<p>The Transcontinental Railroad Grade is a section of railway in northwest Utah, near Corinne, Utah, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>It is an abandoned 13.5 mi section of the original 1869 grade of the first transcontinental railroad. Its raised grade (trackway), 11 trestles, and 21 culverts were built in 1869 or in years soon after. This section was built poorly by the Union Pacific, consistent with financial incentives, and was acquired by the Central Pacific in 1869, which found it necessary to replace trestles and otherwise rebuild the route here.</p><br>
<p>The trestles were built largely with redwood, and have vertical round beams supporting stringers supporting railway ties. Just three of them were in good condition in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The section runs roughly from 6 mi miles west of Corinne for about 13 mi further west along what is now Utah State Route 83. It is near Promontory Summit where the ceremonial golden spike was hammered in to complete the six-year project by three companies to build the transcontinental railway.</p><br>
<p>Stewart Ranch, also known as Stewart-Hewlett Ranch, near Woodland, Utah in Wasatch and Summit counties, includes eight buildings which were separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The former ranch is located off Utah State Route 35. Some or all of the ranch is included in what is now the Diamond Bar X Ranch.</p><br>
<p>Stewart Ranch was a "recreational ranch" established around 1902 in Pine Valley, a mountain valley along the North Fork of the Provo River in the western side of the Uintah Mountains, about 60 mi east of Salt Lake City, Utah. All but one of the buildings are in Wasatch County, east of the Provo River, across which lies Summit County.</p><br>
<p>William M. Stewart visited the valley in 1900 and purchased 160 acre. With purchases by a total of four Stewart brothers the ranch eventually was 2,262 acre in size. The ranch was bought in 1931 by in-laws, the Hewletts, who built a dairy barn and otherwise made changes.</p><br>
<p>"Included among the eight buildings are the ranch homes of the four Stewart brothers who founded the ranch, the ranch</p><br>
<p>homes of the two Hewlett brothers, in-law relations of the Stewarts who purchased the ranch in 1931, the ranch foreman&#39;s house, and the dairy barn. There are a number of other structures and buildings on the ranch which are not included in the nomination because they either have been altered, constructed within the past 50 years, or lack significant historical associations."</p><br>
<p>"Stewart Ranch is located in Pine Valley, a small mountain valley on the western edge of the Uinta Mountains, approximately 60 miles east of Salt Lake City. The valley, which runs generally north and south, is two or three miles in length, several hundred yards wide, and consists of a combination of open meadow lands and forested areas. The North Fork of the Provo River runs the</p><br>
<p>length of the valley and converges with the South Fork at the southern end of the valley. Also extending the length of the valley is a dirt road which passes through a series of fences and gates that mark some of the current property lines."</p><br>
<p>"The eight significant buildings that are included in the Stewart Ranch Thematic Resources nomination are as follows:</p><br>
<p>Ethelbert White/William M. Stewart Ranch House (1890)</p><br>
<p>Barnard J. Stewart Ranch House (1911)</p><br>
<p>Samuel W. Stewart Ranch House (1913)</p><br>
<p>Charles B. Stewart Ranch House (1918)</p><br>
<p>Stewart Ranch Foreman&#39;s House (1929-30)</p><br>
<p>Lester F. Hewlett Ranch House (1912?)</p><br>
<p>Verner Hewlett Ranch House (1929-30)</p><br>
<p>Stewart-Hewlett Ranch Dairy Barn (1935)</p><br>
<p>There are three other houses on the ranch which, though not yet 50 years old, may be eligible for future nomination to the Register because they were constructed during the second and final period of the ranch&#39;s significance as a recreational ranch. They are listed below.</p><br>
<p>Isaac M. Stewart Summer Home (c. 1941)</p><br>
<p>Junius M. and Ruth Stewart Romney Summer Home (1946)</p><br>
<p>Harold F. and Madelyn Stewart Silver Summer Home (1946)"</p><br>
<h2>Ethelbert White and William M. Stewart Ranch House</h2><br>
<p>This is a one-story gabled log cabin built in 1890, probably by Ethelbert White. It was moved from its original location at the north end of the valley to the southern end, around 1932.</p><br>
<p>It was a home of Salt Lake City-based educator William M. Stewart, who served 25 years at the University of Utah, including assisting the rise of the Stewart School, which trained teachers. William M. Stewart&#39;s main residence, the house at 1133 E. 300 South, Salt Lake City, is the house most associated with his life and career, and was still standing in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The listed area is less than one acre, and the reference number is 85001140.</p><br>
<h2>Barnard J. Stewart Ranch House</h2><br>
<p>This is a one-and-a-half-story log house built in 1911 in Craftsman, bungalow style. It was designed by Barnard J. and Leonora Cannon Stewart, with Leonora insisting upon Victorian details, and it was built by Hyrum Jensen, a Salt Lake contractor early in his career.</p><br>
<p>The listing, with refnum=85001136, included three additional contributing buildings on 8 acre.</p><br>

<p>The dairy barn was built in 1934.</p><br>
<p>This is a two-and-a-half-story wood frame barn with a gambrel roof, built upon a concrete foundation in 1934. It has vertical board and batten siding. The barn is about 34x150 ft in plan. Its original shingles were eventually replaced by metal roofing. A large shed-roofed milking barn was added as a lean-to on the west side in 1941, but collapsed under heavy snowload in the 1950s or 1960s, and was replaced by a smaller lean-to later.</p><br>
<h2>Lester F. and Margaret Stewart Hewlett Ranch House</h2><br>
<h2>Verner O. Hewlett Ranch House</h2><br>
<p>Only one, out of eight here, shown in National Register of Historic Places listings in Summit County, Utah, which seems to be correct based on GeoGroup view of all eight&#39;s coordinates and the Provo River which makes the county border.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1929 by Frank Turnbull. It is a variation on Bungalow architecture in style. 1.7 acre</p><br>
<p>One-and-a-half-story log house with gable wings cross-wings crosswings cross-wings.</p><br>
<p>The Wilson House and Farmstead, at 94 E. 250 North in Midway, Utah, was built in 1894. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. The listing included three contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It includes a one-and-a-half-story brick house built upon a stone foundation in 1894. It was designed and built by William Walter Wilson as a Victorian-style cross-wing cottage. In 1915 addition to the rear and remodeling added Bungalow style. It was also remodeled during 1989 to 1991, which replaced a c.1920 sleeping porch by an enclosed back porch.</p><br>
<p>Also contributing on the property are a c. 1896 stone granary and a c. 1915 frame wagon shed/garage.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Lowell Historic District is a primarily commercial historic district located along Main Street , roughly between Hudson and Washington Streets, in Lowell, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first European settler in this area was Daniel Marsac, a French fur trader, who arrived in 1831. In 1835, Marsac purchased what is now the east side of Lowell and founded a new settlement, naming it Dansville. By 1844, there was a bridge across the Flat River at Dansville, which was quickly followed by a dam and gristmill. In 1850, Marsac sold his land to Able Avery, who platted the area. Arba Richards and Richard Wickham, owners of what is now the west side of present-day Lowell, followed suit in 1854, naming their new settlement "Lowell." Both Dansville and Lowell existed side-by-side until 1861, when they merged and incorporated as the village of Lowell.</p><br>
<p>The 1850s started the rapid increase of Lowells population, and the growth if the central business district. A number of mills opened, spurred by the damming of the Flat River. The Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railway arrived in 1858, making Lowell easily accessible. Starting after the Civil War, a boom in commercial business began in Lowell, as prosperous farmers and mill owners began spending their wealth. Over the next three decades, a number of commercial buildings were constructed, many with multiple storefronts, and a variety of businesses moved in. These new brick blocks supplanted the wooden buildings that had been located in the downtown area initially. Merchants included Joseph Lowthian Hudson, later the founder of Hudsons department store in Detroit, who operated a store in Lowell from 1888 to 1890.</p><br>
<p>After the turn of the century, new styles of buildings were constructed downtown. Substantial flooding in 1904 washed away the buildings straddling the river, and a large fire in 1905 demolished several buildings. However, the turn of the century also marked the end of Lowell&#39;s growth, with little population added over the next 80 years. Only a handful of buildings were constructed after 1910, leaving downtown Lowell looking much as it did at that time.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Downtown Lowell Historic District covers both sides of five city blocks along Main Street, on either side of the Flat River. The district contains 56 buildings and structures, 44 of which contribute to the historic character of the district. Thirty-nine of the contributing buildings are brick and/or cement commercial blocks of one to three stories in height. The remaining structures include one brick residence (the Graham House, listed separately on the Register), one wood frame industrial building; two bridges and the Jaycees Park. Nearly all buildings are sited directly on the sidewalk, and the majority were constructed from 1865-1890, with nearly all constructed before 1910. The buildings are typically Italianate in character, but there are some Romanesque Revival and Art Deco structures included in the district.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery is a historic cemetery in rural White County, Arkansas, northeast of Mount Vernon on Manning Road. It was founded in the 1880s, and is the only surviving remnant of an African-American community called "The Colony". It occupies 1.9 acre of basically level ground, and has 86 known burials. Of those, 58 are marked in some way, by some combination of head and foot stones. There are likely more burials on the property. The property includes the Mount Olive Baptist Church, a small clapboarded wood-frame building which has elements dating to the community&#39;s founding. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Colony was established in the years after the American Civil War, when Arkansas experienced an influx of former slaves migrating from states in the Deep South in search of better land and working opportunities. The core of the settlement appears to have been at least in part former slaves of the DuPriest family, which had an extensive plantation. At its height in the 1930s, The Colony had an estimated population of more than 200. The community declined in the following decades, as later generations left for economic opportunities elsewhere. The descendants of families of this community have always known about this location as many of the descendants live in nearby towns such as Conway and Little Rock. In the 1970s the descendants began to have bi-annual reunions at Mt. Olive/Bedford Chapel. The reunions, also known as homecomings are celebrated on the weekend in the summer and end with a church service on Sundays.</p><br>
<p>Deepwood House is a historic house at 4697 West Finger Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Built about 1960, it was the personal residence of architect Herb Fowler. The property includes the main house, a guest house, and several outbuildings, all designed by Fowler and built by 1965. Building materials are wood and stone chosen to fit organically with the site, about 30 acre at the top of Kessler Mountain. The main house features a broad expanse of south-facing windows, and a sunken garden just to its west. It and the nearby guest house have gable-on-hip roofs, with extended eaves providing additional shade.</p><br>
<p>The house was the home of Fowler and his wife Marie (Judy) for 35 years, until they sold the property in 1995. Herb Keatinge Fowler (1921-April 10, 2008) was born in Lewiston, Idaho. He attended Yale University before and after serving in the USA Army during World War II. He was a founding member of, and long served, the architecture department at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Ellis Building is a historic commercial building at 208 North Block Avenue in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building, with a hip roof that has a rounded top section. The roof&#39;s shape is obscured from the front by a low stepped parapet. The front facade has a former garage bay opening to the left, and a pair of plate glass display windows flanking a pedestrian entrance to the right. The building was under construction about 1923, and is one of the oldest surviving automotive service buildings in northwestern Arkansas. It has housed a variety of commercial businesses since ending automotive use about 1955.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Lofts Apartments, formerly known as the Medical Arts Building or the Becker Building, is an apartment building located at 26 Sheldon Boulevard SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The building was constructed as an office building in 1926, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 1920s, a group of local doctors and businessmen formed the "Professional Building Company" for the purpose of constructing an office building dedicated to medical professionals. In 1923, the group hired architect B.K. Gibson of Chicago to design a building. Construction was started in 1926, with developer and auto dealer Ray E. Becker spearheading the project. The firm of Owen Ames Kimball did the construction, completing the lower two floors of the building that year. In 1927, the upper four floors were added. By 1928, there were over 30 physicians with offices in the building, and Becker opened a Hudson-Essex auto dealership on the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1931, an addition, designed by local architect Henry H. Turner, was constructed on the building. The building continued to be a prominent center for medical professionals well into the 1980s. In 1996, Grand Pointe Limited Partnership purchased the building and rehabilitated it into fifty-five apartments, with commercial space and common areas on the first floor.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Medical Arts Building is a six-story, L-shaped early 20th century commercial style building located on a corner lot. It is constructed of reinforced concrete, clad with brick veneer and stone details, and has a flat roof. The building has Gothic Revival and Chicago School architectural features. The facade along Sheldon Boulevard is seven bays wide, and the facade along Weston Street is six bays wide. The bays are divided by brick piers, and each contain banks of four double-hung windows on each floor. The piers are</p><br>
<p>finished in brick with stone trim at the second/third story level. The windows have limestone sills and cast-stone lintels. The corner of the building is open at the first floor, with a drive for cars to enter the parking ramp behind the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The University Neighborhood Historic District is a 180 acre historic district near the University of Utah campus in northeastern Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district&#39;s listing included 451 contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and two contributing sites, as well as 134 non-contributing buildings and 9 properties already NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by 500 South, South Temple, 1100 East, and University Street in Salt Lake City. It includes works by architects Ware & Treganza, Carl Neuhausen and others. Also included is the home of architect David C. Dart. Dart "built the house at 206 Douglas for his family in 1907. He was a well-known local architect who designed buildings around Salt Lake City, including the Judge Building (National Register 1979), Patrick Dry Goods Building, and Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel (all still in existence)."</p><br>
<p>Another residence in the district is at 1133 East 300 South and the principal residence of educator William M. Stewart, who served 25 years at the University of Utah, including assisting the rise of the Stewart School there, which trained teachers. William M. Stewart also had a summer residence, a log cabin in Wasatch County, Utah, the Ethelbert White and William M. Stewart Ranch House, which is separately listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The Galen Elementary School is a historic building in Macon County, Tennessee. It was built by Jimmy Bohanon in 1928–29. It was a two-year feeder high school until 1960, when it closed down. One of the teachers was Harold Blankenship, who was interviewed in 1991. The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 22, 1993.</p><br>
<p>It was built to a standard design for a two-year high school with grade school, which would have four classrooms, specifically plan 3-B for a "Three-teacher school". The plan was adapted somewhat, and one of the four classroom areas was split into a smaller classroom, a cloakroom, and a teacher&#39;s room. The standard plan specified that the building was "To Face East or West Only" and has classroom windows only on those sides; this implementation in fact faces east. When it opened it used one room for grades 1–4, another for 5–8, one for 9, and one for grade 10. Blankenship reported it never was used for a high school that students would graduate from, but rather served as an elementary school in its later years.</p><br>
<p>The school was the first rural school in Macon County to have hot lunches, which started in 1941, with conversion of the small classroom into a kitchen. Also,When the first sanitation officers were appointed for the county the Galen School was a forerunner in sanitation. The old dipper water bucket method of dispensing water was replaced by a hand pump at the well. A concrete dispenser was built to hold an iron pipe with a half dozen holes placed in the pipe. When the pump was pumped the water was forced through the iron pipe, the water spurted up through the holes in the pipe and about 6 students could drink without having to drink in a unsanitary manner.</p><br>
<p>It was in use as a rural schoolhouse until 1960. After that, it served as a community center, as a voting precinct, and as a meeting place for groups such as Home Demonstration Clubs.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "as an excellent example of a local interpretation of a state school plan".</p><br>
<p>The Belview School is a historic building in Macon County, Tennessee, United States.</p><br>
<p>The school was built by Leo Butrum in 1936, and the first teacher was Lewis Bandy. It was named for Mr Belview, a teacher from Kentucky who taught at the original Belview School on Puncheon Creek Road in the 1890s. The school closed down circa 1959, and it was later used as a community meeting place. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 21, 2007.</p><br>
<p>It was built to a standard plan for a two-teacher rural schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>The Peck Block is a commercial building located at 34-50 Monroe Center NW in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The building has been rehabilitated to house condos on the upper floors.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Amos Rathbone came to Grand Rapids from Covington, Indiana in 1839, joining his brother Albert. He opened a general store in partnership with his nephew, and by 1843 was profitable enough to warrant constructing a new building, the citys first stone commercial structure. Rathbone diversified into other businesses, including mining gypsum and investing in the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad. In the early 1870s, Rathbone began developing brick commercial blocks along Monroe Street, demolishing the frame houses previously there and pushing the citys commercial core outward. Rathbone worked with builder Reuben Wheeler to construct these new commercial blocks. In 1875, Rathbone had this commercial building constructed. It was initially called the "Rathbone Block", but soon became known as the "Peck Block", named after the large Peck Brothers Drugstore which took up tenancy in the corner of the block. Peck Brothers was founded by Thomas and John Peck, and soon was worth several million dollars. John Peck was later a victim of a sensational New York murder in 1916.</p><br>
<p>Peck Drugs remained a tenant in the Block until 1968 when it was sold to Revco Drugs. Revco remained in the space until 1988. Amos Rathbone owned the Peck Block until his death in 1882, after which it, along with much of his estate, passed to Rathbone Trust. The Trust was established to manage his real estate interests for the benefit of his wife, Amanda, two nieces, and a nephew. The Peck Block remained in the hands of the Trust until 1992, when it was sold to the Kent County Council for Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Peck Block is a three-story brick Italianate structure, composed of three separate buildings sharing a unified facade. The buildings fill an irregular lot, with the two westernmost buildings fronting on Monroe Center having a rectangular footprint and the third building filling the triangular-shaped corner of the lot. The facade along Monroe is eleven bays wide, with a single narrow bay over the entry at the Monroe and Division corner. The bays are separated by brick piers running up the upper two stories from an intermediate cornice above the first floor. A bracketed metal cornice runs across the top of the building. The bays alternate wider bays with three windows per floor and narrower bays with one window per floor, which originally contained stairways leading to the upper floors. The windows are one-over-one, double-hung units, in segmental arches on the second floor and round arches on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>The Bear Creek Fishweir #1 is a historic fishing weir on Bear Creek in Tishomingo State Park, in northeastern Mississippi. It consists of a fieldstone dam extending from the south bank of the creek at an angle for about 40 m, with evidence that a similar but shorter dam extended for some 8 m from the north bank. The two dams formed a V shape with a narrow chute between them. At that point there is evidence of a 20th-century fish trap constructed of wooden elements, of which only fragments remained. Its known history is that it was built  by William Wiley Leatherwood, whose family maintained the weir. State law requiring weirs to not impede waterflow was passed in the 1920s, leading to its decreased effectiveness and eventual abandonment. The weir is one of the best-preserved such structures in northeastern Mississippi, many of the others having been destroyed to improve water flow.</p><br>
<p>The weir wa listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Bear Creek Fishweir #2 is a historic fishing weir on Bear Creek in Tishomingo State Park, northeastern Mississippi. The weir is a roughly V-shaped stone construction built from readily available local sandstone. The walls of the weir meet closer to the western bank of the creek, where they form a chute estimated to be 11 m in length. At the end of the chute, there would have been a fish trap of wooden construction, of which no traces remain. Residents almost certainly maintained the weir into the early 20th century, but it may have been built on the site of an earlier construction by Native Americans. This weir, along with Bear Creek Fishweir#1, is one of the best-preserved surviving weirs in northeastern Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>The weir was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Albertson and Company-Rocklin Manufacturing Company is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1912, the building initially housed Automatic Valve Seating Mach Co. They reorganized in 1914 and became the Sioux City Machine and Tool Company, which produced spark plugs and tire valves. The company failed four months later and the shop foreman, Frans Oscar Albertson, formed Albertson & Co. and took over the plant. During World War I they supplied 6,000 piston rings and repair tools for munition plants for Canada. Albertson never owned the building and moved his operations to another Sioux City building in 1920. The company went on to become the largest manufacturer of portable electronic and air tools in the world. They changed their name to Sioux Tools Inc., and in 1993 they became a division of Snap-On Tools. Their manufacturing facility moved to North Carolina in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Between 1921 and 1942, this building had several owners and uses. I.J. Rocklin acquired it for his company in 1942. He founded his farm equipment business in 1934 and expanded during World War II manufacturing equipment for the Chrysler Corporation, International Harvester, and Allis Chalmers. They also supplied the Chicago Ordnance District and the Tank Automotive Center at the Detroit Arsenal. Their expansion at that time included building two additional structures on the same property. After the war, they no longer need all of the space and consolidated their operations into the newer buildings while letting the 1912 structure deteriorate. Rocklin developed the Rocklinizer in the 1960s. It "applies a thin coating of tungsten or titanium carbide to industrial surfaces (like the tip of a drill bit), lending an extremely durable edge. Decades later the firm developed the MoldMender, which repairs steel molds and dies." When the company decided to move from its World War II-era buildings they chose to renovate their historic building rather than tear it down and build a new structure. Renovations began in early 2017 and were completed in August 2018. The two-story brick building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Monroe Avenue Water Filtration Plant is a municipal water treatment plant located at 430 Monroe Avenue NW in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Built in 1910, it was likely the first water filtration plant in Michigan. In 1945, the plant was the site of the first public introduction of water fluoridation in the United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The building now serves as an event center, known as Clearwater Place.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the 1870s, the city of Grand Rapids realized the need for a city-wide water system. Bonds were issued in 1874, and a reservoir constructed. However, by the 1900s, there was increasing pressure to find a new source of clean water for the city. In 1910 bonds were issued to construct a filtration plant to clean water from the Grand River. The city hired nationally known New York City engineers Rudolph Hering and George Warren Fuller of Hering and Fuller Engineers to design the new plant, and construction began in 1910. Gentz Brothers of Grand Rapids was the general contractor. The plant was first put on line in 1912, and was an immediate success, substantially reducing water-borne diseases in the city. By the 1920s, however, the plant already needed to be expanded. A large addition, designed by R E. Harrison, was constructed in 1922-24. Additional expansion was done in 1935.</p><br>
<p>In 1944, the Grand Rapids City Commission authorized fluoridation of the city&#39;s water supply, the first city in the United States to do so. Actual application to the water began in early 1945. In 1961, Grand Rapids constructed a large regional filtration plant using water from Lake Michigan, relegating the Monroe Avenue plant to use as a backup facility. In 1988, the plant was designated as a Michigan Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The plant was closed in 1992. In 2017, the building was renovated into an events center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Monroe Avenue Water Filtration Plant consists of two buildings (only one of which, the main building, is historically significant) and two wash tanks. The main building is a simple two-story, red brick Romanesque Revival structure sitting on a concrete base. It has a hipped roof covered in green tile, some of which has been replaced with asphalt shingles. Square towers are sited on the corners of the front facade. These towers contain side entrances under triple sets of arches. Prominently visible is a large, hip roofed central tower, located at the rear, known as the "head house." The two wash tanks are large brick structures located to wither side of the main building. They have conical, low-pitched roofs clad in green tile, and a single row of small rectangular windows.</p><br>
<p>Oakland, also known as the Dr. Garland Doty Murphy House, is a historic house at 3800 Calion Road in El Dorado, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure resting on a brick foundation, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A flat-roofed porch, two stories in height, extends across the front facade, supported by square box columns. It has a symmetrical five-bay facade, with a center entrance surmounted by a semicircular pediment. The house was built in 1939 to a design by David Weaver, and is a prominent local example of Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Goodwin Field Administration Building is the main terminal and administrative building of the South Arkansas Regional Airport at Goodwin Field in El Dorado, Arkansas. Built in 1950 to a design by local architect John Abbott, it is a good but late example of the Art Moderne architectural style, and was a key element in the development of air transport infrastructure in the region of southwestern Arkansas. The building&#39;s large windows, smooth surfaces and rounded corners, and minimal exterior decoration all typify the International and Art Moderne styles popular at the time of its construction.</p><br>

<p>The Mathias J. Alten House and Studio is a single-family home located at 1593 East Fulton Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was owned and lived in by Mathias Alten, a German-American impressionist painter, from 1914 until his death in 1938. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mathias J. Alten was born in 1871 in what is now the Hunsrück in Germany. There, he served a three-year apprenticeship as a muralist before emigrating with his parents and family to Grand Rapids in 1888. He continued to paint, making a living by sign lettering, scenery painting, furniture decoration, and painting murals and frescoes. In 1895 he married Bertha Schwind and began working for her cabinet-maker family. He also continued painting, which proved popular, and in 1898, with the help of generous patrons, he attended art schools in Paris for a year. On his return to Grand Rapids, his family moved into rented quarters and Alten began painting full-time, using a series of downtown studios. By 1905 he was being invited to show at major institutions across the United States. In 1906, the Altens moved into a new Dutch Colonial house on Hope Street in Grand Rapids. However, by 1914, they were looking for a new place to live.</p><br>
<p>The land where the Alten House now stands was previously a working farm, first established in 1835. In the 1860s, the 40-acre section where this house now stands was purchased by W.H. Wood. It passed through multiple owners, and in 1904 it was purchased by Albert and Emily Stacey. Farming activity on the land eventually ceased, and in 1907 the Staceys built a new foursquare house on the property. The Staceys sold the property in 1914, and later that year Mathias Alten purchased it on a land contract. Mathias, Bertha, and their three daughters moved to the house, along with Bertha&#39;s mother.</p><br>
<p>After moving in, the Altens tore down the original farmhouse. A barn on the property was left standing until the 1920s. Alten also constructed a garage, and later a small honeymoon cottage for his daughters as they married. The land contract was paid off in 1927, after which the Altens platted the farm acreage and began slowly selling lots. When the Great Depression began, Alten gave up his rented studio space downtown, and remodeled part of his house into a painting studio. He remained both living and painting in the house until his death in 1938.</p><br>
<p>After Mathias Altens death, the last of the platted lots was sold, with Bertha Alten retaining three of them, including the one this house sits on. In the early 1940s, she went to live with her daughter, and rented out the foursquare Alten house. She later sold it; the house passed through a series of owners before being purchased by Altens granddaughter in 2002.</p><br>

<p>The Kingsley Building is a mixed use apartment building located at 1415 Lake Drive SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was originally a warehouse and office building called the Grand Rapids Storage and Van Company Building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1905, Fuller & Rice Lumber Company opened a yard at this location. In 1919, the company of Kammen & Vander Stel Packing and Storage (later Grand Rapids Storage and Van) was founded. In 1926, the company purchased the former Fuller & Rice lot, and hired architect George S. Kingsley to design a new headquarters building. The new building was intended to be a mixed-use space, combining storage facilities for household goods, offices, and commercial space. By the 1940s, the need for storage of household goods was in decline, and the company began renting out space in the building. In 1954, Zondervan Publishing began leasing several floors in the building. Over time, Grand Rapids Storage occupied a smaller and smaller percentage of the building space while Zondervans occupancy grew. Grand Rapids Storage ceased using the building in 1962, and passed out of existence a few years later. Zondervans purchased the building in 1975, by which time it had grown large enough to acquire multiple other buildings. They moved out in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The building was later acquired by Grand Rapids developer Bazzani Associates, and renovation into mixed-use space began in 2011. In 2016, renovation of the top floors into apartments started.</p><br>

<p>Dr. Willard M. Burleson began practicing medicine in Grand Rapids in 1899. He was joined by his brother, the practice grew, and he began specializing in the non-surgical treatment of "rectal disorders." In 1911, Burleson purchased an apartment building, the Wellington Flats, located at the present site of the Willard Building. He renamed it the Burleson Sanitarium and moved his practice into the building. At first, unused rooms were rented as hotel rooms, but by 1920 the practice had nine doctors and was using all the rooms. The practice moved out of the building in 1927. Burleson died the next year, and some of his partners went on the form the Ferguson Droste Ferguson Hospital while the Burleson Sanitarium continued to operate under the direction of Burleson&#39;s brother.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, Burleson&#39;s estate demolished the former Wellington Flats and hired contractor Owen-Ames-Kimball, and their in-house architect, Benjamin W. Hertel, to construct a new single-story commercial building at the site. The building was completed and open for business in 1930. Among the first tenants were a Kroger grocery and bakery, an antique shop, and a florist.

<p>The North Acton Cemetery, also known locally as the Forest Cemetery, is a historic cemetery Carlisle Road and North Street in North Acton, Massachusetts. Established no later than 1737, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest burial grounds, and remained in active use into the 20th century. It has more than 100 marked graves. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The North Acton Cemetery is located in northern Acton, occupying a roughly rectangular 0.5 acre parcel at the northern corner of Carlisle Road and North Street. The cemetery is bounded on all four sides by low fieldstone walls, with the main access through an opening delimited by granite posts on Carlisle Road. There is no formal circulation pattern, with clusters of grave markers scattered across the grounds, which are generally covered in grass or moss. There are 96 marked graves, and 113 known documented burials. Due to the uncertainty of when burials started on the site, there are probably unmarked graves as well.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is believed to have been in use no later than 1737, the year in which the town acquired the oldest portion of Woodlawn Cemetery, "the burying ground then in use near Deacon Healds" being too small and remote for the towns use. This cemetery contains burials of several members of the Heald family, whose 18th-century homstead still stands nearby. The town formally acquired this cemetery in 1760; the oldest marked grave is that of Mary Heald, dated 1758. The cemetery was enlarged in 1811, in part with funding from the neighboring town of Carlisle, some of whose residents were interred here.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, a sign was made for the site as an Eagle Scout project by Christopher Norton, a member of the Acton Boy Scouts Troop. The sign contains the plot plan with names of those known to have been buried there.</p><br>

<p>The Ross Building is a historic commercial building at 700 South Schiller Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a single-story masonry structure, whose front facade features five bay windows sheltered by awnings, and a high parapet with cornice above. A major extension to the rear is covered by a hip roof, and includes space historically used both by its retail tenants and as residences for owners and employees. The building was built in 1896–97, and originally housed a grocery store serving the area&#39;s predominantly German-American population. It has since gone through a significant number of other commercial uses; although its exterior retains many original features, its interior has been heavily modified.</p><br>
<p>The grocery store was owned and operated by Charles E. Ross, who was born in Germany in 1846 and immigrated in 1871, until 1930. The name of the grocery store is not clear from any available records, but it may have been called the Chestnut Store; a chestnut was a popular holiday item in Germany. The building was occupied by a mattress factory from 1935 to 1960. It was then bought by Moise Seligman Jr. (October 8, 1918 – July 10, 2009). which began construction in 1969. Original plans were to run it right through the Ross Building property, but the highways completion was delayed until 1985 due to protests about its route. Seligman may have helped influenced its final route to avoid the store. The building was renovated by Seligmans son (who died in 1973) into a pleasant home for himself and offices in the 1970s, and he operated an antique store there.</p><br>
<p>It was renovated again in the 1980s by an architectural firm, Polk, Stanley, Wilcox Architects which occupied it until their 2009 merger into a larger firm, the Wilcox Group.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A Lexington School building was constructed in this neighborhood in the 1860s. By 1913, however, the earlier school building was well out of date, and the Grand Rapids Board of Education decided to replace it. In early 1915, money was allocated and a plot of land just to the south of the 1860s school was obtained. The houses on the new plot were demolished, and Board architect Henry H. Turner designed a new elementary school. General contractors Horner & Kelly were hired to construct the building. This new school contained facilities reflecting the newest trends in education at the time, including a library, gymnasium, and a kindergarten. The library, in fact, was a branch of the Grand Rapids Public Library, an innovation particular to Grand Rapids. The new school opened in April 1915. The 1860s school was eventually demolished.</p><br>
<p>The school served as a neighborhood elementary until 1997, when it was converted into the Academia de Espanol, the district&#39;s Spanish immersion program school. As of 2015, the school was slated to be redeveloped into apartments.</p><br>
