Southport Beach House

The Southport Beach House is a historic public building completed in 1940 at Southport Park on Lake Michigan in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. History Kenosha had aimed to develop an extensive park and beach system ever since the Kenosha Park Association formed in 1906. By 1922, most of the land that would become part of the Kenosha parks system had been donated by wealthy residents. However, outside of Library Park, this land was largely undeveloped until the Great Depression of the 1930s, when many of Kenosha's industrial workers found themselves without work. One of the New Deal programs, the Works Progress Administration, offered funds for municipalities seeking to develop public park projects. Kenosha successfully received grants for re-purposing building materials from condemned buildings into park structures, and employed over 1000 workmen in the project. The use of re-purposed materials caused the resulting beach house to enjoy a mix of contemporary architectural styles and revivals. The exterior blends Tudor Revival details with an overarching Mediterranean Revival theme. Marble and stone from an old post office was used to create an Art Deco ballroom, featuring the geometric ornamentation common to the style. The Southport Beach House remains open to the public for events, although it no longer functions a beach house. On January 8, 2003, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It was damaged in the June 2012 North American derecho, casting doubt on its long-term viability.

Cooksville Cheese Factory

The Cooksville Cheese Factory in Evansville is a remnant of Wisconsin's early dairy industry. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. In 1875 Benjamin Hoxie started a business in Cooksville to buy milk from local farmers and make cheese. The enterprise was an agricultural cooperative, with the patrons (farmers) sharing ownership and Hoxie the proprietor of the factory. It could process the milk of 600 cows. The business did not last many years, selling the cheese-making equipment in 1884. The factory is a simple 2-story frame building on a limestone basement, with a one-story wing to the side. The design is simple and utilitarian, other than short cornice returns. In addition to making cheese, the building was a social hub, a place where farmers met, and possibly the Good Templars. By 1894 it was used as housing. References Further reading The Historic Cooksville Cheese Factory by Larry Reed is a more detailed account of Benjamin Hoxie, the successes of his cheese factory, and why it soon ceased operations.

St. John's Lutheran Church (Evansville, Wisconsin)

The St. John's Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America located in Evansville, Wisconsin. It was originally founded in June 1936 under the name First Lutheran, but took the name St. John's in 1938 after they purchased the old St. John's Episcopal Church, which featured that name over the door. By April 1951, the congregation was outgrowing the First Street church and plans were laid for a new building. The present site was purchased in 1956 and ground was broken in 1957, with the first service held in the new church on June 15, 1958. Architecture Noted architect John Steinmann designed much of the 1957 church, drawing inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright. It was added to the State Register of Historic Places in 2011 and to the National Register of Historic Places the following year. References External links Official website

Racine Harbor Lighthouse and Life Saving Station

The Racine Harbor Lighthouse and Life Saving Station is a complex of navigation aids begun by the U.S. government in the 1860s near the harbor of Racine, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. To guide ships into Racine's harbor, the federal government in 1837 built the first lighthouse at the mouth of the Root River, with a light on a 34 feet (10 m) tower and a lightkeeper's house. Those structures no longer exist. In the early 1860s the pier was extended, and a new lighthouse and keeper's quarters were begun on a rock-filled crib 200 feet (61 m) offshore. They were completed in 1866 and served for 40 years. In 1903 the light was moved from the old lighthouse to a free-standing 120-foot steel tower, and the tower of the old lighthouse was capped with a hip roof. The life-saving station was added in 1903, a 2-story building with a 3-story square, pyramidal-roofed lookout tower. Part of the station was a frame boathouse. A team from the Life-Saving Service lived in this station, and conducted search and rescue operations along the Milwaukee-Kenosha coast and 40 miles (64 km) out into Lake Michigan.

Phare et station de sauvetage de Racine Harbor

Le phare de Racine Harbor (en anglais : Racine Harbor Lighthouse and Life Saving Station), était un phare du lac Michigan situé au port de Racine dans le Comté de Racine, Wisconsin. Le phare et la station de sauvetage sont inscrits au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 9 septembre 1975 sous le n° 75000077. Historique Le phare Pour guider les navires dans le port de Racine, le gouvernement fédéral a construit en 1837 le premier phare à l'embouchure de la rivière Root, une tour carrée d'une hauteur de 10 m et une maison de gardien de phare. Ces structures n'existent plus. Au début des années 1860, la jetée a été agrandie et un nouveau phare et les quartiers du gardien ont été construits sur une plateforme de pierre. Les travaux ont été achevés en 1866 et ont servi pendant 40 ans. En 1903, la lumière a été déplacée de l'ancien phare vers une tour en acier indépendante, et la tour de l'ancien phare a été coiffée d'un toit en pointe. Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-683 . La station de sauvetage La station de sauvetage a été ajoutée en 1903, un bâtiment de deux étages avec une tour d'observation carrée de trois étages au toit pyramidal. Une partie de la station était un hangar à bateaux.

Stockbridge (Volk)

Stockbridge Indianer heißen die Mitglieder einer indianischen Gruppe, die im 18. Jahrhundert in der heutigen Stadt Stockbridge in Massachusetts lebte. Sie bestand überwiegend aus Angehörigen der Mahican sowie den Resten benachbarter Stämme. Geschichte Die Housatonic, eine Gruppe der Mahican, lebten im westlichen Massachusetts und nordwestlichen Connecticut, und war nach dem King Philip’s War durch Flüchtlinge aus dem Osten und vom Hudson River Valley im Westen stark angewachsen, darunter Mahican, Wappinger, Wyachtonok und ein paar Angehörige anderer Connecticut-Stämme. Um 1720 hatte der Stamm das meiste seines Landes an die Kolonie Massachusetts zur Nutzung durch die weißen Siedler verkauft und behielt zwei Gebiete für sich selbst, das eine hieß Skatekook in Sheffield am Housatonic River, das andere Wnahktukook, rund 14 Kilometer weiter stromaufwärts. Im Jahr 1734 begann der Missionar John Sergeant mit Erlaubnis des Stammes dort zu arbeiten. Weil sie die beiden Ländereien gern vereinigen wollten, tauschten die Housatonic das Land in Skatekook gegen Flächen in der Nähe von Wnahktukook, ein Gebiet, das man danach Stockbridge nannte. Die Gründung erfolgte durch den Staat und die Kirche und es begann in der Stadt ein Experiment, das Weißen und Indianern das Zusammenleben ermöglichen sollte. Die Ländereien waren bis zum Jahr 1740 Gemeinschaftsbesitz, danach wurden sie jedoch aufgeteilt. Im Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg (1775–1783) wuchsen die Konflikte zwischen den weißen und indianischen Teilnehmern des Versuchs eklatant und die weißen Siedler drängten die Indianer zuerst aus der Stadtregierung, dann ganz aus Stockbridge hinaus. Das Experiment war damit zu Lasten der Indianer gescheitert. Am Ende der Amerikanischen Revolution waren die Stockbridge-Indianer dezimiert, genötigt ihr Land zu verkaufen und unerwünscht in ihrem Dorf, wo die Weißen das Regiment übernommen hatten. Die entmutigten Überreste der Stockbridge-Indianer, insgesamt 420 Stammesangehörige, nahmen eine Einladung der Oneida an und zogen 1789 nach einem Ort am Oneida Creek im Bundesstaat New York, den sie New Stockbridge (heute Stockbridge in New York) nannten. Diese Gruppe wanderte um 1820 ins Shawano County nach Wisconsin zu den dort lebenden Munsee-Delaware. Heute ist der Stamm unter dem Namen Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians of Wisconsin bekannt, das von ihnen bewohnte Reservat heißt Stockbridge-Munsee Community und zählte 2.012 Stammesangehörige beim Zensus aus dem Jahr 2000.

George Bray Neighborhood Center

The George Bray Neighborhood Center, formerly the United Laymen Bible Student Tabernacle or Union Tabernacle, is located at 924 Center Street in the School Section neighborhood of Racine, Wisconsin. It was built in 1927, designed by architect J. Mandor Matson, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Starting in 1924, members of various evangelical churches in Racine joined for inter-church Bible studies. They called themselves the Racine Laymen's Bible Union, and they took turns meeting in different churches. In 1925 they bought a lot for their own building. They hired an architect, and on May 15, 1927, the new building was "dedicated to the promotion of... Bible teaching and Gospel preaching, with earnest advocacy and generous support of the world-wide mission." The building is a red brick auditorium with a 2-story brick facade. The facade is trimmed with two ranks of pilasters topped with finials. Above them all is a large tympanum, an arch filled with concentric arches of brick. It was designed by J. Mandor Matson, a Norwegian immigrant who practiced in Racine. The style is classed as Art Deco, but the United Laymen probably saw the Trinity in the three circles within the large circle, and they probably saw candles in the pilasters topped with finials, perhaps representing their mission to be a light to the world. The Racine Bible Church occupied the building until 1961 or 1962. It housed the local Boy Scouts from 1965 to 1969. The Franklin Neighborhood Association, a community center organization, moved into the building in 1969. The community center was named for George Bray, then-retiring head of the center, city alderman, and founder of the Racine NAACP chapter, in 1980. The center lost state funding in 2015, and a lack of funds forced it to close in September 2016. It reopened on February 23, 2017, as a branch of the Racine Family YMCA, in a ceremony that featured Racine native and NBA player Caron Butler. References

The modern structure was built in the Romanesque revival style in the early 20th century. The actual church was founded in 1843 by Rev. Martin Kundig as a mostly German-immigrant congregation. He built a log structure in 1844–1845. A decade later, a frame church was built, but was later destroyed by fire in 1930. The present-day stone church was constructed "A.D. 1903", as indicated from an inscription on the corner of the building.

University of Wisconsin Madison Law Building

The law building is located on Bascom Hill on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus, at 975 Bascom Mall, Madison, Wisconsin. The University of Wisconsin Law School offers two major programs and one doctorate program to the almost 800 students that make up the student body. History The College of Law was started in 1868, but the first building wasn't built until 1893. The first building was a maroon Castle like structure. It was torn down in the spring of 1963 to make way for an addition to the old building. The second building was built in 1938; it is a square brick building on the south side of Bascom Hill. It was originally built to relieve congestion from the first building. Since the first building had been constructed, the way law was being taught had changed significantly. Law was now being taught more in small classrooms instead of large lecture rooms. It's a six-story building and cost $1.5 million to build. The building is 94,000 square feet, and holds 100,000 volumes of textbooks. The building was then also built specially to not burn down so that the many textbooks, documents, and other papers stay safe and are not lost. A main attraction for this part of the building is the mural painted in the old reading room in the library. The mural is called The Freeing of the Slaves and is 12 by 35 feet, with the central figure standing 11 feet tall. The newest addition to the law building was finished in 1996. It is 138,000 square feet and cost $16.1 million to build. It was 15 years in design and management and took two years to construct. It added faculty offices, large classrooms, lecture rooms, and two mock trial rooms. Also the addition added 200,000 new spaces for textbooks in the library. It is combined to the old building to allow easy movement between buildings. The engineers called it "The Hanger" because of its appearance; giant glass windows surround the library to allow the natural light to enter. References "Law Building." The Wisconsin Alumni Magazine.
