<p>Edward Lloyd Thomas (surveyor) had some involvement with the district.</p><br>
<p>The North Harris Street Historic District is a 60 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It is roughly bounded by First Ave., Washington Ave., E. McCarty St., N. Harris St., Malone St., and Warthen St. in Sandersville, Georgia.</p><br>
<p>It includes works designed by architect Charles E. Choate and by his niece Ellamae Ellis League. It includes Greek Revival, Queen Anne and Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals architecture. In 1989 it included 88 contributing buildings as well as 11 non-contributing buildings and a non-contributing site.</p><br>
<p>Architect Ellamae Ellis League designed one or more contributing buildings in the district which were built in the late 1930s. She designed the Leonard House (1939), at 213 N. Harris, a one-story brick Colonial Revival style house featuring "paired end chimneys, a parapet roof and an accentuated front door entry." The doorway has a "decorative crown" and "slender columns set in-antis."</p><br>
<p>First National Bank is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. The bank was first located on this corner in the 1860s. Its first building was a small, brick Italianate structure. This building replaced it in 1923. It is a two-story stone structure designed by Chicago architect Paul V. Hyland in the Neoclassical style. It is unique in Mount Pleasant in that it is the only stone building facing the square, and it reflects more of a public building instead of a commercial building. It is similar in style to the Henry County Courthouse, which is diagonally across the square. The exterior of the primary and secondary facades is composed of ashlar limestone and features paired pilasters on the corners of the primary facade, and a single column in the Corinthian order that flank the main entrance. It is capped with a simple classical cornice and parapet roof. The alley side of the building is composed of red brick. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Henry County Savings Bank is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Because this two story, brick Italianate structure was built specifically as a bank, it features a chamfered corner, which was commonly used to designate a bank in the last quarter of the 19th century. Other features typical of an Italianate commercial building include segmental arched windows, a corbeled brick frieze, and a bracketed metal cornice. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>National State Bank is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Because this two story, brick Italianate structure was built specifically as a bank, it features a chamfered corner, which was commonly used to designate a bank in the last quarter of the 19th century. However, it combines other features typical of an Italianate commercial building in an unusual way. The secondary facade has segmental arched windows that are regularly spaced, while the primary facade has the windows in a sophisticated arrangement that one would expect of an architect-designed building.  The metal cornice has widely spaced brackets on the primary facade and more typically spaced on the secondary facade. It also lacks an identification pediment on the corner, which is typical of the style. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Ingleside Historic District is a planned neighborhood and a historic district in Macon, Georgia, United States, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>About 549 acre in area, in 2016 it included 641 contributing buildings, four contributing structures, and two contributing sites, as well as 115 non-contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>Architects W. Elliott Dunwody, Jackson Holliday, Ellamae Ellis League, Harry A. MacEwen, William F. Oliphant, Neel Reid, and Bernard A. Webb each designed one or more works in the district. The neighborhood itself was designed by civil engineers E.L. Gostin and S.R. Shi and landscape architect J.L. Hoffman.</p><br>
<p>Ellamae Ellis League designed a 1948 addition to the Tudor Revival 1932 Alexander School No. IV, at 3769 Ridge Avenue. The addition is contemporary in style and has long banks of windows consistent with the International Style. She also designed 3359 Osborne Place (1955-1956), 3395 Osborne Place (1940 & 1955), 3396 Osborne Place (1950s), 3180 Ingleside Avenue (1964-1965), and other works on Ridge Avenue, Riverdale Drive, and Vista Circle.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Street Historic District in Brownsville, Tennessee is a 1.4 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>It is an area which emerged in the early 1900s as the center for the city’s African-American community. While African Americans could shop in the white-owned businesses on the court square, they were often discriminated against. With the rise of the city’s African-American middle class, several businesses evolved along Jefferson Street. The majority of these buildings are One-Part and Two-Part Commercial Block buildings with modest detailing.</p><br>
<p>The listing included 13 contributing buildings and one contributing site (a community park), as well as three non-contributing buildings and a non-contributing site (site of a demolished building).</p><br>
<p>The contributing resources are:</p><br>
<p>C.P. Boyd Park (c.1948), South Jackson Ave. Was a "Negro tent" from 1887 to 1896, a frame residence from 1896 to 1944, and a park from 1948 to the present, with a wooden gazebo and park benches.</p><br>

<p>The Weston Bluff Skirmish Site, on a bluff over the Ohio River just north of Weston, Kentucky, was site of an American Civil War skirmish on June 21, 1864. A 10 acre area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Confederate soldiers shot at boats at Weston; Union soldiers shot back. While minor, the skirmish was the largest military action in Crittenden County, Kentucky during the war.</p><br>
<p>It was among several sites listed on the National Register as part of a 1998 study.</p><br>
<p>The Hagerty House, also called the Hagerty-Harris House, is a two-story house located on 505 East Rusk Street in Marshall, Texas. Built in 1889 by Thomas Higgins, it was the first solid brick residence in Marshall. It was built for William Phillip Hagerty, personal engineer of Texas and Pacific Railroad president George J. Gould by railway craftsmen. Born in 1848 in Ireland during the Great Famine, Hagerty was likely to be arrested by the British government due to his nationalist activities when he emigrated in 1866 to the United States.</p><br>
<p>Members of the Hagerty family owned the house until 1967. Five years later, it was sold to the Harris family. Dr. James H. Harris and his son Dr. Rush C. Harris restored the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was made a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and a historic marker was installed in 1977. It was also listed as a National Register of Historic Places the following year.</p><br>
<p>The Hochwald House is a Victorian -story house on 211 West Grand Avenue in Marshall, Texas. Built 1894 to 1895, the house was named after Isaac Hochwald , a prominent Jewish merchant. In 1912, the house was renovated to include classical revival features. Hochwald, who built the house with his wife Amelia Raphel Hochwald, lived in the house until 1956.</p><br>
<p>The house was made a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1978 and a historic marker was installed the following year.</p><br>
<p>Forest Glade Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Set on 22 acre on Maple Street, it is a good example of the popular mid-19th century rural cemetery movement. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Forest Glade Cemetery is located southwest of downtown Somersworth, on the west side of Maple Street between Tates Brook Road and Bartlett Avenue. While the road frontage of the property is roughly straight, the rear line of the developed portion of the cemetery follows a broad curve. The rolling landscape has circulation roads laid out harmoniously with the terrain, which is dotted with mature plantings. The cemetery&#39;s prominent architectural features are the Furber Chapel, a stone English country chapel designed by Henry Vaughan and built in 1898, and the entrance gate, a stone arch bearing the inscription "Until the day dawns and the shadows flee away."</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was established in 1851, not long after Somersworth separated from Rollinsford, and was its first municipal cemetery. It has more than 7,000 burials, the oldest dating to 1852. In addition to more than 800 family plots, the cemetery has a dedicated section for members of the American Legion and the Grand Army of the Republic, as well as sections specifically consecrated for Jewish burials, and an area for the burial of the indigent.</p><br>
<p>The Collins and Townley Streets District is a historic district encompassing a cluster of mid-to-late 19th-century residences in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut. It includes properties on Collins, Atwood, Willard, and Townley Streets, which range architecturally from the Italianate and Second Empire of the 1860s and 1870s to the Shingle style of the 1890s. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hartford&#39;s Asylum Hill area was farmland until the mid-1850s, when it began to be developed as a residential area. Collins Street has what is believed to be its oldest house, at #287, which stood on the estate of the Collins family. Over the next few decades the area south of Collins Street was turned into a residential neighborhood much as it is today, with a diversity of architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>Townley Street has one of the more consistent streetscapes, with a collection of brick and brownstone Italianate and Second Empire one and two-family houses. The U formed by Collins, Atwood, and Willard Streets has a series of Shingle style houses, most of which have brick first floors and shingled upper levels and touches of Colonial Revival design. East of Willard, Collins is lined with a row of slightly older Queen Anne and Italianate houses. Two of the houses, 171 Collins Street and 970 Asylum Avenue, have a known architect: in both instances it is George Keller.</p><br>
<p>The Budde–Singer Building is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. This three story, brick Italianate structure was built in 1882. It replaced a similar building that had been built in 1856 and destroyed in a fire. Its early Italianate style is unusual for this time period, but it fits into its streetscape with similarly designed buildings, including the neighboring Brazelton House Hotel. The Budde–Singer Building features round arched windows with brick patterned hoodmolds on the second and third floors, and a bracketed wooden cornice. The first floor storefront has been somewhat altered, and the exterior of the building has been painted since about 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Louisa Building is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1901, this two story, brick structure features a transitional design between the Italianate, that had been popular here, and the Neoclassical that would replace it in popularity. It has a triple storefront with three sets of three windows on the second floor. In place of hood molds, which were typical of the Italianate, each window has a heavy rusticated stone lintel. The metal cornice across the top of the facade is simpler in its decorative elements than earlier Italianate cornices. This building replaced the Ambler Block, which had been destroyed in an 1882 fire. The lot had remained empty in the intervening years. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Fohs Hall in Marion, Kentucky was built in 1926. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was built to serve as a community center for Marion and was a donation of Ferdinand Julius Fohs, a notable petroleum geologist who grew up in Marion. Architects Frankel and Curtis of Lexington, Kentucky, designed the building, which was built at cost of $73,081 on the site of the small house where Fohs had lived. Fohs donated it to the Marion Board of Education to serve as a community center and as an auxiliary building for Marion High School, which was located across the street. The building included a music room, a lounge, a study hall, a small library, classrooms, and an auditorium.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick building on a limestone foundation. It has a recessed center bay in its front, north-facing facade, topped by a stone pediment supported by four Corinthian columns.</p><br>
<p>Fohs formed a geological firm, Fohs and Gardner, with James H. Gardner as partner. Fohs is credited with helping discover the Mexia oil field in 1920.</p><br>
<p>The Frances School Gymnasium in Marion, Kentucky was built in 1938 as a New Deal era construction employment project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The gym is a one-story gambrel roofed structure with both balloon frame and steel beam support. It is 102 x in plan and sits on a poured concrete foundation. It is adjacent to a one-story brick school building built in about 1960.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register along with other New Deal projects covered in one study.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP registration asserts:The gymnasium is a good local example of the education building property type defined by the context. The structure, constructed in 1938, is important for showing that recreation for children was given a priority in the rural school experience. The gym is also important for documenting the partnership between school and community because it provided space for various community activities, within the framework prescribed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). This structure also is important for indicating Crittenden County&#39;s attitude during the late 1930s to school consolidation. Because the structure blends a variety of uses (educational, social, recreational, cultural) it is an important reflection of New Deal program goals, that projects would serve the public good broadly.</p><br>
<p>The Masters Building is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1937, this two story, brick structure is an adaptation of the commercial Art Deco and Art Moderne styles. The decorative elements are found in the brick patterning and cast concrete panels on the facade.</p><br>
<p>There are three other buildings on this same block that were built about the same time and use the same decorative techniques, with the Masters Building being the best example. This area was an expansion of the central business district after the construction of city hall across the street in 1936. A plumbing business, for which this building was constructed, was located on the first floor. There are three apartments on the second floor. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The McCandless Building is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. This three story brick Italianate structure was built in 1862 by local builder William McCandless. With the arrival of the railroad in 1856, Mount Pleasant was in need of new commercial buildings to house businesses and services that were opening in the expanding town. They were built on the north and east side of the town square. The Italianate was a prominent style used in the city at this time having been used by about a dozen buildings. This buildings features three round arch windows on the second and third floors with brick patterned hood molds. The storefront has been altered slightly, and the heavy wooden cornice that graced the top of the main facade was removed some time ago. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The James Turner House, a one-story Greek Revival style building located on 406 South Washington Avenue in Marshall, Texas, was built by a merchant, George Gammon Gregg to be the home for him and his bride, Mary Ann Wilson, who were married in 1851. It was first located at the southeast corner of Crockett Street and Washington Avenue.</p><br>
<p>James Turner, an attorney and former Confederate soldier, acquired the house in 1866. Turner and his wife had nine children and he built a separate structure as a "dormitory" for the expanding family. Turner became mayor of Marshall. In 1890, his son Robert added the Victorian columns and front porch, after he moved into the house with his new wife. Robert owned the house after the death of his father in 1913.</p><br>
<p>It was moved in the 20th century from Lot 1, facing Crockett Street, to Lot 2, now facing South Washington Avenue. At that time, the "dormitory" was razed and the salvaged wood was used for an addition of a new kitchen, a bathroom, and another room. The house had been unoccupied and fallen into disrepair several years after being used as an office building by the Harrison County Charities. The house was restored in 1977 by Robert&#39;s daughter and last surviving child, Eleanor Turner Gillespie, to essentially its original design; She removed the addition and replaced the roof and damaged plaster.</p><br>
<p>The house was made a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and a historic marker was installed in 1979. It was also listed as a National Register of Historic Places that year.</p><br>
<p>The James B. Colt House is a historic house at 154 Wethersfield Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1855, it is a high-quality example of Italianate architecture. It was built for James B. Colt, the brother of industrialist Samuel Colt, whose Armsmear estate is just to the north. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The James B. Colt House is located in the Sheridan-Charter Oak neighborhood of southern Hartford, on the east side of Wethersfield Avenue near its junction with Alden Street. It is situated facing Colt Park, a public city park that was originally part of the Colt family estate, and is south of the larger Armsmear estate of Samuel Colt. It is a three-story masonry structure, built out of brick covered in stucco. It has classic Italian villa features, including a low-pitch hip roof with deep bracketed eaves, and round-arch windows with decorative bracketed caps. The street-facing west facade is restrained, with a single-story porch across its left half that wraps around to the north. The western facade provides vistas of the park through tall windows on all three levels.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1855–57. James B. Colt was then serving as treasurer for the Colts Manufacturing Company, and lived in the house until 1859. It afterward had a number of high-profile occupants, including General William B. Franklin, Colts general manager until 1888, and George H. Day, one of Hartford&#39;s leading businessmen at the turn of the 20th century. In the 20th century the building was subdivided into apartments, and suffered an inside fire in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Congress Street is a city street in the South Green neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut. Extending for a single block from the South Green to Morris Street, it was developed in the 1850s with modest two-family residences, with infill development of larger apartment blocks around the turn of the 20th century. The entire street was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 as a good example of a well-preserved late-19th century residential street.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Congress Street is located south of downtown Hartford. It is a narrow one-way street extending south from its junction with Wyllys Street at South Green, to Morris Street. It is lined with paved sidewalks on both sides, which are separated from the street by a section of cobblestone construction and granite curbs. At the northern end of the street is its only commercial building, a triangular "flatiron" building shaped by the junction of Maple Avenue, Wyllys, and Congress. It houses commercial establishments on the ground floor and residences on the upper floors. The west side of the street is predominantly lined by a series of Italianate two-family brick houses built in the late 1850s, while the east side is taken up by larger apartment block dating to the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Congress Street was laid out in 1855, serving in part as an access to the back sides of large mansion houses facing Wethersfield Avenue, which it parallels to the east, and whose properties extended all the way to Congress Street. The west side of Congress Street was developed in the 1850s, benefiting from the growth of the Colt Armory to the east. Prominent residents of the early period included Francis A. Pratt and Amos Whitney, machinists who founded a business now known as Pratt & Whitney Measurement Systems, and whose names grace the more well-known Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine manufacturer. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of the estates facing Wethersfield Avenue were subdivided or redeveloped, and the apartment blocks facing Congress Street were built. The area underwent a major rehabilitation in the 1970s to restore its 19th-century character.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Concord at Union Street N. and Cabarrus Avenue in Concord, North Carolina was completed in 1926 and is a contributing structure to the Union Street North–Cabarrus Avenue Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The 46,536-square-foot building is the largest historic property in Cabarrus County, North Carolina and the second-largest privately owned building in downtown Concord.</p><br>
<p>Concord National Bank (later First Charter Bank) moved to the newly built Hotel Concord, a six-story Beaux Arts Classical Revival building with arch windows, "faced with ashlar limestone ornamented with classical motifs", designed by William Lee Stoddart.</p><br>
<p>Union Street Corporation approved the sale of the hotel to Rehab Development in February 2016. The city of Concord agreed to buy properties that were previously part of Fifth Third Bank and planned to donate those to Rehab Development.</p><br>
<p>In December 2016, work began on the $5.3 million Rehab Development project which included the hotel, the First Charter Bank building, and the Concord Telephone Company building on Cabarrus Avenue. The hotel was converted to 40 apartments on the four upper floors and seven commercial spaces, including an event venue, which was already being used, that included the ballroom, kitchen, lobby and part of the basement.</p><br>
<p>The View at Hotel Concord began leasing apartments June 1, and Union Street Market opened on the hotel&#39;s ground floor in July 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Moultrie Commercial Historic District, in Moultrie in Colquitt County, Georgia, is a 48 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The district is roughly bounded by NE. First Ave., SE. Second Ave., W. First St. and E. Fourth St. In 1994, the district included 61 contributing buildings and one contributing object. It also included 17 non-contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The district included three properties which were already separately listed on the National Register:</p><br>

<p>The Udell Lookout Tower is a fire lookout tower located on Forest Road 5207 in the Manistee section of the Huron-Manistee National Forests, near Wellston, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Manistee National Forest was created (as the Manistee Purchase unit) in 1933. In 1936, a fire control plan for the area was designed and implemented. Part of that plan was the construction of Udell Lookout Tower. Soon after a residence and garage were constructed near the tower; these buildings were moved about ten years later. Udell Tower remained a primary fire lookout tower until the 1960s, when aerial observation flights became more common. Many other lookout towers were abandoned at the same time, and were eventually destroyed or demolished. The Udell Lookout Tower is the last standing example of this type of tower in the Huron-Manistee National Forests.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Udell Lookout Tower is a 100 foot tall prefabricated steel frame tower, constructed from galvanized steel angles bolted together, located atop a hill. The foundation is made of four reinforced concrete pedestals. An enclosed hipped roof observation cab made from galvanized sheet steel is located on top of the tower. The cab has a wooden floor and windows on all sides. A small prefabricated metal building is currently located immediately adjacent to one corner of the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Timmerman–Burd Building is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. The previous building on this lot was destroyed in a fire in 1883 and Henry Timmerman had this building constructed to replace it the same year. The two story brick structure is one of several building facing the town square in the Italianate style. This building features a single storefront, and four segmental arch windows on the second floor with simple brick patterned hood molds. The bracketed metal cornice at the top of the main facade was mass-produced and likely ordered from a catalog. Burd worked for Timmerman and took over the business. This building housed a shoe store as late as the 1990s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Zuhn Building is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1886 a block east of the town square, this three story, brick, Italianate structure replaced a single story building that had housed the Mount Pleasant Carriage Works. H.A. Zuhn had that building torn down and this one built so he could expand his business. He used this facility to manufacture and repair vehicles. The only decorative element of the building is the bracketed metal cornice with date and pediment caps across the top of the facade. The double storefront has been altered somewhat over the years. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Manistee Harbor, South Breakwater is a navigational structure located at the mouth of the Manistee River , in Manistee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The breakwater is significant due to its construction, which represents a final stage in the United States Army Corps of Engineers&#39;s use of timber crib substructures in pier and breakwater construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Beginning in the 1840s, the area around lake Manistee began attracting lumber and mill industries. Although the lake offered a fine natural harbor, access from Lake Michigan was limited due to a series of sand bars. To improve access, in 1854 a new channel was cut across the split of land to the west of Lake Manistee, at the location of the present channel. In 1867, legislation was passed allowing the United States Army Corps of Engineers to improve and maintain the channel, including reconstructing the piers at the entryway. The Manistee area remained an important logging and milling center through the rest of the 19th century, and at the beginning of the 20th century, Manistee was producing upwards of 138,000,000 ft of lumber and 28,000,000 shingles per year, most of which was shipped through the harbor.</p><br>
<p>In 1912, Congress passed the River and Harbor Act, which authorized the USA Army Corps of Engineers to start work on a series of improvements at Manistee Harbor. These included a series of dredging projects, the shortening of the south pier, and the construction of a 1300-foot south breakwater, with a shore connection about 1,200 ft long. The Corps of Engineers contracted Greiling Brothers Company to construct the breakwater, and work began in May 1913. A number of cribs were put in place through 1916 and the shore connection was completed in 1917/18 by John Ginzel. The project, including construction of the superstructure, was finally completed in 1920. The wood decking of the superstructure was replaced by concrete in 1933.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The south breakwater at Manistee, Michigan is one of three navigation structures at the mouth of the Manistee harbor which are maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers, the other two being the north and south piers. The south breakwater is 2,485 feet in length, and consists of two substructural components: an outer timber crib breakwater and an inner shore connection. The outer timber crib structure is 1,300 feet long, and consists of a series of timber cribs anchored with timber piles.

<p>The Peterson Manufacturing Building, also known as the New London Cooperative Creamery, is a historic building located in New London, Iowa, United States. The first floor of this building was constructed in 1908 by John Edgar Peterson so he could expand his glove and mitten factory. Peterson was also instrumental in the establishing the First National Bank in New London and served as its president, the Henry County Telephone Company, the New London Improvement Company, and the New London Land Company. The second floor of this building was completed in 1909 by the local Masonic lodge. Peterson died in 1917 and glove and mitten factory closed briefly before it was reopened by the Fairfield Glove and Mitten Factory. In 1928 that factory closed and the building housed a creamery until 1968. After being used as a warehouse it was donated to the Dover Historical Society for a historical museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Manistee County Courthouse Fountain, also known as the Memorial Fountain, is a decorative fountain located in the Onekama Village Park in Onekama, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1878, a Victorian Gothic county courthouse was constructed on Third Street in Manistee, Michigan. In 1887 two fountains were placed on the courthouse grounds,</p><br>
<p>to each side and slightly in front of the courthouse itself. These fountains remained in place until 1950, when the courthouse was destroyed by fire. At that time, the Portage Lake Garden Club, a civic improvement club located in Onekama, accepted one of the fountains to be placed in the Onekama Village Park. It is possible that this fountain was actually constructed from pieces of the two, as only a few fragments of the "other" fountain exist.</p><br>
<p>The fountain was installed in Onekama in July 1950, and landscaping added around it. It was dedicated in August 1951. In 1974, as a result of damage to the fountain, it was removed, repaired, and reinstalled.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Memorial Fountain is an ornamental fountain made of cast iron, standing on a concrete base and topped with a lead statue of a merman riding a dolphin and blowing a horn. The entire fountain is 77 inches high and 88 inches wide. It is constructed in three tiers, with a wide lower basin at the bottom, a pedestal supporting a central basin in the middle, and a second pedestal supporting the upper basin an merman statue at the top. An inscription, "Patented April 11, 1871" appears on the surface of the fountain. The basins are decorated with designs featuring storks, cat-o&#39;-nine tails, lilly leaves, and flowers, as well as acanthus, flute, and scallop designs.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Crawford Tucker Log House and Farmstead is a 45 acre property near Moultrie, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located at the end of a long dirt road, about midway between Funston and Moultrie, in Colquitt County, Georgia.</p><br>
<p>The house, built in c.1820s to c.1840s, is a one-story dog trot log house, with additional shed porches and enclosed porch rooms. Its main part is built of hand-hewn logs with dove-tail notching.</p><br>
<p>The Case Brothers Historic District encompasses a complex of homes, business, and recreational properties belonging to a prominent papermaking family in Manchester, Connecticut. The Case family owned and operated a paper mill from 1862 until 1967, built architecturally sophisticated residences, and minimally developed what is now the Case Mountain Recreation Area, a rustic public park in southeastern Manchester. Their properties were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Case Brothers Historic District is located in southeastern Manchester, isolated to some degree from the rest of the city by Interstate 384 to the northwest, and from other development by the rough terrain of Case Mountain to the south. The district includes a brick and wood-frame mill complex, dams and bridges built by the Case Brothers across Birch Mountain Brook that resulted in the creation of Upper and Lower Case Ponds, and the two handsome residential estates of Alfred Wells Case and Albert Willard Case. The two houses, at 673 and 680 Spring Street, are walking distance to the brothers&#39; mill, which stands near the outlet of Lower Case Pond. Both houses were built in the 1860s and were originally fully Italianate in style, but were both extensively restyled in the early 20th century. One was given a Mediterranean Revival style, with a stuccoed exterior, and the other was transformed into a Colonial Revival mansion.</p><br>
<p>The twin Case brothers both learned the papermaking trade in plants on the Hockanum River. Recognizing business opportunities created by the American Civil War, they established their own paper facility at this location in 1862. The enclave of family houses was developed beginning in 1869. Over the next several decades, the brothers expanded their land holdings and business interests, building a nearly self-contained mill community then known as Highland Park. The company was passed on to the next generation (the brothers dying in 1908 and 1925), and survived the Great Depression. The family sold the paper business to Boise Cascade in 1967, which continued to operate on the site until 1973. The principal residences have also been sold out of the family. The informal park that the Cases created on Case Mountain is now a patchwork of land owned by the city and by a local conservation trust.</p><br>
<p>The Swedesburg Historic Commercial District, also known as the Swedish Heritage Museum, is a nationally recognized historic district in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The three historic buildings housed commercial businesses beginning in an era when this unincorporated community was a settlement of Swedish immigrants. It is not known when the first retail establishment was built here, by the Berg Hardware Store, the frame building furthest to the west, was constructed in 1875. The Sam White General Store, the middle frame building, was completed in 1881. Both of these buildings were moved to their present location when the Farmers Union Exchange was built in 1928. This building type, a frame structure with the "boomtown" front, was typical of frontier towns and were replaced by brick buildings as the town grew. However, in many small towns in Iowa, this style continued to be the norm. The brick veneer and the aluminum siding above it were added to the front of the building in 1964.</p><br>
<p>The Farmers Union Exchange had been formed after the Anderson and Nelson Store moved their business and their building north to Olds, Iowa. The White store building was joined to the new building for extra space, and the Berg building was used for storage. The store remained in operation until 1976. The complex was acquired by the Swedish Heritage Society for a museum in 1990, and opened the following year. The fourth, and non-contributing building, was built as a garage in 1928. It was converted into a stuga, a small Swedish cottage, by the museum so visitors could see what immigrants to this community left behind in the old country.</p><br>
<p>The W.W. Ashburn House, at 609 1st Avenue SW in Moultrie, Georgia, was built in 1900–1901. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story late Victorian-style house with some Georgian Revival features. It was deemed notable for its architecture and for its association with W. W. Ashburn (1838-1906), bank president of the first bank in Moultrie.</p><br>
<p>As of 2017, the house was purchased by an unknown buyer and moved to a new location.</p><br>
<p>The Moultrie High School in Moultrie, Georgia, United States was built in 1928-1929 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It later became the Colquitt County Arts Center, which offers art classes and other services.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story U-shaped brick building covering most of an entire block which was built in Georgian Revival style. It was designed by architect William J.J. Chase and was built by Moultrie contractor W.J. Pippin. The brick is laid in Flemish bond.</p><br>
<p>The Arts Center began as a project of the Moultrie Service League in 1977.</p><br>
<p>McCall art collection. He personally selected and donated to the Colquitt County Arts Center each piece of art in the collection, which is housed in the</p><br>
<p>A permanent McCall Gallery at the Colquitt County Arts Center houses the William Frank McCall Jr. Permanent Collection.</p><br>
<p>The Sylvest House on the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton, Louisiana is a house that was built in c.1880. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It is a dog trot house which was built by Nehemiah Sylvest.</p><br>
<p>It was located in or near Fisher, Louisiana and was moved to a rural-like area in the Washington Parish Fairgrounds to be preserved.</p><br>
<p>The Pleasant Lawn School Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located northeast of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. This is the only intact example of a consolidated rural school district in Iowa. It consists of a two-story brick school building , a two-story frame teacherage , and a hack barn. A gymnasium was added to the school building in 1941. The school was still in existence when the buildings were added to the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Consolidated schools in rural areas were an attempt to increase the tax base and to improve the educational opportunities that were offered by these small public schools. There were about 47 such districts in the state by 1920, and by 1930 there were 89 rural districts. This school was a combination of four school districts: School No. 4 in Marion Township, and Ebenezer, Wesley, and Everett Schools in Canaan Township. Voters approved the consolidation in 1916. While several of these schools were centered around small towns, many were like this one that was located far enough away from town that it was difficult for teachers to get to the schools. A teacherage was built to house them at the school. Students were brought to school in a horse-drawn hack. The barn was used to house the horses during the school day.</p><br>
<p>The Racine County Courthouse is the seat of justice and county courthouse of Racine County, Wisconsin. The building is located at 730 Wisconsin Avenue, near downtown in the countys seat of Racine, Wisconsin. Built in 1930 and 1931 by the Chicago firm Holabird & Root, the Art Deco-styled building stands eleven stories tall and dominates the citys skyline. In addition to the county&#39;s judicial system, the building also houses the County Executive, whose office is on the tenth floor, and most of the offices for the county government. The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The present courthouse is the third to serve Racine County. The first, constructed in 1839, was located in the town&#39;s market square, today known as Monument Square. Built in a Greek Revival style, the county building was intended to house "a court-house, a jail, and a building for county offices." Before it was removed in 1877, this building was moved into the middle of the square so that construction on a replacement could begin on the same site. The building was moved to the west side of town, where it became a fanning mill factory.</p><br>
<p>The second courthouse was designed by Henry C. Koch in a Second Empire style, and was completed in 1877. County officials proposed a replacement in 1911, which would have been designed by Bell, Tyrie & Chapman and occupied the same site, but this plan was controversial and was blocked by state statute in 1914. Instead, the courthouse was expanded with the addition of a third floor. Unlike its predecessor, the second courthouse was demolished after being replaced. During construction, the cornerstone of the building was moved to the current courthouse as a historical artifact.</p><br>
<p>Planning for the third and current courthouse started with the creation of a building fund in 1923. Construction began in 1928, when the county selected a full city block, bounded by Wisconsin and College Avenues and Seventh and Eighth Streets, and set it aside for a new county office. This location was the former site of Racine High School, which had closed earlier that year. Chicago architects John A. Holabird and John W. Root Jr. were chosen to design the building. The courthouse was one of three major civic construction projects that took place between 1930 and 1931, alongside Racine&#39;s new City Hall and a new post office. All three of these buildings opened during the same week in July 1931, in a county-wide "Dedication Week" celebration.</p><br>
<p>The Racine County Courthouse is the tallest building in Racine County, standing 157 feet above the street and 164 feet from the base of its ground floor. The building has eleven stories and a basement used for archival storage. Originally, the four uppermost floors were home to the Racine County Jail, and the basement the office of the Sheriff&#39;s Department, but both of these moved across the street to the Racine County Law Enforcement Center when it opened in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The relief sculptures on the building&#39;s walls were created by Carl Milles, in his first American commission. Architecturally, the building has also been noted for the relief sculptures on its bronze elevator doors.</p><br>
<p>The Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex, also known as the Interlochen Cottage, is a private summer home located at 2046 Crescent Beach Road in Williamsport, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Henry Sandenburgh was born in Prussia in 1853. He emigrated to the United States, married, and arrived in Williamsport in 1878 as a fisherman. Sandenburgh and his wife Mary purchased the lot this resort is on in 1880, and built a house which is no longer extant. They took in a boarder. In 1882, the couple constructed the main house of this complex, which allowed them to house four boarders. The Sandenburghs also lived in the house, along with their children. In 1908, Mary Sandenburgh purchased the Hotel Onekama in Onekama, Michigan and the family moved there. The Williamsport house was rented for the summer of 1908, and sold to William P. and Belle C. Rogers in 1909. Henry Sandenburgh died in 1913, and his wife Mary continued to operate the hotel until her death in 1928.</p><br>
<p>William P. Rogers was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1857. He attended Indiana State University at Terre Haute, Columbia Law School, and practiced law and joined the Law Department at Indiana University. He soon became dean of the department, and in 1902 became dean of the Cincinnati Law School. He became involved in a number of community and business interests in Cincinnati, and eventually resigned his law school position to focus more on business. Rogers and his wife were one of the first resorters to discover the Onekama area. William Rogers died in 1921, leaving his wife Belle and daughters Kathryn and Norine as the principal family members in the Williamsport house. They developed the outbuildings and grounds of the complex, remodeling the house and adding a studio designed by the prefabricated building makers E. F. Hodgson Company.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex consists of six structures: the summer residence, guest house, garage, studio, stables, and a maintenance building containing an apartment. The buildings are situated in two acres of landscaped grounds.</p><br>
<p>Summer Residence (1882–83) The summer residence was constructed by Henry Sandenburgh, and renovated in 1919-20 and again in 1936 and c. 1940. It is a two-story, side-gabled Colonial Revival structure with a single story gabled wing at the rear. It has a symmetrical facade, with screened second-story porches on each side.</p><br>
<p>Guest House (1882–83) The guest house was likely constructed as a barn around the time the main house was built. It is a symmetrical single story gable-roofed structure with a steeply pitched roof and a central entry porch protected by a canopy supported by two square pillars. The building is clad with weatherboard and sits on a cement slab foundation.</p><br>
<p>Garage The Garage is a single story hipped-roof structure with two automobile bays. It is clad with weatherboard and has an asphalt shingle roof.</p><br>
<p>Studio (1935) The studio was built for Kathryn Gates, Rogers&#39;s daughter, who was a painter. It is a prefabricated structure made by E. F. Hodgson Company, and is a single story, asymmetrical Colonial Revival structure with a hipped roof and a small off-center small entry porch supported by classical columns.</p><br>

<p>Maintenance Building The maintenance building is a single story structure with an additional on the rear and wings on each end. The main structure has a hipped roof, the wings have side-gable roofs, and the read addition has a shed roof. The entire roof is covered with asphalt shingles, and the majority of the building is clad with asbestos siding.</p><br>
<p>The Simeon Babcock House is a private house located at 420 Third Street in Manistee, Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Simeon Babcock was born on July 1, 1832, near Utica, New York. His parents moved to Ohio, then Wisconsin, and by 1852 Babcock moved to Milwaukee and went into business for himself as a master carpenter and contractor. In 1870, Babcock partnered with Michael Engelmann to open a lumber business in Milwaukee, and in 1873 Ernest N. Salling of Manistee joined the partnership. The company built a mill in Manstee to provide lumber, and when Salling retired in 1877, Babcock</p><br>
<p>moved to Manistee. In 1881, he built this house for himself. Babcock lived in the house until his death in 1896.</p><br>
<p>After Babcock died, his wife Sarah remained in the house until her own death in 1912. In 1915, the couple&#39;s daughter Ella sold the house to R. W. Smith, and in 1917 Smith rented the house to Philip P. Schnorbach, one of the leading industrialists in Manistee during the first half of the twentieth century. The Schnorbach continued renting the house until 19230, when they purchased it from Smith. Philip Schnorbach died in 1945, and his wife continued to live there until 1956. In 1961, the house was sold to Mrs. Alice M. Hunt Catlow, who sold it to her brother-in-law, John Noud Kelly, in 1963. Kelly lived in the house until 1994. In 1995, the house was sold to John Perschbacher, who continues to own the house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a three-story brick structure measuring approximately fifty feet by sixty-two feet. The roof is a combination of gable and mansard types, and the entire house is somewhat asymmetrical, exhibiting an eclectic combination of High Victorian architectural styles, including Stick, Eastlake, and Second Empire. Two-story bay windows are located on three facades, and a three-story octagonal tower penetrates the roofline. The front entryway contains an elaborate pair of arched double doors.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the first floor contains an entry hall, two parlors, a dining room, kitchen and library. The front hall has a parquet floor using contrasting woods, and the dining room has plaster molding and built-in china cupboard in the bay area. Woodwork made from pine, oak, maple, walnut, cherry, and rosewood is located throughout the house. An elaborate open staircase with turned balusters leads upward to the second and third stories. The second floor contains four principal bedrooms, a linen closet and a back hall. The third floor contains a large, roughly plastered room with several smaller rooms opening off from it.</p><br>
<p>Eaton Elementary School, also known as Third Ward School, is located at 1105 McInnis Ave. in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, United States. It was utilized as a public school building from 1905 until the late 1980s. The building was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1991. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original Eaton School building is a two-story brick structure with a 12-bay front facade that contains round-arch window frames and a hip roof, previously covered with asphalt shingles. A stucco finish was applied to the brick outer walls at an unspecified date. The ground-level entrance on the north facade was topped with a round-arch transom. A steel fire escape for the second floor is mounted on the west end of the front facade.</p><br>
<p>The south facade was less ornate, with an entrance door on the first floor flanked by 4 arched window frames on the east end and 10 windows in arched frames on the second floor. The east elevation contains 7 arched window frames on the first and second floors. The center window frame on the second floor of the east elevation contains a metal door for accessing a steel fire escape. The west elevation was modified in 1949 by a one-story cafeteria addition.</p><br>
<p>Both floors of the 1905 building were subdivided into four classrooms, off a central hallway. Plastered walls had beadboard wainscotting at the height of the window sills. Ceilings were also beadboard.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original building is believed to have been designed by Hattiesburg architect Robert E. Lee and was constructed in 1905. The buildings Romanesque Revival architectural style was common in early 20th century school designs, but Eaton School is considered by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) to be a unique example of the architecture because the building has survived intact for more than 100 years. The schools name was derived from an early settler, George Eaton, who donated the land where the school was built.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, a one-story, flat-roof, brick addition was constructed on the west end of the original building, under the direction of architects Hearon & McCleskey. It contained three classrooms and a cafeteria/meeting space with a stage. In 1957, a one-story, flat-roof, brick auditorium addition, designed by Associated School Architects, was constructed and connected to the stage from the earlier addition.</p><br>
<h2>Deterioration</h2><br>
<p>By the late 1980s, the original building no longer served as a public school. When it was assessed for National Register status during the first decade of the 21st century, deferred maintenance had resulted in a leaking roof.</p><br>
<p>To prevent further deterioration and begin restoration, a new roof was contracted through open bidding. The roofing project began in November 2009, but had to be redone three times to correctly match the pitch of the original roof, as required by MDAH, to meet historic specifications. By March 2010, the roofing project was nearing completion. But, during that 5-month interval, the building&#39;s interior had been exposed to winter rains which weakened the supporting beams on the second floor. A portion of the second floor collapsed and caused a substantial structural crack in the building, thereby leaving the building structurally unsound for the roof to be completed.</p><br>
<p>By 2015, a portion of the roof framing and part of the second story wall had collapsed. Two-ton concrete anchors were used with cables attached to the exterior walls to brace the structure. The City of Hattiesburg and MDAH provided funding to stabilize the school building, and the city intended to apply for grants to restore the structure.</p><br>
<p>The Manistee Central Business District is a commercial historic district roughly bounded by Maple, Washington, Water and River Streets in Manistee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The City of Manistee was founded in 1841 when John and Joseph Stronach established a sawmill within the present city limits of Manistee. The city almost immediately became a lumber boom town, with 200 people living there in 1852 and 1000 by 1861. In the 1860s, the city grew even further, with 300 buildings constructed in 1869 alone. Nearly all of these buildings were constructed of wood, and on October 8, 1871, a catastrophic fire destroyed most of the downtown and the surrounding industrial areas. The fire resulted in the subsequent re-construction of a newdowntown, with buildings predominately of high-quality brick in an Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>In 1878, rock salt was discovered near the city, and the industry grew as the lumber industry declined. The result was that by 1900 Manistee was home to 22,700 people. However, as the century progressed, the city&#39;s population dropped to around 8000 people. In fact, only limited new construction was undertaken after the construction of the Manistee County Savings Bank in 1907. The lack of new construction, though, has also left a downtown area with a historic feel, with fiew demolitions or architectural alterations.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Manistee Commercial Historic District consists of buildings surrounding Manistee&#39;s two major cross streets, River Street and Maple Street. The district contains 91 structures, of which 85 of the buildings are commercial structures, with three residences, four public buildings, and two fraternal lodges. Twenty of the buildings are not historically contributing. The contributing buildings are primarily brick Victorian commercial buildings constructed between 1870 and 1910.</p><br>
<p>Significant buildings in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Dunham House (1878) The original portion of the Dunham House, built in 1878, was a three-story-high hotel containing 40 hotel rooms. In 1883, the hotel doubled in size, and is now approximately 160 feet by 120 feet. It is an Italianate structure with five bays along the main facade.</p><br>
<p>Ramsdell Theatre (1903) The Ramsdell Theatre and associated hall are built of deep red brick. The front entrance is through a formal a Doric portico, with a front facade topped with a boxed pedimented cornice.</p><br>
<p>Vogue Theatre (1938) The Vogue Theatre exterior has strong horizontal and vertical lines, presenting a dramatic contrast to the surrounding buildings.</p><br>
<p>Manistee County Savings Bank (1906–07) The Manistee County Savings Bank was designed by Albert E. Colcord of Chicago. It is a three-story building constructed of Bedford limestone. The facade is divided in half at the first floor, with one half containing two stores, and the other half containing the main banking room. Offices were on the second floor, and the third floor house a Knights of Pythias Lodge.</p><br>
<p>Ramsdell Building&#39; (1891) The Ramsdell Building is a four-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure with a unique corner turret.</p><br>
<p>Haley Block (1883) The Haley Block is a two-story brick building, measuring about sixty feet in width, is divided into three storefront bays.</p><br>
<p>Pacific House (1880–87) Joseph Baur built two stores at this location in 1880. He soon added three more, then a second story level spanning the entire block, which opened as a hotel in 1884. The hotel was located near the newly opened Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad passenger station, and business was good enough that Bauer expanded his hotel in 1887. The building was then 120 feet by 120 feet</p><br>
<p>Winkler Block (1894–95) This masonry building is approximately 75 feet wide, consisting of three bays. The most distinctive architectural feature of the building is the corner turret. The turret is made of sheet metal and has the turret has five faces, each with a double-hung window, and is capped with a bell-shaped hip roof.</p><br>
<p>The Central Avenue-Center Cemetery Historic District encompasses part of the town center of East Hartford, Connecticut. Although it was founded in the mid-17th century, it is now dominated by architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Center Cemetery is the town&#39;s oldest surviving property, and includes the grave of William Pitkin, a colonial governor. The district, including portions of Main Street and Central Avenue, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of East Hartford was settled not long after the first settlement by English colonists across the Connecticut River at Hartford in 1636. Its Main Street is set on high terrace above that river and the Hockanum River to the south, now well-protected from historic flooding by a system of dikes built between 1938 and 1944. Originally part of Hartford, it was separately incorporated in 1783. The earliest parcels of the Center Cemetery, acquired in 1710, are the oldest surviving element of the early settlement period. The area prospered in the 18th century with agriculture and industry, the latter powered by the waters of the Hockanum River. Improved transportation systems of the late 19th century gradually transformed the center from a more agriculturally focused area to a residential suburb of Hartford, readily accessible via the Bulkeley Bridge and streetcar service. A significant area of Main Street was redeveloped after World War II, but a small portion near Central Avenue, and the residences lining that street and the adjacent cemetery, represent well the historic development of the town.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes four buildings on Main Street: the c. 1874 Albert Raymond House, the East Hartford Public Library, the 1939 Post Office building, and the c. 1919 Churchs Corner Inn. The library is set in a park that was a gift of Albert Raymond, which includes a number of the towns war memorials. The library, built in 1889, is a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Extend east from the library is Central Avenue, which is lined mainly by 19th-century and early 20th-century houses. They are typically two stories in height and of wood-frame construction. The most common styles found are the Italianate and Queen Anne, with many vernacular structures from the 1880s and 1890s. There are a few brick houses, as well as a few brick apartment houses near the eastern end of the street.</p><br>
<p>The City Hall-Monument District encompasses the city hall complex and central municipal park of New Britain, Connecticut. A prominent part of the city&#39;s downtown business district, the city hall is an architecturally distinguished former hotel, while the park includes a substantial Beaux Arts Civil War memorial. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>New Britains City Hall is a complex of three buildings on the north side of West Main Street between Washington and Main Streets. They stand facing the triangular Central Park, formed by West Main and one-way branchest of Main Street. The park is a predominantly paved area, with plantings lining its east and west sides. At its center is a circular grassy area, raised behind a low retaining wall, which has at its center the citys memorial to its American Civil War participants. It is a richly decorated square structure built out of limestone. Each face has Doric columns supporting a gabled pediment as its first stage, the elements framing different things on each face. Above this is another square stage with inscribed panels on each side and gold-leaf sconces at the corners. A circular pedestal set above this supports a golden winged victory statue. The monument was designed by Ernest Flagg and placed in 1900.</p><br>
<p>City Hall consists of a large central five-story building, flanked on the left by a small three-story building and the right by a two-story one. The central building is the former Russwin Hotel, built in 1885 to a Romanesque design by Joseph Morrill Wells, an assistant to the famous architect Stanford White. It appears very much like an Italian palazzo, with an exterior that extensively uses terra cotta tile. It is notable as the only known work that is ascribed exclusively to Wells. When the building was adapted for use as city hall, the design work was done by McKim, Meade & White. The building to the left is a former post office, built in 1871, and that to the right is the former New Britain National Bank Building, dating to 1860–61. These two buildings are both well preserved examples of commercial Italianate architecture.</p><br>
<p>The 63rd Army Air Forces Contract Pilot School is located at the Douglas Municipal Airport in Coffee County, Georgia. During World War II, it was part of the Civilian Pilot Training Act of 1939, to train civilian pilots to serve as contract labor in an auxiliary capacity for the military. The program lasted until 1944, during which 250,000 men and women had been certified as pilots by the contract schools. At the Douglas facility, 9,000 pilots had been certified between its opening in 1941 and its closing in 1944. The buildings that remain intact were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Civilian Pilot Training Program</h2><br>
<p>As conditions led up to World War II, the United States joined European nations in strengthening its armed forces, which included the training of civilians for participation in the country&#39;s defense. The experimental Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) had been operating since 1938, without the involvement of the military. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Civilian Pilot Training Act on June 27, 1939, the military began setting up its own schools. The CPTP became the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) War Training Service on December 7, 1942. The civilians who were certified as pilots through the program served as an auxiliary contract labor force in addition to the existing military strength. By 1944 when the combined civilian and military training programs ended, 435,000 men and women had qualified as pilots at 1,460 flight schools, and 1,132 colleges and universities. Of those figures, 250,000 were trained at 75 Contract Pilot flight schools.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and management</h2><br>
<p>The 63rd Army Air Forces Contract Pilot School was built and administered by different levels of government and civilian entities. The city of Douglas and Coffee County jointly purchased the land in 1941 and retained responsibility for clearing and maintaining the acreage. Oversight of the construction and daily operations of the school were contracted to the civilian Raymond-ONeal Aviation Company, partnered by Wesley Newman Raymond and B. P. ONeal.</p><br>
<p>The United States Army Corps of Engineers reviewed and approved the building design by Miami architect Stefan H. Zachar. Construction by private Miami contractor C. Franklin Wheeler commenced in July 1941. Both the architect and contractor had previously built a primary training school for the 53d Flying Training Detachment at what is now Carlstrom Field in Florida.</p><br>
<p>The Defense Plant Corporation (DPC) was created in 1940 as a subsidiary of Reconstruction Finance Corporation for the purpose of financing war time endeavors that might not prove profitable once the war ended. DPC would then lease the facilities to private companies to operate the businesses. With that method, DPC assumed the fixed assets of Raymond-Brinckerhoff Aviation Company on January 2, 1942, and the aviation partners in turn leased the facilities to operate the school. George Brinckerhoff resigned in July, and Robert Richardson became Raymond&#39;s partner.</p><br>
<h2>Training and the facilities</h2><br>
<p>The Contract Pilot School in Douglas, Georgia was constructed as a primary training school on a 700 acre tract in 1941–1943. In this case, "primary" training meant that the potential civilian pilots already had some measure of basic flight instructions before arriving. The Douglas school gave them 100 hours of classroom instruction that included basic instrument training with the Link Trainer. Following that, they were given lessons in flying the PT-17 biplane, and learned to solo. In order to graduate, the civilian pilots needed 60 hours of flying time and 175 landings.</p><br>
<p>The military construction in the United States during World War II was usually intended for temporary usage, only built to last out the conflict. Speed, minimal expense and functionality dominated as prefabricated wooden buildings were erected to meet the immediate needs. By contrast, the school in Douglas was built with concrete and clay-like tiles, thereby ensuring that many of the structures have survived into the 21st Century.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in August on the sod landing strip, with a second landing strip finished before the end of 1941.</p><br>
<p>In October, the first classroom opened to 50 students. Seventeen more buildings would follow, including living quarters for the pilots and a mess hall. Both men and women students were accepted, and the school grounds eventually accommodated recreational activities. Within two years of its opening, the training facilities employed 1,000 people at expenses in excess of $1,000,000 annually. Graduations were celebrated, and social and athletic events were part of the lifestyle. The government closed down the schools in 1944 to concentrate its forces in the war zones. The 63rd Army Air Forces Contract Pilot School at Douglas had successfully trained 9,000 pilots by the time it closed on December 28, 1944.</p><br>
<h2>Aftermath</h2><br>
<p>The airfield was re-purposed after the war as Douglas Municipal Airport. The 63rd Army Air Forces Contract Pilot School training facilities that remain intact were added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on May 14, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Commercial Trust Company Building, also known locally as the Anvil Building, and now The Apartments at Anvil Place, is a historic commercial building at 55 West Main Street in downtown New Britain, Connecticut. Built in 1927, it is a distinctive example of Romanesque Revival architecture with Gothic features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, and is a contributing property to the Downtown New Britain historic district.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Commercial Trust Company Building is prominently located in the center of New Britain, just west of the City Hall complex on the north side of West Main Street. It is a seven-story masonry structure, with an exterior finished in limestone on the lower levels, and brick on the upper ones. The lower three levels form a monumental facade, with three tall rounded-arch openings mostly filled with glass, and a side. The center one has a bronze doorway providing access to what was historically the bank lobby, which has tall ceilings, marble floors, and a surviving tellers counter. The upper four floors of the building, now converted to apartments, are faced in brick, with the top-floor windows in Gothic-arched openings. The building is crowned by a corbelled brick cornice. The decorative elements of the facade include repeated occurrences of blacksmiths anvils, which were one of the symbols of the Commercial Trust Company.</p><br>
<p>The building was erected in 1927 for the Commercial Trust Company, which was organized in 1915 as an alternative to the New Britain National Bank. The architects were Hopkins & Dentz of New York. The building is a statement of the organizations (and the citys) prosperity in the 1920s. By 1929, with the advent of the Great Depression, the company fell on hard times and closed its doors in December 1930. The building was eventually purchased by the New Britain National Bank.</p><br>
<p>The San Diego Trust and Savings Bank Building is an historic building in San Diego, in the USA state of California. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, architect William Templeton Johnson was commissioned to design the building, and construction began in 1927. The building opened to the public on April 14, 1928. The bank vacated the site on March 18, 1994, and in 1999 the building reopened as a Courtyard by Marriott hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Pearl Street Historic District is an historic district located in Brandon, Rankin County, Mississippi. The district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Rankin County, Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War, General William Sherman ordered Union troops to burn the city. Most of Brandon was destroyed in the fires but a few homes of the era survived. Some of these homes are located in the Pearl Historic District, next to the Old Brandon Cemetery. Two of the three homes within the historic district were built between 1850 and 1860, while the third was built circa 1920.</p><br>
<p>St. Johns Lutheran Church, also known as Evangelical St. Johns German Lutheran Church, was a complex of historic buildings located north of Kalona, Iowa, United States. This Lutheran congregation was organized in 1870 by German immigrants who settled in southern Johnson County in the 1860s. It began as a mission under the direction of the Rev. J. Hoerlin, Sr., and it was formally incorporated in 1875. The simple frame church building was completed that same year. It rested on a concrete block foundation, from 1917, and featured three round-arch windows on the side walls and a fanlight over the main entrance. When the Rev. H. Hertle came as the first resident pastor in 1878 a two-story frame parsonage was built next to the church. Behind the church and parsonage sat an outhouse and a catechetical room that was used for children&#39;s religious instruction. Services in English were begun in 1905 because the younger members no longer spoke German.</p><br>
<p>From the turn of the 20th century until 1955 the congregation slowly declined in numbers. From 1955 to 1958 a minister from Iowa City conducted services here. After that time only occasional services for funerals or family reunions were held. By the time the buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, they were in poor condition. They have all subsequently been torn down. A small cemetery remains in the church grounds.</p><br>
<p>Jacinto Lopez Martinez Grammar School, also known as Escuela Jacinto Lopez Martinez, in Dorado, Puerto Rico, is a school built in 1923-25 which was designed by architect Pedro Adolfo de Castro.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story U-shaped building.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes at as "truly, on the outside, a rich and monumental symbol of the new emphasis given to the education of the Puerto Rican youth in the 1920s and 1930s." Its size, location on the town&#39;s main plaza, and architectural detailing "were undoubtedly meant to emphasize the differences between the new system (American) and its ideals in terms of educational goals, and the old, Spanish, ways."</p><br>
<p>The D.A. Varnado and Son Store in Franklinton, Louisiana is an Italianate-style building constructed in c.1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 2001.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed to be "locally significant in the area of architecture because it is a rare and well preserved historic commercial building with period shopfront and interior."</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick commercial building. It originally had a second-story gallery wrapping around three sides of the building; this was removed in a 1925 renovation and replaced by a metal awning.</p><br>
