<p>The Holland Historic District is a primarily residential historic district in Holland, Michigan. It includes buildings along 11th, 12th, and 13th Streets from roughly Washington Boulevard on the west to College Avenue on the east, along with buildings on 14th Street from Pine Avenue on the west to just past College Avenue on the east, and buildings on 15th Street from Pine Avenue to River Avenue. The original portion of the district, on 11th, 12th, and 13th Streets between Washington Boulevard and Pine Avenue, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The remainder of the district was listed on the Register in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was founded in 1847 by immigrants from The Netherlands led by the Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte. In 1871, a forest fire burned almost the entire city. The Panic of 1873 slowed rebuilding, but by the 1880s the city had been almost entirely reconstructed. This district was gradually rebuilt as the city recovered from the fire and the population surged. By 1890, there were 4000 people living in Holland; by 1900 this figure had almost doubled. The economic and population growth continued well into the twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>During these boom years, the civic and business leaders of the city built houses along West 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Streets. Early residents of the district included:</p><br>

<p>The Arthur Hillyer Ford House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Ford was a Chicago native who worked as an electrical engineer before becoming a college professor. He eventually became professor of electrical engineering at the University of Iowa, and is credited with inventing glare-less automobile headlights. He hired local architect Orville H. Carpenter to design his Mission Revival house. It features a symmetrical composition, wall dormers with scalloped parapets, a quatrefoil window, stuccoed walls, red clay tile roof with wide overhanging eaves, and a full-length front porch with square piers and flattened arches. The American Craftsman influence is found on the interior, especially in the fireplace inglenook. The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Toltec Club  is a building located in downtown El Paso, Texas. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Toltec Club purchased the land for the building on December 12, 1908. The name, "Toltec," meant "man of knowledge."</p><br>
<p>The Toltec Club building was opened in 1910 and cost about $100,000. The architect for the building was John J. Huddart. The grand opening took place on October 14, 1910, with a colorful, "informal" reception, according to the El Paso Herald.</p><br>
<p>Initiation fees for the club were expensive at $100 and club dues cost $50. Important visitors in El Paso were often entertained at the club which had a ballroom and high stakes gambling.</p><br>
<p>The Great Depression affected the club, causing it to close in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The James T. Saban Lookout, also known as the High Park Lookout, is a fire lookout tower located in Bighorn National Forest near Ten Sleep, Wyoming in Washakie County, Wyoming. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The James T. Saban Lookout is a unique fire lookout tower. It is a high roof, fourteen foot (14) by fourteen foot (14) structure made of stone and natural wood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1942 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the lookout was originally named "High Park Lookout". It was built in Bighorn National Forest and the facility is located just south of USA Highway 16 and about 15 miles east of Ten Sleep. James Saban was born in 1901 in Shell, Wyoming. He was enrolled in the Billings Polytechnic Institute for three years. Saban then completed a ninety-day course at the School of Forestry at the University of Montana. His Forest Service career began in 1922 in Bighorn National Park. Passing his Forest Ranger examination in 1923, he then went on to serve in eight different National Forests: Chugach, Selway, Lolo, Flathead, Coeur d’Alene, Medicine Bow, Chippewa, and Wyoming National Forests. He resigned due to poor health and was appointed as a foreman of the Civilian Conservation Corps. In August 1937, he was assigned to Ten Sleep Camp F-35. About three weeks later, the Blackwater Fire was started by a lightning strike. Three days later, a cold front brought gusty winds. As a result, Saban and seven other men were trapped and killed in a draw. The lookout continued to be used to spot forest fires until 1972 when it was replaced by crewed aircraft and went into private ownership. The lookout was renamed for James Torrey Saban in 2015, by order of the Chief of the United States Forest Service.</p><br>
<p>The Emerson Parks House in Ten Sleep, Wyoming is a historic two-story log house built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>It was home of Emerson Parks (1887-1965) and his wife Ina Miller Parks.</p><br>
<p>The house was built using the "butt and pass" method of log construction, a kind of false notching, utilizing D-shaped milled logs presumably from the local Bighorn Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Sylvanus Johnson House, also known as Pinehurst, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Johnson was a Connecticut native who worked in his father&#39;s brickyard before moving to Iowa in 1837. He opened the first brickyard in Iowa City and provided the bricks for many of its oldest buildings, including the Old Capitol. He also provided the bricks for his own house, which is the first in the area to have a mansard roof. Because the floor plan is very similar to the 18th century double-hipped roof houses in his native Connecticut it is very possible they were the inspiration for this house. The Second Empire style, which this house also resembles, would not become popular until after the American Civil War. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The A. W. Pratt House, also known as the Pratt-Soper House, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The A. W. and Fanny Pratt family was among the first settlers in Johnson County. Albert W. Pratt, who had this house built in 1885, was one of their seven children. At the time it was built, this area was outside of the city limits. The two-story brick structure features round arch windows with keystones, double brackets under the eaves, and a broad cornice. The wrap-around porch is believed to have been built around the turn of the 20th century, replacing the original.</p><br>
<p>The Alpenhof Lodge in Teton Village in Teton County, Wyoming is an Alpine style hotel that was built in 1965. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

<p>The Fairfield Avenue Historic District encompasses most of a portion of Fairfield Avenue in southern Hartford, Connecticut. Extending from Trinity College in the north to Cedar Hill Cemetery in the south, the streetscape typifies the city&#39;s development between about 1890 and 1930, a period of growth along the road fueled by the rise of streetcars. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Fairfield Avenue is a historically old road, running generally southerly along a ridge south from downtown Hartford that parallels the general course of the Connecticut River. Until the mid-19th century, it was a rural agricultural area, with an open landscape affording views of the river valley. The view made the area attractive for development, as the city&#39;s growing upper class sought places to build country estates after the American Civil War. George Fairfield, a former executive at the Colt Armory, was one of the first to do so, building a fine Second Empire house here in 1866 that stands at 160 Fairfield Avenue. Fairfield was influential in shaping the later development of the area, and the street was given his name by 1870. Several other high-style homes were built along the avenue, but it was the arrival of streetcar service in 1890 that prompted a greater development push.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by the campus of Trinity College and Hyland Park, and the south by Cedar Hill Cemetery, but excludes the college campus and cemetery. Most of the properties are residential; Hyland Park is the largest exception, and there is one church, the Memorial Baptist Church. It is one of seven buildings in the district credited to builder Newton Clark, its most prolific contributor. Most of the street&#39;s housing was built between then and 1930, and is in styles popular to the period.</p><br>
<p>The Cottonwood Creek Bridge is a bridge in Fallon County, Montana near the town of Ismay, built in 1934. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. From 1926 to 1941, at least 1,242 timber stringer bridges were built in Montana; this is one of very few intact surviving bridges.</p><br>
<p>It was listed as part of a statewide study of timber stringer bridges.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Emil Prahl and Henry Sawtell, both of Miles City, to the standardized plans provided by the Montana Highway Department, a predecessor agency to the Montana Department of Transportation. It is a five-span continuous treated timber stringer bridge which is 95 ft long and 20 ft wide with a roadway width of 19 ft. Its ends are supported by timber abutments and wingwalls braced with wood pilings. The spans are between four sets of treated timber pile bents made of Douglas fir.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel and Emma A. Ranshaw House is a historic building in North Liberty, Iowa, United States. At the time this house was built in 1908, North Liberty was a small and prosperous farming community. The Ranshaws engaged Iowa City architect-builder Bernard Wickham to design and construct this transitional Free Classic subtype of the Queen Anne style. It is characterized by simple classical decorative details that were becoming popular in the early 20th-century, as opposed to the more elaborate elements of the Late Victorian style. It was a typical house that Wickham was building in this area. The 10 acres farmstead on which it was built was surrounded by farm fields just to the west of the town. Suburban development now surrounds the house on its 2 acres lot. In addition to the house, a concrete sidewalk and cistern cap with inlaid glass marbles that are set in geometric and floral patterns is included in the nomination. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The F. X. Rittenmeyer House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Built in the mid-1870s, this two-story brick house is a typical residential building found in Iowa City from this era. While it lacks the elaborate window hoods and broad cornice typically found on these houses, it does include bracketed eaves. There is also a single story kitchen wing off the back of the house. Somewhat unique to this house is the front porch with its geometrically patterned frieze, which is thought to be a later addition. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Jacob Wentz House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Wentz was a German immigrant and a shoemaker by trade. This is one of the few native stone houses in Iowa City, and being two stories, rarer still. It is a fine example of the Greek Revival style, featuring symmetrical</p><br>
<p>openings, dressed stone lintels, and a bracketed entablature. Originally a single family residence, it was converted into apartments and it now houses a retail business, The Haunted Bookshop. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac A. Wetherby House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. This house was built in two parts. The original two story frame section was built in 1854 by Patrick Doyle, an Irish immigrant and teamster. A single story frame addition was built by portrait painter and photographer Isaac Augustus Wetherby in 1860. He had acquired the house from Doyle, who could no longer afford the taxes. Wetherby lived here until 1887 when he sought economic opportunities elsewhere, but probably visited from time to time until his death in 1904. His family continued to reside here until 1948. The house was originally located on Market Street and was moved to this location on Governor in 2008 when a developer threatened to tear it down. It is the only extant building associated with Isaac Wetherby. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Bohumil Shimek House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The two-story, frame, Folk Victorian structure was built sometime around 1890. Its significance is its association with Bohumil Shimek. Initially trained as a civil engineer, he is better known as a naturalist, conservationist, and botany professor at the University of Iowa. He lived here from 1899 until his death in 1937. These dates coincide with his professional career. Shimek contributions include establishing the state park system in Iowa, the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, the American School of Wild Life Protection, and the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. He published over 190 scholarly works, and is credited with the discovery of the origins of the Loess Hills.</p><br>
<p>The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Vogt House, also known as the Vogt-Unash House and the Kurt Vonnegut House, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The two-story, brick structure is a fine example of vernacular Queen Anne architecture. It follows an asymmetrical plan and features a high-pitched hipped roof, a gabled and a round dormer on the south elevation, a two-story gabled-roof pavilion on the east, a two-story polygonal bay with a hipped roof on the west, and a single-story addition on the back. Of particular merit is the wrap-around, latticework porch that has a round pavilion with a conical roof and finial on its southwest corner. There are also two outbuildings: a two-story frame carriage house to the west of the house, and a woodshed to the north of the main house.</p><br>
<p>Author Kurt Vonnegut lived in the house from 1965 to 1967. The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Windrem House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. William Windrem was an Irish immigrant who learned the carpenter&#39;s trade in Ogdensburg, New York. He came to Iowa City in 1842 where he helped construct what is now known as the Old Capitol. Windrem bought this property in 1845, and built this house sometime thereafter. Built into the side of a slope, the rear of the house is 7 ft to 8 ft below ground. The lower floor is constructed of limestone and the second floor is brick. Both floors have a formal entrance flanked by sidelights. The second floor entrance opens onto a wooden veranda. The cornice is located just above the second floor windows. The side gable roof has a chimney at each end. A 1941 renovation substantially changed the arraignment of the interior rooms, and some minor changes to the exterior. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Roland and Marilyn Wehner House is a historic building located north of Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Local architect Roland Wehner designed this house for his own residence. Its architectural influence are the Usonian houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In particular, Wehner was interested in creating a "modular, affordable, and organic design" for his home. This was his first Wrightian design out of college. The Wehner&#39;s bought the 2.33 acres property and moved their mobile home here in 1957. Because they had no children and limited funds, the main living pavilion and carport were completed in 1959. As the family grew the bedroom wing was added in 1964. The house is located on a wooded lot in a rural area. It follows an asymmetrical plan that is centered on the two-story living pavilion. The carport juts out to the northwest, the bedroom wing to the southwest, and the cantilevered deck to the east. Most of the windows face the east and south to take advantage of the sun, and to face away from the highway to the west. The exterior is composed of Anamosa Limestone and California Redwood siding. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Body Block, also known as the Charles Body Block and as the Old Smith Arcade, is a historic mixed-use building located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Payne Avenue and E. 55th Street in the Goodrich–Kirtland Park neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Erected from 1892 to 1893, the Queen Anne style structure was built for Charles Body, owner of a local wallpaper store. It underwent a major renovation from 1994 to 1995, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History of the building</h2><br>
<p>The Body Block began construction in 1892, and was completed in 1893. The building was commissioned and owned by Charles Body, a local businessman who owned a wallpaper store. Although it is not known for certain, the architect was likely George H. Smith, a local architect of note who designed the 1888 Cleveland Arcade.</p><br>
<p>Located at the intersection of Payne Avenue and E. 55th Street in the Goodrich–Kirtland Park neighborhood, The structure was built of brick with a wood frame, with the interior walls coated with asbestos and mineral wool for fireproofing. The building&#39;s ground floor contained space for roughly 10 retail stores, while the upper two floors contained 44 apartments. An arcade ran through the center of the building, lit from above by a skylight with 0.25 in glass. Walkways connected the two sides of the building on the second floor. The total cost of the structure was $30,000 ($ in dollars).</p><br>
<p>Known as the Body Block and as the Charles Body Block, the building was also referred to as the "Old Smith Arcade" due to its resemblance to Smiths Cleveland Arcade. and the Body Block was constructed in the middle of the 20-year period that marked the neighborhoods swiftest growth and height (in terms of population). Located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, it catered to middle class individuals and families and made a significant contribution to the retail and residential life of the area.</p><br>
<p>The Body Block suffered a severe fire on January 30, 1897, when chemicals in the basement of a ground-floor pharmacy spontaneously combusted. The major three-alarm fire caused $4,000 ($ in dollars) in damages, but no one was injured or killed.</p><br>
<p>The Goodrich–Kirtland Park area began to lose housing after 1920 as it increasingly industrialized. The Body Block lost its middle-class respectability, and became home to less wealthy working class families and widows. From 1920 to 1950, the areas population stayed roughly steady at about 65,000 people. It was a diverse area which included immigrants from Eastern Europe and Jews, and there was a substantial African American population since landlords in Goodrich-Kirtland Park were among the few in the city who would rent to blacks. The neighborhood was economically well-developed, with several retail shopping districts, movie theaters, and restaurants. After 1950, the neighborhood became overwhelmingly black and poor, as African Americans leaving the Deep South came to Cleveland looking for work during the Second Great Migration. What few residential areas remained in Goodrich–Kirtland Park became heavily overcrowded. The crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s drove large numbers of people out of the neighborhood, and the population fell to just 13,000. as crack moved in, working-class blacks moved farther east, and block after block of homes and businesses were demolished in the name of urban renewal. Several blocks of buildings were abandoned, while others were demolished. Business fled the area, city services such as trash pick-up and street maintenance became irregular, illegal dumping became common, and the police presence was poor. The buildings decline continued into the early 1990s, by which time it was primarily empty and decrepit. Homeless individuals used it as a refuge, and extensive drug trafficking occurred there.</p><br>
<h3>1994-1995 renovation</h3><br>
<p>In 1991, the Nouvelle Espoir Development Corp. purchased the Body Block with the intention of renovating it. The company received a 10-year, $210,000 ($ in dollars) federal low-income housing tax credit in 1992. The following year, the company received a 30-year, $466,000 ($ in dollars) state historic tax credit; a $300,000 ($ in dollars) loan from the Cleveland Housing Trust Fund; a $400,000 ($ in dollars) loan from the Ohio Housing Trust Fund; and a $50,000 ($ in dollars) grant from the Cleveland weatherization fund. In 1994, 11 banks agreed to lend the remaining $1.5 million ($ in dollars) needed for the $2.8 million ($ in dollars) renovation project. The restoration and renovation of the Body Block left it with 49 one- and two-bedroom apartments on the second and third floors, and retail space on the first floor. All units were available for rent only to low-income individuals and families who were participating in employment programs run by the city.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in April 1994, and was set for completion in February 1995. Zelina-Sandvick Architects designed the renovation, which completely overhauled the building&#39;s electrical, heating, and plumbing systems and added a playground to the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>In April 2017, the building was purchased by real estate company, the latter of which has its headquarters based in Cleveland.</p><br>
<p>The National Farm Workers Association Headquarters in Delano, California, also known as Iglesia Pentecostal La Nueva Jerusalem, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>It is significant for its historic use as a union hall starting on September 26, 1964. It was the starting point of the National Farm Workers Associations protest march starting on March 17, 1966, in Delano and ending on April 10 in Californias capital Sacramento.</p><br>
<p>The building is a one-story wood frame commercial building with stucco exterior, built in 1953 by Henry Morales, with plan dimensions originally about 25 x. A side addition later expanded it to about 37.5 x in plan.</p><br>
<p>In 2015 it was in use as a church.</p><br>
<p>The Charlotte Amalie Historic District in Charlotte Amalie in Saint Thomas, USA Virgin Islands is a 165.3 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The district then included 574 contributing buildings, three contributing structures, and a contributing object.

This is one of several transitional Greek Revival to Italianate houses built in this area in the years before and after the American Civil War making it a very popular style here. Over the years, however, most of them have either been torn down or altered beyond recognition leaving this house as one of few left with its integrity intact. When this house was built in 1870 it was situated on a 38 acres estate, but by the turn of the 20th-century the lot was reduced to its present size. Situated in a residential area with the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics across the street, the two-story frame house features a low pitched gable roof, bracketed eaves, an entablature with dentils and returns, and a wrap-around front porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The First National Bank Building is a historic commercial building at 50-58 State House Square in the heart of downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1899, it is a fine local example of Beaux Arts architecture, and was one of the first of Hartford&#39;s commercial buildings to have a steel frame. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The First National Bank Building is located on the north side of State House Square, facing Hartford Old State House. It is a seven-story masonry structure, its exterior walls faced in brick and stone on a frame of steel columns with reinforcing brick vaulted arches. The principal facade is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of Beaux Arts architecture. It is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay. The bottom and top two floors are each treated distinctively, with generally similar surrounds on the windows or doors on each level. The central three bays are grouped in tall openings topped by rounded arches and an elaborate cornice.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Ernest Flagg, a New York City architect, and was completed in 1899. It was built on the site of a portion of the former United States Hotel, said portion having been occupied by the bank prior to its demolition to make way for this building. Flagg, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, designed the building as a large-scale emulation of a classic column: the two bottom levels representing its base, and the top two its capital, with the intervening levels representing its shaft.</p><br>
<p>Bordeaux, also known as Estate Bordeaux, is a historic former sugar plantation located on the West End of Saint Thomas, USA Virgin Islands. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The listing included three contributing buildings and a contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>King Christian V gave the estate to the Brandenburg Company in 1695. The estate was owned by several owners between 1739 and 1854, when it was sold to Rasmus Wilhelm Rasmussen, whose family then sold the estate (though not the Great House) to the V.I. Government in 1955.</p><br>
<p>It is located on a bluff 680 ft above Bordeaux Bay. In 1978 the buildings were in ruins. The former Great House of the plantation, in the West End Quarter, is a two-room building with plastered rubble walls, with a basement and with a porch along its south facade. It originally had a hipped roof which is gone. It has a one-story 20 x addition on the west side, with a corrugated tin roof. Ruins of cisterns and outbuildings are nearby. A former mill building and factory are located some distance away from the great house. By the water is a one-room building 44 x in plan, probably a sugar warehouse, with 22 in rubble and coral block walls.</p><br>
<p>Footguard Hall was the headquarters and armory of the First Company Governors Footguard of the state Connecticut, a ceremonial military company founded in 1771 and originally tasked with protecting the governor and state legislature. The hall is located at 159 High Street, in Hartford, Connecticut, in a Romanesque Revival brick building built in 1888. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 in recognition of the organizations history and its distinctive architecture. The First Company Governors Footguard now uses the Governor William A. ONeill State Armory at 360 Broad Street, Hartford, Connecticut.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Footguard Hall is located at the northwestern corner of downtown Hartford, at the northwest corner of High Street and Footguard Way. It is a large red brick building trimmed with brownstone, Its front section is two stories in height and capped by a hip roof, with a pyramidally roofed square tower rising near the center of the front facade. On either side of the tower are window bays with banded sash windows, set in rectangular openings on the ground floor and large rounded arches on the second. The main entrance is at the base of the tower, with a projecting round-arch portico providing shelter. A large assembly and drill hall extends to the rear of the front section.</p><br>
<p>The First Company Governors Footguard was established in 1771 by the Connecticut Colony as a formal means of protecting its governor and legislature. Members of the footguard have historically played a role in most of the nations military conflicts, but the role they play is now largely ceremonial. Prior to the construction of this building, the company did not have its own dedicated armory. It was designed by the architectural firm of John C. Mead, a prominent local architect then in his last year of life. The design was likely the work of Melvin Hapgood, who was one of Mead&#39;s principal lieutenants and took over the firm after Mead died.</p><br>
<p>The building was described at the time as the largest meeting hall between Boston and New York City, and has been used for public events.</p><br>
<p>The Cavanaugh-Zetek House  is a historic house located at 704 Reno Street in Iowa City, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Ohio native James Cavanaugh (Cavanagh) was the first owner of the house. He was a farmer who was involved in local politics. His widow Amy died in 1902, and the house was sold to Joseph Zetek.</p><br>
<p>It remained in his family until 1976. This is one of two brick Gothic Revival houses in the city. The 1¼-story, L-shaped structure with a single-story addition on the north side features pointed-arch doorways and tracery windows on the south and west elevations. There is a glass enclosed porch in the middle of the "L".</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 16, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Clark House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. This property was originally part of Plum Grove, the estate of Iowa&#39;s first Territorial Governor, Robert Lucas. This lot was eventually sold to Florence A. Clark in 1870. She was a granddaughter of Governor Lucas, and her husband, Augustus L. Clark, was a direct descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Abraham Clark. Built in 1874, the house is a transitional style from the simplicity of Plum Grove to the richness of the Victorian. The -story brick Italianate has an L-shaped main block and a -story wing off the back. The main block is capped with a hip roof with gable ends and bracketed eaves. It also has a wrap-around porch. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Monte Vista Fire Station is a historic former fire station in the Nob Hill neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1936 using Works Progress Administration funding, it is notable as a well-preserved WPA municipal project and for its significance in the early development of the Nob Hill area. The building served in its original role as a fire station until 1972 and currently houses a restaurant. It is the city&#39;s third oldest surviving fire station after the AT&SF Fire Station, built in 1920, and the old station #2 on the corner of High St. and Silver Ave. opened in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The fire station is listed in the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Albuquerque&#39;s City Architect, Ernst H. Blumenthal, who also designed the Old Albuquerque Municipal Airport Building (1939), which is also NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1930s, Albuquerque was undergoing rapid development along Central Avenue on the high ground east of Downtown, an area then known as the East Mesa. As the city worked to extend municipal services to the new residents, it was able to take advantage of federal funding from New Deal programs for many of its projects. This included a Works Progress Administration grant of $14,300 to build a new fire station. The building was designed by city architect E. H. Blumenthal and was completed in November 1936 after just five months of construction. The total cost of the project was about $24,000.</p><br>
<p>The building served the city as Albuquerque Fire Department Station No. 3 for over thirty years. The station originally housed one pumper truck with a crew of five, but was expanded in 1952 to accommodate a longer ladder truck and a crew of ten. However, by the 1970s the station&#39;s doors were too small for the newest fire engines and its location on traffic-heavy Central Avenue was inconvenient. The city built a new Station No. 3 about four blocks away on Girard Boulevard in 1972 and the old station was sold.</p><br>
<p>During the 1970s and 80s, the building housed a variety of tenants including an art gallery, a church, and a film production studio. In 1985 it was converted to a restaurant and bar called Monte Vista Fire Station, which has remained in operation since. The fire station was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1981 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed by E. H. Blumenthal, the Monte Vista Fire Station is a two-story Pueblo Revival building with a three-story corner tower. The building is constructed from structural clay tile and stuccoed to resemble New Mexico&#39;s traditional adobe buildings with stepped parapets, projecting vigas, and ladders. The tower has staggered windows following the stairs inside and contains a three-story central shaft for drying fire hoses. The building retains its original 14 ft garage doors and wood-framed 6/6 sash windows. A matching addition at the rear of the building was added in 1952 to accommodate larger trucks.</p><br>
<p>The Kirkwood House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was built for the local attorney and businessman Samuel J. Kirkwood who also served as Governor of Iowa, represented Iowa in the United States Senate, and was Secretary of the Interior in the cabinet of President James A. Garfield. The house was built after his second term as governor and remained his home until his death in 1893. His widow remained here until her death in 1923. This was his home during most of his political career and it reflects the "rural and unpretentious style of living" that the Kirkwoods preferred. The house was originally located on a much larger estate, but the rest of it has subsequently been divided into lots and sold. The two-story L-shaped wood-frame structure, which sits further back from the street than other houses on the block, has paired brackets and a roof line cornice as its only ornamentation. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Letovsky-Rohret House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. This simple two-story wood-frame structure largely embodies the Greek Revival style with its side gable roof, entablature window and door heads, boxed cornice and plain frieze, and its pedimented attic vents. The tall windows on the first floor and arched windows on the main door reflect elements of the Italianate style. Built in 1881, the house originally faced Van Buren Street, but it was turned to face Davenport Street in 1919 and placed on the eastern end of its lot so two more house could be built there.</p><br>
<p>The house is associated with two immigrant families. Bonhumil Barta Letovsky, who had the house built, was born in present-day Czech Republic. His father helped found the first Czech language newspaper in the United States, Slovan Amerikansky, in Wisconsin. After they settled in Iowa City they established Iowa&#39;s first Czech newspaper, Slovan Americky. After the family relocated to Cedar Rapids, Iowa with its larger Czech community, the house was bought by Mary H. Rohret in 1891. Her husband Peter was a native of Bavaria and was known for his ax skills. While he worked most of his life as a farmer, Rohret is thought to have helped build the Old Capitol in Iowa City in his youth. He was also involved in local politics. The Rohrets lived here until their respective deaths in 1914 (Peter) and 1918 (Mary). The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices, also known as United States District Courts Building, in Charlotte Amalie in Saint Thomas, USA Virgin Islands, was built in 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It was built for the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt Aktien Gesellschaft and held offices for the Superintendent Counsul and also for the Imperial German Consulate. The German connection was lost when the USA purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark just prior to joining World War I against Germany.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story reinforced concrete building about 82 x in plan, with eight bays on its east and west facades and six on its south facade.</p><br>
<p>Designed by German architect Fritz Klein, it is one of the United States&#39; earlier examples of Modern architecture.</p><br>
<p>In 1978 it housed the USA Immigration and Naturalization Service, the USA Marshal Service, and the USA District Court.</p><br>
<p>The Nicking House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Henry C. Nicking, who was a barber, had this house built in 1854. It is one of the oldest houses in the city, and one of a very few that was constructed using sandstone. The general architectural style is a stripped-down version of the Greek Revival style, but a rear addition gives it a saltbox appearance. It features a symmetrical facade, side gable roof, limestone lintels and window sills, and cornice returns on the front. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Bomante House, also known as the Bomonti House, is a historic home located in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Built in 1905 in the Swiss Chalet Revival, it exemplifies the architectural impact of one of Cleveland&#39;s largest immigrant communities.</p><br>
<h2>About the structure</h2><br>
<p>Frederick W. Bomonti was born in Switzerland about 1864. He emigrated to the United States in 1882, and in 1883 joined Loew & Sons Co., a wholesale liquor business. In 1911, he opened a delicatessen in the Cleveland Arcade. It proved so popular that he later enlarged it into a restaurant which became one of the most famous in Cleveland. In 1916, Bomonti became a manager of Loew & Sons. He retired from the restaurant business in 1920 in favor of his son, Werner.</p><br>
<p>Bomonti was nationally known in Swiss American circles. For 10 years, he was national treasurer of the North American Swiss Alliance, a federation of 90 Swiss American benevolent societies.</p><br>
<p>The Bomonti House was built in 1905. The house is in the Swiss Chalet Revival style, as befitted Bomonti&#39;s ethnic heritage. The architect is not known. The state of Ohio was the top destination from 1870 to 1890 for Swiss emigrating to the United States, and Cleveland was one of the top cities in Ohio for Swiss to settle. The Bomonti House exemplifies the type of architecture preferred by this large and important ethnic group in Cleveland.</p><br>
<p>Martha "Fannie" Loew ( Bomonti), Fredericks sister, married into the Loew family and lived with Frederick Bomonti in the house after her husband died. She continued to live there after Frederick Bomontis death in February 1941.</p><br>
<p>The Grey Eagle Village Hall is a multipurpose municipal building in Grey Eagle, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1934 as a federally funded New Deal project to create jobs during the Great Depression. It originally contained local government offices, a fire station, and a community auditorium. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and politics/government. It was nominated for being a superlative example of the public works projects of the Civil Works Administration.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Grey Eagle Village Hall is a rectangular, two-story building measuring about 40 ft wide and 90 ft long. The walls are uncoursed, undressed fieldstone. This contrasts with the smooth, cast concrete trim used for window surrounds, quoins, a belt course, and the projecting main entry. The entry, centrally placed on the south façade, is surmounted by a large panel engraved with the words "Grey Eagle Village Hall" and a 4 ft sculpture of an eagle. Directly above the front doors is a smaller concrete panel inscribed with the word "Welcome". The east and west walls each have six fieldstone pilasters. Windows are narrow and filled with glass brick.</p><br>
<p>A garage door at the northwest corner allowed for storage of Grey Eagle&#39;s firefighting equipment. Later in the 20th century this was augmented with a two-stall cinder block addition. A one-story pump house with fieldstone construction similar to the main building stands just to the northeast.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the auditorium occupies the main space of the upper floor, with an elevated stage at the north end as well as dressing rooms. A wraparound balcony originally provided additional viewing. The elevated stage allowed the necessary height for the fire equipment stall, which is at ground level while the rest of the lower floor is half-sunk. At the time of the building&#39;s National Register nomination, that level contained a meeting room, kitchen, bowling alley, and utility space for a boiler and coal storage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Grey Eagle Village Hall was built as a project of the Civil Works Administration (CWA). This was a temporary agency created just for the winter of 1933–34 to create work for an anticipated surge of unemployed people which the existing New Deal agencies weren&#39;t prepared to handle. The CWA, moreover, distributed funds directly from the federal government, while its sister agencies—namely the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and the Public Works Administration—allocated money to state agencies that decided which projects to accept.</p><br>
<p>The Grey Eagle Village Hall was designed by CWA staff architect Fred Pfeiffer. The use of fieldstone conformed to usual New Deal guidelines: it was inexpensive and available locally, but time-consuming to gather and transport, so the majority of the funds went to the laborers.</p><br>
<p>There were plenty of applicants looking for work in the largely agricultural Todd County, mostly farmers hit hard by a soft market for produce and dairy goods. Construction began in March 1934. The CWA – always intended as a temporary program – was disbanded that same month, but the Grey Eagle project continued without interruption. Laborers were divided into three shifts each working two days a week. The concrete trim was cast on site. The concrete eagle statue topping the entryway not only reflected the town name but happened to be the symbol of the CWA.</p><br>
<p>The CWA covered 90 percent of the costs of the project. This allowed for a building that would have been far beyond the means of local government. In fact the auditorium was very generously proportioned given that Grey Eagles population was under 500. John P. Devaney, chief justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, spoke at the halls dedication ceremony on September 27, 1934.</p><br>
<p>A local memoirist recalled the auditorium being used as a roller rink around the early 1940s. The village hall was Grey Eagle&#39;s primary meeting space until the construction of a new high school with a gymnasium/auditorium around 1960. At the time of its National Register nomination in 1985, the fire department and city offices had recently moved to a new building, and the hall was being used by a local company to manufacture personal flotation devices.</p><br>
<p>The Friedensthal Mission, southwest of Christiansted in Saint Croix, USA Virgin Islands, was partly built by 1830. Also known as Friedensthal Moravian Church, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. In German, Fridensthal means "valley of peace".</p><br>
<p>The mission complex is significant as it was one of the first Moravian missions in the Virgin Islands, and it played a role in preparing slaves for emancipation.</p><br>
<p>The listing included four contributing buildings and two contributing structures on 5 acre.</p><br>
<p>The mission complex includes a manse (built in 1830) which is 46 x in plan, a church (1852), a slave quarter and kitchen, and a 20th-century schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>The Oakes-Wood House, also known as the Grant Wood House, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Nicholas Oakes, who established one of the first brickyards in town, built this house in 1858. The two-story brick Italianate structure features a T-shape floor plan, low gable roof, bracketed eaves, and three brick chimneys.</p><br>
<p>Its most important association is regionalist artist Grant Wood, who lived here from 1936 and until his death in 1942. He restored the house during his ownership. The paintings he completed here include: Portrait of Nan (1938), Haying (1939), New Road (1939), Parson Weems&#39; Fable–Washington Cherry Tree (1939) and Adolescence (1940). He also experimented with lithography and among the prints he created here include: Seedtime and Harvest, January, and December Afternoon. Also on display is a lithograph by James Claussen who was born in Iowa City.About James Claussen, Web site of James Claussen, accessed January 6, 2020</p><br>
<p>Wood taught painting at the University of Iowa&#39;s School of Art while he lived here, and wrote Revolt Against the City in which he stated his beliefs in the value and importance of regionalism in art.</p><br>
<p>The East Granby Historic District encompasses a predominantly rural and agricultural area of the town of East Granby, Connecticut. Extending northward from the town center and covering some two square miles, it includes one of the state&#39;s highest concentrations of surviving 18th and early 19th-century farmsteads, and a relatively little-altered landscape. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of East Granby, originally known as Turkey Hills, was settled in the early 18th century as part of Simsbury, was incorporated as part of Granby in 1786, and was separately incorporated in 1858. Throughout most of its history it has been an agricultural community, although there have been suburban development pressures beginning in the 20th century. Early settlers laid out strips of land along North and South Main Street, on which they lived and farmed, also engaging in other trades. It was a basically subsistence economy until the early 19th century, when more market-oriented agriculture began to take place. The town was bypassed by railroads, and had little industry, resulting in a slow pace of development. The town center has significant modern elements, but retains aspects of its early rural period, which are also part of the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly centered on the town center, extending southward from the Suffield town line to about one mile south of the center. Most of this area is still in agriculture, and the area north of the center has a large concentration of late 18th and early-to-mid-19th century farmsteads. Most of the early farmsteads have either colonial Georgian, or later Federal and Greek Revival styles; later buildings tend to be vernacular, lacking Victorian ornamentation. There are two institutional buildings in the district: the stone Congregational Church, located in the town center, and a school building that was repurposed as a library. Most of the buildings are wood frame; only two houses are brick.</p><br>
<p>The Christiansted Historic District is a 135.9 acre historic district in Christiansted, Saint Croix, Virgin Islands, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It included 253 contributing buildings and two contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>It includes the Christiansted National Historic Site, also listed on the National Register. It includes Renaissance Revival and Danish West Indian vernacular architecture.</p><br>
<p>The town of Christiansted was platted in a grid pattern in 1734 by Frederik Moth, who later was the first Danish</p><br>
<p>governor of St. Croix.</p><br>
<p>Fortsberg, a fortification overlooking Coral Bay in Saint John, USA Virgin Islands also known as Frederiksvaern, was built in 1760. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The preceding fort on the site was seized by slaves in a November 23, 1733, rebellion. The slaves "massacred the garrison and occupied most of the plantations of St. John. The plantation owners fled to Mr. Durlo&#39;s plantation, now Caneel Bay, which was fortified and successfully defended. Two attempts by the Danes to the rebellion were unsuccessful. Finally aid was secured from the Governor of Martinique. Four hundred French soldiers encamped near Fortsberg and the rebellion was suppressed after a campaign of six months."</p><br>
<p>The listing included two contributing structures and one contributing site. The fort is a 120 x structure with high walls and four bastions, built over ruins of an earlier one dating from 1723. Ruins of an unidentified structure are nearby.</p><br>
<p>The second structure is the ruins of a supporting shore battery, about 1,000 ft southeast of the fort. It has a 37 x interior area. As of 1976, five historic cannons survived in the battery, although without their carriages.</p><br>
<p>The fort was occupied by British military in 1801 and during 1807 to 1815, during the Napoleonic Wars.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson–Swisher House and Carriage House, also known as the Old Swisher Place, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Louis H. Jackson, who built the house, was a local attorney until he relocated to Denver, Colorado. Stephen A. Swisher, who lived here for 40 years, started an insurance agency and served as a curator and president of the State Historical Society of Iowa. Both were graduates of the University of Iowa. The house&#39;s primary significance is architectural, and it is said to have "more characteristics of the Gothic Revival than any other house in Iowa City." The steeply pitched cross gable roof is set off by bargeboards with quatrefoil and circular openings. The paired windows of various designs, the window bays, the dormer-like window above the main entrance, and the fluted chimneys lend a picturesque quality. The front porch features tracery ornamentation. The former carriage house, converted into a garage in 1946, is simpler in its ornamentation. It has paired windows on the second floor, and like the main house, there is a gentle flair at the eaves. The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Ernest and Mary Hemingway House, in Ketchum, Idaho, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The National Register does not disclose its location but rather lists it as "Address restricted." The property is the last undeveloped property of its size within the city limits of Ketchum.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1953 for Henry J. "Bob" Topping Jr. It is a two-story, 2,500 ft&sup2; home in Ketchum, west of the Big Wood River. Similar to the Sun Valley Lodge a few miles away, its exterior walls are concrete, poured into rough-sawn forms and then acid-stained to simulate wood. It was sold to Hemingway in 1959 for its asking price of $50,000, and the Hemingways occupied it in November 1959.</p><br>
<p>On the morning of Sunday, July 2, 1961, Hemingway died in the home of a self-inflicted head wound from a shotgun. After a brief funeral four days later, he was buried at the city cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Nature Conservancy acquired ownership in 1986. In May 2017, ownership was transferred to The Community Library in Ketchum, a privately funded public library.</p><br>
<p>According to the Jeanne Rodger Lane Center for Regional History department of The Community Library, Ernest Hemingways final home, and Mary Hemingways home until 1986, is managed by The Community Library Association as a private residence for a Writer-In-Residence program, and the site of ongoing preservation efforts.</p><br>
<p>The Community Library became the custodian of the Hemingway House and Preserve in May 2017, following the 30-year ownership of the House by The Nature Conservancy. The change marked a new approach to the preservation and promotion of the iconic writers legacy in the American West, and by a library whose own history is intertwined with Hemingways.</p><br>
<p>The Community Library honors the House as a contemplative, non-commercial space, and they are prioritizing ongoing preservation efforts and a writer-in-residence program there.</p><br>
<p>The Ketchum, Idaho, house, and its associated 13.9 acres of land alongside the Big Wood River, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the writer and because it is an exquisite example of mid-century architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house is incorporated into a larger historical and literary program that explores Hemingway&#39;s abiding connections to the remote and rugged region, a place he visited for two decades, and the place where he turned to make his final home after his departure from Cuba.</p><br>
<p>Artifacts from the Ernest and Mary Hemingway House and Preserve are being preserved by the Jeanne Rodger Lane Center for Regional History and will be made accessible to the public through periodic displays at the Library and the Wood River Museum of History and Culture, as well as through research requests.</p><br>
<h2>Stewardship of the Hemingway House</h2><br>
<p>Since taking over the management of the house and legacy, the Library undertook a needed series of restoration measures on the exterior and interior in order to protect the 1953 house and its contents. Notable in the infrastructure work done to date are the re-shingling of the roof — from shake back to shingle (with a Class A assembly); the painting of the house exterior trim; partially regrading the original gravel drive; installing a new boiler, and removing several dying trees.</p><br>
<p>Importantly, the preservation measure of replacing eleven picture windows in the living room, bedrooms, and kitchen with UV-protected double-paned glass will ensure the artifacts within the house against UV light damage. This project was made possible by a grant award from the Idaho Heritage Trust. We are pleased and thankful to be able to protect the house collections from the beautiful but harmful rays of sunlight that come through the windows.</p><br>
<h2>The Hemingway Writer-in-Residence Program</h2><br>
<p>"The Writer-in-Residence is a residency program based in Ketchum, Idaho, and managed by The Community Library, custodian of the historic and privately-operated Ernest and Mary Hemingway House and Preserve." The house is private. "The residency program is by invitation only, as we are focused at this time on aligning the residency with the Library&#39;s programs, major initiatives, and community partnerships.</p><br>
<h2>A Writer in New Country: Hemingway in 1939</h2><br>
<p>This exhibit at the Wood River Museum of History and Culture in Ketchum, Idaho, examines who Hemingway was when he arrived in 1939: a writer at his peak, a globetrotter drawn to remote places, a rugged outdoor enthusiast, and a man with complicated personal relationships. Visitors can type their own “One True Sentence” on a vintage typewriter just like Ernest Hemingway used!</p><br>
<p>Rose Hill, also known as the Irish-Goetz House, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was built as a farmhouse in 1849 by Frederick Irish, an early settler in this community. His descendants would own this house until 1964. After he arrived in 1839, Irish built a cabin wherein the commissioners chose the site for the new</p><br>
<p>territorial capital and then the design for the building. Irish remained a prominent citizen in Iowa City who was appointed, along with former Governor Robert Lucas, to a group working to bring the railroad to Iowa City. When he built this house he chose the Greek Revival style, which might reflect his relationship with John F. Rague who designed the Capitol building here. It also reflects the housing styles of his native New York, and is very similar to the "farmhouse elevation" found in Minard Lafevers work, Young Builders General Instructor. The house was listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Schindhelm-Drews House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It is a well preserved example of residential architecture from the 19th century in the Goosetown neighborhood. The original section of the house was built of stone in 1855 by Christian Schindhelm. It was expanded to its present size with frame additions during the ownership of August and Henriette Drews sometime between 1867 and 1899. The 1½-story structure is a combination of vernacular forms and simplified decorative features The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Bethlehem Middle Works Historic District, in King&#39;s Quarter, in Southcentral, in Saint Croix, USA Virgin Islands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is also known as Estate Bethlehem Middle Works and as Bethlehem Middle Works. It is a 34 acre historic district which included 26 contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and four contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>It was the works of a sugar plantation, and it includes remains of an overseers house (c.1820), a windmill, an animal mill site, a steam factory site, site of an original slave village, later workers quarters, a raised cistern, an animal pen, stables, and a greathouse.</p><br>
<p>Greenacre Park is a privately owned, publicly accessible vest-pocket park located on East 51st Street between Second and Third Avenues in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The park, which is owned by the Greenacre Foundation, was a 1971 gift from philanthropist Abby Rockefeller Mauzé, daughter of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and granddaughter of John D Rockefeller.</p><br>
<p>The park was designed by Hideo Sasaki, former chairman of Department of Landscape Architecture at Harvard, in consultation with architect Harmon Goldstone. The 6,360 ft&sup2; park was assembled from three lots, which had previously been occupied by a store, a garage, and part of a synagogue. It features a 25 ft waterfall, a trellis with heat lamps for chilly days, chairs and tables, as well as honey locust trees, azaleas, and pansies, which together attract an average of 700 visitors a day.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, when a planned building would have blocked the park&#39;s sunlight, a campaign was launched to block the construction of the building. The park was analysed in the influential 1980 film and book by William H. Whyte about public places in Manhattan called The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces.</p><br>
<p>In May 2017, a city rezoning plan, which would allow the building of taller buildings nearby the park, caused a controversy when the Greenacre Foundation claimed that the taller buildings would put the park in shadow a great deal of time. A city shadow study indicated that the park would not be adversely affected by the rezoning, but a study commissioned by the Foundation claimed that buildings on six particular sites could put the park completely in the dark; because of this the Foundation called for height limitations on those sites., their "Fight for Light" campaign is supported by the Municipal Art Society, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, New Yorkers for Parks, and Daniel R. Garodnick, the city councilman in whose district the park is located.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District is a neighborhood and historic district located in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. The boundaries of the historic district include Rock Creek Park to the north and west, P Street to the south, and 22nd Street and Florida Avenue to the east. On the southwestern edge of the neighborhood is a stretch of Embassy Row on Massachusetts Avenue. The other neighborhood and historic district that lies to the east of Sheridan-Kalorama is Kalorama Triangle Historic District. The two neighborhoods are divided by Connecticut Avenue. For many years both neighborhoods were geographically connected before the stretch of Connecticut Avenue was installed toward the Taft Bridge. Oftentimes, both neighborhoods are simply called "Kalorama" or "Kalorama Heights".</p><br>
<p>There are two traffic circles in Sheridan-Kalorama: Kalorama Circle and Sheridan Circle. The latter is a park centered on the equestrian statue of General Philip Sheridan. The name "Kalorama" means "fine view" in Greek. There are several parks in Sheridan-Kalorama, including Mitchell Park and the Ukrainian Independence Park. A large number of buildings and sites in the neighborhood are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites (DCIHS). Four of these buildings are National Historic Landmarks and over 600 structures are contributing properties to the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District, which was listed on the NRHP and DCIHS in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The original inhabitants of present-day Sheridan-Kalorama were the Nacotchtank and Mattawoman tribes. During the 17th century, Sheridan-Kalorama was part of a large estate, named Widows Mite. Various portions of the land were sold throughout the years, and a large house built in the area was named Belair. The house was renamed Kalorama by Joel Barlow in the early 19th century. The house was commandeered during the Civil War and caught fire in 1865. Due to a sharp increase of the citys population after the war, people began looking beyond the citys boundary, as Sheridan-Kalorama was part of Washington County, D.C., at the time. Some of the lots during this time were developed for housing, often large homes for wealthy people, intellectuals, and high-ranking government and military officials. The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 moved the citys boundary to its current size, thus Sheridan-Kalorama joined Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>After Connecticut Avenue was extended north of Florida Avenue, streetcars lines were installed on the road, drawing more people to buy or build houses in the surrounding area. Speculative real estate in the neighborhood began in the 1890s, as ornate rowhouses were built along the neighborhood&#39;s main streets. Unlike Kalorama Triangle, which mostly catered to the middle-class, Sheridan-Kalorama catered to the upper-class. The houses in Sheridan-Kalorama were larger and more grand. Some of these rowhouses and the older homes were demolished and replaced with large apartment buildings. One of the most popular architectural styles built in early 20th-century Sheridan-Kalorama was Colonial Revival, although many other styles are represented in the neighborhood. Decatur Circle was renamed Sheridan Circle and large palatial homes were built in the immediate area.</p><br>
<p>During the Great Depression, many of the mansions and ornate rowhouses were sold to foreign governments. This process has continued for decades and the neighborhood is home to dozens of embassies, ambassadorial residences, and other diplomatic buildings. Many of them are located along Embassy Row or on streets near it. By 1993, almost 200 buildings in the neighborhood were used as diplomatic offices or residences. The neighborhood has attracted these nations due to the prestige and quiet suburban-like setting. Six USA presidents have lived in Sheridan-Kalorama, including Barack Obama. Other notable figures who have lived in the neighborhood include justices of the USA Supreme Court, members of Congress, presidential secretaries, and military leaders.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District encompasses the entire 190 acre Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood, located in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. The rough boundaries of the historic district are Rock Creek Park to the north and west, P Street to the south, and 22nd Street and Florida Avenue to the east. The surrounding neighborhoods are also historic districts, Dupont Circle to the south and east, and Kalorama Triangle to the northeast.</p><br>
<p>Massachusetts Avenue, another historic district, bisects the neighborhood from the south to the northwest. The properties along the west side of Massachusetts Avenue abut Rock Creek Park. Like many other neighborhoods outside the original 1791 L&#39;Enfant Plan, some of the roads in Sheridan-Kalorama do not share the same grid pattern.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the major roads marking the boundary, the primary roads in Sheridan-Kalorama are 23rd Street, 24th Street, California Street, Kalorama Road, S Street, and Wyoming Avenue. There is one residential circle, Kalorama Circle, on the northern edge of the district, and Sheridan Circle on the southern edge. There are a few parks in the district, including the largest, Mitchell Park, as well as Robert Emmet Memorial Park, Sheridan Circle park, and the Ukrainian Independence Park.</p><br>
<p>Lots on the southern portion of the historic district tend to be flat, while the land gradually rises the further north one goes in the neighborhood. The highest point is at Mitchell Park and the surrounding lots. The land drops sharply behind the properties on Massachusetts Avenue, Belmont Road, Kalorama Circle, and Kalorama Road, due to the geography of Rock Creek Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>17th and 18th centuries</h3><br>
<p>The area now known as Sheridan-Kalorama was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, the Nacotchtank and Mattawoman. During the 17th century, they came into conflict with white settlers moving to the area. One of the settlers, John Langworth, had been given a 600 acre tract of land in 1663 by Charles II of England. The tract was later called Widow&#39;s Mite and owned by the Anthony Holmead family at some point in the late 18th or early 19th century. The land was located outside the boundaries of the District of Columbia, and was a part of Maryland for many years.</p><br>
<p>Anthony Holmead II emigrated from England to the USA, to take possession of the land his uncle owned. He built two houses, one called Rock Hill located around 23rd and S Streets, where he raised a large family. In 1791, the City of Washington was laid out, but its furthest reach going north was Boundary Street (now Florida Avenue). The neighborhood became part of Washington County, D.C. at that time. Holmead sold his house and a portion of his land in 1794, moving just to the east of his former land. The new owner, Gustavus Scott, called his estate Belair, but overspent while trying to improve the estate. He sold two portion of his land, which soon became the site of a paper mill and grist mill.</p><br>
<h3>19th century</h3><br>
<h4>Early residents</h4><br>
<p>Scott died in 1803 and the next owner of Belair was politician William Augustine Washington, nephew of George Washington. He only owned the land for a few years before selling it to poet Joel Barlow, who renamed the estate Kalorama, which means "fine view" in Greek. Barlow improved the estate and built a second house on the highest portion of his land. The original house was renovated and expanded following the designs of Barlow&#39;s friend, Benjamin Henry Latrobe. Barlow had many influential people visit his estate, including President Thomas Jefferson and inventor Robert Fulton.</p><br>
<p>Barlow died while on a trip to Europe, and his widow, Ruth, continued living in their house with her sister and brother-in-law Colonel George Bomford. After Ruth&#39;s death, the property was passed on to her brother, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Henry Baldwin. Bomford bought the property and some of the surrounding land, owning it until 1846. The next owner of Kalorama, Thomas R. Lovett, purchased the property for his mother. At this time, the Holmeads were still neighbors living on the adjoining property to the east.</p><br>
<p>Kalorama was commandeered by the Union Army during the Civil War and used as a smallpox hospital. This continued until 1865 when a fire destroyed the house. After the war ended, there was a large increase of people moving to Washington, D.C., and with them the need for additional homes and apartments. Between 1865 and 1880, an increasing amount of lots were sold, resulting in the loss of previous vast estates. One of the most prominent residences built during this time was an octagonal house where former Ohio Governor William Bebb lived. The house remained until 1949 when it was demolished.</p><br>
<h4>Development begins</h4><br>
<p>After the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 was passed, Washington County became part of the District of Columbia. Improvements were made to transportation routes and sewer lines were installed north of Boundary Street. Massachusetts Avenue was extended past Boundary Street, before gradually making a sharp turn going northwest along modern-day Embassy Row. Development rapidly occurred in Dupont Circle, and gradually reached farther north to Kalorama Triangle when streetcars were installed along the new portion of Columbia Road and Connecticut Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Even though rowhouses were being constructed at a rapid pace in Dupont Circle, most of Sheridan-Kalorama was still rural, except for the few landowners who had not sold their properties to developers. Land value tripled as development moved north, and most of old Sheridan-Kalorama was platted and divided into lots. Local officials announced in 1886 that a bridge would be built on Massachusetts Avenue crossing Rock Creek. Despite this, houses were not being constructed at the expected pace. Kalorama Triangle grew before Sheridan-Kalorama, thanks to the two streetcar lines commuters could ride.</p><br>
<p>Extending Connecticut Avenue north of Boundary Street to a planned bridge crossing Rock Creek divided Kalorama Triangle from Sheridan-Kalorama, then known as Kalorama Heights. The latter was to be the preferred neighborhood for wealthier residents, while Kalorama Triangle was composed of mostly middle class residents. Although the interior of Sheridan-Kalorama remained undeveloped, except for the lots near the streetcar line on Connecticut Avenue, the lots along Massachusetts Avenue quickly developed with large, elaborate houses.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1890s, speculative housing was constructed in the interior of the neighborhood, along S Street, Wyoming Avenue, Leroy Place, and Bancroft Place. Examples include stand-alone houses on Wyoming Avenue, California Street, and Kalorama Road, built in 1892. One of these houses is now the Embassy of North Macedonia. Typical rowhouses were also built in the 1890s, including ones along 22nd Street, Florida Avenue, Q Street, and R Street.</p><br>
<h3>20th century</h3><br>
<h4>Continued development</h4><br>
<p>Development in the early 20th century permanently changed the character of the neighborhood. Estates spread out over the Sheridan-Kalorama area were purchased, the land plotted, and new suburban-like homes were built. The two neighborhoods partially sharing the same name were divided due to changes in the road layout. By 1900, there were 114 structures in the neighborhood, representing almost 20 percent of houses that remain today. In 1901, a stone bridge was installed carrying Massachusetts Avenue over Rock Creek. That bridge was later replaced in the early 1940&#39;s with the current Charles C. Glover Memorial Bridge.</p><br>
<p>While Kalorama Triangle catered to the middle-class with rowhouses and apartment buildings, Sheridan-Kalorama included apartment buildings, large stand-alone houses, places of worship, schools, and embassies. Land in Sheridan-Kalorama was triple the value of an already built rowhouse in other parts of the city. The palatial homes built along Massachusetts Avenue during the early 20th century set the tone of the neighborhood&#39;s other areas. Ornate, larger rowhouses were built in Sheridan-Kalorama, catered to the upper class, with houses designed by local and national architects. Most of the early households in Sheridan-Kalorama consisted of a husband, wife, children, and one servant, or sometimes more servants depending on the house size. This changed within several years due to large houses being built that required multiple servants. Amongst the people living in the neighborhood were diplomats, members of Congress, lawyers, journalists, and military officers.</p><br>
<p>Several houses built in the 1880s and 1890s were demolished and replaced with grander residences. Some of these buildings torn down were previously owned by noted figures, including Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Speaker of the House of Representatives Champ Clark. Many of the neighborhoods rowhouses located near Connecticut Avenue were demolished and replaced with large apartment buildings. Throughout the neighborhood, new houses were often designed in the Colonial Revival style. Additional architectural styles popular during the neighborhoods growth include Federal, Georgian Revival, Beaux-Arts, Romanesque Revival, and Mediterranean Revival.</p><br>
<p>By this time, Decatur Circle had been renamed Sheridan Circle, in honor of the Civil War hero whose statue stands in the middle of the circle. Thus, the first half of the neighborhood&#39;s name was changed. Sheridan-Kalorama had become a distinct neighborhood, with subtle differences between Dupont Circle, including house sizes, and commercial developments. The only commercial building in Sheridan-Kalorama is 2160-2162 California Street.</p><br>
<p>By 1914, the neighborhood included scores of new houses, representing 45 percent of the extant buildings. The last of the rowhouses typically found in other local neighborhoods, 2224-2238 Decatur Place, were built in 1904. The remaining rowhouses built in the 1900s were much larger and more ornate. A movement to building larger houses or apartment buildings became popular during the early 20th century. During the 1900s, there were seven apartment buildings constructed in the neighborhood. Due to the building sizes, the majority of Sheridan-Kalorama residents lived in apartment buildings by World War I. By 1940, there were 30 apartment buildings in Sheridan-Kalorama. Examples include the first apartment building constructed in the neighborhood, The Highlands, in addition to The Dresden, the St Nicholas, and Windsor Lodge.</p><br>
<p>In addition to residential buildings, there were also schools, including The Field School, the Landon School, the Holton-Arms School, the Potomac School, and the Maret School, all of which have since relocated or closed. Places of worship in the neighborhood that were built in the late 19th century and 20th century include St. Margaret&#39;s Episcopal Church, the Church of the Pilgrims, the Friends Meeting House, the Fazl Mosque and the imposing Islamic Center of Washington.</p><br>
<p>As the 20th century progressed, many of the neighborhoods houses were sold to foreign governments. The British embassy relocated from Dupont Circle to a lot along Massachusetts Avenue, northwest of Sheridan-Kalorama. The first nation to buy a lot for an embassy or ambassadorial residence in Sheridan-Kalorama was France, when it purchased land on S Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets. Up until that time, there were only four embassies in the city, as most countries rented space in existing buildings. Germany purchased land on what is now Mitchell Park, across the street from the French. This made for awkward relations during World War I, which may be why neither country built anything and sold the properties. Other countries though began purchasing the neighborhoods residences. The first purpose-built embassy constructed in the neighborhood was the Embassy of Siam (now Thailand).</p><br>
<p>Development in the 1920s grew dramatically, and by 1929, 74.2 percent of the current buildings had been constructed. The neighborhood became known as a place where wealthy people and intellectuals lived. There was minimal growth during the Great Depression, with some of the last houses along Connecticut Avenue being demolished and replaced with additional apartment buildings. The mansions and grand rowhouses along Massachusetts Avenue were sold to foreign governments. Dozens of the houses throughout the neighborhood were converted into embassies or ambassadorial residences, a trend that continued for several decades. There was an influx of temporary residents during World War II, but the neighborhood kept a suburban feel. The city&#39;s white flight had little effect on Sheridan-Kalorama. Most residents stayed in the neighborhood and housing prices remained stable.</p><br>
<p>The construction of diplomatic buildings, along with the conversion of houses into these buildings, continued into the late 20th century. Most neighborhood citizens did not mind the presence of the embassies, but they were wary of how many other diplomatic offices and cultural centers were buying so many properties. Due to pressure from Sheridan-Kalorama residents in the 1980s, the local government set aside 47 acre for embassies to be built in North Cleveland Park. After four years of attempts to have the neighborhood declared a historic landmark, it was listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites (DCIHS) and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1989. Supporters argued this would help preserve the historic nature of the Sheridan-Kalorama. Even with the landmark designation, by 1993 more than 25 percent of the neighborhood&#39;s 686 buildings were owned by foreign nations.</p><br>
<h3>21st century</h3><br>
<p>During the early 21st century, there was continued development of some embassy buildings. The former apartment building, St. Alban&#39;s, had been purchased by China in the 1970s. It was demolished, except for one historic wall, and replaced with an apartment building for Chinese embassy staff. Sheridan-Kalorama has always been home to wealthy people and prominent officials, including several presidents, with the latest being President Barack Obama, who moved into a large Sheridan-Kalorama house with his family in January 2017. During the first presidency of Donald Trump, his daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, lived in Sheridan-Kalorama. Previous USA presidents that lived in Sheridan-Kalorama include William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.</p><br>

<p>The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company in Miles City in Custer County, Montana was built in 1914. Also known as the Rowland, Thomas & Co. Building, it includes Renaissance Revival. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally occupied by Mountain States Telephone Company, later by the Rowland, Thomas & Co public accounting firm which was acquired by Avitus Group, Inc (the current occupant).</p><br>
<p>The building is a tall two-story building, on a raised basement and with a high parapet with a pressed metal cornice. Its walls are of pressed red brick, and it has rusticated piers made of buff-colored brick.</p><br>
<p>The Mesker Bros. Iron Co. of St. Louis provided the buildings hollow section steel window sashes and its cast-iron stairs, and it may also have provided the buildings entrance canopy and the cornice.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by an unknown architect of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. and was built for $30,000 by C.E. Walker Contracting Co. of Denver, Colorado. C.E. Walker built similar buildings for the company in Lewistown, Montana in 1912, in Helena, Montana (a major addition) in 1926, in Missoula, Montana (a major addition) in 1926–29, all in Renaissance Revival style. It also built buildings in Havre, Montana (in Prairie style) in 1925, in Great Falls, Montana (in Art Deco style) in 1930, and in Billings, Montana (in Collegiate Gothic) in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes a 1931-built garage at the back of the property, which is a second contributing building.</p><br>
<p>The Prescott School at Third and Main in Prescott in Linn County, Kansas, also known as the old Prescott School, was built in 1882–83 with Italianate style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick building, about 55 x in the plan, on a limestone foundation, with 14 in thick walls. The building was wired for electricity in 1924. Its coal-burning stoves were used until 1956 when gas heating was installed. It was modified by the addition of an entry hall in 1949 but that was removed in 1980. It was modified by the relocation and attachment of rural schoolhouses in 1953 and 1958, but those were removed in 1956.</p><br>
<p>As of 1982, a 1924 high school nearby served as an elementary school.</p><br>
<p>The Gratiot House, located about 2 mi south of Shullsburg, Wisconsin is a Georgian-styled limestone house built by Henry Gratiot in 1835. It is the last remaining building of Gratiot Grove, one of the state&#39;s first settlements, a lead-mining outpost begun in Winnebago territory in 1826 on the stage road from Galena to Chicago. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s exterior has been changed only by the c.1890 addition of porches on the south and west sides and later by the addition of a metal raised-seam roof and by the removal of cornice returns. The house is "imposing", standing out from the appearance of small farmhouses in the area. According to its NRHP nomination, it was also deemed significant "as an example of indigenous American building techniques of the nineteenth century. The coursed ashlar on the main facade and almost rubblestone surface on the remaining sides gives a rich texture to its simple form. Through the use of wood splayed lintels to emphasize the windows and doors, the builder showed a desire for originality. The house is the largest limestone residence in Lafayette County and recalls an era when Gratiot*s Grove was a thriving lead-mining settlement."</p><br>
