<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Robert E. Schwartz was born in Midland in 1928. He attended the University of Michigan, where he received a degree in architectural design in 1954. In his senior year, Schwartz participated in a special project led by Buckminster Fuller to design a dome shelter of cardboard, a project which influenced his later design for this house. After graduation, Schwartz returned to Midland and apprenticed in the offices of Bob Goodall and Glen Beach, both proteges of Alden B. Dow. Schwartz received his license in 1958, and in the early 1960s opened his own firm with partner Charles Blacklock.</p><br>
<p>In 1964, Schwartz began working on a domed design for his own home. He was contacted by the Dow Chemical Company, which was developing building materials of Styrofoam, and offered to furnish Schwartz with building materials and equipment in exchange for access to the house to inspect the design and lead tour groups through. Schwartz accepted, and the exterior dome was constructed in 1964. The interior took considerably longer, and the Schwartz family moved into the house in 1966. He added an exterior storage shed in 1979 and a carport in 1992. Robert Schwartz lived in the house until his death in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Schwartz House is a three-story, thin-shell, white-painted hemispherical dome structure, constructed with a circular plan.

<p>The Bunnell Coquina City Hall  is a unique one-story public building constructed of locally quarried coquina stone. The property is located at 200 South Church Street, Bunnell, FL 32110 in the downtown section of the city. It includes man-made Lake Lucille with its jetting fountain in the front of the building, which creates an impressive visual appeal to the setting of the property. It was built in 1936–1937 with grant funding from the Work Progress Administration .</p><br>
<p>The Bunnell Coquina City Hall building is an important part of Bunnell&#39;s local history as it provided a community meeting, library and recreation facility to the area during intense economic turmoil which could not have been possible without New Deal funding. Furthermore, it was instrumental in providing employment for unemployed locals during the Great Depression which assisted the local economy.</p><br>
<h2>Construction project</h2><br>
<p>Construction started in 1936 as Zachary Dean Holland, a well-known local contractor, was elected superintendent of the project. Holland hired another local construction worker, John Swain, as foreman to assist with the challenging project. They hired any man in need of a job, regardless of construction experience or skill level. As the project progressed, the pace became slower than originally scheduled. Most workers did not have experience working with coquina stone which complicated the construction process. On October 10, 1936, M.J. Castro, construction superintendent for the WPA in the district that included Bunnell, authorized Holland to hire an additional 40 workers in an attempt to expedite the project towards its January 1, 1937, scheduled completion date.</p><br>
<p>The building stands on a concrete foundation with 13-inch-thick exterior walls made from coquina stone. WPA workers hand shaped and smoothed the coquina stone into irregular configurations using axes. Tool marks are still visible on many of the coquina stones. The project was successfully completed in early 1937. The WPA then turned responsibility over to the City of Bunnell.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural attributes</h2><br>
<p>Its architectural styling, WPA Rustic, reflects the availability of local construction materials coupled with local building traditions and public needs. The building also contains Mission Revival style architectural characteristics which include its four side arched walkways and front arched entrance way. The top canopy on the interior of the porch is finished with paneled wood. All three entrance ways are topped with coquina stone jack arch lintels. Affixed signage in black lettering that reads “Bunnell City Hall” is centrally located above the three bay arched colonnades. A shield-shaped date stone plaque is recessed into the coquina stone and it reads “WPA 1937”. The address of the building “200 S. Church” is displayed with affixed signage in black lettering and located at the northern section of the front of the building. The fenestration of the windows on the front of the building are modern vinyl sliding sash windows that have replaced the original wood framed style windows. All the window apertures are topped with coquina stone jack arched lintels.</p><br>
<h2>Lake Lucille</h2><br>
<p>In front of the Bunnell City Hall building is Lake Lucille. It was once a cypress mud hole that was systematically shoveled out by hand by WPA workers in 1936–1937. The mud that was extracted was moved by wheelbarrows and used to level the four blocks of land behind the City Hall building. Water was then pumped in to create the oval shaped man-made lake. Fishing tournaments for children were once hosted in Lake Lucille. In the 1960s, a fountain was installed in the middle of Lake Lucille which provides a showering show of jetting water and is a key element of the property&#39;s landscape and setting. A paved road runs around Lake Lucille that allows pedestrians and motorists various viewing angles.</p><br>
<h2>Building interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior of the building features a large centrally located primary room, the auditorium, with secondary rooms flanking it and adjacent to the rear of the building. The auditorium&#39;s walls are irregularly shaped coquina stone and the window apertures are topped with coquina stone jack arched lintels. WPA workers created two interesting sculptured coquina stones as one is a heart and the other a dog head shape. The flooring is original pine wood that has been refinished.</p><br>
<p>The northwest and southwest office areas have a plain wood door entrance from the auditorium. These room&#39;s have their original walls that are irregularly shaped coquina stone. The window apertures are topped with coquina stone jack arched lintels. A dropped tile acoustic ceiling was installed in the 1980s to conceal ductwork and electrical cables of a central air conditioning system. The original wood ceiling and beams are now concealed.</p><br>
<p>The rear of the auditorium includes two closets, the kitchen, womens and mens bathrooms. Metal swinging doors lead to both the womens and mens bathrooms. A centrally located modern wood paneled door leads into the kitchen. Wood cabinets, an exhaust hood, stove and a refrigerator have been installed in the kitchen as well as linoleum flooring.</p><br>

<p>Towering over the City of Bunnell is the city&#39;s most visible and iconic landmark: the City of Bunnell elevated steel water tower. The water tower is located at 100 Utility Street, Bunnell, FL 32110. It was built in 1926 by Chicago Bridge & Iron Company as part of a new waterworks system for Bunnell that went into operation in December 1927 and has been providing water to residents and local businesses to this day. The water tower is 110 feet high and its elevated steel tank holds 75,000 gallons of water. The elevated steel water tank has a conical top, Horton hemispherical bottom and is supported by four steel columns  and reinforced with steel cross braces. The east and west sides of the elevated tank have black painted signage that read “City of Bunnell, Crossroads of Flagler County”</p><br>
<h2>Water works system project of 1927</h2><br>
<p>In January 1927, Bunnell signed a contract with the Gray Artesian Well Company of St. Augustine to drill a well approximately 90 feet deep with casing that is suitable for pumping for the new waterworks system. After the well was completed water was tested by the Florida State Board of Health who declared it to be of fine quality, pure with no color or taste and with only three hundred to a million hardness. A second well was drilled so there would be a sufficient quantity of water for the city as it grew. The contracted price for these wells was $2,375 each.</p><br>
<p>Bids for furnishing materials, labor and construction for the new waterworks were opened on March 28, 1927. More than fifteen bids were received by Engineer N.A. Hotard. On April 11, 1927, the Bunnell city commission awarded the contract to the Hopper Construction Company.</p><br>
<p>On July 7, 1927, material began arriving at the site of the new water plant, which was determined by the newly dug artesian wells. F.W. Hopper, of the Hooper Construction Company, stated that the project would most likely be finished in 140 working days and ahead of schedule. Construction of the new water system did move fast and by September 8, 1927 the majority of the main pipes and fire hydrants were installed and concrete forms for the reservoir were nearly completed. Representatives from the Chicago Bridge & Iron Works were working on erecting the steel water tank and its tower. The city purchased the steel water tower through the J.B. McCrary Company.</p><br>
<p>On October 27, 1927, Engineer Paynter, who was leading the construction project of the new waterworks predicted that the system would be operational by December 1, 1927 despite a pump that was scheduled to arrive late. Paynter also announced that the new system could temporarily be connected to the present water source until the new wells and pumps are available. The potential delay regarding cutting up sections of State Road No. 4 was avoided when chairman of the Bunnell city commission, J.J. McLanahan, announced that a satisfactory agreement with State Road Engineer Thrasher was reached. The agreement details were that four places in State Road No. 4 will be cut up and after the water mains are installed the trenches will be covered and refilled with concrete.</p><br>
<p>On December 1, 1927, Bunnell City Clerk, John Gerz, announced that due to a few construction delays the new waterworks system should be operational within the next two weeks. Some water meters were still pending installation but Gerz said they would be ready when the new system is ready to be turned on. Bunnell officials said, “this will prove in time one of the best advertisements for Bunnell that could be named”.</p><br>
<h2>New water works system put into operation in 1927</h2><br>
<p>On December 12, 1927, Bunnells new waterworks system went operational. Almost immediately the old systems lines were cut off and all consumers were connected onto the new waterworks system. The Flagler Tribune reported on December 15, 1927 that “One of the most important events ever to occur in Bunnell took place this week when the new $100,000 waterworks system was turned on for the first time…” The new waterworks system included several miles of 10, 8, 6 and 2 inch mains that were laid on all city streets, fire hydrants, an elevated steel water tank on tower, storage reservoir and a pumping station. Water samples from the new waterworks system were taken on a monthly basis and sent to the Florida State Board of Health in Jacksonville to be examined by a chemist. According to a report published in the Flagler Tribune on June 28, 1928 Chief Engineer, E.L. Filby stated, “from the…analytical data we would say that the bacterial or sanitary quality of your water is very good.”</p><br>
<h2>Current usage</h2><br>
<p>Currently, the Bunnell Water Tower is in daily usage, over ninety years since it first went into operation, and provides the City of Bunnell with water during emergencies when electric and generator sources are not available. The city&#39;s two modern 350,000 gallon ground storage tanks cannot provide sufficient water pressure during these types of emergencies. The Bunnell Water Tower is inspected each year and is repainted every five years.</p><br>

<p>The Clearview Golf Club  was the first golf course in the United States to be built, owned, and operated by an African American. The club was started in 1946, with Bill Powell purchasing the land and working on it in his spare time. It opened to the public and to all races in April 1948. The club, which is located outside of East Canton, Ohio, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Bill Powell&#39;s daughter, Renee Powell who learned to play on Clearview, went on to become the second black woman to play on the LPGA tour.</p><br>
<h2>About</h2><br>
<p>The Clearview Golf Club is currently the only golf course in the United States that was designed, built, managed, and owned entirely by African Americans. It is one of 13 black-owned or operated golf courses in the US.</p><br>
<p>The club is located two miles outside of East Canton, Ohio. It is a par-72 course. It has 18 holes and covers around 130 acres of land.</p><br>
<p>The club is named "Clearview" because Bill Powell, the designer and first owner, wanted a place that "would represent his clear view of what the game should be about: access for all." The club is currently managed by Bill&#39;s children, Larry Powell and Renee Powell.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Clearview Golf Club was designed by Bill Powell and was begun in East Canton, Ohio in 1946. As an African American, Powell had faced prejudice when attempting to join other golf clubs in the United States, so he chose to build his own. First, Powell tried to get a GI loan, but was turned down. Powell obtained financial support for his effort to build the golf club from two black physicians and from his brother who took out a second mortgage. With this support, he was able to purchase a 78-acre dairy farm.</p><br>
<p>Powell moved his family to a house on the golf course. He completed the first nine holes by 1948. Renee would go on to become the second black woman to play on the LPGA tour.</p><br>
<p>Once the club was open, it welcomed everyone, regardless of race. The club did experience some problems with vandalism and community hostility, but these did not impair the clubs success. But Powell didnt care. He said, "I wanted this to be a place where race didn&#39;t matter; where the only thing that matters is the game of golf."</p><br>
<p>Powell expanded the club to eighteen holes in 1978. In 1995, Renee took over as head golf professional at Clearview. Her father, Bill, never saw a profit while running the course. Like her father and her brother, Larry, Renee didn&#39;t draw a salary for working at the club. Renovations sponsored by the PGA of America took place in 1999.</p><br>
<p>In 2001, the course was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Also in 2001, the course began to operate as a non-profit under the name, Clearview Legacy Foundation. The foundation, the club and the Ohio Historical Society erected a historical marker on the site in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The club was renovated for free in 2004 by Hurdzan-Fry Golf Course Design. The drainage system was connected to two ponds on the course.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, civil engineering students from the University of Akron provided drawings and designs to help renovate the golf course. The drawings helped the fundraising drive to raise $1.6 million for capital improvements. In 2009, the club faced problems when Buckeye Industrial Mining was allowed to mine coal 370 feet from the club.</p><br>
<p>The L.W. Shevling Ranch, in Harding County, South Dakota, dates from 1883. A 3.5 acre portion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>It is located east of Harding in the West Short Pine Hills area.</p><br>
<p>The listing included 12 contributing buildings and two contributing structures. The oldest building, a log structure, is believed to have been built in 1883.</p><br>
<p>The John and Daisy May Livingston Ranch, in Harding County, South Dakota near Sorum, South Dakota, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The part of the ranch which was listed included two contributing buildings and eight non-contributing ones on 4 acre. It includes a house built in 1916.</p><br>
<p>It is located 3.5 mi east of South Dakota State Highway 79, on the south side of the Sorum Road, about 5 mi west of the abandoned town of Sorum.</p><br>
<p>The Giannonatti Ranch, in Harding County, South Dakota near Ludlow, includes 10 structures dating from around 1900. A 2 acre portion of the ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>It is located on the south side of an east-west section road about 6 mi east of Ludlow.</p><br>
<p>Six of the structures are contributing buildings, one is a contributing structure, the rest were deemed not to contribute to the historic character of the property.</p><br>
<p>The Vessey School, on County Road 859 in Harding County, South Dakota, near Haley, North Dakota, was built around 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The listing included a second contributing building, a small house which was moved to the site to serve as a teacherage.</p><br>
<p>It is located 2.5 mi south of the North Dakota state line.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Ashcroft Ranch, in Harding County, South Dakota near Buffalo was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The ranch is located on the floodplain of the South Fork of the Grand River, east-northeast of Buffalo.</p><br>
<p>Its ranch house was deemed to be "One of the most architecturally impressive houses in Harding County" and is a two-story stone house with a hipped roof and an L-shaped plan. It was built in 1910 of fieldstone from the site, and overlooks the river.</p><br>
<p>The listing included seven contributing buildings and four contributing structures, all from around 1910, and a couple non-contributing modern structures.</p><br>
<p>The Pioneer Square Pergola is a cast iron and glass pergola in Pioneer Square, a park in Downtown Seattle, Washington, United States. It was built in 1909 to shelter passengers waiting for cable cars on the James Street and Yesler Way lines. The pergola is located at the intersection of 1st Avenue and Yesler Way, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977 alongside the adjacent Pioneer Building and totem pole.</p><br>
<p>The structure originally included an underground public bathroom that was closed after the end of cable car service in the 1940s. After decades of deterioration, the pergola was restored by the city government in 1972 with an extensive renovation and dedicated as part of Pioneer Square plaza. It was rebuilt entirely in 2001 after the pergola was destroyed by a semi-truck collision, costing $3.4 million. The rebuilt pergola has since been reinforced and protected against future collisions, but has suffered damage in other incidents.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Victorian-style, triangular structure was designed by Julian F. Everett, a local architect, and originally functioned as a comfort station. It measures 60 ft long and 16 ft high, supported by a series of iron columns. It featured ornate iron decorations, a glass roof, and an underground public bathroom that opened on September 23, 1909, at a cost of $24,000. The bathroom, one of the first underground facilities of its kind for Seattle, featured terrazzo floors, brass and nickel fixtures, and white Alaskan marble stalls. It had sixteen stalls for men and nine for women, and was described as the best and most lavish public restroom west of the Mississippi. Its inclusion was controversial at the time, having been deemed an unsightly addition to the park by The Seattle Times and community groups. The bathroom itself was closed in 1948 in lieu of renovations.</p><br>
<h3>1972 restoration</h3><br>
<p>The pergola was restored in 1972 with a $100,000 donation from James E. Casey, who founded the United Parcel Service in Pioneer Square. Using the original blueprints to recreate the ornamental roof and light fixtures, restoration work began in July 1972 and was finished in February 1973 ahead of the formal dedication of the expanded Pioneer Square parkspace. The pergola&#39;s underground bathroom was left untouched by the renovation and was unsuccessfully proposed as an addition to the Seattle Underground Tour in the late 1990s. A similar pergola at Occidental Park was built in the 1970s and removed in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The renovated pergola suffered accelerated deterioration that forced it to be closed and repaired in 1992 at a cost of $100,000, as bolts used during the restoration had rusted.</p><br>
<h3>2001 destruction and 2002 rebuild</h3><br>
<p>It was accidentally destroyed on January 15, 2001, in a collision with a commercial semi-truck that clipped the structure while making a 90-degree turn. Owing to its status as a city landmark, the city government pledged to rebuild the pergola or build a new structure if restoration proved infeasible. The trucking company claimed full responsibility and funded $1 million towards the cost of rebuilding the pergola through its insurer.</p><br>
<p>Working with project architect Ron Wright & Associates, Seidelhuber Iron and Bronze Works rebuilt the pergola based on repaired sections rather than the original documents, at a cost of $3.4 million. While the project was originally planned to be finished in time for Christmas, the repair work required more time and was made more complicated by the February 2001 earthquake, which caused the roof of the underground restroom to sink by 5.5 in. The Seidelhuber foundrys owners financed the projects performance bond on their own, requiring them to sell their home and wedding rings. Installation of the restored pergola elements began in June 2002, using only one percent of new material for the exterior furnishings. The new pergola was fitted with a steel skeleton to prevent a future collapse; the twelve Corinthian columns and sixteen arches were rebuilt using iron from the original structure.</p><br>
<p>The pergola was reopened on August 17, 2002, costing a total of $3.9 million.</p><br>
<h3>2000s to present</h3><br>
<p>Due to repeated vehicle strikes, the city government installed structural poles and bollards to protect the pergola. The bollards stopped two semi-trucks in 2008 and 2012 and prevented further damage to the structure. It was struck twice in 2013 by a semi-truck and a hit-and-run driver who damaged the iron fencing around the structure. Seattle Seahawks fans celebrating the teams Super Bowl XLVIII victory in February 2014 climbed atop the pergola and broke twenty of the glass roof panes; Seahawks fans and private businesses later raised $25,000 through crowdfunding for repairs to the structure. In response, a temporary fence was installed around the pergola ahead of the teams appearance at the following Super Bowl in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The C.C. Cavanah House in Boise, Idaho, is a 2-story Colonial Revival structure designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and built by W.D. Stevens in 1906 for Charles Cavanah. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The original design featured eight rooms, including four bedrooms, and a "broad porch" that was divided and enclosed sometime after construction. Tourtellotte & Co. intended an exterior of brick veneer with stone trimmings, but the NRHP nomination form described an exterior of clapboard siding below square shingles.</p><br>
<p>Charles Cavanah served as Boise City Attorney, and in 1906 he was elected to represent Ada County in the Idaho State Legislature. Later he was appointed a federal district judge. In 1925 Charles F. Hummel designed a more stately house for Cavanah, the Charles C. Cavanah house (1925), also known as the Angell house, now part of the Warm Springs Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan Smith House in Boise, Idaho, is a -story Colonial Revival farmhouse designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in 1900. The house features a veneer of cobblestones from the Boise River below shingled upper gables and hooded dimple windows, but its most prominent design element is a front facing basket arch balcony above the porch. The overall design is an early example of a Bungalow, and it influenced later designs in Boise. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Originally 8-rooms, the interior featured indoor plumbing and "the patent hard-wall plaster now being tried." The Idaho Statesman described the walls as being as hard as adamant.</p><br>
<p>Nathan Smith was a farmer in South Boise who owned an orchard of prune trees. After Smith&#39;s death in 1907, the house became the property of W.M. Stockton. By 1913 the house had become known as "Fairlawns."</p><br>
<p>The First National Bank of Gilbert is a historic bank building in Gilbert, Minnesota, United States. It was constructed in 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. It was nominated for its prominent Neoclassical architecture and for the financial support it gave to the area&#39;s agricultural sector. Located in a region better known for its mining industry, the First National Bank of Gilbert distinguished itself by providing capital to farmers and sponsoring agricultural societies.</p><br>
<p>The Finnish Sauna is a former public bath in Virginia, Minnesota, United States. It opened around 1912 to cater to urban Finnish Americans who wished to maintain the Finnish sauna tradition. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and social history. It was nominated for representing the strong influence of Finnish American culture on the Iron Range, and the commercial services developed to perpetuate it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Finnish Sauna is a two-story brick building with a 25 by footprint. The primary façade contains an offset front door and four windows, two on each floor. The exterior brick is painted. The building has a flat roof that slopes to the rear.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Virginias Finnish Sauna opened around 1912. Finnish immigrants had flocked to Minnesotas Iron Range to take jobs in the local mines. Enterprising Finnish Americans opened commercial saunas in many Iron Range communities in response to ongoing interest in this aspect of Finnish culture among miners and their families with no access to private saunas. Commercial saunas were more than just a place to get clean. They served as social centers for Finnish Americans, much as other groups might socialize at a coffee shop, bar, or bowling alley.</p><br>
<p>Most of the Iron Ranges commercial saunas closed as home saunas became more common in the 1950s. Virginias sauna managed to stay in business longer, thanks to owners who valued its historical significance and a clientele of seniors on fixed incomes, migrant mine workers, and locals for whom it remained a social hangout. It was still in business in 1980 when its National Register documentation was prepared, but it has since closed.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Earlington, at 118 E. Main St. in Earlington, Kentucky, dated from 1890. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It was a two-story Italianate-style building, built in 1880 and serving as a house for Thomas McEuen until 1885. It was modified to serve as a hotel in the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as the largest hotel in Earlington from its era, and as "one of the few remaining structures associated with the early commerce of the town and the only relatively unaltered 19th century hotel standing in the county."</p><br>
<p>It was demolished in January 2021, after an attempt to renovate was unsuccessful.</p><br>
<p>The Madisonville Commercial Historic District, in Madisonville, Kentucky, is an 11 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The listing included 28 contributing buildings on 11 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Hopkins County Courthouse, is the only building in the district which is free-standing, upon the public square; the others are in rows.</p><br>
<p>It includes much of the historic commercial and governmental center of Madisonville.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was built in 1938 and has a Doric-style portico.</p><br>
<p>It includes a two-and-a-half-story brick and stone Richardsonian Romanesque bank building, the Morton Bank, at 7 North Main St., built around 1890.</p><br>
<p>It is centered upon Center and Main Streets.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Post Office, also known as the Blackwell Building, is a former post office  located at the rear of 125 North Jackson Street in Jackson, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first post office in Jackson was located in the log house of Isaiah Bennett, the villages first postmaster. In 1839, Joseph G.R. Blackwell, a wealthy businessman, constructed this stone structure to house his general store, located facing what was then the towns small public square. It was later used to house the town&#39;s post office, a use which continued until 1894, By that time, Jackson was large enough to have outgrown the small building, and the Stone Post Office was abandoned in favor of a larger structure built with federal financing. The commercial center of Jackson was also growing, and larger structures were built around the old Stone Post Office, relegating it to the rear of other buildings. Since that time, it has mostly been used as a warehouse for a series of downtown businesses.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The old Stone Post Office is a two-story sandstone structure. Six pillars and two engaged columns are strung across the first floor of what was once the front of the building. The building has nineteen windows, all of which are boarded up. There are five doors, only two of which are currently used. One end of the building is connected to the commercial building fronting the lot.</p><br>
<p>The Ella Sharp Museum is a historical museum located at 3225 4th Street in Jackson, Michigan. The original structure is a nineteenth-century farmhouse, the Ella Sharp House , which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1855, Abraham Wing of Glen Falls, New York purchased a large farm at this location, then on the outskirts of the city of Jackson. In 1856, Wing&#39;s daughter Mary married Dwight Merriman, and the couple assumed management of the farm, although Wing still owned it. The farm at the time included a small house, likely built in the early 1840s. The Merrimans immediately expanded this house by adding a Greek Revival front section to it. In 1862, they expanded the house again, adding an Italianate tower and another small addition.</p><br>
<p>By the 1860s, the farm was one of the most prosperous in the area, and the Merrimans were active in the community&#39;s social life. The Merrimans had four children, three of whom died young. The fourth, Ella, was born in 1857.</p><br>
<p>In 1881, Ella married John C. Sharp, a lawyer who had served as Jackson City Attorney and as Prosecuting Attorney for Jackson County. In 1884, The Merrimans turned their farm over to John and Ella Sharp to move into town, and John discontinued his law practice to concentrate on farming. Under the Sharps management, the farm improved even more. John Sharp died in 1908, and Ella Sharp continued to manage the farm until her death in 1912. Ella Sharp bequeathed the house and farm to the city of Jackson to be used as a museum and park.</p><br>
<p>The city of Jackson hired Winiford C. Trout, who began laying out the grounds of the park in 1915. The Ella Sharp Park was opened in 1916. However, the Ella Sharp Museum did not open until 1965.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ella Sharp House is a two-story brick structure with an attached three-story freestanding Italianate tower topped with a wooden cupola. The house has a tetrastyle two story front porch. The windows are six over six units with stone lintels and sills and shutters. The surrounding yard is enclosed by a solid stone wall, constructed at some point prior to 1865. A carriage porch graces the south side-of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Ella Sharp Museum contains other buildings in a surrounding historical complex. These include the 1875 Dibble School, a log cabin, and a country store.</p><br>
<p>The Blagden Alley-Naylor Court Historic District is a neighborhood in the Shaw district of Washington, D.C., characterized by two alleyways, Blagden Alley and Naylor Court, bounded by 9th, 10th, M and O Sts., NW.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The names Blagden Alley and Naylor Court were derived from two 19th-century property owners, Thomas Blagden and Dickerson Nailor.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, residential development in Washington, DC, expanded north from downtown to the Blagden Alley-Naylor Court area and attracted several prestigious, affluent residents, including Blanche Bruce, the first African-American to serve a full term in the USA Senate, whose historic house is adjacent to the south entrance to Blagden Alley.</p><br>
<p>Local residents saw the alley dwellings as a nuisance, and Congress passed a law banning their construction in 1892.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1930s, reformers led by Eleanor Roosevelt sought to eradicate deplorable living conditions in alleys citywide and used Blagden Alley as their model.</p><br>
<p>Much of the neighborhood suffered damage in the 1968 Washington, D.C. riots, and the alley dwellings were largely abandoned.</p><br>
<h2>Designation as historic district</h2><br>
<p>In 1990, the Blagden Alley Association of local homeowners submitted an application to the District&#39;s Historic Preservation Review Board to have Blagden Alley and Naylor Court designated as a historic district. In addition to the Blanche K. Bruce House, the work of several notable architects were identified, including Queen Anne style brickwork on buildings designed by Nicholas T. Haller, the Romanesque Revival style of Thomas Franklin Schneider and Paul J. Pelz, the Classical Revival style of B. Stanley Simmons and Albert H. Beers, and also a residence designed by T. J. Collins.</p><br>
<p>The D.C. Archives and Record Center moved into the former B.F. McCaully & Co. Tally-Ho Stables in Naylor Court in 1990, but the facility fell into disrepair over the next decade - the archives hold the original wills of Dolley Madison, Francis Scott Key, Frederick Douglass, Henry Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Alexander Graham Bell and Louis D. Brandeis.</p><br>
<h2>Modern redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>In 1996, the alleys were rezoned from residential to commercial. New development accelerated with the opening of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center nearby in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Blagden Alley was home to a thriving arts scene in the late 1990s, centered around the Signal 66 Art Space and the Planet Vox TV studio. Fight Club DC, an indoor skate park and music venue, was in Blagden Alley in the mid-2000s. The alley walls and garage doors display a collection of murals and mosaics, part of the D.C. Alley Museum, founded in 2015. One of the more notable murals is "LOVE" by Lisa Marie Thalhammer.</p><br>
<p>Cafes, restaurants, and bars began opening in the alleys after 2010. A sandwich shop, SUNdeVICH, opened in Naylor Court in 2011, to citywide acclaim. The A&D Tavern opened at the 9th St. entrance to Naylor Court in late 2012. The owners of the building restored a faded sign on the building for "Julius Viedt Jr. Groceries."</p><br>
<p>La Colombe Coffee Roasters opened its first D.C. location in Blagden Alley in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Waterloo Farm Museum is a museum located at 9998 Waterloo-Munith Road in Waterloo Township, Michigan. It was originally the Siebold Farm and then the Realy Farm. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1844, Johannes Siebold emigrated to the United States from the town of Endersbach in Germany, along with his new wife Fredrika and her two children by an earlier marriage, Johannes Jacob and Katrinka Ruehle. The family briefly stayed in Ann Arbor before traveling to Jackson County, Waterloo Township, where they purchased this property in 1846 from James Goodwin, an immigrant from England. James Goodwin, his wife Sarah Goodwin and five children were already living in a log cabin on the property. Sarah and their youngest daughter, Emma, aged 4, died in 1842 (presumably from illness) and are buried on the farm.</p><br>
<p>Siebold began farming. The farm prospered, and in 1854, Siebold constructed a new house, which is now the northern section of the present farmhouse. Within a few years, the remainder of the farmhouse was built. At Siebold&#39;s death, the farm passed to his step-son, Johannes Jacob Ruehle. Ruehle married Catherine Archenbronn, then served in the Civil War, where his name was changed to "Realy." The Realys had seven children, five of whom remained unmarried and lived on the farm throughout their lives.</p><br>
<p>As the farm progressed into the twentieth century, it became known for its cider, processed in a cider mill that once stood across the street from the farmhouse. The Realy family lived on the farm until it was encompassed by the creation of the Waterloo State Recreation Area. When the last Realy brother died, the state of Michigan took possession of the property. The state demolished the barns and cider mill. In 1962, the Waterloo Area Historical Society was formed to save and restore the remainder of the farm. The Society arranged to lease three acres of land surrounding the farmyard from the state, on the condition they maintain the farm as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Siebold farmhouse is a two-story brick structure built in two sections, distinguished by the gable roofs running at right angles to each other. Another L-shaped section on one side of the house is 1-1/2 stories high and is covered with clapboard siding. The house contains patches of fieldstone decorating the bricks. The house has a bay on the one side and three porches, all of which have Victorian style wood trim. One porch and the bay have wood shingle roofs.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, rooms include a pantry, dining room, sitting room, parlor, young girls bedroom, weaving room, childrens room, large front bedroom, parents bedroom, and drying room. The clapboard section of the house was used as a work area, and contains a kitchen, hired mans quarters, and wood shed.</p><br>
<p>The farm also contains outbuildings, including a ten-foot Perkins windmill, a milk house, ice house, bake house, and a former hog barn (now a repair shop). The original barns and cider mill were demolished in the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The El Centro Main Post Office, in El Centro, California, was built in 1931. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as USA Post Office-El Centro Main.</p><br>
<p>It is Beaux Arts in style, with a large loggia across the front which is common to Italianate or Second Renaissance Revival style. It has classical Corinthian columns. Design is credited to James A. Wetmore and Louis A. Simon of the Office of the Supervising Architect.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination discusses its architecture:The El Centro Main Office is anomalous, both in terms of its size, its style, and in the use of expensive materials. Stylistically, the El Centro Post Office is essentially Beaux Arts Classicism, though by 1932, this style was at least 15 years out of date. It is unique among 1930s post offices for its unusual style alone; the other Beaux-Arts buildings from the early thirties also housed federal courts or other federal agencies, and were designed by private architects. By 1932, the Office of the Supervising Architect was developing the Starved Classical style, and the most common style used for small post offices in California was some form of Mediterranean Revival. In any event, the post office is the most sophisticated Beaux-Arts building in town, and acts as a</p><br>
<p>major urban design focus for the town&#39;s archiecture and public spaces: On the state level, the building is important as a stylistically anachronistic example of the small post office building type.</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt School in Boise, Idaho, is a 2-story, brick and concrete elementary school designed by Wayland & Fennell and constructed by O.W. Allen in 1919. The building features Classical Revival design elements and a flat roof with a parapet above a horizontal course of decorative concrete.</p><br>
<p>The 1919 design included eight classrooms, office, library, auditorium, and gymnasium. The building required 450,000 bricks. In 1946 a 4-room expansion was added to the east side, and a 3-room expansion was added in 1951.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Welch House in Boise, Idaho, is a 2-story Bungalow designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel and constructed in 1912. The house includes a prominent gable above an outset, 2-story bay to the right of a projecting porch. The porch features two square columns rising on either side above a shed roof over the main entry. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Although the NRHP nomination form refers to the Edward Welch House, Mr. Welch may not have owned the house nor lived there. Tene E. Welch petitioned for divorce from her husband, Edward Welch, in December 1911. In September 1912 Mrs. Welch announced plans to build the house, and she purchased lots 11 and 12 in block 2 of Boise&#39;s Warm Springs Addition where the house is located. In 1925 Mrs. Welch installed glass windows in the open-air porch. With the omission of Mr. Welch from documents and with Mrs. Welch listed as the property owner, it may be more accurate to refer to the house as the Tene E. Welch House.</p><br>
