The Pearl Street Station The first power plant in th U.S. opened at 3 o'clock pm on September 4,1882. By Thomas Edison who publicly presented a complete system of commercial electric lighting and power. The first light bill was $50.44 sent to the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company on January 18,1883. The offices of the New York Times were among the first to get the new system. I feel this is a great building because without it we would not be able to play this great game.

I would like to nominate the Ponce de León Hotel, a Hotel that was the love child of many names we still know today, and it is a beauty.

From Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponce_de_León_Hotel)
The Ponce de León Hotel was an exclusive hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, built by millionaire developer and Standard Oil co-founder Henry M. Flagler and completed in 1888. The Hotel Ponce de Leon was designed in the Spanish Renaissance style by the New York architects John Carrère and Thomas Hastings, and was constructed entirely of poured concrete, using the local coquina stone as aggregrate. The hotel also was wired for electricity at the onset, with the power being supplied by D.C. generators supplied by Flagler's friend, Thomas Edison.

For progressive Architecture, most of my first choices were to be found on page one. I would still like to recommend the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. Specifically The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio at 951 Chicago Avenue in Oak Park, Illinois, has been restored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust to its appearance in 1909, the last year Frank Lloyd Wright lived there with his family.[SUP][3][/SUP]Frank Lloyd Wright purchased the property and built the home in 1889 with a $5,000 loan from his employer Louis Sullivan.[SUP][3][/SUP] He was 22 at the time, and newly wed to Catherine Tobin. The Wrights raised six children in the home.[SUP][3][/SUP] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and declared a National Historic Landmark four years later.

Progressive Great Building - Mercer Museum

Mercer Museum, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, USA

SetRatioSize800800-Mercer-Museum-overview-from-ashland-by-Jeffrey-Totaro2.jpg


Built in 1916, the Mercer Museum was an early pour-in-place rebar-reinforced concrete built ‘castle’ whose sole purpose was to preserve the story of human progress and accomplishments as told by the tools and objects people used in daily life – collected by Henry Mercer, anthropologist, before the memory of them disappeared.

World Trade Center. They Should be never forgotten and would make a wonderful addition to the game giving the obvious supplies and coin boast equal to the lives lost multiplied by the level if not for the Progressive Age maybe a future age would be more time fitting
