<p>The Bushnell-Dickinson House is a historic house at 170 Old Post Road in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. With a construction history dating to about 1790, it is a fine local example of Federal period residential architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bushnell-Dickinson House is located in a residential area in western Old Saybrook, on the south side of Old Post Road, between Meadowood Lane and the current alignment of the Boston Post Road (United States Route 1). It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by fluted pilasters and topped by a four-light transom window. Three shed-roof dormers project slightly from the steep face of the roof. The interior follows a typical center chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule with a window staircase, parlor and hall on either side of the chimney, and the kitchen at the rear, with small chambers in each of the rear corners. The interior retains original wide pine floors, paneled walls, wainscoting, and original door latches and mounting hardware.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1790 by Phineas Bushnell, descended from one of the areas early settlers. The house stands on what was, until about 1800, the main east–west road through Old Saybrook. The house remained in the hands of Bushnells descendants (who married into the locally politically prominent Dickinson family) until 1934. It was given a thorough but sympathetic restoration in 1958, which included the use of hand-forged reproduction hardware in some places.</p><br>

<p>The Court Square Historic District in Leitchfield, Kentucky was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The initial listing included 29 contributing buildings, including the 1935 Grayson County Courthouse, on 10 acre. The listing was expanded in 1988 to add two more contributing buildings and two contributing objects.</p><br>
<p>The increase included 106 & 104 N. Main, which include Late Victorian architecture, on 0.5 acre.</p><br>
<p>The increase included the Daniel O&#39;Riley House, at 104 N. Main St., and the Dr. Green House, at 106 N. Main. Dr. Joseph Theodore Green was a local physician. The Dr. Green House is a two-story T-plan house with decorative shingles and three gables having bargeboard trim, plus a one-story three-sided bay in the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The increase also revised the status of two buildings, designating the former Grayson County Courthouse (1935) as a contributing building as 50 years of age had passed, and similarly designating the Alice Theater and Alexander Hotel building (1935), known also as the Nichols Building.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse, which in 1987 held various government and community offices, is a "three-story-plus-attic cubical mass extended on the north and south by large but slightly shorter wings." It has a monumental stone portico with Corinthian pilasters, topped by a brick parapet and a round clock.</p><br>
<p>The district includes the Old Grayson County Jail (1934), 113 E. Main St., "an example of WPA Public Architecture. Classical in design elements (palladian window and pilasters) it has unusual and decorative brick and stone patterns on the front facade."</p><br>
<p>The Jack Thomas House, at 108 E. Main St. in Leitchfield, Kentucky was built in 1810. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>It has been known as the oldest brick house in Leitchfield, on the basis of its original one-story brick section which later served as a rear ell off the main block, built later. The main block is a two-story five-bay brick section, with its front door and window above having originally been in Palladian window format.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as The Gardner Place.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1812–14 by Jack Thomas, who eventually was clerk for Grayson County for 41 years. It was built with two rooms downstairs and a loft above. It was expanded in 1925 with rooms upstairs and downstairs. It was later owned by William Evans, who operated a general store. It was sold in 1884 to George H. ("Bent") Gardner, founder and president of the Leitchfield Deposit Bank.</p><br>
<p>Crutcher House, on Mulberry Pike in Eminence in Henry County, Kentucky, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>

<p>The Jacob Weber House is located in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by Jacob Weber, Postmaster of what was then Kilbourn City. Photographer H. H. Bennett bought the house in 1891 and his family lived there until 1971. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Patrick and Margaret Kinney House was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and it was built in 1951. The home is located in Lancaster, Wisconsin. The house was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2007 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Patrick Kinney and his wife, Margaret, built the house to raise their three children in. They hired Wright as the architect because Margaret had worked for Wright&#39;s sister, Jane Porter, while a college student. Patrick Kinney, a prominent lawyer, worked as the general contractor on the building in order to cut down on costs. Additionally, while Wright suggested the building should be made out of concrete blocks, the Kinneys decided on using stone. Every day Patrick Kinney "would be up at the crack of dawn and quarry two loads of stone and deliver them to the site... before heading off to court or the office."</p><br>
<p>The building is set on a grid of 30-and 60-degree equilateral parallelograms with the master bedroom as a hexagon at the head, with the childrens bedrooms coming off of it. It was originally designed with two, instead of three, childrens bedrooms because Wright misunderstood how many children the Kinneys had. Therefore, his apprentice, John H. "Jack" Howe, later enlarged the building.</p><br>

<p>The Story-Camp Rowhouses are a pair of identical rowhouses located at 1526–1528 W. Monroe Street in Chicago, Illinois. The rowhouses were built in 1870 by developers Matthew and George Laflin and Allen Loomis. At the time, the neighborhood around Union Park was being developed into an attractive residential area, and the Laflins and Loomis marketed their new houses to wealthy and prominent Chicagoans. The rowhouses have an Italianate design, a popular choice for the era, which features bracketed overhanging eaves and windows with rounded hoods. The houses&#39; first owners were Isaac and Flora Camp and Hampton and Marion Story; Isaac and Hampton owned the Story & Camp organ and piano business.</p><br>
<p>The rowhouses were added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Seth Warner House is a historic house located at 631 N. Central Avenue in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.

Gaither served as a surgeon in the War of 1812 and settled in Columbia by the end of that war. He served as a doctor and in politics: as an elected member of the Kentucky legislature from 1815 to 1818, and in the United States House of Representatives from 1829 to 1833.</p><br>
<p>The Crawford County Courthouse is located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse was built with dolomitic limestone quarried in Bridgeport, Wisconsin. The basement was originally a jail that likely predated the rest of the building. It was used as such until 1896, when a separate building was completed. The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The W.H.C. Folsom House is located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989. The house is one of two properties connected to Rolette to be listed, along with the Brisbois House.</p><br>
<p>The Francis Marian Ames Farmstead is located in Rutland, Wisconsin. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>In 1878 F.M. Ames bought this farmland from Samuel Axtell&#39;s estate. In 1892 he built the Queen Anne-styled house that stands today, two stories, clad mostly in clapboard. The gable ends contain diamond-shaped windows and are decorated with shingles, bargeboards and lattice-work at the peaks. The porches are decorated with spindlework. Some of the windows are leaded glass.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead also includes some outbuildings: a frame basement barn, a small animal shelter that was probably the lower level of another frame basement barn, and a garage that was probably used as horse and carriage barn.</p><br>
<p>The Bedrud–Olson Farmstead is a highly intact tobacco and dairy farm with surviving buildings built between 1856 and 1915 in Christiana, Dane County, Wisconsin. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>In 1844, Tosten Lieberson Bedrud and Christie Gunderson Vossolt settled this farmstead after immigrating from Norway. They settled at the center of a small Norwegian farming community west of Lake Koshkonong. Tosten and Christie first built a dugout house near the site of the current house. At first they grew food to feed themselves.</p><br>
<p>By 1856 they had added wheat-farming to their business and seven children to the family. In that year they replaced the sod house with a wooden house, which survives as the east ell of the current house. Tosten died in 1857. His son Hellick Tostenson bought the farm in 1874 and by 1877 it totaled 198 acres. (Note that these immigrants were so fresh that they named Hellick following the old Scandinavian system where his surname was his fathers name followed by son,&#39; rather than a family name.)</p><br>
<p>Starting around the time of the Civil War, the farm began shifting from wheat to dairy, expanding the herd of cows. In 1883 Hellick built the current barn, with a limestone basement wall and cedar board and batten walls above. The barn had modern features for the time: two interior wood-stave silos, built in the year that the UW College of Agriculture first recommended silos for winter feeding. The barn also had calving pens, a gravity-driven water system, a manure disposal system, and ventilators. Those features remain largely unchanged, and were used into the 1960s. Also in 1883, the north-south ell of the house was added to make space for another family hired to help work the farm.</p><br>
<p>In 1889 Hellick&#39;s sister Anna and her husband Anton Olson, another Norwegian immigrant, bought the farm. By this time tobacco production was becoming a significant part of the business, with about 15 acres in cultivation - the broad-leafed variety used for cigar wrappers that is commonly grown around Dane County. In 1890 they built what is now the northernmost tobacco-curing shed near the field north of the buildings. Every third board on the side is hinged, which let the farmer control the amount of air reaching the curing leaves hanging inside. Two other old curing sheds were moved nearby in 1906 and 1908. A stripping shed was built nearby in 1910, where the workers stripped the cured leaves from the stalks and packed them into crates to be sold.</p><br>
<p>Henry and Martin Olson, sons of Anton and Anna, bought the farm in 1918, and farmed there into the 1970s. The old brothers changed the farm very little over the years. Other combination dairy/tobacco farms remain in the area, but this one is different in that it retains a full set of buildings from the late 1800s/early 1900s without newer buildings added.</p><br>
<p>The Agricultural Heating Station  is a historic heating plant built in 1901 on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. In 1985 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The UWs College of Agriculture was started in 1889, with early emphases on research and extending information to farmers outside academia. Some of the colleges first buildings were designed by architect John T. Jennings, including the 1893 Horticulture and Agricultural Physics building, the 1897 Dairy Barn, and the 1899 Horse Barn. In 1899, Jennings became Supervising Architect of the UW.</p><br>
<p>In 1901 the college built this heating station. Rather than a drab utilitarian structure, Jennings designed the plant in the exuberant Richardsonian Romanesque style that was popular at the time. Hallmarks of the style present in the building are the dramatic asymmetric chimney and the round-topped arches above the first floor windows. The building sits on a foundation of coursed sandstone. From there rise walls of cream brick, contrasted with red brick trim and quoins. The second story is ringed with a band of windows. A hip roof covers the building, clad in red clay tile. The chimney is octagonal, topped with a corbelled chimney pot.</p><br>
<p>The heating plant provided heat for only about ten years. After that steam and gas engines remained on the first floor, with a machine shop for students upstairs. Starting around 1937 the building was used by the College of Agriculture and Co-op Extension to store and mail out their publications - hence the later name Agricultural Bulletin Building.</p><br>
<p>The American Tobacco Company Warehouses Complex is a pair of brick warehouses built around 1900 in Madison, Wisconsin. They are now the two most intact remnants of Madison&#39;s tobacco industry, and were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Tobacco was commercially grown in Wisconsin starting in the 1850s. Cultivation here expanded during the Civil War when many of the states that were big tobacco-producers seceded, but demand for Wisconsin tobacco continued after the war, mainly for the leaf tobacco used for cigar wrappers. One region of cultivation spanned southern Dane County and into Rock and Jefferson counties. The areas first tobacco warehouse was built in 1869 in Edgerton by New Yorks Schroder and Bond Co.</p><br>
<p>Madison was a good spot for processing tobacco because of its rail connections and because it was in the Dane and Rock County tobacco-growing region. Several firms started packing leaf tobacco in Madison about 1880: Klauber & Kohner, Mr. H. Grove, and Sutter Brothers. Later came Barnard & Wilder, F.S. Bains, Pelton & Klauber, and A. Cohn & Co. of New York.</p><br>
<p>The American Tobacco Company had roots in 1874 North Carolina, where Confederate veteran Washington Duke and his sons started a tobacco-processing factory. W. Duke, Sons & Co. prospered and through a series of purchases and mergers sometimes called the "cigarette war," by 1890 had gained control of most of the American tobacco industry, naming their trust the American Tobacco Company. In 1899 American Tobacco bought a million dollars worth of tobacco in Edgerton and two weeks later, announced that it would establish an agency and build a warehouse in Madison.</p><br>
<h2>Warehouses in Madison</h2><br>
<p>Shortly, the first warehouse began to take shape. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad sold American Tobacco a strip of land along its track at Doty Street, which was then called Clymer St., in a mixed neighborhood small houses, industrial buildings, and coal yards. That 1899 east building was built by contractor T.C. McCarthy, with a 52 by 126-foot footprint on a raised foundation of rock-faced granite blocks. Above that the walls are cream brick. Windows of the second and third stories are topped with segmental brick arches. The northwest end is topped with a stepped parapet with corbelled brickwork, shown in the photo. The sides of the building were broken by loading doors facing the railroad spurs that ran alongside. Inside the 1899 building each level was a single large room, except the first story had two small rooms partitioned off on the north end - an office and a sample room.</p><br>
<p>The general functions of the warehouse were to receive tobacco from the supplier, then cut, sort and pack the tobacco, and store the cases of tobacco until they could be shipped.</p><br>
<p>In March 1900 the Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter described early operations at the warehouse:</p><br>
<p>The American Tobacco company presents a busy scene in West Madison on the St. Paul tracks opposite the Findlay warehouse. Here, under Mr. Strauss, 87 girls are employed with a total of 100 persons assorting tobacco. These girls receive from $5 to $10 a week for their work and the new industry is making the local servant girl problems more difficult than ever. The tobacco comes in from Dane and adjoining counties in bunches, and the business of the girls is to sort it according to length.</p><br>
<p>American Tobacco must have been satisfied with the 1899 building because in 1900 they extended it 150 feet on the south end from 126 to 276 feet. This section&#39;s design is similar to the original building, except the walls are six feet taller.</p><br>
<p>The Madison Democrat from January 1901 provides another peek back in time:</p><br>
<p>While it is true that the bulk of the employment is given to women and girls, the heavier work falls to the men, and in some warehouses they, too are employed as sorters. Men can make good wages at that work if they are deft enough with their fingers. There is also a vast change in the sanitary conditions of the warehouses of today as compared with those of years ago. The mammoth structure of the American Tobacco company at West Madison is an instance in point. The large sorting room 50 feet by 272 feet is divided into two sections, one of which is occupied by men and boys, the other is assigned to women and girls. These, as well as the whole three story building, are steam heated, electric lighted, and comfortable in every respect. Sewerage and city water are a feature of the equipment.</p><br>
<p>Of the numerous warehouses in the city the one of the American Tobacco company is the most pretentious. Here work began Dec. 17 with almost 350 hands on the pay roll, the relative proportion being about half and half. Some of the women sorters make as high as $1.50 per day. Last year the work lasted until the middle of May, thus making the industry, if such it may be called, one of much importance to that section of the city. The supply of tobacco comes in by rail and from near by points by wagon.</p><br>
<p>A second warehouse with a larger footprint was added to the west in 1901 - 68 by 309 feet and one story tall. The style was similar to the east building but it was only one story, with no basement underneath. It was an early design of Claude & Starck, who would go on to design many homes in Madison and libraries around Wisconsin. Again, T.C. McCarthy was the mason. J.H. Findorff did the carpentry work.</p><br>
<p>In 1911 the American Tobacco Company was found to be in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and was split into competing companies American Tobacco, R.J. Reynolds, Lorillard, and others. Lorillard ended up buying the warehouse complex in Madison, and its name was long painted across the end of the 1901 building.</p><br>
<p>As smokers shifted from cigars to cigarettes, American Tobacco introduced its successful cigarette Lucky Strike in 1916 and later Pall Mall. But with the decline of cigars, demand dropped for Wisconsin tobacco, since cigarettes are wrapped in paper - not leaf tobacco. Other tobacco warehouses around Madison closed, but this complex continued operation until about 1939. After it closed, J.H. Findorff & Son used the buildings for storage. More recently, they have been converted into apartments and called the Tobacco Lofts.</p><br>
<p>The warehouses were placed on the NRHP in 2003 because they are the best intact representatives of the once-important tobacco industry in Madison.</p><br>
<p>Holy Name Seminary is a former Catholic high school seminary begun in the 1960s on the west side of Madison, Wisconsin. In 2015 the seminary building and some associated structures were added to the National Register of Historic Places as an excellent example of the Neo-Colonial Revival architecture style.</p><br>
<p>The building currently houses offices for the Diocese of Madison as well as an apartment community named Holy Name Heights.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the years before 1946 the Catholic Church organized itself in Wisconsin into four dioceses. In that year, to accommodate growing population, it split a fifth diocese out of the Milwaukee and La Crosse dioceses: the Diocese of Madison. The number of young men considering the priesthood also greatly increased and in 1962 Bishop William P. O&#39;Connor announced that the Madison diocese would start a new seminary. Fund-raising commenced, and by 1964 $4 million was raised.</p><br>
<p>The diocese&#39;s building commission hired Krueger, Kraft and Associates of Madison to design the main building, pictured, and construction began in 1963. It stands 3-stories, clad in red brick, with a tall central spire. The style is Neo-Colonial Revival, mixing modern elements like the multi-pane metal casement windows and the modern interior with classical elements from Colonial Revival style: the symmetry, the front portico with two-story fluted columns supporting a pedimented gable, the brick quoins at the corners. The steeple rises above the entrance, with a square brick tower leading to a wooden belfry, then an octagonal lantern and an octagonal spire topped with a cross. The main building has a B-shaped footprint, with enclosed courtyards in the lobes of the B. Inside, the central section contained common areas - the chapel, dining, gym, pool and library. The east side originally contained the high school facilities and the west side the college facilities. The building had 800 rooms!</p><br>
<p>A brick convent building for the Sisters of Charity was built south of the main building at the same time - 1.5 stories on a raised basement, clad in red brick with corner quoins and half-round windows that match the style of the main building. A garage, concession building and athletic fields were also built at the same time, and all are considered contributing to the NRHP nomination.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination observes, "Although the Colonial Revival style of architecture had historically been associated more with Protestant churches than with the Catholic Church, in the years following World War II the Catholic Church in the United States seemed eager to establish an American identity. Gothic Revival churches, with stone exteriors and stained glass windows, were also increasingly expensive to construct. Thus, nationally in the post-war period, many Catholic parishes embraced the Colonial Revival for their new building campaigns."</p><br>
<p>The first students arrived in September 1964. The school had space for 264 high school students, 122 college students, and 23 faculty. Holy Name was a minor seminary, which meant that a young man considering the priesthood could attend high school in a boarding facility. The high school at Holy Name was also open to boys headed for college and not the priesthood, as long as they abided by the rules. After four years of high school, the seminarian could continue at Holy Name for two years of junior college. At the end of that, if he was approved and chose to continue toward priesthood, he could continue at a major seminary, where he would study philosophy for two years and then continue to four years of divinity school.</p><br>
<p>Enrollment dipped in the 1970s and the college classes were dropped in 1975. In 1995 Bishop Bullock closed the high school, citing a lack of priests to run it.</p><br>
<p>The complex was converted into a pastoral center in 1998 and became known as the Bishop O&#39;Connor Catholic Pastoral Center and has since then housed a number of Catholic organizations, including Catholic Charities and Relevant Radio. In 2015, it underwent a $23 million renovation, with a portion of the building being converted into a residential community of 53 apartments named Holy Name Heights.</p><br>
<p>The seminary&#39;s chapel had never had an organ until after 2017, when a 1,187-pipe Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ was restored and installed in an 18-month project.</p><br>
<p>The Gillespie Street-Clinton River Bridge is a bridge carrying Gillespie Street over the Clinton River in Pontiac, Michigan. It is a relatively early example of a rigid-frame bridge in Michigan. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This bridge was apparently the first at this location. In 1936, the city of Pontiac deepened the Clinton River and extended Gillespie Street. They contracted with consulting engineer Harold Hawley Corson to design this bridge, who was serving as Birmingham&#39;s city engineer after a stint with the Michigan State Highway Department. Corson designed this rigid frame bridge, then a relatively new type of bridge which had been introduced in Michigan in the early 1930s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gillespie Street bridge is a rigid-frame bridge with shallow spandrels ornamented with recessed panels. The bridge is 34 feet long, spanning a 33-foot-wide channel, and 50.5 feet wide. The railings are simple metal panels, ending in chain link fencing. The roadway is 36.5 feet wide, with sidewalks on each side.</p><br>
<p>The Derby Street-Grand Trunk Western Railroad Bridge is a bridge carrying Derby Street over the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in Birmingham, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1910s, there was significant pressure to upgrade Woodward Avenue, a major artery carrying traffic from Detroit to Pontiac. In response, the road commissions of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties and the affected municipalities created a regional master plan for improvements. In 1923, the state agreed to share in some of the cost of improving the infrastructure. The state led the effort to secure a right-of-way along the Woodward corridor; one of the major impediments was the existence of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad track paralleling Woodward.</p><br>
<p>After protracted legal wrangling, the railroad and the state came to an agreement, and the tracks were shifted to a new location. As part of the new construction, a series of bridges were designed by the railroad to carry street over the new tracks. Sixteen bridges, including this one carrying Derby Street, were built by A. Guthrie & Company of St. Paul, Minnesota in 1930. The bridge was extensively renovated in 1980, and still carries traffic.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Derby Street Bridge is a five-span concrete T-beam bridge. It is 165 feet long with a 43.2-foot wide deck. It carries a 29.8-foot-wide roadway. The railings are solid concrete, ornamented with three recessed panels per span and curving outward at each end. The construction date, "1930," is inscribed in the concrete near the ends of the railings. The abutments, wing walls, and piers are all of concrete construction.</p><br>
<p>The Trowbridge Road-Grand Trunk Western Railroad Bridge was a bridge carrying Trowbridge Road over the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 and removed in 2023.</p><br>

<p>The bridge was closed in 2017, and as of 2019 was slated for demolition. The bridge was later demolished, and subsequently removed from the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Trowbridge Road bridge was a seven span, concrete T-beam structure. It was 231 feet long, with a 44-foot-wide deck carrying a 30-foot-wide roadway. It had false concrete arches with recessed panels in the spandrels. The railings were solid concrete parapets with paneled concrete posts and three recessed rectangular panels between each. The date "1930" was chiseled into the parapets at each end. The ends curved out before terminating in concrete posts, and chain-link fencing lined the inside of the railing.</p><br>
<p>The Jack County Courthouse, at 100 N. Main St. in Jacksboro, Texas, was completed in 1940. It was designed in 1939 by Wichita Falls architects Voelker & Dixon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story building with basement, and has "remarkable" integrity according to its 2012 NRHP nomination, which states its "cast-in-place concrete structure is sheathed in Texas limestone with marble spandrels. The building is modernistic in its block massing and stylized details, and stands as a rich example of the Modem Classical Style, a contemporary interpretation of classical design, with fluted pilasters separating recessed vertically ranked window and spandrel bays, and an entablature with low relief sculpture. The rich interior spaces and finishes are largely intact, including the original decorative light fixtures, stone and wood paneled wall veneers, decorative moldings, door hardware, duct covers, and aluminum cashier window screens. The courthouse exterior and interior retain a very high degree of architectural integrity."</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is the fourth courthouse building to have served the county. It replaced an 1885 courthouse. The first courthouse was established in 1858 in an already-existing wooden building on the west side of the Jacksboro town square, which was remodeled at cost of $800.</p><br>
<p>The North Milford Village Historic District is a historic district located in Milford, Michigan, including the commercial area along Main Street from the Huron River to Summit, industrial areas around the mill ponds west of Main, and residential areas east of Main. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Milford was first settled in 1832, when Elizur and Stanley Ruggles established a sawmill here. The Ruggles sold to Stephen and John Armstrong in 1836, and the Armstrongs added a gristmill in 1839. North Milford Village was platted in 1838 by Aaron Phelps, who also dammed Pettibone Creek to create the still extant millponds. However, by the early 1840s Phelps ran into financial difficulties and sold out to the Hebbard brothers, who established an industrial park in North Milford. Soon a number of mills were located along Pettibone Creek, along with other industrial operations.</p><br>
<p>As industry grew, so did the commercial ventures along Main Street, and the residential section of town grew to house the new residents of Milford. The railroad came through Milford in 1871, causing a building boom both in the industrial and commercial enterprises now provided with an easy mode of transport. The majority of the commercial structures in Milford were built between 1872 and 1898. New stores included taverns, lumber yards, grocers and dry goods stores, drug stores, tailors, restaurants, and more. The residential section of town also expanded greatly, with Victorian houses joining the previous Greek Revival structures. New larger church buildings were also constructed.</p><br>
<p>In the twentieth century, the rise of the automobile brought new auto-related businesses. These included service stations, but also a new Ford Motor Company plant on the mill pond, and General Motors&#39; Milford proving grounds outside of town. Newer houses were constructed to meet the needs of the influx of workers. In the period after World War II, Milford has avoided the urban renewal process, leaving a healthy cross-section of historical structures within the district intact.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The North Milford Village Historic District consists of a three-block section of commercial buildings along Milford&#39;s North Main Street, along with adjacent residential areas along five east-west streets and six north-south streets, and the two historic mill ponds along Pettibone Creek. The district contains 312 structures, 255 of which contribute to the historical character of the district. The commercial district includes two- and three-story buildings primarily of brick and concrete block, in Italianate, Commercial brick, Tudor Revival, and Art Deco styles. The residential portion of the district contains wood frame, stone, concrete block and brick houses in a range of architectural styles, including Greek Revival, Italianate, Victorian Gothic, Late Victorian, Second Empire, Queen Anne, Stick, Chateauesque, Vernacular, Tudor Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Bungalow, Craftsman, English style and Cape Cod. The district also contains four historic churches.</p><br>
<p>The Bath Avenue Historic District, in Ashland, Kentucky, is a 15 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It included 26 contributing buildings and two contributing objects.</p><br>
<p>It is a four-block section of Bath Avenue, running from 13th to 17th Streets, out of a six-block stretch which "has been considered to be the city&#39;s most prestigious residential neighborhood."</p><br>
<p>Gorman Heritage Farm is a working, educational, non-profit farm on 122 acre in Evendale, Ohio, United States. The farm consists of 30 acre, a farmyard, gardens, 5 mi of hiking trails, and a wildflower preserve. The farm raises livestock, grows produce and flowers, and produces biochar. The farm is operated by the non-profit Gorman Heritage Farm Foundation, whose mission is to educate visitors about agriculture, nutrition, sustainability, and the environment. The farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Brown–Gorman Farm.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The farm resides on the ancestral lands of the Shawandasse Tula, Miaamia, Osage, and Kaskaskia peoples, Hopewell Culture and Adena Culture, who lived on and cared for this land since time immemorial. The farm as it now stands was started by Edward Brown, an immigrant from Scotland, who built the main barn in 1835 and later moved to Illinois. His cousin, George Brown, took over the farm. It was eventually handed down to Jim and Dorothy Gorman in 1943.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, the Cincinnati Nature Center took ownership of the farm and converted it into an outdoor educational facility. The main barn was turned into an interpretive center. The Nature Center turned the farm over to the Village of Evendale, which established the Gorman Heritage Farm Foundation. In 2012, the entire farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Brown–Gorman Farm, owing to its historically significant architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Western Knitting Mills is a former industrial building located at 400 Water Street in Rochester, Michigan. The building has been renovated to serve commercial tenants, including Rochester Mills Beer Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1844, Hosea B. Richardson built a wool carding and cloth-dressing mill at this location. This original building was destroyed by fire in 1867. A new building, the Rochester Woolen Mill, was constructed soon after, and purchased by Hoseas son Samuel Richardson, who owned the Western Knitting Works in Detroit. This new plant produced woolen goods until it too was destroyed by fire in 1882. In 1891, stockholders in the Western Knitting Works bought out Richardson, reorganized it, and changed the name to Western Knitting Mills Inc. They moved the companys headquarters to Rochester, and built another mill in Middleville, Michigan. In 1896, the company began construction of this plant in Rochester.</p><br>
<p>The original 1896 plant was constructed in a U-shape, and included a three-story watchtower on one corner, which for use by the village as a night fire watchtower. The mill measures 60,000 square feet, and had its own hydro generating station, two large warehouses and two dormitories on site, as well as a railroad spur directly onto the property. The mill made knitted wool socks, gloves and mittens until 1916, when it began making wool cloth. At some point the U-shaped factory was filled in to make a square, and in 1916 an addition was constructed to handle the cloth making. During World War I, the government commissioned the factory to make khaki gloves for USA soldiers.</p><br>
<p>However, after the war, business began to decline, and the mill closed in 1927. In 1929, the Bradley Knitting Company of Wisconsin purchased the factory to produce yarn and knitted cloth, but the onset of the Great Depression forced the mill to close again in 1931. It reopened briefly in 1933, but soon closed again permanently. After that, several other companies used the factory beginning in the 1940s, including McAleer Manufacturing Company, Higbie Manufacturing, Avon Tube and ITT-Higbie. The last manufacturer, ITT-Higbie, closed the plant in 1993 and sold it to private owners in 1997, who renovated it for commercial use. During and previous to the renovation, the other buildings on the property were demolished, leaving only the 1896 mill in place.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Western Knitting Mills factory is a two-story, brick late nineteenth-century mill building with a square plan. The building measures 140 feet by 150 feet. The building has a built-up roof and a fieldstone foundation with a basement. The building is eight bays wide on each original elevation, with bays separated by brick pilasters projecting from the building. The north elevation, originally the interior of the U shape, has three bays on each side of the former courtyard. Each bay contains two windows set in flat arched openings. The windowsills and parapet caps are of stone. The main entry fronts into what is now a parking lot, and is topped with a high parapet and a carved name block which make it a visual focal point.</p><br>
<p>A three-story fire tower is located on one corner of the building. The original tower was demolished in the early 1900s, but it was reconstructed during the 1997-98 renovation of the building. The tower has a hipped roof with dormers on each side.</p><br>
<p>The Holly Union Depot is a former train station located at 223 South Broad Street in Holly, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It sits at the junction of tracks which are now owned by CSX Transportation and Canadian National Railway.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Saw and grist mills were established in what is now Holly in 1843 and 1844, and a village slowly grew up around them. However, real growth only began with the arrival of the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway (later the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway and now part of the Canadian National Railway) in 1855. The D & M Railway constructed a small wooden depot, and soon replaced it with a better one. In 1864, a second railroad line, the Flint and Holly Railroad (now part of the CSX Saginaw Subdivision), was completed into Holly. The two rail lines co-operated to build a union depot to serve both lines, located at the site of the present depot. This wooden depot burned in 1884.</p><br>
<p>The two railways created temporary space for passengers in their freight sheds, and in September 1885 contracted with Heitsch and Son of Pontiac to construct a new depot and baggage room. Construction began in October and was complete in February 1886. The depot served passengers on the two lines and their successors until 1964, when the Grand Trunk Western Railroad ceased passenger operations through Holly. It was later used as storage by the railroad, and in 1998 the village of Holly purchased the building. It has since been restored. As of 2018, the depot may be moved to another location.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Holly Union Depot is a long, single story cross-gable-roof structure made from reddish-orange and yellow-buff brick on a stone foundation. It has broadly overhanging eaves supported by open triangular timber brackets. Gabled projections are on each long side; these once contained separate ticket offices for the two railways. A rectangular carved</p><br>
<p>stone plaque is set into the facade of each projection, containing the town name, HOLLY, in raised capital letters. The building is eighty-two feet ten inches long and twenty-two feet four inches wide.</p><br>
<p>Hunters Bottom Historic District is a 2,810 acre historic district in Kentuckys Carroll and Trimble counties, spanning the area known as Hunter&#39;s Bottom. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The listing included 21 contributing buildings and a contributing site.</p><br>
<p>Hunter&#39;s Bottom runs seven miles along the Ohio River, with the river forming the north boundary, and with the base of hills forming</p><br>
<p>the south boundary. The district stops on the east at Locust Creek in Carroll County, and on the west at Canip Creek in</p><br>
<p>Trimble County.</p><br>
<p>Boone Creek Rural Historic District, about 11 miles southeast of Lexington, Kentucky, is a 4,060 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It included 88 contributing buildings, 55 contributing structures, and 25 contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>The district spans the border between western Clark County and eastern Fayette County. It is roughly bounded by Interstate 75, Cleveland Rd., Athens-Boonesboro Rd. and Grimes Rd.</p><br>
<p>It includes three places already separately listed on the National Register:</p><br>
<p>Cleveland-Rogers House</p><br>
<p>Grimes House and Mill Complex</p><br>
<p>James Pettit&#39;s Mill</p><br>
<p>It is described in its NRHP nomination as "a distinctive blend of natural and human-made landscapes which reflects a different development pattern from that found in other sections of Fayette County. The district includes a density of historic farmsteads and early-to-late-nineteenth century features whose spatial organization is very influenced by the desiccated landforms around it. This contrasts with the rest of rural Fayette County, which has been more intensively developed, especially for horse farms, and is much more regular topographically. The quality of the Boone Creek Rural Historic District is still good despite the number of buildings considered non-contributing by virtue of their modern construction dates. Of the non-contributing buildings, 38 are modern barns and 45 are modern dwellings. The new development in the district tends to perpetuate the traditional patterns in land use, choice of building sites, and scale."</p><br>
<p>The Murphy Hotel, also known as the Neely House, is a historical hotel in Jackson, Tennessee, USA It was designed in the Neoclassical architectural style and is the city&#39;s only remaining railroad hotel erection. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 11, 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original hotel structure was constructed as early as 1900 by hotelier Franklin B. Neely and was known as the Neely House. After the completion of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Passenger Depot in 1907, Neely promoted his business by meeting arriving trains and passing out coffee and sandwiches. By 1911, Neely&#39;s increased business allowed him to demolish his original two-story frame dwelling structure and build a new brick hotel that featured new amenities such as hot and cold running water in each room.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was operated by the Neely family until 1946, when it was sold to Robert J. Murphy, a farmer, who operated the business under the name The Murphy Hotel. It was then sold to the city with plans to turn the property into a children&#39;s museum. In 2003, a tornado caused further damage to the building and completely destroyed its two-story front porch and deck. The damages led to the city choosing a different location for the museum. In 2005, Hal Crocker of Crocker Construction Company acquired the property and restored the building. It is now home to several businesses, including a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The Deberry-Hurt House is a historic house in Madison County, Tennessee, USA. It was built for Mathias Deberry in 1823. It was expanded by his son-in-law, Robert B. Hurt, in 1855. By 1922, it belonged to Hurt&#39;s granddaughter, Elizabeth Hurt Leeper.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Federal architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 8, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Mattie Beal House is a historic house in Lawton, Oklahoma, USA. It was built in 1907-09 for Charles Warren Payne and his wife, Martha Helen Beal. It was acquired by the Lawton Heritage Association in 1973. It was designed in the Colonial Revival architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 19, 1975.</p><br>
<p>Martha Helen Beal won the second draw in the 1901 land lottery of former Kiowa-Comanche-Apache reservation lands, which led to worldwide news coverage: "Miss Mattie Beale, beautiful, blue-eyed, young telephone operator from Wichita, Kansas, draws claim number 2 in Kiowa-Comanche land opening... That story in the Kansas City Journal was echoed, with pictures, in newspapers everywhere. Among the more than 500 letters proposing marriage were several from English nobility who&#39;d read her story in the London Times.</p><br>
<p>The house has a porte-cochere and a two-story "barn/garage/servants quarters structure".</p><br>
<p>The Mahoney–Clark House is a historic house in Lawton, Oklahoma. It was built in 1909 for Johanna Mahoney, the wife of John C. Mahoney. It was inherited by their daughter Loretta and her husband, Philip Henry Clark, in 1911. It was later acquired by the Lawton Heritage Association.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Spanish Revival architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 8, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Botsford-Graser House is a single-family home located at 24105 Locust Drive in Farmington Hills, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The house is significant in part as the home of Earle Graser, the voice of the Lone Ranger for some 13,000 performances on radio, and is also known as The Lone Ranger&#39;s House.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Orville Botsford was born in Wayne County, New York in 1821 and settled in Farmington with his parents in 1836. Botsford purchased the property where this house is located in 1843. Botsford built this house in approximately 1860. The Botsford family owned the house until 1915.</p><br>
<p>In approximately 1939, Earle Graser and his wife Jeane moved into the house. The Grasers carried out significant rebuilding of the house. They were apparently in the process of purchasing it when Earle Graser was killed in a traffic accident in 1941.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Botsford-Graser House is a two-story house of mixed Greek Revival and Colonial Revival style. It has a clapboarded exterior. The house is visually divided into two rectangular sections. The first, smaller sections fronts on the street, and is a gable-roofed Greek Revival section, with a broad frieze and classical cornices with returns. A larger section to the rear is also gable-roofed, but with the roof ridge perpendicular to the front section. This section is more Colonial Revival in design, but contains simplified Greek Revival elements. Windows in both sections are double-hung, six-over-six units.</p><br>
