<p>The Bogalusa City Hall, in Bogalusa in Washington Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It has a four-column Tuscan-style portico. It was designed by New Orleans architect Rathbone Debuys and built by contractor E. N. Moore.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "a handsome example of an early twentieth century town hall of the then predominant Classical mode. The elegant Renaissance Revival building, with its five-part composition, and axial, almost Palladian plan, represents a greater degree of high style sophistication than is achieved in any other building in Bogalusa, or most other town halls in southeastern Louisiana. The City Hall&#39;s significance in the area of politics/government rests upon its status as the seat of municipal government since 1917."</p><br>
<p>Bogalusa became a city in 1914; before this building was constructed its City Council met in the offices of the Great Southern Lumber Company.</p><br>
<p>Copper Ledges and Chimney Crest are a pair of luxurious mansion estates on Founders Drive in Bristol, Connecticut. They were built in 1924 and 1930 for brothers Fuller and Harry Barnes, owners of the locally prominent Wallace Barnes Company, later American Spring. Both are major works by regionally prominent architects, and the pair were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Chimney Crest is in private ownership; Copper Ledges is in private ownership.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Barnes family compound is located on the northeast side of Bristols Federal Hill area, its most fashionable residential area of the early 20th century. Chimney Crest, a large Tudor mansion house stands at the southeast corner of Founders Drive and Woodland Street. Copper Ledges, a large Colonial Revival mansion, stands at the bend in Founders Drive just east of Bradley Street. The estate property, originally 14 acre, has been subdivided for development, and now only 5.5 acre remain associated with these two houses. Outbuildings of the compound include a guest house and log cabin, both on the east side of Founders Drive, and a loggia at the southern end of Copper Ledgess formal gardens.</p><br>
<p>Fuller Barnes and Henry Barnes were the grandsons of Wallace Barnes, who began manufacturing springs for clocks in the 1860s. The brothers greatly expanded the business, transforming it into the Associated Spring Company. Fuller Barnes acquired this estate property in 1920, and Copper Ledges was built for him in 1924. It was designed by Harold Hayden, a local architect, and is judged his most significant residential commission. Late in his life he donated it to Bristol Hospital, with the idea that it be used as a convalescent home. This idea proved unworkable, and the estate was from 1960 to 1970 home to the Laurel Crest Academy, which built ancillary buildings on Bradley Street, and also rented Chimney Crest. Chimney Crest was built for Henry Barnes in 1930; it was designed by Perry & Bishop, based in New Britain.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Hicks House, in Bogalusa, Louisiana, was the home from 1965 to 1969 of civil rights leader Bob Hicks  and the site of civil rights meetings in the city. The house, built in the early 1950s, is a one-story building with similarities to 1950s ranch houses and 1930s bungalows. It has weatherboard siding and is built on concrete piers.</p><br>
<p>The property also includes a 1906-built "mill house" built by the Great Southern Lumber Company when it developed the company town of Bogalusa from the ground up in 1906–1907.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hicks was a co-founder and leader of the local chapter of the Deacons for Defense and Justice, founded in February 1965 and affiliated with the original group founded in Jonesboro, Louisiana. They organized men for armed self-defense in order to protect civil rights activists and their families, under attack in those years by the Ku Klux Klan. He was also a leader of the Bogalusa Civic and Voters League (BCVL), which was seeking to register black voters.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. It was deemed significant for its role in the Civil Rights Movement in Bogalusa and for its association with leader Robert Hicks. The house served as the headquarters for the executive board of the BCVL, and for the Deacons for Defense and Justice.</p><br>
<p>On February 1, 1965, the house was threatened with bombing by whites seeking to intimidate the activists of the BCVL. On February 21, 1965, Hicks and others founded the local chapter of the Deacons for Defense and Justice to protect activists and their families.</p><br>
<p>On May 17, 1965, Hicks participated in an attempt by blacks to use one of Bogalusa&#39;s public parks. Despite passage the previous year of the national Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting segregation of public facilities, local whites continued to exclude blacks from parks and other places. Confrontations continued through the summer and in July 1965, the federal government used Reconstruction-era law to order the local police to protect the civil rights activists.</p><br>
<p>A historic plaque was erected at the house site. The Robert Hicks Foundation is supporting work for a civil rights museum at the site.</p><br>
<h2>Text of the marker</h2><br>
<p>Front:</p><br>
<p>Fueled by discriminatory practices & violent intimidation that permeated his community, threatened his family & friends, Mr. Hicks developed an unquenchable thirst for justice & equality. He "sparked the spirits" of people & communities. His involvement in planning rallies, marches, daily demonstrations, boycotts, organizing armed protection for targets of racially & politically motivated violence, & initiating successful legal challenges helped topple segregation ending "separate but unequal" practices in education, employment, law, government, voting rights, healthcare & housing. As an NAACP member, Treasurer of Prince Hall Masons, President of Bogalusa Chapter of Deacons for Defense and Justice, Pres. of Crown Zellerbachs segregated Union (International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers), and first African American supervisor in the mills box plant, Hicks remained a staunch advocate for justice for all Americans and was an ordinary man with the courage to do extraordinary things.</p><br>
<p>Reverse:</p><br>
<p>On Feb. 1, 1965, learning of a Ku Klux Klan plan to bomb his home, Robert Hicks & his family were told by police that they could not protect them. The Klan was furious that Hicks was housing 2 white civil rights workers and demanded they leave that night. Aware of the danger, Hicks said no to the demand. Hicks & his wife called friends to take their 5 children to a safe place & asked for protection. Armed black men stood guard during the night. On Feb 21, the Jonesboro Deacons for Defense & Justice visited Bogalusa to start a chapter citing the 2nd Amendment and carrying guns with the mission of protection against white aggression. Hicks took the lead starting a Bogalusa chapter. Deacons confrontation with the Klan created history, started a Civil Rights Movement, empowering a people, & propelled the USA Government to enforce The 1964 Civil Rights Act to neutralize the Klan. The Hicks home was the birth & meeting place for Deacons, foot soldiers, lawyers, civil & human rights advocates, and a safe haven for all. Decisions made in this home significantly impacted the future of the community, Louisiana & the nation. Hicks showed courage in defense of justice and equality.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Louis Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district located on North Mill Street, West Saginaw Avenue, and West Center Avenue in Saint Louis, Michigan It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The district is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, and is still the commercial center of Saint Louis.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Saint Louis was founded in 1853. Lumbering was the first industry in the area, and the town grew quickly, with 140 residents by 1865 and 477 in 1868. In 1869, a nearby mineral springs was tapped, which quickly became a popular tourist destination. The first substantial building in the downtown area was constructed that year, and in 1870 there was a building boom in anticipation of tourists visiting the springs. The Saginaw Valley & St. Louis Railroad was constructed to the village in 1871, and Saint Louis grew in population and size in the 1870s and 1880s, mainly due to the steady stream of visitor to the mineral baths. In 1881, a new ordinance required all new building construction downtown to be of brick. In 1891, the village was incorporated as a city, and by 1900 it had nearly 2,000 residents.</p><br>
<p>After the turn of the century, more businesses and industry moved into the city, complementing the tourism business and the surrounding agriculture. In the 1950s and 1960s many of the downtown business buildings were modernized. Some of the buildings were demolished, or succumbed to fire, in the 1960s and 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Louis Downtown Historic District includes 36 buildings in the city&#39;s central business district, 27 of which contribute to the historic nature of the district. The buildings were constructed from the 1870s to the 1990s, with most of them dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Most buildings are two-story brick commercial structures, interspersed with one-and three-story buildings, and are situated close together with shared walls. They range in style from Victorian to International style.</p><br>
<p>The most significant buildings in the district include the 1881 Harrington House/Commercial State Bank Block (the only three-story building in the district), the 1908 Colonial Theater Block, and the 1881 Holcomb Opera House Building.</p><br>
<p>The Abraham Coult House is a historic house at 1695 Hebron Avenue in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Built in about 1706 and enlarged several times, it is a well-preserved colonial residence, exhibiting changing construction methods through its alterations. Moved in the 1970s to avoid demolition and restored, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Abrahm Coult House is located in a rural-suburban area of central northern Glastonbury, on the north side of Hebron Road (Connecticut Route 94). It is set well back from the road, down a 1,700 ft drive on over 5 acre of land, overlooking Salmon Brook. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, clapboarded exterior, and concrete block foundation. Its main facade faces southwest, and is five bays wide, with a center entrance framed by Greek Revival pilasters and topped by a multilight transom window and corniced entablature. The interior follows an early colonial central chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule which also has a winding dogleg staircase. There are parlors on either side of the chimney, and the kitchen extends across most of the rear. Original 18th-century woodwork is retained in most of the chambers, but plasterwork and other surfaces have been replaced as part of a 1970s restoration.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in about 1706, when the land it originally stood on (closer to Hebron Street) was purchased by Abraham Coult, Sr. The house was held in the Coult family only until 1739, and had a succession of private owners. By the 1960s, it had come into the hands of the local water supply authority, and was vacant and deteriorated. It was sold in 1972 for $500, on condition that it be moved. This was accomplished despite fire damage caused by vandals during preparations for the move. The move, about 1,500 ft to the northeast of its original location, including moving the in-house portion of the chimney.</p><br>
<p>The Union Depot is a railway station located at 610 Western Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It is now the Muskegon County Convention & Visitor&#39;s Bureau.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1871, the Michigan Lake Shore Railroad was built, connecting Muskegon with Chicago. This railroad was later folded in the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad. In the 1880s, two more rail lines were extended into Muskegon: the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad and the Toledo, Saginaw and Muskegon Railway. However, by the early 1890s, the depot located on Third Street was badly in need of refurbishing. In 1893, all three railways and the city agreed that constructing a new depot would be in the best interests of all parties, particularly with the rise in excursion traffic to local resorts.</p><br>
<p>In 1893, architect Sidney J. Osgood developed plans for this new depot. Architect Amos W. Rush soon took over the project, but actual construction was delayed until 1894 due to the Panic of 1893. The depot was completed and opened in 1895. The depot was taken over by the Pere Marquette Railroad, in 1899. Despite the Union Depot name, by the 1930s, the Toledo, Saginaw and Muskegon Railway (being absorbed by the Grand Trunk Western) trains were by that point using a different station in the city. By 1938, the trains of the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, by then acquired by the Pennsylvania Railroad were moved over to the same station as the Grand Trunk trains. Union Depot was the destination of one of the sections of the Pere Marquette&#39;s Night Express from Chicago.</p><br>
<p>Eventually the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) when C&O absorbed the Pere Marquette Railroad in 1947. However, with the growth of the automobile, passenger railway service declined, and the depot ceased passenger operation in 1971. Freight service continued for two more years, but the building stood vacant from 1978 until the early 1990s, when it was donated to Muskegon County. In 1990, the depot was designated as a Michigan Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The building was restored in 1994 and 1995, and reopened as the Muskegon County Convention & Visitor&#39;s Bureau.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Muskegon Union Depot is a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque railroad station with a connected four-story tower and a massive hipped roof. The walls are constructed from red brick and rock-face sandstone, and the roof eaves flare outward from the main mass of the building. The building is nearly symmetrical, with only a portion of the structure that formerly housed the baggage room extending to one side to break the symmetry. The main entry is through a deep portico formed by a massive sandstone arch. The side elevations have overhanging roofs, creating deep entry porches that approach the platform in the rear of the building. The rear elevation contains a half-hexagonal bay formerly housing the ticket office.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the main waiting room contains a large ornamental brick fireplace with a wood mantel, and the walls contain quarter-sawn oak woodwork and wainscot paneling with egg and dart trim. The ceiling is covered with original pressed metal panels. The original ladies waiting room has been converted into an exhibit space, and the original gentlemens smoking room has also been converted into an exhibit space. The second floor is less than half the size of the first floor, and was originally used as railroad offices and storage. It now contains a large conference room, small restrooms, offices, storage, and a boiler room. The upper floors of the tower are now used only for mechanical systems.</p><br>
<p>The Bogalusa Post Office, also known as USA Post Office, in Bogalusa in Washington Parish, Louisiana, was designed in 1930 and completed in 1931 under supervision of Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is neo-Georgian in style and is notable as one of few surviving monumental buildings in Bogalusa, after historic structures relating to the lumbering Goodyear Company have been lost. It is a two-story brick building with basement. It was remodeled and extended in 1962 by the General Services Administration.</p><br>
<p>The Sullivan House, at 223 S. Border Drive in Bogalusa in Washington Parish, Louisiana was built in c.1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It is a large, generally symmetrical house with a two-and-a-half-story central block flanked by hip-roofed three-story wings. It includes a ballroom and a two-story sun porch. It reflects influences of multiple architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Renaissance Revival, Federal, Classical Revival and Queen Anne styles, but is notable for its departure from the Queen Anne style&#39;s asymmetrical massing typical of many large houses in the region and era.</p><br>
<p>It is built of long leaf yellow pine with clapboard siding on a concrete foundation.</p><br>
<p>It is significant for its association with William Henry Sullivan (1864-1929), "the father of Bogalusa", who built the home for himself. Sullivan served as general manager of the Great Southern Lumber Companys operations in Bogalusa, was responsible for the construction of the town itself in 1907–1908, and served as the towns first mayor until his death. The house was referred to as "Official Quarters" and was the "largest and grandest" of company officials&#39; homes in the "Little Buffalo" or "Buffalotown" section of the town.</p><br>

<p>In the late 19th century, Muskegon was the center of the lumbering trade in Michigan. Muskegon residents such as Charles H. Hackley made a fortune in the trade. Hackley spent much of his money on projects in his hometown, constructing a public library in 1890, a school in 1893, and a public art gallery in 1912. He also built his own house nearby in 1887, the same time his business partner Thomas Hume built his house. Hackley Park, in the center of this district, is a memorial to Charles Hackley. John Torrent, another lumberman, built his house in the area in 1892.</p><br>
<p>As of 2017, the Hackley and Hume houses have been professionally restored. and are open to the public as the "Hackley & Hume Historic Sites". The Torrent House is owned by the Red Cross.</p><br>
<p>The Ansel Road Apartment Buildings Historic District is a historic residential district in the Hough neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. The district consists of eight contributing and one non-contributing multi-family residential buildings built between 1900 and 1949. The area was designated a National Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History of the district</h2><br>
<p>In 1897, Cleveland resident John D. Rockefeller donated about 130 acre of his personal property to the city of Cleveland. This land, which ran on either side of Doan Brook, was named Rockefeller Park, and became one of the city&#39;s premiere parks. Ansel Road was one of the major thoroughfares in the area. It ran along the western heights overlooking the broad Doan Brook valley, and was one of the areas earliest roads. It was paved in 1907, and became a heavily traveled boulevard along Rockefeller Park.</p><br>
<p>With the establishment of Rockefeller Park and its gradual development over the next 30 years, Ansel Road became one of Cleveland&#39;s choicest neighborhoods. Relatively large middle-class and upper-middle-class homes were built on the west side of the street, facing the park. In 1899, the Wade Park Avenue Bridge (designed by prominent Cleveland architect Charles F. Schweinfurth) opened. This bridge carried East Boulevard (later Liberty Boulevard, and still later Wade Park Avenue) over the park, and helped to provide greater accessibility to the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1910 and ending in 1928, several apartment buildings of varying size were built between Talbot Avenue and Wade Avenue. The first of these was the 1910 Overlook, a luxury three-story apartment building with units ranging from three to seven rooms in size. This was followed in 1914 by The Parkcliff, an similarly-sized structure. In 1921, as restrictions on building materials ended with the conclusion of World War I, the first of the two buildings which constituted the much larger Wade Chateau Apartments opened on Wade Park Avenue. This was followed by two large Max Weis-designed apartments (now Regency Square Apartments) around a common court in the middle of the district. Devon Hall followed in 1926 (now the Rockefeller Park Towers), anchoring the south portion of the district. A small infill apartment building, now known as The Lynette, completed construction of this unique district in 1928.</p><br>
<p>Rockefeller Park Towers, 1588 Ansel Road—This six-story apartment building was designed by architect Herbert Bishop Beidler for the Park Hall Improvement Company, and completed in 1926. It was originally known as Devon Hall, a residential hotel for young women. It was later the Evangeline Home, an apartment house for homeless, unwed pregnant, and orphan girls run by the Salvation Army. The building was sold in 1961 to the Alpha Kappa Alpha African American sorority, which used it as a training center.</p><br>
<p>The Parkcliff, 1580 Ansel Road—This luxury three-story apartment building was completed in 1914.</p><br>
<p>The Overlook, 1568 Ansel Road—This luxury three-story apartment building was completed in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Regency Square Apartments, 1560 Ansel Road—This four-story apartment building was completed in 1925. It was designed by architect Max Weis for Mendel Narosny, and cost $250,000. A companion building opened at 1556 Ansel Road in 1927.</p><br>
<p>Linnette Apartments, 1552 Ansel Road—This four-story apartment building was completed in 1928.</p><br>
<p>Wade Park Apartments (non-contributing property), 9500 Wade Park Avenue</p><br>
<p>Wade Chateau Apartments, 9501 Wade Park Avenue—These two four-story apartment buildings were completed in 1921.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Hackley House is a house located at 484 West Webster Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan, USA. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1970,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Henry Hackley was born in Indiana in 1837. He moved to Muskegon in 1856, along with his father Joseph, and began work as a laborer in the local lumber mills. He was soon promoted to foreman, and then became a bookkeeper. In 1859 Charles and Joseph Hackley started their own firm, J.H. Hackley & Company. By 1881 Charles Hackley partnered with Thomas Hume to run the very successful lumbering firm of Hackley and Hume. By this time, Hackley had diversified his business interests, and was the leading financial and industrial presence in Muskegon.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, Hackley began making plans to for his house by purchasing lots on the corner of Webster and Sixth. He immediately sold one and one-half of these lots to his business partner, Thomas Hume, who constructed his own house on these lots. Hackley engaged David S. Hopkins of Grand Rapids to design his house, and the local firm of Kelly Brothers to create the elaborate interior woodwork. The house was completed in 1889.</p><br>
<p>Hackley died in 1905, and the house remained in the family until 1943, when it was donated to the Red Cross. As of 2017, the Hackley and Hume houses have been professionally restored, and are open to the public as the "Hackley & Hume Historic Sites."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hackley House is a large three-story frame Queen Anne house with a three-story tower at the corner and a two-story porch.

These include colonnades, spindles, panels of acanthus leaves, and small figures, all of fine craftsmanship. Ceramic tiles and fabrics are also used to decorate some of the walls. The designs in the decorative elements contain themes covering Byzantine and Cambodian art, Michigan timber, and the brotherhood of man.</p><br>
<p>The Hume House is a house located at 472 West Webster Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Hume (1848-1920) arrived in Muskegon from Ireland in 1870. In 1872, he joined Charles Hackley&#39;s lumber firm as a bookkeeper. In 1881 Charles Hackley and Thomas Hume became partners in the very successful lumbering firm of Hackley and Hume. As the lumber business declined, both Hackley and Hume diversified into other manufacturing and financial interests.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, Hackley purchased a series of lots on the corner of Webster and Sixth. He immediately sold one and one-half of these lots to Thomas Hume, and then constructed his own house on these lots. Hume engaged architect David S. Hopkins (who also designed Hackley&#39;s house) to design his home. It was completed in 1888. The Hume family expanded the house after the turn of the century, adding a library, dining room, and sleeping porch.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Hume lived in this house until his death in 1920. In the early 1950s, the house was sold to a day care center, and in 1971 ownership was transferred to the Hackley Heritage Association. As of 2017, the Hackley and Hume houses have been professionally restored, and are open to the public as the "Hackley & Hume Historic Sites."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hume House is a Queen Anne structure with a gable roof on a cut stone foundation. A porch extends all the way on one side of the house. The elaborate 14-color exterior paint scheme has been reconstructed from the original tones. The main entrance is located at the corner of the structure, and a round turret extends over and just to one side of the entrance. The second floor protrudes slightly over the first floor bay windows. At the rear of the house is a carriage house, which is shared with the next-door Hackley House.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, a vestibule off the main entrance opens into a central parlor. There are six rooms on the first floor, as well as a bathroom and two halls. There are ten rooms on the second floor, as well as a bathroom and two halls.</p><br>
<p>The Amazon Hosiery Mill, also known as the Amazon Knitting Mill, is a former industrial building located at 530-550 West Western Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It now houses the Amazon Apartments. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city of Muskegon was built on the lumber trade. However, in the early 1890s, the lumbering business in the area came to an abrupt halt, with lumber shipments from the area plummeting by over 90%. The Muskegon Chamber of Commerce, alarmed at the economic impact on the area, devised an incentive plan to lure new businesses to the city. The plan included financial help to new companies based on employment, and a free building site if employments gains were realized. In 1895, George W. Powell of the Amazon Hosiery Company of Michigan City, Indiana, agreed to move the company&#39;s factory to Muskegon. A single-story brick building was constructed on Western Avenue to house the factory.</p><br>
<p>However, the company struggled at its new location, and in 1897 lumber barons Charles Hackley and Thomas Hume rescued the company, paying $100,000 to gain controlling interest. They reorganized it as the Amazon Knitting Mill and changed their product line. The company began to prosper, and by 1899 employed 650 people. A new four-story brick addition to the factory was constructed that year.</p><br>
<p>The company continued to flourish during the first part of the twentieth century, and operated well into the Great Depression. However, the onset of World War II siphoned off labor and supplies needed to keep the plant operating, and in 1943 the plant was shut down and the company&#39;s assets sold off. The building stood empty until 1945, when one portion was leased to ACDelco, a division of General Motors. Over the next several decades, a number of different businesses moved in and out of the building. In 1993, plans were drawn up to convert the building into mixed residential and commercial spaces. This project was completed in 2001, and as of 2017 the building houses the Amazon Apartments. The building contains 118 apartments and has 98,000 square feet of retail and office space on the ground floor.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Amazon Hosiery Mill was constructed in two segments. The eastern segment, now apparently demolished, was a single-story, L-shaped building measuring 240 feet in length and 110 feet in width. It had a two-story square tower at the corner.</p><br>
<p>The larger western section is a four-story U-shaped brick structure with a hipped roof, measuring 240 feet by 200 feet, with sections 70 feet wide. The central block of the U features projecting brick pilasters separating rectangular window openings. Two square towers are placed at the corners of the structure. The eastern tower is five stories tall and is topped by a series of rounded arch windows and a hipped shingle roof. The western tower is six stories high and has two bands of round arched windows located on the fourth and sixth stories. The fifth floor of this tower originally housed a clock, now removed.</p><br>
<p>The Newlander Apartments are a historic apartment building in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Originally built as a single-family house in 1901 and expanded via a number of additions, it is notable as a well-preserved example of the small boarding houses and apartment buildings that housed much of Albuquerque&#39;s working-class population in the early 20th century. The building is listed in the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1901 by John Newlander, a carpenter and manager of the Albuquerque Planing Mill Company. The Albuquerque Citizen described it as a "fifteen room residence, two story brick with modern convenience". Newlander built the house himself at a cost of $6,000. It was located in the Atlantic and Pacific Addition, which at the time was the western fringe of the city. By 1916, Newlanders wife Lula had converted the house to a four-unit apartment building. The apartments were typical of the small boarding houses and apartment buildings, mainly converted single-unit dwellings, that served Albuquerques working-class inhabitants in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Multiple additions at the rear of the building gradually increased the number of apartments to 14 by 1946. Between 1932 and 1941, the apartments operated under the name Fifield Apartments. The building continued to function as apartments into the 1990s, although its condition deteriorated. Eventually it was purchased by the city for redevelopment and has since been restored. The property was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1999 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Newlander Apartments are two and a half stories in height with a hip roof, exemplifying the "hipped box" style. The front of the building has a full-width, two-story porch with turned wood supports and balustrades and bracketed cornices. The asphalt-shingled roof is punctuated by four dormers, one on each side. The rear dormer has a shed roof and the other three are gable roofed. The interior has a central hall plan with high ceilings and many original details.</p><br>
<p>The Whitfield Cowles House is a historic house at 118 Spoonville Road in East Granby, Connecticut. Built about 1785, it was home to one of the early innovators in the development of silver plating, and was  still owned by the Cowles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitfield Cowles House is located in a rural-residential area of southern East Granby, on the north side of Spoonville Road just east of its junction with South Main Street (Connecticut Route 187). It is set facing south on a short stub of an abandoned colonial-era roadway, near the southern edge of a mainly wooded 3.75 acre parcel. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, end chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. Its most prominent feature is a two-story Colonial Revival portico, which extends across the center three bays. It has four fluted Doric columns, which rise to a narrow frieze and dentillated cornice. A balcony, partially supported by the central two columns is set under the portico and over the main entrance. The entry is like the portico an early 20th-century alteration, with flanking sidelight windows. The interior follows a central hall plan, with a single-run staircase. The interior decoration is a mix of Colonial Revival and Georgian-Federal late 18th century elements.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1785, probably by Joseph Griswold Jr., who sold the house and 75 acre to Reverend Whitfield Cowles in 1802. Cowles did not receive adequate financial support from his congregation, and eventually turned to other business endeavours to supplement his ministerial pay. He was dismissed from his position over political differences in 1808, and devoted himself entirely to business. With partners, he established a nearly complete textile operation, and also produced carding equipment and other tools. A major initiative of his was the establishment of a wire factory not far from his home. He soon began experimenting with electroplating silver, a pursuit his son William developed after he died. He partnered with silversmiths based in Hartford for the manufacture of silver-plated spoons, eventually expanding to a wide array of domestic silverware. By the mid-1840s Cowles was shipping his products as far off as South Carolina. However, the business was laden with debt, and eventually failed. Some of Cowles&#39; partners and employees went on to more successful development of the technology, leading Connecticut to become a center of silver-plate manufacturing by the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Curtisville Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential area along Naubuc Avenue and Pratt Streets in northwestern Glastonbury, Connecticut. Developed mainly in the 19th century, it illustrates the coexistence of agricultural and industrial pursuits in a single village area, mixing worker housing, former farm properties, and a small mill complex. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Curtisville is located in Glastonbury&#39;s northwest corner, between Main Street to the east and the Connecticut River to the west. It is divided by Salmon Brook, a tributary of the river, and has two nearly discontiguous segments along Pratt Street and Naubuc Avenue north of the brook, and Naubuc Avenue and Parker Terrace to its south. Most of the buildings in the district are residences, dating from the late 18th to early 20th centuries. The largest number were built as worker housing in the 19th century, and are in vernacular forms with Federal and Greek Revival styling. There are some late examples of houses built for area tobacco farmers as well, including an early 20th-century Foursquare house on Pratt Street. Other distinctive houses are an Italianate villa built by a member of the Welles family who operated the mill, and a Gothic Revival cottage built for a mill supervisor. Off Parker Terrace is a small complex with several brick mill buildings, the major ones built around 1870.</p><br>
<p>The Curtisville area was one of the first parts of Glastonbury to be settled by English colonists, who had been using its riverfront meadows since the 17th century. Early land use in the area divided the area into narrow strips fronting on the river, with houses located on the terrace facing what is now Main Street. Salmon Brook was recognized as a source of water power in the colonial period, but its industrial development did not begin until the 1840s, when Oswin Welles began the manufacture of wooden wares and cigars. Brothers Frederick and Joseph Curtis established a major silver plating factory on the south bank of the brook around that time. Their endeavour was underfinanced and failed around 1860. The property was taken over by Thomas Vail, who manufactured rifles and single-shot pistols during the American Civil War. The property returned to silver plating when his business failed after the war ended. Tobacco continued to be a mainstay of agriculture in the area, and there was regular ferry and barge service at a wharf at the end of Pratt Street.</p><br>
<p>The Muskegon Central Fire Station is a building originally constructed to house a fire station, located at 75 W. Walton Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before the construction of this building, Muskegon&#39;s main fire station was located in the City Hall on Jefferson Street for nearly 50 years. In 1929, Muskegon commissioned architect Leo J. Heenan of Pontiac, Michigan to design this building, with the assistance of the local firm of VanderWest and Child. The station was constructed in 1929-30, and opened on October 9, 1930.</p><br>
<p>The fire station was in use from when it opened until 2007, when the city constructed a replacement building. who renovated the building into office space.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Muskegon Central Fire Station is a two-story Art Deco building containing 28,000 square feet of space. It is constructed of blonde colored brick and Indiana limestone, and features five large entrance bays, each 11 feet wide, intended for fire trucks. The bays are separated by brick piers with limestone capitals. Decorative limestone panels are located above each entrance, depicting various fire-fighting symbols. The building has a flat roof, penetrated by a hose tower and chimney.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the walls are finished with enameled brick and the floors with terrazzo. Oak wainscoting is located in some rooms and hallways. When it opened as a fire station, the building was touted as an innovative advance in fire-fighting, with an emphasis on easy access in the interior and flow-through mobility.</p><br>
<p>The Muskegon YMCA Building is a YMCA building located at 297 West Clay Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It has been renovated, and currently houses 297 Clay Condominiums.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A Muskegon chapter of the YMCA first formed in 1890. However, the Panic of 1893 forced the group into insolvency, and it closed in 1897. However, in 1916, a group of civic leaders met with some local young men to re-organize a YMCA chapter. In 1918, the group moved into the city&#39;s old armory, and in 1923 the group moved into the newer and larger armory. In 1925, a fund-raising drive was launched with a goal of raising $70,000 to fund a new YMCA building. Muskegon residents wound up pledging $350,000 in donations.</p><br>
<p>The Muskegon YMCA engaged the architectural firms of Foeller, Schoeber and Stevenson of Green Bay, Wisconsin and Edwin E. Vallentine of Muskegon, who worked cooperatively to design this building. Construction began in 1926, and the building opened in 1927. The building was heavily used, and by 1929, an addition was necessary. To meet the need, the building was mortgaged and a new $30,000 dormitory section was constructed. The onset of the Great Depression damaged the YMCAs ability to repay the loan, but at the same time emphasized the need in the community for the Ys services.</p><br>
<p>The debt was retired in 1941, and the YMCA continued to utilize the building until the late 1970s, when the size of the Clay Avenue facility was no longer adequate. The organization constructed a new facility on the Muskegon waterfront and moved out of this building. The facility remained vacant until 1981, when plans were made to rehabilitate the structure.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Muskegon YMCA Building is a four-story building constructed of blond brick with limestone trim. The building exterior displays a collection of Art Deco styling overlaid with Late Gothic Revival ornamentation. The front facade is seven bays wide with balanced massing and window openings. The main entryway is in the center bay, framed by Gothic-inspired side piers and capped with a limestone block bearing the name of the building. The bays to each side contain rounded arch windows. A molded limestone bandcourse runs across the top of the first floor. The second and third floors are connected visually by limestone bandcourses and brick piers. The fourth floor is separated from the third by a limestone bandcourse.</p><br>
<p>One side of the building also faces the street. This facade is visually tied to the main one through the use of similar rounded arch window assemblies at the first floor level and the use of limestone bandcourses The other side and rear facades are much simpler.</p><br>
<p>Coralville Union Ecclesiastical Church, also known as Coralville Town Hall, is a historic building located in Coralville, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Coralvilles first church was a frame structure built by a Methodist Episcopal congregation. It was destroyed in a fire around 1880. The Coralville Union Ecclesiastical Society was formed to build a new church. The simple brick structure with a gable roof was built about 1885 to serve as a multi-denominational church on the main floor and as a town hall on the lower level. Any orthodox church, which excluded the Unitarians or Universalists, could use the building. and it was used as a school, a meeting house for the Evangelical Free Church, and as the towns administrative center. It was renovated for the later purpose in 1953.</p><br>
<p>After its use as a town hall the building was converted into a museum. The building stood in the way of economic development, and in order to preserve it, the city of Coralville moved it from Second Avenue to Fifth Street in 2014. It now sits across the street from the historic Coralville Public School (1876). Both buildings flank the entrance to a mixed use development known as Old Town.</p><br>
<p>Coralville Public School, also known as the Fifth Street School, is a historic building located in Coralville, Iowa, United States. This two-story brick structure replaced Coralvilles first school building, which was destroyed in a fire. It housed grades one through eight from 1876 to 1949, and it was the towns only school building during that time. It was closed two years later when Coralville schools became a part of the Iowa City Community School District. After its use as a school it has housed a teen center and then for the storage of school equipment. It has subsequently been converted into a museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>There are three cast-iron star clamps in a triangular pattern on the main facade, and three on each side of the structure. Their placement on the building is as much decorative as they are structural.</p><br>
<p>Washington Township Center High School, also known as the Washington Township Community Center, is a historic building located northeast of Amish, Iowa, United States. Built in 1926, this public institution was both a throw-back to the 19th-century and forward-looking at the same time. It was a throwback in that the school was financed and maintained by way of donations and tuition paid by township residents instead of taxes. It was forward-looking in that the rural people of this area recognized the need for education beyond the traditional eight grades. Because of the poor roads in the area and rural peoples distrust of urban areas, where Iowas high schools were generally located at the time, the citizens of Washington Township chose to build a high school across the road from the elementary school. It closed in 1945, and the building continued in use as a polling place. In 1952 it became the meeting place for the local 4-H chapter. A corporation was established in 1960 to maintain the building as a community building for public functions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>H.A. White General Store and House is a historic building located in North Liberty, Iowa, United States. The central portion of the two-story frame building was completed in 1876. At least three additions were built onto the original in subsequent years. It housed the commercial businesses and residence of H.A. White and his family. It was the only commercial enterprise in North Liberty between 1876 and 1889. White served as the local postmaster from 1877 through 1888, and the building housed the post office in those years. Dr. James Polk Von Stein boarded here c. 1879 to 1891 and had his office here as well. After 1903 the building was used only as a residence, and became a rental property by the 1980s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The building is presently used once again for commercial purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Baker Motor Vehicle Company Building, also known as the Baker Electric Building, is a historic commercial building in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Built in 1910, it was the first showroom of the Baker Electric Motor Car Co., a pioneer in Brass Era electric automobiles. Baker Electric merged with Rauch and Lang in 1914, and the building was sold in 1920. It served as an auto dealership, machine shop, and print shop for the next 86 years. The structure underwent a two-year renovation and historic preservation from 2006 and 2008, and now serves as a startup business incubator.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History of the site</h2><br>
<p>The site that would become the Baker Motor Vehicle Company showroom was originally a residence. From the 1860s to the 1920s, Euclid Avenue in Cleveland was known around the world as "Millionaires Row" for the extensive number of mansions and fine homes that lined the street. The lot at 7100 Euclid Avenue had a Euclid frontage of 150 ft and an East 71st Street frontage of 450 ft. The site had a slight hill on its south end, and Giddings Brook wound around the hill on the west before crossing the propertys northern third and heading east. The hill was occupied by a two-story wooden frame house, painted white. The home had a three-story tower and a sharply gabled roof. An extensive front lawn, covered with winding walks and trees, occupied several hundred feet in front of the house. The banks of Giddings Stream were reinforced with stone on both sides. A walled pond, roughly 80 by and with a 10 ft island in the center, was adjacent to the property&#39;s eastern border. The house and property were owned by Alonzo F. Winslow, who began managing the American House hotel in Cleveland in 1852. He invented the Winslow corrugated roof iron for railroad freight cars and the Winslow stove for use in railroad passenger cars, which made him a wealthy man. He was a member of the Cleveland City Council from 1857 to 1858, and was elected Cuyahoga County Sheriff in sheriff in 1874. He died in 1908.</p><br>
<h2>About the building</h2><br>
<p>In early 1909, the Winslow House was sold to the Baker Electric Motor Car Co. and demolished. The structure was designed by local architect Frank B. Meade The building faced Euclid Avenue, and was 160 ft wide and 200 ft long, and set 50 ft back from the street. Between the street and the building was a grass lawn, and a red quarry tile terrace in front of the entrances. Over the two front entrances was a copper canopy.</p><br>
<p>The building itself was two stories high, with square Mission Revival towers on the northeast and northwest corners. and large headers framed the windows.</p><br>
<p>The front part of the building housed the showroom and the offices. The showroom was 96 ft wide and 36 ft deep, and large plate glass windows looked out onto the street. Rohrheimer-Brooks, Clevelands top interior design studio, designed and decorated the showrooms and associated spaces. These included a public office, large and small private office, womens toilet and anteroom, mens toilet, and separate mens and women&#39;s reception areas. The showroom and offices were paneled in oak stained silver-grey, although the two end walls were painted grey smooth plaster. The ceiling was open beam, and decorative crests were carved into each oak wall panel. Large lighting fixtures with Frink reflectors hung from the showroom ceiling, and the floor was covered in ceramic tile in a checked pattern with an intricate border. The reception rooms were painted with a silver-grey paint to harmonize with the showroom, and the furniture, light fixtures, and most other fittings were finished to look like silver.</p><br>
<p>Garages and repair shops occupied the rear of the building. On the east and south sides were repair bays, and on the south a paint and upholstery shop. Directly behind the showroom and northwest reception space was a 120 by two bay garage for the servicing of electric cars. It had a separate entrance and exit on E. 71st Street, a car wash station, and a turntable. The floor was concrete, and the roof pierced by skylights. The electric garage had 60 charging stations, and the capacity to hold 80 cars in four tiers of elevated racks. Behind the electric garage was a 70 by one bay garage for the servicing of gasoline-powered cars. It had a single entrance/exit on E. 71st Street, a car wash station, and two turntables. The floor was concreted, and the roof pierce by skylights. A small elevator pierced the floor and led to a 50 by battery room in the basement. The gasoline garage had the capacity to hold 30 cars in four tiers of elevated racks. The small repair bays to the east of the two garages were for electric and gasoline cars, respectively. Between them was a tire room and a small oil storage room. On the south wall were the small upholstery shop and the larger paint shop.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor above the showroom were several small apartments. A 60-car parking lot existed in back of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Baker Electric Motor Car Co. building was first occupied on May 2, 1910. The showroom was utilized by both Baker Electric and Standard Automobile Co. salesmen.</p><br>
<p>Industry magazines called the building a "model" for other dealerships, and the electric car garage was considered the finest in the nation.</p><br>
<h2>Subsequent history</h2><br>
<p>Faced with significant competition from the gasoline-powered automobile and declining sales of electric cars, Baker Electric merged with the Rauch & Lang Carriage Company in 1916. Production of electric passenger vehicles ceased in 1919.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, the building was sold to the A.L. Englander Motor Co., which used to showroom to sell Hupp Motor Cars and, later, Pontiacs and Buicks. Englander closed its doors in March 1942, and the building was sold to the A.W. Hecker Co., which used it as a machine shop. Hecker bricked up nearly all the large windows of the former showroom, covered the oak paneling with drywall, and laid asphalt floor tiles over the ceramic flooring. The company also installed a dropped ceiling that covered the skylights in the garages and the original lighting in the showroom.</p><br>
<p>The building was purchased by the newly formed GCC Corp. for $100,000 ($ in dollars) in July 1966 for use as a print shop. The building was renovated from 1980 to 1985 at a cost of $100,000 ($ in dollars). GCC&#39;s parent company closed the print business in 2000, leaving the building empty. Creeping ivy covered the building.</p><br>
<h3>2006-2008 remodeling</h3><br>
<p>Cleveland developer Dick Pace considered purchasing the Baker building in 2002, but passed. By 2006, however, the HealthLine bus rapid transit project was under construction along Euclid Avenue, and the Cleveland Clinic was beginning to rapidly expand. Pace purchased the still-empty structure for $780,000 ($ in dollars.</p><br>
<p>Over the next two years, Pace spent $7 million ($ in dollars transforming the building into laboratory, light industry, and office space for startup companies. The showroom windows were unbricked, the dropped ceiling and drywall removed, and the original ceramic floor restored.</p><br>
<p>The extensive renovations included making the building LEED Silver certified. To achieve this level of certification, extensive amounts of reclaimed building materials were used, all removed materials were repurposed, and a geothermal heat pump installed to help heat and cool the building. Because air conditioning systems were needed for each building tenant, multiple rooftop air conditioning units were required. To meet LEED Silver standards, 28,476 ft&sup2; of modified bitumen membrane and 8,500 ft&sup2; of EPDM rubber were removed from the roof and replaced with 0.5 in high-density wood panels with a high R-value. On top of this were 3 in of soy polyurethane foam; a base, intermediate, and top coat of silicone coating (each 0.001 in thick); and a silicone sealant. The high R-value of the roof allowed significant downsizing of the air conditioning and other HVAC equipment.</p><br>
<p>By 2009, the Baker Motor Vehicle Building was 70 percent occupied.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, the city of Cleveland installed one of the first public electric vehicle recharging stations at the Baker Motor Vehicle Building—bringing electric automobile charging back to the building 90 years after it was removed.</p><br>
<p>The Navigation Structures at White Lake Harbor area set of piers protecting the channel connecting Lake Michigan and White Lake, located at the end of Lau Road near Whitehall, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A number of sawmills were established in the White Lake area between 1836 and 1850. Lumber from these mills was rafted through the narrow natural channel between White Lake and Lake Michigan before being loaded on ships. This was a time-consuming process, and the local lumbermen lobbied for an improved waterway. In 1866, an improvement program was funded by Congress. After surveying the area, the construction of a new harbor and channel was proposed. Work on this project commenced in 1867, and by late 1868 the channel was cut and revetments on both sides were in place. Piers extending out into Lake Michigan were gradually extended over the next five years. However, by 1873 it was determined that the original pier design was too short, creating a shoaling hazard, and both piers were extended.</p><br>
<p>In 1875 a lighthouse was constructed along the channel, and in 1887 a life saving station was added. In 1900-01 both piers were again extended, and in 1907 the entire channel and harbor dredged to a deeper depth. A few years later, shipping traffic through White Lake declined considerably, and the Army Corps of Engineers recommended the abandonment of the harbor. However, maintenance continued, with annual dredging, and, in 1936-37, the replacement of the superstructures of both piers with concrete. In 1946 the Life Saving Station was sold and subsequently moved, and in 1970 the lighthouse was sold and converted into a local museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>White Lake Harbor is an man-made channel running through strip of land which separates White Lake from Lake Michigan. The associated navigation structures include three elements: the south pier, the north pier, and the revetments. The north and south piers are parallel to each other, and are 200 feet apart, The north pier is 1717 feet long and the south pier is 1953 feet long. The piers are constructed from a series of piles near the shore, and additional cribs at the end. The entire pier has a concrete superstructure. The revetments were originally of timber pile. A double row of sheet piling was added later, and concrete replaced the timber superstructure.</p><br>
<p>The Horatio N. Hovey House is a private house located at 318 Houston Avenue in Muskegon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Horatio N. Hovey was born in 1853 in Oakland County, Michigan. In 1867 the family moved to Muskegon, and Horatio began work in a local grocery store. The next year he began working at the Post Office, where he worked until 1875. That year, using money he had saved, Hovey went into business with Elias W. Merrill, establishing a hardware firm under the name of Merrill and Hovey. In 1881 Hovey partnered with J.B. McCracken to open a sawmill, and the two ran a successful limbering business for the next 18 years.</p><br>
<p>While working at the post office, Hovey Hovey met Nellie Merrill, daughter of then-Postmaster Elias W. Merrill. The two were married in 1874, and eventually had four children. In 1889, the couple built this Queen Anne house for their family. In November 1903, Horatio Hovey merged his lumber operations with those of T.C. Starret, and moved his family to Detroit.</p><br>
<p>Hovey sold his house in 1903, after which it was used as a private residence, then as a home for delinquent boys, a dress shop, a restaurant known as the Houston House Restaurant and Banquet Room, and a ladies&#39; tea room. In 1979, the Hovey House was purchased by Mills Property Management Corporation, and in 1984 the house was restored and converted into office space. In 1998 the house was purchased by Frederick and Ann Bleakley, who opened the Bleakley Law Offices in the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Horatio N. Hovey House is an asymmetrical two-and-one-half story Queen Anne structure with a rough-faced stone foundation. The front facade has a recessed bay containing the main entrance in the center, a gable-roofed bay to the left, and a rounded tower to the right. A wrap-around porch stretches from the entryway around the tower and along the side of the house. A small porch is above the entryway, and the upper portion of the house has decorative Queen Anne elements including wood shingles and decorative wood panels. The elaborate roofline is formed from a combination of jerkin head, conical, gabled, and hipped roofs, as well as additional brackets, finials.</p><br>
<p>On the interior of the house, the first floor contains a wide center hall, around which are two formal parlors, a library / study, stairs, and dining room. A kitchen, pantry, and other service areas are located at the rear. The second floor has another wide hall, seven bedrooms, and a bath. The third floor has four large rooms.</p><br>
<p>The most notable feature of the hone is the fine woodwork throughout the house. The hallways and major public rooms contain wainscotting with carved insets and moldings. The main stairway features a spoked panel braced between turned balusters. Frames around the windows, doors, and fireplace have elaborately detailed and frames, with a molded and carved top rail.</p><br>
<p>The Old State Quarry State Preserve, also known as the North Bend Quarries, Capitol Quarry, Old Capitol Quarry, and the State Quarry, is a historic site located northeast of North Liberty, Iowa, United States. The quarry, originally known as North Bend Quarries, began operations in 1842. It provided limestone for numerous buildings and structures in Iowa City and elsewhere in the state. The list includes the Old Capital , the foundations for Old Brick Church  and the present Iowa State Capitol  in Des Moines. The exact date that the quarry closed is not known, but because there is no evidence of mechanized techniques to remove stone, it is assumed it closed around the turn of the 20th century. There are, however, hand tool marks in the remaining stone. From 1874 to 1911 Samuel Calvin, professor of natural history at the State University of Iowa, used the quarry for both research and instruction in geology and paleontology.</p><br>
<p>The limestone here is made up largely of cemented fragments of brachiopods that lived in a shallow tropical sea that covered this area during the Devonian period. There is also evidence of fish teeth and plates in the lower parts of the channel sequence. The preserve is the type locality for “State Quarry Limestone,” determined by Calvin, and only found in Johnson County, Iowa. The quarry became a historical state preserve in 1969, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The John C. and Augusta  Lewis House is a private house located at 324 S. Mears Avenue in Whitehall, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John C. Lewis was born in Canada in 1837, and moved to the United States in 1855. He finally settled in Whitehall in 1861, working as a day laborer. There he met his wife Augusta Covell, the two were married in 1864. Lewis soon purchased a sawmill, sold it, purchased another, and began investing in timberlands. The couple moved briefly to Waukesha, Wisconsin, then moved back to Whitehall in 1878, when they built this house.</p><br>
<p>The Lewises hired local builder L.L Marble to construct the house; work began in April 1878 and was completed by November. John Lewis lived in the house until his death in 1894. After this, ownership of the house was passed to his wife Augusta, who lived there until her own death in 1928. The Lewises&#39; youngest daughter Florence inherited the house, and she lived there until the early 1940s. In 1944, Florence cold the house to local farmers William and Rose Hildebrandt, who converted the house from a single-family home into a nine-bedroom boarding house the called the Lakeview Rooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1960, a water heater explosion killed the Hildebrandts and damaged the house; their son Carl took over the property and continued to operate the Lakeview Rooms for fifteen more years. In 1976, it was sold to the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, who used it as a community school for the arts, then as lodging for out-of-town actors, and then housing for camp faculty. In 2009, Greg and Debra Hillebrand purchased the house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lewis House is a narrow and deep two-story Late Victorian structure with a roof that includes both gabled and hip-roof areas. The main front section contains three prominent front and side-facing gables. A rounded-corner front entry porch with fluted Tuscan columns is covered by a flat roof. The house is clad with clapboard, and the eaves are supported by brackets at the corners and project widely. The windows are tall and narrow, and have segmental-arch heads and trim with pediment caps and incised detail.</p><br>
<p>Henyon-Kasper-Duffy Barn is a historic building located south of Solon, Iowa, United States. The barn was built for Bradford "Hoss" Henyon in 1876. He owned this farm from 1848 until his death in 1879. He used the barn as a changing station for horses on both the stage route and the mail route on the Old Dubuque Road, which passed in front of the farm. James B. Kasper bought the farm from the Henyons and his son John took over from him. They also housed horses in the barn. Johns son-in-law Charles D Duffy bought the farm from John Kasper, his father in law, and then his son Chuck succeeded him in the operation. Charles Duffy and wife Joyce housed hogs and then began the Newport Valley Shorthorn cattle Charles is well known for.</p><br>
<p>The barn is unusually tall for its time. In order to provide additional stability, it employs two tall canted (leaning) posts along with the more common vertical posts in its construction, which is unusual for a barn of this type. The canted posts support a secondary girt below the principal tie beam instead of the principal beam itself. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Buresh Farm is located west of Solon, Iowa, United States, along the north shore of Lake McBride. Its historic designation includes five frame structures, the farmhouse and four agricultural buildings. All except one of the buildings is thought to have been built around 1894. The house features a gable roof and wide eaves. It has a root cellar beneath it. The barn, granary and wash house all feature board-and-batten construction. The barn has a wide gable roof that slopes to a shed roof on its north elevation. The granary has a saltbox roof. The wash house was originally built as a summer kitchen. Although its construction date is unknown, the hog house appears to be newer than the rest based on its nonconforming shape. While not particularly unique, the farm buildings are largely unaltered and reflect a late 19th-century agricultural operation that is disappearing from Iowa. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Cottage at Rock and Dubuque Streets is a historic building located in Solon, Iowa, United States. It is a good example of applying elements of the Queen Anne style to a small-scale residence. The railroad arrived in Solon in 1870, which allowed the availability of ready made millwork for its construction. It was built sometime after 1870. The 1½-story frame structure has two porches. They feature turned columns, posts, and simple turned gingerbread ornamentation. The cottage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Downtown New Britain is the historic commercial and civic heart of the city of New Britain, Connecticut. It is located in the southern part of the city, anchored by the triangular Central Park and City Hall on the north, and by Franklin Park on the south. The city was one of Connecticut&#39;s industrial powerhouses of the 19th and early 20th centuries, which is reflected in the abundance, style, and quality of the architecture found in the downtown. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>New Britain is an industrial city located about 10 mi southwest of Hartford. Somewhat uniquely among the states industrial cities, it is not located along a major waterway, and developed relatively late (mid-19th century) as an industrial center specialized in precision manufacturing. By the end of the 19th century, it was one of Connecticuts most ethnically diverse and prosperous cities, and its downtown area reflects this. Industrial facilities, at first small family operations in or near the downtown, were eventually located outside the downtown, but near transportation routes (particularly the railroads and horse-drawn trolleys), and its industrial workers, management, and leadership all had a presence there. New Britain was incorporated as a city in 1871.</p><br>
<p>The city&#39;s prosperity continued until after World War II, when shifts in transportation and living patterns led to a decline in the downtown area. It was damaged by several major fires in the early 1940, and construction of the access highways prompted a population exodus in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as razing portions of the downtown area. Since the 1970s, city leaders have sought to revitalize the downtown by repurposing its historic buildings and instituting a complete streets policy.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>Downtown New Britain is located in the south-central portion of the municipal boundaries, on both sides of Connecticut Route 72 and west of Connecticut Route 9, both limited-access roads serving the city. Near its center is City Hall, located in the former Russwin Hotel building on the north side of Central Park, where the citys Soldiers Monument is located. The densest commercial development is located west of City Hall, and extending south on Main Street to Arch and Elm Streets. Arch Street and Franklin Square anchor the southern portion of the downtown area, which has more residential elements, including apartment blocks, and a number of churches, built in the 19th and early 20th centuries to serve a diversity of immigrant groups and religious views.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. James Bell House, also known as the Bell-Williams House, is a historic home located at 1822 E. 89th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Designed by noted local architect George J. Hardway for Dr. James Bell , it was completed in 1901. The home is a prime example of the Cleveland-area reaction at the end of the 19th century against high Victorian architecture, utilizing elements of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture to create a highly individualized, severe style.</p><br>
<p>The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 1986. The home is part of the East 89th Street Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 1988.</p><br>
<h2>About the house</h2><br>
<p>James Richard Bell was a prominent dentist in Cleveland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1900, he commissioned noted local architect George J. Hardway to design a large residence on E. 89th Street in the southeast quadrant of the Hough neighborhood, one of the city&#39;s oldest settled areas and which at that time was inhabited largely by white, middle-class and upper-middle-class residents. The block on which Bell chose to build was built up with a number of large residences over the past 30 years, ranging in style from Italianate to extremely elaborate Queen Anne style. The increasingly elaborate embellishments of Victorian architecture had fallen out of favor with homeowners and architects in northeast Ohio by the late 1890s, and Bell and Hardway agreed on a home that was simple to the point of being severe.</p><br>
<p>The Bell House is largely Richardsonian Romanesque in style. However, it deviates from this style by featuring a contemporary massing and relying on plain exterior walls. The front of the house is roughly square, with an east-facing gable, a single dormer on the south side, and steep roof pitch. The third-floor windows are topped by round stone arches,</p><br>
<p>Bell occupied the home until his death in 1912. The home was bequeathed to his wife, Anna Roeder Bell. She died in 1940, and bequeathed the home to her daughter, Frieda Meriam. Mrs. Meriam died in 1942, and the home was sold to John A. Smith in 1943. By 1947, the home belonged to the Sabo family, and by 1948 the Jaskell family. By 1956, it was owned by Enoch Spence, who sold it by 1961 to Harold C. Scheunemann, who in turn sold it to Raymond Beedlow by 1966.</p><br>
<p>The Hough neighborhood became an overwhelmingly poor African American area by 1960. It became the home of the Martin Luther King Residential Youth House, a residential home for troubled black youth. The ballroom was probably turned into bedrooms about this time. In the early or mid 1970s, the youth house closed, and the Lee Heights Community Church rented the structure for use by The Straight-up Half-Way House, a transitional residence for alcoholics, criminals, and drug addicts.</p><br>
<p>The Berry Foundation sold the house in 1979 to a private owner, Margaret J. Williams.</p><br>
<p>Because it exemplifies the local architectural reaction to the excesses of Victorian architecture, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Arcadia Colored High School was a high school for African-American students in Arcadia, Louisiana, United States. It was originally known as Bienville Parish Training School and was later known as Crawford High School. It eventually was a campus of 10 buildings.</p><br>
<h2>School campus buildings</h2><br>
<p>The Arcadia Colored High School Historic District was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It included four contributing buildings, one of which is somewhat Modern Movement in style, but which are otherwise nondescript architecturally.</p><br>
<p>The four surviving buildings are one-story buildings. The oldest is "Classroom Building A" from about 1942. It has a four-room plan very similar to the Rosenwald Fund&#39;s standard plan for a "Four Teacher Community School to Face East or West", although its windows actually face north and south instead. It is built of concrete blocks on a concrete foundation the a gable roof having deep eaves. "Classroom Building B", built about 1955, was used for business and typing classes. It is a one-story, wood-frame structure with a red brick veneer laid in running bond. The 1951 Classroom and Administration building has "mid-century modern aesthetic is asserted through the horizontality of the design, its flat roof with deep eaves and its clean, sharp lines." The Auditorium-Gymnasium building, built in 1954, was designed by architect C. Scott Yeager.</p><br>
<p>The Burwell Bridge was a historic bridge on the northern edge of Burwell in Garfield County, Nebraska which was built in 1940–41. It was a steel girder bridge that brings Nebraska Highway 11 over the North Loup River. It is also known as the North Loup River Bridge and denoted as NEHBS Number GFOO-13. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, and was delisted in 2019.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by the Nebraska Bureau of Roads & Bridges to replace the previous bridge which had been washed out by floodwaters on June 25, 1939. The bridge is at a 30 degree skew over the river. It has a roadway 24 ft wide. It has three spans with total span length of 110 ft and total bridge length of 290 ft. The center span is 73 ft. It has concrete abutments, wingwalls and spill-through piers. It has a concrete deck over steel stringers. It was built by contractor W.A. Biba Engineering Company of Geneva, Nebraska at cost of $44,763.28, using steel from Omaha Steel Works.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP registration, the bridge was deemed notable as one of "the longest cantilevered beam structures identified in the statewide bridge inventory. It is technologically significant for its representation of long-span beam bridge experimentation conducted by the state engineer&#39;s office in the 1930s."</p><br>
<p>By 2010, however, the bridge appeared to have been replaced by a new reinforced concrete and girder bridge. Uglybridges.com, a website which uses National Bridge Inventory data, reports the bridge was reconstructed in 2007 and now has a 44.0 ft wide roadway, with total deck width 46.9 ft. It has a concrete cast-in-place deck.</p><br>
<p>The Former Wheeler County Courthouse in Bartlett, Nebraska was built in 1918. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It has elements of Mission Revival style, and was in fact the only known courthouse in Nebraska of that style. It has a hipped roof with a broad overhang, which was originally of red tiles. Other elements of Mission Revival style include the building&#39;s "massing, materials, simplicity of form, broad eaves, and long slender pairs of brackets. The brackets adorn pilasters at the corners and also the entrance." Another feature is a Palladian window over the front entrance.</p><br>
<p>The former district courtroom is on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1989, the former courthouse was in use as a museum by the Wheeler County Historical Society "to commemorate county government and pioneer life in Wheeler County." The present courthouse of Wheeler County was built adjacent.</p><br>
<p>The Garfield County Library, also known as the Burwell Carnegie Library, is a historic Carnegie library in Burwell, Nebraska. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>A library for the community of Burwell was a goal of the Burwell Woman&#39;s Literary Club, which was organized with 11 charter members in 1907. Correspondence with Andrew Carnegie and/or the Carnegie Foundation began by 1911; a condition was set that Burwell must create a tax for maintenance of the library, and the Village Board passed such an ordinance in January 1912. The project was supported enthsiasticly by the Burwell Tribune. After delay from lost correspondence or miscommunication, the library plans were approved and a $5,000 grant for construction was authorized.</p><br>
<p>The building is a one-story brick building with a raised basement, designed simply in accordance with preferences of James Bertram, Carnegie&#39;s secretary, who set design standards for the grant program after earlier projects seemed to waste funds on ornamentation. Decoration is achieved by use of cherry red brick being used for corbelling and pseudo-cornices and pseudo-pilasters, contrasting with yellow buff brick which is the main element. It is about 50 x in plan and has 22 windows. The building was built by contractor T.J. Pryor in 1914.</p><br>
<p>The Hub Building in Burwell, Nebraska, also known as the Burwell&#39;s Modern Cash Department Store, was built in 1906. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story building about 50 x in plan with a full basement. Its walls are built of rusticated concrete which appears to be stone. It has a tin Italianate-style cornice and has a parapet inscribed with "1906 / H.J. Coffin".</p><br>
<p>Space in the Hub Building was donated for temporary use by the communitys library, supporting the communitys efforts to obtain funding and construct the Burwell Carnegie Library, completed in 1914.</p><br>
<p>The Winnsboro Commercial Historic District is a 5.2 acre historic district located along Prairie Street in Winnsboro in Franklin Parish, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>When first created, the district comprised a total of 31 structures, mainly one-story brick commercial buildings, of which 20 were considered contributing properties. After a reexamination, the district now comprises 22 contributing properties on a total of 28 buildings.</p><br>
<p>The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 9, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing Properties</h2><br>
<p>The historical district contains a total of 22 contributing properties, built between c.1905 and c.1945:</p><br>

<p>The Antelope County Courthouse, in Neligh in Antelope County, Nebraska, was built in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. As of 1980, it was one of the oldest courthouses still in use in Nebraska.</p><br>
<p>Neligh, founded in 1873, eventually won out over Oakdale, Nebraska as county seat, and county offices were moved to rented buildings in Neligh in 1883. The building was designed by George E. MacDonald of Lincoln, Nebraska, but the plans were found to be incomplete, and Fred Thornton of Neligh completed the drawings. Construction by contractor J. N. Mills started on August 2, 1894 and was completed January 11, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The building is 63 x in plan. It originally had a large clock tower rising to 100 ft in its center, surrounded by four pyramids at each corner. The tower was supported by arched trusses. The tower was removed in 1964, while the pyramids remain. County clerk, treasurer, and other county offices were moved to a separate annex building built in 1966, while the courthouse remained in the original building.</p><br>
<p>The Dalton Gang Hideout and Museum is a tourist attraction in Meade, Kansas. The complex encompasses a home, a museum on the top floor of a barn, and contributing objects. Originally owned by the sister and brother-in-law of the outlaw Dalton Gang brothers, local folklore says the brothers took refuge from the law in their sister&#39;s home. Restoration of the property was done in 1941 by the Works Progress Administration and the National Youth Administration. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Original owners</h2><br>
<p>Eva Dalton, sister of the Dalton Gang brothers, married John N. Whipple on October 25, 1887, in Meade, Kansas. Whipple was the owner of a general store that bore his name. He sold groceries, clothing and a variety of general mercantile items. Whipple paid $400 for the house and property, which he lost to a Sheriff&#39;s sale on November 19, 1892. The new occupants of the house were H. G. Marshall and family. They discovered a small hidden tunnel that led from a closet door beneath the house stairwell, through the basement and to the barn. The Marshall daughter Mrs. Roy Talbott recalled incidents of strangers entering their home through the stairwell closet, after having left their horses in the barn. Entrance to the tunnel was sealed off and plastered over.</p><br>
<h2>Legend</h2><br>
<p>The Dalton brothers were a gang of 19th century robbers who stole from banks and trains. Historian Richard White has made the case that the Daltons were "social bandits&quot that is, outlaws enabled by supporters who either actively helped them evade capture, kept silent about what they knew, or otherwise abetted the criminals. Such social bandits, White wrote, lived openly in communities who accepted them as friends and neighbors.</p><br>
<p>The property being named as the hideout of Eva&#39;s outlaw brothers stems from a local legend that arose in the 20th century, claiming the brothers used it as a place of refuge. The brothers were known to have been in Meade in the years prior to their crime spree that began in 1890. No supporting documentation of their presence in Meade after that date has thus far surfaced.</p><br>
<p>One of the earliest mentions of the legend came from the Wayne Settle family who owned the home in the 1930s, and supposedly had no prior knowledge of the walled-off tunnel. They recounted a visit from a stranger who claimed to have been part of the Dalton Gang, and was able to direct them to the tunnels entrance. When the property was being developed into a tourist attraction in 1940, two individuals provided oral accounts that added to the lore. Local newspaper publisher Frank Fuhr claimed that he had used a telescope to watch the gang members enter, but never exit, the barn. Belle Mackey gave an interview to the local newspaper alleging that she and her husband unknowingly had Emmett Dalton as their ranch guest for two days in 1892, without asking his name or any other details. She claimed it was only after seeing Daltons picture in a newspaper over a year later, that she believed he had been their visitor.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration and new construction</h2><br>
<p>The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was a government jobs creation program during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, that included historic preservation, programs in the arts, and building or improving infrastructure such as parks. The National Youth Administration (NYA) came under the aegis of the WPA and was a jobs creation program for young men and women between the ages of 16 and 25. Kansas: a Guide to the Sunflower State, published in 1939 by the Federal Writer&#39;s Project of the WPA, listed the population of Meade as 1,552, and describes the town as, "... spreads out pleasantly on the prairie. It differs from most western Kansas towns in that it has many trees, shrubs and green lawns, made possible by an abundant supply of artesian water."</p><br>
<p>The Dalton Gang museum and park, composed of the Whipple property, was opened to the public in July 1940, having been purchased by the Meade Chamber of Commerce. The original hinged front door, with its small porch and front stoop remains intact but is no longer used as the entrance. Visitors must first enter the barn to access the 4-room house through the tunnel.</p><br>
<p>The 2-story barn with its secret tunnel was reconstructed by the WPA in 1941, with the second floor housing the museum that had been originally operated out of the Whipple home by Ruth and Walter Dingess. Although the barn has a wooden shingle roof and a wood frame on both floors, and metal bars on the ground-floor windows, the foundation is of concrete. Gypsum was hauled in from Clark County to construct the basement walls. The 96-foot tunnel is only 32 inches wide and 80 inches high, and was constructed by both the WPA and NYA, also in 1941. Additional objects contributing to the NRHP listing that were built in 1941, are the wishing well, outdoor stove and the stone wall around the property.</p><br>
<h2>Later development NRHP listing</h2><br>
<p>Dad&#39;s Country Store was erected in 1951 and is considered a contributing property to the NRHP listing. A commemorative bell with a plaque honoring the contributions of Walter Dingle was installed in the yard in 1959. The Heritage House was donated and moved to the park in 1969. The property was listed on the NRHP in Meade County, Kansas on January 7, 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Bray-Barron House is a historic house in Eufaula, Alabama, United States. It was built prior to 1850 for Nathan Bray, who went on to serve in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865 alongside his three brothers. The house remained in the family until 1963.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime before 1850 by former New Englander and later Confederate Army arms receipt manager Nathan Bray. The house was occupied by Bray family members until 1963, when the last surviving member, Katie Bray, died. The house was then donated to the Presbyterian Church of Eufaula, and, in 1964, was sold to A.M. Rudderman. Rudderman sold the property to Ralph Pyburn the same year and was sold again the following year to N.G. Barron and his wife, Ruby Hutton Barron.</p><br>
<p>The Kiels-McNab House is a historic house located on west Washington Street in Eufaula, Alabama, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It was originally built as a Greek Revival-style cottage of frame and brick construction for Elias M. Kiels in about 1840. In the aftermath of the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the cottage was expanded to a proper mansion. In 1880, it was purchased by John McNab, a banker. It remained in the McNab family until 1973.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Carson Place, also known as the Cox-Mayfield-Sutley House, is a historic mansion in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was first built in 1822-1825 for George Cox. Its construction was extended by John J. Webster in 1827 for his widow, Mary Cox. She extended it again in 1835 and lived in the house with her second husband and her son until 1869. It was subsequently inherited by her daughter-in-law, Sarah Cox, and it became known as The Old Carson Place. From 1923 to 1962, it belonged to Judge J. J. Mayfield. By the 1970s, it belonged to Lawrence P. Sutley.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 7, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Guild-Verner House is a historic mansion in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built for Dr. James Guild, a surgeon, in 1822. In 1881, Guild sold it to Henry Snow, who sold it to Dr. Charles Snow. It was inherited by his daughter Julia Penn and her husband, W. G. B. Pearson, who served as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives. In 1911, it was purchased by C. B. Verner, who also served as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives. It was subsequently used as an office and a restaurant, until it became unoccupied.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 4, 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Street House is a historic cottage in Point Clear, Alabama, USA. It was built in 1906 for William Street. The house has remained in the family; by the 1980s, it belonged to H. Vaughn Street III.</p><br>
<p>After his home on the Weeks Bay estuary was destroyed by a hurricane in 1906, farmer William Street moved his wife and children to Point Clear and built their house shortly after.
