The African American Methodist community in Galveston dates to 1848, when Gail Borden deeded land on Broadway for a salve church. Following the Civil War, the congregation changed its affiliation from Methodist Episcopal Church, South, to the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. The church became known in 1867 as Reedy Chapel A.M.E., forerunner of A.M.E. churches throughout Texas. St. Paul M.E. Church split from Reedy Chapel, and in 1868 the St. Paul group divided, with one group buying property on Broadway and 38th Streets and becoming Wesley Tabernacle Church.
The new congregation changed locations and sanctuaries, starting with a one-room house later moved to a new site at Avenue I (Sealy) and 28th in 1870. The church added buildings later destroyed in an 1879 fire. A new wood frame sanctuary, severely damaged in the 1900 hurricane, was rebuilt by John Tankersley and an African American carpentry crew. The façade changed again in 1924 when the Galveston grade raising reached this neighborhood. Houston architectural firm Stowe and Stowe and builder Henry H. Lasden built a new red brick façade with white stone detailing.

The building features a prominent corner tower, bracketed tower cap and twin bracketed porch canopies, mixing elements of Gothic Revival and Craftsman style architecture. Interior features include a unique hand-hewn structural truss system intact from renovations following the 1900 storm. Pews and altar furniture date from the 1881 sanctuary. Wesley Tabernacle United Methodist Church has long been involved in social progress for the African American community it serves. Members have promoted civil rights for many years, including organization of the first anti-lynching society in Texas in 1914.
"On April 12, 1887, with Florida a part of the United States, the old Spanish structure burned once again, but the coquina blocks and cement masonry of the exterior was still salvageable. Reconstruction was begun with donations from Henry Flagler and funds raised in a national appeal. The congregation hired the visiting New York City architect James Renwick, Jr., who rebuilt and enlarged the church with a rectangular-cruciform layout and a European-style transept.
Renwick devised an elegant roof truss system that exposed the decorated timbers, and he added a Spanish Renaissance-style bell tower, its exposed bell typical of older Spanish mission churches in the west. Four bells were placed in the tower, one salvaged from a previous church and inscribed: "Sancte Joseph. Ora Pro Nobis. D 1682."; another taken from a British cathedral."

Work in progress. Unusual structural support for porches and house built c. 1910. Photo taken July 2008. Usual techniques employ continuous 2 by 8's or greater, often laminated as 4 by 8's. The results are temporary with major repairs required within 10-15 years. This example is the first I've seen using a wooden truss system. It appears to have worked well, allowing the porch to be flexible while not retaining water or encouraging rot. I'm not a carpenter, but this looks good to me.
The William H. Kessler House is a one-story residence with fully glazed curtain walls on the front and rear elevations and brick masonry side walls. The house, which is roughly square in plan, has a distinctive three-bay, folded-plate roof and a tall brick garden wall that screens the transparent façade from the street. Constructed in 1959, the Kessler home is a notable example of Modern residential architecture designed by William H. Kessler for himself and his family. The glass window walls are supported by a thin steel frame and the glazing is extended up into the gables producing a dramatic effect and enhancing the modern aesthetic. The folded-plate roof is comprised of 4” thick structural wood decking eliminating the need for an exposed truss system. The buff brick garden wall at the front of the house encloses a linear courtyard along the primary elevation. The northwest and southeast-facing side walls are clad with buff brick capped with a wood fascia set just below the roofline. The house’s main entrance is located in the center of the southeast elevation. A flat roof extends over the entry to a small rectangular storage shed clad with vertical wood boards. To the north of the storage shed is a two-vehicle carport with a flat roof that was designed by Kessler and added in 1964.
The William and Margot (Walbreaker) Kessler House is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria B and C at the state level as a notable example of the Modern Movement and for its association with architect William Kessler. The Kessler House was designed by Harvard-trained architect William H. Kessler for himself and his family in the early stages of his career, a few years after establishing an architectural practice with Philip J. Meathe and Harry Smith in 1955 (Meathe, Kessler & Associates). Built in 1959, the Kessler House possesses significance in the category of Architecture as an innovative residential design exhibiting the fundamental characteristics of the Modern Movement including its simple geometric form, use of large expanses of glass to bring nature and sunlight into the interior, and its open and free-flowing floor plan. The house is also distinctive for its folded-plate roof supported on a thin steel frame and the incorporation of a brick screen wall on the primary street-facing façade. Despite Kessler’s intention to live and work in Michigan for only a few years, he remained in the state for his entire career developing a successful private practice and contributing significantly to Michigan’s architectural legacy during the Modern and Post-Modern eras. Kessler was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1968 for his outstanding contributions to the profession and has been referred to as one of Detroit’s greatest modernists. During the second half of the twentieth century, Kessler designed many of Detroit’s most recognizable buildings and his work has received numerous awards and citations.
The Kessler House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 2013.

From Wikipedia:
The Humpback Covered Bridge located in the U.S. state of Virginia, is one of the only remaining covered bridges in the United States that was built higher in the middle than on either end; hence the name of "humpback". The bridge was built in 1857 and is also the oldest remaining covered bridge in the state of Virginia. Its WGCB number is 46-03-01. The bridge spans a tributary of the Jackson River known as Dunlap Creek, for a distance of 109 feet (33 m). The humpback feature is 4 feet (1.2 m) higher in the center than at either end. The bridge is located near the city of Covington, Virginia.
Three bridges stood at approximately the same location as Humpback Covered Bridge does today. The first bridge was built in the 1820s and was destroyed by a flood in 1837. A second bridge built the next year was also damaged beyond repair by a flood on July 13, 1842. The third bridge collapsed in 1856 due to heavy use and fatigue from weathering. None of these earlier bridges were either arched or covered. All three bridges were a part of the James River and Kanawha Turnpike, a heavily used mountain road that connected the Shenandoah Valley with the Alleghany Mountains and areas further west. The current bridge was built in 1857 and the design of both covering and also arching the bridge was hoped to increase the longevity of the bridge by protecting the midsection from future floods and the decking from the ravaging effects of moisture and sunlight.
The Humpback Covered Bridge was used from 1857 to 1929, when a steel truss bridge was built for U.S. Highway 60 immediately to the north. The bridge was abandoned but was sometimes used by a local farmer into the early 1950s to store hay bales. In 1953, the Virginia Highway Department matched a $5,000 fund that had been raised by the Covington Business and Professional Women's Club and the Covington Chamber of Commerce. Five acres surrounding the bridge were purchased and a small wayside park which opened in 1954 was built, allowing easier access. On October 1, 1969, the bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Most covered bridges were made of the strongest readily available wood. In the case of the Humpback Covered Bridge, this meant white oak and hickory. The bridge, as it stands today, has most of the original hand-hewn support timbers and decking that was laid down in 1857, however, most of the walls and roofing have been replaced several times since. Bridge decking was traditionally constructed of wide planks a foot (30.5 cm) or more in width and 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) in thickness. Most of the support beams are at least a foot thick (30.5 cm). The supports in the bridge utilized hand made honey locust wood pins to fasten sections of the supports together. The supports incorporate a unique curved multiple kingpost-truss system that is not found in any other surviving wooden bridge in the U.S. The bridge is an original and completely unique design not duplicated anywhere else.

On NY State's Path Through History (2013)
The William C. and Anna Krueger Barn was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 20, 2023. Photographs by SHPO staff August 2021.
The Krueger Barn in Pembrook Township, Edmunds County, was built c.1904. The dairy barn has a gambrel roof with side lean-tos, animal pens with wood feed racks, milking parlor and a bottle feeding/weaned calves’ area, and a Shawver truss system roof.
William Krueger's father Charles Wilhelm Krueger had emigrated from Germany to Wisconsin in 1867 with his first wife Caroline. After her death, he married Emelia Hinkelmann. The family moved to Edmunds County by 1887. In c.1907, son William married Anna Potensia Lundquiste. Their oldest son Lewis took over the farm c.1934. In 1935, Lewis married Evelyn Cora Boyle (1916-2007). According to their son, during the 1930s, Lewis received loans through the New Deal to help purchase seed and feed for the farm. They also supplemented income by trapping and selling muskrats, minks, coyotes, and foxes as the furs prices held throughout that period.
The barn served a few different functions for the cattle that the Krueger’s had. From the milking, they would bring the cream north about four miles to Wetonka, McPherson County, to leave at the depot. The center aisle is flanked by multiple pens on either side for mothers and their calves while the northern lean-to would be used as a storm shelter for the whole herd during extreme winter weather conditions. Along with raising cattle and hay, the Kruegers also raised sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowl throughout the years. Childhood memories include dances held up in the barn’s haymow. Most often, the musical entertainment would be provided by a local man with an accordion and refreshments would be sold out of his uncle’s truck.
This bridge replaced a “modern” bridge which, in turn, had replaced the previous covered bridge on this site.
Long Meadow Bridge
Bloomington, Minnesota
Listed 05/28/2013
Reference Number: 13000324
The Long Meadow Bridge was constructed in 1920 using the Camelback through truss system, a variant of the Pratt truss system. It possesses significance under National Register of Historic Places Criterion Cat the state level in the area of Engineering. Built to span the wide overflow of the Minnesota River, the Long Meadow Bridge required the placement of five through trusses to meet this engineering challenge. When constructed, it was the longest steel highway bridge with concrete flooring in the state; today it remains as the state's longest Pratt through truss bridge, and is one of only five bridges using a Camelback through truss system considered historic. 4 The Long Meadow Bridge meets the registration requirements of the Multiple Property Documentation Form for the statewide context of Iron and Steel Bridges in Minnesota. Specifically, it is a bridge that exhibits exceptional engineering skill to meet unusual site conditions. The bridge's period of significance is 1920, the date it was completed.

RYE, NY -- On Tuesday, August 4th, the Jay Heritage Center was awarded $391,056 in Superstorm Sandy funding to repair significant roof and infrastructure damage to the 1917 Palmer Tennis House. The structure located at the Jay Estate in Rye is the 3rd oldest remaining indoor tennis house in the country. The grant will allow the Jay Heritage Center to save the original wood truss system and copper trimmed skylights as well as stabilize the stone foundation and clapboard siding. Improvements will facilitate historic usage and interpretation.
Congressman Eliot Engel who wrote a letter of support for the project explained: “Superstorm Sandy took a heavy toll on areas of the Long Island Sound, particularly Rye, which is still recovering from the damage almost three years later. The roof of the Palmer Tennis House at the historic Jay Heritage Center endured significant damage in the storm, and as a result was in desperate need of repairs. Now, thanks to Governor Cuomo’s allocation of $391,056 in grant money to the Center, the roof can be stabilized and restored, and this historic property can once again be enjoyed by everyone in the Rye community and beyond.”
JHC was one of 16 historic organizations awarded a share of more than $6 million in aid to restore NY heritage sites devastated by the hurricane in 2012. Other sites awarded grants include Fraunces Tavern, Old Westbury Gardens and Green-Wood Cemetery.
Once preserved and rehabilitated, the 1917 Palmer Indoor Tennis House has the potential to be a resonant venue for young individuals to learn the sport of tennisand its life lessons of sportsmanship in a rare historic setting. With this grant as a keystone, JHC hopes that private donors and corporations who are passionate about preservation and their community will step forward and help complete the project.
Assemblyman Steve Otis, who worked to preserve this building when he was mayor of Rye, stated: “The Palmer Tennis House is of great architectural and historical importance and its restoration offers valuable opportunities for public use and enjoyment. Many thanks go to Governor Cuomo and OPRHP for their support of these repairs and storm recovery projects throughout the state."
The project has also received a ringing endorsement from the USTA which has offices in nearby White Plains. Executive Director Gordon Smith wrote: "The USTA believes in celebrating inclusion and promoting the idea that tennis should be available to everyone to play and compete equally and fairly. We are committed to diversity which is a pillar principle behind our signature tournament, the US Open. By restoring the Palmer Tennis House, this will open such doors."

STS113-E-5037 (25 November 2002) --- The International Space Station (ISS) is backdropped against the blackness of space as the Space Shuttle Endeavour quickly closes the distance to the orbital outpost for a Nov. 25 rendezvous. Endeavour went on to dock with the International Space Station at 3:59 p.m. (CST), bringing a new crew and another segment of the station's backbone, the Port One (P1)segment of the Integrated Truss System. The rendezvous and docking of Endeavour with astronaut James D. Wetherbee, mission commander, at the controls, occurred about 248 statute miles above the South Pacific off the southeastern coast of Australia.
RMD Kwikform has supplied a specialist truss system to complete works on the redevelopment of Birmingham New Street train station, also known as the New Street Gateway Project for Network Rail.
Noticeably different from the common or garden King post roof truss system.
The illustrator's 'broken wood' technique of showing the individual components is striking.

From Wikipedia:
The Humpback Covered Bridge located in the U.S. state of Virginia, is one of the only remaining covered bridges in the United States that was built higher in the middle than on either end; hence the name of "humpback". The bridge was built in 1857 and is also the oldest remaining covered bridge in the state of Virginia. Its WGCB number is 46-03-01. The bridge spans a tributary of the Jackson River known as Dunlap Creek, for a distance of 109 feet (33 m). The humpback feature is 4 feet (1.2 m) higher in the center than at either end. The bridge is located near the city of Covington, Virginia.
Three bridges stood at approximately the same location as Humpback Covered Bridge does today. The first bridge was built in the 1820s and was destroyed by a flood in 1837. A second bridge built the next year was also damaged beyond repair by a flood on July 13, 1842. The third bridge collapsed in 1856 due to heavy use and fatigue from weathering. None of these earlier bridges were either arched or covered. All three bridges were a part of the James River and Kanawha Turnpike, a heavily used mountain road that connected the Shenandoah Valley with the Alleghany Mountains and areas further west. The current bridge was built in 1857 and the design of both covering and also arching the bridge was hoped to increase the longevity of the bridge by protecting the midsection from future floods and the decking from the ravaging effects of moisture and sunlight.
The Humpback Covered Bridge was used from 1857 to 1929, when a steel truss bridge was built for U.S. Highway 60 immediately to the north. The bridge was abandoned but was sometimes used by a local farmer into the early 1950s to store hay bales. In 1953, the Virginia Highway Department matched a $5,000 fund that had been raised by the Covington Business and Professional Women's Club and the Covington Chamber of Commerce. Five acres surrounding the bridge were purchased and a small wayside park which opened in 1954 was built, allowing easier access. On October 1, 1969, the bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Most covered bridges were made of the strongest readily available wood. In the case of the Humpback Covered Bridge, this meant white oak and hickory. The bridge, as it stands today, has most of the original hand-hewn support timbers and decking that was laid down in 1857, however, most of the walls and roofing have been replaced several times since. Bridge decking was traditionally constructed of wide planks a foot (30.5 cm) or more in width and 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) in thickness. Most of the support beams are at least a foot thick (30.5 cm). The supports in the bridge utilized hand made honey locust wood pins to fasten sections of the supports together. The supports incorporate a unique curved multiple kingpost-truss system that is not found in any other surviving wooden bridge in the U.S. The bridge is an original and completely unique design not duplicated anywhere else.
See more pictures of this covered bridge in my Covered Bridges of Virginia set.
The Johnson Creek Covered Bridge is located in rural southeastern Robertson County, and is currently closed to vehicular traffic. The bridge is important as the only known example of Robert Smith's truss system in Kentucky and the only covered bridge extant known to have been built by Jacob N. Bower (1819-1906).
The bridge was constructed in 1874. It is now one of less than 20 that remain of what were once four hundred covered bridges in Kentucky. Around 1912, Jacob Bower's son, Louis, added an arch on each side to support increased traffic using the bridge. The bridge is 114 feet long and 16 feet wide, according to Louis Bower, grandson of Jacob Bower and a local covered bridge builder.
It is located on what is now a bypass named Covered Bridge Road, off Kentucky Route 1029 (Old Blue Lick Road), about 6.4 miles southeast of Mount Olivet by road. It crosses Johnson Creek, a tributary to the Licking River.

The William H. Kessler House is a one-story residence with fully glazed curtain walls on the front and rear elevations and brick masonry side walls. The house, which is roughly square in plan, has a distinctive three-bay, folded-plate roof and a tall brick garden wall that screens the transparent façade from the street. Constructed in 1959, the Kessler home is a notable example of Modern residential architecture designed by William H. Kessler for himself and his family. The glass window walls are supported by a thin steel frame and the glazing is extended up into the gables producing a dramatic effect and enhancing the modern aesthetic. The folded-plate roof is comprised of 4” thick structural wood decking eliminating the need for an exposed truss system. The buff brick garden wall at the front of the house encloses a linear courtyard along the primary elevation. The northwest and southeast-facing side walls are clad with buff brick capped with a wood fascia set just below the roofline. The house’s main entrance is located in the center of the southeast elevation. A flat roof extends over the entry to a small rectangular storage shed clad with vertical wood boards. To the north of the storage shed is a two-vehicle carport with a flat roof that was designed by Kessler and added in 1964.
The William and Margot (Walbreaker) Kessler House is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria B and C at the state level as a notable example of the Modern Movement and for its association with architect William Kessler. The Kessler House was designed by Harvard-trained architect William H. Kessler for himself and his family in the early stages of his career, a few years after establishing an architectural practice with Philip J. Meathe and Harry Smith in 1955 (Meathe, Kessler & Associates). Built in 1959, the Kessler House possesses significance in the category of Architecture as an innovative residential design exhibiting the fundamental characteristics of the Modern Movement including its simple geometric form, use of large expanses of glass to bring nature and sunlight into the interior, and its open and free-flowing floor plan. The house is also distinctive for its folded-plate roof supported on a thin steel frame and the incorporation of a brick screen wall on the primary street-facing façade. Despite Kessler’s intention to live and work in Michigan for only a few years, he remained in the state for his entire career developing a successful private practice and contributing significantly to Michigan’s architectural legacy during the Modern and Post-Modern eras. Kessler was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1968 for his outstanding contributions to the profession and has been referred to as one of Detroit’s greatest modernists. During the second half of the twentieth century, Kessler designed many of Detroit’s most recognizable buildings and his work has received numerous awards and citations.
The Kessler House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 2013.
