The main entrances are in the wings immediately adjacent, recessed under segmented arches. The wings each extend to pavilions with no windows on the front facade.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1922, a time when the city was experiencing a significant population boom. The building was designed by Delbert K. Perry, a prominent local architect, its design following the then-current standards for schools, including generous natural light for classrooms, and it was laid out to take advantage of the "platoon system" of class organization, in which classrooms are dedicated to specific subjects, and students move around between them. The school&#39;s elaborate exterior was criticized, leading to local legislation limiting such ornamentation on future school buildings.</p><br>

He became Secretary of the Navy in 1861, overseeing its growth during the Civil War and its role in the largely successful blockade of Confederate ports. The house remained in the Welles family until 1932. Threatened with demolition in 1935, a committee was formed to preserve it, which later became the Glastonbury Historical Society. The house was moved a short distance from its original location to its present one in 1936. Now owned by the town, it has been adaptively repurposed to house commercial businesses.</p><br>

<p>The West End Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential area west of downtown New Britain, Connecticut. Forming a rough C shape around the west part of Walnut Hill Park, the area was developed in the late 19th century as one of its premier upper-class neighborhoods, home to business and civic leaders, with a fine array of late 19th and early 20th century architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>New Britain experienced an economic boom in the years after the American Civil War, driven by innovation and manufacturing of building hardware and similar goods. Walnut Hill Park was laid out in 1870, and the city received landscape design guidance from Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux on the layout of the park and the surrounding areas to the northwest, west, and south. Much of this land was owned by Henry Russell, chairman of the park commission, who platted out streets roughly parallel to the park boundaries and sold off lots for residential development between 1884 and 1908. This resulted in the present layout of roads running northeast-to-southwest (Lincoln, Forest, and Vine Streets) and east-west (Hart Street) that form the core of the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The houses that were built in this area are predominantly in the restrained styles of the early 20th century, including the Colonial Revival, American Foursquare, and Tudor Revival. They are typically set on handsome lots with generous setbacks, on tree-lined streets. The local architectural firm of Davis and Brooks designed a significant number of these houses, including a fine Shingle style house on Vine Street that eventually became the home of architect William Brooks. Many homes were built for executives of the Stanley Works, New Britain&#39;s leading hardware manufacturer.</p><br>

<p>The Smith-Culhane House is a private house located at 8569 Lake Street in Port Austin, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Richard Smith was born in Roxburghshire, Scotland 1840 and immigrated to Peterborough, Ontario in 1857. He moved to Auburn, New York three years later, and then to Port Austin in 1865. Smith purchased a 120-acre parcel of land, and was elected Huron County Surveyor in 1866 and county register of deeds and clerk in 1868. In 1870 he purchased the plot of land on which this house sits, and likely built the house in about 1871. In 1873, the Huron County seat moved to Bad Axe, and Smith, still serving as register and clerk, moved with it. When his last term ended in 1877, he moved back to Port Austin. In 1883, he returned to Bad Axe, and sold this house to Cornelius Culhane in 1885.</p><br>
<p>Cornelius Culhane was born in Ireland in 1842, and moved to the United States as a young man. By 1871 he had moved to Port Austin, married Ellen Kennedy, and purchased farmland, but was soon working as a logger, running a logging outfit that contracted to sawmills to cut over timber lands. By the mid-1880s, Culhane was logging near Higgins Lake with a crew of one hundred men, and by the 1890s he was working in the Upper Peninsula. He was killed in 1903 in a logging accident. The Culhanes apparently used this house as their home when they were not working a logging camp. Ellen Kennedy Culhane continued to live in the house until her death in 1923, after which their son William owned it until his death in 1930. The house remained in the</p><br>
<p>possession of the Culhane family until 1938.</p><br>
<p>In 1985, Jack and Carolyn Greenwood purchased the house and opened it as a bed and breakfast. They closed their doors in 2021, and it is now a private residence owned by the Logans.</p><br>

<p>The South Dakota Department of Transportation Bridge No. 63-160-056 was a historic truss bridge in rural Turner County, South Dakota, carrying 476th Avenue across the East Fork Vermillion River northeast of Parker. Built in 1905, it was one two surviving bridges built in the county by the J.A. Crane Company of Centerville, South Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The South Dakota Department of Transportation Bridge No. 63-160-045 was located in northeastern Turner County, about 3 mi east of Parker and 1.4 mi north. It was a single-span Pratt through truss structure, carrying 476th Avenue across the East Branch of the Vermilion River. The trusses rested on rubblestone abutments, with concrete tops that had shorted right-angled wings. The trusses spanned 105 ft, and consisted of steel members assembled with pin connections. Rolled I-beams riveted to the trusses by means of hanger plates provide support for stringers and bridge decking.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1905 by the J.A. Crane Company of Centerville, South Dakota. It was one of only two bridges known to be built by that company, both of which were located in Turner County. Crane bid on and built bridges in both Turner and Clay Counties, but is otherwise poorly documented. Locally manufactured metal truss bridges were relatively rare at the time, because bridge construction was dominated by out-of-state firms. Sometime between 2004 and 2007 the bridge, which was in deteriorating condition, was replaced by a modern steel girder bridge.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>James B. Williams, a native of Lebanon, Connecticut, came to Manchester in 1834, where he began experimenting with soap formulations while working at a general store. In 1840 he established a small shop for soap production there, which met with success. In 1849 he moved to Glastonbury, where he acquired the site of a former gristmill owned by his first father-in-law, Jerusha Hubbard. The industrial complex on the south side of Williams Street is where this business developed, eventually growing to include buildings on the north side of the street. The business peaked in the 1920s, employing about 300 workers, and was Glastonbury&#39;s largest single employer. It was sold out of the family in 1957, with the facilities used by their successors until 1977. The surviving factory buildings (which include four brick buildings and a rare wood-frame building from the mid-19th century), have been converted into residences.</p><br>
<p>In 1859 J.B. Williams built an elaborate brick Italianate mansion on Willieb Street, set on a hill overlooking the factory. His son David built a Queen Anne/Shingle style house in 1892 on Williams Street, and another son, Samuel, built a fine Georgian mansion on Hubbard Street. The oldest building in the district is a much-altered c. 1740 house known informally as "Grandfather&#39;s House", as it was where Jerusha Hubbard lived at the time of the Williams purchase.</p><br>
