<p>The Framingham Reservoir No. 1 Dam and Gatehouse is a historic water works facility in Framingham, Massachusetts. This complex is located at the end of Framingham Reservoir No. 1, which is also known as the Stearns Reservoir, off Winter Street and north of Long Avenue. Constructed from 1876 to 1878 as part of an expansion of the water supply of the city of Boston, this was designed by its first city architect George A. Clough. The historical purpose of the reservoir, which was located at the confluence of two branches of the Sudbury River, was primarily to control the rivers water level, and secondarily to provide reserve supply capacity. The reservoirs reserve capacity was generally used only as a backup supply, as the reservoir&#39;s muddy bottom made it a less desirable source than reservoir No. 3 upstream. However the reservoir No. 1 system was nonetheless important due to its role in controlling the flow of the river downstream, and due to the gatehouse which controlled the water flows for all the Framingham reservoirs into the Sudbury Aqueduct. Reservoir No. 1 is no longer maintained as a reserve water source, although it is still owned by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, successor to the Boston Water Board which oversaw its construction. MWRA retains ownership as the gatehouse contains the connection between Reservoir No. 3 and the Sudbury Aqueudct which remain part of the emergency water systems.</p><br>
<p>The dam measures 793 ft in length, with an overfall area that is 169 ft long. The embankments are 20 ft wide, with a core of granite rubble laid in cement. The overfall area is topped with cut granite, and originally had wooden flashboards held in by pins. The gatehouse is a -story granite structure, designed by Boston city architect George Clough. Located at the southern end of the overfall, it houses one end of the Sudbury Aqueduct extension pipe from Farm Pond, a 4 ft pipe connecting this reservoir to numbers 2 and 3, and gates for channeling water either into the aqueduct or into the river. The gates allowed water to be selectively channeled from any of the reservoirs (1, 2, or 3) into the Sudbury Aqueduct or into the river below the dam. There are also flood gates and equipment for moving the dams flashboards. Today the gatehouse, Sudbury Aqueduct, and the pipes from reservoir number 3 remain part of MWRAs emergency systems. If activated, the water from reservoir number 3 flows from the dam number 1 gatehouse down the Sudbury Aqueduct extension pipe to a gatehouse at Farm Pond where it enters the Sudbury Aqueduct proper which in turn brings the water to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The dam and gatehouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Framingham Reservoir No. 2 Dam and Gatehouse is a historic water works facility in Framingham, Massachusetts. The dam and gatehouse are located west of the junction of Winter and Fountain Streets, and impound a branch of the Sudbury River. The reservoir, which is also known as the Brackett Reservoir, was built 1877-79 as part of an expansion of the water supply of the city of Boston. The dam is 1,376 ft in length, with a centered overfall area. The core of the dam is granite rubble laid in cement, with earthen embankments. The overfall area is faced on the downstream side with cut granite, and earthen embankment on the upstream side. It is topped with granite and originally had iron mounts for flashboards. The gatehouse is a rectangular granite structure with a steep hip roof, a brick chimney and an eyebrow dormer. The door and windows are in round-arch openings. It contains gate controls for regulating water flow from the reservoir and from a 4 ft pipe connected to Reservoir No. 1, and a 2 ft pipe connected to the Ashland Reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The dam was built by contractors from upstate New York, and the gatehouse was built by James Fagin of Boston to a design by the Boston city architect, George Clough. The Metropolitan Water Board, established in 1895 to oversee the city&#39;s water supply, took the reservoir out of service soon afterward due to its poor water quality.</p><br>
<p>The dam and gatehouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Framingham Reservoir No. 3 Dam and Gatehouse is a historic waterworks facility in Framingham, Massachusetts. The dam and gatehouse are located at the southeastern end of Framingham Reservoir No. 3, off Massachusetts Route 9. They were built 1876–78 as part of an expansion of the public water supply of the city of Boston. The dam is 2,280 ft long, and impounds an area of 253 acre in the Sudbury River watershed. The reservoir is the largest of the three Framingham reservoirs that were built at that time. The dam&#39;s core is constructed of granite rubble laid in cement. There is a granite-lined overfall area 100 ft long, which was originally topped by flashboards. At the end of the overfall area nearest Route 9 stands the gatehouse, a granite structure with a rectangular main block and a smaller wing. Both sections have a steeply pitched slate roof. The door is in a round-arch recess, and the building is capped by a cupola. It houses controls for two 4 ft mains connected to the Sudbury Aqueduct via the gatehouse at Reservoir No. 1. The water is directed either directly beyond the dam into reservoir 1 or through the 4-foot mains to the Sudbury Aqueduct gatehouse.</p><br>
<p>The dam was built by contractors from Worcester, and the gatehouse was built by Benjamin Dewing of Boston to a design by the Boston city architect, George Clough. Since its construction, the reservoir, which is also known as the Foss Reservoir, has been connected by an open channel to the Sudbury Reservoir (in 1898), and had its shore areas resurfaced (in 1907–08). Nearly all of the reservoir&#39;s water comes from the Sudbury Reservoir as its own natural watershed is very limited. Of the Framingham Reservoirs, Reservoir #3 is the only one that was regularly used throughout its time as an active water source due to its better water quality than the reservoirs to the south. The reservoir is no longer in active service though it is maintained as an emergency source. It is the only one of the Framingham reservoirs still maintained as an emergency source. The dam and gatehouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Glen Road Historic District is a historic district at 233-317 Glen Road in Weston, Massachusetts. The district encapsulates historical development trends in Weston, in which land began in agricultural uses, and was later transformed into either resort or suburban residential housing. It is also notable for its longtime association with the Jennings family, who owned the land from the 18th century into the 20th, and engaged in all three land uses. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Glen Road Historic District is a linear area of about 27 acre, extending along Glen Road in southern Weston, between Oak Street and Pembroke Road. The road is a winding country lane, now lined with suburban residential construction. All of its 28 houses are wood frame structures, either 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height, and most are finished in either wooden shingles or clapboards. The oldest house in the district is a c. 1732 farmhouse, which is also believed to be the town&#39;s oldest surviving building. Most of the other residences were built either as a series of cottages that were part of a hotel complex developed around the turn of the 20th century, or were suburban development from the early decades of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The land through which Glen Road now winds was part of a land grant made in 1642 to William Jennings, when the area was an outer precinct of Watertown. Jennings descendant Nathaniel built the oldest house here, now standing at 266 Glen Road. The second house in the district was built about 1812 by Paul Pratt, now at 317 Glen Road. In the late 19th century, most of the land in the area was consolidated again under Edward Jennings, who operated a dairy farm called Glen Farm. Edward&#39;s brother Willard, also a farmer, took in boarders during the summer, beginning a small tourist trade. The house now at 245 Glen Road was expanded as a small hotel with forty rooms, and Willard Jennings added five cottages to establish a small resort complex; four of these still survive. Sometime in the 1920s, the wings of the hotel were destroyed by fire. With the dairy operation in declined in the 1910s, the Jenningses began to subdivide the property, resulting in the construction of most of the other residences in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Golden Ball Tavern is a historic tavern, now a museum, located in Weston, Massachusetts. Built in 1768, it is one of the towns finest examples of Late Georgian architecture. It also played a pivotal role in local activities during the American Revolution, due to its Loyalist tavern keeper. The tavern was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was included in Westons Boston Post Road Historic District in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Golden Ball Tavern stands on the south side of Boston Post Road, near the center of Weston, just east of its junction with Golden Ball Lane. It is a two-story wood frame structure, its main section covered by a hip roof and finished in wooden clapboards. A two-story ell, likely an older house, extends to one side, and a single-story ell to the other. The main entrance is at the center of a five-bay facade, flanked by simple pilasters and topped by a modillioned cornice. The property also has a barn that is believed to date to the main house&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The tavern was built in 1768 by Captain Isaac Jones, a local shopkeeper. Jones, a Loyalist, gave shelter to British soldiers performing reconnaissance on rebellious activities in 1774. After the Boston Tea Party in December 1773, the tavern was raided by local Patriots, who believed Jones to be serving tea on which hated taxes had been collected. Known locally as the Weston Tea Party, the event consisted of little more than a ransacking of the premises (which had no taxed tea). Later in the Revolution, Jones apparently joined the cause of independence, and regained a position of prominence in the community. His tavern flourished until the early 19th century, when the opening of the Worcester Turnpike siphoned traffic away from the Post Road. The tavern closed about 1805, and was then occupied as a residence by six generations of the Jones family. It then underwent restoration, and has since been opened as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Paul Gibbs House is a historic house at 1147 Edmands Road in Framingham, Massachusetts, USA. Built in 1860 for a member of a prominent local family, it is a good example of Italianate architecture, probably the work of noted local architect Alexander Rice Esty. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Paul Gibbs House stands in a rural area of northwestern Framingham, on the north side of Edmands Road, between Pine Hill and Nixon Roads. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a low-pitch hip roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. The roof has extended eaves, below which are shallow attic windows. The main facade is three bays wide, with a pair of projecting rectangular bays on either side of the main entrance. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a rounded transom window. A series of ells extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably designed by architect Alexander Rice Esty, and built c. 1860 for Paul Gibbs. The attribution to Esty is based on surviving architectural elements that are similar to other documented works of his in Framingham. Gibbs was a member of the locally prominent Gibbs family, who had been major landowners of northwestern Framingham since the early 18th century, and the house was built around the time of his marriage. It is the last surviving house of a series of Gibbs family homes built in the area. The property associated with the house remained in use as farmland into the 1970s, although this house was converted in the 20th century for use as a tenant house by farm workers.</p><br>
<p>The Goodale Homestead is a historic First Period house located at 368 Chestnut Street in Hudson, Massachusetts, United States. The oldest portion of the -story timber-frame house dates to 1702, making it the oldest existing building in Hudson. George Francis Dow and John Goodale designed and built the house. It was later home to Goodale&#39;s various notable descendants. The house may have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>George Francis Dow and owner John Goodale designed and built the original 1702 portion of the Goodale Homestead in what was then Marlborough, Massachusetts. When Goodale died in 1752, the house passed to his only son Nathan Goodale. At least five generations of notable Goodales were born or lived at the homestead, including Nathan&#39;s only son Abner Goodale, a captain in the American Revolutionary War who fought at the Battle of White Plains and later a deacon.</p><br>
<p>Abner and his wife Mary "Molly" Howe Goodale had at least ten children. Their first son Nathan Goodale became a schoolteacher while his younger brother David Goodale followed in their father&#39;s footsteps as a deacon. Their youngest sister Lucy Goodale Thurston became one of the first American Protestant missionaries in Hawaii.</p><br>
<p>Both Nathan and David Goodale had large families. Though Nathan was the oldest son he decided David should be the house&#39;s owner and occupant, supposedly stating, "Thou art the one to remain. Our father was a deacon, you are also a deacon, and let remain as the Deacon Goodale farm."</p><br>
<p>David Goodale was an anti-slavery abolitionist who ran for Congress on the Free Soil Party ticket. The house therefore possibly served as a stop on the Underground Railroad prior to the American Civil War. David&#39;s son David Brainard Goodale also became a deacon, making him the fifth generation of Goodales and third generation of deacons who were born or lived at the ancestral homestead.</p><br>
<p>In 1955 then owner Mrs. Arthur Greenwood donated the houses northern ell to the Smithsonian Institution. When the Marlborough, Hudson, and Massachusetts Historical Commissions inventoried the house as a historic property in 1974, Mrs. Greenwoods estate owned it.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1975. Since 1975 the house has been owned by corporations established by Thurston Twigg-Smith, Hawaiian businessman and a great-great-grandson of Lucy Goodale Thurston.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original -story, wood frame-central portion of the Goodale house dates to 1702. This main part of the house is sheathed with wood clapboards and includes an original stone chimney. The house&#39;s western ell and a brick chimney are later additions, though still predating the American Revolution. The extant lead glass windows and dentiled cornice are 1920s-era reproductions. A northern ell was removed in 1955. The property includes two existing barns.</p><br>
<p>Historically, orchards and woodlots owned by the Goodale family surrounded the house. Goodale descendant Francis Goodale of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, donated the forest to the NEFF in 1967.</p><br>
<p>The Shirley Center Historic District encompasses the original historic center of Shirley, Massachusetts. The district is centered on the 1753 town common area, from which five roads  radiate away. The district includes the buildings that surround the common, as well as some that line these roads. The district includes Shirley&#39;s town hall and First Parish Congregational Church.</p><br>
<p>The district features Greek Revival, Georgian, and Federal style architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Saxonville Historic District of Framingham, Massachusetts, encompasses a historic 19th century mill village at the heart of Saxonville. The district is centered on the mill complex at the junction of Water, Central, Elm, and Concord Streets, radiating north on Elm Street and west on Water Street. The extant mill brick and concrete buildings were built after fires destroyed older mill buildings in the 1880s by the Roxbury Carpet Company, whose owner, Michael Simpson, had successfully orchestrated the commercial production of carpets in a single facility. The district includes mill worker housing, some of which dates to the 1820s, as well as private residential development from the period, and a cluster of commercial and civic buildings adjacent to the mill complex.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Wayside Inn Historic District is a historic district on Old Boston Post Road in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The district contains the Wayside Inn, a historic landmark that is one of the oldest inns in the country, operating as Howe&#39;s Tavern in 1716. The district features Greek Revival and American colonial architecture. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>The Wayside Inn</h2><br>
<h2>Other structures</h2><br>
<p>Henry Ford built a replica and fully working grist mill and a white non-denominational chapel, named after his mother, Mary, and mother-in-law, Martha. Less well known is Fords attempt to create a reservoir for the Wayside Inn. Across US Rte. 20 and now secluded in a wooded area behind private homes is a 30 ft. high stone dam. Dubbed by the locals as "Fords Folly" the structure failed to retain water because the feeding brook provided insufficient volume and the ground was too porous for a pond to fill.</p><br>
<p>In the grounds of the chapel stands the Redstone School, a one-room schoolhouse which was moved from its original location in Sterling, Massachusetts, by Ford, who believed the building was the actual schoolhouse mentioned in Sarah Josepha Hale&#39;s poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb".</p><br>
<p>The Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside is a 23 mile Massachusetts state park forming the northeastern border of the district; the "Wayside" name was selected as the Wayside Inn Railroad Waiting Room was a B&M station at the crossing with Dutton Road.</p><br>
<p>The Silver Hill Historic District encompasses the first major residential subdivision of Weston, Massachusetts. It includes 79 buildings on Silver Hill and Westland Roads, and Merriam Street. The area of Silver Hill and Westland Roads was formally laid out in 1905, while Merriam Street is a very old country road which had seen some development in the 1890s. The houses in the district are predominantly Colonial Revival and Queen Anne in their styling, a relative rarity in Weston although common in other Boston suburbs. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Silver Hill neighborhood is located in northern Weston, south of North Street (Massachusetts Route 117) and the Silver Hill stop of the MBTA&#39;s Fitchburg Line commuter rail. The district extends along Merriam Street, which crosses the railroad line on an old wooden bridge, south to Westland Road. Just south of the railroad crossing, Silver Hill Road branches west, then curves south to flank the eponymous hill, reaching its end at Westland Road. The neighborhood is extended further west on Westland Road, an area which is excluded from the historic district due to a loss of historical integrity in many of its houses. The district is complete residential in character, occupying about 54 acre with 41 historically significant houses, as well as a number of period barns and garages.</p><br>
<p>Merriam Street is a road that dates to relatively early in the area&#39;s settlement history, but its northern end remained farmland until the 1890s. The Silver Hill railroad stop was opened in 1875, and helped spur residential development. The oldest house in the district, 227 Merriam Street, was built in 1892 for a worker at the Hook & Hastings Pipe Organ Company, whose plant was one stop east on the rail line. Land along Merriam Street was subdivided and built first, and in 1905 the Weston Land Company was formed by local owners and investors to plat and develop Silver Hill and Westland Roads. Although land was divided into lots of 30,000 ft&sup2, many were sold as double lots, resulting in a relatively spacious development. Most of the houses built are either Queen Anne or Colonial Revival in character, and most were built by 1920.</p><br>
<p>The Shirley Village Historic District encompasses the main commercial and industrial village of Shirley, Massachusetts. It is located in the southern part of the town, and grew up around a series of mills that were located along Catacoonamug Brook, and then the railroad, which was built through the area in the 1840s. The district contains 441 properties. It is roughly bounded by Center, Harvard, Leominster and Shaker Roads. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Shirley was settled in the 1720s and incorporated in 1775. Its colonial town center (recognized in the Shirley Center Historic District) was nearer its geographic center than Shirley Village. The village grew in the 19th century as an industrial site, overtaking the original center economically, and eventually also becoming the site of its main municipal buildings. Catacoonamug Brook, the source of its early power, was the site of a gristmill and sawmill as early as 1740. Lancaster Road, which passes through the village, was also the only major stagecoach route in the town, and the village was also where the Boston and Fitchburg Railroad was routed through in 1845. The village&#39;s dominant economic force thereafter were the cotton mills, of which the large building of the Phoenix Mills still stands. Residential growth on the south side of the railroad in the second half of the 19th century resulted in a large number of mainly vernacular wood frame residences.</p><br>
<p>The focal point of the district is near its western end, where Leominster, Lancaster, and Harvard Roads meet with Main Street and Center Road in a series of intersections. The district radiates out for short distances along most of these roads, and more significantly to the east, along Front and Fredonia Streets and Ayer Road. There is one cemetery, the Village Cemetery on Harvard Road, established in 1849. Notable brick buildings in the district include several schoolhouses, the war memorial hall, and the library, a handsome Richardsonian Romanesque building trimmed in brownstone.</p><br>
<p>St. Pauls Parish Church is a historic, Gothic Revival Episcopal church designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram. It is located at 26 Washington Street in Malden, Massachusetts and was built in 1913. The current building replaced an earlier 1871 building that now serves as the churchs parish house. Some of the church&#39;s stained glass windows were created by the noted glass studio of Wilbur Herbert Burnham. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Its current minister is the Rev. Stephen Voysey.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>St. Pauls Parish Church is located at the southwest corner of Washington and Florence Streets, west of downtown Maldens Main Street business district, and south of a residential area. It is a two-story rectangular structure, built out of ashlar granite stone in the Gothic Revival style. Its main entrance faces north toward Florence Street, recessed in a Gothic-arch opening, above which are a pair of tall Gothic windows. Smaller Gothic windows are elevated on either side of the entrance, with buttresses at the outer edge of the facade. The church is six bays deep, with buttresses separating paired Gothic windows.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by the noted proponent of the Gothic Revival, Ralph Adams Cram, and was completed in 1913. Its stained glass windows were provided by Wilbur Herbert Burnham, a frequent Cram collaborator. The congregation for which it was built was founded in 1861 and formally organized in 1867. It first met in a number of area halls, and its first church was built on an adjacent lot in 1872. Growth in the congregation prompted the need for a larger edifice, resulting in construction of the present building. The old church building now serves as the parish house.</p><br>
<p>The Graniteville Historic District of Westford, Massachusetts, United States, encompasses one of the towns historic 19th century industrial villages. The area was, until the arrival of the railroad in 1847, primarily known for its granite quarries. The railroads arrival prompted the construction of an industrial mill by Charles G. Sargent, and the area developed rapidly thereafter. A significant amount of housing stock, as well as civic institutional buildings, were built during the second half of the 19th century. The district is bounded on the east by River Street and on the south by Bridge Street and North Main Street. The western edge of the district runs just before North Main Street&#39;s junction with West Street, northward and then eastward to encompass a number of quarry sites, before meeting North Main Street at River Street.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Gowing–Sheldon Historic District is a historic district containing two formerly rural properties, at 642 and 643 Woburn Street in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The district&#39;s houses are reminders of a period when the area was rural farmland along one of the oldest roads in town. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Gowing–Sheldon House</h2><br>
<p>The Gowing–Sheldon House at 642 Woburn Street is a Federal style wood frame house built c. 1809. Like many period houses, it faces south and rests on a granite foundation; however, it is only four bays wide and one bay deep. There is a rear ell perpendicular to the main house that was added sometime before the turn of the 20th century, and has been modified since, based on photographic evidence. This ell connects the house to a 19th-century barn.</p><br>
<p>This house was built by Joel Tweed, a cordwainer who bought the property in 1809 and sold it, with house, in 1819. It was acquired in 1920 by John Gowing, who is reported in local histories to have raised a large family there. He sold the property in 1864 to Horace Sheldon, whose family owned the property until 1898.</p><br>
<h2>Lucy and Henry Sheldon House</h2><br>
<p>In 1892, Lucy Sheldon purchased land across the street from the Sheldon house from her father-in-law, Henry, who was Horace&#39;s brother. The house that Lucy and Henry, Jr. had constructed in 1893 is one of the most elaborate Queen Anne houses in Wilmington. The house has cross gables expanding the third floor, its gables decorated with cut shingles and heavy brackets. A single story porch is decorated with turned posts and jigsaw brackets. The entry is highlighted by a gable end decorated with a starburst. In the back of the property is a carriage house, which carries on the Queen Anne styling.</p><br>
<p>The Groton Leatherboard Company is a historic former factory complex at 6 W. Main Street in West Groton, Massachusetts. It manufactured leatherboard, a bonded leather made by pulping and compressing scrap leather, waste paper and wood pulp, but went out of business. The structure has since been renovated and adapted into senior housing called RiverCourt Residences. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The factory was built in 1916 on the site of an earlier saw and grist mill, which operated by waterpower from the Squannacook River. The original mill was established by the Tarbell family, a name prominent in Groton history since its settlement. The present complex&#39;s access road is flanked by brick houses built by brothers of that family; the Col. Abel Tarbell House is today a bed-and-breakfast, while the Asa Tarbell House is a mixed-use annex of the River Court senior housing facility. In 1862, artist Edmund C. Tarbell was born in the latter.</p><br>
<p>The Groton Inn is an inn at 128 Main Street in Groton, Massachusetts. Until 2011, it was an inn consisting of three historic structures, and was believed to be the oldest operating inn in the nation. The oldest structure was complete in 1678, making the inn the oldest in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Local investors and residents proposed rebuilding the inn, and in 2017 construction began. Completed in April 2018, the inn is now a 60-room boutique hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Hapgood House is a historic house in Stow, Massachusetts. Built c. 1726, it is a well-preserved late First Period, including a rare surviving stairway balustrade from the period. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hapgood House is set on the east side of Treaty Elm Lane, a rural residential dead-end street in central Stow, near a stream that descends to the Assabet River. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboard siding. A leanto section was added to the rear, giving the house a saltbox profile, and an ell extends to the right. The front eave is deeper than is typical for the period. The front rooms of the first floor have exposed beams with quirk beading, a late First Period feature, and the left room&#39;s fireplace includes the remains of a beehive oven. The entrance vestibule has a narrow winding staircase, with its original balustrade, a feature that rarely survives from houses of this period. The upstairs front chambers were probably plastered, also a late First Period feature. In the upper level of the leanto section, original exterior siding is visible, indicating the leanto was added later.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this -story timber-frame house was probably built c. 1726, not long after Hezekiah Hapgood&#39;s marriage. It has a history of 200 years of association with his descendants.</p><br>
<p>The J. Neely Johnson House is a Greek Revival style Neoclassical historic home built in 1853, located in Sacramento, California. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>In 1856 it was a home of John Neely Johnson, fourth governor of California. The next fifth governor, John B. Weller, lived across the street. It is currently owned by Irene Ho of Sacramento, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was constructed in 1853 for William Cozzens, a horticulturalist from New England, who made his way to California via Panama. Mr. Cozzens couldn&#39;t pay the builder and lost the house in court that same year. J. Neely Johnson, fourth Governor of California who served from 1856 until 1858, lived in the home prior to his term as governor. A press report in 1856 noted that Johnson gave a brief speech from the balcony prior to being escorted to the State Capitol for his inauguration. Johnson was a lawyer by trade who moved to California during the 1849 California Gold Rush. Selden A. McMeans, State Tresurer of California elected in 1853, purchased the home in 1854 and later sold it in January 1856 to David S. Terry, California Supreme Court Justice. Terry resided there during the time of his infamous duel with Senator David Broderick who was shot by Terry and died three days later. Johnson, McMeans and Terry were prominent members of the American Party, also called the "Know Nothings" because of the secretive nature of their dealings. It is speculated that the Party conducted some of their private meetings at this home.</p><br>
<p>The Harnden Tavern, also known as the Col. Joshua Harnden Tavern, is a historic tavern that was built in 1770 at 430 Salem Street in Wilmington, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The Col. Joshua Harnden Tavern was built during the last third of the eighteenth century in the town of Wilmington, Massachusetts. The site is on Lot No. One in the "Land of Nod," in the most northerly part of the Charlestown Grant. This imposing structure is an excellent surviving example of late-Georgian architecture. Joshua Harnden was the great-grandson of Richard Harnden, the first Englishman to settle in what is now North Wilmington. Joshua and his wife Sarah (Cornell) and their six children were the first family to occupy this house. During the Revolutionary War, Joshua served in Capt. Timothy Walker&#39;s Militia Co. Later he attained the rank of colonel shortly before his retirement. Joshua was elected to serve the Town of Wilmington as one of its three selectmen. After the Revolutionary War, he opened his home to the public as an inn or tavern. Col. Harnden died on September 9, 1807. His wife died on August 9, 1816. The property was sold to Dr. Silas Brown in 1818. It remained in the Brown - Hathaway family for 125 years. There is credible tradition that the tavern was used as a station on the Underground Railroad prior to the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The building was taken by the town by eminent domain in 1973, and presently houses the Wilmington Town Museum.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>

<p>The Rev. Samuel Woodward House is a historic house located at 19 Concord Road in Weston, Massachusetts. Built in 1753, it is a well-preserved example of mid-18th century Georgian architecture. It has also been home to a succession of people significant to the history of the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and was included in Weston&#39;s Boston Post Road Historic District in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Woodward House stands just west of the main cluster of buildings making up Weston village&#39;s commercial heart. It is located on the north side of Concord Road, just north of its junction with Boston Post Road, and roughly opposite the end of Fiske Lane. It is a typical Georgian colonial house, stories in height, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. It has five bays on the front facade, with a central entry. The entry has been projected (a likely later addition) to provide a vestibule area under a gabled roof. The entry is framed by pilasters and a modest entablature; the gable above is pedimented.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1753 by Reverend Samuel Woodward, the town&#39;s second minister for the First Parish Church, on land he purchased in 1752. The house is believed to incorporate elements of an older house, probably built by the previous landowner, William Smith. In addition to Rev. Woodward, the house has also been occupied by his successor, Rev. Samuel Kendal. Kendal sold the house to Artemas Ward Jr., a prominent local lawyer and politician who lived in the house next door. Ward sold this house in 1797 to Dr. Amos Bancroft, who was the town physician for many years, and was active in local town government. It was owned for over 100 years by the Fiske family.</p><br>
<p>The Woods End Road Historic District is a residential historic district at 68 Baker Bridge Rd., 1, 5, 9, and 10 Woods End Road in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The district consists of five houses, one of which is Colonial Revival in style, and the other four are in International Style. Helen Storrow, a wealthy philanthropist who owned the land, also funded the construction of the houses, which were among the earliest of their style to be built in the United States.</p><br>
<p>All four of the International houses were designed by internationally renowned architects, and three of those served as the architect&#39;s own residence. The most well known of these is the Gropius House at 68 Baker Bridge Road, a National Historic Landmark and house museum owned by Historic New England, which was designed by Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius as his personal residence. Two other houses on Woods End Road were also designed by Gropius and his friend Marcel Breuer. Breuer also designed one of the houses on Woods End Road as his personal residence, as did Walter Bogner.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

<p>The Wilson Mill—Old Burlington Road District encompasses a historic mill site and several adjacent historic houses in Bedford, Massachusetts. It is located southwest of the junction of Massachusetts Route 62 and United States Route 3, and includes a mill pond and dam, a stone-lined stream channel, foundations of a 17th-century gristmill, two bridges , and three houses. The mill site is located just off Old Burlington Road, west of its crossing of Vine Brook. Just south of Old Burlington Road lies the mill pond and dam. The oldest of the three houses in the district is the Bacon-Gleason-Blodgett Homestead, built c. 1740 and home to several of the mill&#39;s owners. The other two houses, at 130 and 138 Old Burlington Road, were built around the turn of the 20th century, and are associated with the Hunt family, longtime landowners in the area.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Wilmington Centre Village Historic District encompasses the historic center of the town of Wilmington, Massachusetts. It stretches along Church and Middlesex Streets, from the town common in the southwest to the Old Burial Ground in the northeast. The area was established as a local civic center in the 1730s with the construction of a meeting house and the cemetery. The village center experienced some growth in the early decades of the 19th century due to the presence of a factory-style bakery, but it suffered from a lack of railroad connections in later years. The town common, which anchors the southern end of the district, was laid out in the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Lloyds Diner is a historic diner at 184A Fountain Street in Framingham, Massachusetts. Formerly Whits Diner in Orange, Massachusetts, it was moved its present location in 1990.

<p>The Gwinnett Historic Courthouse is an historic government building located at 185 West Crogan Street in Lawrenceville in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The original county courthouse burned in 1872. The present day Courthouse was built in 1885. It served as the center of county business for over a century. As the population of the county grew, the Courthouse could no longer handle all of the county&#39;s business. In 1988, Gwinnett County moved the majority of its operations into the new Justice and Administration Building located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. The old Courthouse underwent a lengthy three year renovation starting in 1989. It reopened on July 3, 1992, as the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. Today, it serves as a rental venue for weddings, concerts, conferences, and other special events. It is one of the parks maintained by the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation Department.</p><br>
<p>On September 18, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 1993, a statue commemorating the Confederate States was erected outside the courthouse with an inscription of "1861&ndash;1865 Lest We Forget". The statue stood until February 2021, when it was removed and placed in storage as part of the removal of Confederate monuments and memorials that occurred in the months following the George Floyd protests. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved the change, saying the monument was not consistent with the modern values of the county.</p><br>
<p>The Butts County Courthouse is an historic former government building designed by Bruce & Morgan and constructed in 1898 by J.H. McKenzie & Son in Jackson, Butts County, Georgia, United States.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980. In 2019, courthouse functions ceased in the building, and renovations began in order to re-open as the Economic Development and Tourism Center.</p><br>
<p>Its design seems to be a less elaborate version of the Monroe County Courthouse designed by Bruce & Morgan in 1896. It is High Victorian in style. The courthouse hosts a confederate monument.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Adams-Woodbury Locke House is an historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival house was built about 1840 for a Boston leather merchant and was one of the first residences of a commuter, rather than a farmer, in the Winter Hill neighborhood of the city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Adams House is located on the west side of Central Street, a short way south of Broadway, the major roadway that passes over Winter Hill. It is a -story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, with a front-facing gable roof and clapboard siding. The building has wide corner boards and a broad entablature, and the gable is fully pedimented. A single-story porch extends across the front, supported by Doric columns, with a balustrade above. The main entrance is in the right-most bay, flanked by sidelight windows. The interior has retained much of its original woodwork.</p><br>
<p>Built about 1840, the house is a fine local example of Greek Revival architecture. Its original parcel of land (now subdivided into residential plots), extended from Broadway to Medford Street. Charles Adams was a farmer, state legislator, and one of the first tenants of Boston&#39;s Quincy Market. Adams gave land for a schoolhouse on Broadway (now the site of the Winter Hill Congregational Church). Woodbury Locke, a later resident, was involved in the leather business in Boston.</p><br>
<p>The Adams-Magoun House is a historic house at 438 Broadway in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built about 1783, it is one of the city&#39;s few surviving 18th-century buildings and its best-preserved. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Adams-Magoun House stands on Winter Hill in central Somerville, roughly midway between Magoun Square and the Winter Hill commercial district. It is set facing east on the south side of Broadway, between Bartlett Street and Glenwood Road. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with its entrance at the center, framed by pilasters and topped by a half-round transom window and gabled pediment. The interior follows a typical center hall plan, and has retained a number of original features, including particularly ornate turned balusters on the main staircase.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Joseph Adams in 1783, and was the farmstead house for a farm of 71 acre. It is one of a handful of 18th-century houses in Somerville, and its main entry transom window is believed to be one of the oldest of its type in the Boston area. Adams was married to Sarah Tufts, whose extended family owned large tracts of land in the town, including the tracts which eventually became Tufts University. She was the daughter of Peter and Anne Tufts. Their daughter, Sarah Ann Adams, married John C. Magoun (1797–1882), for whom Magoun Square is named. Magoun was a local assessor, served on the school committee as an overseer of the poor, and was a captain in the militia. At the time of Adams&#39; marriage to Magoun, the farm extended from Broadway to the Boston and Maine Railroad, between Central and Lowell streets.</p><br>
<p>The Alexander Foster House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built c. 1860, it is one of the city&#39;s earliest examples of Italianate architecture, and one of its best-preserved. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alexander Foster House is located in Somerville&#39;s central Spring Hill neighborhood, at the northeast corner of Laurel and Greene Streets. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof section and a broad tower with a shallow-pitch hip roof to its left. The eaves of both roofs are extended, and supported by paired carved brackets. Building corners have paneled pilasters, and a single-story polygonal bay projects on the north side. The west-facing front facade is sheltered by a single-story porch, supported by round columns with bracketed tops, the brackets forming arched openings by meeting between the columns. Most windows are rectangular sash, framed by windows bracketed lintels and sills; the principal exception is a round-arch window located near the gable peak.</p><br>
<p>Laurel Street was platted in 1843, but development in the area did not begin until somewhat later. This house, built about 1860, was one of the first to be built there, and was soon followed by others. It was built for Alexander Foster, a local lumber dealer. Its layout is based on the Italian villa concept popularized by architect Andrew Jackson Downing in published pattern books. Many of the other period houses in the vicinity have been significantly altered or torn down; this one retains most of its original features.</p><br>
<p>The Amos Keyes House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. This -story wood-frame house was built c. 1860 by Amos Keyes, a produce dealer. It was originally located on Central Street, but was moved to this location c. 1870 when Keyes sought to build a larger house on the other site. This house exhibits both Greek Revival and Italianate features: the round arch window in the gable is a typical Italianate detail, but the side-hall three-bay layout of the house is Greek Revival, as is the Doric porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>

<p>The Bow Street Historic District encompasses a mixed 19th-century commercial-residential in the Union Square area of Somerville, Massachusetts. It covers a part of the west side of Union Square that saw significant development during the city&#39;s growth in the 19th century, and has remained well-preserved since then. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Somerville was first settled in 1630 and was part of Charlestown until 1842. From an early date, a track developed that skirted Prospect Hill to the north and a marshy area to the south, between the center of Charlestown and Menotomy, as what is now Arlington was then called. This route now consists of Washington Street, Bow Street, and Somerville Avenue. The Bow Street section, a bend in the road around a marshy area, was eventually bypassed when the marsh was filled in, but was before then a point of development along the road. It remained a significant area of development in the 19th century, as the Union Square area developed as the towns (and later citys) principal area of industry and commerce in the 19th century. The principal intersection of Union Square has been intensively redeveloped, but a portion of Bow Street has managed to retain its 19th-century character.</p><br>
<p>The historic district covers most of Bow Street, omitting only a few buildings at its eastern end.</p><br>
<p>The C. C. Crowell House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built about 1890, it is a good example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture built from a pattern book design. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The C. C. Crowell House is located in Somerville&#39;s central Spring Hill neighborhood, at the southeast corner of Benton Road and Hudson Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. The house is laid out in cross gable style, with a semicircular porch facing the street corner. The porch is decorated with turned posts, jigsaw struts, and a carved frieze. The upper levels are decorated with bands of cut shingles, and the extended eaves are decorated with modillions. There are two-story polygonal window bays projecting on both street-facing facades, with wood panels below the first floor windows, and decorative shingling between the floors.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1890; its first documented occupant was C. C. Crowell, a printer. The house bears some resemblance to the Lemuel Snow, Jr., House next door, whose massing and scale are similar. Both appear to have elements taken from pattern books, although those of this house are of a lighter character than those of its neighbor.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Lockhardt House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts, United States. Charles H. Lockhardt, a prosperous undertaker in Somerville, built this -story wood-frame Queen Anne style house in c. 1890.

<p>The Ptarmigan Tunnel was built in 1930 through the Ptarmigan Wall at an elevation of 7,200 ft in Glacier National Park, near Many Glacier, in Montana, US. The 250 ft manmade tunnel allows hikers to avoid a strenuous climb over very steep terrain between Many Glacier and the Belly River valley. Two opposing steel jackhammers drilling from either side of the tunnel and a series of ten-hole rounds of dynamite gradually broke through the mountain in less than three months.</p><br>
<p>A wide area, originally for guide and tourist horses, extends from each portal with a masonry retaining wall. Natural rock lines the interior walls. Heavy iron doors were hung across the tunnel adits during the summer of 1975. They remain open from mid-July until October 1, weather permitting. Designed by Ole Westman, this trail tunnel embodies exceptional qualities of landscape architecture and engineering in a pedestrian-scaled tunnel, cut through a sheer mountain wall.</p><br>
<p>The Walter Brewster House is located on Oak Street in Brewster, New York, United States. It was built in the Greek Revival style around 1850 by Brewster, who founded the village that today bears his name.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Currently it is owned and operated by the Landmarks Preservation Society of Southeast as an event venue and cultural center.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The two-story frame structure sits on a brick foundation atop a hill overlooking downtown Brewster to the rear. Four Ionic columns on each side support the portico, which juts out some distance from the house proper, the only such arrangement on a Greek Revival house in Putnam County. It has a dentiled cornice.</p><br>
<p>Currently, The Walter Brewster House serves as an event space for weddings, festivals, corporate parties, fundraisers, meetings and cultural events. The house has been carefully restored and with careful curation, the furnishings and artwork inside represent the Village of Brewster&#39;s rich history as well as Walter Brewster and John Gail Borden, important former residents of the house who brought industry and economic development to Brewster.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brewster, a descendant of the Plymouth Colony Brewsters, bought a farm along with his brother and settled in the area around the mid-19th century. The New York and Harlem Railroad was working its way north from New York City, and he not only built a depot, he laid out the village&#39;s Main Street and helped found its first hotel.</p><br>
<p>After numerous owners, who did not appreciate its historical importance, the building became the property of the Landmarks Preservation Society of Southeast in the 1970s. The society renovated it and made it a cultural center, hosting concerts and special events.</p><br>
<p>The Grand Loop Road is a historic district which encompasses the primary road system in Yellowstone National Park. Much of the 140 mi system was originally planned by Captain Hiram M. Chittenden of the US Army Corps of Engineers in the early days of the park, when it was under military administration. The Grand Loop Road provides access to the major features of the park, including the Upper, Midway and Lower geyser basins, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Fall, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone Lake.</p><br>
<p>A number of other historic districts adjoin the Grand Loop in Yellowstone, including Mammoth Hot Springs, North Entrance Road, Roosevelt Lodge, Lake Fish Hatchery and Old Faithful historic districts.</p><br>
<p>Grand Loop Rd. includes unsigned portions of US 20, US 89, US 191 and US 287, all of which traverse the park. The road was named by Harry W. Frantz in 1923, who served as the park&#39;s publicist before beginning a long career as a journalist.</p><br>
<h2>Route</h2><br>
<p>Beginning at the junction of the North Entrance Road and Grand Loop Rd. at Yellowstone National Park headquarters at Fort Yellowstone near Mammoth Hot Springs, the road travels south, passing through Golden Gate Canyon on a viaduct and ascending the Gallatin Range, crossing Kingman Pass near Bunsen Peak. From the pass, the road descends into the Gardner River valley. At the south end of the valley, the road passes Sheepeater Cliff, a prominent columnar basalt cliff. After crossing the Gardner River, the road follows Obsidian Creek into Obsidian Canyon, passing Obsidian Cliff about halfway through the canyon. From Obsidian Canyon, the road continues south into the Norris Valley and the Norris Geyser Basin. Here, the road meets the Gibbon River and follows it into the Gibbon Geyser Basin and Gibbon Canyon. Emerging from the canyon the Gibbon River merges with the Firehole River to form the Madison River. At this point—Madison Junction, the road junctions with West Entrance Road which follows the Madison River west out of the park and to West Yellowstone, Montana.</p><br>
<p>Grand Loop Rd. continues to follow the Firehole River south and east. In a relatively short distance, the road travels through the three most notable geyser basins in the park: Lower Geyser Basin, Midway Geyser Basin and Upper Geyser Basin. The Old Faithful Historic District is located on Grand Loop Rd. adjacent to the Upper Geyser Basin. Turning east from Old Faithful the road crosses the Continental Divide over Craig Pass, and descends to the West Thumb Geyser Basin on the shore of Yellowstone Lake. West Thumb is the southernmost point on Great Loop Rd. Here the road junctions with South Entrance Road which continues south to Grand Teton National Park.</p><br>
<p>Grand Loop Rd. continues north along the shore of Yellowstone Lake. Near the northern end of the lake it passes the Lake Hotel and the Lake Fish Hatchery Historic District. Just past the Lake Hotel area, the East Entrance Road turns right and crosses the Yellowstone River over Fishing Bridge and continues east to Cody, Wyoming. Grand Loop Rd. follows the western side of the Yellowstone River north into the Hayden Valley and past upper Yellowstone Falls near the mouth of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The road then crosses Dunraven Pass near Mount Washburn and descends to Tower Fall and Tower Junction where it intersects with the Northeast Entrance Road to Cooke City, Montana.</p><br>
<p>From Tower Junction, the road travels north and then west through the Gallatin Range to complete the loop at Mammoth Hot Springs.</p><br>

<p>The High Hampton Inn Historic District is a historic estate, resort, and national historic district nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina, in the Cashiers Valley in Jackson County, North Carolina. Originally the summer home of the prosperous Hampton family of South Carolina, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Wealthy planter Wade Hampton II purchased 450 acre in Cashiers Valley as an escape from the summer heat, humidity, and malaria of the Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina region. The property became a favorite hunting preserve for the Hampton family and their friends. Young Wade Hampton III learned to ride horses at High Hampton, a skill that served him well as a leading Confederate cavalry commander during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>In the 1880s, the property passed into the hands of Hampton II&#39;s three daughters. They sold it in 1890 to their niece Caroline Hampton and her new husband, Dr. William Halsted, a prominent surgeon. Halsted purchased several adjoining farms and pieces of property, eventually expanding his holdings to more than 2,200 acre. The Halsteds both died in 1922.</p><br>
<p>A North Carolina businessman, E. Lyndon McKee, and his wife, Gertrude, purchased the estate in 1922. After purchasing the property, the McKee&#39;s built a rustic two story Inn and added the famous 11 hole golf course designed by J. Victor East in 1924. Disaster struck High Hampton in 1932 when a fire broke out in the detached kitchen, burning the Inn, Hampton Hunting Lodge, and the Halsted Cottage to the ground. In 1933, the property was renovated and adapted as the present High Hampton Inn, which opened for business. Descendants of Lyndon and Gertrude McKee owned and operated the resort for 95 years ending with the sale of the property in 2017.</p><br>
<p>After 95 years, the Inn and Club now come under the ownership of the Birmingham-based Arlington Family Offices, working with seasoned management group Daniel Communities to operate High Hampton’s club amenities, including the newly-redesigned Thomas Fazio golf course. The Beall family, along with the leadership team from Blackberry Farm, have joined the High Hampton team in the revitalization of the historic inn and cottages into a year-round operation. Today, passionately committed families continue the storied traditions of High Hampton into the next 100 years. To continue representing these storied traditions, The High Hampton History Center was founded in 2019. The History Centers main focus is to provide tours, programs, and archive the vast collection of historic photos and artifacts from the property. The History Center is located in the Historic Caddie House (1924).</p><br>
<p>The High Hampton Inn Historic District encompasses 12 contributing buildings and 1 contributing site. They include the High Hampton Inn (1932-1933), a -story, L-shaped, gable-roofed Rustic style structure sheathed in chestnut bark siding. It was designed by locally prominent architect Erle Stillwell and features a one-story, hip roofed wraparound porch with an extended Porte-cochère. Other contributing resources include the Lake Cottage (1932), Hampton Cottage (1932), Halsted Cottage (1932), Chimney Top Cottage (c. 1932), Rock Mountain Cottage (1941), Mayapple Cottage (1932), Lodge Cottage (c. 1900 and 1925), Thorpe Cottage (1936), Wade Hampton Smokehouse (c. 1890), Supply Building (c. 1890 and 1927), and the Recreational Landscape (1922-1941).</p><br>

<p>The Caldwell County Courthouse Historic District is a historic district located in Lockhart, Texas, the seat of Caldwell County. The historic district encompasses 67 buildings on 250 acre across downtown Lockhart. One building included in the historic district, the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, was previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Courthouse</h2><br>
<p>The current Caldwell County Courthouse was built in 1893–1894. There is debate as to whether the design was by San Antonio architect Alfred Giles or Henri E. M. Guindon, who worked for Giles but not during the time the plans were sold to Caldwell County. The design is Second Empire-style architecture. The cornerstone was laid on August 15, 1893 and the county commissioners received the building on March 19, 1894. The walls are built of rusticated masonry and cream colored limestone and trimmed with red sandstone specified to be from Muldoon, Texas. In 1969 the building received air conditioning and had an elevator installed. Major restoration in 2000 brought the courthouse back to its historic appearance. The courthouse was rededicated in April 2000.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Shackelford County was established in 1858, and its county seat was placed at Albany, Texas, in 1874. A wood-frame courthouse was raised in 1875, and a county jail (now the Old Jail Art Center) was built alongside it in 1878. Sixteen lots with 25 ft frontages were platted on each side of the courthouse square, which became the center of the growing town. In 1881 Albany became a terminus of the Texas Central Railroad, after which people and businesses moved to the county seat from surrounding settlements.</p><br>
<p>Most of the structures built around the courthouse prior to the arrival of the railroad were wood-frame residences, but in the 1880s more commercial and civic structures went up around the square, the majority built of stone. A Presbyterian Church was raised in 1882. In 1883 one of the houses on the square was repurposed as Albany&#39;s first public school, and a two-story bank building raised that year later became City Hall. The first courthouse was torn down in 1883 and replaced by the current Shackelford County Courthouse in 1884. By the 1890s numerous shops, residences, and hotels had been erected on the lots around the square.</p><br>
<p>Since the early twentieth century, few alterations have been made to the structures in the courthouse district, with the youngest buildings dating to the 1920s. Individual buildings have been restored by their owners at various times, and business owners in the district have cooperated to encourage historic preservation. On July 30, 1976, the courthouse square and surrounding lots were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in recognition of the district&#39;s well-preserved Victorian frontier architecture. According to its nomination form, the district retains "the charm of the Northwest Texas Frontier".</p><br>

<p>The Renville County Courthouse and Jail is a historic building located at 500 East DePue Avenue in Olivia, Minnesota, United States; the seat of Renville County. It was constructed in 1902.</p><br>
<p>The first courthouse in Renville County was built in Beaver Falls in 1872. It was originally built as a jail, at a cost of $2000. In 1889 a 40 x wood-frame building was built, and the 1872 building was again used as the jail. In 1895 the city of Olivia won a battle to become the county seat, and court business was held in a local business building. A court decision returned the county seat to Beaver Falls for two years, but then Olivia finally won the county seat permanently in 1900. Architect Fremont D. Orff from Minneapolis designed the building, which was built at a cost of $88,000. The building has influences from a few different architectural styles. The corner pavilions and the central tower have segmented blue-green copper domes, suggesting Second Empire architecture. The center pavilion has a porch with balusters, fluted columns, and an oculus-pierced pediment, which reflects Georgian architecture.</p><br>
