<p>The Anders Hintze House, located at 4249 S. 2300 East in Holladay, Utah, was built in c.1863-64. It is a "Type IIA" pair-house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah", and it is one of few houses in the Salt Lake valley surviving from the 1860s. It is a one-story adobe house with a stucco exterior that was applied in the 1940s, when an original scroll-bracketed porch was removed.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Anders Hintze, who was born in 1821 in Herslev, Roskilde Parish, Denmark, who converted to the LDS church in the 1850s and came to Utah early in the 1860s. The house was home for one of his three wives, Karen Sophie Swenson; the other wives lived in smaller houses on the family property.</p><br>
<p>A plan of the house and a photograph were exhibited at the Danish Immigrant Museum in 2001. The museum termed it a "three-part house", reflecting it having a central room with side rooms. In this example, the side rooms are two deep.</p><br>

<p>The Thuesen-Petersen House, located at 260 W. Center St. in Scipio, Utah, is a historic pair-house which was built in c.1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah" in its historic site inventory form, which describes it:This house is an example of the TYPE IV pair house, a type distinguished by the presence of an indented porch on the facade. The house is built of a locally fired, yellow brick with the walls laid in a common bond fashion. Originally the house was only a single story and had straight gable roof and stove chimneys paired internally on the ridge. The distinctive second story which stands today was added in 1887. Expanding the house here simply meant adding a second story gabled room to each of the existing three bays. The house mixes Greek Revival and Victorian stylistic impulses.</p><br>
<p>It was built by John Thuesen, who was born near Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1843. He and his family joined the LDS church in 1856, and he immigrated to Utah in 1866.</p><br>
<p>The house is also associated with Jens Petersen, who was born in Ramsin, Hvidbjerg, Denmark in 1860, and who immigrated to Utah in 1875 with his father Niels and brother Andreas. They were unusual because they were not LDS church members, but apparently were attracted to Utah based on reports from Danish Mormons who had come to Utah earlier. Jens bought this house in 1879, the three lived there, then in 1887 Jens added the second story and also built a store on the property. The store was detached and moved to Main Street in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Boulevard Historic District is a primarily residential historic district located in Pontiac, Michigan along Franklin Boulevard between West Huron Street and Orchard Lake Avenue.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Pontiac was founded in 1818, with the earliest development occurring downtown.The Sibley-Hoyt House, at 146 W. Lawrence St., part of the original downtown plat, started as a company farm and frame cabin in 1819 or 1820. It is the oldest structure in the district and a cornerstone of city, county, and state historical growth and development (Sibley-Hoyt House Wikipedia). Residential development soon spread west, first to Lawrence and Williams Streets in 1835, when George M Williams platted lots in the area. In 1886, Henry Clay Ward platted Franklin Boulevard (named after his son) and Mary Day and Henry Clay Avenues (named after his wife and himself). Lots in this area were sold and developed at different times, leading to a mix of architectural styles through the district.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The heart of the district, along Franklin Boulevard, contains relatively large lots with large, detached, single-family houses of two-and-a-half to three stories. There is a mix of architectural styles and materials, but the streetscape is unified by a consistent 60 foot setback from the street. The houses on the adjacent Mary Day and Henry Clay Avenues are smaller in scale and on smaller lots, but are also unified by their consistent setback and similar massing.</p><br>
<p>The eastern portion of district was developed earlier, and the houses are generally older. The houses along West Huron Street and Williams Street are placed on very large lots, with substantial open space between them. The structures on West Lawrence Street are generally smaller, from one and one-half to two and one-half stories high, and on smaller lots.</p><br>
<p>Significant structures in the district include:</p><br>

<p>The Benham Historic District is a historic district encompassing ten buildings and a public park in Benham, Kentucky. The buildings form the historic center of the coal town of Benham. Benham was founded by Wisconsin Steel, a subsidiary of International Harvester, in 1912; its major buildings were built between 1919 and 1928, replacing the original buildings as the town grew. Mining operations declined during the Great Depression, and as a result the district represents the main period of development in the town. The buildings in the district include Benham&#39;s city hall, post office, grade school, Methodist church, jail, theatre, hospital, firehouse, company store, and meat market.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 21, 1983. The company store is now home to the Kentucky Coal Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Harlan Commercial District is a primarily commercial historic district in downtown Harlan, Kentucky, in the United States. The district is centered on the Harlan County Courthouse and includes 41 buildings which contribute to its historic character. While Harlan was founded much earlier as a rural town, it grew considerably when the Louisville & Nashville Railroad built a line through the city in 1911; all of the contributing buildings within the district were built between 1910 and 1936. Nearly all of the buildings feature commercial-style architecture; the exceptions are the Classical Revival courthouse and post office and one Moderne commercial building. Downtown Harlan served as the social, civic, and economic center of the Harlan County mining community, particularly during the mining boom of the 1920s, and the courthouse became the site of several murder trials and legal battles during the Harlan County War.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1986.</p><br>

Politically the structure is important for it housed Vessey when he was elected governor in 1908."</p><br>
<p>The Lamy Building, also known as St. Michaels Dormitory, is a historic building in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was built in 1878 as the main building of St. Michaels College, the predecessor of St. Michael&#39;s High School and the College of Santa Fe. The building is a contributing property in the Barrio De Analco Historic District and currently serves as the headquarters of the New Mexico Tourism Department.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Michaels College was established at the behest of Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy, who had arrived in New Mexico in 1851 to find that formal schooling in the territory was nonexistent. After establishing the Loretto Academy for girls in 1852, Lamy recruited the De La Salle Christian Brothers to open a similar school for boys, and St. Michaels held its first classes in the fall of 1859. In the 1870s, the school appointed a new leader, Brother Botulph, who oversaw its growth into an institution of higher learning. Under Botulph, St. Michaels began offering high school diplomas, and later, teaching certificates. In 1874 it received a charter from the territorial legislature, making it the oldest chartered college in New Mexico. The college eventually phased out its post-secondary courses but continued to operate as St. Michaels High School, while a new St. Michael&#39;s College was established at a separate campus in 1947.</p><br>
<p>In 1877, Brother Botulph started a fundraising campaign to construct a new building for the school which netted sheep, goats, and cattle in addition to cash and building materials. Ground was broken on the building in April 1878 and it was ready for classes by November. In 1926, the wooden upper story was destroyed by a fire, reducing the building to its present two-story height. After this, it remained in use as a dormitory but was vacated when St. Michael&#39;s moved to a new campus in 1966. The building was sold to the state of New Mexico and renamed in honor of Archbishop Lamy; it now houses the New Mexico Tourism Department. It was remodeled in the Territorial Revival style in the 1950s, adding brick coping and a bellcote to the parapet.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In its present form, the building is a nearly symmetrical two-story adobe structure, 160 ft in length by 30 ft in width with a two-story Territorial Style portal or veranda wrapping around the north and east sides. The original wooden third floor had a mansard roof with evenly spaced dormer windows, a gambrel-roofed cross-gable above the main entrance, and a tall tower. After the fire in 1926, the building was truncated at the second floor with a flat roof. The present brick coping and bellcote were added during a 1950s remodeling.</p><br>
<p>Central School is a former school building located at 101 East Pike Street in Pontiac, Michigan. It is the oldest remaining school building in Pontiac. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Pontiac&#39;s Union School was built on this site in 1853. The Union School was demolished in 1893, and this building was constructed in its place. The building was constructed for $12,000 by H. Heitsch, a local builder/contractor. It was designed to accommodate 320 students in eight classrooms, four per floor, for students in grades 1–8. An addition was constructed in 1917, designed to be compatible with the original building. A second, more contemporary addition was constructed in 1957.</p><br>
<p>By the 1980s, the school housed the adult education and job placement program of the Pontiac School District. By the 2000s it was vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Central School is a two-and-one-half story Richardsonian Romanesque brick structure situated on a small hill near Pontiac&#39;s central business district. The building is topped with a steeply-pitched hip roof with projecting side gables and hipped dormers. The main facade is dominated by a four-story, pyramid-roofed central projecting tower. The main entrance is located in the base of the tower. Secondary entrances are at the sides underneath the dormers. The 1917 addition continues the materials, scale and detailing of the original structure.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur and Ellen Colgan House, at 407 Third Street in Edgemont, South Dakota, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>

<p>The Old Stone Church is a historic sandstone church located in Kingwood Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. It was built in 1837 and is now owned by the First Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Hunterdon County. The church, described using its historic name, Old Stone Presbyterian Church in Kingwood, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 2018 for its significance in architecture. The earlier church located here was a smaller stone building built in 1755, called the Old Stone Meetinghouse. The stones from this church were probably used to build the current one.</p><br>
<p>The Kingwood congregation was established in 1728 and grew during the First Great Awakening, with Gilbert Tennent and George Whitefield preaching here in 1739.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Summit School, located next to the church, is a one-room schoolhouse that was established in 1849 and used until 1953. The building is not part of this NRHP listing.</p><br>
<h2>Oak Summit Cemetery</h2><br>

<p>The Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is a historic Catholic shrine in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is the oldest church in the United States dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe and is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties.</p><br>
<p>The church is a simple cruciform building with thick adobe walls and has been remodeled several times, most recently in the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built sometime between the late 1700s and early 1800s, though its exact date of construction is unknown. The records of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe suggest it was built around 1795, as a license authorizing its construction was issued that year. However, the church&#39;s existence was not definitively documented until 1821. Conversely, at least one source claimed the church is much older, dating to before the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, though this is probably apocryphal. The famous altar screen depicting Our Lady of Guadalupe, transported in pieces from Mexico City over the Camino Real, is signed by José de Alcíbar and dated 1783.</p><br>
<p>The church remained active until the 1830s, but by the time the USA Army occupied the city in 1846, it was little-used and in disrepair. A visitor in 1881, John Gregory Bourke, wrote</p><br>
<p>At the time of Bourke&#39;s description, the church was only being used once a year for the festival of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12. However, after the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad arrived in Santa Fe in 1880, Archbishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy arranged to have it repaired to serve the new English-speaking population brought by the railroad. A native of France, Lamy preferred European architectural styles over the local adobe vernacular and had the church remodeled with a pitched roof and steeple starting in 1881.</p><br>
<p>On June 27, 1922, the steeple and roof were destroyed by a fire that also damaged the interior, though the altar screen survived. The church was then rebuilt in the Mission Revival style with curved parapets and a tiled roof. It was remodeled again in 1976–78 to bring it closer to the original appearance, though some of the Mission details remain in place. Since the opening of a new church next door in 1961, it is no longer an active parish church but is still used for monthly masses.</p><br>
<p>The Hans C. Jensen House, at 263 E. 100 South in Ephraim, Utah, is a historic pair-house built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah." It is a one-and-a-half-story limestone pair-house, of the subtype having a two-room deep plan. It has paired internal stove chimneys. A bungalow-style portico is a later addition.</p><br>
<p>It was home of Hans C. Jensen, born in 1845 in Housenge, Denmark. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1860s and immigrated to Utah in 1866, settling in Ephraim. He was a farmer who also "served on the city council, and was active in the local Danish ward meeting."</p><br>
<p>The house is south-facing. By 2009, the western one of the pair of roof-piercing chimneys was no longer present.</p><br>
<p>The Oluf Larsen House, at 75 S. 100 West in Ephraim, Utah, is a historic pair-house which was built in 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story adobe house with elements of Greek Revival style. In the early 1900s it was plastered and painted to simulate brick, and then later it was stuccoed. It has paired internal stove chimneys and "is a rare example of the TYPE I pair house."</p><br>
<p>It was home of Oluf Larsen, who was born in Drammen, Norway in 1836. After converting to the LDS church in 1857, he immigrated to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1861.</p><br>
<p>The house was home, after 1890, of Ellen G. Dorius, a polygamous wife of C.C.N. Dorius.</p><br>
<p>The house is on the east side of a north-south street; its front, however, faces north.</p><br>
<p>The Dykes Sorensen House, at 2nd East St. in Ephraim, Utah, is a pair-house built around 1865–1875. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed "architecturally significant as an example of Scandinavian folk building design in Utah." It is a one-story adobe house which is a modified version of a pair-house (usually three rooms wide). Its plan and its facade&#39;s fenestration is consistent with the pair-house style, although this was only built two rooms wide; perhaps Sorensen had intended to complete it out as a full pair-house later. It is termed a "Type IV" pair-house, and has an indented porch in what would be its center section (if the third room was added to the south end).</p><br>
<p>Dykes Sorensen was a Danish farmer about whom not much is known; he obtained the deed for this property in 1871.</p><br>
<p>It is located at 302 S. 200 East in Ephraim. It faces east, and its property is located on the southwest corner of E. 300 South and S. 200 East.</p><br>
<p>The Andrew Barentsen House, located at 195 W. 200 South in Fountain Green in Sanpete County, Utah, was built in 1874. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story brick house with a three-room pair-house plan. It has paired internal chimneys which have decorative corbelling on the ridge of the house&#39;s roof. Its windows have smooth stone pediments. A stone over the front door indicates "1874". It has a one-story rear extension which seems to be original.</p><br>
<p>Andrew Marcus Barentsen, born in 1833 in Bovsthoue, Ribe, Grimstrup Parish, Denmark, joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1850s and immigrated to Utah in 1863. He was a farmer and cattleman, and had two wives: Gertrude H. Ericksen who lived in this brick house with him, and Petrea Jorgensen who lived in a small frame house on the property.</p><br>
<p>The house had been used for hay storage in the 1970s, and in 1981 it was vacant and was in deteriorated condition.</p><br>
<p>The house still existed, and appeared vacant, in 2007, at the southeast corner of W. 200 S. St. and S. 200 W. St. in Fountain Green. It no longer appears to exist at that location in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Tucson Inn is a motel located in Tucson, Arizona, in an area now known as the Miracle Mile Historic District. The motel was built in 1953 in the Googie architecture and Modernist style, and is an example of historic 1950s Mid-century modern highway motel architecture.</p><br>
<p>Intended to attract tourists and overnight motorists crossing the country on USA Route 80 and USA Route 89, the building was one of Tucsons largest motor hotels when it was constructed. The luxury inn was designed by Anne Jackson Rysdale, the only registered female architect in Arizona at the time. The architecture typifies classic, clean modernism paired with the boisterous exuberance of midcentury industrial design as exemplified by the monumental neon sign. Amenities enhanced the attractiveness of its sixty-five guest rooms, included a heated swimming pool, formal restaurant, and a diner/coffee shop. The construction of Interstate 10 and the subsequent additional off-ramp exits reduced the relevance and robust economic power of Miracle Mile. Nevertheless, the Tucson Inn and its iconic neon sign survived the corridors decline.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Architect Anne Jackson Rysdale conceived the Tucson Inn as a two-story, U-shaped motor hotel typical of national motel design trends developing across the country following World War II. American prosperity led to increased mobility and national optimism during the 1950s. Artists and industrial creators expressed this new confidence in the design of American cars and architecture. Americans were on the road, traveling paved highways to romantic parts of the country; the proliferation of motels was a natural extension of this highway experience. Before the appearance of now ubiquitous "motel chains," The Tucson Inn was developed as part of a growing movement of improved amenities competing for motor tourist.</p><br>
<p>The opening of the Tucson Inn was a city milestone. Multiple newspaper articles detailed the property and its opening. According to Micheline Keating of the Tucson Daily Citizen, three months before the property opened on November 8, 1952:</p><br>
<p>The latest of these luxury motor hotels, Tucson Inn, is expected to be ready for business by the end of November. A 65- unit job, owners Lyndon Miner and Phil Baker say the inn will be a "real showplace when finished." Combining a color combination of brown, white, green, and pink, Tucson Inn will be the only two story motel in Tucson. The U-shape building will feature a covered balcony around the second floor. It will be operated with a 24-hour lobby service and complete hotel facilities. As Newhall puts it: "Our aim is to make Tucson motor hotels the best in the county and help Tucson’s reputation grow as an outstanding spot to stop, to stay, to live." (Keating)</p><br>
<p>In the days leading to the opening of the Tucson Inn, numerous articles detailed the various amenities available to guests in the January 30, 1953 Tucson Daily Citizen:</p><br>
<p>Bathing beauties, telecasting, and tours of the premises are among the fanfare and trumpeting heralding Sunday’s formal opening of the new Tucson Inn.</p><br>
<p>The half-million dollar motor hotel, located on Drachman street just west of Stone Avenue has been receiving guests for the past month. The 63-unit hotel is owned by Lyndon Miner, formerly of Phoenix and Phil Baker of Salt Lake City. The U-shaped structure is two-storied with continuous covered verandas on both floors. There is a large sundeck overlooking Mabel Street. The rooms are so arranged that large families may be conveniently accommodated.</p><br>
<p>The rooms are furnished with single, twin or double beds and each has a dressing alcove and closet. Some have full bath and shower equipment, and others contain a stall shower only. There is a 24-hour switchboard service to all rooms. And each room is equipped with a radio selector for all Tucson stations as well as one for the reception of record music controlled in the central office. A dining room and coffee shop located in a separate building fronting Drachman Street was opened last Sunday. The coffee shop has 24-hour service. Picture windows in the dining rooms overlook the heated swimming pool and a flagstone lounging terrace. Later on, tables for dining service will be added to the terrace area. The dining rooms are open to the general public as well as hotel guests. The new inn employs a staff of 30 and is managed by Mike Muchmore, who has had four years experience in motor hotel management in Phoenix.</p><br>
<p>By 1954 the owners began planning for the expansion of the property with the Tucson Inn Annex. By 1956, the 65-unit motor hotel substantially expanded with a second outer "U", encircling the original, increasing the number of rooms to 205. The Manger Hotel Corporation purchased the Inn in 1960 for two million dollars. By 1960, the motel contained four dining rooms, two kitchens, a coffee shop and cocktail lounge, but within a few decades, however, the corridor was in severe economic decline. The large expansion was demolished, leaving only the original buildings.</p><br>
<p>The motel was home to the Bagdad Room, a bar and restaurant that featured celebrity performers of the mid-century era. The motel&#39;s guests included Western film stars shooting movies at Old Tucson Studios, and thought leaders including author Ernest Hemingway and painter Waldo Peirce.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The motel is a contributing property within the Miracle Mile Historic District. and saved from demolition in 2018, when it was purchased by Pima Community College who made public commitments at the time of purchase their plan preserve and restore the building.</p><br>
<p>The Miracle Mile Historic District, located on North Stone Avenue, Drachman Street, Oracle Road and Miracle Mile in Tucson, Arizona, United States, was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located north of downtown Tucson, the Miracle Mile Historic District is a significant commercial corridor connected to the development and alignment of Tucsons northern segment of USA Route 80, USA Route 89, and Arizona State Route 84. Throughout the mid-twentieth century, this commercial strip, known as “Miracle Mile,” functioned as the northern vehicular gateway of Tucson for travelers traversing the nation. The Miracle Mile Historic District follows the alignment of the following extant arterials: Stone Avenue, Drachman Street, Oracle Road, and Miracle Mile. Also included in the district and associated with the highway site is a two block segment of Main Avenue lined with trucking transfer warehouses and roadside commercial buildings, as well as four blocks of Flores Street containing a cluster of small motels. The bulk of the contributing resources, facing or within one block of the historic highway alignment, relate to mid‑century auto culture and were constructed in 1920 through 1963 during the districts period of significance. While the district has been rendered discontiguous by development, the identified segments have sufficient significance and integrity to meet National Register criteria. Two designated highways are routed down the Miracle Mile Historic District. The Stone Avenue, Drachman Street and Oracle Road segments of the Historic District are part of Historic USA Route 80, while the West Miracle Mile segment is part of Arizona State Route 77.</p><br>
<p>The Miracle Mile Historic District represents four visually and historically linked groups of buildings connected by the alignment of historical USA Route 80/89, which is also a contributor to the district. In total, the Miracle Mile Historic District includes 102 individual properties, many with multiple buildings, structures, and objects. Within the Miracle Mile Historic District are 279 individual resources, including 215 buildings, 1 site, 34 structures, and 29 objects. Of these resources, 258 are contributors to the district, including 198 buildings, 31 structures, 28 objects, and 1 site, while 21 are non-contributors, including 17 buildings, 3 structures, and 1 object. The district includes important buildings including the 1953 Tucson Inn, and African American Beau Brummel Club.</p><br>

<p>The Herman F. Micheel Gothic Arched-Roof Barn, in Brookings County, South Dakota, is a Gothic-arch barn built in 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It is located 5 miles north and 3 miles west of White, South Dakota.</p><br>
<p>It was built for Herman Friedrich Micheel, a farmer who was born in 1873 near Rollingstone, Minnesota, and who built a house and barn on this property in about 1900. In 1920 the original barn was demolished and replaced. Local carpenter Henry Wulbers supervised several others in preparing the materials before the barn was raised. A "shingling bee" was organized to cover the curved roof of the barn with cedar shingles all in one day.</p><br>
<p>The Oliver and Lucy Bonnell Gothic Arch Roofed Barn in Park County, Montana, or simply the Bonnell Barn, is a Gothic-arch barn which was built in 1922. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>

<p>It is located at the rear of the George Obendorf farm complex in Canyon County, Idaho about 6 mi north of Wilder.</p><br>
<p>It is 42x60 ft in plan and rests on a concrete foundation. Its components were pre-manufactured by Sears, Roebuck & Co., shipped to Wilder, and assembled by local carpenters and the Obendorf family.</p><br>
<p>The Beamer Barn in Gove County, Kansas, near Oakley, is a Gothic-arch barn which was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>It was built during 1923-24 by farmer Ross Beamer and his brother-in-law Ross Gallion to replace a previous barn which had burned. The first floor is built of ceramic blocks on a concrete foundation.</p><br>
<p>A 2012 visitor informally reported on condition of the barn, which is on private property:Oakleys historic Beamer Barn needs a benefactor! Its lost most of its shingles and has many other issues, but is still home to this pinto and several others. This dutch gambrel style roof and even this very style of cupola-thingy is ubiquitous in this area, which according to a local was home to many German and other nationalities of Catholics in the last couple centuries. I was pleasantly surprised to find a church or even cathedral in many towns, and 66 loves her some cemeteries of old! The horse pictured took three bites out of Monica after trying to star in my video. He&#39;s a self-centered pain in the arse and is being sent elsewhere (according to farmer Tom Sharp who graciously let us into the paddock so we could get close to his historic barn).</p><br>
<p>Photos from 2014 show one end wall of the loft is missing and it is in overall poor condition:</p><br>
<p>The Jens Nielsen House in Ephraim, Utah, is a one-story limestone and adobe pair-house built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah."</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The building is an example of what has been termed a "Type IV pair-house", given it has a tripartite plan (appears to have three equal-sized rooms, each with two bays, and an indented porch in the center section. The outside rooms are stone with a coursed ashlar finish; the center section is adobe, plastered over and marked off on the front to resemble stonework. In 1981, the house remained in a similar condition as when it was built, 110 years before, with the only significant change being a shed roof frame extension to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The structure was probably built by Jens Christian Nielsen, a Danish-born farmer, around 1870.</p><br>
<p>A pair-house is a three-room house found in the US built in the 19th century by Scandinavian immigrants as an adaptation of common houses from their homeland. Commonly found in the US state of Utah, pair-houses are historically significant as being representative of ethnic diversity in an area and time that favored uniformity among followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . A number of pair-houses are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The Fredrick Christian Sorensen House in Ephraim, Utah, built around 1850 by Danish immigrant Fredrick Christian Sorensen, is an early example of an adobe pair-house with a roof of log purlins and sawn rafters. There are many other pair-houses built by Scandinavian immigrants in Ephraim and throughout Sanpete County.</p><br>
<p>The name is a translation of the Swedish which literally means "pair-cottage", indicating a center room with a pair of flanking rooms. While a Swedish parstuga also has three linear rooms, the center room is narrower than the end rooms and is used as the entry and kitchen. The central room in a pair-house is the main living space in the house. The name is attributed to Swedish scholar of the University of Stockholm. The Danish name means "twin-house" and in Norway, it is the or "double house". The central-passage house originating in colonial America also has a linear three-room design, but is distinct because the center room was narrow and used only as a passageway. The name for the house in Finnish (part of Sweden until 1809) is "paritupa", and is derived from the Swedish, though "tupa" can mean both "cottage" and "room" (literally "pair of rooms").</p><br>
<p>The pair-house has also been characterized as a scaled-down Danish (farmhouse).</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>The design dates to the 16th century in central and northern Sweden and central and western Norway where it remained the main dwelling on larger farms into the 19th-century. Its use expanded to Denmark by the end of the 18th century, becoming common there over the next half-century. It was first an upper-class home but gradually became a common rural farmhouse for the middle-class farms and a symbol of economic progress from peasantry.</p><br>
<p>Rectangular three-room dwellings with a center entrance were not unique to Scandinavia. The German em had a central room used as a kitchen, flanked by a living area and a stable. Similar three-room structures with a central kitchen room were constructed in France, and spread from western Europe to southwestern Russia where they were introduced by German-Russian settlers, and throughout northern and eastern Europe. Elongated three-room houses are found throughout the Baltic Sea region including the Scandinavian countries, Finland, Russia, Poland, and Germany.</p><br>
<h2>US distribution</h2><br>
<p>Most documented pair-houses are found in Utah, but can be found elsewhere. Danish immigrants in the Great Plains primarily adopted popular American architectural styles, they also built pair-houses with neoclassical facades during the 1870s and 1880s. As in Utah, they represented economic achievement and ethnic identity.</p><br>
<p>One-story, gable roofed, three room dwellings were built by German-Russians in Emmons County, North Dakota. The style has also been called the "Baltic three-room house" by some. Pair-houses have also been identified in Arizona and Idaho.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>While some pair-houses are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), a collection of such houses in Utah, nonadjacent and disconnected, have been documented as the Scandinavian-American Pair-house Thematic Group. These houses span four Utah counties and represent the "multi-cultural nature of early Mormon society".</p><br>
<p>They make up some of the oldest houses in Utah and few exist today that have not been significantly altered or deteriorated. Scandinavian immigrants in Utah, many of whom previously lived as peasants, were able to own land and build what they considered a middle-class style house, differing both from other types of local architecture, usually based on English styles, and their prior peasant dwellings.</p><br>
<p>Utah pair-houses, while all having the deterministic three-room layout, differed in ways such as window and chimney placement, dimension, and material.</p><br>
<p>While found throughout Utah, pair-houses are most common in "Little Scandinavia", the Sanpete-Sevier county area, where the Scandinavian immigrants were the most concentrated. Over 90% of Utah&#39;s recorded pair-house examples are located there.</p><br>
<p>Over 20,000 Scandinavians emigrated to Utah in the 19th-century where the Mormon theocracy discouraged "retention of Old World values and customs" in an attempt to build a homogeneous church following. The pair-house demonstrates that some level of ethnic diversity was tolerated.</p><br>
<p>Several pair-houses are known to have been built for or are otherwise associated with Anglo-American Mormons demonstrating popularity and practicality with non-Scandinavians.</p><br>
<h3>Individual houses</h3><br>
<p>The following pair-houses were identified by the Utah State Historical Society and submitted to the National Park Service/Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service for listing on the NRHP. Most were eventually listed individually; two are included in a listed historic district and three were removed from consideration at the request of the owners. Approximately thirty others were identified in the nomination but not considered worthy of listing/preservation due to significant deterioration, alteration, or demolition.</p><br>
<p>Also, the Annie Birch House, near Hoytsville, Utah, was built around 1875.</p><br>
<h2>Categories</h2><br>
<p>The Utah State Historical Society, in its NRHP study/submission identified four major categories or variations of pair-houses. Some types also have more minor variations. These four main types are:</p><br>
<h3>Type I</h3><br>
<p>Type I houses are the most similar to the oldest pair-houses in Norway and Sweden, with the central room proportioned about two-thirds the size of the outer square rooms. The center room has a door and the end rooms are symmetrical with one or two windows. The center room is 12-13 ft wide, double the 6-7 ft width of the central-passage house&#39;s middle passageway.</p><br>
<h3>Type II</h3><br>
<p>Type II houses are the most common in Utah and feature a center room larger than the end rooms. The main room is either a square with the end rooms three-quarters or two-thirds its size, or a slightly larger rectangle with square end rooms. This type normally has windows on the side of the entry door, creating a window-door-window cluster, and a single window in each end room.</p><br>
<h3>Type III</h3><br>
<p>Type III houses are similar to Type II; however, the window and doors are spaced evenly along the facade, requiring adjustments to the internal symmetry of the rooms.</p><br>
<h3>Type IV</h3><br>
<p>In this type all three rooms are square, but the center room is smaller and aligned in the back creating a recessed porch in the front. The center room may have the normal window-door-window configuration or just a window-door due to the smaller size. The end rooms each have either one or two windows.</p><br>
<p>The Caleb Baldwin House, at 195 S. 400 East in Beaver, Utah, is a historic hall and parlor plan house built around 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was built of pink rock, including pink rock lintels above its door and windows. Its walls are 18 in thick. It has elements of Greek Revival style including symmetry of two windows, door, and two windows across its front facade, and Greek Revival-style cornice. The house has a T-plan extension to the rear, and a further pink rock addition to the rear added in c.1900, plus a shed roof frame addition of c.1910.</p><br>
<p>Denny Place, at 217 Lexington St. in Lancaster, Kentucky, is a historic house built in 1899. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story four bay brick and wood shingle house with a high hipped roof. It has overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets. It is the only brick Queen Anne style house remaining in Lancaster.</p><br>
<p>It was built for Samuel Cabell Denny. Denny was cashier of the National Bank of Lancaster for 30 years, then president for 10 years. His wife survived him and lived in the house until 1966.</p><br>
<p>The Lancaster, Kentucky Cemetery in Lancaster, Kentucky dates from 1861. It is enclosed by Campbell, Crab Orchard, and Richmond Streets in Lancaster. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The listing included two contributing buildings and a contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>A sexton&#39;s house was built in 1866, using bricks from the former Old Republican Church which had been built in 1815. It has a stone receiving vault (1897) which was used to store bodies when grave digging was not possible. It has an original iron fence and stone entrance pillars, while entrance gates were recent (as of 1984) copies of original gates.</p><br>

Its NRHP nomination argues that the building is one of Mobridge&#39;s most important buildings" and that it "provides a good example of the type of architecture prevalent during the eclectic period: The library borrows from the classical, Jacobethan, and English Medieval modes. The library has been and continues to be a purveyor of educational material to the community. Also the building is important because it represents the philanthropy of A.H.Brown, a successful local businessman."</p><br>
<p>The Mill Brook Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge, located just north of Lower Blissville Road in Lisbon, Connecticut. With a plausibly estimated construction date of the 1790s, it is probably the oldest surviving stone arch bridge in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Since then, it has deteriorated and is partially collapsed.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mill Brook Bridge is located several hundred yards east of the Shetucket River, on the north side of Lower Blissville Road just west of its junction with Icehouse and Blissville Roads. It is a single-span masonry arch, with a span of about 10 ft across Mill Brook, which the roadway crosses on a modern steel girder bridge. The arch is built out of roughly hewn rubble stone, and was originally laid dry (without any mortar. It would have been topped by layers of soil, with a roadbed above. The arch originally had a width of about 18 ft. The bridge&#39;s top layers have been eroded away, and part of the arch has collapsed.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was originally located where Lower Blissville Road now runs; it was relocated to its present position in 1915, when a modern bridge was built on the site. The road has been a historically important route, opened by 1717, as a route connecting Norwich and Plainfield. By the late 18th century, the route had been designated as a post route, resulting in an increase in stagecoach traffic. In 1790, the town of Lisbon made a number of improvements to the route, documented in 1792 to include a "stone causeway" on Bundy Hill, the slope to the west. The bridge&#39;s dry laid and rough cut construction is consistent with bridge building of the period, where later bridge construction tended to use mortar and more formally dressed stone.</p><br>
<p>Johnston&#39;s Grocery Store, at 301 N. Picacho in Casa Grande, Arizona, is a historic building built around 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its use of adobe, which was rarely used for commercial buildings at the time of its construction. The building first served as a grocery store until 1932, first operated by Johnston and then by Wong Hong Chin. It was later home of Sofia&#39;s Mexican Chicken.</p><br>
<p>It was owned from 1920 to 1935 by George Washington Johnston.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Warehouse in Casa Grande, Arizona was built in 1922 by stonemason Michael Sullivan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It is a single-story rectangular building made of field stone, with a corrugated metal hipped roof. It served as warehouse and cooler for the Pioneer Meat Market. Its Arizona historic property inventory states: "The building&#39;s most unusual feature is a metal roof covered with three feet of dirt and topped with another metal roof. It was reportedly the coolest warehouse in town."</p><br>
