		The building was designated a landmark in March 2001, although the sumptuous spaces on the first floor had to be exempted from the designation due to their private use.
		The 43-storey building was dubbed the "shadowless skyscraper" due to its sleek form rising to the heights, enhanced by black terra cotta spandrels on its glazed white brick facade.

		The Pumping Station was also designated as a Historic American Water Landmark by the American Waterworks Association, and in 1999, the American Society of Civil Engineers designated it a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
		These surviving examples of steam-powered machinery are exceedingly rare, especially in original context, and those at the Pumping Station are amazingly still operable due in large part to the attention of personnel from the Shreveport municipal water system.
		John Hussey:In 1978, when I became a member of the [city] council, the McNeill Street Pumping Station was actually used as part of our water supply and the power was steam power and that’s what made it unique.

	Sunset Limited
		A landmark account, Sunset Limited explores the railroad's development and influence--especially as it affected land settlement, agriculture, water policy, and the environment--and offers a new perspective on the tremendous, often surprising, role the company played in shaping the American West.
		Meticulously researched, lucidly written, and judiciously balanced, Sunset Limited opens a new window onto the American West in a crucial phase of its development and will forever change our perceptions of one of the largest and most important western corporations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		As he traces the complex and shifting intersections between corporate and public interest, Orsi documents the railroad's little-known promotion of land distribution, small-scale farming, scientific agriculture, and less wasteful environmental practices and policies--including water conservation and wilderness and recreational parklands preservation.

	CCO Tours & Visits: Graphite Reactor Museum
		The oldest reactor in the world, the Graphite Reactor was designated a historic landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1966 and by the American Nuclear Society in 1992.
		It went like this: If you're trying to figure out how to make a nuclear reactor for nuclear power, you have all sorts of choices because there are various kinds of fuels--plutonium, enriched uranium--various kinds of coolants--water, gas, liquid metal--and various kinds of moderators--graphite, heavy water, light water.
		The reactor ``went critical'' at 5 a.m.; less than two months later, it was producing a third of a ton of irradiated uranium a day.
