The Claude O. Marcyes House, at 390 S. 7th Ave. in Forsyth, Montana, was built in 1899. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. [1]

It is a one-and-a-half-story home which is asserted to have some elements of Queen Anne style. Zeb Tart, a stonemason and bricklayer, is believed to have done much of its construction. It was deemed "significant as an excellent surviving example of the Queen Anne building form in Forsyth, and is an unusually intact representative of early brick residential construction. It is also significant for its association with Hiram R. Marcyes, one of the two leading entrepreneurs and developers in pioneer Forsyth. This home is the best surviving example of a number of brick homes erected in Forsyth's southside under Marcyes' sponsorship." [2]

The architecture of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador has a style distinct from that of the rest of Canada, and its major buildings are remnants of its history and prestige as the first British colonial capital. The city of St. John's has had a long history, with inhabitation dating to the 16th century onwards. As the city grew, so, too, did the landscape. Buildings took a variety of styles according to the styles and means available to build the structures. Starting as a fishing outpost for European fishermen, St. John's consisted mostly of the homes of fishermen, sheds, storage shacks, and wharves. Of course, these structures were small and constructed out of wood. Like many other cities of the time, as the Industrial Revolution took hold and new methods and materials for construction were introduced, the landscape changed as the city grew in width and height. The Great Fire of 1892 destroyed most of the downtown core, and most residential and other wood-frame buildings date from this period. Often compared to San Francisco because of its hilly terrain and steep maze of residential streets, housing in St. John's is typically painted in bright colours, unlike most other parts of Canada.
