Banka

Banka je ustanova ili radna organizacija koja posreduje u novčanom prometu i novčanim poslovima. Najčešće se bavi uzimanjem i davanjem kredita (zajmova). Bankarstvo je gospodarska djelatnost koja se bavi posebnim poslovima u vezi s novcem i novčanim vrijednostima, a tako nazivamo i ekonomsku nauku o bankama i njihovu poslovanju. Banke su od velike važnosti za svako gospodarstvo. One mogu stvarati, prenositi i upravljati novcem. Također osiguravaju sigurniju alokaciju novčanih fondova od suficitnih prema deficitnim subjektima. Banke su svojim posredstvom u takvim poslovima smanjile troškove vezane za takve transfere. Stvaranje bankarstva seže daleko u povijest, u vrijeme antike. Međutim, svoj procvat doživljava u srednjem vijeku. Potrebno je razlikovati središnju banku i ostale banke. Središnja banka je glavna i određuje pravila koja sve ostale banke trebaju poštovati. Tri najvažnije karakteristike banaka 1. Banka je institucija koja prima novčane depozite od najšire javnosti 2. Najvažniji aktivni posao banaka je odobravanje kredita 3. Banke su institucije platnog prometa Poveznice Popis banaka u Hrvatskoj

Pliny and Adelia Fay House

Pliny and Adelia Fay House is a historic residence in Muscatine, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The house was included as a contributing property in the West Hill Historic District in 2008. History A native of Massachusetts, Pliny Fay was one of the first settlers in the town of Bloomington, later renamed Muscatine. He joined his brother Edward here in 1837, a year after the town was surveyed and platted. The brothers were involved in the economic, political, and social life of the new town. They opened the second pharmacy in town and operated it together until Edward died in 1848. Pliny took on Frederick H. Stone as a partner, and they remained in business for at least another ten years. Adelia St. John was another New Englander who settled in Bloomington in its early years. She was the sister of William and Hamilton St. John, who were early land speculators in the area. She and Pliny were married in 1840. The Fays become prosperous enough to buy this property on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in 1853. According to property tax records, the house was built the following year. Its architect and builder are unknown. The house had to be moved from its original location sometime between 1866 and 1874 because of severe erosion along the bluff. Pliny and Adelia lived here with their two daughters and one son. The two daughters were married in 1867. Pliny's mother lived with them until her death in 1871. The Fay's sold the house in 1872 or 1873 and relocated to Santa Cruz, California for health reasons. Architecture The Italianate style is found in the porch, vestibule, round-headed window on the main facade, and the bracketed eaves of the house. It also has a low pitched roof, Palladian window, and symmetrical interior chimneys that are more typical of the Georgian style. This combination of styles is an example of the fluidity and variety of the architecture found in Iowa's river towns. The inclusion of the Georgian style reflects the continuity between the frontier areas and the established settlements of New England from which the early settlers came. References

He abruptly left town with creditors in pursuit in the fall of the same year. It was bought by General John G. Gordon at a sheriff's sale in 1853, and he completed the house the following year. After his death in 1877 Cora Chaplin Weed, a Muscatine socialite, bought the house. She was noteworthy for her lavish parties. Doctors J.L. Klein and A.J. Weaver bought the house and converted it into a private hospital, which functioned here into the 1970s.

Cresco Opera House

The Cresco Opera House, also known as the Cresco Theater, is a historic building located in Cresco, Iowa, United States. The first known theater in Cresco was the Lyric Hall, which opened in 1875. It showed the first movies around 1900. The Family and the Cozy theaters opened around the turn of the century. The Lyric was condemned and torn down in 1913, and the other two were considered substandard. The Cresco Commercial Club held a fundraiser in early 1914 to build an opera house. The Cresco Opera House Company was organized around the same time. The building was completed by the end of the year, and it opened in 1915. It was designed by local engineer Joseph H. Howe, and constructed by local builder Martin Johnson. The musical High Jinks was the first performance held in the theater. The theater, which seats 425, was equipped to show movies and there was a community hall in the basement. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. There are local legends surrounding the Theater, some go as far as to claiming it's one of the most haunted buildings in the State. Apparitions of early 20th-century entertainers have been reported on stage, seemingly acting out their old routines. Witnesses have frequently spotted a solitary man sitting in the dark theater seats. Whenever staff or visitors try to approach him, he vanishes completely. On the upper levels and near the old catwalk, people have reported the chilling sound of a woman screaming, despite nobody being upstairs. (In 1914 or 1915 someone fell off the catwalk.) Disembodied footsteps are frequently heard pacing in the upper costume room (the former apartment above the lobby) and balcony after hours. Faint, inexplicable music has also been recorded after the final movie credits roll. The theater experiences frequent, unexplainable flickering of lights, phantom equipment disruptions, and moving objects, particularly in the basement and projection areas The venue embraced its reputation by hosting public paranormal events, including the May 2026 "Echoes of Cresco Theatre: A Psychic Experience". The theater is even available for private paranormal group rentals under staff supervision. References

Ulysses Simpson Grant Elementary School

Ulysses Simpson Grant Elementary School is a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Built in 1914, it replaced a school of the same name that had been built in 1876. The Neoclassical building was designed by Des Moines architect John W. Trafzer, and built by Buckler and Robertson. It was the first new school built in Oskaloosa in the 20th century, and part of an effort to rebuild or recondition the schools in the city. The addition of a multipurpose facility in 1957 followed the Mother's Crusade of 1956 to rebuild and modernize Oskaloosa schools system after World War II. It was designed by George Russell. Two other additions were built in 1978 and 1980. The building served the school system until 2004, after which the original portion of the building was converted into senior apartments and the newer additions into a senior center. The grounds have become a community park. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. References
Muscatine County Fairgrounds

The Muscatine County Fairgrounds are located in West Liberty, Iowa, United States. It hosts the annual Muscatine County Fair. The Muscatine County Historic Preservation Commission received a grant from the State of Iowa to study the fairgrounds in 2014. Most of it was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places as the West Liberty Fairgrounds Historic District in 2015. At the time of its nomination it consisted of 42 resources, which included 16 contributing buildings, two contributing sites, two contributing structures, 16 non-contributing buildings, and six non-contributing structures. Historic tax credits will be used to rehabilitate the historic buildings on the fairgrounds. History The Union District Agricultural Society began holding fairs in southwest Cedar County in 1863, and transferred them to West Liberty in 1871. The West Liberty Park Association was established three years later and bought the first 31 acres (13 ha) for the society in 1875. Additional land, which makes up the historic district, was purchased in 1889 and 1963. The initial wood-frame buildings were replaced by some of the present buildings beginning in 1915 with the Exhibition Hall. County fairs in rural areas were a showcase of livestock, agricultural products, home economics, and craftwork. Youth participation began to increase in the 1910s, the result of practical rural education. Structures geared to their activities were built beginning in the 1930s. As demand grew at about the same time for spectator space along the race track, a new grandstand was built in 1928. Because the size of the exhibitions grew in the mid-20th century, new and larger exhibition space was added in the 1960s, which included a new livestock judging pavilion in 1966. The race track initially sponsored horse racing throughout the summer months. The stalls and track were used for rental and training purposes. They were eventually replaced by auto races. In addition to the races and the fair, various other events are held at the fairgrounds. They include family reunions, picnics, holiday celebrations, and other community events.

Lewis Hotel

The Lewis Hotel is a historic building located in Cherokee, Iowa, United States. Robert A. Lewis was a New York City native who settled in the Cherokee area in 1872. He had a background in carpentry, but he established a nursery in Cherokee. After moving into town he started planning for his hotel around 1897. He served as the contractor for its construction, and it was completed two years later. The hotel remained in the care of his family until 1966. The three-story building was designed by the Cedar Rapids, Iowa architectural firm of Josselyn & Taylor in the Second Renaissance Revival style. Lewis built the hotel on an irregular, trapezoidal-shaped parcel. The odd shape of the parcelled to an irregular building layout, with a series of bays jutting out on the Fourth Street side - for this reason, the building's south (back) end is quite a bit wider than its north (front) end. The first-floor exterior is composed of limestone, while the upper two floors are brick. The first floor consists of 8,250 square feet of commercial space in three bays - central, east, and west. The lower basement level consists of 7,400 square feet in three bays - central, east, and west. The building sits on a trapezoid-shaped lot and because of that its facade on the Fourth Street side of the buildings in stepped back. The Illinois Central Railroad tracks were on the opposite of the street and the rail station was a block away, making this an ideal site for a hotel. A state hospital for the mentally ill was built in Cherokee in 1902, which also provided a source of hotel guests. The former hotel building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It was included as a contributing property in the Cherokee Commercial Historic District in 2005. In 2021, Zachary Z. Zoul, Owner and Managing Member, announced that Zoul Properties LLC had acquired the Historic Lewis Hotel. Plans include restoring its historic exterior elevation and interior configuration, specifically with the grand lobby and foyer. Gallery References

The Clark–Blackwell House is an historic residence located in Muscatine, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983. The house was included as a contributing property in the West Hill Historic District in 2008. History The property on which the house sits was purchased by William A. Clark, a Muscatine real estate and loan broker, in 1871. He lived in the house that had been built there previously until this house was completed in 1882. It was designed by Chicago architect Lorenzo D. Cleveland and built by George D. Magoon, a local contractor. Clark continued to live in the house at least until 1886. By 1889 he had relocated to New York City. John Scott Blackwell was another local real estate agent who lived in the house from 1902 until his death in 1930. His wife continued to live here until 1943. Harry F. Bowsman, a local businessman, lived here from 1946 to 1963. His wife continued to live in the house after his death. Architecture The Victorian eclectic style house is located on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. Its exterior ornamentation incorporates multiple stylistic elements, and is composed of Baltimore pressed brick that was laid in a running bond. It features red granite columns with limestone capitals that flank the main entrance, limestone window sills and lintels, a tin and limestone cornice, and a slate hip roof. Towers project from the east and west corners. The west corner tower is capped with a pyramidal roof and the east corner tower is capped with a hexagonal turret roof. References
W. Joseph Fuller House

W. Joseph Fuller House is a historic residence located in Muscatine, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982. History Four Fuller brothers, German immigrants, were already living in Muscatine in 1837. One of them, Henry, was a brick maker. He had six children and his sons Joseph and Anthony followed him in the brick making business. Joseph bought this lot in 1877 and had the house built the following year. He lived here until at least 1892. City directories from the late 19th-century also list this as the location of his pottery manufacturing business. Architecture The house is a vernacular interpretation of the Italianate style. While it is similar in size and age with other houses in the neighborhood, its brick exterior distinguishes it from the frame houses that surround it. The exterior is a soft brick that is painted. The structure is a hipped roof box, and features large round-arched windows. The round arches are composed of brick with stone keystones. Large brackets with pendants band the cornice at the roof line of the two-story structure. References
