<p>The Bristol Girls&#39; Club is a historic clubhouse facility at 47 Upson Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1931, it is believed to be the first purpose-built clubhouse for a branch of the Girls Club of America, a social and educational organization dedicated to improving conditions for urban and immigrant girls. The building, a fine example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture in brick, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It now serves as the location of Chapter 126, a sports and fitness center specifically serving disabled people.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bristol Girls&#39; Club building is located about four blocks south of Bristol center, on the south side of Upson Street just east of West Street. The building has two major portions, the older one a 2-1/2 story brick building in the Dutch Colonial Revival style. It is oriented perpendicular to the street, and fronts a much larger modern addition which houses primarily athletic facilities. The older structure is organized as a central block with flanking end blocks that only project slightly; each section is covered by a gambrel roof with dormers. The interior of the building houses offices, a kitchen and dining room, and smaller gymnasium spaces.</p><br>
<p>The Bristol Girls&#39; Club was founded in 1928, and originally met in a rented space. It offered a variety of after-school and evening activities, including domestic education such as cooking and sewing, athletics including dance, volleyball, horseshoes, and baseball, and other social activities. It was immediately popular, subscribing 351 girls in its first month. The community began a fund drive to build a permanent home for the club, which culminated in the construction of this building in 1931. It was designed by Charles Scranton Palmer of New Haven. The club was one of the founding members of the national Girls Clubs of America organization when it was organized in 1945 in Springfield, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The Gordon Avenue Historic District in Thomasville, Georgia is a 24 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

<p>The Broad Brook Company was a manufacturer of textiles in East Windsor, Connecticut, which operated from the 1830s until 1954. The company plant, located on Broad Brook at Main Street and Scott Road in the town&#39;s Broad Brook village, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Partially destroyed by fire, with surviving buildings converted into residential condominiums in the 1980s, the complex has been shuttered due to the discovery of toxic soil conditions on the property.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Broad Brook Company complex was once the industrial center piece of Broad Brook village in northeastern East Windsor. Set astride Broad Brook west of Main Street, the company complex consisted of eighteen buildings of stone and wood, built over a period of over a century. One of the most prominent of those buildings still stands: the main mill building, it is a handsome 4-1/2 story structure with Italianate style built in 1867 and enlarged in 1880. Its facade is divided into bays defined by recessed panels, with stone corbelling at the top of each panel, some of the window sills, and the roof eave. A five-story stair tower projects near its center, with a gabled roof and more brick corbelling. Each level of the tower has doorways for the movement of large equipment to that level. Other surviving elements include the mill dam, which is located just across Main Street to the east, and a former steam boiler building.</p><br>
<p>The Broad Brook site had an industrial history dating to the early 19th century, when a sawmill, gristmill, and tannery were located at or near this site. A textile mill was established by the Phelps brothers in the 1830s, but it eventually failed, and was reorganized in the late 1840s into the Broad Brook Company. This company was an economic success, employing 300 people at the turn of the 20th century, producing a variety of woolen fabrics. By the 1930s, the company was producing cloth fabrics for upholstery in automobiles, and suffered significantly when that industry shifted to vinyl finishes in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>In 1954 the plan was shuttered and sold to Hamilton Standard, a division of United Technologies. Chemical contamination was discovered in the property&#39;s soils in 1998, and the complex was shuttered in 2004. Although it has not been granted Superfund status, the US Environmental Protection Agency continues to monitor remediation efforts.</p><br>
<p>The Brown Tavern is a historic house and public accommodation at George Washington Turnpike and Connecticut Route 4 in Burlington, Connecticut, USA.

Above the entrance is a Palladian window with a rounded center that breaks the moulding at the roof eave. The front gable is fully pedimented, with dentil moulding around the edges and a Federal style semi-oval fan at the center.</p><br>
<p>The building is believed to have been built about 1809-10 for Giles Griswold, a merchant</p><br>
<p>The Cook-Johnson House is a historic house located at 3091 Franklin Avenue north of Salem, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>This two-story, brick Greek Revival style house was built in about 1850 by either Jonathan Cook or Henry W. Johnson. Both men were among the early Quaker settlers in this area. Johnson grew wealthy, in part, from his dealings with counterfeit money. Although the extent of his activities were not known until after his death, he was forced out of the local Quaker congregation because of it. Wallace Godfrey and Clark Osburn were also involved in the counterfeiting enterprise. In 1911, it was discovered that Osburn had killed Warner Davis who had learned of the illegal activity and was going to report it.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Collins-Bond House is a historic house located at 402 South Main Street in Salem, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Peter and Sarah Collins were New York natives who bought this property from William Lewelling in 1842. He built the two-story, Greek Revival style brick house the following year. Salem was a Quaker community and many of its residents were involved in the Underground Railroad. According to his son Mahlon, Peter was a conductor who helped runaway slaves on their escape to freedom. Eli and Mary Bond acquired the house in 1851 after the Collins relocated elsewhere in Iowa. Their son Titus was married to Peter and Sarahs daughter Amelia. The house remained in the Bond family into the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 2010.</p><br>

<p>The Edward L. Burnham Farm is a historic farmstead at 580 Burnham Street West in Manchester, Connecticut. Built in 1861, the house is a well preserved example of a vernacular Greek Revival farmhouse. It was built for a locally prominent family that had farmed the surrounding land for generations. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edward L. Burnham Farm house stands in the northwestern corner of Manchester, in a formerly rural-residential setting. The farm&#39;s 100 acre have been reduced by the construction of Interstate 291 and industrial development, and the farmstead now stands on about 1.5 acre. It is located on the south side of Burnham Road West, just west of its junction with Chapel Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is oriented facing east, presenting a side elevation to the street. The front facade is three bays wide, with the entrance placed slightly off-center. A single-story hip-roof porch extends across that facade, supported by square posts with simple molded capitals. A kitchen ell extends the building to the south. The interior retains modest 19th-century vernacular Greek Revival finishes. The property also includes rare surviving dairy and ice houses from the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead began with the purchase of 100 acres by Edward Burnham in 1860, by which time Hartford County was already one of the nation&#39;s leading producers of broadleaf tobacco. He began cultivating that crop, building this house for his family. The house is from a construction perspective of its period, using balloon framing, but is stylistically conservative in its Greek Revival elements. The farm was economically successful, with the Burnham family adding tobacco drying barns in 1903 and the late 1910s (now demolished).</p><br>
<p>The Burritt Hotel was a historic hotel at 67 West Main Street in New Britain, Connecticut, United States.

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Burritt Hotel building occupies a prominent corner location in downtown New Britain, at the northeast corner of West Main and Washington Streets. It is a six-story erection, built with a steel frame and exterior clad in brick with cast concrete trim. It is roughly U-shaped, the left leg angled to account for the non-square street corner. It has Colonial Georgian Revival styling, and its main facade faces West Main Street. That facade is nine bays wide, divided into three subgroups by the slight projection of the center five bays. The ground floor houses commercial storefronts, with the main entrance at the center. The second floor has seven three-part picture windows, and is topped by a stone stringcourse. There are balustrade-like decorations above the stringcourse and below the third-floor windows. On the third level, the windows of the outer bays are topped by half-round blind arch panels, and those on the inner bays splayed lintels with keystones. The upper floors of the inner five bays have pilasters flanking each of the outermost bays.

<p>It is a two-story reinforced concrete building with an H-shaped plan. It was designed by Francisco Gardón Vega, as indicated in construction documents, although Rafael Carmoega, then Chief Architect for the Division of Public Works of Puerto Rico&#39;s Department of the Interior Office, is the architect of record per a plaque in the building. It was built by contractor Gabino Balasquide.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ernest R. Burwell House is located on the east side of Bristol&#39;s fashionable Federal Hill residential area, at the northeast corner of Grove and Oakland Streets. Although it faces Grove Street, it is set well back, with a tree-dotted lawn and semi-circular drive in between. It is a two-story masonry structure, its exterior finished in stucco. It is covered by a low-pitch hip roof, at whose center is an elevated monitor section. The roof was originally encircled by a low balustrade, which has been removed; a similar balustrade still adorns the garage. The main facade is three bays wide, the central one sheltered by a massive two-story four-column temple portico, with Doric columns rising to an entablature and fully pedimented and dentillated gable. An open porch is set to the left, and a solarium enclosed in glass is to the right. The interior is lavishly finished, with parquet floors in the foyer, a grand curving staircase, and mahogany paneling and bookcases in the library.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1918 to a design by New Britain architect Walter Crabtree. Ernest Burwell, for whom it was built, was a native of New Hartford, who made a fortune in coal, ice, and trucking, and eventually became president of the Bristol Manufacturing Company, a textile maker. Crabtree&#39;s design is one of his more ambitious residential designs; although he also designed the now-demolished DeWitt Page Mansion which stood next door, his best-known works in the region are commercial designs.</p><br>
<p>The Briggs Carriage Company is a historic industrial complex at 14 and 20 Cedar Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Built before 1890, these two buildings are a surviving reminder of the city&#39;s late 19th century prominence as a major carriage manufacturing center. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The two surviving Briggs Carriage Company buildings stand north of downtown Amesbury, on the north side of Cedar Street west of Poplar Street and the Back River. They are two long rectangular buildings, built in brick in the commercial Italianate style typical of 19th-century textile mills. The left building is three stories in height, while that on the right is two stories. Window openings (some filled in) are typically topped by segmented arches, and the main eaves have brick corbelling.</p><br>
<p>The Briggs Carriage Company began in the 1850s as a maker of jump seat carriages at a facility on Clark and Elm Streets in the center of Amesbury. It acquired a textile mill on the south side of Cedar Street in 1870, and expanded over the next twenty years, eventually occupying four buildings, including these two. The company was one of Amesbury&#39;s largest and most successful makers of carriages, out of more than thirty that operated there at one time. In 1889 the company began manufacturing streetcars at 20 Cedar, a business that continued until 1903. The company also began manufacturing bodies for automobiles, at first out of wood and resembling carriages, and eventually out of aluminum. The company went out of business in 1929. The buildings have since seen a variety of commercial and industrial uses.</p><br>

<p>It is a vernacular brick building with brick laid in English bond. Its front central doorway is flanked by wooden pilasters and has a seven-light transom. Its front windows are 8 over 12 sash windows, with limestone lintels and sills.</p><br>
<p>Carswell Grove Baptist Church and Cemetery  is a historic Black church and cemetery which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The church, a replacement for an earlier church burned in 1919, was destroyed by arson in 2014.</p><br>
<p>A different historic church, the Big Buckhead Baptist Church, is located a few hundred yards southwest. Prior to the Civil War blacks had worshipped there in segregated pews; "the negroes, whether free or slave, were quiet spectators" because they were considered members of the church with the same status as converted heathens in foreign lands. Yet all received the same communion, and all were baptized in the same water without distinction. After the war and the emancipation of the slaves, there was an impetus by both white and colored congregants to develop separate congregations. White judge Porter W. Carswell gave blacks 2 acre nearby to build their own church; they named it in his honor. Over the next five decades, the church became the spiritual heart of the local black community.</p><br>
<p>The original church was the first of seven black churches burned in the Jenkins County, Georgia, riot of 1919. It was replaced in 1919 by a wood-frame clapboarded building with Gothic Revival windows and other details. Its front gable end was flanked by two square towers. Before its destruction in 2014, the building was boarded up and had deteriorated; the congregation meets in a more modest and modern adjacent building built in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was founded around 1870, when the original church building was built. It is located along the rear and sides of the church, and includes "modest" headstones.</p><br>
<p>Birdsville Plantation, in Birdsville, Jenkins County, Georgia near Millen, is a 50 acre property which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It then included 10 contributing buildings. It is a National Bicentennial Farm.</p><br>
<p>The plantation property includes a main house, a barn, a privy, a smoke house, an old kitchen, a well house, a log building, an apothecary, a store, and a house and office of Mr. Bird, as well as a pecan grove and historic oak trees. A cotton gin building is included in photographs of the property.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house survived Sherman&#39;s March to the Sea, with reason attributed to Sherman sparing the house due to the death of twins. A version of the story shared online is that Union troops "found freshly dug graves, and began to unearth them looking for hidden silver, valuables, etc. They stopped when they discovered they were actual graves. The lady of the house had recently given birth to twins who had not survived, these were the plundered graves. The plantation was spared complete destruction out of respect."</p><br>
<p>It dates from circa 1789 and is one of few colonial-era ones in the interior of Georgia. Its front appearance was created in modifications c. 1847, under Henry Philip Jones, son of the original owner.</p><br>
<p>The modifications added Greek Revival and Italianate elements in an unusual design. It is a two-story house with an unusual inset front portico, with four columns having Corinthian capitals. Its front facade, which would be flat otherwise, is relieved by two projecting Italianate window bays.</p><br>
<p>Birdsville&#39;s architecture is unusual among plantations in the area. Birdsville was located in Burke County until Jenkins County was carved out in 1905.</p><br>

<p>The McLoughlin Promenade is a scenic pathway located on Singer Hill Bluff, on the southeast bank of the Willamette River overlooking Oregon City in the USA state of Oregon.</p><br>
<p>It was constructed 1936–1939 on land once inhabited by the Molala and other indigenous peoples. Named after Oregon pioneer John McLoughlin who donated his personal real estate for the purpose of a city promenade, the design and implementation of it was part of a joint public works effort between Oregon and the United States government. The pathway courses 100 ft above Oregon City and features the Grand Staircase and the man-made Singer Creek Falls. Lighting was added by the local Kiwanis club in 1972, and the Lee Kelly Moontrap bas-relief addition at the bottom of the falls was sponsored by the Rotary Club in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>John McLoughlin</h2><br>
<p>Canadian citizen John McLoughlin was empowered in 1824 to act as Chief Factor of the Columbia District for the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company in the Oregon Country, a region that was jointly occupied by the British, Canadians and Americans. Recognized by the 1957 Oregon Legislative Assembly as "the father of Oregon", McLoughlin built Fort Vancouver and was instrumental in boosting both the lumber industry and the fur trading economy. The state of Oregon estimates that he established approximately 20 trading posts.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service, Singer Hill Bluff had been inhabited by various Native American tribes, predominately the Molala (or Molalla) people, several thousand years before the arrival of the settlers of European ancestry. McLoughlin platted the town of Oregon City on and below the bluff in 1842. After the United States and Great Britain signed the 1846 Oregon Treaty establishing the US-Canadian boundary at the 49th parallel, he resigned from the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company and retired to Oregon City.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and maintenance</h2><br>
<p>The linear 7.8 acre McLoughlin Promenade is composed of the natural features on Singer Hill Bluff, and the man-made structures created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) 1936–1939. Oregon&#39;s State Emergency Relief Agency (SERA) was purposed to provide assistance for the unemployed, and the WPA was a government jobs creation program during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, that included historic preservation, programs in the arts, and building or improving infrastructure such as parks. The promenade project was proposed by SERA as a joint venture between the two.</p><br>
<p>City Manager John L. Franzen, a civil engineer educated at Washington State University, oversaw the implementation of the WPA projects within the city. He was the designer of the promenade. The predominant feature of the promenade is a scenic 10 ft wide and 2,300 ft long pedestrian pathway paved with stone and concrete. Approximately 100 ft above Oregon City, it courses the 7.8 acre Singer Hill Bluff strip between Tumwater Drive on the south end, and the Oregon City Municipal Elevator on the north end. The side of the pathway that overlooks the city features 1,400 linear feet of basalt barrier walls and posts of varying heights.</p><br>
<p>The north end of the pathway adjoins the Grand Staircase, which was constructed along Singer Hill Trail, a route used by these indigenous peoples as they traveled to and from the Willamette River. One flight down, the staircase veers two opposing directions. The east leg turns towards an illuminated pedestrian underpass, after which that direction of the staircase rises two flights to the McLoughlin House historic site. On the west side of this juncture, Singer Creek is channeled through the staircase to the man-made Singer Creek Falls designed by Franzen. The water flows over 20 ft wide concrete slabs, down the bluff towards the river. The west leg of the staircase leads towards city sidewalks and the municipal elevator.</p><br>
<p>When a new elevator was installed and moved slightly in 1955, the Grand Staircase was reconfigured accordingly. Oregon City&#39;s Kiwanis club performed maintenance on the promenade in 1969 clearing overgrowth, and they installed lighting in 1972. It underwent restoration of stone and concrete between 2004 and 2010.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP and miscellaneous information</h2><br>
<p>The promenades designer J. L. Franzen served as Oregon Citys manager for two decades before being hired as Salem City Manager, a post he held until his retirement nine and a half years later.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the local Rotary Club celebrated its own 75th anniversary in Oregon City by commissioning Oregon sculptor Lee Kelly to create the Moontrap bas-relief at the base of Singer Creek Falls.</p><br>
<p>McLoughlin Promenade was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 2014.</p><br>

<p>The Battle Mountain Sanitarium was a division of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers  located in Hot Springs, South Dakota. Established by law in 1902 and opened in 1907, it was unique among the facilities of the NHDVS, a precursor of todays United States Department of Veterans Affairs , in that it was strictly a medical facility with no residential components beyond its treatment facilities. It was founded to treat former soldiers suffering from musculo-skeletal problems that were believed to be treatable by the regions mineral springs, and for conditions such as tuberculosis whose treatment was improved by the thin dry air. The facilities built for the sanitarium are in an architecturally distinctive Romanesque and Mission Revival style, and now form the centerpiece of the Black Hills Health Care facility, operated by the VA. Most of the complex site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011 for its architecture and history.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Battle Mountain Sanitarium campus is located on the northeast side of Hot Springs, on 68 acre (reduced from the original more than 100) set on a bluff overlooking the Fall River. The grounds, laid out in the early 20th century, were designed by landscape architect George Kessler of Kansas City, Missouri, and the original buildings were designed by Thomas Rogers Kimball of Omaha, Nebraska. Kimball&#39;s buildings are built out of locally quarried pink sandstone, and are a distinctive blend of the Mission Revival and the Richardsonian Romanesque, which were popular styles in Hot Springs at the time. The unique combination of materials, design and setting give the complex a striking appearance. The main building has a circular central structure with spoke-like wings radiating away.</p><br>
<p>The city of Hot Springs developed in the 1880s as a resort community, with visitors drawn to the restorative and curative properties of its mineral springs. Local citizens and political leaders lobbied the federal government for the placement of a branch of the NHDVS. Congress authorized its establishment in 1902, and one of the local spring operators agreed to supply the facility with water from its springs. Ground was broken on the site, and it opened for its first patients in 1907. From its inception, it served as a treatment facility for former soldiers whose conditions were thought to be treatable either by consuming or bathing in the waters of the hot springs. It was also considered a good place for the treatment of tuberculosis, although its facilities as designed were less than ideal for this purpose. In 1930 the facility was transitioned to the VA, and was gradually transformed into a more general-purpose medical facility. Some of its facilities, including some of its tuberculosis wards, were demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Olsen House is a historic house in Helena, Montana. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 22, 1991. It stands opposite St. Peter&#39;s Cathedral.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plot of land was purchased in 1874 by Amelia Dissa, and her husband Louis Derrick built a one and a half-story cottage facing Park Avenue. It was built with wood and designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>After he died in the late 1870s, she married Ingethen Olsen, an American pioneer who owned a ranch in Fergus County, Montana, but the house remained in her name. By 1884–1885, they built a two-story rectangular addition and a gable. After Olsen died in 1904, his wife replaced the wooden cottage frame with a two-story front built with bluestone; it was completed in 1908–1909. When she died in 1918, the house was inherited by her daughter Amelia M. Olsen, who lived there until 1946.</p><br>
<p>Four years later, in 1950, the house was purchased by John Conway Harrison, who was elected as a justice of the Montana Supreme Court in 1961. He lived in the house until 1988, and he sold it to Robert Haseman in 1989. The house was later used as offices.</p><br>
<p>The James Monroe Avent House in Hickory Valley, Tennessee was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame Queen Anne-style house on a brick foundation. It was deemed significant as a Queen Anne house and for its association with James Monroe Avent (1860-1936), the "Fox of Hickory Valley," a dog trainer who developed the National Bird Dog Championship during the years he lived in this house.</p><br>
<p>At the time of NRHP listing in 2001, the house was operated as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<p>Hatchie River Ferry, also known as Millers Ferry and as Statlers Ferry, on the Hatchie River near Bolivar, Tennessee, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The Western State Hospital Historic District is a 37 acre historic district in Bolivar, Tennessee which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It then included seven contributing buildings and four non-contributing ones. It has also been known as the Western State Hospital for the Insane at Bolivar, as the Western State Psychiatric Hospital, and presently operates as the Western Mental Health Institute, serving 24 counties in West Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>Its 1889 building was designed by architect Harry Peake McDonald and his brothers Kenneth and Donald. This firm had previously designed the Southwestern Lunatic Asylum in Marion, Virginia. The McDonalds based the design on the Kirkbride Plan. Its 1932 building known as the Psychopathic Hospital, later known as the Polk Building, was designed by architect Wyatt C. Hedrick of Memphis.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When officially opened on November 22, 1889, the institution accepted 156 patients from an overcrowded asylum in Nashville. By 1893, 319 patients were institutionalized there. By 1900, the hospital was overcrowded with 594 patients. This overcrowding caused monetary trouble for the hospital, compounded by the state procedure to pay for one patient per 1,000 population. This left the financial burden of many of the patients on the county, who consistently fell behind on payments.</p><br>
<p>Patient therapy was widely varied and saw a great deal of new techniques implemented in the 1920s and 1930s under superintendent Dr. Edwin W. Cocke. Treatments administered at Western State at this time included: fever therapy, prefrontal lobotomies, insulin shock therapy, and injections of Metrazol. This focus on medical experimentation meant that patient care was not paramount. Many patients had little-to-no privacy and were crowded into overpopulated dormitories. With the abundance of patients relative to the number of staff, patients would seldom receive more than ten minutes per week with a psychiatrist. For nearly 30 years in the mid-20th century, all of the children born to women institutionalized at Western State sent to child trafficker Georgia Tanns Tennessee Childrens Home Society. Many of the patients who died at the hospital were buried in various cemeteries dotted around the campus.</p><br>
<p>Cocke was the co-producer of the first diathermy to produce an artificial fever to aid in treating syphilis in the brain. During Cocke&#39;s tenure as superintendent, the hospital received acceptance from the AMA and the American College of Surgeons. It was during this time many new buildings were added, including a tuberculosis ward, a cottage, Winston Hall, the Polk Building, and the Doctors Apartment Building. Additionally, a new operating room was opened, a telephone system was installed, the kitchen was modernized, x-ray equipment was purchased, and a dentist and dietician were hired.</p><br>
<p>Due to segregationist policies in the area, a separate, two-story ward was built for African American patients, finishing construction in 1896. This ward was later expanded in 1913 to include a dormitory for African American staff members. It was further expanded upon in the 1920s and 1930s when separate buildings for administration, patient intake, and laundry were dedicated. In 1910, the original building&#39;s male wing was expanded to keep up with increased demand, and in 1927 a new dining wing and auditorium were built onto the rear. In 1932, the Polk Building was constructed with eight wards. In 1942, this building was expanded to add an additional eight wards for women and adolescents. In 1948, the original hospital building was demolished and replaced with a new three-story building named Luton Hall.</p><br>
<p>Until the 1980s, patients were allowed to roam the grounds freely, occasionally leading to an escape. The advent of modern psychotropic medications and outlawing of unpaid patient labor aided in combating the overcrowding at Western State. Today, Western State serves around 2,500 patients across 24 counties, although only 250-300 of them reside on campus. Many of the historic buildings remain vacant and in disrepair. With a staff of 650 and an annual budget of approximately $35 million, Western State is the largest employer in Hardeman County.</p><br>
<h2>Notable patients</h2><br>
<p>Alice Mitchell, convicted murderer from Memphis. Died at Western State in 1898, age 25.</p><br>
<p>The Bicksler Block is an historic building located in Salem, Iowa, United States. John Bicksler had this commercial building built in 1886. The two story, brick structure is a combination of the Romanesque Revival and the Italianate styles. Salem&#39;s central business district was plagued by fires from 1886 to 1933. This building was built after the first major fire to effect the town in 1886. The store front on the east side of the building housed a bank into the early 1900s and then the local post office was located here until 1967. The western half of the building has housed a variety of businesses over the years, including: clothing stores, two different milliners, a restaurant, and a pool hall. The second floor housed a variety of offices, including a dentist. The American Legion acquired the building from the Bicksler family in 1950. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Farmers Savings Bank is a historic building located in Salem, Iowa, United States. Built in 1916, it replaced a building destroyed by fire the year before. The following banks operated here: Farmers Savings Bank , Farmington State Bank , Des Moines Valley State Bank , State Central Savings Bank , Hillsboro Savings Bank , Hawkeye Bank and Trust . In 1992 Hawkeye Bank and Trust donated the building to the American Legion, who sold it to Anthony and Connie Kramer in 2000. They remodeled the single-story, brick, Neoclassical structure for their home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Farmers Savings Bank was one of ten banks in Iowa that was taken over by the state banking department on January 25, 1933, and reopened under a new state law. State Central Savings Bank was robbed in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Winter Street School is a historic school building at 165 Winter Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Built in 1856, it is one of the city&#39;s oldest surviving school buildings, and a good local example of Second Empire/Italianate architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The building has been converted into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Winter Street School is located on the north side of Winter Street, north of downtown Haverhill, at the northwest corner with Cottage Street. It is a three-story rectangular masonry structure, built out of red brick set on a granite stone foundation. The third floor is under a mansard roof, with heavy paired brackets under the eaves. The main facade faces Cottage Street, and is ten bays wide. Bays are broken up in pairs by brick pilasters, with window bays rectangular with stone sills and lintels. The main entrance occupies the center two bays, sheltered by a hood supported by angle brackets and featuring an entablature and projecting cornice. The side elevations each have a projecting stairwell at the center, with second-floor windows set in round-arch openings in recessed round-arch panels.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1856, in order to consolidate two smaller area schools and accommodate Haverhills growing population. It is one of two schools built by the city that year that is still standing; the other is the School Street School. Both are among the oldest of the citys surviving school buildings. This one was formally dedicated by George S. Boutwell, then the state&#39;s Secretary of the Board of Education. Originally two stories in height, the mansard roof was added about 1873, in response to continued growth and overcrowding. The school was closed in the 1970s and converted to a community center for people with disabilities. The city sold the building in 2014, after which it underwent conversion to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Rockwood Road Historic District encompasses a portion of the town center of Norfolk, Massachusetts that has retained significant 19th-century characteristics. It extends along Rockwood Road  from the MBTA Commuter Rail line to Boardman Street. This area consists mainly of residential or former residential buildings, as well as the 1863 Norfolk Grange Hall, a former church, and is reflective of the center&#39;s growth as a railroad village. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the town center of Norfolk was originally part of Dedham and then Wrentham before incorporating as a separate community in 1877. The center area developed as the center of North Parish of Wrentham, with the crossroads of Rockwood Road and Main Street (outside the historic district to the south) the site of the parish meetinghouse. Rockwood Road was apparently built through the lands of the locally prominent Ware family. The village gained in prominence with the completion of the railroad line in 1850, with commercial development taking place mostly south of the tracks, and farmland on the northside subdivided more for residential development.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Rockwood Road from Boardman Street southeasterly, ending just before the railroad tracks. Although the latter were important to the community&#39;s growth, and there is still a commuter rail stop there, it no longer has a historic station house. Most of the buildings in the district are residences built between about 1850 and 1900, although there are examples of older and newer buildings. The oldest buildings in the district are probably Mann House at 16 Rockwood Road (c. 1806), and the Darius Ware House at 29 Rockwood Road, which dates to about 1814. The only originally non-residential building in the district is the Norfolk Grange Hall, which was built as a Baptist church in 1863, and was the first church to be built away from the historic Town Hill area.</p><br>
