<p>Courtlandt Place, Houston is a residential subdivision consisting of a single street, south of downtown Houston, planned in 1906. Courtlandt Place is a member of the Neartown Houston Association.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Courtlandt Place is a subdivision of Houston, Texas. Courtlandt Place Historic District has been NRHP-listed since 1980, and the district includes eleven houses which carry individual NRHP-listings. "Courtlandt Place" denotes a residential boulevard, a subdivision, and a Historic District, all of which occupy the same location. The Courtlandt Improvement Company developed Courtlandt Place as a single street, gated on both ends, based on private places in St. Louis, which are designed to restrict access to non-residents. Although the company began planning and building infrastructure in 1906, the first houses were built in 1909 or 1910. The Courtlandt Improvement Association also established extensive deed restrictions which regulated house size, land use, and minimum building cost. Unlike many covenants which specified a length of tenure, Courtlandt Place restrictions were written to never expire. In addition, they prohibited all forms of commercial land use.</p><br>
<p>What made Courtlandt Place a private place was its private street. The residents owned the street, not the City of Houston, nor any other government entity. The residents faced a challenge from a developer of an adjacent neighborhood. John Wesley Link, who laid out a landscaped Montrose Boulevard with termini at Hathaway Avenue (now part of Westheimer) and Richmond Avenue, built his own mansion west of Courtlandt Place. Attracting high-dollar lot sales would be difficult without good street access to downtown. His Lovett Boulevard was blocked by a wall at the west end of Courtlandt Place, and he lobbied the City of Houston to condemn the private street in order to make it a public one. Anticipating that the City of Houston would win its suit against them, the residents of Courtlandt Place agreed to a compromise with the City of Houston near the end of 1912: they would open access to their street in exchange for city services. These included street paving and maintenance, installation of lights, and a promise to control traffic. For seventy years, Courtlandt Place remained a public street until the neighborhood paid $103,115 to the City of Houston to re-privatize the street, which allowed them to rebuild the western gate.</p><br>
<h2>History of houses and residents</h2><br>
<p>Notable architects who designed houses in the neighborhood included Birdsall Briscoe, Alfred C. Finn, John Fanz Staub, Carlos B. Schoeppl, Sanguinet & Staats, and Warren and Wetmore. Fourteen of the properties were developed between 1910 and 1916, while the other five properties were developed between 1920 and 1927.</p><br>
<h3>C. L. Neuhaus House</h3><br>
<p>The C. L. "Baron" Neuhaus House at 6 Courtlandt Place was designed in the Colonial Revival style by Sanguinet & Staats for the local banker in 1910 (NRHP-listed). This was the first home finished in the subdivision.</p><br>
<p>The house is named for Franz Charles "Charley" Ludwig Neuhaus (18571930). Originally from Hackberry, Texas, he moved to Houston in 1906, where he served as a director for the Texas Rice Mill Company and Union National Bank, and was an investment banker. He co-founded the Houston Golf Club and he joined the Houston Country Club as a charter member. He was a developer of Courtlandt Place as he was a principal of the Courtlandt Investment Company, and also served as a trustee. His wife, Emilie "Millie" Joanna Boettcher Neuhaus (18611843), came from a family of Central Texas Germans, and she hired cooks who knew the food of this culture. As a child, Millie left Texas to attend school in Germany.</p><br>
<h3>Sterling Myer House</h3><br>
<p>The Sterling Myer House at 4 Courtlandt Place (NRHP-listed) was another home built in 1910 by Sanguinet & Staats. Sterling Myer (1872—1938), from Plantersville, Texas, was the managing partner of the Courtlandt Improvement Company. He was a partner with the legal firm Campbell and Myer, which also represented Courtlandt Place until 1912. Sterling and his wife Alice Bentley Myer (1873—1968) resided there for just a few years.</p><br>
<h3>A. S. Cleveland House</h3><br>
<p>The A. S. Cleveland House at 8 Courtlandt Place (NRHP-listed) was built by Alfred C. Finn and Sanguinet & Staats in 1911. The Colonial Revival includes some Italian Renaissance details. However, another source credits design to A.E. Barnes with Sanguinet & Staats. John Staub executed a commission in 1929 to redesign the interiors. Staub added a first floor dressing room, and decorated the living room with birch paneling and the fireplace with marble cladding.</p><br>
<p>Alexander Sessums "Sess" Cleveland (18711954) was a son of W.D. Cleveland, the owner of the leading grocery and cotton factoring house in Houston.</p><br>
<p>The elder Cleveland&#39;s business later fell into distress, but two of his sons were able to cover his debts. Sess sold the cotton factoring house, prior to falling prices for the commodity during the 1920s. He married Virginia Cunningham (18751965) of Savannah, Georgia in 1896. The couple lived in this house from 1911 to 1950. Cleveland was a cotton factor and grocer in Houston. He was also a civic leader, serving as president of the American Red Cross (Houston Chapter), president of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, trustee for Rice University and University of the South, and served on the Houston school board. Their daughter and their son-in-law, William A. Kirkland, moved into this house sometime in the 1950s. The Kirklands previously resided 10 Courtlandt Place.</p><br>

Autry House (Courtlandt Place, Houston), 5 Courtlandt Place, was a house designed and built for James Lockhart Autry, II by the Houston office of Sanguinet & Staats in 1912 (NRHP-listed). The house is still used as a residence and is NRHP-listed. Autry was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi in 1859 and moved to Texas in 1876. Autry served as a general counsel for Joseph Cullinan&#39;s oil ventures, following Cullinan to the Texas Company, better known as Texaco.

<h3>J. J. Carroll House</h3><br>
<p>The J.J. Carroll House at 16 Courtlandt Place (NRHP-listed) was built in the neoclassical style by Birdsall Briscoe in 1912. However, another account claims that Carroll himself used a pattern design for the house, the only home in Courtlandt Place which was not a custom design. In 1924, the Carrolls commissioned Briscoe to make extensive enhancements to the interior.</p><br>
<p>The house is named for Judson J. Carroll (18771938), who married Lena Carter (18791971), a daughter of W.T. and Maude Carter, and a sister of Frankie Carter Randolph, all Courtlandt Place residents. Judson had worked as an executive for the Carter Lumber Company, but he is better known as an expert avocationist on regional ornithology, and won awards for his photography in the field. He was an advocate for protecting coastal environments for birds, and was honored with the naming of Carroll Island, along the southern Texas coast. For a time, his house served as a regional office for the Audubon Society. The house was restored in the 1970s.</p><br>
<h3>W. T. Carter Jr. House</h3><br>
<p>The W. T. Carter Jr. House at 18 Courtlandt Place (NRHP-listed) was also designed by Birdsall Briscoe in 1912, and was the only home in Courtlandt Place built in the Prairie style. Briscoe collaborated with Olle J. Lorehn.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for W. T. "Bill" Carter Jr. (18871957) and Lillie Neuhaus Carter (18901966). Bill was both the nephew and adopted son of W. T. Carter Sr., of 14 Courtlandt Place. Starting in 1919, Bill assumed the management of W. T. Carter&#39;s banking and real estate interests, and later built a formidable real estate empire of his own, including his Carter Investment Company.

In 1918, Frankie married Aubrey&#39;s college classmate, Robert Decan "Deke" Randolph (18911989). Prior to their union Deke served the United States Naval Air Corps in France. In 1920, Deke and Frankie Randolph Carter moved their family to her parents’ home at 14 Courtlandt Place. Deke entered the family business, working for the Carter Lumber Company. After 1924, he began a long career in banking. Frankie Carter Randolph was a founding member of the Houston Junior League and the League of Women Voters.

<p>The JonesHunt House at 24 Courtlandt Place (NRHP-listed) was built in 1920. Alfred C. Finn, this time commissioning residential work with his own firm, moved an 1890 Victorian structure to the site and added brick cladding to recreate it in a Spanish-mode. In all, Finn performed architectural work on three properties in the neighborhood, two while he worked for Sanguinet & Staats, and the Jones-Hunt House, which was designed by his own firm.</p><br>
<p>Sarah Brashear Jones was the mother of Murray Brashear Jones, who moved into the house next door in 1925. She purchased the lot from Captain James Addison Baker.

<p>The Murray D. Van Wagoner Memorial Bridge is a bridge carrying M-156 over Silver Creek in Morenci, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Morenci was founded in 1852 and served as an important industrial and grain mill center. At one point, a 40 ft Pratt pony truss was constructed at this site. However, by the early 1930s, this bridge was in very poor condition. In 1935, the state of Michigan entered into a cooperative venture with the Taft Memorial Highway Association, which had been founded in 1930 to create a memorial highway extending from Florida to Michigan to honor William Howard Taft. Part of the venture involved replacing the bridge at this location.</p><br>
<p>The state hired Monroe-based W.H. Knapp Company to construct the bridge at a cost of $35,700 (equivalent to $ in ). The bridge was dedicated on July 31, 1935, and featured a speech by Murray Van Wagoner, after whom the city council had named the bridge. Van Wagoner was the head of the Michigan State Highway Department from 1933 until 1940, when he was elected governor.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was rehabilitated in 2000. In 2004, the 1893 Sterling Road truss bridge was relocated from Hillsdale County to the adjacent site for use as a crossing on the pedestrian trail.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge is 45 ft long and carries a span with a 41.4 ft deck with a 33 ft roadway bordered by sidewalks. The deck is edged by railings made of concrete posts with ornamental metal lattice sections fixed in between. Approach railings are bolted to the inner face of each endpost. The substructure of the bridge is made up of concrete abutments and wing walls with a decorative stepped motif.</p><br>
<p>The Wallace Historic District, which is roughly bounded by Oak, Silver, C, Mullan, Canyon, Fir, and 1st Sts. in Wallace in Shoshone County, Idaho, is a historic district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The listing was modified twice later. The Wallace Historic District was designated as part of a highway revolt to prevent Interstate 90 from being built and destroying the historic center of Wallace.</p><br>
<p>The original listing was an 8 acre area roughly bounded by Pine, Bank, 5th and 7th Sts. It included 485 contributing buildings, many built during 1890–91. It included Classical Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Late Victorian and vernacular architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Wallace Historic District was modified by a Boundary Increase listing in 1983. The modified district includes about 500 residences, plus the Carnegie library (separately listed as Wallace Carnegie Library) and other non-residential buildings in Wallace.</p><br>
<p>The 100 acre increase included 301 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>There was also a boundary decrease, with refnum 90000360, of March 14, 1990.</p><br>

<p>The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>S. Walker&#39;s Hotel, also known as the Brick Walker Tavern, is a former hotel/tavern located at 11705 US-12 in Cambridge Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sylvester and Lucy Walker were married in New Berlin, New York in 1816. By the mid-1830s, they had moved to Cooperstown, New York where they ran the Union Hall hotel. In about 1838, they moved to Michigan and likely leased the inn and tavern located across the road from this site from the owner, Calvin Snell. At the time, traffic along what was then called the Chicago Road was increasing, as it was the primary route between Detroit and Chicago. In 1842, the Walkers purchased the tavern, renaming it the Walker Tavern. The Walkers continued to run the older, frame tavern until 1853. However, in that year, Walker augmented his business by beginning construction on a new brick hotel at the present site. The Walker Tavern still stands today.</p><br>
<p>The new building was completed in late 1852 and it had a separate dining room and taproom on the first floor, guest rooms on the second floor, and a ballroom on the third floor. The Walkers continued to own both the frame Walker Tavern and the new hotel until 1863. Although the Chicago Road saw a decrease in traffic due to the construction of railroad lines in southern Michigan, the Walkers were likely able to stay in business thanks to their taproom, which catered to residents. In 1859, Walker sold the hotel to Silas Giles of Detroit but remained living in the hotel until he died in 1868.</p><br>
<p>Silas Giles sold the hotel to William Graves and George Curtis in 1863, who in turn sold it to Lyman Nearing later that same year. Lyman Nearing was born in 1817 in Lafayette, New York, and moved to Michigan just before purchasing the hotel. In 1864, he married Jane Turner, and the couple moved into the hotel. In 1865, they changed the name to the Nearing House and owned and managed the establishment until 1887, when the mortgage was foreclosed and he lost the hotel. Walker B. Sherman purchased the hotel at the sheriff&#39;s sale, and after he died in 1892, it was sold to Edwin B. Culver. The hotel was sold again in 1898 to Frank Fitzgerald, and in 1900 to George Burton. Burton owned and managed the hotel until 1922 but with mixed success.</p><br>
<p>In 1922, Frederick Hewitt purchased the property. Hewitt was born in England in 1876, and emigrated to Canada in 1891. He eventually received a degree in theology from Huron College in 1899, and took a position at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Detroit, staying until 1905. Over the next decade, he took positions at various churches throughout Michigan. Hewitt was charismatic and a skilled orator, and made numerous friends; among them were Alex J. Groesbeck, who went on to become governor of Michigan, and auto magnate Henry Ford.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1920s, Hewitts interests began to turn toward antiques. He was familiar with the Irish Hills area, having served a stint at St. Peters Episcopal Church in Tecumseh. In 1920, he purchased a cottage at Evans Lake and opened an antique shop. In 1922, he purchased both the wooden Walker Tavern and Walker&#39;s Hotel. He refurbished the hotel and continued to rent out rooms and run a restaurant on the premises, but he also added an antique shop to the building. In 1926, Chicago Road had been paved, drawing an influx of tourists, and Hewitt realized that the antiques business was a sufficient money-maker. He ceased providing means and rooms and turned to antiques full-time. Here, his influential friends paid off, as both Alex Groesbeck and Henry Ford visited the antique store regularly, with the latter purchasing many items for his Greenfield Village museum. Other clients included University of Michigan football coach Fielding Yost (as well as other UM faculty), and the wife of the poet Robert Frost.</p><br>
<p>Hewitt&#39;s antique business was so successful that he opened two more shops, one in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1924, and one in Chicago in 1929. He then purchased the Springville Inn a few miles from the hotel. In 1930, he built a home near the wooden Walker Tavern, and in 1931 opened the entire Brick Tavern to the public as a combination antique shop and museum. In 1934, due to the Great Depression, Hewitt sold his subsidiary stores and concentrated on managing the Springville Inn. He turned over the management of the wooden tavern to his daughter and her husband, Forest Keith, and turned over the brick hotel to his son, James, to run as an antique shop.</p><br>
<p>In 1965, the Hewitts sold the wooden tavern to the state of Michigan, and in 1967 sold the brick hotel to antique dealers Nells and Joseph Schmidt. Since that time, the building has been operated by various people as an antique shop. In the mid-2000s, it was purchased by Tom Lee, who restored it to operate as a wedding and event center known as the Brick Walker Tavern.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>S. Walker&#39;s Hotel is a three-story, side-gable building with a symmetrical five-bay front facade with a center entrance, displaying both Greek Revival and Italianate architectural elements. It is constructed of solid, load-bearing red brick walls with yellow-brownish sandstone trim. A two-story ell projects from the rear. The eaves of the shallow roof are supported by regularly spaced brackets, and two brick chimneys are placed at either end of the roof.</p><br>
<p>The front facade contains a center entrance with two windows on either side; the entryway itself contains sidelights and a transom above. The stories above each contain six regularly spaced windows, unaligned with the first story openings. Each side elevations contain four windows in each story. Nearly all the windows are six-over-six double-hung units, many with original glazing. Sandstone lintels cap all the windows.</p><br>
<p>The building is set very close to the highway, and upon a slight rise, with a concrete retaining wall supporting the hillock. Opposite the highway, the hill falls away, exposing the basement story of the hotel. Across the highway is the wooden Walker Tavern, now part of the Cambridge Junction Historic State Park. Three historically contributing outbuildings are also located on the property, two board and batten barns dating from c. 1870, and one board-sided barn constructed in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Big Creek Schoolhouse, also known as Polk City Schoolhouse and Polk City City Hall, is a historic building located in Polk City, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1863 when the community was known as Big Creek. It is the work of master builder John Adam Schall, who was able to adapt heavy timber framing for the construction of the two-story Greek Revival structure. It served as a schoolhouse and community center from the time it was built until 1893. It became Polk City&#39;s city hall the following year, and continued to serve as a community center. A full-size addition was completed on the back of the building in 1915. Two one-story additions were constructed later in the 20th century. A frame addition was built in 1964 on the southwest corner of the main block, and a frame lean-to was added onto the north elevation in 1984. In 1966 the outside staircase, which was the only way to access the second floor, was removed.</p><br>
<p>Unused portions of the first floor and the whole second floor of the building was leased to the Big Creek Historical Society, which converted the space into a museum. Restoration took place from 2005 to 2009. The rest of the building continues to serve as city hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Coughanour Apartment Block was an apartment building in Payette, Idaho The building was built in three stages, in 1902, 1905, and 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story building with brick pilasters, a brick cornice, tin pediments and pressed tin plaques.</p><br>
<p>The building was demolished in 1985 and no longer exists.</p><br>
<p>The Valley Junction-West Des Moines City Hall and Engine House is a historic building located in West Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Valley Junction was incorporated in 1893, and it was named for the junction of three lines of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad where it was located. This two-story brick building was constructed to house the community&#39;s city hall and fire station, even though the fire department would not be established until 1905. The fire station was located on the first floor, and the city hall was located on the second floor. It was located a block north of the train depot. An interurban railway connected the town to Des Moines, and its proximity to the Iowa coal fields contributed to its growth. By 1911 the town grew to be the second largest community in Polk County, and its name was changed to West Des Moines by 1940.</p><br>
<p>The Camp Dodge Pool District, also known as the Camp Dodge Swimming Pool Complex, is a nationally recognized historic district located in Johnston, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It consisted of a 2,300,000 gal swimming pool, a bathing pavilion, and a concession stand. The complex was built at Camp Dodge, the headquarters of the Iowa National Guard. When it was completed in 1922, the pool could accommodate between 1,000 and 2,000 people and it may have been the largest in the country. The following year, however, a larger pool was built in San Francisco.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The swimming pool complex was designed by the architectural firm of Pearse, Robinson & Sprague. The pool was built by Stark and Knotts, and the single-story stuccoed pavilion was built by Sugarman Construction Company. They were completed for $33,102. It was always intended that the pool would be used by the local community outside of the National Guard&#39;s annual encampment. It was thought it was inappropriate for the Guard to operate a public pool so the Play Ground Association of Des Moines agreed in 1923 to operate the pool when the Guard was not using it. The concrete block concession stand was built in the 1930s as a Works Project Administration project. It was designed by William N. Nielsen. The significance of the pool complex is based on its association with the value of recreation for both the military and the local community.</p><br>
<h2>Closure</h2><br>
<p>The Camp Dodge Pool closed normally for the season in fall of 2001, and never reopened. It is not fully known why it never reopened, most likely operating costs were getting too high, or the death of a young teenage boy at the pool a few years prior. For 7 years the pool sat empty and abandoned, until the basin was filled in with dirt and turned into an outdoor amphitheater. Many residents expressed their dismay at the decision, as the city no longer had a public option to swim. As of January 2023, the only non-backyard option for swimming is at a nearby private country club.</p><br>
<p>The William W. and Elizabeth J. Ainsworth House, also known as the Catholic Worker House and the Dingman House, is an historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Ainsworth was a Des Moines businessman who was engaged in various professional occupations. His wife Elizabeth took title to this property in 1886, and they built this 2-story, frame, Queen Anne house in what was then the suburban community of North Des Moines. It features a hip roof, intersecting gables, a front porch, an enclosed porch in the back, and 2-story bay windows on the south and east elevations. Built as a single-family dwelling, it is now a half-way house for social services operated by the Catholic Worker Movement. The house calls attention to the increased importance of North Des Moines as a residential neighborhood for business and professional people in the late 19th-century Des Moines area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>

<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The James L. Autry House was designed by Alfred C. Finn working under the commission of Sanguinet & Staats in 1912. The house is located at 5 Courtlandt Place, which is a private street in Houston. The house is next door to a greenhouse and tennis courts at 3 Courtlandt Place, a property that was developed at the same time as the main house.</p><br>
<p>Finn designed the two and a half story Neoclassical Revival structure to be supported with a wood frame. This cubic area defines the main part of the house, fronted by a half-moon Doric portico, which is supported by in the front by two small Doric columns. The portico fronts a double-gallery with balustrades, where the front of the double-gallery is defined by four large, fluted Doric columns. The front of the hipped roof includes two wide dormers with multiple-paned sash, and the sides of the main part of the house are graced by two exposed brick chimneys. Also flanking the main part of the house are a porte-cochere and a sun room, both capped with balustrades, and preserving the overall symmetry of the structure. Autry had requested that the design emulate a house he had seen in Corsicana, Texas. Construction costs totaled $40,686.</p><br>
<h2>Biography</h2><br>
<p>The house is named for its first owner, James Lockhart Autry, who was general counsel for the Texas Company, now better known as Texaco. He was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi on November 4, 1859, and first moved to Texas in order to manage a ranch in Navarro County. He apprenticed to an attorney in Corsicana, Texas before his admission to the bar in 1880. After forming a law firm with W.J. McKie, Autry began a long business relationship with Joseph S. Cullinan. In 1904, just two years after Spindletop, he followed Cullinan to Beaumont, Texas to work for the Texas Fuel Company, where Cullinan tapped him to serve as general counsel. A year later, Cullinan reorganized his firm, which became the Texas Company, for which Autry served as a founding director and general counsel. Once again, Autry followed Cullinan when the Texas Company moved its headquarters to Houston in 1908. Cullinan, Autry, and Will C. Hogg all resigned in 1913 to form their own partnership, which established several new companies, just a year after Autry established his residence at 5 Courtlandt Place. In 1915, he suffered a debilitating stroke. He died in 1920, survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son, who all remained in the house, which remained in family hands until its sale in 1938.</p><br>
<p>The Blissfield Downtown Historic District is a historic district located in the village of Blissfield, Michigan, and roughly bounded by Pearl Street on the west, Giles Avenue on the east, Jefferson Street on the south, and Adrian Street and the Blissfield railroad line on the north. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Blissfield Downtown Historic District contains 44 historically contributing structures, and eight non-contributing. The district is bisected by the River Raisin, with buildings on each side. The structures date back to 1875, with much of the development occurring in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The district contains the bulk of the structures used in Blissfield&#39;s commercial activities during that time, as well as prominent business and professional offices, entertainment venues, fraternal organizations, and other recreational structures. The buildings are primarily brick structures of one to three stories in height, set close to each other and the sidewalk. The buildings in the district representing the prevailing styles in commercial architecture during the period in which they were built, including Italianate, Late Victorian, Arts and Crafts and Commercial Brick structures, several of which are outstanding and well-preserved examples of these styles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Blissfield was originally settled in 1825, and brew slowly over the next few decades. The arrival of the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad in the late 1830s spurred some development, but it was not until the 1860s and 1870s, when surrounding landowners began an extensive program of land clearing, that the settlement enlarged substantially. Blissfield incorporated as a village in 1875, and the same year a disastrous fire swept through the commercial district, destroying nearly all the buildings. The earliest buildings in the current district date to the rebuilding after the fire. In 1884, the village mandated that all new buildings in the business district be fireproof.</p><br>
<p>The downtown continued to grow through the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th. Farther into the 20th century, the village&#39;s economy transitioned from agricultural to industrial. After World War II. there was a building boom, but as with many small towns, the 1950s and 60s saw a slow decline in the commercial district as businesses closed or moved elsewhere. However, the Blissfield business district reinvented itself, transitioning to antique stores, gift shops, craft centers, and other specialty shops which attracted an out-of-town clientele. This business model continued into the 21st century.</p><br>

Built from 1901 to 1902, it is a two-story structure that features balloon frame construction with brick veneer. It was designed in the Colonial Revival style by the Des Moines architectural firm of Smith & Gutterson. Its significance is attributed to its location on the Sixth Avenue streetcar route "to capitalize on the</p><br>
<p>appeal of public transportation." It was one of the first multiple-family rental properties along the avenue, and it was built for upper-middle class occupancy. It was part of the movement toward denser residential use in this area of the city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Walter M. Bartlett Double House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1913, the two-story structure features balloon frame construction. The Neoclassical style building originally had a large portico on the main facade that has been covered over. The window in the pediment is still visible. In addition to its architecture, its significance is attributed to its location on the Sixth Avenue streetcar route. It was part of the development of the area from single-family dwellings to denser residential use. It is also a subtype of the double house called a "two-unit flat", also known as a</p><br>
<p>"double-decker." The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The William A. and Etta Baum Cottage is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1891, the 1½-story structure features a gable-end facade, brick foundation, and a small front porch with a gable-end roof. It is considered a good example of the gable-on-hip subtype of the Queen Anne cottage. There were only a few that were built with 1½-stories as most were two-stories. Its significance is based on how it demonstrates that a modest-sized dwelling can embrace the picturesque design. The cottage was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Ezra Allred Bungalow in Paris, Idaho was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a -story brick-and-frame house with a front-facing gable. The brick is buff-colored.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "as one of Paris&#39; handsomest and most substantial bungalows. It is one of the relatively few in brick; it projects the characteristic features of the bungalow type while retaining a curiously Queen Anne quality in its combination of textures and imaginative fenestration. The use of narrow ceiling and larger strips on the very large gable like that on the similar Fred Price bungalow (site #67) is a bold example of a device pecularily popular in bungalows. The lattice-like gable apron, and the beveled bay, are unique elements."</p><br>
<p>The Byron A. Beeson House, also known as Mission Temple Academy, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built c. 1890, the 2½-story structure features balloon frame construction, a complex roof system, and wrap-around front porch. Its flared cornice is considered unusual. It was originally a single-family dwelling that later became and education facility associated with the Church of God in Christ. It is also associated with Byron A. Beeson who served as Treasurer of Iowa from 1891 to 1895, and as Adjutant General of the Iowa National Guard around the same time. The house&#39;s significance is derived from its location in suburban North Des Moines and its complex roof system. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. A stable along the alley behind the house shares the historic designation.</p><br>
<p>The Hill McClelland Bell House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built 1902, the 2½-story structure features a rectangular plan, a gable front, and a wrap-around porch. Decorative elements include wood shingles in the gable end, and some of the windows have a diamond mullion pattern. The house&#39;s significance is derived from its association with Hill McClelland Bell, president of Drake University from 1902 to 1918. This was a period of</p><br>
<p>dramatic growth for the college. It was during his tenure that the institution was accredited with the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, the establishment of a faculty pension, an increase in the school&#39;s endowment, a decrease in its debts, eminent professors joined the faculty, and several colleges were reorganized. Enrollment increased during this period of time, and five significant buildings were built on campus. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Austin Eli Wing was born in 1792 in Conway, Massachusetts, and graduated from Williams College in 1814. Lewis Cass and William Woodbridge convinced Wing to move to the Michigan Territory, where he joined Woodbridge&#39;s law firm. He was appointed sheriff of the territory, and served as a delegate from the Michigan Territory to the US House of Representatives from 1825 to 1829 and 1831–33. In 1828, Wing purchased the property on which this house now stands. It is uncertain when the house itself was constructed, but it could have been as early as 1829. Wing and his wife Harriet lived in the house until 1844, when they passed it on to their son, Talcott E. Wing. Austin Wing died in 1849.</p><br>
<p>Talcott E. Wing was born in 1819, and moved with his parents to Monroe in 1829. He graduated from Williams College in 1840, and in 1844, the same year he moved into this house, he was admitted to the bar in Michigan. He ran a law practice from 1849 until about 1857 with Ira R. Grosvenor, and in 1864 was elected probate judge. He was also elected president of the Michigan Historical Society in 1888 and 1889. Talcott Wing lived in this house until his death in 1890, and his estate sold in 1892.</p><br>
<p>Ellen J. Hall owned the house from 1892 to 1899, then sold it to nurseryman Theodore E. Ilgenfritz. Theodore was the son of Israel Ilgenfritz, a Monroe pioneer and nationally known nurseryman who had settled in Monroe in 1847. Theodore was born in 1856, attended Albion College, and married Kate La Fontaine in 1878. He joined his fathers firm in 1884. The couple moved into this house in 1899, and lived there until Theodores death in 1919 and Kate&#39;s in 1935.</p><br>
<p>In 1937, morticians Earle Little and Frank Weber leased the house from the Ilgenfritz estate, renovated the property, and at the beginning of 1938 opened a mortuary. Later that year, Frank Weber, Eli Allore, and Gus Beam formed a partnership and purchased the house, reopening as the Allore, Beam and Weber Mortuary. Eli Allore, the driving force behind the firm, was born in 1907, and in 1925 joined Frank Weber&#39;s firm of Nadeau and Weber Undertaking. He was elected county coroner in 1932, then in 1933 partnered with Gus Beam. Allore, Beam and Weber Mortuary continued until the early 1940s; Beam left the firm in 1943 and Weber retired in 1945. Allore bought out the other partners, keeping the business in his name. Eli retired in 1973 after a stroke and sold the business to his son Robert Allore. Robert Allore operated the business and lived in the apartment above the funeral home with his wife until 1994, when he retired and sold the firm. The Martenson Family Funeral Homes of Trenton, Michigan purchased the house and business in 1994, retaining the Allore name.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original part of the Wing–Allore House, dating from approximately 1829, is a two-story, red brick, gable-front Italianate structure. Smaller additions were built on the side and rear at some point during ht 19th century, and further additions, mostly complementary flat-roofed structures, were added after 1939 when the house was converted to a funeral parlor. The complete structure now encompasses 9190 square feet.</p><br>

<p>The Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines Building, also known as American Federal Savings and the Catholic Pastoral Center, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1962, it is considered to be "one of the most well-known examples of mid-century modern architecture in Des Moines."</p><br>
<p>It was designed by the prominent Chicago architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and it is one of the first steel and glass modernist buildings in the citys downtown. Initially, the roof was designed to be suspended from two lengthwise trusses, similar van der Rohes designs at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. That design was abandoned for a simpler and more direct design that features a steel-frame, glass-infill, and granite and travertine marble on the base. The three-story building rises to the height of 40.25 ft.</p><br>
<p>It was built for the Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines and later American Federal Savings, which failed in 1990 amid the country&#39;s savings and loan crisis. There was concern that the building would be torn down, so the Des Moines City Council designated it as a local landmark. In 1992 philanthropist Ed Ochylski acquired it and donated it to the Diocese of Des Moines, which converted it into its headquarters. From 2016 to 2017, the building underwent a $10 million renovation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The King&#39;s Field House is a historic house at 827 North Street in Suffield, Connecticut. Built about 1723 by the son of an early settler, it is a well-preserved example of 18th-century residential architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The King&#39;s Field House stands in a rural suburban area north of the village center of Suffield, on the west side of North Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The rear roof line of the main block descends to the first floor, giving the house a classic saltbox profile. A modern gable-roofed addition projects to the rear (north) of the main block. The interior exhibits evidence of three periods of development, all in the 18th century: the timber framing is stylisting from the late First Period (1720s), parlor spaces have been decorated with later Georgian wood paneling, and the main entrance surround, a late 18th-century proto-Federalist surround with a false fanlight.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1723 by Lieutenant William King. King was the son of James King, one of Suffield&#39;s early colonial settlers, and was given the surrounding acreage in 1722. King was a major local landowner who was active in civic affairs, serving as a town selectman for many years. Later generations of Kings also lived here, operating diverse businesses including a blacksmith shop and a cooperage. The house underwent restoration in the 1930s by Delphina Clark, the first woman admitted to the Yale School of Architecture and a one-time resident of the house. The house was restored in the 1930s by Delphina Hammer Clark, author of Pictures of Suffield Houses (1940) and Notebooks on Houses in Suffield (1960). The house is now a Bed & Breakfast called Kingsfield.</p><br>
