Wabash Bridge (St. Charles, Missouri)

The Wabash Bridge carries a single track railroad from St. Louis County to the city of St. Charles. It is positioned next to the Discovery Bridge. It is used by the freight trains of Norfolk Southern Railway. History The original St. Charles Bridge, built in 1871 to carry the North Missouri Railroad, was the first bridge in St. Charles County. The bridge saw multiple incidents during its lifetime. In 1870, a steel column collapsed during construction resulting in the deaths of eighteen bridge workers. In 1879, a portion of the bridge collapsed during a train crossing. Eighteen train cars fell into the river resulting in five deaths. At 5:30pm on December 8, 1881, the bridge failed again during a train crossing resulting in freight cars falling into the river. An engineer, John Kirksby of Moberly, Missouri, died along with thirty-one cattle contained in the freight cars. In 1884, the Montana steamboat collided with the pier of the bridge. The steamboat could not be removed and was left in the river. It lies on the St. Louis County side of the Missouri River near the site of the first Wabash Bridge and can still be seen when the river is low. In 1936, the current Wabash Bridge was built about half a mile downstream from the old bridge, and the old bridge was demolished. In June 2013, the Missouri River rose rapidly overnight causing a crane mounted to a barge to collide into the truss structure of the bridge. The crane, subcontracted by The Walsh Group was working up river on the new I-70 Blanchette Memorial Bridge. Train traffic across the bridge was halted for the four days while the crane was against the structure. In 2016, owner operator Norfolk Southern Corporation began installing a new tie deck across the bridge with a completion date of 2020.

Columbia station (Wabash Railroad)

Columbia station is a historic train station and headquarters of Columbia Transit located in Columbia, Missouri, United States. The building was constructed in 1909 as the terminus of the Columbia Branch of the Wabash Railroad (now Columbia Terminal Railroad). It is a one-story, H plan, Tudor Revival style building constructed of locally quarried rock faced ashlar cut stone. In 2007, the building underwent renovation and restoration and was expanded to accommodate offices for Columbia's public transportation. The project, costing over $2.5 million, was intended to make the station a multi-model transportation center. It was certified at the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Level, meaning it meets national standards for energy efficiency and sustainable construction. The station is the busiest bus stop in Columbia and served as a pickup point for Megabus until September of 2015. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as the Wabash Railroad Station and Freight House. It is located in the North Village Arts District.

Waldo Water Tower (Kansas City, Missouri)

The Waldo water tower, officially called the Frank T. Riley Memorial, is a white, castle-like tower in the Waldo neighborhood of south Kansas City, Missouri, United States. Description The structure was a functioning water tower from 1920 until 1957. The tower was pictured each year from 1929 to 1946 in the World Book Encyclopedia as an early example of reinforced concrete. It was listed in 1975 as Missouri's first American Water Landmark by the American Water Works Association, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The 12-sided tower is 134 feet (41 m) tall, with walls 18 inches (460 mm) thick, and a capacity of 1,000,000 US gallons (3,800,000 L; 830,000 imp gal). The tower is topped by crenellations and 12 arched windows. It was constructed using a 14-day continuous pour. In August 1962, the remains of a 20-year-old man missing since the previous November were discovered in the bottom of the tower. To retrieve the body, a hole was created near the bottom of the tower. The location of that hole is still visible on the west side of the tower. The tower is currently protected from vandals and climbers by a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. In 2015, the Kansas City Council set aside $850,000 to renovate the tower.

Washington High School (Missouri)

Washington High School (WHS) is public high school in Washington, Missouri that is part of the School District of Washington. History Washington High School was established in 1900 in the former private high school building, with its class of 1900–1901 having only five graduates, and 47 students total.

Aitch would later teach physical education in the Washington School District as its first African-American teacher. The new Washington High School was erected in 1956, during the tenure of superintendent CJ Burger who would later name the school’s auditorium, with its first principal being Russel C. Nix. The new school had been in the works for years, and had even received funding from the graduating class of 1949. Dr. Donald Northington served as superintendent of Washington Schools from 1963 to 1990, and the school’s main lobby is dedicated as “Northington Lobby” in his honor. Russel C. Nix served as the first principal of the new Washington High School and is the dedicatee of the library and cafeteria addition known as “Nix Cafeteria.” Boundary The district includes portions of Franklin County.

Watkins Woolen Mill State Park and State Historic Site

Watkins Mill is a preserved woolen mill dating to the mid-19th century, located near Lawson, Missouri, United States. The mill is protected as Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site, which preserve its machinery and business records in addition to the building itself. It was designated a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 in recognition for its remarkable state of preservation. The historic site is the centerpiece of Watkins Mill State Park, which is managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. History Waltus L. Watkins established the 80-acre livestock farm he called Bethany Plantation in 1839. Watkins Mill was built in 1859-1860. Watkins built housing for the mill workers nearby, creating one of the first planned communities in North America. The community was effectively self-sufficient, the mill producing yarn and wool cloth. The mill operated at capacity until 1886, two years after Watkins' death. From 1886 to the turn of the twentieth century production declined. Nearly all of the mill machinery has been preserved, including a 65-horsepower steam engine that powered the factory. The site also includes the Watkins house, dating to 1850. The twelve-room, 2½-story house includes three staircases, the main stair detailed in carved walnut. It remained a Watkins family home until 1945. The Franklin School, or Octagonal School, is an octagonal schoolhouse built in 1856 and used by the Watkins family and their employees until the mid-1870s, when it became a residence for mill workers. The unusual octagonal building was built of locally manufactured brick on Watkins land. The Watkins family also donated the land for Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, built in 1871 to replace a log church dating to the 1850s. Of the $5000 construction cost, more than half was donated by Watkins. After going through several changes in ownership, the state of Missouri took possession of the property, creating a 1,442-acre (584 ha) state park in 1964. It was named a National Mechanical Engineering Historic Landmark in 1980. Gallery Activities and amenities The state parks offers camping, a 100-acre (40 ha) lake for fishing and swimming, a 3.8-mile (6.1 km) asphalt bicycling and walking trail that follows the shoreline of the lake, and a separate 3.5-mile (5.6 km) equestrian trail.

Western Auto Building

The Western Auto Building, first known as the Coca-Cola Building or the Candler Building, after owner Asa Griggs Candler, is located at 2107 Grand Boulevard, in the Crossroads neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. Built in 1914, it later served as the headquarters of the Western Auto Supply Company and became known by that association, especially when the company put a multi-story lighted sign on top of the building. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. After serving as office space, it was redeveloped in the early 21st century as part of Western Auto Lofts, a condominium association incorporating three adjacent buildings. History The twelve-story building was designed by Arthur C. Tufts & Co. and built in 1914 by the Swenson Construction Company, for the Coca-Cola Company. Asa Griggs Candler had bought the recipe for the drink in 1892, founded the company and rapidly expanded distribution of the product. He established new bases in the South and Midwest, and began to sell the soda drink in Cuba. First known as the Coca-Cola Building or Candler Building, this was one of several he had built through Coca-Cola. Candler's company headquarters occupied the elaborate Candler Building in Atlanta. This plot of land, originally purchased in 1913, is triangular, and the architect reflected that shape in his design for the 12-story building. It was built in the commercial style, a more utilitarian style than was typical of contemporary architecture. It later was used as the headquarters of the Western Auto Supply Company. Its multi-story lighted sign tops the building. The building and its sign are visible from much of the Crossroads and the surrounding neighborhoods, and from Interstate 35. This visibility, together with the structure's longevity, has made the Western Auto Building a city landmark. The sign was relit on July 13, 2018, at 8:45pm Central time, having been refurbished with funding from the condominium association. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It has been adapted as a residential loft condominium.

El Western Auto Building, primero conocido como Coca-Cola Building o Candler Building, en honor al propietario Asa Griggs Candler, está ubicado en 2107 Grand Boulevard, en el vecindario Crossroads de Kansas City (Estados Unidos). Fue construido en estilo neorrenacentista 1914. Más tarde sirvió como la sede de Western Auto Supply Company, y esa asociación se dio a conocer, especialmente cuando la empresa colocó un letrero luminoso de varios pisos en la parte superior del edificio. El edificio se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1988. Después de servir como espacio de oficinas, fue remodelado a principios del siglo XXI como parte de Western Auto Lofts, una asociación de condominios que incorpora tres edificios adyacentes. Historia El edificio de doce pisos fue diseñado por Arthur C. Tufts & Co. y construido en 1914 por Swenson Construction Company, para Coca-Cola Company. Asa Griggs Candler había comprado la receta de la bebida en 1892, fundó la empresa y expandió rápidamente la distribución del producto. Estableció nuevas bases en el sur y el medio oeste y comenzó a vender la bebida gaseosa en Cuba. Conocido primero como el Coca-Cola Building o el Edificio Candler Building, este fue uno de varios que había construido a través de Coca-Cola. La sede de la empresa de Candler ocupaba el elaborado Candler Building en Atlanta. Este terreno, comprado originalmente en 1913, era triangular, y el arquitecto reflejó esa forma en su diseño para el edificio de 12 pisos. El edificio fue construido en estilo comercial, un estilo más utilitario que el típico de la arquitectura contemporánea.​ Más tarde se utilizó como sede de la Western Auto Supply Company. Su letrero luminoso de varios pisos todavía remata el edificio. El edificio y su letrero son visibles desde gran parte de Crossroads y los vecindarios circundantes, así como para los conductores en la Interestatal 35. Esta visibilidad, junto con la longevidad de la estructura, ha convertido al Western Auto Building en un hito de la ciudad. El letrero se volvió a encender el 13 de julio de 2018 a las 8:45 p. m., hora central, y se renovó con fondos de la asociación de condominios actual. El edificio se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1988.​ Ha sido adaptado para su uso como loft residencial en condominio.​ Véase también Primeros rascacielos Referencias
