<p>The Dr. Nathan M. Thomas House is a single-family home located at 613 East Cass Street in Schoolcraft, Michigan. The house is also known as the Underground Railway House, due to its use as a stop in the Underground Railroad. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Nathan M. Thomas was born in 1803 in Mount Pleasant, Ohio, the son of Quaker parents. He studied medicine at the Medical College of Ohio in Cincinnati, graduating in 1828. He opened a practice in Columbiana County, Ohio, then moved to Prairie Ronde Township in Kalamazoo County in 1830, becoming the first physician in the county. He settled in the then-new village of Schoolcraft in about 1833. In 1835 he built the original section of this house near the center of the village, consisting of a doctor&#39;s office in front and a "dwelling room" in the rear. In 1840, Thomas married Pamela S. Brown. To make room for a new family, the Thomases had the house moved backward from the street and added wings on each side of the original section.</p><br>
<p>As the population of Kalamazoo County grew, Dr. Thomas&#39;s practice thrived, and by the time of his marriage he was beginning to invest money in land. This business proved more lucrative than medicine, and by 1853, Thomas had discontinued his practice to concentrate on his real estate holdings.</p><br>
<p>The Thomases lived in the house until 1867 or 1868, when they had a new house constructed. The 1835 frame house was moved from its original location near the center of town to the current location on Cass Street to make way for the new house. The Thomases constructed a three-story brick Italianate home on the original lot, and lived there the remainder of their lives. Nathan M. Thomas died in 1887; Pamela S. Thomas died in 1909.</p><br>
<p>At some point one of the 1840 wings was removed. In 1975, the Schoolcraft Bicentennial Committee purchased the house, and the Schoolcraft Historical Society was organized to oversee restoration. The Society raised funds to restore the house to its appearance in the 1840s, including replacing the demolished wing.</p><br>
<h2>Underground Railroad</h2><br>
<p>Nathan Thomas was a staunch abolitionist, and was well known in the community for his views. In fact, the surrounding area in southwest Michigan was home to a large number of Quakers like Thomas, many of whom held similar views. Even before he constructed his house, fugitives from slavery would call on him for assistance. After the Thomas house was enlarged in 1840, Nathan and Pamela Thomas sheltered small groups of fugitives on their way to Detroit. When the Underground Railroad became more organized in 1843, the house became a station on the route, with escaped slaves moving from Cass County to the Thomas House and on to Battle Creek. Between 1840 and 1860, the Thomases helped over a thousand fugitive slaves on their way to freedom.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas house is a single-story rectangular Greek Revival house with Federal-style elements.

The wings are 12-1/2 feet wide and 42 feet deep.</p><br>
<p>The James Heber Dean House, at 390 W. 500 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 described positively, in 1979, by L.L. Bonar in its Utah State Historical Society review:This home was built in 1911 and its style was definitely influenced by high style architecture rather than the local vernacular. It has a cruciform plan with the front facade in one of the long ends of the cross. All four ends have a gable and each is decorated with a full return cornice and fancy shinglework. On the front facade, the corners of the building have been bevelled, a trait common in some of the Victorian styles of architecture but quite rare in Beaver. At the top of each of these bevelled corners are decorative wooden elements that complete the cut-off corner. This woodwork is the most decorative of any found on the house and it is quite well done. Also for decorative effect are the voussoir/pendant motifs above the windows and doors done in brick. The home is well maintained and the grounds are lovely.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s brickwork was done by mason Bill Pierson; stone foundation was laid by Jack Frazer.</p><br>
<p>The Ancil Twitchell House, at 100 S. 200 East in Beaver, Utah was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

It has elements of Greek Revival in its decoration, including in the wooden pediments above windows and the front door, and in the cornice along the eaves. A one-story brick extension to the rear was added c.1909-11.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "significant because it helps to document the pervasive nature of this house form, a house considered by local residents an symbol of prosperity and achievement."</p><br>
<p>The Peter B. Appeldorn House is a single-family home located at 532 Village Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1850s, Ryer Appeldorn, a Dutch shoemaker, emigrated from Holland and settled in Kalamazoo. He established a successful tannery and shoe shop in the area, and his sons carried on the business. One of Ryer&#39;s sons, Peter B. Appeldorn, purchased this lot in 1894. He had this house built for his family in 1895. The Appeldorns lived in the house until World War II.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Peter B. Appeldorn House is a two-story frame Queen Anne structure. It is built in an L-plan, with a small open porch, having Colonial Revival posts and balustrade, located in the angle of the ell. The facade contains a projecting jerkinhead front gable section on one side, visually balanced by small porch and its steeply pitched roof.

<p>The Higgins Block, also known as the Fayette Cigar Store, in Lexington, Kentucky, is a 3-story brick building designed by John McMurtry and constructed in 1872. The cast iron, Italianate facade originally contained five storefronts on West Main Street, each with three window bays. The surviving 2-storefront building is a remnant of the original commercial block, shortened in 1912 when construction of the Fayette National Bank Building required demolition of part of the Higgins Block. The remains of the Higgins Block were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>A public auction of the east 18-foot exposure of the Higgins Block was held in 1900 to divide the estate of the Higgins family, and the sale may have helped to preserve what is left of the building.</p><br>
<p>John Allen Higgins (1831–1880) was a planter who owned a farm near Lexington and a plantation in Arkansas. He was a son of Joel Higgins (1802–1859) and lived at Lexington&#39;s Higgins Mansion (1837–2017) until his death.</p><br>
<p>The William Moyes Jr. House, at 395 N. 100 West in Beaver, Utah, was built around 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a brick house with vernacular architecture, and was built originally with a hall and parlor plan. A rear T-shaped extension was added during 1910–20. Its front facade has symmetry: two windows, the front door, two windows, with decorative brick arches above each. It has decorative shingles in the gable ends and a cornice with a full return.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "significant because of its historic date and its unimpaired historic integrity. Its design is interesting because it is representative of a style of architecture that provided a transition between traditional vernacular styles and the more universal styles of architecture that became popular in the 20th Century. The shingled gables, the complete return cornice, the Jerkin head, etc. are all examples of characteristics common to this more progressive style of architecture. The hall andparlor plan with the bilateral symmetry of the front facade harken back to the more traditional styles."</p><br>

<p>The Faber House is a historic building in Hampstead Village in Charleston, South Carolina that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name of the Faber House refers both to Henry F. Faber, who started the construction of the house, as well as his brother Joseph W. Faber, who finished the house. The brothers had jointly bought an entire block with the plans of splitting the land and building two houses for themselves. The Faber House—on the half of the block to be used by Henry Faber—had not been completed when he died in 1839, and his widow sold it to her brother-in-law, Joseph W. Faber.</p><br>
<p>The house had fallen into serious disrepair by the 1960s. In 1964, a municipal low-income housing project was slated for the site and the surrounding area; the house would have been demolished and replaced with several dozen housing units. The housing would have especially been used to relocate families that had been displaced by the construction of I-26 through the peninsula. A proposal to relocate the headquarters of the State Ports Authority to the house was rejected in October 1965; among other concerns, the SPA would have to have built additional offices on the rear of the property. The Historic Charleston Foundation acquired the house to restore it and hold until a preservation-minded buyer could be found. The Foundation hired Herbert DaCosta, Jr. to perform a partial restoration of some features and a stabilization of the house. The repair work began in February 1966.</p><br>
<p>On the night of June 23, 1969, the house suffered fire damage when a street flare was taken from a nearby road construction project and thrown through a first floor window; Charleston was experiencing widespread civil unrest at the time with racial protests occurring at several locations and several reports of vandalism.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Ravenel Co., a real estate firm, bought the house and its one-acre lot in 1971 from the Historic Charleston Foundation with plans to restore the house, use the ground floor as offices, convert the upper floors to two apartments, and convert the detached dependencies to residences too.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Faber House exemplifies Palladian design. A notable feature is the two-story portico with four Ionic columns set on a 15-foot ground floor with arches. Atop the house is a cupola with a finial; the original finial was struck by lightning in 1973 but replicated.</p><br>

<p>Sarah Ann Daft (1828-1906) and her husband, E.J. Daft, immigrated to Utah from England in 1856. After E.J. Daft died in 1881, Mrs. Daft became active in business, owning real estate and investing in securities and mining interests. She commissioned the Daft Block in 1887.</p><br>
<p>The Douglas General Mercantile, at 100 Main St. in Smithfield, Utah, was built in 1883 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story building constructed of rubble stone, brick, coursed sandstone, and wood. It is 35x65 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination describes its importance:Built in 1883, the Douglas General Mercantile Store is locally significant as the oldest remaining commercial building in the town of Smithfield, Cache County, Utah. The town was founded in October 1859 as part of Cache Valley, which was itself settled in 1856 during the first stage of the Mormon colonization of Utah. William Douglas, who operated the store, began business in Smithfield in 1865, obtaining goods from the East and wholesaling them throughout the area. In 1883, when the building was constructed, it was one of only three such establishments in the town, and remains as the only physical structure tied to Smithfields early commercial history. The building has been associated with the commercial activity in the town through the firms of Douglas Mercantile, James Cantwell & Son, and the Union Merc Company since 1883. In addition, the building is the second oldest mercantile building identified to date that is located outside Utahs heavily populated area known as the Wasatch Front, which comprises four of Utah&#39;s twenty-nine counties. The oldest building is the Ephraim United Order Cooperative Building constructed in 1871. Also, the building gains added importance in the history of Smithfield because of its unique construction, the only one of its type in the town. Stone was used for the rear and two side walls in a rubble construction technique, while brick was utilized on the upper half of the facade and coursed sandstone for the lower half. Thus, the building represents the use of four different building materials as wood was also utilized.</p><br>
<p>In 1980 it was owned by the American Legion Dept. of Utah, and had signage for being the Earl S. Harper Post 58 of the American Legion.</p><br>
<p>The James Gardner House, at 173 N. Main St. in Mendon, Utah, United States, was built in 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story hall and parlor plan house built of local sandstone. It may have been built by Robert Crookston, a Cache Valley stonemason. It was extended to the rear in 1948 by a lean-to addition.</p><br>
<p>It was built for James Garder, who was born in England in 1826 and immigrated with his wife and children in 1860. Gardner moved to Idaho in 1885.</p><br>
<p>The Hector C. Haight House, at 208 N. Main St. in Farmington, Utah, was built in 1857. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It has also been known as the Union Hotel.</p><br>
<p>It was built around 1857 as a two-story adobe "double cell" house, facing west, with adobe walls that are 18 in thick. It was the home of Hector C. Haight and his family and was probably built by him. Around 1870, a two-story rear wing was added, with a two-story porch facing south. Around that time, Haight began operating part of the building as the Union Hotel. The front porch of the original portion and the south-facing porch were removed at some date(s), but were rebuilt in 1984.</p><br>
<p>In 1984, it was deemed "architecturally significant as one of a very limited number of two story double cell houses in Utah. Because the state survey is not complete, it is impossible to conclusively state how many houses of this type are extant, but the double cell in its one story form was not a popular traditional house type in the early days of settlement. Two story examples of the type are even less common. The house is also historically significant as the oldest remaining hotel in Farmington, as one of the few remaining houses in Utah that were built during the 1850s, and for its association with Hector C. Haight, the father of Farmington."</p><br>
<p>The Ebenezer Beesley House in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a 2-story adobe brick and stucco Vernacular house constructed in the 19th century. The house is one of only a few I-form adobe structures remaining in the city, and it includes minimal ornamentation. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Ebenezer Beesley (14 December 1840 – 21 March 1906) was a pioneer who immigrated to Utah from England in 1859, joining George Rowley&#39;s Morman handcart company at Florence, Nebraska, in June of that year and arriving at Salt Lake City in September. A gifted composer and musician, Beesley conducted the Mormon Tabernacle Choir 1880–1890, and he founded Beesley Music Company in 1903. At the time of his death in 1906, Beesley was survived by 11 of his 16 children, 40 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.</p><br>

<p>"The Eccles Mansion is built of brick with white stone trim and a cut coursed stone foundation. The front facade is accentuated by two round towers or turrets, one at each of the front corners. Several dormers with fancy classical facades punctuate the massive hip roof. A Neo-Classical Revival porch wraps around two sides of the front of the home. Within the triangular porch pediment is a foliated inscription with the letters "D. E." for David Eccles, The sprawling plan is basically rectangular but includes two wings and two prominent bay windows which give variety to the basic form."</p><br>
<p>"Most detailing is Neo-Classical Revival and includes Ionic columns and a classical porch entablature and pediment, quoins about the door and window bays, brackets and dentils under the cornice, classical facades and pilasters in the dormers. The towers are shingled on the upper portions and have bell shaped cupolas or roofs and generally reflect Queen Anne or perhaps Chateauesque origins. There are 19 leaded, cut glass windows in the building."</p><br>

<p>The Kearns Building is a historic office building in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 10-story building was designed by Los Angeles architects John Parkinson and George Bergstrom and constructed 1909–1911. Parkinson & Bergstrom borrowed the style of architect Louis Sullivan, and the Kearns Building has been described as Sullivanesque, with a steel reinforced concrete frame and a white terracotta tile facade emphasizing vertical piers below a prominent cornice. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The style of a Louis Sullivan skyscraper was built on classical form, with prominent window and door openings at street level, bands of windows between vertical piers, and a distinctive, highly decorated cornice. Often Sullivan designed porthole windows under a cornice. Parkinson & Bergstrom used centered medallions between spandrels recessed behind the plane of piers to achieve a similar appearance.</p><br>
<p>The Kearns Building was named for Thomas Kearns, a wealthy former Utah senator and major stockholder in The Salt Lake Tribune. During construction of the building, Kearns was accused of manipulating the city council and its building code.</p><br>
<p>A third of office space in the building was rented prior to opening in February, 1911, and most of the offices were rented by April of that year. Early tenants of the building included clothiers Gardner & Adams Co. and Rowe & Kelly, and the building included what was billed as "the most beautiful buffet in the United States," the Mecca.</p><br>
<p>The Alfred Lindorff House, at 40 Sampson Ave. in Park City, Utah, was built around 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "architecturally significant as one of two well preserved examples of a Park City house with a distinct L-plan by addition. This type of addition does not appear to have been common in Park City building, and less than five examples of the type are extant. As opposed to the T/L cottage and the T/L cottage by addition, which viewed from the facade have relatively short cross-wings and longer stem-wings, the L-plan by addition house has a distinctive L-plan consisting of two wings of almost equal length that intersect at right angles. A difference in the window types of the two wings indicates that this house was not built with an original L-plan, but instead is the result of the expansion of a small house by the addition of a cross-wing to the front of one end of the original facade. Although an uncommon type, the L-plan by addition is significant because it is a variant of the common modification of adding a cross-wing to an existing house as a solution to the problem of inadequate space in the tiny mining town cottage."</p><br>
<p>It was probably the home of Alfred Lindorff, who was born in Denmark in 1863 and immigrated with his wife Mary in 1890.</p><br>
<p>The Sarah Daft Home for the Aged in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a Colonial Revival building designed by William H. Lepper and constructed in 1914.

The home is regarded as the first of its kind in Utah, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>In 1911 the Sara Daft Home Association was formed to secure release of funding from the trustees of the Sara Daft estate, and in 1912 the association leased a house near the corner of 3rd Avenue and Q Street. The first resident of the home was Margaret Tileston, a Civil War nurse who received a commendation from President Lincoln. Tileston also became the first resident to die at the home.</p><br>
<p>In 1913 workers placed the cornerstone at the home&#39;s permanent location, and the Sarah Daft Home opened in 1914. Originally the home provided space for 22 residents, and later expansions allowed for 39 residents.</p><br>
<p>Bronson Park Historic District is a historic district in Kalamazoo, Michigan, consisting of Bronson Park and the surrounding government, religious, and civic buildings. It is roughly bounded by South Rose, South Park, West Lovell, and West Michigan Avenues. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area around Bronson Park was platted by Kalamazoos founder, Titus Bronson, in 1831. Bronson Park itself, then divided in two by Church Street, was donated by Bronson to the city, with the indication that half was to be used as a "jail square" and the other half as an "academy square." The squares directly to the north were designated as "church square" and "courthouse square." For some time, the four squares served their intended purpose, as churches were constructed, Kalamazoo became the county seat, Kalamazoos first jail was built on jail square, and a branch of the University of Michigan was opened on academy square. However, within a couple of decades, the jail and academy were moved and Church Street was vacated to join the two squares. For many years, what is now Bronson Park remained unimproved cow pasture.</p><br>
<p>In 1876, the previously unnamed land was renamed "Bronson Park," and the area was landscaped, with a fountain placed in the park center. As Kalamazoo grew, the park and the neighboring courthouse and church squares remained the civic heart of the city. The first courthouse, constructed in 1837, was built on courthouse square, as were subsequent 1885 and 1935-37 buildings. Churches constructed in the district include the First Methodist church (dating from 1833), the First Congregational (1835), First Baptist (1836), St. Luke&#39;s Episcopal (1837), First Presbyterian (1849), First Reformed (1850), and the First Church of Christ, Scientist. The district also includes the Ladies Library Association Building, built in 1878, the YWCA Building, the 1931 Kalamazoo City Hall and the 1938 Federal Building.</p><br>
