<p>The C.C. Clement House is a historic building located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, United States. Completed in 1882, the design of the 2½-story frame house was attributed to Fargo architect Charles N. Daniels. The picturesque Stick style dwelling features a steep gabled roof with jerkin head and eave bracing. Also indicative of the style is the articulation of the wall surfaces by panel divisions with vertical and diagonal forms that suggest the structural frame underneath. Stick decorative elements are found in the pierced eave boards, the porch frieze with a saw-tooth edge and cut-out panels, turned posts and the floral design panels on the tower. The house was built by C.C. Clement who managed the interests of George B. Wright, one of the original developers of Fergus Falls. It remained in the Clement family until 1948 when it was sold to Wendell Hubers. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is currently a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The C.J. Wright House is a historic building located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, United States. Minneapolis architect Leroy S. Buffington supplied the designs for this 2½-story wood frame residence. Isaac H. Hobbs & Son, architect firm from Philadelphia created the house drawings. Local carpenter J.O. Crummett built it from 1881 to 1882. Construction began under the direction of George B. Wright and completed by his nephew C.J. Wright. The Wrights were Vermont natives who surveyed and were involved in developing the new town of Fergus Falls. The Queen Anne style structure follows an irregular plan. It is also a Stick style variant of the Gothic Revival style. The Gothic Revival is found in the scissor-trusses with an eight-pointed star medallion on each of the gables and the scroll-sawn spandrels of the wrap-around front porch. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The house has seen 6 generations of continuous family ownership.</p><br>
<p>The house is situated in a wooded tract and is not visible from the street; many neighborhood residents are unaware of its existence. Small arches were cut out of 3 of the original doors for cat passage. The main floor of the house, including the ornate parlor with its walnut mantle and parquet floor, was rented out for most of the late 20th century with the daughter of C.J. Wright occupying the second floor. The beautifully carved fireplace once resided at the George B. Wright home in Minneapolis and was a gift to this house at the time of the demolition of the Minneapolis home. It is fitting as George B. Wright drew his last breath in this house when it was in its final days of completion. The quiet of the country hilltop, after the finishing carpenters and maids were sent away, was just what was needed for the dying man. George had planned out everything including the driveway and even planted the many trees. The lady of this new home, Myra Wright, wife of C.J. stated, George was the "finest man I have ever known."</p><br>

<p>William R. Stafford was born in 1828 on a farm in Bath, New Hampshire. He apprenticed as a cabinet maker, and moved to Lexington, Michigan in 1849, gaining employment with Woods and Sanburn, general merchants. In 1853, he went into business for himself. He soon invested in the local lumber resources, and moved to what is now Port Hope in 1857, one of the first pioneers in the area. He bought or took out lumber claims on a great deal of the surrounding timberland. In 1858, a lumber mill was built and men moved into the area to work in the mill.</p><br>
<p>As the lumber business boomed, the town of Port Hope began to grow around the mill. Stafford also operated one of the largest and most complete salt blocks in the state, making his fortune shipping both salt and lumber. In 1866, Stafford began to construct this house in Port Hope. The house took two years to complete, and the Staffords moved in on Christmas Eve, 1868. The house stayed in the family, passing on 1936 to Mr. & Mrs. Reginald Smith; Mrs. Smith was the granddaughter of William Stafford.</p><br>

<p>The M. Swift and Sons Company is a historic industrial complex at 10 and 60 Love Lane in Hartford, Connecticut. Established around 1887, it was the home of one of the nation&#39;s most successful manufacturers of gold leaf by the process of goldbeating. The complex, including both industrial and residential components, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former M. Swift and Sons Company plant is located in Hartfords residential North End neighborhood, on a roughly triangular parcel bounded by Love Lane on the west, Garden Street on the east, and Westland Street to the south. The largest structure is the main factory building, a two-story agglomeration of brick and stone structures that are the result of multiple building expansions by the Swift Company. The property also includes two houses, built c. 1887 and 1914, that are historically associated with the factorys owners.</p><br>
<p>The company was founded in 1887, when Matthew Swift left Hartfords largest goldbeating company, the J.M. Ney Company, to begin his own business on this parcel, which he had purchased for his residence in 1871. Originally working out of a small wood-frame building south of his house, Swifts company grew rapidly, with repeated expansions of infrastructure by the early 19th century. In 1902, the Swift Company was the largest goldbeating company in the state. In the first half of the 20th century it continued to grow, shipping gold leaf to international markets, and innovating in the processes of its manufacture. The company&#39;s business eventually succumbed to changing tastes, and it was shuttered in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Charles G. Learned House was built as a private house located at 8544 Lake Street in Port Austin, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles G. Learned was born in 1816 in West Troy, New York. His father was a successful public works contractor, and in 1835 Charles won a contract under his father&#39;s name to build one mile of aqueduct for the City of New York. He married Maria Raymond in 1838 and continued to work on major public works contracts in New York and the surrounding states. Learned also established himself in both farming and lumbering in West Troy. During this time, he and his family met their lifelong family friend, future president James A. Garfield. Garfield was then a student, and made his home with the family between college terms.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1850s, Learned became interested in the Michigan frontier, particularly in lumbering. In 1859, he consolidated, sold, or leased all of his business holdings in New York State, began new business ventures in Michigan, and moved to Port Austin with his family. Once in Port Austin, Learned acquired this property, which already had a dwelling located on it. The origin and ownership of the dwelling are unknown, but it was likely built some time between 1837 and Learned&#39;s arrival in 1859. Learned constructed an addition, doubling the area of the house. Learned quickly became involved in extensive business interests in the area, trading in general merchandise, sinking a salt well, and opening saw mill, a shingle mill and barrel factory, and a flour mill. In about 1866, the couple constructed a large addition onto the house. At about this time, Garfield, then in the US Senate, visited the Learneds,</p><br>
<p>In 1870, Jonas Learned, Charles and Marias only son, moved into the Port Austin house. He had been involved in lumber manufacturing and a successful mercantile enterprise in Port Crescent for some time, but opted to join the thriving community of Port Austin. Meanwhile, Charles Learned shifted his interest to agricultural products, and in 1871 Charles and Jonas collaborated to add, over a series of years, a number of Second Empire architectural details to what had to that time been an Italianate house. In 1874, Jonas sold his other businesses and joined his fathers agricultural firm.</p><br>
<p>Maria Learned died in 1881, and Charles followed in 1891. Jonas Learned and his family continued to live in the house until 1931, when it was sold to a local manufacturer, a Mr. Mayes. Mayes renamed the home the Mayes Inn, and operated it as a tourist home, bar, and restaurant. In 1946 it was purchased by a Mr. Neinaltowski, who changed the name to the Tower Hotel. In 1979, Edward and Diana Hilgendorf bought the Tower Hotel, but in 1982, they sold to Gail and Gary Regnier, who began an extensive restoration of the home.</p><br>
<p>Glen Roth and Stephen Erickson purchased the historic house in 2016. Major updates and mechanical improvements were completed. A restaurant was operated from 2016-2019 and a high-end Bed and Breakfast was in operations until December 2021. The house was sold in 2021 during the Covid pandemic.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 1880s saw a boom in the development of mineral springs resorts as summer destinations, inspired by the success of Saratoga Springs, New York. Early in this decade, New York businessman James F. O. Shaughnessy purchased the Red Boiling Springs tract and began development of the area as a resort.</p><br>
<p>Counts Hotel was built on a bank overlooking the creek in 1924. The Red Boiling Springs resort was at its peak, with six hotels each having about 50 or 60 rooms, and all including three Southern-style meals each day with the price of the room. There were also at least nine boarding houses. The hotel was first called Smith&#39;s Brick Hotel, being the first brick hotel in the area. It gained the Counts Hotel name when it was purchase by Henry Counts in the 1940s. Counts installed modern luxuries: plumbing, electricity, and ensuite bathrooms for each room.</p><br>
<p>Of the original five types of mineral water available at the resort, three types were available on the Counts Hotel property: "white," "red" and "black." One of the two doctors in the town would prescribe the appropriate water and dosage to each guest. The "white" water was recommended to aid digestion. The sulfurous "red" water was said to be helpful for the bladder and for Bright&#39;s disease. The sulfur and magnesium "black" water was claimed to treat the stomach and liver.</p><br>
<p>It remained open in 1952, when only Cloyd Hotel and Counts Hotel were still operating, and has been open almost continuously. Today, it is the only hotel which still offers the traditional mineral water baths.</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 Upper Albany Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential area of the North End of Hartford, Connecticut. It extends along Albany Avenue  between Garden and Woodland Streets, including side streets to the south, and extends northward to include the southern portion of Keney Park. This area was developed in the first two decades of the 20th century, and has a fine array of period middle-class housing in the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Albany Avenue was laid out in the early 19th century as a turnpike connecting Hartford to Albany, New York. The stretch in the northern part of the city was initially farmland, and it was where a number of wealthy Hartford businessmen, notably James Goodwin and James Goodwin Batterson, built large country estates in the second half of the 19th century. In the 1890s Hartfords streetcar system was extended along Albany Avenue, opening the area to more intensive development. Streets were platted on either side of the road, with many of the house lots sold to individuals who hired builders to put up houses. The houses were of a size and scale designed to appeal to the citys rapidly growing middle class, and had higher quality features than typical worker tenement housing of the period. Keney Park, at the northern end of the district, was established in 1898 by a bequest from businessman Henry Keney, and was one of the attractions whose easy access was promoted by developers.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses 663 buildings in the district are houses set on relatively narrow lots, and share a significant number of common architectural elements. They are typically of wood frame constructions and 2 to 2-1/2 stories in height. Their exteriors are clad in a combination of wooden clapboards and shingles, the latter sometimes decoratively cut in the Queen Anne style. Porches are another common feature, often with Tuscan columns, as are leaded stained-glass windows and Palladian windows. Commercial development is generally limited to Albany Avenue itself, in some cases as alterations to period houses, and period buildings housing more than two units (triple decker tenements and apartment blocks) are mainly limited to Lenox Street.</p><br>

<p>The Webster Memorial Building is a historic house at 36 Trumbull Street in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1870 and extensively restyled in 1924, it is a rare example of Georgian Revival architecture in the downtown area, noted for its historical association with the Family Services Society, a prominent local charity. The building, now in other commercial use, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Webster Memorial Building is situated at the northeast corner of Trumbull and Jewell Streets on the west side of Hartfords downtown area, facing one of the main entrances to Bushnell Park. It is a three-story brick structure with a flat roof and a decorative wooden carved cornice. The main facade spans five bays, with most windows set in rectangular openings featuring brownstone sills and lintels. The main entrance is recessed within the central bay and is framed by a projecting portico supported by paired Corinthian columns. These columns uphold a frieze bearing the buildings name, above which rests a cornice and a step adorned with a pair of urns. The bay above the entrance showcases a window flanked by pilasters and crowned by a broken segmented-arch pediment.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally constructed in 1870 as a private three-unit apartment house, designed in the then-popular Italianate style, featuring a bracketed cornice. In 1925, it was acquired by the Charity Organization Society, a philanthropic organization established in 1890. The purchase was made possible by a bequest from John Webster, a local insurance executive. The society decided to remodel the building for its own use and enlisted the Boston firm of Allen & Collens, renowned for their work on the Hartford Theological Seminary, to oversee the project. It is to Allen & Collens that the building owes its present exterior appearance. Renamed the Family Services Society, the organization has been at the forefront of social service endeavors in collaboration with other local charities since its inception.</p><br>

<p>The Owen County Courthouse and Jail in Owenton, Kentucky was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The complex of two buildings also contributes to the National Register-listed Central Owenton Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse, whose main part was built in 1857–58, is described in its NRHP nomination as: "one of the finest of smaller Kentucky Greek Revival temple-form courthouses. The architect is unknown, and the style did form a kind of vernacular that might have allowed a builder to erect even so satisfying a design. The handsome cupola is rather more substantial than many, and the treatment of the panelled sides is simpler but perhaps more effective." One-story wings were added in 1868.</p><br>
<p>The jail is a nearly cubic-shaped two-story building which faces east towards the courthouse from across N. Madison St. It is a "surprisingly charming jail", builtd during 1874 to 1876 to a design by architect H.P. McDonald. It is the first known design by McDonald and is Italianate in style; Italianate features include decorative brackets under its low hipped roof and arched tops of second-story window openings. It was relatively "humane" in its design when built.</p><br>
<p>In 1974 both courthouse and jail still served the county in their original purposes.</p><br>
<p>The W.R Stafford Saw Mill Site, containing the remnants of a mid-1800s saw mill, is located at 4451 Huron Street  in Port Hope, Michigan. The only remaining visible structure standing is the chimney of the mill , and the site is now used as part of the Stafford County Park. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first saw mill constructed at this site was built in 1858 for lumberman William R. Stafford. The mill had a stone chimney built by mason John Geitz. The original 1858 mill, along with the associated docks and the houses of hundreds of workers, was destroyed by fire in 1871. The mill was rebuilt in 1872, but destroyed by fire a second time in 1881. The mill was rebuilt again, and remained in use until probably the early 1890s. The 1858 chimney was used by all three mills.</p><br>
<p>The mill and associated buildings sat unused for decades. The dock into the lake was destroyed in a 1913 storm, and the last building was removed in 1941 by a local farmer, who converted it into a farm shed. Commonwealth Associates, Inc. of Jackson, Michigan performed a limited archaeological investigation of a part of the site in 1978 in connection with proposed improvements of the Stafford County Park, but a more complete study of the site has not been done.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The saw mill site is now part of a county park and includes parking, lawn, and beach areas. The site covers the area of the former 1858 saw mill, accompanying grounds, and the covered over or submerged remnants of the Stafford dock that once extended 1,000 feet into the lake. The dock was made of timber cribs filled with stone.</p><br>
<p>The last visible remnant of the mill is the 1858 chimney. The chimney stands just above the beach, and measures nine by ten feet along the ground, rising approximately 80 feet. The lower section of twenty feet is constructed of sandstone, and contains an open hearth on one side. The upper section of about 60 feet is constructed of red brick, and gradually tapers toward the top.</p><br>
<p>The West Boulevard Historic District encompasses a historic residential development on West Boulevard and Rodney Street in the West End of Hartford, Connecticut. The area was developed beginning in 1909, and most of its homes were built by a single construction firm, creating a neighborhood appearance unified by style, scale, and setting, using the principles of the then-fashionable City Beautiful movement. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area where West Boulevard is located in Hartfords southwest was in the late 19th century the country estate of Horace Fox, the owner of a local lumber company. It was one of the West Ends last areas of open space. Fox began considering plans for development of the land as early as 1896, when period maps show proposed routes for West Boulevard. In line with the ideas of the City Beautiful movement, Fox envisioned a broad parkway extending from Prospect Avenue in the west to Forest Street in the east. Of this vision, only the western portion was actually implemented. West Boulevard was laid out from Prospect to South Whitney Street as a four-lane boulevard with a broad central median, with shade trees planted in the median and on the flanking sides. Fox sold off house lots in the 1910s and 1920s, mainly to developers, who then built houses and sold them to generally upwardly mobile residents.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompasses those blocks of West Boulevard, as well as about 1/2 block north of West Boulevard on Rodney Street, which was also built out at the same time. The houses are generally unified by their scale and setback from the road, and by their wood frame construction. Stylistically they are also quite similar, with most built in the then-fashionable Colonial Revival style. Most of them were built by the development firm of Freeburg, Erickson, and Felth, and have no architect credited in city records. Andrew Freeburg, one of the principals in the firm, lived and had his principal place of business at West Boulevard and South Whitney Street.</p><br>
<p>The Adair County Courthouse in Columbia, Kentucky, a courthouse at 500 Public Sq., was built in 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by McDonald Brothers. It was built by William Henry Hudson, "who was so proud of</p><br>
<p>his work that he had his portrait carved in a capital on the porch."</p><br>
<p>It has a four-sided clock tower. It was deemed " one of the best preserved of major late 19th-century Kentucky courthouses."</p><br>
<p>The Wethersfield Avenue Car Barn, also known locally just as the Trolley Barn, is a historic trolley barn at 331 Wethersfield Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1902, it is the only surviving building used exclusively for the area&#39;s extensive electrified street car network in the first half of the 20th century. Now converted to other uses, it was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wethersfield Avenue Car Barn is located in Hartfords southern Barry Square neighborhood, occupying most of a city blocks frontage on the west side of Wethersfield Avenue, between Elliot and Benton Streets. It is a multi-section brick structure, ranging in height from two to four stories. A tall central section is flanked by four-story towers, with two-story flanking wings that have projecting pavilions at the ends. The styling is a fairly typical early 20th-century commercial Italianate, with multi-story round-arch windows, brick corbelling, and terra cotta panels.</p><br>
<p>Trolley service began in Hartford in 1862, and this location is where the Hartford and Wethersfield Horse Railway, operators of the service, had its main facility. Originally horsecar service, the company began electrifying its routes in 1888, and changed its name to the Hartford Street Railway Company in 1893, reflecting a move away from horse-drawn services. This facility was built to replace the previous one, because of the reduced demand for horse care and increased demand for trolley maintenance and storage. As the company expanded, it also established maintenance facilities on Vernon and State Streets; only one of these survives in much-altered form as a bus facility. This facility survived until 1941, when trolley service was discontinued in favor of buses, and was sold. It was converted into a sporting arena, used primarily for boxing events. It has since been repurposed for other uses, including housing social service agencies.</p><br>

<p>The W. R. Stafford Planing Mill Site was the site of a mill, located on Huron Street in Port Hope, Michigan. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the disastrous forest fire of 1881, a planing mill building was constructed at this site. Planing mill opened in about 1882. The mill building contained a planing mill on the first floor and sash and door factory run by Duncan McKenzie and George Drury on the second floor. The planing mill and associated factory were major employers in the area at the end of the 19th century, as the lumbering trade wound down. The operation closed in the mid-1890s. In 1905, the building was leased to Gustave Marquardt and to use a pea mill, where peas were cleaned and sacked. In 1912, disease destroyed the local pea crop, and the business shut down. The mill building was eventually torn down, and as of 1987, only the chimney was left. As of 2017, the chimney was also gone.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The planing mill site sits in the woods near the shore of Lake Huron. It contains the foundations of the old mill, measuring about 80 feet by 36 feet. The site also contained at one time a 50-foot high chimney, measuring six feet six inches by six feet at the base. The chimney was constructed of red brick and tapered upward.</p><br>
<p>The W. R. Stafford Flour Mill and Elevator was a mill located at 4310 Huron Street in Port Hope, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original portion of this mill, a small grist mill, was constructed in the 1870s or possibly slightly before. Two major additions were constructed in 1882 and 1886, reflecting the switch in the local economy from lumbering to agriculture The original section of the mill was used for grinding small grist, buckwheat and feed, while the 1882 addition was used to mill flour. The 1886 additional included a grain elevator. The mill operated under the name StafforRoller Mills and Elevator until owner W.R. Staffords death in 1916. Afterwards, Staffords son and son-in-law operated it as the Stafford Milling Company. Flour milling halted around the time f World War I. By the 1980s, the mill did custom grinding of feed. and served as storage for grains and feed. The mill was demolished in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The mill complex was an L-shaped, gable-roof, timber-frame structure, with a number of shed-roof extensions. There were three sections: A low structure at the north end of the complex (likely the original grist mill), a higher middle section from 1882, and a large 1886 elevator building. The two older parts were originally covered with vertical board and batten, the 1886 section with a veneer of dark red brick. Later, early 20th-century steel sheeting was applied to most of the exterior. The interior of the mill was open, exposing large 11 x 10 and 12 x 12-inch timbers.</p><br>
