<p>The Matt and Emma Hill Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Pike Township, Minnesota, United States. It was established in 1897 by one of many Finnish Americans who left employment in Iron Range mines to begin farming northern Minnesotas cutover forests. The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage. It was nominated for reflecting the pivot of St. Louis Countys Finnish immigrants from industrial labor to agriculture, and their use of traditional log architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district consists of eight contributing properties. A house, hay barn, cattle barn, outbuilding, and the farms original smoke sauna date from 1897 to 1903. An improved sauna was built around 1920. All were designed and constructed in log by Matt Hill. Rounding out the inventory of historic properties are the farms well and agricultural fields.</p><br>
<p>The San Juan Teacherage is a teacherage near Sherman, New Mexico. It was built in 1923 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is located on State Road 61, about 50 ft to the west of it, about 1.7 mi north of Mimbres Hot Springs Canyon Rd.</p><br>
<p>It is a single file plan building built in 1923 on a raised foundation (likely made of concrete), with stuccoed walls and a corrugated metal hipped roof in Vernacular New Mexico style.</p><br>
<p>It was built by homesteader John Entzminger for schoolteachers at the San Juan school. Its construction was funded by the state, and it was built on land donated by Alfred Perrault, son of settler George Perrault. According to its National Register nomination, "Alfred was continuing a family tradition of supporting local education (see George Perrault House, #3, discussion) and this explains the location of the teachers residence here away from the school in San Juan."</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "a good, unmodified example of the New Mexico Vernacular type in the early twentieth century. The stuccoed walls of the building, its single file</p><br>
<p>plan and corrugated metal hipped roof, are similar to most New Mexico Vernacular residences in the valley, although the raised foundation is an Anglo-American element."</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 Hibbing Disposal Plant, later known as the North Wastewater Treatment Plant, was a sewage treatment plant in Hibbing, Minnesota, United States. It was built from 1938 to 1939 as a Public Works Administration  project during the Great Depression, and contained two of the world&#39;s largest self-supporting reinforced concrete domes. The plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 for its local significance in the themes of engineering, health/medicine, and social history. It was nominated for being an example of the modern sanitation facilities provided to many communities for the first time through the New Deal. It was also significant as one of the largest PWA projects in northern Minnesota, for its impact on sanitation in Hibbing, and for the engineering of its trickling filter domes.</p><br>
<p>The city of Hibbing phased out operations of the disposal plant in the early 21st century and by 2012 had secured a grant to raze the property. As of 2018 the only remaining buildings on site are non-historic additions from later in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office, located at 825 1st Avenue E., is the main post office serving Horton, Kansas. The Neoclassical building was built circa 1937-38 and designed by Supervising Architect Louis Simon. The inside of the post office includes two murals, both painted by Kenneth Evett for the Treasury Department&#39;s post office mural program; the additional mural is unusual for a small post office. The first mural, titled Picnic in Kansas, was completed in 1938 and depicts a large family at a picnic. The second mural, titled Changing of Horses for the Pony Express, was completed the following year and shows a Pony Express rider leaving a station.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Hooks-Moore Store, at the southwest corner of the junction of NM 61 and Forest Rt. 73 in Mimbres, New Mexico, was built before and during 1922. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1922.</p><br>
<p>It is a wood frame and clapboard building with corrugated metal gables. The listing included a second contributing building: an unstuccoed adobe outbuilding with a corrugated metal hipped roof, and with a shed-roofed board-and-batten addition.</p><br>
<p>In 1988 it was deemed significant as the only surviving historic wood-frame structure in the Mimbres Valley, and as one of few unaltered historic buildings in the village of Mimbres, and as "a good representative of the commercial importance of Mimbres in the upper Mimbres valley". Part of the building, the residential portion now at the back, was built before 1922 in a location across the road by Raul Spulveda. J.J. Hooks purchased that in 1922 and moved it to the current location, and further added the front parts, including a false-fronted section. In 1988, it had not further been altered. The false-fronted front portion served as the Mimbres post office. The left portion served as a store run by Hooks and later by Walter Moore.</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 George O. Perrault House, near Sherman, New Mexico, was built in the 1870s and 1880s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is located east of New Mexico State Road 61 about 1.7 mi north of Mimbres Hot Springs Canyon Rd.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a building with one-story unstuccoed adobe section and two-story stuccoed adobe section, plus a barn (c.1940) and adobe walls which form an approximately 60x70 ft courtyard. The two-story portion appears to be based on Anglo I-house design, while the rest is Spanish-Mexican in style.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant in 1988 as "one of the earliest remaining buildings from the settlement of the Mimbres valley and as a good reminder of the importance of agriculture in the valleys economy; it an outstanding example of the introduction of Anglo-American design elements into the Hispanic building tradition of the region." An original dugout survives under the wood floor of a large room, the galera, at the northeast corner of the compound. The room was used for social events including dances, and is believed to have been where school was taught by Elizabeth McGregor before construction of the valleys first school buildings in the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>It was built by French-Canadian George 0. Perrault, the one non-Hispanic among nineteen miners from Pinos Altos who established San Lorenzo, Grant County, New Mexico in 1869. He surveyed fields then allotted to individual settlers, and in 1870 established his homestead five miles downriver. He led in construction of several irrigation ditches and had a prosperous farm. He served as a school commissioner and on the Grant County Commission. His orchard was the largest in the valley, but suffered loss of 2,000 to 2,500 trees in the 1902 flood.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Register nominator, "This house constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, along with two or three others in the valley, represent the first report of the I-house type in the Southwest to the author&#39;s knowledge. Its fusion with a courtyard house is a particularly fascination mixing of Anglo and Hispanic types which deserves further study."</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>La Luz Pottery Factory is a former factory in La Luz, New Mexico. The buildings, including three houses, an adobe warehouse and kiln, a clay processing plant, and storerooms, were built circa 1929.

The complex has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 29, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Civil War Earthworks at Tallahatchie Crossing is a Civil War earthwork in Marshall County, Mississippi. The earthworks are located on federal land owned by the Army Corps of Engineers and consist of eight parapets used for Union cannons, as well as infantry trenches.</p><br>
<p>The earthwork was built along the north bank of the Little Tallahatchie River in late 1862 by Union forces to defend the Mississippi Central Railroad and their supplies in Holly Springs as they moved south towards Oxford and ultimately Vicksburg.</p><br>
<p>The Harry Vanderbilt Wurdemann House, also known as the Wurdemann House, is a private home in Lake Forest Park, Washington. Built in 1914 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, it was one of the first houses in Lake Forest Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wurdemann House is a two-story, four-bedroom, wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation, with 4,180 finished sf. Designed to be an architectural showpiece, the rectangular plan for the house was loosely based on a Mediterranean villa style. The house has two eight-pillared porticos. It sits on a knoll with a view of Lake Washington.</p><br>
<p>The property originally contained several outbuildings, including a large gardener&#39;s cottage/garage, a poultry house, boiler shed, and greenhouse. Wurdemann House was positioned at the entrance to Lake Forest Park, replacing a small real estate office that served the new planned community.</p><br>
<p>Built for Harry and May Wurdemann after they moved to Washington, the house was sold in 1924 to Adolf Linden, president of Puget Sound Savings and Loan Association. Linden added a pool and brick-and-iron fence to the property.</p><br>
<h2>Recent changes</h2><br>
<p>After being unoccupied for some years, the property was purchased by a development company in 1990. A portion of the property was sought by a firm with plans to build a 55-unit retirement facility, but the local Planning Commission recommended denial of the application for variance due to widespread opposition from the public.</p><br>
<p>Entrance to the property has changed from a wide, circular drive from the southeast to a small street from the north.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, the mansion was leased by the Seattle Symphony for several months to raise funds through entrance fees. In 2014, private tours were offered to benefit the Shoreline Historical Museum & Heritage Center.</p><br>
<p>The Cole-Evans House is a historic house in Noblesville, Indiana. It was built circa 1840 for Bicknel Cole, a businessman who served in the Indiana Senate from 1836 to 1840.

Constructed by and for the Civilian Conservation Corps  in 1935, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The site is now used by the Highline School District for an outdoor school program focused on environmental education.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The CCC was a federal emergency work program dedicated to the stewardship of America&#39;s natural resources which provided work for unemployed young men and used the enrollees to work on conservation projects. Managed by the United States Army, individual camps and work projects were directed by cooperating agencies. Camp North Bend was directed by the National Forest Service. Built in four months to house 200 men, CCC enrollees at this camp built roads, cleared brush, burned logging slash, fought forest fires, and planted trees. The men of the camp also built the North Bend Ranger Station.</p><br>
<p>Camp North Bend is an example of standard CCC design, originally containing four barracks (two pairs connected by common latrines), officer&#39;s quarters, a kitchen/mess hall, a recreation building, an infirmary, education building and other associated support service buildings (including a garage and worksheds). The camp is sited on the banks of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River, east of North Bend, Washington.</p><br>
<p>Camp North Bend was closed in 1942. It was later used by the King County Sheriff&#39;s Department as a youth recreation camp, when the camp was renamed Camp Waskowitz in honor of a former University of Washington football player killed in World War II. The camp was transferred to the Highline School District in 1958.</p><br>
<h2>Current uses</h2><br>
<p>Camp Waskowitz is currently operated by Highline Public Schools for their Environmental Learning Program. For some years, the National Association of CCC Alumni held their annual meeting at the camp.</p><br>
<p>Other activities that have been held at Camp Waskowitz include free summer camps for young people with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases and women&#39;s workshops in fishing, hunting, and outdoor skills</p><br>

<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>It is a 48 ft high Aermotor steel tower with a 7x7 ft steel "cab", or cabin. The original cabin was replaced in 1959. In 1988, its original ladder was still in place, but new stairs were added in 1965.</p><br>
<p>The D. H. Sutherland House, on Main St. in La Luz, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was built around 1870 by Mariano Ramirez as a three-room, flat-roof, adobe house with small, high windows for "protection from enemies". The house was modified by Dave H. Sutherland after he bought it in 1890, adding a gable roof, a south-facing screened porch, and a number of rooms, and reflecting Victorian influences.</p><br>
<p>The houses interior is "quite traditional, with wood floors, high ceilings, and corner fireplaces. D. H. Sutherland was one of La Luzs more substantial landholders, as in 1898 he owned several large parcels and the water rights to them."</p><br>
<p>The house hosted A. J. Fountain, an attorney, for the night before he was murdered, in La Luz. Fountain was involved in a La Luz water rights lawsuit and other legal conflicts and was murdered in what is now White Sands, probably by a member of Oliver Lee&#39;s gang.</p><br>
<p>The Administration Building in Alamogordo, New Mexico, at 1900 N. White Sands Boulevard, is a building of the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired which was built in 1918. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Trost & Trost. According to its 1988 National Register nomination:The Administration Building is a one-story brick mediterranean style building with a hipped roof of French tile and soffitted wood overhang decorated with built-up dentil course. Windows are metal casement with a concrete sill and lintel that forms a continuous banding around the building. Entry has flat roof with concrete coping over metal casement windows with fan lites and 24 lite metal door. Each brick arch over windows share concrete springer bases. The building was renovated in 1941 and 1980. The windows may have been changed in 1941 remodel. There is a brick soldier course added to form a wainscot from grade to just below window sills in 1980 remodel. A handicapped ramp has been added at the entrance. The building has a rectangular shape. This building was designed by the architectural firm of Trost and Trost in 1918. It was originally a hospital and teacher&#39;s cottage that was changed to administration in the mid 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The Administration Building is one of four buildings constructed on the campus of the New Mexico School of the Visually Handicapped between 1918 and 1935, and the only building remaining from the period built in the Mediterranean Style. The Administration building is significant because it is the only building of five remaining from the period 1912 to 1919 designed by the architectural firm of Trost and Trost. It is a good example of the style that Trost and Trost had set for the campus during this period. Since the Mediterranean and Decorative Brick Styles are similar, the Administration Building fits in with the other buildings on campus. The overall impression of the campus is one of having a uniform style with individual variations among the buildings.</p><br>
<p>When listed in 1988 it was owned by the Regents of the New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped (NMSVH).</p><br>
<p>The Edwin Robert Booth House is a residence located at 94 W. 300 South in Nephi, Utah. Built in 1893, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story Late Victorian style house. According to its 1979 National Register nomination:The significance of the Booth House lies in the merit of the architecture. The refined Victorian elegance of this home speaks eloquently of the bourgeois values of the rural entrepreneurial class and the effort they put into making their homes reflect their distance from the less successful participants in the frontier settlement experience. / Edwin Robert Booth Jr. (1857-1914) was the Nephi City Recorder when he married Anna Elizabeth Brough (1860-1931) and built this home. He had been a councilman in Nephis first city government (1889). In 1899 he was elected mayor of Nephi. During the years following this term of office, he served as the postmaster. Booths business ventures included executive involvement with the Utah Wool Growers Company and the Nephi National Bank. / This impressive Victorian house was built by a man influential in local politics. His wife was a member of one of the first non-Indian families in the area--her father John had been one of those (as had Edwins father, Edwin Sr.) who had built within the Salt Creek Fort which had been constructed, beginning in 1854, as a defense against local Indians. Her brothers built homes in the area--James built the home directly south. / Because of Edwins civic and business involvements, the Booths entertained extensively. The double parlor in the home was the setting for many parties and dinners--with nieces and nephews pitching in to help."</p><br>
<p>The house was in deteriorated condition in 1979. Upon the death of later owner Odell Taylor, "the house was torn apart by relatives looking for money which he had supposedly hidden in the house. It remained unoccupied for many years." Renovations were planned by the 1979 owners.</p><br>

<h2>Border wall dispute</h2><br>
<p>In June 2019, the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) determined that We Build the Wall (WBtW) had built its wall across federally owned land and had built and locked a gate across a road leading to Monument One, without required permits. The IBWC also accused WBtW of installing a gate for the wall on federal land in lieu of proper permits or authorizations, while illegally preventing access to waterways and a public monument. WBtW and the IBWC eventually resolved their dispute. As a result, the gate is kept open during the day and closed and locked at night.</p><br>
