<p>The Ocean City Life-Saving Station  is the only life-saving station of its design in New Jersey still in existence. Designed by architect James Lake Parkinson in a Carpenter Gothic style, the building is one of 25 stations built of the 1882 life-saving type. It is also one of six still in existence in the country. Construction on the facility began in September 1885 and was completed in the following year. There were two earlier stations in the northern end of Ocean City before this facility was constructed, and there were two stations farther south on the island.</p><br>
<p>At 4th Street and Atlantic Avenue, the life-saving station was originally near the beach, but sand gradually accumulated, such that it is currently about from the coast. In December 1936, the facility was shut down in favor of the larger Great Egg Coast Guard Station, across Great Egg Harbor Inlet. The United States Coast Guard continued to own the property, utilizing it during World War II to store equipment and personnel who patrolled the beach for German submarines and spies. In October 1945, the Coast Guard sold the life-saving station, and for 54 years the building served as a private residence. From 1999 to 2010, a developer sought to demolish the building in favor of constructing three duplexes. After legal battles and intervention from local historic groups, Ocean City purchased the property in May 2010. After a $1.5 million renovation, the life-saving station reopened on December 31, 2017, and six months later reopened as the Ocean City Life-Saving Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>During the early 19th century, shipwrecks were common along the New Jersey coast, due to the poor conditions of lighthouses, markers, and coastal maps. Shipwrecks were so common in the 1840s that shipping underwriters appointed agents to salvage wrecks along the shore towns. The first permanent resident of Ocean City was Parker Miller in 1859, who was an agent for marine insurance companies. Congressman William A. Newell, representing coastal New Jersey in the House of Representatives, helped pass the Newell Act in 1848, which secured $10,000 in funding for lifeboats and unnamed life saving stations. The first of these was built in Ocean City in 1853 or 1854, one of 22 stations along the coast. Named "Pecks Beach North", the station was near the current building on the northern end of the island, near the Great Egg Harbor Inlet along the beach. Corson Inlet Station was built in 1855 at the south end of Ocean City at what is now 58th Street, and was replaced by a newer facility in 1899. As with other stations during this time period, Pecks Beach North station deteriorated due to lack of funds for repairs. During that time, crews were usually untrained, often had a poor response time, and were led by political appointees.</p><br>
<p>After a series of shipwrecks in the winter of 1870&ndash;1871, the USA Congress authorized funds to put trained crews at every station and repair buildings. In 1872, a larger station house was built at the corner of 5th Street and Ocean Avenue, named Beazleys Station, to replace the original 1854 station. In the same year, Pecks Beach Station was built at what is now 36th Street and Wesley Avenue, which was replaced by a newer facility in 1899. In 1878, Ocean Citys three life-saving stations fell under the jurisdiction of the newly created United States Life-Saving Service, and Beazleys Station became USA Life Saving Station 30. In 1883, Beazleys Station was officially renamed to Ocean City Station, and in the same year, the facility&#39;s roof began leaking as the structure deteriorated. The USA Life-Saving Service provided funds for repairs in 1884. Instead of repairing Ocean City Station, the Life-Saving Service leased a lot in January 1855 to construct a new building. The flat and grassy lot measured 100 ft by 130 ft, or 0.29 acre, and was along the beach at the northeast corner of 4th Street and Atlantic Avenue, at 801 4th Street.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and usage</h2><br>
<p>Construction on the new Ocean City Life-Saving Station began on September 17, 1885. It was an 1882-Type lifeguard station of Carpenter Gothic style, one of 25 stations built that were designed by architect James Lake Parkinson. In 1886, the new Ocean City Station was finished, and the crew moved in on May 28. Standing one-and-a-half stories tall, the station house was made of wood. It sat on a foundation made of 4 ft high pilings and mudsills, on a foundation of logs, concrete, and brick. The rectangular building measures 61 ft by 55 ft. The walls are made of weatherboard and shingles. There is also a one-story lookout tower. The gable dormer roof is laced with asphalt shingles, and attached is a brick chimney. There are four rectangular concrete pads in the southwest periphery of the lot, possibly supports for a flag pole.</p><br>
<p>In 1895, a storage shed was added, and over time, the wooden pilings were replaced with concrete. The building was expanded on the northern and southern sides in 1905, and a porch was added on the west, south, and a portion of the east sides. In 1915, the newly created United States Coast Guard, the successor to the USA Life-Saving Service which had operated the station since its inception, took over the building, which became known as USA Coast Guard Station No. 126. Some time before 1925, sidewalks were added on the west and south sides. A perimeter post and rail fence also existed on the property some time between 1895 and 1931. Over time, the beach accrued sand and moved the coast eastward to its current distance, about from the station. In December 1936, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station was shut down due to its isolation from the beach and presence in a neighborhood. The Coast Guard kept ownership of the Ocean City property, and utilized the larger Great Egg Coast Guard Station, 1.5 mi to the north across the Great Egg Harbor Inlet.</p><br>
<p>The building was reopened during World War II in late 1941 to store equipment and personnel who patrolled the beach for German submarines and spies. The station was shut down again in the spring of 1945 after the war ended. During its operation, 62 men served at the station. In October 1945, the Coast Guard sold the building to be used as a private residence for a single-family home. Of the 25 life-saving stations constructed of the 1882 design, the Ocean City station is the only one still in existence in New Jersey, and one of only six in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Private residence and restoration</h2><br>
<p>At some point after the building became a private residence, a few medium-sized trees were planted. In the 1940s or 1950s, the lookout tower was demolished, but it was re-added in the 1970s to resemble the original tower. The 1895 storage shed was used at one point as a car garage. In 1968, a concrete pad was installed north of the building, connecting it with an adjacent alley.</p><br>
<p>In February 1999, Ocean Citys Historic Preservation Commission denied the propertys owner a permit to demolish the wings of the building. The city consulted architectural firm Watson & Henry Associates for the feasibility to move the property, but the firm advised against it. The Citizens for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit to stop the building from being relocated, and the Cape May County Superior Court issued a stay on demolition. On May 27, 1999, Elizabeth Sheehan sold the property to Roger Parkin and Pansini Custom Design Associates, LLC for $710,000. The intention was to demolish the building and build three duplexes. In July 1999, Ocean City&#39;s council rejected an $807,500 bond ordinance to purchase the property. On April 9, 2001, the New Jersey Register of Historic Places granted a Certification of Eligibility to the property, and Ocean City also designated the property as a historic structure. This meant that the developer had to comply with city zoning ordinances. For eight years, Parkin and Pansini attempted to sell the property, but a historical preservation group Saving Our Station fought the sale in court. In 2005, the developers offered to sell the property to Ocean City for $3 million, which the city council approved. Mayor Bud Knight vetoed the ordinance, and the council overrode the veto. Residents put the bond ordinance to a referendum on November 8, 2005, which was defeated by 75% of the voters.</p><br>
<p>In early 2006, Parkin and Pansini offered to donate the property to Ocean City and $500,000 to move and restore the station, which the city council approved in February 2006. The deal was contingent on approval from the Coastal Areas Facility Review Act. In 2007, New Jersey Superior Court averaged various property assessments for a fair market value of $1,072,500, and ruled that the property could be demolished if not sold within six months.</p><br>
<p>On April 8, 2013, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station was listed on the state historic registry, and on June 14 of that year, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Beginning in May 2013, Ocean City issued a series of contracts to restore the building to its condition in 1906 and turn it into a museum. The overall cost for repairs and restoration was estimated at $1.5 million. The work consisted of restoring original light bulbs, replacing posts, fixing sidewalks, improved support for the roof, Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility, improved ventilation, removing sand, new service for water, gas, and sewage, and repairing damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.</p><br>
<p>On December 31, 2017, the Ocean City Life-Saving Station was reopened for the city&#39;s annual First Night celebration. The facility formally reopened as the Life-Saving Museum on Memorial Day in 2018.</p><br>
<p>736 Palisado Avenue is one of a small number of Second Empire houses in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1865, it is a distinctive surviving example of the style in brick, with a mansard roof and turret. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Palisado Avenue, designated Connecticut Route 159, is the principal north–south route through Windsor, roughly paralleling the Connecticut River which forms the town&#39;s eastern border. Number 736 is on the east side of the road, a short way south of the Oliver Ellsworth Homestead, on a property that extends all the way to the river. It is a -story brick structure, with a flared mansard roof providing a full third story in the attic space. It is asymmetrical in shape, with a prominent -story turret at the center of its front facade. Windows are generally set in segmented-arch windows, with gabled dormers in the steeply sloping sections of the roof. The main entry is in the right side of the tower, sheltered by a hip-roofed porch with turned post and spindled valance.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1865, and is one of three examples of the Second Empire style in the town. Its more elaborate form is a significant contrast to the surrounding houses, many of which date to the 18th and early 19th centuries.</p><br>
<p>Homeowners have included Dr. Bill & Clotean Brayfield, A Connecticut Educator and Civil Rights Activist, the Amy Winnegar Family, Dr. Michael W. Klemens of the Connecticut Siting Council appointed by Governor Dannal Malloy and Chairman of Salisbury CT P & Z, and Honorable Judge Kevin Washington, Federal Govt and State and Town Human Rights and Social Justice Activist that still lives in the Town of Windsor.</p><br>
<p>Cedars Plantation, located along Lake Irwin Road, about 2.4 mi southwest of Oak Ridge in Morehouse Parish in Louisiana, was built in c.1840 and is believed to be the oldest surviving house in the parish. It has also been known as Williams Home Place. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 19, 1976.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes it as "an example of a typical early Louisiana bluffland house. The bluffland house type is a -story frame house with outside end chimneys, gallery, and ell. It is a variation of the dog-trot house type, because it has a wide central hall, although in the bluffland house the hall is enclosed. Structural evidence, family tradition and deduction from known documents indicate that the main part of the house was built no later than the early 1840s, while additions and changes were made around 1870."</p><br>
<p>It has a central hall with two 18 x rooms on each side, with 9.33 ft high ceilings. There are smaller rooms to the rear and a kitchen ell. The house is clad in milled cypress clapboards.</p><br>
<p>It was built by John Williams for himself and his wife Elizabeth Wooding Williams, who had together moved from Pittsylvania County, Virginia to a 500 acre property in what was then Ouachita Parish, Louisiana in 1828. John later obtained another 500 acres in 1833, after which family tradition is that "slaves were sent with ox-drawn wagons on the twelve-day round trip to Natchez, Mississippi to procure milled timber and lumber to build a more suitable dwelling, which resulted in the present house." Their original log house became a kitchen, which has not survived. Besides being the oldest house in Morehouse Parish, the house is important for its surviving early outbuildings which have survived: a carriage house, a log smoke house, a milk house and a cotton house. In 1976 the house was still owned by a descendant of John Williams.</p><br>
<p>The Rattlesnake Creek Bridge brings a Cuming County, Nebraska county road over Rattlesnake Creek, 2.8 miles northwest of Bancroft. It was built in 1903 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The road was gravel-surfaced in 1992.</p><br>
<p>It is a steel Pratt half-hip pony truss bridge, and the oldest known example of this type designed by the Standard Bridge Company of Omaha and built throughout eastern Nebraska. The bridge is 92 ft long in total, with a single span of 60 ft and a roadway width of 15.7 ft.</p><br>
<p>It was one of 60 new or rebuilt bridges in a bridge-building program started in 1903 by Cuming County. The Standard Bridge Company had an annual contract with Cuming, Wayne, Thurston, Stanton, Dodge and Burt counties and built hundreds of half-hip truss bridges during 1900–1920; this one is the oldest documented example.</p><br>
<p>In 2019, the bridge was relocated to a hiking trail housed in a West Point, Nebraska nature park, where it remains in use today by foot and bike traffic. Previously, the intact bridge was placed in a field in rural Cuming County unused.</p><br>
<p>The Coushatta Bank Building, at 103 Carroll Street in Coushatta, Louisiana, was built in about 1890. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick false front commercial building. Its facade is topped by a brick-paneled frieze itself topped by a pressed metal entablature and a cornice. It has segmentally arched windows and decorative cast-iron pillars. The building has a brick vault towards the back.</p><br>
<p>Out of about 40 historic commercial structures in Coushatta, it is the only one with detailing meriting calling it "Victorian" in style.</p><br>
<p>The Hughes House at 414 Sibley Street in Benton in Bossier Parish in northwestern Louisiana, was built in about 1840. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The house was originally listed on the National Register in 1976 at its original location on LA 160, 13 mi northeast of Benton (NRHP ref #76000962). It was delisted in September 1996, and re-enlisted with actual reference number after its move in October 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Colonel James Loomis House is a historic house at 208-210 Broad Street in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1822 for a prominent local family, it is a good local example of Federal 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 Colonel James Loomis House is located in the village center of Windsor, on the west side of the Broad Street Green, between Poquonock Avenue and Maple Avenue. It is a -story brick building, with a gabled roof. Its street-facing main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the left bay, topped by a half-oval fanlight window. Windows in the other bays are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and splayed stone lintels. The gable above is fully pedimented, with a half-oval fanlight at the center. Sympathetic modern additions have been made to the right side of the building as part of its conversion to a commercial space.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1822 by James Loomis, who at the time operated the towns only store directly adjacent. Loomis was one of many descendants of Joseph Loomis, one of Windsors first colonial settlers, and his children were instrumental in the founding of The Loomis Chaffee School.</p><br>
<p>The Bossier City Municipal Building, at 630 Barksdale Boulevard in Bossier City, Louisiana, was built in 1926. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick building which originally included city offices, an auditorium/council chamber, a jail and a fire station. It was converted in the 1980s to be home for the Bossier Arts Council.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Jones, Roessle, Olschner & Wiener with some elements that can be termed Renaissance Revival in style. According to its NRHP nomination, ithas a romantic and evocative style that partakes of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque, although the effect is heavily dependent upon accent features rather than overall design. Despite some admittedly significant alterations over the years, the building retains the bulk of its original exterior character and would be easily recognizable to someone from the historic period. Hence it conveys its identity and historical significance as a “coming of age” for Bossier City. The Municipal Building’s Italian flavor can be seen in its villa-like asymmetrical massing under a low, broadly overhanging roof (originally clay tile) with widely spaced extended brackets. The asymmetry is minimal, but nonetheless convincing when seen from a three-quarter view. Massing takes the form of a large, low-pitch, gable-fronted main block with a one story projection on the east side and a two story projection containing the staircase on the west side. At the rear is a flat roofed fire station wing. The one story addition spanning the western elevation of the main block, behind the staircase “tower,” dates from the historic period. Its brickwork and windows are identical to the original construction. A series of great round arch windows on the second story facade and side elevations light what was originally the council chamber. Five of these windows span the façade. Above them, in the low gable, is a cast stone tablet with classical details identifying the building.</p><br>
<p>The Bossier High School on Colquitt Street in Bossier City in Bossier Parish, Louisiana was built in 1923 and 1928 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It later became known as Bossier City Elementary School.</p><br>
<p>The listed property is a three block area which includes three buildings. The oldest is a two-story brick and stone building designed by architect Edward F. Neild in Classical Revival, built by Caldwell and Co. in 1923. A second contributing building is the similarly styled classroom building built in 1928 in front of the 1923 building. A third, non-contributing building, is a one-story brick gymnasium built in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The complex had a total of 36 classrooms and served all levels of schooling, despite its name suggesting that it would serve high school level only. The town had been growing rapidly, quadrupling in population from 1920 to 1930 and continuing to grow. The school complex was devoted to serving elementary school levels only from 1939 on, when a new high school also named "Bossier High School" and also now NRHP-listed, was built elsewhere in Bossier City.</p><br>
<p>The West Point City Auditorium in West Point in Cuming County, Nebraska was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as a local venue for performing arts and community events, financed by local donations and ultimately purchased by the city in 1945.</p><br>
<p>It was mainly designed by architect J.M. Nachtigall and includes elements of Early Commercial and Tudor Revival. The West Point Cadet Band was involved in the design of the auditorium, too, besides being integral to the community funding. It has also been known as City Auditorium and as Nebraskan Theatre.</p><br>
<p>It is a brick clad 120 x building on a raised concrete foundation. It has a wood frame "fly loft" at the rear. The main section of the building has steel trusses and beams. It was modified in 1949 after the city took ownership in 1945.</p><br>
<p>As of 2017, some events are now held at the new Nielsen Community Center instead of at the auditorium. The auditorium is now used as a community playhouse and movie theater.</p><br>
<p>The Madison Parish Courthouse, located at 100 North Cedar Street in downtown Tallulah in Madison Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1939. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1989.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story stucco-over-masonry Colonial Revival building. Its main part is a five bays wide and has a hip roof. It has an Ionic portico with a lunette in its tympanum. It is topped by a two-stage English Baroque-style cupola with an octagonal lantern with round arch openings and an ogee cap. Side wings with parapets were added later.</p><br>
<p>The building is a local landmark, and has one of only two pedimented porticos in Tallulah.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects J.W. Smith & Associates. J.W. Smith also designed two NRHP-listed high schools: Bastrop High School, in Bastrop, Louisiana and Mer Rouge High School in Mer Rouge, Louisiana. It was built by contractor M.T. Reed Construction Co.</p><br>
<p>The Tallulah Book Club Building, located at 515 Dabney St. in Tallulah, Louisiana, was built in 1930. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect William Stanton in Spanish Revival/Mission Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It has served as a womens clubhouse and as a lending library for the community and parish. It was originally named the Tallulah Literary Club, and was an organization founded in 1902 by a group of women. The building made them the only Federated Womens Club in Louisiana to own its own building.</p><br>
<p>Bloom&#39;s Arcade, now known as Blooms Apartments, is a Moderne-style shopping arcade built in 1930 in Tallulah, Louisiana, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The arcade includes 12 interior shop bays marked by brick pilasters. The arcade space is capped by a continuous glass skylight. It has checkerboard terrazo floors and pressed metal paneled ceilings in many of the shops. It was designed by architect Noah Webster Overstreet of Jackson, Mississippi and was built by contractor Tom Wilmoth of Camden, Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>Its 1989 NRHP nomination stated "the arcade clearly retains its original character as a unique Louisiana example of what is essentially a European phenomenon."</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the structure was completely restored by Brownstone Group and is now housing an apartments complex.</p><br>
<p>The Tensas Parish Courthouse on Courthouse Square in St. Joseph, the parish seat of Tensas Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Architect P.H. Weathers designed it.</p><br>
<p>Its main entrance has a tetrastyle pedimented portico; it has porticoes on its other two main facades as well. The courthouse is topped by an English Baroque style cupola which has a pressed tin balustrade. Though the cupola once had a clock with four faces it has been removed. As of the NRHP listing in 1979, the second floor courtroom retained all of its original features, including paneled judge&#39;s bench, witness stand, and jury box.</p><br>
<p>The Peter Conser House, in or near Heavener, Oklahoma and/or Hodgen, Oklahoma, was built in 1894 and was the home of Peter Conser from then until his death in 1934. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The listing included two contributing buildings on 4 acre.</p><br>
<p>Peter Conser (c.1850-1934) was a Choctaw Nation lawman, the Chief Lighthorseman of the Mosholatubbee District, which is roughly equivalent to being county sheriff in the Choctaw Nation&#39;s system of law and order. He fought in the American Civil War as a Confederate soldier, and came to this area after, building a log house which burned in 1870 or 1875. He later built a second house, and then the present house in 1894 using a door and some rafters from the previous ones.</p><br>
<p>The Overstreet House, near Cowlington, Oklahoma is a frame house which was built in 1891. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was home of T.G. Overstreet who came from Springfield, Missouri to the Short Mountain area in the Indian Territory in the early</p><br>
<p>1870s. Eventually he built a farming and ranching business with more than 3,000 cattle and hundreds of other livestock on 3,000 acre. He died at age 93 and is buried in the family cemetery nearby.</p><br>
<p>The house includes some elements of Victorian or possibly Italianate architecture. It includes four contributing buildings on 5 acre.</p><br>
<p>Estate Hogansborg is located east of Frederiksted off Centerline Road in the Northwest district of Saint Croix, USA Virgin Islands, or the West End Quarter of Saint Croix. It dates back to 1757. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The listing included four contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and three contributing sites on 4.6 acre.</p><br>
<p>The estate includes a great house and two other houses, and remains of the island&#39;s first steam-powered sugar factory, of a later factory, of a slave village, and of other accessory buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Neligh Mill Bridge is a truss bridge which brings Elm St. over the Elkhorn River in Neligh in Antelope County, Nebraska. It was built in 1910 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It has also been known as the Elm Street Bridge and as Elkhorn River Bridge.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was damaged by flooding in June 2010. The Antelope County Board of Supervisors voted in April 2011 to remove it, but rescinded this decision in June 2011.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is located near the Neligh Mill, a historic site owned by the Nebraska Historical Society. There once was a wagon bridge on the site which was replaced by a truss bridge in 1884. That was replaced by this bridge in 1910. The bridge is a 140 ft pinned Pratt through truss bridge (140 feet span with 145 feet total length) built by the Western Bridge and Construction Company of Omaha, which had Antelope County&#39;s annual contract for 1910. It is built upon steel cylinder piers.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states that the Neligh Mill Bridge "is technologically significant as an early, well-preserved example of the pinned Pratt through truss: a mainstay structural type for wagon bridges built throughout Nebraska between the 1880s and the 1920s."</p><br>
<p>The Poteau Community Building, in Poteau in Le Flore County in southeastern Oklahoma, is a multipurpose community building built as Works Progress Administration project in 1937. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

<p>It was one of multiple WPA-related properties studied as a group in 1985, many of which were then listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Black Building at 114-118 Broadway in Fargo, North Dakota was a "pivotal" historic resource in the Downtown Fargo District, in the listing of that historic district upon the National Register of Historic Places. In 2016 it was also individually listed on the National Register, as its "owners chose to pursue the honor of individual listing for its architecture and for its association with George Mumford Black and his strategies in commerce and communications. Black had the upper floor of the Art Moderne building designed for WDAY  radio and ensured the station signed off each show with “this is WDAY with from the Black Building, Fargo” and he is credited with creating the one-cent sale."</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Black Building is in Art Moderne style. At eight stories tall, it was the tallest in the district. "Faced with Indiana limestone, it also deviates from the predominant brick in the district. The Black building was the work of Lang,</p><br>
<p>Raugland, and Lewis of Minneapolis with Ole A. Braseth and S. Marius Houkom, consulting Fargo architects. Oscar Lang (1880-1960) and his partners designed the Art Moderne Greyhound bus depot (1936-7) in Minneapolis, the library at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, and a series of churches, schools, and commercial buildings in Minnesota.*9 The Black building (#8) may have inspired the Art Moderne refacing and reconstruction by Braseth and Houkom in 1940 of two other buildings on Broadway: (#38) the Gate City Block at 71-3 and (#33) the building at 202-204 in warm cream-colored ashlar."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Norman B. Black, a leading North Dakota businessman and newspaper publisher arrived in North Dakota in 1905, where he became manager of the Grand Forks Herald and the Evening Times, until he purchased the Fargo Forum in 1917. In addition to publishing the Forum, Black, in 1920, became president of the Minot Daily News. His influence grew through the newspaper business and Black served two terms as president of the North Dakota Press Association. The Black building (#8) at 114-18 Broadway was erected by and named for him."</p><br>
<p>The building was purchased in 2015. There was a municipal bond issue failure associated with the building.</p><br>
<p>The George G. Loomis House is a historic house at 1003 Windsor Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1856, it is a good local example of transitional Greek Revival-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 George G. Loomis House stands in southern Windsor, on the west side of Windsor Avenue (Connecticut Route 159) at its junction with Giddings Avenue. Windsor Avenue is the area&#39;s major north–south route through town, and Giddings Avenue is residential. The house is two stories in height, with a flat roof and brick walls. It is three bays wide and two deep, with the main entrance in the rightmost front bay, sheltered by a small portico with turned posts. Windows are set in rectangular openings with stone sills and lintels; the first-floor front windows are elongated in the Greek Revival style.

(edited 9/1/2018 by current owner: There are still four chimneys. One in the right-front (NE) with a fireplace on 1st and 2nd floor - Two on the north and south walls of the center room, both with fireplaces on the 1st and 2nd floor, though the one on the 2nd floor north is walled-in - And one on the west end, with fireplace on 1st floor; the cooking fireplace with beehive oven.) The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay, topped by a transom window. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels. An entablature encircles the house, and the front gable is fully pedimented, with a half-oval window at its center. A bay window one story in height projects from the south side. A brick ell extends to the west, with a wood-frame addition extending even further.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1834 for Gordon Loomis, a farmer, on land given him by his father. It is one of a series of period brick houses in the area, built using bricks manufactured in local brickyards.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ira Loomis Jr. House is located in southern Windsor, on the west side of Windsor Avenue, between Giddings Avenue and Ludlow Road. It is a -story brick structure, with a front-facing gabled roof. There are two brick chimneys remaining of four that were originally symmetrically placed. The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay, framed by sidelight and transom windows. That bay is sheltered by a Victorian-era porch that extends far beyond the building to the south, with turned posts and a gable with a lattice and fan motif. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels. The main gable is fully pedimented, with a Federal style fanlight at the center. A single-story brick ell extends to the rear of the building, with a gabled porch over a secondary entrance.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1833 for Ira Loomis Jr. by his father. Ira Loomis Sr. was a farmer and brickmaker, who also built a similar house nearby for his son Gordon.</p><br>
<p>Terry House, on Terry Hill in Poteau in Le Flore County, Oklahoma, also known as Woodson House, was built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The house is prominently visible from afar upon a hill and itself has views over a plain and to the Arkansas Mountains.</p><br>

<p>The house was started in 1913 "by an eccentric banker, George W. Terry, who came to the area</p><br>
<p>shortly after statehood", but who died in 1918 with the building not complete. A baker named Pemberton bought the house in 1926 and completed chimneys and ceilings.</p><br>
<p>The Tucker School was a three-room schoolhouse built in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration project in a rural area outside of Spiro in LeFlore County, Oklahoma. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story L-shaped stone building, with main part 69 x and an 11 x extension. It has a stepped gable roof with intersecting gables. Its front entrance is behind an arch. Its design was from an Oklahoma State Department of Education pattern book.

<p>The Robert and Esther Armstrong House, also known as Pleasant Hill, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. This is the last of two documented houses that regionalist artist Grant Wood designed in its entirety in the city. There are 14 documented houses that he designed, at least in part, between 1925 and 1933. He took on the work to help support himself and his mother. Like his artwork, his house designs evolved from more classical styles to the more simpler lines of vernacular forms. In addition, he used local materials to construct the house, including the exterior limestone quarried at Stone City for this house. In addition, Esther Armstrong, local builder Bruce McKay and Wood scoured the countryside looking for design ideas. They settled on two Pennsylvania-style fieldstone structures, from which Wood designed this home. He also served as interior decorator as well. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The James E. Reynolds House, located east of Cameron off State Highway 112 in Le Flore County, Oklahoma is a castle which was built in 1911. Also known as Reynolds Castle, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in LeFlore County, Oklahoma in 1977.</p><br>
<p>It is a 10-room stone castle built from stone quarried from a nearby hillside. The castle was the work of James E. Reynolds (1837–1920). Reynolds was a Confederate soldier in the American Civil War and successful entrepreneur and was in his words an "unreconstructed Confederate."</p><br>
<p>The A. T. Averill House is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. Local architects Sidney Smith and William A. Fulkerson designed this 2-story, brick Late Victorian home. It was completed in 1886 for farm implement dealer Arthur Tappan Averill. This is a more restrained version of the High Victorian style. The house features a truncated hip roof, a 2-story polygonal bay, and a rectangular tower set on the diagonal. The carriage house/barn behind the house is of a similar design, but older. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The William and Sue Damour House is a historic house located at 1844 Second Avenue SE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.</p><br>

<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 16, 1997, with the garage, deemed to be a second contributing building in the listing.</p><br>
<p>Grandview Terrace Boulevard is a historic district encompassing a small well-preserved early 20th-century neighborhood in Hartford, Connecticut. It extends along Grandview Terrace in southwestern Hartford, between White and Linnmoore Streets, and includes a series of high-quality homes built mainly between 1910 and 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Grandview Terrace is a residential road in southwestern Hartford, extending from Henry Street in the north to Linnmoore Street in the south. Its southernmost block is unusual in the city for its boulevarded nature, with a central tree-lined median. It was laid out as part of a larger subdivision in 1900, with larger lot sizes than the rest of the development. No development took place until 1910, when the first building permits were issued. Most of the seventeen houses on the block were built between then and 1925, with outbuildings such as garages generally being added at a later date.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses in the district are of wood frame construction, and are in styles popular at the time. There is one house in brick, and another in stucco. The single most numerous style in the district is the American Foursquare, with six examples. There are two Bungalow-style houses, with the balance of houses in various revival styles. Most of the garages were added in the 1940s, although there is one built in 1910.</p><br>
<p>The George B. Douglas House, which later became known as Turner Mortuary East, is owned today by The History Center, Linn County Historical Society. This historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The house was built for Douglas who was a partner in a cereal mill that became the Quaker Oats Company. David Turner bought the property in 1924 and converted the house into a funeral home. He was a patron of regionalist artist Grant Wood, and Turner leased the carriage house to him from 1924 to 1933. Wood used it as his residence, along with his mother, and as a studio. It was here at #5 Turner Alley that he painted two of his most famous paintings, American Gothic  and Stone City . Wood also worked as a decorator when he lived here and designed the interior of the main house when it was converted into a funeral home. His work included two stained glass windows that flank the main entrance. Several Wood paintings also hung in the funeral home.</p><br>
<p>The house is a 2½-story, brick Georgian Revival structure. It features a symmetrical facade and a hipped roof with three gable dormers. The symmetry, however, was undone by the addition built onto the northeast side. It was designed by local architect Bruce McKay and Grant Wood. Wood is thought to have designed the bay window for the first-floor chapel. Other additions were built onto the back of the structure. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Hartford Electric Light Company Maple Avenue Sub-Station is a historic industrial and commercial building at 686 Maple Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1926, it is a fine example of Classical Revival architecture designed by noted local architects, and a reminder of the history of the area&#39;s electrification. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, and has been converted into commercial use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Maple Avenue substation of the Hartford Electric Light Company stands in southern Hartfords Barry Square area, on the east side of Maple Avenue between Adelaide and Barker Streets. It is a single-story brick building, shaped in a rough parallelogram to accommodate Maple Avenues diagonal traversal of the city street grid. Its walls are buff brick laid in common bond, and it has a five-bay front facade, articulated by projecting brick pilasters with papyrus-leaf capitals. A double-leaf door in the southernmost bay provides entry to the building, sheltered by a metal hip-roofed hood. The front facade is crowned by a stepped parapet, in which the building&#39;s original name and function are incised.</p><br>
<p>The Hartford Electric Light Company (HELCO, later merged into Connecticut Light & Power and now part of Eversource Energy) was founded in 1881, primarily to serve large industrial customers. Its service expanded, and this distribution substation was built in 1926 as part of a push to expand service more broadly into southern Hartford. The station was designed by Frank Whiton and John McMahon, Hartford-based architects. The pair designed an eclectic example of Classical Revival architecture for an otherwise utilitarian structure.</p><br>
