Sprague, Brown, and Knowlton Store
The Sprague, Brown, and Knowlton Store is a historic building located in Winterset, Iowa, United States.  Built in 1866 to house a dry goods store, it is an early example of a vernacular limestone commercial building.  The two-story structure is composed of locally quarried ashlar and rubble  stone.  It features chamfered quoins and jambs, and a bracketed stone cornice.  Its construction has been attributed to local stonemason David Harris.  The storefront has subsequently been altered.  The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and it was included as a contributing property in the Winterset Courthouse Square Commercial Historic District in 2015.

Quoin
Quoins (/kɔɪn/ or /kwɔɪn/) are masonry blocks at the corner of a wall. Some are structural, providing strength for a wall made with inferior stone or rubble, while others merely add aesthetic detail to a corner. According to one 19th-century encyclopedia, these imply strength, permanence, and expense, all reinforcing the onlooker's sense of a structure's presence.

Stone quoins are used on stone or brick buildings. Brick quoins may appear on brick buildings, extending from the facing brickwork in such a way as to give the appearance of generally uniformly cut ashlar blocks of stone larger than the bricks. Where quoins are decorative and non-load-bearing a wider variety of materials is used, including timber, stucco, or other cement render.

The 2010 redistricting process not only brought down the rule of two deputies per department to one, it also created eleven constituencies for French residents overseas.
