The Chambers Transfer & Storage Company is significant in the history of commerce in Phoenix. As the railroads developed, support warehouses were constructed on each side of the railroad tracks. Phoenix is the only location in Arizona where the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe railroads connect, making it the natural location for major warehousing functions. The Spanish Colonial Revival style building was designed and constructed in 1923 by T.B. Stewart Construction for the O'Malley Lumber Company as a speculative property. The Chambers Transfer & Storage Company occupied the building in 1924. Maricopa County purchased the building in 2006.
The Maricopa County Courthouse was originally built in 1928-1929 by both Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix. The County Courthouse portion of the building was designed by a Louisiana architect. Edward F. Neild. The City chose the Phoenix firm of Lescher and Mahoney to construct a city hall. Although unified in its earlier appearance, the building was designed as two independent buildings in the Neo-Classical and Spanish Colonial Revival styles. The exterior is constructed of terra cotta and poured concrete with bronze and polished granite details and red clay roofing tiles. The Maricopa County Courthouse reflects the growth of the State of Arizona and the City of Phoenix during the decades prior to World War II.

Captain Leidesdorff’s father was a Danish sea captain; his Creole mother was from Danish-held St. Croix, where Leidesdorff was born in 1812. Educated in New Orleans, William Alexander Leidesdorff became an accomplished linguist and master of the ship Julia Ann. Trading Hawaiian sugar for California hides, Leidesdorff settled in Yerba Buena in 1838 where he built a warehouse on the beach at California and today’s Leidesdorff Street. Appointed Vice-Consul by Consul Larkin, he built the City Hotel at Kearney and Clay. Leidesdorff bought the 37-foot-long Sitka from the Russians at Fort Ross, to operate the first steam-powered vessel on San Francisco Bay. In February 1848, “Little Sitka has as much as she could do to keep her head above water long enough to say her prayers. She tossed and tumbled, and to the bottom she went.” Vice Consul Leidesdorff had invested in numerous city lots when he died from cholera in May 1848 – only months before the Gold Rush immensely increased the value of his estate

With a passion, political astuteness, and indefatigable energy, she advocated relentlessly and persuasively for deepening funding for the National Institutes of Health and for supporting research excellence. Her vision of a world free of suffering and premature death for people everywhere guided her missionary zeal to encourage public and private support for advancing scientific knowledge. 
The yellow-brick foghorn building, the pier, and the beacon tower to the west of the lighthouse represent the final years of the lighthouse's operation. The U.S. Coast Guard took over operation of the lighthouse in 1939, just a few years after the foghorn and the pier were built.

Throughout much of the nineteenth century, the Bladensburg Dueling Grounds were well-known as a place to settle differences. The site was a secluded location, close to taverns, and fell outside of Washington D.C.'s boundaries, where dueling was prohibited. The first notable fight was between two members of Congress in 1808.
On March 30, 1791, a group of six men, bundled in great coats, could be seen riding on horseback over a "wilderness" on the Potomac River. The leader was George Washington, first President of the United States, who was to approve the site selected for a new capital city authorized by the Constitution. This boundary milestone, southeast No. 6, still standing on its original location, was set here in 1792 under orders of President Washington by Major Andrew Ellicott, Surveyor.
The Newton Falls covered bridge was built over the east branch of the Mahoning River around 1831. A crosswalk was added in 1921 for children crossing the bridge on their way to the school on Center Street. The Newton Falls bridge is considered the second oldest existing covered bridge in Ohio, the oldest covered bridge in use on its original site, the only covered bridge in the state with a covered crosswalk, and the last surviving covered bridge in Trumbull County. Built on the Town Lattice truss plan, the bridge is 123 feet long and twenty-four feet wide. It has a clear span of 101 1/2 feet and a sixteen foot-wide roadway. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the structure is maintained by Trumbull County.
