<p>The Building at 1214 Bridge in Las Vegas, New Mexico was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was built between 1889 and 1902, and is "a modest-sized but fully detailed World&#39;s Fair Classic building. The original doors and windows have been replaced and the transom is covered, but the original brick work and pressed metal details above remain intact. It is one of three relatively unaltered buildings (ill. 28, 29) in the half block extension of the Plaza/Bridge Street commercial area which reached across the</p><br>
<p>river toward New Town at the turn of the century. By 1930, this building had already served as a hardware store, a grocery, a notions shop, and a bakery."</p><br>
<p>The Omro Village Hall and Engine House, built in 1896, was the first centralized municipal building in Omro, Wisconsin, and the seat of local government for 70 years. In 1997 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its intact Late Victorian architecture and its role in the community.</p><br>
<p>The first permanent settler at what would become Omro was Edward West, in 1845. By 1848 he had been joined by dozens of other settlers - mostly farmers. Sawmills on the river followed shortly, and in 1849 the village of Omro was platted. In 1857 the village was chartered. More businesses started, and even more after the railroad arrived in 1861. By 1891, Omro&#39;s population was 1600.</p><br>
<p>In that year the village trustees created a fire department, buying a horse-drawn fire engine and two hand-pulled hose carts. This expensive equipment needed protection, so the trustees bought a small frame building to serve as Omro&#39;s first fire engine house. At that early date, all the village offices were scattered around town.</p><br>
<p>A few years later, in 1895, the village board decided to construct a better building "for the use of the fire department, etc." Local builder and architect Fred Root proposed a design in February, 1896. Bids were taken, and by July the building was usable. Thomas Thompson was the masonry contractor and Stanton, Lillicrap and Root were carpentry contractors. The hall was built for $5000.</p><br>
<p>The building sits on a cut stone foundation, with walls of pink brick rising two stories to a hip roof, which is covered in the original standing seam metal. Above the main block a large square tower rises another two stories, incorporating a four-faced Seth Thomas clock and an open belfry. The belfry holds the original 900-pound bronze fire bell. The vertical emphasis, the asymmetrical massing, and the variety of surface textures are typical elements of Queen Anne architectural style.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the garage doors led to an engine room on the first floor, where the fire department stored its equipment. To the west, the front room originally housed the village jail, but later the public library. A straight stairway leads to the second floor, which is divided into three rooms. One was the office of the village clerk, containing a walk-in vault which protected the clerk&#39;s papers.</p><br>
<p>The 1896 village hall and engine house was used until 1966, when most of its functions moved to the Omro Theatre building. After that, some wanted to demolish the building to create parking spaces, but that was rejected in a referendum. Instead the building housed some civic organizations until 1981. Since then it has been leased to the Omro Area Historical Society and serves as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Waterloo Downtown Historic District in Waterloo, Wisconsin is a 5.2 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>

<p>The Bridge Street Historic District in Las Vegas, New Mexico was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The listing included 28 contributing buildings and a contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>It includes the Gallinas River Bridge and the 100 block of Bridge St., which was a wagon road before 1879.</p><br>
<p>It abuts the Las Vegas Plaza historic district, which also is listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Coolidge Woman&#39;s Club, at 240 W. Pinkley Ave. in Coolidge, Arizona, was built in 1928. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It is a 67x34 ft adobe building, designed by Phoenix architect C. Lewis Kelley.</p><br>
<p>It was the first building in Coolidge built for "public activities", and it "housed many civic groups and soon became the social center of the community."</p><br>
<p>The Oscar Lindsay House, at 7415 N. Main St. in Houston, Texas, was built around 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story bungalow house located in the middle of the Independence Heights neighborhood. It was deemed significant as "one of the most intact properties associated with an important businessman and city official of Independence Heights." Oscar Lindsay served as city plumber. He also operated a cleaning and pressing shop, a barber shop and an ice cream parlor business, with the latter in his front yard, taking advantage of its location on the busiest street. The NRHP nomination was prepared by a member of the Independence Heights Neighborhood Council.</p><br>
<p>The Ella Lewis Store and Rental Houses, at 3404-3406-3408 Courtland St. in Houston, Texas, were built around 1920. The collection was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The listing included three contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It included a two-story General Store, which was "the center of businesses operated by Lewis. It is covered in a large gable roof with horizontal siding and is surrounded by large deciduous and omamental trees. Two 1-story rental houses are south of the General Store. These are the last of four houses that continued to the intersection of 34th and Courtland</p><br>
<p>Streets. Each house is noted by a metal gable roof and inset porches in a basic shotgun form with bungalow features."</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "a significant example of independent businesses operated by African Americans in Independence Heights. They are also representative of local commerce and ethnic heritage."</p><br>
<p>The Charles Johnson House, at 301 E. 35th St. in Houston, Texas, was built around 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It was one of the earliest houses built in the Independence Heights neighborhood. It was deemed notable as "a representative example of an early 20th century vernacular L-plan form similar to many houses in Independence Heights", and for its association with Charles Johnson. Johnson, "known as Charlie, was one of three ice men who provided an important service to residents of Independence Heights as early as 1915 through the 1920s. Typical of many Independence Heights businesses, Johnson operated the delivery service out of his home."</p><br>
<p>The Mississippi Federation of Womens Clubs Headquarters houses the Mississippi Federation of Womens Clubs . It was constructed in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration .</p><br>
<h2>Mississippi Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs</h2><br>
<p>The Mississippi Federation of Womens Clubs (MS FWC) is a womans club founded in 1898. It has been a member of the General Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs since 1904. It continues to maintain the headquarters in Jackson.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Mississippi Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs Headquarters was built in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project. It was designed by Robert W. Naef and Associates in the Georgian-Revival style. It was listed as a Mississippi Landmark in 1986 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The David A. Carden House, at 718 W. 17th Ave. in the Houston Heights neighborhood of Houston, Texas, was built in 1918. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story wood-frame building. Its NRHP nomination states: "The David A. Carden House is an excellent and unique example of an owner-built bungalow in the Houston Heights. Although following certain traditional patterns found in similar designs (ie. hipped roof, dormers, and wide eaves) Mr. Carden borrowed an element from the Victorian styles: the spindled frieze placed along the perimeter of the porch. Echoing this element are the turned-wood balusters. Both assist in making this house a unique statement of owner/builder individuality in the area."</p><br>
<p>The Ben C. and Jenetter Cyrus House, at 325 E. 25th St. in the Independence Heights neighborhood of Houston, Texas, was built around 1915, near the center of Independence Heights. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It was described in its NRHP nomination as "typical of the housing for many of the middle-class residents of Independence Heights. Ben Cyms operated a jitney service in downtown Houston from about 1915 to the early 1920s. Jitneys provided a basic form of mass transportation in a number of major cities during this period and competed with electric streetcars. Black jitneys served a special role for the African American population as an alternative to other segregated forms of transportation. The City of Houston banned by ordinance all black owned jitneys in 1922-24 at the insistence of the Houston Electric Company, operators of the streetcar line and developing motor bus transportation." The property deemed significant in the area of Ethnic Heritage (black)."</p><br>
<p>About the house: "Although modest in detailing, the house is typical of forms constructed in the city in the mid 1910s. The Cyms House served as a domestic space for the family but also a headquarters for his jitney service in Houston."</p><br>
<p>The William Mackey House, at 313 E. 37th St. in the Independence Heights neighborhood of Houston, Texas, was built around 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It is a modified L-plan form house, of type popular at the turn of the 20th century, and "reflects local builder and homeowner preferences for a traditional house form."</p><br>
<p>It was home of William Mackey, a community leader. He was Camp Commander of the American Woodmen</p><br>
<p>Camp 272 and Tent 272, one of three fraternal organizations in Independence Heights. No other properties historically associated with</p><br>
<p>other fraternal organizations survive. The house also was the "initial meeting place for the Unity School of Christianity. Although little is known about the school, it was one of the many religious groups that organized in the community during the early 20th century. Several extant church congregations began in the homes of local residents, but almost none of these remain."</p><br>
<p>The Eldorado Hotel, at 514 Grand in Las Vegas, New Mexico, was built around 1900. It was later briefly known as the Monticello Hotel. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Based probably the fact that its facade includes semi-circular arches it has been asserted to be Romanesque or Richardsonian Romanesque in style.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination asserts "The Eldorado is perhaps the leading remaining example of the local style of brickwork which developed after the establishment of a brickyard in 1898. The arches remain from the Richardsonian Romanesque and the strong symmetry comes from the prevailing classicism. The creativity of local builder/bricklayers shows in the fine embellishments—the stepped and corbeled lines, the projecting brick accents and the recessed panels."</p><br>
<p>In 1983 it was owned by the city of Las Vegas and was operated as the Vincente Salazar Senior Citizen&#39;s Center.</p><br>
<p>The Independence Heights Residential Historic District is a 70 acre historic district in the Independence Heights neighborhood of Houston, Texas which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by N. Yale St. on the west, E. 34th St. on the north, N. Columbia St. on the east, and the I-610 on the south. It included 125 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The San Jacinto Street Bridge is a viaduct which crosses Buffalo Bayou in Houston, Texas. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . This bridge was built in 1914 to replace an iron pivot bridge of 1883 origin, and rehabilitated in 1997. It is a transportation conduit connecting downtown and the historical Fifth Ward.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>San Jacinto Street has its origins in the founding of Houston. It was designated as a street in the original plat of Houston from October 1836. Houston constructed its first bridge spanning Buffalo Bayou on San Jacinto in 1883. This conveyed traffic to downtown from the Fifth Ward, where many working-class people lived. Houstons wharf at the foot of Main Street still received and dispatched ships, so any bridge at San Jacinto needed to allow their passage. This first viaduct was made of iron and pivoted on a pedestal installed on Buffalo Bayous northern bank.</p><br>
<p>Houston constructed a new bridge on San Jacinto in 1914. The area just north from downtown, the Fifth Ward, was a burgeoning industrial area separated from downtown by Buffalo Bayou. Mayor Horace Baldwin Rice was an advocate of the City Beautiful movement, thus was motivated by aesthetic considerations in choosing a bridge design. The bridge spans 325 feet and is in part supported by twenty-foot pilings. A fifty-foot roadbed is flanked by ten-foot cantilevered sidewalks.</p><br>
<p>The San Jacinto Street Bridge was rehabilitated in 1997. Major design features such as the open spandrel arch were retained. The decking was replaced with new reinforced concrete. The original railings with oval apertures were recast with a new concrete balustrade with rectangular openings.</p><br>
<p>The Idaho Building in Boise, Idaho, is a 6-story, Second Renaissance Revival commercial structure designed by Chicago architect, Henry John Schlacks.  Constructed for Boise City real estate developer Walter E. Pierce in 1910–11, the building represented local aspirations that Boise City would become another Chicago. The facade features brick pilasters above a ground floor stone base, separated by seven bays with large plate glass windows in each bay. Terracotta separates the floors, with ornamentation at the sixth floor below a denticulated cornice of galvanized iron.</p><br>
<p>The building replaced Thompson&#39;s Livery barn at 8th and Bannock Streets. The Chicago firm of H. Ellenberger was responsible for construction, and the Idaho Statesman said of the building in 1911, "The architectural scheme is one of extreme simplicity, and the builder has given his work the appearance of massive solidity."</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places December 8, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Early tenants of the building included W. E. Pierce & Co., Pierce-Hopper Insurance Agency, Boise Title & Trust Co., Senator William Borah, United States Forest Service, Joy Drug Store, Ada County Attorney, Wayland & Fennell, Margaret Giles beauty parlor, and the chairman of the local Republican Party. Later, the Democratic Central Committee leased offices in the building.</p><br>
<p>In 1969 the Idaho Building was considered for demolition along with other buildings in a 60-block area of Boise&#39;s historic core when a developer designed a large, outdoor shopping mall as part of a plan for urban renewal. In 1970 the outdoor mall plan was adjusted to spare the Idaho Building, but in 1976 the building was again slated for destruction. The mall was not constructed, however, and the Idaho Building was preserved.</p><br>
<p>The building was renovated to include residential space above the second floor in 2000, and space in the building was leased to a Boise hostel from 2010 until 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Other buildings named Idaho Building</h2><br>
<p>The Idaho Building in Boise is not the only structure named "Idaho Building." In 1913 an Idaho Building opened in Meridian, Idaho. An Idaho Building represented the state of Idaho at the 1893 World&#39;s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; an Idaho Building won second place at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis; and an Idaho Building won a gold medal at the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland.</p><br>
<p>The Shawn-Guerin House, at 140 Delgado in Las Vegas, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states: "Like the Angel House on South Pacific (ill. 18), the Shawn-Guerin House represents a local builders novel adaptation of contemporary architectural features. Stone is used where brick was in the Colonial Revival and Bungalow Style houses on the other side of the river. The buildings massing and wide eaves recall the Bungalow Style, while the classical columns of the porch and the symmetrical window/door/window beneath reflect turn of the century classicism."</p><br>
<p>The Arturo Angel House, at 926 S. Pacific in Las Vegas, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states: "This particular combination of the Hispanic adobe tradition with late Anglo introduction from the Colonial Revival and, to a lesser extent, from the Bungalow Style, is unique in Las Vegas. The Colonial Revival houses built in New Town after 1900 typically had brick first floors and intersecting frame gables or gambrel roofs over a square or rectangular shape. The builder here substitutes adobe for brick, but retains the traditional single file(s) of rooms, in a T-shape. The narrowness of the base requires the lengthening of the first slope of the gambrel roof to maintain usable second floor space. That roof and the three-part window group recall the Colonial Revival Style; the exposed rafters of the dormers, the Bungalow Style; and the continuous lintels, the local Tudor Style. Arturo, then Ramundo Angel lived here."</p><br>
<p>The A.T. & S.F. Roundhouse in Las Vegas, New Mexico, located at the corner of Grande ave. and Prince st. was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The First Las Vegas roundhouse would begin construction in August 1879, and finish just one year after the A.T.& S.F. connected to the Las Vegas Terminal. The building, which had a low-style roundhouse design would begin its life with accommodations for at least seven engines in total for storage and general maintenance. In September 1881 just one year after its installation, four additional stalls were added to the roundhouse for carpentry and rolling stock repair. A new 54&#39; turntable was installed. An additional wing on the roundhouse was built large enough to contain nine more engines and between 1897 and 1899, a 60-foot turntable was installed. The roundhouse would ultimately end its days at twenty stalls in total.</p><br>
<p>Due to the increased size of locomotives, it became necessary for the A.T.& S.F. to rebuild the turntable to 85 in March 1904. Demand for better infrastructure and presumed work increase, the railroad would demolish the original roundhouse in favor of larger work space. The building was destroyed by fire on August 6, 1917, and replaced with a 34 Stall roundhouse with a reinforced concrete structure. This new and improved roundhouse would bill a whopping $200,000 in improvement costs to the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad. Calculated with inflation in 2023, the improvement would cost 5.6 million dollars. The original turntable would remain but would shortly after be upgraded to 100 for even larger engines. This still was not enough, so the WYE track for the Hot Springs lead was used to turn engines around instead, creating a bottleneck for the use of the roundhouse.</p><br>
<p>It would not be long before news of layoffs and job cuts littered the Las Vegas Optics. Only four years after the 34 Stall roundhouse was built, in 1921, many families who relied on the railroad, would be short of income and seeking other opportunity. At its peak, the roundhouse would have over 380 trainmen working three shifts from boilermakers, car repair, welders, and fabricators. A recent survey done in 2019 by the NRHS states that the building is in a "deteriorated" condition. The building since has offered storage opportunities from alleged turkey farms, wool companies, truck storage, and other agricultural ventures.</p><br>
<p>The Dayton Womens Club refers to a womens club founded in 1916 and a landmark building on 225 North Ludlow Street in Dayton, Ohio, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Dayton Women&#39;s Club</h2><br>
<p>The Dayton Womens Club was founded and incorporated in 1916. The club provided a social center for women and one of its first tasks was to raise funds to purchase the mansion on 225 North Ludlow Street as a clubhouse. The club is involved with philanthropic and educational work as well as the preservation of the property. In 2006, the Dayton Womens Club began admitting men into its organization.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Dayton Womens Club building was built in the 1840s for Robert W. Steele, who subsequently sold the house to Napoleon Bonapart Darst in the 1860s. At that time the building underwent extensive renovations, changing the style from Classic Revival to Second Empire style. The Dayton Womens Club began its fundraising campaign to purchase the building in 1916, raising the $5,000 down payment. In 1918 an addition of 21 rooms was constructed which provided housing for "ladies of good character." In the early 1980s the last tenant left and the space was once again reconfigured.</p><br>
<p>The Dayton Women&#39;s Club building was added to the list of National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Womens Athletic Club of Alameda County, at 525 Bellevue Ave. in Oakland, California, was built in 1928–29. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It has also been known as The Bellevue Club, as Womens Athletic Club, and as Bellevue Club Building.</p><br>
<p>The Women&#39;s Athletic Club of Alameda was formed in 1926 and purchased the site. It hired architects Charles F.B. Roeth and E. Geoffrey Bangs to design their building. Its name was changed to "The Bellevue Club" in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The building is a 47,000 ft&sup2; clubhouse, with a stucco exterior, plus an internal parking garage. It was built as a five-story (plus partial basement and attic) squarish footprint building, with a one-story section behind. A one-story garage addition at the rear was added in 1964. The interior spaces are Chateauesque or Classical Revival in style.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago and North Western Roundhouse in Huron, South Dakota was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The listing included two contributing buildings and a contributing structure of the Chicago & North Western Railroad. It has also been known as C&NW Roundhouse and as Huron Roundhouse.</p><br>
<p>The roundhouse was built around 1907, with brick laid in common bond. The railway turntable, built at about the same time, is 75 ft long. An office and storage building also from the same time, is a single-story building.</p><br>
<p>The Camron-Stanford House is the last of the 19th-century Victorian mansions that once surrounded Lake Merritt in Oakland, California. It was the home to a series of influential families, and in 1907, became the city&#39;s first museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The home was built in 1876, and its first occupants were William Walker Camron and his wife, Alice (Marsh) Camron. She was the daughter of Dr. John Marsh, who was a California pioneer. Marsh was influential in encouraging wagon trains of settlers to come to California and also in its obtaining independence from Mexico. He owned the 13,000-acre Rancho los Meganos and the large, stone house of John Marsh that he built there, in what is now Marsh Creek State Park, still stands. He was murdered by a disgruntled employee, and as a young woman, Alice received a large inheritance, which she used to purchase the Camron-Stanford house from its builder, Samuel Merritt.</p><br>
<p>Her husband, William Camron, was a deputy sheriff and was active in the Republican Party. He was appointed to a vacant seat on the Oakland City Council, and later became a member of the California State Assembly.</p><br>
<p>Next to occupy the home was the family of David Hewes. He made and lost several fortunes. He is best known for donating one of the golden spikes used in the celebration of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah in 1869.</p><br>
<p>The Josiah Stanford family owned the home from 1882 to 1903. Josiah Stanford was a brother of Leland Stanford, who was one of the founders of the Central Pacific Railroad, which built the portion of the first transcontinental railroad east from Sacramento to Promontory Summit.</p><br>
<p>In 1907, the city of Oakland purchased the Camron-Stanford house and other private residences bordering Lake Merritt. The city razed the other homes and created Lakeside Park. It established the Oakland Museum in the Camron-Stanford house, which occupied the house for the next five decades. The museum merged with the Oakland Art Gallery and the Snow Museum and in 1965, moved to other quarters. However, public interest and donations saved the Camron-Stanford House, and today it is an independent museum.</p><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 13, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha Turntable in Currie, Minnesota was built in 1901. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It has also been known as the Currie Railroad Turntable or the Currie Manually Operated Railroad Turntable.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1901, it is a manually operated railway turntable built by the American Bridge Company for the end of a Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway branch line.</p><br>
<p>There is mention of a railway roundhouse having existed, but no specific evidence this was in fact a roundhouse as opposed to a single engine workshop/shed.</p><br>
<p>The James B. Crosby House is a historic house in Janesville, Wisconsin. It was built in the 1850s, and it became a hospital in the 1880s, only to be converted into apartments in the late 1930s. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in the 1850s for James B. Crosby, who first worked as the cashier of the Rock County Bank and later as the manager of the Harris Manufacturer Company. Crosby sold the house to the Judd family in 1868, and they turned it into a private hospital, known as Oaklawn Hospital, in 1882. It remained in the Judd family until 1888, and it was owned by several families until 1907, when it was purchased by Father Lawrence Vaughan, a Roman Catholic priest who only lived here for a year. It was owned by several families from 1908 to 1938, when it was converted into separate apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Italianate architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 14, 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Glendale Womans Club was first organized in 1901 as a “Self Culture Club”, the primary aim of the Woman’s Club was self-improvement from a literary standpoint. They raised money for the first library and city parks. In 1898 the lumber company moved to a new two-story office building; Mr. Messenger could no longer manage the library. A library association was formed . The women’s club bought up stock and then assigned members to vote. Mrs. May Catlin Hanson, through club member Mrs. Lafe Myers, donated a building which was placed in park to house the library until a new one could be built. Mrs. Robert Clark and Mrs. J.M.  Pearson took the lead. Mary took a class on “Library work” in Phoenix to be able to “start it out right.” . By 1907, membership had increased to fifty members and it became impossible to continue meeting in homes, so the group began to think of acquiring its own clubhouse. On February 21, 1912, exactly 1 week after Arizona became the 48th state, the Club was recognized 501c3 non profit corporation with 85 members. The Glendale Womans Club is a member of the General Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs.</p><br>
<p>The Glendale Woman&#39;s Clubhouse, at 7032 North 56th Avenue. in Glendale, Arizona, was built in 1913. In 1912, $5 shares of stock were sold to build one of the first Woman’s Club clubhouses in Arizona. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse served as a Sunday meeting place for various church denominations, starting in 1914. It was used by the Red Cross during World War I for making bandages, sewing, and packing supplies.</p><br>
<p>The Union Park Hotel is a historic hotel building located at 1519-1521 W. Warren Boulevard in Chicago, Illinois. The building was built in 1929-30 as an apartment hotel, a common type of housing for Chicago laborers in the 1920s. The hotels Art Deco design reflects the national popularity of the style in the 1920s. The buildings piers give it a vertical emphasis common to Art Deco works, and its decorative elements reflect the styles geometric focus. The colorful brick and terra cotta facade of the building is also characteristic of Art Deco buildings of the late 1920s, though color is seldom used extensively in Chicagos other Art Deco buildings.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 7, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Willcox Womens Club was incorporated in 1916 which allowed the club to own property. The club was a member of the Arizona State Federation of Womens Clubs.

<p>It was designed by architect A.C. Bruce and was built from 1873 to 1874. It has been expanded and modified over the years, and includes Second Empire and Italianate stylings.</p><br>
<p>On Veterans Day 2019, the Hamblen County Veterans Memorial was completed on the courthouse front lawn. There is a Civil War Trails sign detailing Morristown during the Civil War and the 1864 Battle of Morristown also on the front lawn.</p><br>
<p>The Woman&#39;s Club of Topeka was named as an entity in 1916 but has earlier roots. Its building, located just one-half block west of the Kansas State Capitol and completed in 1925, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>A federation of women&#39;s clubs in Topeka and its area was formed in 1897, and became the Topeka Federation of Women in 1912. It "promoted other forms of musical education and entertainment", donated pictures and statues to local schools, donated books and magazines to various institutions, and sought to introduce domestic science and manual arts training into public schools&#39; curricula.</p><br>
<p>In 1903 after a flood (the Heppner flood of 1903 in Oregon?), the club raised funds for disaster relief. During World War I it supported the war effort in various ways.</p><br>
<p>The Woman&#39;s Club Building, also known as The Clubhouse of the Woman&#39;s Club of Topeka, at 420 W. 9th St. in Topeka, Kansas was built during 1923–25. It is a three-story brick building with cut stone trim and is 90x100 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>The Hendel Building, more commonly known as the Skinny Building, is a commercial building in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At only 5 ft wide, it is one of the narrowest commercial buildings in the world, rivaling the Sam Kee Building in Vancouver which is considered the narrowest by Guinness World Records. The Kee building is 4 ft wide at the ground floor, but has overhanging bay windows on the second floor that extend to 6 ft. The Skinny Buildings narrow lot was created in 1903 by a street widening project, and the building itself was constructed in 1926 by Louis Hendel , partly out of spite for neighboring business owners who complained about him obstructing the sidewalk with his fruit-selling business. Due to the buildings impractical dimensions, the second and third floors have not seen much use, but the ground floor has housed a number of different businesses including a popular lunch counter. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property in the Fourth Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Origins</h3><br>
<p>The narrow lot on which the building stands originated in 1903, when Diamond Street (now Forbes Avenue) was widened in order to ease downtown traffic congestion. This required the demolition of several buildings on the north side of the street between Smithfield Street and Market Square, one of which was a two-story brick store owned by Hugh McKee. After the widening, only a 6 ft by 80 ft strip remained from McKees formerly standard-sized lot. Other inconveniently sized parcels were consolidated into neighboring properties, but Greek-American entrepreneur D. J. Demas saw a business opportunity and secured a ten-year lease on McKees lot. The Pittsburgh Gazette reported that "A frame building of shack proportions is now being erected on the site. In this narrow stand will be a shoe shining emporium, an ice cream and soda dispensary, a peanut market, and a fruit stand."</p><br>
<p>In 1907, Andrew Mellon bought the property from McKee for $40,000. Mellon sold the building in 1918 to one of its tenants, fruit vendor Louis Hendel, who paid $95,000. At the time of the sale, The Gazette Times reported "The property has an obsolete improvement consisting of a one-story building. Mr. Hendels place of business is in the rear, a cigar stand occupies the front, while a small restaurant is conducted in the intervening space." Hendel continued to run his business for the next eight years, but had frequent run-ins with authorities and neighboring business owners over sidewalk obstruction issues, as there was no room for customers inside the store. In 1926, a group called the Diamond Street Sidewalks Association was organized specifically to lobby against Hendel and other "sidewalk nuisances" along the street. Led by John Donahoe, who managed the Donahoes food store next door to Hendel&#39;s business, the association ran advertisements targeting Hendel by name under the headline "Is this man higher than the law?"</p><br>
<h3>Hendel Building</h3><br>
<p>Despite the bad press, Hendel decided in 1926 to double down on his investment by building a new three-story building on the site. According to family members, he was motivated at least partly by spite for his hostile neighbors. After an initial refusal, Hendel managed to secure a building permit from the city and began construction on July 29. The Diamond Street Sidewalks Association lobbied against the "so called building", alleging permit violations, but were not able to stop the project. Hendel&#39;s first tenants, a cigar store and a restaurant, signed their leases in early December.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, the Lincoln Restaurant opened on the top two floors, catering to African-American customers who had few places to eat in the area. The Pittsburgh Courier reported that Hendel, a Jew, was sympathetic to the black community: "Mr. Hendel owns the building in which the restaurant is located. Through his friendship with Mr. Jefferson and the desire to help the colored race, he has leased this property, disregarding the bitter comments of the nearby white business men, in order that we might have a decent place to eat in the downtown section." Advertising "cozy booths for two" in the "world&#39;s narrowest building", the restaurant was said to have a row of narrow tables along one wall like a dining car, and "drew a patronage composed chiefly of the curious." Evidently it was not a successful venture as it was already out of business by 1931.</p><br>
<p>While the upper levels of the building did not see much use, the ground floor housed a number of tenants over the years, including Hendels original fruit store. Although it eventually outgrew the space, the company survived until the 1980s. (Hendel himself died in 1945 in Miami Beach.) Another successful tenant was a lunch counter called Raywells, which operated from 1938 to 1979. Patrons of the restaurant sat on stools with their backs to the street, facing a narrow counter with about 18 in of space behind for the employees—too narrow for the two waitresses to pass each other. A grill was installed in the corner. The building has housed various businesses since Raywell&#39;s closed and as of 2015 was occupied by a clothing store.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, the Hendel Building was proposed for demolition as part of the Market Place redevelopment project, though this ultimately did not come to fruition. However, the debate brought attention to the unusual building. In 2001, community activists turned the upstairs windows into an outward-facing art gallery displaying "images of, variously, graffiti art, vintage strippers and the late sportscaster Myron Cope". It was listed as a contributing property in the Fourth Avenue Historic District when the boundaries of the district were increased in 2013. That same year, the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) bought the building, along with the neighboring Roberts Jewelers building, for $1.3 million. The Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation used leftover money from a state grant to renovate the exteriors of both buildings in 2014.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, the URA approved the sale of the Skinny Building and Roberts Building to PNC for $1.3 million. As part of the sale, PNC agreed to preserve the exteriors of both buildings and work with preservationists to make sure any changes are historically sensitive. PNC planned to convert the Roberts Building to office space, while the upper floors of the Skinny Building would be used to display art. PNC completed a renovation of the building in 2024.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Skinny Building is 80 ft long and 5 ft wide. It is a three-story, steel-framed building with a brick, wood, and glass facade. The Forbes Avenue elevation is four bays wide with large, multi-pane windows. The windows vary in size, but each has a central casement flanked by large panes on either side, with three or five small multi-pane transom lights above. The short sides of the building, facing Wood Street and Book Way, are one bay wide and have single-pane windows with multi-pane transom lights. The top of the building has a projecting cornice and a hipped tile roof that slopes up toward the neighboring Roberts building. The upper floors are accessed by narrow, steep staircases; there is also reportedly a basement.</p><br>
<p>The Route 66 Bridge over the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railroad, in Wheeler County, Texas near Shamrock, Texas, was built in 1932. It carried Route 66 traffic until 1960. It now carries the south frontage road of Interstate 40 over the former Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railway right-of-way. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>It is a five-span, steel and concrete bridge, 125 ft long, with a 24 ft wide roadway in a 27 ft wide deck. Its main span is steel I-beams encased in concrete; the other spans are reinforced concrete girders supported by reinforced concrete pile bents.</p><br>
<p>The Brandon Auditorium and Fire Hall, on Holmes Ave. in Brandon, Minnesota, is a historic fire station and other facility. It has also been known as the Brandon Auditorium and City Hall. It was built as a Works Progress Administration project during 1935–36. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It is a unique municipal hall. It has been described as Minnesota&#39;s most creative WPA construction project and a symbol of its dual success in generating jobs and public buildings.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Minneapolis architect F. Boes Pfeifer to serve as a combination gymnasium/auditorium, fire hall, and village office. It had a 27 ft stage, and a balcony with a movie projection booth. The Brandon Auditorium was completed in 1936 and formally dedicated in October of that year with a crowd of 5,000 in attendance.</p><br>
<h2>Current use and restoration</h2><br>
<p>The building is still used for many purposes today, and serves as home to the Brandon History Center. The two-stall fire engine garage has been no longer operational since the 1970s. By the 2000s the building needed both upgrading and significant restoration work. New windows had been added in 1991. Restoration work began in 2008 and included a new heating and air conditioning system, replacement of exterior doors with historically accurate ones, tuck pointing and waterproofing the exterior walls, masonry cleaning and stabilizing, chimney repair, and railing repair.</p><br>
<h2>WPA artworks</h2><br>
<p>The building features several WPA Federal Art Projects including a cast concrete relief sculpture of a male athlete and a musician flanking a stylized tree watching guard over the main entrance and two large wooden relief carvings frame the auditorium stage by artist Joseph Bergman. Artist Elsa Laubach Jemne created a large mural painting originally for the city council room. The mural is now on display in the building&#39;s auditorium. Elsa was commissioned to do several new deal mural projects around Minnesota and three of her works are in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Gallery Restoration work</h2><br>
<p>The Pine Island City Hall and Fire Station, at Main and 3rd Streets in Pine Island, Minnesota, United States, also known as the Pine Island City Hall, was built in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as a government building representative of the multipurpose municipal facilities commonly built in southeastern Minnesota in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story 40x60 ft plan building of orange-yellow brick. It has round-arched doorways, with double doors. It has gargoyles.</p><br>
<p>Not only did the building include "a large hall, jail, fire station, and council chambers under one roof, but with its massive scale and flamboyant tower, it also served as a statement of strong civic pride."</p><br>
<p>The Milo Prentice Newberry House is a single-family house located at 705 Bloomer Road in Rochester, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. It is the last remaining Victorian-era farmhouse located within the limits of the City of Rochester.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Milo Prentice Newberry was born in 1825, in Oneida County, New York, the son of Romeo and Sarah Beckwith Newberry. The Newberry family moved to Oakland County in 1835. Milo Newberry attended school in Rochester, and in 1849 married Mary Jane Hoyt. The couple first lived near where Romeo and Milo Newberry had constructed a sawmill, but in 1857 Milo sold the property land purchased a ten-acre parcel where this house now stands. He constructed another sawmill and began operating it. In 1859, he left for a year as part of the Pike&#39;s Peak Gold Rush. Newberry returned from the gold rush with enough money to open a cabinet shop.</p><br>
<p>Newberry also had enough money to finance the construction of a new house, which he began about 1863. In 1867, he purchased an additional 80 acres, and began transitioning away from his sawmill and into farming. The Newberrys eventually owned 149 acres of land. Milo and Mary Jane Newberry raised five children in the house. However, Mary Jane died in 1876, and Milo Newberry married his second wife, Eliza Baldwin, in 1877. Milo and Eliza had another two children.</p><br>
<p>Milo Newberry lived in this house until his death in 1909. At this time, Milos granddaughter, Mabell Howell Frank, and her husband Lucius "Bert" Frank, purchased the property, but Newberrys wife Eliza, continued to occupy the house until her death in 1919. Bert and Mabell Frank then moved into the Milo Newberry house, and some time in the 1920s enclosed the porch and made some additions to the rear of the structure. They lived in the house and farmed the property until their deaths in 1969 and 1970. At this time, all but five acres of the farmland were sold. The Franks&#39; granddaughter, Bette M. Frank Reddish and her husband, Michael Reddish, purchased the house in 1974, and as of 2018, Bette Frank Reddish continues to live in the Newberry house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Milo Prentice Newberry House is a mid-19th century Victorian farmhouse containing Italianate details. It is an unusual Y-shape design with 3 gable wings, a design of which there are no other known local examples. The design was likely one of Newberry&#39;s own creation. The walls are constructed of 2" solid oak and black walnut planks covered with horsehair plaster on the interior. The house is clad with cedar siding on exterior. Some of the windows still contain the original hand blown glass.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan Ayres House is a single-family home located at 604 North Water Street in Owosso, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Nathan Ayres was born in 1842 and arrived in Owosso as a young man. He was a brick mason by trade, and was well-off enough that in about 1883 he constructed this brick home on North Water Street. Little more is known about Nathan, but his daughter, Effie, (born in 1867), was educated in Owosso and taught in the local school system for many years before being promoted to principal at Owosso&#39;s Central School.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Nathan Ayres House is an Italianate structure with a distinctive five-sided bay on the front facade. It has tall one-over-one double hung sash windows topped with carved stone lintels, a broad front porch, and squared brackets underneath the eaves of a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>The Leigh Christian House is a single-family home located at 622 North Ball Street in Owosso, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1885, Daniel M. Christian opened a large dry-goods business in Owosso, the first real store in the town. By the turn of the century, Christians store had evolved into the first real department store in town. Christians son, Leigh was also involved in the business, and in 1895 Leigh constructed this house on Ball Street. Daniel Christian eventually turned the store over to Leigh Christian, who continued to stock a well-diversified array of products, but focused more on apparel and household goods. Leigh eventually moved out of this house into his father&#39;s house (the Goodhue-Christian House in the Oliver Street Historic District).</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Leigh Christian House has a mix of Queen Anne and Georgian Revival architectural elements. The Queen Anne details include the broad front porch, diverse window styles, and steeply pitched roof. Georgian Revival elements include the symmetry of the main mass, the balance of window locations, the Ionic columns on the front porch, and the small balcony on the second story.</p><br>
<p>The Oliveros House is located at 59 St. George Street, St. Augustine, Florida. It was built of coquina during the Second Spanish Period in Florida . Today it is a reconstructed building, standing on original foundations which were unearthed during archaeological excavations.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The current Oliveros House was the fourth structure to occupy the site at 59 St. George Street. The first building at the site was a wooden house, the second a tabby structure, and the third, again, a wooden house. It was a two-story house with a ground floor consisting of three rooms and a loggia area. The original flooring was apparently wooden. Archaeologists have found partial remains of a coquina and brick fireplace in the north room. The loggia contained a stairway to the second floor and bedrooms.</p><br>
<h2>Early Occupants</h2><br>
<p>An early Spanish map indicates that a Pedro González, native of Galicia, owned the original dwelling. González was married to Isabel Rodríguez of St. Augustine in 1733. They had five children together.</p><br>
<p>In 1763, when Great Britain occupied Florida, most Spanish residents left for Havana. This house was not sold during British occupation, as evidenced by a British map that shows this property as a lot and house in the trusteeship of Jesse Fish, who was a prominent agent for the sale of Spanish property.</p><br>
<p>In 1783, one of the five González children, Juan, married Juana Montes de Oca in Havana. She was also a native of St. Augustine and later would return to Florida as a widow with five children to make a claim for and henceforth live in her father-in-law&#39;s house. The Spanish government officially returned the property to widow Juana Montes de Oca in 1784.</p><br>
<p>1788 records showed that the house was "of wood and shingles, covered with palm leaves in fair condition, the property of Juana Montes de Oca." De Oca died in 1791 and the house disappeared from records until 1798.</p><br>
<p>That same year, de Oca&#39;s daughter Maria González Montes de Oca sold the lot to Sebastian de Oliveros.</p><br>
<h2>The Oliveros Family</h2><br>
<p>Oliveros was a sailor and native of Corsica who came to St. Augustine in 1733. According to documents of October 4, 1798, he "bought from the González Montes de Oca family their lot where he built a home for his family which consisted of a two-story coquina house." Oliveros married Catalina Usina, a local Minorcan girl, and rebuilt the house using coquina. Oliveros frequently sailed to Charleston and northern ports within the United States. He was a victim of piracy in 1804 and was lost at sea.</p><br>
<p>Eleven years after her husband&#39;s death, Usina petitioned the Spanish Crown for permission to sell the property. She moved out of the house and rented it to a Gaspar Arnau, a mariner and ship owner, who eventually purchased the property. He operated a shop and a way station in the home. Records described it as, "a continuous salon on the ground floor and another upstairs without furring."</p><br>
<p>The yard had a masonry wall. To the rear was a kitchen and the well. The Oliveros House existed until 1908.</p><br>
<h2>San Agustín Antiguo</h2><br>
<p>With generous funding from L.C. Ringhaver, the Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board and St. Augustine Restoration, Inc. restored this site in 1964 as part of its living history museum village, San Agustín Antiguo. During this time the Oliveros House was used to display Hispanic cigar-making practices.</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>Today at this site is the retail store Flaglers Legacy, the official spirit shop operated by and for Flagler College. Flaglers Legacy opened for business in the Oliveros House in Spring 2000. Flaglers Legacy seeks to market the College globally and is operated by College students and alumni. All profits from Flaglers Legacy are put into Flagler College general fund. The building is owned by St. Augustine Restoration, Inc.</p><br>
<p>The Womans Club of Lincoln is a historic womens club. Its clubhouse, at 499 E St. in Lincoln, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The club began as a Womans Improvement Club in 1911 "for the purpose of serving the community and enriching the lives of its members. This womens group eventually became the Woman&#39;s Club of Lincoln, a club historically significant for its involvement in the welfare of the citizens of the community and its interest in the betterment and beautification of the City of Lincoln." It organized more formally, by adopting by-laws, in 1922 and had its building constructed during 1923–24. The clubhouse is a one-story stuccoed wood-frame 62x55 ft building with a red clay tile roof.</p><br>
<p>The Womans Club of Olympia was founded in Olympia, Washington, United States, in 1883. It is one of the oldest womans club on the West Coast. Founding members included Mehitable Elder, Pamela Case Hale, Mary Hartsock, Janet Moore, Phebe Moore, Mary Shelton, Ella Stork, Abbie Howard Hunt Stuart, and Sarah E. Whitney. Its first president, Mrs. A.H.H.  Stewart, a college graduate and a veteran of the Womens Club in Boston, was a "driving force" in the clubs organization and was known as the "Mother of Women&#39;s Clubs" for having founded other clubs, too.</p><br>
<p>Of note was the clubs early operation of Olympias only library facility from 1896–1909 and subsequent assistance obtaining a Carnegie Library grant for a public library.</p><br>
<p>the club is still active. It is a member of the General Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Woman&#39;s Club of Olympia was built in 1908. It replaced the original clubhouse purchased in 1900 that was destroyed by fire in 1907. It is also known as the Abigail Stuart House.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur B. Cohn House  is a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in downtown Houston. The house is now about a block away from its original location at 1711 Rusk Avenue to the 600 block of Avenidas de las Americas, adjacent to Minute Maid Park, and will shortly be moved to a former parking lot site at the corner of Commerce and Hamilton Streets. The Queen Anne house was built for Cohn in 1905 by local architect, Michael DeChaumes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Arthur B. Cohn House is named for Arthur Benjamin Cohn (1871–1938), who resided at this house from 1905. Cohn was the personal accountant of William Marsh Rice and was instrumental in the founding of the Rice University. In 1905, the Rice Board of Trustees hired Cohn for its full-time staff. The original lot at 1711 Rusk Avenue had been previously developed in the 1860s for the home of Winifred Browne. Oral history relate that three elements of the house predate 1905, suggesting either that the builders incorporated part of the old Browne house into the new construction or these elements were reconstructed from salvaged materials. The kitchen decking is dated circa 1870. Old residents of the neighborhood refer to the property as “the Browne house,” and claim that the front doors and one of the fireplaces was from this earlier structure. One author of the NRHP form dismisses this possibility, and asserts that only the kitchen floors predated 1905. Another part of the NRHP form asserts that the kitchen wing at the rear of the house incorporates part of the Browne house.</p><br>
<p>The original site of the Cohn House at 1711 Rusk placed the property on Block 120, Lot 12 of the J. S. Holman Survey, originally bounded by Jackson, Capitol, Chenevert, and Rusk streets. Much of this lot was used by the city of Houston for Avenida de las Americas as part of the planning for the George R. Brown Convention Center. This area was the subject of an extensive archaeological survey in 2003. Block 120 in the Holman Survey was laid out identically to the blocks in the original survey of Houston. The dimensions were 250 feet square, divided into twelve lots, ten of which were 50 feet wide and 100 feet deep. The other two were key lots, placed in the middle of the block with dimensions fifty feet in width and 125 feet in depth. Block 120 was incorporated into Houston in 1840, and it is within the Third Ward neighborhood.</p><br>

<p>The Ahnapee Brewery building is located in Algoma, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building served as a brewery until 1890. It went on to be used as a warehouse, a fly net factory, a washing machine factory, and a feed storage facility. Currently, it serves as a winery. The building was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, Ahnapee Brewery was re-imagined & reopened in a two-stall-garage-turned-taproom, two doors down from the original 1800s brewery location on Navarino St. In 2022, the taproom moved from Navarino St. to the corner of Clark St. & 2nd Street in Algoma. In 2020, Ahnapee Brewery opened a second location in Suamico, WI, which houses all of the brewery&#39;s production and another taproom.</p><br>
<p>The Christian-Ellis House is a single-family home in Owosso, Michigan, built in 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1885, Daniel M. Christian opened a large dry-goods business in Owosso, the first real store in the town. By the turn of the century, Christians store had evolved into the first real department store in town. In about 1895, Christian constructed this house for his family. He lived here until moving into the Goodhue-Christian House (located in the Oliver Street Historic District). After Christian moved, the house was purchased by J. Edwin Ellis, president of the Independent Stove Company. Ellis had relocated Independent Stove from Detroit in 1908, and continued to live in Detroit, coming to Owosso only for business. However, around 1910, Ellis permanently moved to Owosso. He became actively involved in the citys social life, and served multiple terms as the city&#39;s Mayor between 1941 and 1947.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Christian-Ellis House is a transitional design, containing both Queen Anne and Georgian Revival elements. It is a wood-frame house clad in clapboard, with fish-scale shingling in the gable ends. Queen Anne elements of the design include an asymmetrical floorplan, windows of different styles, a broad wrap-around porch, and an irregular roofline with two gable ends located above the front facade. Georgian Revival features include Doric columns on the porch, paired rounded arch windows on the second story level, and small brackets at the corniceline.</p><br>
<p>The Elias Comstock Cabin is a single-family home located at the corner of Curwood Castle Drive and John Street in Owosso, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is the oldest residence still extant in the City of Owosso.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Elias Comstock was born in New London, Connecticut in 1799. In 1824, he moved with his parents to Pontiac, Michigan. In 1827, Comstock married Lucy Lamson. Elias worked as a school teacher at the Detroit Academy in Detroit, then moved onto teach at a rural school in Pontiac before briefly becoming a merchant in Stony Creek, Michigan. The Comstocks moved to the newly established community of Owosso in 1835. There, in 1836 he constructed a home, becoming the citys first real settler. Comstock opened a successful mercantile business, and in 1837 Governor Lewis Cass appointed him the countys Justice of the Peace. He served as the Township&#39;s Supervisor between 1838 and 1840, and later served as Judge of Probate, County Judge, and Associate Judge of the Circuit Court.</p><br>
<p>The Comstocks continued to live in their cabin, but over the years, they added a series of frame additions to the house, as well as a long front porch. Eventually the cabin became the living room of the home, and was entirely covered by a frame exterior. Elias Comstock died in 1886, and Lucy Comstock died in 1890. The Comstock house passed on to the Leitch family, then the Corey family.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, the Standard Oil Company purchased the Comstock property and began demolition of the house. They discovered the original log cabin, mostly intact, hidden within the frame house. The Shiawassee County chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution led efforts to preserve the cabin, and moved it to the rear of the lot and preserved as a museum. The cabin was later moved to Bentley Park, and in 1969 was moved again to its current site. The cabin remains a museum and is open for select events</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Comstock cabin is a one-room log cabin, measuring twenty by thirty feet. It has hand-finished door and window frames and a puncheon floor. The structure has been carefully restored by the city.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Frieseke Birthplace and Boyhood Home is a single-family home in Owosso, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Herman Frieseke and his brother Julius worked in the Owosso brickyards of Charles Shattuck and in the late 1860s purchased the operation. Their yard was a success, and in 1870 Herman could afford to construct a family home. In 1874, his son Frederick Frieseke was born in this house. Frederick showed an aptitude for art at a young age, and his parents sent him to the Art Institute of Chicago after finishing elementary school. He later moved to Paris, studied under Whistler, and was awarded the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, the highest honor bestowed upon artists by the French state. Frieseke died in 1939 in Paris.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<p>The Amos Gould House is a single-family home located at 115 West King Street in Owosso, Michigan. It is the original home of prominent Owosso citizen Amos Gould. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Amos Gould settled in Owosso in 1843. In approximately 1848 he constructed this house on Washington Street in the fashionable Oliver Street Historic District. In 1860 he constructed a second, larger house next door (now 515 N. Washington), relegating the original house to a kitchen and servants quarters. In 1873, Gould completely remodeled the 1860 house by covering it with brick. The servants quarters building was left substantially the same, but may have had the eave bracketry added at the time.</p><br>
<p>After the number of servants had decreased, the Gould family sold the servants&#39; quarters. The building was then moved from its original location on Washington to this location on King St.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Amos Gould House is a balloon-framed structure covered with clapboard. It has symmetrical window placement and a hipped roof with a simple roofline, supported with elaborately carved brackets. These were likely added during the 1873 remodeling.</p><br>
<p>The Turney House is a historic house in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a designated Pittsburgh historic landmark. It was built circa 1851 by Lucian B. Turney, a carpenter who also served on the Lawrenceville Borough Council during the 1850s. It was also the residence of Turneys daughter Margaret, who at age 17 was one of 78 workers killed in the 1862 Allegheny Arsenal Explosion, the deadliest civilian disaster during the USA Civil War. After the demolition of 184 38th Street in 2011, the Turney House is the only surviving house known to be associated with a victim of the explosion. Another one of Turneys children, Olive, became a successful artist. In 1996, the house was purchased by architectural historian Carol Peterson, who restored it to a period-appropriate appearance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built by Lucian B. Turney, a 19th-century carpenter and a member of the Lawrenceville Borough Council and Lawrenceville School Board (1856), the Turney House was erected in Pennsylvania sometime around 1851. Eleven years later, Turney and his home became linked historically with the deadliest civilian disaster of the American Civil War when his 17-year-old daughter, Margaret A. Turney, was listed in multiple newspapers as one of 78 workers who had been killed when a series of explosions destroyed the laboratory at the Allegheny Arsenal on September 26. The Catholic noted that she had been found among the 24 women and girls killed in "Room No. 4," which was destroyed during the second explosion and was one of the rooms where employees processed rifle cartridges for shipment.</p><br>
<p>The Turney House subsequently became the only surviving house known to be associated with a victim of the arsenal explosion when the McBride Log House in Lawrenceville was demolished in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is a small, two-story frame building with a front-gabled slate roof, clapboard siding, and modest Greek Revival style wooden trim. It stands on a corner lot at the relatively busy intersection of 43rd Street and Foster Street. The front elevation has a single bay with a centered door and window, while the rear elevation has three bays with one large window on the second floor and one large window, one small window, and a door on the first floor. The Foster Street elevation has one window on each floor near the front, and the opposite (southeast) elevation has two large windows on each floor as well as one small window on the second floor and a side door on the first floor. Most of the window openings are fitted with 6-over-6 sash windows. The property also contains the only known outhouse remaining in Lawrenceville.</p><br>
