<p>It is significant as a "little-modified, traditional Hispanic barn, constructed about 1875. The extensive use of hewn logs, even for the loft cross beams and attic walls, suggests that</p><br>
<p>they are reused from Fort Lowell which stood nearby. A tree ring sample has been taken and the building may well prove pivotal in the chronology of local log construction and in the introduction of the attic wall."</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The barn does not have a foundation. The walls are constructed from hewn logs that are assembled using a double box notch technique. The roof has gable ends and is covered with corrugated metal. The barn is primarily made of hewn logs, including the attic walls and the loft cross beams.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as one of few New Mexico vernacular adobe buildings surviving in downtown Gallup, and for its association with businessman C.N. Cotton, who built up the Navajo weaving industry. Cotton arrived in Gallup in the 1880s and worked as a telegraph operator.

<p>The Saginaw County Fairgrounds Main Gate is the entry gate to the former Saginaw County Fairgrounds, located at 2701 East Genesee Avenue in Saginaw, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Saginaw County Fair was first held in 1866, and was held yearly until the mid-1890s, when the practice lapsed. A new Saginaw County Agricultural Society was formed in 1914, and they held a fair at what was then the Saginaw Driving Club grounds. In 1917, the Society purchased the Driving Club property and began making improvements. By 1919, several buildings had been constructed on the property. In the 1920s, three new gates to the fairgrounds were constructed. This included the main gate, designed by Saginaw architects Cowles & Mutscheller in 1929. The gate was intended to be the main point of entry for both pedestrians and automobiles, and had small offices for ticket-takers.</p><br>
<p>The gate served as the main entry to the fairgrounds until 2001, after which the Saginaw County Fair moved to a new fairgrounds outside of in Chesaning, Michigan. The old fairgrounds property was purchased by the Saginaw Housing Commission in 2002, and most of the fairground buildings were demolished in 2009. The main gate was left standing, with the intention of creating a small memorial park.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<p>window impost blocks. A green clay Spanish tile hip roof tops the structure, supported by paired and single brackets.</p><br>
<p>The Saginaw News Building is an office building located at 203 South Washington Avenue in Saginaw, Michigan, formerly the headquarters of The Saginaw News. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1859, The East Saginaw Courier began publication, and in 1881 it was joined by the Saginaw Evening News. In 1910, a group of investors led by George Gough Booth and his brother Ralph purchased the News, and in 1918 added the Courier (by then the Courier-Herald). The Booths consolidated the two papers into the Saginaw News Courier, which was renamed the Saginaw Daily News in 1927 and The Saginaw News in 1936. The paper operated out of a building located at the comer of Federal Avenue and South Washington Avenue. By the late 1950s, The Saginaw News had outgrown this building, and they hired Saginaw architects Frantz & Spence to design a new structure, located next door to their previous quarters. Ground was broken in 1958, and the new building was completed in 1960, after which the old headquarters was demolished.</p><br>
<p>The building served as the headquarters for The Saginaw News for fifty years. In 2009, the newspaper reduced its daily publishing schedule to a three issues a week, and the printing was outsourced to another Booth-owned publishing company. No longer needing the space, in 2010 the News moved operations</p><br>
<p>out of the 203 South Washington Avenue facility. The building was sold to an LLC in 2012, and resold to SVRC Industries at the end of 2014. In 2016, SVRC began renovations to turn the building into a farm market. The market opened in 2018.</p><br>

<p>The Bullard Hotel, at 105 S. Bullard St. in Silver City, New Mexico, was built in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It was built by contractor Hugh S. Gilbert.</p><br>
<p>It is Early Commercial architecture in style.</p><br>
<p>Building History</p><br>
<p>Built after the completion of a new railroad depot a block south of it in 1915, the Bullard Hotel opened for business in March, 1916. It was touted as Silver Citys most modern hotel, with steam heat and hot and cold running water in every room. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Ward, owners, were from Illinois and already ran a successful grocery business in Silver City. Mrs. Ward took over management of the hotel, which continued to function as such for the next fifty years. The contract for the Wards hotel went to Hugh S. Gilbert. From the time Gilbert came to Silver City in 1905 until his death in 1957, he was a contractor in Silver City. He built and remodelled private homes and public buildings. Later in 1916 Gilbert built Fleming Hall, still standing on Western New Mexico University campus, from plans by Henry Trost, an architect based in El Paso. It is possible to infer Trost&#39;s influence on the unique entryway that Gilbert constructed in the Bullard Hotel, but no conclusive evidence is known. Recent research indicates that a narrow, two-story brick structure with a single-story rear wing, known as the Palace Hotel when it was constructed in 1883, was incorporated into the Bullard Hotel. The brick in this portion of the building is markedly different from the brick used in 1916. The two second-story windows in the rear have been altered, but retain their segmental arch tops and plain wood surrounds. A frame addition was added to the one-story portion sometime later.</p><br>
<p>The Bullard Hotel played an important role in the economy of Silver City, especially in the first few years after it was built and before the economy began to slacken in Silver City during World War I. In its setting, it is still an imposing representative of the early twentieth century history of Silver City.</p><br>
<p>The Bullard Hotel is significant because it is one of the remaining representatives of the last economic boom in Silver City through World War I. And, it is the only remaining hotel of this last economic boom. The</p><br>
<p>transportation and lodging industries hummed with people seeking silver, health and education. In line with the hopes of the time, the Bullard Hotel was built on a grand scale, with two stories and some thirty rooms for lodging. Changes in the architectural landscape were taking place all over town: shopowners and homeowners desired to modernize. Silver City was modernizing also for the use of automobiles by paving streets and installing a storm sewer. The Bullard Hotel was built at a time when town developers hoped for continuation of growth, while new trends were about to change life in Silver City forever.</p><br>
<p>Historic Context:</p><br>
<p>In the 1870s southwestern New Mexico was an undeveloped territory inhabited by a few miners, a few soldiers and some very determined Apaches. The Apaches had prevented any permanent settlement, although enterprising individuals had been moving through the area for years. Copper was mined at Santa Rita as early as 1802; the Gila River was trapped for beaver in the 1820s; and in 1860 gold was discovered at present-day Pinos Altos. Pinos Altos did not become permanent until 1866, when the Ft. Bayard military post was established. Another mineral discovery about fifty miles to the southwest of Pinos Altos, at Ralston, was the key to the discovery of silver at San Vicente Cienega, which was the early name for present Silver City.</p><br>
<p>Sheepherders and woodcutters had probably used the site as a summer camp since the early 1800s; with the rush to Pinos Altos farmers and herders had economic incentive to stay. John Bullard, a member of a group of Americans that had established a farm at Silver City, is said to be person who recognized outcroppings near the camp at Silver City from silver ore he had seen at Ralston. When Silver City was founded in 1870, hopeful silver miners were flocking to the "Silver Flat Mining District." Those who had already started mining the native silver ore were living in log cabins and adobe huts. Very quickly it was discovered that native clay in the area was suitable for the manufacture of brick, and builders jumped at the chance to use this</p><br>
<p>material.</p><br>
<p>While off to a promising start, Silver City had to find the solutions to some important problems before it could blossom into a more established town. One of these problems was technological: the reduction of silver ore. Although successfully reduced in adobe furnaces in 1870, the ore required newer milling and reduction machinery for an improved recovery rate to nudge the town to greater prosperity. The other problem was cultural, and required coming to terms with the Apaches. Silver City was deep in Apache territory By the time the last Apache leader, Geronimo, surrendered in 1886, Silver City had become a substantial town. In 1880 a town ordinance was passed prohibiting the construction of frame buildings in the city limits. Construction henceforth would discourage fire and add the solidity of brick and adobe to the city landscape. In 1883 a branch line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad reached Silver City and a new era in building began. New and desirable building materials now reached Silver City by rail. Coinciding with the economic prosperity of the time, buildings on a grander scale went up, most notable large hotels. Large numbers of people visited Silver City for sessions of district court, held twice a year. As a commercial and judicial center for southwestern New Mexico, Silver City had always accommodated out-of-town miners and ranchers. Now the railroad increased the number of travellers still more. Silver Citys development based on the local mineral resources suffered in the late 1880s and during the 90s from recessions and the devaluation of silver. The town looked to education and medicine for growth. A large brick building to house the New Mexico Normal School, forerunner of today&#39;s Western New Mexico University, was built in 1896. (This building was destroyed in the 1950s.) Numbers of tubercular patients came to Silver City in the early 1900s, increasing the amount of travellers needing temporary quarters while visiting OP searching for long-term lodging.</p><br>
<p>The high altitude and dry climate proved curative. St. Joseph&#39;s Sanatorium, 1902, was a large brick affair, as were many homes built by healthseekers who came and stayed. In fact, healthseekers doubled the population between 1900 and 1907. This "industry" continued at a lively pace until after World War I.</p><br>
<p>The Bullard Hotel stands today at the south end of Bullard Street, near a warehouse section which sprang up around the old railroad depot. The depot was located at the south end of Bullard Street in 1883, but was moved to the north end of town two years later. When the train depot was moved back to its original site in 1900, merchants needing nearby storage space began constructing warehouses. Although the train depot was torn down in 1975, a few warehouses remain in this part of town. The turn of the century saw another alteration in the downtown area, one which actually commenced in 1895. That was the year the first heavy flooding rolled down Main Street, (San Vicente Arroyo) carrying off pieces of the Broadway Hotel. In 1899 another hotel, the Tremont House, was destroyed by flooding. Flash floods returned yet again in 1902, and every year for the next four years, destroying many of Silver City&#39;s oldest business buildings. Another hotel, the Timmer House, fell to the onslaught in 1904. Downtown Silver City was changed forever by the loss of Main Street and three of its old hotels. Two hotels from the late 1800s, the Palace and the Southern, remained standing after the demise of the Timmer House. The Palace was incorporated into the Bullard Hotel in 1916, and the Southern was torn down in the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The Bullard Hotel was built in 1916, when optimism was high. Silver City anticipated continuing growth from the influx of healthseekers and new developments in the mining industry. A new railroad depot was constructed and the town paved streets and installed a storm sewer The modernization of buildings meant small, multiple-lite windows were replaced by plate glass in store fronts and simple adobe homes received new gable and hipped roofs. Even old mansions were remodelled in favor of new styles. No one could know that the aftermath of World War I would bring a cure for tuberculosis, or that the automobile in Silver City would eventually replace the train.</p><br>

<p>It is believed to have been built between 1893 (when farmer and rancher William Redding first paid taxes on the property) and 1902 (when reports about a great flood noted about the Redding ranch). It is significant as a "very good example of the single file plan of the New Mexico Vernacular</p><br>
<p>type".</p><br>
<p>The house includes an unstuccoed adobe room on its north side used as a garage, believed to be part of the original house. The listing includes the house and a turn-of-the-19th-century era ornamental wire, pipe and cast-iron fence in front.</p><br>

<p>The Bradley House is a restored single-family home, now used as a museum, located at 3200 Cook Road in Midland, Michigan, on the grounds of the Midland County Historical Society Heritage Park . The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Bradley House was affected by the Edenville and Sanford dam failures in May of 2020. The basement was completely flooded with about one inch of water on the first floor. The building itself is closed until repairs can be made.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1866, Benjamin F. Bradley moved from New York to Midland and opened a grocery store and separate dry goods store. Both stores were prosperous, establishing Bradley as one of the leading citizens of Midland. He also served as Postmaster of the town, and at various times as alderman, village council president, member of the local Board of Education, and ward supervisor. Bradley was also able to run other businesses, including a publishing company and an insurance company.</p><br>
<p>In 1874, Bradley built this house near downtown Midland at Number 1 Larkin Street. In 1921, Bradley lost the house in bankruptcy, and it was purchased by the next-door St. Bridgid&#39;s Roman Catholic Church. The church used it as a rectory until 1969, when it was slated for demolition. Local preservationists formed the Bradley House Society, which purchased the house and moved it to its present location. The group rehabilitated the house and opened it to the public in 1972. The Bradley House Society merged with the Midland County Historical Society in 1976, and installed a historical park surrounding the house. The house remains open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Bradley House is a two-story frame Victorian structure with a steeply pitched gable roof. The main section measures 40 feet by 40 feet; an addition now containing a kitchen and dining room is attached to the rear. A second addition, originally containing a kitchen, was removed when the house was moved to its present location. The house is covered with pine weatherboarding. The roof, originally covered with wood shingles, is now covered with asphalt shingles.</p><br>
<p>The house contains 14 rooms, seven on the first floor and seven on the second. Floors throughout are oak. A brick fireplace in the front room is covered with green tile and has an oak mantel.</p><br>
<p>The James Bean Decker House, at 189 N. 300 East , in Bluff, Utah, was built in 1898. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a large, two-story brick house whose exterior was originally brick, but was stuccoed in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1895 for James Bean Decker (1853-1900) and his wife Anna Marie Mickelson Decker (b.1855). Both born in Utah, the Mormon couple was married in 1874. Decker was "called to settle the San Juan Region" and was part of the exploring expedition which came to the San Juan River in the summer of 1879, via northern Arizona. He was one of the original settlers who came across the Hole-in-the-Rock Trail from Escalante to Bluff in 1879–1880. He operated large cattle and sheep ranches, and became the county&#39;s first sheriff. He was also the first superintendent of the Bluff Sunday School. He died in the 1900 diphtheria epidemic in Bluff.</p><br>
<p>Decker appears in the historical novel The Undaunted, by Gerald Lund, which is based on history, including diaries, of the Hole-in-the-Rock expedition.</p><br>

<p>La Lomita Chapel is a historic Catholic chapel in Mission, Texas. It was once an important site for the Cavalry of Christ, a group of priests who traveled long distances on horseback to minister to Catholics living on isolated ranches along the Rio Grande.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, the chapel became the subject of a dispute between the United States government and the Catholic Church due to the Trump administrations proposal to seize the chapels land for the border wall between the USA and Mexico. In 2019, the proposed seizure was blocked by a budget provision enacted by Congress.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and site</h2><br>
<p>The chapel is made of white adobe. Its land is adjacent to the Rio Grande.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site was first named La Lomita ("the hillock") by a rancher, José Antonio Cantu, who was granted the land by Spain in 1770. In 1851, a French merchant named René Guyard purchased the land. A devout Catholic, Guyard built the chapel in 1865, and in 1871 bequeathed it to the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Located between the Brownsville and Roma missions, La Lomita became an important stop for the Cavalry of Christ; it served some 65 area ranches, and traveling missionaries often stopped there to rest.</p><br>
<p>The area developed into a village as the Oblate Fathers constructed a rectory, a guest house, a blacksmith shop, a buggy shed, and quarters for the lay brothers and laborers in what is now La Lomita Historic District. Following a flood in 1899, the chapel was rebuilt with stones from the surrounding hillside. When the city of Mission, Texas, was founded in 1908, it was named in honor of La Lomita. The chapel was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1964, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In 2010, a team of consultants was hired to restore the building; the project won a TSA Design Award and was featured in Texas Architect magazine.</p><br>
<p>Professor Terry G. Jordan-Bychkov has suggested that La Lomita chapel, along with several other small, parapet-gabled buildings in the region, were designed by the noted French-American priest and architect Pierre Yves Kéralum: "Father Keralum had the expertise, background, and mobility to achieve a substantial implantation of the Atlantic European roof type. Moreover, some related features such as gable-end shed rooms and table or bed outshots are also known in Breton folk architecture." Today, according to a local guidebook, La Lomita stands "&mdash;small and humble, cared for and preserved&mdash;marking the important role it played in the history of the area."</p><br>
<h3>Border wall dispute</h3><br>
<p>In October 2018, the United States Border Patrol filed a federal lawsuit to seize the land surrounding the chapel and begin surveying for a border fence. The pastor, Roy Snipes, and his bishop, Daniel E. Flores, oppose the project, and the Brownsville diocese has tried to put a stop to it in court.</p><br>
<p>Locals held several demonstrations in support of La Lomita. On Palm Sunday, April 14, 2019, over a thousand parishioners held a procession from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church to the chapel. After the procession, Pastor Roy Snipes was nominated for an award by Catholic Extension, a national fundraising organization that supports poor mission dioceses across the country. After Snipes opposed the wall, he became the target of a right-wing smear campaign. The "We Build the Wall" group (a privately funded effort, led by Steve Bannon, Brian Kolfage, and Kris Kobach) to build a portion of Trump&#39;s border wall) vilified both Snipes and the National Butterfly Center (another border site in south Texas that opposed wall construction on its land).</p><br>
<p>At a hearing in McAllen, Texas, on February 6, 2019, USA District Judge Randy Crane said that the diocese must allow surveyors onto the grounds. If the government didn&#39;t reconsider its plan to seize the land, the diocese planned to assert its rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a federal law that prohibits the government from placing a "substantial burden" on the practice of religion. According to Mary McCord, a Georgetown University ICAP attorney representing the diocese, "a physical barrier that cuts off access to the chapel, and not only to Father Roy and his parish but those who seek to worship there, is clearly a substantial burden on the exercise of religious freedom."</p><br>
<p>In February 2019, Congress amended an existing appropriations bill, adding language that specifically prohibits new funding from being used to build border barriers at La Lomita and several other properties, including the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, the National Butterfly Center, and the area "within or east of" the Vista del Mar Ranch tract of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Soon afterwards, however, Trump declared a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States, and the White House Counsel claimed that the restrictions contained within the annual appropriations law did not apply, leaving the status of La Lomita and the other sites still in question. On May 24, 2019, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration&#39;s plan to divert funds not explicitly appropriated by Congress. However, on June 3, 2019, another federal judge denied a request by the USA House of Representatives to temporarily block spending on the wall.</p><br>
<p>Although the budget deal ultimately protected the chapel from wall construction, in May 2020, the USA Department of Homeland Security notified USA Representative Henry Cuellar (Democrat of Texas), the vice-chairman of the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, that DHS intended to deploy the Linear Ground Detection System, a "virtual wall" technology, in the Rio Grande Valley, although the department would still need to permission of the chapel to deploy any infrastructure on the property.</p><br>

<p>The Mimbres School, in Mimbres, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is located East of NM 61 and Forest Rt. 73.</p><br>
<p>According to its 1988 National Register nomination, "This is one of four unaltered historic buildings remaining in Mirabres.... Built in the</p><br>
<p>1890s, this along with the San Juan school, is one of the first two schools built in the valley and a good reminder of the early settlement of Grant County. It uses typical materials of the local New Mexico Vernacular—adobe and corrugated roofing—but adapted to a new purpose, and a scale just slightly larger than the</p><br>
<p>normal residence. It as a good, well-preserved example of the New Mexico Vernacular type."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as part of a 1988 study of historic resources in the Mimbres Valley of Grant County.</p><br>
<p>The Tom Eby Storage Building, near Dwyer, New Mexico, was built in 1888 or later. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is located about 50 ft west of State Road 61 and 200 ft north of Eby Ranch Rd. It is a rectangular stuccoed adobe building with a corrugated metal hipped roof with "gablets". Some original flat earthen roof sections remain. It has four single doors. Original windows were closed in.</p><br>
<p>According to its National Register nomination "This building began as a house for Simeon Eby who received the patent for his homestead in 1888. The building is a good example of New Mexico Vernacular construction in the valley and as such meets Criterion C. Its single file plan with a door to each room, adobe construction and hipped roof with gablets are all typical of this predominant historic type. The rooms are deeper than normal, however. After a new house was built nearby by Tom Eby, the building was used as a farm kitchen. In 1972, the windows were bricked in and the building devoted to storage."</p><br>
