<p>The John L. Fead House is a private house located at 5349 Washington Street in Lexington, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John L. Fead was born in Bavaria, Germany in 1834. In 1852, he emigrated to America, and settled in Lexington, where an uncle had preceded him. Here he married Augusta Walthers, and established himself as a merchant. He eventually partnered with a local friend, Rudolph Andreae, to establish the first local woolen mill. By 1870, the pair had constructed a brick mill building in Lexington just south of the current location of the Fead House.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1890s, Fead was wealthy enough to build this large and fashionable house on the shore of Lake Huron. He lived here with his wife Augusta and their nine children.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a 2-1/2 story frame Queen Anne style house, covered with clapboard, with Eastlake detailing. The main facade has two major bays, the right one of which is narrower and recessed. The smaller bay contains a double entry door in a simple squared surround; the larger contains a bay window. A slant-roofed front porch, detailed with turned spindlework and crosswork, spans both bays. The second floor contains a similar bay window to that on the first floor, along with a double-hung sash. Another window is in the gable above. Board and batten siding is applied above the halfway point of the second floor windows.</p><br>
<p>The side elevations each feature a prominent bay window, and one has a side porch similar in appearance to the main front porch. The rear features a single-story addition, original to the house.</p><br>
<p>Woodbine Savings Bank, also known as the Columbia Hotel, Haight Real Estate and Insurance, and Swain Realty, is located in Woodbine, Iowa, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The significance of this building has less to do with banking specifically, and commerce in general. After the building was constructed it housed both the bank and the hotel. The bank occupied the northwest corner of the building and it remained here for forty years. The hotel occupied the southern portion of the building and then it expanded to the east with a new addition not long after its initial construction. A milinary shop occupied its former first-floor location. The building was the largest in town until 1966. The hotel remained for only eight years, and it was one of two hotels in town in those years. Other significant businesses that occupied the building include Boyer Valley Telephone Company, which expanded from one line out of town to multiple lines during its short tenancy here. Other businesses include the town newspaper, the Woodbine Twiner, the Harrison County Rural Electric Cooperative had their first offices here, and Haight Real Estate and Insurance Company, which occupied the bank&#39;s former location for another 40 years.</p><br>
<p>The two-story brick structure follows the Romanesque Revival style. It features two uneven bays separated by an entrance to the second floor. The entries on the first-floor are capped with round arches. The second-floor has pilasters, and a corbel table at the parapet. The entrance to the second floor is highlighted by a raised parapet, giving the allusion of a tower. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The following year it was included as a contributing property in the Woodbine Lincoln Highway and Brick Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Corning Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Corning, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The district covers most of the central business district. It has a linear layout, with twin main streets , associated with Central Park and the Adams County Courthouse  at its uppermost end. This is an unusual town layout and is thought to be the only town in Iowa so configured. The elevation slopes down toward the East Nodaway River, south of the downtown and a light industrial area.</p><br>
<p>The commercial buildings are mostly masonry structures constructed with bricks. Many of them replaced wood-frame structures that were destroyed in an 1896 fire. Two other periods of major development include the years after the Panic of 1893 and the Great Depression. The latter focuses on the role the Federal government played in the enhancement of public art. The buildings are from one- to three stories in height, although most are no taller than two stories. Besides commercial use, buildings here also housed theaters, government functions, especially federal agricultural agencies, and the inclusion of automobile-related businesses. The Corning Opera House (1902) is individually listed on the National Register. The park and its fountain are the contributing site and the contributing object.</p><br>

<p>The Building at 14–16 Pearson Street was a historic residential building located in the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Lumber salesman Edwin S. Hartwell had the building built in 1885 as a side venture into real estate. Architect Julius H. Huber designed the building, which was an unusual example of a Queen Anne-inspired brick building. The buildings facade featured two bays topped with dormers; the more ornate western bay included corbelling, hipped roofs over the windows, and a metal pinnacle atop its dormer. The second floors of both bays included decorative panels, one featuring a mans head and one featuring a woman&#39;s. The building was topped by a mansard roof.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1980. Loyola University Chicago&#39;s Schreiber Center now occupies the site of the building.</p><br>

<p>William R. Roach owned a pea-canning factory in Hart, Michigan. In 1915, he planted an experimental crop north of Lexington, Michigan to determine if the soil was suitable. The crop thrived, and in 1917 Roach proposed an agreement to the Croswell Improvement Association to build a canning factory there. The Improvement Association agreed, money was raised, and work on the foundation of the building began in November 1917. Work ceased during the winter, and was resumed in March 1918. The factory was completed in mid-May. Construction on the adjoining warehouse began in 1918 and ended the next year.</p><br>
<p>At the same time that construction was being completed, Roach dismantled his factory in Hart and moved the equipment to the new plant. Production of canned peas was begun even before the exterior of the plant was finalized. The cannery provided significant employment for the surrounding community. During World War I and World War II, production shifted to supporting the armed forces, with pork and beans being a significant part of the output. William R. Roach retired in the early 1930s, and the cannery business was reorganized and sold to Compton Foods.</p><br>
<p>Stokely Van Camp Foods purchased the plant in 1946, and operated it until its closure in 1978. The factory was demolished in stages, and was completely gone in 1994. The warehouse was used by a local company until 1999.</p><br>

To the right of this bay is the 1884 addition, a two-bay frame structure with similar window styling. A more modern two-story ell, also with sympathetic styling, has been to the left side.</p><br>
<p>The central portion of the house was built in 1831 by Theodore Terry, a nephew of Eli Terry who was like his father and uncle a clockmaker, operating one of the city&#39;s largest clock factories. Terry sold the house in 1850 to Henry Mitchell, a lawyer, businessman, and politician. Mitchell made the addition on the right side of the house. In 1899 it was purchased by Leonard Hayden, whose family owned it at least into the early 1980s.

Wyrick&#39;s entrance gates utilize the same style. A steel maintenance building is the non-contributing building.</p><br>
<h2>Notable people</h2><br>
<p>Freeman Nickerson (1779–1847) – missionary</p><br>
<p>Johnson County Savings Bank, also known as Iowa State Bank, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1912, it is a six-story, brick structure that rises to a height of 72.45 ft. The design of the structure shows the influence of the Chicago Commercial style of architecture and that of architect Louis Sullivan. These influences are found in the building&#39;s arrangement with a base, shaft, and capital. The decorative elements executed in stone and terra cotta show the influence of Neoclassical architecture. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. In 2021, it was included as a contributing property in the Iowa City Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Town Bridge is a historic truss bridge, carrying Town Bridge Road over the Farmington River in Canton, Connecticut. Built in 1895, it is one of only two surviving pin-connected Parker truss bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Town Bridge is located in a rural-residential setting of southwestern Canton, north of the village of Collinsville and about 0.1 mi west of Connecticut Route 179 on Town Bridge Road. It is a single-span Parker truss, with a total length of about 172 ft, and a height above the river of about 12.5 ft. It has a metal deck covered in asphalt, and carries a single lane of traffic. Its entrance portals are adorned with iron cresting.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1895 for the town by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, Connecticuts leading manufacturer of iron bridges at the time. The bridge is distinctive for a number of reasons. It is the only surviving Berlin bridge in the state that is not of lenticular truss design, which then predominated in the companys production, and is one of less than two dozen Berlin bridges left in the state (out of more than 100 originally built). It is one of only two Parker trusses with pinned connections, a method of connecting the truss members that gave way to riveted connections (also present on this structure) by about 1900. The bridge was built as part of a town program to improve all of its crossings of the swift-flowing and flood-prone Farmington River.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend G. Treadway House is a historic house at 100 Oakland Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1915, it is one of the city&#39;s largest and finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture, designed by a major New York architectural firm. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Townsend G. Treadway House is located in Bristol&#39;s Federal Hill neighborhood, long one of its most affluent residential areas. It stands at the southeast corner of Oakland Street and Grove Street, just south of the Federal Hill Historic District. It is a -story brick building, with a gambrel roof and a roughly L-shaped plan. The formal main facade faces west to Oakland Street, and is five bays wide, with a recessed center entrance. The entry recess is arched, and is framed by fluted wooden Corinthian pilasters and a fully pedimented gable. The interior of the recess is finished in wooden paneling, and there is a semi-oval transom above the door. A two-story service ell extends to the rear, its northern facade sheltered by a two-story porch with four Tuscan columns and a modillioned cornice. Both street-facing facades have gabled dormers with round-arch windows. The interior is finished with lavish carved woodwork and other original period features.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1915 for Townsend G. Treadway, a descendant of clockmaker Eli Terry and a member of one of the city&#39;s most influential industrial families. The house was designed by the New York firm Murphy & Dana, whose commissions include a number of other high-profile designs in northwestern Connecticut. Treadway remained in the house until his death in 1972, after which it was sold out of the family. It was enlarged in 1936, to a design by Dana, in which the original single-story kitchen wing was raised to two stories, and the portico added.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Albert Henry Byfield House is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1917, the two-story house combines elements of the Tudor Revival and the Craftsman styles. It was designed by Stuart Hobbs Sims, an engineering professor at the University of Iowa. It features asymmetrical facades, a two-story porch on the east elevation, and a tile roof with a cat-slide gable. The first owner of the house, Dr. Byfield, founded the Pediatrics Department at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>Aurora Colony, also called Aurora Mills, was a Christian utopian communal society founded in 1856 by William Keil in modern-day Aurora, Oregon, US. At its peak in 1868, the Aurora Colony had about 600 people and 15,000 acre of land. The colony, along with Keil&#39;s previously established Bethel colony, was formally dissolved in 1883. In 1974, about 150 acre and 12 buildings of the former colony were inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places as parts of the Aurora Colony Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>William Keil was a Prussian-born tailor who moved to the United States with his wife in the 1830s. He opened open a tailor shop in New York City, and studied pharmacology. He then moved to Pennsylvania and set up a drugstore and sold medicines. Around this time, he began calling himself "Dr. Keil".</p><br>
<p>In 1839, Keil became a preacher after attending a Methodist revival meeting. In Pennsylvania, he began to amass followers, including members of George Rapp&#39;s Economy Colony. In 1844 he and his followers established the Bethel community in Missouri, which at its peak had 650 members.</p><br>
<h2>Founding</h2><br>
<p>Though Keil&#39;s community in Missouri was successful and nearly self-sufficient, he decided to expand his colony to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. In 1853, he sent a scout party to find a location for "A Second Eden".</p><br>
<p>In May 1855, Keil and several members of his Bethel colony in Missouri began the wagon journey to Washington Territory. Four days before they set out, Keil&#39;s son Willy died of malaria. Not wanting to leave his son behind, Keil put the body in a wooden, lead-lined coffin and covered it with whiskey from the Bethel Distillery to preserve it.</p><br>
<p>The group first settled at Willapa Bay, Washington. After spending the winter there, Keil decided the land was not suitable for a self-sufficient agricultural community and began searching for a new location. In 1856 he purchased land and a functioning mill south of Oregon City. He named the Colony Aurora Mills after his daughter, Aurora. The original colony contained 250 members who had left the Bethel Colony with Keil.</p><br>
<h2>Colonial life</h2><br>
<p>The Aurora Colony built homes, schools, business, mills, and a hotel. The colony also created a fruit orchard and produced hand-made goods. The Oregon & California Railway line expanded to pass through Aurora in 1870, which brought additional business to the colony. The train stopped four times a day for meals in its hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Aurora Colony Band became well known on the West Coast, and traveled throughout the region to perform music.</p><br>
<p>The charismatic Keil was the sole leader of the group. As the spiritual leader, he installed his own form of Christianity in the community. Keil preached a simple ideal about brotherhood and love and taught a "No title but Christian" and "No rules but the Bible" form of Christianity.</p><br>
<p>As in many other utopian communities, its founder held special privileges. He instated confession in order to maintain the member&#39;s humility, yet was immune from taking part in confession himself. He was also exempt from taking part in manual labor. Keil lived in a large house in the colony, called "Gross Haus" (German for Big House).</p><br>
<p>As part of keeping order and maintaining his place in the community, Keil utilized mortification functions, calling out deviants for their transgressions during public meetings.</p><br>
<h3>Smallpox outbreak</h3><br>
<p>In 1862, a member of the colony took care of an individual outside the colony who had smallpox and brought it back to the Aurora Colony. As a result, many in Aurora contracted the disease and many died. Four of Keils children died in the outbreak, including his daughter Aurora, the colonys namesake.</p><br>
<h2>Dissolution of the colony</h2><br>
<p>Keil had held all the communal property in his name. In 1872, after the death of his only remaining daughter, Keil began to transfer ownership of colony land to individual families in the community and intended to transfer more later. However, by the time he died suddenly on December 30, 1877, he had not made any additional transfers.</p><br>
<p>It was decided to dissolve the two colonies, and the dissolution was formally declared on January 22, 1883. The land was later incorporated and became the modern-day city of Aurora, Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>In 1966 the Old Aurora Colony Museum was established, dedicated to maintaining the history of the colony. In 1974, twenty sites in Aurora were added to the National Register of Historical Places.</p><br>
<h3>In media</h3><br>
<p>Author Jane Kirkpatrick wrote a trilogy of novels about the experience of Emma Wagner Giesy, the only female member of Keils scout party to find a location for a new colony in the Pacific Northwest that eventually became the Aurora Colony. The three novels in Kirkpatricks series are "A Clearing in the Wild" (2006), "A Tendering In the Storm" (2007), and "Mending at the Edge" (2008).</p><br>
<p>South Dakota Department of Transportation Bridge No. 63-016-150 is a historic bridge in rural western Turner County, South Dakota. Built in 1935, it is a well-preserved period stone-arch bridge, built with funding from a New Deal jobs program. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bridge No. 63-016-150 is located in rural western Turner County, carrying 283rd Street over an unnamed stream, between 441st and 442nd Avenues. It is a two-arch stone structure, with a total length of about 22 ft. Its two arches are segmental, with a span of 7 ft, and rise about 9 ft above the stream bed. The bridge has stone wing walls, and a cutwater on the south side of the central pier. The bridge is fashioned out of locally quarried quartzite fieldstone, most of which is roughly cut and randomly laid. The finished surfaces have been trimmed and squared.</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 Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). 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 1935 by a county crew to a standardized state design. It is one of only two bridges in the county built with FERA funding; others were built with later Works Progress Administration funds.</p><br>
<p>The Gold Dust Hotel, located at 402 N. Seventh St. in Fredonia, Kansas, was built in c.1884-85. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story brick Italianate-style building. It has also been known as Hotel Cunningham, as Farris Hotel, and as Gold Dust Hotel and Apartments.</p><br>
<p>When it was completed in 1885, the Wilson County Citizen asserted:The Gold Dust is without doubt as fine a hotel as can be found in Southern Kansas. It would be splendid hotel in a city of ten or twenty thousand inhabitants. It is not only a grand building externally but contains the most modern appointments and conveniences of first-class institutions of this kind and is furnished in all respects in a most elegant and comfortable manner. Its ventilation is perfect and not an important essential feature for a number one hotel has been omitted.</p><br>
<p>Le Mars Downtown Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Le Mars, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Le Mars is located in northwest Iowa, which is the last part of the state to be settled. Settlement came with the railroads. The Iowa Falls & Sioux City Railroad was built through the region in 1869 to 1870. In June 1870, the town was platted, and two years later it won an election to move the county seat from Melbourne. It grew to become a regional economic center from the late 19th century through the post-World War II period. The historic district covers most of the city&#39;s central business district. The buildings date from c. 1879 to 1958, with historic alterations through 1962. The vast majority of the buildings serve a commercial function, with their second-story housing meeting halls, professional offices, or residential units. Other functions include light industrial, recreational, social, healthcare, and government. They are all masonry construction of red or buff brick and are from one to three stories tall. The buildings reflect the styles from the time they were built.</p><br>
<p>The McCormick Harvesting Machine Company Building, also known as the International Harvester Transfer House is an historic building located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. The first railroad arrived in the city in 1867, and by 1898 there were 11 truck line railroads that terminated here. That made Council Bluffs an excellent place for the transfer and distribution of goods. Chicago based McCormick Harvesting Machine Company had this four-story brick structure built in 1894 as one of their branch houses. Those facilities acted as a dealership for the companys products. In the 1902 McCormick and four other companies merged to form International Harvester . By 1922, this building became one of IHs four domestic transfer house facilities. Those facilities received large stocks of the company&#39;s products by train and distributed them to the branch houses. IH continued to use this building until 1964. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Park/Glen Avenues Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The district is a stylish residential neighborhood that developed between 1857 and 1942 with most of the houses built between 1880 and 1930. It was home to the area&#39;s "prosperous, second generation merchants, railroad and real estate financiers, and professionals." Several houses have been attributed to architects, including Perley Hale from Chicago, and local architects J. Chris Jensen, and John C. and Winfield S. Woodward. The Lysander Tulleys House  and the Thomas E. Cavin House  are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A non-residential building in the district is the Glendale Reservoir Pumping Station .</p><br>
<p>The Charles M. Prather Barn, near Kingman, Kansas, was built in about 1938 by Charles M. Prather and local carpenters. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>It is 52x60.5 ft in plan. It was built during the Depression out of materials salvaged from railroad refrigerator cars and from other railroad structures. Its interior walls and exterior siding was flooring of railroad cars. Railroad bridge timbers support the loft floor. Metal siding is from roofs of railroad cars.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "an excellent example of vernacular design, planned and built by its original owner and local workers. The barn&#39;s materials are unique in their ingenuity, salvaged from railroad yards in Wichita and assembled in the present location to create a one-of-a-kind structure that remains in near-original condition."</p><br>
<p>The barn has a prominent hay hood.</p><br>
<p>The Harper Standpipe is a standpipe built during 1886–87 in Harper, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable "for its association with community planning and development and... for its engineering method of construction. It is a unique example of a late 19th century standpipe with a base constructed of local materials and a standpipe constructed of riveted iron plates. The fish wind direction indicator on top still moves, and the standpipe is in current use as a part of the city water system."</p><br>
<p>The Treadwell House is a historic house at 253 Spielman Highway in the center of Burlington, Connecticut. Built about 1810 for John Treadwell, then the Governor of Connecticut, it is a distinctive local example of Federal period architecture with Greek Revival overlay features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is now used for commercial purposes.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Treadwell House stands in the village center of Burlington, on the east side of its triangular green, between George Washington Turnpike and Spielman Highway (Connecticut Route 4). It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its primary facade faces south toward the turnpike, while a secondary facade faces west to the green, with the roof ridge oriented north–south. The south facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the right bay. The door and windows are framed by modest mouldings, and there is a half-round opening (presently filled with a louver, but originally with a window) in the gable above. The west facade is also three bays wide, with a more elaborate but false entrance at its center, framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and cornice. A modernized ell extends eastward from the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1810 for John Treadwell, a Farmington native who was then serving as Governor of Connecticut; however, there is no evidence he ever actually resided here, since his residence was always listed as Farmington. The house is remarkably little-altered, and some of its Greek Revival features are a notably early adoption of that style. The next two owners of the house were ministers at the local Congregational church. The building was purchased by the town in 1970, which used it for storage. Declared surplus in the late 1970s, it was rescued from demolition by local preservationists, and readapted for use as a bank.</p><br>
<p>The Colonials Club House, also known as the Beta Deuteron Charge House of Theta Delta Chi, is a historic building located in Ames, Iowa, United States. The building was significant in the development of the city&#39;s Fourth Ward. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Colonials Club House was built for a local fraternity, The Colonials or Colonial Club, which was established in 1908. Its address is 217 Ash Avenue in Ames, Iowa. Before its construction in 1910, off-campus student housing was clustered on the west side of the Iowa State College campus (now Iowa State University) in the West Gate neighborhood. This building opened up the southeast side of the campus, and it became the preferred location for new fraternity and sorority residences. Thus, the building was significant in the development of the city&#39;s Fourth Ward.</p><br>
<p>In December 1919, the Colonials became the Beta Deuteron charge (chapter) of Theta Delta Chi (ΘΔΧ) fraternity. Despite this, the house had the best location on campus and was in good condition.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, the Beta Deuteron charge formed the Theta Delta Chi Realty Company of Ames Iowa which purchased the Colonial Club House for $15,000 ($ in 2022 money). The new company issued $20,000 in secured bonds to fund the purchase and renovation of the former clubhouse. The Ames National Bank invested $8,000 in the bonds.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Colonials Club House started a new style in the future design of fraternity and sorority chapter houses at Iowa State. Earlier chapter houses in Ames were vernacular framed structures that were designed to look like single-family dwellings. Designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot & Bird, this two-and-a-half-story brick structure featured the Colonial Revival style, which became one of the prominent styles for fraternity and sorority houses associated with the university. It was also the first masonry chapter house at Iowa State.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s entrance features a large scale two-story entry porch with four columns and two pilasters that have stylized Ionic capitals, supporting a cornice and frieze. The frieze includes the Greek letters ΘΔΧ.</p><br>
<p>The first floor includes the living room, a back hall (library), a dining room, and a front hall. The front hall has oak paneling, built-in seating, oak flooring, and an oak staircase. Oak pocket doors lead to the living room which as an oak fireplace mantel and an oak coffered ceiling.</p><br>
<p>The building was renovated and expanded in 1920 to reconfigure the main level, expand the size of the living room, and add a sleeping porch. This expansion cost $5,000. A second addition in 1926 included a one-story accommodation for the fraternitys house mother. A third addition in 1966 was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Woodburn & ONeil.</p><br>
<p>The Thirty-Fifth Parallel Route is the remains of a wagon trail within Petrified Forest National Park. While there is a railroad and a modern highway contiguous with the site, they are not part of the Historic designation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first use of the route during historic times was by hunters, trappers, and American Indians. While American Indians most likely used the route back through pre-historic times, European settlers first began using it during the 1830s and 1840s, with the incursions made by traders and hunter/trappers. With its acquisition of what is today Arizona from Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the USA Armys Corps of Topographical Engineers began an official survey of the area, which was followed in 1851 by exploration of the area by Lorenzo Sitgreaves on his exploration tour between New Mexico and California. As part of a sequence of six surveys for a transcontinental railway, the route was surveyed in 1853-54 by Amiel Weeks Whipple, who completed the first complete, detailed examination of the route. From between August 1857 to January 1858, Edward Fitzgerald Beale was in charge of developing a wagon route, along the route laid out by Whipple 3 years earlier. In addition to being the event which established the wagon trail, Beales expedition was notable for its use of camels. This was so novel that the route became known as the "Beale Camel Trail".</p><br>
<p>By the 1880s the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad had constructed its western division for their intercontinental rail line, paralleling this wagon route. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway took over this stretch of track in the 1890s. Absorbed by the Santa Fe Railway, which today is part of the BNSF Railway, this section of rail is part of their main transcontinental line. With the arrival of automobiles in the early 20th century, the wagon trail evolved into what became USA Route 66, and eventually Interstate 40, although not on exactly the same exact route. Some original sections of the original wagon road remain intact within the Petrified Forest National Park. Neither the rail nor highway is part of the National Historic Site. There are no physical structures or buildings within the site.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The route travels along a path about one mile south of the Painted Desert rim.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan Bedford Forrest Boyhood Home is a historic log house in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, United States. It was the childhood home of Confederate General and Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest from 1830 to 1833. It is owned by the Sons of Confederate Veterans.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The log house was built by W.S. Mayfield in the 1820s. William Forrest acquired the house in 1830, when his son Nathan was nine years old.</p><br>
<p>The house, "the only home still existing associated with Forrest" in Tennessee, was acquired by the state government in the 1970s. Since 1997, it has belonged to the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). As of 2017, the "caretaker" of the house is Gene Andrews, a resident of Nashville, Tennessee, and a member of the SCV. The house may still be used for "Civil War re-enactments, music and lectures". It was the location of the music video for Josephine by Joey + Rory. However, the house is locked behind a "black metal gate".</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house is "highly representative" of Tennessee&#39;s vernacular architecture in the 1820s and 1830s. "While most houses in the more settled sections of the state in the 1820s were brick or frame, the farmer or craftsman of the rural areas was still likely to build with logs. Often when prosperity increased, rather than build a new and more imposing house, improvements and additions were made to the log structure."</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 13, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Dream Theater, located at 629 N. Main St. in Russell, Kansas, is an Art Deco-style theater which was built in 1948. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>It was built in c.1948-49 to replace the previous Dream Theater, which had been built as the "Main Street Theater" in 1929, remodeled, and renamed in 1934. The previous theater was destroyed by fire on April 19, 1947. The new theater was designed to be "a modern, futurist, up-to-date, fireproof theater that would rival theaters in large cities."</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Robert O. Boller and Dietz Lusk Jr. of Kansas City, Missouri, and is a late example of the Art Deco style.</p><br>
<p>The John P. Rains Hotel, located at 106-108 Tennessee Ave., S. in Parsons in Decatur County, Tennessee, was built in 1898. It has also been known as the Colwick Hotel. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It was built when the Tennessee Midland Railway Company built a line connecting Lexington with Perryville during 1888–89, and operated until about 1950, past the closing of rail service in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The building is the oldest commercial building in Parsons, because it is the sole survivor of a series of fires that destroyed all other nineteenth-century commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>Delta Upsilon Chapter House is a historic building located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is considered one of the more imposing architectural examples among fraternity chapter houses at Iowa State University.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Des Moines architect Alexander M. Linn, who joined Delta Upsilon at what was then called Iowa State College. The fraternity&#39;s chapter house was on Hyland Avenue at that time. Completed in 1930, the 2½-story, French Renaissance-style building features brick and half-timbering wall surfaces, and a complex roof system that includes steep pitches and polychrome slate.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Holton Bath House is a bathhouse in Holton in Jackson County, Kansas which was built in 1938 as a WPA project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes two contributing buildings: the bath house and a filter house. It includes the pool as a non-contributing structure because the original Depression-era pool was replaced in 1986. Bob Paulette and Murray Wilson were design engineers for the project.</p><br>
<p>The bath house is Rustic in style and is 132x20 ft in plan. It is built of steel and reinforced concrete on a concrete foundation.</p><br>
<p>The McFadden House is a Westchester Deluxe Plan model of Lustron house, which was built in 1949 at 315 W. 5th St. in Holton, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Emery Construction of Topeka, Kansas, built it. It is "Dove Gray" and 31x35 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "an excellent example of the Lustron House property type, and it is one of only one hundred Lustron houses extant in Kansas. Only a few Lustrons were built in eastern Kansas, and this is the only Lustron in Jackson County."</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt School, also known as Second Ward School, is a historic building located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is significant as an example of a Progressive Era school building that served as a neighborhood elementary school from its construction in 1924 until it was controversially closed in 2005. It was designed by the local architectural firm of Kimball, Bailie & Cowgill. It exemplifies the ideals of "ample sunlight, fresh air, and open space for the innovative subjects and learning conditions advocated by Progressive educators." The stripped-down version of the Beaux-Arts style of the two-story brick structure also embodied the progressive philosophy of constructing noble public buildings. During its years as a school, the building served as a catylist for the development of the neighborhood from the 1920s to the 1950s, and served as its community center, park, and playground.</p><br>
<p>The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Tunxis Forest Headquarters House is a historic house on North Hollow Road Connecticut Route 20) in Hartland, Connecticut. Built in 1936, it is one of the few surviving houses built in the state by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and now serves as part of the headquarters complex of Tunxis State Forest. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Tunxis Forest Headquarters House is located on the west side of North Hollow Road, about 0.3 mi north of its junction with Old Town Road. It is set among a cluster of other buildings that make up the forest headquarters. It is a -story timber-frame structure, measuring about 40 x, with a gabled roof. Its end walls are built out of fieldstone laid in random courses, with fireplaces and chimneys built into them. Its exterior is otherwise finished in wooden shingles. The interior, as originally built, was fitted with a living room and kitchen on the ground floor, and three small bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1936 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and was constructed to serve as the principal administration building of the CCC camp. After the CCC program ended, the house was used by the local forester as a residence until 1948. It continued to be used as a residence until 1974, and after a period of vacancy was adapted by the state for use in an educational program for troubled youth.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Tunxis Forest Ski Cabin is located in the eastern unit of Tunxis State Forest, a short hike off the western end of Balance Rock Road. It is a single-story log structure, with a gabled roof and massive fieldstone chimney. Its logs are laid with dovetailed corners, each level slightly smaller than that below it. The front facade is three bays wide, with an entrance flanked by paired square windows. The side walls each have two square windows set in individual openings. The roof is built with an extended overhang, its trusses exposed both outside and inside.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was built as the base lodge of a ski area that the CCC crews of nearby Camp Robinson built in 1937. As part of this work the CCC also built Balance Rock Road, where culverts and retaining walls also still survive. The CCC also built a ski area in Mohawk State Forest, of which nothing survives. This cabin is the only substantial surviving element of the Tunxis ski area, which has become reforested. It is believed to be one of the oldest surviving artifacts related to downhill skiing in the state.</p><br>
