    1- Read and answer the questions about National Historic Landmark

    This building, which is the original headquarters of the Lord and Lady Department Store Company, was designed by the famous
    architect Archibald Morgan. It was built by the Vanderpool Construction Company. Construction was begun in 1845 and was
    completed in 1847.

    The building was officially opened in ceremonies that were held on April 13,
    1847. These ceremonies were attended by the mayors of several cities, the
    governor, and the vice president of the United States.

    The building’s interior was destroyed by a fire that broke out in the early
    hours of the morning of February 3, 1895. After the fire, the building wasn’t
    used for several years.

    During World War I the structure was used as a warehouse for clothing and
    other materials that were sent to our soldiers overseas. After the War, the
    interior was rebuilt. Electric lights and modern plumbing were installed, and
    the Lord and Lady Department Store was officially reopened on June 17,
    1921.

    Since its opening day, the Lord and Lady Department Store has been
    considered one of the finest examples of nineteenth-century American
    architecture. The store has been visited by the presidents and prime ministers
    of many countries.
