The Clearing Folk School

The Clearing Folk School, usually called just The Clearing, is a 125-acre (0.51 km2) continuing education institution located near Ellison Bay, Wisconsin, United States. It was founded by Jens Jensen in 1935. A successful landscape architect, Jensen began acquiring a private summer estate in 1919; the estate, re-landscaped by Jensen, became the nucleus of the school. Jensen was inspired by the folk high schools of his native Denmark. History Jensen lived in The Clearing as a widower from 1935 until 1951. After his death, The Clearing was operated by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau for 37 years as a rural retreat, conference center, and continuing-education institution. Following The Clearing's independence as a nonprofit corporation in 1988, The Clearing has continued to fulfill these roles, with a concentration on adult education and as a meeting place for senior citizens. The Clearing describes itself as a place for "classes in natural sciences, fine arts, skilled crafts and humanities." The Clearing's emphasis on "regional ecology" is seen as providing continuity with founder Jensen's own aspirations and beliefs. Current status The appreciation of "regional ecology" from a landscape perspective, a focus of continuing education at The Clearing, has helped to drive the emerging professions of landscape ecology and spatial ecology. As of 2012, the Clearing offers classwork throughout the year, except for March, April, and December. Day-to-week-length appreciation classes center on collective learning through discussion, conversation, and hands-on work. During the high season (May–October), the folk school specializes in weeklong appreciation classes; in November, January, and February, day classes and daylong workshops can be experienced. The Clearing Folk School was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974 as site #74000080.

The Pfister Hotel

The Pfister Hotel is a luxury hotel in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The Pfister Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. History Owned by Guido Pfister and his son, Charles F. Pfister, it was opened in 1893 at a cost of over $1 million ($35.8 million in 2025). Designed by architect Henry C. Koch in Romanesque Revival style, it had features uncommon in its time like fireproofing, electricity, and thermostat controls. The hotel was purchased in 1962 by hospitality magnate Ben Marcus, who renovated the hotel and added a 23-story addition behind the building without compromising the original building itself, and continues to be owned by the Marcus Corporation. The Pfister Hotel has the largest hotel collection of Victorian art in the world. The hotel has held the AAA Four Diamond award since 1978. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the East Side Commercial Historic District. The 1986 National Register nomination states:The Pfister is the last nineteenth century grand hotel remaining in downtown Milwaukee. Local materials were used in its construction with rock-faced, Wauwatosa limestone for the first two floors and cream brick for the third through eighth floors. Indiana limestone and terra cotta were used as trim. Changes to the exterior include the removal of the massive stone portico on the Jefferson Street facade and the closing of an entrance at the southeast corner. The main lobby has been refurbished and restored to resemble its original appearance." Members of the Los Angeles Dodgers do not stay at the hotel, when they are in Milwaukee to play the Milwaukee Brewers, due to the legend the hotel is haunted. Some MLB players have claimed they have had paranormal experiences at the Pfister Hotel. Gallery See also List of Historic Hotels of America References

Thomas A. Greene Memorial Museum

The Thomas A. Greene Memorial Museum, also known as Greene Geological Museum or Greene Museum, is a mineral and fossil museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, administered by the Department of Geosciences at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Original building The original fireproof museum building, designed by noted Milwaukee architect, Alexander Eschweiler, held the collection of Thomas A. Greene, Milwaukee druggist and amateur geologist, plant collector, and fossil collector. In 1913, Greene's heirs, Mrs. H.A.J. Upham and Mr. Howard Greene, had the facility built to house his collection, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993, in recognition of the collection's significance as a largely intact amateur geological collection. The collection has been removed from the building, and is now displayed and housed in Lapham Hall on the UWM campus. The building has been renovated and is currently used as academic space for UWM's Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies. Collection Greene amassed most of the fossils in his collection, totaling about 75,000 specimens, during the 1880s and 1890s. The majority of these specimens come from the Silurian Racine Dolomite Formation and the Devonian Milwaukee Formation in the vicinity of southeastern Wisconsin. Preserved mostly as internal molds in dolomite, these fossils include a wide range of Silurian marine invertebrate groups including trilobites, crinoids, tabulate and rugose corals, brachiopods, cephalopods, and gastropods. Devonian fossils consist mainly of fish and plant remains. All of these fossils were collected from quarry outcrops that no longer exist, making the collection irreplaceable. The mineral collection contains a wide range of minerals and ores from localities throughout North America, as well as some from overseas. It includes exquisite examples of amethyst, apatite, stibnite, copper, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, cobalt, nickel, mercury compounds, aluminum compounds, malachite, lapis-lazuli, tourmaline, garnet, labradorite, fluorite, beryl, and turquoise, among others. Perhaps the highlight of the mineral collection is a piece of iron meteorite that landed in nearby Washington County, Wisconsin. It was given to Greene by the scientist Increase A. Lapham, the namesake of Lapham Hall. Greene collaborated with another amateur, Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day, whose home in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, the Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day House, has also been designated a National Historic Landmark.

Thomas B. Hart House

The Thomas B. Hart House is a Gothic Revival-styled house built in the 1840s in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Its most distinctive feature is the many elaborate bargeboards decorated with various patterns. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and is today one of Wauwatosa's oldest surviving houses. It is currently a private residence. History Wauwatosa was once called "Hart's Mills," named for Charles Hart, who built a grist mill there in 1837 with financing from his brother Thomas back east. This house bears Thomas's name, but it wasn't associated with him until thirty years after it was built. The house was probably built in the early 1840s, shortly after Hart's Mills was founded. The builder is unknown and the first occupant is uncertain, but it may have been Perley J. Shumway, a blacksmith who also owned a tavern called the Wauwatosa House, which may have been part of the Underground Railroad. Shumway was active in politics and was elected to Wisconsin's State Assembly in 1848. In 1856 he sold the house to Cortland D. Rose. In 1874, after a few more changes of ownership, Thomas B. Hart bought the house. Thomas had joined his brother in Hart's Mills early on, helping to operate the grist mill, dealing in real estate, and serving on the first town board of supervisors in 1837. Thomas and his son T.W. owned the house until around 1912. Later Dr. Stanley J. Seeger bought the house. He was Chief of Staff at Columbia Hospital and Children's Hospital, a nationally acclaimed surgeon, and a pioneer in burn treatment. In 1937 the Hemps bought the house and divided it into apartments. In 1982 Roy and Mary Jo Cole bought the house, and began restoring it. The house was originally smaller than now, two stories with a T-shaped foot-print. Over the years, many additions have been made. (The NRHP nomination among the references below contains an educated guess at how the floorplan grew over the years.) As of a 1912 photograph, the front facade looked much like today. The bay window, the lancet-arched windows, and the style of the porch are all hallmarks of Gothic Revival style, as are the bargeboards. The elaborate bargeboards decorating the gable ends are the striking feature of the house, displaying several designs. The board over the front door and several other gables have a quatrefoil design cut with a scroll saw. On the south gable the board is an oakleaf pattern. On the southeast gable is a trefoil floral pattern. The "barn" behind the house is decorated with a board with a simple scroll design. But the NRHP nomination says that of the bargeboards, "[t]he most spectacular is over the lancet arched window. It is a hand-carved, delicately rounded, lacey scroll." The Hart house is the oldest house on the earliest residential street in Wauwatosa. It is located within the Church Street Historic District. References
Thomas Cook House (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

The Thomas Cook House is a High Victorian Italianate-styled house built in 1875 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, by pioneer stone merchant Cook. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 1853 Thomas Cook began a limestone quarry business, supplying building materials for local construction. In 1860 he and Edwin Hyde formed the Cook and Hyde Stone Company, which over the years supplied stone for the Mackie Building, the Plankinton House Hotel, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the Milwaukee Club, the Milwaukee Central Library, and Forest Home Cemetery Chapel, among others. Many of these projects were designed by E. Townsend Mix. Cook continued his association with Mix in this house, which he had built in 1875 as a double-house rental property. The building is 2.5 stories, on a foundation of rusticated block. Walls are cream brick. Some windows are topped with multi-colored arches, some are bays, one is lancet-arched. The roof is chalet-style, supported by scroll-sawn brackets and a sawtooth frieze board. The exterior has changed little from the time it was built. References
Thomas P. Hardy House

The Thomas P. Hardy House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Prairie School home in Racine, Wisconsin, United States, that was built in 1905. The street-facing side of the house is mostly stucco, giving the residents privacy from the nearby sidewalk and street, but the expansive windows on the other side open up to Lake Michigan. Description and history Perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, the house is built vertically up and down the hillside, and has a partial basement. The design of the seven art glass windows on the first floor facing the street is an abstraction of the floorplan of the house itself. Most of the windows are either on the top level, or on the lake side. Not visible from the street side are the terrace, one story below street level, and the two-story living room which, with its upper-story balcony, opens the entire living quarters to the lake view. From 2013 to 2015, a renovation was completed on the home, including a color change back to its original terra cotta. This house demonstrates Wright's ability to fit a design to a site. Most of the homes on this street are quite close to the sidewalk, since the hill drops away from the street and towards the lake very quickly, but Wright's entryway for the Hardy house is literally at the line of the sidewalk. Reception The house has been considered one of Wright's classics. Henry Russell Hitchcock writes "Other dramatic possibilities of steep sites above water for these winged… houses are to be found in the Johnson house at Delavan Lake [Wisconsin] and the Scudder project for one of the islands at the Sault.… But the masterpiece is the Hardy house of 1905 at Racine." Kenneth Frampton states "The Hardy House … is the purest formulation that Wright was ever to make of a symmetrical, frontalized house." It remains a private residence.

Casa Thomas P. Hardy

Thomas P. Hardy House es una casa de estilo prairie school, diseñada por Frank Lloyd Wright en Racine, Wisconsin, Estados Unidos, que fue construida en 1905.​ El lado de la casa que da a la calle es principalmente de estuco, lo que brinda a los residentes privacidad de la acera y la calle cercanas, pero las amplias ventanas del otro lado se abren al lago Míchigan.​ Diseño Construida en 1905 sobre un acantilado con vistas al lago Míchigan, la casa está construida verticalmente hacia arriba y hacia abajo de la ladera y tiene un sótano parcial.​ El diseño de las siete ventanas de vidrio artístico en el primer piso que dan a la calle es una abstracción del plano de la casa en sí.​ La mayoría de las ventanas están en el nivel superior o en el lado del lago. No son visibles desde el lado de la calle la terraza, un piso debajo del nivel de la calle, y la sala de estar de dos pisos que, con su balcón en el piso superior, abre toda la vivienda a la vista del lago. De 2013 a 2015, se completó una renovación en la casa, incluido un cambio de color a su terracota original.​ Esta casa demuestra la capacidad de Wright para adaptar un diseño a un sitio. La mayoría de las casas en esta calle están bastante cerca de la acera, ya que la colina se aleja de la calle y se dirige al lago muy rápidamente, pero la entrada de Wright para la casa Hardy está literalmente en la línea de la acera. Algunos consideran que la casa es uno de los clásicos de Wright. Henry-Russell Hitchcock escribe: "Otras posibilidades dramáticas de sitios empinados sobre el agua para estas casas aladas ... se encuentran en la casa Johnson en Delavan Lake (Wisconsin) y el proyecto Scudder para una de las islas en Sault... Pero la obra maestra es la casa Hardy de 1905 en Racine".​ Galería Véase también Anexo:Obras de Frank Lloyd Wright Referencias Bibliografía Hertzberg, Mark. Hardy House de Frank Lloyd Wright .
