<p>The Axford-Coffin Farm, also known as Cranberry Lake Farm, is a farmstead located at 384-388 West Predmore Road in Oakland Charter Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Axford purchased this farmstead in 1837, and likely constructed the original frame house at some point in the 1840s. Jacob Kline purchased the farm in 1848, and Kline family continued to own it until 1925. During this time, the farm was likely used to raise dairy cows and fowl. The farm went through multiple owners over the next 15 years, including going through foreclosure in 1929-31. In 1939, Detroit businessman (and later US Congressman) Howard A. Coffin and his wife Abbie purchased the farm and converted it into a country estate.</p><br>
<p>The Coffins altered and added to the farmstead, creating their estate. It is possible that dairy operations on the farm continued during this time. In 1951, the Coffins sold the property to George H. and Guitenna Williamson. The Williamsons lived in California, and let out the house and farm for a series of uses, including cattle farming, as a group home, house farming, and as a commune.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, Oakland Charter Township purchased the property, establishing it as "Cranberry Lake Park." The section containing the farmstead was separately designated "Cranberry Lake Farm."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Cranberry Lake Farm is a roughly 16.5 acre parcel within the 167 acre Cranberry Lake Park, which encompasses the entirety of the former Coffin farm property. The farmstead is reached by a gravel drive looping from what is now a parking lot around behind the house and back to the road. The site includes the original farmhouse within the gravel drive loop, and four major outbuildings behind it: a caretaker&#39;s house, greenhouse, carriage house, and springhouse. Behind these are two more small outbuildings, and to the west are a silo and the remains of a barn.</p><br>
<p>The house is a Greek Revival structure, originally built in the 1840s and modernized in the 1930s and 40s. It was originally an upright-and-wing form, and various additions have expanded its footprint. It has a fieldstone foundation, fieldstone chimneys, and wood clapboard siding.</p><br>
<p>The Walter P. and May Wolf Reuther House is a single-family home located at 3924-3950-3954 Ellamae in Oakland Township near Rochester, Michigan. The house was built for Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers union, and his wife. They lived here from 1951 until their deaths in 1970. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1951, Walter and May Reuther located these lots, intending to develop them into a summer house for the family. They stayed in a small house on the site that summer, but by the end of the summer decided to stay here permanently. Reuther consulted with architect and family friend Oscar Stonorov, and the two men collaborated on a design for a ranch-style house on the property. It was soon built and the family moved in, settling permanently here in 1953. Reuther tinkered with the design of the house over the years, adding onto it., and later built a guest house to host visiting diplomats.</p><br>
<p>The Reuthers lived in this house until their deaths in a plane crash, together with Oscar Stonorov, on May 9, 1970. The complex was sold by their heirs in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Walter P. and May Wolf Reuther House sits on three adjacent lots with the winding Paint Creek running through the property. The grounds contain three buildings: the modern wood-sided main house with stone chimneys near the creek, a soaring modern wood and glass-walled guest house also near the creek, and a modern ranch style guard house close to the road.</p><br>
<p>The main house is located within a bow of Paint Creek, and is approached by narrow wooden walking bridges over the water. It is a one-story building, clad with vertical redwood planks painted dark brown and sitting on a concrete block foundation. A two-story addition is connected to the center of the building, under which is a small enclosed entry portico. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over Paint Creek, and a large stone chimney extends to one side.</p><br>
<p>The guest house is a two-story wooden modern style building with a low pitched sloping roof and a wooden deck that extends over Paint Creek. It has vertical wooden siding of the same material and color as in the main house. The elevation overlooking the creek is almost all glass.</p><br>
<p>The guard house is a rectangular, ranch-style house with low-pitched sloping roof standing on a high knoll.</p><br>

<p>The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park is an American registered national historic landmark, built in the early 19th century by Juan Bandini and later purchased by Albert Seeley to serve as a stagecoach hotel. In 2010, restorations and added fine dining restaurant revived the hotel to its 1870s charm, making it again a focal point of the original downtown area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant was originally built between 1827 and 1829 as a one floor Spanish colonial style home for cattle rancher Don Juan Bandini. In the 1850s Bandini sold his home, and by 1869 it was restored and extended with a second floor into a stagecoach stop and hotel under the direction of Albert Seeley.</p><br>
<p>Seeley a stage master, converted the old adobe into an L-shaped Greek Revival hotel. He renovated the original first story, and added a wood framed second story and balconies. The hotel prospered as a stagecoach stop offering 20 rooms for a layover between Los Angeles and San Diego. By 1888, Seeley sold the hotel due to a major shift in railroad use and a rising downtown Gaslamp Quarter. In the following years it was used as an olive factory.</p><br>
<h3>"The Miramar"</h3><br>
<p>In 1928 Don Juan Bandini&#39;s grandson, Cave J. Couts Jr., son of Lieutenant Cave J. Couts, bought the property in order to restore it as a memorial to his mother Ysidora Bandini de Couts. Couts remodeled the residence in Steamboat Revival architecture style. By 1930 the building was wired for electricity, and gas. Cave J. Couts Jr. renames the building as, "The Miramar," hotel and restaurant.</p><br>
<h3>The Miramar is sold to the State of California</h3><br>
<p>In 1945 James H. and Nora Cardwell purchased the Bandini property. During the 1950s their son Frank renovated the building into an upscale tourist motel. The Cardwells eventually sold the property to the state of California in 1968, the same year Old Town became a state historic park. The State of California and concessionaire Chef and restaurant owner Joseph Melluso came to an operating agreement. Under agreement the Hotel would receive necessary historical excavation, and restoration to the time period of the Cosmopolitan Hotel.union tribune "Casa de Bandini still under fire repair"Jim Okerblom Staff Writer</p><br>

<h3>Reopening</h3><br>
<p>The Cosmopolitan reopened for business as a Hotel and Restaurant July 21, 2010 after massive restorations to revitalize it to its 1870s grandeur. By August 2011 Owner Joseph Melluso had sold a majority of ownership over to Catherine Miller. In July 2013, the Cosmo was taken over by Old Town Family Hospitality Corp. Owner and President Chuck Ross, who also operates two restaurants in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park – Casa de Reyes and Barra Barra Saloon.</p><br>
<h2>Original features</h2><br>
<p>Don Juan Bandini built his single story, thatched roof adobe between 1827 and 1829 on Old Town, San Diego, plaza&#39;s southeast corner. The original structure had seven rooms, an entrance-way, and enclosed courtyard, a corral, and several sheds. The Casa de Juan Bandini had features of Spanish Colonial architecture usually found only in California missions. During the 1840s, he added several enhancements such as pane-glass windows, a brick-lined patio with well, and a small, bathhouse to entice his daughters to visit his wife Refugio and him more frequently.</p><br>

<p>The Eli and Sidney Teeter Albertson House is a single family home located at 4480 Sheldon Road in Oakland Charter Township, Michigan. It is a rare Victorian example of an I-house in Oakland Township. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1833, Martin Coleman purchased this parcel of land, likely building a small house and barn on the property soon afterward. In 1845, Coleman transferred 80 acres, including the house and barn, to Zenas Coleman, probably his son. In 1856, Zenas Coleman sold their 80 acres to Eli Albertson and his wife, Sidney Teeter Albertson. The Albertsons made extensive improvements to the property, including constructing a substantial main house as an addition to the already extant smaller house.</p><br>
<p>Eli Albertson died in 1882, and the farm eventually passed to his youngest daughter Carrie May and her husband Harvey Crissman. The Crissmans planted apple orchards on the property. In 1949, most of the 80 acre farm was platted into a subdivision, and the ownership of the house passed out of the family.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Albertson House is a two-story rectangular, side-gabled building five bays wide, on a fieldstone foundation. The house is likely timber-framed rather than balloon-framed. It has clapboard siding, decorative wood trim, and an asphalt-shingled roof. A string of connected additions runs to one side, and a bay window projects from one wall. The main facade is symmetrical, with a central front gable, a large window in the second story below, and a one-story entry porch on the first floor. The central entry axis is flanked on both floors with double-hung, two-over-two windows of equal size.</p><br>
<p>Decorative wood trim accents the house, including stickwork support posts on the entry porch, with panels between the sticks displaying hearts, circles, and teardrops. Pedimented hoods with decorative trim are above the windows, and paired brackets run along the cornice line.</p><br>
<p>The Indian Lake Road Stone Arch Bridge is a former railroad bridge which now carries a hiking/biking path over Indian Lake Road, just east of M-24 near Orion, Michigan. It is one of only a small number of stone arch railroad bridges known to exist in Michigan. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Detroit & Bay City Railroad was chartered in 1871. They constructed a line starting in Detroit which reached the Lake Orion area in 1872 and was completed through to Bay City the next year. The Michigan Central Railroad leased the line starting in 1881, and it operated afterwards as part of the Michigan Central system.</p><br>
<p>There is no record of the construction of this bridge, but a date stone in the bridge wing wall is carved with "1891," and the bridge construction is similar to three or four other known Michigan Central stone arch structures constructed at about that time.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Indian Lake Road Stone Arch Bridge is a single-span arch constructed of yellowish-brown rock-faced sandstone. The arch spans 19 feet between abutments and is 12 feet high. The entire bridge is nearly 16 feet high and is 21 feet wide from face to face. The bridge formerly carried a railroad line.</p><br>
<p>The arch of the bridge begins atop the fifth course of masonry above ground level. Two pairs of side-by-side voussoirs support a single regular horizontal block of stone, which flank the central four voussoirs and the keystone. Atop the arch is a projecting one course high stone cap. The bridge wingwalls are built of regular blocks of stone, with the courses aligned to the abutments. A stone at the far east end of the southeastern wingwall displays "1891" carved in its upper surface.</p><br>
<p>Lake Orion Historic District is a commercial and residential historic district located in Lake Orion, Michigan and roughly bounded by Elizabeth Street, Hauxwell Drive, Front Street, and Lapeer Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lake Orion was first settled in the 1820s, and a number of mills were in place along Paint Creek. The mills flourished, attracting more settlers, and the village of Orion was platted in 1838. The first general store was opened that year, and a second added in 1843. By 1857, there were nearly two dozen businesses in the settlement. Orion was incorporated as a village in 1859, but a devastating 1862 fire that destroyed the business district caused the charter to be repealed. The downtown was quickly rebuilt, and the village reincorporated in 1869.</p><br>
<p>In 1872, the Detroit & Bay City Railroad was completed through Orion. This stimulated local businesses and gave an outlet to the local agricultural market, with Orion as a primary shipping hub. It also gave visitors from Detroit easy access to Lake Orion, setting up the area as a resort hub. Lake Orion became one of the most popular resorts in southeastern Michigan. In addition to the 1862 fire, fires in 1874, 1894, 1901, and 1902 destroyed buildings in Lake Orion&#39;s downtown, resulting in infill of newer buildings. While the commercial section of the village grew, the residential section did also, but without the disastrous fires, resulting in a full range of houses existing, dating from the 1840s through the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>At the onset of the twentieth century, the rise of the automobile contributed to a tremendous growth in Oakland County and in Lake Orion. Although the newest parts of the residential section of Lake Orion are not included in the historic district, the growth and mobility did change the village. The resort community declined in the twentieth century, and the new alignment of M-24 to bypass the downtown meant fewer shoppers for the village&#39;s commercial core. Orion began to change to a suburban community, but with an intact historic core.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lake Orion Historic District includes about twenty-six blocks in the historic core of Lake Orion surrounding the intersection of Broadway and Flint Street, which was historically the commercial center of the village. The historic district includes a total of 280 properties, of which 218 contribute to the historic nature of the district. The commercial portion of the district generally contains brick one- or two-story buildings, spanning Commercial Italianate, Romanesque Revival, Moderne, Commercial Brick styles. At the edges of the commercial district, a number of formerly residential buildings have been converted to commercial uses. The surrounding residential area of the district consists primarily of wood-frame houses built between the mid-nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century. The oldest homes in the historic district are evenly dispersed throughout the area, with most early residents owning multiple lots surrounding their homes. As the village grew, newer homes began to fill in the lots between the original homes, with the result that many architectural styles are intermixed.</p><br>
<p>The Pleasant Ridge East Historic District is a residential historic district located east of Woodward Avenue in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan, and bounded by Woodward, Ten Mile Road, Conrail, and the east and south city limits. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first settler in what is now Pleasant Ridge was Virgil Rose, who purchased a 400-acre portion of land centered on the Ten Mile Road - Woodward Avenue intersection. In the late 19th century, the Rose family heirs sold a portion of the tract west of Woodward to Alfred F. Wilcox, who developed a large estate in 1900 and in 1906 began platting a subdivision. The Rose family continued to own the land east of Woodward until 1914, when they platted the LaBelle Heights and Hamilton Woods subdivisions which include the majority of this historic district. The first houses were built in 1915-16, and in 1919 Pleasant Ridge, on both east and west sides of Woodward, was incorporated as a village.</p><br>
<p>Development boomed in the 1920s, and a number of developers and building contractors worked in the area. The most prominent of these was Walter Gehrke, who established an office in the district in 1926. The village incorporated as a city in 1927. The Pleasant Ridge East Historic District became home to a range of business, professional, and middle class workers, including teachers, architects, art directors, auditors, editors, brokers, accountants, brokers, metallurgists, electrical engineers, chemists, dentists, pharmacists, and physicians.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pleasant Ridge East Historic District is a primarily single-family home residential district, with only a few commercial properties along Woodward and Main Street. The neighborhoods are remarkably intact and cohesive, with homes representing a variety of architectural styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s, including colonials, English cottages, bungalows and Craftsman structures.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Bloomfield Township became a fashionable area for wealthy Detroit businessmen wanting a country estate. One of those wealthy businessmen was John Endicott. Endicott graduated from Harvard in 1889 and arrived in Detroit in 1891 to work in his uncles dry goods business, Newcomb, Endicott & Company. The company had been established in 1868, and by the 1890s was a prosperous Detroit retail store. Endicott started as a bookkeeper, was admitted as a partner in 1896 upon his uncles death, and was appointed treasurer of the firm in 1903 when it incorporated.</p><br>
<p>John Endicott married his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Booth, in 1902, after the death of his first wife in 1900. In 1905, the couple purchased this lot of 94 acres for their country estate. The property contained a mill pond and a farmhouse, and in 1906 the Endicotts moved into the farmhouse permanently. They established a stock farm, constructing new barns on the property. They constructed this new house at some later point, likely around 1910.</p><br>
<p>The Endicotts continued to live in this house, although John Endicott continued his business dealings in Detroit, first at Newcomb, Endicott & Company until its sale to Hudsons in 1927, and then in other capacities. In 1928 the Endicotts subdivided part of their farm acreage into 26 lots, keeping the 64 acre section around the house. They lived there until Marys death in 1944.

<p>The Rochester Grain Elevator, formerly the Griggs Brothers Grain Elevator, is a grain elevator located at 303 East University Drive in Rochester, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Detroit and Bay City Railroad first reached Rochester in 1872, and a local merchant immediately erected an elevator. In 1880, brothers Charles Kelley and Albert G. Griggs broke ground on this competing elevator. It was such a success that the brothers build a second elevator in 1884. In 1900, the Griggs sold the elevator to Erastus S. Letts, who sold it a few years later to Ferrin Brothers and Company, a large firm based in Rochester, New York. IN 1909, a group of local investors, including both Charles K. Griggs and Erastus S. Letts, formed the Rochester Elevator Company and repurchased the elevator from Ferrin Brothers. The company immediately began expanding and improving the elevator, likely by moving previously existing buildings into place and joining them to the 1880 elevator.</p><br>
<p>The Rochester Elevator changed ownership again in 1913, 1922, and 1930. In 1932, local businessman Lewis Cass Crissman purchased it, turning over operation to his son, L. Keith Crissman, who purchased it himself in 1942. It was sold again in 1952, 1956, and 1962, and Lawrence Smith eventually took over operation of the elevator. However, by the 1960s, the need for an elevator in Rochester was rapidly waning, and shipping became a minor portion of the business. Smith transitioned the company to a retail feed and seed and home and garden supply outlet, and continued operating it well into the 21st century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Rochester Grain Elevator is a two- and three-story wood frame grain elevator, made up of three separate buildings joined to make one structure. The three portions are of roughly equal length, and are joined end-to-end. The central building is the original 1880 Griggs Brothers elevator. It is a two-story timber-frame structure on a fieldstone foundation, covered in board and batten wood siding, with a gabled roof covered in asphalt shingles. The southern section is a two-story plank frame building moved to the site in 1909. It is sheathed in rough sawn vertical wood siding and has a gabled roof covered in asphalt shingles, and sits on a concrete block foundation. The northern section is a three-story timber-frame building sheathed with wood siding on two sides and sawn vertical wood siding on the other two. It has a gambrel roof covered in asphalt shingles and sits on a poured concrete foundation. This section is likely constructed from nearby building that was salvaged in 1909 and joined to the original elevator.</p><br>
<p>The entire structure is painted barn red. The facade facing the street has two public entrances covered by a corrugated metal awning, which runs the length of the building. A small shed-roofed addition is on one end. The facade at the end facing University drive has advertising signage painted directly on the siding.</p><br>

<p>By the 1920s, Bloomfield Hills was becoming suburbanized, with Judson Bradway developing first the Bloomfield Highlands subdivision in 1914, then the Bloomfield Estates and Bloomfield Manor subdivision, and then the Trowbridge Farms subdivision in 1917. Trowbridge Farms lots required that the house, exclusive of outbuildings or lot improvements, cost at least $10,000, and that no building could be set closer than twenty-five feet from a lot line. Thomas W. and Margaret Taliaferro had lived in Birmingham, Michigan since 1912, and in 1925 they purchased a lot and built this house, one of the first two houses built in the subdivision. The Taliaferros lived in this house until Margarets death in 1939 and Thomass in 1940. In 1941, the house was occupied by the Children&#39;s Fund of Michigan, in 1944 by John Singos and Marian Singos, in 1956 by Charles O. Miller, in 1968 by Herbert and Mary Jane Craw, and in 1974 by Conleyt and Nancy Bacon, who owned the house until at least 2011.</p><br>

<p>The Minoru and Teruko  Yamasaki House is a private house located at 3717 Lakecrest Drive in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It was the home of architect Minoru Yamasaki, designed by him in 1972. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Minoru Yamasaki was born in Seattle in 1912, studied architecture at the University of Washington, then moved the New York City, where he took graduate courses at New York University before accepting his first architecture position with the firm of Githens and Keally in 1935. Yamasaki spent the next decade in New York with various firms, and married Teruko Hirashiki in 1941. In 1945 left for Detroit to become the new head of design for Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls. He stayed until 1949, when he left to establish his own practice.</p><br>
<p>When the Yamasakis first came to Detroit, they found it difficult to find suitable housing, due in part to a persistent anti-Japanese sentiment in Detroits suburbs. They eventually purchased a farmhouse on Livernois Road, in Troy, Michigan, which was then very rural. By the early 1970s, however, the encroaching suburbification had reached Troy, and the Yamasakis were able to sell for a profit. By this time, they were also able to purchase land in areas from which they were previously excluded. In 1972, they purchased this lot, and Minoru Yamasaki designed the house. The house embodies Yamasakis approach to architectural design, expressed in residential architecture. Minoru Yamasaki lived in this house until his death in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Yamasaki house is a two-story, flat roofed, L-shaped structure. It is constructed on an aluminum frame and clad with bricks. The front elevation features an entry through the interior of the L. The entry is on the second level of the house. Other elevations feature tall curtain walls. A pool addition is to one side. The interior is an open floor plan and simple design, reflecting Yamasaki&#39;s philosophy that the interior of a house should recede into the background, allowing the furniture, artwork, and people to become the focal points.</p><br>
