<p>The Parkside Historic District encompasses a fine collection of Queen Anne Victorian houses lining the east side of Wethersfield Avenue north of Wawarme Avenue in southern Hartford, Connecticut. This area was developed in the 1880s and 1890s by Mrs. Elizabeth Jarvis Colt, widow of arms manufacturer Samuel Colt, out of a portion of their extensive estate. Of this development, a row of nine houses now remains; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>When Samuel Colt established his arms factory in Hartford, part of the adjacent land became his extensive personal estate. The bulk of that estate became Hartfords Colt Park, with his mansion house, Armsmear, a National Historic Landmark and part of the nascent Coltsville National Historical Park at the northwest corner. South of Armsmear, along Wethersfield Avenue, the estate grounds housed an apple orchard. Colt built a home for his brother James south of Armsmear in 1856. Colts widow Elizabeth, for reasons unknown, began building houses and selling off lots for development between that house and Wawarme Avenue in the 1880s. She had four houses built, of which two still survive, and sold off eight lots, all of which were eventually built on, with seven of the houses surviving. The west side of Wethersfield Avenue was also developed in the second half of the 19th century with fine Victorian houses; almost all have been torn down and replaced by apartment blocks.</p><br>
<p>The collection of nine surviving buildings represent one of Hartford&#39;s finest concentrations of high-style Queen Anne architecture. They share a uniformity of placement and scale, with similar setbacks and massing, and all 2-1/2 stories set on brownstone foundations. Six have at least partially brick exteriors, while the other three are frame structures finished in clapboards and shingles. All have asymmetrical massing, with projecting gables and bays typical of the Queen Anne period. Notable among them is the c. 1900 home of builder William Scoville at 190 Wethersfield Avenue, which has an octagonal tower at one corner. Scoville is credited with building this house and two others in the row; other architects involved in building these house are Frederick Comstock (one) and Brooks Lincoln (three).</p><br>

The area, long a major local crossing point of the Maury River, was developed about 1800 by John Jordan and John Moorhead, who established a sawmill on the site. In 1806 they dammed the river, and then built a cotton mill in 1808. Of this and later industrial activity on the site, only foundation remnants and the millrace remain; surviving structures associated with the development include the miller&#39;s house , now a local museum, and a chapel built in 1874.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>

<p>The Tiburon Railroad & Ferry Depot Museum is located at 1920 Paradise Drive, on the waterfront of Tiburon, California. It is located in the former San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Station House/Depot, a Greek Revival building erected in 1886 by the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. Designed to be movable, the building has historically rested in several places, including a wharf, prior to its present location. The railroad removed its major rail and ferry passenger service to Sausalito about 1920, and usage of this building declined; it was abandoned by the railroad in 1939. It was donated to the town in 1989, and has since been restored for use as a museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Anaconda Saddle Club, located at 2704 MT 1 W about five miles west of Anaconda, Montana, was built in 1945. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>It is a historic horse-boarding facility and social center. The listing included 11 contributing buildings and four contributing structures. The clubhouse, "perhaps the most unique building in Anaconda&#39;s West Valley", is a one-story octagonal structure, built starting in 1945, made of square-hewn logs resting on a concrete wall foundation.</p><br>
<p>The Anaconda City Hall, located at 401 E. Commercial in Anaconda, Montana, was built in 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is also a contributing building in the Anaconda Commercial Historic District, NRHP-listed in 1998.</p><br>
<p>It is Late Victorian in style, designed by architectural firm Charles Lane & Companys Collins W. Reber and built by Jacobson & Co. It was asserted in 1896 that Lane and Reber "stated the City Hall would be the finest municipal building in the State, and that it would be built in a straightforward manner... using local materials: Anaconda pressed brick, granite, and trimmed with Anaconda copper." It is a 53x102 ft structure. The city hall facade faces onto Commercial Street and includes a 90 ft clock tower; a treasurers office and fire station were located in the west-facing facade.</p><br>
<p>The building was threatened with demolition in 1978 but was saved by a local group led by Alice Clark Finnegan, which pressed a court action, and was aided by a National Trust for Historic Preservation grant.</p><br>
<p>The Mariposa County Courthouse in Mariposa, California was built in 1854, making it the oldest courthouse in California. It was listed as a California Historical Landmark in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Mariposa courthouse was designed and built by Fox & Shriver. It was finished in 1854. The total building costs came to $9,200. The first meeting was held on February 12, 1855. The clock and cupola were added in 1866. On April 21, the Yosemite Parlor No. 24, N.S.G.W., Merced, dedicated a quartz monument and bronze plaque in honor of the pioneers of Mariposa County.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>In 1851, Mariposa became home to many miners as the California Gold Rush began. This brought issues regarding mining laws, and there developed a necessity to have a place to try these disputes. The courthouse tried cases on other aspects of the laws, but it was the rulings on mining laws that set the courthouse apart from its counterparts. Legal precedents on federal mining laws were set based on rulings made here.</p><br>
<p>The Wilbur F. Davidson House is a private house located at 1707 Military Street in Port Huron, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wilbur F. Davidson was born in Adrian in 1852. He graduated from Howell High School in 1870, and in 1882 he opened a large dry goods store in Port Huron. In 1883 Davidson installed an electric light plant in his store. It was the first such plant in St. Clair County, and proved so successful that Davidson soon organized the Port Huron Light and Power Company, and turned his efforts from dry goods to the electricity business.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Captain Samuel Ward was known throughout Michigan as "Uncle Sam the Steamboat King." In 1819, Ward settled in Marine City and constructed a shipyard and a brickyard. He built this house about 1830, which at the time was described as being one of two brick houses between Detroit and the North Pole. Through the nineteenth century, the Ward family acquired extensive mercantile, shipping, and manufacturing interests, and dominated the shipping trade on the Great Lakes.</p><br>

<p>The Greenwood Park Plats 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. Most of this district was originally known as Browns Park, a private park that was the location of the Iowa State Fair from 1879 to 1885. Founded privately in 1854, the fair was held in several locations in the state making it more of a regional event. It was also not profitable. That changed when the fair moved to this location, and its profitability eventually led to funding from the Iowa General Assembly and a permanent location on the east side of the city. Browns Park continued for a while longer and the streetcar line from Des Moines opened in 1889.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is the northwest section of a former suburb known as Greenwood Park. It was incorporated as a city in the area of Browns Park in 1881, and in 1890 it was annexed into the city of Des Moines. The Greenwood Park Association bought Browns Park 1892. While it was platted for residential development, housing was not built here until 1910 and into the 1920s. For the most part, it continued to be used as a park until then. The part of the district north of Ingersoll Avenue is exclusively residential. Apartment buildings were built in the Greenwood Park Plat from 1918 to 1926, and five of them remain. Three churches were built in the district between 1922 and 1938. They include St. Augustine Catholic Church (1922), Plymouth Congregational Church (1926; now United Church of Christ), and Central Presbyterian Church (1938). Four medical buildings and an office building were built along 39th Street and on Ingersoll Avenue between 1955 and 1961. Prior to this, there was virtually no commercial development in Greenwood Park. Five more were completed between 1963 and 1975.</p><br>

<p>The Polk County Homestead and Trust Company Addition 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 2016. The end of the 19th century saw the rise of the Victorian suburbs around Des Moines. This was a period of economic growth for the metropolitan area. The largest of these suburbs was North Des Moines. It was connected to Des Moines by way of three streetcar lines, which added to its attractiveness. Local real estate investors established the Polk County Homestead & Trust Co. to develop the northern portion of North Des Moines in partnership with the Prospect Park Improvement Company.</p><br>
<p>This area was platted in 1884. Polk County Homestead & Trust Co. bought this property from the Prospect Park Improvement Company, and the two advertised the addition together. The streets, alleys, and large town lots of the plat are laid out on a grid, which differs from the surrounding areas curvilinear streets and irregular lots further north and more erratic development to the south. The historic districts period of significance is 1886 when the first house was built, to 1945 when some of the single-family dwellings were converted into multi-family dwellings. The addition is dominated by the Late Victorian and Colonial Revival styles. The Queen Anne style was popular in this middle and upper-middle-class neighborhood before the Panic of 1893. Five houses are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Lowry W. and Hattie N. Goode House (1886), the Chaffee-Hunter House (1886), the Dr. John B. and Anna M.

<p>The Polish National Home is an ethnic community support organization in Hartford, Connecticut. Its facilities are located at 60 Charter Oak Avenue, south of downtown Hartford, in an architecturally distinctive Art Deco building. It was built in 1930 to a design by Polish-American architect Henry Ludorf, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Polish immigrants began settling on Hartford southeast side as early as 1889, and the area soon developed as an ethnic enclave. The Roman Catholic Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius was established in 1902 as an early focus of the community. A number of social support organizations were also established, to lend assistance to arriving immigrants and provide mutual assistance. In 1917 the Polish National Corporation was founded as an umbrella for these efforts. In 1918, after the church moved to a new building, it occupied the church&#39;s old building. This organization changed its name to the Polish National Home Corporation in 1927, and solicited plans from Polish-American architects for construction of a new home. This project was awarded to Henry Ludorf, and the present edifice was built with funds raised from the local Polish community. It was dedicated in 1930, and served as a focal point for local Polish cultural events. A small, rather inconspicuous plaque displays the high water mark of the Flood of 1936.</p><br>
<p>On December 30, 2022, the Polish National Home building was sold to For His Glory Church Ministries.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Architecturally, the Homes building is a distinctive local example of Art Deco architecture. Its facades facing Charter Oak Avenue and Governor Street are finished in buff brick, with a central projecting entry section of ashlar concrete block. Eagle crests (the eagle being a symbol of Polish identity) are found above the entrance, and in panels above the windows in the projecting section. Stylized piers with Art Deco capitals separate the main windows on the Governor Street facade, and both facades have small octagonal windows placed at several levels. The octagonal pattern is repeated in the interior fixtures of the hall, which are also part of Ludorfs original design. The interior space is organized with a banquet hall, bar, and kitchen on the ground floor, and a large auditorium space on the second level.</p><br>
<p>The Jacob Bowman House is a historic house at 2470 Polk Road in rural south-central Shenandoah County, Virginia, southwest of Edinburg.

<p>The Marine City City Hall is a former government building located at 300 Broadway Street in Marine City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. City government offices moved out of the building in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1883, Marine City citizens approved the construction of a new City Hall and fire station. In early 1884, the city council contracted architects George Mason and Zachariah Rice to design the building, and hired local contractor Morley and Bower to construct it. The building was completed in early 1885. In 1910, an addition was constructed on the rear to house the fire hall.</p><br>
<p>City offices moved out of the building in 2005, and it remained vacant as of 2018. The City Hall suffered physical deterioration over the course of the 20th century. In 2011, a group was formed to preserve and renovate the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The former Marine City City Hall is a two-story, rectangular red brick Richardsonian Romanesque structure, sitting on a rusticated stone foundation and topped with a hipped roof. The structure measures 45 feet by 95 feet. It has rounded arch doors and windows and two towers: one squared and one octagonal.</p><br>
<p>The main facade of the building contains a formal entryway in the center, though a rounded arch double door. Ocular windows are on the first and second story levels, and a decorative pediment extends above the cornice on one side. To the left is the square tower, with another entranceway at the first floor level, an open balcony above, and a curved, bell-shaped roof.</p><br>
<p>The octagonal tower has rounded arch windows at each story and an octagonally pointed roof. The 1910 addition to the rear is a flat-roofed, single story structure.</p><br>

<p>The Arthur G. Pomeroy House is a historic house at 490 Ann Uccello Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1882 for a wealthy tobacco grower, it is a locally distinctive combination of Queen Anne and High Victorian Gothic architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Arthur G. Pomery House is located in Hartford&#39;s Clay-Arsenal neighborhood, on the east side of Ann Uccello Street (formerly Ann Street), north of Chapel Street and Interstate 84. It is a -story masonry structure, built out of red brick with stone trim. Its main block is covered by a hip roof with a rectangular flat-roof monitor section at its center. This basic shape is obscured by a wealth of projecting gable sections and porches that typify the Queen Anne style. Large gables project both to the front and side, and are adorned with Gothic vergeboard. A single-story hip-roof porch extends between these two sections, wrapping around a corner turret in the process. The porch has turned posts with brackets at the top, and a low balustrade. A gabled section projects above the main stairs.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1882 for Arthur Pomeroy, a wealthy tobacco farmer from Suffield. At the time of its construction, the area was a quiet residential area of similar (though generally less elaborate) houses. It has since been transformed by the highway and urban renewal, with most of the housing replaced by apartment houses or commercial buildings. This house is one of the few surviving reminders of that residential past. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>

The mill was closed in 1972 and partially destroyed by fire in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>Scholes Hall is the historic administration building of the University of New Mexico, located on the main campus in Albuquerque. It was the first of many buildings designed for the university by Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem, who helped to cement the Pueblo Revival style as the "official" architecture of the campus. Built in 1934–36 with Public Works Administration funding, it is regarded as one of Meem&#39;s most notable designs.</p><br>
<p>It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places,</p><br>
<p>It is named for France Vinton Scholes (1897–1979), who was an American scholar and historian noted for his research on the history of New Spain, especially Spanish Yucatan and Southwestern United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Scholes Hall was the first of three major UNM buildings built in the 1930s under the direction of President James Fulton Zimmerman (1887–1944) and designed by Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem. Meem had been introduced to Zimmerman by John J. Dempsey, a member of the Board of Regents who was a mutual acquaintance. The university had a pressing need for more space, and Meem was commissioned in 1933 to design a new administration building even though no funding was available. Much of the design work was already complete when the university finally secured a Public Works Administration grant to pay for the building in August 1934.</p><br>
<p>Meems plans were approved in November 1934, and construction began the following month. Due to the tight budget, cheaper materials had to be substituted in some cases and ornamentation was kept to a minimum. The building was completed in January 1936 and cost $260,000. It still houses the universitys main administrative offices.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, the ship&#39;s bell from the USS New Mexico was installed in one of the bell towers. It was moved to its own freestanding tower near Smith Plaza in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Scholes Hall was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Scholes Hall is an example of the Pueblo Revival style for which Meem was best known, drawing inspiration from New Mexicos traditional adobe architecture with stepped massing, battered walls and parapets, and projecting vigas. In particular, Meems design was modeled after the 1692 San Estevan Del Rey Mission Church at Acoma Pueblo. The building is H-shaped, with a symmetrical, three-story central block, bell towers, and asymmetrical two-story wings. The walls are brick and structural clay tile stuccoed to look like adobe. The central block has a portal or portico with wooden columns, corbels, and vigas, symmetrical groupings of 6-over-6 sash windows, and a third-floor balcony with wooden corbels and railings. The wings have faux vigas and precast concrete spandrels decorated with Art Deco Native American designs on the east and west sides, and doorways with carved wooden ornamentation on the north and south sides.</p><br>
<p>The building originally served as a terminating vista for Terrace Street, which ended in a circular driveway at the intersection with Ash Street. When the campus was closed to vehicular traffic in the 1970s, the streets were replaced with a grassy landscape called Ash Mall.</p><br>
<p>The Lebanon in the Fork Cemetery, also known as Three Rivers Cemetery, is a historic cemetery located at 2390 Asbury Road in eastern Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Lebanon In The Fork Presbyterian Church was founded during 1791 by the Rev. Samuel Carrick.</p><br>
<p>Francis Alexander Ramsey, father of J. G. M. Ramsey, later donated nine acres of land overlooking the wide confluence of the Holston River with the French Broad River, where the "fork" and beginning of the Tennessee River is formed.</p><br>
<p>The first Lebanon In The Fork Presbyterian Church (no longer extant) at this site provided by Ramsey was constructed near the crest of the hill of rough hewn logs and measured approximately 40 feet by sixty feet. This earlier structure was eventually replaced by a newer and larger building built in 1903. It served the church until it was burnt down by a fire in 1981. The bell was recovered and now sits in the cemetery. The church cemetery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 29, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Lebanon in the Fork Presbyterian Church pastors included Samuel Carrick, Isaac L. Anderson, J. G. M. Ramsey, and Richard Owen Currey.</p><br>
<p>According to an account of a visit to Mecklenburg by "Ora," a correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, (and later republished in within the April 6, 1862 edition of the Knoxville Register), the J.G.M Ramsey&#39;s Mecklenburg residence was located about 100 yards from "...the ruins of the old Presbyterian Church of Lebanon".</p><br>
<p>The nearby historic Ramsey House (also known as "Swan Pond", the residence of Francis Alexander Ramsey and his family) offers guided tours of this residence that was built by Francis Alexander Ramsey. The Ramsey House also maintains the Lebanon In The Fork Presbyterian Church cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Catahoula Parish Courthouse, located at 301 Bushley Street  in Harrisonburg, Louisiana, was built in 1930. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a four-story Classical Revival building "with a strong rusticated base and a colossal piano nobile composed of engaged Ionic columns." It is asserted in its 1988 NRHP nomination that "The Catahoula Parish Courthouse is architecturally significant on the local level as the grand landmark of the parish."</p><br>
<p>The Sargent House, at 103 Catahoula Street in Harrisonburg in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, was built in about 1880 with some elements of Greek Revival style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a one and a half story frame raised cottage which is nine bays wide and two rooms deep. The property backs onto the Ouachita River.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "locally significant in the area of architecture as an unusually large example of a traditional raised cottage. According to the Louisiana state-wide survey it is Harrisonburgs only example as well as the towns oldest structure."</p><br>
<p>The A.J. Lewis House is a historic mansion in Edwards, Mississippi, USA. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 4, 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>

<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Colonial Revival style by the architectural firm Spencer & Powers.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Grove Historic District encompasses a well-preserved collection of primarily 19th-century farmsteads, located near one another and a local district school building in Avon, Connecticut. Centered around the junction of West Avon and Harris Roads are four 19th-century farmsteads, one dating to the 18th century, and the 1865 Gothic Revival Pine Grove School. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Avon was incorporated in 1830 out of part of Farmington. It was before then largely farmland worked by people who lived in Farmington village. In the 19th century, agricultural practices in the region began to shift from subsistence to the production of cash crops, most notably tobacco. The Thompson and Woodford families were major landowners in what is now south-central Avon, and both were among the early landowners to build houses on their farmland. The Thompson House has not survived; it originally stood at 712 West Avon Road, where the 1856 Gothic Oliver Thompson House now stands. It was moved for the construction of the latter house, and was razed in the 1960s. The oldest surviving house in the area is that of Isaac Woodford (687 West Avon Road), built in 1789.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is basically linear in shape, extending north-south along West Avon Road between Thompson Road and Harris Road. The Pine Grove School stands at the southwest corner of West Avon and Harris. Southeast of the school on Harris Road is the David Rood House (1820), which anchors the southern end of the district. The district includes five farmhouses, all of woodframe construction and finished in clapboards. All were built between 1789 and 1856, and are stylistically diverse, ranging from the Federal styling of the Woodford House to the Italianate of the Thompson house. The school is distinctive with its Gothic bargeboard trim.</p><br>
<p>The Noden-Reed Museum is a historic house museum at 58 West Street in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. It includes the David Pinney House and Barn, and is a surviving reminder of the town&#39;s agricultural past. It is administered by the local historical society, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Windsor Locks was originally part of Windsor, and was separately incorporated in 1854. Its economic activity was dominated by agriculture, with a boost given by the industrial and transport activity surrounding the Enfield Falls Canal, which allowed freight traffic to bypass rapids on the Connecticut River. David Pinney was a farmer working lands up from the river, about whom little is known. In 1826 he built the brick barn, and in the 1840s he built a Greek Revival house. The choice of brick for the barn was extremely unusual, because it was comparatively expensive for what is normally a utilitarian farm building. His farmlands were donated to the town in 1974 by the Reed family, most of which are now managed as a public park. The house and barn now form a small museum complex on the west side of West Street, managed by the local historical society.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is an L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It presents a gabled front on the right, with a recessed ell extending the left. A single-story porch extends across the face of the ell, supported by paired round columns. The house is not of particular architectural distinction. The barn is one of the only such structures known to exist in the state, and has remained in good condition since its construction. It is a two-story structure, covered by a gabled roof topped by a louvered cupola. On its main facade, there are three slightly pointed arch openings, which provide vehicular access to its interior, and there are two pedestrian entrances as well. These are not placed with symmetry or regularity, and are interspersed with a few sash windows. On the interior it is divided into three sections, with stalls for large animals on one side and small animals on the other. It also houses a collection of agricultural implements from a variety of time periods.</p><br>
