<p>The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps about 1935. The log structure is located in the extreme southwest backcountry of Grand Teton National Park. The cabin was built according to a standard design for such structures, in the National Park Service Rustic style. The Moran Bay Patrol Cabin is similar.</p><br>
<p>The patrol cabin is a one-story log cabin on a log sill foundation using 14 in logs. The cabin is square in plan with asphalt roll roofing on the gabled roof. The door retains its original wrought iron hardware. The interior is floored with 8 in boards, cut to a length of 3 ft to fit a pack saddle. The interior logs are trimmed with split-pole chinking. The ceiling is open, with exposed log framing.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Andy Chambers Ranch is a historic district in Teton County, Wyoming, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranch is the only remaining nearly complete farmstead in Mormon Row, itself a historic district the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The locale was settled by Mormon migrants between 1900 and 1920, creating an enclave near the Gros Ventre River. The farmstead dates to the 1920s and includes a house, barn, garage and a variety of outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The Mormon Row was a line village, similar to Grouse Creek, Utah, with a relatively dense development stretched along the line of the connecting road, allowing for extensive pasturage along either side behind the houses and buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Andy Chambers Ranch was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Bar B C Dude Ranch was established near Moose, Wyoming in 1912 as a dude ranch by Struthers Burt and Dr. Horace Carncross, using their initials as the brand. Rather than converting a working ranch, Burt and Carncross built a tourist-oriented dude ranch from the ground up, using a style called "Dude Ranch Vernacular", which featured log construction and rustic detailing. As one of the first dude ranches in Jackson Hole, the Bar B C was a strong influence on other dude ranches in the area, and employed a number of people who went on to establish their own operations. It was acquired by the National Park Service and incorporated into Grand Teton National Park upon the expiration of a life estate. The ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Struthers Burt had previously started the first true dude ranch in Jackson Hole, the JY, in 1908 with Louis Joy. The JY&#39;s patrons included Owen Wister, whose writings did much to popularize dude ranches. However, Joy and Burt fell out. Established in 1912 by Burt and Horace Carncross, the B C was given a boost by the outbreak of World War I, which restricted American travel to Europe. Many Easterners came west, and Jackson Hole was particularly popular among Philadelphians. In 1917 Burt and Carncross borrowed $9200 to expand the ranch from the Philadelphia Trust Company. The standard of service and cuisine rose rapidly (Burt described early food as "bad"), moving from canned vegetables in the early years to fresh vegetables and dairy produced at the ranch by the early 1920s. By 1922 it was incorporated as Bar B C Ranches and was one of the largest operations in the valley, able to house fifty dudes in 45 buildings. Burt and Carncross also operated the White Grass for Harold Hammond and George Bispham during this time, briefly buying the White Grass operation before selling it back. New partners Irving Corse and Joe LePage joined the operation, having worked their way through the organization as cowboys, wranglers and foremen.</p><br>
<p>The B C site was carefully selected by Burt and Carncross after considering views, water, soil, timber, and a relative lack of mosquitoes. Carncross, a 41-year-old physician from Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania, hoped that the dude ranch business would lead to a cattle ranching operation. Rather than buying an existing operation, Burt and Carncross established the B C as a homestead claim on adjacent tracts of 154.03 acre for Burt and 158.03 acre for Carncross, claiming more land in subsequent years. By 1917 the B C amounted to more than 600 acre. In 1924 Burt and Carncross bought a ranch near the Gros Ventre River to raise cattle and hay, naming it the Lower Bar BC.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, Burt published Diary of a Dude Wrangler in the Saturday Evening Post. Burt was himself a Princeton-educated Easterner who wrote on a wide range of subjects, including the West. Burts wife, Katharine Newlin Burt (1882–1977) and son Nathaniel Burt (1913–2003) were also published writers. Consequently, the Bar B C tended to attract writers. Guests included Harry W. Frantz and Burts friends from Princeton, including David Adler.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s Burt became an active advocate for conservation in Jackson Hole, opposing plans to build a dam at the outlet of Jenny Lake. In 1923 Burt participated in a meeting with Horace Albright, director of the National Park Service, at Maud Nobles cabin at Menors Ferry, which established a plan for the protection of Jackson Hole. After 1927 the Snake River Land Company, operating on behalf of John D. Rockefeller Jr., began to buy Jackson Hole land for eventual transfer to the National Park Service. In 1929 Burt and his then-partner Irving Corse sold the Bar B C in return for a life estate that allowed the dude operation to continue. Carncross had died in 1928 at his home in Pennsylvania, soon followed by Joe LePage. Grand Teton National Park was established in 1929, encompassing the Teton Range. It would not be until 1943, when Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Jackson Hole National Monument, assembled largely from Snake River Land Company holdings, that the ranch would exist within the protected lands. In 1929, Burt bought land along Pacific Creek where he established a dude ranch-like private retreat, naming it Three Rivers Ranch.</p><br>
<p>During the 1930s Burt and Corse disagreed over management and profit sharing, and in 1937 Corse bought out Burt. Corse believed that authenticity demanded that the ranch look "run down", and neglected maintenance. A series of fires caused some necessary rebuilding, and in 1934 Corse moved Joe LePages cabin to the ranch. Corse also built a small airstrip and hangar on the property. During World War II Corse suspended the ranch operation to be a flight instructor at the University of Wyoming. After the war, Corses health declined, and he died in 1953. Margaretta Corse subleased the ranch to T.H. and Margaretta Frew Conderman (of the 4 Lazy F Dude Ranch Frews), who operated the ranch as short-term-stay tourist cabins from 1950 to 1959. Afterwards, Mrs. Corse managed the ranch until 1985, when she could no longer continue. Mrs. Corse died in 1988. The life estate was terminated, and the property reverted to the Park Service.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district at the Bar B C includes 37 structures, including cabins, a lodge, a dining hall, a laundry/utility building, man-made ponds, barns, sheds and corrals. The site is at the western edge of the Snake River bottomlands, nestled against a river terrace to the west. A central road climbs from the ranch through a cutting in the hillside. The buildings are chiefly 1- or -story log structures, rectangular in shape. Roofing is red or green asphalt roll roofing. The property layout is apparently casual, but centers on the dining hall and lodge, with cabins on either side of the main path, flanked by corrals to the north and the barn to the south. While the exteriors are in good condition and are considered contributing features, the interiors have lost much of their character through alterations and loss of fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The informally styled ranch was widely copied by later dude ranches, and is considered a prototype of the genre.</p><br>
<h2>Offspring</h2><br>
<p>As one of the first dude ranches in the area, the B C inspired former dudes and employees to establish their own operations. Bar B C alumni established the White Grass, Sun Star, and the STS Ranch. Others, such as Maud Noble, who bought Menor&#39;s Ferry, or Cissy Patterson, established personal retreats.</p><br>
<p>The ranch operated until after World War II, when the cabins became summer rental cabins.</p><br>
<h2>Present situation</h2><br>
<p>The main ranch is included in Grand Teton National Park. The buildings have received limited maintenance since 1986. Many structures have deteriorated, and some have been partially demolished, but preservation work, coordinated from the National Trust for Historic Preservation Western Center at the White Grass Ranch, has stabilized the Carncross Cabin and the main lodge. The Bar B C was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>A residential property development on the former Lower B C Ranch property, just south of the Three Rivers Ranch, is now called the Bar BC Ranch.</p><br>
<p>The Aaron Martin House is a historic house in Waltham, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame house was built in the 1890s by Waltham Watch Company employee and real estate speculator Aaron Martin. It is a particularly well-preserved local example of Queen Anne styling. It has a variety of projections, gables, and porches, in a manner typical of the style, as well as a -story tower with a bell-shaped roof. Its porches are elaborately decorated with gingerbread woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in a Queen Anne style and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Aaron Martin Houses are a pair of historic houses in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built between 1892 and 1900, these Colonial Revival houses have similar massing, with hip roofs and double-window hip dormers. Windows on their main facades are treated with pediments incised with floral decoration, and their porches have turned posts. They were built by Aaron Martin, a real estate speculator and Waltham Watch Company employee who lived in a more elaborate house on Moody Street.</p><br>
<p>The houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The American Waltham Watch Company Historic District encompasses the former factory of the Waltham Watch Company, the leading American watch manufacturer of the 19th century and the city&#39;s largest employer. Located on Crescent Street and the banks of the Charles River, the surviving elements of its manufacturing facility date from the 1870s to the 1910s, and include particularly fine industrial Romanesque architecture. The buildings have been converted to a variety of commercial, industrial and residential uses since they ceased being used for watchmaking in the 1950s. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Waltham Watch factory complex is located southwest of downtown Waltham, in South Waltham. It occupies about 8 acre on the south bank of the Charles River, bounded on the north by Prospect Street, the east by Crescent Street, and the south by wood-frame residential and commercial properties. Its buildings extend for nearly 1,000 ft, with four above-ground floors and a basement level. Built out of red brick, the facades are dominated by rows of large sash windows set in segmented-arch openings. The complex has several different roof treatments, as well as several towers, turrets, and corner finials, giving it a remarkably unified Romanesque appearance.</p><br>
<p>The earliest incarnation of the Waltham Watch Company was founded on this site in 1854, and demonstrated the complete creation of a watch under a single roof. The company went through a number of management and ownership changes, and was known as the American Waltham Watch Company when the first buildings of this facility were constructed beginning in 1879, when some of the first buildings were demolished. They were lauded at the time as model facilities, dedicated to the safety and hygiene of the workers, and included amenities such as daycare facilities that were unusual for the time. Major modifications to the plant ended in 1913, and the plant was shut down about 1962, after a series of financial difficulties and ownership changes.</p><br>
<p>Following the demise of watch manufacturing, the complex was leased out in portions to light manufacturing industries. Panametrics, a manufacturer of precision equipment, occupied much of the premises until its acquisition in 2004 by General Electric. The complex has since then undergone an environmentally friendly conversion to mixed residential and commercial/industrial use.</p><br>
<p>The American Watch Tool Company is a historic factory complex at 169 Elm Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 1877 as a spin-off from the successful American Watch Company, and was used for the production of watchmaking tools until 1904. The four-building complex traces the evolutionary history of this business. The factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The American Watch Tool Company complex is located on the west side of Elm Street, a short way south of the Charles River. This complex of four connected buildings was built up between 1877 and 1916. All four buildings are two stories, and are built of brick. The largest building, dating to 1901, stands closest to the street; it is seven bays wide, six of which have windows set in segmented-arch openings at the two main levels, with smaller similar windows at the basement level. An entrance occupies the rightmost bay.</p><br>
<p>The American Watch Tool Company was established as a spinoff of the American Watch Company, Waltham&#39;s leading business of the late 19th century. The company was established by tool makers, many of whom had learned precision machining in other manufacturing areas, who then produced tools for use by other watch makers. This facility was used in that business until 1904, expanding the premises in 1879 and 1882. and was thereafter used by the Metz Company for the manufacture of automobiles. By 1950 the property was owned by the Belgian Spinning Company.</p><br>
<p>The Amos Stearns House is a historic house in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1845, this -story wood-frame former farmhouse is a reminder of Trapelo Road&#39;s agricultural past. It has well-kept Greek Revival styling, including corner pilasters and an entablature with dentil moulding. A single-story porch wraps across the front and along one side; it has a similar entablature with dentil work. The house stands on property that was in the Stearns family from 1782 to 1941.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Its listing describes it as being at 1079 Trapelo Road.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin F. Clough House is a historic house in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1855, the -story wood-frame house is one a few temple-front Greek Revival houses in the city. Although it has retained Ionic columns supporting its two-level porch and front gable, it has lost other details, including paneled piers on which the columns rested, as well as Colonial Revival corner brackets. The Palladian window in the front gable end is also a Colonial Revival addition, recently modified with modern sashes. Benjamin Clough, the owner, operated a shoe manufactory at the back of the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Wellington House is a historic house in Waltham, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame house was built c. 1810 by Benjamin Wellington, and is one of the city&#39;s few Federal style house with brick end-walls. The house is a well-proportioned five bays wide and three deep, with paired chimneys on each of the gable ends. A single-story porch with Tuscan columns wraps around two sides of the house. The Wellingtons, early settlers of the area, only acquired this farmstead  by marriage in the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Wilson&#39;s Diner is a historic diner at 507 Main Street  in Waltham, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The diner was built by the Worcester Lunch Car Company as #819, and was delivered to this site by the company in March 1949. It is a well-preserved example of the company&#39;s post-World War II craftsmanship. The diner is ten bays wide and three deep, and sits on a brick foundation. A kitchen wing, built of concrete blocks, connects the diner to the house at 507 Main Street. The entrances to the diner are at either end, with original stainless steel doors bearing sunburst motifs. Inside the diner is a full-length marble counter with center staff access, with 18 counter stools, and wooden booths lining the front wall.</p><br>
<p>The diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The diner was used to film scenes from Julia (2022 TV series).</p><br>

<p>The AMK Ranch is a former personal retreat on the eastern shore of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Also known as the Merymare, Lonetree and Mae-Lou Ranch, it was a former homestead, expanded beginning in the 1920s by William Louis Johnson, then further developed in the 1930s by Alfred Berol . Johnson built a lodge, barn and boathouse in 1927, while Berol added a larger lodge, new boathouse, and cabins, all in the rustic style.</p><br>
<p>After acquisition by the National Park Service, it was designated the University of Wyoming - National Park Research Station The research center is cooperatively owned by the National Park Service and the University, directed by University of Wyoming zoology professor Michael E. Dillon.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Located on the shore of Jackson Lake north of Colter Bay Village, the ranch is notable for its high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, comparable to that seen in contemporary National Park Service structures. The Berol Lodge is the most extensively detailed rustic structure in Grand Teton. Of the 17-building complex, 14 are considered contributing structures to the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The Merymere Lodge was one of the first structures on the property. The principal buildings are the Johnson Lodge, built by William Johnson, and the Berol Lodge, built by Alfred Berol.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original property was established in 1890 as a homestead rather than as a working ranch, the farthest north in Jackson Hole, by John Dudley Sargent and Robert Ray Hamilton. Sargent and Hamilton. Both men had been sent west by their families to put them at arms length, as remittance men. Sargent may have murdered Hamilton on Signal Mountain, which gained its name from the signal fire lit by searchers for Hamilton when they found his body.</p><br>
<p>The AMK was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>Pine Grove Cemetery is a cemetery whose main entrance is on Boston Street in Lynn, Massachusetts. It was established in the mid-19th century and it consists of 82 developed acres. There are approximately 88,000 to 90,000 interments at the cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was originally established as a private cemetery in 1849, with a design by Henry A. S. Dearborn, noted designer of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was purchased by the city of Lynn in 1855. In 1930, a wall was built by the WPA to surround the cemetery, and local legend says it is the “second-longest continuous stone wall in the world,” second only to the Great Wall of China. The cemetery got its name from the plethora of pine trees surrounding Rhodes Memorial Chapel and the cemetery&#39;s entrance. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>

<p>The Double Diamond Dude Ranch Dining Hall was built in 1945 as the centerpiece of a dude ranch operated by Frank Williams and Joseph S. Clark, Jr. in Grand Teton National Park. The ranch was opened in 1924 with a dozen tent cabins and log buildings for a kitchen and dining hall, lounge and commissary. In 1943 Williams built log tourist cabins, followed by the larger dining hall in 1945. The 1985 Taggart Lake Fire destroyed much of the ranch, sparing only the dining hall and five cabins. The dining hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of rustic architecture. Since 1970 the Double Diamond property has been a hostel for mountain climbers in the Teton Range, and is known as the Climbers&#39; Ranch.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frank Williams, originally from Colorado, was a local guide and former Bar B C Dude Ranch wrangler, who partnered with Clark, a young eastern dude from a wealthy Philadelphia family. Clark provided financial backing to open the Double Diamond in 1924 on a homestead claim that had been filed by Frank Williams&#39; wife Emma. Clark, who had been to the Bar B C and who had met Williams at the Bar None ranch, later became mayor of Philadelphia and was a USA senator from 1957 to 1969. The ranch expanded from 14 acre to 54 acre in 1926 with the purchase of a portion of the neighboring Manges property. Catering primarily to boys from eastern families, accommodations consisted of tents, with a small dining hall, lounge and commissary. The ranch drew its clientele from the Philadelphia area, charging $800, including transportation from Philadelphia, for a June 15 - September 15 season. References were required for prospective dudes. The ranch had an initial capacity of 25 dudes, expanded in the 1930s to 35. Clark, who was launching a legal and political career, became less involved in the 1930s, finally selling his share to Harry and Nola Williams Brown in 1946, but buying back an acre for a summer cabin.</p><br>
<p>Cabins were added in 1943 with a shift in emphasis to families. The main dining hall was built in 1945. Harry Brown and Nola Williams Brown, took half of the ownership in 1948. The Williams family continued to operate the Double Diamond until Frank&#39;s death in 1964, when the National Park Service bought the ranch for $315,000, retaining a lease to continue operations through 1969. The dining hall is a remnant of the ranch complex, which was mostly destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 1945 dining hall is a one-story U-shaped log building. It features a large stone fireplace and chimney on the north side. The former dining room is now a library and lounge, while the original commercial kitchen is a communal kitchen and dining area. The exterior is stained a uniform brown. Following local custom, the log chinking is covered with 1/4 pole strips.</p><br>
<p>The five surviving original cabins (of 15 extant before the fire) are not part of the historic designation. New and relocated cabins have replaced those lost, in locations approximating the missing cabins. Two cabins, designed by Ogden, Utah architect Eber Piers, were moved from the Hunter Hereford Ranch, confusing the local historical context.</p><br>
<p>The complex, including the dining hall, has been leased to the American Alpine Club since 1970. Renamed the Climbers&#39; Ranch, the facility is a hostel for mountain climbers. The cabins are used for dormitory-style climber accommodations, while the dining hall is a shared facility.</p><br>
<p>The Double Diamond dining hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 1998.</p><br>
<p>Rose Hill Plantation House  is an historic Carpenter Gothic house located on US 278 in Bluffton, Beaufort County, South Carolina. It was begun in 1858 for Dr. John Kirk and Caroline Kerk, his wife, but construction was interrupted by the Civil War and not resumed until after World War II when it was renovated and finished by architect Willis Irvin for John Sturgeon and Florence Sturgeon, his wife. On May 19, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It preserves the antebellum plantation home of Dr. & Mrs. John William  & Caroline  Kirk, a wealthy planter and physician.</p><br>
<p>According to tradition, the house was spared ordered destruction during the Civil War after a Union soldier declared "this house is too beautiful to be burned".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Rose Hill Plantation property of 1880 acres was a wedding gift from James Brown Kirk to his eldest daughter, Caroline in 1838. Construction on the plantation house began in 1858. During these years, the Kirk family profited from the labor and talent of enslaved people who grew cotton, rice, and indigo on the land. Rice and cotton were the primary cash crops, and salt was harvested from the nearby brackish creeks.</p><br>
<p>Sometime during the early years of the American Civil War, the Kirks had to flee to nearby Grahamville when word came of Sherman&#39;s Union troop movement in the area. Union troops did camp on the grounds, as evidenced by words scratched on the mirror that hung in the entryway: ”J.W. Co E..... 115th NY..... Flee Rebels..... Hell is here..... 12 July 1863 ". Civil war bullets and other period artifacts have been dug from the acreage in the last few years.</p><br>
<p>During the ensuing years, the house sat hidden in the woods for long periods abandoned to the elements, while tenant farmers lived in the house during some of those years.</p><br>
<p>In 1946, John and Betsy Gould Sturgeon, III, purchased the house, situated on the remaining 1400 acres, and employed prominent architect Willis Irvin Sr, to direct the renovation of the house into an elegant home. Irvin stayed “within the original style in his additions” and the finished interior reflected the sophisticated taste of Mrs. Sturgeon.</p><br>
<p>Betsy Gould Sturgeon died in 1966. After John Sturgeon&#39;s death in 1978, the estate was purchased, in 1981, by The Rose Hill Plantation Development Co., a joint venture of the Welton Corporation and Ontario Properties. The company developed Rose Hill Plantation into a gated community of approximately 950 residential home sites that vary in size from patio lots to multi-acre tracts, an Equestrian Center, a golf course, and many amenities for the use of its residents. The plantation house was a showplace and focal point of this development.</p><br>
<p>Under the supervision of Mrs. Iva Roberts Welton, Director of Rose Hill Plantation House, a rehabilitation of the house was completed in 1985. The plantation house was open for tours by reservation and many social events were held. In 1983, due mainly to the intense efforts of Mrs. Welton, the Rose Hill Plantation house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 1996, the Middleton White Foundation purchased the house and the surrounding 12.5 acres and began a new era of restoration on the house as a private home. It also is a local historical home that features multiple rooms filled with curated antiques. The property can be used for events, gathering, weddings and luxury nightly rental stays.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Rose Hill, on the Colleton River in Beaufort County, South Carolina, is a two-story, frame, cruciform, Gothic Revival building with a brick foundation, vertical board-and-batten siding, and a steeply pitched gable roof sheathed in standing-seam metal. The façade (south elevation) has a projecting arm of the cruciform plan composed of a first-story porch and a second-story porch room.. The interior has a cruciform plan arranged around a central domed stair-hall which is oval-shaped and has an open-stringer staircase rising at the north end of the hall and following the curve of the call to the second-floor gallery. An elliptical dome rises above the hall with a chandelier suspended from the dome’s apex. Rose Hill is significant as an exceptional example of antebellum Gothic Revival residential architecture. The renovations have painstakingly preserved most of the original fabric and matched all new construction to the style of the house. The details of Rose Hill are integrated in a highly sophisticated manner, and exhibits extraordinary craftsmanship, with the interior millwork being of exceptional note. The combination of Gothic Revival and classical details, as at Rose Hill, was not unknown in the mid-nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>The 1996 renovations developed a third floor storage area and a fourth floor (above the entry dome that contains two art studios/storage on either side of the small foyer. A covered walkway on the northeast corner of the house leads to a guest cottage which has a steep gable roof and windows similar to those of the main house. The kitchen and laundry room at the rear of the house that was adding during the Sturgeon years has been completely renovated and updated with period-looking modern appliances.</p><br>
<p>The Moose Entrance Kiosk was built between 1934 and 1939 by either the Public Works Administration or the Civilian Conservation Corps at the entrance to Grand Teton National Park. The log kiosk was built to National Park Service standard plans in the National Park Service Rustic style. It was originally located near the park&#39;s former administrative area, but was moved in the early 1960s to the new administration center and entrance at Moose. It is the last survivor of that building type and era in the park.</p><br>
<p>The kiosk was designed in the National Park Service rustic style, using rough log construction throughout. It is no longer used, having been supplanted by two newer, somewhat larger structures.</p><br>
<p>The Moose Entrance Kiosk was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Lake Ranger Station is the last Depression-era USA Forest Service ranger station in its original location in Grand Teton National Park. When first established, the park comprised only the mountainous terrain above Jackson Hole, while the remainder of what would eventually become the park was administered by the Forest Service as part of Teton National Forest. The Jackson Lake Station was built in 1933 as close as possible to Park Service property as possible as a kind of resistance to the park&#39;s expansion. The station was one of five Forest Service stations in the area, and was taken over by the National Park Service when Jackson Hole National Monument was established in 1943, later becoming an enlarged Grand Teton National Park. It is the only such station not to have been moved or altered by the Park Service.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranger station building is a 1-1/2 story log structure typical of the rustic bungalow style used by the Forest Service for its buildings of the era. An outhouse, 1-1/2 story garage and 2-1/2 story barn complete the grouping. The site is on the Teton Park Road overlooking the Willow Flats and Jackson Lake. Of the five Forest Service ranger stations in the area, the Jackson Lake station is the only one not to have been moved or rebuilt after the Park Service takeover.</p><br>
<h2>Forest Service vs. Park Service</h2><br>
<p>The enlargement of Grand Teton National Park was the subject of bitter disagreement in the local population and of resentment in the Forest Service, which had opposed the transfer. When the Forest Service vacated the Jackson Lake station in 1943 it took all of the station&#39;s furnishings and fixtures, interpreting "movable equipment" to include piping, plumbing fixtures, doors and cabinets. A four-foot wide hole was cut in the floor to remove an underground water tank, leaving the building in poor condition. In advance of a visit by congressmen in 1943 a live skunk was placed in the building, dying there. Public opinion blamed Forest Service personnel who did not wish the congressional delegation to see the damage.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Lake Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>

<p>Hickory Hill is an estate in Hanover County, Virginia. The 3,300 acre former plantation is located approximately 20 mi north of the independent city of Richmond and 5 mi east of the incorporated town of Ashland. The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hickory Hill property was long an appendage to Shirley Plantation in Charles City County, much of it having come into possession of Robert Carter by a deed dated March 2, 1734. Carter gave the plantation as a wedding gift to his daughter Anne Butler Carter (1797-1868) and her husband, William Fanning (W. F.) Wickham (1793-1880), a lawyer and planter. The dowry included all the slaves on the plantation. From September 1828 until January 29, 1864, Wickham kept a close record of the names, dates of death, and, often, kinships, of the slave population on the estate. Their son Williams Carter Wickham became an unionist delegate to the Virginia Secession Convention of 1861, then a Confederate General who was captured while recovering from his wounds on the property, but nearly immediately paroled, and after the war became an influential railroad man. His son (W.F. Wickhams grandson) Henry T. Wickham (1849-1943), who was raised at Hickory Hill when it often hosted future general Robert E. Lee, eventually continued the farm, as well as practiced as a lawyer with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and became one of Virginias longest serving state legislators (including terms as president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate). The Wickham family continued to reside on the estate until selling the property in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>At its height, the estate consisted of 3,500 acre of land, and by 1860 was one of the largest plantations in Virginia, and had over 200 slaves working on it, only one of two such estates in Hanover County with that number of slaves, and one of nine in the entire state.</p><br>
<p>Hickory Hill produced wheat (its major crop), corn, oats, and a small amount of tobacco. Fruits and vegetables were also grown, but probably for consumption on the plantation. Unlike other Hanover County plantations, which sold locally, Hickory Hill sold its produce in Richmond where it brought a higher price. It had its own stop, Wickham Station, just below the manor house on the former Virginia Central Railroad.</p><br>
<h2>Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>Included on the grounds of the estate is the Hickory Hill Slave and African American Cemetery on Providence Church Road, in use from circa 1820 through circa 1938. The 4.25 acre cemetery is enclosed by a white vinyl post-and-board fence which was constructed some time after 2010. Some burials may have taken place outside of the fenced-in area. Not all burial sites have gravestones, some are mere depressions in the ground. A survey found about 149 interment sites, with the strong possibility of there being more. However, poor maintenance in the 20th century, especially loss of a temporary brush arbor visible in 1980, perhaps associated with logging damage in that decade, took its toll.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Roman Catholic Church and Rectory are located in downtown Rochester, New York.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Parish was created in 1834 as Rochesters second Roman Catholic parish, after St. Patrick&#39;s Parish.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the church was blessed 18 September 1853 by Bishop of Buffalo John Timon (the Diocese of Rochester was not formed until 1868). The building was dedicated, with Timon presiding, on 24 October 1858. The architect of the church is unknown, but design influences of Richard Upjohn and other church architects are apparent.</p><br>
<p>It was where celebrated actress and ballerina Giuseppina Morlacchi and cowboy scout and actor Texas Jack Omohundro were married on August 31, 1873.</p><br>
<p>A brick rectory was built in 1905, replacing an earlier rectory.</p><br>
<p>A spire and belfry, designed by Richard B. Arnold, were added in 1939-1940,</p><br>
<p>The church and rectory were added to the National Register of Historic Places on 12 March 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Weybosset Mills Complex is a historic industrial site in the Olneyville section of Providence, Rhode Island. It consists of nine historic brick factory buildings, located on three city blocks west of Rhode Island Route 10 and north of United States Route 6, just northwest of their junction. The three blocks are bounded on the south by Magnolia Street, and on the east by railroad tracks paralleling Route 10. The southern two blocks end at Agnes and Oak Streets, while the northerly block is bounded on the west by Troy Street and the north by Dike Street. The oldest building in the complex is a three-story brick boiler house built c. 1836. Although the origins of this mill complex were as a cotton mill, the Weybosset Corporation purchased it in 1864, and transformed it into one of the nation&#39;s major producers of worsted wool products.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 2008.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Historic District is a historic district located in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The district was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1969, and it was extended in 1984 to include two more buildings on East 10th Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and was expanded in 1985. The boundaries of the NRHP district and its expansion are now coterminous with those of the LPC.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Church in-the-Bowery is the centerpiece of the district, but it extends beyond the church and its rectory to include much of Stuyvesant Street and some of East 10th Street, which contain a small collection of Italianate and Federal-style houses and residential buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Campbell–Whittlesey House, also known as the Benjamin Campbell House, in Rochester, New York is a historic Greek Revival home, designed by architect Minard Lafever. It was built in 1836, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 18, 1971.</p><br>
<p>Campbell was a flour miller, as were many of Rochester&#39;s first residents. The home featured parlors painted in a dozen different colors and furniture stenciled with gold.</p><br>
<p>From 1939 In February 2010, the Society announced plans to sell the house to private interests, saying it would close as a museum by July 1. The Landmark Society cited decreased attendance&mdash;school visits, for example, decreased from 1,300 students in 2003 to 300 in 2009&mdash;and the society&#39;s shifting mission as explanations for the decision.</p><br>
<p>It is located within the boundaries of the Third Ward Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Aaron A. Sargent House was built prior to 1856, and is located in Nevada City, California at 449 Broad Street. Its architecture and engineering were significant during the periods of 1850–1874, 1875–1899, 1900–1924. The single family home is an Italianate Style Victorian design.</p><br>
<p>When Aaron Augustus Sargent brought his new bride, Ellen Clark Sargent, to Nevada City on 23 October 1852, he provided a home near the intersection of Broad and Bennett Streets, an area later referred to as Nabob Hill. Over the years, the Sargents and other renovated the home.</p><br>
<p>At one time, it was owned by physician, Dr. Carl Muller. It is currently the Grandmere&#39;s Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Landmark</h2><br>
<p>On 20 June 1980, this Nevada County building was designated as a landmark by the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Reid School is a historic school building in Bend, Oregon, United States. Built in 1914, it was the first modern school building constructed in Bend. The school was named in honor of Ruth Reid, Bend&#39;s first school principal. The building remained part of the public school district until 1979, when ownership was transferred to Deschutes County for use as a local history museum. Today, the Reid School is the home of the Deschutes Historical Museum. Because of its unique architecture and importance to the history of Bend, the Reid School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bends first schoolhouse was opened in 1887. It was located in an abandoned cabin near the Deschutes River in what is now Drake Park. That schoolhouse was replaced in 1904 by a three-story wood-frame school building located at the north end of Bends downtown area, near where the Deschutes County Court House is located today. Ruth Reid became the first principal of the 1904 school.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the people of Bend passed a school bond issue that provided $23,000 for the purchase of property and the construction of a modern public school. The school district purchased several downtown lots on the corner of Wall Street and Idaho Avenue from The Bend Company, and one adjacent lot from a local family, to create a 1.9 acre building site.</p><br>
<p>A three-story school was built on the site in 1914. The new school accommodated students from first grade through high school. It was named in honor of Ruth Reid, and she continued as principal in the new school, overseeing 241 students. Because the Great Northern and Union Pacific railroads had opened routes into Central Oregon in 1911, the community was growing rapidly. As a result, 42 of the 241 children who attended the Reid School in 1914 were new students. The Reid School continued to serve as an important part of Bend&#39;s public school system for the next 65 years. During that time, Bend grew from fewer than 1,000 citizens to more than 16,000.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, ownership of the school building was transferred from the Bend School District to Deschutes County. The county in turn, agreed to lease the building to the Deschutes County Historical Society for use as a local history museum. The historical society raised money to renovate the Reid School, and then filled the new museum with exhibits from the society&#39;s collection of artifacts gathered from around Central Oregon. Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh dedicated the Des Chutes Historical Center on July 4, 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, exterior windows were replaced, an elevator was installed, and the building&#39;s heating and cooling systems were upgraded to create a modern museum facility. Today, the center has exhibits on pioneer life, logging, forestry, transportation, education, and Native American culture. Its history library is open to the public and a small bookstore features works on Central Oregon history.</p><br>
<p>Because of the school&#39;s unique architecture and its importance to the history of Bend, the Reid School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The Reid School is a classic Richardsonian Romanesque building designed by Sweatt, Levesque and Company, an architecture firm from Spokane, Washington. Ed and George Brosterhous were the general contractors who supervised the school&#39;s construction. The school was built in the center of a 1.9 acre parcel in downtown Bend, facing Idaho Avenue. It is surrounded by lawn with concrete walkways leading to the front door. There are a number of large Ponderosa pine trees that shade the grounds, giving the area a park-like atmosphere.</p><br>
<p>The school is a three-story rectangular structure, with a footprint measuring 52 ft by 60 ft. The building rests on a concrete foundation. The structure itself was constructed of locally quarried pink volcanic tuff. However, the original pinkish color has weathered to a light brown. The central feature of the building&#39;s facade is its entryway. The imposing double-leaf doors are recessed from the front wall in a shallow vestibule. The entry is flanked on the first floor by three classroom windows on each side. The second and third story facade is dominated by tall windows with fixed panes. The roof is covered with built-up asphalt.</p><br>
<p>The Reid School was built as a modern education facility with ten classrooms, an auditorium, a central heating system, built-in electric clocks, drinking fountains, indoor plumbing, and an external fire escape system. The interior of the school is characterized by high ceilings, steep stairways, and large high-bay windows that provide natural light to the classrooms. The interior walls are lath and plaster, and are still in good condition. The original doors, moldings, and window casings are also in good condition. The original plumbing fixtures are still in use. The original boiler heating system is intact, but is no longer used.</p><br>
<h2>Ruth Reid Overturf</h2><br>
<p>Reid Schools namesake, Ruth Reid, was born in New Brunswick, Canada. She came to Bend in 1904 to teach school. Besides becoming Bends first school principal, she helped found the city&#39;s high school in 1908.</p><br>
<p>In 1910, Miss Reid married Harley J. Overturf, the office manager for the Drake Development Company. In 1916, the couple built a two-story American Craftsman-style home near the Deschutes River in what is now the Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District. The Overturfs remained in Bend until 1953, when they moved to Hood River, Oregon. Ruth Reid Overturf died in 1965.</p><br>
<p>The South School is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 6 Schoolhouse Rd. in Shutesbury, Massachusetts. It is one of two such schoolhouses remaining in Shutesbury, and is a rare example of a side-gable construction. Its date of construction is uncertain, but is estimated to be about 1830. Because of the simplicity of the building, the presence of both Federal and Greek Revival elements in its design, and the comparatively late adoption of Greek Revival styles in the rural community, the school may have been built at a later date.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse sits about 15 feet off Schoolhouse Road and 50 feet from Baker Road, with its gable end facing the street. The -story building sits on a granite slab foundation, and has a chimney on its western wall. It measures about 25.5 feet by 18 feet, and there is a shed structure attached to the east wall. The main entrance is set in the right side of the south wall. The entry leads into a vestibule area, from which there is then entry into the schoolroom. There is a closet in the northeast corner, from which a hatch provides access to the attic area. The walls of the interior have a bead-board wainscoting, with horizontal tongue-and-groove boards rising to the ceiling. The classroom floor is wide pine, while that of the entry is narrow fir strips.</p><br>
<p>From its construction until 1928 the building served as a school, and was known as the District 8 School or the Moses S. Bartlett School, after a nearby resident. Its use declined after 1881, when the town abolished its districts, but was occasionally used due to fluctuating enrollments. The district schools were permanently closed in 1928, and elementary classes were centralized. The town sold the school for $200 in 1939, and it was converted to residential use. In 1993 the property was given to the Sirius Community, a nearby spiritual and educational organization, which has since undertaken the building&#39;s rehabilitation. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The John B. Angier House is a historic house located at 129 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story timber-framed house was built in 1842 by Alexander Jackson Davis in a Gothic Revival style, and the property was originally landscaped by Andrew Downing. The owner, John B. Angier, was a prominent local schoolteacher whose pupils included Francis Parkman. The house is a rare Massachusetts example of Gothic Revival styling more commonly found along the Hudson River.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Bigelow Block is a historic commercial and residential building at the corner of Forest and Salem Streets in Medford, Massachusetts. The Victorian block was built in 1886 for the locally prominent Bigelow family; it is a four-story brick building with sandstone trim, terra cotta plaques, and copper-clad turret at the corner. It occupies a prominent position in the center of Medford, and is one of few surviving 19th century commercial buildings in the city.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Brooks House is a historic house at 309 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame house with brick side walls, each of which has two chimneys built into it. The house is estimated to have been built around 1765, early in the Federal period. It has exterior details that are now rare in Medford, including corner quoining and cornice detailing. The house is most notable, however, for its association with Rev. Charles Brooks, a prominent figure in local history.</p><br>
<p>Brooks (1795-1872) played an active role in the development of the educational systems of Massachusetts, including its normal schools. He also cowrote an early history of the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Jonathan Brooks House is a historic house at 2 Woburn Street in Medford, Massachusetts, United States. The house is estimated to have been built in the 1780s , although it may incorporate elements of an older structure. Jonathan Brooks, its owner in 1791, was a tanner and a member of the locally prominent Brooks family which owned much of West Medford at the time. The house is one of a small number of 18th century gambrel-roofed houses to survive in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Shepherd Brooks Estate is a historic property at 275 Grove Street in Medford, Massachusetts, United States. The 82 acre property is owned by the city of Medford, and managed by a trust established to preserve the property. Its principal feature is the manor house constructed in 1880 by Shepherd Brooks, a member of a prominent Medford family, and is the only major 19th-century estate to survive relatively undeveloped in the city. The grounds are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk, and tours of the house are available during the summer.</p><br>
<p>The estate was developed by Brooks, a member of the locally prominent Brooks family that dominated West Medford for many years, as a summer estate and gentlemans farm. The manor house was designed by Peabody and Stearns, and is a large red brick house, with Queen Anne styling. It has a complex roofline with many gables, and there is a porte-cochère. A carriage barn stands near the main house. The estate originally included a second summer house called Point of Rocks, built by Peter Chardon Brooks III in 1859, but this was demolished by the city in the 20th century. The city acquired the 82 acre remnant of the Brooks estate after the death of Shepherd Brooks wife Clara in 1939. After the Second World War, the city used the estate to provide housing for veterans, and in the 1960s and 1970s it was used as a nursing home. From the 1970s through the late 1980s, the Manor building was used as a group home for mentally-challenged adults.</p><br>
<p>The proposal in 1992 to erect a cellphone tower near the Shepherd Brooks Manor was controversial among local residents. The Brooks Estate Preservation Association, a citizen-led group, was formed to challenge the City of Medford&#39;s leadership. A four-year effort to preserve the Brooks Estate in perpetuity was successfully completed with the passage of the Conservation and Preservation Restriction in 1998, which permanently protected the manor, carriage house and 50 acre of land from development and cemetery expansion. Local conservationists then worked to permanently protect the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The George P. Fernald House is a historic house at 12 Rock Hill Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The Colonial Revival mansion was built c. 1895 for George P. Fernald, an architect and leading exponent of the Colonial Revival style. The house was probably designed by Fernald, possibly with the assistance of his brother Albert, who was also an architect. The house has a two-story Ionic pedimented portico that shelters an elaborate Federal-style entry, supposedly influenced by Fernald&#39;s work making drawings of the Count Rumford Birthplace in Woburn, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Jonathan Fletcher House is a historic house in Medford, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame house was built c. 1835; its builder clearly drew inspiration from designs published by Asher Benjamin, and is an excellent example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jonathan Fletcher House is located roughly midway between the village centers of Medford and West Medford, on the north side of High Street at its junction with Hastings Lane. The setting includes a period granite retaining wall, with steps and a hitching post. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a front gable roof and shingled exterior. The front facade is three bays wide, its first floor left bays sheltered by a deep porch supported by six Tuscan columns. The main entrance is in the right bay, sheltered by a glassed vestibule. A two-story ell extends to the right, its gable roof perpendicular to and lower than the main roof. The interior retains a number of original features and finishes, some of them closely copied from pattern books published by Asher Benjamin.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1835 by Jonathan Fletcher, on land that had previously seen industrial use as a tannery by the locally prominent Brooks family. There is some evidence suggesting the ell is older than the main block: documentation indicates a house was standing here in 1795, and the paneling and hearth locations of the ell are suggestive that there was once a central chimney in the structure.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Hall House is a historic house located at 43 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built c. 1720 by Andrew Hall, it is the oldest surviving house in Medford Square. The three-story wood-frame house was extensively remodeled in the Federal style in c. 1780 by Hall&#39;s son Isaac. The house also has a prominent history in the American Revolutionary War: Isaac Hall was the captain of the Medford minute company, and his house is one of the places Paul Revere stopped on the night of April 18–19, 1775 before the Battles of Lexington and Concord.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1975. It now houses a funeral home, but is being changed to a mosque in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Hillside Avenue Historic District of Medford, Massachusetts encompasses a well-preserved late 19th-century residential subdivision. It consists of fifteen properties on Hillside and Grand View Avenues, near the downtown area of the city. Most of the houses in the district are Queen Anne Victorians, built in the 1890s; there are a number of Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Shingle style homes, all dating in construction between 1875 and 1895. Of particular note is the Bela Warner house at 35 Hillside Avenue, a dramatically sited Shingle style house built 1881–82.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>

<p>The Middlesex Fells Reservoirs Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Pond St., Woodland Rd., I-93, and MA 28 in Stoneham and Medford, Massachusetts. It encompasses a portion of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, a state park managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation . The principal features of the district are three reservoirs and their associated gate houses and pumping stations, which were developed by the Metropolitan District Commission  starting in the late 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The most prominent and visible feature of the district is Spot Pond, a large body of water on the east side of Interstate 93 in Stoneham. The pond was used as a passive reservoir by surrounding towns prior to its acquisition by the MDC. The MDC replaced several town pumping stations with a single station (separately listed on the National Register in 1984), and constructed a gate house adjacent. Also found in the same area on the eastern shore of the pond is the John Bottume House, a 19th-century stone house that now serves as the reservations visitors center. The MDC also enlarged the ponds capacity, and converted it for use as a storage reservoir providing water to the communities north of Boston. There is a second gatehouse on Spot Pond, at the southern end (straddling the Stoneham-Medford line).</p><br>
<p>The MDC also constructed two smaller reservoirs within the Fells. The Fells Reservoir is located in the southeastern part of the reservation. Because it was sited in existing parkland, it was given a deliberately naturalistic appearance. It was designed by the noted Olmsted Brothers firm, and its gatehouse was built to a design by Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Oakes House is a historic house at 5 Sylvia Road in Medford, Massachusetts.

<p>The Old Medford High School is a historic high school building at 48–64 Forest Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The building presently houses condominiums and the Chevalier Theatre.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1894–1896 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, an addition was added to the building, nearly doubling it in size, due to the growth of Medford. In 1929 the north wing was constructed, followed by the south wing ten years later. In 1984, the city sold the building to a property developer to convert it into condominiums.</p><br>
<p>The Old Ship Street Historic District is a historic district on both sides of Pleasant St. from Riverside Ave. to Park Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The district is based around shipyard established in 1803 by Thatcher Magoun, which operated into the 1870s. None of the industrial shipyard facilities have survived, leaving the area as a predominantly residential area. Most of the housing in the area derives from the first few decades of the shipyard&#39;s existence, resulting in a significant number of Federal and Greek Revival houses, built roughly between 1803 and 1855.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Richard Pinkham House is a historic house at 24 Brooks Park in Medford, Massachusetts.

<p>Assington was built in 1929–1930 for George and Muriel Saltonstall Lewis, to designs by architect William Truman Aldrich (1880–1966). Aldrich in his design sought to emulate the design and setting of English country houses, and worked with New York City-based landscape designer Inno Chenti. The estate is named for the Gurdon estate in Assington, Suffolk, although its design more closely resembles Heaton Hall in Manchester. The allee leading down to the river faces the estate of Leverett Saltonstall, Muriel&#39;s brother. George Lewis was an investment advisor for a Boston investment firm.</p><br>
<p>The portion of the original estate, fronting on the Charles, was given by the Lewises to The Trustees of Reservations, and is now part of the Rocky Narrows Reservation.</p><br>
