National Register Nomination The McCloughan Mansion 315 Old Allerton Road, Annandale NJ 08801 Leaha Bovino Master of Science, Historic Preservation School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation Roger Williams University May 2014 ABSTRACT: The McCloughan Mansion is an Italianate-style house located in Annandale, New Jersey on five acres of land and includes two outbuildings, a small barn and a second dwelling. The mansion was constructed between 1860 and 1870 and is significant under Criterion C in the area of Architecture. The McCloughan Mansion is an excellent example of Italianate design executed in brick masonry that is uncommon in the architectural context of the town of Annandale. Furthermore, repetitive segmental-arched architectural elements distinguish the McCloughan Mansion from typical orthogonal implementations of Italianate design, and give this property an iconic identity. The property retains a high degree of historic fabric and integrity, including its setting in a Picturesque, park-like landscape, thus remaining as an accurate illustration of its period of significance in the 1860s and 70s.

The east (facade) elevation faces Old Allerton Road and is accessible by a semicircular drive. The McCloughan Mansion is identifiable by its large segmented arches that are a reoccurring element of its design in the main block, veranda, and cupola. The house is situated on 5.02 acres that slopes downwards towards the west and contains many trees. The historic Runkle Family Cemetery bounds the property partially on the northwest perimeter, and a discontinued road bounds the property to the North. In addition to the McCloughan Mansion, a secondary dwelling and a small outbuilding are to the West of the primary dwelling. The house seems to be structurally sound, yet is in poor condition in terms of finishes, features, and fixtures, and is uninhabitable. The McCloughan Mansion, LLC. purchased the house in 2012 and conducted emergency stabilization repairs and general cosmetic fixes to appeal to potential buyers. The house retains much historical integrity, first in its location and setting. The house still sits on its original foundation and it is evident that the house once was Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 McCloughan Mansion Hunterdon NJ Name of Property County and State part of a well-maintained estate as evidenced by landscape features such as a terraced grass tennis court, outdoor stone fireplace, planted hedges, and the remains of a collection of outbuildings, many

    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission _ __ Planning and Development Department LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: Houston Bar Center AGENDA ITEM: B.1 OWNERS: Supreme Bright Houston, LLC HPO FILE NO.: 17L322 APPLICANTS: Mehul Patel DATE ACCEPTED: 6/29/2017 LOCATION: 723 Main Street Houston, TX 77002 HAHC HEARING DATE: 7/26/2017 SITE INFORMATION: Lots 6 & 12, Tracts 1A, 2B & 7A Block 80, South Side of Buffalo Bayou, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes ten-story office building. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Houston Bar Center Building at 723 Main Street is an excellent Houston example of New Formalist architecture and of a national trend to remodel, re-skin and “modernize” outdated early twentieth century buildings in the post-World War II period. Houston’s embrace of Modernism as a fresh new architectural style caused many buildings in the city’s central business district to be slipcovered or extensively remodeled in the 1945-1970 period. Architect Eugene Slater’s interpretation of New Formalism at 723 Main Street resulted in the introduction into downtown Houston of a signature example of the style, at once a speculative office building yet at the same time up-to-date with the latest real estate ventures elsewhere in the city. The Houston Bar Center Building has also been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as a 1960s modernist building, and it was officially listed in the NRHP on June 26, 2017. The Houston Bar Center at 723 Main Street meets Criteria 1, 4, and 5 for Landmark Designation.

As it aged, the owners and occupants slowly transformed the country house from a private “country seat” to a public recreation center in the midst of a dense urban neighborhood.
