The Glenwood Cemetery Chapel is eligible under Criterion C of the National Register of Historic Places criteria for evaluation as a significant example of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture. The building also has special merit as the work of noted Washington architect Glenn Brown and reflects a significant period in the design career of a national leader of the architectural profession. Brown particularly valued the elemental discipline of Henry Hobson Richardson's work, and the Glenwood Chapel epitomized the studied manner in which the architect inter preted the "Richardsonian Romanesque." The building is also highly representative of the design principles Brown espoused in the early 1890s just prior to the initiation of his celebrated crusade for the improvement of federal art and architecture, particularly the revival of Pierre Charles L'Enfant's 1791 plan for Washington. Although the Glenwood chapel is used for religious services on occasion, it meets the National Register's criterion exception A as an ecclesiastical building deriving primary significance from its architectural distinction.

Eglise partiellement romane Saint-Hilaire ; commune de Rimons, département de la Gironde, Aquitaine, France
Monument d'origine romane érigé au XIIe siècle. Au XVIe siècle la nef est abandonnée. Le chevet est conservé et se voit adjoint une nef gothique à deux travées. Cette modification entraîne un changement d'orientation du chœur qui est à ce jour à l'ouest. Durant les guerres de religions, une échauguette a été ajoutée au sommet du contrefort nord-est de l'édifice. Celle-ci présente la particularité d'être partiellement bâtie à l'aide d'une pierre tombale marquée d'une croix.

A l'origine, l'église Saint-Hilaire fut un sanctuaire roman. Au début du XVIème siècle, la nef est abandonnée ; le chevet, conservé, est alors protégé par une nef gothique à deux travées à nervures sans chapiteau. Cette modification entraîne l'orientation du choeur à l'ouest, ce qui est rare. L'entrée actuelle, située à l'extrémité de la nef, date de 1725. L'église est coiffée d'un clocher plat percé de trois baies, chacune d'elle possèdant une cloche ; le sommet du clochet, muni d'une galerie en bois, est accessible par une tourelle escalier.
