  Old Courthouse Architecture :: Jefferson National Expansion Memorial
Under their agreement the land was to be "used forever as the site on which the courthouse of the County of St. Louis should be erected." The centralization of St. Louis government occurred because offices were not located in a consistent, established location.
The original courthouse was constructed of brick in the Federal style of architecture and completed in 1828.
The population of St. Louis grew three fold during this period due to the booming fur trade, and the courthouse was outgrown ten years after it opened.

Typical of Bulfinch's architecture, the spring-points and keystones of the arches, as well as the string course and window lintels and sills, were of white marble in crisp contrast to the red brick walls.
The discovery that architecture had the power to evoke distant times or places-times of immense appeal because of their mystery or self-assuredness-led to a new emotional way of making and thinking about buildings which was abetted by unparalleled technological prowess for manufacturing new building materials (terra cotta, cast iron, and plate glass, for example).
Victorian architecture came to be regarded as excessively fussy and naive, drowned in a sea of misguided invention, perversion of materials, and cloying picturesqueness.

Other consequences of his interest in mediaeval architecture were his friendship with the iron-master John Cragg and the design of two very remarkable churches built mainly in cast iron.
St Philip’s Hardman Street (1816) is described as "a sort of feeble imitation of King’s College, Cambridge" and St Jude’s Hardwick Street (1831) is damned as having "the horrors of cast-iron tracery, mouldings run in cement, stucco facades, and galleried and ceiled interiors".16 As a practitioner Rickman is dismissed.

 University of Delaware. Suitable for Cultivation. Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture and garden design--the artificial modification of the terrain--are among the most ancient of human endeavors, deriving from the desire to impose order and harmony upon the natural world.
To this day landscape gardening and design are employed for both private and public pleasure, from the modest suburban home to the vast aristocratic estate, and from the town square to city parks and greenbelts.
These parks were faithfully designed in accordance with principles formulated in the eighteenth century by British landscape naturalists, espoused in this country by Downing, and followed by the architects of public landscape spaces such as Frederick Law Olmstead, one of the most prolific of public park designers in this country.

In the official lists in sections 6.2 - 6.10, an asterisk (*) next to a protocol denotes that it is new to this document or has been moved from one protocol level to another, or differs from the previous edition of this document.
While they may be proposed as a service protocol at a later stage, and thus become proposed standard, draft standard, and then standard protocols, the designation of a protocol as experimental may sometimes be meant to suggest that the protocol, although perhaps mature, is not intended for operational use.
Sometimes one protocol is replaced by another and thus becomes historic, or it may happen that a protocol on the standards track is in a sense overtaken by another protocol (or other events) and becomes historic (state 5).

The purpose of this article is to present a systematic study of the development of vernacular domestic architecture in three counties in northeastern North Carolina.
The Virginia house, a one-story dwelling with gable-end chimneys and either a one-room or a two-room, hall-and-parlor plan was the first distinctively native style of domestic architecture to emerge in the English colonies.
Perhaps the greatest factor in the decline of vernacular architecture was the displacement in popular esteem of the traditional types of dwellings by ones taken from patterns in builders’ handbooks.
