<p>The M. Armstrong and Company Carriage Factory is a historic carriage factory building at 433 Chapel St. in New Haven, Connecticut. Built in 1882, it is one of a small number of surviving 19th-century carriage factories in a city that once had more than 50 such businesses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former M. Armstrong and Company carriage factory is located in New Haven&#39;s industrial Mill River, on the north side of Church Street between Hamilton and South Wallace Streets. It is a four-story brick structure, roughly 100 x, with a flat roof. Its construction is typical of late 19th-century factories, with rows of sash windows (many now boarded over) set in segmented-arch openings. The long street-facing ground floor level has six bays of grouped casement windows, with the main entrance in a seventh bay at the left end.</p><br>
<p>Montgomery Armstrong was a blacksmith who came to New Haven in 1842, and was probably employed in the citys carriage-making industry. The city was at the time one of the nations leading producers of carriages. In 1859, Armstrong entered a partnership with George and Thomas Alling, owners of a lumber business, and began his own carriage making business. Initially located on Temple Street, the company survived a decline in business brought on by the American Civil War, specializing in high-quality carriages for the New York City hotel trade as well as family-oriented models. The companys construction of this building in 1882 represented part of a shift in the citys industrial production east of the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>The company was taken over by Armstrong&#39;s sons upon is death in 1904, but was unable to survive the shift from carriages to automobiles, and closed in 1927. The next occupant of the building was the John Smith Company, a wire manufacturer who operated on the premises until its closure in 1963. It then housed a variety of smaller industrial businesses.</p><br>
<p>The Brown-Bryson Farm, in Greene County, Georgia near Siloam, Georgia, dates from c.1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The listing included six contributing buildings and five contributing structures on 168 acre.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a one-and-one-half-story Gothic Revival-style cottage with</p><br>
<p>a center-passage plan and a rear kitchen ell.</p><br>
<p>Outbuildings may date from c.1870 when the original main house, which burned in 1873 or 1874, was built.</p><br>
<p>The Bethesda Baptist Church and Cemetery in Greene County, Georgia near Union Point, Georgia was built in 1818. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The listing included two contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and two contributing sites.</p><br>
<p>The complex is located at the junction of County Rd. 120 and County Rd. 129. It includes a two-story brick church from c.1818 built in vernacular Federal style, with brick laid in American bond. Its first floor walls are 18 in thick. It has interior end brick chimneys.</p><br>

<p>Palo Alto Stock Farm Horse Barn, also known as Stanford Red Barn or Stanford Stables, is located at present-day address 621 Fremont Road in Stanford, California. This barn was established c.1878-1880 and is an example of Victorian-era Stick-Eastlake style architecture, though the architect is unknown. Palo Alto Stock Farm Horse Barn has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985. There are only two original buildings left from the Palo Alto Stock Farm: the red barn and the brick stable.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Leland Stanford bought the Mayfield Grange property in 1876, approximately 650 acres along San Francisquito Creek. In the following years, Stanford acquired about 8,000 acres of land in the surrounding area. The red barn was the center of the stock farm in the early years, and additionally there was a carriage house, a colt barn and a training barn. In the 21st century, there are only two original buildings left from the Palo Alto Stock Farm, the red barn and the brick stable.</p><br>
<p>From 1878 to 1880 the barn served as a training stable for the stock farm. In 1877 the stallion Electioneer was brought to the barn and lived there for 14 years, in order to breed and train faster horses. One of the early innovations to come from the farm included a "school" to train 5-month-old colts to trot around a small track to encourage this behavior. Stanford advocated co-educational universities during a time when this was not a popular idea; this may have been partially based on his observing at the barn the relationship of the mother of a colt being trained and its effect on teaching her offspring properly, suggesting the importance of the first five years in a child&#39;s development and the need for an educated mother.</p><br>
<p>In c.1877, photographer Eadweard Muybridge&#39;s series of stop-action photographs of horses running Sallie Gardner at a Gallop was photographed at Palo Alto Stock Farm. In order to take the photograph, Muybridge built a stage with 24 cameras with a trip wire and discover galloping horses did momentarily have all four hooves leave the ground. This discovery was a precursor to the technology for the motion picture industry.</p><br>
<p>By 1903 the farm was closed and the horses sold in order to maintain the university, though by 1946, university president Donald Tresidder reopened the building for equestrian use. In the mid-1980s, the barn became the home of Stanford University&#39;s equestrian team. In 1985, L.W. “Bill” Lane Jr. and their family donated a statue of Electioneer, currently located in the entrance to the equestrian center. In 1983 and in 2004 there were large restorations and renovations of the barn done while maintaining much of the original material, this funded by L.W. “Bill” Lane Jr. and John Arrillaga.</p><br>
<h2>Landmark status</h2><br>
<p>On November 3, 1969, the Office of Historic Preservation designated Eadweard Muybridge and the Development of Motion Pictures as a California historical landmark #834. A description on the commemorative plaque reads: "In commemoration of the motion picture research conducted in 1878 and 1879 by Eadweard Muybridge at the Palo Alto Stock Farm, now the site of Stanford University. This extensive photographic experiment portraying the attitudes of animals in motion was conceived by and executed under the direction and patronage of Leland Stanford. Consecutive instantaneous exposures were provided for a battery of 24 cameras fitted with electroshutters."</p><br>
<p>The Redd Road Rural Historic District is a 1,646 acre historic district in Fayette County, Kentucky and Woodford County, Kentucky which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

<p>It consists of seven adjoining farmsteads.</p><br>
<p>The East Main Street Bridge in Corbin, Kentucky, spanning Lynn Camp Creek between Knox County, Kentucky and Whitley County, Kentucky, was built in 1890. Also known as the Engineers Street Bridge, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is a Pratt truss through truss bridge built by the Louisville Bridge Co. It brings Engineers St. (formerly E. Main St.) across Lynn Camp Creek in Corbin.</p><br>
<p>It was an old bridge of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad which was offered to the city in 1902. They donated the railroad bridge which was moved into place in 1905 as a road bridge, which was later converted to a pedestrian bridge.</p><br>
<p>Weisenberger Mills is the oldest continuously operating grain mill in Kentucky. Located about 3 mi east of Midway, Kentucky, the property straddles Scott and Woodford counties, and the mill is located on the banks of South Elkhorn Creek with a milldam which provides the water to power the mill.</p><br>
<p>Augustus Weisenberger purchased the property with mill in 1865. The current mill building was built in 1913 to replace the old 1818 stone one. The complex includes a 20-foot wheelhouse and a 1904 20,000 bushel ironclad grain elevator.</p><br>
<p>The mill property and related buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, including 14 contributing buildings and two contributing structures on 87 acre.</p><br>
<p>As of 2023, the water-powered mill has been operated as a family business since the 1860s by six generations of Weisenbergers. The mill produces flour, meal, feed and baking mixes which are shipped throughout the country. All of their grains are sourced locally, within 100 miles.</p><br>
<h2>Power generation</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of the 1913 building, the gristmill was powered by a water wheel. The 1913 building was constructed with a twin-turbine electric generator, powered by the river&#39;s water. With expansion of equipment over the years, the mill had to supplement their power needs by purchasing electricity from the local utility.</p><br>
<p>Working again with the consultant who had worked on the turbines in the 1980s, and the Center for Applied Energy Research at the University of Kentucky, Weisenberger Mills received a $56,000 grant from the US Department of Energy to install a variable speed generator like is commonly used in the wind turbine industry but which hadn&#39;t yet been tried in the hydroelectric industry.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, mill owner Mac Weisenberger said that energy they generate but don&#39;t use will go back into the electric grid. The success of the new system has resulted in four similar projects at larger hydroelectric plants on the Kentucky River.</p><br>
<p>The Little Falls Hydroelectric Power Plant, on the Spokane River near Reardan, Washington, about 30 mi west of Spokane was built during 1907–10. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The listing included one contributing building and seven contributing structures on 12 acre. The area spans the border of Lincoln County, Washington and Stevens County, Washington.</p><br>
<p>It includes a 1,716 ft dam.</p><br>
<p>It was described as "a significant low head hydroelectric installation from the early 20th century. Built in 1907-1910, the plant was the first</p><br>
<p>large-scale regional generating facility constructed by the Washington Water Power Company. As such, the plant was critical to the growth of industry and agriculture in the Inland Empire. In addition, the powerhouse is an architecturally significant example of industrial design from the period."</p><br>

<p>The Twin Bridges Rural Historic District is a historic district in Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Pennsbury Township, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017, its nomination asserted that the district "exhibits a cohesive collection of distinctive architectural resources and landscape features that identify it as an important enclave in the Lower Brandywine Creek Valley of the two types of country estates that were being created within the time frame of the American Country Estate Movement."</p><br>
<p>"The Period of Significance for the proposed Twin Bridges Rural Historic District begins in 1914 with the acquisition of the first farm that became part of the Bissell Estate and ends in 1947 when Beverly Farm was broken up and sold, and falls within the period of time (the mid-Nineteenth through the mid-Twentieth Centuries) when wealthy Americans were emulating the English aristocratic lifestyle of refined country living. It includes the years when its three prominent families - the Bissells (1914-1929), the Haskells (1916-1930), and the Holladays (1916-1930) - acquired a number of farms to create their respective country estates."</p><br>
<p>The Ann Arbor Railway Howell Depot is a railroad depot located at 128 Wetmore Street in Howell, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The depot is currently used as the Howell Depot Museum. It is located on the Ann Arbor Railroad main line.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 1880s, Howell was served by one railroad, the Detroit, Lansing and Northern Railroad. In 1885, promoters for a new proposed line, the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railway, raised money to include Howell on the railroad&#39;s route, arguing that having two lines serving the town would reduce prices through competition. This depot was constructed in the fall of 1886 to serve the railroad, and the line was completed a short time later. In 1895, the railway was renamed the Ann Arbor Railroad. The depot was used for passenger service until 1951, when service ceased. The railway continued to use the depot as office space. In 1970, the Howell Area Historical Society purchased the depot and opened it as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ann Arbor Railway Station is a rectangular brick side-gable building measuring 50 feet by 22 feet. It has a bay window located on the track side, with the remaining windows being two over two sliding sash units with arched hoods. The interior has tree room with eighteen foot ceilings. Wainscoting in the rooms is approximately four feet high; and the floor boards are two feet wide.</p><br>

<p>The Little Campus  is a historic district and part of the University of Texas at Austin campus in Austin, Texas. Originally built in 1856 as the Texas Asylum for the Blind, the complex was used for a variety of purposes through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was acquired by the University of Texas after World War I and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On August 16, 1856, the Texas Legislature enacted a measure providing for the establishment of a Texas Asylum for the Blind (now known as the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired) in Austin. The state leased the Neill–Cochran House as a temporary site for the asylum while a permanent building was constructed. The asylum facility was built between 1856 and 1857 at a cost of $12,390. In 1857 the asylum moved into its building, where it operated until the end of the American Civil War in 1865, at which point the campus was commandeered by General George Armstrong Custer, who used the facility as his family&#39;s residence while contributing to the occupation and Reconstruction of Texas.</p><br>
<p>In 1866 the asylum was restored, and it occupied the campus from then until 1915, After the war the School for the Blind relocated to a new and larger campus, and the original asylum facility spent several years housing the Texas State Hospital for the Senile.</p><br>
<h3>Little Campus</h3><br>
<p>In the mid 1920s the growing University of Texas at Austin purchased the campus from the State Hospital system, after which it came to be known as the "Little Campus" (by contrast with the main campus to the northwest). The university built a womens dormitory called the Little Residence Hall and renovated the existing buildings into a mens dormitory. The facility was again commandeered for military training during World War II, reverting to the universitys use after the wars end.</p><br>
<p>On August 13, 1974, the Little Campus was declared a United States historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1987 the area was officially renamed the "Heman Sweatt Campus," in honor of former UT law student and African-American civil rights plaintiff Heman Marion Sweatt.</p><br>
<p>Today, many of the Little Campuss historic structures have been demolished to make room for redevelopment, but two buildings remain: the asylums original building, now known as the Arno Nowotny Building, holds the office of the director of the universitys Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, and John W. Hargis Hall houses the universitys Undergraduate Admissions Center.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original 1857 asylum building (now the Nowotny Building) is a two-story Italianate structure of rough limestone with red brick detailing. The main facade features five sets of paired windows with limestone sills framed in brick and topped with brick segmental arches. The corners are reinforced with brick quoins, and a wide first-story portico extends to both sides of the main entry. A brick cornice marks the roofline, above which the gray metal roof is punctuated by an octagonal Italianate dome. The building was designed and built by Abner H. Cook, an Austin architect who had recently designed the Texas Governor&#39;s Mansion.</p><br>
<p>The other surviving building, Hargis Hall, is a two-story Victorian Italianate structure of tan bricks with limestone detailing formed by the joining of two older buildings, one built in 1889 and one in 1900. The many windows have limestone sills and are topped by limestone segmental arches with distinct keystones. A dark red cornice supports the gray metal roof, from which there rises a square clock tower on one side and a shorter square tower on the other.</p><br>
<p>Posi-ouinge is an archeological site in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico and Taos County, New Mexico near Ojo Caliente. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 for its information potential.</p><br>
<p>The Bureau of Land Management reports:Posi-Ouinge, the Greenness Pueblo, is a large prehistoric village dated to the 13th through the 16th centuries AD. The pueblo may have had well over 2,000 rooms, making it one of the largest in the southwest. The village was inhabited by Tewa Indians whose descendants now live near the Rio Grande in the Espanola area. The word Tewa refers to a group of Puebloan inhabitants living along the northern Rio Grande and speaking a similar language. Today, the pueblo lies above the hot springs resort at Ojo Caliente. A short, self-guided hike beginning just west of the Mineral Spring Hotel takes you up onto the river terrace above and then around the site through room blocks and to vistas with beautiful views of the Ojo Caliente valley.</p><br>
<p>Access to the trail is behind the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort at 50 Los Banos Drive in Ojo Caliente.</p><br>
<p>Gran Quivera Historic District is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>It is within Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, and lies in both Socorro County, New Mexico and Torrance County, New Mexico.</p><br>
<p>Without the National Register nomination document, it is unclear whether the listing is for the Gran Quivira ruins (in which case the listing would be somewhat redundant) or for historic 20th century structures such as a visitors center at the site (like how National Park Service structures are themselves recognized as historic sites at various national parks).</p><br>
<p>The Holdenville City Hall, at 102 Creek St. in Holdenville, Oklahoma, was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>It is a red brick building with prominent stone quoins and other details, and has some architectural pretension, being perhaps Federal-influenced. It was built by contractor Jack Britton for $8,700. It was extended to the rear in 1951 to include a fire department.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes:It is architectually significant because it represents a departure from the typical Victorian Romanesque and Western Commercial styles prevalent in Oklahoma architecture. The attempt to reproduce a more classic style for a public building is the physical evidence of emerging order of a frontier town.</p><br>
<p>The Holdenville Armory, at US 270 and N. Butts St. in Holdenville, Oklahoma, was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1936.</p><br>
<p>Its construction was a Works Progress Administration-funded project. It is a red brick one-story 100x198 ft building with "allusion" to Art Deco style.</p><br>
<p>Its nomination states:As a WPA building, the armory is exceptional for its use of brick construction materials and decorative pilasters. Architecturally it is unique within the Holdenville community in terms of type, allusion to art deco style, scale and character of workmanship. Construction of the armory provided job opportunities for destitute oil field workers at a time when there were few within the region. It is also significant that the building itself contributed to the military preparedness of a National Guard unit that distinguished itself during the course of World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Walter Hurt Cargill House, in Columbus, Georgia, is a Georgian Revival-style house built in about 1918. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is brick, and is a raised one-story cottage. It has a center portico supported by two columns at each end.</p><br>
<p>It was home of Walter H. and Mamie Cargill. Walter was associated with Hardaway-Cargill Co., a local syrup manufacturing firm.</p><br>
<p>It is also a contributing building in the High Uptown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The High Uptown Historic District, in Columbus, Georgia, is a 20 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The listing included 39 contributing buildings and 18 non-contributing ones.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by 2nd and 3rd Avenues between Railroad and 13th Streets.</p><br>
<p>The district included 24 properties already listed on the National Register, including:</p><br>

<p>The Hi Jolly Monument is a grave site in the Hi Jolly Cemetery located at Quartzsite, Arizona, United States, marking the grave of Hi Jolly, a Syrian-born camel driver brought to the United States in 1856 to drive camels for the US Cavalry. The site is located halfway between Phoenix, Arizona, and Los Angeles, California. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Hi Jolly</h2><br>
<p>Hi Jolly was born in Syria in 1828 as Philip Tedro, an Ottoman subject of Syrian and Greek parentage. Upon converting to Islam and making a pilgrimage to Mecca, he became known as Hadji Ali (later Americanized to Hi Jolly). He migrated to the United States in 1856 after being recruited in Smyrna, Greece by the US Army as a camel driver/tender. At the time, the United States Secretary of War Jefferson Davis wanted to try using camel transport to move people and freight over western deserts.</p><br>
<p>Under the command of Lt. Edward Fitzgerald Beale, the United States Camel Corps was initially a success. In June 1857, Hi Jolly was lead camel driver for a round trip between Texas and California. By 1859, however, only Hi Jolly and "Greek George" remained of the ten camel drivers originally hired. After the camel experiment ended, Hi Jolly remained in the southwest, where he became a prospector, desert guide, mail courier, and freight hauler.</p><br>
<h2>Death and monument</h2><br>
<p>Hi Jolly died in December 1902 in Quartzsite, Arizona and was buried there, the first grave in what became Hi Jolly Cemetery. Due to his popularity with the local citizens, they spent weeks building a pyramid monument over his grave made from multi-colored petrified wood and quartz. The cairn was dedicated on January 4, 1903.</p><br>
<p>In 1934, the Arizona Highway Department added a plaque with a synopsis of Hi Jollys life and the metal silhouette of a camel. They also added a vault at the monuments base, in which they placed some memorabilia from Hi Jolly&#39;s life and the ashes of a camel named "Old Topsy", the last camel survivor of the experiment.</p><br>
<p>The plaque was dedicated in 1935 by Arizona governor Benjamin Moeur. The monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The pyramid measures 9 feet at the base on each side and is 8 ft tall. The camel silhouette on the apex is made of steel, 2 ft tall, and faces west. It is located in the older "pioneer section" of the cemetery, marking the first of 124 graves in the section. The cemetery is in a natural desert setting with hard packed dirt, one block off the main street (USA Route 95) in Quartzsite.</p><br>
<p>The plaque on the monument reads:</p><br>
<p>The Virginia Commercial Historic District is a designation applied to the historic downtown of Virginia, Minnesota, United States. It comprises 78 contributing properties built from 1900 to 1941. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 for its local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for representing an early-20th-century business district and Virginia&#39;s development as a mining boomtown and tourism gateway.</p><br>
<p>The Carol Peterson House is located at 172 46th Street in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The house was built in 1886–1887 in the Italianate architectural style, and is named after the architectural historian, Carol Peterson.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of the Peterson House, in the mid-nineteenth century the ground was occupied by a mansion that stretched from Butler Street to the Allegheny River. The mansion was owned by Anna H. Irwin who died around the early 1880s. Following her death, her property was subdivided into building lots that fronted 46th Street. The lot which now stands at 172 46th Street was purchased by David Sisk on June 15, 1886. Records list Sylvanus W. McCluskey as both the building contractor and the architect for the house. Peterson’s works include her Pittsburgh House Histories, which detailed the histories of nearly 2,000 individual houses in the Pittsburgh area. She also co-authored Allegheny City: A History of Pittsburgh’s North Side with the late former Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney. She also made numerous other important contributions to recognizing and preserving Pittsburgh’s history, and received many civic, professional, and preservation awards for her works. Her house was nominated in March 2018 to become a City Historic Landmark by.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed by architect Sylvanus McCluskey in the Italianate architectural style. The examples of the Italianate style can be seen with the symmetry of the primary façade, the one-over-one double-hung windows, and the stone lintels that are flush with the brick façade. In the interior, the four-panel doors with porcelain knobs, the flared newel posts and spindles, the non-symmetrical door and window trim, and the marble and wood mantels with arched openings all are characteristics of Italianate architecture. This style of architecture was made popular through the published works of architect Andrew Jackson Downing in the mid-1880s. Italianate architecture is relatively common throughout Pittsburgh, but the Peterson House maintains a high degree of integrity that is representative of the Lawrenceville row house archetype.</p><br>

<p>The former Presbyterian Church, built 1868–69, and the former elementary school, built 1919, both on School Street, are now residences. The church shows Italianate and Romanesque Revival styles.</p><br>
<p>Located along the Musconetcong River, the Hoffman Grist Mill was built for James M. Hoffman. In 1895, Harry M. Riddle founded the Asbury Graphite Company and converted the mill to a commercial graphite mill. It remained in operation until 1970. The Asbury Graphite Laboratory, located in Bethlehem Township, was built.</p><br>
<p>The New Hampton Pony Pratt Truss Bridge is a historic pony Pratt truss bridge on Shoddy Mill Road in New Hampton of Lebanon Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 3, 1980, for its significance in agriculture, archaeology, architecture, commerce, exploration/settlement, and transportation. It includes 24 contributing buildings and five contributing sites.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The Old Mine Road is a 104 mi long stretch of roads that connect from the Hudson River by Kingston, New York to the Delaware River in Sussex and Warren counties. This district is a linear district along a 26 mi section of the Old Mine Road in Sussex and Warren counties. In this stretch, it is known as County Route 521, Delaware Mine Road, Old Mine Road, River Road and various other local designations.</p><br>
<p>The stretch runs through Montague, Sandyston, Walpack and Hardwick townships. The southern end starts near the Pahaquarry Copper Mine, in what was once Pahaquarry Township, now part of Hardwick Township. The northern end is at the intersection of Old Mine Road, County Route 521, and USA Route 206 in Montague Township.</p><br>
<p>It includes Early Republic, Late Victorian, and Early Colonial Dutch architecture.</p><br>
<p>Van Campen&#39;s Inn, also known as the Isaac Van Campen Inn, was built either by Van Campen or Harmon Rosenkrans. It is a two and one-half story fieldstone building with Georgian and Dutch styling.</p><br>
<p>There are two ferry houses in the Flatbrookville section of Walpack Township, the Decker Ferry House, built, and the Rosenkrans Ferry House, also known as the Smith-Rosenkrans House, built, that contribute to the district. Three houses in the Millbrook section of Hardwick Township, the Colonel Abraham Van Campen House, built, the B. B. Van Campen Farm, also known as the Moses Van Campen House, built, and the Miller House, also known as the James Van Campen Farm, contribute.</p><br>
<p>The Buffalo City Park Pavilion, on US 64 in Buffalo, Oklahoma, was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Harper County, Oklahoma in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a 52x20 ft structure made of wood and coursed native stone, including two bathrooms at each end and an open pavilion area in the middle, built as a Works Progress Administration project. It was deemed:"...exceptionally significant in that it impacted the quality of life within the community. Prior to the 1930s, there were few picnic and other recreational facilities through northwestern Oklahoma, but a people hardened with economic difficulties and drought conditions need moments of rest and relaxation. The Buffalo facility responded to this need, providing an important new dimension to the quality of life. It is exceptionally significant too because it stands as a symbol to a work program that sought to preserve human dignity through meaningful labor. This approach was most important in northwestern Oklahoma where the work ethic was and is extremely strong and those who take "doles" were and are ridiculed. That the WPA was able to operate in this climate, employing hundreds of destitute, was because it understood that work and wages went hand in hand."</p><br>
<p>The Former Pittsburgh Wash House and Public Baths Building is located at 3495 Butler Street in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Built in 1904 in the Romanesque Revival architectural style, the building today serves as office space. The bath house was designated a Pittsburgh historic landmark in 2018 and was listed as a contributing property in the Lawrenceville Historic District in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original idea for the bath house came from the Clothing and House Furnishing Bureau. The group was organized by parishioners from local churches, including St. James Episcopal Church, in 1895. The organization spent the first years of its life providing working-class families with clothing at fair prices. They soon realized that since several families often lived in single-family homes, that this meant that regular and proper bathing was hard to come by. This encouraged the group to purchase land for a bath house in 1901, and construction began in April 1903. Two prominent philanthropists, Henry W. Phipps Jr. and George Westinghouse, helped make the buildings existence possible. Phipps grew up in Allegheny City, now Pittsburghs North Side, and was a neighbor of Andrew Carnegie. Phipps worked as a business partner with Carnegie, and when Carnegie Steel Company was sold, Phipps began making philanthropic donations, although he did not publicize this. One of these donations was to the Pittsburgh Wash House. Phipps initially offered the group constructing the bath house $1,000, but after investigating further and becoming more interested, he offered to fund half of the cost of the building, and half of the first years expenses. Westinghouse was generally against philanthropy as he believed it wasn’t beneficial to the giver or the receiver. Nonetheless, he donated the electric generator and other related equipment which allowed the bath house to also operate a laundry facility. After funding for the project was secured, the Building and Advisory Committees chose the architectural firm Rutan & Russell to design the building. Construction of the building finished the next year, with the public opening held on June 1, 1904, making it the third public wash house in the United States. The building was unique among bath houses, because in addition to offering bathing facilities for men and women, it also offered a means to wash ones clothes, and a clothing exchange and sewing facility. The building also included an assembly room, mens clubrooms, and a day kindergarten. After World War I the number of patrons dropped and by 1928 the bath house had to ask the city council for $2,000 for repairs. In 1929 nearly 1,500,000 baths had been taken in the house, and many others had used the building for other purposes. By the 1950s use started to slow as the Pittsburgh City Council made indoor plumbing and bathing facilities mandatory in every house, and the bath house closed for good on December 7, 1961. Since then the building has been vacant at times and occupied by several different businesses at others. In 2001 it was renovated to house office spaces. The building was nominated in January 2018 to become a City Historic Landmark by.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by architectural firm Rutan & Russell in the Romanesque Revival style. Elements of this style can be seen with the buildings massing, springing arches, as well as the recessed entrance. Rutan & Russell were later recognized for their work contributing to the continuation of this particular style in Pittsburgh. The construction for the building was done by George A. Cochrane, and the plumbing by McFadden & Craig, both of whom had worked on numerous buildings in Pittsburgh previously.</p><br>
<p>The Alonzo W. Olds House, also known as the Albert Read House, is a single family home located at 10084 Rushton Road in Rushton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alonzo W. Olds emigrated from New York state to Michigan in 1833, where he purchased 40 acres of farmland. In 1835, he purchased an additional 80 acres, including the site of this house. He built this Greek Revival home in 1848-49. Olds raised sheep on the property, and constructed a sawmill; by 1850, he owned 440 acres. In 1851, Olds sold his farmstead to Warren Clark, and moved on to build up another extensive farmstead nearby. Clark farmed the land until 1863, when he sold it to William Read.</p><br>
<p>William Read died in 1888, passing the house and farm on to his wife Mary. When she died in 1900, their son Albert purchased the farm. He farmed the land until his death, when it was passed on to his son, Albert Jr. He farmed the land until his death in 1975, after which his wife Harriet lived in the house. In the early 1980s, much of the farmland was used to develop the Centennial Farms Adult Community. Harriet Read continued to live in the house until her own death in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Alonzo W. Olds House is a handsome, classical Greek Revival house, formally composed with a narrow two-story central section fronted with a tetra-style Ionic portico, and symmetric one-story wings with hipped roofs to each side. It is a frame house, with flush siding under the portico and clapboard covering the rest of the building. The portico is supported with fluted columns, and the main cornice and the cornice over the entrance have a dentil course; the architrave of the portico and the wings have similar dentilation. The corner boards on the wings are wide to match the portico.</p><br>
<p>The wings were once topped with symmetrical parapets, but these were removed in the early 1920s. The original wood shingles on the roof were replaced with asphalt roofing after a fire on the roof in 1939 or 1940. A kitchen and family room wing has been added to the rear of the house, as well as a garage.</p><br>
<p>The Bingham House is a single-family home located at 13270 Silver Lake Road in Brighton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kinsley S. Bingham was born in Onondaga County, New York, in 1808. In his younger years, he studied law, but practiced farming. In 1833, he married and moved to Michigan, moving into a double log cabin with his wifes brother. Unfortunately, Binghams wife died giving birth to a son, and the boy was sent back to New York to be raised by his grandparents. Bingham began a political career in Michigan, serving as postmaster, justice of the peace, captain of militia, and, in 1836, as the countys first probate judge. In 1837 he was elected to the Michigan State House of Representatives, eventually becoming Speaker. In 1839, he married his first wifes sister. As his new family grew, Bingham made plans to move out of the old double log cabin. He had this frame house constructed in 1841, and the family likely moved in the following year.</p><br>
<p>In 1847, Bingham was elected to the United States Congress, and in 1854 was nominated by the nascent Republican Party as their first Michigan gubernatorial candidate. He served two terms as governor, then in 1859 was elected to the United States Senate. He died in 1861 at home, and was buried behind the house near his wife. The graves were moved to a public cemetery later.</p><br>

Gables abound on the home at various levels; three are formed on each side of the house to terminate the bay windows at the roof. "Butterfly wings" drape the sides of the bay windows at the second floor; the wings are the work of Buckner. The porch is trimmed with "Dumbbell" dowels and gingerbread trim; it is rounded at the corner toward the rear of the home. The yard is nicely landscaped and outlined by an iron fence in front.The interior brings the home alive. The woodwork of Buckner is found in almost every room. The local carpenter had a unique style which included simple geometric designs and carvings of floral patterns. The majority of his work was done in oak and other hardwoods. In the parlor is an elaborately carved aantel, the most attractive piece of his work in the house. The mantel is about eight feet high of carved oak. Buckner placed a tilting beveled mirror above the fireplace which is outlined in tile and covered by a brass grate. Another mantel of lesser proportion but similar pattern is found in the sitting room. Various pieces of Buckner&#39;s furniture are also to be found in the home.</p><br>
<p>The Harrison-Gibson House, at 309 11th St. in Columbus, Georgia, was built around 1896. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story Victorian Gothic-style house with hipped and gable roof.</p><br>

<p>The Livingston County Courthouse is a government building located at 200 East Grand River Avenue in Howell, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first European settlers in what is now Livingston County, Michigan arrived in the 1820s. However, the population grew rapidly, and in 1833 Livingston County was created, and its government was organized in 1836. The two-year-old village of Howell was chosen as the county seat, due to its central location. However, many county residents protested the designation, and the county had to rent rooms to use as offices. It was not until 1847 that the first county courthouse was constructed. This building served until 1874, when it was replaced.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1880s county officials realized that the new 1874 courthouse was too small for the county&#39;s needs. The county rented office space from nearby businesses, and prisoners were housed at the county jail in neighboring Shiawassee County. The county Board of Commissioners formed a building committee, which recommended a new facility, and voters approved the proposal in 1889. The county hired Detroit architect Albert E. French to design a new courthouse; construction started in 1889 and was completed in 1890. In the early 1970s, the county considered replacing the courthouse, but renovated it instead.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Livingston County Courthouse is a two-and-one-half story brick structure with a half-basement of rough-cut limestone ashlar. The building is relatively symmetrical, spanning five bays on the east and west facades and seven bays at the north and south. The three center bays on the north and south project slightly. A limestone ashlar belt course demarcates the first and second floors; limestone is also used for the entryway arches, lintels, and window hoods. The building is topped with a multi-gabled hip roof and a central clock tower.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains oak and maple woodwork, which is of particularly fine quality in the circuit courtroom, which contains the original judge&#39;s desk, carved railing, spectator seats, and wainscoting, as well as bookcases and a carved oak wall clock. Many interior entryways are richly carved with floral decorations and gargoyles. Walls in many of the public areas are decorated with unusual floral adamants.</p><br>
<p>The August Westphal Farmstead is a group of farm buildings located at 6430 Brighton Road near Brighton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>August Westphal was born in 1833 in Germany, and arrived in this area with his parents in 1844. In 1853 he purchased the first 80 acres of this farmstead, and in 1855 he married Friederike Wilhelmine Christiane Grundmann. The couple eventually had nine children. They originally lived in a small frame house located northwest of the present farmhouse. In 1868 they built a large barn on the farm, and in 1875 constructed the Italianate farmhouse. The farm prospered, and Westphal eventually owned 205 acres.</p><br>
<p>In 1916, the Westphals retired and moved to another house, selling the farm to Conrad Seim, another German immigrant. The Seim family farmed the property until 1967, when the land was sold to a developer. The farmhouse and surrounding buildings remain on a four-acre parcel.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The August Westphal Farmstead contains a large farmhouse, two barns, a corn crib and wagon shed, chicken coop, smokehouse, privy, and water-shed, all located in a cluster.

<p>The American Mills Web Shop is a historic industrial complex at Orange Avenue and Front Street in West Haven, Connecticut. Developed between 1903 and 1914, it is an example of industrial development of the period. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The American Mills Web Shop is located in West Haven&#39;s northeastern Allingtown section, extending east and south at the junction of Front Street and Orange Avenue (United States Route 1). The principal elements of the complex are a large weave shed, a single story structure extending along Front Street, and the administrative building, which faces Orange Avenue and is two stories in height. A smokestack and boiler room are located behind these buildings; a more extensive set of outbuildings once also occupied the roughly 5 acre parcel, but have been demolished. The weave shed has a particularly well-preserved sawtooth roof, a period innovation that brought daylight to the interiors of large industrial spaces.</p><br>
<p>The complex was begun in 1903 by the Narrow Fabrics Company, which specialized in manufacturing elastic fabrics used in applications such as industrial machine belts, zipper backings, brake linings, and automotive safety belts. The company grew rapidly, enlarging the plant substantially in 1909 and 1914. In 1914, a series of corporate mergers was accompanied by a name change to the American Mills Web Company.

<p>The Western House, also known as the Brighton Hotel, is a former hotel and boarding house at 500 West Main Street in Brighton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The building now houses the Brewery Becker.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brighton was first settled in 1832, and became an established stagecoach stop and market center for southeastern Livingston County. In 1871, the Detroit, Lansing and Northern Railroad constructed a line through Brighton, which brought an economic boom to the city. To take advantage of the transient population brought by the railroad, Asa</p><br>
<p>Rounsifer constructed the building in 1873 as a hotel near the depot. Rounsifer was a Dutch immigrant and local farmer. Possibly due to the Panic of 1873, the Rounsifer family suffered financial setbacks and in 1874 sold the hotel to Johannah and A.W. Smith, who renamed it the Western House and added a livery stable to the property. A few years later the hotel was purchased by Joseph B. Skilbeck, an English boot and shoe manufacturer.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was later purchased by Sarah and LeRoy King and was a financial success as a hotel, restaurant, and social center for parties, until Brighton decided to go dry in 1908. The Western House remained in business as a boarding house with an occasional restaurant, although the halting of rail passenger service in 1948 reduced its customer base. In later years it was a bar and rooming house. In 1985, the building was rehabilitated to provide office space on the ground level and rooms for rent on the upper floors. The Brewery Becker opened in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Western House is a three-story roughly cubical Italianate brick structure standing on a corner lot. It has a high degree of architectural integrity for a building from this time period, maintaining a simple cornice, and the original arrangement of doors and windows in the main facades.
