<p>The Abel Brockway House is a single family home located at 1631 Brockway Street in Saginaw, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Home is claimed to be haunted</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Abel Brockway was born in 1818, and arrived in Saginaw in 1856. A shrewd businessman, he invested in a number of early ventures in Saginaw, including lumbering, railroads, banking, and other industries. In 1859, he purchased a plot of farmland (now bounded by Wells, Thurman, Gratiot, and Brockway Streets) from Benjamin Cushway. In 1864, he built a house, which is the center section of what now is known as the Brockway House. Brockway lived in the house until his death in 1886, after which it passed to his daughter Mary. Mary, however, had a wealthy husband and no need of the house or land, and so donated some of the land to the city and platted the rest, selling off lots.</p><br>
<p>Around 1920, Harker Jackson purchased the house and the surrounding land. Jackson designed and constructed the additions to the house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Abel Brockway House is a mix of an original two-story Greek Revival home with -story Colonial Revival wings and a front portico. The columns on the portico are from Dr. Florentines Hospital for Women, one of Saginaws earliest medical facilities. It is a symmetrical house with a gable roof and clapboard siding, and features a balanced window placement.</p><br>
<h2>Paranormal Interest</h2><br>
<p>The home is also the current interest in a local movie series that chronicles supposedly haunted buildings and areas throughout Saginaw County, Michigan. The 10th installment, Haunted Saginaw: A Haunting on Brockway Street by Steven T. Shippy and his production crew chronicles their multi-week investigation into the house and the paranormal activity that has been witnessed by the current owners and the filming crew.</p><br>
<p>The Pellicer-De Burgo House is located at 53 St. George Street in St. Augustine, Florida. It is a reconstruction of two connected houses built during the British Period  of East Florida.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to a Spanish map of 1763, there were two lots at the site of the Pellicer-De Burgo property. The north lot had belonged to Lucas Escovedo and the south lot had belonged to Prudencia Ansures but the two owners left St. Augustine as the British took over the colony after the 1763 Treaty of Paris. At the beginning of St. Augustines British Period, agent Jesse Fish was put in charge of selling the two lots. He sold them to Francisco Pellicer and José Peso de Burgo in 1780. Pellicers wife and two youngest children died shortly after he bought the lot.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, Francisco Pellicer was nominated to become part of the Great Floridians Program. Pellicer Creek, just south of St. Augustine, is named after Francisco Pellicer.</p><br>
<p>Minorcan Pellicer and Corsican Peso de Burgo had been members of Dr. Andrew Turnbulls New Smyrna colony that eventually ended up in St. Augustine. Pellicer was a master carpenter and had built Turnbulls plantation home. Allegedly Pellicer was one of the men who came to Governor Tonyn in 1777 charging Turnbull with mistreatment of fellow colonists. In 1784 Peso de Burgo was identified as a storekeeper and half owner of a sloop.</p><br>
<p>A 1788 map describes both houses as being wooden. Both houses were one room and shared a wall. There was also a small outbuilding on the lot. Pellicer built his own house and potentially Peso de Burgo&#39;s as well. Peso de Burgo moved out of his home before 1791 and rented it out to lodgers.</p><br>
<p>In 1787 Francisco Pellicer sold his home to Greek fisherman and sailor Demetrios Fundulakis and his wife Maria Bros. Peso de Burgo sold his house in 1791 to Juan Sánchez, the chief master caulker of the royal works, who also rented out the house for income. He sold it in 1792 to John Martin Struder, who in turn sold the house in the mid-1790s to a Minorcan farmer named Pedro Fusha.</p><br>
<p>At some point prior to 1831, when a map show the lots to be vacant, the two houses were demolished. One Peter Arnau owned both lots at that time.</p><br>
<h2>Reconstruction</h2><br>
<p>An archaeological excavation at the lots of the Pellicer-De Burgo House was conducted in 1973 funded by the Florida Bicentennial Commission to look for the original wooden foundations of the two houses. Senator Verle A. Pope donated towards the cost of reconstructing the buildings.</p><br>
<p>An article from 1974 tells us that the Pellicer-De Burgo lot was locally known as the Paffe property before the reconstruction project. The project was completed in March 1977, and was one of the last houses reconstructed for San Agustín Antiguo, St. Augustines living history museum. Ironically, though this project was called "restoration" it actually resulted in the demolition of the home and gallery of one of Americas famous artists, Earl Cunningham(1893-1977)--often called "Grandpa Moses" for his similarity to the well-known Grandma Moses. The Menello Museum in Orlando has the best-known collection of Cunningham&#39;s work.</p><br>
<p>The Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board reserved the structures to house an exhibit on the Minorcans that moved from New Smyrna to St. Augustine. On August 5, 1996, the Board had a grand opening of "The Minorcans of St. Augustine" where they served Minorcan dishes to guests. The project was financed in part with the Historical Museum Grants-in-Aid Program out of the Museum of Florida History, Bureau of Historical Museums, Florida Department of State. The exhibit, part of the what was then known as the Spanish Quarter, and is now the Colonial Quarter in downtown St. Augustine, was advertised in local newspapers. It displayed panels on the Minorcans that travelled to New Smyrna, their social conditions, and their later influence on St. Augustine trade, customs, language, and food.</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>Today 53 St. George Street is the Bull and Crown Publick House restaurant in downtown St. Augustine. It is one of the eateries within the Colonial Quarter. The house is owned by the State of Florida and managed on its behalf by University of Florida Historic St. Augustine, Inc.</p><br>
<p>The Kingston Springs Hotel and Buildings is a historic hotel complex in Kingston Springs, Tennessee. It was rebuilt in the 1890s, surrounded by original 1860 cottages. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main hotel building was erected in the 1890s by Matt F. Allen on the site of a former hotel built by Emanuel Kreider in 1849. The first hotel burned down in the late 1880s, but thirteen cottages dating back to 1860 survived the fire.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was the subject of a painting by Max Hochstetler.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was designed by architect Baxter J. Hodge. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 31, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Cadillac House is a hotel and restaurant located at 5502 Main Street in Lexington, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Lexington was founded in about 1835. By the 1850s, it was a bustling port town, and new and larger accommodations were needed. In 1859, construction was started on the Cadillac House; although the history is murky, the first owner was likely Jeremiah Jenks, a Lexington local. The hotel opened on July 4, 1860. The hotel continued to be popular throughout the 19th century, first with people connected to the lumber and shipping trade, and then as a resort location. As the beginning of the 20th century came, industry in Lexington was largely gone, and the town relied on the tourist trade. By 1910, the Cadillac House was a seasonal hotel, open only in the warmer months. By 1940, the hotel was owned by PJ Rice, who renamed it the "Rice-Cadillac Hotel."</p><br>
<p>However, by the late 1950s, the resort trade in Lexington was in decline, as the automobile changed people&#39;s vacation and travel habits. Renting rooms at the Cadillac was discontinued in 1954 as the owners concentrated on the bar and restaurant. This business remained popular, and the Cadillac House was remodeled in the 1970s. In 2001, the Cadillac House was sold to Martin and Julia O’Brien, who continued to operate it until they sold it in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Cadillac House is a three-story, wood-framed Italianate structure. A two-story wing extends to the rear, with an adjacent one-story addition. The building is covered with clapboard siding trimmed with wood, A projecting bracketed cornice supports the eaves. A one-story porch runs across the entire front elevation, supported by square columns. The porch shelters a center entry door flanked by sidelights, with a transom above. To either side of the center door are French-style doors with glass transoms above and windows to the side. The roof of the porch serves as a balcony at the second floor level; the balcony is accessed by three doors separated by windows. There are five windows on the third floor. The windows in the upper stories are six-over-six double-hung units. The flat roof is topped by four brick chimneys and a windowed cupola.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the first-floor houses a public restaurant and bar as well as the hotel lobby and a central stair. The upper floors contain a central corridor with hotel rooms on each side. There are twelve rooms on each floor.</p><br>
<p>The Berthold Spitz House is a historic house in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is significant as the citys best example of Prairie School architecture. It was built around 1910 by Berthold Spitz  and his wife Fannie Schutz Spitz . Berthold was a German Jewish merchant who was born in Bohemia  and immigrated to Albuquerque around 1880. He ran a successful dry goods business and made a few forays into local politics before being appointed as the citys postmaster in 1921. Fannie grew up in El Paso and was notable as the inventor of the first commercial pine nut shelling machine. She was described by the Albuquerque Journal as "the greatest known authority on the piñon nut and its possibilities". The house was designed by Henry C. Trost of the El Paso firm of Trost & Trost. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The house is a two-story masonry building with a broadly overhanging hipped roof. The design is relatively simple and lacks the heavy ornamentation of some of Trost&#39;s other Prairie houses, including his own residence in El Paso. The Spitz House has stuccoed walls with dark wooden trim around the casement windows and a projecting sill course on the second floor. The front elevation is symmetrical, with a hipped entrance porch, while the rear has an asymmetrical two-story projection and less regular window patterns.</p><br>
<p>The A&P Superintendents House is a historic house in the Barelas neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1881 for Frank W. Smith, who used it as his base of operations while supervising construction of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad from Albuquerque to Needles, California. It is built from red sandstone, believed to have been quarried near Laguna Pueblo, which was the same material used to build the A&Ps maintenance facilities on the opposite side of Second Street. Those buildings were replaced by the Santa Fe Railway Shops beginning in 1912, leaving the Superintendents House as the citys only surviving building associated with the A&P. The house was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Superintendents House is a one-and-a-half-story building with an intersecting gable roof and an open porch which wraps around the north and east sides. The walls are 18 in thick and are constructed from sandstone blocks set in broken courses. The windows and door openings have stone lintels and sills with wood trim, and the porch features finely carved wooden pillars, cornices, and corbels ornamented with stars and arabesques. The north section of the house is side-gabled, with two dormers, and contains the living and dining rooms. The front-gabled south section contains two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen wing at the rear. The upper floor was originally constructed as servants quarters but was later converted to a separate apartment.</p><br>
<p>The Davis Carriage House is a single family home  located at 519 N. Fayette in Saginaw, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles H. Davis was born in Massachusetts, and as a young man, moved the Saginaw in 1869. There, he took a job as a stockyard worker in one of timber magnate Ammi W. Wrights mills. Wright noticed Davis, and soon promoted him to bookkeeper and then mill manager. Eventually, Davis bought into the form, changing its name to the Wright and Davis Sawmill. From there, Davis expanded his business interests into banking, railroading, and other lumber activities throughout Michigan and Minnesota. In 1887, Davis built a mansion on Michigan Avenue, which included a carriage house that was at the time located behind the main house, which provided space for vehicles as well as a servants quarters.</p><br>
<p>Davis&#39;s mansion was eventually demolished to construct what is now the Covenant Healthcare Hospital, but the carriage house remained. In 1934, Saginaw architects James A. Spence, Sr. and Robert B. Franz redesigned the interior to convert it into a single family home, without changing the exterior.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Davis Carriage House is a Queen Anne structure, and contains Queen Anne design elements such as corbeled brick ornamentation, gables, dormers, and bay windows. The design is reminiscent of an English country cottage, exemplified by windows leaded with diamond shaped panes, a red roman tile roof, a white-washed stone fence with a black iron grid. It is complemented by surrounding landscaping containing ivy, trees, and bushes.</p><br>
<p>The Central Warehouse is a warehouse located at 1800 North Michigan in Saginaw, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Central Warehouse Company was organized in 1910 by William Carr, a local feed and grain dealer, and ten other businessmen from within the community. The company hired local architect Frederick Beckbissinger to design a storage building. Several local firms were hired to provide materials for and construct the building, including Spence Brothers, who did the general contracting. Central Warehouse opened in 1913, with its first customers primarily firms related to the production and distribution of farm equipment. Two of the largest Central Warehouse customers were John Deere and International Harvester. International Harvester used the warehouse until the mid-1920s, while John Deere used it until the 1940s. The building continues to be used as a warehouse.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Central Warehouse is a simple functional Chicago-style warehouse, constructed of brick with limestone string courses above the first and fourth floor levels. It has a dentilated limestone band course at its cornice and a stepped pediment at the roofline.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Cushway House is a single family home located near the corner of Rust Avenue and Fordney Street in Saginaw, Michigan. Built in 1844, it is the oldest surviving residence in Saginaw County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Benjamin Cushway, then still a boy, moved to Saginaw in 1810 with his family. He worked first on a farm and later trained as a blacksmith. In 1833, Benjamin married his wife, Adelaide. The site was located within the remains of the abandoned Fort Saginaw. In 1848, the Cushways moved onto a farm, and in 1850 sold the house to Jacob Voght, a grocer and farmer. In 1869, Fort Saginaw was razed, and the Cuchway House was moved to 1404 South Fayette. After the turn of the century, the house was purchased by the Narcarto Family, who owned it at least until the 1980s. It was moved again to its current location in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Cushway House is built of hand-axed timbers. It is a Greek Revival structure with return eaves and a moderately pitched gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The Salvador Armijo House is a historic hacienda in the Old Town neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was originally built in the 1840s by Salvador Armijo , a prosperous merchant who was the nephew of Governor Manuel Armijo. The house remained in the Armijo family for five generations and was remodeled or expanded several times, most notably in the 1870s and the early 1900s. Armijos great-granddaughter Soledad C. Chacón, the future New Mexico Secretary of State, was a resident there in the early 1900s. During the mid-20th century, much of the building was converted into apartments. In 1977, Armijos great-great-granddaughter Frances Wilson sold the house and it was turned into a restaurant, named Maria Theresa after the well-known silver coin. The restaurant closed in 2004. In 2009, the building was purchased by the adjoining Hotel Albuquerque and turned into a party and reception venue. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The architecture of the house reflects various alterations made by its inhabitants in order to keep up with changing tastes and fashions. As originally constructed, the house consisted of 12 rooms arranged around a central courtyard, occupying a footprint of 100 by 70 feet (30 by 21 m). The walls are 32 in thick and mostly constructed from adobe, though stone was used in some sections. The original house had very few windows and was entered via zaguanes or covered passageways. The 1875 remodeling enclosed the zaguanes to form hallways and added new portales (porticoes) and windows with Territorial style wooden trim. In the early 1900s, most of the west side of the house was demolished and a new addition was built on the south side. New portales, pitched roofs with ornamented pediments, and a cast stone veneer (now removed) were also added to the exterior.</p><br>
<p>The East Genesee Historic Business District is a commercial historic district located along a section of East Genesee Avenue in Saginaw, Michigan bounded by Federal, Weadock, 2nd and Janes Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This section of East Genesee Avenue developed slowly between the 1870s and early 1900s. It was home to a succession of small businesses. Turnover was high, as these small operations either went out of business, or moved on to larger accommodations in the citys central business district. Early in the districts history, it was home to a concentration of German-owned businesses. After the turn of the century and into the 1930s, the area became more diverse. However, by the 1980s, many of the buildings were vacant, or substantially underutilized. By the 2010s, many had been demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The East Genesee Historic Business District covers two blocks of Genesee Avenue. It originally had 23 structures; many have subsequently been demolished. The buildings dated primarily from the 1880s, 1890s and early 1900s. The buildings are Victorian in character, with elements of Italianate, Queen Anne, and Romanesque Revival architecture. The buildings are two- and three-story brick commercial structures, with tall rectangular windows framed with stone. Many buildings have contrasting stone ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>The East Saginaw Historic Business District is a primarily commercial historic district located in Saginaw, Michigan and roughly bounded by Federal, North Water, North Washington and North Franklin Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first structure built in what now is the East Saginaw Historic Business District was a fur trading cabin, located at the intersection of Washington and Genesee Avenues. This was replaced by the Kirby House Hotel in 1854, and the four-story Bancroft Hotel in 1858. The hotel served as an anchor for the developing community, and by the 1880s it was surrounded by multiple blocks of commercial and industrial buildings. As the turn of the century approached, the lumbering business that had once supported Saginaw declined, and so did the city&#39;s economy, However, by the early 1900s the city had rebounded. Leading the recovery was a group of local businessmen who in 1915 razed the aging Bancroft Hotel and reconstructed a new building, which again served as an anchor for the businesses in the surrounding neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1960s, the district was entering a period of stagnation, where the structures were underutilized. However, by the 1980s, there was renewed interest in the area, and many buildings began to be redeveloped.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The East Saginaw Historic Business District contains 16 structures. Half of these were built in the 1870-1890 period, while nearly all the remainder were constructed in the early 20th century, between 1910 and 1930. The buildings include a Reagan of styles popular during those periods, including Italianate, Queen Anne, Chateauesque, Second Renaissance Revival, Chicago School, and Art Deco. The most prominent buildings in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Bancroft Hotel (1915) - 107 South Washington. This six-story, reinforced concrete and brick-sheathed hotel complex was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Schmidtt Gordent and Erikson. The original hotel contained 237 rooms, 14 suites, a restaurant and a roof garden. Additions were made to the building in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Eddy Building (1870) - 100 N. Washington. The stone-faced Eddy Building was constructed at four stories in height; twenty years later another two stories were added. It is a cool grey-colored High Victorian Italianate building with varied window treatments.</p><br>
<p>Saginaw Club (1889) - 219 N. Washington. The Saginaw Club was organized in 1889 by a group of East Saginaw&#39;s most prominent businessmen, and they constructed this three story clubhouse a short distance from their homes.</p><br>
<p>Temple Theatre (1927) - The 1,750-seat theatre originally served as a Shriners clubhouse. Both the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra and the Saginaw Choral Society perform out of the venue.</p><br>
<p>The Hausammann Brewhaus, formerly the Cottage Bakery is a historic building on Central Avenue  in Albuquerque, New Mexico.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1937 by a local bakery, the Cottage Pure Food Shoppe, and is significant as a relatively unaltered 1930s food-vending establishment, as well as for its use of roadside novelty architecture to attract customers. The front of the building was constructed in the form of a thatched cottage, which was intended to evoke "a bucolic purity that clients would associate with dairy and bakery products". It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>In May 2024, the Cottage Bakery was operating as the Hausammann Brewhaus.</p><br>
<p>The front section of the building is a one-story, side-gabled brick building with two eyebrow arches that give it the appearance of a thatched roof. It has two separate storefronts, each with multi-light corner windows and an arched doorway with brick trim. The eastern section of the building (2004 Central) originally housed the retail outlet of the Cottage bakery, while the Spot Ice Cream Company was located next door at 2000 Central. Behind the cottage is a larger, more utilitarian one-story cinder block section which housed the commercial baking plant.</p><br>
<p>The John Steele House is the historic home of a prominent early resident of Toquerville, Utah. One of the Mormon pioneers, John Steele built the house in 1862 and lived there until his death in 1903, working as an herbal physician and serving in a number of town and county offices. Its floor plan is a rare double-parlor style.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for its architectural and historical significance.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The one-story house stands on a foundation of stone, with red adobe walls and a wooden gable roof. Most Toquerville homes from this period were built of log rather than adobe.</p><br>
<p>It is one of only three well-documented examples of a double-parlor house in Utah: it is divided into two parlors and a narrower hall on the northern end. The Steele house has an extra door compared to most double-parlor houses (with one door and three windows), producing a symmetrical facade that gives the misleading appearance of a double-cell house (with two rooms of equal size). The center room, with a large fireplace, served as the kitchen.</p><br>
<p>An adobe lean-to was added in the 1860s–1870s on the left third of the rear, and further expanded with a frame lean-to on the right two-thirds in the 1930s. A full-width porch pictured in 1900 is now removed; it is unknown whether it was original. The exterior walls were probably stuccoed white in the early 20th century. With a "virtually unaltered" interior and the original doors and windows, however, the house "maintains a high degree of its original integrity."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Toquerville had only been founded three years ago when John Steele moved there from nearby Parowan in 1861, as part of southern Utah&#39;s settlement by the Mormons. His family came in 1862. Experienced with making and laying adobe brick, which he had done in Salt Lake City, Steele probably built the house himself that year.</p><br>
<p>He served as postmaster (1865), justice of the peace (1868–1869), and as surveyor (1873) and assessor (1874–1875) of Kane County. He also had a nearby boot and shoe shop, and went on several LDS Church missions. But "Doc" Steele derived much of his reputation from setting bones, administering herbal medicines and making horoscopes. Despite Utah introducing medical licensing, he continued to practice until his death in 1903.</p><br>
<p>The privately owned house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 7, 1988. The nomination cites its locally significant architecture and history: "There are approximately a dozen houses in the community that date from the first decade or two of settlement, but few of them are as old and as well preserved as the Steele House."</p><br>
<p>The John Howland Wood House is a historic mansion in Bayside, Texas. It was built in 1875, and it was a hotel for five decades. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located at 533 Copano Bay Dr in Bayside TX</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was built in 1875 by Viggo Kohler for John Howland Wood, his wife Nancy Clark, and their twelve children. Wood was a veteran of the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836 who fought in the Battle of San Jacinto. He also served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865. He subsequently owned ranches in Texas, and he died in 1904.</p><br>
<p>The house was a hotel from 1907 to the 1950s, and it was acquired by the Seltzer family in the 1970s. It has been the meeting place of the Bayside Historical Society since 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style, with an Italianate interior. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Pope County Courthouse is a government building in Golconda, the county seat of Pope County, Illinois, United States. The countys third courthouse, it has remained in operation since the early 1870s, making it one of Illinois oldest buildings currently still used as a courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Golconda was platted by senator Thomas Ferguson in 1816, and he reserved one of its lots for a future courthouse. Pope County was organized in the same year, and Fergusons town was chosen to become the county seat. After a period of using Fergusons house as a temporary courthouse, the county commissioners paid Robert Scott $66.66½ to construct a log courthouse measuring 24 x. This building lasted only a short while, as the county government contracted with James Hankins to build a new courthouse in 1831 on land donated by Daniel Field, who completed it in 1833 after Hankins repeatedly failed to meet construction deadlines.</p><br>
<p>Today&#39;s courthouse postdates the Civil War. By 1870, the 1833 courthouse was in poor condition, and a county judge outright refused to use the building for fear that it would collapse. Pope County officials paid the architects of Young and Frick to design a new courthouse in 1871, the construction firm of Yost and Layman did most of the work in the following year, and construction was finished in 1873. Its final cost was slightly higher than $20,000.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>Located in a small park on Main Street, it is one of Illinois&#39; oldest active courthouses. The building is two stories tall with a gable roof and brick walls, and a prominent belt course separates the two stories. Six windows are placed in three bays on the side, while the front of the building (narrower than the main body) is pierced by a single side window and three facade openings on each floor: a central door and two windows on the first floor, and three windows on the second. An oculus is set amid a pediment above the second story of the facade. Surrounding buildings on Main Street include commercial buildings, residences, and Presbyterian and Lutheran churches. A monument on the courthouse lawn honors Sarah Lusk Ferguson, a pioneer-era woman who operated a ferry on the Ohio River connecting Golconda with Kentucky after the death of her husband.</p><br>
<p>Much of central Golconda was named a historic district, the Golconda Historic District, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The Pope County Courthouse was named a contributing property to the district, and a later Forest Service survey of the region deemed it the district&#39;s focal point.</p><br>
<p>The Brown County Courthouse is a government building in Mount Sterling, the county seat of Brown County, Illinois, United States. Completed in 1868 and rebuilt around 1940, it is the second courthouse in the county&#39;s history.</p><br>
<h2>County seat</h2><br>
<p>Schuyler County was formed out of pieces of Pike and Fulton counties in 1825, but the new county was large enough that inhabitants of the southern part of the county found it inconvenient to reach the county seat of Rushville. Northern residents suggested moving the seat to Ripley, near the center of the county, but southerners petitioned for a separate county in 1838, and the General Assembly granted their request in early 1839 and named it for war hero Jacob Brown. The law designated Mount Sterling as the temporary county seat until a permanent seat should be chosen. Because that towns residents pledged more than $5,000 to construct public buildings (at a time when a county official might be paid $3 for a days work), and because the town was conveniently located, Brown County officials chose Mount Sterling as the new seat.</p><br>
<h2>Previous courthouses</h2><br>
<p>The seat&#39;s location now settled, bids for the construction of a courthouse were opened in September 1839. Designed by a Mr. Howland and built by contractor George Tebo, the courthouse was a two-story square brick building measuring 45 ft on each side. A courtroom and related spaces occupied the second floor, while county offices were located on the first floor. Indecision by the county government delayed the start of construction until the second half of 1841, while delays by Tebo caused construction to continue far into 1843. Despite taking more than two years to finish his work, Tebo was unable to erect a structure capable of long endurance: significant repairs were needed in 1859, and in 1864 a county-appointed committee determined that the building was so dangerous that even drastic steps — destroying and rebuilding one whole side of the building and parts of two others, building a new foundation, and replacing the roof — were unlikely to render it safe for occupancy.</p><br>
<h2>Current courthouse</h2><br>
<p>Nearly two years passed before any define steps were taken toward the erection of a new building. Preparations for choosing a design, renting rooms for temporary use, and selling the old courthouse were undertaken in 1866, and the new courthouse was first occupied in January 1868. but officials chose not to rebuild the cupola, and the courthouse was given a hip roof. In the post-fire courthouse, as in the short-lived first courthouse, county offices occupy the first floor and court facilities the second. The general plan resembles the letter "H" except for the portico with its fire-surviving Doric columns. Its overall appearance mixes elements of the Neoclassical and Italianate architectural styles.</p><br>

<p>The rebuilt 1868 courthouse has continued in use into the 21st century, and it remains a prominent building in the community. It lies at the end of the downtown area, separating commercial areas from residential neighborhoods. For these reasons, it lies at the northern end of the Mount Sterling Commercial Historic District, a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>

<p>The earliest settlers in Saginaw built homes along the southern portion of Michigan Avenue. It wasn&#39;t until the 1860s that development began on the northern portion of Michigan Avenue; however, this development quickly accelerated into the 1880s. The residential section along Michigan Avenue attracted sons and relatives of the wealthy families that had settled earlier on the southern part of the Avenue. Through the nineteenth century, large, stately mansions were constructed along this section of Michigan Avenue. After the turn of the century, some of the larger lots were split, and more modest bungalows were constructed, infilling between the larger homes. Many of the larger homes have been converted to commercial use.</p><br>

<p>The district contains 33 structures. of which 27 contribute to the historic character of the neighborhood.
