<p>The Country Womans Club was founded in the unincorporated community of St. Bethlehem, Tennessee in 1922, as a monthly meeting at one of the members houses. It expanded to 35 members who eventually moved to meet at the White&#39;s Creek Chapel School.</p><br>
<p>Its club building, built in 1927, is a Craftsman Style log building with a hipped roof, which was built by husbands of the club members. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It was deemedimportant in the womans club movement, as a visible reflection of the consciousness of gender-specific activities and community roles. It also represents the relative educational, intellectual, political, and civic interests of rural Montgomery County women during the twentieth century. Architecturally the building is a fine example of a twentieth-century log building with Craftsman influence. The Country Womans Club retains a high degree of architectural and historical integrity.</p><br>
<p>The building is now within the city limits of Clarksville, Tennessee, which expanded.</p><br>
<p>San Francisco Fire Department Engine Co. Number 2, at 460 Bush Street in San Francisco, California, United States, was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>

<p>The Palmyra Boy Scout Cabin is a log cabin at 105 N. 1st Street in Palmyra, Wisconsin. Palmyras Boy Scout Troop 14 built the cabin from 1935 to 1937. At the time, building a troop cabin was a popular activity for Boy Scouts and encouraged by the national organization; the Boy Scout Handbook included instructions on how to build a cabin, and Boys Life magazine featured completed cabins. Scouts and their fathers built the cabin; the Palmyra cabin took two years to complete on account of the Great Depression, which limited the troops funds for building supplies, and many of the cabin&#39;s materials were donated. The one-room cabin measures 22 by and uses saddle notch corners, which are designed to tighten over time as the building settles. The Boy Scouts have used the cabin continuously since it was built, and the cabin was renovated in the 2000s.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Richards Hill Residential Historic District is a national historic district in Watertown, Wisconsin. The district includes 62 buildings, nearly all of which are houses, of which 51 are considered contributing buildings to the district&#39;s historic character.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land which makes up the neighborhood was originally the estate of John Richards, who built the Octagon House on his property in the 1850s. Richards gradually subdivided his land over the late nineteenth century, and by the early twentieth century he had completely split the property into residential lots. The land was near Northwestern College, and many professors at the college bought lots in the neighborhood for their homes. The houses in the district represent the popular architectural styles of the early twentieth century, including Queen Anne, Bungalow, and period revival styles such as Tudor and Dutch Colonial. Architect George Fred Keck, who later became well-known for his Modernist work, designed the Tudor Revival Hans David & Helen Gaebler House in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2012 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year. Two properties in the district, the Octagon House and the First Kindergarten, are listed individually on the National Register; the latter was moved onto the Octagon House property in 1957 by the Watertown Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Albert and Mary Shekey House is a historic house at W7526 Koshkonong Mounds Road in the town of Koshkonong, Wisconsin. The house was built in 1885 for Mary Shekey, the daughter of two of Jefferson County&#39;s first settlers, and her husband Albert, an engineer for the Chicago & North Western Railway. It provided close access to Lake Koshkonong and the Koshkonong Place hunting lodge; it is unknown if the Shekeys, who were Janesville residents before the house was built, lived in the house full-time or used it as a summer or rental home. The house has a Queen Anne design, a popular style of the late nineteenth century, though its architect and builder are unknown. Its design includes a projecting bay on the east side, an irregular cruciform roof with several hips and gables, ornamental brackets and a frieze board with carved circles below the eaves, and Dutch gables with wooden shingles within the gable ends.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2014 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Calkins House, originally built as a single-family home, is located at 127 East 1st Street in Perry, Michigan. It now houses the Calkins-McQueen Museum, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles H. Calkins came to Michigan in 1855 with his father and uncle, and claimed 60 acres of farming land. He cleared the land and resold it, the purchased 160 acres nearer the main state road. The new farm prospered, and in about 1870 Calkins built a large house for his family.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1890s, a rail line was planned through the area, and local residents voted to establish a depot and village at the point where the line crossed the main state road. This turned out to be on Calkins&#39;s farmland, and in 1900 Calings opened his lands for purchase, founding the village of Perry. Calkins himself was instrumental in the growth of the village, starting the first general store, serving in various capacities in the village government, helping start a local bank and factory, and helping found three local churches.</p><br>
<p>Calkins lived in his house until his death in 1917. His remaining property, including his house, was inherited by his daughter, Bessie Calkins MacQueen. At her death in 1941, Mrs. MacQueen donated the house to the Village of Perry, under the condition that it be left standing and kept in good condition. The village used it for storage, or rented it out, until the early 1970s. At that time, the village planned to tear it down to construct a new city hall complex. However, it was eventually turned over to the Perry Historical Society, who developed it into the Calkins-McQueen Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Calkins House is a square, two-story, clapboarded, Italianate building with a symmetrical arrangement of doors and windows on the front facade. The first floor has a central entrance flanked by tri-sided bay windows. One-over-one sash window units are on the sides of the bays, an ornamental cornice is above and fielded panels are below. The main entrance is within a small porch with an arched molding at the top. A heavy cornice moldings similar to those over the bay windows is above, and two square columns with molded caps support the porch roof. The second story level has a narrow central one-over-one hung sash window flanked by two larger windows, each created by two one-over-one hung sash units. The windows are decorated with carved ornaments. A hipped roof tops the house.</p><br>
<p>The John N. Ingersoll House is a single-family home located at 570 West Corunna Avenue in Corunna, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Ingersoll was born in North Castle, New York in 1817. The family moved to New York City, where in 1828 John&#39;s parents died. He was adopted by his uncle, and two years later began an apprenticeship as a printer at a newspaper in New York. In 1837, Henry Barnes, owner of the Detroit Free Press, noticed Ingersoll and invited him to work in Detroit. Ingersoll moved there with his wife Harriett, but the next year he left the Free Press to become foreman on the Detroit Daily Advertiser, and in 1839 he went into the publishing business himself by publishing the Macomb Statesman in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. He moved on the St. Clair, Michigan to publish the Banner in 1842.</p><br>
<p>Ingersoll continued to wander to different papers, publishing the Lake Superior News and Miners Journal from first Copper Harbor, Michigan and then Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. He returned to Detroit, publishing two papers there, moved to Rochester, New York, and in 1858 moved to Owosso, Michigan to publish the American. Harriett Ingersoll died in 1860, and John Ingersoll settled down somewhat, entering local politics, and in 1862 merging the Owosso American with the Corunna Democrat, changing the name of the merged publication to the Shiawassee American. He married Mrs. Julia H. Barnum of Owosso in 1864, and built a new house for the family in Corunna in 1868. He continued in politice, and published papers in Corunna and Owosso until his death in 1881.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The John N. Ingersoll House is a three-bay, two-story, wood-frame Carpenter Gothic residence. The house has board and batten siding and steeply pitched gable roofs, accented with ski-slope eaves and decorative bargeboards. The front facade is symmetrical, with a wide projecting center bay. The front entryway is topped with a small-paned transom and flanked by side lights. Two four-over-four double hung sash windows are located to the right of the door. On the second story are two paired four-over-four double hung sash windows. A gable roof caps the center bay, with a curved diamond window in the gable end.</p><br>
<p>The bay to the right of center contains a tri-sided bay at the first-floor level with multi-paned double-hung sash windows. Above this is a four-over-four double hung sash window within a small gable, breaking the eavesline of the main roof. A similar window is on the second story level of the bay to the left of center. Below, a twentieth-century porch obscures the original first-floor level of the front facade on the left and center bay.</p><br>
<p>The Blessing Masonic Lodge No. 411, also known as Tres Palacios Masonic Lodge, in Blessing, Texas, was built around 1875 and moved to its current location in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>

<p>The Pistol Factory Dwelling is a historic house at 1322 Whitney Avenue in Hamden, Connecticut. Built in 1845 and enlarged before 1860, it is an unusual example of a Greek Revival worker&#39;s boarding house, built by Eli Whitney II  to house workers at his nearby pistol factory. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Pistol Factory Dwelling is located in eastern Hamden, set on a knoll above Whitney Avenue just north of its junction with Mather Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, two asymmetrically placed brick chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with windows in a slightly asymmetrical placement around the main entrance. The entrance is flanked by fluted boards that resemble pilasters, sidelight windows, and another set of fluted boards, and is topped by a half-round transom window. The side gable ends have narrow horizontal windows in them, and there is a small shed-roof ell extending to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1845 by Eli Whitney II to house skilled workers at a pistol factory he had established nearby (on a site now flooded by Lake Whitney). The house was built as a single-pile three-bay structure, with a single-story ell to the side, which was later (before 1860) raised to match the main block in height. The house was eventually sold to one of its tenants, and was moved in 1940 to accommodate road work (but retaining its orientation to the roadway). It is the only structure that survives that is related to the pistol factory, whose site was flooded in 1861 by Whitney in a bid to improve water power for a combined arms factory further downstream.</p><br>
<p>The Elisha Pitkin House is a historic house at 173 High Woods Drive in Guilford, Connecticut. With a construction history estimated to date to 1690, it is one of Connecticut&#39;s small number of surviving 17th-century buildings. It was moved to this site in 1955 from its original site in East Hartford, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Elisha Pitkin House is located in a residential subdivision in northern Guilford, on the south side of High Woods Drive near the cul-de-sac at its eastern end. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. A single-story gambrel-roofed ell, of greater antiquity, extends to its rear, and a more modern ell extends to one side. The main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows placed symmetrically around the main entrance. The entrance has a broad surround, with fluted pilasters rising to an entablature and cornice above a four-light transom window. The interior retains many original 18th-century features.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, the rear ell, was estimated by architectural historian J. Frederick Kelly to date to 1690, and was probably built by Joseph Pitkin. The main house was built in 1764 by his son Elisha, at which time roughly half of the old structure was demolished, its chimney was incorporated into the new building, and the remaining portion was used as a kitchen ell. Threatened with demolition in the 1950s, it was moved from its original site on Main Street in East Hartford to this location, at which time some of its deteriorated elements were restored.</p><br>

<p>center.</p><br>
<p>The Plaster House is a historic house at 117 Plaster House Road in Southbury, Connecticut. Probably built in the mid-18th century, it is an extremely rare example of 18th-century stone residential construction in the state. The small structure may have originally been built as a farm outbuilding by a member of locally prominent Hinman family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Plaster House is located in a rural setting of southeastern Southbury, on the south side of Plaster House Road near its western end at Jeremy Swamp Road. It is set on a parcel overlooking Jeremy Brook to the east. The house is a small -story masonry structure, built out of small rubblestone and covered in stucco. It has a gambrel roof pierced by two shed-roof dormers, with stone chimneys in the end walls. The main facade is three bays wide, with sash windows on either side of the entrance. The western gable is finished in stone, while the eastern one is framed in wood and finished in clapboards. The interior is divided into two chambers, with the larger one historically serving as a parlor and the smaller one as a kitchen. The stonework of the chimney and fireplaces are fully exposed, an unusual condition that appears to be original.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s exact construction date is unknown, but was probably no later than 1750, based on architectural evidence. Architectural historian J. Frederick Kelly assigned it a construction date of 1720, apparently without documentary evidence. The property was for many years in the hands of the Hinman family, who settled the area in the 17th century, and it is family lore that American Revolutionary War soldier Benjamin Hinman was born here. Jeremy Swamp Road, now a dirt track, was historically a major north–south route, and the property was associated with a mill whose remains are further downstream on Jeremy Brook, and whose dam makes up part of the bridge carrying Plaster House Road. The house is extremely unusual in the state due to its stone construction, which was uncommon in colonial Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>The Fire House No. 2 in Billings, Montana, at 201 S. 30th St., was built in 1911. It has also been known as the South Side Fire Station. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>

<p>It is also included in the Fort Benton Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Firestation No. 8 is a historic building in northeastern Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, that is located within the University Neighborhood Historic District, but is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The former fire station, located at 258 South 1300 East, was built in 1930. When listed, it was then the second oldest relatively intact fire station in Salt Lake City, after No. 3, built in 1914. The station was built in 1930 to serve the east bench area. It was designed to be compatible with the residential neighborhood, and has elements of English Cottage styling.</p><br>
<p>The station was operational until 1980, although used only by paramedics in the later years, because the doorways could not handle large modern firetrucks. It later served as a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the NRHP July 28, 1983. Over a decade later it was also included as a contributing building in the University Neighborhood Historic District, NRHP-listed in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Spokane Fire Station No. 3, at 1229 N. Monroe St. in West Central, Spokane, Washington, was built in 1912–1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The original Fire Station No. 3 was built in 1889 at the corner of Broadway and Madison. A new wood-frame Fire Station No. 3 was built at the present location in 1894. The current building&#39;s rear (west) part was built in 1912, behind the 1894 structure. The front part was rebuilt as a brick building around 1917.</p><br>
<p>The Colonel Asa Platt House is a historic house at 2 Tyler City Road in Orange, Connecticut. Built about 1811, it is a high-quality example of Federal period architecture, which is likely the work of New Haven builder David Hoadley. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Colonel Asa Platt House stands in a predominantly suburban residential area northeast of the town center of Orange, at the southwest corner of Tyler City Road and Racebrook Road (Connecticut Route 114). It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is four bays wide, with an irregular arrangement consisting of two closely spaced windows bays on the left half, a single window bay on the right, and the main entrance set off-center between these groupings. It is framed by sidelights, pilasters, and a half-round transom window, and is sheltered by a gabled portico supported by chamfered square posts. Above the entrance is a three-part window with narrow sash windows on either side of a larger central one. Its elements are articulated by slender pilasters, and both the sill and cornice of the grouping are bracketed. The fine woodwork continues inside, with arched openings framing the staircase and hall, and original builtin cabinetry.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built not long after Asa Platt purchased the land on which it stands in 1810. Passed to his unmarried daughters, it was eventually taken by the town for taxes, and served for a time as its poor farm. In 1847, the town sold it to William Russell, in whose family it remained in the late 20th century. The house&#39;s design is attributed to David Hoadley on account of its exceptionally fine detailing and workmanship, and by comparison to the few documented residential works of the builder.</p><br>
<p>The Engine House No. 4 in Tacoma, Washington, at 220-224 E. 26th St., was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick building with "classically inspired terra cotta details", and it has a salient four-story hose tower. It was designed by architect Frederic Shaw.</p><br>
<p>It is no longer in service as a fire station. In 2008 it was used by the City of Tacoma&#39;s traffic signal division.</p><br>
<p>The Engine House No. 8 in Tacoma, Washington, which has also been known as Fire Station No. 8, was built in 1909. Located at 4301 S. L St., it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It was designed to be compatible with its residential neighborhood: "The fire station possesses a distinctly domestic scale that seeks to harmonize the building with its residential neighbors. Its blocky mass, together with its flared gable roof, wide eaves and knee braces imitate the form of Craftsman style "chalets" that were a very popular residential type in Tacoma at this time."</p><br>
<p>This station was replaced in 2006 with a larger facility, and is now a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Wenatchee Fire Station No. 1, at 136 S. Chelan Ave. in Wenatchee, Washington, was built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 as Wenatchee Fire Station #1.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as a work of architect Ludwig O. Solberg. It includes a five-story tower, which serves both as a hose tower and as a firefighting training tower.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, "The building&#39;s symmetry and classical detailing play heavily upon the Beaux Arts styling, while the hose tower/practice tower owes it design influence to a Gothic church steeple."</p><br>
<p>The Engine House No. 11 in Tacoma, Washington, also known as Fire Station No. 11, at 3802 McKinley Ave., was built in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It has a flared gable roof.</p><br>
<p>In 1985, it was still an active fire station.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The facade of this firehouse is the basis for the exterior shots of the firehouse on the television series Tacoma FD.</p><br>
<p>The Wallingford Fire and Police Station, also known as the Wallingford Police Precinct Station, at 1629 N. 45th St. in Seattle, Washington was built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Daniel Riggs Huntington. It is a two-story 62x85 ft wood-frame building with a partial basement. It was built in 1913, then modified in 1921 when horse-drawn equipment was retired, then remodelled again in 1965.</p><br>
<p>The Boise City National Bank building in Boise, Idaho, was designed by architect James King as a 3-story, Richardsonian Romanesque commercial structure, inspired by the Marshall Field&#39;s Wholesale Store in Chicago. Construction began in April, 1891, and the building was completed in 1892.</p><br>
<p>The Boise City National Bank building also has been named the Simplot Building, the Baird Building, and the Capital Security Building. Additionally the building is known informally either as the 801 Building or as the 805 Building.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places November 28, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Boise City National Bank building was constructed on a corner lot measuring 70 feet on West Idaho Street and 60 feet on North 8th Street, and within the building the bank occupied commercial space 25 feet by 53 feet. Other storefront space opened onto 8th Street and Idaho Street. The second and third floors each contained eleven offices brightened by a central skylight.</p><br>
<p>The building features a sandstone facade, originally intended to extend only six feet above street level. Brick with stone trim would have completed the facade above the sandstone. But the design was modified a month after construction began, completing the entire facade in sandstone. Delivery of one block of stone from quarries at Table Rock weighing 14,000 pounds required a team of eight horses.</p><br>
<p>In 1904 Tourtellotte & Co. began constructing a 4th floor of the building, and the architects supervised an interior renovation and installed an elevator. Frontage on Idaho Street expanded to 150 feet, including 25 feet frontage for the Boise Butcher Co. Depth of the building expanded to 122 feet. The sandstone facade was extended to cover the new construction. When completed, the new top floor was designed further by architects Wayland & Fennell to accommodate the Boise Commercial Club.</p><br>
<p>In 1912 Tourtellotte & Hummel redesigned the 8th Street exposure, moving the bank entrance from the corner of 8th and Idaho Streets to a new location on 8th Street and expanding the bank into space previously rented by Ballou & Latimer Drug Store.</p><br>
<h2>History of Boise City National Bank</h2><br>
<p>Boise City National Bank opened April 1, 1886, in a building at 7th and Main Streets in Boise City. In May of that year it received a shipment of engraved bank notes, and in July the bank began paying interest on term deposits. In November the bank became a federal depository. By the end of 1886 the bank had nearly $64,000 in demand deposits and over $20,000 in term deposits. As its business grew, the bank needed a larger building.</p><br>
<p>Plans for the new building were drawn 18 months prior to construction in 1891, and the delay may have reflected concern at the bank that Idaho would not remain a state but revert to its pre-1890 status as a territory. And the original design was provided not by James King but by an architect in Chicago, the location of Marshall Field&#39;s Wholesale Store designed by Henry Hobson Richardson. King became the architect amid concern that Boise City did not have resources to construct the Chicago design.</p><br>
<p>After construction, Boise City National Bank occupied the building from March 26, 1892, until August 1, 1932. On that day the bank failed to open, and its assets and liabilities were placed with the Comptroller of the Currency.</p><br>
<p>Other tenants of the building in 1892 included the United States district court, the United States Marshals Service, and the United States Surveyor General&#39;s office.</p><br>

Moody Blvd., Bunnell, Florida, was built in 1918 by Samuel Merwin Bortree  as a wedding gift for his daughter Ethel Lura Bortree Holden , and her husband Thomas Edward Holden . It is an excellent example of the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style. The house was purchased by Flagler County for $40,000 on August 6, 1979 from a Holden family member. It is now a museum that features artifacts from Flagler County and the general Florida area dating from the St. Johns Culture  to the present. It is also the headquarters for the Flagler County Historical Society. The houses upstairs bathroom was one of the first indoor bathrooms in the Bunnell area and features unique small hexagon tiles on the floor which were similar to the flooring design used in the original owners pharmacy building  which is no longer extant and was located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Moody Boulevard and USA 1 in Bunnell. The Holden House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 2018 .</p><br>
<h2>Holden House History and Architectural Attributes</h2><br>
<p>The style of the Holden House is Craftsman Bungalow which was a popular architectural design in the United States from around 1900 to the mid-1930s. Craftsman Bungalow style houses are known for their many fine details and excellent workmanship. The style was influenced by earlier homes that were built by British colonists in India. This house style, which includes the Holden House, is defined by features that include wood construction, a low-pitched gabled roof with broad eaves, large front porches, practical floor plans, plastered ceilings, a fireplace and casement windows. A unique feature on the Holden House was the use of colorful pieces of apothecary bottles (glass mosaic) that were inset in the front gable. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew knocked the glass mosaic off of the gable of the front dormer. Early in 2019, white aluminum siding was installed on the gable of the front dormer to replace the glass mosaic. When the sun porch was added, sometime in the 1930s, the gable was inset with an array of multi-colored antique glass, broken dishes and at least one automobile tail light in an attempt to make it look similar to the front gable&#39;s original design.</p><br>
<p>The Holden House, now more than 100 years old, is mostly in original condition. The locally quarried coquina rock along the front porch is original. The sash windows are replacements. The chimney on the southwest side of the house was replaced a few years ago because roofers performing repairs accidentally knocked some of it down. The fireplace in the living room originally contained a kerosene stove that heated the house during the winter. The Holden&#39;s had residential air conditioning and heating installed in the house in the 1950s. The wood trim and most of the interior doors are original to the house as is the plate rail in the dining room. The kitchen sink and appliances have all been replaced but the wood cabinets are original. The breakthrough between the kitchen and dining room is original and was used for family gatherings and social events. Some of the downstairs pine wood flooring was damaged by termites and had to be removed. It was replaced by removing and installing the same undamaged wood flooring from closets on the second floor. The downstairs bathroom was added years after the house was built. A prominent feature of the second floor is an outside screened porch that is accessed through the master bedroom.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, a $57,000 historical grant from the State of Florida was awarded and a portion was used for a major renovation of the house. This is one of the main reasons the house is now in excellent cosmetic and structural condition.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, more than $23,000 was invested in additional repairs that included the replacement of damaged exterior wood siding and trim, exterior painting (which restored the house&#39;s exterior to its original color: white with green trim), installation of a metal hand rail on the rear porch, replacement of windows and the remodeling of the upstairs bathroom which included the installation of period-correct fixtures.</p><br>
<h3>Holden Family History</h3><br>
<p>Thomas Holden was born and raised in Palatka, FL and moved to Bunnell in 1914. He was a prominent Flagler County pharmacist, businessman, realtor, community activist and politician.

On October 16, 2018, the Holden House was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Revere Fire Hall, on 2nd St. in Revere, Minnesota, was built around 1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a small building with a false front. It has a square bell tower with a flagpole. It is located on a side street but near the center of Revere, about half a block from the new fire station built in 1974.</p><br>
<p>It is representative of common, specialized municipal buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Milwaukee Fire Department High Pressure Pumping Station, at 2011 South 1st Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was built in 1931. It has also been known as the Kinnickinnic River Pumping Station. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and the building was demolished in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was built to replace the function of Milwaukee Fire Department Fireboat No. 17 in the area around the pumping station, which was an area of heavy industry and where streets, railway tracks, bridges and the Kinnickinnic River crossed multiple times. It provided assurance that high pressure water could be supplied to fight fires in the area, and required a six-man crew rather than the 16-man crew required to man the fireboat. The station&#39;s 600 h.p. Allis-Chalmers three-stage centrifugal M-i type pumps delivered water at pressures on the order of 475 pounds per square inch through special mains 12 to 20 inches in diameter, as compared to a conventional city water system which delivers no more than 80 pounds per square inch and then requires pumps on fire trucks to shoot the water high onto buildings. This was the only such station built in Milwaukee.</p><br>
<p>As the city water system improved and the Great Depression weakened industry in the area, the need for the special station decreased and it was closed in 1950.</p><br>
<h2>Demolishment</h2><br>
<p>Horny Goat Brewing Company had operated a brewpub in the building from 2009 until 2015 when they listed the property for sale. Michels Corporation acquired the site for $3.6 million in April 2017. Michels applied to demolish the building one year later in April 2018. The company and City of Milwaukee officials announced a $100 million Harbor District development for the six-acre site. Because the building was not locally designated as a historic structure, no hearing was required before the Historic Preservation Commission.</p><br>
<p>The Ladies Library Association Building in Kalamazoo, Michigan was the first building erected as a womens club in the United States. It was built in 1879 by funds raised by the Ladies Library Association of Kalamazoo .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ladies&#39; Library Association of Kalamazoo was founded in 1852, with the purpose of increasing the education of is members. For the first few decades, the Association had no permanent meeting place, and focused on creating their library. However, in 1878, the association decided to construct a library building. They raised funds, and construction started in 1879. The lot for the building was donated by Ruth Webster, long-time member of the LLA. The building was designed by Chicago architect Henry Lloyd Gay and built by Frederick Bush. A kitchen wing was added in 1913.</p><br>
<p>The building became a Michigan State Historic Site in 1961 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The Ladies Library Association Building is still occupied by the Ladies&#39; Library Association of Kalamazoo. In 2013 the LLA completed restoration of the building which brought the structure to present-day code. In 2015 it received the State History Award in Historic Restoration.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ladies Library Association Building is a two-story red brick building, the original section of which is 30 feet by 60 feet with an attached tower with a footprint of 14 feet by 18 feet. A two-story kitchen wing was later added on the rear of the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Manuelita Trujillo House, near Los Ojos, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It is located 20 yd west of USA Route 84 and 200 ydsouth of the Los Brazos River.</p><br>
<p>The building has stucco over 20 in adobe walls. It was deemed notable as "a little-modified, good example of the local folk building tradition at the turn of the century. The L-shaped composition of rooms as discrete units, each with its own door (and probably built in phases) and the use of adobe come from the Hispanic roots of the tradition. The orientation towards the street, gabled roof and chamfered porch post are Anglo-American introductions. The wrap-around front porch, too, is an Anglo introduction, but used in Hispanic fashion for exterior circulation."</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Sanchez House, on the Sanchez Ranch near Los Brazos, New Mexico, was built in the 1880s. Now located off USA Route 64, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>

<p>The Longyear Drill Site is a historic mineral exploration site in Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota, United States. In 1890 the first core samples were taken there from what would become known as the Mesabi Range, one of the world&#39;s richest iron ore deposits. The exploration diamond drilling process was led by Edmund J. Longyear, who went on to drill 7,100 test pits all across the Mesabi Range. In 1976 the Iron Range Historical Society developed the site as a historic attraction with period drilling equipment. It is now managed by the city of Hoyt Lakes in partnership with the Hoyt Lakes Garden Club.</p><br>
<p>In 1977 the site was listed as the E.J. Longyear First Diamond Drill Site on the National Register of Historic Places for its state-level significance in the themes of engineering and industry. It was nominated for its association with the beginning of a mining industry pivotal to the history of Minnesota and the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Foster Hotel, at Fourth and Terrace in Chama, New Mexico, was built around 1881 and expanded twice later. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The original 1881 building is a wood-frame two-story structure, built to meet demand related to Denver and Rio Grande Railroad construction. The second stage, also two-story, added around 1927, is cement stucco over adobe. The third stage, added in 1932, was cement stucco over wood-frame construction.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as one of the first commercial buildings in Chama, and as the only commercial building which survived several fires in the town.</p><br>
<p>Leesylvania was a plantation and historic home in Prince William County, Virginia, now part of Leesylvania State Park. During the 18th century, it was the home of Henry Lee II, his family and numerous slaves, and known for its productive land and especially the quality of its tobacco. Lee&#39;s sons Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee, Richard Bland Lee and Charles Lee, held prominent positions in Virginia during the American Revolutionary War and early federal government.</p><br>
<p>Today, only a small portion of the foundation of the house remains, due to road construction in the 1950s. Lee and his wife are buried on the property (the family cemetery accessible by trail), but their headstones were moved to the Union Cemetery in Leesburg in 1969. The Leesylvania Archeological Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original tract of land comprised four headright grants of 50 acres each, given for "each person transported into the Kingdom of Virginia". In 1658, Henry Corbin acquired the land and deeded it to his daughter, Laetitia, to become hers upon coming of age or when she was married. Selected in 1679 as a site for an English fort to defend against Indians, the earliest grave dates from 1690.</p><br>
<p>When Richard "the Scholar" Lee II married Laetitia Corbin in 1675 he took ownership of the land along the Potomac River known as Freestone Point, which passed down through his son, Henry Lee I, to his grandson, Henry Lee II, who inherited the 2,000 acres that would become Leesylvania (Lee&#39;s Woods) in 1747. Around 1750 he chose the site on a high ridge overlooking the Potomac River, which is believed to have been similar to nearby Rippon Lodge, which was built around the same time.</p><br>
<p>Typical for plantations of the time, Leesylvania relied on slave labor. At the time of Lees death in 1787, he owned 55 slaves who worked the property. The plantations main crops were tobacco, corn, wheat, and dairy products. There was also a commercial fishing operation. In 1767, an enslaved man from Leesylvania named Harry, along with enslaved iron worker named Gawin from the nearby Neabsco Iron Works, attempted to poison Lucy Grymes.</p><br>
<p>When Lee died in 1787, Leesylvania was left to his wife, Lucy, and then to their second son, Charles, upon her death in 1792. He conspicuously excluded his eldest son, "Light-Horse Harry", from inheriting most of his other properties, and any other belongings, including slaves, likely due to his history of poor financial decisions. The house had burnt down in 1790, and Charles mortgaged 2,040 acres to William Lee for a brief time. It was sold by Lee II&#39;s grandson, Alfred, in 1825 to Captain Henry Fairfax. The chimney of the Fairfax home can still be seen in the park.</p><br>
<p>What remained of the plantation house was destroyed in the 1950s when a road was constructed for the Freestone Point Resort. A small portion of the foundation is visible in its original location within Leesylvania State Park. A corner of the house is reconstructed in the Visitors Center, using sandstone from the property and bricks salvaged from the original site.</p><br>
