The Brownville School was built in 1927-28. J.C. Harris was the architect who built it and supervised the construction. It was one of five DeSoto County schools to be closed in 1947 when the school system was consolidated and students were bused into town. Since that time the building has been used as a VFW Hall, community center, federal food commodities distribution office, storm shelter, polling place and a training program for adult mentally handicapped persons. In July 2004 the property was leased to the DeSoto County Historical Society by the DeSoto County School District.]]> Brownville School

Sutter Creek Grammar School
[Info] [GM] [LM] [YM]
By: kkeps
@ 2008-12-26 10:02:42
The thirty-five by fifty-five foot, two-story brick schoolhouse was probably completed and furnished by the start of the new school year in September of 1870, at a cost to the community of $10,000. Two competent teachers managed to preside over a daily attendance of two hundred pupils.
It was built to replace the second schoolhouse, constructed in 1857, which was destroyed by fire on May 16 of 1870. The schoolhouse is no longer used as a classroom. It now serves as a community center after having been restored by the Sutter Creek Women’s Club.

@ 2008-11-09 10:46:12
The Hungarian Settlement School is locally significant in the area of ethnic history as a rare survivor to represent the distinctive heritage of Hungarian Settlement. The school is of local educational significance because of its role in educating both children and adults. It was the principal school for Hungarian Settlement children from 1928, when it opened, to 1943, when it closed. Grades one through seven were taught there, and it is where many an Hungarian child learned English. In addition, adult education classes were held there at night. Hungarian immigrants from the North were first attracted to Livingston Parish around 1896. The stimulus was the Charles Brakenridge Lumber Company, which advertised in Hungarian newspapers for workers, promising employment as well as the opportunity to buy land. Also, the Illinois Central Railroad paid to advertise the area in an Hungarian newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1900, seventeen Hungarian families had moved to the sawmill community. They called their settlement Arpadhon, or “place of Arpad,” in honor of a legendary Hungarian hero. ]]> Hungarian Settlement School

On September 4, 2008 John McCain, addressing the Republican National Convention stood before a large screen. At the beginning of the speech the screen showed a large building with a lawn. The building is Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, CA. Speculation is that the image used was mistaken for Walter Reed Medical Center.

Ironically the school was also used as a backdrop for the TV show West Wing:

Eagle House is a Queen Anne house built in the Dutch style, in 1705. It is in Mitcham, which was formerly in Surrey and is now in Greater London.

The building dates back to 1705 and was occupied by John Bond around 1780. The grounds of the house formed a triangle, bounded by London Road, Bond Road and Western Road. Bond Road was then a back lane to John Bond's country seat, and is named after him.

In the early days of the Holborn Union Industrial Schools, built in the northern part of the estate, it served as the school infirmary.

In 1933, the building was bought by the Surrey County Council, for the care of 'mentally deficient girls'.

In 2005, the building is a school for children and young people with autism.

Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site was established in Topeka, Kansas on October 26, 1992 by the United States Congress to commemorate the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision aimed at ending racial segregation in public schools. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously declared that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and, as such, to violate the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees all citizens "equal protection of the laws."
The site consists of the Monroe Elementary School, one of the four segregated elementary schools for African American children in Topeka, and the adjacent grounds.]]> Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site

The James Leary Flood Mansion is considered one of the most beautiful examples of domestic architecture in the United States today and is the perfect setting for an elegant wedding and reception or private dinner party.



A symphony of classical styles - Italian Renaissance, Rococo, Tudor and Georgian - this elegant marble building was designed by the renowned architects, Bliss and Faville, for Mr. and Mrs. James Leary Flood. Begun in 1912, the design and construction phases lasted three years, and the mansion was completed in time to serve as a stunning vantage point for the 1915 Panama-Pacific World Exposition, which filled the land below stretching to the Bay. Mr. and Mrs. Flood commissioned the finest artisans from this country and abroad to work on their home, which features hand-carved woods, expanses of marble, hand-painted murals, an enclosed tile courtyard and a stunning panoramic view that sweeps from the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz and beyond. The result was a masterpiece that endures today with untarnished grandeur.



Mrs. Flood presented her home to the Society of the Sacred Heart i
