Charles Burggraf

Charles Henry Burggraf (1866–1942)[1] was an American architect primarily working in Salem, Oregon, and Albany, Oregon, who also worked in Hastings, Nebraska, and in Grand Junction, Colorado.[2] A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[3]

Garfield County Courthouse (Pomeroy, Washington)
Sherman County Courthouse (Moro, Oregon)

Burggraf was a prolific architect of public buildings such as courthouses, hospitals, university buildings, schools and churches. Among his works are courthouses for nine of Oregon's 36 counties (in Coos, Douglas, Gilliam, Lake, Lincoln, Linn, Sherman, Wheeler, and Tillamook counties, of which only the Tillamook, Wheeler, and Sherman buildings survived in 1998). Of hospital buildings, during 1893 to 1909 he designed three buildings at the Fairview Training Center, three at the Oregon State Hospital, and three at the Hospital Cottage Home. At the Oregon Agricultural College (later Oregon State University), he designed Waldo Hall (a women's dormitory) and the Agricultural Hall. At the Eastern Oregon Experiment Station in Union, he designed two buildings. He designed numerous public schools in Oregon, including in Albany, Ashland, Bandon, Carlton, Coquille, Corvallis, Cottage Grove, Dayton, Drain, Eugene, Fossil, Grants Pass, Jacksonville, Jefferson, Junction City, Klamath Falls, Lakeview, Medford, North Bend, North Yamhill, Roseburg, Salem, Springfield, and Union. He also designed churches, commercial buildings, at least one hotel and one bank and one library, and other buildings.[4]

gollark: You could do it both ways I guess, perhaps with a switch.
gollark: If you tracked clicks on each internal link you could estimate connection importance that way. Or manually specify importance levels. Or have something to emphasise links between big clusters.
gollark: > it seems like you're talking more about an API?Yes, I think the ability to do that might be more useful to (some) external services than having UI in Athens itself.> Dokuwiki does seem interesting thoughIt's a pretty good selfhosted wiki engine. It doesn't have knowledge-graph-y features because it was mostly made before that became a topic of interest, but does have... search, links, somewhat okay formatting, and many plugins. I currently run an instance because it seemed the best available stable thing when I was setting up things and it is quite hard to migrate now.
gollark: Sorry if I'm explaining this somewhat badly. I can probably clarify. I mean something like this (https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:struct) but without necessarily having to define a schema somewhere. I think this would be good for a few categories of thing, such as, say, exporting a list of cards (defined in notes) into a spaced repetition system. Possibly calendar events/reminders too, but you'd probably want a way to remove expired ones.
gollark: Regarding integration/plugins (I didn't see this being thought of here before or on github when I did a search, but my queries might have been bad): a nice/general way to integrate some types of external service without having to integrate per-service code could be to have a way to have blocks containing arbitrary machine-readable data (with a nice UI to edit it) and a type field, and an API to find all/all recent blocks with a given type.
