The Tueller house was also L-shaped with identical disposition of openings, including the gabled upper door."</p><br>
<p>The John Sutton House, located at 140 Main St. in Paris, Idaho, was built in 1880. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a -story, shiplap-sided frame house "with an I-house profile."</p><br>
<p>The house is "architecturally significant as a variation on the I-house, rare in Paris, and for its unique and distinctly handmade ornament. In basic plan, this house conforms to the I-house type, a form found throughout Idaho, but noticeably concentrated in areas of Mormon settlement."</p><br>
<p>The Dr. John B. and Anna M. Hatton House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The house is significant for its suburban architecture in the former suburb of North Des Moines, especially the canted bay subtype of the Stick Style with Italianate influence.

<p>The Orson Grimmett Bungalow was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed "locally significant for its association with a prominent local builder whose work is still visible in Paris and surrounding towns. Grimmett also owned and operated the Star Confectionery, a 1920s soda fountain. His house at Twenty-eight West Second North, which he built himself, is a strikingly unpretentious, simple plan. The standard bungalow shape is only slightly embellished with purlins and brackets, and the shallow bays and dormers do little to deny the buildings boxy massing. Like the Paris LDS Seminary that Grimmett built during this period, the Grimmett bungalow belies a conservative, formulaic, and classicizing bent in LDS architecture, which may be traced from the nineteenth century folk architecture through the twentieth century forms. The Grimmett bungalow is architecturally significant as an owner-built expression of this Mormon esthetic."</p><br>
<p>The William B. Hayes House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

<p>The Wallentine Farmstead near Paris, Idaho is an I-house which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "architecturally significant as an excellent and nearly prototypical example of the I-house form as found in the Mormon West and as a component of a particularly fine farmstead, sited well." It has a row of gabled dormers and an upper door, similar to those on the Stucki House (also listed on the National Register), and these "are said to be the Mormon variant of the one-and-one-half-story, four room type."</p><br>
<p>The property includes a barn with attached corral, a granary, a shed, and an outhouse.</p><br>
<p>Soda Springs City Hall, located at 109 S. Main St. in Soda Springs, Idaho was built in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as Soda Springs City Police Station. The building was deemed "historically significant as it is the only extant building associated with the early village government of one of Idahos oldest cities, and which housed the civic offices for three quarters of a century. Architecturally, it is one of the few remaining examples of a vernacular style using lava rock, an abundant local building material. It is also one of the few remaining buildings with a boomtown false front, although this was once a prevalent feature of Soda Springs commercial streetscape." It Currently is the local scout house for boys and girls.</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt Park is a historic park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties The park was built between 1933 and 1935 by manual laborers employed by President Franklin D. Roosevelts New Deal programs, turning a sandy arroyo filled with garbage into a rolling, grassy landscape planted with over 2,000 trees and bushes. It has long been one of the citys most popular gathering and recreation areas, although it also developed a reputation as a dangerous area beginning in the 1960s. The park received a major renovation in 2006–7.</p><br>
<h2>Landscape</h2><br>
<p>Roosevelt Park occupies an irregularly shaped, 14 acre plot south of Coal Avenue between Spruce and Maple Streets. The northern part of the park is bounded by city streets, while the southern part is surrounded by a paved drive which is no longer open to traffic. The park terrain consists of a series of irregular hollows, mostly sitting below the level of the surrounding streets, with a vertical relief of about 50 ft between the lowest and highest points. The main canopy is formed by mature Siberian elm trees up to 80 ft in height, with other vegetation including juniper, blue spruce, and catalpa trees and bushes scattered throughout.</p><br>
<p>Amenities at the park include a playground and disc golf course.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1930s, Albuquerque was experiencing rapid growth east of Downtown in the area then known as the East Mesa. The idea of building a park in the growing eastern suburbs was supported by Clyde Tingley, who was the Chairman of the City Commission at the time and was an advocate of parks and other civic improvements.</p><br>
<p>Tingley pieced together land for the project from one block of the Terrace Addition, which he persuaded the developer to donate, and an adjacent parcel belonging to Albuquerque Public Schools. The chosen site was a sandy arroyo which had previously been used as a landfill.</p><br>
<p>The park was built between 1933 and 1935 by local laborers working for the Civil Works Administration (CWA), Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), and Works Progress Administration (WPA)—federal employment programs created as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt&#39;s New Deal. The total cost of the project was about $120,000. Originally known as Terrace Park, it was renamed for Roosevelt in 1934.</p><br>
<p>Although one of Albuquerque&#39;s most popular gathering places, Roosevelt Park developed a reputation as a dangerous area during the 1960s and 70s, with numerous violent incidents as well as ongoing issues with drug use and underage drinking. Nearby residents petitioned for improved lighting and a curfew in 1965, citing nighttime disturbances "ranging from shouts to screaming and calls for help". The ongoing trouble at Roosevelt Park and other city parks led the Albuquerque Police Department to establish an undercover "park patrol" unit in the late 1960s. Relations between the police and park-goers were tense, leading to incidents of rock-throwing and finally a full-blown riot in 1971 after police tried to arrest some teenagers for drinking beer in the park. The riot spread across the city, ultimately causing over $3 million in damage and 41 injuries.</p><br>
<p>Another much-publicized violent incident occurred in 1992, when three people were injured by gunfire during a barbecue being held by the well-known rapper MC Hammer and his entourage. By 2003 the park was still considered unsafe by neighborhood residents, and its physical condition had deteriorated significantly as well. This led the city to embark on a $2 million renovation project which included pruning trees, replacing the irrigation system, installing a playground and jogging path, and landscaping work. The project was completed in summer 2007 after 10 months of work. The park has continued to be associated with protests and activism, including hosting a large demonstration against police brutality in 2014.</p><br>

It was built by local contractor-builder Detwiler and Bedford in 1889 as speculative housing. Most residential construction in Des Moines was in small developments between about 1880 and 1941, and this house was a part of one such development. This 2½-story frame structure shows its Stick Style influence with a hip and gabled roof, decorative trussed attic balconies that are supported by large decorative brackets, wide bracketed overhanging eaves, and wood clapboard walls with decorative patterns of horizontal boards. The property also contains a barn from the same time period, but it has been significantly altered over the years and now serves as a garage.

<p>The Jedd Jones House in Malad City, Idaho was built in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination asserts:The wider architectural significance of the house stems from the impression of quality evinced by its precise and well-preserved rendering and architectural detail. It is as fine an example as any in the state—its effectiveness in this regard is reduced only by the overall white paint which obscures the modestly polychromatic exterior which the red brick together with the white gables would once have displayed—of what we have called the Queen-Anne-goingWestern-Colonial-style, That is, it illustrates very aptly the movement from the asymmetrical and visually elaborate Queen-Anne style, which was popular in Idaho&#39;s upper-class residential architecture during the last decade of the 19th century, and towards the more symmetrical and severe Western Colonial, which was popular throughout the state in the first decade of the twentieth; the transitional and later styles are more prevalent in slower-developing, agrarian southeast Idaho than is the earlier one.</p><br>
<p>Eagar Townsite Historic District is a section of the town of Eagar, Arizona which has been designated a National Historic Place. Sitting on roughly 54 acres, the site contains 37 structures, 21 of which have historical significance. The period of significance is from 1886, the year the townsite was founded, through 1942, which represents the significant period of development of the town. The site was added to the Register on July 23, 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaders in Salt Lake City consolidated the Omer and Amity wards into the Union Ward in 1886, the ward was centered on the newly formed townsite of Eagar. The town had been founded by three brothers: John T., William, and Joel Eagar. The Eager brothers had come to the Round Valley area along the Little Colorado in 1879, settling near Springerville in 1882. By 1885 they had relocated further south to the land which would become Eagar. The original townsite was divided as per the Mormon City of Zion concept. That concept was for every square mile was broken up into ten-acre square blocks separated by streets of 132 foot widths. The blocks were then further divided into half-acre lots, each 66 feet wide, creating 20 lots, ten on a side. While Eagar followed the general concept, the blocks and streets were slightly smaller, approximately 500 foot square and 90 foot wide, respectively. An irrigation system was developed, utilizing water from the Little Colorado River by way of the "Big Ditch" canal. The irrigation system is one of the most extensive of any Mormon community in Arizona. In approximately 1890 the oldest structure still extant in the historic district, the Harry Colter house was built at 22 West 2nd Avenue.</p><br>
<p>During the 1900s, three more of the contributing structures to the historic site were constructed: the William La Sueur House at 287 North Main Street, a folk house at 36 West Central Avenue, and a barn at 236 North Main Street were constructed.</p><br>
<p>In 1910, Eagar was the third most populous town in Apache County, with 397 citizens in the 1910 census. Through most of the 1910s, through the end of World War I, the town prospered and grew, with an economy based on timber, cattle, sheep, and wool. The economy went into a slump with the collapse of commodity prices at the end of the World War, but the town had grown to 635 people by the 1920 census. In 1916 the Grapevine social hall, one of the contributing buildings to the present historic site, was constructed. Initially it was used for various social and community functions, such as dances, plays, benefits, and even served as a school classroom. When the township&#39;s high school opened, it became their basketball court in the 1920s. It was also the first electrically building in Eagar in 1927. In addition to the Grapevine structure, the 1910s also saw the construction of two other contributing buildings, both folk houses; one at 286 North Eagar Street and the other at 81 North Eagar Street.</p><br>
<p>Ten of the contributing properties of the historic district were built during the 1920s: seven bungalow-style houses, a folk house, a commercial building and a barn. The barn was part of the Joe Udall homestead, which consisted of an adobe house and the barn, which at the time was the largest barn in the town. The last three contributing buildings were all constructed around 1930. They were pueblo revival style house located at 266 North Main Street, a pueblo revival style duplex which sits at 28 North Main Street, and the Spanish colonial revival style house located at 60 East Central Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>Description of site</h2><br>
<p>The historic site consists of two discontiguous sections, separated by a city block. The northern section is irregularly shaped, stretching from northern side of Second Avenue to the northern side of Third Avenue, from Eagar street to Harless Street. The southern section is smaller, and also irregularly shaped, lying between First and Central Avenues, and from Eagar Street to just beyond Main Street. Both sections sit within the -mile by 1/4 mile area of the original townsite. While areas outside the historic district have seen significant development and alterations, within the two sections of the historic district much of the original historic character of the structures has been retained.</p><br>
<p>The block between the two sections of the historic site used to be filled with historic residences and the original Latter-Day Saints church. All have been demolished, and the blocks now contain the modern LDS church (east of Main Street), and a recent motel (west of Main).</p><br>
<p>Most of the historic structures lie on either Main Street (nine) or Eagar Street (seven), with the five on either Second or Central Avenues. The most northern building is a bungalow style house sitting at 313 North Main Street, while the southernmost structure is the Udall Barn. The Grapevine Hall sits on Main Street in the southern section of the site, while the Harry Colter and Leseur homes are located on Main Street in the northern section. The Leseur home is unusual in Eagar in that it is constructed of red brick, and in the Georgian Revival style.</p><br>

<p>The Devils Postpile National Monument Ranger Cabin, in Devils Postpile National Monument, is located on Minaret Summit Road, about 8 mi from the summit. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nominationAs the oldest standing building in Devils Postpile National Monument, the ranger cabin provides a unique connection to the early period of NPS planning and development at the monument. It typifies the emphasis on efficiency, creative reuse of materials, and functional construction that became a feature of national park planning and development during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The cabin also embodies the utilitarian approach to planning that formed at Devils Postpile during its early years as a subsidiary of Yosemite National Park. Initially a response to severe budget and staffing constraints, the focus on maintaining quality visitor contacts with minimal facilities became a hallmark of Devils Postpile’s administrative evolution. The ranger cabin symbolizes the continuation of this management philosophy to the present and contributes significantly to the monument’s historic character.</p><br>

<p>The Melrose Road Bridge is a historic bridge at the western end of Melrose Road in East Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1888, it is one of a small number of surviving 19th-century lenticular pony truss bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It was closed for many years, and lacked stringers and decking. In 2017, the town received an $85,000 state grant to add a new pedestrian deck between the historic trusses and to construct connecting trails.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Melrose Road Bridge is located in a rural area of northeastern East Windsor, at the western end of Melrose Road, where it would otherwise cross the Scantic River. This portion of the river is now part of Scantic River State Park. The bridge now consists of a wrought iron lenticular truss structure, spanning the river and mounted on brownstone abutments. The truss elements are joined by pins. The bridge measures 63 ft long and 13 ft wide, and would be capable of carrying one lane of traffic if rehabilitated. Guardrails have been welded across each of the truss&#39;s ends to impede access to the structure, which lacks any sort of decking.</p><br>
<p>The truss was built in 1888 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, one of New England&#39;s leading manufacturers of iron bridge trusses of the late 19th century. The truss was purchased by the town for $750, and was assembled and mounted by George Phelps, a local contractor, for $1484. Other contractors were paid $484. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1999, it was one of only 15 lenticular trusses remaining in the state.</p><br>

The main facade is dominated by a round arch on the ground floor under which the main entrance is located. The second floor has four sash windows in rectangular openings, and the third has three closely set windows in the roof gable. In the interior, the ground floor has a stairwell on the left, and a central hall flanked by meeting rooms. The tower chamber was originally used as a library. The second floor houses the building&#39;s main meeting hall.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1888 to a design by Frederick S. Newman of Springfield, Massachusetts. The building was donated by Charles Chaffee, a mill owner from Monson, Massachusetts whose reason for the donation is not known. The building was constructed out of stone quarried in Monson as a memorial to Windsor Locks&#39; Civil War soldiers, and was intended for use by the Grand Army of the Republic and affiliated organizations. It has been maintained by the nearby Congregational church, under a unique preservation restriction placed at the time of its construction requiring its continued use as a space for current and past soldiers. This restriction prevented its repurposing as town hall after World War II, by which time the GAR chapter had closed, and the church had taken over the building ownership. It is now used by a variety of veterans organizations.</p><br>

<p>The Naubuc Avenue-Broad Street Historic District encompasses a largely agrarian village area of southwestern East Hartford, Connecticut. Extending along Naubuc Avenue from the Glastonbury line to Broad Street, and along Broad to Main Street, its architecture encapsulates the area&#39;s history between the 18th and early 20th centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>East Hartford consisted of largely uninhabitated agricultural lands during much of the colonial period, owned and managed by landowners who lived across the Connecticut River in Hartford. Permanent settlement began in the mid-18th-century, but did not increase substantially until after the American Revolutionary War. Naubuc Avenue was laid out around that time, running north from a ferry in Glastonbury to provide access to Keeley Cove, formed out of a meander in the river, where a shipbuilding operation was begun. Beginning in the 1830s, the area&#39;s agriculture shifted to the lucrative production of tobacco for cigars, which would remain a dominant feature of the area into the 20th century. A small silverware factory established around the same time also provided industrial employment.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is essentially linear in an L shape. Naubuc Avenue runs north from the Glastonbury line, roughly paralleling Keeley Cove to the west up to Broad Street. From that junction it runs east along Broad Street to Main Street. These streets are now surrounded by suburban development on the formerly agricultural fields, but retain a distinctively 18th and 19th-century spacing and layout. The oldest house in the district is the first to be built by John Kentfield, one of the area&#39;s first permanent residents, about 1780; a second house of his, built just a few years later, stands further up Naubuc Avenue to the north. There are several other 18th-century houses in the district, but most of its architecture dates from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. There are several examples of the Greek Revival, and a few stylish Queen Anne Victorians. The only significant non-residential building is the 1855 Dudley Fox Silver Factory, which was built on a residential scale and has been converted into residential use.</p><br>
<p>The New Britain Opera House, also known as the Palace Theater, was a performance venue and movie house on Main Street in downtown New Britain, Connecticut. Built in 1880, it was a prominent local example of Renaissance Revival architecture, serving as an entertainment venue for about a century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It has since been demolished as part of local urban renewal.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The New Britain Opera House stood on the north side of New Britain&#39;s downtown, on the west side Main Street between Myrtle and Lafayette Streets. This area was separated from the 19th-century downtown in the mid-20th century by the construction of the Connecticut Route 72, a depressed limited-access highway. It was a three-story brick building with Renaissance Revival style, sharing party walls on either side with other buildings. Its front facade was divided into three sections, with the theater entrance flanked by commercial spaces on the ground floor, and two windows in each section on the upper floors. The second-floor windows were set in rectangular openings, and those on the third floor were in round-arch openings. The center section extended upward to a wall dormer with four closely set windows topped by a fully pedimented gable.</p><br>
<p>The theater was built in 1880 to a design by Robert Hill, a prominent local architect. Unusual for similar buildings in other cities, it was not built for local businessmen, but for what was termed at the time "comparatively speaking, working men" of Irish descent. It houses theatrical and vaudeville productions for many years and was eventually adapted for the showing of movies. By the time of its listing on the National Register in 1977, it had been reduced to showing X-rated films and had become isolated from the rest of the downtown by the highway construction. It was later demolished (sometime before 1994) as part of local urban renewal activities.</p><br>

<p>Maple Grove Farm is a historic farm property on Boners Run Road in Shawsville, Virginia. The farm complex includes an early 20th-century Colonial Revival farmhouse and a number of outbuildings, including a small log house that dates to the early period of the property&#39;s agricultural use. The property also includes a small mill complex. The land was part of a large tract given to Ephraim Vause in 1748, and developed later in the 18th century by the Madison family. The property was used for dairy and cattle production for most of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the "National Register of Historic Places "in 1991.</p><br>

It has a variety of well-preserved exterior and interior 19th-century finishes that are stylistically eclectic. Outbuildings include a 19th-century pumphouse and privy, and there is a small 19th-century coal mine on the property. The latter was probably used by the farm&#39;s owners for local use.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel A. and Margaret Stevenson House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This is the best preserved</p><br>
<p>example of the residential architecture that combines the Stick and Eastlake styles in the city. In the suburban areas of the city in the late 19th century this was one of the most common residential styles. Most of them have been either demolished, significantly altered, or lost most of their character by being covered over with siding. The Stevensons bought the property in 1889 from the Vermont Syndicate, who developed Kingman Place. They mortgaged the property for $2,687.50 to the syndicate immediately after they bought it, probably for them to build their house for them from a pattern book or stock plan design. The two-story wood-frame structure features exterior walls of painted clapboards, vertical and horizontal trim boards, and capped with a crossgabled roof. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Richard and Paulina Stuart House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 2½-story frame dwelling follows an irregular plan and features a hipped roof, gablet, and various gables. The property on which it stands is one of ten plats that were owned by Drake University.
