<p>The La Veta Pass Narrow Gauge Railroad Depot, in La Veta, Colorado, was built in 1877 for the Denver & Rio Grande. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is near the summit of La Veta Pass, which is at 9,380 ft elevation.</p><br>
<p>It is located off USA 160.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story L-shaped structure. It was used as a passenger depot for about 20 years, until 1899 when the narrow gauge railway was superseded by a standard gauge railway opened about seven miles away.</p><br>
<p>The remains of an old railway turntable are nearby.</p><br>
<p>The 7-D School, in Las Animas County, Colorado, near Branson, Colorado, was built during 1936-37 as a Works Progress Administration project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>It is located on County Road 171 north of County Road 50.6.</p><br>
<p>According to HistoryColorado, The 7-D School, constructed in 1936 to 1937 under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) is significant for its association with President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal legislative agenda to rescue the United States from the Great Depression. The School presents an important record of the federal relief programs administered in Colorado’s Eastern Plains during the Great Depression. Though the dire economic conditions of the Depression affected all of Colorado, drought and dust storms hit the agricultural-based economy of the Eastern Plains especially hard. The construction of the school provided much-needed employment in an isolated, rural area of Las Animas County where little other work was available. Additionally, the 7-D School is a good example of WPA Rustic architecture applied to a simple, one-room school building. The stonework displays the labor-intensive hand-craftsmanship that typifies the work of the WPA in southeastern Colorado. This craftsmanship is particularly characteristic of projects from rural Las Animas County since there was little access to construction machinery or pre-fabricated materials, but many local stone quarries.</p><br>
<p>And,The 7-D School is also important for educating rural schoolchildren for many years. The school is an excellent example of WPA efforts to improve rural education facilities in eastern Las Animas County. This building, reflects WPA efforts to improve education and to help small communities with limited resources.</p><br>
<p>The Womans Club of Fort Worth is one of the citys oldest membership organizations, formed in 1923 by the members of several existing womans clubs. The Womans Club complex comprises eight historic buildings on Fort Worths Near Southside and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. As with many womans clubs in the United States, the Woman&#39;s Club of Fort Worth has its roots in the Progressive Movement, with its original mission of "the cultural and civic advancement of Fort Worth; and the study of literature, history, science, painting, music, and other fine arts."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Local businesswoman Anna Shelton (1861-1939) recognized the need to bring together Fort Worths many disparate womans clubs into one umbrella organization with a shared physical space. Representatives of eleven local womans clubs met at the First Christian Church in January 1923 to form the new organization; the eleven charter clubs included the Fort Worth Federation of Womens Clubs, the Womans Wednesday Club, the Monday Book Club, 93 Club, Sorosis Club, Shakespeare Club, Penelope Club, Euterpean Club (named after the Greek muse, Euterpe), History Club, College Womens Club, and the Harmony Club. Both the Fort Worth Federation of Womens Clubs and Sorosis Clubs were established members of the Texas Federation of Womens Clubs. The Fort Worth Garden Club was organized in 1926 under the auspices of The Womans Club but did not become a formal member.</p><br>
<p>A member of the 93 Club, Sorosis Club, and state representative at national womens club conventions, Anna Shelton became the clubs first president in 1923, a position she held until shortly before her death in 1939. The same year, Etta O. Newby, a Fort Worth woman who was not a member of any womans clubs, donated a residence on Pennsylvania Avenue in Fort Worths Quality Hill neighborhood to the organization in memory of her late husband. The mansion was then occupied by military personnel as the United States Office of Alien Property Custodian had assumed ownership of the property when its German owners were stranded in Europe during World War I. The deed of gift transferring ownership of the building, to be named the William G. Newby Memorial Building, to the Womans Club limited its use to white women engaging in educational and cultural activities; the deed also forbade drinking, smoking, and gambling on the premises. Perhaps remarkably, Newbys smoking ban was the only controversial term of the gift at the time, as factions of club leaders faced off, with Anna Shelton supporting the ban and library director Jennie Scott Scheuber "championing the cause of womens right to smoke."</p><br>
<p>In 1931, the Womans Club of Fort Worth became the first in Texas with its own radio show on KFJZ, which was owned by Margaret Meacham, a prominent club member. The same year, the club assumed management of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, holding concerts in the Central High School auditorium; operations were handed back to the symphonys board in 1938. In 1932, the club started its Texas Library, which today holds a respected collection of rare books and Texana. The Texas Federation of Womens Clubs also used the Newby building as their headquarters until their own building was completed in Austin in 1933. The Womans Club played an active role in the 1936 Frontier Centennial, Fort Worth&#39;s celebration of the Texas centennial, operating a Texas history speakers bureau and a small history museum on the event grounds. They also organized a Texas Centennial scrapbook project and a program to place Texas history books in local school libraries. Notable speakers at the club during the 1930s through 1950s include Gertrude Stein, Ogden Nash, Grant Wood, John Erskine, Robert St. John, and Alan Mowbray.</p><br>
<p>During this period, the club supported many local childrens and medical charities, Red Cross, Fort Worth Public Library, and provided free music and art lessons to children. In 1970, the clubs original charter was updated to comply with tax laws for non-profit organizations; this included the removal of the clause limiting membership to white women and creation of plans for distribution of assets in the event of the organization&#39;s dissolution. In 1993, the club established a historic preservation trust to care for the buildings and grounds.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The Womans Club of Fort Worth occupies a 2.2 acre site on Pennsylvania Avenue in Fort Worths Near Southside, and includes structures in the Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Italian Renaissance Revival, and Craftsman styles. All structures in the complex are painted "antique Spanish white" to unify the disparate architectural styles. Four former residences built between 1903 and 1911, all originally part of the Quality Hill neighborhood, comprise the main buildings. Notable structures include:</p><br>
<p>The landscape architecture firm of Hare & Hare, which the Fort Worth park board secured to develop the city parks master plan, designed the club&#39;s grounds in 1926 as a gift to the Fort Worth Garden Club.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, a Texas Historical Marker was placed in the courtyard outside Ida Saunders Hall. The Womans Club received the Tarrant County Historic Preservation Councils Pinnacle Award in 1989. In 1990, the clubs complex was designated as a City of Fort Worth Landmark, received a Fort Worth Beautiful Award, and was rezoned as a Cultural and Historic District. On May 3, 2012, the prestigious DAR Historic Preservation Award was presented to The Womans Club of Fort Worth by Mary Isham Keith Chapter NSDAR of Fort Worth.</p><br>
<h2>Collections</h2><br>
<p>The Womans Club has a notable collection of furnishings and art, including nine grand pianos; the Jarvis Light, a chandelier once owned by Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mothers Day; portraits of prominent members by painter Emily Guthrie Smith, and Pipes of Pan, a bronze sculpture by Frederick MacMonnies.</p><br>

<p>The Bricker-Price Block is a historic building located in Earlham, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1900 by J.E. Walton. The building was jointly owned by its namestakes Cephas D. Bricker and Walter J. Price. They each owned a separate half of the building. Its unified facade features two mirror images with a central staircase in between. It is one of the oldest Romanesque Revival structures remaining in Earlham&#39;s central business district. The main-level storefronts originally housed general stores with other commercial interests taking their places over time. The second-floor originally housed offices, but they were later converted into five apartments. The building suffered significant water damage when a storm lifted the roof off in the spring of 2015. A nonprofit corporation was formed by the community to restore the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Mack-International Motor Truck Corporation Building is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was built by master builder and general contractor J.E. Lovejoy, who was also its original owner. Lovejoy and other tenants had offices on the second floor, while Mack Trucks occupied the ground floor. The front was used to showcase trucks and an industrial service space was in the back of the building. The two-story brick structure grew to take up a full quarter block after annexes were built in about 1931 and 1940. Located in Des Moines&#39; historic Auto Row, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Middlebury Center Historic District encompasses the historic civic and religious center of Middlebury, Connecticut. Centered at the junction of North and South Streets with Whittemore Road, the District includes churches, schools and municipal buildings, many from the late 19th or early 20th centuries, as well as a diversity of residential architecture. The district includes all the residences along the entire length of North Street, which leads up to the town green. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Middlebury was settled in the early 18th century, but did not begin achieving an independent identity until 1790, when a congregational parish was authorized. It was incorporated in 1807, its land taken from surrounding towns. The town remained an agricultural area, lacking waterpower for industrial development and transport, and bypassed by the railroads. The town center arose at a junction of multiple roadways, where the first Congregational church was built, and in its early years included services such as a blacksmith and tavern. Due to its quiet rural nature, there has been little residential development in the center since 1840, with many of its civic and religious buildings added later, some as replacements for earlier structures.</p><br>
<p>The oldest surviving building in the district is an 18th-century house, now on the grounds of the Westover School, whose campus is a major feature of the center. The oldest church in the district is the Greek Revival Methodist Church, built in 1832, although the 1935 Congregational Church is a reproduction of an 1845 Greek Revival building lost to fire. The adjacent town hall, a brick neo-Federalist brick building, was also built in 1935, the previous one having succumbed in the same fire. The Catholic St. John of the Cross Church, designed by architect John J. Dwyer of Hartford and dedicated in 1908, is a fine example of Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Milford Point Hotel is a former hotel building at 1 Milford Point Road in Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1847, it is one of the oldest surviving seaside coastal hotel buildings in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It now serves as the visitors center for the Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Milford Point Hotel is located near the tip of Milford Point, the most southwesterly part of the city. The point forms the eastern edge of the mouth of the Housatonic River, and is an area of conservation and wildlife management lands owned by the state and the Connecticut Audubon Society. The hotel building is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior, set on a raised foundation obscured by latticework. A single-story shed-roofed porch extends across the front, with Italianate square posts rising to jigsawn brackets. The interior retains much of its original layout, with three main public chambers on the first floor, and a corridor providing access to small guest rooms on the second.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built in 1847 by George T. Smith, and provided a seaside vacation experience to travelers arriving on the recently completed railroad which ran along the coast. This type of small boarding house was once a common sight on Connecticuts coast, but is now rarely seen. Its current setting, well back from the shoreline of Long Island Sound, is the result of natural sand deposition. Its Italianate features are probably the result of a major update of the property that took place in 1875. In the 1930s, the hotel and surround land were given to the state, which formed the wildlife management and nature preserve areas where it now stands. In World War II, the building was used as a military lookout station. It now houses the visitors center of the Connecticut Audubon Societys Coastal Center at Milford Point.</p><br>
<p>The mill cottage on the Lion Gardiner farm at 36 James Lane on the landmarked East Hampton Village green has become a museum displaying 19th and early-20th-century landscape paintings. It is a contributing structure on the NRHP East Hampton Village District, replacing the original cottage on the lot situated with the windmill and Rev James historic marker.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By community request of the village board, the Town of East Hampton purchased the Gardiner Mill cottage and lot, which included the 1804 Gardiner windmill, in 2014 utilizing community preservation funding. In December 2014, the village signed off on an agreement to build a replica saltbox style colonial era home and took sole responsibility for a museum. Terry Wallace, owner of the East Hampton Wallace Gallery had agreed to partly donate some of his collection of landscape paintings of the Hamptons (some dating to 1865), while the rest would be acquired by a sizable endowment to the museum funded by the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation.</p><br>
<h2>Cottage</h2><br>
<p>The mill cottage and later added extensions and dormers is a colonial-era timber-frame saltbox. It was restored to its 1880s appearance, when it was last renovated by Jonathan Thompson Gardiner. The artist Percy Moran, a nephew of renowned artist Thomas Moran of the Hudson River School of painting, lived there in the early-20th century and the cottage had fallen into dis-repair. The decision to replace the structure with a replica was cast as a compromise to restoration.</p><br>
<p>Some nonhistorical add-ons to the original cottage, including porches and dormers, were removed, and the 1880 front porch was reconstructed. A previous kitchen would be recreated to provide an entrance and bathroom to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. A small parking lot was placed behind the cottage so as to not impede street views.</p><br>
<h2>Mill</h2><br>
<p>The Gardiner Mill, built in 1804, is a New England style smock windmill built by Millwright Nathanial Dominy V. and operated as a grist mill serving area farmers. The timber used for the mill was cut from trees on Gardiner&#39;s Island and it was finished on September 28, 1804, costing more than 528 pounds ($28,208 in 2018). The mill continued to operate until 1900 and retained much of its original machinery, it has the best representation of colonial style interior finish of the extant Long Island windmills and remains the best example of millwrighting craftsmanship by Nathaniel Dominy V, who also worked on other area windmills. Nathaniel Dominy is said to have given particular attention to detail in the workings of the Gardiner Mill frame and had worked the timbers to a smooth finish with a hand plane. Dominy made this extra effort partly due to this being the first of a kind, a new model windmill which was crafted to run two sets of millstones instead of one, and also because he built it for his major patron, John Lyon Gardiner. It was completely renovated in 1996 by the Village which created a state-of-the-art restoration of the Windmill.</p><br>
<p>The Orr Roadside Parking Area is a roadside park on USA Route 53 in Orr, Minnesota, United States. It was built from 1935 to 1938 as a New Deal project to provide motorists with recreational access to Pelican Lake. It was designed by landscape architect Arthur R. Nichols and constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Highways. The overlook was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for its state-level significance in the themes of landscape architecture and politics/government. It was nominated for exemplifying the early highway waysides built in Minnesota with federal work relief aid, and for exemplifying National Park Service rustic style and the work of Nichols.</p><br>
<p>The Erick and Kristina Nelimark Sauna is a historic Finnish sauna in Embarrass, Minnesota, United States. It was built around 1930. The sauna was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage. It was nominated for reflecting the area&#39;s settlement by Finnish American farmers and their use of traditional log construction.</p><br>
<p>The sauna is preserved on the grounds of the Nelimark Homestead Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Tinlinn Apartments is an apartment building located at 413 Garland Street in Flint, Michigan. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Flint at the beginning of the twentieth century was experiencing explosive growth tied to the growth of the automotive industry. The city&#39;s population nearly tripled from 1900 to 1910, and continued increasing into the 1930s. This increase in population severely crimped the housing supply in the area, and the housing market boomed as a result. In 1909, Nelson C. and Helen Webster purchased this lot on Garland Street. Webster was the secretary of the W. F. Stewart Company, a carriage-building firm and then supplier for the automotive industry. The Garland Street neighborhood at that time was an upscale area home to many leading industrialists.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, the Websters constructed the Tinlinn Apartments, as an upscale residence for upper middle-class businesspeople and professionals. The Websters lived in the Tinlinn until at least 1916, and the majority of the other early tenants were executives of businesses associated with the automobile industry. The Tinlinn continued as a four-unit apartment building until it was closed in 1999; it was rehabilitated about ten years later and reopened,</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Tinlinn Apartments is a two-story brick and stucco Arts and Crafts apartment building containing four units, two on each floor. The building sits on a raised foundation and has a hipped roof with deep overhanging eaves. The foundation level and the first story are clad with brick, with quoins at the corners; the second story is covered with stucco. A two-story central porch, three bays wide, fronts the main facade. The porch has a base and first floor railing matching the brick of the building, and four Tuscan columns continuing to the roof. The second floor of the porch has a wood railing between the columns. The porch shelters a central projecting entrance with a wood entrance door flanked by sidelights. Two sets of double-hung windows are located to each side. The second floor contains double-hung windows in the central by, with a wood entrance door and a double-hung window on each side. A wide hip-roof dormer is located in the center of the front roof.</p><br>
<p>The Crosley Building is a historic factory/office building in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Crosley Building was built in 1929 by Samuel Hannaford & Sons for the Crosley Radio Corporation. The building was designed to portray a Crosley radio set, and included 330,000 square feet.</p><br>
<p>Crosley used the building to broadcast from his radio tower on the roof. Transmissions from the WLW-AM radio station could be heard from Florida to New York.</p><br>
<p>The first 7 floors were used for producing and designing cars, radios, and refrigerators. The eighth floor and tower were used for offices. The Crosley Corporation used the building until the 1940s, when it was sold to Aviation Corporation. In 1960, the factory closed down. Over the next twenty years, the building had many owners who used it as a warehouse. In 1998, the building was purchased by Hosea Project Movers. In 2006, the building was abandoned. In 2012, the building was condemned. C W Development LLC purchased the building in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Founder</h2><br>
<p>Powel Crosley Jr. was an American inventor and entrepreneur. He pioneered radio broadcasting, and was dubbed "The Henry Ford of Radio". His company manufactured automobiles, radios and refrigerators. Crosley was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2010 and the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2013. He was a former owner of the Cincinnati Reds, and had a baseball field named after him.</p><br>
<p>The Naugatuck Center Historic District encompasses the historic civic and business center of Naugatuck, Connecticut. Centered around the town green, the district includes churches, schools and municipal buildings, many from the late 19th or early 20th centuries, as well as a diversity of residential architecture. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Naugatuck was settled in the 17th century, and developed primarily as an area of dispersed industrial activity, with saw and gristmills powered by the Naugatuck River and its tributaries. It was incorporated in 1844. Unlike many New England communities, its town center did not form around a church site, but developed around the green, which was donated to the town by an innkeeper in 1831. Two church congregations then moved their buildings there, and it then developed as a civic and business center. Its built infrastructure is dominated by industrial successes of the late 19th century, predominantly in the manufacture of rubber products by Charles Goodyear, and in malleable iron products manufactured by John Whittemore and Bronson Tuttle. Whittemore made many civic contributions, retaining McKim, Mead & White to design no less than eleven civic and private buildings in the town.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompasses much of the civic and institutional core of downtown Naugatuck. It extends south from the junction of Church, Water, and Meadow Streets, all of which eventually run south, forming spines of the district. Terrace Avenue and Fairview Avenue form the western side of the district, whose southern boundary is an east–west line roughly at Pleasant View Avenue. A finger extends eastward along Cedar Street to include the towns Spanish Revival railroad station. Prominent buildings in the district include the Whittemore Library, a McKim, Mead & White design, the main post office, like the railroad station in a Spanish Revival style, and the Bronson B. Tuttle House, located at the northernmost end of the district. The Tuttle House is a fine brick Victorian mansion, and the only major industrialists residence to survive in the city.</p><br>
<p>The New England Cement Company Kiln and Quarry are a historic archaeological industrial site in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Located on and near a ridge paralleling Litchfield Turnpike, the site includes two components: a stone kiln used for processing cement, and a hand-dug quarry from which limestone used in the cement manufacture was taken. The site has an industrial history dating to 1847; the kiln, which survives in deteriorated condition, dates to 1874.</p><br>
<p>A modern account of the demise of this business states there is "evidence of a nineteenth century scam" in which investors lost money. According to a 2013 article in The New York Times,"The concept was simple, toss local rock into the large stone furnace and wait until it melts. Then out comes fine cement. In this case the local bedrock proved unusable and produced an inferior product. Speculation is that the first batch was hauled into New Haven and dumped into the harbor more than 100 years ago." However this is contradicted by a more contemporaneous account by USA Congressman Nehemiah D. Sperry as recounted in a local newspaper&#39;s coverage of his 1895 trip through this area where he grew up. Sperry said, "And here we are opposite the dam. Just over there on the hillside are the ruins of the old cement kiln, where twenty-five years ago they made cement from the rocks that are so abundant around it. It was good cement, but the business failed and was killed because cement was a cheap article and because it took off all the profits to cart the stuff to New Haven. Perhaps some day an electric road will come by here and then the business might be profitably worked."</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Gunnison River Bridge I and Gunnison River Bridge II are two 129 ft long bridges built during 1926–27. They were separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The bridges carry what is now the USA Highway 50 service road. Bridge I brings it over Gunnison River overflow at mileposts 155.41 and Bridge II, at 155.59, brings it over the Gunnison River proper.</p><br>
<p>The bridges are located at 38.532711&deg;N latitude, 106.952259&deg;W longitude (Bridge I, further to the west, spanning overflow) and 38.533947&deg;N latitude, 106.949168&deg;W longitude (Bridge II, further to the east, spanning the main river).</p><br>
<p>The two bridges are Pratt truss through truss bridges, 129 ft long. Their trusses were fabricated by the American Bridge Company.</p><br>
<p>The Quogue Historic District is an area of historic residences in Quogue on the East End of Long Island, New York. The historic houses include structures that date from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries and retain their architectural and historic integrity. The district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>In 1659 John Ogden purchased Quawcanantucke from Sachem Wyandanch of the Montauk tribe for 400 pounds, vouchsafing his friend access for hunting, fishing and gathering berries. That land, from Westhampton to Southampton was to secure grazing for the sheep, hogs and cattle of the town and the first structure there was built for the shepherd that tended John Fosters flock. By the mid-18th century, the grandsons of Southamptons original settlers became the founders of the Quogue settlement. The Cook, Foster, Herrick, Jessup, Howell, and Post families started building homes along Quogue Street.</p><br>
<p>Once a bucolic collection of farms by the sea, Quogue in the early 20th century had become a place for wealthy bon vivants to create country estates by purchasing whole farms and building cottages along the dunes. Families that had summered in one of its boarding houses came to stay, many building the now-iconic shingle covered homes that dot the streets. Over 250 such shingle-style homes make up the historic hamlet.</p><br>
<p>Part of Southampton Towne in 1850, home to the first modern bridge over Quantuck Bay, Quogue was the second overnight stop on the stagecoach run from Brooklyn to Southampton in 1835, before the arrival of the LIRR (Riverhead -1844) during the Victorian era rush to colonize the Hamptons. Steamships plied stately courses off the Atlantic coast and homes built by whalers had dominated Quogue and Quaquanantuck streets. Jessup Avenue served as the main commercial street with the country market and the fire dept setting up roots in 1870. Early inhabitants include the linen house and the store by the pond, now home to the Quogue Historical society. Quogue Street, the widest in the hamlet, had been the grazing path that cattle were driven down each spring.</p><br>
<p>By 1845, whaling had become the country&#39;s fifth largest cash crop as the demand for whale oil for lighting grew. In Quogue, some families invested in the voyages; others signed aboard the whalers as crew; and a fair number became captains of their own vessels.</p><br>
<p>Some of these included residents Frederick M. Hallock, Henry Gardiner, Edward Stevens, and members of the Cooper family.</p><br>
<p>Until then, Quogue was a quiet, pastoral community. Each small holding grew food for the table, some were working by farming, ocean fishing and then whaling, starting in small whaleboats from shore, then in Barks and Schooners on long ocean voyages. A secondary business of boarding summer visitors was thriving by 1855.</p><br>
<p>In 1870, a spur of the LIRR to Quogue brought a flood of visitors each summer and, by 1880, the hamlet was a bustling summer resort. Thirteen boarding houses and hotels ensconced along Quogue Street and the village flourished. The cottages on Dune road were large affairs, built to accommodate the seasonal influx of beach goers. It was by then considered the wealthiest village on Long Island by proportion of its residents. It was nicknamed “The Queen of the Hamptons” by the LIRR.</p><br>
<h2>Gales and Nor’easters</h2><br>
<p>On the high seas nor’easters might be the most terrifying of the dangers, but thousands lost their souls to the sea within sight of shore. Nestled among the dunes during the middle of the 19th century was a garage like structure, long gone. It was once the shed that was used by the Quogue Life-Saving Station (NRHP ref# 99000640) before the quarters were upgraded in 1872 to a larger red house. The red house still remains on Dune Road as a private home after the quarters were moved in 1912. The original shed was in use from 1849 to 1872 and involved Maritime disasters. The poet Longfellow famously wrote in 1839 of The Wreck of the Hesperus, a tale of a winter storm and ill-fated voyage off the Atlantic coast of which Long Islands had its own share; and the need for coast watchers and seagoing rescue crafts had spawned life-saving stations along the south shore. Wrecks such as the “Infanti” (1851), the “Europa” (1886) and Nahum Chapin (1898) gave notoriety to the Quogue lifesaving station and it became a part of the US Coast guard in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The latest station (Designed by Victor Mendelheff – 1912, currently a private home) is one of the few remaining examples of this type of structure and was the only individual building in the Quogue Historic District on the NRHP lists, despite being outside the limits of the district boundaries.</p><br>
<h2>Historic Status</h2><br>
<p>Nancy D. Mullan of Quogue was on the Town of Southampton Landmarks and Historic Districts Board and also a member of the Quogue Historic Preservation Society. She was instrumental in the effort to establish the Quogue Historic District – which was added to the N.Y. State Register in December 2015 and National Register on February 2, 2016. On Jessup Ave, Quogue Community Hall is part of the Quogue Historic District along with the Hampton Theatre company. St. Paul AME Zion is a Southampton town landmarked church on Montauk Highway and the fight to gain NRHP status for the hamlet had been underway as far back as 1992. Numerous attempts were rebuffed, reasons counter varied in considering historic district status, the primary question was whether those sectors being considered had any real historical significance. The Village of Quogue had set itself apart from the Hamptons summer vibe by having a quaint country village lifestyle lacking the moneyed elements common to towns further east in the Hamptons. Boarders occupied rooming houses 4 months out of the year beginning in the 1840s. Stately cottages lined Dune road. The connection to Sag Harbor whaling captains and the landmarked Life-Saving Station along with the Victorian era homes still standing eventually won out. Some 200+ Victorian era houses are contributing to the districts status.</p><br>
<p>The Park Service, in the nominating petition, stated “The Quogue Historic District is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of settlement and social history and recreation. The district is additionally significant under Criterion C for its remarkable collection of architecture that reflects Quogue&#39;s history as an early agricultural community that transformed into a predominantly seasonal community during the nineteenth century”. Many Victorian homes are still standing in the Quogue Historic District and more than 300 acres have been preserved in a wildlife refuge. Historic Victorian summer cottages alongside modern mansions line Dune Road and the many homes on village streets have the wrap around porches common to the time. The previously landmarked Life-Saving station and the Quogue Cemetery – (National Register Information System ID:13000914) are already separately listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The integrity of the Tom Bendelow designed golf course for the Quogue Field Club is also considered to be an important feature of the recreational history of the district.</p><br>
<p>Five houses, First House, Old Revolution, Antiquity, the Miss Mary Post House and the Foster Homestead are the oldest residences in the village, all date to the pre-Colonial era and all have interiors that have been modernized.</p><br>
<p>The Durant is an apartment building located at 607 East 2nd Avenue in Flint, Michigan, United States. It was built as the Hotel Durant in 1919, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, the automotive industry in Flint rapidly expanded, raising Flints population from 13,000 in 1900 to more than 90,000 in 1920. Buick and Chevrolet led the rise of the automakers in Flint. When both were folded into the new General Motors (GM) in 1908, the company dominated Flints economy. The rise of GM quickly created an urgent need for more and better hotel accommodations in Flint. By the late 1910s, the Durant Hotel Company, headed by GM chairman William C. Durant, had raised $500,000 to construct a new hotel. The company contracted with the United Hotels Company of America to supervise the construction and furnishing of the hotel, and to manage it after opening. In 1918, United retained the architectural firm of Esenwein & Johnson of Buffalo, New York, to design the hotel, and construction began in 1919.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was originally planned as a six-story structure, but two additional stories were added during construction to respond to increased demand. The hotel opened with 264 guest rooms on December 14, 1920. The Durant was immediately Flint&#39;s leading hotel, by far the largest and the most distinguished in the area. In addition to hosting guests from out of town, it was used by local groups and individuals for meetings and celebrations.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, the hotel was purchased by the Albert Pick Hotels Company. By the late 1960s, GM&#39;s operations in Flint were declining, and there was less need for a large hotel. The 1973 oil crisis provided the final shock, and the Hotel Durant closed its doors in 1973. The new apartments opened in 2010, and reached full capacity the next year.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Durant is a large eight-story Neo-Georgian building with a splayed U configuration fitting into a trapezoidal lot. It has three primary exterior facades, each having a two-story base finished in limestone, with the upper six stories finished in red brick with limestone detailing, including bands at the fourth and eighth floors. Two main entrances leading to the lobby are located to the south (the base of the U) and west facades. The primary entrance on the south is flanked by two large arched windows; a set of four similar windows are on the west side. Commercial storefronts ring the remainder of the base. The upper floors contain identical, six-over-six, double-hung windows with limestone sills. The building is topped with a brick and limestone cornice/parapet.</p><br>
<p>The Norcross Brothers Granite Quarry, more recently the Castellucci Quarry, is a historic granite quarry on Quarry Road in Branford, Connecticut. Opened in 1887 by the Norcross Brothers construction firm, it supplied granite to a number of high-profile construction projects, including the Statue of Liberty and the Marshall Field and Company Building, and was in operation until 1980. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, and is now owned by the town as a passive recreation area.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Norcross Brothers Granite Quarry is located in a rural setting of eastern Branford, at the northern end of Quarry Road. The quarry is part of a larger parcel, where there is still ongoing quarrying. The historic quarry is a semicircular cut into a hillside on the west side of the property, between the north end of the public road and the active quarry. It has a stepped face, which extends about 50 ft above the ground to the east, and is about 300 ft wide. The lower reach of the quarry is filled with water, obscuring the depth from which stone was taken. Built features of the quarry include a wooden derrick near the upper lip, which was originally used as part of a hoisting mechanism. Foundational remnants of a stone-cutting shop are located nearer the road end, and the property is scattered with stone fragments and old tools.</p><br>
<p>The quarry was opened in 1887 by the Norcross Brothers, a construction firm based in Worcester, Massachusetts. Norcross was founded in 1864, and was by the end of the 19th century one of the nations highest-profile construction firms. The company owned a number of stone quarries, from which materials were taken for building projects nationwide. Stone from this quarry is known to have been used in the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC, in the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library in New Orleans, and in the base of the Statue of Liberty. The quarry had a pronounced effect on the local economy and the towns demographics, bringing in a large number of immigrants into the formerly "Yankee" community. The quarry was sold by the Norcross Brothers in 1926, and operated intermittently until 1980.</p><br>
<p>The North Branford Center Historic District encompasses the historic town center of North Branford, Connecticut. Centered at the junction of North Street and Foxon Road, it has been the center of the town&#39;s civic and religious life since the early 18th century. The district includes the town hall, library, Congregational Church, and residential architecture dating to the early days. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>North Branford was settled as part of Branford beginning in the late 17th century, and was granted the right to establish a separate Congregational parish in 1717. It was separately incorporated in 1831. The town center was established around the site of the first church (replaced in 1830 and again in 1908 by the present Romanesque edifice), and includes its oldest cemetery, where its early ministers are interred. It remained in essence a small country town center, with its small businesses eventually eliminated by competitive goods and service delivered by railroad.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is about 53 acre in size, and is basically T-shaped, extending along the north side of Foxon Road in both directions from North Street, and along North, Church, and Chapel Streets to its north. The only building on the south side of Foxon Road included in the district is the c. 1870 North Branford Hall, built as a school and now housing town offices. All of the buildings in the district are of wood frame construction, except for the Atwater Memorial Library, a brick Colonial Revival structure built in 1943 and enlarged in 1967. It was built on what was originally part of the town green, which is now limited to a triangular portion adjacent to the church. The green dates to 1765, and is where the local militia mustered in the American Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>S.A. Wilson Elementary School in Security-Widefield, an unincorporated area south of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was built in 1959 and expanded in 1961. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>It was one of six elementary schools in Widefield School District built during 1954 to 1961, during which the district grew from 125 students to more than 3,500 students. The building later became the S.A. Wilson Center, hosting several school district resources.</p><br>
<p>The First Church of Woburn, formerly the First Congregational Church in Woburn, is a historic nondenominational Christian church at 322 Main Street in Woburn, Massachusetts. The congregation, established in 1642, is one of the oldest in the United States, and its church building  is a local landmark. The Italianate-style church was built in 1860, and its 196 ft steeple is believed to be the tallest wooden steeple in North America.</p><br>
<p>The church is home to a historic E. & G. G. Hook pipe organ, dating to the time of the church&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>The church building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992. The congregation was originally Puritan, as were all acknowledged churches in Massachusetts at the time, and was later affiliated with the United Church of Christ in the early 20th century until resigning the denomination in the late 1980s. It is now declared nondenominational in the evangelical tradition but did not drop the Congregational designation from its name until 2018.</p><br>
<p>Glenwood Cemetery is a cemetery located at 2500 W Court Street in Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Flint was incorporated as a city in 1855. At the time, the area cemetery was beginning to decay, so in 1857 a group of leading citizens met to plan the construction of a cemetery suitable for the new city. The group formed the Glenwood Cemetery Association. Thirty acres of land was quickly acquired, and George T. Clark hired as a civil engineer. The new Glenwood Cemetery formally dedicated in October 1857. A gateway, chapel, and receiving vault (all now long-demolished) and the sexton&#39;s office (still standing) were built soon after, and the grounds graded and landscaped, including broad, winding roads and footpaths.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery added six acres of land in 1901, and constructed a new mausoleum in 1914. No further additions to the cemetery grounds were made, and the Glenwood</p><br>
<p>Cemetery Association continues to own and operate Glenwood Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>Significant burials at Glenwood include:</p><br>
<p>Jacob Smith, the first European settler of Flint, considered the founder of Flint (1780-1825).</p><br>

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Glenwood Cemetery is located on high, rolling ground overlooking the Flint River. The grounds are heavily wooded, and laid out with curving pathways through the grounds. A tall black wrought iron fence fronts the cemetery, and contains a main entrance with double-leaf iron gates between square random ashlar masonry gate posts of whitish random ashlar masonry that support double-leaf iron gates. Just inside the gate is the original sexton&#39;s office, a one-and-a-half-story gable-front building with a shed-roof addition. A second, similar entrance is located down the street. The later addition to the cemetery, located at the far eastern side, contains a Neoclassical mausoleum of gray granite.</p><br>
<p>The grounds contain gravestones and monuments dating from the founding of the cemetery through the present. Early monuments include a substantial number of white marble markers, many of them obelisks, dating from the late 1850s to the 1870s. A few early sandstone and limestone monuments are also in the cemetery. The majority of monuments are granite, coming in a range of hues, dating from the 1880s and later.</p><br>
<p>The Rice Building, originally known as the Hall Building for Benjamin Homer Hall who built it, is a triangular historic high Victorian Gothic structure with Moorish architecture window arches in Troy, New York. Built in 1871 for attorney, author, and poet Benjamin Homer Hall who served as City Clerk of Troy, it is located at 216 River Street on the corner with First Street. It has been attributed to the firm of Vaux and Withers, the partnership between Calvert Vaux and Frederick Clarke Withers It is part of the Central Troy Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Originally 6 stories with 3 towers on the roof, a fire damaged the top floor and it was removed along with the towers. In more recent decades, the building fell into disrepair after it was foreclosed on in the 1980s. An effort to save it was launched and it was restored in the 1990s. A nonprofit entity called Rice Building Incorporated was created to turn it into a business incubator center. With support from State Senator Joseph Bruno, New York State provided $2 million for the project. The architecture firm Lepera & Ward headed the project. Ganem Contracting was also involved in the project and photographed the work and many architectural details. The origins of the name Rice Building are not known.</p><br>
<h2>Benjamin Homer Hall</h2><br>
<p>The building was originally known as the Hall Building for attorney and poet Benjamin Homer Hall (November 14, 1830 &ndash; April 6,1893) He married Margaret McCoun Lane, the daughter of Jacob L. Lane of Troy.</p><br>
<p>A collection of his and his father Daniel Hall&#39;s papers include correspondence with Amos Eaton, ( geologist and founder of Rensselaer Institute), Edward Everett, William H. Seward, Hamilton Fish, Robert Todd Lincoln, Horatio Seymour, William L. Marcy, John E. Wool, and Asa Fitch.</p><br>
<h2>Fire</h2><br>
<p>The upper floor and roof towers were damaged by a fire in 1913 1916, or 1920 (when a fire struck River Street), depending on the source.</p><br>
<h2>Other information</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed on the site of Lanes Row and replaced structures on that site. Edgar Holloway made an etching of the building in 1974. The building appears in the Martin Scorsese film, based on Edith Whartons 1920 novel, "The Age of Innocence (1993 film)" as a law office in New York City. The building was sold in 2016 for $800,000 to Tai Ventures. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was involved in saving and restoring the building. The building features pointed-arch polychrome voussoirs. A plan to restore the building to its original aspect with architectural features including the towers was proposed by Joseph Michael Kelly, Architect and Engineer in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Building  is a US government office building located at 600 Church Street in Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Postal service in Flint was established in 1832, and the post office location changed a number of times through the nineteenth century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Flint began to grow hand-in-hand with the rise of the automobile industry, and in 1909 the post office moved into a new building on Kearsley Street. However, Flint&#39;s rapid growth quickly made even the new post office too small. In response, an addition was built in 1921, and a branch office established in 1925. However, even in 1926, the postal facilities were woefully inadequate, with lines for the teller window stretching over half a block on occasions. Local citizens lobbied the US government for a new building, and in 1927 announced that a new Flint Post Office would be placed in the first building program authorized for funding. A site was chosen in 1928, and in 1930 James A. Wetmore, Acting Supervisory Architect of the Treasury Department, signed off on a set of plans for the new building. Construction was completed in 1931.</p><br>
<p>In addition to housing a new post office, the Internal Revenue Service, United States Department of Agriculture, United States Army, and United States Navy all opened offices in the new building. The building served as the main Flint facility until about 1960, when a new post office was constructed. The Church Street location was remodeled to serve as a branch post office, as well as housing other federal facilities including the courts.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Flint Federal Building is a classical Art Moderne two-story building faced with Kasota limestone. The front facade is symmetrical, end extends for 230 feet along Church Street. The facade contains a broad pavilion with colonnade with four bays to each side. A terrace edged with a balustrade projects from the central pavilion, and leads to three pedimented doorways. Window openings in the central colonnade and the side bays feature stacked windows with spandrels between them. Polychromatic terra-cotta panels with Art Moderne iconography, thematic to the buildings use, are set into the spandrels as well as into the parapet wall above. A large one-story wing and a modern secure garage project from the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Flint Journal Building is an office building located at 200 East First Street in Flint, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. It is now used by the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first edition of The Flint Journal was published by Charles Fellows on in 1876. The paper was sold twice over the next few years, eventually being bought by George McConnelly, who changed it from a weekly to a daily newspaper in 1883. The paper was sold twice again, and in 1902 Howard H. Fitzgerald purchased it and merged it with the Flint Globe, changing its name to the Fling Daily Journal. In 1911 Fitzgerald sold it to George Gough Booth, then president of the Detroit News and owner of many other Michigan newspapers. Flint grew enormously at the beginning of the twentieth century, providing an increasing number of subscribers for the Journal. The paper had offices on First Street, but by the 1920s was outgrowing that space.</p><br>
<p>Booth hired Albert Kahn (who had recently designed the Detroit News Building as well as Booths personal residence at Cranbrook) to design new offices for the Journal. The building was constructed and the paper moved into the offices in 1924. Kahn designed an addition in 1928, and other changes were made to the building in the 1930s. In 1952, Detroit architect William Kapp designed another, two-story addition to the building; a second addition was constructed in 1962. William Edward Kapp, architect for the firm of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls designed the second addition. However, as the twentieth century rolled on, Flints economy declined, and so did the paper. In 1976, the Booth Newspapers were sold to Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr., and by 2009, the newspaper reduced publishing to three days per week. In 2012, Booth Newspapers changed its name to Mlive Media Group, and the Flint Journal moved out of its historic headquarters, renting office space elsewhere in downtown Flint.</p><br>
<p>At the same time, Michigan State University was looking to expand its medical education and public health programs in Flint. The old Flint Journal Building was purchased by Uptown Reinvestment in 2013, who rehabilitated the structure and leased it to MSU. Michigan State University opened their College of Human Medicine facilities in the building at the end of 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Flint Journal Building is a 3-1/2-story Neoclassical style limestone clad building on a granite foundation, with 2-1/2-story tall International Style additions.

<p>five bays wide with a strip of five large windows on the first floor and a wide tripartite window in each bay on the second floor. The 1965 addition is about half the length of the 1952 addition, but us windowless.</p><br>
<p>The Alamogordo Womans Club is a womens club based in New Mexico. It operates under the auspices of the New Mexico Federation of Womens Clubs  . The club was created to provide Alamogordo women a way to serve their community. Of note was the Alamogordo Womans Club&#39;s providing books to school libraries.</p><br>
<h2>The building</h2><br>
<p>The Alamogordo Woman&#39;s Club was built in 1937 in the Pueblo Revival style by the Works Progress Administration (WPA)</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story 80x52 ft building built by Works Progress Administration workers. It was "most likely designed by the project foreman, as were other WPA-funded women&#39;s clubs in New Mexico."</p><br>
<p>Its main hall includes three Federal Arts Project paintings by J.R. Willis, a New Mexico artist. Joseph Roy Willis (1876-1960) was based in Albuquerque.</p><br>
<p>It was one of several structures in the Tularosa Basin to be built by the WPA. Others WPA buildings are the Alamogordo Post Office (now Otero County Administration Building), and parts of the New Mexico School for the Blind campus.</p><br>
<p>The Alamogordo Woman&#39;s Club building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Carrizozo Womans Club, at 908 Eleventh St., Carrizozo, New Mexico is a womans club. Its building was constructed in 1939 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>It is Pueblo Revival in style. The building is L-shaped, about 70 ft along the front and about 40 ft along the side. It has a 30 ft Round Room.</p><br>
<p>It operates under the auspices of the New Mexico Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs (NMFWC). (now known as GFWC New Mexico).</p><br>
<p>The building was a Works Progress Administration project.</p><br>
<p>The building was identified in 2002 as one of the Ten Most Endangered Properties in New Mexico, by the New Mexico Cultural Preservation Alliance. It had a notably severe crack in one of its adobe walls. The situation "attracted the attention of preservations and prompted club members to begin researching the property and preparing a nomination to list it in the State Register of Cultural Properties. Interest raised by NMFWC in other communities about other club buildings led the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division (NMHPD) to contract with historian David Kammer to identify and evaluate" other clubhouses as well, including the Alamogordo Womans Club and the Silver City Womans Club.</p><br>
<p>Hose House No. 2, at 600 Colorado Blvd. in Idaho Springs, Colorado, was built around 1882. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>

<p>It has also been known as the West End Hose House and as the 6th and Colorado Hose House.</p><br>
<p>The Caldwell Historic District in Caldwell, Idaho, is an area of approximately four acres in downtown Caldwell along Main Street, South 7th Avenue, South Kimball Avenue, and Arthur Street.</p><br>
<p>Fires in 1884 and in 1896 destroyed businesses in early Caldwell, and brick had become Caldwell&#39;s favored building material for downtown structures. In 1906 alone, brick construction on Main Street between South 7th and South Kimball Avenues included the Steunenberg Block, the Egleston Block, and expansion of the Lucas Block—soon known as the Little Block and later dubbed the Harmon Building. When the Caldwell Historic District was surveyed in 1982, many brick historic buildings adjacent to the district were not included.</p><br>
<p>The district includes Romanesque Revival and modest commercial architecture, although some facades have been altered since construction. The 1982 site survey noted 14 buildings, and the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) July 19, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Original inventory</h2><br>
<p>Saratoga Hotel (1904), 624 Main Street. The Saratoga was a 3-story, Château style hotel and featured a Mansard roof with hipped dormers and corner turrets. Owner Ralph V. Sebree named the hotel after the Saratoga Hotel in Chicago, managed by his uncle. A 1923 renovation by Tourtellotte & Hummel removed the French details and expanded the hotel to four stories.</p><br>
<p>Commercial Building (1904), 702, 704 Main Street and 103, 105, 107 7th Ave. The 2-story Caldwell Commercial Bank, also known as the Caldwell Bank and Trust Building, was designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and featured Romanesque Revival architecture. An early and longtime tenant was the Agustus Greenlund drugstore, 1904-1975. The building was renovated by Tourtellotte & Hummel in 1928, and the style was altered toward Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>Steunenberg Block (1906), 706, 708 Main Street. The 2-story, Romanesque Revival style brick and sandstone building opened in August, 1906. Early tenants were the Herr Clothing Company and Boyes Hardware. Albert K. Steunenberg (September 11, 1863 - March 17, 1907) helped to organize the Caldwell Commercial Bank and the Caldwell Bank and Trust Co. He was also one of the owners of the Lowell-Steunenberg Building and the Lowell-Jackson-Steunenberg Building included below in the inventory.</p><br>
<p>Egleston Block (1906), 710 Main Street. The 2-story Egleston building was designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and features sand colored brick. The Exchange Saloon, one of Caldwells oldest buildings, was demolished to make room for the Egleston Block. Early tenants were a branch of Alexander, a mens clothing store owned by Moses Alexander, and the Baker & Harris Grocery Co.</p><br>
<p>Roberts Building (1894); 712 Main Street. The 2-story Roberts Building is the earliest brick building in the district, and the facade incorporates Romanesque Revival features. The building replaced an earlier, wood frame structure at the same address which housed the Caldwell Butchering Company, begun in 1885 by owners Charles Picard and Mike Roberts. The Roberts Building later housed the Roberts Meat Market. In 1910 the Fraternal Order of Eagles leased the second floor of the building.</p><br>
<p>Creative Printing (1911); 714 Main Street. The 2-story building was constructed between 1908 and 1911, and the 1911 Sanborn map indicates that the building functioned as a grocery store. At that time, the address was 716 Main Street, and the Roberts Building address was 714 Main Street. The Egleston Block occupied 710-712 Main Street, not 710 Main Street as current listings indicate. In 1920 Oakes Brothers, an adjacent business, converted the building to a storeroom.</p><br>
<p>Oakes Brothers Store (1906); 720 Main Street. The 1-story Oakes Brothers Store, more recently known as Maddys Plaza, is a brick building constructed as retail space for Oakes Bros., a dry goods and shoe store. In 1890 G. C. Oakes, R. W. Oakes, A. M. Oakes, and C. A. Oakes opened a dry goods store in Caldwells new Masonic building. The partnership was dissolved in 1891 when A. M. Oakes retired, but the remaining brothers continued in business, and in 1906 they moved into a larger building in what became the Caldwell Historic District. The store was constructed on what had been the site of Mohrs Boarding House and the Haskell House Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Harmon Building (1896); 722, 724 Main Street and 104 South Kimball Avenue. The 2-story Harmon Building was originally named the Lucas Block when the 1-story, brick building opened in 1896, and it replaced the wood frame Lucas Harness Shop at the same address. Features of the new building included an "elegant modern style with plate glass windows and colored skylights." Lucas reopened his harness shop on the Kimball side of the building, and grocer L. E. Hay was an early tenant as was dry goods merchant T. K. Little. Little bought the building in 1899, and in 1906 he and architect Thomas H. Soule added a second floor with a corner turret. In 1920 L. A. Harmon became part owner and moved the Harmon Drug Store into the building.</p><br>
<p>Ballantyne Building (1910); 803 Main Street and 104 North Kimball Avenue. The 1-story brick and stone Ballantyne Building, also known as the Phoenix Building, was designed by Caldwell architect Thomas H. Soule for Alec Ballantyne of Ballantyne Mercantile Co., formerly The Ballantyne-Dee Mercantile Co. Beside Ballantyne Bros., early tenants of the building included Keeney & Cazier clothing and dry goods and the Owl Drug Store. Later, the Star Cigar Store and the Home Electric Bakery rented space.</p><br>
<p>Western Building (1903); 105-111 South Kimball Avenue; 802 Main Street. The 2-story Western Building, also known as the Froman-Davis Building and as the Baker Brothers Building, featured brick construction with a corner turret when it was built in 1903 for George Froman and Charles Davis. Unusual for Caldwell at the time, Froman and Davis included a 12-foot wide cement sidewalk in front of the building on Main Street and on Kimball Avenue. By 1910 Caldwell would have in progress 300 miles of paved sidewalks. Early tenants of the Froman-Davis building were Baker Brothers Grocery, the Idaho Abstract Co., and Dorothy Stewarts Millinery Parlour. The building was remodeled in 1906 when the Western National Bank replaced Baker Brothers Grocery as the buildings main tenant. In 1926 Alexander&#39;s menswear became the main tenant, and the company remodeled the building in 1932, installing larger windows and removing the corner turret.</p><br>
<p>Union Block (1907); 113-123 South Kimball Avenue. The 2-story, brick and stone Union Block was designed by Caldwell architect Thomas H. Soule, with commercial space on the ground floor and offices above. Soon after construction, the second floor of the building became Caldwells first major hospital, with 18 rooms and four attending physicians. Other early tenants were Barnes Grocery, C. C. Smith Harness Shop, the Royal Cafe, and Cook & Over grocery. In 1908 J. T. Smith & Co. purchased Barnes&#39; Grocery, and in the same year P. R. Getter bought J. T. Smith and opened the Union Grocery at the original Barnes location in the Union Block. When Cook & Over relocated in 1910, their storefront at the Union Block was replaced by the expanding Royal Cafe. Another eatery in the building as early as 1909 was the Fern Restaurant. The Union Block was saved from destruction by firefighters in 1907 when a fire destroyed the adjacent Commercial Hotel, also known as the Sisson Hotel, but the building eventually was demolished sometime after completion of the NRHP site survey of 1982.</p><br>
<p>Caldwell News (1903); 114 7th Avenue South. The 1-story Caldwell News building was a brick and stone structure that served the publishing needs of a local newspaper. In 1907 while F. G. Burroughs was publisher, fire damage caused a $4000 loss to the paper. J. Walter Johnson succeeded Burroughs as publisher in 1911, but in that year John C. Rice succeeded Johnson. In 1928, the Caldwell News merged with The Caldwell Tribune to become the Caldwell News-Tribune. The building was demolished sometime after a fire burned the adjacent Saratoga Hotel in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Rice Building (1906); 113-117 7th Avenue South. Named for John C. Rice, the stone and brick Rice Building, also known either as the Lowell-Steunenberg Building or as the Steunenberg and Lowell Block, may have been designed by architect C. L. Lee. Rice bought the building and the adjacent Lowell Building in 1909.</p><br>
<p>Lowell Building (1907); 701, 705 Arthur Street and 121, 123 7th Avenue South. The 2-story brick and stone Lowell Building, also known as either the Lowell-Jackson building or the Lowell-Jackson-Steunenberg building, was designed by Boise architect C. L. Lee. The Caldwell Commercial Club leased the second floor, and other early tenants included the San Francisco, Idaho & Montana Railroad, Steunenberg Bros. Shoes, F. H. Bowen Jewelry, A. M. DeFrance & Co. Pool & Billiard Hall, and Sloan & Merritt Grocery. Owners included J. H. Lowell, a partner in the real estate firm of Lowell & Madden and an officer of the Caldwell Banking & Trust Co., A. K. Steunenberg, cashier of the bank, although in 1909 The Caldwell News referenced the Rice and Lowell Block.</p><br>
<h2>Street names</h2><br>
<p>Caldwell street names evolved from the names assigned in the original plat of 1883, and Kimball Avenue, named for Union Pacific ticket agent Thomas L. Kimball, is the only street in the Caldwell Historic District to keep its original name. In 1891 Front Street was changed to Main Street, Market Street became 1st Avenue South, and Canyon Avenue became 1st Avenue West. In 1907 an ordinance proposed by city councilor Herbert R. Cleaver reassigned 1st Avenue South as Arthur Street and 1st Avenue West as 7th Avenue. By that time, 1st Avenue West may have become known informally as Bank Street.</p><br>
<p>The Sauk City Fire Station, begun in 1862, housed the city&#39;s early fire department, and served as a center of the community. Today it is one of the oldest fire stations in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sauk Citys volunteer fire department was established in 1854, after a fire in November destroyed two stores, a tin shop, a house, a cooper shop, a barn and four horses. After this disaster for the small town, a meeting was called to organize a fire department. Charles Spiehr of the German Free Congregation was elected first president, and the fire department was organized into an engine company under J.J. Heller, a hook and ladder company under Charles Deininger, a bucket company under F. Franzel, and a rescue and protection company under Henry Hantzsch. They met at Schneider-Schreibers Hall, drilled, and resolved that the minutes from that early phase be written in German. By 1859, the departments equipment consisted of a wagon, ladders, J.J. Hellers homemade pump, a large hook for pulling down burning buildings, a small hook, 60 feet of rope, a box to hold the rope, two dozen tin pails, lanterns, five speaking horns, and a record book.</p><br>
<p>In 1861 the small fire company heard of a good fire engine available from Milwaukee for $200. They had 80 cents in the treasury at that point, but they ordered it, and proceeded to raise money. (One of the fundraisers was at Stinglehamer&#39;s beer hall.) Once the engine arrived, it needed a shed, and some of the firemen proposed another fundraiser on the Fourth of July, but Vice-captain Halasz threatened to resign over that date. (There was a lot of contention in those early years.) Eventually the village provided a half lot and $200, and a brick fire station was built, 11 feet wide by 36 feet deep, with a simple gable roof and no tower. Sections of that 1862 brick station are still present as the south bay of the current building.</p><br>
<p>Also in 1862, a number of members who belonged to Sauk City&#39;s rifle company left to fight in the Civil War. This reduced the fire company to the point where it considered disbanding, but the remaining men voted 15 to 12 to continue.</p><br>
<p>In 1870 Sauk Citys fire company bought another hand-pumped engine, called "the large engine," from the city of Madison. This required more storage space and it was probably at this point that the 1862 brick station was expanded from one bay to two by tearing out the north wall, building a new north wall to expand the hall from 11 feet wide to 28 feet, building a new roof over the old one, and adding the hose-drying tower on the ridge of the new roof. The result probably looked very much like the station looks today, except that the front doors were smaller, topped with segmental brick arches. The square tower stands 15 feet above the roof, including a belfry which holds the stations alarm bell. A shallow dome once topped the belfry, but that has been removed.</p><br>
<p>One of the worst fires in Sauk City&#39;s history came shortly after, when the Siebel Bakery on Water Street burned. The Pioneer Press was proud of the work of the fire company:</p><br>
<p>...Only the action of the unfailing large fire engine and the brave men who worked at the pump and water pails with all their strength...we have these to thank for keeping the fire in control. A light wind from the northeast turned to the east and blew coals and shingles for a block and one lit the cupola of the Meyer refrigerator building.... The roof of the Ninman dwelling was spared but the heat was great. Even against the wind the heat approached the cottage of Mrs. Ottilie Meyer and they had to keep spraying it with water and chemical spray. The window broke and the woodwork was scorched. They carried much of the furniture out of it....The family Siebel lived in the upper part of the building. The youngest child couldnt sleep and kept Mrs. Seibel awake. Suddenly she perceived a strong smell of the pine wood and even before they could dress themselves the smoke was coming into the rooms.... He tried to telephone but he got no answer from central and hurried to the fire house and rang the bell. Anybody who doesnt believe we have a good fire department should look at the ruins. If you look at the buildings the way they were standing tightly against each other you have to be surprised the fire could even be brought under control. The large fire engine was not even, through a misunderstanding, very quick to come to the place and when they did come, they brought the wrong hose. Still from that time on until the first stream was placed over the fire you could see there was no hope in saving it. For three hours the large engine was used without stopping. Even the women gave them a hand and helped the men with the pumping. Two hoses worked in spite of the cold. They functioned above all expectations. They could have frozen and broken or the pump could have quit on them and then a person can&#39;t even think about it. Now that people see what great danger we stand in with our old-fashioned and impractical water works, there is talk again about a new water works system. Now let us keep the ball rolling and vote on it..."</p><br>
<p>By 1900 the fire station was expanded again by moving a wooden building up against its back end. Around that time, the station contained two iron cages that served as the village jail. The village had no other municipal buildings for years, so that rear section was used for meetings of the village board, for other meetings, and as a polling place until 1937 when the village made the Curtis Hotel into a city hall with help from the Works Progress Administration.</p><br>
<p>The little station bought its first motorized truck in 1924, a Grass-Premier truck built right in Sauk City. This truck is probably what forced them to enlarge the north door. They bought a second Grass-Premier truck in 1928.</p><br>
<p>In 1954 the new fire station was built on Madison Street, and the old station stood idle for a decade. In 1963 the building was renovated a bit and converted to a community museum. In 1994 the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society leased the building, tore down the sagging rear addition, and raised money to repair the roof and tower. The building now houses a museum displaying historic firefighting equipment.</p><br>
<p>Swayze Court Apartments  is an apartment building located at 313 W. Court Street in Flint, Michigan. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Flint at the beginning of the twentieth century was experiencing explosive growth tied to the growth of the automotive industry. The city&#39;s population increased from under 40,000 in 1910 to over 150,000 in 1930, leading to a shortage of housing space. In 1924, William S. Ballenger Sr., one of the founders of Buick Motor Company, constructed the Swayze Apartments. Ballenger hired Detroit architect Paul C. Kroske to design the building. It was originally home to many General Motors executives, as well as Flint business people and families. However, by 2000 the building was vacant and slowly falling into disrepair. In 2015, local nonprofit Communities First began rehabilitation of the building. Restoration was completed in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Swayze Apartments is a three-story, C-shaped red brick apartment building with limestone trim. It is built in an eclectic style typical of the 1920s, combining a Classical Revival and Commercial Brick base with touches of Mediterranean or Spanish Eclectic style. The latter is exemplified by the red tile roofs on the front projecting bays and a low arched front window. The front facade is five bays wide, divided into three horizontal sections by a thick limestone water table at the sill line of the first floor windows and another limestone band at the third floor window sill line.</p><br>
<p>The central bay contains the entrance, with a stone entrance surround containing Doric pilasters supporting a flat-top entablature with "SWAYZE" carved in the frieze. Above are three narrow multipane windows in both the second and third floors. A parapet wall runs along the top. The two flanking bays the project slightly, and have tile covered hip roofs. Both bays contain a group of three six-over-one doublehung windows. The third-floor windows in these bays are flanked by paired Doric pilasters. The two end bays contain a pair of six-over-one double-hung windows at each floor.</p><br>
<p>Swayze Court Apartments contains 36 units.</p><br>
<p>The Little Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, now the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, is a historic church building and congregation at 44 Lake Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut, United States. Founded in 1882, the congregation was Greenwich&#39;s first African-American congregation of any denomination, and remains a center of African-American society in the town. Its current church, built in 1921 on the site of its first church, is a good example of Late Gothic Revival architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bethel AME Church is located north of downtown Greenwich, on the south side of Lake Street opposite the Greenwich Hospital campus. It is a single-story structure, with a gabled roof and stucco exterior. A square tower projects from the front left corner, capped by a pyramidal roof with flared eaves. The main entrance is in the base of the tower, sheltered by a gabled portico. Windows on the tower and building facade are lancet-arched in the Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>The church congregation was founded in 1882, forming what was then the first major focal point for African-American society in the town. The church eventually outgrew its first edifice, built on this site in 1883, and the present church was built in 1921. The congregation continues to be affiliated with the larger African Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mead Avenue area was farmland until the 1830s, when William Mead created one of Greenwichs first residential subdivisions, laying out Mead Avenue with half-acre lots. The area was well located, between the commercial centers of Mianus and Cos Cob, which dominated the towns commerce prior to the arrive (in 1848) of the railroad. Despite its good location, only one house was built in the subdivision before the 1860s: the Greek Revival house at 33 Mead Avenue. Before the start of the American Civil War, three more houses were built, all Italianate houses that were built for ship captains. Construction later in the 19th century included houses in River Road which were used primarily as summer residences.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes five houses on the north side of River Road, between Mead Avenue and Robertson Lane, and extends northward along Mead Avenue to a point where a series of closely spaced Bungalow style houses begin a transition to the more densely built area near East Putnam Avenue. Excluded from the district area portions of the older house lots that have been further subdivided and built upon later in the 20th century. Buildings contributing to the district&#39;s historic character include several carriage barns that have been converted to residences.</p><br>

In 1904 a cement sidewalk was constructed from the Rice House to downtown Caldwell, a distance of approximately 16 blocks.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) May 27, 1980, and would have been part of the Steunenberg Residential Historic District, established in 2002, but it was relocated and substantially altered sometime after its listing on the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>John C. Rice</h2><br>
<p>John C. Rice (January 27, 1864—November 7, 1937) served as a judge on the Idaho Supreme Court 1917-1923 and was chief justice 1920–1922. Rice graduated with a law degree from Cornell University in 1890 and moved to Caldwell. In 1890 he formed a law partnership with John T. Morrison that lasted until 1894, the year Rice helped to found the Caldwell Commercial Bank. He later became president of the bank and continued as president after the bank was reorganized as the Caldwell Banking and Trust Co. Rice was a trustee of the College of Idaho, and when the college was founded in 1891 he donated two hours daily to college teaching.</p><br>
