Moose Temple (Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin)
The Moose Temple is a historic Loyal Order of Moose clubhouse in downtown Fond du Lac, Wisconsin completed in 1924. The National Register of Historic Places listed the structure, now known as the City Center Lofts, in 1993. History On June 9, 1910, 164 charter members founded Lodge No. 281 of the Loyal Order of Moose. Under the leadership of William S. Dhyr, the local group grew to 1,500 members and began planning for a dedicated clubhouse, raising $225,000 by 1923 . The original floorplan consisted of street-facing retail units on the first floor, club offices on the second floor, and a large meeting hall on the third floor and mezzanine. The building opened in 1924 but the Moose lost ownership in 1930 as a result of the Great Depression. Subsequently, a number of different groups occupied the building. The Fraternal Order of Eagles ran it as their own clubhouse from 1930 to 1941. Under the leadership of Lavelle Thompson Maze, the Fond du Lac Commercial College taught their ...

Party Wall
A party wall (occasionally parti-wall or parting wall, shared wall, also known as common wall or as a demising wall) is a wall shared by two adjoining properties. Typically, the builder lays the wall along a property line dividing two terraced houses, so that one half of the wall's thickness lies on each side. This type of wall is usually structural. Party walls can also be formed by two abutting walls built at different times. The term can be also used to describe a division between separate units within a multi-unit apartment complex. Very often the wall in this case is non-structural but designed to meet established criteria for sound and/or fire protection, i.e. a firewall. England and Wales While party walls are effectively in common ownership of two or more immediately adjacent owners, there are various possibilities for legal ownership: the wall may belong to both tenants (in common), to one tenant or the other, or partly to one, partly to the other. In cases where the o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cornices
In architecture, a cornice (from the Italian ''cornice'' meaning "ledge") is generally any horizontal decorative moulding that crowns a building or furniture element—for example, the cornice over a door or window, around the top edge of a pedestal, or along the top of an interior wall. A simple cornice may be formed with a crown, as in crown moulding atop an interior wall or above kitchen cabinets or a bookcase. A projecting cornice on a building has the function of throwing rainwater free of its walls. In residential building practice, this function is handled by projecting gable ends, roof eaves, and gutters. However, house eaves may also be called "cornices" if they are finished with decorative moulding. In this sense, while most cornices are also eaves (overhanging the sides of the building), not all eaves are usually considered cornices. Eaves are primarily functional and not necessarily decorative, while cornices have a decorative aspect. A building's projecting co ...

Stringcourse
A belt course, also called a string course or sill course, is a continuous row or layer of stones or brick set in a wall. Set in line with window sills, it helps to make the horizontal line of the sills visually more prominent. Set between the floors of a house, it helps to make the separate floors distinguishable from the exterior of the building. The belt course often projects from the side of the building. Georgian architecture is notable for the use of belt courses. Although the belt course has its origins as a structural component of a building, by the 18th century it was almost purely a decorative element and had no functional purpose. In brick or stone buildings taller than three stories, however, a shelf angle is usually used to transfer the load of the wall to a hidden, interior steel wall. Flashing is used to cover the space exposed by the shelf angle to help limit the intrusion of water. Where flashing is considered aesthetically unpleasing, a belt course is often us ...

Lunette Window
A lunette (French ''lunette'', 'little moon') is a crescent- or half-moon–shaped or semi-circular architectural space or feature, variously filled with sculpture, painted, glazed, filled with recessed masonry, or void. A lunette may also be segmental, and the arch may be an arc taken from an oval. A lunette window is commonly called a ''half-moon window'', or fanlight when bars separating its panes fan out radially. If a door is set within a round-headed arch, the space within the arch above the door, masonry or glass is a lunette. If the door is a major access, and the lunette above is massive and deeply set, it may be called a Tympanum (architecture), tympanum. A lunette is also formed when a horizontal cornice (architecture), cornice transects a round-headed arch at the level of the Impost (architecture), imposts, where the arch springs. If the top of the lunette itself is bordered by a hood mould it can also be considered a pediment. The term is also employed to descri ...
