<p>The Ohio Oil Company Building, at 159 N. Wolcott St. in Casper, Wyoming, was built in 1949. Also known as the Marathon Oil Company Building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>It is a four-story Art Deco light tan brick 141 x building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1948-1949 to serve as regional headquarters for the Ohio Oil Company, which became the Marathon Oil Company in 1962, with design by Arthur G. Hall of the Cleveland architectural firm of Wilbur Watson Associates. The firm was also architect for an expansion of the building in 1955-56.</p><br>
<p>As of 1972, about 500 people were employed at the building, performing "production, geology, land acquisition, engineering, accounting, legal affairs, tax, title and lease records, environmental concerns, safety, office services, and employee relations" functions for an area including 14 states and part of Canada. USA Steel acquired the Marathon Oil Company in 1972 and, in 1986, regional headquarters were transferred to Cody, Wyoming, and eventually the building was closed.</p><br>
<p>It stood vacant for 10 years until it was renovated in 1997 and achieved full occupancy by new tenants in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The building was deemed significant for its association with "the Wyoming oil Industry and its importance to the economic development of the state as a whole and to the City of Casper in particular." And it was also deemed significant for its Art Deco architecture, as it demonstrates "several basic elements of the Art Deco style of architecture, and the exterior is pristine."</p><br>
<p>In 2023, it was one of the 38 places in Natrona County, Wyoming listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Odeon Theater in Tucumcari, New Mexico is a distinctive Art Deco landmark. It is located on South 2nd Street a few blocks from the town&#39;s railroad depot. The theater was built in 1936, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 17, 2007.</p><br>

<p>The Brooklyn Bank Building is a historic bank structure located in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Designed in 1904 prominent Cleveland architect J. Milton Dyer as a home for the Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association, the building exhibits a mix of architectural styles, including Neoclassical and Commercial, typical of Dyer&#39;s eclectic work.</p><br>
<p>The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 19, 1984. It was listed as a contributing property to the Archwood Avenue Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on March 19, 1987. It was listed as a contributing property to the Brooklyn Centre Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on March 4, 1999.</p><br>
<h2>About the building</h2><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association was incorporated on May 25, 1888, in Brooklyn Village (now Brooklyn Centre) near Cleveland, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>In early 1904, the bank commissioned local architect Charles E. Tousley to design a $40,000 ($ in dollars) mixed-use structure to be the banks new headquarters. By April, Tousley had delivered plans for a four-story structure consisting of ground floor retail space and apartments on the upper three floors. Tousleys structure was priced at $50,000 ($ in dollars), and the bank declined to implement his plans and refused to pay him for his work. Tousley sued, and won his case in the Court of Common Pleas. The ruling was overturned by the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals, and the appellate courts ruling affirmed by the Supreme Court of Ohio (Brooklyn Savings & Loan Assn Co. v. Tousley, 35 Ohio Cir. Ct. R. 613; affd Tousley v. Brooklyn Savings & Loan Assn, 89 N.E. 1126, 80 Ohio St. 737).</p><br>
<p>The bank then turned to noted local architect J. Milton Dyer. In August 1904, Dyer finished plans for a two-story mixed-use structure. These met the construction cap, and contracts were let. Contractors working on the building included F. & D. Lindhorst (masonry and terra cotta); J. Callaghan & Son (roof and sheet metal work); Pittsburgh Plate Glass (glass); Roebling Construction Co. (fireproofing); T.H. Brooks & Co. (iron and steel work); W.A. Eckerman Plumbing, Heating & Supply Co. (plumbing and steam heating); and the William Dunbar & Co. (carpentry). Construction was well under way by October, and it was completed by the end of the year. The bank occupied most of the ground floor, with additional space in the building filled by doctor&#39;s offices, lawyers, and realtors.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, Dyer embarked on a remarkably creative and prolific, 11-year period of architectural design that in time gave him a national reputation. He became so well known that Architectural Record devoted an entire article in November 1906 to his work.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Savings and Loan building uses a diverse set of architectural styles. The structure is symmetrical and its elements tend to be regular and repetitive, which are elements of the Neoclassical style. There are deep segmental arches over the second-story windows are Late Victorian, however. The entablature seemingly supported by the piers as well as the brackets supporting the cornice are deliberately crude in order to give the building an individualized appearance. The structure is important to understanding the body of work Dyer created during his most prolific and creative period.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Savings and Loan building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Nelson House on Davis Street in Lake Providence, Louisiana was a historic mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was a Queen Anne-style house with a large and prominent turret, as is typical for large Queen Anne style houses elsewhere but which is somewhat rare in Louisiana, where so-called Queen Anne houses are often modest one- or two-story I-houses with some Queen Anne details. It has an L-shaped plan. It has two semi-octagonal bays in addition to the corner turret, and it has a Colonial Revival-style curving gallery.</p><br>
<p>A garage to the rear of the house was added in the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed along with several other Lake Providence properties and districts that were studied together in the Lake Providence MRA on October 3, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The house is no longer standing. It has disappeared some time between 1980 and 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Old Courthouse Square in Lake Providence, Louisiana, in East Carroll Parish, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-acre public square. On the square is the Old East Carroll Parish Courthouse, a two-story building with a three-story side tower with an oculus, built in 1889. The courthouse is the only Romanesque Revival work in the area. Also on the square and included in the district is the new East Carroll Parish Courthouse, built in 1935. It is relatively low, given it is a three-story building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed along with several other Lake Providence properties and districts that were studied together in the Lake Providence MRA on October 3, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Administration Building, on the south side of University Pl. and the campus green of Eastern New Mexico University, in Portales in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, was built in 1931. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is registered with the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties (SRCP).</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story Collegiate Gothic building with a steep slate roof and pointed pedimented gable ends. It was designed by Lubbock, Texas architect Orville R. Walker. It was built in 1931 and extended in 1936. It was built to serve as an administration building and still did at time of NRHP nomination. It was the first building built on the new Eastern New Mexico University campus; in fact it was completed two years before classes began on the campus. The 1936 work was completed using Works Project Administration funds.</p><br>
<p>Subsequent buildings on the campus were also done in Collegiate Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>The Olive Township District No. 1 School, also known as the Ottawa Station School, is a one-room school located at 11611 Stanton Street in Olive Township, Michigan. It is now a museum operated by the Olive Township Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Olive Township was established in 1857. By 1861, the township had been divided into four school districts, but no school houses had yet been built. At some point over the next five years, a log schoolhouse was constructed for District No. 1, located approximately one mile east of the current location, at what is now the corner of Stanton Street and 108th Avenue. In 1866, work began on this frame schoolhouse to replace the log structure. Construction was completed in 1867.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1870s, a railroad line which soon became the Chicago and Michigan Lake Shore Railroad was built through the township, and stations were established at various points. In 1872, James Sawyer platted a village named Ottawa Station at this location. Although the village was never very substantial, in 1876 the school district purchased the present site of the school and moved the school to its current location.</p><br>
<p>In addition to school functions, the building served as a social center for the surrounding residents. The ladies&#39; aid, ice cream socials, and nearly all other community events were held at the school. In addition, non-denominational church services were held here until the early 1900s. In 1887, a belfry was added to the school, and in 1898, a new front porch. The school district continued to use the school until 1958, when the district was absorbed into the Zeeland public school system.</p><br>
<p>In 1960, the school was sold to a private individual, and in 1994 it was converted to a private residence. In 2011, the schoolhouse was donated to the Olive Township Historical Society, which currently operates it as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Olive Township District No. 1 School is a one-story gable-roof one-room school covered with clapboard, measuring 36 feet by 26 feet. It has an open belfry and a turned-column front porch on the front. The front facade has a double-entry door but no windows. Each side contains five square-head double-hung six-over-six windows, of which three are original and two were added in 1935. A rear garage extension was added to the building in 1994/96 during renovation.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the interior was a single classroom with a maple floor, vertical tongue-and-groove boarding on the walls up to window sill height, and plastered upper walls and ceiling. Small toilet areas were located in one corner. During renovation, much of the interior finishing was retained, including the blackboards and light fixtures. The toilet area was converted to a single bathroom, and a kitchen and bedroom added.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas and Anna Morrissey House was built as a private house, located at 190 West 9th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was first settled by Dutch immigrants who arrived in 1847, led by Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte. Van Raalte platted the "West Addition," where this house is located, in 1867. Although the construction date of this house is not recorded, beginning in 1867, ship&#39;s carpenter Thomas Morrissey and his wife Anna paid taxes on this lot at a rate suggesting that this house existed at the time. However, they did not actually purchase the lot until 1870.</p><br>
<p>The Morriseys sold the house in 1870 to Hermanus Boone, and moved to Saugatuck, Michigan, where Thomas died the following year. Boone likely did not live in the house, but rather rented it out. In 1873 Boone sold the house to David and Hermina Dangremond Bertsch. Bertsch worked at the tannery owned by his brother John and Isaac Cappon, whose own house is nearby. The Bertsches lived in the house until 1880. The house was sold multiple times over the next ten years; later owners included fire insurance agent Hermanus Dangremond and his wife Emma, bookseller/stationer Leendert Kanters and his wife Minnie, Heinrich and Annie Eigner, and Nancy Charter. The Charter family owned the house from 1890 to 1952, renting it out to various tenants.</p><br>
<p>Stephen and Margearet Boneburg purchased the property in 1952, and lived until Margearet Boneburg died in 1996. The city of Holland purchased the house in 1996 with the intent of restoring it to be a historic house museum. The house is now open seasonally from mid-May through September, along with the nearby Isaac Cappon House.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Morrissey House is a one-and-one-half-story balloon frame side-gable hall and parlor house with a lean-to addition in the rear. The house has clapboarded walls, plain corner boards, and raking cornices without returns. The front facade has a center entrance flanked by square-head six-over-six windows with board frames. The original portion of the house measures 24 by 15 feet; the addition nearly doubles the house&#39;s depth. Most of the house is supported by brick piers, but a small section has a dirt-floored cellar underneath.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the original section contains a main room and bedroom. An enclosed staircase access the upper floor. The addition contains a kitchen and pantry.</p><br>
<p>The Ashley Jewish Homesteaders Cemetery is an early 20th century burial site near Ashley, North Dakota. The Russian and Romanian Jews who farmed the area beginning in 1905 arrived as refugees fleeing pogroms and persecution. They had never farmed before, due to restrictions against Jews owning land in their native countries. Despite this lack of experience and the many rocks and boulders that peppered their claims, with the assistance of their German-Russian neighbors, and hard work and persistence, the great majority of them were successful enough to buy their land outright prior to the five-year waiting period contained within the Homestead Act of 1862, or to own their land at the five year mark.</p><br>
<p>Over the course of the next 20 years, these Jewish farmers moved off their farms to carve out their livelihoods. Though many remained as shopkeepers in the smaller towns in the Dakotas, a significant number chose to eventually move closer to larger Jewish educational and social centers.</p><br>
<p>Established in 1913, the cemetery remains as the only physical evidence of the largest Jewish agricultural settlement in North Dakota, South Dakota, or Montana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in 2015, and re-dedicated with explanatory plaques in 2017. It is the only remaining Jewish homesteader cemetery in the Dakotas that has been continually cared for by the descendants of those buried, and the Ashley residents hired by the descendants to maintain the grounds.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Russian and Romanian Jewish immigrants who fled to America to escape pogroms in their home country, began staking homestead claims in McIntosh County, North Dakota in 1905, arriving two decades into the county&#39;s homesteading immigration flux. What they found was a stark landscape of rocky soil and severe weather conditions. They lived either in sod houses, made of earth and grass, or dug out holes in the ground and covered them with manure for protection against the elements. Nevertheless, they persevered, seeing the fruits of their labors in agriculture, livestock and dairy farming.</p><br>
<p>These settlers also maintained their Jewish religion and culture despite living in this remote area. The first Jewish congregation was formed by lay leader Kiva Bender, buried in the cemetery, who also formed the first Jewish farming cooperative in the area. Two rabbis, Rabbi Julius Hess and Rabbi Ostrowsky, later served the Ashley/Wishek and other nearby North Dakota rural areas.</p><br>
<h2>The cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Ashley Jewish Homesteaders Cemetery is located approximately three miles north of the city limits of Ashley, North Dakota. The first burial marked with a monument was that of Lipman Bloom in 1913. The last burial was of Maxine Sally Becker in 1932, about the time the community itself disbanded. The cemetery is the only remaining physical evidence that the community existed.</p><br>
<p>The site contains 22 monuments, with epitaphs inscribed in the Hebrew language and symbols meaningful in the Jewish religion, as well as unmarked graves. Infants were buried in a separate area in accordance with Jewish tradition of the time. According to the National Park Service, Ashley was the largest Jewish agricultural settlement ever in North Dakota, with the largest number of marked graves of Jewish homesteader families in either North or South Dakota.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP and other recognition</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the NRHP in North Dakota on November 17, 2015. North Dakota governor Doug Burgum declared May 21, 2017 "North Dakota Jewish Homesteaders Day", to honor the re-dedication ceremony held by descendants of those buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Oxford Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Oxford, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. This district reflects a typical central business district found in a Midwest town. It represents a transitional period from a frontier town to a settled community, and from the horse as the primary means of transportation to the automobile and mechanized farming. Most of the buildings in Oxfords business district were constructed between 1883 and 1917. Some replaced the wood-frame structures from the towns frontier days, while others replaced those destroyed by a major fire that consumed the north side of the district in 1890. They are one to two stories in height, and their exteriors are composed of common brick. While simple in composition, many feature ornate decorative cornices. The Italianate and Romanesque Revival styles dominate.</p><br>
<p>Oxford began informally in the 1850s by workers who serviced the engines on the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad, which was replaced by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. The town itself was platted in 1868, and it experienced significant growth in the 1870s. Four additions were added to the town in that decade alone.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Portales on Main Street in Portales, New Mexico, which has also been known as Citizens National Bank;Portales News Tribune Building, was built in 1902 or 1903 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story 30 x commercial building.</p><br>
<p>A cafe, Do Drop In, is located at 123 S. Main. The for the Bank of Portales gives "123 Main", which is either incomplete or incorrect.</p><br>
<p>The Midway Service Station at 38797 USA Highway 70 in Kenna in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, was built in 1938. It has also been known as Old Kenna Store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>It is a former Phillips 66 gas station, and it included a drugstore and soda fountain. In 2004 there were stock pens nearby, and the population of Kenna was 14.</p><br>
<p>The service station, built in 1938, consists of two buildings. The main one has a 33 ft girder-supported canopy over gas pump islands. It has a stepped brick parapet above the canopy. As of 2004, it hosted a store area and a leased post office; the latter space was formerly the Kenna Bank & Trust Company and still includes a bank vault with a Mosler Safe Co. safe.</p><br>
<p>The second structure is a car repair garage with two wood and glass roll up doors, which is set back on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Brown Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and its boundaries were increased in 2004. Brown and East Ronalds Streets are both part of the citys original plat when it was laid out as the capitol of the Iowa Territory. They are located on the north edge of the plat. Its significance is derived from the settlement patterns here, the development of a major transportation corridor, the neighborhoods affiliation with the University of Iowa and its growth around the turn of the 20th century, and the architectural styles and forms that are found here from the 1850s to the 1920s. Many of the city&#39;s Bohemian-immigrant population lived here. Businessmen and blue-collar workers lived side by side to each other, as did professors from the University of Iowa. The old Military Road was routed on Brown Street, and after it was paved with bricks in 1907, it became the preferred route for funeral processions to Oakland Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Most of the popular architectural styles from late 19th and into the 20th century are found here. The most popular house form is the American Four-Square. Other popular styles include Queen Anne, Italianate, and the Greek Revival. The houses are both one and two stories in height, and wood-frame construction is prominent with rubble stone foundations. Some exteriors are clad in brick. Four houses have been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Charles Berryhill House (c. 1850–1865), Vogt House (1890), Bohumil Shimek House (c. 1890), and the Arthur Hillyer Ford House (1909).</p><br>
<p>Brown Street Historic District is also home to Happy Hollow park, a 3.3 acre park that was acquired by the City in 1945. The hollow is the result of inhabitants removing clay from the area to make bricks that were used in nearby homes. In 2018, the park received a new park shelter and restroom, with an estimated cost of $182,250. Happy Hollow Park has been the subject of ongoing coverage over the decision to replace the baseball infield with turf and reclassifying the park.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 2022, the Brown Street Historic District was the site of a project to increase affordable housing in Iowa City. The city sold a vacant lot at 724 Ronalds Street to a nonprofit who has worked with the Iowa City Community School District to build affordable rental housing and provide students with on-the-job vocational training.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Providence Residential Historic District is a 13 acre historic district in Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The listing included 14 "large and pretentious" residences, 11 regarded as contributing buildings and three regarded as intrusions, in a continuous group all on Lake Street, facing across to the shoreline of Lake Providence, except a few on Davis Street, perpendicular.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed along with several other Lake Providence properties and districts that were studied together in the Lake Providence MRA on October 3, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing Properties</h2><br>
<p>The historical district contains a total of 11 contributing properties, built between c.1840 and c.1926. Four of the properties are no more standing:</p><br>

<p>The Isaac Cappon House was constructed as a private house, located at 228 West 9th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is now operated as the Cappon House Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was first settled in 1847 by Dutch immigrants led by of the Rev. Albertus C. van Raalte. Hundreds of additional Dutch immigrants settled in Holland in the following few years. Isaac Cappon arrived in New York City in 1847, then came to Holland in 1848. He worked in a tannery until 1856, when he and fellow immigrant John Bertsch founded the Cappon and Bertsch Leather Company. The tannery grew in size, and the partners built a new building in 1863, and enlarged it a few years later.</p><br>
<p>As Cappons business grew, so did the settlement of Holland. In 1867, Holland was incorporated as a city, and Isaac Cappon was elected as the first mayor. He eventually served four one-year terms in office, being elected in 1867, and again in 1870, 1874, and 1879. However, in 1871, a disastrous forest fire swept through the city, destroying a substantial number of building, including Cappons house and the Cappon and Bertsch tannery. The firm rebuilt, constructing a new plant in 1872, adding a drying house the next year, and continuing to grow through the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>Cappon also rebuilt his own house, hiring builder John R. Kleyn of Holland to construct this house in 1872. The house was completed in 1874. The house remained in the Cappon family until 1978, when the last occupant, Miss Lavina Cappon, died. After this, ownership was transferred to the city of Holland, and the house began operating as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Isaac Cappon House is a two-story T-shaped Italianate structure with a hipped roof with a central cupola. The house is of balloon-framed construction and sits on a rubble foundation. The front facade has a projecting central section, with recessed sections to each side. The double-door main entrance is located in the corner in one recessed section, underneath a bracketed canopy, with a secondary entrance located in the opposite corner. A single story wing projects to the rear.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the main entrance opens into a broad hall, flanked by the main staircase. Off the hall is a formal parlor, the original sitting room (now remodeled into a dining room), the original dining room (now remodeled into a kitchen), and a small bedroom. The original kitchen, located in the single story addition, is now a garage. The first floor contains substantial Victorian woodwork and detailing. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, two smaller ones, and a large bathroom. A small staircase leads to the unfinished attic and then the cupola.</p><br>
<p>The Hudsonville Christian School Building is a school building located at 5692 School Avenue in Hudsonville, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A small settlement developed at this location in the 1860s. Development was slow until construction of the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad in 1874 brought more settlers, primarily Dutch immigrants. By 1897, over 400 people lived in Hudsonville. Christian Reformed congregants who settled in Hudsonville initially worshipped in the surrounding communities, but in 1901 the Rev. G. G. Haan established the Hudsonville Christian Reformed mission. The congregation built a church in 1904.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the congregation established the Hudsonville Society for Christian Instruction. Church members donated a site for the school and construction began in 1917. The original school contained two rooms, but initial enrollment was larger than expected, and a third classroom was conducted in the basement. In 1921 enrollment had increased so much that two additional classrooms were constructed. In 1943, two more classrooms were added. However, enrollment continued to grow, and in the late 1940s, it was decided that the site was too small to continue adding capacity. In 1948, the school purchased another site, and in 1950 constructed a new building.</p><br>
<p>The original building remained part of the Hudsonville Christian School; although fluctuating enrollment made the school attempt to sell the building in 1968, a spike in 1970 caused the building to again be utilized. In the 1970s and 1980s the building was renovated. It was closed at the end of the 2004/05 school year, although the Hudsonville Christian School continued operation in other buildings. The building was purchased by investors and renovated, and leased to a child care center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hudsonville Christian School Building is a one-story structure clad with white-painted clapboards and capped with a combination hip and gable roof. The building contains six classrooms, constructed in three phases of two classrooms each. The western end of the building, topped with a hipped roof, houses a vestibule with two classrooms. The vestibule projects from the front of the building. The middle section of the building contains two more classrooms, a corridor separating them from the original rooms, and a restroom. The eastern section contains two more classrooms, another corridor, and a second restroom. These two sections are covered with a single broad hipped roof with a gable section connecting to the western hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>The Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. This section of the city was developed as the population increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The growth was due, in part, to the expansion of the</p><br>
<p>University of Iowa and its hospitals. There was also an expansion of the central business district at the same time. Both professionals and business owners built houses here. The district contains houses for the upper class and the middle class, side by side to each other. It was also the place where German and Bohemian immigrant families resided.</p><br>
<p>The architectural styles and vernacular house forms found here are representative of those built in the city from the 1860s through the 1930s. The Queen Anne and Greek Revival styles are particularly evident. Local architect Orville H. Carpenter designed at least eight houses in the district. The Emma J. Harvat and Mary E. Stach House (1918) was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Mathew Elmore Sewalt House, on E. Jefferson Avenue in Lovington, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It was built in two phases in 1909 and 1916 and has also been known as the Sewalt House and as the Sewalt-Waits House.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story adobe house with concrete stucco. It was started by Ham Bishop as an adobe pyramidal roof house. It was bought by "up-and-coming rancher" Mathew Sewalt in 1916, and he expanded it. It has Craftsman details including exposed rafter ends and a low shed-roof dormer.</p><br>
<p>Unfortunately Sewalt died young, in the 1918 influenza epidemic, but he had contributed "much to Lovingtons improvement, including organizing corporations that founded the towns first bank and financed its first modem hotel." The house is significant as one of the better examples of a town home in Lovington "and reflects the shortlived prosperity of the town and the rancher who owned it."</p><br>

Both professionals and business owners lived here, along with working-class people. Graduate students, especially those associated with the medical professions, resided in apartment buildings here. Four architecturally significant churches, along with their attendant buildings, are located in the district.</p><br>
<p>The architectural styles of both residential and institutional forms found here are representative of those built in the city from the 1850s through the 1930s. The Gothic Revival, especially for the churches, and Greek Revival styles are particularly evident. Architects of regional and local importance with buildings in the district include Gurdon P. Randall, Proudfoot & Bird, and Orville H. Carpenter.

<p>The Longfellow Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. As the University of Iowa expanded in the early 20th-century new sections were being added to the city. The Longfellow neighborhood, named after the local elementary school completed in 1919, was part of this expansion. The northern part of the neighborhood along East Court Street developed in the 19th century because the street connected the city center to the Muscatine road. The rest of the neighborhood was platted on farm land in 1908 and 1914. A trolley line was completed to the area in 1910, leading to the creation of suburban development.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses in the neighborhood were completed between 1910 and 1940. The structures are small to medium-sized and reflect the styles that were popular at the time, particularly the American Craftsman. Two architect designed buildings were works of two architects that are not well known: O.H. Carpenter for the E.T. Davis house on Court Street, and G.L. Lockart for Longfellow School. The Oakes-Wood House (1858), one of the older houses in the neighborhood that was owned by artist Grant Wood, was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Holland Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, now known as the Pillar Church, is a religious structure located at 57 East 10th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was first settled by Dutch immigrants, led by Rev. Albertus Christiaan Van Raalte, in 1847. That summer, the immigrants built their first church, a log structure. By 1854, the growth of the settlement necessitated the construction of a new church, and work on this building began. Construction was supervised by Jacobus Schrader, a millwright.</p><br>
<p>Substantial renovations were made to the church over the years. A pipe organ was installed in 1890. An annex, originally constructed to house the church library and classrooms, was added in 1900. A heating system and partial basement were put in place later. In 1947, a full basement was installed, and the church interior was entirely remodeled. The annex and the basement were remodeled in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The congregation has remained in this church through the present day. Early schisms split the church, particularly in 1884, after Van Raalte&#39;s death, when the majority of congregants voted to change denominations. However, in 2012, Pillar Church voted to become a dual-affiliation congregation, thus restoring what was split in 1884.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pillar Church is an elegant white clapboard Greek Revival structure with a low pitched roof. The front facade has temple front, with a portico containing six massive Doric columns topped by a classical entablature. A three-part tower, 60 feet in height, with an octagonal belfry, projects from the roof. A clapboard annex, constructed in 1900, projects from the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The current interior has a floor plan with a rectangular sanctuary with a center aisle, two side aisles and plain wooden pews. Additional seating is contained in a balcony above.</p><br>
<p>The Melrose Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. This neighborhood first developed as a sparsely populated rural area, and between World War I and World War II developed into an automobile suburb. It grew along with the University of Iowa when it expanded to the west side of the Iowa River, and it borders the large University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics complex. Among the prominent people who lived here was Howard Jones who coached the Iowa football team from 1916 to 1923. Other prominent residents included professors and local professionals and politicians.</p><br>
<p>The houses in the neighborhood vary in size from large multi-story, ornamented structures to those that are more modest in scale. They also reflect the styles that were popular in the city at the time it was transformed from a largely rural area to a suburban area. The street patterns vary from curvilinear, to cul-de-sac, to grid patterns and a major town and country highway. The district also includes Brookland Park. The Billingsley-Hills House (1870) and the A.W. Pratt House (1885) were individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Holland Old City Hall and Fire Station is a former government building located at 108 East 8th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Until the 1880s, the city of Holland rented space for their city council and fire department. In 1882, the city decided to construct a new city hall and fire station. They hired the Grand Rapids architectural firm of Robinson and Barnaby to design this building. The city chose contractor James Huntley to build the fire station, and work began in August 1883.</p><br>
<p>The building was substantially completed by the end of 1883, but some finishing was left in 1884. The building served as the city hall and fire station for the city until the 1910s, when a new city hall was constructed. Additions to the building were completed in 1941, and the building served as a fire station for the city until 1977, when a replacement was constructed. The building was soon thereafter sold to private investors, who renovated the structure.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The old Holland Old City Hall and Fire Station is a two-story brick structure with a low, flat-roofed addition. The facade is topped by a gabled parapet wall. A pointed, gable roof, Dutch Revival hose drying tower is placed on a front corner. The foundation is constructed of fieldstone. Window sills of the station are defined by a stone beltcourse.</p><br>
<p>The South Summit Street District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The west side of the 300 block formed part of Iowa City&#39;s original boundary. A 6 ft limestone obelisk at 331 South Summit marks the original southeast corner of the city. Although nothing is left of it, Camp Pope, a training camp for the Union Army during the American Civil War, was located in this area in 1862. Three Iowa Infantry regiments, the 22nd, 28th and 40th, trained here. The street itself was created in the 1850s and the 1860s, and it was incorporated into the city in 1881. The neighborhood is a park-like setting with mature trees and large homes that sit back from the street. A large variety of architectural styles are represented in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Hauser Mansion is a historic house in Helena, Montana, USA, built in 1885 for Governor Samuel Thomas Hauser. In 2024 it was purchased by Governor Greg Gianforte and his wife Susan with the declared intention of donating it to become the governor&#39;s mansion.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1885 for Governor Samuel Hauser. It was designed by the architectural firm Wallace & Thornburg. It was inherited by his daughter, Ellen Hauser Thatcher, in 1913, and subsequently sold to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Helena, John P. Carroll, followed by other bishops.</p><br>
<p>In January 2024, Governor Greg Gianforte and his wife Susan announced they had bought the Hauser Mansion and intended to make it their residence for the remainder of his term and then donate it to the State of Montana as a governor&#39;s residence. The state legislature has appropriated funds for its renovation.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Hill Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential area of Bristol, Connecticut, known for its high-quality 19th and early 20th-century residential architecture. Centered around the Federal Hill Green, it developed as a fashionable residential area, and features a large number of fine Italianate and Victorian houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Bristol was settled in the 1720s as part of Farmington, from which it was formally separated in 1785. A separate parish had been established in 1744 at the top of Federal Hill, a prominent rise northeast of the present downtown. What is now the Federal Hill Green was part of the original town green, and is where Bristols first church and school were located. Changes in transportation routes in the 19th century reduced this centers economic importance, and most civic functions were eventually established elsewhere. It remained a focus of religious activities (there are four churches in the district), and became a fashionable location for wealthy businesspeople to build homes. This began in the 1840s, and reached its height in the last four decades of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly bounded on the west by a railroad right-of-way which skirts around the base of the hill, and on the south by High Street. To the east and north it is bounded by areas filled with construction after the 1920s. There are more than 250 primary buildings (houses, churches, schools, and a few commercial buildings) in the district, and a number of period outbuildings, mainly garages and barns or carriage houses. The architectural styles seen the most are the Italianate of the 1850s-1870s, and the Queen Anne Victorian. Probably the most opulent house in the district is the Beleden House, a Beaux Arts mansion built in 1908-10 for a local merchant and banker, which is individually listed on the National Register for its architecture.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Printing House, also known as the Koza Building, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1856 expressly for the purposes of housing the Iowa Capitol Reporter, a local newspaper named for when this was Iowas capital city. The newspapers offices were located on the main floor, the composition room was on the second floor, and printing press was in the basement. The Iowa Capitol Reporter was sold by the 1860s and the Iowa City Republican took over the building. They moved out in the mid-1870s, and the building housed a series of saloons into the 1890s. After it was occupied by a variety of businesses, the building housed John V. Koza&#39;s meat shop for about 40 years. The three-story brick building is considered an excellent example of pre-Civil War commercial architecture in Iowa City.</p><br>
<p>The William Harvey House is a historic house at 1173 Windor Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1868, it is a good local example of Italianate architecture, executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Harvey House stands in southern Windsor, at the northwest corner of Windsor Avenue (Connecticut Route 189) and Hillcrest Road. Windsor Avenue is at this point the major north–south thoroughfare on the west side of the Connecticut River. The house is two stories in height, with a flat roof and brick walls. The eaves of the roof are elongated, projecting a significant distance beyond the walls. The front facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the rightmost bay. It is sheltered by flat-roof portico, and has sidelight and transom windows, with flanking pilasters. The ground floor windows are elongated, and the second-floor windows are of a more typical sash size, with sills and lintels of brownstone. On the side elevations there are small windows in the attic level. A two-story brick ell extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1868 for William Harvey, a local tobacco merchant, and was in the family until at least the mid-20th century. The house is one a modest number of surviving Italianate homes in the town.</p><br>
<p>The Holland Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district located along Eighth Street from just east of College Avenue to River Avenue, and along and River Avenue from Ninth Street to just north of Eighth Street in Holland, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The section along Eighth Street has been the center of Holland&#39;s commercial shopping district since the founding of the city in 1847. However, a disastrous forest fire in 1871 destroyed much of the town, including the entire commercial district in the center of the city. Reconstruction was hindered by the economic Panic of 1873, but much of the downtown had been rebuilt by 1875. However, this first wave of rebuilding was primarily composed of two-story false-front frame structures, none of which remain within the district. The first brick buildings constructed were probably the two-storefront wide VanDerVeen Hardware Building at 36 West Eighth and the original section of the City Hotel, on the site of the Hotel Warm Friend.</p><br>
<p>Holland&#39;s population grew immensely in the later part of the 19th century, increasing from 2400 in 1871 to 7790 by 1900. Railroads and shipping infrastructure was built, and the industrial base of the city grew, and the commercial area followed suit. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing through the 1920s, a building boom resulted in the former wooden buildings in downtown being replaced with brick structures.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Holland Downtown Historic District contains 59 contributing and 24 non-contributing structures. Most of the buildings are two- and three-story commercial structures, built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and having brick, stone, or terra cotta facades. The buildings stand directly on the line of the sidewalk. The largest buildings stand in the center of the district at the corner of Eight Street and Central: the former Steketee&#39;s store at 4 East Eighth and the six-story, former Hotel Warm Friend at 5 East Eighth.</p><br>
<p>The oldest buildings in the district are Italianate in design, with the buildings at 24 East and 36 West Eight Street being the only examples. Other buildings span Late Victorian architectural styles, and include Renaissance Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque structures. Some of the significant structures in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Holland City State Bank (190 River Avenue, at Eighth): This massive three-story Richardsonian Romanesque bank is constructed of rock-face blocks of Waverly stone, and has a distinctive pyramid-roof corner tower that provides a landmark for the downtown.</p><br>
<p>Knickerbocker (Holland) Theater Building (86 East Eighth): This 20th century commercial building has a high, stepped-pediment facade with a classical cornice and a pediment.</p><br>
<p>First National (now First of America) Bank (1 West Eighth): This is the only Classical Revival building in the district. It is clad with limestone, and has an Ionic portico in antis.</p><br>
<p>Steketee&#39;s Department Store (44 East Eighth): This six-story building has a facade that is nearly all window, with terra cotta bands marking the divisions between floors. The roofline undulates, with raised areas containing colored Art Deco terra-cotta ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Warm Friend (5 East Eighth): The largest building in the district is a six-story structure made from red brick with limestone trim. The building is nine bays wide, and has a Dutch gable in the center of its facade. Completed in 1925, the building occupies the site of earlier hotels - the City Hotel and the Hotel Holland - which date back to 1871</p><br>
<p>The William Lee and Eudora Courtney Bazoon Farmstead, in the vicinity of Darlington in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. It is notable as a small complex of three log structures.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, "The Bazoon house and its accompanying log barn are unusually intact examples of the state&#39;s log construction and together with a pole well shed compose a rare, complete farmstead of the Upland South tradition in Louisiana."</p><br>
<p>The main part of the house is a 16 x single pen of round, peeled logs of about 4-6 inches in diameter, with saddle notching at corners. It has porches that have been enclosed by board-and-batten walls. A separate 10.67 x log pen for a kitchen is connected by a porch.</p><br>
<p>A pole shed provides a shelter for a hand pump well. A barn about 100 ft from the house is the third contributing resource; it has a single log pen about 15.5 x in plan.</p><br>
<p>Hathaways Store is a historic formerly commercial building at 32 East Street in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1850, it is a good local example of vernacular Italianate architecture in brick, and a reminder of the formerly industrial heritage of its immediate surroundings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Hathaways Store building stands northwest of downtown Windsor, on the east side of East Street near its crossing of Mill Brook. It is a 2-1/2 story structure, built of painted brick and covered by a gabled roof. It is set close the street on a steeply sloping lot, present two stories to the front and a single-story wood-frame addition to the rear. The front has one entry at the center of the three-bay facade on the ground floor, and a second above that on the second floor, accessed by a two-bay shed-roof porch, whose stairs extend to the right side. The porch has turned posts and balusters, with brackets at the roof. The main roof eaves are trimmed with simple Italianate bracketing. The upper entrance is flanked by sash windows with simple trim, and there is another window in the gable end above.</p><br>
<p>The store was built about 1850, when the East Street area was populated with a number of mills and other industries. One small mill stood just to the west, and there was also a blacksmith&#39;s shop across the street. The first proprietor was Duane Hathaway, a farmer who lived farther down East Street.</p><br>
<p>111 Maple Street is a historic house in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1871, it is a good local example of Italianate architecture, with lingering Greek Revival touches. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>111 Maple Street stands on the south side of the street, a residential street extending west from downtown Windsor, between Welch Avenue and Preston Street. It is now surrounded by more recent construction. It is a two-story L-shaped brick structure, with a flat roof whose eaves extend well beyond the walls. Its front facade is two bays wide, with sash windows set in rectangular openings with sandstone sills and lintels. The main entrance is on the left side, sheltered by a single-story two-bay porch set in the crook of the L. The porch is supported by Ionic columns, and has a Greek Revival entablature. The left side of the L has a single-story projecting polygonal bay window, topped by a shallow-pitch roof with cornice. A brick two-story ell extends the building further to the rear, with a second entry porch on its west side.</p><br>
<p>The house was built on land purchased by John Bruce in October 1871. Bruce was a local builder, whose other brick buildings include 30 Maple Street.</p><br>
