination described it as having "local significance in the area of architecture as a good</p><br>
<p>example of a 1889 gabled wing cottage type house with an attached tenant house on the rear</p><br>
<p>elevation. According to Georgia&#39;s Living Places: Historic Houses in Their Landscaped Settings,</p><br>
<p>gabled wing cottages were built throughout Georgia primarily between 1875 and 1915 on farms and</p><br>
<p>in Georgia&#39;s towns and cities. It was a popular house type that was built throughout the state in both</p><br>
<p>modest and well-to-do parts of the state. The gabled wing cottage is either T-or L-shaped and</p><br>
<p>usually has a gabled roof. Other than the rear addition, the Harris-Murrow-Trowell House retains its</p><br>
<p>historic exterior and interior finishes and materials and has changed little since its construction."</p><br>
<p>The Amos Bull House is a historic house at 59 South Prospect Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1788, it is one of only a few surviving 18th-century buildings in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1968. It presently houses the main offices of Connecticut Landmarks, a historic preservation organization.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Amos Bull House stands just south of the Pulaski Mall, south of Downtown Hartford, on the west side of South Prospect Street. This is not the house&#39;s original location, which was a short way west on Main Street; it has been moved twice. It is a -story brick building with a gambrel roof. It is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay. Openings on the front facade are rectangular, and topped by splayed brownstone lintels. The front cornice is adorned with dentil moulding, a detail repeated in gabled dormers projecting from the roof. On the exposed side elevation there is a small sash window in a peaked-gable opening in the gable area, with a smaller half-round window above it just below the roof ridge. The interior only retains a few traces of its 18th-century origin.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s exact construction date is unknown. It was standing by 1791, when Amos Bull advertised his dry goods business from its address. Since he sold it in 1820, it has housed a variety of commercial enterprises. Originally located facing Main Street, it was moved back from the sidewalk in the early 20th century, and was later moved across the block to its present location.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Pacific Building was built in 1914 by Andreas Romero, who also owned a butcher shop on the same block. The first tenant was a furniture store, followed by a car dealership from 1918 to 1922 and then a furniture store again. In 1942 the building was bought by the Pacific Desk Company, an office furniture retailer, which remained in business until 1980. Local investors bought the building in 1980 and renovated it as office space in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Pacific Building is a two-story, rectangular building with a partial basement. The facade is yellow brick with a cast iron storefront, one of the few remaining in the city. The second floor has eight evenly spaced 1/1 sash windows under a pair of cast iron hoods and a stepped parapet. On the ground floor, there are large display windows on either side of a recessed entry. The interior of the building has an open first floor with cast iron columns and an ornate pressed metal ceiling. The second floor had removable partitions installed in the 1940s and was reported to be unused in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The East Jordan Lumber Company Store Building is a commercial building located at 104 Main Street in East Jordan, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. It is next to, and shares a wall with, the Votruba Block; both buildings have been rehabilitated to form the Main Street Center office complex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>East Jordan was originally settled in the late 1870s. In 1879, Joseph Glenn moved a sawmill to the East Jordan. At approximately the same time, he built a one-story frame general store at this site, which sold a broad range of items including groceries, hardware, housewares, and clothing. Soon after his nephew, William P. Porter, purchased a half-interest in the business, which took the name of Glenn & Porter. In 1888, Glenn sold his interest in the mill, and the company changed its name to the East Jordan Lumber Company.</p><br>
<p>In about 1899, the company moved the original wooden store to State Street, and began construction on the current building, likely at the same time the adjoining Vortruba Block was constructed. The new building housed the East Jordan Lumber Company general store, which took up both first-floor storefronts, and the company offices, which were housed on the second floor. Porter, and later his sons, had offices in the building. Other portions of the second floor were occupied by a Masonic Lodge, and various professional offices, including doctors and dentists.</p><br>
<p>The East Jordan Lumber Company mills closed in the 1920s, but by that time Porter had established the East Jordan Canning Company, which used and promoted the agricultural crops of the region. The general store discontinued sales of clothing and dry goods in the 1920s, concentrating on hardware and groceries. It continued in business until 1938, when the grocery section was sold to Mr. and Mrs E.H. Clark, who had been operating the store since the late 1920s. In 1939, the hardware section of the store was sold to William A. Porter, one of William P. Porter&#39;s sons.</p><br>
<p>The grocery store operated until the 1950s, under the name Quality Food Market and later the Maxwell Market. It was succeeded by a five-and-dime store. The hardware store operated into the 1950s as Porter Hardware, and later as Olson Hardware. The second floor continued to house professional offices into the 1960s. From 1942 t0 1954, J Van Dellen, M.D., had his office in the SE part of the second floor, 25 steps up for patients. In the 1970s the building was occupied by Snizbee&#39;s Five and Dime. By the 1990s, it was vacant.</p><br>
<p>In 2002-2004, it was rehabilitated as part of the Main Street Center office building project.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The East Jordan Lumber Company Store Building is a two-story brick Late Victorian structure, and measuring 46 feet across and 100 feet in depth. It is constructed of red brick, with wood framing and an iron cornice. The front is divided into two storefronts, each containing a central ground floor entry. An entry staircase to the second story is between the storefronts. The second story facade contains four double-hung windows above each storefront, with the center two in round arches. The attic level contains pairs of small double-hung windows above the round-arched ones, flanked with a vertical brickwork treatment. Decorative brickwork and a pressed metal cornice top the structure. The street-level storefront has been reconstructed to be compatible with the Victorian elements of the building.</p><br>
<p>The interior originally contained a large open space on the first floor, and a long hallway on the second floor opening onto offices on either side. During rehabilitation, both stories were converted into office suites.</p><br>
<p>The Votruba Block is a commercial building located at 112 Main Street in East Jordan, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. It is next to, and shares a wall with, the East Jordan Lumber Company Store Building; both buildings have been rehabilitated to form the Main Street Center office complex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Votruba family was part of a substantial settlement of Bohemians in Antrim and Charlevoix counties that began in the late 1860s. John and Anna Votruba were among the settlement&#39;s pioneers, settling in the area in 1871. Their son James J. Votruba was born in 1871 shortly after his parent arrived. In the mid-1890s, James Votruba moved to the nearby East Jordan, which was then in the midst of a lumber boom, and apparently became involved in commercial interests in the town.</p><br>
<p>In 1899, Votruba had this commercial building constructed to house a general store selling groceries, harnesses, and notions. By 1903, Vortuba had given up the business in favor of becoming a travelling salesman, and a new business, the East Jordan Harness Company, occupied the building. This was replaced by a furniture store, possibly owned by Votruba, in 1905. In 1907, James Votruba was back in the general store business, and opened a new store selling groceries, harness, farm implements, confectionery, and other goods in the Votruba block. The upstairs portion of the building briefly housed the Masonic Lodge, and then in 1907-1910 a dance hall. In 1910, the hall reportedly began serving as the meeting place for the Knights of Pythias.</p><br>
<p>James Votrubacontinued to operate the store until his death in 1928. Afterward, a series of businesses used the space. By the 1950s, Healy Hardware occupied the building, staying until the 1980s. Two pizza businesses followed during the 1990s. The building was vacant for a time, and severe deterioration.</p><br>
<p>In 2002–2004, it was rehabilitated as part of the Main Street Center office building project.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Votruba Block is a two-story Late Victorian commercial building with red brick masonry walls, wooden framing, and an iron cornice. It measures 23 feet across and 100 feet in depth. The building has a central-entry storefront on the ground level, with a narrow staircase at one end accessing the second floor. The second story contains two pairs of double-hung windows with round-arch transoms, and the attic story has a short pair of double-hung windows in the center, flanked by a small round window on either side. A decorative galvanized iron cornice tops the facade of the building.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the first floor of the building originally contained a large store space on the first floor, and a kitchen space was later included at the rear. The front two-thirds of the second story contained an apartment, and the rear section contained a large a single room. The recent rehabilitation project resulted in the redevelopment of both floors into office suites.</p><br>
<p>The Boyne City Water Works Building is a municipal industrial building located at 210 East Division Street in Boyne City, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the lumber boom of the early 1900s, Boyne Citys population growth soared, rising from 912 in 1900 to 5995 in 1910, plus an estimated 3000 transient lumber workers. The expansion rendered the citys water system obsolete, and in early 1910 the city council directed the city&#39;s board of public works to estimate "the expense of constructing and extending the water works system." In April voters approved a bond to do so. Plans were drawn up to construct a 500,000 gallon reservoir and an associated pumping station. The Manufacturing & Supply Co. was hired to construct the water works building for $1075.00 in September 1910; they subcontracted the work to local contractor Bill Jentzen. It is likely the building was completed before the end of the year.</p><br>
<p>The water works building served the Boyne City populace from 1910 until 1988, when a new pump building replaced it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Boyne City Water Works Building is a single-story rectangular brick gable-roof structure measuring twenty feet in width by fifty feet in length. It sits on a concrete foundation. Buttress piers project slightly at the corners, and divide the side walls into three sections. Corbelled brickwork runs between the upper ends of the piers. The front gable contains a low stepped parapet and a recessed central panel with the date of construction. The windows are paired, double-hung, four-over-four units in square head openings. Each end of the building has a window and door pair.</p><br>
<p>The North Main Street Commercial Historic District in Statesboro, Georgia is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It includes eight adjacent contributing buildings on the west side of the first block of North Main Street. It does not include the property at the corner of West Main and North Main, but rather is the next eight buildings going north from that, to and including the corner of Courtland Street.</p><br>
<p>The buildings are one- and two-story brick commercial buildings with shared walls. The two-story ones have pressed-metal cornices. The main architectural style is Italianate, reflected in round-arched window openings. No original storefronts are present; all have been modernized.</p><br>
<p>Statesboro was the subject of a wider survey of historic resources completed at the same time as the NRHP nomination for the district.</p><br>

<p>Much of it consists of continuous rows of commercial storefronts along East 6th Street and north, in a historic commercial core area. There is also the courthouse and its annex on this side of the district, which stand separately. To the south, the historic commercial structures are independent buildings interspersed among historic houses, non-historic buildings, and parking lots, in a more transitional area. In the southeast part of the district there are brick and wooden warehouses and a small brick jail, and the one contributing object: a boulder with a historic bronze marker memorializing a visit of President George Washington. Further south is a neighborhood of historic single-family homes.</p><br>
<p>The Albert Neal Durden House, also known as the Durden-Brinson-Brewer House, is located in Emanuel County, Georgia near Twin City, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places with three contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and three non-contributing buildings on 162 acre in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The house consists of a Plantation plain-style house built around 1870, plus a hall-parlor house from the 1850s, joined by an enclosed walkway. It was built to serve as a home for Albert Neal and Eliza Brinson Durden and, up to 1990 had been lived in by descendants. Along with outbuildings, it is on a 162 acre property which was the heart of a larger plantation. The older house was moved to its present location and the newer one was built in front of it.</p><br>
<p>It is located in a rural area on the old Swainsboro Road (County Road 360) about 3 mi west of Twin City.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago and West Michigan Railroad Charlevoix Station is a railroad depot located on Chicago Avenue in Charlevoix, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area around Charlevoix became a popular summer resort starting in the late 1870s with the establishment of Bay View in 1877, the Charlevoix Summer Resort (now the Belvedere Club) in 1878, and the Chicago Summer Resort (now the Chicago Club) in 1880. In response to the increase in traffic, in the early 1890s the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad extended its line from Traverse City north to Petoskey. In 1891 the railroad located two sites for planned depots in Charlevoix: this one on the north side of town near the Chicago Resort, and a second one (now demolished) on the south side of town near the Charlevoix Resort.</p><br>
<p>In 1892, the railroad contracted with the Grand Rapids firm of Pelton & Company to construct this depot. Work began in May and was completed by July, with the first trains running into Charlevoix in June. In 1900, the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad merged with two other railroads to create the Pere Marquette Railroad. The railroad promoted Charlevoix and other northern Michigan towns as summer destinations, and ran an increased number of trains into Charlevoix. In addition, an interurban two-car train ran between the north and south Charlevoix stations up to seven times daily.</p><br>
<p>The high level of service to Charlevoix continued through World War II. However, the increase in automobile use in the late 1940s and 1950s cut into railroad revenues. The Pere Marquette merged into the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1947, and service to Charlevoix was gradually scaled back. Passenger train service to Charlevoix was completely discontinued in 1962. Rail freight runs continued until 1982, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway abandoned all its lines in northern Michigan.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s, the Charlevoix Yacht Club occupied the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Chicago and West Michigan Railroad Charlevoix Station is a single-story rectangular, Shingle Style building with a hip roof. Covered platforms extend from the main mass at each end, giving the station a broad and low form. The exterior is clad with shingles below the window sill level and clapboards above. The building sits on a fieldstone foundation, with a poured concrete basement floor. A large bay window and a conical-roof round tower rise above the roofline on what was the track side. The street side has a low arched entrance with a massive gable above containing a balcony-fronted, tripartite, transomed window. A hip roof canopy supported by round columns covers the platforms at each end, and runs across part of the main building facade.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains outer and inner lobbies, a ticket/telegraph office, a waiting room, two lavatories, and a large freight and baggage room. The interior is entirely finished with hardwoods. The walls are covered with vertical beaded-board dados up to chair-rail height, horizontal boarding above that, up to picture-moulding height, and additional vertical boarding up to the ceilings. The ceiling is covered with boards, and the floor has original hardwood floorboards. The waiting room contains an original fireplace with mantelpiece. Columns similar to those supporting the platform canopies frame the opening between the main lobby and the waiting room.</p><br>
<p>The Josiah Davis House, south of Canoochee in Emanuel County, Georgia, is a Plantation Plain-style house built in 1869 on a 321 acre property. The property, with six contributing buildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>"The Josiah Davis House significance in architecture is achieved on several points. First it is a good example of the transition of architectural styles. The Plantation Plain style had its height in Georgia during the period from 1830 to 1850 yet this house is an example of the carryover or revival of the style into the Reconstruction Era of 1865-1870 when, according to traditional history, most everyone in the South was too destitute to build anything. The house exemplifies the same characteristics of the style from its antebellum heyday, two rooms up and two down, central hall, shed porch on the front and back (in this case only on the front), with a detached kitchen. Its interior has simple, wide boards on the floors, walls and ceilings with no plaster, yet it has elaborate mantels on the lower floor. It is bare of any Greek Revival or Victorian detailing save for the ornamentation of the front porch and the downstairs fireplace mantels. Secondly, it is significant because it has been little changed from its construction and thus provides a look at an original, virtually untampered example of a house of that era. Even the heating has been barely modernized. Thirdly as mentioned above, it is important in reflecting the building patterns of the Reconstruction Era, an era only slowly being understood by contemporary historians. It is one of only a few documented Reconstruction Era homes in the Plantation Plain Style, which might indicate either a resurgence of the earlier style after the supposed construction halt during the Civil War years or the continued use of the style even during the War. The house is significant in local history as the farm house or main house of Josiah Davis (1847-1902) a native of Emanuel County who with his wife Sarah Canady (1849-1927), a childhood neighbor, built this house shortly after their marriage around 1869 and operated a relatively small 318 acre farm that has retained virtually its same acreage since the house was built. Davis was a Civil War veteran who, once the war was over and he returned home, established his farm and never moved from the area again. He raised cotton and corn with the use of sharecroppers, who for the most part were hired freedmen and women, former slaves from nearby plantations. His house was small, being only one room deep, a total of four rooms, with a detached kit which would have fit their family of three children well. His obituary referred to him as a "frugal and energetic farmer" and mentioned no civic or fraternal activities. He was buried not far from his farm in the Old Canoochee Cemetery. After Josiah Davis 1 death, his son Dr. George Davis raised long staple cotton there until the advent of the boll weevil. The house remained in the Davis family until after the widow&#39;s death when it was sold to the Peacock family, the present owners. The Josiah Davis House is significant in agriculture because it retains intact the 318 acres Davis is known to have farmed in 1869. It was here where, after he returned from service for the Confederacy, he began his own farm and raised his own family. He would have been forced by the new economic times to have used sharecroppers, that is workers, primarily former slaves, who would be paid for their services out of the crops that were raised. The main staples here were cotton and corn, as in most nearby farms in Georgia. This farm is significant because it typifies the many that were established during the Reconstruction Era when large plantations were no longer feasible for a beginning farmer and a new social and economic order was emerging. Few of these types of farms have survived with their same acreage, main house, and surroundings free from intrusions."</p><br>
<p>The St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church and School Complex in Crofton in Knox County, Nebraska was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The parish of St. Rose of Lima in Crofton was founded in 1906. Its first building, a frame 88 x structure, was built in 1907 and dedicated January 29, 1908.</p><br>
<p>The current church building, built of tan buff brick, was built during 1952–53.</p><br>
<p>Architect William L. Steele, who died in 1949, may be associated with design of the 1953 building, because he is listed in the National Register database coverage for the property, but the registration document is not available online and there is no mention of him in the parishs own history, which credits architect Loftus instead for the 1953 building. General appearance of the 1953 church might be similar to Steeles works, however.</p><br>
<p>The First Methodist Episcopal Church in Stillmore, Georgia, also known as Stillmore United Methodist Church and as Stillmore Methodist Episcopal Church South, was built in 1907. A fire on December 15, 1915, destroyed all but the exterior walls of the church, and in 1916 it was rebuilt to the original plans with minor exception. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Charles Edward Choate in Romanesque Revival style. The 1907 church and parsonage cost $7,500; their reconstruction in 1916 cost $10,000. The church was deemed "an excellent example of the early work of Charles Edward Choate" and "an excellent example of the use of the Romanesque Revival style in Georgia."</p><br>
<p>The parsonage was sold by the church in 1994; it was moved to a new location but was later dismantled and its materials were incorporated into a new house.</p><br>
<p>The John Rountree Log House is a saddlebag log house near Twin City in Emanuel County, Georgia, which was built in c.1830. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed to be an outstanding example of a saddlebag log construction. Diamond notching of the logs was employed in the construction, which was rare, relative to half-dovetail notching, in Georgia.</p><br>
<p>It was built in c.1830</p><br>
<p>In 2017 it was named by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation as one of ten "Places in Peril". The press release stated that the house, owned by the City of Twin City, "suffers from lack of maintenance and awareness" and that "While the cabin is sound, rehabilitation is needed for it to be reopened to the public. The current city administration is dedicated to the rehabilitation and maintenance of this historic Georgia resource."</p><br>
<p>Beleden House is a historic house at 50 Bellevue Avenue in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1908–10, it is a prominent and rare example of a high-quality residence in the Beaux Arts style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Beleden House is located in Bristol&#39;s Federal Hill neighborhood, one of its most fashionable addresses in the early 20th century. It stands on the east side of Bellevue Avenue, between Session Street and Beleden Gardens Drive. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of orange brick and covered by a hip roof. It has a U-shaped plan, with a service wing extending north from the northern leg of the U. The front facade is dominated by a two-story half-round four-column Ionic portico. The building corners are finished in brick pilasters that echo those of the portico. The interior of the U is a palm court, whose eastern bound is an arched colonnade. The interior of the house is lavishly appointed with fine woodwork and multiple types and colors of imported marble, and includes a music room with organ.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1908-10 for William Sessions, a local merchant and banker. It was designed by Samuel J. Brown, an architect based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Beleden estate, originally extending to the east and south and now subdivided with residential development, was landscaped by Ernest W. Bowditch. The house, now standing on a reduced parcel of 1.7 acre, remains an architectural center of its neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Selden Brewer House is a historic house at Naubuc Avenue and Main Street in East Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1827, it is a good local example of late Federal/early Greek Revival architecture. It was built and owned for many years by a prominent local tobacco-growing family. Originally located on High Street, it was moved to its present location in the 1980s, and now houses offices of the local historical society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Selden Brewer House is located in a mixed commercial-residential area of southern East Hartford, and the southern corner of Main Street and Naubuc Avenue. It is a three-story brick structure with a low-pitch hip roof surrounded by a wooden paneled balustrade. The building is roughly cube-shaped in appearance, with its facade facing north toward Main Street. Only three bays wide, the bays are set closely together near the center of the facade. A single-story porch extends across the entire width of the facade. The third floor of the house functions as a raised attic, with narrow windows below the eave. The interior includes a mix of stylistic elements, ranging from the Federal to the Late Victorian.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1827–30, probably by Samuel Brewer, although the property was then listed as belonging to his sixteen-year-old son Selden. The Brewers were a prominent local landowner since the 1750s, and were engaged in the growing of tobacco, for which this portion of the Connecticut River valley was well suited. It is the oldest home associated with the family to survive. It was originally located on High Street, which at the time was lined with similar high-quality homes. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1979, the property was completely surrounded by modern development and access ramps to Connecticut Route 2. It was moved to its present location in the 1980s, and now houses offices of the local historical society.</p><br>
<p>Dunn Gardens in Seattle, Washington, is a privately owned 7.5 acre property composed of the remaining acreage of the estate of Arthur G. Dunn Sr., who bought the property in 1914 as a summer get-a-way for his family, and contracted the landscaping to the Olmsted Brothers. Upon his death, the property was inherited by his children. His son Edward B. Dunn provided for the care of his share of the estate in his will. A trust was created two years after his death to oversee the entire property. Dunn Gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1994, and is open for special public events and docent-led guided tours April through July, and from September through October.</p><br>
<h2>Dunn and Agen background</h2><br>
<p>In 1889, New York resident Arthur G. Dunn Sr. joined his boyhood friend Elton Ainsworth in the first Seattle fish cannery business that established a profitable customer base beyond the local region. John B. Agen was another New Yorker who relocated to Seattle and became wealthy through marketplace innovations that transformed the regional dairy industry. He made several real estate investments, including the Agen Warehouse, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Seattle.</p><br>
<h2>Development of the estate and gardens</h2><br>
<p>Agen purchased 20 acre of land, south of The Highlands and west of Bitter Lake in 1911, not only for its vast abundance of Douglas firs, but also because he envisioned its potential for garden areas. When Dunn bought 10 acre of Agen&#39;s property for $7,000 in 1914, he was living in the affluent neighborhood of First Hill, Seattle with his wife Jeannette and five children, Arthur Jr., Edward Bernard (known as Edward B.), Maurice, Gertrude and Dorothy.</p><br>
<p>Dunn planned to build a summer house for his family. The 7.5 acre that are today known as the Dunn Gardens are what remains of the original 10 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Olmsted Brothers were contracted by Dunn and Agen to landscape their adjoining properties. The Massachusetts-based landscape architectural firm founded by John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was well known in Seattle as the design architects of the city parks system. The Olmsted Brothers delegated the design project to employee James Frederick Dawson in 1915, while Carl Frelinghuysen Gould of the architectural firm of Bebb and Gould was contracted to design the Dunn and Agen residences. The landscaping was meant to complement the surrounding botanical features. Existing fir trees were kept, and Dunn requested that deciduous trees be added to the property. Numerous plan revisions for the Dunn house and landscaping were submitted between 1915 and 1916. The two firms worked conjointly to produce the most aesthetically pleasing habitation amid the botanical resources. Eastern side vegetation was left in its natural state. The ocean vista side was developed for a leisure lifestyle with tennis courts, a croquet lawn, vegetable gardens, a chicken house, gardener&#39;s cottage, automobile garage, and a flower garden.</p><br>
<h2>Oversight of the gardens</h2><br>
<p>Agen died in 1920, leaving the bulk of this estate to his widow Florence. In 1940, Dunn built a cottage on his property for his daughter Dorothy. He died in 1945, bequeathing the property to four of his five children.</p><br>
<p>Edward B. and his sister Dorothy Bayley became the primary caretakers of the property after their father&#39;s death. When Edward B. converted the garage into a house for himself, he also began making enhancements to the surrounding landscape. A lifelong gardening enthusiast, he developed a woodland garden connected through winding trails, and filled it with blooming flora native the Pacific Northwest, in particular rhododendron.</p><br>
<p>In 1994, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Seattle. Curators Glenn Withey and Charles Price became the curators in 1996. The gardens are accessible to the public April through July, and from September through October, either by docent-led guided tours or otherwise for numerous special public events hosted by the gardens. Among the past events have been the "Mallets in Wonderland: An Afternoon of Whimsical Croquet in the Gardens" with participants dressed as the White Rabbit, "King and Queen of Wonderland", and other characters from Alice&#39;s Adventures in Wonderland, lectures, musical events and tours of specific botanical features.</p><br>

<p>The Beach Chalet is a historic two-story Spanish Colonial Revival-style building, located at the far western end of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The building is owned by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department; and the tenants are the Beach Chalet Brewery and Restaurant, and the Park Chalet.</p><br>
<p>The building is listed as a San Francisco Designated Landmark since February 22, 1985; and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, since July 22, 1981.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by architect Willis Polk, and opened in 1925 as a city-run restaurant and included changing rooms for beach visitors. The Beach Chalet is located near the Dutch Windmill in Golden Gate Park. It replaced an older building called the Golden Gate Park Chalet, built in 1892, that had stood on the opposite side of the Great Highway.</p><br>
<h3>Derelict</h3><br>
<p>The building was taken over by the United States Army as a coastal defense headquarters during World War II. After the war, the city leased the Beach Chalet to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) for $50 a month. The VFW moved out after the city bumped the rent to $500 a month in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The location, remote from downtown San Francisco, drew complaints regarding "rotten performances and nauseating spectacles". A "smoker" party held there in 1952 featured gambling, strippers and lewd films; Salvatore (Tarbaby) Terrano of the Waxey Gordon narcotics ring was arrested following the event. After the VFW moved out, the derelict Beach Chalet was occupied by homeless people and cats and nearly was destroyed by fire before a padlocked fence was erected.</p><br>
<h3>Restaurant</h3><br>
<p>After several years of closure and following a renovation completed in 1996, the building now houses the Beach Chalet Brewery and Restaurant on the second floor, opened by Lara and Gar Truppelli and Timon Malloy. Its sister restaurant, the Park Chalet, is located to the back of the Beach Chalet with a dining room facing the park and outdoor dining on a terrace and lawn area.</p><br>
<h2>Art</h2><br>
<p>The Beach Chalet has three major works of art added in 1936 and 1937 as Works Progress Administration (WPA) projects</p><br>
<p>San Francisco Life, a major mural by Lucien Labaudt at the entrance hall</p><br>
<p>Sea Creatures, a series of carved magnolia wood panels for the staircase by Michael von Meyer</p><br>
<p>Mosaics designed by Labaudt and executed by Primo Caredio</p><br>
<h3>San Francisco Life mural</h3><br>
<p>Lucien Labaudt painted the elaborate San Francisco Life fresco mural in 1936 and 1937. It depicts real people and scenes from San Francisco in the 1930s, encompassing the beach, Golden Gate Park, Fisherman&#39;s Wharf, and the Marina District.</p><br>
<p>Many of the figures depicted are artists, patrons, and WPA administrators that Labaudt knew; unlike the more radical murals at Coit Tower, art history professor Anthony Lee wrote "The Beach Chalet only confirmed return to the fold. Its rigorous symmetry and compositional concision, its playful but unabashed kowtowing, its scenes of relaxed pleasure and unproblematic display of the citys entertainment spots, its purposeful omission of any Artists&#39; Union painters — all these run counter to the visual language of his Coit Tower mural." There are four quotations from local poets painted over each doorway.</p><br>
<p>In 1981, Restoration Associates pledged to restore the mural as part of a thirty-year lease on the property. The mural room is now the San Francisco Visitor&#39;s Center. The Beach Chalet murals appear in the Michael Apted film, Class Action (1991).</p><br>
<p>The Norfolk Carnegie Library in Norfolk, Nebraska is a Carnegie library which was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>It has Classical Revival details. It was designed by Norfolk architect J.C. Stitt and built by contractor L.H. Woerth.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story 60 x brick building with cream sandstone trimmings. It has a raised basement and a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>Norfolk was one of 68 communities in Nebraska that were awarded Carnegie library grant funds.</p><br>
<p>The Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Mills Historic District encompasses a company-built factory and residential area in the Thompsonville area of Enfield, Connecticut, United States. In addition to the former factory buildings of the Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Mills, it includes more than 150 housing units built by the company between about 1830 and 1920. It is roughly bounded on the north by Lafayette Street and Alden Avenue, the east by Hartford Avenue and Lincoln Street, the south by High Street, and the west by River Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bigelow-Hartford Carpet Mills were the largest employer in Enfield for many years, and one of the largest textile firms in the state. Founded in 1828 by Orrin Thompson on the banks of Freshwater Brook, the company became one of the nations largest manufacturers of carpeting, employing more than 13,000 workers in Thompsonville at its height in the 1920s. The companys growth through the 19th century prompted an ongoing need for nearby affordable housing for its workers. The result is several generations of stylistically different housing, built densely in the blocks surrounding the main factory complex.</p><br>
<p>None of the earliest housing, a row of simple single-story cottages documented in drawings, built by Orrin Thompson survives. Early buildings tended to house either two or four families on two floors. Later construction expanded on these models, resulting in three-story tenements and row houses with as many as twelve units. The 1845 Cottage Green area was an unusual deviation from the largely grid-based layout the company used for its housing, with a series of single-family Gothic cottages around a common yard. This area may have been developed as a means to attract highly skilled craftsmen from England. The tenement-style housing found in the district was mainly built in the late 19th century; the housing of the early 20th century returned to the models of two and four families, and featured vernacular versions of popular architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the mass of company housing, the district also includes the surviving early 20th-century factory buildings, which have for the most part been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>Sparks Hall, also known as Women&#39;s Dormitory on the campus of Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska, was built in 1914 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Lincoln, Nebraska, architect Alfred W. Woods. It is a two-story wood-frame building with red brick veneer, on a raised basement. It has a one-story covered porch.</p><br>
<p>It was the second building on the campus and served as the womens dormitory from 1914 to 1932 or 1933, when it was replaced in that role by Edna Work Hall. It was then renamed "Sparks Hall", named for Joseph Sparks, the first president of the college, and began serving as the mens dormitory.</p><br>
<p>Edna Work Hall, also known as Women&#39;s Hall, on the campus of Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska, was built in 1932 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Arthur D. Baker. It was expanded at the rear in 1960.</p><br>
<p>It was built to serve as a womens dormitory and replaced 1914-built Sparks Hall in that role. It was renamed for Edna E. Work (1881-1950) who served as Dean of Women from 1916 until 1947, and who helped plan and design this building, first named Womens Hall.</p><br>
<p>The W. A. Young and Sons Foundry and Machine Shop is a historic industrial facility at 116 Water Street in Rices Landing, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1900 and operating until 1965, it is one of the best-preserved examples of an early 20th-century small industrial machine shop in the nation. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Young Foundry and Machine Shop is located in the village of Rices Landing, on the south side of the Monongahela River in rural southwestern Pennsylvania. It is set on the south side of Water Street, which separates most of the property from the river. The shop is a complex of three interconnected wood-frame structures, which are basically utilitarian and vernacular in appearance, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The Front Shop, the largest building, houses the main machine shop on the ground floor and the Pattern Shop on the second floor. Attached to the rear of this building are two smaller ones, housing the Foundry and the "Back Shop". Tools and equipment are arranged by function, in order to maximize flexibility.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century, Rices Landing was a prosperous shipment point for the region. In 1900 William A. Young built the foundry and machine shop purchased that year. He established a small foundry and metal machine shop on the premises. The foundry operated until the 1930s, when Young closed it, unable to compete with larger and more efficient operations. The shop remained in operation until 1965, operated after Youngs death in 1940 by his two sons. The building and its entire suite of tools, patterns, and records, was acquired by the Greene County Historical Society in 1985. It sold the property in 2009 to the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, which has undertaken preservation of the site.</p><br>
<p>The Ponca Creek Bridge, also known as NEHBS No. BD00-224, is a historic Pratt truss bridge spanning Ponca Creek that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The "half-hip" pony truss bridge was built in 1904 as a single-span bridge having a 48 ft main span and, with timber stringer approach span having a 79 ft total length. Its roadway was 14.3 ft wide, with timber deck over timber stringers.</p><br>
<p>The steel bridge was fabricated by Lackawanna Steel Co. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was built by E. Roy Townsend of O&#39;Neill, Nebraska.</p><br>
<p>The original bridge may no longer be in place.</p><br>
<p>The Boyne City Central Historic District is a commercial historic district located along the 100 and 200 blocks of Water and Lake Streets and adjacent parts of Main Street and South Park in Boyne City, Michigan. The district also contains the residential structures in the local Pearl Street Historic District to the east of the downtown area. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Boyne City Central Historic District contains 75 buildings, as well and the grounds of Sunset Park at the west edge of the district. Of these, 55 of the buildings contribute to the historic nature of the district. The non-contributing structures are roughly equally divided between structures built after 1962, and those built previously, but which have been renovated in a way that significantly degrades the historic character.</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses all of the historic central business district in Boyne City, as well as the adjacent Pearl Street residential neighborhood, where many of the communitys industrial and commercial leaders lived around the turn of the century. The bulk of the buildings were constructed during Boyne Citys heyday in 1900-1910. Just 5% were constructed before 1900, and 7% in the 1920s and 1930s. The remainder of the contributing buildings in the district were constructed from World War II up through the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The commercial buildings are generally one or two stories in height, with the exception of the three-story IOOF Temple at 214 Water Street, and Wolverine Hotel at 300 East Water. Nearly all the buildings are brick, with a few of wood frame construction. The buildings are primarily of Late Victorian architectural style, but with minimal ornamentation. One significant building, the IOOF Temple, is a Renaissance Revival structure. The nearby Post Office is a Classical Revival building.</p><br>
<p>The residential structures along Pearl Street are all frame, with one exception made of glazed tile. Houses in the district have similar setback, scale, and massing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Boyne City was first developed in the 1870s. The settlement remained small until the channel connecting Lake Charlevoix to Lake Michigan was completed in the 1880s allowing easy flow of commerce and industrial products through the town. W.H. White arrived in Boyne City in 1883 and founded a mill. He added other industry in the years following, taking advantage of the timber lands in the area. Substantially due to White&#39;s efforts, Boyne City industry grew, and by the turn of the century it had transitioned into a full-fledged boom town. During the first decade of the 20th century, Boyne City grew from 900 residents to over 5000.</p><br>
<p>However, Boyne City was booming just as the timberlands in northern Michigan were declining. Mills and other industry in the city began closing in the late 1910s and early 1920s, leading to a drop in population to under 3000. Today, almost no trace of Boyne Citys early industrial past still exists. However, the Central Historic District contains many buildings that are directly associated with the citys economic heyday between 1910 and 1920.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 455 is a historic open spandrel concrete bridge, carrying Connecticut Route 159 across Stony Brook in southern Suffield, Connecticut. Completed in 1929, it is one of six surviving open spandrel concrete bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bridge No. 455 is located in southeastern Suffield, carrying Connecticut Route 159 across Stony Brook. Route 159 is the major north-south route through eastern Suffield, running roughly parallel to the Connecticut River. The bridge is set across a steep and rocky ravine. It is 259 ft long, with a main span measuring 132 ft, and nine concrete girder approach spans. The main span is an open spandrel structure of reinforced concrete, whose arch has a rise of 34 ft. The bridge deck is 55 ft above the typical water level of the stream below. The arch ribs are 4 ft thick at the base and 2.5 ft at the apex, and are joined to the bridge deck by a series of tapered square columns. The roadway is two lanes wide.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was completed in 1929 as part of a major initiative by the state Department of Transportation to improve the infrastructure of its main highways. At the time Route 159 was the principal north-south route between Hartford and Springfield, Massachusetts, and is still a major secondary road, having been supplanted by Interstate 91 for most traffic. The state used open spandrel structures over ravines and for exceptionally long spans, where significant cost savings were achieved by reducing materials costs. The state also declared a preference for the bridges for their aesthetics, and used them with some frequency. There are now only six such bridges left in the state.</p><br>
