<p>The Brick Block is a historic commercial building on Main Street and Chatham Bars Road in Chatham, Massachusetts. Built in 1914 by a master mason, it is a distinctive local landmark in downtown Chatham, and a showcase of the bricklaying art. The block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brick Block occupies a prominent corner lot on Chatham&#39;s downtown Main Street, standing at the northeast corner with Chatham Bars Road. It is a 1-1/2 story structure, built out of brick with wooden trim, and is one of the largest buildings in the downtown. It is basically English Revival in style, with projecting eaves of its gabled roof supported by large wooden brackets. The roof is pierced by small shed dormers along each side, with large clipped-gable dormers at the ends and the angled corner. The smaller dormers are finished in stucco, while the larger dormers are decorated with a diversity of laid-brick shapes. The basic laying of bricks for the main walls is in either common or Flemish bond, but there are panel sections of decorative brick arrangements, and a soldier course of bricks runs above the foundation.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1914 by Joseph Nickerson, a master mason, to a design by Boston architect Henry Bailey Alden. It originally housed the local post office and shops on the first floor, and residences on the upper floor; this basic usage pattern continues today. Nickerson was a native of Worcester who was brought to Chatham to do the work; his family remained on the Cape, and continue to work as masons.</p><br>
<p>237–239 Main Street is a historic commercial building located at the address of the same name in Barnstable, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story, wood-framed, Queen Anne style retail block which has retained even its original storefronts. It has a narrow cornice with plain brackets, and some second-floor windows are paired and headed by triangular pediments. It is notable for the survival without significant alterations, of even its storefronts, since its construction in 1910, and is one of a small number of surviving commercial buildings form that period in Hyannis.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.</p><br>
<p>600 Main Street is a historic commercial building located in Barnstable, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It is a -story, wood-framed building whose gable roof is pierced by a three-part dormer surrounded by a balustrade. The building, constructed in 1920, has retained almost all of its original details, more so than the nearly-identical building at 595 Main Street, which has not. The building is notable as a high quality local example of commercial Colonial Revival architecture, and is typical of the area&#39;s gradual transformation into a commercial area in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.</p><br>
<p>606 Main Street is a historic commercial building located in Barnstable, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in about 1910, it is a modest, single-story, wood-framed construction with a gable roof. The front slope of the roof has a long shed-roof dormer, providing some second-level storage space for the shops below. The building is vernacular in style, with paired recessed doorways to the stores. The building typifies Barnstable&#39;s modestly-scaled commercial district, fitting well with earlier residential structures.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Central Fire Station is a historic fire station at 399 Main Street in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The two storey brick building was built in 1929 to a design by Fitchburg architects Haynes & Mason. The brick is laid in Flemish bond, and there are wooden quoins at the corners. The central doorway is flanked by pilasters, and is topped by a fanlight. The flat roof is hidden from view by a low parapet. To the left of the doorway is the main truck bay, and to its right is a group of five sash windows. Both the truck bay and window group are topped by matching low arched finish with keystone.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Centerville Historic District is a historic district encompassing the heart of the village of Centerville in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The district extends along Main Street from a point north of its junction with Old Stage Road and Park Avenue, south to the junction with Church Hill Road. Most of the buildings in the district were built in the middle decades of the 19th century, although its oldest building, the Austin Bearse House, was built c. 1690. The area&#39;s growth was spurred by the relocation in 1826 of the Congregational Church building to its present location. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Centerville Historic District is located in southern Barnstable, roughly midway between the villages of Hyannis and Cotuit. The district is essentially linear in shape, extending along Main Street from just south of Wilton Drive to a four-way junction with Church Hill Road and Bacon Lane, with a major triangular intersection with Park Street near the district&#39;s geographic center. It includes 40 historically significant buildings dating to the 19th century or earlier, and includes a significant concentration of buildings that are either Greek Revival or Italianate, architectural styles that were popular in the mid-19th century. Most buildings are 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 story wood frame houses. Buildings of note that fall outside of these general categories include the c. 1880 Benjamin Childs House (339 Main), one of the only Second Empire houses in Barnstable, and the Marston family houses, a pair of Queen Anne Victorians at 454 and 481 Main Street, and the Centerville General Store, a vernacular structure built c. 1834.</p><br>
<p>There are two churches in the district. One, the Congregation Church at the southern end of the district, was built in 1797 and moved to its present location in 1826, an event that (along with an increase in maritime-related economic activity) stimulated development of this area in preference to Centervilles traditional center to the north. The other church building, originally built in 1876 for a Methodist congregation, has been substantially altered and is no longer historically significant. The triangular park at the junction of Park and Main includes two war memorials, one to the communitys Civil War soldiers (placed in 1866), and a World War I memorial placed c. 1920.</p><br>
<p>Dennis Village Cemetery, also known as the Common Burying Ground and East Yarmouth Churchyard, is a historic cemetery at Massachusetts Route 6A and Old Bass River Road in the center of Dennis, Massachusetts. The oldest portion, a 2 acre parcel, has grave markers dating to 1728, and may contain even older burials. It was established when Dennis was still part of neighboring Yarmouth. Among its notable burials are those of Rev. Josiah Dennis, the namesake of the town, and his wife.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Wildwood Cemetery is a historic cemetery at Palmer and Wildwood Streets in Winchester, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was founded in 1851 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. This cemetery was established using part of the $3000 gift from Colonel William P. Winchester that was donated on condition that the town be named after him. It was one of the first public spaces laid out after Winchester was incorporated, It is laid out in the rural cemetery fashion popular in the mid-19th century, with winding lanes a country landscaping. The designer was Amasa Farrier of neighboring Stoneham, who used as his inspiration the published works of Andrew Jackson Downing and John Claudius Loudon. Land was purchased in 1851, and was ready for use the following year. Older graves from the small cemetery at the First Congregational Church were transferred here in 1853. As a result, the oldest dated burials are in 1805. The entrance gateway was added as part of a landscape design developed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1937.</p><br>
<p>Notable persons buried in the cemetery include Massachusetts Governor Samuel Walker McCall (1851–1923), Rev. Howard James Chidley (1878–1966), engineer Harold Kilbrith Barrows (1873–1954), linguist Joshua Whatmough (1897–1964), artist Joseph Foxcroft Cole (1837–1892), and artist Dana Pond (1881–1962). Other prominent burials include philanthropist and peace activist Edwin Ginn, local developer David Skilling, and Harrison Parker, owner of a local mill. It is also the burial ground for many members of locally prominent families, including members of the Symmes, Locke, Richardson, and Johnson families.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Catholic Church is a parish church of the Catholic Church in Winchester, Massachusetts, within the Archdiocese of Boston. It is noted for its historic church at 159 Washington Street, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, The parish also operates St. Marys Early Learning Center, a preschool and kindergarten, the successor to St. Mary’s School, a parochial school which operated until 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. Marys is located at the southeast corner of Washington and Bridge Streets, just northeast of Winchester center. The church building was built in 1876, replacing Winchesters first Roman Catholic place of worship, a chapel built on the same site in 1874. The area at the time was a center of a growing Irish-American population.</p><br>
<p>Originally clad in wood, this church underwent major renovations in 1897 under the direction of architect Patrick W. Ford, a noted area designer of churches, at which time it was clad in brick. It resembles older Federal period New England churches, with the nave set parallel to the roof gable. The building is richly decorated, with corbelled cornices and decorative buttresses. The square tower is offset at the northwestern corner, with a Gothic-arched entrance and a belfry with louvered pairs of Gothic-arched openings. A small baptistry and meeting, added to originally house a library, stands just south of the main building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jerome B. Judkins, a prominent early resident, relocated to what became Winchester in the 1840s, and purchased many acres from what had been the old Caleb Swan farm. His house would later serve as rectory, convent, and parish center for the Catholic community. A small wooden chapel was built around 1874, the first permanent Catholic place of worship in town, as a mission church of the parish of St. Charles Borromeo in Woburn.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys was erected as an independent parish in 1876, with Rev. Cornelius OConnor appointed the first resident pastor. OConnor had the chapel enlarged and took up residence at Bridge and Washington Streets. In 1882, his successor, Rev. Patrick J. Daly, enlarged the church to its current size and had a tower constructed. In 1888, the parish acquired two parcels of land, including the present site of the school, and in 1894, the stained-glass windows, organ, and parish library were installed. The churchs exterior was encased in brick in 1896–97 by Boston architect P. W. Ford.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys School opened in October 1914, blessed by the archbishop, William Cardinal OConnell. It was staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph until 1973. Amidst falling enrollments and pressures relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, grades one through five were closed in 2020, and the school has since operated as a preschool and kindergarten. St. Mary&#39;s also operated a high school for girls from 1922 to 1950.</p><br>
<p>With a priest shortage projected, plans began in the 1990s for the Winchester parishes to cluster operations. In May 2004, Archbishop OMalley announced the closure of 65 parishes in the archdiocese. St. Josephs, formerly at 100 Washington Street in Woburn, and Immaculate Conception, formerly at 12 Sheridan Circle in Winchester (which had been formed from part of St. Mary&#39;s in 1931), were consequently merged with the parish of St. Mary. The parish also shares a pastor with nearby St. Eulalia, at 50 Ridge Street in Winchester.</p><br>
<p>The Beacon Street Tomb is a historic receiving tomb in the Lakeside Cemetery of Wakefield, Massachusetts. Built about 1858, it is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Beacon Street tomb is located on the south side of Lakeside Cemetery, itself set on the west side of Lake Quannapowitt. It faces south, away from the cemetery and toward Beacon Street, which runs along the cemetery&#39;s southern border. It is a single-story stone structure, built out of ashlar granite and covered by a front-facing gabled roof. The front facade is defined by four Doric columns, which rise to a fully pedimented gable, which has a louvered oculus window at its center. There are no windows, and a double-leaf door on the southern elevation.</p><br>
<p>Lakeview Cemetery was established in 1848, on land previously owned by an ice harvesting company that operated on the lake in winter. This building, built sometime between 1858 and 1860, was used to store caskets during the winter months when burial was impossible due to frozen ground. It was used in this role until the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Greenwood Union Church is a historic church at 4 Oak Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The church was built in 1884 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The early beginnings of the Greenwood Union Church can be traced through historical records to the mid-1850s when the Sunday School was organized under the leadership of Henry Degan. The founders met in the unoccupied room of the Greenwood School House (also referred to as the old Hose House).</p><br>
<p>After the First Congregational Society of Greenwood was organized in 1873, the members immediately began planning for a building of their own. When the school department needed their meeting room, they set out to find land, subsequently purchasing some land from the Joseph Eaton estate on Oak Street. Architects Wait & Cutter were commissioned to design the church, and the foundation was laid in November 1884. The ground floor of the building was in use by 1885. The upper floors were not completed until 1895, with a dedication held on February 27, 1895.</p><br>
<p>The Greenwood Union Church was organized on November 19, 1903. In 1907, a one-story addition provided classrooms and a two-story addition provided a parlor for the Ladies&#39; Aid society. Extensive remodeling and another addition, which extended the building closer to Oak Street, began in 1920. The front of the sanctuary became the side and the new front faced back to the hill.</p><br>
<p>The dedication was held on April 16, 1922. In 1944, a Parish House Fund was established which resulted in the purchase of the neighboring Willard Eaton property in 1952. In January 1956, the church secured the corner lot at Oak and Main Street for further expansion, and the cornerstone of the new building was laid on September 25, 1960. The dedication took place in March 1961.</p><br>
<p>As of 2021, the church has been purchased and renamed Restoration Road Church.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeside Cemetery Chapel is a historic chapel in Lakeside Cemetery, on North Avenue in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The stone chapel, built 1913, is one of a few Neo-Gothic buildings in the town. Roughly resembling English country churches, the building has a steeply pitched slate roof, with sidewalls containing supporting buttresses. The front and rear of the chapel both have projecting entry sections that repeat the sharply pitched gable.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Temple Israel Cemetery is a historic Jewish cemetery on North Avenue in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The cemetery was established by the Temple Israel congregation of Boston in 1859. Unlike the adjacent Lakeside Cemetery, whose landscape is of winding paths, this cemetery is laid out in a rectilinear grid. Stones are somewhat uniform in their content, often listing places of birth and death. Markers placed early in the cemeterys history are predominantly marble, while many of those placed in the 20th century are granite or limestone. The cemeterys most notable burial is that of Rabbi Joshua Liebman.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Branham House is residential dwelling located in the South Broadway Neighborhood Historic District in Georgetown, Kentucky. The property was individually listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>It is the oldest house in the City of Georgetown, which was incorporated in 1790, and was probably built in the 1790s. It is a two-story three-bay brick house, on a stone foundation, with some frame elements. Its Greek Revival front portico was added later.</p><br>
<p>El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument, also known as Los Angeles Plaza Historic District and formerly known as El Pueblo de Los Ángeles State Historic Park, is a historic district taking in the oldest section of Los Angeles, known for many years as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula. The district, centered on the old plaza, was the city&#39;s center under Spanish , Mexican , and United States  rule through most of the 19th century. The 44-acre park area was designated a state historic monument in 1953 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Founding of the Pueblo</h3><br>
<p>A plaque across from the Old Plaza commemorates the founding of the city. It states: "On September 4, 1781, eleven families of pobladores (44 persons including children) arrived at this place from the Gulf of California to establish a pueblo which was to become the City of Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>At least ten (and up to 26) of the 44 were Black.</p><br>
<p>Spain also settled the California region with a number of African and mulatto Catholics, including at least ten (and up to 26) of the recently re-discovered Los Pobladores, the 44 founders of Los Angeles in 1781.</p><br>
<p>This colonization ordered by King Carlos III was carried out under the direction of Governor Felipe de Neve." The small town received the name El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Ángeles sobre El Río Porciúncula, Spanish for The Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels on the Porciúncula River.</p><br>
<p>The original pueblo was built to the southeast of the current plaza along the Los Angeles River and near the Tongva village of Yaanga. Excavations at the church site "recovered beads and other artifacts used during the period of mission recruitment." In 1815, a flood washed away the original pueblo, and it was rebuilt farther from the river at the location of the current plaza.</p><br>
<h3>Growth of the Pueblo</h3><br>
<p>During its first 70 years, the Pueblo grew slowly from 44 in 1781 to 1,615 in 1850—an average of about 25 persons per year. During this period, the Plaza Historic District was the Pueblo&#39;s commercial and social center.</p><br>
<p>In 1850, shortly after California became part of the United States, Los Angeles was incorporated as a city. It experienced a major boom in the 1880s and 1890s, as its population grew from 11,200 (1880) to 50,400 (1890) and 102,500 in 1900. As the City grew, the commercial and cultural center began to move south away from the Plaza, along Spring Street and Main Street.</p><br>
<p>In 1891, the Los Angeles Times reported on the shifting city center:</p><br>
<p>The geographical center of Los Angeles is the old plaza, but that has long since ceased to be the center of population.... While at one time most of the population was north of the plaza, during the past ten years 90 per cent of the improvements have gone up in the southern half of the city.... These are solid facts which it is useless to attempt to ignore by playing the ostrich acts and level-headed property holders in the northern part of the city are beginning to ask themselves seriously what is to be done to arrest or at least delay the steady march of the business section from the old to the new plaza on Sixth Street...</p><br>
<h2>Preservation as a historic park</h2><br>
<p>The 44 acre surrounding the Plaza and constituting the old pueblo have been preserved as a historic park roughly bounded by Spring, Macy, Alameda and Arcadia streets, and Cesar Chavez Boulevard (formerly Sunset Boulevard). There is a visitors center in the Sepúlveda House. A volunteer organization known as Las Angelitas del Pueblo provides tours of the district.</p><br>
<p>The district includes the citys oldest historic structures clustered around the old plaza. The buildings of historical significance include Nuestra Señora La Reina de Los Ángeles Church (1822), Avila Adobe (1818) (the citys oldest surviving residence), the Olvera Street market, Pico House (1870), and the Old Plaza Fire Station (1884). Four of the buildings have been restored and are operated as museums.</p><br>
<p>In addition, archaeological excavations in the Pueblo have uncovered artifacts from the long indigenous period before European contact and colonization. These include animal bones, household goods, tools, bottles, and ceramics.</p><br>
<p>The district was designated as a state monument in 1953, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. These steps, however, did not prevent the demolition, in the decades to come, of numerous historic and very old buildings, particularly those that once formed the eastern edge of the Plaza.</p><br>

<h2>Major sites</h2><br>
<h3>The Plaza</h3><br>
<p>At the center of the Historic District is the plaza. It was described in 1982 as "the focal point" of the state historic park, symbolizing the citys birthplace and "separating Olvera Streets touristy bustle from the Pico-Garnier blocks empty buildings." Built in the 1820s, the plaza was the citys commercial and social center. It remains the site of many festivals and celebrations. The plaza has large statues of two figures in the city&#39;s history, including one of Charles III of Spain, the monarch who ordered the founding of the Pueblo de Los Ángeles in 1780, and another of Felipe de Neve, the Spanish Governor of the Californias who selected the site of the Pueblo and laid out the town. In addition to this, the plaza is dedicated to commemorating the original forty-four settlers (Los Pobladores), and the four soldiers who accompanied them. A large plaque listing their names was erected in the plaza, and later plaques dedicated to the individual eleven families were placed in the ground encircling the gazebo in the center of the plaza.</p><br>
<h3>Buildings on the Plaza</h3><br>
<h4>La Placita Church</h4><br>
<p>The parish church in the Plaza Historic District, known as La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Ángeles (The Church of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels), was founded in 1814. The structure was completed and dedicated in 1822. The present church, which replaced it, was built in 1861. The church was one of the first three sites designated as Historic Cultural Monuments by the City of Los Angeles, and has also been designated as a California Historical Landmark.</p><br>
<h4>Old Plaza Firehouse</h4><br>
<p>The Old Plaza Firehouse is the oldest firehouse in Los Angeles. Built in 1884, it operated as a firehouse until 1897. The building was thereafter used as a saloon, cigar store, poolroom, "seedy hotel", Chinese market, "flop house", and drugstore. The building was restored in the 1950s and opened as a firefighting museum in 1960.</p><br>
<h4>Los Angeles Plaza Park</h4><br>
<p>Los Angeles Plaza Park (formerly known as Father Serra Park) is an open area within the plaza. It is the site of the demolished Lugo Adobe. In June 2020 protestors toppled a statue of Father Junípero Serra, due to Serra&#39;s role during the colonization of California.</p><br>
<h3>Buildings on Olvera Street</h3><br>
<p>Olvera Street, known for its Mexican marketplace, was originally known as Wine Street. In 1877, it was extended and renamed in honor of Judge Augustín Olvera, the first ever elected county judge in Los Angeles. Many of the Plaza District&#39;s contributing historic buildings, including the Avila Adobe and Sepulveda House, are located on Olvera Street. In 1930, it was adapted by local merchants into the colorful marketplace that operates today.</p><br>

<p>Suffolk County Historical Society Building is a museum and library dedicated to preserving historic artifacts of Suffolk County, New York, as well as other parts of Long Island. It is located at 300 West Main Street as well as Osborn Avenue and Court Street in Riverhead, New York.</p><br>
<p>Though the museum building itself has only been around since 1930, the Suffolk County Historical Society was established in 1886 by residents of the county who were concerned about preserving its heritage. Riverhead was chosen as the location of the new society because its the County Seat of Suffolk County, and County Surrogate Judge James H. Tuthill became the first President. The society began collecting items almost immediately, and the first displays were placed in a small glass case in Tuthills Riverhead office. Unfortunately, the collection soon outgrew the Judges office, and in 1893 a small building at the corner of Griffing Avenue and Main Street in Riverhead, which formerly housed the County Clerks Office, was purchased. Eventually, the growing collection of documents and artifacts outgrew that space too.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by August Galow with Colonial Revival styling. It was built on land donated by Alice O. Perkins, the widow of prominent Riverhead resident John Perkins during the 1920s, and was completed in 1930. Extensions were added in 1951 and 1964.</p><br>
<p>The library boasts more than 20,000 volumes and over 840 cuft of manuscripts, including records, ledgers, diaries, maps, atlases, post cards, newspapers, and other paperwork. In 1994, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Suffolk County Historical Society Museum</h2><br>
<p>The museum&#39;s collection included Native American artifacts, farm implements, whaling tools, fine arts, antique furniture, household ceramics, guns from the Civil War and other periods, and a Transport Exhibit containing horse-drawn wagons, sleighs, carriages, bicycles, and even a 1905 Curved Dash Oldsmobile.</p><br>
<p>The museum and library continue to serve as a vital resource for people who are interested in the history of Suffolk County.</p><br>
<p>The Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District is located adjacent to Drake Park near the historic downtown area in Bend, Oregon, United States. Because of the unique and varied architecture in the Drake Park neighborhood and its close association with the early development of the city of Bend, the area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District is located in Bend, Oregon. It includes 17 city blocks with 83 individual residential lots. The streets that constitute the boundaries of the district are Riverside Boulevard on the north and west next to Drake Park; Tumalo Avenue on the south; Broadway Street on the southeast; and Franklin Avenue on the northeast corner.</p><br>
<p>The district is 3,623 ft above sea level. The area is relatively flat, sloping gently to the west towards the Deschutes River which runs through Drake Park. Large Ponderosa Pine trees are scattered throughout the district. Many retaining walls and other landscape elements in the neighborhood are made of local basalt fieldstone.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1910, Alexander M. Drake, owner of the Pilot Butte Development Company, subdivided the land that is now Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District into residential lots. The area was laid out south of a curving boulevard that followed the Deschutes River. Lots in the subdivision originally sold for $100 to $250, equivalent to $ to $ today. In 1921, 11 acre along the river, adjacent to the subdivision, were sold to the city of Bend to create Drake Park. That same year, State Street was the third street in Bend to be paved.</p><br>
<p>The spacious lots were considered highly desirable because they were close to Drake Park, which runs along the east side of the Deschutes River. In addition, many home sites had choice views of the Cascade Mountain peaks. The area was only a block away from Bends downtown business district so the city hall, public library, and local Catholic, Methodist, and Episcopalian churches were within easy walking distance. The district was also within walking distance of the Brooks-Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon lumber mills. As a result, the Drake Park district quickly became the preferred neighborhood for the citys most prominent businessmen.</p><br>
<p>With the exception of three houses, all the homes in the historic district were built between 1910 and 1954. The homes in the Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District are unique, and the area&#39;s development parallels the growth of Bend as the city grew from 536 people in 1910 to over 11,000 in 1950. As a result, the Drake Park neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>There are 110 contributing structures on 83 residential lots within the boundary of the Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District. The district has an unusually high concentration of diverse architecture with unique cultural value. The neighborhood also has maintained its architectural integrity with eighty-one percent of the homes and sixty-five percent of the non-residential structures contributing to its historic value.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses built between 1910 and 1919 are American Craftsman style homes. In the early 1920s, a number of American Colonial style homes were built in the neighborhood; however, Craftsman-style homes continued to be popular as well. Beginning around 1925, other architectural styles were introduced to the neighborhood, including Tudor, English Cottage, Cape Cod, Dutch Colonial, and Colonial Revival Style architectureSpanish Villa designs. During the 1930s very few homes were built, but those that were reflected a variety of tastes. In the 1940s, the residents tended to favor more modern designs. The last two historic homes, both built in the 1950s, are a California Ranch style design and a post-war modern tract house. Since 1954, the neighborhood has remained relatively stable and has retained its architectural integrity. A total of fourteen architectural styles are represented in the district.</p><br>
<p>Four houses within the district are previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The George Palmer and Dorothy Binney Putnam House that was purchased by George Palmer Putnam and his wife Dorothy Binney Putnam in 1912; it was named to the register of historic places in 1998. The other three houses are the Thomas McCann House, the Robert D. Moore House, and the Benjamin Hamilton House. The Putnam house, built in 1911, is an American Craftsman style home located on Congress Street. The McCann house is also on Congress Street. It is a Georgian Revival style home built in 1915. The McCann house was designed by David C. Lewis, a prominent Portland architect who also designed the European Building for the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition. The Moore house is a Colonial Revival style home built on Congress Street in 1921. The Hamilton house, on State Street, is a one-story Craftsman-style bungalow built in 1923.</p><br>
<p>There are a number of other distinguished homes in the district including the John and Jennie Keyes House, built in 1913. It is a two-story Craftsman style home located on Riverside Boulevard. The home was designed by Bend&#39;s most prominent architect of the time, J. W. Dimick. The James and Ruth Overturf House was built in 1916. It is another craftsman style bungalow located on Congress Street. In 2002, the house was carefully restored to its original architectural design. The Samuel Blakely House was built in 1919. It is a restored Craftsman bungalow located on Congress Street. Finally, the Fredrick and Myrtle Lieuallen House on Riverside Boulevard is a beautiful Tudor-style home built in 1926.</p><br>
<p>Butchies Drive-In, now known as Baileys Dairy Treat, is a historic restaurant at 534 Park Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a small single-story Art Moderne structure, with sleek rounded lines, neon lighting, and a stucco finish. There are two service windows at the front, and the interior has retained much of its original form, even though the kitchen equipment has been upgraded. The floor is largely original quarry tile, and the bathroom has original fixtures. Built in 1952, this is one of the few establishments of this type to survive, of a number that once lined Park Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>66 Drive-In is a historic drive-in theater national historic district located on USA Route 66 in Carthage, Jasper County, Missouri. The theater opened on September 22, 1949, four years before the first local television stations signed on in the Joplin-Springfield area. In an era before widespread adoption of transistors and before the invention of integrated circuits, car radios were not standard equipment in all vehicles. The few radios installed in vehicles were of vacuum tube design and power-hungry by modern standards. A series of poles in the car park of the nine-acre site were therefore deployed to hold loudspeakers so that viewers could hear the movie.</p><br>
<p>When television became a rival to cinema in the 1950s, movie studios went to widescreen format to differentiate their product from broadcast TV; the drive-in&#39;s screen was widened sometime after 1953 to accommodate the change in format. A playground was added on-site during the baby boom era.</p><br>
<p>The cinema was closed in 1985, but was renovated and reopened in 1998. It now shows two movies Friday, Saturday, Sunday every week.</p><br>
<p>The speakers are now gone, although the poles which once supported them remain.</p><br>
<p>A drive-in movie venue with many strong similarities to the original 66 Drive-In design (such as the original 4:3 screen aspect ratio, pole-mounted speakers and neon signage on the marquée) appears during the epilogue of Pixar&#39;s 2006 film Cars. The fictional drive-in is depicted as screening parody versions of other Pixar feature films.</p><br>
<p>The Carolina Inn is a hotel listed on the National Register of Historic Places on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Orange County, North Carolina, which opened in 1924. The Carolina Inn is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<p>The original section of the hotel was built in 1923–1924 on the site of the chapel that gave the town of Chapel Hill its name. Wings were added in 1939–1940, 1969–1970, and 1995. Each section consists of two stories constructed in red brick topped by a gambrel roof with dormers. The front facade of the original section features a two-story piazza supported by six tall paneled wooden posts and a centrally-placed cupola atop this original block. The building is Colonial Revival in style, with Classical Revival design elements. It was built by alumnus John Sprunt Hill and donated to the university in 1935.</p><br>
<p>It was managed by Doubletree from 1993 to 2007, and is currently operated by Hyatt.</p><br>
<p>Zion Reformed Church of the United Church of Christ, more commonly known as Zion Reformed Church or Zion UCC is a congregation of the United Church of Christ in the borough of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States. It belongs to the Mercersburg Association of the Penn Central Conference of the United Church of Christ.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was organized in 1778 or 1779, but its first church building was not built until 1811–1813. This structure is still used for weekly worship, besides special services and other events, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church is one of three churches in Chambersburg known as "rose rent churches." Every June these churches pay a single rose in rent to the descendants of Benjamin and Jane Chambers, according to the terms of the 18th century deeds. The church is built in a classic Georgian style. For many years it had the largest auditorium in Chambersburg and hosted many well-known speakers, including Archbishop John Hughes in 1842 and Schuyler Colfax in 1867, then Speaker of the House and later Vice President.</p><br>
<p>Besides the building itself, its two original chandeliers are of interest. The chandelier in the entryway is plain and has been electrified. The other, in the sanctuary, is a Waterford crystal chandelier, and is similar to some which are found in St. Paul&#39;s Cathedral, although it is larger than them. It is lit on Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve every year.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and is located in the Chambersburg Historic District.</p><br>

<p>The Heinsbergen Decorating Company Building, also known as the AT Heinsbergen & Company Building, is a historic building on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The castle-like building was built in 1928 for noted muralist Anthony Heinsbergen (1894-1981), and designed by Curlett & Beelman in a Late Gothic Revival and Romanesque style. The building&#39;s notable features include the prominent cylindrical tower, a Renaissance-style mural in the tower arch, and the detailed friezes displaying artisans at work. At least 11 buildings designed by architect Claud Beelman have been listed on the National Register. The building was constructed while Heinsbergen was employed to create murals for Los Angeles City Hall, and he had his building on Beverly Boulevard built using bricks from the old city hall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building served as the office for Heinsbergens mural-painting business for more than 50 years. Heinsbergens company, called Heinsbergen Decorating Company or A.T. Heinsbergen & Company, employed 185 artist painters, and created murals for movie palaces and many important buildings, including the USA Department of Commerce Building in Washington, D.C., the Witkin Library & Courts Building in Sacramento, and the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. In Los Angeles, Heinsbergen&#39;s murals can still be seen at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel, Los Angeles City Hall, the Wiltern Theatre, the ceiling of El Portal de La Paz Mausoleum at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier and the Park Plaza Hotel.</p><br>
<p>After Heinsbergen died, his children continued to operate the business at the Beverly Boulevard building, in many cases working to restore murals that their father had designed decades earlier.</p><br>
<p>The Heinsbergen Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The building was later converted to retail space and was occupied by "Lloyd Klein Couture", the West Coast store for New York fashion designer Lloyd Klein. Kleins customers include Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Gwen Stefani and Kate Beckinsale. Though Kleins name was prominently featured on the building, the name "Heinsbergen Decorating" is still seen above the door at the base of the tower.</p><br>
<p>After 12 years at the Beverly Hills location on Robertson, fashion designer Claire Pettibone&#39;s Flagship Salon has moved and now occupies the Heinsbergen Building and is officially open as of July 10, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Col. Charles Codman Estate is a historic house on Bluff Point Drive in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built in 1870, the house is a well-preserved example of a summer seaside resort house in Queen Anne/Shingle style. It was designed by Boston architect John Sturgis, and modified in the early 20th century, adding some Colonial Revival elements. The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1987, and it was included in the Cotuit Historic District in November 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Codman House is set near the end of Bluff Point Drive, a semi-private spur road off Ocean View Drive just south of its junction with Main Street in Cotuit. It is set on the south side of the road, shortly before the circle at the end of the road. It is a large L-shaped -story wood-frame structure, with hipped and gabled roof, and shingle siding. The short leg of the L projects forward from the right side of the north-facing main facade, and the entrance is near the crook of the L on the long side, which is five bays wide. The two left first-floor bays project, covered by a metal hip roof. Gable-roof dormers pierce the roof on several elevations, some of which have been joined to enlarge the interior space. A single-story porch wraps around the eastern and southern sides, with a bowed projection.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1870 by Colonel Charles R. Codman, an American Civil War veteran who had been summering in the area for twenty years prior to purchasing the property. Designed by Boston architect John Sturgis, the house originally had Queen Anne styling that included bands of decoratively cut shingles and jerkin-headed dormers with bargeboard trim. A later owner removed these features and added others, including the dormer extensions, giving the house a more Colonial Revival feeling.</p><br>
<p>The Collins Cottages Historic District is a historic district encompassing a summer cottage resort in southern Eastham, Massachusetts. It consists of a group of small cottages built by Lewis and Bernard Collins in 1928–29 on a parcel of land on the shore of Town Cove, and were typical of a type of accommodation offered to tourists of the time. The property is located northeast of the Orleans rotary, and is accessed via a section of the old state highway. The cottages continue to be operated as summer accommodations by members of the Collins family.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Cotuit Historic District is a historic district encompassing the heart of the village of Cotuit in Barnstable, Massachusetts. It extends along Main Street from Lowell Street in the north to Sea Street in the south, and includes portions of Ocean View Avenue and properties on adjacent roads. The oldest properties date to the late 18th century , but saw its greatest development during the height of the area&#39;s maritime industry in the mid 19th century. In the late 19th and early 20th century the area saw new development as a summer resort area. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cotuit is located in southwestern Barnstable, on a peninsula bounded on the west by the Santuit River and on the east by Cotuit Bay. The central village of Cotuit is on the northeastern part of this peninsula, extending north and south along Main Street from its junction with School Street. The district includes about 125 mainly residential properties, with most construction dates falling between about 1850 and 1920. The area was first settled in the late 18th century as an agricultural area, and did not achieve prominence as a maritime center until the 19th century. Large-scale sea-faring activities generally raised maritime activities on the south coast of Cape Cod, and Cotuit became home to a number of sea captains and maritime businesses by the mid-19th century. This resulted in the construction of a significant number of fine Greek Revival and Italianate houses that line Main Street.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century the area saw a rise in the construction of summer homes, albeit on a restrained scale. These homes filled in areas around the older homes, and are predominantly Queen Anne in style, although the district includes several Colonial Revival houses. The Cotuit Library, built about 1910 on Main Street, is the district&#39;s only significant Classical Revival building.</p><br>

Prominent buildings in the district include the Town Hall , a Colonial Revival structure built in 1912, the Library , built in 1897, and the Universalist Chapel , built 1889. The main focal point of the district is Windmill Park, location of the Eastham Windmill, built c. 1680 and moved to Eastham in the 1790s; it is the oldest windmill on Cape Cod. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Eldredge Public Library is the public library of Chatham, Massachusetts. It is located at 564 Main Street, in a National Register-listed Romanesque Revival building donated by Chatham native Marcellus Eldredge. It was designed by Boston architect A. M. Marble.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library is set at the southeast corner of Main Street and Library Lane in Chatham&#39;s central business district. It is a 1-1/2 story brick and stone structure, with a slate roof and a granite foundation. Its Romanesque Revival features include parapeted end walls, eyebrow dormers, and brownstone trim, including beltcourses, window trim, and corner quoining. A 1968 addition, extending the building to the rear, was rebuilt in the early 1990s to more sympathetically resemble the original building. The interior has floors of marble and oak, and lavish oak woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The Chatham library has its origins in a small library in South Chatham in 1875, and a library and reading room in Chatham village in 1887. Marcellus Eldredge, a Chatham native who made a fortune as a brewer in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, offered the town a new library building, which was constructed in 1896 at a cost of $30,000. The designer was the otherwise little-known Boston architect A. M. Marble. Eldredge also established a $20,000 endowment to maintain the library. This building was enlarged in 1968 to a design by Alger and Gunn of Hyannis, and again in 1991-92 by A. Anthony Tappe of Tappé Architects in Boston.</p><br>
<p>The library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance in 1992. It is the only major Romanesque Revival work in the town, and one of very few in Barnstable County.</p><br>
<p>The Craigville Historic District encompasses a historic religious camp meeting area in the Craigville section of Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States. It is centered on the junction of Lake Elizabeth Drive and Ocean Avenue, just west of Lake Elizabeth. The camp meeting was established in 1871 by the New England Convention of Christian Churches on land that was purchased from members of the Perry family. Along the grid of roads south of the main junction, gingerbread-decorated Gothic cottages were built over the following decades. The main tabernacle, an open-walled church, was built in 1887. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Craigville is located in southern Barnstable, between the villages of Centerville and Hyannisport. The historic district encompasses the original core of a religious camp meeting area established in 1871 on what was before then called "Strawberry Hill" and became known thereafter as "Christian Hill". Originally called "Camp Christian", the area quickly developed, with a store and post office (both built 1872-73), and an inn (1874). It was renamed Craigville in 1881 after the death of Dr. J. Austin Craig. The camps central feature, its tabernacle, was originally a large tent with a capacity of 600 worshippers, which assumed its more permanent framing and elements in 1887. The area around the tabernacle was subdivided into small parcels, on which campers erected temporary, and eventually permanent structures. This pattern of development was similar to camp meetings established earlier, including ones at Yarmouth and Marthas Vineyard.</p><br>
<p>Architecturally, the Craigville camp meeting&#39;s buildings are predominantly Carpenter Gothic in style, a favorite in numerous other camp meeting grounds. By the end of the 1870s more than thirty cottages had been built and sold, and the number grew into the 1930s. Alpha Cottage is a typical early structure, 1-1/2 stories in height, with a flushboarded facade with carved vergeboard and balcony trim. The post office and store, both built in 1872-73, are relatively plain vernacular commercial buildings, as is the 1874 Craigville Inn.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by the tabernacle property, which is just north of the junction of Lake Elizabeth Drive and Ocean Avenue. The other public buildings are located on the east side of Lake Elizabeth Drive, just south of that junction, and the cottages included in the district line Laurel, Valley, and Ocean Avenues as far as Hotel Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The Falmouth Pumping Station is a historic water pumping station on Pumping Station Road in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The complex consists of an 1898 Queen Anne pumping station designed by Ernest N. Boyden, a low-lift pump and water treatment building built in 1993, a chlorination tank also built in 1993, and a house and garage added in 1932. The plant was built in response to rising demand for vacation properties and fire suppression, and continues to fulfill those functions today. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Falmouth Pumping Station is set on and adjacent to a narrow isthmus of land which separates Grews Pond from Long Pond in central-western Falmouth. Its 8.4 acre parcel lies within Good Will Park, most of which lies to its south, and is otherwise surrounded by town-owned land. Vehicular access is via Pumping Station Road, which is normally limited to town personnel. A walking trail around Long Pond passes next to the pumping station (at the location labeled "Water Dept" on the linked map).</p><br>
<p>The pumphouse is a three-section masonry structure measuring about 150 x. Its central portion, originally housing a steam engine, boiler room, and pump, was designed by Ernest N. Boyden, a Massachusetts architect noted for his waterworks designs, and dates to 1898. The eastern section is an engineers dwelling that was added in 1903 (also to Boydens specifications), and the western section is a newer pump building added in 1953. Boydens section is the most architecturally elaborate, with a hip roof topped by a bellcast cupola, windows set in segmented-arch openings, and a larger round-arched main entrance with double doors. The engineers dwelling is characterized by a porch with large fieldstone piers.</p><br>
<p>The low-lift pumping and water treatment building, and the chlorination tank are both set across the road from the pumphouse. The former is a simple brick building with a shallow-pitch gable roof. The tank, which has a capacity of 1,000,000 usgal, is built out of reinforced concrete and has shallow domed top. The house and garage are located down the road to the west of these structures. The house is a -story structure built out of rusticated concrete blocks, with a side-gable roof that has three gabled dormers. Directly adjoining is a five-bay wood-frame garage, also with a side-gable roof.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of this complex, Falmouth residents took their water from either open water sources or hand-pumped wells. The town by 1896 provided seven hand-pumped wells for this purpose. Although the community at first resisted establishing a municipal water supply, growing demand from vacationers who owned property in the town, combined with increasing fire insurance rates for areas not covered by a municipal water system, prompted its construction. The Falmouth Water Supply Company, a private venture controlled by summer residents, was established in 1898. The complex was built on land owned by one of the proprietors, Joseph Story Fay, who had also given Good Will Park to the town. The town in 1900 voted to exercise an option to purchase the company from its owners, a process completed two years later. The town eventually also purchased a number of other private water providers.</p><br>
<p>The Falmouth Village Green Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic village center of Falmouth, Massachusetts. It is centered on the triangular village green formed by Main Street, West Main Street, and Hewins Street, and extends south on Locust Street to the Old Town Cemetery. This area has been the town center since 1756, and is architecturally dominated by late Colonial and Federal period buildings. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Falmouth was settled in about 1660, but was not set off from Barnstable until 1686. Its first town center was about 0.75 mi south of the present green, and the 1756 relocation of the meeting house to this area was the subject of much debate. This move spurred the construction of houses along what is now Locust Street, which connected the new center to the south coast, and adjacent to the meeting house, where seven houses survive from that period.</p><br>
<p>Initially an agricultural community, maritime economic activity became more important in Falmouth the late 18th and early 19th century. Between the 1850s and 1870s a number of Italianate houses were built, typically by ships captains or other associated with maritime trades. Later buildings are more reflective of the areas transformation around the turn of the 20th century into a summer resort area, including the Queen&#39;s Buyway, a 1925 series of Colonial Revival shops on Palmer Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The Forestdale School, also known as the Greenville School, is a historic one-room school building at 87 Falmouth-Sandwich Road  in Sandwich, Massachusetts. The single story wood-frame structure was built in 1878, and is one of a small number of surviving district school buildings on Cape Cod. It has Greek Revival features, including gable end returns, and transom windows over the two entrances. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Forestdale School is set on the west side of Massachusetts Route 130, close to the road, just north of the Forestdale Fire Station. It is a small single-story wood-frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof, wooden shingle siding, and a brick foundation covered in concrete. A small ell of early 20th-century date extends the building to the rear. The main facade, facing the street, has two symmetrically placed entrances, each surmounted by a transom window and a projecting cornice. A single sash window is placed centrally in the gable. The side elevations each have two sash windows. The main block has two small vestibule areas, which open into the large classroom area; the rear ell is taken up by a kitchen and bathrooms. The main room has retained its original wainscoting.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1878 to serve the predominantly agricultural Forestdale area of Sandwich, which was known as Greenville prior to 1887. Of 21 district schools built by the town in the 19th century, it is the least-altered one to survive. The school was operated until 1927, when the district schools were consolidated into a single graded school. It was then leased by the town to the Forestdale Men&#39;s Club, which met in the building until the 1960s. After undergoing restoration, it was briefly used as a branch library, preschool, and dancing school. Since 1980 it has been used by local Boy Scouts as a meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Hill Rural Historic District is a historic district encompassing two farmsteads with more than 200 years of history in Eastham, Massachusetts. The district is a 100 acre area of forest, fields, and salt marshes that was owned by the Knowles and Penninman families from 1742 to 1941. It has been part of the Cape Cod National Seashore since 1961. The area is dominated by the rise called "Fort Hill", which provides extensive views of the area and has its own rich history. The district includes the Edward Penniman House and Barn, previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Nauset Archeological District, a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The French Cable Hut is a historic building in Cape Cod National Seashore, near the Nauset Beach Light in Eastham, Massachusetts. Built in 1891, the hut formed a linkage point in the transatlantic telegraph cable of the French Cable Company connecting the cable, where it came ashore near the present site to its main station in Orleans. After the cable was abandoned in 1932, the hut was adapted for residential use. It has since been restored to its turn-of-the-century appearance by the National Park Service. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The cable hut is a small single-story wood-frame structure with a gable roof, and measures about 10 x. Its walls are finished in wooden shingles, and it has simple white trim. There is a door in one gable end, and a single sash window in one of the side walls. The building was restored to its early 20th-century appearance in 1998–2000, after being relocated about 200 ft from the eroding shoreline. It is set in a historically compatible way near the Nauset Beach Light, which was also moved in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The first French-owned transatlantic cable was laid in 1869 from Brest, France to Duxbury, Massachusetts, and was acquired by an American company in 1873. A new French Cable Company was established, which in 1879 laid a second cable to Eastham via Saint Pierre and Miquelon, with a small station near the shore in Eastham. For the benefit of its workers, the company established a new station in Orleans (which now houses a museum), and replaced the original station with this hut, where the transatlantic cable was joined to one running along Nauset Beach and through Town Cove to Orleans.</p><br>
<p>The cable was operated until World War II, when it was abandoned with the French surrender to Nazi Germany in 1940. The cabin was abandoned, and auctioned by the town for back taxes in 1946, without prior notification to the company. The new owners added living quarters, increasing the building&#39;s size to about 20 x. The original hut footprint, which had originally been unfinished inside, was finished for use as a living room, and bedrooms and a kitchen were built on. This building was used as a seasonal rental property until 1972, when it was acquired by the National Park Service as part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The park service used it for seasonal employee housing.</p><br>
<p>When surveyed in 1986, the hut was about 20 ft from the edge of the bluff above Nauset Beach. In 1998 the building was relocated back from the bluff and restored to its original appearance, removing the living quarters and alterations made in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<p>The cable hut was featured in an episode of the PBS television series History Detectives concerning a 19th-century transatlantic telegraph cable.</p><br>
<p>The French Cable Station is a historic telegraph station on the southeast corner of Cove Road and MA 28 in Orleans, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1891 by the French Cable Company, which was installing numerous cables in Cape Cod throughout the late 19th century. By 1898 the station was the terminus of a 3,200 mi trans-Atlantic telegraph cable called "Le Direct." When France surrendered to Nazi Germany in 1940, it was taken over by the federal government for security reasons, but wasn&#39;t returned to the company until 1952. The company resumed operations until 1959. After being purchased by ten prominent Orleans citizens in 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places the same year.</p><br>
<p>The building now serves as the French Cable Station Museum, featuring displays of Atlantic undersea telegraphic cables, instruments, maps, and memorabilia.</p><br>
<p>The Goodspeed House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. It is believed to have been built by Roger Goodspeed, Marstons Mills&#39; first settler. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Goodspeed House is a -story wood-frame structure, five asymmetrical bays in width, with a side-gable roof and central chimney. Exterior trim is minimal, with simple surrounds around the windows, and a lintel shelf above the main entry. An ell extends to the rear of the house toward a barn.</p><br>
<p>While the house is traditionally claimed to have been built by local settler Roger Goodspeed in 1653, this has since been disputed. The Marstons Mills Historical Society has claimed that the residence is "proven" to have been built before 1708 by Rogers son Ebenezer. The house remained in the hands of Goodspeeds descendants for five generations. Its asymmetrical facade suggests that it was at first built as a "half house", only three bays wide.</p><br>
<p>The Fuller House is a historic house on Parker Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built c. 1800, the house is a well-preserved local example of a Federal period farmhouse with barn. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fuller House is set on the northwest side of Parker Road in West Barnstable, just northeast of its junction with Church Street, and is set near the road, behind a low fieldstone wall. Its main block is a -story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, with a side-gable roof and wood shingle siding. In a somewhat unusual arrangement for the period, the chimney is located centered behind the northernmost bay, while the main entrance, which is more typically in front of the chimney, is located in the southern bay. The entry is flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window, typical Federal style features. The windows are six-over-six sash, with simple trim surrounds. There are two small extension ells, one to either side of the main block. The property includes an English barn of approximately the same age just northeast of the house.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the house is estimated to be about 1800 based on architectural analysis; the house is known to have been standing in 1836. The property was owned at this time by members of the Fuller family, who were engaged in a variety of agricultural pursuits. Parker Road was laid out in 1793 and widened in 1802.</p><br>
<p>The Gifford Farm is a historic farmhouse in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The -story Cape style house was built c. 1850, and is an unusual local instance of a double house. Rather than having five bays, a traditional Cape organization, it has a pair of entrances flanked by pairs of windows. The house was probably built by Russell Hinckley; it was a major social center in the early decades of the 20th century, when it was owned by Lorenzo Gifford.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Edward Francis Gleason House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The two story wood-frame house was built c. 1790, and is a fine local example of Federal styling. It has an L shape, with intersecting hip roofs, and two interior chimneys. The main entry is centered on the five-bay front facade, and is elaborately framed with sidelight windows and a fanlight, and is sheltered by a portico with Tuscan columns. The house is notable for its association with Dr. Edward Francis Gleason, founder of Cape Cod Hospital, and for its ownership by Timothy Baker, a ship&#39;s captain engaged in the coasting trade.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Half Way House is a historic shelter for shipwrecked mariners on Andrew Harding Lane in Chatham, Massachusetts. This small shed-like structure was probably built in the late 19th century, and originally stood opposite the Old Harbor USA Life Saving Station. It may have been one of a number of such shelters erected by the Massachusetts Humane Society to provide protection for shipwrecked mariners, and is probably the last of its type. It was blown down in a 1944 hurricane, and moved to a location on private property off Andrew Harding Lane.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Massachusetts Historic Commission Records indicate the building was demolished in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Thomas Gray House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame house was built c. 1875, and is a locally rare example of Stick style design. It is T-shaped in plan, with varied gables that have applied stickwork decoration, and its windows have boldly stylized pediments. The property also includes a period barn with cupola. Its owner, Thomas Gray, was a prominent local captain of steamships.</p><br>
