Harvest Home Boarding House (1882-1937)

This was the location of the Harvest Home boarding house was built by Frank Canaris in 1882, who operated it for several years, later selling it to Joseph McKean. It was located just west of Pacific Ave. between 5th and 7th south in Long Beach and was situated less than 300 feet from the beach. The McKean family, who lived in it year-round, started letting it out during the summer in 1886. It was rebuilt and refurbished in 1904. The boarding house had 19 furnished rooms and could accommodate 50 guests. The McKeans put the building up for sale in 1913, but were still operating it in 1916. The building was demolished in 1937.

North Jetty

By 1880 Portland and Astoria were the major cities in Oregon and the major ports on the Columbia River. Portland emerged as the dominant port while Astoria took a secondary, yet still major position.  As railroads were just beginning to make their entrance into the Pacific Northwest, the export of the various resources and import of goods needed to support the immense growth of this area fell primarily to the riverboats and commercial ships that traveled on the Columbia River, the region's major “highway." This became a problem.  

Glenville State Student Union, Dining Hall, and Bowling Alley

Glenville State had gone without a designated Student Union and dining hall for several decades when the need was finally recognized during the 1950s. Through the sale of bonds and an ongoing student union fee, the $225,000 building became a reality under the leadership of President Harry B. Heflin during 1956. This facility initially included the Student Union, individual mail boxes, two lounges, office space for alumni activities, a 1700 sq foot dance floor, a snack bar, two sound proof listening rooms, a main kitchen, a TV room, and restrooms. There was also the dining hall, additional lounges, storage rooms, and utility rooms throughout the building. After several Student Council officers campaigned on the installation of a bowling alley as early as 1959, an addition was added to the building in 1963, and President D. Banks Wilburn made the bowling alley a reality in 1966. This also led to the development of a campus bowling team that saw great success during the 1970s.The student union has been known by several names over the years. These have included the Pioneer Center, Heflin Student Union, and Mollohan Campus Community Center.

Riverton Museum

Located in a historic church building constructed in 1916 near the heart of Riverton, this museum has operated since 1970. The local history museum offers a variety of exhibits ranging from early indigenous cultures and early settlements in the area to leading individuals, organizations, and businesses that have called Riverton home. The museum staff and volunteers collect, preserve, and interpret artifacts that reflect the area's human and natural history and offer various special events.

Riverton Depot and the Rails to Trails (Wyoming Heritage Trail)

Completed in 1907 and moved to its current location a decade later, the Riverton Depot was part of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company's line from Casper to Lander. The depot has been preserved, and the rails and trails that run next to it are an important part of Riverton's history. The historic train depot, once a bustling hub of travelers entering the Wind River area, is now a popular Mexican restaurant called the Depot.

Tryon Palace

Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace was the official home and office of the Colonial Governor of North Carolina. Built in the late 1760s, the Palace boasts a decadent Georgian architectural style that is inspired by the popular architectural style in England at the time. Once the seat of the Royal Government in North Carolina, the Palace today is one of New Bern's richest stops as you explore North Carolina's first capital. Frequented by school groups, college students, curious families, and local history buffs, Tryon Palace and the surrounding homes immerse you in Colonial and early-American life. Local actors, constant demonstrations, and a peacefully secluded atmosphere allow visitors to connect with the exhibit as if they are truly visiting a different time. Tryon Palace shows off the lives and routines of those who lived and worked there, from the cooks and servants to the Governor himself.

Los Angeles YMCA; Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel

Constructed in 1926 for the Commercial Club of Southern California, this historic Los Angeles building was home to the private club through 1932. The Great Depression saw a temporary closure of the building until 1941, when it reopened as the Cabrillo Hotel and later rebranded as the Case Hotel. The Renaissance Revival-style building served as a YWCA from 1965 to 212, and was then converted into a luxury hotel. Architects Alexander Curlett and Claud Beelman designed the structure, and much of the original window casings, millwork, and the pink and white checkerboard floor on the first level have been preserved. New features include artwork throughout the building, including a mural by Abel Macias.

Los Angeles Railway Building

Now home to the Hoxton Hotel, this historic Los Angeles Building was completed in 1922 and served as the headquarters of the L. A. Railway Authority. This 10-story Beaux Arts office building was designed by the architectural firm of Noerenberg & Johnson. The historic structure is one of many historic buildings that have been developed into hotels, office space, or luxury apartments in the Broadway Theatre District. The first floor of this building was used as a grocery store and a variety of retail businesses, with other floors holding businesses ranging from garment factories to offices. This historic district reflects the history of Los Angeles, with a dozen grand movie theatres constructed from 1910 to the start of the Great Depression.

Western Pacific Building

Architects Walker & Eisen designed this Los Angeles Beaux Arts style building, which was completed in 1925. The building was restored in a project completed in 2019 and now offers a mixture of office suites and retail on the first floor. The historic office building is located among a variety of historic structures that have been preserved and many more that were lost. During the early years of this building, it was home to a variety of tenants, including the "6% Investment Building & Loan Association." The building was later owned by ANJAC Fashion Buildings, a company that began from the work of Jack and Annette (hence the name ANJAC) who designed fashionable dresses in the 1940s. The designers used their profits to purchase numerous downtown LA buildings in the decades that followed. During the 1960s, this building held the Armed Forces Examination and Entrance Station, the first stop for men drafted into the Vietnam War.

The Original Pantry Cafe (1924-2025)

Operating in Los Angeles since 1924, the Pantry Cafe moved to this location in 1950 and operated continuously until 2025 (except during the Covid pandemic). The building's exterior features a historical marker recognizing the iconic restaurant, which was dedicated in 1982 by the City of Los Angeles. The restaurant began at 9th and San Francisco in 1924 as a 24-hour diner and operated for twenty-six years until the construction of the 110 Freeway compelled the establishment to move to this location. The restaurant was known for many traditions, including serving free coffee for the first 87 of the restaurant's 101 years.
