It is bounded on the north by Eli-Wil Farm Road, and on the south by Mitchell Grant Lane, and includes houses numbered 229-301 Old Billerica Road. The area represents a cross-section of residential housing in Bedford, encompassing its agrarian origins and its development through the 19th century to a suburban community in the 20th. The district also has a well-preserved series of fieldstone walls, lining both the roads and some of the property boundaries.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Odd Fellows Building is a historic commercial building in Malden, Massachusetts. The four story steel and masonry building was built in 1907 to a design by Louis C. Newhall for the local chapter of the International Order of Odd Fellows . The building is faced in buff brick, and is predominantly Renaissance Revival in character. The first floor consists of storefronts, while the upper floors housed IOOF facilities, including a large meeting space. The upper levels are of particular architectural interest: the third level has groups of three arched windows separated by pillars, and the fourth has paired round-arch windows within recessed round-arch panels. The roof line is also ornate, with brackets and a dentil course.</p><br>
<p>Architect Newhall, a Malden resident, was senior partner in the Boston architecture firm of Newhall & Blevins. Among other projects, this firm was also responsible for the design of the Boston City Club.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Old Town Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge in Wayland, Massachusetts. It is located just north of Old Sudbury Road, and is sited across what was formerly a channel of the Sudbury River, which now flows just west and north of the bridge. The four-arch bridge was built in 1848 by Josiah Russell on a site where it is supposed that the first bridge in Middlesex County was built in the 1640s. It was for many years on the major east–west route connecting Boston to points west and south. Originally built of dry-laid stone, the bridge was rebuilt with mortar after being damaged by flooding in 1900. It is 60 ft long and has a roadbed 20 ft wide, with each arch spanning about 10 ft. The bridge was open to vehicular traffic until 1955.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Old Town Hall is a historic town hall building at 10 Kendal Road in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. The wood-frame building was built in 1834 as a church to house the local Baptist congregation, a role it served until 1857, when it was sold to the town. The styling of the building is predominantly Federal, although its cupola is a late 19th-century Colonial Revival addition. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>After suffering a termite infestation in the 1990s(?), the town hall and the nearby Littlefield Library were closed. Their functions were moved to a new civic building away from the center. In 2012, the building underwent a $2.5 million renovation using Community Preservation Funds. The project concluded in December, 2013 and was reopened to the public in January 2014. It is primarily used for civic events and Special Hearings.</p><br>
<p>The Christopher Page House is a historic First Period house in Bedford, Massachusetts. The story timber-frame house was built c. 1730, exhibiting construction techniques that are transitional between First Period and Georgian practice. The main block is five bays wide with a large central chimney, and an added leanto section. A leanto dormer was added in the late 19th century, as was the Colonial Revival front porch. The interior and exterior both received stylistic treatment during the Federal period.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Page House is a historic colonial First Period house in Bedford, Massachusetts. It was originally thought to date from 1687, but an investigation conducted by the "This Old House" television program placed the actual date of construction at about 1720. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a central chimney. A single-story ell extends to the left side of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Harrington House is a historic First Period house in Weston, Massachusetts, USA. With its oldest portion dating to about 1710, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Harrington House stands in a rural-residential area of southwestern Weston, on the northwest side of Wellesley Street north of its junction with Sylvan Lane. The original main block is stories in height and four bays wide, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. To this, a two-bay section was added to the east. The two sections are clearly different structures, with differing framing details, and floorboards in their garret spaces oriented differently. Ells further expand the house to the side and rear. The interior is largely reflective of an early 19th-century remodeling effort, in which the original central chimney was replaced by two interior chimneys, and a central stair was added.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands was part of a grant of more than 600 acre to Robert Harrington in 1634. The oldest portion of the main block, apparently its eastern two thirds, was built about 1710 by Benjamin Harrington, Jr. The property remained in the hands of his descendants until 1906. The house is unusual as a well-preserved example of two houses that were joined, estimated to have been done c. 1800, around the same period as the interior restyling.</p><br>
<p>The Wilbur Fiske Haven House is a historic house at 339 Pleasant Street in Malden, Massachusetts. Built in the 1860s, this Second Empire house is a remnant survivor of a series of fashionable mid-19th century Victorian houses, known as "Doctor&#39;s Row". The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It is now used for professional offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Haven House is set on the north side of Pleasant Street, just west of the Malden Center MBTA station. Its historic position was at the head of a series of similar houses along Pleasant Street, which is now lined mainly with commercial buildings. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, topped with a slate mansard roof and resting on a granite foundation. The roof is pierced in several places by round-arch dormers, including a doubled one above the main entrance. The walls are finished in flushboard, with quoined corners. The front facade is three bays wide, with the central bay covered by a projecting glassed-in porch two stories in height. The flanking bays each have a projecting bay window on the first floor. Roof lines of the main roof, porch, and bays are dentillated and studded with brackets. An addition to the building, made during its 1989 restoration, was done in a stylistically sensitive way.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Wilbur Fiske Haven, a Boston hardware merchant, during a period of growth in Malden center occasioned by the arrival of the railroad. A later resident was William Ferguson, a railroad contractor who laid miles of track in Malden and adjacent towns. In the early 1900s a large number of doctors lived in the area, including in this house, leading the neighborhood to be dubbed "Doctor&#39;s Row". The house was repurposes as a funeral home in 1929, and has most recently housed professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Womens City Club is a womens club located at 2110 Park Avenue in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Park Avenue Historic District. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Womens organizations became increasingly influential in the years after the American Civil War as a class of highly educated, middle class women arose in the nation. Their impact was at its peak in the years around World War I, when the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing womens suffrage, was ratified. In Detroit, it became apparent at that time that the many womens organizations in the city needed a centralized place to meet. In 1919, a number of local activists founded the "Womens City Club" to "promote a broad acquaintance among women." The club hired architect William B. Stratton (husband of ceramicist and club member Mary Chase Perry Stratton) to design a suitable building; the structure was completed in 1924.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of the building is built of brick, in a featureless modern style. The six stories are differentiated into the lower three floors, which are blocky and regular; and the three upper floors, which appear to be set onto the lower floors. The brick color differs between the two sections, as does the appearance of the windows. There is also a horizontal range of bricks between the two sections. The lower floors were designed to be meeting spaces for social events and planning the activities of members. The three upper floors were used as an apartments for women who moved to Detroit for employment and wished to live in a wholesome environment.</p><br>
<p>The interior decor was strongly influenced by the then-current Arts and Crafts movement, with hand-wrought ironwork and Pewabic Pottery tilework. The swimming pool was also decorated with Pewabic tile.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>The City Club offered a number of classes and recreation programs for women, eventually enrolling over 8,000 members. Forbes then sold the building an entity tied to Eric Larson and his development company, Larson Realty Group, who then sold it to an entity tied to Ilitch-owned Olympia Entertainment in 2017 for $5.85 million. Olympia Entertainment then announced the building would be renovated as part of the new Olympia development, the "District Detroit".</p><br>
<p>The Henry Higginson House is a historic house located at 44 Baker Farm Road in Lincoln, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The three-story Tudor Revival mansion was designed by Julian Ingersoll Chamberlain and built in 1905-06 for Alexander Henry Higginson. It was paid for by Higginsons father, Henry Lee Higginson. It was part of a much larger gentlemans estate that encompassed a significant portion of lands south of Walden Pond, land that was described by Henry David Thoreau as part of Jacob Baker&#39;s farm. Higginson lived there until 1933. The house remained in private ownership until 1992, when it was purchased by the Walden Woods Project, dedicated to the preservation of the Walden Woods area.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The High Street Historic District in Wilmington, Massachusetts is a residential historic district along High Street. The district runs east from High Street&#39;s junction with Salem Street  to a sharp bend in the road where it meets the right-of-way for Interstate 93. Of the 17 contributing properties, all but four are located on the north side of the road ; the rest are on the south side . It represents a cluster of high quality houses built mainly in the second half of the 19th century, although there is one contributing property  built in 1942. The styling of these houses is diverse, with all of the popular revival styles of the period represented. Houses built in the 20th century are predominantly Colonial Revival or Craftsman/Bungalow in style.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Larrabee&#39;s Brick Block is a historic commercial and residential building at 500–504 Main Street in Melrose, Massachusetts. It is one of only two relatively unaltered 19th century commercial buildings in Melrose. The three-story brick Second Empire building was built in 1880 by John Larrabee, on the site of a wood frame meeting hall. The block is built of brick laid in stretcher bond, and its third floor is under a mansard roof typical of the style. The ground floor consists of two storefronts with recessed entrances and plate glass windows, and a separate recessed entrance giving access to the upper residential floors. The second floor facade has two projecting bay windows, decorated with brackets and panel trim, above the two store fronts, and a sash window above the residential entrance. The mansard roof originally had single window dormers, but 1910, all but one of these  were removed and replaced by extensions of the second story bay windows.</p><br>
<p>The north elevation is also decorated with some elaboration, even though it faces a narrow passage. Windows on the second floor are topped by segmented arches and brick corbelled hoods, and the mansard roof is pierced by six dormers similar in style to the original one on the front. Windows on the south elevation are more simply styled, having only segmented arch lintels, and the cornice becomes simpler towards the rear of the building. The back elevation is also simply decorated, and is mostly obscured by a 1930s vernacular three-tier porch.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building has also retained most of its original finishes. The ground floor shops have tin ceilings and walls, and original maple flooring, and the upper residential units retain much of the original woodwork, including fireplace mantels, wainscoting, and molded door and window surrounds.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Job Lane House is a historic house at 295 North Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. A leanto section to the rear gives the house a saltbox profile. The house was built c. 1713 by Job Lane, one of Bedford&#39;s earliest settlers, on land acquired by his grandfather  in 1664 from Governor John Winthrop.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is owned by the Town of Bedford and operated as an 18th-century historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Hildreth-Robbins House  is a historic house at 19 Maple Road in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. The main block of the -story wood-frame house was built in three stages, most likely over the course of the second half of the 18th century. That block is connected to a 19th-century barn  via a long single-story ell. The property is significant as one of the major farmsteads of south Chelmsford of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is also distinctive as a rare 18th-century farm that was owned by a woman, Sarah Hildreth.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Abraham Hill House is an historic First Period house in Belmont, Massachusetts, United States. Probably built in the early 18th century, it is one of the oldest buildings in the town. Its construction history shows changing residential trends over two hundred years of history. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Abraham Hill House is located northeast of downtown Belmont, on the southeast side of Pleasant Street (Massachusetts Route 60) between its junctions with Prospect Street and Scott Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is oriented with a gable end to the street, and its main facade on the side. The facade is three bays wide, with asymmetrical positioning including a slightly off-center entrance. Two brick chimneys rise from the interior through the rear roof face. There are 4 rooms to each floor in the main house. Each room has a fireplace. The kitchen had an extension from the chimney to ovens. On the left side of the house, the rear section extends beyond the side wall, a feature known regionally as a "Beverly jog". A single-story ell extends to the rear (northeast) side of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house is one of the oldest houses in Belmont, if not the very oldest. Its construction date is claimed by local historians to be 1693, but architectural analysis places its construction later, c. 1725–1750. It was enlarged significantly in the 1790s by Abraham Hills son James, who was born in the house. Alterations included the conversion of the house from a central chimney plan to a central hall plan. It remained in the Hill family until 1942. The stockade fence was added in the 1960s. The ground floor windows are only 3-4 from the sidewalk. The hand hewn floor boards were about 2&#39; wide of a yellowish orange color after waxing</p><br>
<p>The Deacon Samuel Hill House is a historic First Period house in Billerica, Massachusetts. The -story timber-frame house is estimated to have been built around 1725, based on analysis of its construction techniques. It was probably built by Deacon Samuel Hill, who inherited the property where it stood from Ralph Hill, an early settler of the area. The house was originally a single room in depth, but a leanto was added in the 18th century, giving it the typical Georgian saltbox appearance. One of the upper chambers has a rare example of wood paneling painted with a marbleized finish. The house was moved to its present location  sometime in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Hoar Tavern, or the Hoar Homestead, is a historic tavern and house northeast of downtown Lincoln on Reiling Pond Road in Lincoln, Massachusetts. With a construction history dating to 1680, it was for nearly two centuries home to the Hoar family, a prominent legal and political family in Massachusetts. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Hoar Tavern is set close to Massachusetts Route 2 in eastern Lincoln, from which it is now separated by sound barriers and a low stone wall. The tavern property, about 2 acre, includes the house/tavern and a barn of significant antiquity, the two now joined by an ell. The tavern is a -story wood-frame structure, oriented facing south towards Route 2, which follows the route of the colonial-era Cambridge Turnpike. The main facade is five bays wide, with a projecting entry vestibule at the center. It has a central chimney, and is sheathed in wooden clapboards. The interior includes high-quality 18th-century wood paneling, as well as features indicative of its First Period construction. The barn is a large timber-framed structure, with beams 18 in thick.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built by Daniel Hoar in the 1680s, when the area was still part of Concord. Daniels son John and grandson Samuel were both active in Lincoln town affairs, and served in the Battles of Lexington and Concord at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. Samuels son (also named Samuel), was a leading attorney in Massachusetts in the first half of the 19th century, and his sons, Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar and George Frisbie Hoar, were both prominent in state and national politics. The property operated for over a century by the Hoars as a tavern, was sold out of the family in 1869.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Hobbs House is a historic colonial house in Weston, Massachusetts. It was built about 1749 by Ebenezer Hobbs, a prominent local citizen. His son Isaac was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War and owner of an adjacent tannery that was an important local business. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and included in the Kendal Green Historic District on March 1, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Isaac Hobbs House stands in suburban northeastern Weston, just north of the junction of North Avenue (Massachusetts Route 117) with Church Street in the town&#39;s Kendal Green area. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is oriented facing west, and is screened from the road by a fence, although it is located close to the road. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance and a cross gable above the center three bays. A two-story ell extends to the left side, and a small single-story ell projects to the right.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this house was built about 1749, probably by Ebenezer Hobbs, whose family had acquired the land for it in 1729. Ebenezer&#39;s son Isaac was a town selectman, representative in the state legislature, and a member of the Massachusetts militia who saw action in the Battle of Bunker Hill. A later descendant who owned the house was J.F. Baldwin Marshall, paymaster general to the Massachusetts troops in the American Civil War. The family also operated a tannery adjacent to the house, which was a significant business in the town until its closure in 1860, and is now town conservation land.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Hollis Historic District encompasses the historic civic and commercial heart of Holliston, Massachusetts. It extends along Washington Street (Massachusetts Routes 16 and 126 for about one mile, between Winter Street and Highland Street. Incorporated in 1724, this area now includes a well-preserved collection of predominantly 19th century architecture. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Holliston was first settled by European settlers in the 1680s, when it was part of Sherborn. The town was incorporated in 1724, named for Thomas Hollis, a wealthy English merchant. At that time, the town&#39;s first meetinghouse was built, and its first cemetery (the Central Cemetery, located next to the town offices and opposite Elm Street) was laid out. Washington Street itself was laid out in 1731, joining the town to Mendon. Typical finer houses of this early period would have resembled the Isaac Foster House, 617 Washington Street, built in 1727.</p><br>
<p>The towns major period of growth during the 19th century took place before the American Civil War, resulting in the construction of a number of fine Federal and Greek Revival houses in its center. A number of its major civic buildings were also built during this time, including the Federal style First Congregation Church (1822) and Italianate style Town Hall (1855). Other churches were built during this time, but only the 1833 Methodist Church survives, extensively altered, as a Masonic hall. After the war, development remained slow until the arrival of the railroad c. 1900, when a number of brick commercial buildings went up. Also built during this time was the Holliston Public Library (c. 1903), which received funding support from Andrew Carnegie. Although there are some more modern 20th century intrusions consequent to the towns growth as a suburb, much of the center is recognizably from the turn of the 20th century or earlier.</p><br>
<p>The Hopestill Bent Tavern is a historic First Period tavern  in Wayland, Massachusetts, United States. The oldest portion of this -story building was built on this site c. 1710, and consisted of two rooms with a central chimney. Around 1800 a second First Period structure was moved to the site and attached to the first, giving the building most of its present form. The building is also unusual for the period in that some of its rooms have no fireplace, and that the upstairs exhibits evidence of significant reuse of older building materials, a practice that was generally restricted to the attic or basement. The building exhibits modest Federal styling, in keeping with the c. 1800 alterations.</p><br>
<p>Its builder and first proprietor was Hopestill Bent (1672–1725). Hopestill Bent fought in King William&#39;s War (one of the French and Indian Wars). Hopestill Bent was the great-grandfather of Silas Bent Jr. and great-great-grandfather of Charles Bent, the trader and first territorial Governor of New Mexico during the Mexican-American War</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Hopkinton Dam and Spillway is a historic site at the eastern end of Hopkinton Reservoir in Hopkinton State Park in Ashland, Massachusetts. The western end of the reservoir lies in the town of Hopkinton. The reservoir was constructed between 1891 and 1894 as part of the city of Boston&#39;s second major water works project, the impoundment of significant portions of the Sudbury River watershed. The Hopkinton Dam impounds Indian Brook, a Sudbury River tributary, creating the reservoir to its south. The core of the dam is concrete, with earthen embankments that are bermed on the water side, with rip-rap below. The spillway is at the northern end of the dam, and is a 650 ft series of steps lined with granite set in concrete. Unlike other dams in the system, this one apparently never had gatehouses built above the chambers from which water flow is controlled.</p><br>
<p>The dam and spillway were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The David Lane House is a historic house at 137 North Road in Bedford, Massachusetts, United States. The main block of this story wood frame Cape style house was built in the 1780s by David Lane, who was a fifer in the Bedford minute company at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. There is architectural evidence suggesting that part of the house was built by his grandfather, Job Lane, about 1720. The house has high-quality interior woodwork dating to the time of the house&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Cochituate Dam is a historic dam on the southwestern side of Lake Cochituate in Framingham, Massachusetts. The 62 ft dam was built in 1890, replacing two earlier wooden dams, dating back to the 1846 construction of the Cochituate Aqueduct. The core of the dam is granite rubble laid in concrete. Lake Cochituate was taken out of service as part of Boston&#39;s public water supply in the 1930s, and the lake and dam were eventually turned over to the state, which established Cochituate State Park.</p><br>
<p>The dam was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Kendal Green Historic District is a rural residential district running along North Avenue  in Weston, Massachusetts. It extends for about three-quarters of a mile, and includes elements representative of the development of Weston from a rural agricultural community to a residential suburb of Boston. In addition to a variety of predominantly residential and agricultural properties, it includes two formerly industrial sites important in Weston&#39;s history: the site of the Hobbs Tannery, and that of the Hook and Hastings Organ Factory. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>North Avenue is a through street in northeastern Weston that dates to colonial days, now connecting Waltham to Maynard. It is roughly paralleled to the south by the Fitchburg Railroad, now primarily used as a commuter rail line by the MBTA, with a stop labelled Kendal Green just south of North Avenue on Church Street. The historic district extends along North Avenue between Hobbs Brook Road in the east to Viles Street in the west, where the Hastings commuter rail station is located. Most of the district&#39;s properties line North Avenue, with an extension on Church Street to including the historic station building there, and along Viles Street and Brooks Road to include a small industrial area.</p><br>
<p>The Weston area was first settled in the 17th century, when it was part of Watertown, and North Avenue was one of the locuses of early settlement. The oldest building in the district is the c. 1707 Whitney Tavern at 171 North Avenue. In 1729 Josiah Hobbs (for whose family Hobbs Brook is named) purchased much of the land in this area, and also acquired a water right at which he operated a tannery, one of the first such industries in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Five generations of Hobbses operated the tannery for more than an century, and built a number of surviving houses in the district, including 87, 88, and 121 North Avenue. #87, the Isaac Hobbs House, is separately listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The railroad, which effectively bounds the district to the south, was built through the area in the 1840s, but did not immediately affect development. In the 1880s the E. and G.G. Hook and Hastings Organ Company built a factory on Viles Street at the railroad, which became the towns largest employer and a significant economic force in its development. Although none of the companys industrial buildings have survived, a significant number of houses on North, Viles and Brooks were built either by the company or by others to house its workers.</p><br>
<p>Jones Tavern is a historic tavern at 128 Main Street in Acton, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main part of the tavern was built in 1732 as a home for Samuel Jones, Jr. and his family. By 1750, the home had been expanded to become a tavern and general store. It is believed to be the first store in Acton and holds the distinction of being the town of Actons longest established business. In 1845, the tavern was merged into James Tuttles store. Tuttle consolidated his businesses in the new Exchange Hall building in 1860. In 1878 Elnathan Jones established a dairy farm on the property, and the building was divided into apartments for farm workers, a role it served until about 1900.</p><br>
<p>The building was rescued from imminent demolition in 1964 by local residents, who formed Iron Work Farm in Acton, Inc., a Massachusetts non-profit corporation with a charter "to acquire and preserve the tangible landmarks of the area historically known as Iron Work Farm". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Faulkner House and Jones Tavern are two historic properties in South Acton that are owned by Iron Work Farm in Acton, Inc. The tavern is open on the fourth Sunday of each month, from May through October.</p><br>
<p>The John Eliot Historic District encompasses what was the historic early village center of Natick, Massachusetts. Now the heart of the village of South Natick, it now exhibits a diversity of architecture from the 18th to early 20th centuries, laid out along historic 17th-century colonial routes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The South Natick village center is located in southeastern Natick, formed by the junction of Eliot Street (Massachusetts Route 16) with Union and Pleasant Streets. It is located just north of a bend in the Charles River, and has a documented history of both colonial and prehistoric settlement. The roadways probably predate 1651, likely serving as Native American trails. In that year, missionary John Eliot established a settlement of Praying Indians, the first of its kind, on this site. The present bridge across the Charles is located where an early footbridge was built, and the South Natick Dam is at the site of what was once a natural falls and fishing weir. The Native settlement, originally with about 180 individuals, had shrunk by 1797 to just 20. The town, incorporated in 1781, was then dominated by white settlers, its center relocated to a more geographically central site. The first dam in the village was built in 1752, and the area now occupied by a town park on the banks of the river was an industrial site, with a fulling mill and sawmill.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is essentially X-shaped, radiating away from the central junction on the four roadways. Its center is dominated by the Federal-style John Eliot Church (1828), and the Gothic former John Eliot Congregational Church (1862), and the Renaissance Bacon Library, built in 1880 to a design by Robert G. Shaw. The library is built partly over the grounds of the colonial-era Indian burying ground, one of the places of particular archaeological significance in the district. The village also includes the homes of two important 19th-century writers: one of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and another (a National Historic Landmark) of Horatio Alger.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Jenison House is a historic house at 1 Frost Road in Natick, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame house, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboard siding. The house was built c. 1738 by Robert Jenison. It is one of the town&#39;s oldest buildings, and its builder is known to have built a number of other houses in Sudbury and Sherborn. The house was originally part of a 200 acre tract of land that was sold by the Natick Indians despite protests from John Eliot. There is an outbuilding on the property that is marked as the site where Vice President Henry Wilson learned to make shoes.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, where it is listed at 470 Winter Street.</p><br>
<p>The Abraham Jaquith House, also known as Farley Garrison house, is a house at 1246 Province Road in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. Built about 1725 in Billerica, Massachusetts, it was dismantled and moved to its present location in the early 2000s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and was delisted in 2024.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Abraham Jaquith House was located at the northeast corner of Concord Road and Middlesex Turnpike. It was a -story timber-frame structure, with a gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade was five bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a 19th-century Italianate hood. The rear roof extended to the first floor in leanto fashion, giving the house a saltbox profile. Windows were rectangular sash, with a slightly smaller one above the entrance. The interior included exposed beams, a narrow staircase in the entry vestibule, and feathered woodwork around the fireplaces. The chamber in the leanto section showed evidence that it was a later construction.</p><br>
<p>Local tradition credited this houses construction to George Farley and his wife, Christian Bietres Farley, one of the areas first colonial settler families (both arrived in Massachusetts colony in 1639, founded the town of Billerica after moving there with several other families in 1653/54). However, architectural analysis of the western three bays, its oldest portion, estimated a date of 1725, around the time when the Farley&#39;s daughter married Abraham Jaquith. The lean-to and eastern two bays were added during the 18th century. Family lore says that the eastern half of the house was allowed to deteriorate in the late 19th century by one of two brothers occupying the house. That portion eventually collapsed, and was poorly reconstructed in 1922. In 2000, building owner Peter Jaquith Casey had the house disassembled and stored in New Hampshire in order to preserve it. Parts of the structure were dismantled and re-assembled on 12 acres in Gilmanton, New Hampshire by Gilmanton resident Douglas Towle in 2010, who then sold it as a private dwelling alongside reconstructed outbuildings, including a barn typical of the 1700–1800s and an old schoolhouse and corn crib. The house is reproduced as it may have looked in 1725.</p><br>

This area was historically the town center, and the building occupies a highly prominent position. It is a 1-1/2 story building, constructed out of yellow brick and a light-colored terra cotta. Its main entrance is in a pavilion 2-1/2 stories in height that projects from the northern end of the west side. It has a fully pedimented gable with modillions and dentil molding. The entrance is set in a round-arch opening, flanked by windows set in lower round-arch openings, with a three-part Palladian window on the second level. Courses of terra cotta extend around the building, separating the basement level from the first floor, and the first from the second. Windows on the first floor are typically round-arch sash. The buildings interior has retained a significant degree of original material.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Perkins & Betton and built in 1894-95 to house the municipal library. It was a gift from Elizabeth and Clement S. Houghton, he the son of one of Boston&#39;s wealthiest merchants, William S. Houghton. The elder Houghton, a Littleton native, had in 1884 made a bequest to the town for the establishment of a library collection in honor of Reuben Hoar, who had financially assisted his father in a difficult time. The Shingle style building erected by that bequest stood at the site of the present town hall, and also housed town offices. It was a major local landmark until its destruction by fire in 1943. The library, still named in honor of Reuben Hoar, moved to 41 Shattuck Street in 1991, and the Houghton Memorial Building then housed the Littleton Historical Society.</p><br>

The building is a roughly rectangular two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. The front of the building faces northeast, and is four bays wide, with the entrance in the second bay from the right. It is flanked by pilasters and topped by an eyebrow transom window and a gabled pediment. A pair of brick chimneys pierce the left side of the roof.</p><br>
<p>In 1757 Jonathan Cooper built a large house at the corner of what are now Beech Street and Massachusetts Avenue just north of what is now Porter Square. He was soon operating a tavern on the premises in what was then just beginning to develop as a commercial area. The Middlesex Turnpike opened on the route of Massachusetts Avenue in 1806, bringing additional business to the tavern. John Davenport, its owner at that time, constructed the present structure as a wing to the building Cooper built. By the 1880s the building was in decline, and the property was acquired for the construction of St. James Episcopal Church. The 1757 building was razed, and the wing was moved to its present location c. 1888. It is now used as a multi-unit residence.</p><br>

<p>The Downer Rowhouses are two sets of Second Empire row houses that are back to back at 55 Adams Street and 192-200 Central Street, Somerville, Massachusetts. Built c. 1880, they are among the first buildings of their type built in the city. The two groups were separately listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1989, as Downer Rowhouses  and Downer Rowhouses .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Both sets of rowhouses are set on residential streets just south of Broadway, the major thoroughfare through the Winter Hill neighborhood of Somerville. They each consist of five essentially identical (or mirror-image) residences, stories in height, with a full third floor under their steeply-pitched mansard roofs. Each unit is two bays wide, with the left side a full-height polygonal bay, with narrow side windows and a larger center window. At the mansard level the windows are set under gables; otherwise the windows have brownstone lintels and sills. The entrances are on the right side. They have patterned slate roofs.</p><br>
<p>When these rowhouses were built c. 1880, Winter Hill was a fashionable residential area, populated by large two and three-family houses on generously sized lots. These buildings, among the first rowhouses built in the city, were built by Cutler Downer, a local real estate developer. Similar rowhouses, not as well-preserved as these, were built in a few places elsewhere in the city, notably on Prospect Hill and Spring Hill.</p><br>

<p>The Coryell County Courthouse is an historic building located at Courthouse Square in Gatesville, Texas, the seat of Coryell County. Built in 1897–98, it was the county&#39;s third courthouse; Architect Wesley Clark Dodson, A designer of many Civil Buildings in Texas, designed the Beaux Arts building. In his design, Dodson modified the traditional cross-axial plan to allow for the erection of a central tower. By moving the district courtroom to a position alongside the tower rather than centered underneath it, he was able to extend the masonry support walls to the ground and support the tower. An important feature of the court house is the Massive Classical porticos, differing somewhat in scale and treatment, define the north and south entries. The south portico has paired corner columns, while the north has single columns. The porticos rise from a one-story base of rusticated stone with arched entries in the lower level. The openings flanking the central arch are smaller on the north facade. Red sandstone Corinthian columns support white sandstone pediments, with the five pointed star of Texas inset in contrasting carved stone.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Old Faithful Historic District in Yellowstone National Park comprises the built-up portion of the Upper Geyser Basin surrounding the Old Faithful Inn and Old Faithful Geyser. It includes the Old Faithful Inn, designed by Robert Reamer and is itself a National Historic Landmark, the upper and lower Hamilton&#39;s Stores, the Old Faithful Lodge, designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, the Old Faithful Snow Lodge, and a variety of supporting buildings. The Old Faithful Historic District itself lies on the 140-mile Grand Loop Road Historic District.</p><br>
<p>A notable missing portion of the district is the Old Faithful Museum of Thermal Activity, which formed part of the trailside museum group that includes the Madison Museum, Norris Museum and Fishing Bridge Museum, all listed as National Historic Landmarks. The Old Faithful Museum was torn down in 1971 to make way for the Mission 66 visitor center, which in turn has been replaced by the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings in the historic district</h2><br>
<p>The district is dominated by the Old Faithful Inn and consists of the Old Faithful Lodge, 3 stores, 2 service stations, 5 dormitories, 10 support buildings, and the guest cabins behind the Old Faithful Lodge and the Snow Lodge.</p><br>
<p>The first 11 buildings listed are of similar architectural style to the Old Faithful Inn and retain their architectural and historical integrity. The following 11 buildings: have historical significance as support buildings and they are compatible with the historic scene. The cabins have historical significance and do reflect the type of cabin construction in Yellowstone National Park. While the cabins in the Old Faithful Lodge still retain</p><br>
<p>some architectural integrity, the cabins behind the Snow Lodge have been altered considerably and have lost their architectural integrity.</p><br>
<p>Building #2337 - Old Faithful Lodge. Construction began in 1923 with several additions made through 1927. The irregular plan building is of frame construction with stone masonry walls, wood-shingled exterior siding, and half log decorative elements.

<p>Building #2305 - Old Faithful Inn. The Old Faithful Inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, July 23, 1973. Herein specifically, the nomination will be expanded to include the following interior spaces: the dining room, the lobby, Rooms 10, 127, 154, and 229. The rustic log quality of the exterior is carried throughout the interior. The lobby, a 64-foot-square space rising 85 feet to the ridgeline, is encircled with tiers of balconies used as lounges for the guests. The use of exposed logs for the ceilings, walls, the purlins and rafters are further accented by the use of vertical log supports of the second and third floor balconies and for the small open room near the ceiling called the "Crows Nest." In earlier days, the "Crows Nest" was used by musicians as a place to assemble and entertain the guests far below. The lobby is further enhanced by the lighting effect produced by the many glass dormer windows placed in the steep gabled roof. An immense 16-foot-square native stone fireplace with hearths on each of its four sides dominates one corner of the lobby. Tons of local stone were used in the construction of the fireplace. The fireplace towers to the ceiling. Suspended from the ceilings in the lobby and dining room are copper light fixtures designed by the Inn&#39;s architect, Robert Reamer. Imitation candlesticks, also designed by Reamer, are mounted on the log columns and form sconces on the log walls. The original log-walled dining room is open to the roof with the log ceiling supported by log scissor trusses. A massive rock fireplace, modified after the 1959 earthquake, centers on the south wall. In 1921, the south wall ground level windows were removed to install doorways for a new dining room addition. In 1927, a multisided addition was made to the east wall of the original dining room. The original wall was removed and replaced with three support columns and panels. Interesting and significant elements of the room and the 1921 dining room addition are the arabesque on the fir panels, the spare columns, and the frieze. The etched designs are of flora and fauna and are the only rustic touches in the room. The room was converted to "The Bear Pit" a more formal cocktail lounge in 1962. Room No. 10, off the west corridor on the first floor, is one of the original rooms with modified bathroom intact. The log walled room, approximately 12 x, has original built-in light fixtures and call buttons. The ceiling has the original end-to-end shingle covering. The adjoining bathroom has the original high tank oak toilet, clawfoot bathtub, and red marble lavatory. Linoleum covers the original fir flooring. The bathroom is approximately 10 x. Other typical hotel rooms with rustic qualities are No. 127 and No. 154, on the second floor, and No. 229, on the third floor. The walls and ceilings are rough-sawn pine. Room No. 127 has an adjoining bath with tongue and groove walls and original high tank toilet, clawfoot bathtub and white marble lavatory. Room No. 154 has wooden casement windows and a seating nook on the north window. Room No. 229 is similar to Room No. 154, but larger size. Part of the room is the opening provided by the dormer window. All of the rooms have non-historic lavatories added in the 1930s–1940s. The stairway in the west wing should be cited, the half-log stair and tread and gnarled railings, Original furnishings in the Old Faithful Inn are significant components of the building and the collection is a good representation from the Arts and Crafts Movement. In the public spaces are two or three styles of loose cushioned settees, arm chairs, rockers, and wing back chairs, octagonal base tables with leather tops and brass studded trim, and writing desks and chairs. These pieces of Mission Furniture probably came from a manufacturer in upstate New York. The dining room is still furnished with the natural hickory side chairs of rustic style from the Old Hickory Furniture Company. The Bear Pit has leather topped tables with brass studs. Some bedrooms have iron bedsteads with a brass printed finish, dresser with drop front drawers and wash stand stained green with copper tops.</p><br>
<p>Building #2312 - Girl&#39;s Dormitory. Built in 1925, the L-plan building, approximately 170 x, has two stories and 80 rooms.

<p>Dutton–Waller Raised Tybee Cottage is a cottage on Tybee Island, Georgia, in Chatham County, Georgia, near Savannah. It is significant as a very well preserved example of a raised Tybee cottage. It is one of few still intact from the "golden era" of Tybee Island&#39;s development during 1910–1939, when Tybee Island became a beach house community for Savannah middle-class families.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 2008. It is the fourth property that is listed as a featured property of the week in a program of the National Park Service that began in July 2008.</p><br>
<p>The cottage is located in the Back River area of Tybee Island; there are also historic cottages preserved in the Strand area of the island. Cottages of this type were built from the 1920s through the 1940s as summer homes for the middle class. The Dutton–Waller Raised Tybee Cottage was built as a speculative investment by Edward A. Dutton in 1938. It was purchased in 1940 by Blanche S. Waller. The unpainted interior retains the original, rustic heart-pine paneling and bungalow floor plan. The living space is on the upper floor of the two-story building, with servants quarters and garage space below. The cottage was remodeled extensively in 2006. It has been refurbished to remove non-historic changes made in the 1950s&ndash;1970s and replace historic elements that had been removed. The cottages significance is enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few such cottages remaining, most having been demolished to make way for much bigger homes in recent times of escalating property values.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Winters Historic District, also known as the Main Street Historic District, is a historic district in Winters, Yolo County, California which includes the block of Main Street between Railroad Avenue and First Street. The district is the commercial center of Winters and includes commercial buildings built between the 1870s and 1912. Twenty buildings are included in the district, thirteen of which are contributing buildings. The most prominent building in the district is the DeVilbiss Hotel, which was built in 1899 and designed by A.A. Cook of Sacramento. The Bank of Winters Business Block, a 1904 structure located across from the hotel, is also considered a centerpiece of the district. Two buildings in the district date from the founding of Winters in the mid-1870s: the Opera House and the Chulick Market. The remaining buildings in the district were mainly built in two waves, one in the 1890s and one from 1906 to 1912.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 2, 1997.</p><br>

<p>The First National Bank of Brewster building, later Southeast Town Hall, is located on Main Street  next to the train station in Brewster, New York, United States. It is a brick Queen Anne-style building constructed in 1886 currently used as offices for the Town of Southeast, of which Brewster is part.</p><br>
<p>The bank itself closed in 1964. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 in recognition of its intact style and its place in the village&#39;s history.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The rectangular one-story brick building rises from a granite foundation to a hipped roof covered with slate tiles and a decorative ridge cap. The main block&#39;s fenestration consists of double-mullioned semicircular windows.</p><br>
<p>A small wing on the north facade has hexagonal slate shingles and a Palladian window on its gable face; a chimney rises from its roof. It is complemented by a similarly-faced cross-gable on the south side with louvered oculus. The slope of the irregular triangle the building sits on allows for a basement entrance on this side. A small addition on the west side is sympathetic to the original building.</p><br>
<p>The walls are done in unpainted panelling and the ceilings in unpainted tongue-in-groove. What was the main banking area has a cathedral ceiling and six-branch brass chandelier.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The First National Bank was incorporated in 1875 following rapid post-Civil War growth of the village of Brewster and its neighboring areas. It grew successful enough that by 1886 it could afford the current building, whose Queen Anne stylings also incorporate the rounded windows of the also-popular Richardsonian Romanesque style. The bank was purposely located next to the rail depot, the source of much of the prosperity it had helped to finance.</p><br>
<p>The building was never substantially altered for much of the bank&#39;s occupancy, save the addition on the west in 1950. When it closed in 1964, the Town of Southeast, in which Brewster is located, was quick to move in from the old Town Hall down the street.</p><br>
