<p>The Flynn–Griffin Building, also known as the Flynn Block, Peoples&#39; Savings Bank Building, and the Edna M. Griffin Building, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in two stages. The first three floors were completed in 1885, and the top three floors were completed in 1906. Throughout its existence, it has housed retail space on the first floor and offices on the upper floors. Peoples Savings Bank was located here from 1890 to 1929. The building is named for two influential Iowans, Martin Flynn and Edna Griffin. Flynn was an early Des Moines resident, livestock breeder, entrepreneur, and banker who had this building constructed. Flynn was one of the organizers of Peoples Savings Bank, and it grew to prominence in the city. The building is the only reminder in the city of his contributions to Des Moines’ commercial sector.</p><br>
<p>By 1883 Des Moines had been nicknamed “Hartford of the West.” This indicates the central place the insurance industry played in the citys economic life. Insurance companies that maintained offices in the Flynn Block include Bankers Accident Co., Central Life Assurance Society, Aetna Life Insurance Co., National Life Insurance Co., Mutual Fire Insurance Co., Equitable Life Insurance Co., and Prudential Insurance Co.</p><br>
<p>After the bank vacated the first floor, it was converted to Katz Drug Store. Even though racial segregation was illegal in Iowa, it was a reality in practice. In 1948 Edna Griffin, along with her infant daughter Phyllis, John Bibbs, and Leonard Hudson sat at the lunch counter at Katzs and ordered ice cream. They were refused and told that the establishment "was not equipped to serve Negroes." even though her act of civil disobedience predated Parks.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original three-story building was designed by Des Moines architect William Foster, a principal of the influential firm of Foster & Liebbe. The 1906 expansion was designed by the equally prominent firm of Proudfoot & Bird,</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In early 1926, Detroit developer Will St. John platted an exclusive residential subdivision known as "The Colony," marketed to well-off professionals as a secluded neighborhood with ready access the Lake Saint Clair. The subdivision had 147 lots. That same year, St. John had the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company erect a water tower to service the subdivision. As an advertising gimmick, St. John clad the tower with a lighthouse-like outer skin, even adding a beacon on top. He also constructed a gatehouse nearby.</p><br>
<p>However, by 1929, only three of the subdivisions lots had houses on them, one of which was St. Johns own house. The onset of the Great Depression doomed the development, although years later the area did become attractive as a residential center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Colony Tower Complex consists of a water tank tower designed to look like a lighthouse and the nearby gatekeeper&#39;s cottage and garage. A semicircular drive off Dyke leads to a narrow lane which passes between the cottage and garage, then over the small canal behind the Tower complex.</p><br>
<p>The water tower is 136 ft tall and is clad with a steel plate, mimicking the appearance of a lighthouse. The tower served as an active lighthouse until 1937.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation responsible for building the church was organized as Newport News Baptist Church in 1881, the same year the C&O Railway came to the area. A meeting on 14 July 1881 held at Warwick (Denbigh) Baptist Church ordained L.R. Millbourne as the initial pastor, who served simultaneously at Denbigh (Warwick County), Newport News, and Emmaus (York County) for a time. With the railroad&#39;s arrival came rapid development of the area, and by 14 Jun 1883 the congregation is constituted as First Baptist Church (Newport News). This was the same year the first telephone switchboard was established in Newport News. In 1888, land was granted by Rev. Isaac Gates. A brick building was erected and dedicated at the corner of 29th Street and Washington Avenue on November 23, 1890.</p><br>
<p>Huntington&#39;s newly established Newport News Shipbuilding brought industrialization and the need for new workers to the local area. The congregation likewise grew and a larger building became necessary. A new church building was built in the middle of the 29th street block in 1902. The first service in the new building was held December 20, 1903. A fire on January 27, 1906, destroyed the 1902 building, but it was quickly rebuilt in place and services resumed by May 12, 1907. In 1930, the three-story education building was added. The congregation opened a satellite suburban chapel 8.4 miles north in 1979. It operated on both sites for many years before closing the 29th Street church in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The downtown building, and the attached education building, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Since First Baptist left the building, it has been owned and occupied by a number of churches. In 2000 it was owned by Rehoboth Fellowship Church, later it was occupied by Calvary Revival Church Peninsula, and in 2022 by Dominion Outreach Worship Center.</p><br>

<p>The city of Burlington was founded in the late 18th century, and was from an early date an important lumber shipment and processing point. The southern part of its waterfront on Lake Champlain began to see industrial development following the arrival of the railroad in 1849, and the construction of a barge canal twenty years later. The land west of Pine Street and south of Maple Street was in part created by filling in marshland, and became a focal point for a large number of wood-processing industries.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes resources associated with Burlington&#39;s maritime trade, railroad trade, and timber processing industries. Buildings along Pine Street and nearby streets associated with the industries are typically vernacular brick or frame buildings, few rising above two stories in height. The principal railroad-related building that still survives from the period is a roundhouse built 1916–18; many of the extant buildings associated with the railyard in the area are not of historic significance. Maritime resources include shipwrecks located just off the waterfront.</p><br>
<p>The Harper County Courthouse in Buffalo, Oklahoma, built in 1927, was Harper County&#39;s first courthouse building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is a red brick three-story Plains Commercial style structure. It is 75x50 ft in plan. It has paired Ionic pilasters bracketing the central windows of its second and third floors, above the front entrance. The entrance is topped by a broken pediment with a carved stone escutcheon.</p><br>
<p>The Down House, located on Louisiana Highway 154 near Gibsland in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, is a Greek Revival-style house built in 1852–53. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a five-bay house with a front gallery. Its NRHP nomination states its significance: "This building, because of its cornices over the fenestration and its full molded Doric pillars, is the most classically correct and fully developed example of a Greek Revival residence in the area."</p><br>
<p>The Jones House, on Louisiana Highway 154 along Cane River Lake near Melrose in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1847. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states:The Jones House helps establish the significance of Natchitoches Parish as a center of the Creole style. It is particularly important for its three elegant mantel/overmantel ensembles, a feature found in only the most elegant and "upmarket" Creole houses in Louisiana. In this, it is in sharp contrast to the general trend in Natchitoches Parish of large, plain Creole houses with little in the way of intricate ornamentation. It is one of only two houses having mantel/overmantel ensembles. (The other is Melrose Plantation House, a National Historic Landmark.) Finally, it is the only known surviving house to have the lozenge shaped design so popular in Louisiana&#39;s French Creole architecture.</p><br>
<p>The North-West School is a historic school building at 1240 Albany Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1891, it is a well-preserved example of a late 19th-century school building, considered state of the art at the time of its construction. It served the city as a school until 1978, and now stands vacant. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The North-West School is located in northern Hartford, on the north side of Albany Avenue (United States Route 44), between the Albany branch of the Hartford Public Library, and an arts organization. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of brick and covered by a gabled roof. Its front facade is seven bays wide, with a center entrance recessed behind a broad round-headed arch lined with drip moulding. The outer bays have single sash windows with brownstone lintels and sills, while above the entrance are a pair of similar windows; that space was originally occupied by a three-part window. The interior is organized around a central hall and staircase, with classrooms on either side, one of which was later converted into school offices.</p><br>
<p>The first school to be built on this property was a two-room structure built in 1871. The present building, the only survivor of a long series of alterations, was built in 1891 as a major addition to the first building, and was originally oriented facing Woodland Street, where the arts center now stands. In 1915, the 1871 building was demolished, and this structure was relocated to its present site. It underwent a number of additions, as the area&#39;s population increased and more classroom space was needed. The school was used until 1978, at which time all of the additions were demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Old North Cemetery is a cemetery on Main Street in the Clay-Arsenal neighborhood north of downtown Hartford, Connecticut. It was established in 1807, and was the citys second municipal cemetery. It was the principal burying ground for the citys elites for many years, and has a fine collection of 19th-century funerary art. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Although burials continue to take place there occasionally, they only take place on existing plots.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hartford&#39;s first cemetery, the Ancient Burying Ground, was established in 1640. By the early 19th century it was filling up, so the city purchased 11 acre of land north of the downtown from farmer Hezekiah Bull for the creation of this cemetery. This purchase was incremented by others in the 19th century, until the cemetery reached its present size of 17 acre. Significant burial plots in the cemetery include this of the Colt and Goodwin families, both prominent in the civic and business leadership of the city. The Weld Monument is a memorial to two brothers, Charles and Lewis Weld, who were soldiers in the American Civil War; Lewis in particular is noted for his leadership of the 41st United States Colored Infantry. A number of the monuments were prepared by the stone cutting firm of James G. Batterson, who is best known for supplying stone for the Connecticut State Capitol.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is located on the west side of Main Street, and is roughly rectangular in shape, except for a cutout where the Union Baptist Church is located. Its Main Street boundary is lined by a metal picket fence, with the main entrance marked by a pair of brick piers. Adjacent to the entrance is a small brick office, a Queen Anne style structure with a combination of Renaissance and Classical Revival styles. These elements were probably added around 1890. A series of roadways provide a roughly rectangular circulation pattern through the cemetery grounds. The northwestern section of the grounds contain concentrated groups of Jewish and Italian graves.</p><br>
<p>The Roland E. Cook Elementary School is a historic school building at 412 South Poplar Street in Vinton, Virginia. Built in 1915 as a T-shaped Classical Revival structure, it was expanded in 1924 to its present H shape, at which time it became Vinton High School. It served as a high school until 1933, when the William Byrd High School was built, and was then converted to an elementary school. It originally served the area&#39;s white population during the Jim Crow period of segregated facilities, and was integrated in 1966–67. It closed in 1999, and was mothballed after a period of use by an alternative school.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The William Byrd High School Historic District encompasses a historic school complex at 100 and 156 Highland Road in Vinton, Virginia. Built in 1933, the main building is a good local example of Classical Revival architecture, while a two-story annex added in 1938 exhibits Moderne styling. The facility also includes a single-story vocational training building , and athletic fields. The school exhibits the change in school building trends, as differentiated from the earlier Roland E. Cook Elementary School . Originally built as a segregated school serving white students, it was integrated in 1964–5, but closed in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>Paul&#39;s Ottobine Mill is a historic former mill building at 8061 Judge Paul Road in rural Rockingham County, Virginia, west of Dayton. It is a two-story gambrel-roofed frame building, constructed in 1937-38 on the foundation of an older mill. The site has an industrial history dating to 1799, and portions of the older water control channels are still evident. The building, now converted to residential use, retains a suite of historic mill equipment in its interior.</p><br>
<p>The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>

<p>The F. W. Fitch Company Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The industrial buildings were built piecemeal between 1917 and 1944 on the west side of the central business district. The main building  and its addition  are located on the north side of Walnut Street, and the soap plant  and the soap plant annex  are located on the south sides of Walnut Street. The contributing structure is a tunnel under Walnut that was built either in 1929 or 1942.</p><br>
<p>The F. W. Fitch Company, which manufactured personal care products, occupied the buildings between 1917 and 1949. They dominated much of the shampoo industry from the 1920s through the mid-1940s. They and the Carl Weeks Armand Co., a national cosmetics and perfume manufacturer, gave the city a reputation as a leader in the United States for the personal care products industry. The countrys changing grooming styles and the end of military contracts after World War II led to the company&#39;s demise. They sold all of their assets to Grove Laboratories of St. Louis in 1949. The Fitch family, however, continued to hold the title to the main building into the 1970s when Building Maintenance Services (BMS) bought it. The building housed artists and other design professionals. It was almost torn down in the early 21st century, but it was spared. Various enterprises have been housed in the soap plant and its annex.</p><br>
<p>Plymouth Place is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Construction of the building was initiated by Plymouth Congregational Church, which faces Plymouth Place on the opposite side of Ingersoll Avenue. Ground-breaking occurred on June 12, 1966. This circular residential building was designed by local architect Raymond Hueholt. It has an unusual interior plan where a common central living room area is surrounded by peripheral living units. The building is also significant for providing quality affordable senior housing for low-income people regardless of religion or creed. At the time the Greenwood Park Plats Historic District was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 it was considered a non-contributing property in the district, but it was considered significant on its own. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Allen-Barringer House, now located about 7 mi southwest of West Monroe, Louisiana, was built in around 1906 in the town of Monroe LA.

<p>St. Augustin Catholic Church is a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Des Moines located on the west side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was included as a contributing property in the Greenwood Park Plats Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish began when 12 parishioners from St. Ambrose Cathedral petitioned Bishop Thomas Drumm for a new west side parish in 1920. He assigned the Rev. John Noonan as the founding pastor, and a part of the former Iowa State Fairgrounds property on Grand Avenue was acquired for $20,000. The prominent Boston architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh, who were known for their ecclesiastical work, designed the new parish church. It was built for about for $100,000, and it was dedicated on February 3, 1924.</p><br>
<p>A parish school was established and a seven-room school building was completed further to the west on Grand Avenue in 1926. The school was staffed by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. The rectory was added to the church in 1928. A new school building was completed during the pastorate of Msgr. Gerald Walker (1948-1981). The parking lot was enlarged in 1951 when the city discontinued street parking, and a residence at 4111 Grand Avenue was removed around this time. The church complex was enlarged in 1985, 1989, and in 1998. The parking lot and the school building were expanded during the pastorate of Msgr. Frank Bognanno (1990-2000).</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church is English Gothic in style, and it is dominated by a large square tower located at the crossing. The tower is similar in design to the Plymouth United Church of Christ immediately to the north. The church complex is a brick structure with Bedford stone trim, and a red flat-tile roof. The stained glass windows are the work of Charles Jay Connick of Boston.</p><br>
<h2>School</h2><br>
<p>The parish hosts the K-8 school St. Augustin School, which first opened in 1926.</p><br>

<p>The Oxford-Whitney Streets District is a historic district encompassing an early-20th century residential area in the West End neighborhood of Hartford, the capital city of the USA state of Connecticut. It extends along the east side of Oxford Street between Elizabeth and Cone Streets, and along the west side of Whitney between Fern and Elizabeth, and includes the north side of Fern Street between Whitney and Oxford. Most of the housing, a combination of single and multi-family residences, was built between 1906 and 1919, a period later than the surrounding areas, and is predominantly Colonial Revival in character. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Most of the area that became Oxford and Whitney Streets on Hartford&#39;s west side, was farmland and country estates until roughly 1869. In the 1870s it was platted for development by Eugene L. Kenyon, Willis Thrall, and Sylvanus Cone, but development was slowed by financial panics. Albert and Alfred Gillett purchased large tracts in the area in the 1880s, and began development north of a strip near Farmington Avenue. Whitney Street had been laid out by Kenyon in 1870, but was not accepted by the city until 1896, and the portion of Oxford Street between Cone and Elizabeth was laid out by the Gilletts in 1904. These areas were mostly built out with housing aimed at the lower and middle classes, a contrast to the earlier development which had favored upper and upper-middle class buyers.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by Elizabeth Street and the south by Cone and Fern Streets. Oxford Street is laid out with slightly larger lot sizes, and has mostly one and two-family buildings. Whitney Street lots are generally smaller, and many of the buildings house more than three units. Most of the buildings are of wood-frame construction, although some of these are finished in stucco, and there are a few brick buildings in the district. Almost all are basically Colonial Revival in style and massing, although elements of Prairie, Tudor, Queen Anne and Shingle styling appear throughout the area. There are no non-residential buildings in the district. It is bounded on the south by the National Register-listed Prospect Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
