<p>The Cordele Commercial Historic District is a 55 acre historic district in Cordele, Georgia, US which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The listing included 66 contributing buildings and a contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by Sixth Ave., Sixth St., Ninth Ave., and Fourteenth St.</p><br>
<p>It includes the Cordele Carnegie Library, a Carnegie library designed by J.W. Golucke & Co. which was built in 1903.</p><br>
<p>The 1907 Masonic Lodge was designed in Beaux Arts style by architect T. Firth Lockwood, Sr.</p><br>
<p>It includes a USA Post Office building (1912–13) credited to James Knox Taylor, Supervising Architect of the U.</p><br>
<p>S. Treasury, which is separately listed on the National Register as United States Post Office (Cordele, Georgia).</p><br>
<p>The Tom Chick House, in Monroe, Georgia, was built in 1907. Also known as the Chick-Gower-Braswell House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story frame house with brick chimneys. It has a one-story porch wrapping around its west west side. It was deemed notable as "a good example of early twentieth century architecture built for a middle class family that was moving into the city. Although the location is considered "in the country", it was close enough to Monroe for the children to take advantage of the city schools. The house was built by local contractors, probably using basic patterns and plans. In its massing, details, and style, it is typical of the architecture of the early 1900s. It is also significant as one of only a few examples in Monroe of a "farmhouse" in the city. Most of the city&#39;s development came out from the center of town, and few examples remain of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century farm development. 1102 East Church Street is one such house still in the city, and it is important as a rare example of this house type."</p><br>
<p>The Ellis County Courthouse on the Town Square in Arnett, Oklahoma was built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by New York City architect P. H. Weathers.</p><br>
<p>It is a brick courthouse which was originally two stories with a hipped roof. The roof was removed in the 1930s and a third floor was added to serve as the county jail.</p><br>
<p>It was important historically as settling a county seat war.</p><br>
<p>The Saline station, also known as the Detroit, Hillsdale and Indiana Railroad-Saline Depot, is a former railroad depot located at 402 North Ann Arbor Street in Saline, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The building now houses the Saline Depot Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Detroit, Hillsdale and Indiana Railroad arrived in Saline in 1870. This railway, likely created solely to raise subscription funds from the communities along its right-of-way, was controlled by the Michigan Central Railroad. Along with the rail lines, the railroad constructed this depot in Saline. The Detroit, Hillsdale and Indiana Railroad went bankrupt in 1875 (likely a planned maneuver), and was sold to the Detroit, Hillsdale, and South Western Railroad, which in 1881 leased the line in perpetuity to the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. When the rail line was built, Saline&#39;s economy temporarily boomed, and by 1876, Saline was shipping 5000 barrels of apples and 500 carloads of wheat per year. However, the construction of a new line through nearby Milan in 1880 cut into the shipping from Saline, and Saline went into a decline in the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway lease was assumed by the New York Central Railroad. By this time, demand for rail service was in a steady decline, and passenger service on the route was discontinued in 1930. In the late 1930s, the original passenger room burned and the railroad added a new exterior wall in what was formerly the interior. In 1960, the Michigan Central acquired the line through Saline, including the depot, and closed the station in 1961. In 1962, the last scheduled train passed through the Saline section of the line. Michigan Central sold the depot to Saline Mercantile Company who used it for a garden shop, but still leased a small office for the occasions when a switch engine came through. In 1967, the railroad completely abandoned the track.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1970s, Saline Mercantile sold the depot to mill owners David and Dean Zahn, who rented out the freight section of the depot for storage. In 1980, the Zahn family gave the depot to the Saline Historic District Commission and sold the land to the City of Saline. In 1982, puppeteer Meredith Bixby leased the building, and from 1983 to 1990, the Saline Area Players used it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Saline Depot is a single story, timber frame building with a steeply pitched gable roof. The depot measures fifty-three feet by twenty-nine and a half feet, and originally consisted of a freight warehouse on one end and small office/waiting room area on the other. The freight storage area is accessed on the track side through a double-door, which is flanked by tall double fixed windows. On the opposite side are two sets of freight doors, between which is a single horizontal window with six lights. The office/waiting room is accessed on the end of the building through a paneled door with a large light in its upper portion. Near the door are two double-hung windows.</p><br>
<p>The George Tambling and Ninette Stocker Miller House, located in Hillsboro, New Mexico, is a Late Victorian vernacular house built in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>"Built in 1894 by George Tambling Miller (b.1866) and his wife Ninette Stocker Miller, this is a one-story, late Victorian Vernacular dwelling constructed of locally produced black slag blocks. The blocks weigh about 130 pounds each and were made by pouring molten slag into metal molds.</p><br>
<p>"A sample of slag from the house was tested in 1993 by the New Mexico Bureau of Mines & Mineral Resources at the New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology in Socorro, New Mexico. Analytical results indicated that the sample contained small amounts of lead, copper, and zinc, comprising less than 1% of the slag mass. The remaining more than 99% percent is made up of such compounds as iron silicate which gives rise to the brownish crystalline texture of the material. The presence of copper in relatively high amounts strongly suggests that the samples originated from the Hillsboro smelter, the only copper smelter in the area.</p><br>
<p>"In April of 1894 Miller contracted with Peter Galles and J.M. Lewis to "erect, build and finish the carpenter work on one slag house on lot 3 Block 6 adjoining the Union Church Building Hillsboro, New Mexico. "Some of the lumber used in the house came from the Burge Gallery, formerly of Kingston, New Mexico, presumably the photography studio of J. C. Burge. Earlier in the month Ninette Miller had bought the land at a Sheriff&#39;s sale for $3.00.</p><br>
<p>"Miller was an avid and accomplished photographer. He noted in his diary pictures taken as he traveled across the country to New Mexico. Soon after his arrival, he photographed the Richmond Mill for Messrs Oliver and Underwood. He acquired negatives of a photo studio that closed about 1893, thought to be that of J. C. Burge and used an 8 x 10 view camera which he purchased from an itinerant photographer to record his home and various local scenes including stagecoaches of the Lake Valley-Hillsboro run."</p><br>
<p>It is located on the south side of Elenora St., west of Union Church.</p><br>
<p>Dundee Masonic Lodge No. 733 is a historic building built in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The building housed the Masonic lodge group and a Methodist church. The lodge group had 64 registered members in 1920. The USA Post Office issued a for the "Dundee Masonic Lodge No. 733 Station" in 2008. The building is also referred to as the "Goat Building" due to the zinc weathervane goat at the top of the buildings spire.</p><br>
<p>The Kellogg-Warden House is a single-family house located at 500 North Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It now houses the Washtenaw County Historical Society&#39;s Museum on Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This house was originally located at what is now 1015 Wall Street. Although the date of construction cannot be verified, tax and sales records suggest that the original section of the house was built about 1835. In 1837, Dan W. Kellogg purchased five contiguous lots, including the one this house sat on. In 1838, Kellogg sold them to his brother-in-law Ethan A. Warden. In 1839, Warden sold two of the lots, including the one containing this house, ho his father-in-law (and Dan Kelloggs father) Charles Kellogg, who move the Ann Arbor about this time. The sales prices suggest that the main portion of the house was constructed by Warden before his father-in-laws arrival.</p><br>
<p>Charles Kellogg lived in the house until his death in 1842, and his wife Mary Ann Otis Kellogg lived there until her death two years later. The Kellogg heirs sold the house in 1853 to Samuel Ruthruff, who lived in it until the early 1890s when German immigrant gardener Charles Greiner and his wife Kate purchased it. The Greiners later sold it to Laura Bauer Marz (a relative of Kate Greiner) and her husband John. Laura Marz lived in the house until her death in 1988, when it was sold to the University of Michigan.</p><br>
<p>The university planned to use the land for a parking lot, but recognizing the historical significance, gave the house to the Washtenaw County Historical Society. In 1990, the house was moved to its current location on North Main.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Kellogg-Warden House is a side-gable, side hall, Greek Revival half-I-house with a one-and-one-half-story gable-roof rear addition. It measures approximately twenty-six feet by forty-six feet. The house is sided with clapboard, and currently sits on a concrete block foundation, which has been faced with the fieldstones and bricks form the original foundation. The house has a box cornice with returns in the gable ends. The main facade is three bays wide, with the front door at one end. The door is flanked by four fluted pilasters. The windows are primarily double-hung sash units with two-over-two lights, save for a six-over-six window in the attic.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside Avenue Historic District is a 16.5 acre historic district in Downtown Spokane, Washington consisting of buildings constructed in the early 20th century, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The listing includes 14 contributing properties, nine of which are considered primary and five are considered secondary.</p><br>
<p>The district runs primarily along Riverside Avenue for five blocks from Monroe Street on the east to Walnut Street on the west. Additionally, some adjacent buildings that front Main Street, one block north of Riverside; Sprague Avenue, one block south of Riverside; and Cedar Street, which intersects Riverside in the west are also included. A tree-lined parkway in the middle of the street runs through this stretch of Riverside from Monroe to Cedar, then up Cedar for one block to First Ave.</p><br>
<p>Initially known as the Civic Center due to its concentration of monumental buildings and public spaces, designed and built as part of the City Beautiful movement. Over the years, the district has seen a handful of more modern intrusions within its bounds, but generally retains its historic character. The rear of the buildings are considerably higher than the southern façades, with north-facing walls occasionally being basements.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>Located on the west side of Downtown Spokane, the Riverside Avenue Historic District sits atop the crest of the hill rising up from the Spokane River Gorge to the north. The district&#39;s elevation is between roughly 1,860 and 1,880 feet above sea level, but it quickly drops off to the north of Riverside and falls more than 150 feet to the level of the Spokane River just over one city block to the north. This ridge trends slightly to the south as it moves downstream (east to west), making land on the north side of Riverside in the western portion of the historic district unsuitable for development.</p><br>
<p>Monroe Street, a north-south street marking the eastern boundary of the district, is classified as a primary arterial by the city of Spokane and serves as a busy thoroughfare connecting both sides of the river across the Monroe Street Bridge, located a block north of the historic district. Riverside Avenue itself is classified as a minor arterial through the city center east of Monroe, but is classified as a collector as it passes through the historic district.</p><br>
<p>It is one of many national historic districts in the immediate area. The Riverside Avenue Historic District directly borders the Peaceful Valley Historic District down the bluff to the northwest, and the West Downtown Historic Transportation Corridor to the south. To the west, the large Brownes Addition does not directly border the Riverside Avenue Historic District, but the two come within half-a-block of each other. The East Downtown Historic Districts western edge is at Post Street, two blocks southeast of the intersection of Riverside and Monroe.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing properties</h2><br>
<h3>Spokane Club</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1002 W. Riverside Ave., the Spokane Club is a Georgian Revival structure designed by Cutter and Malmgren. It was built in 1910 for a price of $425,000 ($ in dollars) and opened in 1911 as the clubhouse for the members-only Spokane Club. A rectangular building with a brick façade it measures 150 feet long along Riverside and 57 feet deep. It has four stories in addition to three basement levels, which are made possible due to its location along the steep and in places precipitous drop to the level of the Spokane River, just a block to the north. The first story is at approximately 1,875 feet above sea level while the river flows at approximately 1,830 feet within one block to the north. Riverside Avenue, to the south, is relatively flat but Main Avenue to the north falls off along that elevation drop from Downtown Spokane into the Peaceful Valley neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s south and main façade has an extended central entrance area surrounded by six window bays on each side, with brick walls with terra-cotta trim extending to the east and west in both directions. The main story is almost entirely terra-cotta on the exterior while the upper three stories are predominately red brick with white terra-cotta trim. At the entryway on the ground floor are Doric columns supporting a second-story balcony above which Ionic columns lead into a terra-cotta cornice between the third and fourth stories.</p><br>
<p>As of 2022, the Spokane Club building is the main clubhouse for the Spokane Club, a members-only club providing elegant dining, hospitality and sporting opportunities to the Spokane community.</p><br>
<h3>Civic Building</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1020 W. Riverside, the Civic Building, known later as the Chamber of Commerce and as of 2022 as The Philanthropy Center, is a Renaissance Revival building designed by Waterhouse and Price. It was built in 1931 at a cost of $125,000 ($ in dollars). It is a rectangular building with roughly 100 feet of façade along Riverside. The structure is reinforced concrete with a façade of multi-colored brick. The building rises one story above Riverside on its southern face but it rises four stories above Main Street on the north. The three basement levels are made possible by the cliff between Riverside and Main that was cut by the adjacent Spokane River. The first floor at Riverside is at approximately 1,885 feet elevation while the river a block away is at approximately 1,720 feet above sea level. The central feature of the Riverside facade is the loggia which houses the main entrance to the building. It is the easternmost of the three buildings in a row along Riverside which feature prominent colonnades along their southern faces.</p><br>
<h3>Masonic Temple</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1108 W. Riverside, the Masonic Temple is a monumental structure built in Neo-Classical Revival and to conform to the City Beautiful movement. The Masonic Temple has a 222-foot length along Riverside, most of which is dominated by a Corinthian colonnade. Above the colonnade a balustrade runs most of the length of the façade Riverside has a curved appearance in this area, but the Masonic Temple is the only building with a curved façade along that stretch. The building&#39;s structure is made of reinforced concrete and rises three stories above Riverside, and five stories in the rear along Main Avenue to the north. The first floor at Riverside is at approximately 1,885 feet elevation while the river a block away is at approximately 1,720 feet above sea level.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building matches the grandeur of the Riverside façade, and maintains the theme of ancient Egyptian style motifs. The ballroom features a spring-supported "floating floor" while the Blue Room features the original red floral carpeting, the same used by Louis Davenport in his elegant Davenport Hotel. A fifth floor skylight that was covered up during World War II was brought back during an early-2000s restoration, allowing it to shine natural light onto the oak staircase leading to the fifth floor. On the fifth floor, the aptly named Falls Room offers views overlooking the Spokane Falls. There is also a 500-seat auditorium with horseshoe seating and a full balcony.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Temple was built at a cost of $150,000 ($ in dollars) and became operational in 1905. As of 2022, the Masonic Temple building is used as an event hall.</p><br>
<h3>Elks Temple</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1116 W Riverside, the Elks Temple is a Renaissance Revival building completed in 1921 at a cost of $200,000 ($ in dollars). Its design is attributed to a little-known architect named Edward J. Baume, though renowned architect Kirtland Cutter has also been attached to the building&#39;s design. It is a rectangular building made of reinforced concrete with smooth sandstone on the exterior. Atop the façade runs a decorative frieze made of tile. An Ionic colonnade runs along the second story exterior, continuing the theme of exterior colonnades that began with the Civic Building on the east and continued through the Masonic Temple to the Elks Temple. A balustrade runs between each column. The ground level features a recessed central entryway surrounded on each side by four bays with arched windows extending approximately 110 feet along Riverside.</p><br>
<p>Originally built to serve as a meetinghouse for the Spokane chapter of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, a fraternal order which had a membership of nearly 8,000 in the Spokane area at the time of construction. Among Elks clubs of the time, Spokane&#39;s had the second-highest membership rate behind only the chapter in Los Angeles. Membership dwindled in later years, and the club moved to a smaller facility in Spokane Valley. The building was purchased by North Coast Life Insurance in 1981 and restored in 1983. The renovation work earned the Award of Outstanding Merit from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<h3>Smith Funeral Home and Apartment Building</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1124 W. Riverside, the former Smith Funeral Home is a Baroque Revival structure built in 1921 at a cost of $130,000 ($ in dollars). It was designed by local architectural firm Jones and Levesque. The four-story building is rectangular in plan and composed of reinforced concrete and brick masonry. The façade along Riverside stretches for approximately 50 feet and is covered with cream colored terra cotta, while the side walls are pressed red brick that has been painted over. The Riverside façade is composed of five bays containing windows or doors. The central and exterior bays are thinner compared to the wider second and fourth bays. On the ground level the first, third and fifth bays contain doors. Every other bay contains windows, with arched windows on the second floor and rectangular windows in the rest. A mansard roof of stamped copper sits atop the façade, above a bracketed cornice and balustrade. In the center is a domed pavilion with an arched pediment. On either side of the dome are a pair of oeil-de-boeuf dormer windows.</p><br>
<p>Originally constructed to house apartments and a funeral home. The fourth floor was to contain laundry and work rooms, with apartments on the second and third stories and the funeral home on the ground level and in the basement. The Smith Funeral Home was the oldest operational funeral home in Spokane at the time of its closing in the late 1970s. The building was left vacant for a decade after the closure, and threatened with demolition, until North Coast Life Insurance purchased it along with the neighboring Elks Temple in the early 1980s and set out to do rehabilitation work on the two buildings. Subsequently, the building has been commonly known as North Coast Plaza.</p><br>
<h3>Roman Catholic Chancery Building</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1023 W. Riverside, the Chancery Building was constructed in 1925 for the Western Union Life Insurance Company at a cost of $260,000 ($ in dollars). It was designed by local architect G.A. Pehrson in a Renaissance Revival and Neo-Classical style with a reinforced concrete and brick masonry structure. The façade along Riverside and Madison is covered in white terra cotta. The H-shaped building has three stories and a semi-daylight basement.</p><br>
<p>The Chancery Building was used as office space for life insurance companies until 1966 when it was sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Spokane. It served as the Diocese&#39;s headquarters for 40 years until being sold in 2006. The sale of the building was part of a claims settlement to pay victims of child sexual abuse by priests and clergy. After the sale, the diocese remained as tenants of the building until 2019. In January 2022, the Spokane Historic Landmarks Commission voted unanimously to require additional design review of the proposal, putting the plan on hold. The commission cited the "very modern" nature of the proposal as being out of touch with the character of the area.</p><br>
<h3>Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Cathedral</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1115 W. Riverside, Our Lady of Lourdes is a Catholic cathedral built between 1902 and 1907, and dedicated in 1908, though it would not be granted cathedral status until 1914. Church services began in 1903, when the basement superstructure was finished, but still four years before construction as a whole would be completed. It was designed in Romanesque Revival style by local firm Preusse and Zittel with modifications by another local firm, Julian and Williams. It measures roughly 80 feet wide along Riverside and 172 feet deep, with a height of 125 feet at the bell towers. The structure is reinforced concrete and brick masonry with a rosate brick veneer and white terra cotta trim. Centrally located above the Narthex facing Riverside is a traditional large wheel window.</p><br>
<p>The main central entrance, and matching entrances at the base of each bell tower, are elevated above the level of Riverside Avenue, which can be reached via staircase. All three are identical, round-arched portal style entrances. Inside, the nave, aisles and transept are spanned by Romanesque ribbed barrel vaults. Support piers are decorated with pilasters to imitate the clustered pillars of medieval churches. Stained glass windows telling the story of Judeo-Christian history are considered by the Cathedral to be one of its crown jewels, as they were crafted in and imported from Bavaria.</p><br>
<p>The church underwent an interior remodel in 1971, and in 2021 there was a rehabilitation project focusing on the exterior and bell towers, which caused the closure of the intersection of Riverside and Madison for two weeks.</p><br>
<p>Visually distinct from the rest of the historic district due to its height, the cathedral ranks as the 16th tallest building in Spokane and the second tallest church in the city behind only the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in the city&#39;s Rockwood neighborhood.</p><br>
<h3>San Marco Apartments</h3><br>
<p>Located at 1229 W. Riverside, the San Marco is a historic Renaissance Revival apartment building designed by Albert Held and built in 1904. Shaped like a wedge, it is a made up of two wings, one that stretches roughly 200 feet along Riverside and the other that runs roughly 135 feet along Sprague Avenue. Riverside and Sprague are normally parallel to each other, but as Riverside curves along the ridge leading down to the Spokane River, it trends to the south and intersects with Sprague at the west end of the San Marco. It is a brick masonry structure with buff-colored brick on the exterior above a sandstone foundation. A pair of loggia are located at the corner where the two arms come together.</p><br>
<p>Initially listed on the NRHP as a contributing property to the Riverside Avenue Historic District, it was listed a second time as one of four historically notable apartment homes in Spokane designed by Albert Held including the Amman, Breslin and Knickerbocker.</p><br>
<h3>Carnegie Library</h3><br>
<p>Located at 10 S. Cedar Street, the former Carnegie Library was built in 1905 at a cost of $100,000 ($ in dollars). It was designed by local architects Herman Preusse and Julius Zittel. Rectangular in plan, it is a two-story building with a daylight basement and a neo-classical portico. Dark rock-faced masonry serves as the foundation atop which the façade is composed of gray-tan brick. The original building was 50 by 70 feet, but a later expansion to the rear added an additional 42 by 72 feet was built. The main entrance is a two-story portico with Corinthian columns.</p><br>
<p>While not located on Riverside, the building is coterminous with the rest of the historic district. As Riverside curves southward along the bluff cut by the Spokane river and away from its east–west position in the street grid, it eventually intersects with Sprague Avenue. Sprague is the east–west street immediately south of Riverside, and Riverside&#39;s intersection with it comes at the location where Cedar Street naturally intersects with Sprague. The parkway that runs along Riverside through the historic district is continued for one block along Cedar from Riverside/Sprague on the north to First Avenue on the south. That is the block on which the Carnegie Library is located.</p><br>
<p>The building served as Spokanes main library until 1963, when demand had outgrown the size of the building and the main library was moved to a larger facility. After that, the building changed hands numerous times until going into default and falling into city ownership. It the sat vacant from 1983 until 1992, when it was purchased by Integrus Architecture. Integrus restored the building, and has since used it as the firms office space.</p><br>
<h3>Secondary properties</h3><br>
<p>In addition to the nine primary contributing properties listed above, there are five properties listed as secondary properties in the district. The Rectory Building at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Cathedral, located at 1115 W. Riverside, immediately west of the cathedral, was built in 1910. At 1203 W. Riverside is the former Knights of Pythias Hall, built in 1911. At 1227 W. Riverside, immediately east of the San Marco, is the Edwidge Apartments, built between 1908 and 1910. At 1214 W. Sprague, to the east of the San Marco and south of the Edwidge, is the Myrtle Apartments, built in 1906. At 5 S. Cedar, across the street from the Carnegie Library, is the former Sunshine and Herbert Apartments, now known as the Buena Vista, built in 1905.</p><br>

<h2>Modern incursions</h2><br>
<p>The district, especially along Riverside, has largely retained its historical character, though there have been some instances of buildings being demolished and new properties being constructed that do not match the district&#39;s character.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, the 15-story Riverfalls Tower was built at 1224 W. Riverside, across the street from the San Marco and Edwidge Buildings. It is distinct compared to the rest of the district for its sleek, glass and steel exterior that curves around all four sides of the building. It is also a high-rise building, unlike the rest of the structures in the area with the exception of the cathedral&#39;s bell towers. Riverfalls Tower rises 11 stories above Riverside and includes a five-story parking structure below. Interestingly, though it is considered a modern incursion into the national historic district, the building was named to the local Spokane Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, condominium housing was constructed at 1223 W. Riverside, between the Knights of Pythias Hall and Edwidge Building. While more recently constructed than even the Riverfalls Tower across the street, these condominiums blend into the historic character and nature of the district. At three stories tall, they match the elevation of surrounding buildings. Additionally, as was the case when the historic apartment buildings surrounding them were built, these homes were built for higher-income residents.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern edge of the district, several early 20th century structures were demolished in the mid-20th century to make way for parking for the Fox Theater, located south on the other side of Sprague. The parking lot has subsequently been replaced by print facilities for The Spokesman-Review newspaper.</p><br>

<p>The Stone School is a school building located at 2600 Packard Road in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Beginning in 1955, the building houses the Stone School Cooperative Nursery.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1852, Dr. Benajah Ticknor leased this plot of land to the newly formed Pittsfield School District Number 2, for use as a school site. By 1853, the district parents had gathered fieldstones and constructed a small Greek Revival schoolhouse. In the following years, the surrounding area grew, so that by 1881 the school was serving Fractional District Number 7. By 1911, the district had outgrown its schoolhouse, so the parents demolished the old school and constructed this new one, using the old stones as well as new ones gathered for the purpose. The school gained recognition from the state Superintendent of Public Instruction Fred L. Keeler, who designated it a model "Standard School" in his 1914-1914 report.</p><br>
<p>The following year, the landowner, Aaron Sommers, sold the land the school is placed on to the Pittsfield Schools for $30. The district continued to grow, and a frame classroom was added to the lot. In 1949, a new concrete block school was built across the street, and in 1953 the stone school was renovated. The Ann Arbor Public Schools acquired the school in 1955, and a group of local parents formed the Stone School Cooperative Nursery, opening in the schoolhouse.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Stone School is a single-story one-room schoolhouse located on a triangular plot of land, now fenced to protect the playground. It has fieldstone walls and a cross-gabled red tile roof. Larger fieldstones form a ground-level beltcourse, corner quoins, and shallow arches above the doors and windows. The main portion of the building holds the classroom, and contains broad, square-head window on each narrow side. A front-gable entry projects forward, ad contains a wooden door with a transom above, flanked by long, narrow, double-hung, one-over-one window units. The entry is reached via wide stone steps. There is a concrete block addition in the rear.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the entry leads to a hall with an office on one side and an open coat area on the other. The coat area also contains an enclosed stair to the basement. The remainder of the interior is one large room with a high ceiling, plaster walls, and bead board wainscot.</p><br>
<p>The Anton Gogala Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Krain Township, Minnesota, United States. For over a century it remained a small-scale dairy farm operated by a Slovene American family, and contains traditionally constructed buildings and structures dating back to 1875, including several built of logs. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its local significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and exploration/settlement. It was nominated as the best surviving illustration of Stearns Countys settlement-era farmsteads of the late 19th century, and for the Gogala familys key role in establishing the Slovene American community of St. Anthony a mile to the north.</p><br>
<p>The Marshall County Courthouse in Marysville, Kansas, located at 1207 Broadway, is a historic courthouse built in 1891–92. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Milwaukee architect H.C. Koch and the building contractor was Groves & Hackett.</p><br>
<p>It replaced an 1873 courthouse which burned December 30, 1890 in a fire suspected to be arson.</p><br>
<p>The Vernon County Courthouse in Viroqua, Wisconsin, was built in 1880. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was designed in High Victorian Gothic style by Norwegian immigrant architect Carl F. Struck. It is a two-story limestone building with a three-story tower and belfry.</p><br>
<p>Murals inside include a scene of settlers arriving in wild Vernon County painted by Leighton Oyen of LaCrosse.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes a second contributing building, a sheriff&#39;s office and jail building with a red clay tiled hipped roof, built c.1910.</p><br>
<p>The Old Iron County Courthouse, now the Iron County Historical Museum, at 303 Iron St. in Hurley in Iron County, Wisconsin, was built in 1892–1893. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Old Courthouse is a two-story red pressed brick building with brownstone ornamentation, 83x69 ft in plan, in an eclectic style with Richardsonian Romanesque features and two towers, one a "castellated High Victorian" clock tower, the other capped by a dome. Designed by L.H. Ruggles, it was an unusually large and elaborate public building for Wisconsin at that time.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1892–1893 as the town hall for the former town of Vaughn, which was then in Ashland County. Before its completion, the majority of the building was leased to the newly formed Iron County, and although under the lease terms the "court room" space was to be used primarily for meetings of the town council, it quickly became the county courthouse. The building originally also included the firehouse for the then village of Hurley; the central arched doorway in the main facade that accommodated fire-fighting equipment has been modified.</p><br>
<p>The clock tower has clocks on all four sides with a 1922 Seth Thomas clockworks, which replaced the 1893 original after lightning damage; electricity was installed for the purpose.</p><br>
<p>The Iron County Historical Society acquired the building in 1976 and restored it to house the Iron County Historical Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Tonahutu Creek Trail, in the general area of Grand Lake, Colorado, in both Grand and Larimer counties, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>It is also known as Little North Inlet Trail and as Tonahutu Trail.</p><br>
<p>The trail runs from very close to Grand Lake roughly along Tonahutu Creek to Flattop Mountain, in the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park.</p><br>
<p>The general route was established in 1880; the trail was improved in 1924. Its main trail is about 13 mi long. Its significant built features (paraphrasing the NRHP document) include dry rock walls, log footbridge/ford combinations, bogwalks, log and rock water bars and drains, the Harbison Ditch, and abandoned cabins in Big Meadows.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes one contributing structure. The trail reflects landscape architecture design by National Park Service architects.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago and North Western Depot is a former railway station in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. The station served the Chicago and North Western Railway along the Twin Cities 400 line for much of its life. It was built in 1906, and operated as a passenger station until closing in 1963. Currently, it houses the Reedsburg Chamber of Commerce and the headquarters for the 400 State Trail. The railway line, however, remains in use by Wisconsin and Southern Railroad.</p><br>
<p>The Wiedenbeck-Dobelin Warehouse is located in Madison, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The warehouse was built for a company that produced hardware for blacksmithing and wagon-building companies. In 1987, it was converted into an apartment building. During the 1990s, the Kohl Center was constructed next to it.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Delta Upsilon Fraternity House is a fraternity house located at 1331 Hill Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Delta Upsilon was founded in 1834 at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The chapter at the University of Michigan was founded in 1874. By the early 1900s, the chapter needed a new house. Alumni pooled donations, and the chapter hired Detroit architect Albert Kahn to design this new house.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in 1902, and was completed in 1903. Delta Upsilon was the first fraternity to move to this part of Ann Arbor, but many other fraternities and sororities followed. The fraternity has continuously occupied the house since its construction, and it is the oldest fraternity house in Ann Arbor still being used by the organization that built it. It is also one of the earliest surviving examples of Kahn&#39;s non-industrial, non-commercial designs.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, a fire gutted the building. It was restored at a cost of nearly $6 million and re-opened in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Delta Upsilon Fraternity House is a -story side-gable Tudor Revival building clad with Arts and Crafts influences. The first story is clad in brick and the second in stucco with half-timbered and shingled accents. The front facade is symmetric, with a shallow E-shaped plan with a narrow, three-story, front-gable projection in the center and a slightly projecting front-gable wing at each end. The center entry is through a recessed portico supported by four round columns. Windows are both casement</p><br>
<p>and double-hung styles grouped in units of two, three, and four. The roof is clad with slate, with shed dormers containing paired casement windows.</p><br>
<p>On the interior is a wide entrance hall flanked by a dining room and kitchen on one side and a living room and sun room on the other. A stairway leads to the second floor and the attic, both of which have center halls and living quarters off each side.</p><br>
<p>The First State Bank of St. Joseph, Minnesota, United States, is a historic bank building constructed in 1918. Its elaborate terracotta façade suggests Egyptian Revival architecture, a rarely used style in Minnesota. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its local significance in the theme of architecture. It was nominated for the aesthetic value its sophisticated and atypical design lends to St. Joseph&#39;s principal commercial street.</p><br>
<p>The John Delehunty House, at 212 Main St. in Florence, Kentucky, was a historic Tudor Revival-style house built in 1920.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "a good example of the Tudor Revival style significant to Boone County in the period 1910-1940", one of just two Tudor Revival buildings in Boone County identified in a study of historic resources.</p><br>
<p>It was apparently demolished before 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Brown-Sewell House is a Greek Revival-styled house built in 1859 in Stoughton, Wisconsin. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Lyman Brown, and possibly by him, in 1859. Hallmarks of the Greek Revival style are the moderately pitched roof, the corner pilasters, the raking cornice, and the entablature. The one-story porch is a replacement, perhaps similar to an original porch in the same location.</p><br>
<p>Though the house was built for Brown, it was only five years before he sold it to the Reverend Robert Sewell and his wife Elizabeth, in 1864. Rev. Sewell was the minister of the First Congregational Church in Stoughton. He had immigrated from Halstead, England to Canada, then New Jersey, then Wisconsin. He died in 1874 and Elizabeth in 1888, but their two daughters remained in the house into the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Cambridge Public School and High School is a historic school building constructed in 1905 in Cambridge, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>Cambridge&#39;s early Yankee settlers valued education, and they constructed a school in 1848. It was a one-story wooden building, with its original location unknown. In 1869 it was replaced by a two-story wooden building on the site of the current school. In 1888 it was certified a three-year "free high school."</p><br>
<p>In 1905 the old school was destroyed by fire. The school district responded quickly, commissioning the Des Moines firm of W.R. Parsons and Son to design the new school. The Chippewa Falls Construction Company won the bid, construction began in August, and the school was complete in January 1906. This building is two stories, clad in red brick, with a hip-and-deck roof. The corners of the building are decorated with dark brick quoins. The style is Georgian Revival with Romanesque Revival accents evident in the round arches and rusticated stone of the basement level. The new school featured many modern amenities, including a forced-air furnace and a ventilation system. The first floor was for elementary classes, with each room having its own small library. High school was upstairs. Despite some amenities, the building probably did not start out with running water (no toilets), and would not be wired for electricity until 1909.</p><br>
<p>In 1938-39 the school building underwent significant renovations and a gymnasium and auditorium were added with support of a Public Works Administration grant. The addition was designed by Alfred H. Siewert of Milwaukee. His design used glued laminated wooden arches to support the gymnasium roof, which was rather state-of-the-art for the time.</p><br>
<p>Other sections were added on in 1956, 1962 and 1990.</p><br>
<p>In the years since, the schools have been split apart and moved to different locations and this building was converted to a museum. In 1998, the building was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Jens and Ingeborg Cold House is a historic home begun in Stoughton, Wisconsin in 1858 and expanded/remodeled in 1892. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Jens Cold immigrated from Norway in 1854 and married Ingeborg in 1860. By the 1865 he was a saddler and harness maker. In 1875 he and Ingeborg bought the lot where the house stands. The house at that time was probably the 1.5-story, side-gabled portion of the house that still exists, with walls of load-bearing brick. It may have been built in 1858, when a jump in the property tax valuation indicates that something was built there.</p><br>
<p>In 1898 the Colds remodeled and added on to the house. Queen Anne style had become popular by that time, and they headed in that direction. On the existing 1.5-story section of the house, they extended the windows down to the floor to make them French doors and they added the front-facing dormer, with bargeboards and patterned shingles decorating the top of the gable. But the real Queen Anne style is in the 2-story addition, apparent in the corner tower, the asymmetry, the bay window, and the hip roof of the block behind. The addition is clad in the same red brick as the 1.5-story section, unifying the whole design. The front door is shaded by a porch supported by turned posts topped with a sunburst pattern.</p><br>
<p>The La Liendre Bridge, spanning Beatriz Creek, a tributary to the Río de la Plata, between Cayey, Puerto Rico and Cidra, Puerto Rico. It was built in 1877 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995,</p><br>
<p>It is a rare type of bridge in the USA or its territories, one of a handful of lattice girder bridges imported from France and Belgium to Puerto Rico between 1877 and 1892. It has lattice girders with transverse joists. It was on the Carretera Central highway of Puerto Rico, between Cayey and Caguas.</p><br>
<p>It is Bridge No. 467 mentioned in a review of historic bridges in Puerto Rico.</p><br>
<p>It is a single-span 17.9 m long bridge.</p><br>
<p>In 1994 it was still in use on Puerto Rico Highway 735, bringing it about fifty feet over the bed of</p><br>
<p>Beatriz Creek.</p><br>
<p>The North Washington Street Historic District in Watertown, Wisconsin is a 27 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It included 102 contributing buildings and eight non-contributing ones.</p><br>
<p>It spans the border of Dodge County, Wisconsin and Jefferson County, Wisconsin. It runs along N. Church St. generally bounded by OConnell and N. Green St., and along N. Washington St. bounded by OConnell and Elm Sts.</p><br>
<p>It is a residential district with homes in various sizes and styles, unified by a lot of local cream brick. Examples include the 1849/1870 Italianate Kusel house, the 1855 simple front gable house at 423 N Church, the 1877 Second Empire Cody house, the 1894 Queen Anne Woodard house, the 1910 American Foursquare Schimmel house, the 1915 Craftsman Calhoun house, the 1929 Dutch Colonial Revival Baumann house, and the 1930 Tudor Revival Salick house.</p><br>
<p>Initial Point, on the boundary of Garvin County, Oklahoma and Murray County, Oklahoma, about 7.5 mi west of Davis, Oklahoma, is a historic surveying initial point which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>It includes one contributing object, a sandstone marker monument approximately 54x18x18 in dimension. It was set "in a mound of stones six feet in diameter and three feet high, from which flagstaff at Fort Arbuckle bears north seven degrees, thirty-seven minutes west."</p><br>
<p>Initial Point, or the "Point of Beginning," was established by United States General Land Office surveyors in 1870. From this point all land in Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory, and later the State of Oklahoma except for its Panhandle, was surveyed and described. It is considered one of the notable initial points in the United States.</p><br>
<p>At the time of its establishment, Initial Point was located in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation.</p><br>
<p>The Barrow County Courthouse, which is located on Courthouse Sq. in Winder, Georgia, was built in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by J.J. Baldwin. It has a one-story projecting entrance and a two-story Doric tetrastyleportico. It has a three-stage clock tower with clocks facing in four directions.</p><br>
<p>The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth Avenue Commercial Buildings comprise a row of six buildings in St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States, constructed between 1883 and 1914. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for their local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. As St. Clouds best preserved commercial block from the turn of the 20th century, it was nominated for reflecting the commercial architecture and history of the citys downtown business district.</p><br>
<p>The Fair Haven Flour Mill is a historic former mill on the Clearwater River in the unincorporated community of Fairhaven, Minnesota, United States. Built in 1867, it is the third-oldest mill still standing in Minnesota. The mill ceased operations in 1942 and the milling equipment was sold for scrap when metal was in short supply during World War II. The vacant mill was damaged by flooding and vandals in subsequent decades, but was restored in the 1970s and protected by the Fair Haven Mill Association. The mill is now preserved in Fairhaven Mill Park, which is owned and operated by adjacent Wright County with financial assistance from Stearns County.</p><br>
<p>The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 for its local significance in the themes of commerce, engineering, and industry. It was nominated for being one of the area&#39;s few surviving water-powered mills and one of the oldest extant mill buildings anywhere in Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>The New Zion Historic District, near Scott, Kentucky, is a 37 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. It included 27 contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and 10 contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as "New Zion is a rare town among the several dozen African American communities studied in central Kentucky in the early 1970s—it survives, and its historic aspects are recognizable." About 30 rural Negro settlements or hamlets having more than 50 residences were studied in Peter Craig Smiths 1972 dissertation, Negro Hamlets and Gentlemen Farms: A Dichotomous Rural Settlement Pattern in Kentuckys Bluegrass Region (University of Kentucky). In 2008 New Zion was one of few still predominantly an African American community.</p><br>
<p>New Zion "stood where &#39;land was apparently given to two ex slaves, Promis King and Calvin Hampton, by a Mr.Gough (or Gulf, or Goult). Hampton and King later sold lots to other Negroes."</p><br>
<p>It was developed, starting around 1868, along Newtown Pike and along New Zion Road, a U-shaped road with two entrances off of Newtown Pike. It includes 4972 Newtown Pike through 5200 Newtown Pike, and 103-135 New Zion Rd. It spans the border of Fayette County, Kentucky and Scott County, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>It includes Bungalow/craftsman, Shotgun and single pen architecture.</p><br>
<p>Chattooga County Courthouse, on Courthouse Sq. in Summerville, Georgia, was built in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse has three pedimented Corinthian tetrastyle entrances; the fourth entrance, also pedimented, has just four Corinthian pilasters. It has a domed clock tower.</p><br>
<h2>Boundary</h2><br>
<p>The portion of the block includes the courthouse and is bounded on the north by Cox St. east by Washington St. south by Commerce St.: and west by an alley.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>All entrances of the courthouse are pedimented. Pavilions project from a core; a domed clock tower with a lantern rises in three stages. An iron fence surrounds the courthouse. Original wooden doors are at the entries; marble wainscoting is about 4 feet high in the hallway on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The courtroom has a lowered ceiling; the old pressed metal has been replaced by acoustical tile. Behind the simple bench is an arched stained glass window proclaiming “wisdom, justice, and moderation”. The balcony is enclosed. The walls are plaster with wooden wainscoting. A small holding cell is in the hall behind the bench.</p><br>
<h2>History and Development</h2><br>
<p>On March 23, 1839, the Interior Court Justices were granted the authority by an act of the General Assembly to choose a location for the county seat, purchase land, subdivide it into lots, and sell those lots to generate funds for the construction of a county courthouse and jail. They acquired a parcel of ninety acres from John F. Beavers for the sum of $1800. Until this endeavor was completed, the legislative directive specified that meetings take place at the residence of John Pickens Henry. Following this, the Interior Court may have designated Summerville as the county seat. In any case, on December 21, 1839, the General Assembly formally incorporated Summerville and designated it as the permanent county seat.</p><br>
<p>Apart from its central location, the primary reason for selecting this site was the presence of a significant spring. This spring, known by various names including Big Spring, Beavers Spring, Cleghorn Spring, and eventually Willow Spring, was capable of providing water to the towns residents for an extended period. Although there was some dispute regarding the springs ownership, it remained with Colonel Beavers, yet there was an informal agreement allowing the town&#39;s inhabitants to utilize the water.</p><br>
<p>Initially named Selma, the county seat of Chattooga County was later changed to Summerville to promote the pleasant climate in the region, possibly at the suggestion of David Taylor, a prominent settler from Augusta. The initial sale of lots progressed slowly, and it wasnt until 1842 that a log courthouse was erected at the intersection of Washington and Jackson Streets (now Commerce Street), which is still the courthouses current location today.</p><br>
<p>The first courthouse was a log structure constructed in 1842 by the Hitchcock brothers. Subsequently, a two-story brick courthouse (pictured above) was built, serving the county until the construction of the present courthouse in 1909.</p><br>
<p>On July 30, 1908, the Board of Roads and Revenue initiated a bond referendum scheduled for December 1908, with the purpose of voting on a $55,000 bond issue to finance the construction of a new courthouse. The bond issue was approved, and the Board began planning for the new courthouse&#39;s construction. After seeing the recently constructed courthouse in Baxley, Georgia, in Appling County, the Board decided to adopt identical plans for Chattooga County. The court validated the $50,000 bond issue, and the bonds were sold to the Robinson-Humphrey Company of Atlanta in January 1909. Construction of the new courthouse commenced under the supervision of R.L. Rolland.</p><br>
<p>The present courthouse was constructed in the Neoclassical Revival Style, and it was designed by the Bryan Architectural Firm. The construction of this impressive $60,000 edifice was undertaken by the Falls City Construction Company from Louisville, Kentucky, with F.L. McGinnis serving as the project superintendent. One of the notable and distinctive features of the Courthouse is its stained glass window, which showcases the Great Seal of Georgia. Interestingly, this window garnered more renown for the courtroom than some of the typically "sensational" trials that typically attract fleeting attention.</p><br>
<p>The courthouses dedication was commemorated with the laying of the cornerstone at this grand new establishment, organized by the countys Masons on July 15, 1909. Among the items placed within the cornerstone were the History of Summerville Lodge No. 109 F & A. M., a copy of the July edition of The Summerville News, a historical account of the bond election related to the courthouse bonds, various Masonic documents, and several business cards from local businessmen.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>One of the finest buildings in Chattooga County, this courthouse faces the main street of town and is an architectural focal point for Summerville.</p><br>
<p>Dodd Road Discontiguous District is a set of three road segments in Minnesota&#39;s Le Sueur and Rice counties, which were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. They preserve segments of Dodd Road, a private road built by William B. Dodd. It was a privately funded road built between Mendota and St. Peter in 1853, and was a key transportation artery in early south-central Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>Its builder, William B. Dodd, was the founder of the town of St. Peter, Minnesota, as well as a ferry boat operator, land speculator, and a militia captain. Dodd and the other founders of the town knew that steamboat service on the Minnesota River was intermittent, and they figured that a road connection to St. Paul would help their village to flourish. The road-building party started from Mendota in April 1853 and followed high ridges in the land, and reached St. Peter in 109 days. Dodd Road helped to open up territory to settlers immigrating to Minnesota. Dodd later went to New Ulm to help protect settlers in the Dakota War of 1862, and was killed in an ambush. Two years later, in 1864, the Minnesota Central Railroad was built from St. Paul to Faribault and points beyond, which lessened the significance of the road.</p><br>
<p>Historian Scott Anfinson saw William Dodd&#39;s grave in St. Peter, read the inscription of "Builder of the Dodd Road", and decided to research the history of the road. Much of the original route of Dodd Road has been paved and is still signed in West St. Paul, Mendota Heights, Rosemount, Apple Valley, and Lakeville. Three unpaved rural segments were found to have enough resemblance to their original 1853 appearance to merit listing on the National Register. In Le Sueur County, Minnesota, it includes two segments: County Road 148 west of Cleveland, and County Road 136 from MN 13 to Cordova. These are in the vicinities of Cleveland and Kilkenny. In Rice County, Minnesota, it includes former County Road 61 (Circle Lake Trail, Falls Trail, Garfield Avenue, and Groveland Trail) between Millersburg and Shieldsville. This is a 6.8 mi segment.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes three contributing structures on 104 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Barstow Bridge was a historic Pratt pony truss bridge, at US 395 and Co. Rd. 4061, over the Kettle River near Kettle Falls, Washington. It spanned between Ferry County, Washington and Stevens County, Washington.</p><br>
<p>It was a pre-fabricated steel bridge that was a surplus World War II bridge. It was bought from the USA War Assets Administration in 1946 and was installed near the unincorporated community of Barstow in 1947.</p><br>
<p>The historic bridge was removed and replaced in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Adams County Courthouse in Brighton, Colorado, located at 22 S 4th Ave., was built in 1906, and housed the judicial functions of Adams County until the 1970s when the legislation moved out and the building became the Brighton City Hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Its original portion is a two-and-a-half-story brick building built in 1906. It has a red-tiled roof and a cupola rising to 91 ft, which was later removed. The building was nearly doubled in area in 1939 in a Public Works Administration-funded expansion which used matching materials. The expansion created a monumental pedimented Classical Revival entrance with Tuscan columns on the west side of the building. The building is about 139x87 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>The original building was designed by John James Huddart and built by contractor A.B. McDonald. Denver architects Lester L. Jones and</p><br>
<p>Richard O. Parry designed the expansion.</p><br>
<p>The Bryan County Courthouse in Durant, Oklahoma, located at 4th Avenue and Evergreen Street, was built in 1917. It was designed by architect Jewell Hicks. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story courthouse. It was deemed "significant because of its importance to the county&#39;s residents as a center of government, and because it is an elegant example of monumental public architecture. It is particularly notable because its architect was Jewell Hicks, one of the designers of the Oklahoma State Capitol Building."</p><br>
<p>The Colbert Historic District, in Colbert, Georgia, is a historic district, 46 acre in size, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It included 43 contributing buildings. The district is roughly bounded by 4th and 5th Streets, 4th and 8th Avenues.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes:Colbert is a good representative example of Georgias small, turn-of-the-century, Piedmont-area railroad towns. Largely developed after the arrival of the railroad in 1892 but before the boll weevil ruined the areas cotton economy in the late 1920s, it featured a depot, hotel, downtown commercial buildings, a residential neighborhood, and outlying farms. The Colbert Historic District contains extant intact examples of all these locally important buildings, and it illustrates the way in which the community developed.</p><br>
<p>The Almand-O&#39;Kelley-Walker House is a historic house built around 1870 in Conyers, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story folk Victorian frame house on brick piers. It has four original chimneys and six original fireplaces. It has been referred to as a House of Seven Gables.</p><br>
<p>The listing included three contributing buildings and two contributing structures.</p><br>

<p>The Floyd R. Mechem House is a single-family home located at 1402 Hill Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Floyd R. Mechem was born in New York in 1858, and moved to Ann Arbor at a young age. He attended high school in 1874–75, after which he taught himself law. He was admitted to the bar in 1879. He set up a practice in Battle Creek, Michigan, serving as city attorney. In 1887 he moved to Detroit and established the firm of Mechem & Beaumont. In 1892, he was appointed Tappan Professor of Law in the Law Department at the University of Michigan. In 1898, Mechem had this house constructed for him. He lived in it until 1903, when he was appointed professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School. Mecham died in 1928.</p><br>
<p>From 1917 to 1923, this house was the home of Professor Joseph A. Bursley, who was appointed to the mechanical engineering faculty in 1904, and was the universitys first dean of students beginning in 1921. In the mid-1930s, the house was used as a Womens League residence. It was later used as general housing for students.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Mechem House is a two-and-one-half-story wood-frame building with a steeply pitched hip- and cross-gable-roof and Colonial Revival trim. A two-story addition is located in the rear. The exterior walls are covered with clapboard, and it stands on a fieldstone foundation.

<p>The Langford and Lydia McMichael Sutherland Farmstead is a farm located at 797 Textile Road in Pittsfield Charter Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It is now the Sutherland-Wilson Farm Historic Site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1832, Langford and Lydia Sutherland moved from Ontario County, New York, to this farm. They first constructed a log house to live in, then built the Greek Revival-style house that is still on the property. Langford Sutherland died in 1865, after which his son Tobias lived on the farmstead, with his mother and his wife, Harriet Knaouse. Tobias&#39;s son Ernest also lived here with his wife Delia Rheinfrank. Their only child, Mildred, married Arthur Wilson, and their son Harold also lived on the farmstead through 2000. The Sutherland farmstead was owned by the Sutherland family for over one hundred years.</p><br>

<p>The Arnold and Gertrude Goss House is a single-family home located at 3215 W. Dobson Place in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Arnold Goss was born in Laingsburg, Michigan in 1875, and graduated from Albion College. He apprenticed at a Bay City law firm and was admitted to the bar in 1905. He was an executive with William Durant when Durant founded Buick Motor Company and became secretary of the company in 1908. Goss negotiated several key financial deals for the company, including the 1909 acquisition of Cadillac. Goss left General Motors in 1914 and helped bankroll the development of Kelvinator, becoming president of that company when they went public in 1921.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, Goss purchased this 600-acre property near Ann Arbor in part to develop a herd of Jersey cattle. He immediately had this house built, using plans created by Detroit architect George DeWitt Mason. The estate grounds around the residence were designed by Italian landscape architect and director of the Nichols Arboretum, Aubrey Tealdi, in the 1920s. Goss continued to live here until his death in 1938. He was survived by his wife Gertrude and three children. His youngest son, Kelly, moved into the house in the 1960s with his family. Kelly sold off most of the acreage surrounding the house, with only 40 acres left by 1980. In 1985, the house and surrounding five acres was purchased by the Bund family.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Goss House is a two-and-a-half-story clad with cypress clapboard, with elements of both Georgian Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles. It has a symmetrical five-bay facade, and a hip roof with overhanging eaves. The house has a single-story sunroom attached on one side and a porch on the other. The central front door has classical sidelights and transom, and a curved, Federal-style, entry portico. Two, large, 8-over-12, double-hung windows are on either side of the portico. Smaller 8-over-8 windows are above.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, a large center hall runs through from front to rear, and contains a majestic spiral staircase. Off the hall are a living room on one side and dining room on the other. A library is behind the living room, and a sunroom is located off the dining room. To the rear is a large kitchen, made by joining what were originally the kitchen, butlers pantry, and servants dining room. On the second floor is a wide hall, five bedrooms, a sewing room, and a bathroom.</p><br>
<p>The Henry L. and Sarah Dahle House is located in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Henry L. Dahle was a member of a prominent family. His brother, Herman Dahle, would become a member of the United States House of Representatives. Dahle died before the house was completed, but his widow, Sarah, would go on to reside in it and the house remained in the family until the 1990s. In 2003, it was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Herman B. and Anne Marie Dahle House and the Onon B. and Betsy Dahle House, which also belonged to members of the Dahle family, are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Herman B. and Anne Marie Dahle House is a very intact Classical Revival home built in 1911 in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin for one of the city&#39;s prominent citizens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Herman Dahle was born in 1855 to Norwegian immigrant Onon Dahle, who had started a pioneer general store two years before in the nearby community that would become Daleyville. Herman worked for his father in the store, then attended the University of Wisconsin, then worked for his father for three more years. In 1877 he married Anne Marie Kittleson and opened his own general store and mill in Mt. Vernon with help from his father. He developed a local business distributing butter and eggs. In 1887 he moved his family and his general store business to Mount Horeb. In 1891 his brother Theodore joined him in the mercantile business and later brother Henry. In the same year Herman, his father and Tom Lingard incorporated the State Bank of Mt. Horeb. In 1898 Herman was elected as a Republican to the USA House of Representatives, and served two terms. Meanwhile, Herman served as postmaster, was prominent in Mount Horebs Lutheran church, and developed some creamery businesses. He was one of Mount Horebs leading business and civic figures, if not the leader.</p><br>
<p>In 1910 Herman had the house built that is the subject of this article, two blocks from his store. It is 2.5 stories tall, with a foundation of rock-faced brownstone and the upper parts clad in narrow clapboard. It was designed by James O. Gordon of Madison in Classical Revival style, with the front door framed by two two-story Colossal Doric Order columns. Above that is an entablature and pediment surrounding a bulls-eye window. On each side of the columns is a porch with balustrade. Large 2-story bays flank that. The walls are topped with a denticulated frieze, then broad eaves, then a hip roof, broken by gable-roofed dormers. Inside are floors of varnished oak, pocket doors, an elaborate oak staircase, and the dining room with a plate rail, crown moldings, and a beamed ceiling.</p><br>
<p>Herman lived in the house until he died in 1920. His wife Anne Marie lived there until 1951.</p><br>
<p>Later, the house would be used for a number of years as a bed and breakfast. In 2003, it was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Henry L. and Sarah Dahle House and the Onon B. and Betsy Dahle House, which also belonged to members of the Dahle family, are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The John Sweet Donald Farmstead is a historic farm in Springdale, Wisconsin with surviving structures built as early as 1858. It is significant as the home and testing grounds of John Sweet Donald, a farmer, statesman, and educator of the Progressive Era.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Settlement of the Springdale area began around 1845. By the 1850s about 100 Scotch families were settled among other immigrants along the Sugar River. The Rev. James Donald, an immigrant from Scotland, came to serve the Presbyterian parishes at Mount Horeb and Mt. Vernon, and in 1855 he bought 80 acres in the country between the two churches, at the southwest edge of the Scotch settlement. He brought his wife Margaret Strong and three sons. For the first few years they lived in a temporary shelter northwest of the current house, which no longer exists. They dug the well west of the house about 1858, lining it with limestone they quarried, probably right on the farm. They built some log out-buildings, and around 1859 built the first section of the current farmhouse.</p><br>
<p>That first section is now the southernmost 2-story cube with the hip roof - the white structure in the photo. It sits on a limestone rubble foundation. Some of the beams in the basement are rough-hewn, still bearing the marks of an adze. The walls are of wood, filled with brick nogging for insulation. The current wide front porch and the additions to the north were added later, but the library on the second floor was there from the start. Holding Rev. Donald&#39;s classical and religious texts, it was where he prepared his sermons.</p><br>
<p>The farm was run mainly by the son John Strong Donald at that time. The main cash crop was wheat - in 1860, the farm produced 245 bushels. In that year the family had six meat cattle, five pigs, and six milk cows. The cows produced 200 pounds of butter, some of which was sold. Rev. James died in 1866 at 76 years. His son John died just two years later - only 26 years old. A few months later his new wife Ellen Sweet Donald gave birth to John Sweet Donald. Ellen managed the farm with help from her father next door until 1882 when she married John Jones, who ran the gristmill in Mount Vernon. They gradually bought adjacent farms, expanding the whole to 407 acres by the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>During this period the Donald farm transitioned from wheat to dairy, and added buildings. They added a 51-foot "cow barn" in 1875; only its foundation remains. They built the buggy shed around 1887, a tall building with walls of vertical board and batten. A second well was drilled in 1889, and a wood windmill was erected over it. In 1892 they added the horse barn, sixty feet long with timbers joined by mortise and tenon, walls of vertical board, and a gambrel roof topped with a tall wooden ventilator - at right in the photo. Around 1890 they expanded the house with the addition of the rear kitchen wing. The front and side porches were added around the same time, with the scroll-sawn pickets and the quatrefoil decoration in the upper brackets. The washroom beyond the kitchen was added ca. 1892, clad in vertical board and batten.</p><br>
<p>Young John Sweet Donald grew up on the farm. The 1870, census lists only 2-year-old John, his mother, and a schoolteacher as living there. The 1880 census adds his grandfather William Sweet and an aunt. John attended the local school, then graduated from Northwestern Business College in Madison in 1887, then Valparaiso University in 1894, and from the Chicago Dental College with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1897. In 1898, he married Vona DeCrow and began to manage the enlarged farm after his stepfather died. John and Vona had a daughter Delma the following year. In 1906 they had a neighbor build the playhouse/dollhouse east of the house for Delma, with walls of horizontal bark-clad slabs.</p><br>
<p>In 1899, John became town chairman and chaired the Dane County Board of Supervisors. In 1902 he was elected to the Wisconsin Assembly as a Progressive Republican, generally aligning with Robert LaFollette. He was seen as representing the Wisconsin farmer, and from 1903 to 1907 chaired the Assemblys Dairy and Foods Committee, which prepared Wisconsins Pure Foods Act. He was active in bills to regulate railroad rates and to provide for grain inspection. He also supported workmens compensation, income tax reform and primary elections. In 1908 he was elected state senator for Dane County. He chaired the Senates Joint Education Committee, supporting vocation agriculture courses in primary and high schools. He worked for the Good Roads Movement in Wisconsin, supporting the 1908 amendment to the state constitution that allowed the state - not only local governments - to improve roads that were impassable much of the year, allowing agricultural products to reach there markets, among other aims. In 1911 he sponsored the bill to support the centralized highway program, which was called "the Donald Bill." In 1912, he was elected Wisconsin Secretary of State. In that role he initiated a lawsuit which recovered $95,000 in lost fees from the Northern Pacific Railway.</p><br>
<p>John stayed involved with the farm during his political career. He was interested in then-new ideas to make farming more productive. He raised purebred animals: registered shorthorn dairy cattle, Berkshire hogs, and purebred Percheron draft horses. By 1907 he was putting lime on his fields in addition to manure. He started growing alfalfa which improved the soil, and he managed his hay fields to produce three cuttings per year, rather than the usual two. He probably employed a steam tractor on the farm around this time. He built a new dairy barn in 1907 - better lit and better ventilated. He attended meetings on silos when fermented silage was a fairly new and unproven idea, and he had at least one silo built in 1908, aiming to keep his cows producing milk through the winter months.</p><br>
<p>Toward the end of World War I, John went to France to represent YMCA, then served as an ag educator for the Army Education Corps. After he returned from France in 1919 he served briefly as Assistant in Farm Management in the USDA. In 1921 he became assistant professor of agricultural economics at the UW - a farm market specialist. From that position he advocated treating farming as a business, using careful record-keeping to determine the profitability of different parts of a farm.</p><br>
<p>John still owned his own farm through his time in Madison and relied on tenant farmers to operate it. He established a 50/50 shared rent program, with costs and profits shared between tenant and owner. This arrangement gave the tenant more incentive to maintain the farm and stay there than renting did.</p><br>
<p>John retired in 1930 and died four years later. His wife Vona and daughter Delma managed the farm until Vona died in 1973. Velma continued managing the farm until 1998.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and the State Register of Historic Places in 2000, deemed significant:</p><br>
<p>...for its connection to John Sweet Donald, a person important in Wisconsins Progressive era politics and in education. Many surviving features of the farm demonstrate Donalds ideas on farm management.</p><br>
<p>...as a largely-intact example of a turn-of-the-century farmstead in southern Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The Marshallville Commercial District in Marshallville, Georgia is a 7.5 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It includes 15 contributing buildings and runs along Main Street in Marshallville.</p><br>
<p>All of the buildings are one- and two-story brick buildings.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "a cohesive group of Victorian commercial buildings. Although none are outstanding individually, collectively they gain significance as a well-preserved architectural group typical of rural communities."</p><br>
<p>Three more significant ones are:</p><br>

<p>The Adam Dunlap Farmstead, built by a Yankee settler family, was one of the first farms in the Town of Mazomanie, Wisconsin. A number of the original structures, built around 1849 from stone quarried on the farm, are still intact. The farmstead was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, for being a relatively intact homestead of a progressive Yankee pioneer settler, and for the Greek Revival style of the stone farmhouse.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Settlers began to arrive in what would become the Town of Mazomanie in 1844, only twelve years after a key battle of the Black Hawk War was fought three miles northeast of this farm. In 1846 Adam Dunlap and his family started carving out their farm on the east side of a hill overlooking a marsh along what is now called Dunlap Creek marsh. At that time, only two dozen families lived in Roxbury township, which then included both modern Mazomanie and Roxbury.</p><br>
<p>The Dunlaps were Yankees from central New York state, of Scotch descent. With 32-year-old Adam came his wife Harriet, one or two infant children, and his parents John and Nancy. At first they lived in a log cabin, but after a few years Adam hired a stonemason from Honey Creek to build more substantial buildings, and most of them still stand.</p><br>
<p>The large stone house, built around 1849, is 3.5 stories counting the basement story which is exposed from the hillside. Its walls are built from stone blocks quarried on the farm. At ground level the walls are 2.5 feet thick, tapering to 2 feet at the roof line. Characteristic Greek Revival features are the moderately-pitched roof, the frieze board and cornice returns, the symmetrically placed windows, and the transom and sidelights around the front door.</p><br>
<p>Other stone farm buildings were built about 1849 too. The surviving barn is 34 by 40.5 feet, with stone walls 24 feet tall on the sides and a steel roof, with stalls for about 21 dairy cows in the first story, and with a hay mow and grain bins above. Next to that barn are the ruins of a larger 80 by 24 foot stone barn built about the same time, which burned in 1929. The taller section of a stone ice house or spring house was also built around 1849, 14 by 16 feet; the lower section was probably added between 1890 and 1900. This building contains a pipe which delivered spring water, probably to cool milk, butter and cheese. The foundation of the corn crib was also probably laid around 1848, though the upper wooden cage has been rebuilt since.</p><br>
<p>The farm&#39;s first main cash crop was wheat. Wheat was valuable at the time and grew well on the newly-broken ground. The early settlers hoped that the Wisconsin River, just a few miles away, would one day provide easy transport to distant markets. The shallow, shifting sandbars of the Wisconsin never really allowed that, but in 1856 the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad began to stop in Mazomanie, five miles away. Flour mills and creameries soon opened there, creating a convenient market.</p><br>
<p>Adam was industrious and his farm grew rapidly. By 1860 he harvested more wheat than any other farm in Roxbury and Mazomanie. The agricultural censuses of 1850, 1860 and 1870 show the early farm growing and changing as he tried various crops and types of cattle:</p><br>
<p>Adam and Harriet eventually had ten children, of which six survived infancy. Harriet died in 1883. Son John and his family lived with Adam for several years until John died in 1888. Then son Ervin and his family lived with Adam and operated the farm until Adam died in 1901. Ervins son Guy and his family took over in 1909, operating the farm until the 1960s. His daughter Dorothy Dunlap Szudy owned the farm until 1997. After she died, her husband Leonard owned it, with her son Lenny and his family living in the house. The Dunlaps have a private cemetery near the house, where Adam and Harriet, Adams parents, Dorothy, and other relatives are buried.</p><br>
