<p>The Frank and Dorothy Ward House was a single-family residence designed by architect Yuzuru Kawahara and previously located at 257 Lakeshore Drive in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Unfortunately, despite its National Register status, the house was demolished in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frank Ward was born in 1912. When he turned 16, he enrolled at the Northwestern Military and Naval Academy in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. He graduated in 1932, and was commissioned in the US Army. He served in World War II, eventually rising to the rank of colonel. As part of his duties, he was sent to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to research which structures in those cities had been strong enough to withstand the atomic blasts detonated at the end of the war. After leaving the military, Ward became the Civil Defense Director for Michigan and, in 1957, he became the Civil Defense Director for Battle Creek.</p><br>
<p>In 1951, Ward purchased two lots in Battle Creek and began searching for an architect to design a house. He hired Yuzuru Kawahara, who had studied with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin from 1944 through 1948. Kawahara had assisted other Taliesin graduates with designs, and later went on to become a prolific designer of commercial</p><br>
<p>structures in San Jose, California. The Ward residence was his first and only solo residential commission. Kawahara designed a Wrightian house that faced the lakefront, and incorporated a fallout shelter in the basement, requested by Ward based on his wartime experiences. The house was built over the timeframe of a year, and finished in 1952. The Ward House remained in the ownership of the Ward family until 2013, after which it was sold. The house was later demolished to build a new house in its place.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ward House was located on a triangular lakefront lot with much wider lake frontage than road frontage. The design of the house incorporated extensive lake views. The house was a one-story, L-shaped dwelling with an intersecting, unevenly pitched gable rooflines and wide, overhanging eaves. The walls were made of red brick and cypress planks, and the house sat on a concrete block foundation. An attached garage was located on one side of the structure. The main entrance to the house was located in the corner formed by the intersecting L.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the floor plan contained a central living and dining room area from which two perpendicular wings extended. One wing contained a continuous side hallway, off which were located three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office. The other wing contained the kitchen and garage. The kitchen also contained a stairwell to the basement. The basement contained multiple rooms, including an elaborate fallout shelter, separate from the foundations of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Elsinore White Rock Schoolhouse, at 25 S. 100 East in Elsinore, Utah, was built in 1896. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story building on a raised full basement, built of native white limestone, about 35x76 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>It was built 23 years after Mormon converts from Scandinavia settled Elsinore, and was built by local craftsmen who were either Scandinavian born or children thereof. Per its National Register nomination:Construction of the building commenced in 1896 and was completed in 1898. The white rock -was quarried from a mountain 12 miles southeast of Elsinore near the Piute-Sevier county line. The quarried rock was transported by wagon from the quarry to the construction site. Most of the freighters were only able to make one trip per day but N.P. Anderson, a Dane, became the exception by making two trips each day. / John Marinus Johnson, a stone cutter and mason trained in America, contracted to build the school according to plans prepared by architect T.T. Davis. The stone work done by Johnson and his sons exemplify a remarkably high quality of stonework. / Most of the able bodied men of Elsinore participated in the construction of the School. Carl and Hans Johnson, Niels Anderson were the blacksmiths on the project. Peter "Wheelmaker" Christensen, a wheelmaker by trade, kept the rock bearing wagons in repair. Tenders and mud mixers were Ras Nielson, Chris "Cute" M. Anderson, Hans Johnson, Jim Hermansen, Fred Lott, and Chris Christiansen. Chris Christopherson did a great deal of the brick work, including the chimney. The carpenters were Christian Canutson and James "Black Jim" P. Hansen. / Thomas Christian Jensen, the father of Bishop J.I. Jensen, and James C. Nielson made the silver tone bell in the belfry. Thomas Christian was a brazier by vocation. The bell was constructed at the foundry on the canal behind Jensens home in Elsinore. The bell rang the children to and from school until the closing of the school in 1958.</p><br>
<p>The bell "disappeared" sometime during 1970–77.</p><br>
<p>The building outlasted a brick new school which replaced it, and operated for 60 years, but has been demolished.</p><br>
<p>The McAdams and Morford Building in Lexington, Kentucky, also known as the Melodeon Hall, is a 3-story commercial building constructed in 1849. An Italianate cast iron facade was added after 1857. Druggists McAdams & Morford occupied a corner space in the building 1898–1994.</p><br>
<p>The building was home to Lexington&#39;s Melodeon Hall, a theater and meeting space with seating for 300 patrons. Robert Jefferson Breckinridge addressed a gathering at the Melodeon in 1861, and his remarks helped to preserve Kentucky as a Union state during the American Civil War, although Kentucky maintained separate Union and Confederate state governments during the war.</p><br>
<p>The University of Kentucky (Transylvania University) Commercial College occupied the building for 35 years under the direction of Wilbur R. Smith. In 1908 the college was incorporated separately from the university as the Wilbur R. Smith Business College.</p><br>
<p>In 2017 a vehicle damaged the building, and repair workers uncovered arches from the cast iron facade that had been hidden by previous remodeling.</p><br>
<p>The McAdams and Morford logo appears on the cover of the 2000 album The Sickness from the nu-metal group, Disturbed.</p><br>

<p>The Apache Motel is a historic motel in Moab, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The motel is located at 166 South 400 East and was built in 1954. The origin of the name, Apache Motel, is disputed. Despite the name, none of the Apache tribes ever occupied the region surrounding Moab. It has been occupied by Navajo, Ute, and Paiute groups. The name may have it origins with one of two movies filmed a few years earlier or from a uranium mining company.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP listing included Modern Movement style, in some or all of its two contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and one contributing object. The motel was constructed during an important era of dramatic change for Moab and was one of the first motels erected in the city.

<p>The Sam Brannan Cottage, at 109 Wappo Ave. in Calistoga, California, was built in 1862. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing included four contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It was originally a 22x41 ft wood-frame building, but has been somewhat modified. Its National Register nomination states that it is:significant for being the last of the 25 guest cottages of Sam Brannans Calistoga Hot Springs Resort remaining on its original site, complete with the "weedy palm" as described by Robert Louis Stevenson in the Silverado Squatters. The development of the areas geothermal resource by Brannan was extremely significant to the commercial growth of the 19th Century Napa County and quickly inspired many other such resorts for which the valley became famous and remains so today.</p><br>
<p>The cottages architecture utilizes classical elements to convey a feeling of civilization and leisure in the rugged early days of Calistoga in the 1860s. Brannans selection of this design with gabled roofs and large arch-enclosed porches was enhanced by great attention to the landscaping around the hot springs, including the palm tree planted in front of each cottage. Today, the majority of the now-mature palms tower over the small town, still marking the original location of the cottages.</p><br>
<p>In 1852, when Sam Brannan first saw "Indian Hot Springs", Calistogas original name, the area was populated with a few early settlers. In 1859, he purchased the 2,000 acres surrounding the Hot Springs and named it Calistoga from joining the words California and Saratoga (New Yorks world-famous mineral water spa). By 1862, he opened the resort and Calistoga grew quickly as a result of this service industry and the quicksilver mining nearby. In 1862, the resort, in its prime, boasted such amenities as a large hot springs bath house, an assortment of small bathing pavilions, landscaped parks, a druidical temple built of petrified wood from the nearby Petrified Forest, a roller skating rink, a dance pavilion, a hotel with dining room, an observatory for viewing Napa Valley, and a tree-lined race track with stables where at one time Messrs. Stanford, Lick, Hopkins, and Hearst kept horses.</p><br>
<p>Twenty-five guest cottages surrounded the Hot Springs Resort. Brannan chose two different designs; the cottage at 109 Wappo is the only remaining example of its type. Two cottages of the other type survive; both have been moved from their original sites.</p><br>
<p>The cottage is privately owned and operates as part of a hotel called the Brannan Cottage Inn.</p><br>
<p>Monsieur Girons Confectionery in Lexington, Kentucky, is a 2-story Greek Revival building constructed of brick in 1829. The building replaced an earlier wood frame building at the site, also occupied by Monsieur Girons Confectionery. A 50-ft ballroom on the second floor was partitioned by folding doors into two spaces. Originally seven bays wide, only three bays in the north half of the building remain. The building&#39;s remnant was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Noteworthy visitors</h2><br>
<p>Giron entertained General Lafayette at the Mill Street confectionery in 1825, and Giron&#39;s cook, Dominique Ritter, made a celebrated cake for the occasion.</p><br>
<p>Mary Todd Lincoln was thought to have been one of the confectionery&#39;s best customers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>French immigrant Mathurin Giron arrived in Lexington in the early 19th century, and in 1812 he advertised for an apprentice to learn the confectionery business.</p><br>
<p>Giron purchased the confectionery from Henry Terrass, owner of a wood frame building on Mill Street with an upstairs ballroom, and the business included "the yellow framed house on Main Street." Giron partnered briefly with H.I.I. Robert in 1814 under the name M. Giron & H. Robert. The partnership operated at two locations, with Giron at the Mill Street site and Robert in charge of the Main Street branch.</p><br>
<p>John Darrac organized a dancing school at the ballroom in 1815, with a "practizing (sic) ball every other week." Darrac also taught French language lessons. By 1819 the dancing school was operated by Henry Guibert, and in 1820 the school was taught by Mr. Schaffer.</p><br>
<p>The ballroom also was used for dinners, lectures, and political gatherings.</p><br>
<p>Giron advertised for apprentices in 1836. In 1840 Mr. Richardson advertised his dancing school, and by that time Giron may not have been involved with the ballroom. Giron retired from the confectionery in 1844.</p><br>

<p>The Oscar M. Booth House, at 395 E. 100 South in Nephi, Utah, was built in 1893 with Queen Anne styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It has an octagonal corner tower and other decorative elements of Queen Anne style. It was built by carpenter Oscar M. Booth (1868-1944).</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination asserts it is "a fine example of the Queen Anne architectural style in Utah," but explains:Lacking the massing and textured complexity of the most well defined Queen Anne examples, the Booth house is a complete if subdued statement of the style and reflects its typical, or vernacular, form in Utah. The house type itself is by a side-hall plan and asymmetrical massing, while decorative elements such as the shingled gables (the use of masonry walls precluded the varied wall surface textures associated with the style), the long wrap-around porch, and the octagonal tower with conical roof, consistently articulate the stylistic principles of the Queen Anne. The Booth house is historically significant because it helps to record the assimilation of the picturesque Victorian aesthetic into the mainstream of popular architecture in late nineteenth-century Utah. Further, Oscar M. Booth was a local carpenter-builder who is best known in the Nephi area for his design of the Whitmore Mansion (National Register 1978). Nephi is a rural agricultural area some eighty miles south of Salt Lake City. / Booth&#39;s background remains obscure, but it seems likely that he lacked formal architectural training and acquired his working knowledge of Victorian design through actual house building experience and from the numerous house pattern-books which dominated the trade during this period. It is reported that he worked during the 1880s and 1890s in Nephi (the Whitmore Mansion was not completed until 1898) and is responsible for many of the fine Victorian homes found there. In the 1890s, oral sources indicate that he worked on several homes in the Avenues area of Salt Lake City. The Arthur O. Clark House at 1059 East 3rd Avenue (National Register, Avenues Historic District, Salt Lake City 1980), built in 1895, is a mirror-image copy of the Booth house. The similarities between the two houses are striking and point out an important but often overlooked aspect of Victorian architecture, namely the persistence at the vernacular level of a traditional design process built around the interplay between particular house "types," identified by their basic floorplan and massing, and various configurations of exterior stylistic trim. The Clark and Booth houses are at once the same and different, they share a common plan but differ in external details. The continued identification, recording, and study of such dwellings will, in the future, make a significant contribution to the general understanding of architecture in Utah during the later nineteenth-century.</p><br>
<p>The Red Cloud United States Post Office, at 300 N. Webster in Red Cloud, Nebraska, was built in 1941 in Moderne style.</p><br>
<p>It includes three panels of mural artwork, painted on canvas by artist Archie Musick.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as USA Post Office-Red Cloud. The listing included the building and three contributing objects.</p><br>
<p>The David Fisher House, at 124 E. 400 South in Heber City, Utah, was built in 1892 in Queen Anne style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story brick house, "one of only a handful of Victorian Houses remaining in Wasatch County."</p><br>
<p>It was built by David Fisher, born in 1852 in Scotland, who lived in the house until his death in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The Schneitter Hotel, at 700 N. Homestead Dr. in Midway, Utah, was built around 1886. Also known as Virginia House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story central passage plan house with brick walls on a stone foundation, and is the only example of Federal style in the area.</p><br>
<p>It was built as the guest house and principal building of Schneitters Hot Pot Resort, which later became the Homestead Resort. This "was one of the two most successful and long-lived of the several bathing resorts developed in the Midway area in the nineteenth century to take advantage of the natural hot springs, many of which are surrounded by large, conical mineral deposits, or pots.&#39; The Schneitter Hotel is one of the few remaining historic buildings that represent the recreational industry that was important in the early (and current) economy of the area."</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Stuart House is a single-family home located at 427 Stuart Avenue in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles E. Stuart was born in New York State, and was admitted to the bar there. Shortly thereafter, in 1835, he moved to Kalamazoo and built up an extensive law practice. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1847, and was re-elected twice before moving on to a seat in the United States Senate in 1853. He was the Democratic candidate for governor in 1858, but lost the election to Moses Wisner.</p><br>
<p>At about the same time, Stuart built this house for his personal residence in Kalamazoo; he lived there with his wife and adult children. When the Civil War arose, Stuart raised and equipped the 13th Michigan Infantry, but was forced to resign due to ill health. He continued to practice law for a few years, but lingering health issues forced him to retire. He lived in this house until 1883, when he moved into a smaller house. Stuart died in 1887.</p><br>
<p>When the Stuarts moved in 1883, the house was sold to Samuel Browne, a local horseman. In 1904, it was purchased by Charles Hayes, a local real estate speculator. In 1924, prominent attorney Harry C. Howard purchased the house; Howard lived there until his death in 1946. It was later purchased by a Western Michigan University fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, before being returned to private use.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Charles E. Stuart House is a -story Italian villa, clad with stucco marked to resemble stone. The house is topped with a cupola. The interior contains imported Italian marble fireplaces, mahogany paneled walls, a third floor ballroom, and the first indoor bathroom in Kalamazoo.</p><br>
<p>DeLano Farms is a working educational farm, located at 555 West E Avenue, north of Kalamazoo, Michigan.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William S. DeLano moved to this area from western New York in 1838. He began purchasing farmland in 1843, and by 1854 owned over 100 acres. In 1858, he constructed the house on the property. The farm was prosperous, and by 1880 DeLano had acquired 235 acres. William S. DeLano died in 1901, pand he passed the farm to his youngest son, Orlyn J. DeLano, and his wife Myrtice. Orlyn lived in the house until his death in 1956, and Myrtice DeLano lived there until her own death in 1963. The house greatly deteriorated after her death, and the farmstead was purchased by the Kalamazoo Nature Center in 1968. The buildings were restored and the house opened in 1975 as an historic house museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The William S. DeLano House is a modest, L-plan, Greek Revival house clad with clapboarded. The house sits on a rubblestone foundation, and is constructed using the mortise-and-tenon framing - a technique which was becoming old-fashioned even at the time of construction. The house consists of a two-story block attached to a 1-1/2 story. A recessed porch with square-column supports fronts the wing, covering the main entrance. Greek Revival-style trim includes corner pilasters, a broad architrave and frieze strips, and a heavy classical cornice with returns.</p><br>
<p>The Lexington Herald Building, also known as the Nunn Building, in Lexington, Kentucky, is a 4-story commercial structure designed by Leon K. Frankel of Frankel & Curtis and constructed in 1917 as headquarters of the Lexington Herald. F.

The building&#39;s ornamentation is minimal, and it includes a denticulated cornice above the fourth floor windows and a parapet. There is a gable in the parapet in the front center holds a decorative scroll displaying an "H" . The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>John L. Nunn purchased the Lexington Herald in the 1930s, and the Lexington Herald Building is now more associated with Nunn than with the Herald. The building functioned as office space for various clients until 2006, when it was renovated and expanded as a condominium development.</p><br>
<p>The building address had been 121 North Walnut Street, but Walnut was renamed Martin Luther King Boulevard, and the address is currently 121 N Martin Luther King Blvd.</p><br>

<p>The Charles A. Dalten House, at 270 S. 1st West in Beaver, Utah, was built in 1868. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is notable as "A very early brick residence in Beaver, of which there were several built in Plat A during the late 1860s and 1870s. These homes were all very similar and they may have been built by the same contractor/builder. Andrew Patterson supplied the burned brick and perhaps the lime for this house as he did for several other early homes in Beaver. Though most of these similar brick homes have been altered today, at one time they all displayed two to four windows across the front facade, symmetrically placed on either side of a central door. All these houses were one story tall, with end-wall chimneys and they were finished with a Greek Revival style cornice with paired brackets. In May of 1868, Elder George A. Smith reported:...much improvement is going on at this place; several new burnt-brick houses are going up." ("Manuscript History of the Church, L.D.S, Church Office Library, Salt Lake City, Utah), and it is likely that these similar houses were the ones Elder Smith was speaking of."</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Fairhope, at 396 Fairhope Ave. in Fairhope, Alabama, United States, was built in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

<p>The Desenberg Building is a commercial building located at 251 East Michigan Avenue in Kalamazoo, Michigan, within the Haymarket Historic District. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1885, Bernhard Desenberg planned on building a large commercial block for use as a wholesale grocery. He hired the Chicago firm of Adler & Sullivan (whose principals were Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan) to design the building. Adler & Sullivan had previously designed the 1882 Academy of Music Building in Kalamazoo (now demolished), and may have been recommended to Desenberg by Frederick Bush of the contracting firm Bush & Patterson.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Desenberg Building is a three-story rectangular commercial building with three storefront bays. The building measures approximately 58 feet by 90. The front facade is divided into three horizontal elements: the broad first-floor storefronts, the upper two stories, and the prominent sheet metal cornice running across the top. The upper floors are clad in orange brick. The windows are arranged in three groups of paired windows, with broad piers containing terra cotta bands between the groups.</p><br>
<p>The Alma Crosby House, at 115 E. 1st North in Beaver, Utah, was built in 1867. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a one-and-a-half-story "T"-plan house. It was deemed "significant because of its early date (for Beaver), its nearly unaltered appearance and its construction materials. The home was built by Jonathan Crosby and his son Alma, as Almas residence. The walls are made of mud concrete and adobe brick and it was an early permanent residence by Beaver standards, being built in 1867. / Alma Crosbys daughter Mae (she is 99 years old ) reports that Alma was a farmer and did not have very much time to work on his home, so his father Jonathan helped him a great deal. Jonathan was a carpenter, who made furniture, but he was also able to make the adobe bricks that went into the house. The diaries of Jonathan and his wife Caroline are on microfilm at the office building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints&#39; headquarters in Salt Lake City."</p><br>
<p>The South Street Historic District is a primarily residential historic district located along South Street between Oakland Drive and Westnedge Avenue, along West Lovell Street from Oakland Drive to Pearl Street, and Academy Street East of Oakland in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The portion of the district along South Street was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and the remainder was listed in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kalamazoo was first settled in 1829, and the acreage that makes up the current South Street Historic District was platted in 1839. Most of the first plots were purchased by speculators, but in the later 1840s some modest Greek Revival houses were constructed in the district. In the 1850s and 1860s, the neighborhood rapidly became a fashionable and upscale place to live, and larger and more elegant houses appeared in the district as upper-class citizens moved in. Important local residents who lived in the district in the late 1800s included Allen Potter, the first mayor of Kalamazoo, Frank B. Lay, owner of the Michigan Buggy Company, Oscar K. Buckhout, a local produce wholesaler, and Albert M. Todd, owner of a large peppermint oil distilling company.</p><br>
<p>As the twentieth century progressed, some additional houses were constructed in the rear of what had been through-yards for the larger houses on South Street. In addition, several houses were converted to duplexes or apartments, and a few of the latest structures were built as duplexes. In the later 20th century, the district remained cohesive, as very few buildings were demolished or even significantly altered. The handful of post-1945 infill houses are consistent in scale with the remainder of the neighborhood. Preservation activities have ensured that the neighborhood retains its historic character.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original portion of the South Street Historic District contains twenty-nine 19th- and early 20th-century single-family houses dating from the 1840s to the 1910s. Architectural styles range from Greek Revival and Gothic Revival to Italianate, Queen Anne, Georgian Revival, and English Tudor. many of the houses are large, and most possess considerable architectural merit.</p><br>
<p>The second portion of the district contains 87 single- and two-family houses. These are of the same architectural styles as the original South Street houses, but also include early 20th-century Prairie and Craftsman examples.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Fernley House, at 215 E. 200 North in Beaver, Utah was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story brick house with some element of Gothic Revival styling, built around 1885. A one-story rear extension dates from around 1890.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "architecturally significant for several reasons. First, it remains a well preserved example</p><br>
<p>w of upper-middle class domestic architecture from Beaver&#39;s principal years of</p><br>
<p>x growth, c. 1875–1900. Second, its central passageway plan documents one of</p><br>
<p>several important dwelling types found in 19th century Utah. Finally, the</p><br>
<p>large central cross gable with flanking wall dormers house design is unique to</p><br>
<p>the Beaver-Iron County area of Utah, a design which perhaps can be traced to</p><br>
<p>the work of the Beaver builder-architect, Thomas Frazer.</p><br>
<p>The James Atkin House, at 260 W. 300 North in Beaver, Utah, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story brick house, with high quality brickwork, upon a foundation of squared black rock. Many of the doorways and windows are surmounted by brick voussoirs.</p><br>
<p>It was built for James Atkin in 1911, possibly with Atkin&#39;s help, with brickwork probably by the Scottish mason Alexander Boyter. It was deemed "architecturally significant because it is an example of a style of building that forms the transition between traditional folk building and the more universal styles of the 20th century. Characteristic of this style are: shingle work in the gable, complete returns of the cornice across the gable, a steeply pitched roof, etc."</p><br>
<p>The Bethphage Mission is a historic structure in Axtell, Nebraska. It was established in 1913 for the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church, and it comprises several buildings. Tabor Hall was completed in 1916, followed by Kidron Hall in 1928, Zion Chapel in 1931, and Bethesda Hall in 1951. They were designed in the Swedish National Romantic architectural style, which includes the use of stepped gables. The structure has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 24, 2013.</p><br>
