<p>Maplewood Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Pleasant Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Established in 1864, the 15 acre cemetery is the city&#39;s eighth. It is laid out in a roughly rectilinear manner, departing from the popular rural cemetery movement, which preferred more picturesque but less space-efficient winding paths and roads. It is the location of a Civil War memorial, placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Marlborough Center Historic District is a historic district encompassing the civic and commercial heart of Marlborough, Massachusetts. It is centered on a stretch of Main Street between Mechanic Street to the west and Bolton Street  to the east, and includes properties on adjacent streets. The center is reflective of the city&#39;s prosperity as an industrial center from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Marlborough is located in far western Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the outer ring of Greater Boston fringed by Interstate 495. Its central business district is located along Main Street, roughly between Mechanic Street to the west and Bolton Street (Massachusetts State Route 85) to the east. This portion of Main Street was once designated as USA Highway Route 20, which now runs along a bypass just south of downtown. Marlborough was incorporated in 1660, and was a key stop on the main road between Boston and Springfield until the 20th century. Its original town center was north of Main Street between Prospect Street and Rawlins Avenue, where the district&#39;s oldest resources, the 1706 Old Common Cemetery, is located. The present business district arose in the 19th century with the advent of industrialization, growing along Main Street between that point and another small village at the junction with Bolton Street, a major north-south route in the area.</p><br>
<p>Most of the commercial buildings in the district are made of brick and stone, and were built in the late 19th or early 20th century. City Hall is a well-kept Beaux-Arts building designed by Allen, Collens & Berry, and built in 1905. Allen and Collens also designed the First National Bank building at 200 Main Street. There are four churches, and several stylish Queen Anne Victorian houses, notably that of Judge James MacDonald at 23 Prospect Street. It includes two previously-listed buildings: the Warren Block at 155 Main Street and the Temple Building at 149 Main.</p><br>
<p>The Pleasant Street Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district at 187—235 Pleasant Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. It is a cohesive collection of 8 residences and one school building that are representative of upper class housing on large well-proportioned lots. The oldest house in the district was built c. 1865, the newest c. 1924. A number of 19th century houses were restyled during the 1920s. The Immaculate Conception School was built in 1961, and does not contribute to the area&#39;s historic significance. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Pleasant Street area was developed as an upper-class residential area for leaders in Marlboroughs dominant shoe manufacturing industry. Members of the Howe and Frye families contributed several of the houses. Louis Howe, who began manufacturing shoes in 1850, built a substantial Second Empire house at 207 Pleasant c. 1865, which was updated to the Colonial Revival by his nephew in the 1920s. Louis Howes cousin Franklin built 207 Pleasant c. 1872; it was a companion Second Empire house, which was given Georgian Revival styling in 1927 by John Frye, who grew up next door.</p><br>
<p>Three other houses were built in the 19th century, all with Queen Anne styling. The Russell House at 208 Pleasant was built c. 1885, and has a wraparound porch and bargeboard decoration in its gables. This house, like several of the others in the district, has been converted to multi-unit housing. The Walter Frye House at 187 Pleasant was built c. 1895, and has characteristic Queen Anne features, with numerous projections and gables, as well as a wraparound porch with octagonal pavilion and porte cochere. The Frye-Hazelton House at 223 Pleasant was also built c. 1895, and features a prominent octagonal tower.</p><br>
<p>Robin Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Donald Lynch Boulevard in Marlborough, Massachusetts, overlooking the Assabet River. It is at about 1 acre the community&#39;s second smallest burial ground, and it had  24 markers denoting 27 burials. It is located on the south side of Donald Lynch Boulevard in a commercial office park, with the interchange between Interstates 495 and 290 to its south and east. Part of the property is taken up by Robin Hill a rise of about 30 ft that is mostly covered with pine trees, and has relatively few burials. The rest of the property is relatively flat, and has been divided into family plots measuring about 20 x. It has a receiving tomb that probably dates to the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>When established in the early 19th century, Robin Hill cemetery was located in a relatively rural agricultural area. Its burials include several military veterans, include those from the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, and World War II. Although the cemetery is still in active use, most of the marked graves date to the third quarter of the nineteenth century. The markers speak towards the high frequency of childhood death, as demonstrated by the dual markers for the two sons of Levi and Lucinda Rice, aged four and six, who both died on the same day in December 1817, while also demonstrating for families longevity, such as Ananias Cooke, who died in 1851 at the age of 91.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Rocklawn Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Stevens Street in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Established in 1813 as Chipman Cemetery, it was Marlborough&#39;s fifth cemetery. The Rocklawn section of the cemetery was added in 1855, giving the cemetery its present name. This section was laid out in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style, in contrast to the older section, which is laid out in a grid. The cemetery served as a major burying ground for the city from the mid-19th century into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>

It is organized around 34 family plots, only two of which post-date 1934. More than 100 people are buried there, including in unmarked graves. It is bounded by a typical New England fieldstone wall that probably dates to early in the cemetery&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Wilson Cemetery is a historic cemetery at Wilson Street on Marlborough, Massachusetts. The cemetery is a 1.22 acre parcel that is usually accessed via the adjacent Evergreen Cemetery. Wilson Cemetery was established in 1764, and contains marked graves dating between 1764 and 2000. Most of the burials date to the 19th century. The older portion of the cemetery is to the north, where graves are arrayed in rough north–south rows. A central pathway separates this section from the southern portion, which is laid out in a more formal rectilinear grid. The most prominent burial is the tomb of Robert Eames, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Westford Town Farm is a historic poor farm in Westford, Massachusetts. Its main building is a story brick building, five bays wide and six deep, that was built in 1837. It was twice enlarged, in c. 1840 and c. 1900. The enlargement consists of a wood-frame addition on the north side of the building; the 1900 addition was built to replace that from 1840, and stands on its foundation. It served as the focal point for the town&#39;s support of its indigent population until 1959, a later date than many similar facilities statewide remained open. Since its closing it has continued to house town facilities, including as police and fire stations, and most recently as school administrative offices.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Westford Center Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Westford, Massachusetts. It is centered on a stretch of Main Street between Graniteville and Leland Roads, extending away from this strip on a number of side streets. The area has been the town center since settlement of the town began in the 1720s. Prominent in the district are the Westford Academy building and the First Parish Church, two fine Federal style structures built in 1794, and the Italianate town hall, built in 1871.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The West Schoolhouse is a historic school building in Wilmington, Massachusetts. It is the best-preserved of Wilmington&#39;s remaining one-room schoolhouses. This single-story wood-frame building was probably  built in the 1860s or 1870s, although its resemblance in form to the c. 1840s Old Centre Schoolhouse suggests a possible earlier construction date and subsequent remodeling. It has simple Greek Revival styling with rope molding on the corner boards, and transom windows over the pair of entry doors.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The West School is a historic school building at 106 Bedford Street in Burlington, Massachusetts. The one-room schoolhouse was built in 1794–5, when the area was still part of Woburn. The building was originally located in what is now Simonds Park in the center of Burlington, but was moved to its present location in 1839 to serve as the school for the western part of town. It served as a public school at 1897. After serving for a time as a garage, the building was rehabilitated by the local historical society in 1964. Of four Woburn-built 18th century school buildings in Burlington, this is the only one to survive. The building is a well-preserved example of Federal and Greek Revival styling.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Wellington Farm Historic District encompasses a historic farm property at 487—500 Wellesley Street in Weston, Massachusetts. Included in the 35 acre district are a main house built c. 1760, a barn complex with buildings dating from the 19th and 20th centuries, a modern greenhouse, and farm fields lined by stone walls. It is historically significant for its well-preserved buildings, and for its later transformation into a summer estate. It is also one of the town&#39;s few remaining working farms. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wellington Farm is set on 35 acre in rural-residential southern Weston. The property is roughly bisected by Wellesley Street, just south of the Massachusetts Turnpike, and is roughly bounded on the south by Glen Road. Open fields line the road, with two separate farmstead complexes on either side. The one to the east has a farmhouse built about 1760, with later modifications around 1800 and 1900, while that on the west side has an early 20th-century house with more modern outbuildings for the farm operations.</p><br>
<p>Part of this property was first recorded in 1770, when the house on the east side was already standing. By the turn of the 20th century, it had grown to over 100 acre, and extended as far west as Winter Street.</p><br>
<p>The Wayland Center Historic District encompasses the predominantly 19th-century village center of Wayland, Massachusetts. Located at the junction of United States Route 20 and Cochituate Road , it includes fifteen well-preserved 19th-century buildings that form one of the best-preserved village centers of that period near Boston. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Wayland was settled in the 17th century as part of Sudbury, and was incorporated as East Sudbury in 1780, and renamed Wayland in 1835. The present village center took shape beginning in 1814-15, when after much controversy, it was chosen as the site of the new town meetinghouse, replacing the town&#39;s 1726 meetinghouse. That new building still stands today, forming the visual centerpiece of the center at the southeast corner of the junction of Routes 20 and 27. Material from the 1726 building was recycled for construction of a new town hall, which was converted into a residence in 1888. Both of these buildings are fine Federal period structures; the church bell was provided by the firm of Paul Revere. The present town hall, located across the street from the 1815 one, is a Georgian Revival building constructed in 1957 on the site of the 1887 town hall; it is the only 20th-century structure in the district.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered at the junction of Routes 20 and 27, and extends north and south along Route 27 (Cochituate Road). It includes sixteen buildings, which are a mix of residential and civic buildings, and include two 19th-century barns. Most of these buildings are one or two stories in height, and of wood-frame construction; the current town hall is the only non-wood building. Most of them were built before 1850, and are either Federal or Greek Revival in style. The most notable exceptions are the 1881 train station, which helped transform Wayland into a commuter suburb of Boston, and the 1897 former post office building, which is Colonial Revival in style.</p><br>
<p>Old Watertown High School is a historic school building at 341 Mount Auburn Street in Watertown, Massachusetts, United States. The story brick building was built in 1913 by local architect Charles Brigham. Now an assisted living facility named Brigham House, the English Revival structure is one of Watertowns most imposing public buildings, standing about one mile east of Watertown center. When built it first served as the citys high school, but was converted to a junior high school in 1925, a role it served until the late 1980s. It then stood vacant until its conversion to housing in the 2000s.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Cannon County Courthouse located at Court Square in Woodbury, Tennessee, is an historic building and the center of county government in Cannon County.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1935 to replace the county&#39;s 1838 courthouse, which burned in 1934. The courthouse is built in the Colonial Revival style. The architect was George Waller of Nashville.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1992.</p><br>

Windows are topped by granite lintels, and the cornice has a line of brick dentil work.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, misspelled as "Waitt".</p><br>
<p>The Walcott-Whitney House is a historic late First Period house in Stow, Massachusetts. It is a -story timber-frame house, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, clapboard siding, and a large central chimney. A leanto extends to the rear, giving it a saltbox profile. The front facade is asymmetrical, with a roughly centered entrance that has a Federal period surround of sidelights, pilasters, and entablature with cornice. The house was built c. 1720–30, and is a well-preserved example of the period. It is particularly noted for its well-preserved front staircase.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District is located in Lincoln, Illinois in Logan County. The district is roughly bounded by Sangamon, Pekin, Chicago, Delavan, Broadway, and Pulaski Streets. The district includes 112 buildings, 89 of which are contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Logan County Courthouse and the surrounding courthouse square are included in the district, and much of the surrounding business district was built around the courthouse. The courthouse was built in 1854, the year after Lincoln was platted. Other government buildings in the district include the Lincoln city hall, the public library, and the post office.</p><br>
<p>The early commercial buildings in the district are mainly brick Italianate structures. After 1900, buildings in a number of other styles were added to the district. The Scully Building is one of the more significant commercial buildings in the district; the Richardsonian Romanesque building served as the headquarters of Scully Estate Holdings, a major real estate company dealing in farmland.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 24, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Phineas Upham House is a historic house at 255 Upham Street in Melrose, Massachusetts. Built in the early 18th century, it is a well preserved example of First Period architecture. Owned by a family association, it is only occasionally open to the public. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Phineas Upham house is located in what is now a residential area east of downtown Melrose, on the south side of Upham Street opposite its junction with Lincoln Street. It is a -story timber-frame house, three bays wide and two deep, with an off-center entrance and a centered chimney. Its window arrangement is irregular, with different sizes and shapes now filled with replacement diamond-paned casements. It probably began as a simple two-bay house, left of the chimney and was extended later in the 18th century with the addition of the third bay to the chimney&#39;s right. The rear of the house was also originally a single story (giving the house a saltbox appearance), but the roof was raised to a full two stories in the late 18th or early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s construction date is claimed by some local historians to be c. 1703, not long after Phineas Upham arrived in the area that is now Melrose. However, architectural and other historical evidence suggests that it was actually built by Phineas Upham for his son Amos, and would thus date to the late 1730s instead. The house remained in Upham family hands until the early 20th century. Its last occupant moved out in 1907, and in 1913 it was purchased by the Melrose Historical Society and restored. The Upham Family Association assumed ownership of the property in 1940, and now open it to the public two days each year.</p><br>
<p>The Col. Jonathan Tyng House was a historic house on Tyng Road in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this gambrel-roofed wood-frame house was built c. 1675 by Colonel Jonathan Tyng, the son of Edward Tyng for whom Tyngsborough is named. The house had a number of pre-Georgian features, including portholes under the eaves, through which muskets could be fired at attackers, and brick lining in the walls. The upper level also had quarters that were used by the Tyngs to house slaves. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977; It was destroyed by fire on August 11, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Whitley County Courthouse is an historic courthouse building located at Van Buren and Main Streets in Columbia City, Indiana, the seat of Whitley County. It was constructed in 1888, and is a three-story, cruciform plan, French Renaissance style Indiana limestone building designed by Brentwood S. Tolan. It has a slate roof and galvanized iron central dome.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A variety of prominent art works stand out on the Courthouse. Heads in Relief is a collection of limestone animal and figurative heads that are carved in a relief above the courthouse doors. Sculpted by Giere, the center features the image of a woman, possibly Liberty (22 x 16 x 18) wearing an elaborate headdress. To her proper right is a goose-like bird with its beak open and to the proper left is a wolf-like animal also with an open mouth. These pieces were examined as part of the Smithsonian&#39;s Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1993 and their condition was described as "undetermined."</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Train House is a historic house in Weston, Massachusetts. Built about 1738, it is a good example of a mid-18th century colonial house. It was home to successive generations of Samuel Trains, who were all active in local politics and the state militia. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is used as office space for the Rivers School, whose main campus is located across the street.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Samuel Train House is located in southern Weston, on the south side of Winter Street at its junction with Bogle Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, four bays wide, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. The chimney has six fireplaces, a bake oven, and a distinctive smoke chamber that is oriented to the front, placed where houses of this period normally have a winding staircase.</p><br>
<p>The land on which this house stands was purchased by one of three consecutive John Trains in c. 1662. In 1735 Samuel Train, son of the third John Train, purchased 60 acre from his father, and built this house three years later. Samuel was the first of three consecutive Samuels to occupy the house. All three served in the local militia: the first during the French and Indian War, the second in the American Revolutionary War (where he saw action at the Battles of Lexington and Concord), and the third in the War of 1812. The latter two were also instrumental in the establishment of the First Baptist Church of Weston. Samuel I was a town selectman, and Samuel III was a minister and state legislator. Later owners used the house as a milk house for their dairy operation.</p><br>
<p>The Deluxe Town Diner is a historic diner in Watertown, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>This diner was manufactured on site, rather than having been prefabricated and shipped to the site from a specific diner manufacturer. In 1947, George Contos and his father built this diner around their earlier Worcester Lunch Car Company diner. The Worcester diner became the kitchen in the current building. The Town Diner&#39;s two-tone porcelain siding and its round glass-block corners combine architectural features of the Worcester and Paramount Diner manufacturers, respectively.</p><br>
<p>The diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as "Town Diner".</p><br>
<p>The Tenney Homestead is a historic First Period house in Stow, Massachusetts. This 2-1/2 story timber frame house dates to the first quarter of the 18th century, and has two distinctive characteristics. The first, its large central chimney, which is stone at its lower levels and brick from the attic up, is one of only a small number of surviving period houses in Middlesex County to use stone. The second is a section of horizontal sheathing that shows evidence of the application of paint by a sponge. The house was associated with the Tenney family from its construction into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Sudbury Dam Historic District is a historic district on the southeastern end of Sudbury Reservoir off Massachusetts Route 30 in Framingham and Southborough, Massachusetts. The district encompasses the Sudbury Dam , which impounds the reservoir, and an area encompassing several historic structures located below the dam. The area includes water-supply-related structures from three phases of development of the Greater Boston water supply system. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Sudbury Dam was built in 1894 to impound the Stony Brook branch of the Sudbury River. It has a large earthen embankment 1,800 ft in length, and a concrete core wall with a spillway 300 ft wide. There is a gate chamber, designed by Wheelwright & Haven, located on the dam north of the spillway. At first it regulated the flow out the channel toward Framingham Reservoir No. 3, but it was modified in 1907 to control flow to the Weston Aqueduct as well, and again in 1916–17 for the provision of hydroelectric power. The facility was used for power generation until the 1970s, when the generation equipment was removed.</p><br>
<p>A storehouse, located just northeast of the dam, was built in 1900 to house wooden stop planks used to regulate flow. This building was converted to house electrical equipment when the hydroelectric facility was built. Below the dam, to the northeast of the channel to Framingham Reservoir No. 3, is the head house for the Weston Aqueduct. Built in 1903, it was designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge to harmonize with the existing gate house. Adjacent to this head house is the head house for Shaft #4 of the Hultman Aqueduct, built 1939–40. The Hultman Aqueduct is a high-pressure underground aqueduct carrying water from Wachusett Reservoir to staging facilities closer to Boston, acting as a secondary system since 2003 to the MetroWest Water Supply Tunnel. This head house, also designed to harmonize with the previous buildings, was designed by Densmore, LeClear & Robbins, who also designed similar structures for the systems of the Quabbin Reservoir. There are also two modern buildings on the site (built in the 1970s) that are not architecturally sympathetic to the others, and a small cluster of 19th century farm buildings that were moved when the dam was built.</p><br>
<p>There are two bridges in the district. The older of the two carries Massachusetts Route 30 over the open channel below the dam, and was built in 1898. It is a concrete twin-arch bridge, faced in granite. The second bridge, a single-arch span made of similar materials, carries an access road over the open channel to the Weston Aqueduct head house, and was built in 1902–03.</p><br>
<p>The Sudbury Center Historic District is a historic district on Concord and Old Sudbury Roads in Sudbury, Massachusetts. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Town of Sudbury lists among historically significant buildings in the area the Loring Parsonage (c. 1730) and the First Parish Meetinghouse (1797), as well as several 19th century buildings and the Revolutionary Cemetery. The Hosmer House (1793), standing at the corner of Concord and Old Sudbury Roads is a typical residence of the early 19th century. It includes representations of Mid 19th Century Revival, Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals, and Federal architecture styles.</p><br>
<p>On April 19, 1775, the town&#39;s Minutemen mustered at First Parish, known at the time as the West Side meetinghouse. The company, led by Captain John Nixon, fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord.</p><br>
<p>The Hampton–Preston House located at 1615 Blanding Street in Columbia, South Carolina, is a historic mansion that was the home of members of the prominent Hampton family. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1969.</p><br>
<p>Ainsley Hall, a wealthy Columbia merchant, had the house constructed in 1818. It was purchased a few years later by former War of 1812 general Wade Hampton I, a wealthy cotton planter. In turn, his son Wade Hampton II and grandson Wade Hampton III also resided in the home at various times, although ownership passed after Hampton I&#39;s death to his daughter Caroline and her husband, State Senator John S. Preston.</p><br>
<p>During the latter part of the American Civil War, the house was used as the headquarters of Union Maj. Gen. John A. Logan during the occupation of Columbia. The South Carolina Presbyterian Institute for Young Ladies acquired the mansion in 1890.</p><br>
<p>The house is of a post-Colonial, Classical Revival style, having a broad veranda across the front with Doric columns and a fanlight above. Inside is a sweeping circular stairway with mahogany rails. A crystal chandelier hangs in the middle of the hall. The rooms are spacious, and one is adorned with a white marble mantel by the sculptor Hiram Powers. The gardens covered a city block and were known throughout the state, but they have been plowed under and felled, eventually becoming a parking lot.</p><br>
<p>The Hampton–Preston House was restored and reopened to the public in 1970 as a museum that epitomizes the lives of the planter elite in antebellum South Carolina, and is operated by the Historic Columbia Foundation. It is located in the Columbia Historic District II.</p><br>

<p>The Manning Manse is a historic house at 56 Chelmsford Road in North Billerica, Massachusetts. Built about 1696, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Billerica. It has further associations with local and nationally prominent members of the Manning family, and is a significant early example of historic preservation in the United States. Since the mid-20th century it has typically housed a restaurant, under lease from a family association. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Manning Manse stands in an isolated setting of northern Billerica, on the south side of Chelmsford Road (Massachusetts Route 129) east of Executive Park Drive. It is set on about 4 acre of land, which is surrounded on three sides by Warren H. Manning State Forest. The building now consists of three sections, organized in an L shape. The eastern part of the L is the original main house, to which modern additions have been made to the west. The main house is oriented facing south (away from the street). It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The roof on the north side extends down to the first floor, giving the building a saltbox profile.</p><br>
<p>The area that is now Billerica was first settled in the 1640s, but the area west of the Concord River was not settled until after 1690. It is believed that this house, built about 1696 by Samuel Manning, was the first to be built there. It is one of only two 17th-century buildings standing in the town. Between 1752 and 1800 the Manning family operated a tavern out of the leanto portion of the house. It was occupied in the later years of the 18th century by the family of William Manning, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who wrote the anti-Federalist The Key of Liberty in 1798. Manning&#39;s children occupied the house until the last died in 1880, after which a trusteeship was established to oversee the property.</p><br>
<p>It fell into decay until the 1890s, when Warren H. Manning spearheaded family efforts to restore the property. A landscape architect trained in the office of Frederick Law Olmsted, Manning purchased not just the house, but the surrounding lands that formed the basis of Manning State Forest. Manning conducted a carefully documented restoration of the house in 1899, and made it his summer home. A family association was eventually formed to take over the property, which has since leased it to a variety of restaurant operators. The building was extensively damaged by fire in 1994, but was again restored.</p><br>
<p>The Melrose Public Library is a historic library at 69 W. Emerson Street in Melrose, Massachusetts. The original T-shaped building was built in 1904, and is a two-story Colonial Revival structure faced in brick with limestone trim. It was built with funds contributed by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to a design by Lynn architect Penn Varney, and features stained glass windows by Wilbur H. Burnham. A modern single story addition was added in 1963 to the rear and left side of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Library is a member of the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE) consortium.</p><br>

<p>The Middlesex Fells Reservation Parkways are the roadways within and bordering on the Middlesex Fells Reservation, a state park in the northern suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The park includes portions of the towns of Malden, Medford, Melrose, Stoneham, and Winchester. The roads inside the park and around its perimeter have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other portions of some of the roads are covered by more than one listing in the national register; see Fellsway Connector Parkways and Middlesex Fells Reservoirs Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Middlesex Fells Reservation is one of the oldest and largest of the parks in the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston. The reservation was created in 1894 with a gift of 450 hectare of land from The Trustees of Reservations to the Metropolitan Parks Commission, predecessor organization to the Metropolitan District Commission and today&#39;s Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). By 1897 the park had been expanded to some 3,000 acre. This area included some existing roadways, which became internal roadways of the park. The border roads that surround the park followed a principle articulated by landscape designer Charles Eliot, who was instrumental in the preservation of the Fells, that such roads clearly delineated the bounds of the park, and provided its neighbors with pleasing views.</p><br>
<h2>Border parkways</h2><br>
<p>The parkways are described here in clockwise order, beginning in the south. These roads are generally two-lane paved roads, about 30 ft wide, and in some cases briefly pass through portions of the reservation.</p><br>
<h3>South Border Road</h3><br>
<p>South Border Road runs from Roosevelt Circle, a major interchange including Interstate 93 and Fellsway West (Massachusetts Route 28) in Medford, along the southwestern border of the reservation, northwest into Winchester, where it ends at a junction that includes Highland Avenue, a noncontributing road that borders the reservation on the west, and the Mystic Valley Parkway, a parkway that joins the reservation to the DCR lands of the Mystic River Reservation. There are small, mostly unpaved, parking areas on the reservation side of the road providing access to trails. There is a small dead-end spur of the road that resulted from the construction of I-93, and there is a roughly 1 mi section which runs inside the reservation as a result of land acquisitions south of the road.</p><br>
<h3>Hillcrest Parkway</h3><br>
<p>Hillcrest Parkway is a U-shaped road, both of whose ends are on Highland Avenue in Winchester. The parkway is, at 4,000 ft, one of the shorter parkways in the system. The west side of the parkway (the inside of the U) consists of residential properties, most of which were developed in the early 20th century; the reservation is to the east. This roadway, which does not generally carry through traffic, is only 24 ft wide and is unstriped. There is a scenic view of the North Reservoir near its northern end. The Near this point there was formerly a junction with a North Border Road, which has been fragmented and rerouted in part by the construction of I-93 and partially converted to hiking trails, and is not considered part of the National Register listing.</p><br>
<h3>South Street and Pond Street</h3><br>
<p>South Street runs from Main Street in Stoneham, at its junction with a newer section of North Border Road, for about 0.25 mi east-southeast to a point where it merges into Pond Street. There is a grassy area, including a parking area, that provides fine views of Spot Pond, along this stretch of road. A non-park portion of Pond Street extends north toward the center of Stoneham, while the parkway section extends south into the interior of the park, flanking the eastern shore of Spot Pond. At its junction with Woodland Road it runs eastward to a junction with Fellsway East and the Lynn Fells Parkway, the latter a connecting parkway joining the Fells to the Breakheart Reservation. The section along the pond is four lanes wide, with opposing travel lanes separated by a wide grassy median.</p><br>
<h3>Fellsway East</h3><br>
<p>The northernmost section of Fellsway East runs either within or on the border of the Fells. From the junction with Pond Street in Stoneham, it runs south, forming a small miter (triangular) junction with Ravine Road, before passing, shortly afterward entering Melrose. After it passes Washington Street, a municipal road heading southeast, it passes through a heavily wooded section of the park before reaching its junction with the East Border Road in Malden. The roadway continues south from this junction as a connecting parkway.</p><br>
<h3>East Border Road</h3><br>
<p>East Border Road runs west from its junction with Summer Street, a Malden municipal street, through the intersection with Fellsway East, along the heavily wooded southern flank of the park, to a junction with Highland Avenue, a municipal street in Medford. A short stretch of Highland runs north along the park border to a circular intersection with Woodland Road and Elm Street; this stretch of Highland is not part of the National Register listing.</p><br>
<h3>Elm Street</h3><br>
<p>Elm Street continues to follow the southern flank of the park westward from the junction with Woodland Road and East Border Road, running west to a junction with Fellsway West. There is a parking area, with access to Wright&#39;s Pond, on this stretch of road.</p><br>
<h3>Fellsway West</h3><br>
<p>Fellsway West is partly a border parkway and partly internal; the border section of the parkway connects Elm Street to Roosevelt Circle. North of this junction only about 2,000 ft of roadway are part of the original parkway design, having been extensively altered by the construction of I-93 along the same corridor. The internal section provides access to some centrally located reservation resources; the historic border section now consists of a one-way stretch of road that runs from the northeast side of Roosevelt Circle, while a modern one-way section runs south from the Elm Street junction, over I-93, to join Roosevelt Circle at the northwest, near the junction with South Border Road.</p><br>
<h2>Interior parkways</h2><br>
<p>The interior parkways (excluding portions of the border roads that run through parts of the reservation) are described roughly from east to west.</p><br>
<h3>Ravine Road</h3><br>
<p>Ravine Road is a relatively short (3,000 ft) roadway connecting Woodland Road in the west to Fellsway East. The roadway is only 28 ft wide, and is heavily forested on both sides. The ravine for which it is named contains Spot Pond Brook, and lies just to the north, but is not visible from the roadway.</p><br>
<h3>Woodland Road</h3><br>
<p>Woodland Road is one of the two major north–south parkways through the reservation. It is a four-lane roadway with a grassy median for most of its length, running south from South Street in Stoneham to a junction with Elm Street and Highland Avenue in Medford. Its major intersections are designed as small rotaries, and it provides access to the Spot Pond area, the visitor center at the John Bottume House, and the Metropolitan District Commission Pumping House.</p><br>
<h3>Fellsway West</h3><br>
<p>The interior reservation parkway portion of Fellsway West runs north from the junction with Elm Street in Medford to a junction with North Border Road and South Street in Stoneham. Because it has been significantly altered by the construction of adjacent I-93, most of this portion of parkway is not included in the National Register listing. The parkway provides access to the most centrally-located parking area of the reservation, the Lower Sheepfold lot.</p><br>

<p>The Natick Center Historic District is a historic district on North Ave., Main, Central, and Summer Streets in Natick, Massachusetts, encompassing the 19th century civic and economic heart of the town. Natick&#39;s early colonial center, dating to 1651, was in South Natick, and the area that is now its center was a parcel of land set aside for the minister. It achieved significant prominence with the construction of a meeting house in 1799, and the land was sold off for development in 1812. The Boston and Worcester Railroad was extended through the town center in 1835, spurring economic growth. After a fire in 1874 destroyed most of the central business district, the present collection of brick Gothic and Romanesque buildings was constructed.</p><br>
