Tucked into northwest Arkansas ' Ozark Mountains, Eureka Springs is a place where contradictions don't just coexist, they define the destination. It's a Victorian-era spa town and a paranormal hotspot, a biker mecca and a proudly LGBTQ+ enclave nicknamed "the gayest small town in America." In the Ozarks, "the place where misfits fit," Eureka Springs wears that identity especially well, drawing artists, nature lovers, and free spirits of all kinds for over a century.

Fans of San Francisco's historic architecture, get ready: This story offers a tantalizing treat, as well as tragic disappointment. In 116 Cherry St. we have an example of architectural royalty: a preserved Willis Polk single-family home, one of this hallowed San Francisco architect's first commissions. But you can't own this home, because it flew off the market in less than a month - and the price it sold for could blow your mind.

Argyle Passage links the busy Tottenham High Road with Argyle Road behind and has always been a pedestrian route, dating back to when this area of countryside was first transformed into the urban sprawl we know today. Although Tottenham remained rural until the 19th century, the High Road itself is ancient - a descendant of the Roman Ermine Street, later diverted slightly to avoid the flood-prone Moselle Brook.

Russell was a trailblazer in every sense, developing nearly 90 row houses in the Bedford Historic District, located in northwest Brooklyn, New York, between 1871 and 1892. She often served as the owner, architect, and builder simultaneouslyunusual for a woman working in the male-dominated building industry of the Gilded Age. Her designs feature distinctive feminine flourishes: delicate plaster tapestries running along hallways and staircases, graceful curves in woodwork, and ornate ceiling medallions.

Ocean Grove, known for its Victorian architecture, is a dry town where the Hotel Albatross offers a unique charm under strict historical preservation guidelines.

In Bed-Stuy, summers come alive with block parties and open fire hydrants, while winter nights bring steam-fogged wine bars filled with laughter among friends.

The old meat traders' building was constructed with a market inside and a row of market shops on the outside. With the museum restoring the building, it is now seeking tenants to occupy the reopened shops.

This renovation successfully revitalizes a late 19th-century Victorian home, ensuring it meets modern needs for a retiring couple while preserving its heritage character.

This pocket park, once part of a larger village green, was cut in half during tram construction in 1885, now reduced to tiny remnants.

As a river town with a rich maritime legacy, Hudson has long been a hub for exploration, commerce, and culture. We wanted the hotel to reflect that heritage.
