The York Lodge No . 563 is a historic Masonic lodge building on the northern side of Columbus , Ohio , United States . Constructed at the beginning of the twentieth century , it was home to the first Masonic lodge in its part of the city . Its architecture makes it a prominent part of the local built environment , and the building has been named a historic site . Masons established their first Columbus presence in the downtown area , but the northern neighborhoods were harder to penetrate ; multiple attempts to start a northern lodge were made , but the first efforts failed . York Lodge 563 finally broke this trend , becoming the first northern lodge to last more than a short time . When their strength had grown to the point that they could construct their own lodge building , they contracted with the architectural firm of Stribling and Lum to design the present building , which was completed in 1915 . Built of brick with elements of limestone and metal , the lodge building is typical of early twentieth-century variants of the Italianate style . Few modifications have been made to the ornamental interior , and the original stained glass windows have likewise been preserved .

In the law regulating historic districts in the United States , a contributing property or contributing resource is any building , object , or structure which adds to the historical integrity or architectural qualities that make the historic district , listed locally or federally , significant . Government agencies , at the state , national , and local level in the United States , have differing definitions of what constitutes a contributing property but there are common characteristics . Local laws often regulate the changes that can be made to contributing structures within designated historic districts . The first local ordinances dealing with the alteration of buildings within historic districts was in Charleston , South Carolina in 1931 . Properties within a historic district fall into one of two types of property : contributing and non-contributing . A contributing property , such as a 19th-century mansion , helps make a historic district historic , while a non-contributing property , such as a modern medical clinic , does not . The contributing properties are key to a historic district 's historic associations , historic architectural qualities , or archaeological qualities . A property can change from contributing to non-contributing and vice versa if significant alterations take place .
Dayton ( /ˈdeɪtən/ ) is the sixth-largest city in the state of Ohio and the county seat of Montgomery County . A small part of the city extends into Greene County . The 2018 U.S. census estimate put the city population at 140,640 , while Greater Dayton was estimated to be at 803,416 residents . This makes Dayton the fourth-largest metropolitan area in Ohio and 63rd in the United States . Dayton is within Ohio 's Miami Valley region , just north of Greater Cincinnati . Ohio 's borders are within 500 miles ( 800 km ) of roughly 60 percent of the country 's population and manufacturing infrastructure , making the Dayton area a logistical centroid for manufacturers , suppliers , and shippers . Dayton also hosts significant research and development in fields like industrial , aeronautical , and astronautical engineering that have led to many technological innovations . Much of this innovation is due in part to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its place in the community . With the decline of heavy manufacturing , Dayton 's businesses have diversified into a service economy that includes insurance and legal sectors as well as healthcare and government sectors . Along with defense and aerospace , healthcare accounts for much of the Dayton area 's economy . Hospitals in the Greater Dayton area have an estimated combined employment of nearly 32,000 and a yearly economic impact of $ 6.8 billion . It is estimated that Premier Health Partners , a hospital network , contributes more than $ 2 billion a year to the region through operating , employment , and capital expenditures .
The Godwin-Knowles House ( also known as the Masonic Temple ) is a historic former house in downtown East Liverpool , Ohio , United States . A Colonial Revival structure built in 1890 , it has played important parts both in the city 's industry and in its society . The house was constructed for a Mr. Goodwin , a leader in the pottery industry . At this time , pottery was East Liverpool 's dominant industry ; potters began to exploit favorable types of clay soil in the 1830s , and several decades later , it was a deep part of the city 's identity as well as its economy . :5 Like most buildings in the city 's central business district , :2 the house is a masonry structure : its foundation is stone , and its walls are built primarily of brick . After Goodwin left the house , it became the home of his nephew , Homer Knowles , who was likewise a major figure in the city 's pottery industry . Knowles only lived in the house for a short time , selling it to the city 's Masonic lodge in 1910 . Soon after buying the house , the Masons modified the house for their purposes : they enclosed the front porch and expanded the overall facade of the building to provide more interior room for their meetings . These modifications were carried out in the spirit of the original construction : the same types of materials were used as when the house was erected , and additions such as the extended roof and new dormers were built to appear identical to the original features . In 1985 , the Godwin-Knowles House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places , due to its significance in local history . Due to the care exercised by the Masons in their 1910s renovations and few changes after that date , it closely resembles the grand mansion constructed in 1890 . Many other downtown East Liverpool buildings were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission .
East Liverpool is a city in Columbiana County , Ohio , United States . The population was 11,195 at the time of the 2010 census . It is located along the Ohio River and borders the states of Pennsylvania and West Virginia . East Liverpool is included in the Salem , OH Micropolitan Statistical Area , approximately 40 miles ( 64 km ) from both Youngstown as well as downtown Pittsburgh . Historically , it was referred to as the Pottery Capital of the World due to the large number of potteries in the city ; however , due to changes in the ceramics industry , only three remain in the area . The city is also known as the hometown of former NCAA Division I football coach Lou Holtz . It was the destination for the body of bank robber Pretty Boy Floyd , taken there for embalming . The Beginning Point of the U.S. Public Land Survey is just east of the city center , on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border . Because of its role in the ceramics industry , the town is one of the settings in author Holly Black 's award-winning middle-grade novel , Doll Bones .
The Colonial Revival architectural style seeks to revive elements of American colonial architecture . The beginnings of the Colonial Revival style are often attributed to the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 , which reawakened Americans to the architectural traditions of their colonial past . Fairly small numbers of Colonial Revival homes were built c. 1880-1910 , a period when Queen Anne-style architecture was dominant in the United States . From 1910-1930 , the Colonial Revival movement was ascendant , with about 40% of U.S. homes built during this period in the Colonial Revival style . In the immediate post-war period ( c. 1950s-early 1960s ) , Colonial Revival homes continued to be constructed , but in simplified form . In the present-day , many New Traditional homes draw from Colonial Revival styles . While the dominant influences in Colonial Revival style are Georgian and Federal architecture , Colonial Revival homes also draw , to a lesser extent , from the Dutch Colonial style and post-medieval English styles . Colonial Revival homes are often eclectic in style , freely combining aspects from several of these prototypes . Although associated with the architectural movement , Colonial Revival also refers to historic preservation , landscape architecture and garden design , and decorative arts movements that emulate or draw inspiration from colonial forms . Cyril M. Harris 's American Architecture : An Illustrated Encyclopedia noted that Colonial Revival houses are usually the result of a rather free interpretation of their prototypes ; they tend to be larger , may differ significantly from the houses they seek to emulate , and often exaggerate architectural details .
The Masonic Temple in Kent , Ohio is a historic building which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . Built in 1876 ( http : //portagecountyauditor.org/Data.aspx ? ParcelID=17-025-10-00-167-000 ) in the Italianate style , it was originally the home of Kent namesake Marvin Kent and his family . Construction was performed partially by locals and partly by master craftsmen from afar : the architect was Isaac Tuttle of neighboring Ravenna , but interior woodworking was performed by woodworkers brought from New York City . Members of Kent 's family lived at the house for slightly more than forty years before selling it to a Masonic lodge in 1923 . Due to Marvin Kent 's national prominence in the Republican Party , many political leaders visited his house , including Presidents Benjamin Harrison , William McKinley , William Howard Taft , and Warren G. Harding ; the guest room in which every president slept has been named the President 's Room and preserved in its late nineteenth-century condition . Built of brick on a foundation of sandstone , the Masonic Temple features miscellaneous elements of wood and sandstone placed under a slate roof . A brick wall is placed in front of the house , which features a wrap-around porch with a small pediment . The house 's walls rise two and a half stories , with a taller tower at the center of the facade ; the eaves under the tall pointed roof are supported by a cornice composed of dentilling . It was listed on the National Register in 1974 and is also a contributing structure of the West Main Street District , listed on the NRHP in 1977 .
Kent is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the largest city in Portage County . It is located along the Cuyahoga River in Northeast Ohio on the western edge of the county .

The city is counted as part of the Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area and the larger Cleveland-Akron-Canton Combined Statistical Area . Part of the Connecticut Western Reserve , Kent was settled in 1805 and was known for many years as Franklin Mills . Settlers were attracted to the area due to its location along the Cuyahoga River as a place for water-powered mills . Later development came in the 1830s and 1840s as a result of the settlement 's position along the route of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal . Leading up to the American Civil War , Franklin Mills was noted for its activity in the Underground Railroad . With the decline of the canal and the emergence of the railroad , the town became the home of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad maintenance shops through the influence of Marvin Kent . In 1864 the town was renamed Kent in honor of and in gratitude for Marvin Kent 's efforts . It was incorporated as a village in 1867 and became a city after the 1920 Census . Today Kent is a college town best known as the home of the main campus of Kent State University , founded in 1910 , and as the site of the 1970 Kent State shootings .

Renaissance Revival architecture ( sometimes referred to as Neo-Renaissance ) is a group of 19th century architectural revival styles which were neither Greek Revival nor Gothic Revival but which instead drew inspiration from a wide range of classicizing Italian modes . Under the broad designation Renaissance architecture nineteenth-century architects and critics went beyond the architectural style which began in Florence and central Italy in the early 15th century as an expression of Renaissance humanism ; they also included styles we would identify as Mannerist or Baroque . Self-applied style designations were rife in the mid- and later nineteenth century : Neo-Renaissance might be applied by contemporaries to structures that others called Italianate , or when many French Baroque features are present ( Second Empire ) . The divergent forms of Renaissance architecture in different parts of Europe , particularly in France and Italy , has added to the difficulty of defining and recognizing Neo-Renaissance architecture . A comparison between the breadth of its source material , such as the English Wollaton Hall , Italian Palazzo Pitti , the French Château de Chambord , and the Russian Palace of Facets - all deemed Renaissance - illustrates the variety of appearances the same architectural label can take .
