<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Henry K. Farrand moved from New York, to Colon Township in 1836 and settled on a 200-acre parcel at this location. He was accompanied by his aunt, Maria Farrand. Farrand settled in and began farming, and soon married and built a log house. He soon gained a reputation for raising livestock, and added another 600 acres to his farm.</p><br>
<p>In 1854, Farrand built this house for his family; it reportedly resembled his Aunt Marias birthplace in Philadelphia. Farrands wife died in 1855, leaving him with four young children. Farrand continued to live and farm here, and served as township supervisor from 1872 to 1883. He died in 1887. The farmland passed on to Farrand&#39;s descendants, who farmed the land until at least the early 1970s. The house was later sold to Robert La Valle.</p><br>

It was built in 1922 for widow Alice Zappe after her engineer husband died as the result of a railroad accident."</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 18, 1999.</p><br>
<p>Mamie S. Barrett, also known as Penniman and Piasa, was a historic towboat which was built in 1921. It was located in Eddy Creek Marina, in Eddyville, Kentucky at the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in April 1983.</p><br>

<p>The towboat was sold to the Army Corps of Engineers Office in Florence, Alabama in 1937 and renamed Penniman. In 1949, the towboat was bought by Lela and Spence Marshall, which renamed it Piasa, moved it at Harbor Point Yacht Club in West Alton, Missouri and operated it as a floating clubhouse. On October 20, 1981, the towboat was towed to Lake Barkley, Kentucky, where proprietors foamed the entire hull to prevent further deterioration, and planned to convert the boat to a first class restaurant and boutique.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, after being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the boat was moved again to Vicksburg, Mississippi to be used as a showboat, and was outfitted with a theatre and a restaurant. In 1990 the boat was about to become a casino but never entered into exercise.</p><br>
<p>During the Great Flood of 1993 the boat was carried away and beached at its present location. It was still beached in 2016 and in a state of great decay.</p><br>

<p>Trinity-St. James United Methodist Church is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The congregation began as a Sunday school in the northwest part of the city organized by Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church. The evangelist Billy Sunday had preached a revival there and over 300 people joined the church. St. James Methodist Episcopal Church, as it was then known, was established shortly afterward in February 1910. The congregation originally used the closed Danish Lutheran Church at K Avenue NW and Fourth Street NW for their services, and they moved the building that summer to Ellis Boulevard NW. St. James grew to the point that a new building was needed. In 1945 property across the street was purchased, and local architect William J. Brown designed the new church facility. Construction began in September 1952 and it was completed in April 1954 for $165,000.</p><br>
<p>The church building is a modern interpretation of the Gothic Revival style. The gabled-ell form structure houses the sanctuary, administrative, educational and social spaces. Brown utilized the Interdenominational Bureau of Architecture&#39;s guide Planning Church Architecture: Designs, Floor Plans and Recommendations to Help in Planning Church Buildings for Worship, Religious Education, and Fellowship Activities to Cost from $30,000.00 to $850,000.00 (1945) for the basis of his work. The exterior is composed of Tennessee quartzite stone with Bedford stone trim. T. Marion Jones built the wooden furnishings and Universal Art Glass Studios of Winona, Minnesota created the stained glass windows. The sanctuary has a seating capacity of 300, and there are 16 classrooms in the building. It received some damage in a 2008 flood that allowed the gymnasium to be returned to its original use after having been converted into office space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>In July 2015 St. James UMC and Trinity UMC entered into a Cooperative Parish agreement. The idea was to combine their ministry efforts to better serve the community. They shared a pastor and their resources. Services were held at 9:00 AM at St. James and 10:30 AM at Trinity. A leadership council was formed to get input from both congregations. In 2016 several listening sessions were held with both congregations to find out what the congregations wanted to see of their future together. In May 2017 a vote was held at both churches regarding the merger of the two congregations into one. The vote was unanimous at both churches in favor of a merger. On Jun 4, 2017 a church conference was held, led by District Superintendent Rev. Kiboko Kiboko. At that time, St. James United Methodist Church and Trinity United Methodist churches ceased to be, and the new congregation of Trinity-St. James United Methodist Church was formed.</p><br>
<p>Sokol Gymnasium is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. Sokol is a Czech social and gymnastics organization. It had this three-story, brick, Neoclassical structure built in 1908. It was designed by local architect Charles A. Dieman. The organization used the facility as a social hall and gymnasium until it was inundated by 4 ft of water in a 2008 flood. It was cleared out and Sokol moved to another building in southwest Cedar Rapids. This building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The 3 V Tourist Court in St. Francisville in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana was built in 1938. It listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It was originally listed with an address of 111 E. Commerce St., which is not found on current maps.</p><br>
<p>The complex has six small wood frame rental units reflecting Craftsman style, plus a manager&#39;s house and three non-contributing units.</p><br>
<p>The Best Oil and Refining Company Service Station is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. This was the third service station built by business partners George D. Shaler and George J. Albright. Albright had previously been a building contractor and had owned a lumberyard, while Shaler was one of the founders of the Best Oil Company. The two were also in a partnership that acquired a limestone quarry in Stone City, Iowa, and that stone may have been used for the exterior of this building. This service station was located near a southeast side residential neighborhood, commercial and industrial areas from which it could attract customers. Built in 1930, the station sold gasoline and provided a wide range of automobile related maintenance needs until 1960 when it and other local service station operators gave way to the larger chain stores. While the station originally sold its own Best Oil brand gasoline, it eventually sold national brands such as Conoco. The building features a large canopy where the pumps were located, a metal cornice, and a service bay. After its use as a service station came to an end, the building has housed several non-automobile related businesses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Marantette House is a private house located on Simpson Road in Mendon, Michigan. It is significant as an impressive vernacular version of Greek Revival architecture. Located along the St. Joseph River, it is also one of the few local examples of a riverfront orientation of a house, dating from when river traffic dominated area transportation. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>It was built for Patrick Marantette from Detroit, who settled here in the 1830s as a trader with the Potawatomi and related Indians. Marantette descendants kept the house in the family into the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1829, brothers Peter and James Godfroy from Detroit established a trading post on this site, which was then called Nottawaseepe by the local Potawatomi, who had merged with some Odawa and Ojibwa (or, Chippewa, as they were known in the United States). The brothers&#39; father, Col. Gabriel Godfroy, was the Sub-Agent of Indian Affairs for the Michigan Territory.</p><br>
<p>The Godfroys continued to live in Detroit, and appointed Frances Mouton as their agent at Nottawaseepe. The Godfroys owned a second trading post at Coldwater; their agent there was James&#39;s brother-in-law, Patrick Marantette. Also from Detroit and of French ancestry, he was said to be a descendant of the House of Navarre.</p><br>
<p>In 1833, Marantette replaced Mouton at Nottawaseepe. However, that same year the Treaty of Chicago was signed by members of the Council of Three Fires with the United States, ceding much of the territory in southwestern Michigan, including local land held by the band of Potawatomi. Although some land was left to them in the reserve, under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the US government was encouraging Native Americans to move west of the Mississippi River to Indian Territory.</p><br>
<p>In the early years, most new settlers were ethnic French from Detroit and nearby areas. After that, more Yankees started arriving from New York and New England. In 1840 the US forcibly expelled most Native Americans remaining in this area.</p><br>
<p>In 1835, Marantette married Francis Mouton, the daughter of trader Frances Mouton; it was the first European marriage in the settlement. That same year, Marantette began working on construction of this house. As was the custom, its frontage overlooks the St. Joseph River, which was the major transportation route at the time. Their daughter Elizabeth Marantette, born in 1836, was the first European American born in the township.</p><br>
<p>Marantette continued to trade and provide supplies to the local band of Indians, but in 1840, the government decided to force the Indians to move out of the area. Negotiations to effect the move were undertaken at the Marantette House. The Potawatomi were persuaded to move, and Marantette was instructed to provide them with supplies, totaling several thousand dollars. The US government failed to reimburse him for the expense until 1850, leading him to sell off much of his surrounding land to cover the costs.</p><br>
<p>Patrick and Francis Marantette raised their family in this house, and lived there until their deaths. It passed on to their descendants. Marantette family members continued to own the house through at least the early 1970s. A descendant born in Mendon, Elliot Marantette "Pete" Estes (January 7, 1916 – March 24, 1988), had a career in the automotive industry in Detroit and served as the 15th president of General Motors, from 1974 to 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Marantette House is a two-story, frame, Greek Revival house located on a bluff overlooking the St. Joseph River. The river side has porches on both stories overlooking the river. A small entryway faced the road. The windows have six over six lights.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Silliman House is a private house located at 116 South Main Street in Three Rivers, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and now houses The Historic Silliman Home and Blacksmith Shop.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Arthur Silliman was born in 1831 in White Deer Valley, Pennsylvania to Alexander Silliman. In 1845, Samuel Silliman, one of Arthurs brothers, moved to St. Joseph County and sent back glowing reports. Inspired by his sons success, Alexander Silliman moved his family to the same area in 1847. Arthur Silliman went into the blacksmith trade in the 1850s, first renting a building on Portage Avenue in Three Rivers. In 1864 he purchased two lots at the corner of Michigan and Main streets near this site, and constructed his own shop.</p><br>
<p>In 1867 Silliman sold his shop and purchased this plot of land next to the St. Joseph River. He likely constructed this house soon afterward, in about 1868. The building served both as the Silliman family home and as Arthur Silliman&#39;s blacksmith and wagon-building shop. He used the house for a number of years, and in 1903 deeded it to his daughter, Sue I. Silliman. Sue Silliman was a librarian and state historian for the Michigan Daughters of the American Revolution. Her love of history prompted her to donate the house too the city of Three Rivers just before her death in 1945.</p><br>
<p>However, the city soon sold the house to the Three Rivers World War Veterans Home Association, and it was subsequently refurbished to provide a home for the local American Legion post. In 1976 the house was sold to the General Telephone Company of Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Arthur Silliman House is located on a sloped, narrow lot on the bank of the St. Joseph River, very close to the river itself. The house is a three-story rectangular flank-gable brick structure on a fieldstone foundation measuring 40 feet by 24 feet. Because of the slope of the lot, the lowest story is exposed on the river side, but underground on the opposite side. The windows are six-over-six lights with brick, segmental arch heads.</p><br>
<p>The house as originally built contained a blacksmith&#39;s shop on the first floor, living quarters (a hall, kitchen, dining room, living room, and two bedrooms) on the second, and open storage space on the third. There were no internal staircases connecting the floors, only exterior stairs.</p><br>
<p>The Marantette Bridge, also known as the Railroad Street Bridge, is a historic vehicle bridge, now closed to traffic, located at Railroad Street over the St. Joseph River in Mendon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>One of the first settlers in Mendon was the Indian trader Patrick Marantette, who arrived in 1833 to manage a trading post located at the site of the Marantette House near this bridge on the south side of the river. The first local bridge over the St. Joseph River was constructed in 1839 about two-thirds of a mile upstream from the Marantette Bridge. In the late 1850s, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad first proposed a line through Mendon, and in anticipation, Patrick Marantette platted the portion of his land north of the river, including the current Railroad Street. There was apparently no bridge serving Railroad Street until 1873.</p><br>
<p>The 1873 bridge was replaced in 1876. The current bridge was probably built in about 1900. The bridge was constructed by the Massillon Bridge Company located in Massillon, Ohio. The bridge served vehicular traffic until 1984, when it was closed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Marantette Bridge is a single span, eight panel steel Pratt through truss bridge with pinned connections. It measures 141 feet in length and 16 feet in width, and is supported with rubble fieldstone abutments. The bridge has a wooden plank deck, now severely deteriorated, set atop steel stringers and supported by transverse girders. The upper structure is constructed of channels connected by cover plates.</p><br>
<p>The Art Gallery Building is a commercial building located at 156 South Washington Street in Constantine, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Art Gallery Building was constructed in 1877 for George I. Crossett to house his Crossett Drug Store on the first floor, along with a photographic studio on the second floor. The studios on the second floor led to the name of the building. Over time, the second floor space was occupied by photographic studios operated by Arthur Swain, G. T. Stephens, D. C. Moyer, among others up until the 1920. A series of pharmacies occupied the first floor until the 1960s. A fire in 1970 destroyed some of the lower floor trim.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Art Gallery Building is a two-story narrow-fronted red brick, Italianate commercial building, with a roof that slants slightly downward toward the back. The building is located adjacent to a small alleyway. The cast iron facade contains an arcade-like set of round-head windows topped by faux masonry. A bracketed iron cornice above has a round-gable center section inset with the building&#39;s name and date of construction.</p><br>
<p>Atop the cornice line are rectangular urns with ball finials.</p><br>
<p>The Celadon Slope Garden, also known as Hays Station, in Payette National Forest in Idaho County, Idaho in the vicinity of Warren, Idaho, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The listed site included five contributing structures and two contributing sites on 15 acre. It consists of the remains of more than 30 terraces, an irrigation ditch, a root cellar, three rock cairns, and scattered artifacts of Chinese origin.</p><br>
<p>The Sue McBeth Cabin on USA Route 12 in Idaho County, Idaho was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story 24x16 ft frame building built in 1880, with a gabled roof. It has three rooms. Its exterior is board and batten and there is an exterior chimney.</p><br>
<p>It was built for Sue McBeth and was used by her during 1880-1885 as her home and as a schoolhouse in which she taught Nez Perce people to become leaders of their church, in the absence of missionaries.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Monroe Free House in San Jose, California is a Craftsman-style how which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register for its association with Arthur Monroe Free, a United States Congressman. Free lived at the house from 1919 until his death in 1953.</p><br>
<p>However, Donald and Annie Palmer had commissioned the house in 1905 from residential designer, Emily Williams, their "adopted" daughter and partner of their daughter, Lillian McNeill Palmer. The Palmers lived there until they moved to San Francisco around 1909. Lillian Palmer had a workshop in the basement where she practiced her metal art. Emily and Lillian lived in this house on and off.</p><br>
<p>The Woodside Store also called Tripp Store, sits at 3300 Tripp Road at Kings Mountain Road, Woodside, San Mateo County, California. This building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985 It was preserved through the efforts of the San Mateo Historical Association in the 1940s. After being taken under the wing of the Association in 1979, it was subject to a substantial restoration during the mid-1980s, which was completed by 1994.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current Woodside Store was constructed in 1854 (after the 1851 version burned down) by two early pioneers named Robert Orville "Doc" Tripp and Mathias Parkhurst. Tripp was a dentist from Massachusetts that came to California during the Gold Rush. After Parkhurst&#39;s death in 1863, the store was operated by Tripp until his death in 1909, at the age of 93.</p><br>
<p>Legend has it that Tripp had a very large dog that would follow him and they are photographed together. It has been rumored that there is a ghost of his dog, haunting the Woodside Store.</p><br>
<p>The store was acquired by the County in 1940, and opened in 1947 as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Tours of the museum are arranged through the Woodside Store School Program and non-school groups can call the museum to schedule a tour.</p><br>
<p>The museum of the Woodside Store has been restored to its 1880s appearance, and you can see the types of goods available in that time period – "from canned fruit and frying pans to nails and sewing machines."</p><br>
<p>The Mitchell House is a Neo-Classical Revival Style building in Lebanon, Tennessee, that was built as a home by Dr. David Mitchell and his wife, Elizabeth. It was designed by architects Thompson, Gibel & Asmus. Construction began in 1906 and was completed in 1910 with 10,600 square feet of living space. At the time, Dr. Mitchell was the president of Cumberland University and a co-founder of Castle Heights Military Academy. Craftsmen were brought in to work on the extensive millwork and wood panelings and floors. Chandeliers were imported from Italy and rugs were imported from Austria.</p><br>
<p>While the Mitchells lived in the home, it was used for many community events and weddings. In 1919, there was a typhoid outbreak in the area and both of the Mitchells’ children became sick. Mrs. Mitchell nursed them both back to health before becoming ill with the disease herself. She died three days later at the age of 42. Dr. Mitchell was heartbroken and moved to California, leaving his children in the care of their maternal grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Smith. They lived in the house until 1923 before moving the children to Florida. The home would stay empty until 1936.</p><br>
<p>While living in California, Dr. Mitchell deeded the house to his children to keep it from being foreclosed on by creditors. The children would never live in the house and sold it to Castle Heights Military Academy in 1936.</p><br>
<p>Castle Heights turned the home into a junior school. The upstairs was remodeled into living quarters for the students and the downstairs was turned into classrooms. and it became known as MacFadden Hall. The boys who lived in the hall were known as goobers and the house was called Goober School by the students. The building would remain a junior school for fifty years, until the academy closed in 1986.</p><br>
<p>After the closure of Castle Heights, the house would be abandoned for twelve years until it was purchased by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc., in 1997. Cracker Barrel&#39;s founder, Dan Evins, was a graduate of Castle Heights and had served as chairman of the board of directors for the school while his son attended it.</p><br>
<p>Evins and Cracker Barrel set about restoring the home and found the original construction drawings. The drawings did not have details for the inside of the building so the restoration crew had to use old photos they found in yearbooks and newspapers as well as memories of former students and teachers. The restoration took less than a year to complete even though many windows, panels, and ceilings, as well as the porches, had to be replaced. Mike Manous was the architect who oversaw the restoration with a budget of $2 million.</p><br>
<p>After the restoration the building became the home of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Corporate Headquarters (CBRL Group, Inc.).</p><br>
<p>In 2013, Cracker Barrel sold the building to Sigma Pi Fraternity which used the building as its international headquarters. No purchase amount was made public but the house had been listed for $1,095,000 on loopnet.com. The fraternity had a museum and meeting spaces on the first floor with offices located on the second floor. The fraternity sold the property to the city of Lebanon on May 17, 2019, and moved its headquarters to Nashville.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed as a historic landmark by the state of Tennessee and the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Smulekoffs Furniture Store, also known as the Sinclair Building, New Sinclair Building, Warfield–Pratt–Howell Co. building and the Churchill Drug Co. building, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. In 1901 Thomas Sinclair had the original section of this five-story brick structure built. It housed the wholesale grocer Warfield–Pratt–Howell Co. and another wholesaler, the Churchill Drug Co. It was the second of several large-scale warehouse buildings that were constructed in this section of the city along the Cedar River. A spur line of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad was located at the rear of the building. Rosenbaum Furniture Store bought the building in 1925, and it was converted from warehouse use to retail. In 1941 Smulekoffs Furniture Store took over the building and renovated the main floor. They remained here until 2014. The building is slated for apartments on the upper floors and retail on the main floor. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Harper and McIntire Company Warehouse, also known as Smulekoff&#39;s Warehouse, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. Harper and Mcintire was a wholesale hardware business that was established in Ottumwa, Iowa in 1856. A branch warehouse in Cedar Rapids was begun in 1921. The four-story, brick, Commercial structure was designed by the Minneapolis architectural firm of Croft and Boerner. Cedar Rapids contractor Theodore Stark & Company and Ferro Concrete Construction Company of Cincinnati were responsible for construction. The building was completed in 1922 in an industrial area where spur lines connected it to the Fourth Street Railroad Corridor. It was originally designed as a seven-story building, but by the time it was put out for bid it was reduced to four-stories with a two-story tower that enclosed a water tank. Two additions were added to be building that facilitated the change to shipping by truck. The east side addition was completed in the 1940s, and the west side addition  was built where the railroad spur track had been located.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The St. Louis County District Courthouse is the seat of government for the northern district of St. Louis County, Minnesota, United States, located in the city of Virginia. The St. Louis County District Court is held in three locations: Duluth, Hibbing and Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The Virginia courthouse was built in Beaux-Arts style in 1910 and expanded with an architecturally sympathetic addition by the firm of Croft & Boerner in 1921. St. Louis County is large—some 6,860 square miles—and Duluth, the county seat, is at the southern end of the county, far removed from the communities of the Iron Range. Local advocacy succeeded in having a second county court district established in 1904, with cases heard in a small frame building. It was replaced by this present courthouse in 1910.</p><br>
<p>The St. Louis County District Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and politics/government. It was nominated for being the long-serving center of government on the Iron Range, a symbol of the drive for local self-governance in Minnesota and one of Virginia&#39;s best examples of Beaux-Arts architecture.</p><br>
<p>Seminole Valley Farmstead is a collection of historic farm buildings located in Seminole Valley Park on the north east</p><br>
<p>side of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The historic designation includes the farmhouse (c. 1902–1903), summer kitchen, livestock barn, tool shed, ice house, chicken house, and smokehouse. There is also a small orchard and a garden. The complex is located near a bend in the Cedar River. The farm represents a transitional period between Iowa&#39;s austere pioneer farms and the mechanized farms that developed later in the 20th century. The nearby timber was a source of raw materials for the farm, the fertile bottomland on which it is located provided rich soil for grazing and cultivation, and the smokehouse and ice house were used to preserve agricultural products for later consumption. At the same time the barn and the chicken house were more substantial than those from earlier times. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Jan F. and Antonie Janko Farmstead District is an agricultural historic district located west of Ely, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The historic buildings include a two-story, wood frame, side gable house ; a gabled basement barn ; a gabled barn ; chicken house , and a single-stall garage . The corncrib  is the historic structure. A three-stall garage  is the non-contributing structure. The farmstead is located on a hilltop and sideslope. The house sits on the highest elevation, with the outbuildings located down the slope to the west and southwest.</p><br>
<p>The first known owners of the farm were Isaac and Nancy Cox who farmed this property from at least 1859. Jan Janko settled here in 1864 and bought the property from the Coxs in 1875. From then until at least 2000 the farm has been owned by a Bohemian immigrant or a person of Bohemian descent. While the farm no longer reflects the initial settlement of Linn County, it does reflect the early settlement of Bohemian immigrants in the county. It is also significant that the original dwelling, probably a log cabin or log house, is no longer extant. Janko replaced the older house instead of adding onto it, which was more typical of the areas Bohemian immigrants.</p><br>
<p>The Josias L. and Elizabeth A. Minor Farmstead District is an agricultural historic district located northwest of Ely, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The historic buildings include a -story, T-plan, half-timbered house ; gabled barn #1 ; gabled barn #2 ; and the summer kitchen . The corncrib  is the historic structure. Family lore says that Josias Minor settled here in 1846, but an 1878 biography of him gives September 1855 as the settlement date, which is used here for dating the buildings.</p><br>
<p>The farm has always been in the Minor family, who settled here from Pennsylvania. This is a rare example of an early settlement farmstead, and it is the only one in Linn County with its original primary buildings still standing in good condition. By the early 20th century this farm was part of a cluster of Minor family farms, which reflected the pattern of family-oriented settlements in the county during this era.</p><br>
<p>The Podhajsky-Jansa Farmstead District is an agricultural historic district located southwest of Ely, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The historic buildings include two small side gabled houses ; a two-story, frame, American Foursquare house ; a gabled barn that was moved here from another farm ; and a feeder barn . One of two corncribs , a hog house , and a chicken house  are the historic structures. Another corncrib and a couple of metal sheds from the mid to late 20th century are the non-contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>While the farm dates from at least 1869, it reflects the early settlement of Bohemian immigrants in the county beginning with Joseph and Ann Podhajsky in 1877. John Podhajsky was listed as the owner in 1895, but this could be a mistake as there is no John in the family and Joseph was still alive. Frank Hyuck owned the farm from c. 1902 to 1907. Albert and Josephine Jansa bought the farm in 1907, and it remained in their family into the 1990s. The two small side gabled houses are indicative of a Bohemian immigrant farm. The older of the two was built here in the 1860s or 1870s, and is a step up from a log cabin. It was a gabled cottage with sleeping loft above. The second house was built elsewhere in the 1870s or 1880s and moved here by the Podhajskys in 1880s or 1890s and added to the original house to create a larger house. After the larger family home was built these two houses were separated and repurposed for other uses.</p><br>
<p>The Trowbridge Dairy is a property with four buildings which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The listing included four contributing buildings: a main house, two barns, and a shed. The main house was built by contractor Henry J. Wolcott in 1906. J. Frank Trowbridge bought the property in 1909 and built a large barn to house three stallion horses; he turned to dairying by 1919 and operated the property as a local dairy until driven out of business in the Depression, selling the property in 1933.</p><br>
<p>The Tobias G. Mealey House is a historic house in Monticello, Minnesota, United States. Its original section was built in 1855 by Tobias Mealey . The Mealey family made numerous additions to the house throughout the latter 19th century, and later owners added a large wing to the east. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for having local significance in the themes of commerce, exploration/settlement, and politics/government. It was nominated for its association with Mealey, an influential local settler, entrepreneur, and politician. It was delisted in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Tobias G. Mealey House stands in seclusion on a thickly vegetated hill on the outskirts of Monticellos historic core. The original section is a simple two-story frame building with gables adorned with open pediments. The main entrance was on the west façade, which was spanned at one time by a colonnaded porch. The house gradually developed a rambling, complex structure with the addition of porches, gables, chimneys, and rooms, including a kitchen and summer kitchen extending to the east, and the main entrance shifted to the southeast corner. However a consistent exterior treatment of narrow-lap clapboard maintained uniformity. Later owners added a full wing to the east, which contained a garage and antique shop at the time of the houses National Register nomination in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tobias Mealey grew up in New Brunswick, Canada, but went west in his late 20s to participate in the California Gold Rush. Returning to New Brunswick in 1852 he passed through Minnesota and liked what he saw there. Saint Paul was too well established for him and Minneapolis had yet to come into prominence, so Mealey opted to settle in Monticello, then still called Moritzious. He sited their house on a hill away from the Mississippi riverfront to get away from the boatmen and lumberjacks he deemed unsavory.</p><br>
<p>Mealey invested in several businesses, including a sawmill, two factories, and a general store, helping to grow Monticello&#39;s economy. He also farmed the property around the house. Active in politics, he served in some local judicial positions before running for office in the Minnesota Legislature as a Democrat, where he served several terms in the 1870s. He forged connections with other influential Minnesotans, selling land to Thomas Lowry for a summer home and becoming close friends with railroad magnate James J. Hill.</p><br>
<p>Tobias and Catherine Mealey had two sons and three daughters, and their growing family prompted successive additions to the house. In 1884 their daughter Susan married Rufus Rand, then vice-president of the Minneapolis Gas Light Company. As a wedding gift, the Mealeys gave the couple a large lot next to their own, upon which Susan designed the 30-room Rand House as a summer home. James J. Hill had a railroad spur constructed nearby for the convenience of his friend&#39;s wedding guests.</p><br>
<p>Tobias Mealey died in 1904, whereupon Catherine moved in with one of their daughters. The Mealey family continued to use the house as a summer home until about 1940. It stood vacant until 1947, when it was purchased by Carl and Jeanette Sebey, who undertook a restoration. After the Sebeys moved out the house suffered another period of vacancy during which it was vandalized, inhabited by skunks, and encroached on by vegetation. Antique dealers Bob and Marion Jameson purchased the property in 1965 and began restorations again. As of the 2010s, though, the house appears to be vacant once more.</p><br>
<p>The Marion Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Marion, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The historic district covers the city&#39;s central business district. The development of this area largely occurred when Marion was the county seat of Linn County . There are no county government buildings extant from this era. The city was also a division point for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.</p><br>
<p>The period of significance is from 1855, when the oldest building in the district was built, to 1957 when the area had reached the culmination of its development. Fires in 1894 and 1895 destroyed a number of buildings, and they were replaced by more stylish commercial buildings. Commercial blocks in styles popular in Late Victorian era are dominant here. Most of the buildings in the district housed commercial operations, but it also includes three houses and two churches.
