<p>Elmwood-St. Joseph Municipal Cemetery is located in Mason City, Iowa, United States. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first cemetery in the city was a small burial ground established in 1853 in the northeast section of town. Elmwood Cemetery began on May 11, 1867, when the Mason City Cemetery Association bought 5 acres of land from John Dexter on the citys southwest side. St. Joseph Cemetery was established just north of the Mason City Cemetery in 1875. The bodies from the cemetery on the northeast side of town were relocated to Mason City Cemetery in 1893, and its name was changed to Elmwood the following year. The first of Elmwoods seven mausoleums was completed in 1908. Mason City took over operations of both cemeteries in 1949 when they were deeded to the city and Elmwood-St. Joseph Municipal Cemetery was created. In 1958, the low areas of the cemetery were filled in, and the water pond was created simultaneously. The cemeterys office building was also constructed in 1958. The cemetery contains the graves of many of the communitys pioneers, city founders, and civic leaders. There are military veterans from the American Civil War to the present.</p><br>

<p>The Our Lady of the Assumption School is a historic Black Catholic school complex located at 410 North Michaud Street in Carencro, Louisiana, United States.</p><br>
<p>The school complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school building itself was erected in 1934 with funds from St Katharine Drexel, and was roughly doubled in size in 1940, with other additions dating to the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The original 1934 building was a small frame rectangular building with a small portico. The interior consisted of a single classroom.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, two school buildings of three rooms, from a closed school, were attached to the left and to the right of the original one. In 1953, another classroom was added to the rear. In the mid 1950s, a kitchen/cafeteria was added to the south side of the building.</p><br>
<p>Other three buildings inside the complex are closely related to the school and are considered contributing properties of the 3.31 acre historic area:</p><br>
<p>Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, 30.32602&deg; latitude, -92.04292&deg; longitude, built in 1925, is a one-story church building featuring a low tower. It was originally a frame structure.</p><br>
<p>The church Rectory, 30.32578&deg; latitude, -92.04299&deg; longitude, a one-story frame bungalow which was most probably built at the same time of the church.</p><br>
<p>The Convent, 30.32601&deg; latitude, -92.04252&deg; longitude, built in the 1940s, is a one-story frame building which was originally subdivided in small dorms for nuns. It was specifically built to host school personnel.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Blakeslee House was a historic house at 1211 Barnes Road in Wallingford, Connecticut. Built in 1780, it was a good example of a late 18th-century Cape style residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It collapsed and was demolished in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Joseph Blakeslee House stood at the northeast corner of Barnes Road (Connecticut Route 68) and Research Parkway in northeastern Wallingford. The parcel which it stood is nearly surrounded by commercial development. It was a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. It was oriented facing east, with a low stone retaining wall in front. Its main facade was three bays wide, with a center entrance that was once topped by a four-light transom window. The trim at the building corners and around the window and door openings was simple. The interior followed a fairly typical period central chimney plan, although the place typically occupied by a staircase in the entrance vestibule contained a closet. The staircase to the attic was located in the rear of the house, between the kitchen and buttery.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1780 by Joseph Blakeslee, a veteran of the French and Indian War. He was forced to sell it soon afterward, apparently suffering economically from the ongoing American Revolutionary War. The property was bought back into the family by his son in 1793, who was a farmer of middling success. The farm remained in the Blakeslee family until 1900, when it was bought by the Barnes family. The bulk of the farm was sold for development in 1963, the house parcel remaining set off and eventually acquired by the local historical society. At the time of its National Register listing in 1998, it was in deteriorated condition, with its roof in imminent failure. It subsequently collapsed and was demolished in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Timothy Bradley House is a historic house at 12 Bradley Street in Branford, Connecticut. Probably built c. 1730, it is one of Branford&#39;s handful of surviving 18th-century houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Timothy Bradley House is located west of Branford&#39;s center, on the north side of Bradley Street, between North Harbor and Main Streets in the Canoe Brook Historic District. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a frieze and projecting cornice. Windows are placed symmetrically around the entrance, and are simply trimmed.</p><br>
<p>The exact construction date of the house is not known. Based on stylistic architectural evidence suggestive of the late Second Period of colonial architecture, architectural historian J. Frederick Kelly assigned it a date of about 1730. This would be consistent with being built not long after the marriage of Rachel Swaine (daughter of the landowner at the time) to Joseph Browne. The property was acquired by Timothy Bradley in 1778, and remained in that family for over a century.</p><br>
<p>The Bellview School near Pikeville, Tennessee is a rural schoolhouse built in 1928, later used as a community center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>

<p>The Aaron Bronson House is a historic house at 846 Southford Road in Southbury, Connecticut. Built in around the year 1785, it is a good local example of a Colonial-style Cape, noted for its particularly fine and well-preserved interior. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Aaron Bronson House stands on the south side of Southford Road (Connecticut Route 67), southeast of Southbury&#39;s village center. Its main block is a -story wood-frame structure, with a central chimney and clapboarded exterior. A 19th-century ell extends to the rear, with a second, more modern ell, attached to it. The main facade is five bays wide, and is minimally adorned with just a Greek Revival entrance surround. The interior retains virtually all of its original Federal-style finishes, including paneled and pilastered fireplace surrounds, beaded moulding, and builtin cabinetry.</p><br>
<p>The early history of this house is not known in great detail; it was most likely built about 1785, based on its traditional Colonial form and early Federal period interior. The property was associated for many years with the locally prominent Bronson family, who were early colonial settlers of the region. Aaron Bronson, who was known to own it in the early 19th century, was a successful cordwainer (shoemaker) and buttonmaker, who left a substantial estate on his death in 1835. His son, Augustus, sold the house out of the family in 1847.</p><br>

<p>The Samuel Hall House is a Greek Revival-styled farmhouse built in 1856 in Albion, Dane County, Wisconsin. It was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Samuel Hall was born in Derbyshire, England in 1818. After farming there, he emigrated to America, and by 1844 he and his brother George were in Milwaukee. There they joined a party of English immigrants, also from Derbyshire, and they all came out to Albion Prairie, where the first whites had settled only three years before. These English arrivals mostly settled in a group. Some were skilled in masonry and in 1847 they built a brick church for their Primitive Methodist congregation. Samuel Hall was a member and helped with the project.</p><br>
<p>Early on, Samuel, his wife Sara, and his brother George lived with Isaac Bunting on the farm. In 1854 they bought the farm from Isaac: 233 acres. George and Samuel then split the farm, with Samuel getting 100 acres.</p><br>
<p>By 1856 Samuel was well-off enough to build a substantial house. The main block of the current house is the original house - a simple rectangle, two stories tall, with walls of coursed limestone. The style is Greek Revival, with the characteristic low-pitched roof, the cornice returns, and the symmetric placement of windows and door. Inside is a central staircase, typical for Greek Revival. A parlor on the first floor has elaborate baseboards and window trim. The rest of the house is trimmed more simply. The house originally had a summer kitchen as an ell where the stone wing is now - one story, built of wood.</p><br>
<p>Samuel&#39;s wife Sarah died in 1865. When she died, Samuel hired Ann Wright as a helper. They married the following year, and eventually had three children.</p><br>
<p>In 1867 Hall tore down the original summer kitchen and replaced it with a two-story ell with limestone walls like the original block, but simpler styling. An open porch runs along the side of the added wing. A one-story wing holding the kitchen was added at the same time.</p><br>
<p>The Primitive Methodist Church held its Sunday School Anniversary and Picnic on July 4 in Samuel&#39;s grove of trees. The Edgerton Independent announced the picnic in 1877: Singing and speaking will commence at 9:30 a.m. after which there will be a table picnic provided by the ladies on the prairie, assisted by all who may come with their pies and cakes to make it a grand social gathering. After dinner, plays and sports of different kinds will commence, such as foot, wheel-barrow and sack racing, playing ball, dropping the handkerchief, old Miller, duck under the water kit, and many other plays that we are unable to think of, but be assured that the people of Albion Prairie know how to have a good time, and are bound to have it if the weather permits.</p><br>
<p>The farm includes some agricultural buildings. A 30-foot pig barn was built of limestone at the same time as the house and still stands. There is also a 90-foot wooden dairy barn and concrete silo built before the 1930s. Northeast of the barn is an 80-foot tobacco shed. There is also a poultry barn and various sheds.</p><br>
<p>Samuel died of pneumonia in 1888. His son George, 18 years old, quit school to take over the farm. He inherited both his fathers and uncles farms, and grew tobacco, grain, and hay, and raised pure-bred short-horned cattle and Polish China hogs. Descendants of Sam Hall farmed until 1951 - then rented out the farm.</p><br>
<p>The Hoff Department Store is a 1916 Commercial-style building that spans a full block of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin&#39;s Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1866, George Burrows established a one-story general store at "The Corners." It was the first business in the area, and served the rural community with food, hardware, clothes, and a post office for years. But in 1881 the railroad built a depot southwest of the Corners. In response, the Burrows store was moved, along with most of the other businesses, closer to the depot, to the site now occupied by the Hoff store.</p><br>
<p>In 1887 Norwegian immigrant Andrew Hoff and his brother-in-law Adolph Elver bought the Burrows store, and operated it for years. But the community continued to grow. In 1905 Hoff expanded the store, and from 1916 to 1917 he completely rebuilt it to the large brick building that stands today. The store remained in operation until 1984.</p><br>
<p>In 1989, the building was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Hunt House is located in Rutland, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed by Sereno W. Graves, later a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>

<p>The Gaute Ingebretson Loft House is a log house in a traditional Norwegian folk style built in Dunkirk, Wisconsin around 1844. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Gaute Ingebretson immigrated from Tinn, Norway in the spring of 1843. Arriving in Wisconsin, he initially went to Muskego where other immigrants from Tinn had settled, but he felt that the land was too poor and marshy, so he moved on to the Koshkonong area. In August, near where his loft house stands today, he found three other immigrants from Tinn who had recently settled. He joined them, buying 160 acres for $200.</p><br>
<p>Around 1844 he built his loft house. It is one story with an attic, with walls of horizontal rough-hewn red oak timbers, with the corners joined by dovetails and the gaps between logs filled with chinking strips and mortar. On the east end the second story overhangs five and a half feet beyond the first story, supported by posts. The building follows a traditional Norwegian folk form that probably dates from the late 1500s. The only other similar loft structure in the state is the Lisbakken Stabbar at Old World Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The Iverson-Johnson House is a well-preserved historic house with unusual dragon-head decorations, built in 1898 in Stoughton, Wisconsin. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 and on the State Register of Historic Places the following year.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Michael Iverson was born near Bergen, Norway in 1861. He studied medicine in Norway and Germany, then immigrated to America in 1891. In 1894 he established a practice in the heavily Norwegian-American community of Stoughton. By 1898 he was successful enough to build a large, stylish new home at 327 E. Washington.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by A.E. Ovran, two stories tall, built of wood with a hip roof and four gables. Jutting up from each gable peak is a narrow carved dragon head, said to be considered good luck by Norwegians at that time. Beneath the dragon heads, the gable ends are decorated with bargeboards and carved crosspieces. One window on the house is different - supposedly from the first church to use glass windows in Norway - inscribed "1700." At one corner of the building is a round greenhouse. At the side entrance is a speaking tube through which patients could talk with Dr. Iverson in his bedroom at night, before the arrival of the telephone. Inside, the rooms originally included a parlor, a music room, the doctors office, and a maids room.</p><br>
<p>Iverson and his family lived in the house for seven years. In 1904 he established the Scandinavian-American Hospital in Stoughton, which eventually became Stoughton Community Hospital. It wasn&#39;t financially successful at first and he moved his family to the hospital in 1905, both to save money and for convenience.</p><br>
<p>Peter Norman Johnson bought the house from Iverson in 1905. Johnson was another Norwegian, who arrived in 1849 and prospered in farming. He retired to the Iverson-Johnson house, and his daughter was still living there in 1988 when it was added to the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The Gulbrand and Bertha Jensvold House is a historic farmhouse built in 1868–69 in Perry, Wisconsin. It was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2007 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gulbrand Jensvold was born in Norway in 1841, and trained there as a schoolteacher. In 1866 he arrived in the Norwegian-American community at Daleyville and was hired to teach at the parochial school attached to the Perry Lutheran Church. In addition to teaching, he served as "klokker," a sort of pastor&#39;s assistant who led prayers and singing at worship, rang the church bell, and performed other duties.</p><br>
<p>In 1868, Gulbrand married Bertha Gaarder, another recent immigrant from Norway, and they bought an 80-acre farm. In the following year they took a $700 mortgage on the farm to build a new house, right across the road from the church.</p><br>
<p>The house is two stories, with walls of coursed ashlar limestone blocks with raised mortar joints. The walls are topped with a frieze board under the eaves, then a gable roof. The main block can be classed an I-house, one room deep with the front door leading to a hall with one room on each side. The front of the house is symmetric with the door in the center, a window on each side, and a large round-topped window in the gable directly above the door. That prominent window can be interpreted as a lunette-shaped transom over a rectangular window, or as a Christian cross facing the klokker&#39;s church. The opening may also have once held a French door which opened onto a balcony above the flat-topped porch which once sheltered the front door. The relatively steep gable around the upper window seems to come from Gothic Revival style. Behind the front block a kitchen wing reaches south, with porches on each side.</p><br>
<p>By 1878 Gulbrand and Bertha had five children. In that year, a deadly tornado passed through the community, tearing the roof off the Jensvold house and damaging the stone walls. It also destroyed the farm buildings and killed some livestock. It killed five people around Daleyville, but the Jensvolds were safe and they rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>Gulbrand died in 1882. Bertha and the children lived in the house until 1903, when Halver Anderson bought the farm. The house was occupied until the 1960s, then stood empty and largely unmaintained until it was nominated to the NRHP in 2008.</p><br>

<p>Built in c.1910 by Mrs. Marguerite Helena Roy St. Julien, widow of Gustave St. Julien, the house is a -story building in Queen Anne-Colonial Revival style, which was built as a copy of the nearby Comeaux House except for the turret and the cupola. Like the building it was replicating, the house was converted to a restaurant in 1979 with small alterations which did not affect its main architectural features.</p><br>

<p>The Bullet Hill School is a historic school building on Main Street in Southbury, Connecticut. Built in the last decade of the 18th century, it is one of the oldest brick school buildings in the state of Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bullet Hill School is located near the southern end of Southbury&#39;s Main Street Historic District, on the west side of Main Street (United States Route 6) a short way north of its junction with Old Waterbury Road. It is a 2-1/2 story structure, built with load-bearing brick walls laid in Flemish bond and covered by a hip roof. At the center of the roof is a square belfry with round-arch louvered openings, capped by a projecting cornice, cupola, and weathervane. The main facade is five bays wide, with windows arranged symmetrically around the entrance. The entrance is sheltered by a late 19th-century Victorian hood, with heavy scrolled brackets and a pedimented gable.</p><br>
<p>The school was built sometime in the late 18th century; the town is documented as having paid for repairs to the building in 1800. It was originally used as a schoolroom on the ground floor and a meeting space on the second floor. It served as a school until 1942, at which time the town decided to preserve it as a local historical monument.</p><br>

<p>The I.O.O.F. Valley Junction Lodge Hall No. 604 is a historic building located in West Des Moines, Iowa, United States. C.S. Yeaton had the two-story brick commercial building constructed from 1897 to 1898. Des Moines architect C.C. Cross was responsible for the design of the Italianate structure. The International Order of Odd Fellows took possession of the building in 1907. A single-story addition was added behind 218 Fifth Street sometime before 1920, and the current storefronts were in place before 1968. The commercial space on the main floor housed a grocer, various hardware stores, and a dry cleaners over the years. The fraternal organization occupied the second floor. The tripartite main facade features two mirror halves. The floor levels in the two storefronts are raised, which is an unusual feature in the surrounding commercial district. The month before it had been included as a contributing property in the Valley Junction Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Vermilion Inn, better known as Café Vermilionville, is a historic building located at 1304 Pinhook Road in Lafayette, Louisiana, United States.</p><br>
<p>Built c.1835, the inn is a two-story Greek Revival structure located near the bank of Vermilion River. Originally in a rural landscape, it&#39;s now located in the middle of expanding suburbs of Lafayette. The area where it is located was the site of the Battle of Vermilion Bayou of 1863, at which time the structure was occupied by Union troops.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Valley Junction Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in West Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. At the time of its nomination it consisted of 72 resources, which included 53 contributing buildings, 17 non-contributing buildings, and two non-contributing structures. What is now the city of West Des Moines was incorporated as Valley Junction in 1893. Its central business district, which is the subject of this historic district, developed near the depot of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. The railroad also had their shops  to the southwest of the district in an angle formed by the junction. The linear historic district is composed of most of three blocks of Fifth Street and parts of two cross streets.</p><br>
<p>The buildings are largely one and two stories in height, with one three-story structure. For the most part, the buildings are composed of brick with little to no pressed tin cornices or storefronts of ornamental cast ironwork. Decorative work here features corbelled brick cornices, ornamental blank recessed panels at the parapets, panel and pilaster facade combinations, and a limited but varied range of brick colors. The older buildings (1893-1901) tend to be on the south side of the district. Many of the newer buildings on the north have an inter-war feeling with structures in the Moderne and Art Deco styles. After World War II concrete block construction was more prevalent. The I.O.O.F. Valley Junction Lodge Hall No. 604 (1898) and the Valley Junction-West Des Moines City Hall and Engine House (1901) are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Stockbridge Town Hall is a government building located at 101 South Clinton Street in Stockbridge, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Settlement in Stockbridge Township began in 1834, and the township itself was established as a governmental unit in 1836. The village of Stockbridge was platted in 1842, but grew slowly until the construction of the railroad in the 1880s. Until that time, township meetings were held in a school house, or the town clerk&#39;s office, but with the 1880s growth came a need for a dedicated town hall. Voters authorized construction of a building, and architect Elijah E. Myers was hired to draft plans for the building. Construction began in 1892 and was completed the following year.</p><br>
<p>The building contained an auditorium which was designed as a community gathering place for stage productions and lectures. The auditorium has been used as a movie house in the 1940s and a concert venue in the 1960s. The building was restored in 1982. It is still used by the township.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Stockbridge Town Hall is an asymmetrical two-story, red brick, hip-roof structure on a high cut stone foundation. The main facade has two octagonal corner towers, one turreted and a full story taller than the other one. In between is a shingled end-gable entrance pavilion with a broad, arched entrance approached by a staircase. The staircase is flanked by clapboarded sheds which cover stairs down to basement-level entrances. The side elevations both have a slightly projecting central gable containing a broad, round-head window, and flanking, smaller round-head windows.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains two rooms in the basement used for township offices, and a larger open area used for meetings and voting. The basement also contains a furnace room, bathrooms, and a kitchen located in a former lobby. The upper floor is entirely filled with an auditorium, and its associated entrance hall. The auditorium is a square space with a stage at one end and a gallery above the entrance hall. The stage contains a painted roll curtain, depicting a scene on the shore of a mountain lake.</p><br>
<p>The Friderich Kohlmann House is a stone farmhouse built by a German settler in 1867 in Berry, Wisconsin. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Friederich Kohlmann immigrated from Germany to Wisconsin with his parents in 1847. His father was murdered shortly after their arrival. In 1850 Friederich married Elizabeth Setimann. Later he served in the Civil War. Before building this stone house they lived in a log cabin on the west end of Indian Lake.</p><br>
<p>In 1867 they had the surviving house built, with stone carried in by Indians. It stands 2.5 stories tall, with walls of uncoursed fieldstone which Kohlmann original plastered over with a stucco-like finish. The windows have cut stone sills and lintels. The windows were originally flanked by wooden shutters and a narrow porch ran the length of the house, perhaps similar to the one recently added.</p><br>
<p>Friederich helped found St. John&#39;s Evangelical Church in Roxbury. His descendants owned the house until 1974.</p><br>
<p>The house is significant as a good example of the masonry built by German immigrants in the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>Library Park is the village green in Belleville, Wisconsin, platted in 1851, to which the two-story cream brick village hall was added in 1894. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main building in the park is the former Belleville Village Hall, built in 1894. It was also used as a firehouse, jail and a public library. Aside from the Village Hall, the park itself has been important to the community, hosting high school commencements, picnics, band concerts, 4 July celebrations, and ice cream socials. In the 1930s and &#39;40s village merchants offered free movies in the park on Saturday evenings in summer. The School Fair was also held there, with cattle tied around waiting to be judged.</p><br>
<p>In 1960, the library was moved to a different location and in 1998, the Belleville Historical Society acquired the building. Also in the park is a historic pump house and a more-recently built gazebo, fountain and memorial plaque.</p><br>
<p>The Aslak Lie Cabin in Springdale, Wisconsin was built in 1848 by a Norwegian immigrant master craftsman who mixed traditional techniques from the old country with newer American ways of building. The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Aslak Oleson Lie was born in 1798 at Hofseie, South Aurdahl, Norway - born into a family of poor landless laborers who moved between farms every year or two. Aslak learned to read and write and became a corporal in a musketry corps. By 1820 he had established a reputation as a craftsman, and in 1828 carved the organ case for the Bagn church. He also built furniture and he was an early experimenter in his Valdres region with veneer and designs with contrasting woods. In 1826 he married Marit Knudsdatter Dølven, a daughter of a wealthy landowner - a remarkable jump in social status.</p><br>
<p>The year he was married, Aslak built a small log house near Reinli - three rooms, one story, with a large corner fireplace in a living room/kitchen, with two small bedrooms. In 1837 he built another more modern house on land he owned himself, L-shaped with log walls covered with beaded vertical boards and a "shocking" diamond-shaped window in the gable. Inside, the room layout was unconventional for rural Norway at that time, but it had a sval, an exterior hallway connecting the rooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1848, at age 50, Aslak emigrated from Norway with his wife Marit, six children, and his brother and sister-in-law. In May they sailed out of Bergen with a shipload of others from their part of Norway and arrived in New York on June 28. They passed Koshkonong, the "Queen of Norwegian-American settlements," and came to western Dane County, where only a few Norwegians had settled at that time.</p><br>
<p>Aslak chose to build his cabin on a south-facing slope above a marsh that feeds the Sugar River. The basement may have started as a natural depression in the rock. It is said that Aslak and his brother lived in a dugout the first winter there, and the dugout may have been expanded into a basement by quarrying shelves and platforms from the natural rock.</p><br>
<p>Aslak built the first story in a Norwegian folk style: horizontal logs joined at the corners with chiseled dovetail joints, with cracks chinked with wood strips and probably mortar or clay. Especially on the inside he carefully created a smooth surface, leaving little need for plaster. The first story had two rooms divided by a log wall: a living room and a kitchen, probably with a wood-burning stove right from the start. Aslak installed traditional Norwegian double casement windows in the log first story. He built a sval across the front of the house, just like his second house in Norway. And the diamond-shape from his house in Norway appears in the door panels of his house in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The second story is quite different from the first. It may be that the oak logs of Dane County were harder to work with than Norwegian fir and spruce, so he adjusted his construction technique. Instead of logs, the second story is timber-framed in oak, then clad in vertical boards. The second-floor windows are American-style double-hung. The second story was divided into two rooms: a heated bedroom and a "cold storage room" where they kept food, clothes and furniture.</p><br>
<p>Aslak was also a leader - not just a builder. Over the years he attracted other immigrants to the area, and helped them with gifts of clothing and food. He built houses and cabinets for many. He wrote for Norwegian-language Midwestern newspapers, and coordinated visits by clergy and Norwegian-American spokesmen. He helped found the three-point Lutheran parish at Perry, East Blue Mounds, and Springdale.</p><br>
<p>At age 80, Aslak and Marit moved to Buffalo County to live with their son Halvor, where he had founded a Norwegian-American settlement. Aslak was still active there in carpentry and church for a bit, but Marit died in 1881 and finally Aslak in 1886.</p><br>
<p>Aslak&#39;s house in Springdale was occupied until the 1960s, then sat empty for forty years. By 2002 it was deteriorating, so its owners donated it to the Folklore Village at Dodgeville.

<p>The McFarland House is a large Greek Revival-styled house built in 1857 in McFarland, Wisconsin by a founder and the namesake of the community. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 and on the State Register of Historic Places the following year.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Hugh McFarland was a British immigrant, as well as the founder and namesake of McFarland. He was a construction superintendent for the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad when it directed him in 1855 to build a depot on its line five miles south of Madison. McFarland agreed to build the depot if he could be made local agent for the railroad there. He built the depot in 1856.</p><br>
<p>The following year he built his house nearby. Prior houses in the settlement had been log cabins, but McFarland built a large 2.5-story frame house, clad in clapboard and wood shingles. The style is simple, but Greek Revival elements include the pitch of the roof, the frieze board under the eaves, the symmetric facade, and the sidelights on the front door. McFarland built several trapdoors from the attic to the roof, perhaps to give easy access to the roof if a spark from a running locomotive nearby set the roof shingles alight.</p><br>
<p>The house served as McFarland&#39;s private residence, but it was right near the depot and the downtown of McFarland. It was prominent home seen when entering the town by rail. McFarland was the station manager and postmaster, and his large attic hosted church services, weddings and town meetings. The large house also hosted newly arriving families, tourists and merchants. McFarlands lived in the house until 1969.</p><br>
<p>Saint Aloysius on the Ohio  is a Roman Catholic parish in the Sayler Park neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The parish is part of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is named after St. Aloysius Gonzaga and located near the Ohio River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish started in 1868 when German American Catholics who worshiped at Our Lady of Victory Parish in Delhi Township built a one-room schoolhouse for Lower Delhi children. The adjoining church was dedicated on June 29, 1873. In 1885, the parish purchased land for a new church, which was dedicated on October 28, 1888. In 1890, the school moved into the former church building, and the Sisters of St. Francis of Oldenburg came to staff the school, which grew to include high school grades. A rectory was added in 1898.</p><br>
<p>In 1905, the original one-room schoolhouse was torn down, and the current school building opened on June 3, 1906. The original church building was torn down in 1916. The church&#39;s 150 ft steeple was condemned and torn down and torn down in 1923, along with the original rectory. High school grades were eliminated in the 1930s. The church was renovated in 1931, 1952, 1998, and 2001.</p><br>
<p>Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes were added in the 2000s. In 2006, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport across the river paid for soundproof windows and air conditioning in the school building as part of a noise abatement program and also dropped the ceilings by 5 ft. On December 23, 2014, the church, school, and rectory – four buildings in all – were added to the National Register of Historic Places, owing to their locally significant architecture. The school closed May 24, 2018, due to declining enrollment.</p><br>
