<p>The Flagg-Coburn House is a historic house at 722 E. Merrimack Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. Built in 1926 for a local industrialist, it is the first known example in New England of the distinctive residential work of New York City architect Ernest Flagg. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Flagg-Coburn House is located in a residential area of eastern Lowell, set between East Merrimack Street to the south, and the Merrimack River to the north. It is a -story structure with an idiosyncratic plan and style. Its first-floor walls are composed of a rubblestone exterior laid around a core of concrete, and it is topped by a complex roof studded with dormers and projecting sections. Its interior layout is organized with the public rooms on the river side, and service rooms and bedrooms on the street side. Because the building lacks a basement (it was built on concrete slab poured over stone ledge), its infrastructure (heating systems and other utilities) are located in its westernmost wing.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1926 for the family of Frederick Coburn, a historian and artist from a prominent local industrial family. It was designed by Ernest Flagg, a New York-based architect, in a style he promoted as a cost-sensitive means for the design of homes for the lower and middle classes. The Coburns were interested in contemporary arts and crafts of the period, and the building is thus a somewhat anomalous design for the otherwise conventional designs for period houses in the finer neighborhoods of Lowell. The Coburns owned the house into the 1940s, and its once-rural setting has since been transformed into one of suburban character.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Fox Building is a historic commercial building in Lowell, Massachusetts. The four-story brick building was built in 1884 by Warren Fox, and is a good example of commercial Queen Anne architecture. The building is nine bays wide; brick piers rise surrounding the central bay, where the main entrance is, and rise above the level of the flat roof to form a cornice.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989; it was included in the bounds of the Lowell National Historical Park in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Howe Building is a historic commercial building at 208 Middlesex Street in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts. The four story brick building was built in 1883, and is one of the city&#39;s finest Queen Anne commercial buildings. Its architecturally prominent features include a mansard roof , and a large central stepped gable with an arched window at the center. It was built by John F. and Henry C. Howe, brothers who were heavily involved in the commercial development of downtown Lowell who also sat on the city council.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Hoyt-Shedd Estate is a historic residential estate at 386-396 Andover Street and 569-579 East Merrimack Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. The houses at 386 and 396 Andover Street are large Stick style mansions, built about the same time  and designed by the same architect. They were built for the friends and business partners E. W. Hoyt and F. B. Shedd. Together they made a fortune selling perfume and related products.</p><br>
<p>The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 1984, and was included in the Andover Street Historic District on June 2, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The F. L. Ames Gardener&#39;s Cottage is a small residential house in North Easton, Massachusetts. This building was designed in 1884 by noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson and built the following year. This building sits on the original Ames estate and was designed soon after the neighboring Ames Gate Lodge . Frederick Lothrop Ames also commissioned Richardson to build the nearby Old Colony Railroad Station. Two other notable buildings in North Easton, the Ames Free Library and Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, were also Richardson designs and commissioned by the Ames family.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the Gardener&#39;s house has been renovated and is not easily identified as a Richardson building. However the footprint and structure remain intact, including a circular tower on one corner of the house. The ivy-covered walls, long associated with this building, were removed during the renovation.</p><br>
<p>The Owl Diner, formerly known as the Monarch Diner is a historic diner at 246 Appleton Street in Lowell, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The diner was built by Worcester Lunch Car Company as #749 in 1940, and was originally located in Waltham, Massachusetts, where it operated as the Monarch Diner. In 1951 the diner was moved to its present location in Lowell. The manufactured portion of the diner is nine bays wide and four deep, with enamel wall panels and a metal monitor-shaped roof; it is a rare regional example of a semi-streamlined form. Its present center entry was probably built when the diner was moved, as was the concrete block addition in the rear which houses the kitchen and restrooms. A second addition on the diner&#39;s south end adds seating space; it was probably added between 1952 and 1966. The diner is the last (out of sixteen) that once operated in the city.</p><br>
<p>The diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>

<p>Pawtucket Congregational Church is an open and affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ.</p><br>
<p>The Rogers Fort Hill Park Historic District of Lowell, Massachusetts, encompasses the largest single residential development made in the city in the 19th century. The district includes the area historically associated with the Rogers Farm, purchased in 1805 by Zadock Rogers. His daughters sold off most of the property in two parcels in the 1880s: land to the south of their homestead was sold to the city, and most of it was developed into Fort Hill Park, while that north of the homestead was sold to developers. The district is roughly bounded by High Street, Mansur Street, Concord Road, and Lowell Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The South Common Historic District of Lowell, Massachusetts, encompasses the citys South Common and the various public, religious, and private residential buildings that flank its borders. The South Common, about 22.5 acre in size, was purchased by the city in 1845 in an auction by the Proprietors of Locks and Canals, who owned much of the citys industrial area. Although the common was landscaped, it was not apparently done so to a plan. It quickly became lined with fashionable residences, and several iconic public buildings, including the 1850 courthouse, a Romantic Revival structure designed by Ammi Young, and a series of Gothic Revival churches. Highland Avenue was built out with a series of fine Italianate houses.</p><br>
<p>Per the January, 1981 Massachusetts Historic Commission application, in the 1850s a land owner living on the east side of the proposed South Common, Patrick Manice, refused to sell his property to the City of Lowell. The city then enclosed his property, with he and his family within with a wooden fence. Friends supported Manice by slipping food through the slats of the fence. He surrendered his house in 1856 for $3500, and the parcel was subsequently nicknamed "Manices Spite". In 1905, the city built a running track a baseball field and a childrens gymnasium on the common as a city experiment.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the common, the historic district encompasses many of the surrounding buildings including:</p><br>
<p>7 residential buildings on Highland Street,7 properties on Summer Street including the Eliot Church,Eliot School on Favor Street,Hoods Laboratory (Thorndike Street) - Originally built to produce Hoods Sarsaparilla, the former Lowell Jail (Thorndike Street) later housing Keith Academy Catholic High School,St. Johns Church (Gorham Street), St. Peters Church and Rectory (Gorham Street) and, the Middlesex County Courthouse (Gorham Street).</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph&#39;s Convent and School is a historic convent and school at 517 Moody Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. The school is a three-story brick building built in 1883. Its Italianate styling includes an extended wooden cornice decorated with brackets. The convent, built in 1911, is a modestly ornmanented Colonial Revival three-story brick building. Most of the interiors of the buildings were significantly altered over the course of the 20th century, losing most of their historical integrity; however, a 2001 rehabilitation has reintroduced interior styling in keeping with the age and style of the buildings.</p><br>
<p>The parish of St. Joseph was established in 1868 by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, to cater to the religious needs of the burgeoning French-Canadian Catholic population that was one of the significant demographic groups working in Lowells mills. The school was established by the diocese in 1883 to provide French-language education to the children of these immigrants, with nuns of the Grey Nuns of the Cross as teachers. The nuns initially lived in a house on the property. By the 1890s enrollments had increased such that more space was needed, and the Saint Josephs Roman Catholic College for Boys was built on Merrimack Street, and this school was devoted to girls. The convent was built in 1911 to provide increased space for housing of the nuns teaching at these facilities. The St. Joseph&#39;s school eventually spawned three other Catholic schools in Lowell. However, by the 1980s enrollments had declined, and the school was closed in 1993. The buildings have been rehabilitated by a local nonprofit organization.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Tyler Park Historic District encompasses a planned residential development in western Lowell, Massachusetts. The development was designed by Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot, and is centered on Tyler Park; this area is the only Olmsted design in the city. It is roughly bounded by Princeton, Foster, and Pine Streets. Except for a few early houses that predate the subdivision, the area was built out between 1888 and 1936, and reflect the architectural styles popular in the period.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The F. Bradford Morse Federal Building, formerly the United States Post Office is a historic post office at 50 Kearney Square in Lowell, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by George Augustine Daidy and was built in 1930. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The building was acquired in 1996 by Middlesex Community College, which renovated the facility for $11 million. It was renamed in honor of local Congressman and statesman F. Bradford Morse on December 8, 2006.</p><br>
<p>Today, the building houses the MCC Lowell campus library, the Honors Center, and art studio and classrooms.</p><br>
<p>It is distinct from 1895 Lowell Post Office, which is also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Varnum Building was a historic mixed-use commercial and residential building in Lowell, Massachusetts. It was a four-story wood-frame structure with an angled front at the corner of Bridge and Third Streets, topped by a square cupola with bellcast pyramidal roof. It was built in 1882 by Leavitt and Daniel Varnum, who operated an insurance business on the premises, and was one of the oldest commercial buildings on Bridge Street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The building was heavily damaged in an electrically ignited fire on the morning of February 12, 2010, and was declared a total loss. It was demolished on February 18, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Worcester House is a historic house at 658 Andover Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. This vernacular Federal style farmhouse was built c. 1802 by Eldad Worcester, on land originally purchased by his grandfather, and is the oldest house on Andover Street. The area remained farmland through most of the 19th century. The house is architecturally unusual for the period, with a four-bay facade and its main entrance located on one of the sides.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and included in the Andover Street Historic District in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Varnum School is a historic former school building in Lowell, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival building was built in 1857, and was the first school built in the city&#39;s Centralville section after it was annexed to the city in 1851. The building was altered with a minor addition added in 1886, and a substantial Classical Revival addition was made in 1896. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Vacant since the 2000s, it is now owned by a developer, and is slated for conversion to housing units.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Varnum School building is set on the south side of Sixth Street, between Myrtle and Beech Streets in the city&#39;s Centralville neighborhood, located just across the Merrimack River from its central business district. It is a three-story brick structure, with two large sections joined by a smaller one. The section facing the street is a Classical Revival structure, three stories high, with a hip roof and a projecting gable-roofed center section. Its corners are articulated by brick pilasters with stone capitals, and its windows have granite sills and lintels. The third-floor windows are round-arched, while the others are regular sash. The cornice and the pedimented gable are modillioned. This section was built in 1896 to a design by Arthur M. Burtt.</p><br>
<p>Behind this section is a narrow two-story section, which joins the front section to the school&#39;s original 1857 structure, a two-story gable-roofed structure with Greek Revival styling. The slate roof is pierced by several dormers, and is topped by a cupola. A south-facing entrance is sheltered by a flat-roof portico supported by square columns. The gabled side elevations are divided by pilasters at the corners and in the center, and the gable end is fully pedimented, with a half-round window at the center.</p><br>
<p>The Centralville area was originally part of Dracut, but its proximity to Lowells business and industrial centers brought it economically and socially closer to that community. In 1851 the area was annexed to the city. A school was built near this site in the 1830s by Joseph Bradley Varnum and his son, Benjamin Franklin Varnum, who owned a boarding house on the site of this building. When built in 1857, this school was the citys first elementary school in which students were separated by grade. Population growth in the area prompted the 1886 addition of two classrooms (now the center connecting section), and the eight-room 1897 addition, which is now the dominant part of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was used as a school into the 2000s. The city sold it to a private developer, who is planning a residential conversion.</p><br>
<p>The Wamesit Canal-Whipple Mill Industrial Complex is a historic mill and canal at 576 Lawrence Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. This industrial area of Lowell, located on the Concord River, underwent a major expansion from a more modest millworks in the mid-19th century by Oliver Whipple, a manufacturer of gunpowder.</p><br>
<h2>Gunpowder mill</h2><br>
<p>Oliver Whipple was a grandson of American Revolutionary War officer James Whipple of Grafton, Massachusetts. Whipple was born in Weathersfield, Vermont, in 1794 and in 1815 he followed the Connecticut River downstream to learn gunpowder manufacturing at the Laflin mill in Southwick, Massachusetts. As the Laflin brothers moved their gunpowder manufacturing operations elsewhere, Whipple moved to east in 1818 to manage a gunpowder mill built by Moses Hale on River Meadow Brook in East Chelmsford upstream of its confluence with the Concord River. River Meadow Brook became known as Hales Brook. Whipple became Hales partner after marrying Hales daughter in 1820. Whipple undertook the construction of a canal along the Concord River to provide power for a number of mills he erected in the area, consulting with engineer Loammi Baldwin Jr. on the matter. Whipple manufactured Boston Gunpowder at the improved mill until 1855 although he began moving gunpowder manufacturing operations to a more remote location on Maines Cumberland and Oxford Canal in 1833 to minimize risks of accidental explosions and to be closer to supplies of charcoal.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The area was further developed in the second half of the 19th century by Benjamin Butlers Wamesit Power Company, which acquired most of Whipples properties and water rights. Portions of Whipple&#39;s gunpowder mill built in the 1820s are among the oldest surviving industrial structures in the city.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Wannalancit Street Historic District is a historic district at 14-71 Wannalancit St., and 390, 406 Pawtucket Street in Lowell, Massachusetts.

The most unusual house in the district is the round Jonathan Bowers House ; the oldest building is a c. 1853 vernacular Greek Revival cottage at 22 Wannalancit Street.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Square Historic District of Lowell, Massachusetts encompasses a historic subdivision laid out in 1832. The focal point of the subdivision is Kittridge Park, which lies on the eastern side of the district and was an original part of the subdivision plan developed by the Nesmith Brothers. It was the first significant residential subdivision in the city aimed at a wealthier clientele, and was designed by landscape architect Alexander Wadsworth. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and expanded slightly in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Washington Square district is located east of Lowell&#39;s central business district, across the Concord River and a short way south of the Merrimack River. Its principal intersection is that of east-west Andover Street and north-south Nesmith Street, with Kittridge Park at the northeastern corner. The district extends north, west and south from the park for a little more than one block, and consists of modest-sized houses on small lots (c. 5,000 ft&sup2;).</p><br>
<p>The area was created as a residential subdivision in 1831 by the brothers John and Thomas Nesmith, with the purchase of 150 acre. The brothers retained Alexander Wadsworth to lay out what is now called Kittridge Park and the surrounding road and lots. Early deeds for lots sold for development required the planting of trees along the street. The earliest houses built were in the Federal and Greek Revival styles, but most of the houses, built in the 1840s and 1850s, are Italianate in style. Buyers of houses in the area included supervisors and professional staff of Lowell&#39;s mills, as well as smaller-scale businessmen in the city. Two mill owners bought houses in the district: C. P. Talbot, owner of the Talbot Mills in North Billerica, and John Holt, who owned a flannel factory on Davidson Street. Some houses were built after 1860, and only a very few postdate 1900. The district largely mirrors the area of the original subdivision, with only modern intrusions excepted. It is roughly bounded on the north by East Merrimack Street, on the east by Park Street, on the south by Andover Street, except for the block of Nesmith Street immediately to its south, and on the west by High Street, whose addresses are excluded from the district.</p><br>
<p>The Wilder Street Historic District is a historic district in Lowell, Massachusetts. The section of Wilder Street between Westford Street and Branch Road contains a remarkable collection of large late 19th-century houses. About one dozen wealthy businessmen built elaborate houses in Queen Anne, Italianate, Stick, and Second Empire styles in this area, which was developed by its landowner, Charles Wilder, and it was considered one of the city&#39;s most fashionable addresses of the time.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church is a historic church building at 457 Main Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts, United States, housing an evangelical congregation. The church was built in 1892 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church is set on the west side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 28), at the northwest corner with Hancock Street, just south of the town&#39;s central business district. It is a large brick building with a roughly rectangular footprint running parallel to Main Street. The roof is gabled, with cross-gables facing Main Street, and a two-story tower projecting from the main block between them. The gable ends are finished in wood shingles. The tower is in three stages, with an entry at the first level, a tall belfry stage with paired round-arch windows, and a four-sided steeple at the top.</p><br>
<p>The Baptist congregation was established in Stoneham in 1870, and met in a chapel on Common Street until this edifice was built in 1892 on the former estate of one of Stoneham&#39;s leading shoe manufacturers. The building is relatively little-altered since then; notably, its original slate roof has been replaced by asphalt shingles.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting information</h2><br>
<p>There are a variety of activities hosted at the church in addition to the Sunday morning worship service. Visitors are always welcome - Sunday service starts at 10 am during the summer, and 11 am during the rest of the year.</p><br>
<p>Heritage Square is a place in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Owned and maintained by The Womans Club of Fayetteville, Heritage Square includes the Sandford House, built in 1797; the Oval Ballroom, a freestanding single room built in 1818; and the Baker-Haigh-Nimocks House, constructed in 1804. The buildings located on Heritage Square are listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the "Fayetteville Womans Club and Oval Ballroom" and "Nimocks House."</p><br>
<h2>Sandford House</h2><br>
<p>The Sandford House, built in 1797, is the showcase home of Heritage Square. The Woman&#39;s Club of Fayetteville purchased the home in 1946, and currently maintains and furnishes the Sandford House in keeping with its Antebellum roots. The Sandford House exhibits classic Colonial (Georgian) architecture. Its interior features eight spacious rooms divided by hallways and ornamented with exquisite mantles, doorways and moldings. The exterior wears trim of a hand carved rope design under the eaves.</p><br>
<h3>Historical ownership of the Sandford House</h3><br>
<p>Mark Russel originally owned the land on which the house stands.</p><br>
<p>John McLeran built the home.</p><br>
<p>Duncan McLeran purchased the home from John, his kinsman. Duncan McLeran was one of the first elders of the historic Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville.</p><br>
<p>In 1804, John Adam purchased the home. Sarah Donaldson Adam, John&#39;s wife, also links to the Presbyterian Church because her father donated the land on which the church was built.</p><br>
<p>In 1820, under new ownership, the Sandford House was transformed into the first federal bank in North Carolina.</p><br>
<p>In 1832, John William Sandford (the current namesake and former Philadelphian) purchased the building and made it a home with Margaret Halliday, his new wife. According to local legend, Sherman&#39;s troops used the house as barracks during the Union occupation of Fayetteville in March 1865. "The Civil War Trail" runs through the backyard of the Sandford House today.</p><br>
<p>In 1873, former Confederate Captain John E.P. Daingerfield purchased the home. Elliot Daingerfield, John&#39;s son and renowned North Carolina artist, lived here throughout his teenage years.</p><br>
<p>Around 1897, A.H. Slocumb (of Massachusetts), husband of Lillian Taylor (a Fayetteville belle) purchased the home. A.H. Slocumb worked in Fayetteville&#39;s naval stores with the A.E. Rankin Company.</p><br>
<p>Around 1919, W.H. and Clara E. Walston(e) Powell, Sr. (both of North Carolina) purchased the Slocumb (now Sandford) House. The Powells were engaged in business, civic, religious and political interests in the City of Fayetteville during this time. The Powells and their children, Dr. William Henry Powell, Jr., Major General USAF and E. Louise Powell Varnedoe (Mrs. M.D. Varnedoe, Sr.) lived here until 1941. The Powell-Varnedoe family was the last family to privately occupy and use this house as their home.</p><br>
<p>From 1941 to 1945, The Woman&#39;s Club of Fayetteville leased the Slocumb-Powell (now Sandford) House from The Powell-Varnedoe Family and then exercised an option to purchase the property in 1945.</p><br>
<h4>Captain John E.P. Daingerfield</h4><br>
<p>After the Civil War, ex-Confederate Captain John E.P. Daingerfield (originally from Arkansas) bought the property.</p><br>
<p>Daingerfield served as a clerk at the Harpers Ferry arsenal in 1859 during John Brown&#39;s raid. Captain Daingerfield took rank June 10, 1861 and transferred to Fayetteville as munitions and equipment were transferred to the Fayetteville Arsenal from Harpers Ferry that same year.</p><br>
<p>Maj. John C. Booth, commanding officer at the Fayetteville Arsenal, appointed him military paymaster and storekeeper, prestigious jobs in the Army. Daingerfield served in the 2nd Battalion Local Defense Troops, commonly referred to as the Arsenal Guard, and occupied the house with his wife Matilda and his four children - one of whom became a celebrated painter of North Carolina.</p><br>
<h4>Elliot Daingerfield</h4><br>
<p>Elliot Daingerfield was born in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and raised in Fayetteville. At age 21 he moved to New York to study art. Elliot was inspired by the European Symbolist movement during his time overseas. His influences included Impressionism and Romanticism in general and the artist Ralph Albert Blakelock. Today, the "Daingerfield Room" occupies the entire South Parlor of the Sandford House.</p><br>
<h4>The Woman&#39;s Club of Fayetteville</h4><br>
<p>The Womans Club rented the Sandford House from 1941 to 1945 to provide a home for unmarried working women flooding into the city during World War II. At one time, 30 young, single women, a housemother and hostess packed the second-floor bedrooms, which were converted into dormitory-style living spaces. The Womans Club also provided space for any other womens organization to meet in the house free of charge in an effort to accommodate the towns growing need for social outlets.</p><br>
<h2>The Oval Ballroom</h2><br>
<p>The Oval Ballroom is now a freestanding room with octagonal architecture outside and a large (20-foot × 30-foot) oval interior highlighted by plaster cornices and pilasters. Originally, the ballroom was an add-on to the Halliday-Williams House in Fayetteville, North Carolina; the Halliday-Williams House was demolished in the mid-1950s. The Oval Ballroom is an example of Regency architecture.</p><br>
<h3>Historical ownership of the Oval Ballroom</h3><br>
<p>Source:</p><br>
<p>Robert Halliday, an immigrant from Galloway, Scotland, built the house to which the ballroom was later attached in 1808. He lived there with his wife, Catherine (Kitty) McQueen Halliday, and their family until he died in 1816.</p><br>
<p>Catherine married Judge John Cameron after Robert Hallidays death. The Cameron family erected two similar octagonal wings onto the home. The room on the north side of the house was built specifically for the reception and ball following the 1830 wedding of Margaret, Roberts daughter, to John Sandford. This room eventually became "The Oval Ballroom."</p><br>
<p>In 1847, The Camerons began renting the house. One notable character, Mrs. Ann K. Simpson, occupied the home during its rental period.</p><br>
<p>In 1870, John D. Williams purchased the house for his son, Captain Arthur Butler Williams.</p><br>
<p>Sometime prior to 1930, Fanny Williams, Captain Butler&#39;s daughter, inherited the home. She transformed the house into The Colonial Inn which became a popular tourist stop in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. M.B. McLean, Fannys niece, inherited the home. She donated the Colonial Inns "dining room" (previously the Camerons "north room") to The Womans Club of Fayetteville.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1950s, The Woman&#39;s Club of Fayetteville renamed the now freestanding room as "The Oval Ballroom" and moved it to its current location on Heritage Square.</p><br>
<h4>Mrs. Ann K. Simpson</h4><br>
<p>Ann K. Simpson, accused of murdering her husband, was the first woman tried for murder in Cumberland County, North Carolina. She was found not guilty in this trial. However, Ann was found guilty and executed when she stood trial for murdering her third husband while living in Minnesota. During the Minnesota trial, the early, untimely death of her second husband was also called into question.</p><br>
<p>"The Oval Ballroom" is the dining area in which Ann served her first husband his (allegedly) arsenic-laced dessert of syllabub and coffee in the presence of two witnesses.</p><br>
<h4>Fanny "Fan" Williams</h4><br>
<p>Fan Williams operated The Colonial Inn, known for its southern cuisine and hospitality.</p><br>
<h2>Nimocks House</h2><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The Baker-Haigh-Nimocks House, built in 1804, is an example of Georgian architecture, perfectly balanced and symmetrical inside and out. The Nimocks House exhibits a proportional, classical, and "regular" style. "Regular" styles are defined by mathematical ratios (such as the golden mean) that are used to determine every measurement from the floor layout to the width to height ratio of the windows. Georgian Style homes were typically painted red, tan, and/or white if not constructed from brick or stone.</p><br>
<p>It is a -story, five-bay, frame dwelling. It sits on a brick pier foundation and features a one-bay-wide, one-story porch supported by Doric order columns.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>New England ship builders often wintered in the south during this time period. Their unique building style probably explains the unusual barrel staircase design in the Nimocks House. In addition, the hand-carved cornices, wainscoting, mantels, and hand-punched gouge work are beautifully detailed and typical of the period.</p><br>
<p>The front entrance features a fan light, and the light fixture at the top of the staircase was planned for use in the state capital building if Fayetteville had remained the capital.</p><br>
<p>The two upstairs rooms feature dormer windows and individual fireplaces.</p><br>

<p>Fort Hancock and the Sandy Hook Proving Ground Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District that includes Fort Hancock and the Sandy Hook Proving Ground on Sandy Hook in Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark on December 17, 1982. It is part of Gateway National Recreation Area, administered by the National Parks of New York Harbor office of the National Park Service.</p><br>
<h2>Sandy Hook Proving Ground</h2><br>
<p>Sandy Hook Proving Ground was founded in 1874 for the testing and development of artillery. It served in this role until 1918-19, a period which included the nations rise to a position of global power. Weapons developed here were deployed for use both as coastal defenses elsewhere in the United States, and by the United States Army for field use. Surviving buildings associated with its use include test batteries, magazines, and a gun park, as well as bombproof observation structures and target platforms. The Sandy Hook property also includes an early life saving station built by the United States Life-Saving Service (a predecessor to the United States Coast Guard), and the 1764 Sandy Hook Light, the nations oldest working lighthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Fort Hancock</h2><br>
<p>Fort Hancock is the name given to the series of coastal defenses located at Sandy Hook. As it overlooks the approaches to New York Harbor, the area has been of military importance since colonial days, and has been home to a succession of defense establishments. Most of the surviving structures date to the Endicott Period beginning in the 1890s, when the area was formally named Fort Hancock. Earlier surviving structures include a single bastion from a fort dating to the period of the American Civil War. Completed in 1868, the fort was declared obsolete in the 1890s and most of it was torn down to reuse its stone. Although most of the surviving structures at the fort date to before World War II, the grounds also includes a Nike missile site from the 1950s Cold War period.</p><br>
<p>Roberts Hall was the first building of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University, built 1905–1906, and demolished July 1990. A second building of that name was built in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Original building</h2><br>
<p>New York state legislation provided $125,000 for the construction of a building for the newly designated New York State College of Agriculture. named for director of the College of Agriculture from 1874 to 1903, Isaac Phillips Roberts. Kennedy-Roberts Hall was built in 1989 to replace Roberts-Stone Halls.</p><br>
<p>The 1906 building is still listed on the National Register, apparently erroneously as nothing remains of the building. East Roberts Hall and Stone Hall are similarly listed.</p><br>
<h3>Condemnation and demolition</h3><br>
<p>In 1973, Franzen and Associates, the architectural firm that was designing Cornell&#39;s statutory college buildings at that time, conducted a study indicating that Roberts, East Roberts, Stone, Caldwell and Comstock Halls were unsafe and should be condemned. Franzen concluded that it would cost $14 million to renovate the five buildings and that it would be cheaper to tear them down and replace them with new buildings, presumably designed by Franzen. (Ironically, as of 2010, Caldwell and Comstock Halls are still in use, but another Franzen-designed building, the north wing of Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, had to be demolished as structurally unsound.) By 1978, the cost of demolishing the five buildings and building two replacements had escalated to $18 million. In response, two groups, Historic Ithaca and a student-group called the "Ag Quad Preservation Society" applied to list the five buildings on the National Register and sought to protect them under a newly enacted Ithaca historic preservation ordinance. Just before Historic Ithaca could gain a court injunction to stop the demolition of Roberts, East Roberts and Stone Halls, Cornell began the demolition of Stone Hall in February 1986. The State of New York renovated Caldwell and sold Comstock back to Cornell for use as a computer center.</p><br>
<p>Citing the legal precedent of Stone Hall, the State University officials proceeded with the demolition of Roberts Hall and East Roberts Hall in July 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Kennedy-Roberts Complex</h2><br>
<h3>History</h3><br>
<p>Construction of what was originally known as Academic I began in May 1987 on the end of the Ag quad, on the site where Stone Hall formerly stood. The architect was Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, which also designed its companion Academic II as well as Frank Rhodes Hall at around the same time. By February 1990, Academic I was completed and hosting academic and cultural events in its 600-seat auditorium. The building contained classrooms, offices, the Departments of Communication Arts and Education, and the Landscape Architecture Program. It was soon named for W. Keith Kennedy, agriculture dean from 1972-1978, and provost from 1978-1984.</p><br>
<p>Academic II contained the Department of Entomology, biology laboratories, and Media Services, and was named for professor and Agriculture school dean Isaac Roberts.</p><br>
<p>The formal dedication of the connected structures as Kennedy Hall and Roberts Hall took place September 6, 1990.</p><br>
<h3>Description</h3><br>
<p>Kennedy Hall and the ″new″ Roberts Hall are one large complex, joined together with access between each through the ground floor and the fourth floor. On the first floor of Kennedy Hall is the David L. Call Alumni Auditorium, also known as 116 Kennedy Hall. The Call Auditorium juts out from Kennedy Hall to the east. Outside, to the north of the auditorium, is a small plaza, complete with seating and an area of shrubs and trees in a large planting bed directly abutting the building. The planting was designed and executed in the spring of 2011 by students in a cross-listed landscape architecture (LA) and horticulture (HORT) class as part of their curriculum. The class, LA/HORT 4910/20 — Creating the Urban Eden: Woody Plant Selection, Design, and Landscape Establishment, was co-taught by Peter J. Trowbridge and Nina Bassuk.</p><br>
<p>Stone Hall was a building on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, named after John Lemuel Stone, a CALS professor of farm practice during the early 1900s. Stone, Roberts, and East Roberts Hall were three joined buildings on the Agriculture Quadrangle, with the larger Roberts in the center and Stone and East Roberts on the west and east sides, respectively. The three buildings made up the original New York State College of Agriculture, built 1905–1906. The three were demolished in the late 1980s, despite the efforts of the City of Ithaca and local preservationists to save the buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Controversy over demolition</h2><br>
<p>The State University of New York determined that the three buildings were in poor and deteriorating condition. A 1973 study conducted by State University of New York suggested that renovation would cost over $14 million. Instead, they planned to first raze Stone Hall to make room for a new administrative building to be called Academic I. After Academic I&#39;s completion, the state planned to raze Roberts and East Roberts to build a new plant sciences building.</p><br>
<h3>Legal battles</h3><br>
<p>Local preservationist group Historic Ithaca, in an attempt to save the building, had the structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, as well as designated a city historic landmark. Starting in 1982, the city and Historic Ithaca launched a series of lawsuits and appeals in an attempt to block demolition. The city argued in court that the buildings could not be altered without approval from the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission.</p><br>
<h3>Demolition</h3><br>
<p>On February 10, 1986, about "one tenth" of Stone Hall was demolished, ahead of the late February date which was expected. A state Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order, pointing out that a demolition permit had not been granted by the city. In July 1986, a State Supreme court judge ruled that state college campus buildings are not protected by local preservation orders. After standing partially-demolished for much of the year, the remainder of the building was removed in December 1986. Construction of "Academic I" (now known as Kennedy Hall) began in May 1987.</p><br>
<p>Citing the legal precedent of Stone Hall, the State University officials proceeded with the demolition of Roberts Hall and East Roberts Hall in July 1990.</p><br>
<p>East Roberts Hall was a building on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, which opened on Wednesday, October 10, 1906. Originally just referred to as the Dairy Building, it was not called East Roberts Hall until 1923 when other departments moved in and the Dairy Department moved out and into the new Dairy Building. East Roberts Hall was demolished along with Roberts and Stone Halls ca 1987-1988.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Armco-Ferro House, in the Century of Progress Architectural District in Beverly Shores, Indiana, was originally constructed for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. "The... Exposition opened in May of 1933 directed by the theme of science and its role in industrial advancement. Within the Home and Industrial Arts Group were model houses, which featured modern materials, building methods and innovative home appliances, including the Armco-Ferro-Mayflower, Wieboldt-Rostone and Florida Tropical houses, and the House of Tomorrow. All utilized new techniques of design, construction and prefabrication in an attempt to bring the out-of-date housing industry in line with more efficient manufacturing practices such as those used by the auto industry." The Home and Industrial Arts Group was the most successful venue of the Exposition.</p><br>
<p>The Armco-Ferro House was designed by Robert Smith, Jr., of Cleveland, Ohio. It is the only remaining example from the exposition that met the Fair Committee&#39;s design criteria; a house that could be mass-produced and was affordable for an American family of modest means.</p><br>
<h2>Spatial Organizations</h2><br>
<h3>External</h3><br>
<p>This seemingly frameless house boasts a revolutionary construction system: corrugated steel panels that are bolted together. This system resembles a typical cardboard box. The corrugated panels are clad with porcelain-enameled steel panels produced by the Ferro Enamel Corporation. This construction system later provided the inspiration for the post World War II prefabricated housing developed by the Lustron Corporation.</p><br>
<h3>Internal</h3><br>
<p>Armco-Ferro House is based on a traditional four-square. There are four rooms on the first floor and four rooms on the second. The four-square allows for cross ventilation in all weather and all seasons. The original garage was open for the 1933 fair season and enclosed for the 1934 fair season, becoming a study. A porch was added the second year</p><br>
<p>The living room of the Armco-Ferro House as it was decorated for the 1934 fair season. The furnishings for this season were very traditional – the spaces were not cluttered with too many pieces as in 1933.</p><br>
<p>The dining room of the Armco-Ferro House as it was decorated for the 1934 fair season. The furnishings were very traditional, as was the use of a wood wainscot detail. Note however that the lighting did not change from that used in 1933.</p><br>
<p>The kitchen of the Armco-Ferro House as it was decorated for the 1934 fair season; looking toward the laundry room. The only changes that can be discerned from the 1933 season are the use of a Masonite "tile" wainscot, the "picture frame" pattern in the linoleum, and the cabinet/appliance layout.</p><br>
<p>The dining room of the Armco-Ferro House as it was originally decorated for the 1933 fair season. The decorators thought "outside the box" when designing this room. Rather than using it solely as the dining space they created two use areas. The dining table was set on an outside wall under a window, and in the opposite corner they placed a card table for recreational purposes.</p><br>
<p>The boy&#39;s room of the Armco-Ferro House as it was originally decorated for the 1933 fair season. The furnishings for this season were very modern with rectilinear lines and details. Two unusual pieces of furniture for the time period included the hanging bunk bed, and the bookcase, which doubled as the stair for the bed.</p><br>
<p>The house is a contributing property to the Century of Progress Architectural District.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration efforts</h2><br>
<p>Restoration efforts on the Armco-Ferro House were started in 1997, with the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana searching for potential leasees to restore the building.</p><br>
<p>As of October 2011, the restoration of the home is near completion. The home is open one day annually in the fall for tours, along with the other Century of Progress homes nearby (all except one having been restored or restoration in-progress).</p><br>

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The house is also registered with the Arizona State Historic Buildings registry.
