<p>The Masters Road–Belle River Bridge is a bridge carrying Masters Road over the Belle River in Riley Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Great Depression, the St. Clair County Road Commission aggressively sought federal funds for road and bridge work, in large part to provide work for local citizens. This bridge was constructed as a result of the Depression-era program. Plans for the bridge were drawn up by the Road Commission, and bids for construction were requested in late 1934. The firm of J.H. Baker & Sons won the contract with a bid of $9391.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge consists of a single 55-foot span, 24 feet wide, made up of five steel stringers covered with a concrete deck. The deck is covered with dirt and gravel. Railings made up of two horizontal pipe rails with vertical steel bars in between run on each side. The railing is supported by concrete railing posts resting on a concrete curb. The posts have faceted corners, stepped tops, and recessed panels, demonstrating a Streamline Moderne influence. The railings and the wing walls below gently curve to meet the river banks. The wing walls are constructed of random-laid stone with concrete coping, and are likely the remnants of an earlier bridge located at this site.</p><br>
<p>Rattlesnake Point Pueblo is a single-story masonry pueblo ruin dating from the 14th and 15th centuries A.D. It is located in Lyman Lake State Park in between St. Johns and Springerville.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The pueblo dates from the late Pueblo IV Period, being occupied from approximately 1325 through about 1400 A.D. It was one of nine Indian settlements located on the Upper Little Colorado between Springerville and St. Johns during the Pueblo IV era. In approximately 1400, this site, along with other pueblos in the region, was systematically abandoned. This intentional abandonment is indicated by the condition of the rooms within the ruin, and their contents, which suggests that they were in constant use up until the point when the entire pueblo was abandoned. It was one of the last settlements in the area to be abandoned.</p><br>
<p>After it was abandoned, a fire swept through the pueblo, resulting in the collapse of the roof. The natural weathering over the succeeding 600 years has resulted in the degrading of the mud mortar, allowing the walls to collapse into the rooms. Currently, the site is a large pile of rubble. Arizona State University has conducted extensive archeological exploration of the site. Several rooms were completely excavated, while many other rooms were partially excavated in one by two meter sections. Walltrenching was done so as to develop a complete map of the site. Excavation revealed a rather uniform stratigraphy consisting of a top layer of recent soil of between 10 and 30 centimeters. Below this was a 60 to 120 centimeter thick layer composed of material from the collapsed walls, followed by 10 to 40 centimeter layer of collapsed roof material. The lowest layer is between 5 centimeters to 25 inches in depth consisting of cultural debris which was left behind at the time the pueblo was abandoned. The lowest two strata contain many cultural materials, including "reconstructible ceramic vessels, lithic tools and debris, plant and animal remains, and food</p><br>
<p>processing materials."</p><br>
<p>Preservation efforts include stabilization of four rooms which had been completely excavated, including use of water-resistant solution on the mortar and soil floors and capping of the extant walls.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The pueblo sits on a ridge which sits on a ridge which extends into Lyman Reservoir. Prior to the creation of the lake, the pueblo overlooked a broad floodplain of the Little Colorado River, but is now full of water. The pueblo usually has water on three sides, but during peak capacity of the reservoir, the fourth side can also have a shallow amount of water, completely surrounding the pueblo. Rattlesnake Point sits at an elevation of 5,980 feet above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Rattlesnake Point pueblo is a single-story structure constructed from local sandstone. It consists of approximately 85 rooms surrounding an open courtyard and a great kiva</p><br>
<p>Petroglyphs found on the site include birds, butterflies, dogs and/or coyotes, katsinas, lizards, mountain lions, scorpions, and snakes. While a high percentage of the petroglyphs found onsite were of mountain lions and birds, the actual percentage of remains of those types of fauna were less than 1%.</p><br>
<p>The creation of Lyman Reservoir has created an erosion issue along the eastern and southeastern sections of the pueblo. When the reservoir is at maximum depth, waves break against these portions, leading to erosion downslope.</p><br>
<p>The Edward and Ann Moore House is a historic house at 464 Broad Street in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1806, it is a good example of Federal style residential architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edward and Ann Moore House is located a short way south of the village center of Windsor, at the southwest corner of Broad Street (Connecticut Route 159) and Capen Street. Broad Street is historically the major north–south route following the west bank of the Connecticut River. The house is a -story brick structure, with a side gable roof, granite foundation, and a single off-center interior chimney. (The chimney is one of two the house was built with.) The main facade faces Broad Street, and is four bays wide. The bays are place with irregularity, and the entrance is in the center-right bay, topped by a half-round transom window and sheltered by a gabled portico. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone lintels and headers of soldier bricks in a splayed layout. A single-story wood-frame addition extends back and right from the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1806 by Edward Moore, and is one of the few well-preserved purely Federal style houses in the town. Most houses from that period were built with some variation from the academic forms, while this one exhibits the side gable roof, round entry transom, and window treatments that adhere to those norms. Later owners of the house include members of the Capen family.</p><br>
<p>The Benson Street-Forest Avenue Residential Historic District is a historic district in Hartwell, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is located roughly along Benson St. from Forest Ave. to Adams St. and along Forest Ave. from Railroad St. to Garrison Rd. It includes Bungalow/craftsman, Late Victorian, and Victorian Eclectic architecture. It included 46 contributing buildings on about 75 acre.</p><br>
<p>Its 1985 NRHP nomination asserts "The district is significant as one of three intact historic residential areas in Hartwell and one which contains many of its oldest and grandest houses. It documents the building materials, types, styles, and construction technologies typically found in small northeast Georgia towns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The district contains one of Hartwells few extant antebellum houses. It provides excellent examples of a variety of Victorian Eclectic and Bungalow/Craftsman residences. Among the Victorian Eclectic houses are a number with considerable Queen Anne detailing including balconies, turrets, bay windows, tall chimneys, and decorative shinglework. Other smaller Victorian Eclectic-style houses provide examples of modestly detailed cottages with a minimum of porch and gable-end trim. A number of the Craftsman-style dwellings and some earlier houses "updated" with Craftsman-style porches were constructed by the Temple family, Hartwells extremely important family of builders, building-supply dealers and architects whose businessshaped the community&#39;s built environment."</p><br>
<p>It was also deemed significant in social history and in history of community planning and development.</p><br>
<p>Notable Victorian "mansions" in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Skelton House, with asymmetrical massing and a Classical Revival two-story entrance portico, home of judge Carey Skelton, who was Georgia&#39;s Solicitor General and was Judge of the Fourth Circuit</p><br>
<p>McCurry House, with one-story wraparound porch, and Queen Anne-style massing, turrets, and trim</p><br>
<p>Linder House, similar to McCurry House.</p><br>
<p>The Indian Trail Road–Belle River Bridge, also known as the Radike Mills Bridge, is a historic bridge that was originally constructed on Indian Trail Road, spanning the Belle River in China Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The bridge has been moved, and now is located at Purdue University&#39;s Steel Bridge Research, Inspection, Training and Engineering Center on South Sharon Chapel Road in West Lafayette, Indiana.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Great Depression, the St. Clair County Road Commission aggressively sought federal funds for road and bridge work, in large part to provide work for local citizens. In 1935, the St. Clair County Road Commission applied for a grant from the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works to construct a bridge in this location. The grant was approved in late 1936, and included additional funds for a second bridge nearby. The county opened bidding for the bridge at the end of October, and hired the Detroit firm of Couse and Sanders to construct the bridge at a cost of $33,200.78. The bridge was completed in July 1937.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the bridge was removed from its original location and replaced with a modern bridge. The original 1937 bridge was shipped to the Calhoun County Historic Bridge Park, where it resided until 2015. In 2015, it was delivered to Purdue&#39;s Steel Bridge Research, Inspection, Training and Engineering Center (S-BRITE), where it has been incorporated into their Bridge Component Gallery.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge is a six-panel Warren pony truss bridge with riveted connections measuring 91 feet long. The original installation spanned 88 feet. The main structure consists of an upper chords made of back-to-back channels, lower chords and diagonals made of pairs of angles, and I-beam verticals. The floor is supported with an I-beam. A railing was in place on each side, along with a modern metal guardrail.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Street-College Avenue Residential Historic District is a historic district in Hartwell, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by Johnson, Maple, Franklin and First, and Carter Sts. It includes 29 contributing buildings on 20 acre. It includes some commercial buildings and the brick Works Progress Administration-built community clubhouse at the corner of Howell and Richardson, as well as Victoria eclectic and Craftsman bungalow houses.</p><br>
<p>The McCurry-Kidd House, located at 602 W. Howell St. in Hartwell, Georgia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story, brick, Georgian-revival house built in c.1920-24. It was a home of Dr. Edgar McCurry (1877-1962).</p><br>
<p>It is located on the north side of Howell Street near its intersection with Franklin Street. It was designed by architect Willis Irwin. Its NRHP nomination identified it as the only example of Georgian Revival style in Hartwell.</p><br>
<p>The listing included a second contributing building.</p><br>
<p>There is also a "McCurry House" included in the Benson Street-Forest Avenue Residential Historic District in Hartwell.</p><br>
<p>The Witham Cotton Mills Village Historic District is a 18 acre historic district in Hartwell, Georgia. The district included 47 contributing buildings along Liberty Circle, Jackson, and Webb Streets in Hartwell, including Bungalow/craftsman, Late Victorian, and vernacular Victorian architecture.</p><br>
<p>It includes multiple "two-family, wood-framed, weatherboarded housing units with their simple shed-roofed porches and double entrances" which are "typical of much of Georgia&#39;s mill housing. The one-story and two-story variations on what is basically the same housing unit are frequently found, as in the district, in the same mill village in order to provide a variety of living spaces for different size families. The single-family brick bungalows in the district, built in the early 20th century for supervisors and their families, serve to document the different living accommodations frequently provided within a mill village for mill management. The few small Victorian houses absorbed into the mill village as it was constructed contrast with the unrelenting sameness of the housing built by the mill for its workers. Although not much larger than some of the mill housing units, these small cottages have modest individual touches, an L-shaped plan with a bay window in one, a gable-end sunburst design in another."</p><br>
<p>The Hofmann Building, also known as the Harvester Building, is a historic building located in downtown Ottumwa, Iowa, United States. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson, Brooks & Borg.</p><br>
<h2>History and significance</h2><br>
<p>The six-story brick structure, which was completed in 1941, rises 73.18 ft above the ground. Hofmann Drug was located on this corner until it was destroyed in a fire. This building&#39;s construction utilized then modern fire safety codes when it was built to replace the old Hofman Drug. It became known as the Harvester Building in the 1980s. Beginning in 2008, the building was converted into apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Patrick Murphy House is a historic house at 345 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1873, it is a good example of Italianate architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Patrick Murphy House is located north of the Windsor town center, on the west side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159) between Kennedy Road and Old Kennedy Road. Palisado Road is historically the major north–south road on the west bank of the Connecticut River. The house is a two-story brick building, with a low-pitch hip roof. It is basically rectangular, with a slightly projecting rectangular section on the left side. The roof has an extended eave, and there are a few small windows set just below the eave in the attic level.

A single-story porch extends across the front and around the left side to the projecting section. It has turned posts with decorative brackets at the top, and slender turned balusters. Windows under the porch are of full length, while other windows are set in rectangular openings with brownstone sills and lintels. A two-story ell with porch extends to the rear of the main block, and there is a period carriage house on the property</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1873; it is one of several Italianate brick houses in Windsor, and makes a part of 19th-century streetscape of the Palisado Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Kost Farm Barn in Olivet, South Dakota is a Gothic-arch barn which was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story wood barn with clapboard siding, on a concrete foundation. It has a gothic arch roof over its main section. There is also a one-story lean-to section on the north side.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "an excellent example of the Gothic Arch Barn in South Dakota."</p><br>
<p>The St. Charles City Bakery is a historic commercial building constructed in St. Charles, Minnesota, United States, in 1876. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for being the last remnant of St. Charles&#39; original business district, which was lost to an 1891 fire and relocation to a more central, trackside location.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The St. Charles City Bakery is a two-story brick building with a footprint of 20 by. It stands on a limestone basement. The semicircular arches over the windows and doors are characteristic of Italianate architecture, a popular style at the time of its construction.</p><br>
<p>The principle façade, facing west, has a central entryway flanked by a symmetrical window on either side. Wood panels under the two windows complement the paneling of the double doors. All three apertures are topped by semicircular windows set into brick arches and divided into four equal wedges by muntins. A belt course between the first and second floors and a cornice at the roofline bring some low-relief decoration to the otherwise plain façade.</p><br>
<p>The building originally had exposed red brick, but the walls have since been painted over. A wooden stairway on the north side, leading up to a second-floor entry at what was once just a window, is also a later addition. A one-story wing of concrete block was added to the south in 1913. This was later removed and then replaced with a metal shed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The community of St. Charles was platted in 1854 while the town of Chattanooga arose just half a mile (.8 km) to the south. In 1864 the Winona and St. Peter Railroad routed tracks between the two towns. New businesses began appearing along Whitewater Avenue stretching away from both downtowns toward the new tracks. By 1868 the wheat fields between the two communities had disappeared, and Chattanooga formally merged into the city of St. Charles.</p><br>
<p>The intersection of Whitewater Avenue and 5th Street (then still called Winona Street) continued to form the heart of St. Charles main business district. In 1876 local baker Frederick Kuebler commissioned Conrad Bohn to construct a new brick building for his bakery on the intersections southeast corner. The new bakery was an early example of the more-permanent brick and stone buildings that were replacing the community&#39;s original wood-frame businesses.</p><br>
<p>By 1891, Frederick Kuebler&#39;s bakery had become the headquarters of the St. Charles Times. On April 26 of that year a major fire destroyed three blocks of downtown St. Charles. The former bakery was one of only two commercial buildings to survive the devastation. Rather than rebuild in what by then had become the north end of town, a new downtown arose three blocks to the south. This location was more central for merged St. Charles and adjacent to the Winona and Southwestern Railway facilities that had been laid down the year before. The Whitewater Avenue Commercial Historic District preserves a row of seven buildings from this new construction. Meanwhile, the commercial beginnings of St. Charles were all but erased. The St. Charles City Bakery building is the only surviving remnant of the original downtown.</p><br>
<p>The Palisado Avenue Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential streetscape in northeastern Windsor, Connecticut. Extending along Palisado Avenue  between the Farmington River and Bissell Ferry Road, it is a basically 18th-century street view, populated mainly with houses from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Windsor was one of the first communities on the Connecticut River to be settled by English colonists. Its early center was established on the high ground overlooking the mouth of the Farmington River, where the Palisado Green is now located, with the towns first cemetery (now called the Palisado Cemetery) to its west. Extending north from this point is the Palisado Ridge, which overlooks the floodplains of the Connecticut River to the east. Palisado Avenue was laid out on this ridge, with house lots lining the road and agricultural lands to the east and west. The towns main commercial center moved south of the Farmington River in the 1750s, but the two areas remained united as a community by the construction of the first bridge across the Farmington in the late 18th century. The town&#39;s principal church was also relocated at that time to the Palisado Green; built in 1794, it is a fine example of Federal architecture with later Greek Revival additions.</p><br>
<p>The streetscape of Palisado Avenue beyond the area of the green is basically residential, with houses widely spaced and set well back from the road. There are a number of instances of Windsor&#39;s varied brick houses, including the Italianate Patrick Murphy House and Georgian Taylor Chapman House, but most of the buildings are two-story frame buildings. Stylistically they are dominated by Georgian, Federal, and Colonial Revival styles, giving the area a distinctly 18th or early 19th-century flavor. There a modest number of different Victorian styles, including the Second Empire Henry Magill House, and there are only a few examples of early 20th-century styles.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Payne House is a historic house at 27 Park Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1830, it is a well-preserved example of a brick house with Greek Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Daniel Payne House is located in southern Windsor, on the south side of Park Avenue (Connecticut Route 178), a short way west of its junction with Connecticut Route 159. It is a two-story brick building, with a low-pitch gabled roof and four interior brick chimneys. The main facade is four bays wide, with the main entrance in the center-right bay. The entry is sheltered by a Victorian porch with a gabled roof and turned posts. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with narrow brownstone sills and lintels. A band of brick corbelling extends around the building at the cornice level, giving the side gable ends a pedimented appearance. A 20th-century garage is located behind the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1830. Its first documented owner was Clarissa Loomis, who sold it in 1855 to Daniel Payne, a farmer. The house is a well-preserved example of brick houses that were built in larger number in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Abel House, located at 2601 Paseo Drive in Great Bend, Kansas is a Lustron house built in 1949. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>It is a "Westchester Deluxe" model. It was built and sold by Dan Brack, the Lustron dealer in Great Bend. It was bought by Walter and Betty Abel in 1949, and they lived there until 1952. It was then used as a rental until the time of the NRHP registration.</p><br>
<p>The Wolf Hotel, located at 104 E. Santa Fe in Ellinwood in Barton County, Kansas, was built in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect S.S. Voigt in Italianate style. It is a commercial two-part commercial block building which is 140 ft deep (east to west) and 50 ft wide at its west end. It is narrower, 30 ft at the east end.</p><br>
<p>The Eli Phelps House is a historic house at 18 Marshall Phelps Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1860, it is one of the town&#39;s largest and most elaborate examples of Italianate architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Eli Phelps House stands in what is now a residential area of northern Windsor, on the north side of Marshall Phelps Road, just west of Kendrick Lane. It is a two-story masonry structure, with a flat roof that has deep eaves supported by paired Italianate brackets. The roof is topped by a square cupola, also with a deep bracketed roof, with groups of round-arch windows on each side. The north and south sides of the building each have a projecting polygonal window bay two stories in height. Most windows are set in rectangular openings with simple trim, and have cut stone sills and lintels. A single-story porch wraps around the east and south sides. A two-story brick ell extends to the rear of the house, joining it to a brick carriage house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1860 by Eli Phelps, a tobacco farmer. The size and scale of the house demonstrate the prosperity of Windsors farmers in the mid-19th century. Of the towns surviving Italianate houses, this one is the largest and most elaborately styled.</p><br>
<p>The William Shelton House is a historic house at 40 Pleasant Street in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1830, it is a good local example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Shelton House is located northwest of Windsor center, at the southwest corner of Pleasant and East Streets. It is a -story masonry structure, built out of red brick with stone trim. It is covered by a side gable roof, with two interior chimneys rising through the roof ridge. The main facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a transom window. The windows are set in rectangular openings, with cut stone sills and lintels. The side gables ends are pedimented, with half-round windows set in the gable. A single-story gabled brick ell extends to the right.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1830 by William Shelton. The bricks for its construction came from the brickyard of William Mack, which was located at the foot of Pleasant Street. This house is, along with the Daniel Payne House on Park Avenue, one of the town&#39;s best example of the transitional Federal-Greek Revival style. The half-round gable windows and transom are Federal in style, while the window treatments are Greek Revival.</p><br>
<p>Angelus is a historic house located at 1114 North Cutting Avenue in Jennings, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>Built by the Jaenke family in 1907, the two-story frame house is Colonial Revival in style. Its entrance portico includes two sets of paired Ionic columns.</p><br>
<p>A second one and a half story contributing building is present in the area, as well as a non-contributing modern carport/storage building.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The old Jennings Post Office is a historic post office building located at 118 West Plaquemine Street in Jennings, Louisiana. It is currently used as the Jefferson Davis Parish Library.</p><br>
<p>It is a -story brick public building described as "Neo-Federal" in style, which served as post office for Jennings from 1915 until 1976. It was renovated and reopened as the headquarters of the Jefferson Davis Parish library system in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Its design is credited to James A. Wetmore, but the NRHP nomination asserts it is "actually the work of Louis A. Simon. Although Wetmore was federal supervising architect from 1915 to 1933, he was a lawyer by training, and his design responsibilities were carried out by Simon, who was superintendent of the architectural section of the Office of the Supervising Architect."</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The More Mileage Gas Station, located at 602 North Main in Jennings in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, is a historic filling station which was built in 1938. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 2004.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed to be "locally significant in the history of transportation as a rare surviving example of a once considerably more common building type in the Jefferson Davis parish seat of Jennings. Historic filling stations are icons of the early automobile age, but given the ever-changing world of commerce, they are becoming a rare breed."</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Roberts in Pratt, Kansas, which has also been known as Hotel Parrish, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>It is an eight-storey hotel built in 1930. It has gold brick walls and Art Deco style. It served as a hotel until the 1970s.</p><br>

<p>Its NRHP nomination deems it "the largest and most highly styled historic hotel in Pratt" and "significant as an early and sophisticated example of the Art Deco style in central Kansas."</p><br>
<p>The Vernier Street–Swan Creek Bridge was a historic bridge carrying Vernier Street over Swan Creek in Ira Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It was at one time one of the oldest remaining curved-chord though girder bridges, a design unique to the state of Michigan. The bridge was demolished in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1914, the bridge that until that point spanned Swan Creek at this site was determined to be unsafe. The local community approached the St. Clair County Road Commission and requested a new bridge be built. The Commission did preliminary work, and by October 1915 estimated a cost of $8000 to replace the bridge. However, the project was delayed, and canceled in late 1916. However, the project was revived in 1921/22 by the state of Michigan. The Michigan State Highway Department constructed two trunk line bridges over Swan Creek, both of which were 50-foot concrete girder spans with 22-foot roadway. One was Rose Construction of Marine City for $9,959.20, and the other, at this location, was constructed by contractor J. E. Mason of</p><br>
<p>Marine City for $11,894.42.</p><br>
<p>In 1932, and eventually demolished in the summer of that year.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was a concrete through-girder bridge with a curved top chord. Each of the solid concrete girders contained a recessed panel which held six smaller recessed panels. The endposts supporting the girder endposts were topped with a slanted pedestal, two of which contained plaques identifying the bridge as a state highway department trunkline bridge constructed during the tenure of Frank F. Rogers&#39;s as commissioner. The bridge spanned 45 feet, and carried a 30-foot-wide deck with a 22-foot-wide roadway.</p><br>
<p>The Seventh Street–Black River Bridge is a bridge carrying Seventh Street over the Black River in Port Huron, Michigan. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It is the only single-leaf bascule bridge in the state of Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A bridge was constructed in this location in about 1875. In 1928, the city determined that the existing structure was insufficient, being far too narrow for passing automobile traffic. The city prepared to sell bonds to raise the estimated $240,000 to build the bridge. However, the Great Depression intervened, and further action was delayed until 1931. At that time, the city hired John Alexander Low Waddell to design this bridge. Waddell completed his design by July of that year, at which time the city began demolition of the old bridge.</p><br>
<p>The city hired the firm of Willits Brothers to construct the substructure of the new bridge, which was completed by the beginning of 1932. The Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company was hired to construct the superstructure, which they started on in late 1931 and delivered to Port Huron in mid-1932. In 1962, the bridge decking was replaced, and in 1970 a major renovation took place. Further renovations occurred in the 1970s and 1990s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Seventh Street Bridge contains a single bascule leaf spanning 114 feet. A counterweight to the leaf mass is constructed of 620 tons of reinforced concrete, placed opposite a pair of trunnions supporting the bridge on the north bank. The leaf consists of two deck plate girders spaced 35 feet apart. The flooring is a metal mesh system, installed in 1960 to replace the original Southern yellow pine flooring. The roadway is 40 feet wide, flanked by sidewalks, with railings on the outside. The entire span is 565.8 feet from railing to railing. An operator&#39;s house located at one end of the bridge was heavily modified in 1970, and demolished and replaced in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Jeddo Road–South Branch Mill Creek Drain Bridge is a bridge carrying Jeddo Road over the south branch of the Mill Creek Drain in Brockway Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>

<p>In 1939, the St. Clair County Road Commission decided to replace on old bridge located at this site, which was deemed too narrow (having a 12-foot roadway) and with too little carrying capacity. Ben L. Parker, on the Commission staff, designed this bridge. A contract to construct it, for $9855, was awarded to Marshall Campbell of Port Huron. The bridge was constructed that year.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was closed to traffic in 2016 due to the deterioration of concrete and steel reinforcement in the bridge deck. Funding is being sought for repair.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Jeddo Road bridge is a two-span, steel-stringer bridge with a solid concrete pier located in the center of the stream below. Each span consists of six steel stringers braced with I-beams, with a maximum span length of 29 feet. The entire structure is 74 feet long and 23 feet wide, with a 20-foot-wide roadway edged by concrete curbs. The bridge is lined with metal railings built of an angle and a channel beam, connected to posts made from angles.</p><br>
<p>The Wadhams Road–Pine River Bridge was a bridge carrying Wadhams Road over the Pine River in Saint Clair Township, Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This bridge was a joint product of the Michigan State Highway Department and the St. Clair County Road Commission, with each party paying half. The State Highway Department solicited bids to construct this bridge in mid-1927. They awarded the contract to Walter Toebe and Company of Shingleton, Michigan, for $37,679 (equivalent to $ in ), with an additional cost for cement of $2,791 (equivalent to $ in ). The total cost of the project was $47,971 (equivalent to $ in ).</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wadhams Road Bridge was 150 ft long, and consisted of two 70 ft curved chord, concrete through-girder spans. The bridge was 28 ft wide, and carried a 22 ft roadway with concrete girders on each side, serving as railings. Each girder contained five openings, with a row of 14 recessed square panels below. The bridge sat on a solid concrete pier with slightly pointed cutwaters on each end.</p><br>
<p>Algona Junior and Senior High School Building and High School Building Annex are historic buildings located in Algona, Iowa, United States. It opened as Algona High School in 1931, and it served that purpose until 1970 when a new high school building opened on the south side of town. In 1951 an annex building was built on the corner of South Harlan and East Nebraska Streets. The buildings were then converted into a middle school beginning in 1971 and they continued to serve that purpose until 2008. Both buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The 1931 building is a two-story brick structure that was built in the Neoclassical style. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson, Souers & Thomas. The building, located in the middle of the block, features a gymnasium and auditorium in the middle of the building, classrooms on the east and west sides of the building, and administrative offices on the south side. The building was designed at the time when extracurricular activities for sports and theatre, multi-function areas as gym/cafeteria and library/study hall, and "progressive education" ideologies that provided more hands-on learning for science, commercial, manual training, and domestic</p><br>
<p>science were all becoming popular. The single-story brick annex was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Keffer and Jones in the Modern Movement style. It featured an open floor plan and glass block walls. This building was used for the cafeteria and kitchen, and it provided space for music, band, and industrial arts.</p><br>
<p>The Stony Hill School is a historic school building at 1195 Windsor Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1856 and extensively altered after a move in 1899, it is a good example of a Colonial Revival district schoolhouse built out of brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stony Hill School is located in southern Windsor, on the west side of Windsor Avenue (Connecticut Route 159) just north of its junction with Hillcrest Road. It is a single-story masonry structure, with a rectangular main block and projecting entry vestibule, each covered by a gabled roof. The gable ends are framed in wood and finished in shingles, and have returns at the base. The entry projection is symmetrical, with two small square fixed-pane windows flanking an arched entrance with transom window. Windows are otherwise set in rectangular openings, with cut brownstone sills and slightly splayed headers made of soldier bricks. A wood-frame addition to the rear of the building provides space originally used as an outhouse.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1856 to a simpler plan, and was originally located across the street. In 1899, Doctor Evastus Case traded with the town, giving them this parcel in exchange for the one on which it stood. At that time the building underwent major alterations, giving it its present form. It is relatively little altered since that time, and is a good example of Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Sophia Sweetland House is a historic house at 458 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1845, it is a good local example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sophia Sweetland House stands in northern Windsor, on the east side of Palisado Avenue (Connecticut Route 159) a short way north of its junction with Bissell Ferry Road. It is a -story brick structure, with a front-facing gabled roof. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the right bay, framed by sidelight and transom windows. It is sheltered by a porch with slender columns and brackets that form arched openings, and has a low-pitch roof with extended eaves supported by decoratively cut brackets. Windows are generally set in rectangular openings, with brownstone sills and lintels. The exception is the front gable window, which is set in a round-arch opening. Two-story sections project from either side, with a corbelled cornice running below the roof line.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1845 by Isaac Sweetland, a farmer who lived here with his wife Sophia. The house&#39;s Greek Revival features include the roof gable orientation and window treatments, while the Italianate is represented in the entrance porch and gable window.</p><br>
<p>The Red Oak Downtown Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Red Oak, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. The historic district covers most of the city&#39;s central business district. It is a flat area of land in an otherwise hilly region. The district is centered on Fountain Square, a public green space around which the town had been platted in 1857. A second public square was added in 1890 for the Montgomery County Courthouse after Red Oak won a special election to move the county seat from Frankfort.</p><br>
<p>The district contains a mix of attached commercial buildings and free-standing government, commercial and light industrial buildings. The courthouse (1891), Red Oak Firehouse and City Jail (1898/1901), and the Red Oak Public Library (1909) are all individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Most of the buildings are two-part commercial blocks that reflect the styles and materials that were popular when they were built. The single-story buildings are generally one-part commercial blocks or roadside commercial buildings. Fountain Square is the contributing site and all of the contributing and non-contributing objects are located there, generally as war memorials or park elements.</p><br>
<p>The Granite City YMCA is a historic YMCA building located at 2001 Edison Avenue in Granite City, Illinois. The building was built in 1924–26 for Granite City&#39;s branch of the YMCA, which was founded in 1916. St. Louis, Missouri-based architects Wedemeyer and Nelson designed the Late Gothic Revival style building; their design features a red brick and green tile exterior punctuated by vertical shafts and topped by a parapet. The building is the only institutional building in Granite City designed in the Gothic Revival style. The YMCA used the building for their activities, which included athletics, community education and citizenship classes, community gatherings, and charity work. The building closed in 2004 when the YMCA moved elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 5, 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Marine City Water Works is a public works building located at 229 South Main Street in Marine City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>What is now Marine City was laid out in 1820 by Captain Samuel Ward, a shipbuilder from Vermont. During the next 25 years, over 30 shipyards were established in the area. These, and the discovery of salt deposits in 1882, led to a substantial growth in Marine City. The influx of residents in the 1870s and 1880s led to concerns over public health, and Marine City&#39;s first public water works system was constructed in 1885.</p><br>
<p>However, by the late 1920s, the 1885 facility was clearly no longer adequate at supplying clean water to the community. However, three special elections to raise money for a new facility all were defeated. A sharp increase in water-borne disease, including typhoid fever, in the area led the Michigan State Health Department to mandate a new treatment facility be constructed. In 1935, the city applied to the Public Works Administration for a $45,000 grant to cover 45% of the cost of the new facility. The grant was approved, and voters approved the raising of the remaining funds soon thereafter. The city hired Pate & Hirn Engineers of Detroit to prepare plans for the new facility, and the Bass Engineering & Construction Company to build the plant. Construction began in December 1935, and was completed in August 1936.</p><br>
<p>An addition was constructed in 1968, and substantial rehabilitation was done in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Marine City Water Works is located at the edge of downtown Marine City, on the bank of the St. Clair River. It consists of two structures: a main building and a nearby sedimentation basin with wash water tank tower. An underground clear water reservoir is located below grade. The main building faces west toward Water Street, and the buildings are surrounded on all sides by grass lawn.</p><br>
<p>The main building is a small one-story, rectangular Art Deco building with walls of load-bearing brick on a concrete block foundation. It measures roughly 53 feet by 50 feet. It has a flat roof and low parapet walls with stone coping. Two corners of the building contain filtration tanks, which project beyond the walls; the top of the projection end beneath the windowsill line.</p><br>
<p>The front has an asymmetrical facade, four bays wide, with a projecting off-center entry bay. A small stairway leads to a landing in front of the entryway, which is through a modern steel door. Beside the door are four commemorative plaques and an original light fixture. There are two secondary entrances, one on the side, and one on the rear. The original windows are single-hung wood sash units with four horizontal lights. Many of these have been replaced in 2005 with modern one-over-one light, triple-track vinyl sash units.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains a lobby, small office, laboratory space, and a filter room.</p><br>
<p>The sedimentation basin is a freestanding rectangular structure, located approximately five feet behind the main building. It is constructed of brick, with the original footprint measuring 60 feet by 37 feet. A 20-foot wide addition was constructed in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The old Cedar Falls Post Office is an historic building located in Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1918, this was the citys first federal government building, and Black Hawk County became the only county in the state with two post offices that reported directly to the United States Post Office Department. It was built at the time when the design of federal buildings were controlled by the Department of the Treasury. This building was designed by James A. Wetmore, who was the Acting Supervising Architect of the USA Office of the Supervising Architect. It was built by Des Moines contractor Frederick C. Weitz. The single-story Neoclassical brick structure features a symmetrical facade, a slightly recessed central bay, a round-arched entryway flanked by round arched windows, and Bedford stone trim.</p><br>
<p>The building served as a post office until 1961. At that time it was acquired by the city of Cedar Falls and utilized as an annex for city hall, which is immediately to the west. It was used for office space, a school, and for records storage. The city leased the building to the Cedar Falls Development Group in 2015, and they rehabilitated it and sublet it for retail space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Royal Typewriter Company building was located at 150 New Park Avenue in the Parkville neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1907, it was the principal manufacturing facility of the Royal Typewriter Company, a major local employer, until 1972. Most of the building was destroyed by fire in 1992; the remainder was subsequently razed and the site now houses a shopping center, where a commemorative plaque is located. The building, which was one of the city&#39;s largest examples of late 19th-century mill construction, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The site of the Royal Typewriter factory was on the east side of New Park Avenue, roughly between Kane Street and Francis Avenue. It consisted of a long axis running parallel to the road, from which seven broad pavilions projected toward the road. Despite its 20th-century construction dates, the building was built using 19th-century mill construction methods, including load-bearing brick walls. Stylistically the building was an eclectic mix of Victorian elements, including Gothic crenellations and elaborately decorated towers.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the building, its northeastern end, was built in 1907, and the structure gradually grew, achieving its largest size around 1947. At its height, it was the centerpiece of Hartford&#39;s leading role in the global production of typewriters, along with the competing Underwood Typewriter Company. Royal Typewriter was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1906, but rapidly outgrew a small facility there. Charles Cook acquired a controlling interest in the company, and was instrumental in the relocation of its manufacturing operations to Hartford in 1909. After a series of corporate mergers, the Hartford production facility was closed down in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Various efforts to adapt the complex to other uses failed over the following years, and about two-thirds of the complex was destroyed by fire in 1992. The surviving remnants of the factory were subsequently demolished, and a supermarket was put up in its place.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Anthony Hall Trinity College chapter house is an historic fraternity building located at 340 Summit Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built between 1877 and 1878, it is a significant early work of the American architect J. Cleaveland Cady. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Epsilon chapter of the Fraternity of Delta Psi (St. Anthony Hall) was chartered Thursday, October 17, 1850 at Trinity College. Its members have played significant roles throughout the college&#39;s history. The chapter house was built between 1877 and 1878 to a design by architect J. Cleaveland Cady, an 1860 Trinity College graduate and a Delta Psi member. The building was completed at a cost of $68,00—$40,000 of which was donated by Robert Habersham Coleman, an 1877 Trinity graduate and Delta Psi fraternity member, who become, albeit briefly, the wealthiest man in the United States. Other fraternity members donated as well toward construction and land acquisition, and the building was completed free of debt.</p><br>
<p>The Epsilon chapter house is the first building constructed in the United States for the sole purpose of being a college fraternity house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Cady&#39;s design for the Epsilon chapter house was a departure from many collegiate secret society buildings of the time, particularly the ones at Yale; its large windows, both front and back, as well as its prominent oak front doors with carved glyphs were seen as a welcoming feature, yet its imposing architecture did not fail to communicate a strong element of secretiveness that continued to mark the character of the organization.</p><br>
<p>Furthermore, it continues to serve strictly as a meeting hall with no dormitories or sleeping facilities, a characteristic of secret societies. Prominent features include an ample foyer at the entrance, an octagonal living room, a library which at the time of the houses construction served as the fraternity dining room, and recreational facilities in the basement, including a pool table room, a bar room, and a reception area. Today, it is the oldest St. Anthony Hall fraternitys house still in use.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation and addition</h2><br>
<p>With the 2001 inspection failure of an external metal fire–escape that had been grandfathered in by the City of Hartford years before, alumni members led a campaign to bring the building&#39;s fire exit door into compliance through the addition of a smaller second tower on the left rear side of the building. A fundraising campaign was launched to complete the structure within a year. Careful measures had to be taken to harmonize this addition with the rest of the building, so a design was chosen that would blend harmoniously with the tower. The granite on the exterior of the addition came from the same New Hampshire quarry that provided the exterior for the original building. Precautions were taken to improve the entrance and exit into the basement area, as well as convert the old hatch door fire escape into a full size door. The new addition was inaugurated in 2003.</p><br>
<p>East Park is a recreational park located in Mason City, Iowa, United States. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It contains 57.6 acre of land along the Winnebago River. The park features picnic areas, a 9-hole disc golf course, three tennis courts, volleyball court, basketball courts, fishing, a sledding hill, playgrounds including the Prairie Playground, a 2.08 mi hard surface trail system, a band shell and a gazebo.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>East Park was established in 1909 as the second recreational park in Mason City. Its original 40 acre were designed by Des Moines landscape architect Frank E. Pease. He laid out the parks curvilinear street system (contributing structure), which emphasizes its landscape of flat prairie and rolling hills. Pease is also responsible for designing the parks water system (contributing structure), which includes Willow Creek and a duck pond created in a marshy area on the east side of the park. In 1937 the Works Progress Administration (WPA) added concrete edges to Willow Creek and concrete spillways to control and contain the water during floods. The size of the park expanded over the years until it reached its current 57.6 acres in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The East Park Band Shell (1924), which is individually listed on the National Register, is located near the center of the park. Other park amenities that contribute to the historic nature of the park include the two picnic shelters, Shelter #1 (WPA; 1937) and Shelter #4 (1965), tennis courts (WPA; 1937), a stone footbridge (WPA; c. 1937), and the Parks Department maintenance building (1956). The tennis courts were part of Pease&#39;s original plan but were not added until later. There is also a Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway steam engine (1912) that was placed in the park near the railroad tracks in 1957. The non-contributing resources are park amenities that were built, or significantly altered, between 1970 and about 2000.</p><br>
<p>Parker&#39;s Woods is a recreational park located in Mason City, Iowa, United States. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It contains 13 acre of land along Willow Creek. The park features picnic areas, three tennis courts, volleyball court, basketball courts, playgrounds, and fishing in Willow Creek.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to being a park, this land had been a part of A.T. Parkers farm since 1874. It was utilized as pasture land and because of its proximity to the Union Pacific railroad tracks, Parker allowed it to be used as a circus grounds. His widow and a daughter, Martha J. Parker and Belle Parker Jackson, donated the land to Mason City for a park in 1939. It has been used for that purpose ever since. The park was developed from 1939 to 1941 by the National Youth Administration (NYA), a Depression-era relief program that provided part-time work and job training to young men and women. It is a rare example of a park that was developed in its entirety by the NYA in Iowa. The plan for the parks development was created by Cedar Rapids landscape architect Floyd W. Sapp. Development was limited as the Parker&#39;s wanted the park to be kept in a natural state.</p><br>
<p>The NYA began by clearing brush and poison ivy from the park. They also built the rustic picnic shelter and entrance bollards, which were completed in 1941. At the same time, the NYA was also involved with projects in East Park. The Parker&#39;s Woods project provided employment for 40 young men. Other improvements in the park such as playgrounds and athletic fields and courts were added by the city after World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Abiathar and Nancy White House is a historic building located in Burlington, Iowa, United States. Built c. 1840, this is the largest Federal-style building in the city. Abiathar and Nancy White moved their family to Burlington from Dighton, Massachusetts in 1838. They acquired this property the same year. Abiathar was a carpenter who may have built this house. One of Abiathar and Nancy&#39;s sons, Charles Abiathar White, became a well-known geologist and paleontologist. This was his childhood home.</p><br>
<p>The house was built as a single-family dwelling, but since 1850 it has been listed as a multiple-family dwelling. It was built into a limestone hillside. The brick structure rises three stories and includes an attic. It features side gables with parapets between the chimneys, dentiled brick cornice, limestone lintels and sills, and a two-story frame front porch. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Zenas Aplington House is a historic house located at 123 N. Franklin Avenue in Polo, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1853 by Zenas Aplington, the founder of Polo. When the nearby community of Buffalo Grove refused to let the Illinois Central Railroad build through the town in 1852, Aplington provided his farmland to the railroad; Polo developed around the farmland, and by 1856 nearly all of Buffalo Grove had moved to the new town. Aplington chose the community&#39;s name in honor of Marco Polo. His role in founding Polo and his work for the Republican Party led him to befriend Abraham Lincoln, and Lincoln spent two nights in the house in 1856. The house itself has a vernacular Upright and Wing plan, which consists of a two-story gabled main section with a one-story gabled wing, and features Greek Revival details.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 5, 2017.</p><br>
<p>St. Michael&#39;s Mission, the first permanent Catholic mission to the Navajo, was established in 1898. A school was opened in 1902.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1895, a ranch known as "Cienega" was purchased by the Catholic Church from a local rancher by Katharine Drexel, at the prompting of Father Stephan of the Catholic Indian Bureau. It included a building which had been built by Billy Meadows as an intended trading post, but which had never been utilized as such. Three years later the building was remodeled in order to be used by Catholic missionaries as a mission. The land was located six miles outside of Fort Defiance, and about one mile outside the boundaries of the Navajo Reservation. There was initial difficulty in finding personnel willing to staff the mission, but Sister Katharine visited the Cincinnati province of Franciscans in 1897, and they agreed to provide the manpower. The site is owned by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, and now consists of 640 acre. In addition to the still active mission church, there is a museum on site, displaying Navajo artifacts, as well as items from the early Franciscan presence on the site. In 2023, the Franciscans announced that they would transfer the mission to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The mission is approximately 27 x 60 feet, with the length running east to west, and has a gabled shingle roof. There are three doors and three windows on the north side, while the south side there are no doors and four windows; both the east and west sides have a single window. The interior walls were plastered, and the original single room was split into six rooms. It contained four bedrooms, three of which you had to pass through to reach the chapel, which was the largest room, and situated on the west side of the building. In the chapel there were wooden stations of the cross, measuring four inches by two inches, as well as four plain wood kneelers. The chapel was heated by a small wood stove, and there was a small organ in the room next to the chapel, which provided music. There was another larger room on the east end which served as a combination kitchen-dining-living room, as well as a reception area.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>Some of the books written by Weber and Haile include Vocabulary of the Navajo Language (1912); Manual of Navaho Grammar (1929); Learning Navajo, a four-volume work penned between 1942 and 1949; and A Stem Vocabulary of the Navaho Language (1951).</p><br>
<p>The Salem Township Bridge E-1 is a historic stone arch bridge over an unnamed stream on 446th Street in rural Turner County, South Dakota, west of Hurley. Built in 1940, it is one of a modest number of bridges surviving in the county that was built with New Deal funding. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Salem Township Bridge is located in rural southwestern Turner County, about 10 mi west of Hurley. It carries 446th Street, a rural gravel road, across an unnamed stream between United States Route 18 and 285th Avenues. It is a single-arch stone structure, its arches 6 ft in length. A headwall rises above the arches on each side, about 1 ft above road grade, and extends into angled wing walls. A stone retaining wall extends south on one side of the structure, giving it a total length of about 50 ft. It is built out of heavily mortared local quartzite and granite fieldstone.</p><br>
<p>This bridge is one of 180 stone arch bridges built in Turner County as part of a New Deal-era federal jobs program. The county administration was able to build stone bridges at a lower cost than then-conventional steel beam bridges because of the availability of experienced stone workers, and the federal subsidy to the wages they were paid. The county was responsible for supervising the work crews and providing the building materials. This bridge was built in 1940 by a county crew to a standardized state design.</p><br>
<p>The Marcus Beebe House, in Ipswich, South Dakota, is a historic house built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>

<p>The Loop-Harrison Mansion, also known as the Joseph M. Loop House was built as a private house located at 228 South Ridge Street in Port Sanilac, Michigan. It now serves as part of the Sanilac County Historical Museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Joseph Miller Loop was born in Elmira, New York, in 1814, and lived there until 1933. He moved to New Orleans, Wisconsin, and Illinois before arriving in Michigan in 1843. Loop married his first wife, Caroline Barteau, some time just before 1840. Caroline died about five years later, and Loop married Jane Gardner Loop in 1846. By 1850, Loop was practicing medicine in Novi. The Loops moved to Port Sanilac in 1854, where Joseph opened a medical office. Loop attended medical school at the University of Michigan, and graduated in 1855. The Loops lived in a cabin until 1862, when they constructed a clapboard house.</p><br>
<p>Loop built this house in the 1870s for use as both his office and residence. Construction began in 1872, Joseph and Jane Loop lived in the house until their deaths, Jane in 1895 and Joseph in 1903. The house then passed to The Loop&#39;s daughter, Ada, and her husband Rev. Julius Harrison. They lived in the house with their two sons Stanley and Fred until their deaths, Ada in 1925 and Julius in 1933.</p><br>
<p>Ada&#39;s son Stanley was a Great Lakes shipping captain. In 1964, when Captain Stanley Harrison deeded the house and surrounding property to the Sanilac County Historical Society, to use as a museum. Stanley continued to live in the house until his death in 1977. The society restored the building, and continues to use it as a museum and it is open for tours.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a 2-1/2 story brick Second Empire style house with a mansard roof. The house has two distinctive, classically detailed chimneys, reportedly constructed by an itinerant Irish mason who just happened to be in the area during construction. The main wing of the house measures approximately 40 feet by 50 feet, and the west wing approximately 24 feet by 44 feet. The interior contains nineteen rooms, including a doctor&#39;s office, library, and a third floor ballroom.</p><br>
<p>The Hugh and Matilda Boyle House and Cemetery Historic District, also known as Boyleston Cemetery, is a nationally recognized historic district located west of Lowell, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Hugh Boyle established a mill along the Skunk River in the mid- to late-1840s, and he built this vernacular stone house (c. 1850) to the south for his familys residence. Even though there were significant stone resources along the river, this is one of the few stone houses in this part of the county. Boyle died in 1854 and is buried in the small cemetery to the west of the house. Three of his children were previously buried there. The mill continued to operate and the area became known as Boyleston. A post office was established in the lower level of the house in 1868 and it operated there until 1871. There is also an indication that a store was also located on the lower level of the house. Boyleston continued to flourish until the mill was destroyed by ice and flooding in the late 1880s when it was owned and operated by Adam Tempel. Tempels daughter and son-in-law, Edward and Elizabeth Chaney, bought the property and operated a farm here from 1889 to 1950. The last marked burial in the cemetery was that of Adam Tempel in 1893.</p><br>

<p>The Beecher Mausoleum is a community mausoleum located at the junction of Illinois Route 1 and Horner Lane in Washington Township, Will County, Illinois, southeast of the village of Beecher. The mausoleum was built in 1913–14, making it an early example of a community mausoleum. The first community mausoleum in the United States was built in 1907, and changing burial traditions and successful marketing made them a popular method of burial through the 1930s. These mausoleums were most common in large cities, and the Beecher Mausoleum is a rare early example of a community mausoleum in a small, rural village. Architect Cecil E. Bryan, who designed many community mausoleums for the National Mausoleum Company, designed the mausoleum in the Neoclassical style.</p><br>
