<p>The Whitney & Company building is a historic industrial facility in Leominster, Massachusetts. The utilitarian brick four-story building was built in 1893, and extended in 1923. It was built by Fred Abbot Whitney and Walther F. Whitney, whose business was the manufacture of boxes, notably paper boxes and satin-lined boxes, used for shipping other products to customers. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It has since been converted into residences called the Watermill Apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitney & Company facility is located northeast of downtown Leominster, on a parcel bounded by Whitney, Water, and Oak Streets. The surviving building of the complex is a long wood-frame structure, on the north side of Water Street. It is finished in wooden clapboards, and is nominally three stories in height, with part of its basement fully exposed on the Whitney Street side. Near the center of the Water Street facade is a four-story tower with a shallow-pitch hip roof. The northern portion of the parcel originally housed 20th-century additions to the plant; these have been removed, and the space now serves as parking for the building residents.</p><br>
<p>The Whitney Brothers who had this plant built were sons of Frederick Whitney, who had established the F. A. Whitney Carriage Company located across Whitney Street. The brothers had begun the manufacture of boxes in 1886 in a building nearer downtown Leominster. The business was a success, and this plant was built in 1893 to house its operations. It underwent a number of expansions in the 1910s and 1920s, manufacturing all manner and style of folding boxes, used for the shipment of goods such as shirts and combs, which were produced in other Leominster factories. The business continued in operation on these premises until 1961. It is the largest of Leominster&#39;s surviving wood-frame industrial plants.</p><br>
<p>Phillipston Center Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Phillipston, Massachusetts. The town was first settled in 1751 on land grants made in the 1730s, and was incorporated as a separate town in the 1770s. The surviving village center not far from the location of the first settlement, eventually came to include a tavern. After incorporation, the center developed around what is now the junction of the Baldwinville, Petersham, and Templeton Roads, although this took time, possibly because of difficulties associated with the American Revolutionary War. As a result, the district has relatively few properties that date to the 18th century. All of these are modest vernacular residential structures. The town grew only modestly until 1830, after which time its population declined, not reaching the same level until 1980, 150 years later. As a result of the lack of growth, most of the properties in the district are Federal and Greek Revival in character. Many of the institutional buildings in the center date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The town common is an irregularly shaped trapezoid, which is mostly grassy, with lines of mature trees at its fringes. There are no buildings on the common itself, with residential and civic buildings lining the roadways that define its boundaries. It is anchored on the north by the Congregational Church, built in 1786 and altered and given Greek Revival styling in 1837, and the south by the town hall, built in 1891 with Victorian Gothic styling. Just east of the church is the town library, formerly a district school; built in the 1830s, it is distinctive for its four-column Greek Revival temple front.</p><br>
<p>Royalston Common Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic village center of Royalston, Massachusetts. Centered on a long town common laid out in 1752, it is one of the best surviving examples of an 18th-century town center in the state. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The common was named as one of the 1,000 places to visit in Massachusetts by the Great Places in Massachusetts Commission.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now Royalston was purchased by a group of Boston businessmen in 1752, and its town common and cemetery were laid out at that time. Development progressed slowly in the 18th century, with a flurry of construction in 1800 resulting in the erection of several houses, shops, and a meeting house. The town was briefly of economic importance as a market center for surrounding agricultural communities, which waned by 1850. By then it had adopted its now largely residential character, with several fine houses built by the owners of mills in South Royalston adding some architectural interest.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on a north-south stretch of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 68), between two separate complex junctions each involving three streets radiating out to neighboring towns. The town common, which this area is centered on, was laid out in 1752, and achieved its present shape about 1840. Flanking the common and lining the nearby roads are a collection of residences, most dating before 1850, and the town&#39;s major municipal buildings, with relatively little alteration since the 1850s. Notable late additions and alterations to the common include the 1867 Second Empire town hall, and the 1911 Colonial Revival library.</p><br>
<p>The South Lancaster Engine House is a historic fire station at 283 South Main Street in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. Built in 1888, it is the town&#39;s oldest operating firestation, and a distinctive example of period Victorian architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It presently houses engines 3 and 4 of the Lancaster Fire Department.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The South Lancaster Engine House is located in the village center of South Lancaster, on the east side of South Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70) just north of its junction with Bolton Road. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and exterior finished mainly in wooden clapboards. Its front facade has two equipment bays with overhead doors (replacements for original swinging doors), and two horse stalls. The walls are flared between the first and second floors, with decorative cut shingles on the flaring. The center of the front facade has three round-headed windows, rising into a wall dormer beneath a short bell tower with an open belfry topped by a curved hip roof.</p><br>
<p>The fire station was built in 1888, and is one of the oldest fire stations in the area still in active service. Although the town had funded a municipal fire service since 1848, this was the first structure built by the town for storage of fire equipment. Early equipment housed here included an engine, wagons, and a sleigh, some of which were designed to be pulled by manpower and others by horses.</p><br>
<p>Upton Town Hall is a historic town hall at 1 Main Street in Upton, Massachusetts, United States. The Late Gothic Revival/Queen Anne brick building was built in 1884 to a design by Worcester architects E. Boyden & Son. It features irregular massing typical of Queen Anne style, with a variety of gables and roof lines. When first built, the building housed town offices and the library, the latter of which has since moved out. The interior includes a richly-decorated auditorium.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Jonah Warren House is a historic house at 64 Warren Street in Westborough, Massachusetts. Estimated to have been built in the 1720s, this -story wood-frame house is one of the oldest buildings in Westborough. It was built along what was known as the Old Connecticut Path, a former Native American trail. Jonah Warren, the owner and probable builder, moved to Westborough in 1719. A tanner by trade, he also helped to build the first meetinghouse in Westborough.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway–Armory Historic District is a historic district encompassing a mainly residential mixed-used urban area west of downtown Providence, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district is one which saw its most significant growth between the 1830s and 1910s. It is in roughly in the shape of an inverted boot, whose east–west axis is Broadway between Dean and Messer Streets, and whose north–south spine is centered on Dexter Field, extending from Cranston Street in the south to Grove Street in the north, with its western bound at Messer Street and its eastern bound at Bridgham Street. Most of the area consists of residential wood-frame construction on smaller lots, with commercial development most evident on Broadway and Westminster Street. The Cranston Street Armory anchors the southern end of Dexter Field, a public park that was formerly a militia training ground. There are more than 1,000 historically significant buildings in the district.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974,</p><br>
<h3>Dexter Training Ground</h3><br>
<p>The Armory stands at the southern end of the Dexter Training Ground, a plot of land which was donated to the City of Providence by Ebenezer Knight Dexter for holding military exercises. The Training Ground was used as an encampment and drill field during the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>In July 1917, doughboys camped at Dexter Training Ground as they prepared to depart for Europe and World War I.</p><br>
<p>Today the land is a heavily used neighborhood park. The park features a playground, and attracts dog walkers and strollers. A bronze statue of benefactor and namesake Ebenezer Knight Dexter stands at the northern end of the park.</p><br>
<p>In July 2020, mayor Jorge Elorza held an outdoor ceremony in Dexter Training Ground where he signed an executive order to come up with a “truth-telling and reparations process” in Providence.</p><br>

<p>The Friday Morning Club building is located in Downtown Los Angeles, California. It was the second home of the women&#39;s club also named the Friday Morning Club , for 61 years.</p><br>
<p>The large and elaborate six−story clubhouse was designed by architects Allison & Allison in an Italian Renaissance Revival style, and built in 1923.</p><br>
<h2>Club history</h2><br>
<p>The club was founded by abolitionist, suffragist, mother, and Los Angeles homemaker Caroline Severance in 1891, with 87 other women in the reading room of the Hollenbeck Hotel, then located at Second and Broadway. The Friday Morning Club became the largest women&#39;s club in California, with membership of over 1,800 women by the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Womens clubs were a mainstay of middle-class womens social and intellectual life across America from the end of the Civil War until the middle of the 20th century, when their numbers declined as opportunities increased for women&#39;s equal participation in mainstream business, educational, and social institutions.</p><br>
<p>Caroline Severance had founded one of the first such clubs in the nation, the New England Womens Club of Boston in 1868. Her known political associations gave the FMC a (deserved) reputation as a politically-active powerhouse for community improvement in Los Angeles. To meet their goals of self-improvement, study of the arts, literature and culture and the political and social advancement of women, the womens clubs built or renovated a building to serve as their club house as soon as they could raise the funds. To protect the club and its assets in an era of less-than-solid property rights for married women, clubs routinely formed a stock corporation to raise and invest money for a clubhouse campaign, and usually recruited an unmarried member to serve as secretary or treasurer of the club&#39;s finances.</p><br>
<h2>Clubhouse history</h2><br>
<p>The FMC&#39;s first clubhouse was at the same location, and was a Mission Revival-style two-story building that cost $25,000 to build in 1900.</p><br>
<p>When World War I increased their membership far beyond the capacity of that building, the Friday Morning Club dismantled it, sold it with its furnishings to the Catholic Womans Club, and built the current six-story Italian Renaissance Revival-style structure on its site in 1923. Its two auditoriums and seating for nearly 2,000 made it suitable to the Friday Morning Clubs popular arts and theater programs in the 1920s and 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Figueroa Hotel was built directly across the street from the Friday Morning Club in 1925. It was also financed and managed by women, to meet the needs of business, professional, and traveling women in Los Angeles. The two are a microcosm of the increasingly important and complex roles women were playing in American society in the 1920s.</p><br>
<h3>Society for the Preservation of Variety Arts</h3><br>
<p>The club sold the building&#39;s title in 1977 to the Society for the Preservation of Variety Arts, who used the Variety Arts Theater auditorium for live plays, cabarets, meals and revivals of early stage and radio dramas, and for filming and special events rentals. The Society also displayed extensive collections in the field of theater arts in the building. The SPVA Library is open as a research facility to serious students of the theater arts.</p><br>
<p>The Friday Morning Clubs members continued to meet and serve the community, from the leased-back 5th floor and later rented quarters on Wilshire Boulevard, until the 1990s. Today, the Ebell of Los Angeles is the largest functioning womans club in the city, with approximately 400 members and a large 1927 clubhouse in the Hancock Park district.</p><br>
<p>The building was sold to AEG in 2004, then subsequently sold to property developer David Houk in 2007. In October 2015, Hillsong Church Los Angeles announced that they had signed a 15-year lease on the property, with two five-year extension options, and will use the building for church services and offices. After extensive renovations, Hillsong LA expects to move into the building in early 2017.</p><br>
<h3>Landmark</h3><br>
<p>The Friday Morning Club building is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, meeting the criteria for both social history and architectural significance.</p><br>

<p>St. Peters Church, also known as the Church of St. Peter the Apostle, is a nearly 200-years-old Catholic church located in Marylands Eastern Shore near Queenstown. It is a prominent landmark along USA Route 50 in Maryland, which is part of the main route from Washington and Baltimore to Atlantic beach resort towns in Maryland and Delaware.</p><br>
<p>Catholics came to Kent Island around 1639, and moved to what became the Queenstown area shortly afterwards. They originally practiced their religion discreetly in their homes. The parish of St. Peters was established in 1765, and the original chapel was constructed some time in the next 20 years. This was the third permanent mission on Marylands Eastern Shore. Construction of the present church began in 1823 and was completed in 1827. The building was expanded in 1877 after fundraisers were unable to raise enough money to build a completely new building in town. A portion of the church&#39;s exterior shell is the only part remaining from the 1827 structure.</p><br>
<p>The church, which is built in the Victorian-Gothic style, has a steep roof and rose windows, and is located very near to the road. The interior is mostly the same as it was in the 1877 Victorian construction period, and contains all of the stained glass and altar furniture from that period. The church was placed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and setting</h2><br>
<p>St. Peters Church is located 1.5 mi south of Queenstown, Maryland. The region is part of a large peninsula that separates the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. The peninsula, which contains the entire state of Delaware and the eastern shores of Maryland and Virginia, is often called the Delmarva Peninsula. Nearby Kent Island is the location of the first permanent European settlement in what is now Maryland, and it was established in 1631. The church is positioned a few steps from the road on the north side of USA Route 50. Although the immediate area around the church is rural, Route 50 can have considerable traffic during the summer as travelers from the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area use the road to get to Atlantic coast summer resort destinations such as Marylands Ocean City and several beaches in Delaware.</p><br>
<p>Catholics arrived at Marylands Eastern Shore on Kent Island around 1639. They are thought to have moved from Kent Island to what became Queenstown during the 1640s, possibly during a conflict between Lord Baltimore (a Catholic) and William Claiborne (a Protestant) over control of the island. During this time, the region around Queenstown north to Piney Point and south to the area along the Wye River (including communities that became Morgans Neck and Wye Neck) became populated mostly by Roman Catholic land owners. Continuing to practice their religion discreetly, Catholic families in the area typically used a room in their house as a chapel room.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment of St. Peter&#39;s</h2><br>
<p>The parish of St. Peters was established in 1765. The chapel, which was constructed some time before 1784, was the third permanent mission on Marylands Eastern Shore. Over time, he came to do more work in Queen Anne&#39;s County, and Queenstown became his "chief congregation". He was succeeded by Father John Bolton in 1787.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<h3>New church</h3><br>
<p>In the early 1820s, the parrish was again the beneficiary of generous provisions in the wills of its members. These donations enabled Reverend James Moynihan to begin preparations for construction of a new church in 1823. During this time, Moynihan had health issues and was replaced by Reverend Peter Veulemans, who became the first resident priest at St. Peters. The new building was 45 feet long by 30 feet wide, and made of brick. After construction of the new church was completed in 1827, the old structure was converted to a parsonage that lasted until it was demolished in 1960.</p><br>
<h3>Today&#39;s church</h3><br>
<p>By 1868, Bishop Becker of the Diocese of Wilmington described all seven of the Catholic churches in Maryland&#39;s Eastern Shore as “old and wretched”. In 1869, Reverend Edward Henchy made plans to build a new church, with a rectory and resident pastor, in downtown Queenstown. Festivals and tournaments were held to raise money. However, fundraising for the new church was not as successful as hoped. In 1877, church leadership decided to expand the current church instead of building an entirely new one in Queenstown. Materials were brought close to the site by boat, and the contractor was John Stack of Baltimore. Costs were $5,000 to $6,000.</p><br>
<p>The expanded version of the church kept some of the brick walls from the 1820s church. An estimated 2,000 people attended a dedication ceremony held on December 23, 1877. This church is basically the church that stands today. A brick sacristy and meeting room were added to the northeast side during the 1960s.</p><br>
<h3>Renovations and additions</h3><br>
<p>During the 1950s the State Roads Commission made plans to widen USA Route 50 and condemned the church to be torn down. An appeal saved the church when it was agreed that the church would build a brick wall between the road and the church. Members of the Friel family were involved with the wall&#39;s funding and design. They were also later involved with extensions of the wall along the sides of the church.</p><br>
<p>By 1959, it was decided that the old rectory was a fire hazard and would be torn down. Two additions on the site of the old rectory were completed in 1967: a sacristy and a meeting room. The children of Helena Green Raskob provided funding for the meeting room, and it was named the Raskob Memorial Room in her honor. Members of the Friel family were involved with the new sacristy. The designers of the additions were James R. Friel and architect John Walton. During the 1970s, the church was refurbished and air conditioning was added.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<h3>Church exterior</h3><br>
<p>The church building is made of brick and uses portions of the 1820s church exterior walls. The most noticeable exterior features are the steep slate roofs; large rose windows in the east, north, and west gables; a Victorian bell cupola on the south side closest to the road; and Victorian-Gothic vergeboards on the projecting gables of the roof. In a newspaper article describing the dedication ceremony, it was mentioned that the "exquisitely toned bell" could be heard 1.5 mi away in Queenstown.</p><br>
<h3>Church interior</h3><br>
<p>The church interior, using the cruciform plan, has a nave, a transept, and an apse. One enters the nave from a small vestibule (also known as a narthex) on the south side. A central aisle, with pews on each side, runs through the nave, ending at the walnut communion rail. A gallery supported by chamfered pillars is located at the back of the nave. The transept is what remains from the 1820s church. At each end of the transept is a rose window with two windows below it—all containing original stained glass. The apse is octagonal and contains the altar. A newspaper article describing discussing the dedication ceremony described the altar as "variegated marble, chiseled into quaint and beautiful designs". The door to the left of the altar leads to a small confessional, while the door to the right leads to the sacristy constructed in the 1960s. Much of the interior woodwork is from the 1877 expansion. Several pews in the gallery are from the 1820s church. The paneled wainscoting was added during a 1927 centennial celebration, and is made to look similar to the 1877 gallery railing. All stained glass and altar furniture is from 1877.</p><br>
<h3>Cemetery</h3><br>
<p>Over 300 people are buried at St. Peter&#39;s Cemetery. Not all burial sites are marked by tombstones, but they are listed in parish records. The oldest grave is for Joseph King, who died in 1820. His gravestone is located close to a tall boxwood shrub. Reverend Henchy, who died in 1895, is also buried in the cemetery. His gravestone says "Pastor of the church for 20 years".</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The parish has about 620 families. It has a wide range of ministries, including religious education and hospitality programs. Mass times at St. Peters are 5:30pm on Saturdays and 7:30am on Sundays. In 2019, the church received donations that enabled it to begin refurbishing the structures windows, and more work is expected to be done on the building&#39;s exterior.</p><br>
<h2>National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the church was prepared on April 28, 1978. The forms statement of significance begins with "St. Peters Church has played an important role in the history the Roman Catholic Church in Maryland. A Catholic community was established in this area soon after Claiborne founded his colony on Kent Island in 1631, and this group, with the communities in St. Mary&#39;s and Charles Counties, formed the earliest enclave of Catholicism in the American colonies." The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 1980.--&gt</p><br>

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 26, 1990.</p><br>
<p>St. Philips Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 446 Church Street in Wrangell, Alaska, United States. Its frame vernacular-style church was built as the Peoples Church in 1903 by a Presbyterian congregation of Alaskan Natives under the direction of its minister, the Rev. Harry Prosper Corser. In 1905 the Rev. Mr. Corser and many of his congregation were received into the Episcopal Church by the Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. Corser was later ordained an Episcopal priest and served the church which was consecrated at St. Phillips until he retired in 1934. On May 6, 1987, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Saint Philips Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>St. Philip&#39;s is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. The Rev. Paula Sampson and the Rev. Ian MacKenzie are its co-rectors.</p><br>
<p>Camp George West Historic District or Camp George West  was a military base for the Colorado National Guard, located at 15000 S. Golden Rd., Golden, Colorado. It was used as a rifle range, while artillery practice took place on Green Mountain, on the north side of present-day Hayden Park near Lakewood, Colorado. The Department of Defense Military Munitions Response Program has financed investigations to identify unexploded ordnance there since 2012.</p><br>
<p>Camp George West is now used as a correctional facility, police training academy, and emergency operations center.</p><br>
<p>It contains an Ammunition Igloo, a bunker used for arms storage, and Colorado Amphitheater, both of which are vacant.</p><br>
<p>The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, with the Ammunition Igloo and the Amphitheater listed separately.</p><br>
<p>St. Philip&#39;s Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 129 West Mound Street in Circleville, Ohio. The first Episcopal service in Circleville was held on May 26, 1817, by the Rev. Philander Chase, who in 1819 became the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. The stone church building was built in 1866 in a mixed Gothic and Tudor Revival style and was consecrated in 1868. Besides its actual name, the church has been known as the "Little Church on the Mound,"</p><br>
<p>In 1918, the church was modified by the construction of a Tudor Revival structure that has since been used as a parish hall.

In recognition of its well-preserved historic architecture, St. Philip&#39;s was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>St. Philip&#39;s today is an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. The Rev. Canon David E. Getreu is the 43rd Rector.</p><br>
<p>Olde Town Arvada is a 15.1 acre historic district in Arvada, Colorado bounded by Ralston Road, Teller Road, Grandview Avenue and Yukon Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The listing included 42 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>Its 1998 NRHP nomination stated:The district is characterized by a variety of building types, including some of the most significant historic residences in the city, the largest concentration of historic business buildings in the city, the oldest Grange hall in the state, one of the few historic industrial facilities established in Arvada, and three substantial historic churches. Many of the buildings within the district were designed to fulfill more than one function, such as business blocks which had commercial space on the ground floor and living quarters or community halls on the upper floor. This combination of building functions within the downtown area typified Arvada&#39;s early history. Diversity of function led to the variety of construction materials, styles, landscaping, and setbacks within the district.</p><br>
<p>It includes the A.L. Davis Block building (1916), at 5600 Wadsworth Boulevard (a garage and Dodge and Chevrolet dealership, built of red brick, later expanded to absorb the 1882 school building that was to its north), and the First National Bank of Arvada (1903), at 7530 Grandview Avenue.</p><br>

A simpler entrance is found in the rightmost bay of the northern (left) ell, whose porch has also been enclosed. Small ells were also added to the rear in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between about 1875 and 1890, based on its style. It is said to have been built for the twin Baker brothers, John and Jim, descended from early settlers of the area. Duplexes are rare in the town, and this one is the only one known from the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Bark Street School is a historic school building on Stevens Road at Bark Street in Swansea, Massachusetts. Built in 1905, it is the town&#39;s only surviving wood-frame school building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bark Street School is located on the south side of Stevens Road, just west of Bark Street in eastern Swansea.

The addition was done with sympathetic design and materials, differing only in the concrete foundation. Although it was one of ten schools in Swansea at the time, it is now the town&#39;s last wood-frame school building. It now serves as an annex to Swansea Town Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Barneyville Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district on Old Providence and Barneyville Roads in northwestern Swansea, Massachusetts. The area was the site of a successful shipbuilding operation during the early 19th century, and then became a local center for jewelry making. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Barneyville is centered on the junction of Old Providence and Barneyville Roads, and extends eastward along Old Providence Road toward the Palmer River. Although the area was first settled in the 17th century, it only began to grow as a proper village in the mid-18th century, when a bridge was built over the river to what is now Barrington, Rhode Island. It became known as a shipbuilding center after Jonathan Barney established a shipyard there in the 1770s that saw its greatest success under Barney&#39;s son Mason in the 19th century. The shipyard, which built wooden ships, failed when demand for metal-hulled ships rose in the late 1850s. One of the former shipyard workers learned to make jewelry, and built a small factory on the shipyard site, which flourished until the 1920s. Neither the jewelry factory nor the shipyard structures have survived; the site now has a marker.</p><br>
<p>The district covers about 27 acre, and includes 11 primary buildings, and two sites: that of the shipyard, and that of the house of the areas first settler, the Rev. John Myles. The oldest surviving building in the district is the c. 1750 house of Jonathan Barney at 166 Old Providence Road. The house includes both Georgian and later Federal period styling, and has a locally rare brick ell. Barney also built the double house at 22-24 Barneyville Road c. 1771-74. Mason Barneys house, at 1 Barneyville Road, was built in the early 19th century, and is a fine Federal period structure with Colonial Revival alterations made in the early 20th century.</p><br>

<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It currently functions as a law office.</p><br>
<p>Fort Phoenix is a former American Revolutionary War-era fort located at the entrance to the Fairhaven-New Bedford harbor, south of USA 6 in Fort Phoenix Park in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The fort was originally built in 1775 without a name, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Just off the fort, in Buzzards Bay, was the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, the Battle of Fairhaven on 14 May 1775.</p><br>
<p>On 5–6 September 1778, the fort was destroyed by the British when they raided the harbor. A force under Major Israel Fearing drove off the British, both at the fort and when they attempted an attack on the town the next day. The fort was then renamed Fort Fearing. In 1784 it was given the name "Fort Phoenix" after the mythical bird that rose from its own ashes.</p><br>
<p>The fort was rebuilt in 1798, and rebuilt again in 1808 with 12 guns with Commonwealth resources, contemporary with but not part of the second system of US fortifications.</p><br>
<p>In the War of 1812, bombarded the fort on 13 June 1814 when the local militia refused to surrender some guns. After an exchange of fire Nimrod sailed away. Local accounts differ as to whether she launched boats carrying a landing party that were driven off, or not. This event is confused in some references with an attack by the same ship on Falmouth on 29 January 1814.</p><br>
<p>The fort currently has five iron cannons mounted on reproduction wooden carriages. The cannons are Model 1819 24-pounders. Their trunnions are marked, “W.F.” on one side and “1828” on the opposite side, indicating they were cast at the West Point Foundry in Cold Spring, New York, in the year 1828. They were installed at the fort sometime before the Civil War along with three similar guns which were later transferred out of the fort near the end of the war.</p><br>
<p>There is also a smaller cannon at the fort which was captured by the Continental Marines during the raid on Nassau in the Bahamas in 1776. This raid was the first amphibious landing on foreign soil by United States Marines. This gun has been in Fairhaven since about 1777 and one of those originally installed when the fort was built.</p><br>
<p>In recent years, two more cannons, mounted on field artillery carriages have been installed at the fort. Donated to the Town of Fairhaven by the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the barrels of the guns are thought to date to the War of 1812, but they have no direct connection to Fort Phoenix.</p><br>
<p>The fort was rebuilt with a new powder magazine and regarrisoned with eight guns in the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>During World War II an Anti-Motor Torpedo Boat (AMTB) battery of four towed 37 mm guns was at the fort.</p><br>
<p>Today, historical encampments are staged at Fort Phoenix in the spring and fall by a local reenacting group, the Fairhaven Village Militia.</p><br>
<p>The Fisher–Richardson House is a historic house at 354 Willow Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Built between 1743 and 1751, it is considered to be the town&#39;s second oldest house. The house was restored in 1930, and is now a local history museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fisher–Richardson House is set close to the north side of Willow Street in a residential area of central Mansfield. It is a -story, wood-framed structure, six bays wide, with a gambrel wood shingle roof, two internal chimneys, and clapboard siding. The front facade bays are irregularly spaced, with the door set right of center. The interior features wide pine floors, ceilings with exposed beams, and beaded paneling on the walls. Mantels and some other features are recreations made as part of the 1930 restoration.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Ebenezer Wellman sometime between 1743 and 1751, using a plank-frame method popular in the area at the time. In about 1800 the size of the house was nearly doubled by the construction of its western half by Lemuel Fisher. The property was later inherited by Ira Richardson, who had married into the locally prominent Fisher family. In 1929, after the last local Richardson died, the house was offered to William Sumner Appleton for the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, but local interest in its preservation sparked its donation instead to the town, which undertook its restoration. It is now administered by the Mansfield Historical Society as a house museum.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The A.B. Chace Rowhouses is a historic apartment building located at 655-685 Middle Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was constructed circa 1877 for Arnold B. Chace, son of Elizabeth Buffum Chace, a prominent Rhode Island abolitionist and reformer.</p><br>

By 1893 the property was owned by Samuel Hyde, who operated a stock farm here. Hyde added the two outbuildings in the 1890s and may also be responsible for the c.1900 porch and porte-cochere. The property is surrounded by a rugged fieldstone wall capped with local Fall River granite. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Childrens Home is a historic building at 427 Robeson Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was built in 1895 to replace an earlier wooden building. The Childrens Home was founded in 1873 as a merger of the Fall River Orphans Asylum and Childrens Friend Society. It is an architecturally eclectic brick building, with asymmetrical massing and a complicated roof line typical of the Queen Anne Revival, but also with Colonial Revival features including its columned porch and bracketed cornice. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing included a small stick-style picnic shelter also located on the property.</p><br>

<p>The Thomas Nichols Three Deckers are three historic three deckers located at 68, 80 and 88 West Britannia Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. The once-identical buildings were built in 1914 by Thomas Nichols, a real estate speculator. Two of the three  were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for their external architecture and rarity of form in the city; #68 has since been compromised by alterations.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Nichols Three Deckers are located north of downtown Taunton, on the south side of West Britannia Street between Hopewell and Thomas Streets. They are located a short walk from the Reed and Barton Complex, historically one of the city&#39;s major industrial employers. All three are fairly typical triple deckers, of wood-frame construction with flat roofs. They were all originally sided with wooden shingles, have corner pilasters, and the roofs had extended eaves studded with modillion blocks. Of the three, only #80 retains all of these features: #68 has been refinished in wooden clapboards and synthetic siding, and the eaves no longer have modillions. #88 has been refinished in aluminum siding and has none of these features. All three have three-story porches on one side of the front, and a projecting polygonal bay on the other. Porches and projecting bays are also found on one side of numbers 80 and 88. The front porches have round columns for support, and have a broad entablature at the top of the third floor.</p><br>
<p>Although quite common in many industrial New England cities, three deckers were historically an uncommon sight in Taunton. These three were estimated to be built about 1914, based on architectural evidence. They were probably built by Thomas Nichols, a prominent local real estate developer of the period.</p><br>
<p>The Brown House is a historic house at 384 Tremont Street in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. This -story wood-frame house has an unusual construction history. According to a local history, at its core is a structure built in the early 18th century, which was significantly modified and extended in the late 19th century with vernacular Italianate styling. The architectural evidence supports the idea that part of the house was in fact built in the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Hardwick Village Historic District is a historic district on Petersham, Barre, Greenwich, Ruggles Hill and Gilbertville Roads in Hardwick, Massachusetts. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The town of Hardwick was incorporated in January 1739 after a group of settlers from Roxbury purchased land from the local Nipmuc Indians. The town was named in honor of Lord Hardwicke, an English nobleman, and became very prosperous before the American Revolutionary War. In 1762, one of its most prominent citizens, General Timothy Ruggles, established an annual market fair, a tradition that continues in the Hardwick Community Fair.</p><br>
<p>Water from its many nearby streams powered saw and grist mills, making the area an early source of manufactured goods as well as agricultural products. The growth of railroads during the 1800s also boosted the local economy by permitting those goods to be transported to larger markets.</p><br>
<p>Gilbertville Historic District is a historic district roughly on Main, Church, High, North, Broad and Bridge Streets Gilbertville, Massachusetts within Hardwick, Massachusetts. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The nearby Ware-Hardwick Covered Bridge is also on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The village of Gilbertville grew up around a wool textile mill on the Ware River founded in the 1860s by George H. Gilbert, who already had wool factories in nearby Ware. His Gilbert Manufacturing Company built a Congregational church and a library for his workers, and also helped build the local high school. As many Catholic immigrants came to work in the mills, St. Aloysius Church was established to serve them.

<p>The Fort Devens Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by El Caney St., Antietam St., Sherman Ave., MacArthur Ave. and Buena Vista Street in Devens, Massachusetts, encompassing territory in both Ayer and Harvard. The district is in a portion of the former Fort Devens and includes a large number of historically and architecturally significant buildings.</p><br>
<p>The buildings that are deemed of most significant historic importance are those that were built in the period 1929-39. This building phase was begun after the United States Army decided to upgrade temporary facilities dating from World War I, to provide more permanent facilities at the base. This resulted in the construction of a significant number of Georgian Revival buildings in a rough U shape around a central parade ground. These buildings included dormitory facilities for soldiers, administrative office space, and warehouse facilities. This area is also significant as the site from 1933 to 1937 of an encampment of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and for its association with Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers, without whose efforts the base might have been closed instead of being upgraded.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Its main boundaries on the north, west, and south, are Antietam and El Caney Streets. The eastern boundary is mainly Jackson Street, although there is an extension further eastward to Auman Avenue, where there are rows of single-family housing. One of the most visually dominant elements of the district are Rogers Field, the former parade ground, and the grouping of former barracks buildings on its north side.</p><br>
