- Martin Luther King Library. This
glass and steel frame D.C. Public Library building at 9th and
G Streets (1969-72) is the only structure in the city designed
by Mies van der Rohe.
- HUD Headquarters. Designed by world-renowned
modernist architect, Marcel Breuer, the curvilinear concrete
frame HUD building (1963-68) presented a radical departure for
government office building design at the time. Its high quality
design set a new standard for public buildings.
- Embassies of Mexico, Spain, Norway,
and Vatican. These buildings are among many Beaux Arts mansions
that distinguish two “Embassy Row” boulevards in
Washington—16th Street and Massachusetts Avenue. The Spanish
and Mexican embassies were designed by George Oakley Totten
for Mrs. Mary Henderson as part of her plan to develop 16th
Street as an embassy-lined Avenue of the Presidents. The Norwegian
and Vatican embassies create a grand entry opposite the main
gate to the Naval Observatory grounds and Vice President’s
residence.
- American University (1898). As desired
by the university’s founder, John Fletcher Hurst, the
American University campus was designed in a formal manner and
planned with classically inspired buildings that Hurst felt
extended the L’Enfant plan to the outlying regions of
the District. Hurst Hall (1898), the oldest campus building,
epitomizes this classically inspired design aesthetic.
- Catholic University campus buildings
- Howard University Divinity School
- National Shrine of Immaculate Conception
(1919-1927). America’s largest Roman Catholic Church was

by local architect Edward Durrell Stone, most well known for
his design of the Kennedy Center.
- Southern Railway Building (1928).
The Southern Railway Building was constructed at 920 15th Street
after the federal government purchased the company’s old
building and demolished it for construction of the Federal Triangle.
The building, with its character-defining stepped back rooftop
floors, was designed by prominent architect Waddy Wood and was
the long-time headquarters of the railroad.
- Barr Building (1926). The Barr Building
on 17th Street N.W. was designed by Washington architect B.
Stanley Simmons and is one of three nearby, pre-Depression,
commercial Gothic office buildings (the other two being the
Tower building and the Denrike Building) with Art Deco influences.
The 11-story building overlooking Farragut Square was described
in the 1927 Board of Trade’s, Book of Washington as “Washington’s
Most Beautiful Office Building.”
- Washington Gas Building (1941). The
Washington Gas Building at 11th and H Streets, N.W. was constructed
in 1941 as the company’s 12-story flag ship office building
complete with gas lit lamps. Designed by native Washingtonian,
architect Leon Chatelain, the building reflects a stripped classical
style of architecture reflective of the War period. The building
was a source of pride for the Gas Company that published a promotional
booklet celebrating the company and its building.
- Shoreham Hotel (1930)

of the Presidents” established in 1835 is perhaps Washington’s

School was designed in an exuberant Gothic Revival style of
architecture that epitomized the stylistic preference of Municipal
Architect Snowden Ashford. Eastern High was constructed at the
eastern edge of Capitol Hill as the growing middle class neighborhood
continued to push further east of the Capitol building during
the 20th century.
- McKinley High (1926-28), Roosevelt
High (1932), many other public schools
- Anacostia Park. Conceived as an integral
part of the 1902 McMillan Plan for Washington, this riverside
park created from reclaimed mud flats was an extraordinary accomplishment
of the Army Corps of Engineers. The park was the site of the
Bonus Army encampment after World War I and is associated with
desegregation struggles in the District.
- Government Printing Office (1899-1904;
1938-40). The original (1899) Government Printing Office building
on North Capitol Street is a large and imposing brick building
that historically served as one of the city’s largest
employers. The location of the building as a center of employment
on North Capitol Street helped encourage the residential growth
of adjacent neighborhoods in both northeast and northwest Washington.
GPO workers seeking to live near their place of employment either
rented or purchased new speculatively built row houses in the
Near northeast neighborhood, Capitol Hill, the East End and
Mount Vernon Square areas of the city.

Indiana
- Indiana's round barns. The Echterling
Farm includes two round barns, and a circular plan house, as
well as numerous historic farm buildings. Built in 1912 by a
German immigrant family, this entire one-of-a-kind farmstead
is not listed on the National Register.
Hanover Township, Lake County
- The Gary Bathing Beach Pavilion in
Marquette Park is on the National Register. However, the surrounding
park, Marquette Park, is not listed. This man-made historic
landscape is recognized by many for its history. Part of the
storied past of this site includes Pere Marquette’s explorations,
and later, the exploits of Octave Chanute and his internationally
famous glider flights from the dunes here. The park includes
significant bronze sculpture work, a pavilion by famous Chicago
- Prairie School architect George Maher, and beautiful man-made
lagoons.
Gary, Lake County
- The Upp Wark Mounds (12Pr17-27).
The Mounds are a rare large mound group, the best preserved
group of its kind in the area. Indications are that these date
to the Middle Woodland time period (ca. 200 B.C.- A.D. 600),
and included regional interaction with long distance trade of
artifacts and goods. It is a public architecture, ceremonial
, and mortuary site.
Porter County
- The Mossberg House. Designed in 1948
by America’s most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.
This modernistic house reflects Wright’s ideas for American
housing in the post war period, in a style he called “Usonian.”
Though it’s been published as a landmark of American design
since before the 1970s, it’s not on the National Register
of Historic Places.
South Bend
- Sections of the Wabash and Erie Canal.
Some sections still carry water. The great canal project began
in the 1830s and gave many Wabash Valley towns their first chance
at drawing settlers and businesses. Now, places like the Wabash
and Erie Canal Interpretive Center use the canal to entertain
and educate the public.
Delphi, Carroll County
- The Strand and the Brokaw Theaters.
Both theaters are located on the courthouse square and are separated
by a single storefront. The Brokaw opened in 1921 while the
Strand opened five years later for vaudeville. The current marquees
represent renovations from the 1940s. The two theaters still
show movies and help illuminate the downtown square.
Angola
- The Lincoln Tower. This monument
to Art Deco style towers above the skyline, as it has since
local architect A.M Strauss, with help from Walker & Weeks
of Cleveland, Ohio, designed in 1930.
Fort Wayne, Allen County
- Lebanon is the seat of one of Indiana’s
fastest growing counties, Boone County. There is only one item
on the National Register in the entire city of Lebanon, though
there are neighborhoods, like the Ulen area, lined with fine
houses from the 1880s, 1890s, and early 1900s.
Lebanon, Boone County
- Architecture of Samuel Plato. Plato
experienced many hardships during his career. An African-American,
he designed landmark buildings in his hometown of Marion. The
First Baptist Church is an excellent example of Plato’s
talents.
Marion, Grant County
- Miami County Courthouse. The stately
limestone 1908 county courthouse is a landmark to the community.
But, it’s not on the National Register of Historic Places,
nor is the intact square of some 120 historic buildings, ranging
in date from the 1870s to the 1940s. A limestone turn-of-the-century
railroad depot would also be part of this district.
Peru, Miami County
- 13-24 Drive-In. This represents a
vanishing resource type of the recent past. This 1950 drive-in
retains its original layout and has a capacity for over 700
cars. The original neon marquee announces the double-features
all summer long. This locally-owned theater manages to succeed
despite the increased competition from big-box theaters in recent
years.
Wabash
- The city of Connersville. This is
one of Indiana’s oldest cities. Walking through its historic
downtown is like opening a guide book to American architecture
– just about every kind of building type or style from
1820-1945 fill the streets of this historic river town. Major
portions of the city qualify for the National Register as historic
districts, but only one building is officially listed.
Connersville, Fayette County
- Fudge Mound Site (12R10). In ancient
times, mound building cultures thrived in Indiana. Indiana is
known for its rich collection of ceremonial mounds and sites,
and for its research into this cultural phenomenon. This well-preserved
site includes an oval-shaped mound.
Randolph County
- Hebrew Cemeteries. In heart of Indiana’s
capitol, lies the hidden story of Jewish immigration. The Hebrew
Cemeteries near Bluff Road on the south side of town feature
distinctive iron work gates and stones carved in Hebrew. There
are few reminders of this significant chapter in Indianapolis
history, except for this cemetery used by several temple congregations.
Indianapolis
- Bridge over Deer Creek. The graceful,
347’ long, four arch concrete Bridge over Deer Creek is
an obvious landmark. The Indiana State Highway Commission designed
and built this remarkable bridge in 1922-23 to reactivate the
old National Road as a new Federal highway, U.S. 40.
Putnam County
- The town of Vevay. This is a historic
Ohio River town with roots dating back to 1813. Only two of
its 500 historic buildings are listed on the National Register
and that doesn’t include the town’s 1864 county
courthouse, or any of its brick antebellum houses.
Switzerland County
- Oberting Hill Fort Site (12D25).
This site is a large, relatively intact mound and earthworks
complex that has received little investigation. It has cultural
components dating back to the Late Archaic time period (as early
as 4000 B.C.) and through the Woodland time periods (ca. 1000
B.C.- A.D. 1000).
Dearborn County
- Ohio County Courthouse. This is Indiana’s
oldest continuously-used county courthouse.
Rising Sun, Ohio County
- Alton/Magnet Site (12Pe171). This
is one of several significant Ohio River sites not included
in the National Register. This site is a stone tool (e.g., chipped
stone tools and spear points) manufacturing site with a very
early, rare Paleoindian (circa 10,000-7500 B.C.) component.
Part of the site is in a wooded area, so it may contain intact
cultural deposits from this time period.
Perry County
- Leora Brown School. The school is
three blocks outside the boundaries of the Corydon Historic
District and is the only historic school for African Americans.
This 1890s frame school house is also emblematic of the hundreds
of unlisted, but historic, schools throughout Indiana.
Corydon, Harrison County

Iowa
- Yorkshire Lead Mining Historic District.
This historic context and district is located in and around
Dubuque, Iowa and includes different sites, buildings, and structures
associated with the Yorkshire settlement of the area. The introduction
and implementation of lead mining and processing techniques
from settlers emigrating from the mining country in Yorkshire,
England into this area appears to represent a significant part
of the later lead mining history of northeastern Iowa, northwestern
Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin.
Dubuque, Dubuque County
- Stone City Historic District. This
picturesque eastern Iowa village is nationally known as the
backdrop for Grant Wood’s famous painting “Stone
City” and as the location of his legendary Stone City
Art Colony in the summers of 1932 and 1933, seminal events in
the development of the American Regional art movement. Originally
founded in the 1870’s and 1880’s largely due to
the activities of three limestone quarrying operations and featuring
a wide variety of buildings, sites, and structures, the Stone
City Historic District is one of Iowa’s best surviving
examples of a “company town.”
Stone City, Jones County
- Dairy Cattle Congress. The Dairy
Cattle Congress grounds and buildings are historically significant
for their association with dairy farming in northeast Iowa,
the interest in improved breeds and farming techniques, and
the Waterloo booster spirit that worked to bring the Congress
to Waterloo. The Dairy Cattle Congress moved to this Waterloo
location in 1912, and the buildings and grounds have expanded
numerous times.
Waterloo, Black Hawk County
- Rath Packing Company. Between 1891
and 1985, the Rath Packing Company grew from a small local business
into the ninth largest meat packing company in the United States.
By 1950, the Waterloo plant was the largest single-unit packing
house in the world. The Rath Packing Administration Building
is the only remaining building representing this important business
in Waterloo.
Waterloo, Black Hawk County
- The Weed Park Mound Grou. First formally
documented in 1975, this site consists of nine large, conical
mounds arranged in a single, east-west trending line, and are
located in Weed Park overlooking the Mississippi River. Since
Iowa’s settlement many mound groups like this one have
fallen victim to agriculture and urban development. The Weed
Park Mound Group represents one of the few remaining intact
mound groups in Iowa.
Muscatine, Muscatine County
- The Iowaville Archaeological Site
(13VB124). This is a protohistoric and historic archaeological
site located along the Des Moines River. This large site represents
the probable location of an Ioway tribal village dating to the
1770s and 1820s. During the 1820s, the Ioway Tribe was attacked
at this location by the Sauk Tribe and was defeated in battle.
The Ioway tribe was forced to flee from the site after the battle
and the Sauk tribe eventually occupied and utilized the site.
After the removal of the Sauk Tribe from Southeast Iowa through
treaties, the site later became the historic town of Iowaville
which has since been abandoned.
Van Buren County
- Kinnick Stadium. Completed in 1929
and designed by the Proudfoot firm as well, this classic football
facility was originally known as Iowa Stadium. It was renamed
to honor Nile Kinnick, Jr, who won fame and the Heisman Trophy
while playing here in 1939. During World War II, it was used
by the military for Iowa Pre-Flight School athletic activities,
and in the late 1950’s served as an early launching pad
for space exploration activities by Professor James Van Allen,
one of the nation’s top scientists in the space program.
Iowa City, Johnson County
- Senator Smith Brookhart Barn. This
large barn was built in the 1920s by United States Senator Smith
Brookhart while he was in office. Now rehabilitated and on the
Strabala farm, the barn has been featured in both Iowa Farmer
Today and on the annual tours of the Iowa Barn Foundation.
Washington, Washington County
- The Christensen Oneota Site (13PK407).
The Christensen site is a multiple episode seasonal encampment
located along the Des Moines River north of Des Moines. It is
associated with the Moingona Phase of the Oneota Cultural Tradition
and represents one of the northern-most manifestations of the
Moingona Phase. Radiocarbon assays place the time of occupation
between circa A.D. 1200 and A.D. 1300. Exploratory excavation
in 1983 followed by more intensive excavation in 2001 revealed
the sites excellent state of preservation. Data recovery efforts
located intact features including the floor depressions of several
shelters, hearths, trash-filled pits, and sheet midden deposits.
The Christensen site is considered significant for its ability
to contribute to a better understanding of Moingona Phase seasonal
subsistence economies, social organization, settlement patterns,
and site structure.
Polk County
- Sac & Fox 80 Acre Village Tract
and Meskwaki Powwow Ground (13TM517). The original 80 Acres
of the Meskwaki Indian Settlement including the former village
site and current powwow grounds is located in Tama County, Iowa
along the Iowa River. The Meskwaki Tribe, federally recognized
as the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa, purchased
the original 80 acres of land in 1857 after the State of Iowa
enacted a law allowing the Meskwaki Tribe to stay in Iowa in
1856. Until the 1900s, this was an unusual circumstance where
a tribe was allowed to remain in a state and was allowed to
purchase land which was held in trust by the Governor. Through
the purchase of the land, the tribe was able to live a more
independent, traditional lifestyle than tribes confined to federal
reservations which were regulated by federal authority. This
is considered to be a Traditional Cultural Property of the tribe.
Meskwaki Settlement, Tama County
- Drake University Stadium. This rather
vaguely Gothic-influenced stadium was designed by Proudfoot,
Rawson, and Souers, one of Iowa’s leading and most influential
architectural firms, and placed into service in 1925. A multipurpose
facility, designed for both football and track, this facility
is best known for hosting the annual Drake Relays, a nationally
and internationally significant track and field event.
Des Moines, Polk County
- Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School
Main Building. Constructed in three stages between 1858 and
1873, this edifice is the second oldest extant state government
building, predated only by “Old Capitol,” a designated
National Historic Landmark in Iowa City. Originally founded
in 1853, Iowa’s school for the blind, is the state’s
second oldest public education institution being established
six years after the University of Iowa opened its doors. One
of the most famous students to attend the school was Mary Ingalls,
the sister of Laura Ingalls Wilder, who would blend the story
of her sister’s blindness and attendance at the school,
into her series of “Little House” books.
Vinton, Benton County
- Fort Atkinson (13WH57. Significant
for its history, architecture, and archaeology, Fort Atkinson
was built in 1840 in an effort to contain the Winnebago tribe
within a Neutral Ground in Iowa. The fort also functioned to
prevent illegal entry of white traders, smugglers, and squatters
onto Indian lands. Documentary evidence and field studies have
indicated the potential for research at the two Winnebago sub
agencies, trading posts, encampments, habitations, and cemeteries.
Winneshiek County
- The Folkert Mound Group (13HA30).
This site is a Late Woodland period mound group dating from
A.D. 300 to A.D. 1250 and located within the Iowa River Greenbelt.
The mound group includes a unique cruciform mound which may
be considered to be a true effigy mound. This mound group may
represent the furthest west extension of the Effigy Mound Culture.
Hardin County
- The Little Brown Church. Completed
in 1864, this Gothic Revival influenced Congregational Church
is best known for its association with the popular hymn, “The
Church in the Wildwood.” The hymn’s composer William
S. Pitts visited the church’s site in 1857, and the words
he wrote inspired Reverend J.K. Nutting in 1860 to design the
building affectionately known as “the little brown church
in the vale.”
Near Nashua in Chickasaw County
- Campanile and Stanton Memorial Carillon,
Iowa State University. Arguably the most notable structure on
the Iowa State University campus, the Campanile was designed
by Des Moines architect George Hallett and completed in 1899.
The tower and bells are an integral part of every student’s
experience Iowa State and commemorate the importance of Margaret
MacDonald and Edgar W. Stanton’s contributions to the
University.
Ames, Story County
- The Mill Creek Archaeological District.
This is composed of sites associated with the Little Sioux Phase
of the late prehistoric Mill Creek culture in northwest Iowa.
The Double Ditch (13OB8) and Litka Sites (13OB31) are two key
properties within this proposed district and both are considered
individually eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places. The Double Ditch site is a short-term village
fortified by a rampart-presumably with a palisade wall on top,
and inner and outer ditches. The Litka site is a small field
containing a network of parallel east-west trending ridges.
These features were part of a ridged field or raised bed system
associated with nearby Mill Creek occupation. The Litka site
represents one of the few remaining examples of late prehistoric
ridged field agriculture in the United States.
O’Brien County
- Civil Bend Underground Railroad Historic-Archaeological
District (13FM97).
The Kansas-Nebraska struggle underscored the nation’s
sectional conflict and the important place shared by the border
west states in the events leading to Civil War. When Missourians
closed off the Missouri River to Kansas bound settlers from
eastern states, Iowa became the leading route of transit for
Kansas free state forces and assumed an important place in America’s
Underground Railroad history. The rural neighborhood of Civil
Bend—at the southwestern corner of Iowa—served as
the major first station point for passage of slaves escaping
from Missouri through Kansas and Nebraska.
Fremont County
- Close Brothers Tenant Farmsteads.
These two farmsteads with their original farm houses constructed
by the English Close brothers and their corporate alter egos
the Western Land Company and Iowa Land Company are rare survivors
from hundreds of tenant farms established in northwestern Iowa
in the early 1880’s in an effort to recreate English land
holding and farming patterns in the new world.
Osceola County
- Music Pavilion and Outdoor Theatre
in Grandview Park. Designed by local architect and prominent
architectural educator Henry Kamphoefner, the Grandview Park
Music Pavilion was built in the early 1930s with the assistance
the Civil Works Administration. The bandshell was one of Kamphoefner’s
most noted designs, receiving awards nationally and internationally.
The property was first noted for its architectural significance
in 1979 and a similar Kamphoefner design in Fort Dodge (the
Oleson Park Music Pavilion) was recently recognized as being
nationally significant for its architectural design.
