<p>The Hartford Golf Club Historic District encompasses a golf course and adjacent residential neighborhood in West Hartford and Hartford, Connecticut. The area, developed between 1915 and 1936, includes the Hartford Golf Club, designed by Donald Ross, the area&#39;s oldest golf course, and a neighborhood with a high concentration of high quality Colonial and Tudor Revival houses. It is roughly bounded by Simsbury Road on the north, Bloomfield Avenue on the east, Albany Avenue to the south, and Mohegan Drive to the west. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hartford Golf Club was founded in 1896, and immediately became a magnet for the social and business elite of Hartford. Its first golf course was built south of the present property, between Albany and Asylum Avenues. That course&#39;s thirteen-hole layout was problematic due to the terrain, and the club in 1914 purchased the southern portion of its present holdings. It hired Donald Ross to design the holes in this area, where fourteen holes were built. An eighteen-hole course was then made out of those plus four holes south of Albany Avenue. In 1945, the club purchased the northernmost portion of its land, which was developed with thirteen new holes, apparently also based on Donald Ross designs. The land south of Albany Avenue was sold in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The golf clubs 1914 purchased kicked off a residential construction boom to its southwest. Over the next twenty years, a neighborhood of high quality Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival houses were built on large well-landscaped lots, and it came to be one of West Hartfords most fashionable neighborhoods of the period. Roads were laid out in large rectangles, and properties adjacent to the golf were the largest and most lavish in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Eldridge House Hotel  is a historic building located on Massachusetts Street, in downtown Lawrence, Kansas. The building is named after Shalor Eldridge, a prominent anti-slavery individual who erected the building in the mid-1800s. The building, as its contemporary name suggests, is currently used as a hotel.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Eldridge House Hotel can trace its origin back to the New England Emigrant Aid Company, which was a transportation company in Boston, Massachusetts, created after the passing of the Kansas-Nebraska act to bring anti-slavery immigrants to the Kansas Territory. The company erected a temporary way station in Lawrence for these settlers, named the Free State Hotel. On May 21, 1856, Douglas County sheriff Samuel J. Jones and a large group of pro-slavery men arrived in Lawrence and burned down the Free State Hotel as part of the Sack of Lawrence. After this disaster, the anti-slavery individual Shalor Eldridge built a new hotel, which he named the Eldridge House, after himself. This structure stood until August 21, 1863, when Confederate irregular leader William Quantrill and his raiders burned the hotel, along with the city, to the ground.</p><br>
<p>Eldridge began to build another replacement hotel, which was finished in 1866 under George W. Deitzler. This structure was refurbished in 1925; the new version lasted until the mid-to-late 1960s, when it closed due to competition with motels. While the Eldridge Hotel building became an apartment complex on July 1, 1970, there was a strong desire in the city to see the Eldridge re-open as a hotel again in the 1980s. Soon, a group of investors raised $1 million, and the city of Lawrence also contributed $2 million in industrial revenue bonds to make this dream a reality. In the later part of that decade, the entire structure was retrofitted once again into a hotel. In 2004, the hotel was purchased by a new group of investors and completely renovated once again, restoring it "to its original 1925 grandeur." The hotel opened the following year.</p><br>
<h2>Haunted reputation</h2><br>
<p>A popular story has circulated that the ghost of Shalor Eldridge still haunts the hotel. Believers claim that, because the Eldridge Houses original cornerstone is located in the room 506, Eldridges spirit will manifest in that room. Others claim that the hotels elevator is haunted by a spirit. A photograph taken during the 1980s purportedly depicts the ghost in the buildings elevator. The Eldridge Hotel and the supposed ghost of its namesake were the partial subject of "The Demon Shadow" (2011), the first episode of the third season of the Biography Channel series My Ghost Story. The supposed haunting has also been the subject of several book chapters and book sections.</p><br>
<p>The Robertson Family Farm, in or near Whiteville, Tennessee, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It then included four contributing buildings and a contributing site.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as a rare surviving example of a farm operated by the same African-American family for over 100 years. It was started by Crawford Robertson who was born a slave in Arkansas; it was operated in 2007 by grandson Evelyn Robertson with help of a cousin and a lessee.</p><br>
<p>The United Sons and Daughters of Charity Lodge Hall in Bolivar, Tennessee was built in and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>It is an "unassuming" wood-frame building on brick piers, with a hipped roof. The building was primarily used for religious worship services and for other community purposes.</p><br>
<p>It is a surviving artifact of the United Sons and Daughters of Charity, a local self-help organization, formed in 1873 by a group of African-American men.</p><br>
<p>The John Hultquist House is a historic building located in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States. Hultquist was a native of Småland in Sweden who immigrated to this country in 1880. After working for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad he began farming and he was eventually able to buy 200 acres of land for his own farm north of town. In 1918 Hultquist employed C.K. Schantz to build this two story, frame, American Foursquare for him and his second wife Amanda after his retirement. It was fairly common for the early Swedish immigrants in Wayne Township to relocate to Swedesburg after they retired from farming so as to maintain their Swedish traditions. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The historic designation also includes a small barn to the east of the house. The front gable structure originally housed horses, a cow and chickens.</p><br>
<p>The George O. Berry House in Columbus, Georgia was built around 1896. Also known as the Charles M. Evert Law Office, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story frame construction Classical Revival house built on brick piers, with a one-story porch and a truncated hipped roof. It seems to have originally been the home of George O. Berry, a manufacturer of bricks. By 1900 it was home of shoe and boot merchant H. W. Garrett and his wife Emma.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register listing was within a batch of numerous Columbus properties determined to be eligible consistent with a 1980 study of historic resources in Columbus.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office building in Scappoose, Oregon, is the current post office serving the local community  and a recognized historic structure. Built in 1966, it is an essentially intact example of the "Thousand Series" facilities built under the direction of the Post Office Department in the late 1950s and the 1960s. These buildings, mostly of a modest, Modern style, represent one component of an evolutionary period in post office design between the PWA-led monumental buildings of the Great Depression and the 1971 reorganization of postal services. This period was marked by rapid growth, technological change, and decreased Congressional support for funding new construction.</p><br>
<p>The building was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas M. Babington House is a historic house located in Franklinton, Washington Parish, Louisiana built around 1900.

<p>The Charles E. Hult House, Summer Kitchen and Wood Shed are historic buildings located in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States.</p><br>
<p>Hult was a native of Jämshög in Sweden who emigrated to the United States in 1854. He initially settled in Illinois and fought in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He relocated to Iowa in 1866 and settled on this 80 acres farm, making the Hult&#39;s among the first Swedish settlers in Wayne Township. They settled here after the Lutheran Church across the road was founded, but before the village of Swedesburg was established. Hult built the original part of the house in 1867, and expanded it to two stories around 1882 and added the kitchen wing. Charles and Charlotta were known for their hospitality. New settlers waiting for their own houses to be built, clergy who came here for conferences, travelers in need of rescue from the poor roads after a storm, and visitors to the community from Sweden all found accommodation here. The house became known as the "Swedesburg Hotel." After Charles and Charlotta died, their son Albert and his family lived in the house followed by his daughter Inez.</p><br>
<p>The house is a common residential form known as Folk Victorian. The summer kitchen behind the house was used for canning and baking. It and the wood shed were built about 1890. The three buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Jones County High School, now known as the W.E. Knox Civic Center is a public high school in Gray, Georgia, United States. It was also formerly known as Gray High School, and was built in 1936 as a Public Works Administration project, to be a consolidated high school for white students. It was designed by architect Ellamae Ellis League.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It was deemed significant "as an excellent example of a H-plan school building representing the Colonial Revival style constructed with limited funds by the Public Works Administration, and for its architectural design by Ellamae Ellis League (1899-1991), a prominent and influential woman architect in Georgia."</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story wood frame brick veneer H-plan building with a center rear ell holding the school&#39;s auditorium. Its front has a central block and adjacent wings. The center has flat roof and parapet, a wide cornice, quoins, and 16-over-16 double-hung windows. Its main doorway is recessed in an arched entranceway.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s owner was the Jones County/Gray Chamber of Commerce, since 1992. Nearby buildings, not included in the National Register listing, and all owned by the Jones County Board of Education, were the Jones County Junior High School with lunchroom, the Jones County Gymnasium, a Business Building, and a Vocational Building. A c.1935 library was demolished before 1999.</p><br>
<p>As of 2007, it had been repurposed as the W.E. Knox Civic Center.</p><br>

<p>The Red Ball Garage, also known as the Ed Neil Garage, is a historic building located in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States. The building is located along what was known as the Military Road. Because of the marshy land in the area, wagons and buggies had to be pulled out of the mud. In 1913 the road became a part of the Red Ball Route, a highway that linked the Minneapolis/St. Paul area with St. Louis. It received its name from the highway signs used to mark the route. The highway was paved from 1929 to 1930, and later became USA Route 218 until it was moved to the east as a four lane-highway in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>This property has been the location of vehicle-oriented businesses since 1870 when a blacksmith shop opened here. It was followed by a blacksmith and wagon-making business. As automobiles started to replace wagons the blacksmith shop was replaced by a garage. This single-story, brick building was built in 1929, replacing the original wood garage. It was remodeled in 1944 to include a Studebaker dealership. The dealership was closed in 1966 when Ed Neil bought the business. It continued to house a garage and small motor repair shop until 1998. The Swedish Heritage Museum acquired the building that year, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin Chapel and Richwoods Cemetery, also known as Richwoods Methodist Protestant Church or simply Richwoods Church, is a historic church located south of the unincorporated community of Trenton in rural Henry County, Iowa, United States. This front gable, frame church building was built by a congregation of the Methodist Protestant Church in 1877. The congregation itself was formed sometime after 1843. The building has two entrances on the main facade, one for men and the other for women. The genders then sat separately on their respective sides of the church building. The interior still has the original pews with dividers. There is also a small tower, capped with a spire, above the facade. The Methodist Protestant Church continued to maintain the building until 1921 when they sold it to the Benjamin Chapel Association. The association was named for Benjamin B. Allender, who was instrumental in building the church. Regular church services and Sunday school classes were held until 1940, and occasionally until 1952. The cemetery behind the church was a burial ground for the Methodist congregation as well as other residents from the Richwoods area. It is still an active burial ground. The church and cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Herman and Allene Shaver House in Wayside, Georgia was built in 1936 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. It was designed by architect Ellamae Ellis League.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story U-shaped Rustic-style brick house with a two-story bedroom wing. Its largest room is the double-height living room whose ceiling is supported by hewn king-post trusses. Rustic aspects of the interior include exposed brick walls, hewn beams, cast-iron and wrought-iron fittings, and cypress paneling.</p><br>
<p>The building was modified in the 1990s by enclosure of the arcaded loggia and other changes.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for the 1936 house&#39;s Rustic architecture, unusual in Georgia, "in the tradition of Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and H. H. Richardson, who were inspired by the landscape and used natural forms and materials to replace expected architectural details."</p><br>
<p>Ellamae Ellis League also designed the property&#39;s one-story, two-room, brick guest cottage. The cottage, a historic pumphouse, and entrance gate posts are considered to be contributing resources in the NRHP listing. A two-car garage, a swimming pool, and a brick barbecue which were added in the 1990s remodelling were deemed non-contributing.</p><br>

<p>William P. Brazelton was an early leader in the city&#39;s development, owning the Brazelton Banking House and the Brazelton House Hotel. His house, built in 1858, is the earliest substantial residence built here, and it is a significant contribution to its domestic architecture. The main form for this two-story brick structure is the Italianate style, however it combines other styles into its design and ornamentation. Moorish elements are found in the front porch,</p><br>
<p>especially in the arches. Romanesque influence is found in the windows of the tower, the two-story turreted bay, and the single-story bay. Under the eaves are found smaller single brackets in between sets large double brackets.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 1983.</p><br>

<p>The main house is a c.1904 one-story Georgian Revival cottage, connected at the rear with a c.1897 two-story building, and there are several outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The house has wood siding and has a brick foundation. It has a porch across the full length of its front facade, and a porte-cochere. Outbuildings include a brick well house (c.1904), a brick garage (c.1904), a smokehouse (pre-1904), an outhouse (c.1904), a barn (pre-1926), a truck shed (pre-1934), a tractor shelter/feed storage (pre-1934), and a potting shed (post-1934).</p><br>
<p>The c.1897 building was probably built by Annie Belle and John Roberts. In 1904 the property was bought by Thomas Sheppard Bush, who added the cottage, but later lost the property. It was bought in 1934 by Cecil Thomas Roberts (1903-1985), who with his wife Ethel operated a dairy farm on this and other properties.</p><br>
<p>The Brazelton House Hotel is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. William P. Brazelton was an early leader in the city&#39;s development. He owned the Brazelton Banking House and he was one of the directors of the Brazelton House Company, which built the hotel. It is not clear, specifically, why the hotel bears his family name. The construction of the hotel in 1856 coincided with a building boom in Mount Pleasant with the extension of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad into town. It was built with the belief that Mount Pleasant would need a large first class hotel, but it had financial problems from the beginning and went through a series of owners until it no longer functioned as a hotel about 1970. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 2015 the upper floors were converted into apartments while the main floor continued to house retail businesses.</p><br>
<p>At four floors it is the tallest building in the central business district. It was originally an L-shaped building, but a 1911 renovation covered the courtyard and created a two-story lobby. The building exhibits elements of the Italianate style, notably found in the bracketed eaves.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office Watonga, in Watonga, Oklahoma, is a Colonial Revival-style building built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>

<p>Its lobby has a mural, "Roman Nose Canyon", by artist Edith Mahier.</p><br>
<p>The mural, installed in 1941, is oil on canvas which nicely fits in a wall space above the postmaster&#39;s door. In the mural the Cheyenne chief Henry Roman Nose stands holding a rifle, with his family to the right and three Cheyenne riding horses to the left. A family of settlers with a Conestoga wagon and three other white men exploring the area. The Native Americans and white settlers have both arrived at the location to water their horses and livestock. It depicts the canyon where Roman Nose lived during 1856–1917 in bright orange and red colors. The mural was locally controversial in its depiction of Native Americans, and it is likely the most well-known of post office murals in Oklahoma.</p><br>

<p>The Omena Historic District is a historic district located along M-22 from Tatch Road to North Omena Point Road in Omena, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Omena was founded in 1851 by the Rev. Peter Dougherty as a Presbyterian mission school serving the local Chippewa band. The school itself was located about a mile est of the present-day Omena. European settlers were slowly moving to the area, and when construction of the school was completed in 1853, Dougherty began planning for a church located in what is now Omena, for use by all people in the area. A graveyard was started in 1855, and in 1858 the church was built. Dougherty&#39;s house was built about the same time. Dougherty was assisted in his mission by Peter Greensky, a native leader and Methodist preacher. Greensky owned what is now the Cherry Basket farm for several years until 1859, when he left Omena.</p><br>
<p>The years during and after the Civil War were difficult for Peter Dougherty and his family, and funding for the school declined. Dougherty decided to leave Omena in 1871. In the meantime, the nearby harbor became more developed. As more European settlers arrived in the area in the 1880s, agriculture became the dominant industry around Omena, with products shipped through Omena and out of the harbor. In addition, the area became a tourist destination, with the earliest resort in Omena, the Shab-Wah-Sung Club, opening in 1868. Over the next several decades a growing number of summertime visitors came to Omena, with hotels and guest houses springing up to meet the demand.</p><br>
<p>Around the same time, commercial enterprises were established in Omena, with two general stores opening in the late 1880s. Three two-story frame houses were built near the stores. Rail service came to Omena in 1903. As automobiles appeared in the 20th century and M-22 became more busy, gasoline stations sprang up in Omena, with three by the mid-1930s. One of these gradually grew from a fruit stand to a gas station to a full-service garage with bar to a restaurant, and is now the home of Leelanau Cellars and Knot Just a Bar Restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

The district also includes the cemetery behind the church and two sets of historically significant dock pilings in the bay. The buildings date primarily between 1858 and 1935 and are typically one or two stories in height. The houses are typically Upright and Wing or Gablefront styles, and there are two False front commercial stores. Various buildings exhibit Greek Revival, Italianate, or Queen Anne details.</p><br>
<p>The Ephraim Ponder House in Thomasville, Georgia, also known as the Sholar House, was built c.1854-56 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Epraim Ponder, and served part of old Young&#39;s Female College in Thomasville in 1869 and latterly as home of the president of the old College. At the time of NRHP listing it was owned by John Sholar and wife.</p><br>
<p>Its south facade is Greek Revival in style and faces the former Female College property.</p><br>
<p>The Yamashiro Historic District is located on Sycamore Avenue in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, United States.</p><br>
<p>The villa that forms the district&#39;s centerpiece was constructed from 1911 to 1914 by artisans and craftsmen from Japan for the German-American Adolph Leopold Bernheimer (1866-1944) and Eugene Elija Bernheimer (1865-1924) to house their collection of Japanese art and valuable items. Mainly acquired in Japan and</p><br>
<p>China, their collection comprised ukiyo-e prints, silk paintings, Buddhist sculptures and wall paintings, wood carvings, jades, bronze sculptures, furniture, and “Oriental” goods.Geo V. O’Dodd, “The Castle on a</p><br>
<p>Hill (Yama Shiro),” The Architect and</p><br>
<p>Engineer (June 1923): 87-95. The establishment was called the Yamashiro Hollywood, but can also be known as the Bernheimer Villa and Oriental Gardens. As the villa was located on top of a hill, it was called a yamashiro, a Japanese word that in this case means "mountain castle" (山城). The district consists of the villa, several smaller buildings (of which a number no longer exist), and landscaped gardens. The area was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Today, the villa houses an Asian restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>While the Bernheimer brothers made a high investment to create the site to store their Japanese antiques, estimating to be around $2 million, most of the Bernheimers’ art collection was auctioned off in the beginning of the 1920s, toward the end of their lives. Unfortunately, its fame was short-lived due to the Great Depression and upcoming Second World War. Toward the end of the 1920s, the economy crashed and forced the brothers to open it up to the public, giving residents tours to make ends meet. As the United States retaliated with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the Pearl Harbor incident, Americans throughout the nation altered their opinion of the Japanese-cultured base in the rise of an Anti-Japanese campaign. At this time, many believed that the Yamashiro was a Japanese signal tower and vandalized the establishment as a result. To mask its remaining native design from future attacks, it disguised itself as a boys’ military school then an apartment complex at the end of the war.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, landlord Thomas O. Glover bought the property with the intention to renovate the palace to create a hotel and modernized apartments. However, by uncovering the elegantly carved wood and silk wallpaper, he reconsidered and aimed to restore the Yamashiro to its original state. From there, he and his son, Thomas Y. Glover, began the evolution of the Yamashiro Restaurant, utilizing the leftover rooms in the estate to occupy up to 500 guests. In addition to opening a Pagoda Bar and seasonal Farmers Market, the place strives to preserve the Japanese culture and history through its dishes along with the scenery of the Los Angeles skyline.</p><br>
<p>In 2024, the property went up for sale for $100 million.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>It was used as a filming location in a number of movies, such as Breezy (1973), Blind Date (1987), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), Kill Bill (2003), Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Nocturnal Animals (2016), Playing God (1997), The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956), Sayonara (1957), and The Vermilion Pencil (1922).</p><br>
<p>It has also made an appearance in many television shows in the 1950s and 1960s including: My Three Sons, I Spy (either the 1955 series or the 1965 series), Route 66, and Perry Mason.</p><br>
<p>Furthermore, it has been a setting for various Hollywood movie premieres like Rush Hour, Third Rock from the Sun, and Lethal Weapon 4, as well as for countless formal events, parties, commercials, and photoshoots.</p><br>

<p>The Nevada—California—Oregon Railway Co. Depot, commonly known as the N.C.O. Depot or The Whistle Stop, is a historic site in Alturas, California, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built 1908 to serve as the passenger station for Alturas on the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway. It has been home to the Alturas Garden Club since at least 1962.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1880, the Nevada and Oregon Railroad was founded; it was sold in 1884 and renamed the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway (N.C.O.). N.C.O. began regular rail service for Alturas on December 1, 1908. The N.C.O. depot was initially located at the intersection of Twelfth and Oak Streets, near the railyard, but was disassembled and moved, stone by stone, to its current location in 1915 to be closer to the central business district of Alturas.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company purchased the N.C.O., converting the line to standard gauge starting in 1927. Passenger service to Alturas was discontinued on January 1, 1938, and the depot was converted for use as railroad crew housing. The Alturas Garden Club acquired the depot in 1962.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The depot was constructed from stone blocks from a local quarry and is placed with its longest side parallel to the railroad tracks. The eastern facade, which overlooks the tracks, has a centrally-located operator&#39;s bay, with the former baggage room to the north and the former waiting room to the south. It is largely unmodified from its days as a passenger depot, and is built in the late Queen Anne style, with an appearance more in common with contemporary stations in the eastern United States than other stations in California.</p><br>
<p>The Tockwotton-Love Place Historic District in Thomasville, Georgia is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The district then included 80 contributing buildings with relatively few intrusions or non-historic buildings. It includes two residential neighborhoods bisected by Remington Avenue: Love Place to the north and Tockwotton to the south.</p><br>
<p>Among its historic properties are:</p><br>
<p>331 Remington St. is striking with a two-story portico having a second floor porch, intersected by a first-floor full-length porch (see #11 in accompanying photos).</p><br>
<p>"The Paxton", a historic house hotel, at 445 Remington Avenue, at the corner of South Hansell St.</p><br>
<p>The antebellum Augustine Hansell House, at 429 South Hansell Street, is separately listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Judge Henry William and Francesca Hopkins House in Thomasville, Georgia is located two blocks east of Broad Street, the main commercial street in Thomasville. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>It was home of Henry William Hopkins (1850-1945) and his wife Francesca (Fannie) Carara Seward (1852-1923).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1886 by master-builder Tudor Rommerdall, the Hopkins house is a picturesque two-story, wood-frame house designed in the Italian Villa style. The L-shaped main block features a tower in the re-entrant angle that originally included a cupola, or belvedere, which was removed by 1928.</p><br>
<p>The house is clad in weatherboard and covered with a low-pitched roof with corbeled chimneys. The double-leaf main entrance is sheltered by a wraparound porch.</p><br>
<p>The initial "H" for Hopkins is centered above the entrance among foliated carvings. The house also features a two-story octagonal tower and a one-story, triangular-shaped window bay. The house is rich in architectural detail and scroll-sawn details are located on the exterior.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior plan features a central hall with two large parlors on the southwest side and the dining room and rear stairwell to the northeast. The interior features an elaborate main stair and ornate mantels and moldings. The second floor features five bedrooms and a bathroom.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>Beginning in 1956, the house was divided into four apartments and many rooms were divided into smaller ones. In 2011, the Hopkins house was rehabilitated as office space, which resulted in the removal of many of the non-historic partition walls and the preservation of many historic features.</p><br>
<p>Several houses further out Remington Avenue are also listed on the National Register, in the Tockwotton-Love Place Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Capen-Clark Historic District encompasses a residential neighborhood area in the North End of Hartford, Connecticut. Centered on Capen Street between Main and Enfield Streets, it contains a cross-section of post-Civil War Victorian vernacular housing styles, and shows in its development patterns the ebb and flow of the city&#39;s economy between about 1865 and 1910. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the Civil War, the Capen Street area in northern Hartford was mostly open land, and Spring Grove Cemetery, founded in 1845, formed a natural barrier it and older development in the citys Clay-Arsenal area. The city experienced economic growth in the years immediately after the Civil War, which pushed residential development into this area. Between 1867 and 1873 Capen Street and three roads leading north from it were laid out, and a series of vernacular Italianate houses and Second Empire were built. The economy slumped in the late 1870s, and did not pick up again until the late 1880s. At that time a period of infill development began in this neighborhood, spurred by expansion of the citys streetcar network, resulting in the addition of Queen Anne Victorians. In 1898 two of the city&#39;s oldest examples of apartment blocks were built at 44 and 46 Capen Street.</p><br>
<p>The historic district&#39;s main focus is Capen Street, which runs east-west between Main and Enfield Streets, and is bordered on the south by Spring Grove Cemetery. It extends northward along four roads: Clark, Barbour, Martin, and Garden Streets, and includes properties on Main and Elmer Streets. Buildings range in height from 1-1/2 to three stories, and are generally of wood frame or brick construction. Many are single family residences, but there are two-family houses and triple deckers, and a few apartment blocks. Non-residential buildings include a former school complex, now a community center, and a church.</p><br>
<p>The Charter Oak Bank Building is a historic commercial building at 114-124 Asylum Street in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1861, it is the city&#39;s only surviving example of commercial Italianate architecture from the mid-19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charter Oak Bank Building is located on downtown Hartford, at the northeast corner of Trumbull and Asylum Streets. It is a four-story masonry structure, built with load-bearing walls of brownstone. It is covered by a flat roof with a deep modillioned and bracketed cornice, and has a rounded bay at the street corner. The ground floor has commercial storefronts, with mainly reproductions of Italianate styling details. Windows on the second floor are topped by bracketed caps with segmental arches, on the third by gabled caps, and on the fourth by flat caps.</p><br>
<p>The Charter Oak Bank was chartered in 1853, and originally had offices at Main and Pratt Street. It purchased this lot in 1860, then occupied by a Unitarian church. The church was demolished and this building was completed the following year. Its stone probably came from the Portland Brownstone Quarries in Portland, Connecticut. The bank occupied the building until 1915, although it sold it in 1865. It was merged into Phoenix National Bank in 1915. The building was acquired in 1915 by City Bank, founded in 1851. It failed in 1932 during the Great Depression; the building has seen a variety of owners since then, and underwent a major restoration in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Martha Poe Dogtrot House, also known as Mayhar Plantation Stage Stop, in Thomas County, Georgia near Metcalf, Georgia, was built c.1850-1876. It is a dog trot house which is believed to have served as a stage stop.</p><br>
<p>It was built with two hewn log pens covered by a single roof, with a breezeway space in between, but the breezeway was later enclosed.</p><br>
<p>The house with four acres of land was bought in 1876 by Martha Poe, an African-American woman, from William Vaughn for $24. She later purchased an additional acre for $5.</p><br>
<p>The property was absorbed, along with others, into Mayhaw Plantation, created in 1946 as a hunting and shooting preserve which had an area of 4,000 acre in 1998. Modifications in c.1946 added two brick chimneys to the two ends of the house, replaced flooring, and added a frame storage barn.</p><br>
<p>The Fletcherville Historic District is a 38 acre historic district which is roughly bounded by Siexas, Wright, S. College and W. Jackson St. in Thomasville, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The oldest houses in the district are along South College Street and Fletcher Street facing what was formerly a square at the center of Fletcherville. The square originally was the site of the Fletcher Institute and is now the location of Harper School, and with its open area it remains "a significant landscape feature of the district."</p><br>
<p>The district includes the Arthur P. Wright House at 415 Fletcher Avenue, in the next block up from the square, which is separately listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Predominant architecture is Bungalow/Craftsman, Greek Revival, and Victorian Eclectic. Most of the buildings in the district are modest one-story wood-frame houses. Examples of two-story houses are at 427 Fletcher, 126 College, 519 West Jackson, and 116 Siexas. Many houses have a front porch or portico with bracketed posts or Doric or Ionic columns. Some have dormer windows or Palladian windows.</p><br>
<p>The district also includes some non-contributing buildings including two modern church complexes, the Harper School, and several non-historic houses.</p><br>
<p>The East Side School in Thomasville, Georgia, United States was built in 1915 and was the first purpose-built public school building in Thomas County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story-with-basement T-shaped brick red building. Its brick is laid in common bond and it has buff-colored brick trim at windows, entrances, and corner quoins. Terra cotta is also used in detailing; the roof is red vitrified clay tile. Its NRHP nomination asserts that "The most outstanding feature of the interior is the flooring. All of the floors are of rift pine, i.e., quarter sawn, long leaf yellow pine of virgin growth, cut in the Thomasville area."</p><br>
<p>It was built to serve the first seven grades; other grades were covered by the high school, which was in an 1875 brick building which had served as South Georgia College of Agriculture and Mechanical Art.</p><br>
<p>It served as a school until 1976.</p><br>
<p>It was presumably for white students only when built; the date of desegregation, if that occurred before closure, is not noted.</p><br>
<p>The Millpond Plantation in Thomas County, Georgia near Thomasville was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The present main house was built between 1903 and 1905, and the complex was completed in 1910. Its architects were the noted Cleveland, Ohio, firm Hubbell & Benes and landscape design was by Warren Manning. The architecture is in the Mission/Spanish Revival style. The listing includes six contributing buildings and two contributing structures on 1,200 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Linn County Courthouse in Mound City, Kansas was built in 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Topeka architect George Ropes. It is a two-story-with-basement red brick building with a 110 x plan and height almost 65 ft. Its foundation is a native limestone wall, separated from brick above by a smooth cut stone belt course. A second belt course circles the building at level of the second story&#39;s window sills.</p><br>
<p>Walthall School, also known as Court Street School, is located at 601 Court Street in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It was utilized as a public school building from 1902 until 1987. The building is a contributing property to the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The building was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Walthall School was constructed as a two-story brick building with a 12-bay front facade that contained round-arch windows. The building has a hipped roof, with a Mission style effect achieved by a curvilinear gable. It has one-story flat-roof additions. Stucco was applied to the outer brick walls as a Works Progress Administration project (between 1935 and 1943).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the Hattiesburg School Board engaged the services of architect Robert E. Lee to design the Court Street school building.</p><br>
<p>The school was named for Edward Cary Walthall, a general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War and a United States senator from Mississippi (1885–1894).</p><br>
<p>In 1928, the building was expanded and remodeled to reflect a Mission Revival architectural style, under the direction of architect Noah Webster Overstreet. The school was again enlarged by additions made in 1941, by architects Landry & Matthes, and in 1957, by Associated School Architects.</p><br>
<p>Use of the structure as a public school ended in 1987. The Association then created the Walthall Foundation to own and operate the building.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, the Walthall Foundation sold the building to a development company for establishment of condominiums within the structure, while retaining the building&#39;s Mississippi Landmark status, as well as its status on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Charter Oak Place is a street on the south side of downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Laid out in the 1860s, its residential character is in marked contrast to the commercial development that predominates around it. The street&#39;s buildings, constructed between the early 1860s and 1900, are a cross-section of Victorian architectural styles. The entire length of the street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Charter Oak Place is located on the southern fringe of Hartford&#39;s downtown area. Its northern end is on Charter Oak Avenue between Main Street and Popieluszko Court, and its southern end is on Wyllys Street. It may be seen to continue as S. Prospect Street to the north and Groton Street to the south. It is a relatively narrow road, but is lined by trees and represents a quiet urban residential enclave in an otherwise more densely built area. The buildings which line the street are all residential, containing either one or two housing units. The majority of buildings are brick and 2-1/2 or 3 stories in height. Stylistically they are diverse, including examples of Italianate, Second Empire, Romanesque, and Queen Anne Victorian styles. Three of the houses at the southern end are wood frame structures. Some of the properties have a carriage house in the rear.</p><br>
<p>The area that became Charter Oak Place was a country estate in the mid-19th century. Charter Oak Place was informally laid out about 1857, and development proceeded from the 1860s until about 1900. The urban density of the relatively high quality construction and upper class focus is somewhat unusual for Hartford, because most of the city&#39;s upper class were during the late 19th century moving to more suburban settings, in neighborhoods such as Clay-Arsenal north of the downtown. Charter Oak Place was populated by merchants, judges, and skilled craftsmen. One notable resident of the street was Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor of the Gatling gun.</p><br>
<p>Hewitt Public School is a former school building in Hewitt, Minnesota, United States, active 1911 to 1979. It was Hewitts only educational institution up to 1952, hosting first grade through high school at its peak. It was also a key venue for community events, public health services, and extracurricular agricultural instruction. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 for having local significance in the theme of education. It was nominated for its central role in educating and socializing not only Hewitts children but its adult population as well.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1981 the Hewitt Historical Society has developed the former school into the Hewitt Museum & Library. It interprets the history and culture of Hewitt and the surrounding Stowe Prairie Township.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Hewitt Public School is a cruciform building rising two and a half stories. Its dominant visual feature is a cross-gambrel roof, which rises to 42 ft on the shorter ridgeline and 36 ft on the longer. The walls are poured concrete covered with stucco, on a foundation of granite ashlars.</p><br>
<p>The main façade is symmetrical and complexly fenestrated. Narrow arched windows flank the main entrance and a Palladian window is centered on the attic level. The rectangular windows feature elaborate hood moulds while the arched and round windows feature elongated keystone moulds. The central section projecting toward the street has corner pilasters topped by elaborate cornices.</p><br>
<p>The front entrance leads into a 12 ft foyer, which has a staircase on either side leading up to the second floor. There are three classrooms on the first floor. The second floor consists of two classrooms on the left, an auditorium in the middle, and three small rooms on the right that served as a superintendent&#39;s office, library, and supply room. The basement level contained classrooms for art and chemistry, the cafeteria, restrooms, and a boiler room.</p><br>
<p>A one-story addition is attached to the southeast corner of the school. It contains a gymnasium, a kitchen, a meeting room, and restrooms. The gymnasium was built in 1952 and the rest added in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Background and construction</h2><br>
<p>The town of Hewitt was platted in 1891 and opened its first school the following year. By the end of the first decade of the 20th century the original building was getting cramped, due more to state initiatives that improved attendance by farm children than any major population growth. At this time state and national education officials were also pushing for consolidation of schools, doing away with the one-room schoolhouses that peppered the countryside. In 1911 a new state law offered grants for construction and operation of larger schools centrally located in towns. Officials from Hewitt&#39;s school district convinced the surrounding rural districts to consolidate with them.</p><br>
<p>The school board hired architect C. Howard Parsons of Minneapolis, who had designed schools in nearby Long Prairie, Wadena, Sauk Centre, and Little Falls. Parsons and the local building committee decided to construct the new school entirely out of concrete. This was a fairly novel building material at the time, garnering widespread praise as durable, fireproof, and modern. Construction began in May 1911 with local laborers under the supervision of Minneapolis-based contractor Medson Brothers. They used a pulley and a horse to raise buckets of cement to cast the two-story walls.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<h3>Education</h3><br>
<p>The consolidated Hewitt Public School opened in the fall of 1911, originally housing grades one through eight plus one year of high school. Upgrades to the heating, plumbing, ventilation, and electrical systems in the 1920s allowed the district to offer two more years of high school. Government funds for these improvements also mandated better library facilities, lighting, science equipment, administration, and record keeping. With these reforms in place, intended to increase student performance on state exams, Hewitt Public School was promoted to a full four-year high school in 1931.</p><br>
<h3>Public health</h3><br>
<p>Hewitt Public School served as the base of operations in Hewitt and the surrounding Stowe Prairie Township for public health efforts, a growing national focus after World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic. A public health nurse sponsored by the Red Cross worked out of the school beginning in 1920, providing childhood health screenings, vaccinations, and classes for local women on nutrition, cooking, and first aid. In this period the sick were usually cared for at home by family members rather than being hospitalized, so the nurse also provided education to caregivers and housecalls to local tuberculosis patients.</p><br>
<h3>Agricultural instruction</h3><br>
<p>The Smith–Lever Act of 1914 provided government funding for agricultural and home economics instruction, and once again Hewitt Public School was the main local venue for these programs. Offered by the state&#39;s cooperative extension service, they helped introduce agricultural communities to the latest and most effective methods of raising crops and livestock. One popular program was the school garden, which students helped plan, plant, tend, harvest, and preserve (the canned produce then being used in school lunches throughout the year).</p><br>
<p>During World War II, agricultural extension services were a key tool for the national and state government to try to boost farm production and address wartime shortages. These programs helped recruit additional farm labor, collect scrap metal, share fertilizer and machinery, and encourage children to buy war savings stamps. They held classes on cooking with local produce and substituting for unavailable foods. Meanwhile, the school&#39;s faculty took charge of local sugar rationing.</p><br>
<h3>Community venue</h3><br>
<p>Like all public schools at the time, the Hewitt building was also intended to serve as a community center. The auditorium hosted plays, concerts, and lectures. Community groups, many led by the school&#39;s own teachers, met in the classrooms after hours. Demand for space was high enough that the school board instituted a rental fee in 1922, though organizations open to the public (such as the Boy Scouts) were exempted.</p><br>
<h2>Closure and reuse</h2><br>
<p>The building and its grounds were sold to the city of Hewitt for one dollar. The Hewitt Lions Club was granted a 99-year lease on the gymnasium for use as a community center, adding a meeting room and kitchen to that wing in 1980. The following year the Hewitt Historical Society organized and began using the main section as a museum. Outside, half of the former schoolyard has been developed as a public park.</p><br>
<p>In 2010 the building&#39;s roof and windows were restored with a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society funded by the 2008 Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment. With books donated by the school library of Eagle Bend, the historical society opened a lending library in one of the former classrooms in 2011. The society aims to offer internet access as well to help make up for the lack of a public library in Hewitt.</p><br>
<h2>Hewitt Public School Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Hewitt Public School Museum exists to preserve and promote the history of the City of Hewitt and Stowe Prairie Township and operates as a component of the Hewitt Historical Society. The museum also maintains a lending library within the building.</p><br>

<p>The Former Mount Pleasant Public Library is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. The library here was established in 1875. The community applied to Andrew Carnegie for a grant to build a new building, which was accepted on January 13, 1903. They were initially granted $10,000 and then were given a further $2,500. The Chicago architectural firm Patton & Miller designed the Romanesque Revival structure. They adapted Henry Hobson Richardson&#39;s Thomas Crane Public Library  for this building. Unlike the Crane Library, this building is primarily brick with rough stone used for a short tower on the main facade and for the trim. It also features an asymmetrical grouping of intersecting gables. The building opened on Wednesday, February 22, 1905. An addition was built onto the rear of the building in 1926. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Dougher, Rich & Woodburn. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The library has subsequently moved to another facility and this building now houses a branch of Southeastern Community College.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth Ward School, also known as the Monsarrat School, is a 19th-century, three-story brick building located on 5th and York streets in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. Over the years the building has served as a school, a hospital, a dormitory, a library, and a museum, and is currently occupied by apartments. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Fifth Ward School was completed in 1854. It burned down the next year, and the architect Isaiah Rogers was contracted to rebuild the school. The result, the current building in modified Renaissance Revival style, was completed in 1857. The school later came to be known as the Monsarrat School, after its first principal, Laura Lucas Monsarrat.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth Ward School would serve three hundred children annually. During the Civil War it served as a hospital. During World War II, the building became a dormitory for soldiers.</p><br>
<p>From 1937 to 1951, the Monsarrat School was used to operate the Free Public Library and Museum, on loan from the Board of Education. This was due to the flood of 1937 that damaged the Louisville Free Public Library building. The museum was located on the first floor. Visitors had to pack into the small museum location until a new one could be afforded.</p><br>
<p>On May 20, 1940, the library on York Street reopened; however, the museum continued on at the Monsarrat for another 37 years. In 1977, the museum was relocated to downtown, where it is now known as the Kentucky Science Center.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the Monsarrat building was transformed into upscale apartments.</p><br>
<p>Mount Pleasant City Hall is the official seat of government of the city of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. This 1½-story stone structure was designed by Burlington, Iowa architect William Weibley, and constructed by local builder K.A. Bergdahl. It is an eclectic combination of Colonial Revival styles. For the most part it reflects Georgian Revival aesthetics with its symmetrical facade and the pilasters that flank the main entrance. The stepped ends of the gable roof and the projecting gable above the main entrance reflect the Dutch Revival influence. The random ashlar stone used in its construction was salvaged from the Seeley Memorial YMCA-high school that was destroyed in a 1932 fire. The city halls construction in 1936 was a Works Progress Administration project. The east wing, which has been altered from its original appearance, originally housed the citys police and fire departments before they moved to their own buildings. City hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Village is a social service agency providing community services and resources for at-risk families and children in Hartford, Connecticut. With an organizational history dating to the early 19th century, it is one of the oldest such institutions in the state. Its architecturally distinguished campus, located 1680 Albany Avenue, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Services</h2><br>
<p>The Village provides a broad array of services intended to support the needs of children and families. Services offered include financial and social services for at-risk families, more intensive services including outpatient and inpatient residential treatments for children with emotional and mental health issues, and adoption placement services.</p><br>
<h2>Campus</h2><br>
<p>The Village&#39;s primary facilities are located in northwestern Hartford, at the junction of Albany Avenue (United States Route 44) and Bloomfield Avenue (Connecticut Route 189). Resembling an English country village, it was designed by New York architect Grosvenor Atterbury and built in the 1920s. The "cottage plan" of its layout, with multiple smaller buildings, was then a popular form for the institutional treatment of needy individuals. Although there is a similarity of design to the buildings in the complex, each one has unique and distinguishing characteristics, in a bid to give each one a more homelike feeling for its residents.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Villages origins are in a number of early social services organizations whose foundings were in the early 19th century. The Female Beneficent Society was founded in 1809 for the benefit of indigent girls, and the Hartford Orphan Asylum was established in 1833. These organizations merged in 1865, retaining the name "Hartford Orphan Asylum". It built a dormitory-style facility on Putnam Avenue in 1879. With the rise in popularity of the "cottage plan" for institutional housing, the organization had its current campus built in the 1920s on land donated by Reverend Francis Goodwin. Through the 20th century, the organizations mission broadened beyond the care of orphaned children to include family services, seeking to address issues caused by poverty and family breakdown.</p><br>
