<p>The Cumberland Central Business District is a commercial historic district in downtown Cumberland, Kentucky. While Cumberland was first settled in the 1820s, the district was developed during the areas coal mining boom of the 1910s and 1920s, which came after the Louisville and Nashville Railroad built lines through the region. Two of the largest mines in Harlan County, at Benham and Lynch, were near Cumberland; Benham and Lynch were company towns, however, which made Cumberland the closest commercial center independent of the mining companies. During this period, downtown Cumberland added a bank, a theater, a bus station, and many restaurants and specialty shops. The local coal industry declined dramatically during the Great Depression, and many of Cumberlands businesses closed as mining companies and their employees left the region.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Chipman Public Library is a historic public library located at 126 N. Locust Street in Momence, Illinois. Momences library board was formed in 1901, and the towns first library opened in 1907 in three rooms in the Momence State and Savings Bank. Edward Chipman, the banks main stockholder, left $10,000 for a new library building upon his death in 1910, and the current building was completed in 1912. Architect Charles Danforth Henry designed the Neoclassical building, which features a portico at the front entrance and a limestone entablature that includes a cornice with modillions. The building has served as the citys library since its opening; it also briefly served as a hospital during the 1918 flu pandemic.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 7, 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Mystic Bank is a historic commercial building at 39 Main Street in the Old Mystic village of Stonington, Connecticut. Built in 1856 for a bank founded in 1833, it was used by the town as a meeting hall after the bank closed in 1884, and now houses offices. It is a good example of a small 19th-century Greek Revival brick bank building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Mystic Bank building is located in the center of Old Mystic Village, on the west side of Main Street south of its junction with Old Mystic Center Road. It is a modest single-story brick building, with a gabled roof and granite foundation. The main facade is three bays wide, topped by a pedimented gable. Each bay is set in a round-arch recess, with rectangular sash windows in the outer bays and the main entrance in the center bay. Each are topped by stone lintels, with brickwork filling the rounded arch above. The interior retains virtually all of its original finishes, including woodwork, plaster, and flooring; the original bank vault is also still present.</p><br>
<p>The Mystic Bank was founded in 1833 by a consortium of local businessmen as a service to the local shipbuilding community and the surrounding rural areas. The bank flourished, and was able to build this building in 1856 to accommodate its expanded business. Mystic&#39;s economic center, however, had begun to shift south to the Mystic Bridge area (now Mystic), and the bank closed in 1887. The town of Stonington acquired the building soon afterward, and used it as a district meeting hall and polling place. These uses ended about 1960. The building was again repurposed, this time to house the Indian and Colonial Research Center, a museum displaying a collection of native and colonial-era artifacts.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Frederick Andre was a German immigrant who came to the United States in 1867. He moved from Nebraska to the Gayville area in 1874. After his first wife died in 1885, he returned to Germany the following year and reconnected with an old sweetheart, Georgina, who was also recently widowed. He brought her and her children back to Gayville, where they married, and in 1896 William constructed this large brick house for his family. William died in 1906 and Georgina in 1939, and both are buried in Vangen Church Cemetery in Mission Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick Italianate style house on a brick foundation.

This parlor was used to entertain guests and host events, including dances. A grand central oak staircase provides access to the second floor. The two-story gable portion at the rear was used as a servants&#39; living space. Two large brick chimneys are located on either side. A large porch on the first floor was removed sometime prior to 1980. It was deemed notable as "an excellent example of the Italianate style of architecture in South Dakota&quot the house has defining elements of Italianate including a "low pitched roof, decorative brackets beneath the eaves, tall narrow windows and elaborate window crowns."</p><br>
<p>Blue Ball Church, in Hardin County, Kentucky near Howe Valley, was built in 1849. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is also known as Blueball Baptist Church or Blue Ball Baptist Church.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story gable-front brick church, with brick laid in common bond, on a limestone foundation. A two-story frame addition extended the building to the rear in c.1950. A two-story annex, also to the rear, was built by 2008.</p><br>
<p>The church was deemed "a notable example of an ante-bellum gable front church. The church is the only ante-bellum brick church located in the county outside of Elizabethtown and is a good example of an early brick church constructed by congregations in the early to mid-19th century. The building retains its original entrance, windows and brick detailing."</p><br>

The interior is also notable with exposed beams, Craftsman style light fixtures, window seats and decorative brick fireplaces."</p><br>
<p>The New England Hebrew Farmers of the Emanuel Society Synagogue and Creamery Site is a complex of historic archaeological sites near the junction of Connecticut Routes 161 and 85 in Montville, Connecticut. The sites include that of a late 19th-century synagogue, and the remains of a creamery complex operated by local Jewish dairy farmers that was located nearby. It was one of the first rural Jewish settlements in the state, supported financially by the Baron de Hirsch. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The New England Hebrew Farmers of the Emanuel Society Synagogue and Creamery Site is located southwest of the junction of Routes 161 and 85 in the village of Chesterfield. It consists of several parcels, and is partially bisected by Powers Brook, which originally provided power for the creamery. The site is wooded, except for an open grassy area where the synagogue stood. This area is now marked by a commemorative stone plaque. In the woods nearby are foundational remnants of the creamery building and other buildings related to the Jewish community that thrived here around the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Jewish community in Chesterfield was established in the 1890s as part of an effort by the Baron de Hirsch, a prominent Jewish philanthropist, to resettle Jews fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe in the United States. Most of the original Jewish settlers in this area were Orthodox Jews who had first settled in Brooklyn, New York. Farmland in southeastern Connecticut was inexpensive at the time, and its purchase was supported financially by de Hirsch and others. A Jewish congregation was formally established in 1890, and was called Society Agudas Achim. A modest wood-frame synagogue was built on this site in 1892, and the creamery was built the same year as a cooperative venture of the congregants as an outlet for the milk they produced. Later buildings include a small powerhouse and a mikvah. The creamery only operated for about twenty years, before changing trends in dairy consumption led to its demise. The building was eventually repurposed as an inn, but was destroyed by fire in 1950. The synagogue was also damaged in the fire, and was also eventually abandoned.</p><br>
<p>Descendendants of some of the original settlers formed a historical society in the 1980s to preserve and remember the legacy of the settlement, resulting in the placement of the commemorative marker, and the site&#39;s listings both as a state archaeological site and on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Western Union Building, formerly known as the Hagerty Block and currently as the Dacotah Prairie Museum, is a historic bank building in Aberdeen, South Dakota. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property to the Aberdeen Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Northwestern National Bank formed in Aberdeen in 1888 with Henry Marple as president. In August 1888, the bank purchased the property and general store at 21–23 South Main Street to build a new bank building. Construction took place from 1888 through 1889 with the bank opening in the new location in February 1889. In May 1891, a fire damaged the building and gutted the Kearney and Boyer grocery store. In March 1903, another fire damaged the building, originating in the basement banana room of the Gamble & Robinson grocery store.</p><br>
<p>The building was purchased by Jay Hagerty in 1907, becoming known as the Hagerty Block. In 1920, existing tenant Western Union took over the most prominent space in the building, which then became known as the Western Union Building. Over the years, aside from the bank, the building housed grocery stores and several offices. By 1980 the museum was the sole occupant of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places as the only remaining 19th century bank building in Aberdeen; it was listed on December 12, 1976. The building is also listed on the National Register as a key contributing property of the Aberdeen Commercial Historic District; the district was listed on May 23, 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Western Union Building is an example of Romanesque Revival architecture. The structure is a three-story building made of red brick laid in running bond. There are three main entrances, each framed by a large arch and set a few steps above street level. Pilasters extend the full height of the building, separating windows on the first floor and window pairs on the second and third floors. The interior has undergone renovations, but the exterior has changed little over the building&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The William Bush House, at 1927 Tunnel Hill Rd. in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, is a historic house built in 1817. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story Federal style house built in stages. In 1817 a brick three-bay two-story central passage plan house was built. During the 1820s and 1830s lateral additions resulted in a seven-bay two-story house, with the additions including matching brick corbelling at the cornice and other matching details. A porch with Doric columns was added c.1910.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "a notable example of an early 19th century brick residence" and is one of the oldest homes in the city limits of Elizabethtown. It is also notable for ties to early settler William Bush. William Bush was the son of Christopher Bush, an early settler who moved to Hardin County in the 1780s. William Bush amassed a large farm in the early 1800s and in 1817 he had the original three bay brick section of this home constructed which is one of the oldest within the city limits of Elizabethtown. Bushs sister, Sara Bush Johnston, married Thomas Lincoln in 1819 and became Abraham Lincolns stepmother.</p><br>
<p>The house is noteworthy for its unusual lateral addition plan of the early 19th century. The house was enlarged in the 1820s and 1830s by the construction of matching two-story brick additions. These additions were carefully constructed with corbelled brick at the cornice and windows and door openings to match those on the original structure. This type of lateral addition is unusual in the county with most additions of this period occurring at the rear of structures. Since the early 1800s modern additions have been confined to the rear of the house and it displays its original 19th century character.</p><br>
<p>The Embry Chapel Church, at 117 Mulberry St. in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, was built in 1868 to serve the Second Presbyterian Church, and was sold in 1891 to an African Methodist Episcopal congregation which had formed in 1865. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story brick church built with Romanesque Revival style. It has a square bell tower rising from the center of its front facade, with the original arched entrance and brick corbels. Stained glass windows are recessed in brick bays separated by pilasters. There is a c.1970 one-story frame addition at the rear.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Clyde Carroll House, on Dead Man&#39;s Cave Rd. in White Mills, Kentucky is a historic house built in 1903. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story log and frame house with a one-story attached commercial building. It was built originally as a double pen log structure in c. 1840. It was expanded into side passage plan style in 1903, including with addition of a one-story rear frame ell. It has a one-story porch with Doric-style columns.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "notable for its association with the White Mills resort complex and as an intact example of a rural doctor&#39;s office and</p><br>
<p>residence."</p><br>
<p>The Ditto-Prewitt House, at 306 Elm St. in West Point, Kentucky, is a historic house built in 1826. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick central passage plan five-bay house. In c.1960 a one-story porch with wrought-iron posts was added.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "notable for its role in the commercial history of West Point and as a center for military operations during the Civil War. The house was built in 1826 for Abraham Ditto, a prominent West Point merchant, and his brother-in-law, Samuel Lansdale. They had the house built, as an inn to supply lodging for Ohio River travellers. West Point was a major port along the Ohio River in the 19th century and it was one of several inns supplying overnight lodging along the river. The inn was built on the bluff overlooking the river and was operated by Ditto for several years. Later Ditto made the building his residence. During the Civil War, the house was used for three years as a military hospital and as a base hospital for the 9th Michigan Infantry. After the Civil War the house was purchased by Thomas Reed who used the building as a hotel. Known as the Reed Place, the hotel was in operation until the early</p><br>
<p>1900s. The property was purchased about 1905 by Dr. J.V. Prewitt who used the building as his residence and doctor&#39;s office. The building is presently used as a boarding house. The house was heavily damaged in the flood of 1937 but its essential form and original plan remain."</p><br>
<p>The Anniston Cotton Manufacturing Company was a cotton mill which operated from 1880 to 1977.</p><br>
<p>Its three-building complex at 215 W. Eleventh St. in Anniston, Alabama, United States, built in 1880, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, as "Anniston Cotton Manufacturing Company". It has also been known as Chalk Line, Inc.</p><br>
<p>The site was deemed "significant as an example of the spirit of industrialization that grew in the New South following the War Between the States. Built for Annistons two leading industrialists, Samuel Noble and Alfred Tyler, as a companion industry to the citys growing iron industry and as a source of employment for the wives and children of iron workers, the mill was the first textile mill built in town. The mill also had one of the longest periods of operation of any textile mill within the state, beginning in February 1881 and continuing until its closing in 1977."</p><br>
<p>Also, "The Anniston Cotton Manufacturing Company building is significant architecturally for the quality of the Italian Renaissance Revival design as used in an industrial building from the period and as one of the oldest extant examples of a cotton mill building in Alabama."</p><br>
<p>The main building was a three-story brick building.</p><br>
<p>The complex was demolished as of April 2014, and then became the site of the Calhoun County Human Resources Department.</p><br>
<p>The Owatonna Commercial Historic District is a designation applied to the historic downtown of Owatonna, Minnesota, United States. It comprises 75 contributing properties mostly built between 1871 and the late 1950s. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 for having local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for its associations with the growth and prosperity of an agricultural/industrial community and county seat.</p><br>
<p>The Owatonna Commercial Historic District comprises portions of 12 city blocks. Owatonnas Central Park, established in 1871, forms the focal point of the district. The park is bordered by three buildings that were previously listed on the National Register as individual properties: the 1891 Steele County Courthouse, the 1907 Owatonna City and Firemens Hall, and the 1908 National Farmer&#39;s Bank. A total of 74 buildings and one site (Central Park) are considered contributing properties to the district, while 13 buildings and two sites within the boundaries are considered non-contributing.</p><br>

<p>Sacred Heart Church-Punahou is located at 1701 Wilder Avenue, in Honolulu, in the USA state of Hawaii. The church was dedicated in 1914, and its adjacent Bachelot Hall was dedicated in 1923. The property&#39;s rectory was built in 1927. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on February 6, 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The church body was established by French priest Father Clement Evrard. He arrived from Bremen, Germany at Honolulu Harbor on Oahu on March 19, 1864, on the same ship as Father Damien and a number of Sisters of the Sacred Hearts. He was ordained in Honolulu by Vicar Apostolic of the Hawaiian Islands Louis Désiré Maigret, and initially sent to Kohala along with Damien. In 1881, Clement was reassigned to Saint Louis College in Honolulu, and subsequently started a mission in the Portuguese area of the city. In time, he erected the Sacred Heart chapel.</p><br>
<p>Father (later Bishop) Stephen Alencastre, of Portuguese ancestry, attended both Saint Louis College and Sacred Heart Chapel as a youth. After training for the priesthood at Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, he returned to Hawaii in 1902 and was ordained at the chapel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>After Father Clement died in 1909, Father Stephen assumed his duties, and commissioned Honolulu architect E. A. P. Newcomb to design a new structure to replace the chapel. The two-story Gothic Revival building, with stained glass windows designed in France, was dedicated November 1, 1914, in a ceremony presided over by Vicar Apostolic and Bishop of Zeugma Libert H. Boeynaems. At that time, the Bishop officially named Father Stephen as pastor of Sacred Heart.</p><br>
<p>Newcomb and Guylor R. Miller designed Bachelot Memorial Hall, which was completed and dedicated June 23, 1923, with an address by Governor Wallace Rider Farrington. The hall was named after Alexis John Augustine Bachelot, Prefect Apostolic of the Sandwich Islands. His 1827 arrival established the first permanent Catholic mission in the Kingdom of Hawaii.</p><br>
<p>The 1927 two-story Mediterranean Revival style rectory was designed by Rothwell, Kangeter & Lester, and constructed by Walker & Olund. The three buildings were constructed in such a way as to create a private open space with convenient access to all.</p><br>
<p>The Sacred Heart complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oahu on February 6, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Villa Heights house, also known as the ComptonBateman House, is a historic house in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. Built in 1820, it was originally the home of Elijah McClanahan, a lieutenant-colonel in the War of 1812. It has been substantially renovated and restored over the years, including after a 2011 fire, and it is the namesake of the neighborhood of Villa Heights, Roanoke, Virginia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018, and houses assorted non-profit groups.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Elijah McClanahan, Roanoke County&#39;s first high sheriff and a lieutenant colonel in the War of 1812, owned much of what became Northwest Roanoke City. A portion of that land was what he called "Long Meadow", an 814-acre (329 ha) estate upon which, by 1820, he built the two-story, single-pile house in the Federal style that came to be known as Villa Heights.</p><br>
<p>The house underwent multiple changes in ownership at the end of the 19th century. By 1910 it was owned by Sallie Compton, who in that year spent $1,000 to add a rear ell to the structure. This addition put a kitchen and bathroom under the same roof as the original building and added bedrooms to the second floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, the house was sold again to Ernest Bateman, who initiated a significant remodel. A two-story portico with Doric columns was added to the front, and more columns and other Classical revival elements were placed in the building&#39;s interior.</p><br>
<p>The Batemans owned Villa Heights until 1958, when it was purchased by the City of Roanoke and began use as a recreation center. The city divided the estate and turned the 3.4 acre immediately surrounding the house into a park. It also built some additions to the property, including a cinderblock recreation area, an ADA-compliant bathroom in the rear, and two exterior restrooms. A playground and basketball court date to this time as well. The house was also used as a satellite office for Roanoke City Police.</p><br>
<p>The City of Roanoke ceased operations in the building in 2007, and the property was vacant in 2011 when a fire broke out and caused severe damage to the roof. There was little left of the roofing frame to attach tarpaulins or other protective fabrics onto the house, and the interior was left open to the elements for years. The city, which had been attempting to sell the house, was reluctant to pay what was anticipated to be thousands of dollars more than its insurance coverage to properly rehabilitate the property. The home was added to the Virginia endangered landmarks list in 2013.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, the city agreed to sell the property to a local non-profit organization for $1, with the stipulation that at least $868,000 (including $264,000 in insurance funds received by the city after the fire) be spent on renovations. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018, and the building&#39;s sale was expedited after a tax reform bill was advanced that would have ended federal tax breaks for historic renovations; the final version of the bill kept the incentives but required them to be dispensed over a five-year period rather than after one year. The building reopened in 2019, having won an award for its rehabilitation from a local preservation society, and, in 2023, housed a church and assorted non-profit organizations.</p><br>
<p>The William Tichenor House, near Upton, Kentucky, is a historic house built around 1820. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a two-story dogtrot-style double pen house. The breezeway was later enclosed (c.1910). A separate log kitchen was linked by a frame addition c.1900.</p><br>
<p>It became the home of the William Tichenor family; William Tichenor was a shareholder in the 1896 formation of the Sonora Bank and he had a large farm south of</p><br>
<p>Sonora.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable "as a relatively unaltered example of a two-story dogtrot style home. It is one of the five most significant dogtrot log homes located in the county and retains its original plan."</p><br>
<p>The Blooming Prairie Commercial Historic District is a designation applied to the historic downtown of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, United States.

<p>The LUnion Saint Jean-Baptiste dAmerique is a historic building at 1 Social Street in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Built in 1926, it housed a fraternal benefit society for French Canadian Roman Catholic immigrants for many years, serving a significant immigrant population in the community. The building is also a prominent example of Classical Revival architecture, designed by a French Canadian immigrant architect, Walter F. Fontaine. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The LUnion Saint Jean-Baptist dAmerique building occupies a prominent site at the northern end of Woonsocket&#39;s Monument Square, at the southern corner of Social and Worrall Streets. It is a four-story masonry structure, built mainly out of brick but with a limestone facade. The facade faces west toward Social Street and Monument Square, and is dominated by monumental Corinthian columns and pilasters that rise from the second floor to an entablature beneath the projecting cornice. It is eight bays wide, with the outermost bays housing single sash windows, and the inner ones consisting of paired sash windows recessed between the columns. Panels of garlanded stone separate the windows in the inner bays. The ground-floor storefronts have a modern exterior, which has been applied over the original pressed metal storefronts.</p><br>
<p>LUnion Saint-Jean-Baptiste d’Amerique (USJB) was founded in 1900 to serve a burgeoning French Canadian immigrant population in New England and the United States, drawn by the prospect of employment in the many textile mills. In Woonsocket, for example, by 1900 fully 60% of the citys population was of French Canadian extraction, and by 1920 it was among the most French cities in the country. The USJB was a national organization which provided a support network for French Canadians, particularly supporting the continuation of French Canadian language and culture; its official language was French, and its membership was required to be Roman Catholic. The organization was originally headquartered in a building on Clinton Street, and had this building erected as its headquarters in 1926. It maintained its headquarters here until 1991, when it merged with Catholic Family Life Insurance.</p><br>
<p>The Ezra Abbott House is a historic house in Owatonna, Minnesota, United States. It was built around 1860 for Ezra Abbott , an influential early settler of Owatonna.

<p>The Philip Arnold House, at 422 E. Poplar St. in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, is an Italianate-style house built in 1869. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The house was home of Philip Arnold, a confidence man at the center of the Diamond hoax of 1872.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story house with a gable roof, built in a T-plan in 1869. Around 1912 a one-story frame porch was added, with Doric square posts, which was later partially enclosed. Around 1960 a one-story brick addition was also added.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its association during 1872–1879 with businessman Philip Arnold. The Kentucky historical society evaluation of the house includes this description:Arnold was a native of Elizabethtown who gained notoriety after claiming the discovery of diamond mines in Colorado and Arizona. Arnold formed a company to exploit the mines and moved back to Elizabethtown in 1872 a wealthy man. The mines later turned out to be a hoax and Arnold was the subject of several lawsuits and briefly spent time in the Elizabethtown jail. In 1872, he purchased this home from original owner William Wilson and lived here until his death. Arnold later opened a bank in the city and built the Gilded Age building, a prominent Italianate commercial building still standing, although altered, on the public square. Arnold&#39;s business dealings remained suspect in these years and in 1873 he was wounded in a shoot out with a rival businessman. Arnold continued to be active in local commerce until his death in 1879. The diamond hoax was one of the most famous of the 19th century and several books have been written dealing with Arnold and this famous incident.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was later the McMurtry family home and was "one of the city&#39;s most notable Italianate residences", but remodelling of the porch and the brick addition reduced its architectural merit, so it is not listed for its architecture.</p><br>
<p>The William Noyes Farmstead is a historic farm property at 340 Gallup Hill Road in Ledyard, Connecticut. Dating to about 1735, it is a well-preserved example of a rural farmstead. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Noyes Farmstead is located in southeastern Ledyard, its buildings set on either side of Gallup Hill Road west of its junction with Shewville Road.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Pontiac was founded in 1818-19 by a group of investors. In 1819, Oakland County was established, with a county seat at Pontiac. By 1820, Pontiac had a dam, a sawmill, a flour mill, and a blacksmith shop. A courthouse was constructed in 1824, and by 1830 the city of Pontiac was clearly the center of commerce for the county. In 1840, the business district was completely leveled by fire. Buildings were rebuilt in the district, including a series of buildings in the heart of the district, facing North Saginaw between West Pike and West Lawrence Streets, which are still extant.</p><br>
<p>The industrial growth of the city only really began in 1886 when a carriage factory was established by local businessman Charles V. Taylor. By 1900, three quarters of the male workers in the city were employed in the carriage and buggy trade. By 1907 these factories were being converted to serves the automobile industry, and in 1909 General Motors absorbed many of the independent manufacturers, leading to an explosive growth in population. This growth led to a rebuilding of the central business district in the first three decades of the twentieth century, and much of the district contains buildings constructed during this time.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pontiac Commercial Historic District contains parts of sixteen blocks in downtown Pontiac including the single block within the original 1984 district. This block contains sixteen buildings, of which fourteen contribute to the historic nature of the district. The remainder of the district contains an additional 84 buildings, of which 53 contribute to the historic nature of the district.</p><br>

<p>The original portion of the district designated in 1984 is located within a single block bounded by Saginaw, Lawrence, Pike, and Wayne Streets. The buildings are all commercial brick structures of two or three stories in height, fronting on the sidewalk. The eastern half of the block, fronting on Saginaw, was completely rebuilt some time after time 1840 fire and prior to 1865. Nearly all of these buildings, the oldest in the district, remain, running from 1 to 21 North Saginaw and interrupted only by a single non-contributing structure at 17 N. Saginaw. Many of the buildings were remodeled in the 1910s and 1920s, resulting in a breadth of architectural styles represented in the facades. Other buildings on the block, fronting on Lawrence and Pike, were originally constructed in the 1910s and 1920s.</p><br>
<h3>Boundary increase</h3><br>
<p>The buildings in the 1989 boundary increase were primarily constructed during Pontiac&#39;s boom years of 1900-1930, although the district does include some structures from the late 19th century.

<p>The Hinds Hotel  is a historic building located in Freestone, California in the United States. Built in 1876, the Hinds Hotel is a former hotel, antique store and plant nursery. Today, it serves as a private commercial business and home. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been named a California Historic Landmark and a Sonoma County Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 32-room Hinds Hotel was built in August 1876 by Hollis B. Hinds. A farmer, Hinds moved to Sonoma County in 1863 from Tennessee. He built the hotel upon the announcement that the North Pacific Coast Railroad would start serving Freestone, which would serve as the terminus. The hotel was frequently used by carpenters working on the railroad line. According to first hand reports, the innkeeper at the Hinds Hotel intentionally had parts of a nearby bridge, that the carpenters were building, burned at night, delaying the completion of work in order to retain his client base longer. The innkeeper would serve time in jail for his efforts.</p><br>
<p>As of 1910, the building was called Park House and in the 1930s it was called the Wayside Inn. By 1930, railroad service had stopped and the train tracks were removed in Freestone.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-20th century, the property served as a plant nursery. The building, as well as the surrounding 22-acres, was purchased by Tom Golden and Jim Kidder in 1970. The building served as their private home. The home served as the "social headquarters" during the design and installation of the landmark installation art piece, Running Fence by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the Sonoma County Landmarks Commission designated the Hinds Hotel as a historic landmark. The Hinds Hotel is a part of the Freestone Historic District.</p><br>

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 23, 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Spence House was originally constructed near West College Street at an unknown date. It was moved to its current location at 503 North Maple Street in 1866 and became the residence of Elizabeth and John Cedric Spence. Elizabeth purchased the lot from their son-in-law, William Roulet and the house was in her name.</p><br>
<p>Spence was the owner of a grocery and hardware store, founder of the Cedar Bucket Manufactory in Rutherford County in 1854, and the author of the Annals of Rutherford County; 1829-1870.

The Browns divorced in 1940; Lucy acquired the house in the divorce settlement. She converted the house into apartments to have an income.</p><br>
<p>After an unsuccessful attempt to sell the house in 1970, Brown rented the house to the Middle Tennessee State University chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity from 1974 to 1981. Brown evicted the fraternity in 1981 because of its poor treatment of the house and property.</p><br>
<p>In June 1981, Brown sold the house to Molly and Roger Teague, her daughter and son-in-law. However, the property reverted to Brown in foreclosure in 1985.

It was the first Arts Council in the State of Oregon and Twenty-first in the United States.</p><br>
<h3>Historic building</h3><br>
<p>For its location, the organization selected the religious assembly hall originally built by the Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan. After the faith community moved to a different location in 1962, the site had been slated to become the location for a new temple for the Corvallis Elks Lodge. However, another location was eventually found for the lodge. In the meantime, the Arts Center gained access to the building on loan from the Corvallis chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks late in 1962.</p><br>
<p>The building is striking for Carpenter Gothic style, especially its roof truss system.</p><br>
<p>The center immediately began fundraising to pay for a remodeling of the hall interior, including new paint, carpeting, and furnishings. Additional funds were generated through the sale of $10 "patronages" to interested community members.</p><br>
<p>While the original lease of the building from the Corvallis Elks Club was a nominal $1 per year, maintenance and utility costs for the facility were pegged at approximately $15,000 per annum by the group&#39;s pro bono attorney, Robert Mix. Owing to the expense of the operation, suggestions were made as early as 1963 to place the facility under the umbrella of the Corvallis Parks and Recreation Department.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, the building was moved about one block north to its current location, Corvallis city property overlooking Central Park, to rest on a new concrete foundation.</p><br>
<p>In September 1971, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The center has remained in uninterrupted occupation of the facility for over half a century.</p><br>
<h3>Grand opening</h3><br>
<p>The grand opening of the Corvallis Arts Center took place on the weekend of January 26–27, 1963. Those displaying their works during the opening included graphic artist Junichiro Sekino (1914–1988) of Tokyo as well as a host of staff from the Art Department of Oregon State University. Local art groups including the Corvallis Weavers Guild and the Clay Clan, as well as other craftspeople, attended to demonstrate techniques, and a series of musical performances took place. Over 7,000 people from around Oregon visited the center over the weekend.</p><br>
