<p>St. Michael&#39;s Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church in Tarnov, Nebraska, within the Archdiocese of Omaha. It is noted for its historic church, located at 309 3rd Street and completed in 1901, and its adjacent cemetery, platted in 1880.</p><br>
<p>Polish immigrants arrived in the area in the late 1870s, and petitioned the bishop for a church in 1880, preceding the establishment of the town. Planning for a new church began in December 1899 under Fr. A. Czech, O.F.M., on land donated by Frank and Sophia Paprocki, originally of Tarnov, Poland (then part of Austrian Galicia).</p><br>
<p>The new church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by another Franciscan, Br, Leonard Dorschied, O.F.M. Construction began in 1900 and was completed in 1901. The cost of $17,000 had been held down by the contribution of unskilled labor by parishioners, as well as through the use of brick and lumber from the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha, delivered by train. Limestone for the foundation was transported from a quarry near Florence, Kansas, and sand was brought in from the Loup River, 20 miles to the south.</p><br>
<p>The new church has a 110 ft tall tower and steeple, with two bells weighing 600 lb and 1,000 lb.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 1910, the parish constructed a new rectory, school-convent, and chicken house. The school remained in operation until 1961. The church has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 28, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The complex includes a grotto built in 1926-27 designed by Charles Wurdeman.</p><br>
<p>The Salt Lake Stock and Mining Exchange Building in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a 2-story Classical Revival building designed by John C. Craig and constructed in 1909. The sandstone, brick, and cement building includes four large Ionic columns supporting a pediment above a denticulated cornice, and the pedimental imagery is reflected in lintels above the six central door and window fenestrations. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is also a contributing resource in the Exchange Place Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Salt Lake Stock and Mining Exchange Building was constructed on a site donated by Samuel Newhouse in 1908. Newhouse intended to develop a major financial center that would rival other exchanges in larger cities, and some members of the Salt Lake financial community did not support a shift from the 19th century roots of the exchange. During construction of the new exchange building, a competing exchange was organized and operated briefly in the Atlas Block (demolished) under the name, Utah Stock and Mining Exchange. The Salt Lake Stock and Mining Exchange occupied its new building from 1909 until the exchange became defunct in 1986. In 1972 the exchange was renamed the Intermountain Stock Exchange.</p><br>
<p>The Vine Area Historic District is a primarily residential historic district, roughly bounded by South Rose, South Westnedge, West Walnut, and Ranney Strets in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1840s, what is now the Vine Area Historic District was part of a large farm owned by Michigan governor Epaphroditus Ransom. Ransom sold this tract of land to Paulus DenBleyker, a recently arrived Dutch immigrant, in the early 1850s. DenBleyker platted the land into streets and lots, many of which he sold to his fellow Dutch immigrants. In the 1860s and 70s, the neighborhood became the home of middle-class merchants and professionals. It remained thinly settled until the 1880s, when a street railway line was built into the area. Development jumped in the late 1880s, 1890s, and early 1900s, and by 1920 the neighborhood was essentially built out.</p><br>
<p>Significant early residents of the neighborhood include pioneer druggist James P. Clapham, furniture dealer Edwin A. Carder, brickmaker R. Dexter Walker, and lawyer and politician William M. Stearns. In later year,s many of the houses were turned into rental units or split into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Vine Area Historic District contains 175 structures, covering six or seven square blocks of tree-lined streets. The great majority of the structures are single-family homes, with only five non-residential structures, including the Grace Christian Reformed Church and the large, Neo-Tudor-style Old Central High School. The district contains a high concentration of Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival houses.</p><br>
<p>The David Lilienfeld House was built as a single-family home located at 447 West South Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>David L. Lilienfeld was born in 1836 in Hanover, Germany. He arrived in Kalamazoo In 1859 and started cigar making and wholesale liquor businesses with his brother William. He became a prominent member of the Kalamazoo business community. In 1867, Lilienfeld purchased a lot and small home on this site for his family. In 1878, he moved the previous house to another lot and built the current structure to replace the earlier house. Lilienfeld lived there until his death in 1899.</p><br>
<p>The house was owned by a number of owners for the next few decades, until 1932 when John Donovan began leasing it for use as a funeral parlor. At some point the original square tower fronting the house was removed. It remained a funeral home until 1985, when Louis and Annette Conti purchased the home, saving it from planned demolition and carefully restoring it. They turned it into an inn and restaurant, adding a commercial kitchen in the 1990s, before having financial difficulties. The house was vacant for a time in the early 2000s, and was further restored and opened as a bed & breakfast in 2007.</p><br>

<p>The J. Schmuck Block is a historic three-story commercial and residential building in Beatrice, Nebraska, United States. It was built in 1887 for John Schmuck, a German immigrant and cobbler, who used the basement as a tavern and rented the first floor to dry goods stores and the second floor to tenants. The Beatrice Morning Sun had its offices here for more than four decades. The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 2, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The three-story structure in Beatrice, Nebraska, was built in 1887 with bricks, a limestone foundation, and an asphalt-and-slate roof, for John Schmuck, an immigrant from Germany, and his wife Anna. Schmuck was born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1834. He was trained as a cobbler like his father, and he emigrated to the United States in 1854. He lived in New York, Illinois, and Tennessee before moving to Beatrice around 1873, where he became a professional cobbler. He purchased the plot of land in 1883 and only built the structure four years later, once he was retired.</p><br>
<p>Schmuck lived on the third floor until 1916 (although he died in an insane asylum in Hastings in August of that year at the age of 84), and his widow Anna until 1917. The Schmucks rented the first and second floors of the building to businesses and tenants. Dry goods stores on the first floor included Jones and Smith Dry Goods Store and the C. E. Smith and Son Dry Goods Store. In 1905, one of the tenants, R. A. Swift, who had served in the American Civil War, was found dead in his room on the second floor. In 1908, Judge Walden rented an office in the building. The basement was used as a tavern, with a side entrance.</p><br>
<p>From 1918 to 1963, the building belonged to E. M. Marvin, who used it as the offices of his local newspaper, the Beatrice Morning Sun. Marvin, who was both the publisher and editor, moved the printing presses to the basement, and the rest of the building was used by his journalistic staff. When the building was acquired by a lawyer in the 1960s, the couple removed the stained glass on the second floor and took it to another house they owned. The building was purchased and restored by another couple in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed in the eclectic High Victorian Gothic architectural style, with a Second Empire roof, Gothic Revival windows, and Queen Anne wall trims. Jill E. Dolberg of the Nebraska State Historical Society said, "In many ways, this commercial building is unique for Nebraska commercial architecture. Most commercial architecture of this era in Nebraska is far more austere, perhaps displaying some decorative brickwork or round arches. An effusive facade such as this one is a rarity indeed."</p><br>
<p>The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 2, 2008.</p><br>
<p>Felt Electric, at 165 S. Regent St. in Salt Lake City, Utah, was built in 1893. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>According to historian John McCormick,This building is significant as one of three remaining buildings that once were houses of prostitution on the street that was Salt Lake City&#39;s red-light district from about 1880 until the late 1930s. As such, it is deeply woven into the fabric of the community and documents much about the social and political history of Salt Lake. / The building was constructed in 1893 for Gustave S. Holmes. A prominent Salt Lake City businessman, he owned the fashionable Knutsford Hotel, was a director of the National Bank of the Republic, had extensive mining interests, and in 1909 was reported to be the 5th or 6th largest taxpayer in Salt Lake County. From the time it was built until at least the late teens the upper floor of the building housed a brothel, while a legitimate business, the Leader Cigar factory, occupied the ground floor.</p><br>

<p>The Silas W. Kendall House was built as a single-family home, located at 7540 Stadium Drive in Oshtemo Township, near Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. As of 2019, it houses an architectural business.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Homer S. Kendall was born in 1800 in Berkshire, Vermont, and moved to this part of Kalamazoo County in 1856. He purchased an 80-acre tract of land the section where this house is located was the first of the family to settle on this land, and settled here with his wife, Beulah Scott Kendall, and five children. Homer Kendall built a house for his family near here and began farming. One of his children was Silas W. Kendall, who was born in 1846 and moved with his parents. In 1873, Silas married Lucy S. Drummond, the daughter of a nearby farmer. Documents suggest that Silas constructed this house in 1878 in his fathers land, but the exact construction date is uncertain. In any case, by the time of Homer Kendalls death in 1891, Silas was well-established, and inherited the 80 acres previously owned by his father. Both Silas and Lucy Kendall lived here until their deaths: his in 1925 and hers in 1940. After 1940, their only child, E. Vernon Kendall, inherited the property. He farmed and lived here for his entire life, until 1968. The property suffered neglect for years after that, but was purchased and refurbished in 1990 to house a small business and an upstairs rental unit.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Silas W. Kendall House is a two-story, gabled-ell former farmhouse covered with clapboard. It has broadly overhanging eaves with plain raking cornices, plain corner boards, and simple frieze boards. The windows are primarily narrow, double-hung, single-light, sash type units. A slant-roof porch, with Queen-Anne-style lathe-turned support posts fits in the angle between the upright and wing in front. The porch contains two entrances: one into the former living room in the wing and one into the former front parlor in the upright. A second porch is located on one side of the house. A one-and-one-half-story rear ell is likely original to the house.</p><br>
<p>The Cove Street Historic District encompasses a small 19th-century neighborhood area of Duxbury, Massachusetts. Located along Cove Street north of the town center, it was developed in the early 19th century to provide housing for workers in nearby shipyards. The architecture of the district includes a variety of single-family housing styles common to the region and time period. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Cove Street is a continuation of Washington Street, the north–south route that traverses the town center of Duxbury. Originally laid out as a cart path leading to hayfields, it crosses the start of the Powder Point peninsula, which extends into Duxbury Bay between the Duck Hill and Blue Fish Rivers. The historic district extends for most of its length, from Washington Street in the south to Old Cove Road in the north. All of the principal buildings in the district are single-family wood-frame structures, built (or remodeled) in 19th-century styles, except for two Colonial Revival houses dating to the 1920s. Of the twelve houses, six are Federal in style and three are Greek Revival, while one is Italianate.</p><br>
<p>The area started out rural, but shipbuilding began to develop as an industry on the Blue Fish River as early as 1764. Between then and the early decades of the 19th century, shipyards arose on both nearby rivers. A bridge was built across the Blue Fish River in 1803, spurring residential development on Cove Street. By then, the area consisted of estate holdings of two shipyard owners (separated by Cove Street), who proceeded to subdivide their properties for residential development. The area declined in the second half of the 19th century, as the town&#39;s shipyards also declined.</p><br>
<p>Vashon Hardware Store, now known as The Hardware Store Restaurant, is a commercial building in Vashon, Washington. Built in 1890, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>

The smaller building measures 16x40 ft. The side-by-side buildings were constructed around 1890. Internal connections between the two buildings were added in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frank Gorsuch built the original structure and operated it as a general store. It was the fourth store on the Island and the first in the Town of Vashon. In 1913, the business was sold to Fred and Henry Weiss who named it Weiss Bros. General Merchandise. The building was renamed Vashon Hardware Store in 1929 when it was purchased by George McCormick and C. G. Kimmel.</p><br>
<p>After years as a retail store run by members of the McCormick family, it was reopened as a restaurant in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Hill Cemetery is a cemetery in Lawrence, Kansas. It was first constructed as a way for the people of Lawrence to remember those who were killed in Quantrill&#39;s Raid.

The American Craftsman house is a two-story 40x57 ft wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation, surrounded on three sides by a concrete walkway. A separate garage is believed to have been one of the first automobile garages on the island. (Steen was the first on the island to order an automobile, but his delivery was delayed.)</p><br>
<p>The house has two bay windows and a two-story bay. The west side of the house originally had a river rock chimney, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1965 and replaced with a brick masonry chimney. The wide porch rests on river rock piers.</p><br>
<p>Inside the house, the stair landing is illuminated by three large stained glass windows. The house has five rooms on both the first and second floors, with four additional rooms in the basement. The kitchen has been remodeled, but most of the interior is intact, including the original hot water heater and radiators. The sandstone fireplace was replaced along with the chimney after the 1965 earthquake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Helmar (or Hilmar) and Selma Steen moved to Vashon Island from Norway. Steen operated a mill north of Vashon from 1900 to 1907. After building the house on Cove Road in 1911, he also built a small logging railroad and mill. The mill supplied electricity for the house,</p><br>
<p>The Steens moved to Seattle in 1923, and the house was owned by a succession of families. Around 2000, it was operated as a bed-and-breakfast with an adjacent ostrich farm. Current ownership and use is unknown.</p><br>
<p>The Grove Court Apartments in Montgomery, Alabama is an apartment complex built in 1947. Though it won an award for its design, it was abandoned in the 1990s and has been derelict since. Since 2013, it is listed as a historical site in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Montgomery County, Alabama.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Grove Court Apartments are located at 559 South Court Street, previously owned by Newton Joseph Bell II. Bell was born in North Carolina in 1848. In 1851 his family moved to Alabama, where he grew up and farmed on the family plantation. He married Maria Ella Whitely and moved to Lowndes County. Bell then rented a farm in Lowndes County and opened a retail business. He later purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land. In 1881 he moved his family to the home he built on South Court Street, which would become the location of the Grove Court Apartments. Bell remained there until his death in 1910.</p><br>
<h2>Background and planning</h2><br>
<p>After World War II and the Great Depression there was not enough housing to accommodate over ten million servicemen returning from the war. The government secured loans to reduce the housing crisis. The Federal Housing Agency guaranteed ninety percent of the loan if builders would agree to the Federal Housing Agency specifications.</p><br>
<p>After four houses were demolished on South Court Street, Carl W. Bear and Bear Brothers construction began building the Grove Court Apartments. In 1948 Carl W. Bear and Virginia O. Bear purchased Grove Court Apartments for $10.00 and other valuable goods. The builders agreed to work with the Federal Housing Agency to build Grove Court Apartments. The land was measured 211 by 287 feet. The apartment complex consisted of fifty-four one-bed room units and twenty-seven two-bedroom units, including parking on the street.</p><br>
<p>The Grove Court Apartments were designed by the Pearson, Tittle, and Narrow architectural firm in 1947 and built in the same year by the Bear Brothers construction company. The architectural style of Grove Court Apartments earned Clyde Pearson outstanding recognition in the field of design. Clyde Pearson was advanced to the highest class of membership in the American Institute of Architects. The Pearson, Tittle and Narrow architectural firm was nationally recognized in the Progressive Architecture magazine and the American Institute of Architecture magazine in 1947.</p><br>
<h2>Description and layout</h2><br>
<p>The units were accessible through the outside staircases. There were no inside staircases or shared hallways. The apartments were designed with an upstairs laundry room that employed an attendant. The building was designed with a flat top roof and an outside covered play area for children. The bedrooms were ten-by-twelve foot.

<h2>1970s-present: abandonment, current condition</h2><br>
<p>Since the 1970s and the 1980s Grove Court Apartments has deteriorated. Five property owners that live near the apartment complex signed a letter stating that trash was in the abandoned building and people were living in the building. In 2013 Grove Court Apartments was placed on the National Register of Historic places. The Grove Court Apartments are currently on the market to be sold. The Abraham Brothers has owned the property since 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Bertolini Block, at 143 1/2 W. 200 South in Salt Lake City, Utah, was built in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick building whose three store spaces on its main floor long served ethnic minority businesses. It was designed by architect William Carroll, previously of Provo. It was built at cost of $5,000 for Ignazio Bertolini, an Italian-American real estate developer in Salt Lake City in the early 1890s.</p><br>
<p>Estate Botany Bay, near Charlotte Amalie on Saint Thomas in the USA Virgin Islands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>It has the ruins of a sugar cane factory built probably around 1800, and outbuildings, on a bluff above Botany Bay. It has "unusual fortress-like massing, fine proportions and dramatic siting", and is one of few sugar cane factories surviving on St. Thomas.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story 75x30 ft structure, with a 18x32 ft one-story central projection. It is built of red ballast brick, rubble masonry and local brain coral, with walls 3 ft thick. Indications are that it was originally stuccoed and had a timber frame and a gabled roof.</p><br>
<p>The first documented transaction for it was on January 17, 1810, when, after James Murphys death, Elizabeth Murphy deeded it to William Punnett and Edward C. Murphy. Estate and debt sales followed in 1814, 1816 and 1818, and in 1827 it was sold, along with neighboring Fortuna by William Punnett to William Ackers Esq., an attorney of the Liverpool firm of Falkner and Mandsley, towards liquidating Punnetts debts. The sale included 29 male slaves, 22 women, 10 boys, and eight girls, as well as livestock of 23 mules, eight asses, and 15 horned cattle. The lot was then immediately sold by Ackens to Robert Flemming Esq. of St. Thomas for $36,000. It was later sold in 1878 for just $900 (~$ in ), reflecting deterioration.</p><br>
<p>It is located in the west-end quarter of Charlotte Amalie, and is in fact at the farthest point west on the island.</p><br>

<p>The Rickman House is an apartment building located at 345 North Burdick in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was formerly a hotel known as the Rickman Hotel. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>George Rickman, Sr. arrived in Kalamazoo in 1872 to be the superintendent of construction at the Kalamazoo State Hospital. IN 1884, he formed his own company known as Rickman & Sons, which specialized in the construction of houses. Four of Rickmans seven sons eventually joined him, an in 1900 the firms name was changed to Rickman Brothers, presumably due to the death of Rickman senior. In 1905, the firm purchased this plot of land directly across the street from the Michigan Central Railroad Station with the intention of constructing a hotel. In 1907, they hired Jackson, Michigan architect Claire Allen to design the building, and began construction of the hotel. Construction lasted 12 months, and the hotel opened in May 1908.</p><br>
<p>The Rickman Brothers firm owned the hotel for only two years, until 1910, when they declared bankruptcy. After that time, the facility was operated as a hotel under multiple owners and managers. However, as the passenger railroad business slowly died, the buildings location became less optimal for use as a hotel. In the 1960s the Rickman Hotel was renamed and converted into a senior citizens residence. It was then used as a residence for single adults. The building was renovated in the 1980s and renamed the Rickman House. Another major interior renovation was completed in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Rickman House is an eight-story rectangular, steel-frame, Neoclassical former hotel building. It occupies a corner lot, and has two major facades on Kalamazoo Avenue and Burdick. Each primary facade has a tripartite composition, consisting of a two-story rusticated limestone base, a five-story glazed white brick mid-section with corner quoins and square-head double-hung windows, and an attic story with square-head windows sandwiched between two metal cornices. The base section contains two-story window bays with segmental-arched head separated by rusticated piers supporting a dentiled cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Henderson Park-West Main Hill Historic District is a primarily residential historic district roughly bounded by West Main, Thompson, Academy, Monroe, West Lovell and Valley Streets and Prairie Avenue in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1850s, much of the land in the current district was owned by farmer James Taylor. Taylor apparently platted part of it in 1852, but there was little development, as the area was uphill and inconvenient to access from Kalamazoo. Taylors daughter eventually married Frank Henderson. Henderson had arrived in Kalamazoo in 1855 and started a saddlery in 1864. In 1874, he began a business making uniform and regalia business, including Masonic regalia, which proved more lucrative than the saddle-making business. In the later 1800s, Kalamazoo grew outwards toward Taylors lands, now owned by Henderson and his wife. By 1888, horse trams were introduced, making the area suddenly more accessible. Henderson decided to replat the area, and hired surveyor Frank Hodgman and civil engineer George S. Pierson to lay out a series of curvilinear streets.</p><br>
<p>In 1890–1894, Henderson built his own "castle," bringing the area to prominence in Kalamazoos society. However, lots in the area were slow to sell until after the turn of the century, when Kalamazoos business boom brought increased pressure on housing. The simultaneous growth of Kalamazoo College and the founding of Western Normal School (now Western Michigan University), both quite near the neighborhood, ensured the success of the area, with the lots substantially filled by the 1920s. Early residents of the area included professors from both Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University, as well as small business owners and other professionals.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Henderson Park-West Main Hill Historic District contains 140 buildings constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The neighborhood is set on curved, tree-lined, hilly streets, with buildings set back from the road. Nearly all of the buildings are single family residences, built for high-status families and primarily in early twentieth-century period revival architectural styles. One school is also in the district, as well as two parks. The houses are of similar scale and style, widely separated from one another.</p><br>
<p>The Monroe School is a historic former school at 215 North 7th Street at the intersection of Monroe Street in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was designed by Norman Foote Marsh in the Neoclassical or Classical Revival style and was an elementary school and then a high school from 1914 to 1972. Later it was a Department of Defense recruiting center until 1988.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Since 2008 the building has been the home of the Children&#39;s Museum of Phoenix.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was built in 1914 at 215 North 7th Street in Phoenix. The three-story brick building, designed by Los Angeles architect Norman Foote Marsh in 1913, was built in the architecture style known as Neoclassical architecture. When the school officially opened in 1914, it was the largest elementary school west of the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the years the building served as an educational institution for thousands of children. Eventually, the urban-renewal projects of the 1960s played a significant part in the resettlement of many families to new areas, causing a decrease in the school&#39;s enrollment. The school closed as an educational institution in 1972.</p><br>
<p>On August 26, 1977, Monroe School was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, reference #77000237. The building was later used as a Department of Defense recruiting center after it went through some remodeling, however, in 1998, the building closed once again.</p><br>
<h2>Children&#39;s Museum of Phoenix</h2><br>
<p>In 1998, a small group of volunteers founded the Phoenix Family Museum. The group found support from the Phoenix Legislature who approved $10.5 million in bond funds to purchase and partially renovate the historic Monroe School. The renovation of the building began in 2006. The school became the new home of the Phoenix Family Museum which was renamed "Children&#39;s Museum of Phoenix" on June 14, 2008, the same day that the museum opened to the public.</p><br>
<p>Inside the museum there were many exhibits and activities which encourage an interaction between parents and children. Included is a whole wall of glittery CDs suspended from the ceiling. Among the activities which both parents and children can participate is what is known as the "Noodle Forest", which consists of a thicket of towering Styrofoam tubes. In 2015, the Childrens Museum of Phoenix was recognized as one of the top three childrens museums in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Manfred and Ethel Martin House, at 163 N. Vernal Ave. in Vernal, Utah, was built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>It is a vernacular Shingle Style house.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "significant as an early health care facility in Vernal. Manfred Martin was an early doctor in Vernal and built this house in 1912 as a family residence with an attached doctors office. He moved to Vernal during a period of growth and prosperity in Vernals history when the demand for more medical facilities increased." He attended patients by horse and buggy.</p><br>
<p>It was also deemed significant architecturally "as the only example in Vernal of a Shingle style house. The Shingle style is uncommon in Utah, and even more so in such isolated communities as Vernal. Although the house has had some minor alterations, it retains its historic and architectural integrity and contributes to the history of Vernal and Uintah County."</p><br>
<p>The Francis Frank and Eunice Smith House, at 1847 N 3000 W in Vernal, Utah was built in 1913–14. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "for its unique architecture and the craftsmanship of the builder and original owner, Frank Smith. The Smith House is architecturally significant as a good representation of Frank Smith&#39;s carpentry and woodworking skills, particularly in the carved wood details and extant wood finish work in the interior. Smith was a local builder and woodworker who assisted in the construction of a large number of buildings in Vernal, Utah, and surrounding communities. His works include more than thirty residences as well as several various civic and religious buildings. The house is one of only two, two-story foursquare-type residences in the area and one of the larger houses in the settled area surrounding the city of Vernal. The foursquare house type is not as common in Utah as in other areas, especially in rural areas such as Vernal, and the Smith House is a unique variation of the type."</p><br>
<p>The Jossie Gut Historic District, in Reef Bay Valley / Reef Bay, Virgin Islands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The listing included two contributing structures and four contributing sites.</p><br>

<p>The Bursum House, at 326 Church St. in Socorro, New Mexico, was built in 1887 by William Watson. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as one of few examples of the ornate Eastlake Style architecture, in fashion in San Francisco and elsewhere in the West, that was built in New Mexico. The house was made of brick while frame construction is most common with this style.</p><br>
<p>It was built for Candelario Garcia, a Socorro County, New Mexico politician and landowner, who served multiple terms in the Territorial legislature between 1855 and 1878.</p><br>
<p>It was later home of Holm O. Bursum (1867-1953), a politician involved in Utah&#39;s quest for statehood, the first Republican candidate for governor of the new state, and an appointed USA Senator.</p><br>
<p>Mays Lick Negro School is a former black school in May&#39;s Lick, Kentucky. The schoolhouse, which dates to the 1920s, has been declared a historic landmark. It was a Rosenwald School.</p><br>
<p>After the American Civil War, the Freemans Bureau was tasked with educating the newly freed black children. The Freemans Bureau opened a school for black children in the May&#39;s Lick community ca. 1868. The location was behind the Second Baptist Church, near US 68 and Nicholas Street. A new schoolhouse was dedicated July 17, 1921. This school was constructed with help of the Rosenwald Fund. The school remained in operation until the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The square brick building with long windows has been added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. As of 2019, fund-raising efforts are being made to restore this building.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination states baldly:Mays Lick Negro School operated as a consolidated school for African Americans in Mason County Kentucky from the year it was built, 1920-1921, until Mason County ceased to segregate education racially, in 1960. It is significant all the years from 1920-1960 in the history of local education for showing the interest of the county&#39;s white citizens in keeping children in school from interacting racially.</p><br>
<p>The spelling of the schools name includes no apostrophe, as the school was termed, and literally labelled, "Mays Lick" not "Mays Lick".</p><br>
<p>The McGrath Cafe and Hotel, also known as The McGrath, is a commercial building in North Bend, Washington. Built in 1922, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The McGrath is a two-story wood-frame and concrete building measuring 60x75 ft with a 30x42 ft addition in the rear. The Spanish eclectic exterior was finished in stucco which was painted an earthy yellow.</p><br>
<p>During its peak years, The McGrath had about 45 rooms, a prominent brick fireplace, a tavern, two cafes, a dining room, a dance floor and a 16-foot-long soda fountain which was popular with local teenagers. A 1923 advertisement told parents "If your daughter or son is dancing at McGrath&#39;s in the evening we want to assure you that they are in as good environment as when at home."</p><br>
<p>In 1938, a new banquet room was added. Jack McGrath added various dramatic signs over the years, and, in 1948, The McGrath boasted a 20-foot-tall neon sign, "North Bends Famous McGraths Cafe", supported by a superstructure on the roof.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jack McGrath immigrated to Seattle from England as an infant in the late 1800s. After years of managing cafes and hotels in various locations, McGrath and his wife Merrill moved to North Bend. After their first cafe at a different location burned down, he decided to rebuild on a site of two vacant lots that he had purchased. McGraths Cafe was built in 1922 on Washingtons first automobile route across the Cascade Mountains, ideal for providing food for travelers. Jack McGrath added a second-floor hotel in 1926 as auto tourism was increasing, "in time for the early spring travelers". Architects for the hotel were B. Dudley Stuart and Arthur Wheatley. McGrath sold the cafe and hotel in 1944; the new owners continued to operate it as the McGrath Cafe and Hotel for the next seven years.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>After several ownership changes over the years, Susan and Dale Sherman bought the hotel and spent 16 months renovating the building, using old photographs for reference. They received the 2002 John D. Spellman Award for Exemplary Achievement in Historic Preservation for their restoration of the McGrath Hotel. The restored building housed Robertiellos Ristorante Italiano, with offices in the old hotel rooms. The building later became Boxleys Jazz Club. In 2014, the owners of Boxley&#39;s Jazz Club donated the building to The Boxley Music Fund, a non-profit 501c3 organization. Today, it is the Iron Duck Public House.</p><br>
<p>The Richland Historic District is a commercial and residential historic district located in the center of Richland, Michigan, containing structures near the intersection of 32nd Street, D Avenue, and Gull Road . The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1830, a group of white settlers arrived to farm the area that was then known as "Gull Prairie". In 1832 and 1833, small settlements were platted to the north and south of what is now Richland. Neither attracted many inhabitants, but instead newcomers settled along the crossroads in between. A small public square at the corner was platted out, and in use as a public gathering place by the mid-1830s. The first church building was constructed in 1834, with the first school building following in 1837, and the settlement served as the center of a primarily agricultural community for many decades.</p><br>
<p>Richland was incorporated in 1871, and in 1883 the Michigan and Ohio Railroad built a line through the village. Richland then served as a small transportation hub for agricultural products, and slowly grew in size through the latter part of the 19th century. However, the expansion of the village took place almost exclusively along the main roads (32nd Street, D Avenue, and Gull Road), maintaining the pattern of streets established in the 1830s. The town center represented by this district was substantially built out by the 1910s, with little later infill.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Richland Historic District is an unplatted agricultural community centered around a village square. The community retains its historic street pattern. Commercial and community buildings are located near the square, with residential structures on the outlying streets. There are 66 structures within the district that contribute to its historic character, the majority of which were built between 1860 and 1900. Nearly all are wood frame structures, and are vernacular representations of local styles. Most of the structures are residential; the district additionally includes two churches, two schools, an Oddfellows Hall, a library, and a bank building. Additional commercial structures in Richland are either modern or significantly altered, and do not contribute to the historic character of the district.</p><br>

<p>The Wisconsin Pavilion is a modernist–style building at 1201 East Division Street in Neillsville, Wisconsin, United States. Designed by John Steinmann, it was erected for the 1964 New York Worlds Fair at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York, serving as the rotunda for the fairs Wisconsin exhibit. It was moved to Wisconsin in 1965, and has since functioned as both a tourist center and as a broadcast studio for radio stations WCCN AM and FM since 1967. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The New York Worlds Fair Corporation had invited the Wisconsin government to host an exhibit at the fair in 1961. Due to political disputes, the Wisconsin Worlds Fair Commission (WFC)—which was tasked with organizing the states worlds fair exhibit—was not established until July 1963. After the WFC was unable to secure funding for the pavilion, two Wisconsin businessmen, Charles Sanders and Clark Prudhon, developed the structure with private funds. The pavilion opened behind schedule in 1964 and operated as a World&#39;s Fair exhibit for two years. Ivan Wilcox, a blacksmith from Boscobel, Wisconsin, bought the rotunda and shipped it back to Wisconsin. Howard Sturtz bought the building in 1966 and reassembled it in Neillsville; the building was rededicated on July 13, 1967. The structure has been owned since the 1970s by the Grap family, who continue to operate the pavilion and radio stations.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion is a twelve-sided structure with six canopies, with a metal roof supported by slanted concrete piers. It is topped with a glass spire with letters spelling out the state&#39;s name. The interior contains offices, broadcast studios, and a gift shop and tourist center. It is surrounded by a landscaped lawn with a sunken rock garden. Located next to it is a fiberglass model of a talking cow named Chatty Belle, which measures 16 ft tall and 20 ft long.</p><br>
<h2>Development</h2><br>
<p>Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York, United States, had hosted the 1939 New York Worlds Fair and was selected in 1959 to host the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. New York City parks commissioner Robert Moses was president of the New York Worlds Fair Corporation, which leased the park from the government of New York City. Meanwhile, the state of Wisconsin had participated in multiple worlds fairs in the USA, beginning with the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. However, the Wisconsin government had not participated in the 1939 New York Worlds Fair, and it would not host a major worlds fair exhibit until the 1964 fair.</p><br>
<h3>Initial plans and funding issues</h3><br>
<p>The Wisconsin government was invited to join the 1964 Worlds Fair in 1961, and the Wisconsin Department of Resource Developments director David Carley brought up the idea of a Wisconsin exhibit at a meeting with officials from the New York Worlds Fair Corporation that October. By late 1961, officials from Michigan and Wisconsin had proposed a joint exhibit at the fair, which would have been themed to the Great Lakes states. In November 1962, the New York Worlds Fair Corporation sent a telegram inviting John W. Reynolds Jr., the newly elected governor of Wisconsin, to participate in the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. Reynolds did not respond to the telegram, but Jack B. Olson, the states lieutenant governor, did.</p><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Legislatures upper house, the Wisconsin Senate, voted in April 1963 to create the Worlds Fair Participation Committee, a 16-person commission led by Olson, to oversee the development of an exhibit at the fair. The commission included representatives of several of Wisconsins industries, and Reynolds was added as an honorary member. Reynolds approved the compromise the next month, and the Wisconsin Worlds Fair Commission (WFC) was formally established on July 11, 1963. The committee had until September 3 to decide whether to build the pavilion, and a 38,000 ft2 site next to the United States Pavilion was set aside for the Wisconsin exhibit.</p><br>
<p>Meanwhile, both houses of the state legislature voted in May 1963 to allocate $35,000 for a 12 ST block of cheese, and Reynolds approved the funding that June. Some of the cheese funding was taken from the states department of conservation. The Wisconsin Cheese Foundation agreed to pay for the cheese and hired Steve Suidzinski of Denmark, Wisconsin, to manufacture the cheese. The piece of cheese was to be displayed on the pavilions third floor, but the WFC discovered that the cheese was too heavy for the pavilion. That August, the Wisconsin WFC formed a nonprofit organization to sell space in the pavilion to Wisconsin businesses. The initial design called for an 18,000 ft2 domed structure with indoor and outdoor exhibition space and a cafe. At the end of the month, Olson reached out to several businesspeople to provide $1.2 million for the pavilion; the Department of Resource Development had not even contacted anyone for funding. Frank Zeidler, who led the Wisconsin Department of Resource Development, did not want the state government to sponsor the fair, saying the funds should be reallocated to the Wisconsin State Fair.</p><br>
<h3>Prudhon and Sanders plans</h3><br>
<p>The WFC downscaled its plans in September 1963 after failing to raise $1 million. By then, several companies from Wisconsin had leased space in the fairs other pavilions; Olson claimed that these companies had decided not to move into a potential Wisconsin exhibit because of Reynoldss indecision. The WFC had considered canceling the pavilion outright, but an official from the Wisconsin Agriculture Department said the legislature had already allocated $35,000 for cheese. agreed to develop the states pavilion. Prudhons plan called for a building of no more than 15,000 ft2, and Prudhon offered to pay for the structural frame, which would cost around $15,000. Prudhon hired John Steinmann, who had designed Pruden&#39;s offices, to design a Wisconsin pavilion.</p><br>
<p>Amid the uncertainty, the WFC received at least a hundred offers for the pavilions block of cheese, but Olson believed the cheese was a necessary part of the exhibit. Despite the missed deadline, WFC officials convinced the New York Worlds Fair Corporation to approve the plans, saying that, since it used prefabricated materials, the Wisconsin Pavilion could be built much more quickly than other structures. The WFC continued to seek funding, having estimated that the pavilion needed another $300,000. Olson met with American Motors Corporation and Pabst Brewing Company officials in mid-September 1963 to ask for funds.</p><br>
<p>Charles Sanders, a manufacturing distributor from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, received the WFCs permission that October to reach out to potential investors. Sanders claimed he could build a 20,000 ft2 building for $200,000. If the WFC approved Sanderss plan, Prudhon would donate the amount of steel that he would have originally used, while Sanders would pay for the rest of the pavilion&#39;s cost. Pruden Steel Companies agreed to donate the structural forms for the pavilion, and the developers retained Steinman as the architect. The project was to financed entirely with private funding. In addition, companies from across Wisconsin sold construction materials and mechanical systems to Wisconsin Pavilions Inc. at a discount.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>The Wisconsin exhibit&#39;s cheese, nicknamed the Golden Giant, After the cheese was completed, it was covered with paraffin wax. The Golden Giant was displayed in a "cheesemobile", consisting of a truck donated by the Ford Motor Company and a glass-walled trailer donated by the Highway Trailer Company. Thermo King supplied a refrigerator to keep the cheese cool. A state legislator introduced a bill to provide a property tax exemption for the cheese. Two semi-trailer trucks transported the construction materials from Wisconsin to New York. To promote the pavilion, a banner was displayed on the trucks outside the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison.</p><br>
<p>The site of the pavilion in New York was characterized in February 1964 as still being a "bare piece of ground", and Olson indicated that the pavilions rotunda would be moved to the Wisconsin State Fair after the Worlds Fair ended. The Golden Giant was supposed to have been transported to New York around April 8, but there were delays in constructing a concrete podium for the cheese. $98,000, $100,000, The Boston Globe reported that the Wisconsin Pavilion&#39;s final cost was three times the original estimate.</p><br>
<h2>World&#39;s Fair use</h2><br>
<h3>Location and exhibits</h3><br>
<h4>Site and layout</h4><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Pavilion was located in the fairground&#39;s federal and state area, The site was bounded by the Grand Central Parkway to the west, the New York City Pavilion to the north, the New Jersey Pavilion to the northeast, the New York State Pavilion to the southeast, and the Alaska and Missouri pavilions to the south.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion consisted of a central star-shaped rotunda surrounded by a "U"-shaped hall, both of which were made with materials supplied by Pruden Steel. The "U"-shaped structure included a bar and a steakhouse restaurant; the bar had 250 seats, while the restaurant had 400.</p><br>
<h4>Exhibits</h4><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Pavilion contained displays of products from Wisconsin and exhibits about the states features. Several firms from Wisconsin provided funds for the pavilion and hosted exhibits there. Miller Brewing Company was one of the major sponsors. Oscar Mayers exhibit at the pavilion had a theater with a short film, and the company was given an exclusive contract to sell meat products at the pavilion. In addition, Morris Lillethun created a stained glass artwork called Faith as the exhibit of the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin. The state&#39;s conservation, agriculture, and resource development departments had an exhibit in the rotunda. The rotunda exhibit was a replica of a wooded bluff in Wisconsin, designed by landscape architects Homer Fieldhouse and Alex Jordan Jr. There were displays about sports such as archery and fly casting.</p><br>
<p>The Golden Giant cheese weighed 34,591 lb Marketed as the world&#39;s largest piece of cheese, it used 92 lb of rennet, 1/3 ST of salt, and 367,000 gal of milk.</p><br>
<h3>Operation</h3><br>
<p>When the Worlds Fair formally opened on April 22, 1964, the Wisconsin Pavilion was not complete. Many of the exhibits were ready in time for the fairs opening, including the cheese, but some of the industry exhibits were still under construction.</p><br>
<p>In between seasons, the Golden Giant cheese was loaded into the cheesemobile and driven across the United States, The Wisconsin Pavilion&#39;s operators planned to double the amount of space at the pavilion by adding a picnic area and bandshell.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion reopened at the beginning of the fairs second season on April 21, 1965. Although a new beer garden and food concessions had been completed, the exhibit in the rotunda was not finished at the time of the fairs reopening. In total, the pavilion had accommodated around 13 million visitors during the two seasons; this made it the fairs eighth-most-popular attraction. The Wisconsin Legislature had provided $199,000 for the pavilions operation over the course of the fair.</p><br>
<h2>After the fair</h2><br>
<h3>Sale of pavilion and contents</h3><br>
<p>All temporary structures on the fairground had to be demolished within 90 days of the fairs closure. Wilcox had contacted Knowles in an attempt to obtain one of the industrial pavilions, but the structure Wilcox wanted was sold to someone else. A group of businessmen from Janesville, Wisconsin, also unsuccessfully tried to buy the building after reading about Wilcoxs purchase in a newspaper.</p><br>
<p>On October 18, Wilcox, his sons, and several Pruden Steel workers went to Flushing Meadows to disassemble the structure; it took five days to disassemble the rotunda. Some pieces of the pavilion, including public-announcement systems and lights, had been removed or stolen before the pavilion was disassembled. New York state law required Wilcox to hire a steelworkers union to dismantle the pavilion, but Wilcox instead hired a contractor, even as the New York Worlds Fair Corporation threatened to fine him for not using union labor. Wilcoxs team drove away before union contractors could prevent him from leaving. Most of the rotunda survived intact, but the glass in the pinnacle was damaged after the truck carrying the glass hit a highway overpass in Madison. Wilcox&#39;s insurance was for $1,000, less than half the cost of the broken glass. Wilcox had to spend another $2,000 to bring the rest of the rotunda to Boscobel, plus another $6,000 for new glass; he planned to sell the broken glass pieces as souvenirs. By the beginning of November, the pieces of the pavilion had arrived in Boscobel. In total, Wilcox had spent $12,000 relocating the rotunda.</p><br>
<p>Other pieces of the pavilion were also sold off. For example, Borden Dairy had offered to buy the Golden Giant even before the fair had begun. Another section of the pavilion became a ski lodge in the Pocono Mountains in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and a playground slide from the pavilion ended up in Weyauwega, Wisconsin. Following the relocation of the pavilion and its contents, the Wisconsin World&#39;s Fair Commission was formally dissolved in December 1965.</p><br>
<h3>Resale and relocation to Neillsville</h3><br>
<p>Wilcox initially wanted to obtain local support to reassemble the rotunda in Boscobel. However, there was little interest in converting the building to a tourist center or an event venue. Wilcox decided to place the rotunda for sale. Under the conditions that he laid out, the buyer had to keep the pavilion in Wisconsin, and the buyer needed to allow Wilcox to help reassemble the structure. Wilcox rejected several offers for the pavilion, including one offer of $8,000 for the mosaic-tile murals at the rotunda&#39;s base. The site, opposite the Clark County Fairground in Neillsville, was selected specifically because of its proximity to a dance hall that Sturtz ran. The site of the pavilion was also higher than the surrounding land.</p><br>
<p>The first pieces of the rotunda arrived in Neillsville in December 1965, where they were temporarily stored. Wilcox and five other contractors were hired to rebuild the rotunda, which was erected next to the Clark County Fairground. Pruden Steel provided additional steel for the rebuilt pavilion, By the end of April 1966, workers were about to begin excavating the basement. After Wisconsin&#39;s Industrial Commission approved the building plans that June, The cow, built for Central Wisconsin Broadcasting, was displayed at the Clark County Fair before being moved near the pavilion.</p><br>
<p>The reconstruction of the Wisconsin Pavilion attracted much local notice. Local media outlets reached out to Sturtz about the buildings reconstruction before it was finished, The pavilion was completed in May 1967. WCCN hosted a naming competition for the talking cow outside the pavilion. A first-grade student from Loyal, Wisconsin, suggested the winning name, "Chatty Belle". Wilcox began selling broken pieces of the pavilions original glass pinnacle in mid-1967.</p><br>
<h3>Later operation</h3><br>
<p>When the building reopened, radio stations WCCN AM and FM used it as an office and broadcasting studio. The two radio stations offices were located in the basement, while their studios were located on a portion of the first floor. The rest of the first floor was used as a tourist center and a gift shop, and two offices in the basement were leased out. Eighty-nine types of cheese were sold at the pavilion. and renovated the trailer, which was moved next to the pavilion in early July 1967. The fake cheese was displayed in the cheesemobile. In 1968, WCCN, the Wisconsin Cheese Foundation, and local cheese manufacturers raised money to buy the cheesemobiles truck. which was refurbished and moved next to the pavilion.</p><br>
<p>For four decades after Wilcox sold the pavilion, he continued to visit it sporadically. or 1986. During that decade, the cheesemobile trailer remained parked outside the pavilion, but it was empty. Chatty Belle continued to stand next to the pavilion, and a steam tractor was displayed nearby. Among its tenants was a company named the Highground, which occupied one of the offices until 1990.</p><br>
<p>The building remained a tourist attraction in the 1990s and 2000s, and it also became a well-known symbol of Neillsville.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Pavilion is located at 1201 East Division Street (USA Route 10) in Neillsville, Wisconsin, United States. The radio stations WCCN AM and FM broadcast out of the pavilion, as does the FM radio station WPKG. The building also houses a gift shop.</p><br>
<h3>Site</h3><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Pavilion is located on a 5 acre plot of land in southeastern Neillsville. There are fountains outside the pavilion; In addition, a parking lot was added outside the pavilion. Near the building is a truck trailer, which displays a replica of the cheddar cheese that was exhibited at the pavilion during the World&#39;s Fair. The cheese replica has been described as being made out of either plywood or cardboard. There is also a steam tractor displayed next to the pavilion.</p><br>
<p>The grounds include a model of a talking cow named Chatty Belle. When visitors insert 25 cents into a coin-operated machine next to the cow, the voice box plays a recording. The recordings are narrated by one of the gift shop&#39;s employees and are swapped out throughout the year. Originally, there was also a fiberglass model of a heifer named Bullet, but the heifer model was vandalized. As a result, the heifer was either thrown away or placed in storage. A Marshfield News-Herald article from 2014 reported that Chatty Belle had become a local tourist attraction.</p><br>
<h3>Form and facade</h3><br>
<p>The building is a twelve-sided structure. According to Steinmann, the central rotunda&#39;s massing "was prompted by the shape of an Indian tepee", which in turn was intended to attract visitors at the 1964 fair. At the rear of the rotunda is a one-story, flat-roofed wing measuring 18 by.</p><br>
<h4>Basement</h4><br>
<p>When the building was situated in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, it was placed on a concrete foundation slab, with piers made of concrete. These concrete piers concealed the steel trusses inside. After the structure was relocated to Neillsville, the contractors built a basement with twelve concrete foundation piers, which are much larger than the original piers that held up the building in Flushing Meadows. The basement piers are shaped like wedges, which narrow at a 15-degree angle as they ascend toward ground level. The piers divide the facade into twelve bays. The southern elevation of the basement facade faces the rock garden, while the northern elevation of the basement is surrounded by concrete blocks. There are window openings in the basement, with yellow panels below them and sculpted panels with chevron patterns above, in addition to two doors leading from the rock garden into the basement.</p><br>
<h4>Ground story and roof</h4><br>
<p>At the ground story (above the basement piers), there are additional piers shaped like inverted wedges, which widen at a 15-degree angle as they ascend. The concrete bridges across the rock garden lead to glass doorways on the western and eastern elevations. The rest of the ground-story facade is covered in white paint.</p><br>
<p>Six triangular canopies protrude from the facade above the windows. The central portion of each canopys underside is low to the ground, with the ceiling sloping upward to the right and left. Each canopys underside is painted white and contains spotlights, while the rooftop of each canopy is painted yellow. The canopies extend outward to yellow rhombus-shaped pylons with tiny holes. The pylons are slanted outward at 15-degree angles and are about twice as high as the canopies. The tops of the pylons are tapered. The roof, including the canopies, measures about 94 ft wide when measured from pylon to pylon.</p><br>
<p>The trusses above the first story are concealed by folded-plate steel roof panels, which were also manufactured at the Pruden factory. There are twelve roof panels, which contain ribbed patterns and are tapered toward their tops. At the center of the roof is a skylight with 120 pieces of glass, which were originally laminated in shades of gold and blue. These colors were used because they were the state&#39;s official colors; by the 2010s, these had been replaced with green and gold glass. The center of the roof originally measured 30 ft high, though a National Park Service report cites the modern-day roof as measuring 46 ft high. The skylight is surmounted by a triangular spire measuring 50 ft high. Each side of the spire is decorated with letters spelling out the name "Wisconsin&quot the letters each measure 2 ft tall and consist of cast metal. When the building was relocated to Neillsville, the structure was outfitted with 57 spotlights, while the spire was retrofitted with a blue beacon.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>At the World&#39;s Fair, the rotunda had about 2,000 ft2 of exhibit space for Wisconsin governmental departments. Although the building was air-conditioned during the fair, it did not have any heating until it was relocated to Neillsville. A new air-conditioning system was also added after the structure was relocated. Aluminum, glass, and wrought iron finishes, as well as wood panels and red carpets, were added to the interior when the pavilion was moved to Neillsville.</p><br>
<p>The current main level contains about 1,969 ft2 which, by the 2010s, contained a scale model of the building, in addition to items from the 1964 fair. The northern half includes radio broadcasting studios and a mezzanine. Within the studio portion of the building is a staircase leading up to the mezzanine and down to the basement; this staircase has open stair risers and a metal balustrade. There is also a skylight at the center of the building, underneath the pinnacle of the roof.</p><br>
<p>The mezzanine level has three offices, which are immediately above the main level&#39;s broadcasting studios. The offices radiate outward from the center of the building. They have wooden walls and are accessed by balconies on the mezzanine level. The basement has five offices, which also radiate outward from the center of the building, in addition to a pair of restrooms. At the rear of the building is a basement space with heating equipment, as well as a one-story annex above the wing.</p><br>
<h2>Reception and impact</h2><br>
<p>When the building was under construction, the Two Rivers, Wisconsin, Reporter described it as a "Frank Lloyd Wright–style building", while the Iron County Miner said it "has already been acclaimed as one of the best-looking buildings at the fair". According to the Miner, the structure had been variously called a "handsome twentieth century tepee" and a "modern jewel". William Everett Potter, the executive vice president of the New York Worlds Fair Corporation, praised the pavilion as one of the best-run exhibits at the fair. Conversely, the Waukesha County Freeman wrote that the pavilion had few other draws beside the large cheese and that the exhibits glossed over important aspects of Wisconsins industry, such as machine tools. Following the first season, the Boscobel Dial wrote that the success of Wisconsin&#39;s pavilion was worth having "a few thousand tourists bypassing Wisconsin to attend the fair". The Capital Times of Madison, on the other hand, regarded the pavilion as a waste of money, preferring that visitors to the exhibit instead spend their money in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>After the fair ended, the Wisconsin Dells Events wrote that the pavilion "was not the fanciest, of course, but an excellent job of promotion was done for the funds available", predicting that the pavilion would have a positive impact on the state. The Beaver Dam Daily Citizen described the structure as "a pinnacle of mans ingenuity for the nations dairylanders". A Country Today article from 2013 described the building as resembling a Space Age structure and characterized it as "a favorite in all of Neillsville&#39;s tour guides". In 2014, Jim Draeger and Daina Penkunias wrote for the Wisconsin Magazine of History that the design reflected the improvements in construction materials and methods that had taken place during and after World War II.</p><br>
<p>When the building was reconstructed in Neillsville in 1967, a local group called the Black River Country Association adopted a depiction of the building as its symbol. and footage of the cow was also used in the 2000 comedy Chump Change. Kevin Grap said the cow&#39;s presence had brought attention both to Neillsville and to the dairy industry.</p><br>
<p>The Booth-Dunham Estate is a single-family home located at 6059 South Ninth Street Texas Charter Township near Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1836, DeForest and Catharine Maria (Booth) Manice of Hempstead, New York, purchased over 1000 acres of land in this portion of Kalamazoo Count as an investment. In 1841, the Manices allowed Catharine&#39;s brother, William Booth, to settle on a portion of the land they had purchased. William and Abigail Booth moved to the land later that year from their home town of Stratford, Connecticut, with their two sons. The Booths farmed the land for the next two decades, with William Booth serving in various public positions in the local government. During this time, he also constructed the first part of the farmhouse on the land.</p><br>
<p>William Booth died in 1864, and in 1866 Thomas P. Dunham purchased the farm. Dunham was born in Junius, New York, in 1822. He was a grocer in Chicago and a sugar broker in New Orleans for several years before coming to Kalamazoo County in 1859 with his wife Emily (Braden) Dunham. Thomas was active in local affairs, serving as Highway Commissioner and as director of the nearby school. The Dunhams added onto the house in about 1875. Thomas died in 1895, after turning the farm over to his eldest son Charles. Charles died in 1909, and the farm was turned over to the second son Edgar. The family operated the farm until 1946, when the last of Thomas&#39;s children died. In 1952, the Sprau family bought the farm. In 1967, they sold the bulk of the acreage to Kalamazoo Valley Community College for their new campus.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Booth-Dunham Estate includes a farm house, a large barn, a tool shed, a wood shed and a wellhouse sitting on a 22-acre parcel of land. The house is a -story, T-shaped side-gable Greek Revival structure with a timber frame and a fieldstone foundation. A rear ell is attached behind the house. The house is clad with clapboard siding, and has a low-pitched roof and general symmetrical window placement typical of Greek Revival style. The front facade is almost perfectly symmetrical. The first floor has a centrally located front door flanked by pairs of none=over-six double hung windows with shutters. The second floor has three windows, with the central one slightly off center. A shed-roof porch supported by plain columns runs the width of the front of the house.</p><br>
<p>The barn is an eight-bay, timber-framed, side-gable structure with vertical wooden siding measuring 30 feet wide by 120 feet long. It was likely built about the same time as the house (about 1840). The toolshed is a single-story, side gable structure measuring 60 feet long by 16 feet wide. It dates from about the 1920s. The woodshed is a front gable, single story wood-frame building measuring approximately 20 feet long and 16 feet wide. The wellhouse is a pyramid roofed, concrete block building, measuring ten feet by yen feet, covering a six foot deep stone lined well pit. It likely dates from the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Redwood City Historic Commercial Buildings is an historic district in Redwood City, California that comprises four buildings constructed from 1859-1912. These buildings include the Pioneer Store, the Bank of San Mateo County building, the Sequoia Hotel, and the Alhambra Theater.</p><br>
<h2>Pioneer Store</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1859 by John Voger Diller, the Diller-Chamberlain General Store is the oldest commercial building in San Mateo County. The building was originally constructed as a general store and later a laundromat, then known as Quong Lee Laundry.</p><br>
<h2>Alhambra Theater</h2><br>
<p>The theater opened in 1896 filling a void between the larger cities of San Jose and San Francisco. The theater hosted operas, plays, musical performances and had a bar that Wyatt Earp visited. In 1921 the Masonic Order purchased the building and utilized the space for their meetings. The building suffered extensive damage during a fire in 2001 but was able to be saved.</p><br>
<h2>Bank of San Mateo County</h2><br>
<p>The Bank of San Mateo County building was completed in 1900, the second location for the First National Bank of San Mateo County, and survived the 1906 earthquake. The bank which was originally established in 1891 eventually merged with Wells Fargo Bank in the 1970s. The bank printed a variety of National Bank Notes during its operational years.</p><br>
<h2>Sequoia Hotel</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was constructed in 1912, on the site of the former Eureka Brewery which burned down in October 1902. In 1916, it was claimed to be, "the finest hotel now in operation between San Francisco and San Jose." However, in current years despite efforts to revitalize the surrounding area and hotel it houses low-income residents rather than hotel guests.</p><br>
<p>The Tintic Smelter Site, located off USA Route 6 near Silver City, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The site is one of few legacies of historic Silver City, a mining boom town in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>The site is described as being an "approximately five acre site containing slag and tailings dumps, as well as remnants of the concrete foundations of the Tintic Smelter and Tintic Mill." The Tintic Smelter was "built in 1908, dismantled in 1915, and replaced that year by the Tintic Mill.</p><br>
<p>It was described as significant for aiding "in the documentation of the history of smelters and mills in Tintic Mining District. The Tintic Smelter, built by Jesse Knight, was constructed to combat high smelting rates of the 1908 period; and it resulted in lower rates by Salt Lake Valley smelters. The Knight-Dern Mill (Tintic Mill) was built as a joint venture by Jesse Knight and George Dern (Utah Governor, 1925-1933, and Secretary of War under Franklin D. Roosevelt). The mill utilized the Holt-Dern method of roasting ore in processing and received ores from throughout the western states."</p><br>
<p>The Sunbeam Mine and the Silver City Cemetery, both also associated with Silver City, were also listed on the National Register on the same day.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the NRHP March 14, 1979.</p><br>
