The Felix Valle House State Historic Site

The Gamble House is an excellent example to mark the pinnacle of the American Arts and Crafts Style or the Craftsman style in America. The house and furnishings were built for a very wealthy couple, David and Mary Gamble of the Proctor & Gamble Company entirely by Charles and Henry Greene with specific attention to detail and craftsmanship. The brothers were inspired by the concept of a total work of art, which was the primary focus during the Arts and

103Federal Street is a rectangular, two-story, single-pile, three-bay, parapet-roofed building constructed circa 1900. It is constructed primarily of brick with a decorative metal, Italianate cornice. 103 Federal Street comprises one of four storefronts within the same building. Each store front is divided by a brick wall. The storefront at 103 Federal Street was heavily altered in the 1950s and is now incongruous with its neighboring storefronts. The first floor contains a full-width storefront with a central door flanked by two-picture windows in metal frames. The second story contains two evenly-spaced modern vinyl one-over-one, double-hung sash windows. The second floor has been clad in horizontal vinyl siding

On March 5, 1922, with 24 members in attendance at a meeting held in the train depot on Hutchins Boulevard in the Village of San José, Texas, which was a suburb of San Antonio, Texas, San José Baptist Church began. The Church then rented a building for several months on Commercial Avenue across the street from the Terrell Wells Post Office. Later in 1923, the Church rented a two-room house from the Harlandale School District.

In 1780 thel house caught on fire, then restored to continue on its life of history.

The Society of Mexican War Veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic wanted a home for war veterans. The Veterans’ Home Association was formed, fund-raising began, and the search for a suitable site in the countryside to build a home where veterans could live and work in a beautiful place. William Gibbs, hearing of interest in purchasing land for the home, quickly assembled 910 acres from local Yountville pioneers and sold the property to the Veterans’ Home Association for $17,500 in 1882.

She gestures us inside and I could cringe at the aroma alone. The smell of channelle makes me think someone dropped a whole bottle. Other than that, though, the view, at first sight, reminds me of my grandparents. My grandma would bake the cookies and while my grandpa would munch on them, she would put everything back where it belongs and makes sure everything is left neat. The mahogany table is perfect for two people, maybe four and the kitchen space is just the right size for my cooking needs. A maple red door frame leads to the living room and the antique upright piano the color of amber is the first insight. Every one of the eighty-eight keys and its leather padded bench contributes to its value.

The home dates back to the 1890s. State records verify that Douglass spent $1,800 to buy land from the Centennial Methodist Episcopal Church and built five houses on the street. The homes are now known as the "Douglas Place" homes. While they have been updated with electricity and running water, much of the original row house construction remains.

Monticello is considered one of the greatest architectural feats for the time in which it was built. Thomas Jefferson built a home that was years beyond its time. He included sunlights to let in the sun for extra lighting. Jefferson also was one of the first people to go away from the block style building with a hall down the middle and rooms off to the left and right. He created a central room with a circular path going around the rooms. This is one of the beginnings of the

The terms were good for GIs: $25 down for the cost of the blueprints, a 25 year mortgage, and payments of $57.55 a month. The next closest home in price they considered was in Willow Glen, but they could not qualify for the loan. So the Stanleys—now a family of four, moved out to a street called Paseo Flores on July 7, 1950. My brother was three years old, my sister was four months old, Mom was 25, and Dad was all of

The church has always stood at 323 New Orleans Avenue. It has been enlarged and rebuilt over the years to include the sanctuary, fellowship hall and foyer, Doland said. Vinyl siding and brick veneer were added to the sanctuary and fellowship hall in 1973 and memorial windows installed in

Jefferson started Monticello when his father Peter Jefferson passed away leaving his son close to five thousand acres on top of an eight hundred sixty eight mountain top. Jefferson based his house on what he had seen and experienced in France. The second Monticello was closely completed in 1809 close to the end of Jefferson’s presidency. Jefferson tried to incorporate more of the French way this time away, one of the things changed was a dome was placed over the parlor being the first American home with this kind of feature. Jefferson crafted his house to look like The Hotel de Salm where he visited while he spent his time in France, the three-story building was only one story tall. To achieve this effect, windows in the second-story bedrooms are on the floor level, so that from the outside, they appear to be an extension of the first-floor windows. On the third floor, light is provided by skylights invisible from the ground. After his revisions to the house Jefferson realized his stairs would actually have to be built a lot smaller than initially planned causing them to be death traps waiting. Jefferson called Monticello his "essay in architecture.” His house was completely finished after 40 years from when he started it.

The apartment building at 67-35 Ridge Blvd. was simple, yet elegant. It was one of the oldest buildings on the block, even withstanding the fact that most of the buildings in my neighborhood were far from their youth. Bay Ridge, my neighborhood, was founded by the first Dutch settlers in the mid-17th century. The land was initially used for farming and agriculture, until the 1830’s when the population boomed and housing development began. My quaint building was built in 1931 and it still has, to this day, its 18th century crystal, chandelier hanging in the lobby. It’s also the only building that hs a doorman waiting for you every morning with a smile. That isn’t to say that I grew up rich, in fact, my family has always been on the lowest rung of the financial ladder. My mom was Kalish’s, the building’s owner, Mitzvah and never raised the rent for her when it was mandatory for

Before Sturgis and Brigham began to renovate the house they decided to move it from Mt. Auburn Street to where it is now on Marshall Street. Then the modernization process begun. Brigham's plan was to turn this house in to a 2-family home. The chimney base could not be moved to the new location so the only part of the chimney

living room would have a large wood burning fireplace and beautiful rugs on the floor mad from the finest materials. There would also be a secret room for the grandfather and his wealth to keep it safe. I imagine the home old wood and smoke. The home, although big, has dark wood wanes coating. It is very dark inside, which is kind of depressing.
