<p>Garbuttsville Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at the hamlet of Garbutt in the town of Wheatland in Monroe County, New York. It is one of the earliest surviving cemeteries in Monroe County and is an intact country cemetery that reflects the history of the once thriving industrial hamlet of Garbuttsville . It also illustrates the development patterns of small vernacular cemeteries through the 19th century and prevalent styles of modest and middle class grave monuments from that period. There are approximately 570 graves with most graves dating prior to 1920.</p><br>
<p>John Garbutt (ca. 1779–1855) is buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Our Lady of Victory Roman Catholic Church, also known as Our Lady of Victory / St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, is a historic Roman Catholic church located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It was designed by noted Rochester architect Andrew Jackson Warner and is a French Romanesque Revival style brick cruciform plan church built in 1868. It features two slender towers with concave roofs, a recessed entrance inside a single-story protruding section, and a semi-circular stained-glass window.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Roos House in Natchez, Mississippi was built in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination provided a strong recommendation for the significance of the house:</p><br>
<p>The Roos House is one of the finest examples of early twentieth-century residential architecture in Natchez. The Colonial Revival and Art Nouveau detailing of the house is so well and unusually executed that it sets the house apart from its contemporary Victorian counterparts. The house is also symbolic of the rise to prominence of the Jewish community in Natchez, a Southern town that was culturally, socially, intellectually, and economically dominated by its Jewish citizens from the post-Civil War years to the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>The Church of Our Most Merciful Saviour, also known as the Santee Mission, built in 1884, is a historic Carpenter Gothic style Episcopal church located on the Missouri River in the Santee Indian Reservation in Santee, Nebraska. Although its side windows are not arched, it otherwise exhibits all the common features of Carpenter Gothic churches: board and batten siding, lancet windows on the front along with a circular rosette window, belfry tower on the side and main entrance on the side though the belfry tower.</p><br>
<p>On March 16, 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>It is one of two churches in Nebraska included in the Santee Mission of the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota. It is served by the Rev. Patricia White Horse Carda.</p><br>
<p>The Mary E. Surratt Boarding House in Washington, D.C. was the site of meetings of conspirators to kidnap and subsequently to assassinate USA President Abraham Lincoln. It was operated as a boarding house by Mary Surratt from September 1864 to April 1865.</p><br>
<h2>About the house</h2><br>
<p>The building, at 604 H Street NW, standing three-and-one-half stories tall, was constructed by Jonathan T. Walker in 1843. It has been described as being in the Early Republic or Federal style or in the "vernacular Greek Revival" style. It stands on a lot measuring 29 x. The building is 23 ft wide, facing directly onto the sidewalk on the south side of the street, and has a depth of 36 ft. The building was altered in 1925 to use the first floor as a commercial space.</p><br>
<p>John Surratt purchased the house from Augustus A. Gibson on December 6, 1853, and operated it as a boarding house. After her husband died in 1862, Mary Surratt chose to rent her tavern/residence in nearby Surrattsville, Maryland, to John M. Lloyd, a former Washington, D.C., policeman and Confederate sympathizer and moved into the Washington boarding house.</p><br>
<p>In 1865, the military tribunal trying the conspirators of Lincoln&#39;s assassination heard testimony from residents at the boarding house that Surratt had regularly met with John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln conspirators at the house. Lloyd told the tribunal that Surratt had told him to provide field glasses and guns to Booth and co-conspirator David Herold. It was based on this evidence that Surratt was convicted and sentenced to death. For her role as a member of the Abraham Lincoln assassination conspiracy plot, she became the first woman to be executed by the United States federal government. She was executed by hanging.</p><br>
<p>The building, now in the center of the Chinatown of Washington D.C., was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 2009. The listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service&#39;s weekly list of August 28, 2009.</p><br>
<p>In April, 2011 the house gained some attention with the release of a film about Mary Surratt, The Conspirator by director Robert Redford., the commercial space is used as a restaurant, with karaoke rooms available.</p><br>
<p>The Old Statehouse Historic District is an area in downtown Frankfort, Kentucky near the old State Capitol and the Old Governors Mansion. The area is bounded by Broadway Street, Blanton Street, St. Clair Street, Ann Street and High Street and contains 74 historic buildings. The historic district was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The district "represents an old, stable, and diversified middle-class neighborhood whose residents have serviced the government and the city throughout its existence."</p><br>
<p>The district includes:</p><br>
<p>the Old State Capitol (1827–30), "a hexastyle structure built of local stone" designed by Gideon Shryock, separately listed on the National Register in 1971</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s A.M.E. Church</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church (1904), Clinton St., whose congregation was formed of black members in 1833 out of what is now the First Baptist Church on St. Clair.</p><br>
<p>The district was entirely included and subsumed in the Central Frankfort Historic District, which was created in 2009. The larger districts nomination included additional information regarding the Old Statehouse Historic Districts area.</p><br>
<p>Wheatland Baptist Cemetery, also known as Belcoda Cemetery, is a historic cemetery located at Belcoda in the town of Wheatland in Monroe County, New York. It is the earliest cemetery in the town of Wheatland and contains the graves of many of the earliest settlers and prominent residents of the town. It contains stones that date from 1811 to the present, ranging from simple carved early stones to more elaborate mid- and late-Victorian monuments.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Episcopal Church of the Advent / St. Johns Chapel is an historic Carpenter Gothic style Episcopal church building located at Franklin and Washington streets in Cape May, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. Its board and batten siding, steep roofs, lancet windows and rose window are distinguishing features of Carpenter Gothic style architecture, although it lacks the usual belfry tower front entrance. Designed by the architect Henry Sims, it was built by Richard Soder beginning in 1865 for St. Johns Chapel, a "summer chapel", which had been organized two years earlier. It was not consecrated, however, until 1871.</p><br>
<p>In 1950, St. Johns merged with the Episcopal Church of the Advent, which had been formed in 1899 to serve the needs of local Episcopalians during the other three seasons of the year. The new congregation took the name Episcopal Church of the Advent / St. Johns Chapel. It is an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey. Its rector is the Rev. H. Alan Leonard. The Rev. Daniel Hall is assisting clergy.</p><br>
<p>The Episcopal Church of the Advent / St. John&#39;s Chapel is a contributing property in the Cape May Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Delaware County Courthouse is located at 91 N Sandusky St, Delaware, OH 43015 in Delaware, Ohio. The courthouse was placed on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Delaware County was established in 1807 by an act of the Ohio General Assembly. The county seat was placed at Berkshire until 1808 when Delaware was founded and successfully petitioned to be the county seat. The courts met in various locations until a courthouse was built in 1815. The building cost the county $8,000 and was a simple one story building. The building contained fire walls to protect the structure from burning, but a fire struck the building towards the end of the 1800s forcing the county to rent a different location.</p><br>
<p>A new courthouse was chosen and planned in 1868 in the Italianate style and designed by Robert N. Jones. The courthouse cost the county $80,000 to build. In 1996, the county renovated the courthouse for six months at a cost of $500,000.</p><br>
<p>The county is faced with a growing population and a new Justice Center is currently under construction. That building is scheduled for completion and occupancy in August or September 2017. The General and Domestic Relations Divisions of the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas will move to the new building as will the Public Defender&#39;s Office, the Delaware County Clerk of Courts, the adult probation office, and a meeting room for the grand jury. The county has announced plans to renovate the historic courthouse, and a facilities use study is underway to determine which county offices will occupy the building once renovated.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The square two-story structure is built of red bricks. The main facade contains a central projection capped with a pediment. The door sits in a recessed alcove and is contained within an arch faced with stone blocks. A window above contains two thin arched windows within an arched recess. To either side of the projection are two arched windows, the lower windows being shorter with squat arches and the top floor containing longer fully arched windows. Each window is surrounded by decorative stone casings. The hipped roof rises to a central square drum supporting a dome topped by a statue of Justice. A wrought iron railing runs around the drum and arched windows light the floors below.</p><br>
<p>The Cambridge Historic District is located in an irregular pattern along streets in the village of Cambridge in Washington County, New York. It is a 105 acre area reflecting the extent of the village when it was first incorporated in the 1860s and its subsequent development in the years the Rice Seed Company, largest in the world at the time, was located here.</p><br>
<p>Many of the districts 240 buildings date to the 19th century, with a few 18th-century structures and modern intrusions. Among its contributing properties are the Rice Seed Companys headquarters, a late Victorian opera house and a church with Tiffany interiors and stained glass windows. In 1978 it was designated a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1978, it included 198 contributing buildings and one other contributing site.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The district is built around the axis of East and West Main Streets (NY 372 west of North and South Park Street (NY 22), and Washington County Route 67 east of it to just beyond Gilbert Street (NY 313)), and North and South Union Streets (also the dividing line between the towns of Cambridge and White Creek). Some adjacent buildings with addresses on cross streets of Main, including North and South Park Street (NY 22), that front on Main, are included.</p><br>
<p>The area is mostly flat, reflecting the nearby presence of the Owl Kill, a tributary of the Hoosic River which flows through the district in a controlled channel at a small park on the south side of West Main between Pearl Street and Memorial Drive. The tracks of the former Delaware and Hudson Railroad run through the district along Railroad Avenue, dividing Main Street into east and west. The land is densely developed. Most of its buildings are frame houses.</p><br>
<p>Commercial buildings in the district are concentrated on the blocks of West Main between Pearl and Park, and again at the Union Street intersection. There is plenty of residential infill on Main, and a few churches. The 16 non-contributing modern properties within the district are commercial and governmental properties such as a gas station, supermarket and post office, mostly on Main Street near the two major intersections.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The settlement of the future village began in the 1760s, after the resolution of the French and Indian War had made it safe to settle in the previously contested frontier area north of Albany. In 1761, Cadwallader Colden, the colony&#39;s surveyor general and acting governor, was involved in the purchase of the Cambridge Patent, part of which was soon conveyed to a group of six partners, his son among them. The provisions of the purchase agreement required that governments be elected by the landowners, that one family for each 1,000 acres (400 ha) be settled and own land outright within the patent within three years, and that 200 acres (80 ha) be set aside for a minister and schoolmaster. These conditions made it possible for a democratic society of free landowners to develop on the patent.</p><br>
<p>The area was especially desirable for settlers because of the great extent of flat and arable terrain around the Owl Kill (although the creek could not be used for mills since it thus generated no power). Few records of the earliest settlement on the land exist because of the long dispute over the land between New York and neighboring Vermont. It is believed that many early settlers came from Scotland and Northern Ireland, because of the early success of the Presbyterian churches in the village.</p><br>
<p>After the Revolution, settlement increased again. The earliest surviving house in the district, and the village, is the Dorr-Randall House on East Main Street, built in 1779. It is one of several proto-Federal style houses from this postwar period scattered around the district. An academy was organized in 1800. It no longer remains, but its boarding house on West Main has been converted into apartments.</p><br>
<p>As the 19th century progressed, three distinct settlements emerged within the area: Cambridge, Dorr Corners and North White Creek, all around crossroads. Early turnpikes connected them with markets to the south, near today&#39;s Troy, and at Burlington in the north. Flax and sheep farming were introduced, providing raw material for early textile mills in the nearby cities and small towns like Hoosick Falls and Bennington.</p><br>
<p>The Champlain Canal improved these connections in 1825. It provided enough of an economic stimulus that two new churches could be built: a Methodist church in 1838 (rebuilt in 1861) at 47 East Main, and the village&#39;s Baptist church, at 3 West Main, in 1844.</p><br>
<p>Almost three decades later, in 1852, the Troy and Rutland Railroad was built through the town, and a station established at the center of the then-hamlet of North White Creek. Fourteen years later, the three decided to merge into the village of Cambridge. For this reason many of the village&#39;s streets intersect at odd angles, even today.</p><br>
<p>The years that followed were the villages economic peak, as reflected by the mid-century architecture of most of its houses. Another church, St. Lukes, was built in the year of incorporation, with a Tiffany interior and windows. The railroad led to some industrial development, and the construction of Hubbard Hall at 25 West Main in 1878 reflected Cambridges new importance. The strongest catalyst for development was the establishment of the Rice Seed Companys headquarters in the village in 1879. Its warehouse and accompanying office building, completed in 1895, are at 15 West Main. Founder Jerome Rice&#39;s home is across the street at 16 West Main.</p><br>
<p>By the turn of the century, Rice was the largest seed company in the world, employing 200 people locally. Over the 20th century, changes in the national and regional economies adversely affected Cambridge. Traffic on the canal slowed down, and in the middle of the century the Adirondack Northway was opened to the west in Saratoga County, displacing the canal as the region&#39;s main transportation artery. Rice closed in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Significant contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>Dorr-Randall House, 151 East Main Street. Built in 1779 for a prominent local physician, its intricate carved ornamentation indicates an owner of considerable economic means for the time. It is considered one of the finest Federal style buildings in the county.</p><br>
<p>Hubbard Hall, also known as the Old Opera House, 25 West Main Street. One of Cambridge&#39;s major landmarks, this Second Empire building was constructed for theatrical performances in 1878. Still in use as a cultural center.</p><br>
<p>Rice Seed Company Warehouse and Office Building, 15 West Main Street. Cambridge&#39;s major employer of the late 19th century built the warehouse in 1879 and the office in 1895.</p><br>
<p>St. Lukes Church, 4 St. Lukes Place. This 1866 church features Tiffany interior work and windows.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Unlike most other municipalities with historic districts in the state, Cambridge has not done anything specific in its zoning to preserve the district&#39;s historic character. There is no separate board or commission charged with the task. In 2009 it adopted a new zoning code which recognizes several different types of residential uses within the village and provides for a future historic overlay district.</p><br>
<p>The Henry J. Wheeler Farm is a farmstead in Murray, Utah, United States, that is one of the few remaining late 19th century farmsteads in the Salt Lake Valley that has not been lost to expanding housing developments of metropolitan Salt Lake City. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic complex, situated on 75 acre, includes an adobe and brick home and several outbuildings, all constructed in 1898. There are, in addition to the home, a granary, ice house, chicken house, and work shed. A barn, also built in 1898, burned down in 1973. Together, this complex of buildings, along with the fences, trees, stream, ice ponds, roads, constitutes one of the few complete and operating historic farmsteads in the county. It is currently operated as the Wheeler Historic Farm by the Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation Department.</p><br>
<p>The farm was established by Henry J. Wheeler, the third son of English Mormon converts, who came to Utah in 1852. Born February 18, 1866, Henry grew up on his fathers farm in the South Cottonwood (now Murray) area. In 1886, at the age of twenty, he married Sariah Pixton and established his own farm in the vicinity of his fathers farm. The present brick home and several outbuildings were constructed in 1898 by Sid Gills and Hans Yorgensen. A Mr. Hayes, employed by the Sugar House Lumber Company, was the carpenter for the interior woodwork. The home, according to the 1902 publication, Biographical Record of Salt Lake City and Vicinity, "...was planned by Mrs. Wheeler and reflects great credit upon her knowledge of architecture, as it is not only homelike and convenient, but one of the prettiest little farm houses to be found in the county.”</p><br>
<p>The house was built upon a granite foundation, the interior walls were made of adobe, much of which was taken from a previous residence, while the exterior walls were of ochre brick, later painted white. The Wheeler home is Victorian in style. The building is roughly L-shaped and has an entry tower at the nexus of the L, there were eleven rooms in the house. The bottom floor had a pantry, kitchen-dining area, and formal dining room, bathroom, living room, parlor, large staircase and hall. Upstairs were four bedrooms with walk-in closets and one large central storage closet. The interior was distinguished by its fine fireplaces, high ceilings, cherry and oak woodworking and staircase.</p><br>
<p>In 1969 Salt Lake County purchased the 75 acre which comprise todays farm. Wheeler Historic Farm was placed on both the Utah State and National register of Historic Places in 1976. Originally started as a 1976 project of the United States Bicentennial of the American Revolution, the restored museum farm evolved into several buildings including a blacksmith shop, store, and reconstructed barn. An amphitheatre was installed in the 1980s, followed by a large "activity barn" in the 1990s that would function as a multi-purpose center. In the 2000s, Salt Lake County purchased remaining farmland south of the farm to create South Cottonwood Regional Park. Wheeler Farm is fully functional with farm animals and crops that are overseen by Utah State Universitys outreach programs. Granite School District uses the farm as an agricultural classroom for some of its vocational programs.</p><br>

<p>Roanoke Park is a 2.2 acre park between the north Capitol Hill and Portage Bay neighborhoods in Seattle, Washington. It occupies the block bounded by E. Edgar and Roanoke Streets on the north and south and 10th Avenue E. and Broadway E. on the east and west, just northeast of the junction of State Route 520 and Interstate 5.</p><br>
<p>The park was named by David T. Denny and Henry Fuhrman after Roanoke, Virginia. It was bought by the city of Seattle in 1908.</p><br>
<p>The Cordenio Severance House is a mansion in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, United States, built for attorney Cordenio Severance . The mansion, also known as Cedarhurst, was first built as a simple country farm house shortly after the American Civil War. It was expanded in 1886 to serve as the summer residence of the Severance family. Between 1911 and 1917, additions designed by architect Cass Gilbert expanded the house into a mansion with 12,000 ft&sup2; and 26 rooms. The Cordenio Severance House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for its local significance in the themes of architecture and law. It was nominated for its association with Cordenio Severance, a leading attorney in Saint Paul, Minnesota, from 1887 to the 1920s, and for being an example of a grand country estate. The mansion now serves as an event venue.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Cordenio Severance House has two Neoclassical columned porticos, a 100 ft veranda, a formal ballroom with a pipe organ, three fireplaces, and an English rose garden.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cordenio Severance was well-connected politically. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and William Howard Taft all visited the mansion, and Central Intelligence Agency meetings were once held in the library. The mansion also hosted international policy meetings.</p><br>
<p>The house is now owned by True Thao and his family. They have restored the mansion, which hosts weddings, receptions, and business meetings.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office in Hoosick Falls, New York, is located on Main Street a block south of downtown. It is a brick building erected in the mid-1920s, serving the 12090 ZIP Code, which covers the village of Hoosick Falls and surrounding portions of the Town of Hoosick.</p><br>
<p>It took the government nine years to build after the land was acquired. One of several similar post offices in New York built at that time, it has retained its historic integrity better than some of the others. In 1988 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only post office in Rensselaer County besides Troy&#39;s with that distinction.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The post office is located two blocks from downtown Hoosick Falls, just outside the villages historic district. It is also located on the west side of Main Street, across from a small park and Hoosick Fallss village hall. A three-story mixed-use building, a contributing property to the historic district, is to the north. To the south, on the opposite corner of a small street, is a residence converted to commercial use. The post office&#39;s parking lot is on its west, with a small strip of lawn and flagpole between it and Main on the east. The ground slopes gently to the west.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story, five-by-five-bay building of wire-cut brick, rectangular with a non-contributing loading dock added to the rear. Its raised foundation is also brick, with a stone water table. At the roofline a limestone cornice is topped with a brick parapet with limestone balusters above the front bays.</p><br>
<p>The east (front) facade has a centrally located main entrance flanked by two windows on either side set in shallow arched recesses. The entrance has a modern aluminum double door with original wooden transom inside a pair of fluted limestone Ionic pilasters topped by a plain entablature in which "USA POST OFFICE HOOSICK FALLS, N.Y. 12090" is carved. Two small windows are on either side. Above it is a denticulated triangular limestone pediment. Concrete steps with iron railings lead up to the entrance, with a wheelchair ramp coming in from the north.</p><br>
<p>On the north and south, the center bays have paired windows with segmental arches and brick lintels. The corner windows are identical to those on the front. Window wells let light into the basement. The rear has three original windows and the flat-roofed central wing with the loading platform.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the lobby, reached through a long vestibule with bulletin boards, is minimally decorated. The mosaic tile floor is white with a green border. Above black marble baseboards, the walls have wooden wainscoting rising to a plaster cornice at the high ceiling. Two single-paned windows with top and bottom pivots are located just below the ceiling. There are two original wooden tables with glass tops.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1913 Congress authorized the construction of the new post office in Hoosick Falls, which had grown extensively during a late-19th century period of industrialization as factories and textile mills tapped the power of the Hoosic River flowing through the village. It had previously been in rented quarters on Church Street (NY 22), a block from its current location.</p><br>
<p>The authorization was followed by appropriations in the next Congresses, through 1919, making a total of $80,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) available. After the first one, the federal government purchased the land in 1916 for $13,451 ($ in contemporary dollars).</p><br>
<p>It took seven years until the post office was designed in 1923. Construction began the following year, and the new building was opened in 1925. The design is credited to the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore, and chief architect Louis A. Simon.</p><br>
<p>The Hoosick Falls post office is one of a group of six similar post offices built in New York State around the mid-1920s. They all show the strong classical influences on the style, with symmetrical front facades with recessed arcading and pediments and pilasters as ornamentation. Two of them — Owego and Waterloo — are listed on the Register as well, while the other three (Cohoes, Saranac Lake and Walden) are not due to loss of integrity. A similar design was used for the Lyons post office six years later.</p><br>
<p>In 1956, the loading dock was added to the rear. Other than that, there have been no other significant additions to the building.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Mason Raymond House  is a Tudor Revival house located in the Portage Lakes area of New Franklin, Ohio.</p><br>
<h2>History and architecture</h2><br>
<p>The 20-room, 2½ story, brick and stucco mansion sits on 5.8 acres, adjacent to Portage Lakes State Park, and has 335 ft of frontage on the west shore of Turkeyfoot Lake.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Good & Wagner, an Akron architectural firm best known as the designers of the Akron YMCA Building. The Frank Mason Raymond House was constructed and given to Raymond and his wife, the former Zeletta Robinson, as a wedding present from his grandfather, Frank H. Mason, who was a senior executive of the B. F. Goodrich Company and had his large summer mansion adjacent to this house. The mansion, which once housed a nursing home, has since been torn down. The couple were married on December 28, 1927, and lived at Mason&#39;s neighboring mansion, Brighton Farms, for the 13 months while their home was being built. They continued to live at the Tudor House until they built a home in Bath Township.</p><br>
<p>Consisting of 1,700 acres, Brighton Farms was one of the largest estates in the Lakes area. In 1954, 500 acres of the estate were sold to the State of Ohio for the Portage Lakes State Park.</p><br>
<p>The Tudor House was later rented by Goodrich Vice-President, George Vaught, and his family. Then, in 1943, prominent Akron jeweler Henry B. Ball and his wife, Helen, bought the mansion. They lived there for 25 years with their children, Skip and Betty (Mrs. Dick Walter). Betty was married at the mansion. From 1968 to 1974, Akron contractor Robert Fabbro and his family of six children occupied the mansion. In 1974, it was sold to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In July 1977, a 50-year lease was signed with the State for the facilities to be used as a civic center. Under the direction of the Franklin Park Civic Center Commission, it is the site of numerous community activities.</p><br>
<p>It is a distinctive example of the Tudor Revival style of architecture, with its arched doorways, carved wood staircase, prominent Tudor arch fireplace with oak paneling, and exposed beams in the living room. The exterior also reflects Tudor design in its gabled front entry with stone trim, massive stone and brick chimneys, slate roof with prominent cross gables, and copper gutters. The gardens include an embanked grotto, constructed of stone.</p><br>
<p>The Foreign Mission School was an educational institution which operated between 1817 and 1826 in Cornwall, Connecticut. It was established by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The ABCFM was focused on sending missionaries to non-Christian cultures, mostly overseas.</p><br>
<p>The school was intended to educate students of non-Christian cultures, including Native Americans, in Christianity and Western culture so that they might become missionaries and emissaries to their own peoples. It had students from Hawaii, India and East Asia, in addition to those of Native American tribes primarily from east of the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was called a seminary, "for the purpose of educating youths of Heathen nations, with a view to their being useful in their respective countries", according to Jedidiah Morse.</p><br>
<p>The school was established in the last few months of 1816, and opened in May 1817. The first principal was Edwin Welles Dwight (1789–1841). After the first year, Dwight was replaced by Reverend Herman Daggett, who ran the school for the next six years.</p><br>
<p>Dwight was a distant cousin of the Yale president in 1817, Timothy Dwight IV. Daggett was nephew of Naphtali Daggett, who had been president of Yale College.</p><br>
<p>A total of approximately one hundred young men from Native American and other non-English indigenous peoples were trained at the school. The school&#39;s goal was for them to become missionaries, preachers, translators, teachers, and health workers in their native communities.</p><br>
<p>According to Morse,</p><br>
<p>From its founding, the school rapidly became a symbol of American Protestant Christianitys Second Great Awakening and expansion of missionary efforts, especially in New England. It also connected the small farm town of Cornwall in Connecticuts Litchfield Hills to the early 19th century&#39;s clash of civilizations areas of interest to the US and Great Britain. It had students from Hawaii, India, and Southeast Asia, in addition to Native Americans. According to a 1929 article, Cornwall had been chosen as the site for the school because the town residents were believed committed to the missionary cause. They were thought ready to donate their efforts, money, and property to the cause.</p><br>
<p>Henry Opukahaia, the school&#39;s first pupil, was an 18-year-old Native Hawaiian who had been working as a sailor on a US merchant ship but was abandoned in 1810 in New Haven, Connecticut by his ship. He traveled widely to promote the school, but died in Cornwall in 1818 at 26 before he could return home. He recruited four more Hawaiians, including one known as George Prince, who reportedly had fought in the War of 1812. The school printed a pamphlet with their stories to raise money. Samuel F. B. Morse, son of Jedidiah, painted their portraits. Other students came from distant countries, as well as several Native American tribes, primarily from those east of the Mississippi River. Some 24 different native languages were spoken at the school.</p><br>
<p>In its first year, the school had twelve students; seven Hawaiians, one Hindu, one Bengali, a Native American, and two Anglo-Americans. By the second year, there were twenty-four; four Cherokee, two Choctaw, one Abenaki, six Hawaiians, two Chinese, two Malays, one Bengali, one Hindu, and two Marquesans, as well as three Anglo-Americans.</p><br>
<p>Principal Daggett observed in a letter to Morse that, in contrast to the Native American students, three of the students from the Pacific Islands had become ill and "fallen a sacrifice". He attributed their deaths to the different, colder climate. He mused that "it is probable, that Divine Providence intends this school to be chiefly useful to the Aborigines of this country."</p><br>
<p>The students followed a demanding schedule: in addition to mandatory church attendance, prayer, and 7 hours of daily coursework, they did field work, as the school raised much of its own food. The classical program of study included astronomy, calculus, theology, geography, chemistry, navigation and surveying, French, Greek, and Latin, in addition to practical courses such as blacksmithing and coopering.</p><br>
<h2>Local relationships and marriages</h2><br>
<p>In time, public doubt began to build in Cornwall and the mission community about the purpose of the school, and support began to wane. But the major catalyst against it were the marriages of two Cherokee students (high-ranking cousins in their tribe) to local European-American girls. Concern about potential marriages of other such interracial couples generated strong animosity to the school among local residents.</p><br>
<p>Leaders of Native American tribes who sent their sons there had their own concerns. The Five Civilized Tribes of the Southeast, and others, had a matrilineal kinship system. Status and property passed through the maternal line. Therefore children born to Native fathers and white mothers would have no place in the tribe and would not be considered members. This jeopardized tribal leadership, as the young men sent for education were being groomed to become leaders in the tribes and continue to have major roles, along with their children.</p><br>
<p>After these two marriages, other interracial relationships developed, and at least two students were dismissed by the school. But local opposition grew: the school closed in 1826 or 1827, and townspeople burned it down.</p><br>
<h2>Native American students</h2><br>
<p>Sons of some of the most prominent Native American leaders of the time were educated at the Foreign Mission School. They were often of mixed ancestry, typically with Native American mothers and white fathers, reflecting the tribal history of interaction with whites in the Southeast and unions with white traders and others. Because these tribes had matrilineal kinship systems, these youth were raised in the tribes, considered born to their mother&#39;s clan and people, whether Cherokee, Choctaw or other. Later, a number of such young men became distinguished leaders as adult members of their nations in the rising generation. Tribal leaders had wanted them to learn more about European Americans and their culture in order to prepare for such leadership roles.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 1818 three Cherokee and a Choctaw youth enrolled in the school. In his report, Morse stated that there were twenty-nine students in the school in 1820, half of whom were Native American youths from the leading families of five or six different tribes.</p><br>
<p>Native American students include:</p><br>
<p>David Brown (Cherokee, one-quarter white on his father&#39;s side); his half brother was a chief and judge. He assisted in developing a spelling book for the Cherokee as well as a Cherokee grammar. He later became a notable public speaker, studied Hebrew and divinity, and attended Andover School. A leader in the Cherokee nation, he served as clerk of a delegation to Congress.</p><br>
<p>James Fields (Cherokee), a kinsman of Brown, became a planter and major landowner, known to take care "of his considerable property."</p><br>
<p>Leonard Hicks was a son of Chief Charles Renatus Hicks, the first Cherokee to convert to Christianity, and considered the most influential man in his nation. After Leonard became homesick and left the school, he served as clerk of the Cherokee nation.</p><br>
<p>Tah-wah (Cherokee, renamed David Carter) was a grandson of Nathaniel Carter of Killingworth and Cornwall. David&#39;s father (also named Nathaniel Carter) grew up in Pennsylvania. He and his sisters were taken captive as children by Cherokee after their parents were killed in the Wyoming Valley massacre c.1763. His sisters were ransomed and returned to family in Connecticut, but Nathaniel was adopted by a Cherokee family and became assimilated, remaining with the tribe. He married a Cherokee woman, and their children included Tah-wah, or David. David was dismissed from the school at the time of the marriage scandals. (see below). He later became an editor of the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper, the first established by a tribe, and a judge of the Cherokee Supreme Court. He died about 1863.</p><br>
<p>John Vann (Cherokee) was the son of a European American, Clement Vann, and his Cherokee wife Mary Christiana, who had converted to Christianity. He attended FMS from 1820 to 1822. He also later served as an editor of the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper.</p><br>
<p>McKee Folsom and Israel Folsom (Choctaw), sons of Nathaniel Folsom and a Choctaw wife, were the first Choctaw recorded at the school, which they attended from 1818 to 1822. Their family was very prominent in their nation. They later assisted in creating a Choctaw alphabet, preparing Choctaw school books, and translating the Scriptures to Choctaw.</p><br>
<p>Adin C. Gibbs (Delaware), was from Pennsylvania and had white ancestry in his paternal line. He attended the school from 1818 to 1822. He later spent many years as a teacher and missionary among the Choctaw.</p><br>
<p>Holbochinto (Osage, renamed as Robert Monroe), was a relative of Tally, Chief of the Osage Nation, which was still located in its traditional territory in what became Missouri. He attended the school from 1824 to 1826, financially supported by the Foreign Mission Society.</p><br>
<p>Wah-che-oh-heh (Osage, renamed as Stephen Van Rensselaer, after General Stephen Van Rensselaer III, president of the United Foreign Mission Society which supported him financially) was also a relative of Chief Tally. He attended FMS from 1824 to 1825. He remained in Cornwall for a time after the school closed. He later studied at what is now Miami University in Ohio. In 1832 he was one of five alumni from FMS to act as missionary helper. Later he served his tribe as an interpreter and blacksmith.</p><br>
<p>John Ridge (Cherokee), a student at the school in 1819, was a son of Major Ridge, who was a commander of Cherokee forces that were allied with the US in the Seminole War. Suffering from a problem with his hip, he was nursed for two years by the family of John P. Northrup, steward of the school. Ridge and a daughter of the family, Sarah Bird Northrup, married in 1824. This union was opposed by local citizens. Ridge subsequently became a prominent leader of the Cherokee nation.</p><br>
<p>Kul-le-ga-nah (renamed Buck Watie. He chose the name Elias Boudinot after Elias Boudinot, who sponsored him at the school in 1818.) Boudinot calculated the date of the lunar eclipse of August 2, 1822, using only the information supplied in his textbook. He became engaged to marry Harriet R. Gold in 1825; she was another Cornwall girl. This marriage was bitterly opposed by the bride&#39;s family and the citizens of Cornwall, who burned the couple in effigy. They married nevertheless.</p><br>
<p>Miles Mackey (Choctaw), had a white father. He attended the school from 1823 to 1825, and was dismissed "for a proposed matrimonial union", as was James Terrell (Osage).</p><br>
<p>Both Cornwall residents and leaders of the Native American nations generally opposed these marriages. But, the Cherokee recognized that times were changing. In order to ensure that the Ridge and Boudinot descendants would be members of the Cherokee nation, the Cherokee changed their rules of tribal membership to accommodate these marriages. Otherwise, in their matrilineal society, the children of these white mothers would not be considered Cherokee and would have no place in the tribe. The leaders had been grooming Ridge and Boudinot for leadership roles in the tribe. In addition to the marriage issue, leaders of some of the Southeastern tribes became concerned that residence in the northern states was harming the health of their students. Support for the school rapidly dwindled, until it was closed in 1826 or 1827.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The Foreign Mission School and the issues of interracial marriage (of white women by Cherokee men) was dramatized in an episode of the PBS American Experience television series in 2009.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 Yale historian John Demos published The Heathen School: A Story of Hope and Betrayal in the Age of the Early Republic, a historical narrative about the school that included modern perspectives about the cultural issues.</p><br>
<p>The Stewards House, the only relatively unaltered remnant of the schools historic Cornwall campus, is now a private residence. In 2016 it was designated a National Historic Landmark in recognition of the school&#39;s significance.</p><br>
<p>The Murray Downtown Historic District is located in the historic city center of Murray, Salt Lake County, Utah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, with a boundary increase in 2020.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is significant for its association with the development, particularly economic and social, of the community from a rural outpost to an industrialized city with a remarkably urban core in its commercial district. Murray is one of only a few towns in Utah and the only community in the Salt Lake Valley, other than Salt Lake City, to have substantial mixed commercial/residential development with resident population living in the upper floors of commercial buildings. The population of Murrays urban center was remarkable for its integrated mix of Utah-born residents and recent immigrants attracted by the smelter industry. The tight urban streetscape along State Street between approximately 4800 South Street (formerly Murray Boulevard) and Vine Street is a distinctive reminder of the heyday of Murrays commercial importance in the south-central part of the valley. The district is also significant as an urban streetscape and for the architectural variety and quality of the individual buildings, three of which were individually listed on the National Register. Many of the buildings are particularly noteworthy as examples of the evolution of the modern Main Street, in Murrays case, State Street. Between the 1920s and 1950s, the storefronts of numerous buildings were updated to reflect the changes in Americas architectural tastes. The contributing buildings represent Murray&#39;s major historic construction phases, and have good integrity for the historic period, which ranges from 1897 to approximately 1956. The commercial business district is a companion to the Murray Downtown Residential Historic District, which abuts the business district on the east and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The district includes three buildings previously listed on the National Register of Historic</p><br>
<p>Places: the Warenski-Duvall Commercial Building and Apartments; the Iris Theater (Desert Star Theater), Apartments, and Commercial Building; and the Murray Theater.</p><br>
<p>The Forest Dale Historic District is located in the southeastern part of Salt Lake City, Utah and is roughly bounded by 700 East, Interstate 80, Commonwealth Avenue, and 900 East. It includes the "cohesive core" of the Forest Dale Subdivision platted in 1890, as well as the larger Town of Forest Dale, which was incorporated on January 6, 1902, disincorporated in the fall of 1912, and reabsorbed into the city of Salt Lake City. Both the subdivision and town were created by George Mousley Cannon , a member of the Cannon family, a prominent Intermountain West political family. The land for Forest Dale was originally Forest Farm, which Cannon had bought in 1889 from the estate of Brigham Young. Despite being bordered on 2 sides by major traffic corridors and on a third by a major arterial highway, the district "maintains its historic "inner-ring" suburban quality due to its tree-lined streets, uniform setbacks, and the similarity of scale in the housing stock." Forest Dale Golf Course is just southeast across I-80, and Fairmont Park is just to the east, separating Forest Dale from downtown Sugar House. The S Line  includes two stops near Forest Dale and Parley&#39;s Trail runs along the streetcar line. The streetcar and trail opened in late 2013 and early 2014, respectively.</p><br>
<p>On April 23, 2009, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). One of the most significant buildings in the district is the George M. Cannon House, which is listed separately on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The Officer Daryl R. Pierson Memorial Post Office Building is a historic post office building located at East Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It was designed and built 1936–1937, and is one of a number of post offices in New York State designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, Louis A. Simon. The one story brick building is in the Colonial Revival style and has a roof crowned by a flat topped cupola. The entrance features fluted Doric columns and a blind fanlight with sculpted eagle. The interior features a mural titled "Recreation Hours" by Bernard Gussow.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. In 2015, the post office was named for Daryl Pierson, an East Rochester native and Rochester police officer who was killed in the line of duty the previous year; the building was officially dedicated on June 4, 2016.</p><br>
<p>Richardsons Tavern is a historic Erie Canal inn and tavern located in the hamlet of Bushnells Basin in Perinton, Monroe County, New York. Believed to be the only remaining establishment from the canals earliest years, it dates to about 1818 when it was a stop on the stage coach route along the Irondequoit Valley and Irondequoit Creek, between Rochester and Canandaigua. Several expansions occurred during the 19th century. The tavern operated as a hotel until 1917 when it was converted to four apartments. In 1978, after having been abandoned since 1972, it was converted for use as a restaurant, Richardsons Canal House. The restaurant opened on Valentine&#39;s Day 1979. It has become one of the most noted restaurants in the county, and has even garnered nationwide recognition.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Soldiers Memorial Tower is a historic war memorial located at Brockport in Monroe County, New York. It was built in 1894 and is a commemorative monument to memorialize the town of Swedens Civil War dead and marked the location of a small plot of land set aside for the free interment of local veterans. At one point, the grounds held the remains of more than twenty individuals, though precise records were not kept; all but a few have since been moved to other locations.</p><br>
<p>The round tower originally stood 52 ft tall—though about a quarter of that height has been lost to erosion and damage over time—and is a Medina sandstone structure in the Late Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, by which time it was already in significant disrepair. (listing #94000332 - 8 Apr 1994) The listing has been the only lasting result of the effort&mdash;begun around 1960&mdash;to restore the monument, though the event did not serve as the catalyst that supporters had hoped.</p><br>
<p>Soon after in 1995, the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) department at nearby SUNY Brockport began an educational/community service program to raise awareness of the Tower among ROTC students. Led by (then) Captain John McClellan, students received one additional credit hour when enrolled in the basic military science curriculum by participating in several hours of community service related to the Tower. The objective of the program was to research the names on the Tower, highlight their service records in the 140th New York Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War, and to hopefully connect with living descendants of these individuals as an eventual fundraising strategy. As these students already studied the Battle of Gettysburg as part of their leadership and military history curriculum, the text "Sons of Old Monroe - A Regimental History of Patrick ORorkes140th New York Volunteer Infantry" by Brian Bennett, was used in this program. The program was discontinued sometime after 1997.</p><br>
<p>Fundraising to help restore, or at least stabilize, the structure continued to be extremely weak. In December 2012, the trustees of the Brockport Rural Cemetery Association reached an agreement to transfer the monument and its 17 surrounding acres to the Town of Sweden, which intends to build a firehouse on the site. The Town intends to invest funds to stabilize the structure and make it safer, but it does not have the funds for a full restoration.</p><br>
<p>The George M. Cannon House, built in 1890, is an historic Late Victorian mansion located at 720 East Ashton Avenue  in the Forest Dale area of Salt Lake City, Utah. It was designed by noted Salt Lake architect John A. Headlund for George Mousley Cannon , a member of the Cannon family, a prominent Intermountain West political family. In 1889 George M. Cannon had bought Forest Farm from the estate of Brigham Young and created the subdivision of Forest Dale and later the larger town of Forest Dale, which existed from 1902 until 1912, when it was reabsorbed into Salt Lake City. Brigham Young&#39;s Forest Farmhouse was moved in 1975 from its location near this house to the This Is The Place Heritage Park for restoration.</p><br>
<p>On July 18, 1983, the George M. Cannon House was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It is the only separately listed property in the Forest Dale Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on April 23, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The George M. Cannon House was the Parrish Place Bed and Breakfast, so called because each of its guest rooms is named for a different Maxfield Parrish painting. Its previous owners are Jeff and Karin Gauvin, whose 2006 quest to purchase the house was featured on HGTV&#39;s House Hunters. Reruns of the program have been shown as recently as October 19, 2009.</p><br>
<p>Recently, the house has been sold a family who want to restore the home. They have been working on the house improving on parts that are in need of repairs and more. their family name is "Petersen".</p><br>
<p>The Hoosick Falls Historic District is located in the downtown section of the village of that name in New York, United States. It is an eight-acre  area concentrated along Church, Classic and John streets  south of the Hoosick River.</p><br>
<p>Most of its 40 buildings remain largely intact from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period when Hoosick Falls was economically prosperous due to the mills and factories that drew on the river and its power. In 1980 it was recognized as a historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The district is shaped roughly like an upside down letter "L", around the axis of the three streets Route 22 follows through that area of the village. It starts in the south with the properties at 59 and 60 Church Street, a few lots north of Elm Street. Just north of the post office it moves west to take in the properties on the west side of Main Street, then the properties on the east side of Main at the John Street intersection.</p><br>
<p>It continues along the south side of Classic Street to the east line of the properties one lot west of where High Street carries 22 north toward Cambridge. From there it continues north to the river, then west along its bank to Church Street. At Classic it extends westward to include the properties on the west side, and then returns to where it began.</p><br>
<p>In this area there are 40 buildings. Many are commercial or mixed-use multistory structures dating from the 1880s to the 1920s. Only one is a modern intrusion. Most are in the predominant styles of their era, primarily Italianate and Second Empire, with a few Georgian Revival structures from the 20th century. The few residences are mostly in the Stick-Eastlake style of the late 19th century. Open space consists of a few vacant lots and one parking lot.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hoosick Falls was first settled by two men from Connecticut just before the Revolutionary War. After the war, they built a gristmill on the river and the first bridge. In 1827, a half-century after its founding, the settlement was incorporated as a village.</p><br>
<p>Other entrepreneurs from New England came to the village to set up textile mills along the river as well. The most prominent manufacturer in the village, Walter A. Wood, came in 1836. He patented a mower 17 years later, in 1853, and began manufacturing both mowers and reapers. After the Civil War, his company, the Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Manufactory, moved into an old cotton factory on the north side of the Hoosick. Four years later a new facility had to be built.</p><br>
<p>Woods company became the worlds leading manufacturer in its product line by the end of the century. At its peak it employed 2,000 local residents, and Wood served two terms as a member of the House of Representatives for the district. He built the large three-story Wood Block, which dominates downtown Hoosick Falls. The company eventually closed in 1924 after competition from John Deere&#39;s motorized equipment, fires and other means of generating power for business made it less profitable.</p><br>
<p>Whiteside, Barnett and Co. Agricultural Works, also known as Canal-Front Warehouse, was a historic factory and warehouse complex located at Brockport in Monroe County, New York. It was a largely intact and rare surviving example of the brownstone industrial building that once lined the banks of the Erie Canal at Brockport. It was the last surviving building related to the local reaper manufacturing industry. The buildings were built between 1850 and 1852 for the Agricultural Works in Brockport, later known as Whiteside, Barnett and Co. The property was later used as a lumberyard from about 1880 to 1904 and as a cannery until 1945.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Red Hook, Brooklyn developer Greg O&#39;Connell, who had recently revitalized the business district of Mount Morris, New York, expressed an interest in the property in early 2014, feeling that it could spark a similar revitalization in Brockport. In 2024, the buildings were demolished after a storm caused the roof to collapse.</p><br>
<p>Lower Mill is a historic grist mill located at Honeoye Falls in Monroe County, New York, USA. The 3- to -story stone structure was built about 1829. The mill operated into the 1930s, and the structure was subsequently used by a creamery, oil company, and for community use. A restaurant and gallery now operates in the structure.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Phoenix Building, also known as the Phoenix Hotel or Pittsford Inn, is a historic inn and tavern located at Pittsford in Monroe County, New York. It is a Federal style structure built around 1820 to serve stage passengers. It later served passengers along the Erie Canal. The building operated as a hotel until the 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Early Twentieth Century newspaper references states that a hotel or inn was built on the site in 1807 by Glover Perrin in 1807, that this business played host to Dewitt Clinton when the New York Governor and others were scouting Western New York for a route for the Erie Canal, and that the original structure burned down and was replaced by the current structure, built by John Acer in 1820-1821.</p><br>
<p>The building was known as the Phoenix Hotel in the 19th Century In the 1820s the hotel was a stage coach stop for lines passing through Pittsford from Canandaigua N.Y. and Palmyra, N. Y.</p><br>
<p>In 1826, the anti-Mason activist William Morgan was taken from his jail in Canandaigua and stopped at the hotel for a meal, before being spirited away to Canada. The Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette stayed at the hotel in 1824, and members of the Vanderbilt family passed by (by stage coach) in 1837.</p><br>
<p>William E. Edmonds of Rochester NY wrote that during the election of 1860, Frederick Douglass was scheduled to speak to Republicans in Pittsford NY. The meeting was to be open air, but due to rain it had to be moved indoors. According to Edmonds, racist opponents of Douglass rented the hall of the Phoenix Hotel and locked it all day, depriving him of the only assembly hall in the town, but Douglass made his speech in a nearby warehouse. Two newspaper references state that the “it is said” the hotel was a stop in the Underground Railroad, but this claim may need further verification.</p><br>
<p>The famous racewalker Edward Payson Weston passed through Pittsford in his 1867 walk from Boston to Chicago, but was said to have been denied dinner at the Phoenix, the proprietor taking him for a tramp. He passed through again in 1922, in a walk from Buffalo, New York to New York City, at age 84, and was greeted by public officials and the Pittsford Town Band.</p><br>
<p>The hotel had multiple owners, as many as 29 between 1807 and 1929. Owners have included, besides Perrin and Acer (who sold out around 1839), William Hicks, Henry M. Eckler (1879), and Daniel and Adam Finucane (1883). After being owned and run as the Phoenix by Frank Zornow, the hotel was renamed Tyler&#39;s Inn in 1921, when it was purchased by George L. and Harold L. Tyler for $21,000, who then sold it to Cowen and Knight, then sold for $65,000 to Morris Kaplan in 1925, then sold to E. A. Comstock. The hotel was renamed the Pittsford Inn in 1929.</p><br>
<p>The restaurant took on a Bavarian theme in 1933 with Otto Thurn&#39;s Bavarians orchestra. While some newspaper references state the hotel was renamed “Old Heidelberg”, that was actually the name of the restaurant, and advertising styled the business as “Old Heidelberg at the Pittsford Inn”from 1934 to 1950.</p><br>
<p>John F. Wegman, co-founders of the Wegmans markets, leased the property by 1932 and lived there as his home by 1935. After Wegman&#39;s death in 1950, his estate sold the building to James Randall of the Randall Development for $56,000 in 1951. Two fires damaged the building by 1957, and it was abandoned and empty. Andrew Wolfe, of the Wolfe Publications, purchased the building in the 1960s, making it the home of the Brighton Pittsford Post. It is currently a private office building. (</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>

<p>The McPhail Angus Farm is a farm at 320 Coyote Trail near Seneca, South Carolina in Oconee County. It is also known as the Tokena Angus Farm. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district on November 7, 2007. It was named because of its significance to the transition from a nineteenth-century cotton farm to a twentieth-century, Upstate, cattle farm.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Augustus McPhail (1876–1961) purchased the original 150 acre farm in 1902. The property is believed to be a portion of the Revolutionary War patriot Samuel Earle&#39;s Beaverdam Plantation. Additional parcels were acquired to give the farm 468 acre by 1931.</p><br>
<p>Walter Hoolu McPail (1901–1979), the eldest son, was born in Sandy Springs, South Carolina and moved to the farm in 1902. He went to elementary school at Tokeena School No. 1, which is now on the farm property. He attended Townville High School. Walter McPhail&#39;s purchase of a heifer when he was eight years old began his lifelong interest in cattle. Although he started at nearby Clemson College, he came home in the spring for cotton planting.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1920s, the price of cotton dropped significantly due to overproduction and the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Many left the farm for textile mill villages and temporary work with the Works Progress Administration or other New Deal public works projects. Many farms dependent on cotton were in financial trouble.</p><br>
<p>In 1936, W.H. McPhail purchased his first registered Angus cows. This led to the development of one of the first black Angus herds in South Carolina. In 1939, he planted fescue grass using seed from an Anderson County test plot to provide cool weather pastures for his cattle. Eventually fescue was grown for both cattle feed and as a seed crop. Thus, in the course of generation, the farm made the transition from being a cotton farm to a cattle and seed production farm.</p><br>
<p>The farm has been named a South Carolina Century Farm by the Pendleton District Commission. Its Angus herd has been named a National Historic Herd by the American Angus Association.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the farm had 249 acre including 194 acre in the historic district.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>There are eight contributing properties that define the historic and architectural nature of the McPhail Angus Farm. Since this is a working farm, there are additional non-contributing structures that are more recent additions and changes to the farm.</p><br>
<h3>John A. McPhail House</h3><br>
<p>The John A. McPhail House was constructed about 1943. It is a one-story brick house on a poured concrete foundation. The door and window casings are unfinished pine boards sawn from trees harvested on the farm. The house was modified in the 1950s with a new entrance door for a beauty shop. This door was replaced in the 1990s with a French door. Another front entrance was added around 1962 and replaced in 2000. In 2007, the house was still occupied.</p><br>
<h3>Jack Robinson tenant house</h3><br>
<p>This is one-story, wood board and batten house that was built around 1890. It rests on stacked rocks. The house has no interior wall covering. Although it now has windows, it probably just had openings that may have been covered with parchment or oiled rawhide. It has two rooms and a central brick fireplace. The ceilings, most of the interior walls, and the chimney are whitewashed.</p><br>
<h3>Norris tenant house</h3><br>
<p>This is similar board and batten house. The interior walls are largely covered with bead board panels. Some the panels are whitewashed. Others and the ceiling are natural brown. The house has four square rooms and a wide porch across the width of the house. The brick fireplace is whitewashed up to the level of the mantel.</p><br>
<h3>Mule/cattle barn</h3><br>
<p>This barn was probably built around 1886. Originally, it had unpainted clapboard siding with a metal roof. In its early days, the barn housed mules used on the cotton farm. The top floors of the barns were used for storing hay. In the early 1940s, a new section was added for the farm&#39;s cattle. Some mule stalls were replaced with feeding troughs. In 1968, the siding was replaced with flush poplar boards, which were painted red. In the early 1990s, the roof was coated with tar.</p><br>
<h3>Fertilizer/truck shed</h3><br>
<p>This frame shed was probably built around 1900. Its first purpose was for the storage of cotton by the sharecropper families prior to ginning and for the storage of commercial guano fertilizer. Later it was used for farm trucks. It was constructed of wood with a metal roof. The exterior was whitewashed. After the roof collapsed in the early 1960s due to heavy snow, the shed was reconstructed. Side sheds were added for additional farm trucks. As of 2007, the shed was still used for storing farm trucks and equipment.</p><br>
<h3>Corn crib</h3><br>
<p>This wooded corn crib with clapboard siding and a metal roof was built around 1900. Corn shucks were stored on the ground floor. Oats for the mules were stored in the upper level.</p><br>
<h3>Chicken coop</h3><br>
<p>This frame chicken coop has clapboard siding and a metal roof. It has an open covered side. The open part had nest boxes. The enclosed part was for newly hatched chicks. This had a wood-fired heater to keep the chicks warm until they grew feathers. The former chicken coop is now used for equipment storage.</p><br>
<h3>Terraced agricultural fields</h3><br>
<p>The terraced fields were constructed when the land was used for cotton. Now they are planted with fescue, clover, and Bermuda grass for the cattle. The terraces follow the natural contours of the hills to prevent soil erosion. The original fences were woven wire with a strand of barbed wire on the top. Ford Model T body rails were used for corner posts. Many of these have been replaced recently.</p><br>
<h3>Non-contributing structures</h3><br>
<p>Being a working farm, there are modern structures built in the 1960s or later. A large flat top barn was built on the foundations of Tokeena School No. 1, which was later used as the Walter H. McPhail house.</p><br>
<p>Rochester Savings Bank is a historic bank building located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It is a four-story, V-shaped structure, sheathed in Kato stone from Minnesota. It was designed by McKim, Mead and White and built in 1927 to house the Rochester Savings Bank. The building&#39;s banking room interior features murals painted by noted artist Ezra Winter.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the building was acquired by a group called Rochester Historic Ventures, which then set out to seek occupants that would allow the building to return to public use.</p><br>
<p>In October 2012, Rochester Institute of Technology announced the creation of a Center for Urban Entrepreneurship, to be housed in the Rochester Savings Bank building. The university planned to spend $3&ndash;5 million on renovations, eventually resulting in a multidisciplinary center and multiuse venue for RIT students. In 2016, after the lengthy renovation of the building, the Center for Urban Entrepreneurship opened.</p><br>
<h2>Institutional history</h2><br>
<p>The bank was established in 1831 as the first savings (as opposed to commercial) bank west of Albany, New York. The bank moved to its own building on State Street in 1842, to a second on Main and Fitzhugh Streets in 1857, and to its final building in 1927.</p><br>
<p>Notable former board members include Colby Chandler, Marion B. Folsom, and Joseph C. Wilson.</p><br>
<p>Notable former employees include Abraham M. Schermerhorn and George Eastman.</p><br>

<p>Aldrich Free Public Library is the public library of the Moosup section of Plainfield, Connecticut. It is located at 299 Main Street, in an architecturally significant Queen Anne building constructed in 1895 with funds given by the library&#39;s major benefactors, David L. Aldrich and Edwin Milner. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Aldrich Free Public Library stands in the village center of Moosup, at the northwest corner of Main and High Streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a slate roof and exterior finished mostly in wooden clapboards. It has an asymmetrical plan, with a cross-gabled roof configuration that includes side gables, a front gable over the entrance, and a turret-like rounded projecting to its right. The gable ends are finished in wooden shingles, with keystoned Palladian windows at their centers. The rounded turret-like roof end is crowned by a finial, with a band of sash windows below. The interior retains many original features, include oak bookcases, furnitures, flooring, and trim.</p><br>
<p>The library was built in 1895 to a design by Charles F. Wilcox of Providence, Rhode Island, and is a prominent local example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It was funded in part by a bequest of David Aldrich, a local mill owner, and his business partner, Edwin Milner. Aldrich died in 1889, and the remainder of the library&#39;s cost was covered by fundraising within the community. Milner donated the land on which it stands, and covered enough of the building construction cost so that the locally raised funds could be used for books and furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Bosworth House is a historic house on John Perry Road in Eastford, Connecticut. Built between 1791 and 1801, it is an imposing local example of Federal period architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Benjamin Bosworth House is located southwest of Eastford&#39;s village center, on the west side of John Perry Road north of its junction with Church Road. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a two-story main block topped by a hip roof from which a full-height monitor section projects. Eleven fireplaces, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, one (former) Masonic Lodge, one living room, one dining room, two great halls, a front parlor, office, workshop, kitchen, pantry, and laundry room are contained in the home. A precariously placed barn is also located on the property.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin Bosworth was a bachelor who owned several local farms. He hired area craftsman and architect Vinni Goodell to construct the home. The third floor of the single-family residence was a Masonic Lodge, where two fireplaces and built-in benches remain intact. The house is also unusual for its monitor roof, a rarity in Federal period construction. The current owners are the fourth family to occupy the home.</p><br>
<p>The original curved staircase in the south-facing entry was removed and auctioned off shortly after the Great Depression. Hard-carved wood paneling in the Front Parlor was allegedly solicited by the Henry Ford museum for removal but remains intact to date. Recent owners have been carefully renovating the building since 2002 and emulating the original conditions based on archival research and examined findings within the home.</p><br>
<p>The Matthew Bowen Homestead, also once known as the Plaine Hill Farm, is a historic house at 94 Plaine Hill Road in Woodstock, Connecticut. It is now the Inn at Woodstock. Built in 1816, it is a prominent and well-preserved example of a Federal period farmstead, with a long history of association with the locally prominent Bowen family. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Matthew Bowen Homestead stands on over 14 acre just west of the junction of Plaine Hill Road with Connecticut Route 169. It consists of a five-building farm complex on 14.3 acre of land, located southwest of Woodstock Hill. The main house of the complex is a -story wood-frame structure, six bays wide, with a tall hip roof. It was built in 1816, and underwent two major periods of alteration before achieving its present configuration. Originally five bays wide, Victorian porches and a turret were added in the 1880s, but largely removed in the late 1920s, at which time it was extended to six bays. The house is connected to 19th-century farm buildings, including two barns and a carriage house. A 1930s vintage Cape house stands at a remove from the main complex.</p><br>
<p>The farmhouse was built in 1816 by William Bowen. It underwent several alterations and enlargements by later members of the Bowen, including the addition of a carriage house around the time of the American Civil War, and an extensive enlargement conducted in the 1880s by Henry Chandler Bowen, owner of the National Historic Landmark Roseland Cottage in Woodstock Hill. The interior of the house was given a major Federal Revival alteration in 1929, work that included the construction of the nearby Cape. The property remained as farmland until 1982, when it passed out of the Bowen family.</p><br>
<p>The Church Farm is a historic former farm at 396 Mansfield Road in Ashford, Connecticut. Built in 1821, the main house is a remarkably sophisticated example of Federal period architecture in a rural setting. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is now the Church Center of Eastern Connecticut State University.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Church Farm is located in the rural town of Ashford, on the west side of Mansfield Road (Connecticut Route 89), south of its junction with Varga Road. The farmstead is set on 5 acre, part of a historically larger property. The farm complex includes a hip-roofed Federal style house, built in 1821, but with a c. 1791 ell attached, and a c. 1930 Colonial Revival front portico. Outbuildings include an 1895 barn, and an old woodshed and privy of uncertain age.</p><br>
<p>The house is a remarkably elegant Federal structure for a relatively remote rural location, and reflects trends in agriculture including its construction by Zalmon Aspinwall, and its conversion to a gentlemans farm late in the 19th century by John W. Church. The ell of the house is believed to incorporate a building constructed on the site by Robert Snow, to whom Aspinwall was related by marriage. Aspinwalls daughter Lucinda married John Church, who raised sheep and produced cheese on 135 acre. Subsequent generations of Churches maintained the property more as a country retreat for the family, as the family business shifted to retail clothing.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. John Clark House is a historic house on the east side of Connecticut Route 169, south of Canterbury, Connecticut. This c, 1800 enlargement of an older house is a finely crafted example of a locally distinctive style known as the "Canterbury style". The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Captain John Clark House is located in a rural setting of southern Canterbury, on the east side of Connecticut 169 south of its junction with Phinney Lane. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior. It is distinguished by a hip roof with a balustraded center, and entrances on two facades (in this case the south and street-facing west facades) both of which are framed by elegant woodwork. The building corners are pilastered, its cornice and rake line are modillioned, and its western entry is sheltered by a portico supported by Doric columns, and capped by a gable at the roof line.</p><br>
<p>One historian, RIchard Dana, dates construction of this house to 1790, while others ascribe it to the early years of the 19th century. What is known is that in 1801, Captain John Clark, a ship&#39;s captain, purchased a house standing here from someone named Dyer. Either Clark or Dyer was responsible for bringing the house, an older 18th century construction, to its present appearance; the balance of historical opinion seeming to favor Clark, who is also generally credited with construction of the nearby Prudence Crandall House. The hip roof, Palladian window, and gable over the entry are all characteristics of the "Canterbury style" of Federal architecture, of which this house is a particularly good example.</p><br>
<p>The Dorrance Inn, also known as the Samuel Dorrance House, is a historic former inn at 748 Plainfield Pike in Sterling, Connecticut built about 1722. It is notable as a place that hosted officers of the French Army in 1781 and 1782, as it was along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeaus troops on their march to meet the Continental Army under General George Washington. Dorrances Inn is one of a few places mentioned by name in multiple accounts written by French officers. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and is a contributing building in the Sterling Hill Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Dorrance Inn stands on the eastern edge of Sterling&#39;s main village, just east of the Congregational Church on the north side of Plainfield Pike (Connecticut Route 14A). The road is a historically major east-west route through the town. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. The oldest portion of the house was built around 1722, consisting of the eastern three bays. Greek Revival treatments were added to the front door and house corners in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was the home and inn of Samuel Dorrance at the time of the American Revolutionary War, and is one of the few places mentioned by name in multiple French accounts of the armys 1781 and 1782 marches across Connecticut. Dorrance played host to the Marquis de Chastellux among others, and Rochambeau dined here on the return march in 1782. George Washington is also recorded as staying here in 1781. The inn lies along a well-preserved segment of Rochambeaus march route.</p><br>
<p>The Forty-Seventh Camp of Rochambeau&#39;s Army is a historic military camp site in Windham, Connecticut, located along Scotland Road a short way east of Windham Center. It was the site of a French Army camp in November 1782 on their march from the victory at Yorktown to Rhode Island. The camp site is considered of archaeological importance because it can shed light on transient military camp sites, whose locations are not often known. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rochambeaus 47th camp was, according to a map prepared by a French military engineer, located on both sides of Scotland Road, between Ballamahack Road and Middle Hill Road, east of the village center of Windham. The modern roadway, designated Connecticut Route 14, is one of the most evocative sections of the armys march route in terms if its landscape, and is also listed on the National Register. The site occupied by the army is about 15 acre in size, with the street-facing sections lined with stone walls.</p><br>
<p>When the French Army marched west from Providence to the area outside New York City in 1781, its chosen site in Windham was the fourth camp, and was located west of Windham Center on the banks of the Shetucket River. French diarists described the route west of Windham as being particularly difficult. An enlisted man in the first brigade recounted having a rest day at this site on the return march, where they were joined by the second brigade "in frightful weather".</p><br>
<p>The Fourth Camp of Rochambeau&#39;s Army is a historic military camp site near Plains Road and Lovers Lane on the banks of the Shetucket River in Windham, Connecticut. It was here that the French Army encamped in the summer of 1781 under the command of Rochambeau on their march from Providence, Rhode Island to rendezvous with the Continental Army under General George Washington. Four divisions passed through, each one day apart.</p><br>
<p>The camp site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Glen Falls Bridge is a historic bridge that formerly carried Brunswick Avenue over the Moosup River in Plainfield, Connecticut. Built in 1886 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, it is one of a shrinking number of surviving 19th-century lenticular truss bridges  in the state. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It has been closed to all traffic for many years.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Glen Falls Bridge is located on the eastern fringe of the village of Moosup, crossing the Moosup River south of North Main Street (Connecticut Route 14). It is approached from each end by spurs of Brunswick Avenue, with a former 19th-century mill complex just east of the bridge on the north bank of the river. It is a single-span wrought iron lenticular pony truss bridge, 124 ft long, and rests on 20th-century reinforced concrete abutments. It has a roadway width of 18 ft, with the trusses rising to a height of about 18 ft above the road deck, which is about 10 ft above the river.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was manufactured by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company in 1886. When built, the road it was on was the main east-west route through the area; it was bypassed by the present alignment of Connecticut Route 14 in 1940. Although the trusses are largely original, portions of them have been replaced in the 20th century, as have the main support posts (portal struts), which were replaced in 1920. The bridge is closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. At the time of its National Register listing in 1999, it was one of fifteen surviving lenticular truss bridges in the state.</p><br>
<p>The William Jillson Stone House is a historic house museum at 561 Main Street inside Jillson Square Park, in the Willimantic section of Windham, Connecticut. Built in 1825–27, it is a rare local instance of a stone house, built by one of the area&#39;s early industrialists. It is now maintained by the Windham Historical Society, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Jillson Stone House is located on the south side of Jillson Square Park, overlooking Main Street and the Willimantic River. It is a two-story structure, built of native granite laid in alternating wide and narrow courses. Its walls are roughly 17 in thick. A single-story ell extends to the right, at a recess from the front facade. The front facade is five bays wide, with the main entrance at the center, set in a rounded-arch opening. The interior follows a center hall plan, with relatively simple woodwork trimming the openings and the fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>The house is locally significant as a rare example of a stone house, and as the home of William Jillson, a native of Cumberland, Rhode Island, who was one of the first people to purchase industrial water rights at the Willimantic Falls. Jillson and his brothers established several mills in the area, which grew to become the American Thread Company, Willimantic&#39;s leading employer for many years. The house is built out of the same materials that were used in construction of some of the mills, quarried out of the river bed.</p><br>
<p>After Jillson died, the house was divided up into apartments, and was also used as storage by one of the mills for a time. It returned to single family ownership in 1920. It was rescued from demolition by local preservationists, and underwent restoration in the 1970s by the historical society. Its rooms are decorated to depict a typical early 19th-century industrialist&#39;s home.</p><br>
<p>Knowlton Memorial Hall, also known as Ashford Town Hall, is located at 5 Town Hall Road in Ashford, Connecticut. It was built in 1924 to house town offices and the public library. Construction was made possible by a gift from Charles Knowlton, whose family had lived in the area since the 18th century. When built, it featured a number of modern innovations, including electrical service , and steam heat. In addition to town offices and the library, the building also has an auditorium which is used for town meetings. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Knowlton Memorial Hall stands prominently in the center of Ashford&#39;s main village, at the southeast corner of Pompey Hill Road (United States Route 44) and Town Hall Road. It is a two-story structure, built of randomly laid fieldstone with wide mortared joints, with a hip roof. The roof eaves show exposed rafter ends, and there is a stone chimney at one end of the building. Windows are placed in openings that have slightly segmented-arch headers with brick-like soldier stones forming the arch, and bluestone lintels. The main entrance is flanked by sidelight windows, each placed in a separate opening.</p><br>
<p>The town of Ashford has a long history, having been incorporated in 1714, but its town center was lost to Eastford when that town was incorporated in 1847. The town, largely agricultural for much of its history, remained without a well-defined town center until this building was erected in 1924. It was a gift of Charles Knowlton, an Ashford native who made a large fortune in business associated with a textile mill in Putnam. Although he lived in New York City, he frequently summered in Ashford, and gave this building as a gift to the town in honor of his father, John Knowlton, and his ancestor, the American Revolutionary War hero Thomas Knowlton. It was designed by Herbert Loud, an architect based in New York.</p><br>
<p>March Route of Rochambeaus Army: Manship Road-Barstow Road is a historic site in Canterbury, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, for its evocation of the march route French commander Rochambeaus troops in 1781 and in 1782.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as a preserved section of the march route which, in this area, is followed by what is now Connecticut Route 14. This section, however, is a bypassed loop of road, cut off by a road realignment in the 1930s, and therefore without traffic and not modernized. The section is approximately 1,400 feet of bypassed loop of road, on the north side of the main road, along Manship Road and Barstow Road, starting from a junction of the loop with Manship Road and running to Westminster Road. It is paved road about 20 feet wide, plus a margin to stone walls lining the road. The designated area is about 50 to 55 feet wide, extending to the walls. The National Register nomination of 2001 includes six photos of narrow roadway, stone walls, and the one house along this section. The house is itself historical, dating from about the 1840s, and adds rather than detracts from the historical feel.</p><br>
<p>Rochambeau&#39;s troops marched through here in June, 1781, and found the road along this general area to be the most difficult along their whole journey. Although the road has been paved, the visual appearance is still evocative of passage of troops.</p><br>
<p>Other preserved sections of the route nearby include March Route of Rochambeaus Army: Old Canterbury Road (about 2 mi to the east, along Route 14 through Canterbury then straight on 14A, Canterbury Road) and March Route of Rochambeaus Army: Palmer Road (an approximately 2,000 ft stretch about 3 mi to the west along Route 14).</p><br>
<p>Multiple other properties whose association with Rochambeau&#39;s route is known were also considered for listing on the National Register in a 2001 study.</p><br>
<p>March Route of Rochambeaus Army: Old Canterbury Road is a historic site in Plainfield, Connecticut along the 1781 and/or 1782 march routes of Rochambeaus army. It includes a stretch of what is now Old Canterbury Road and a stretch of Canterbury Road  whose environs evoke the period of the Rochambeau army&#39;s march. It is a 2 acre site that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The March Route of Rochambeaus Army: Old Canterbury Road is located in western Plainfield, along a portion of the current and historical alignment of Connecticut Route 14A. The eastern portion of the segment is part of the current alignment, extending eastward from the junction with Old Canterbury Road for about 1,300 ft. The western section of this segment consists of Old Canterbury Road, a narrow window paved road with a border of shrubs and vines and stone walls along much of its length; this was originally part of Route 14A until it was bypassed in the 1930s. A stand of mature sugar maple trees gives shade to a portion of the site. Houses along the section are more modern than the 1781-82 era, but are set back far enough so as not to interfere with the evocation of Rochambeaus marching troops.</p><br>
<p>This segment of road is one of many that was traversed by Rochambeau&#39;s troops in June 1781 on their way to Virginia, and again in November 1782, on their return to Rhode Island. The passage of the French army along this route is documented by period route map drawn by French military engineer Louis-Alexandre Berthier. French chroniclers of the march noted that it had "farms sown with rye and wheat, but especially with maize... and with potatoes", but that they also passed through "many woods, mostly of oaks and chestnut trees" in the area between their third camp (in Plainfield) and their fourth in Windham.</p><br>
<p>The March Route of Rochambeau&#39;s Army: Palmer Road is a linear historic district encompassing a portion of Connecticut Route 14  in eastern Scotland, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 as an evocative surviving element of the march route of the French Army commanded by Rochambeau during the American Revolutionary War in 1781 and 1782.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Connecticut Route 14 is a historically major east-west route through central eastern Connecticut, passing through the village Scotland between Canterbury and Windham. At the time of the American Revolutionary War Scotland was still a part of Windham, becoming a separate town in 1857. This road, then in places little more than an unpaved track, was the route taken by French commander Rochambeau&#39;s troops in 1781 and again during their return march in 1782 between Providence, Rhode Island and Yorktown, Virginia. French chroniclers of the march described the portion east of Scotland as a narrow, steep, stony road, and their baggage wagons arrived late at their camp in Windham on the westward march in 1781.</p><br>
<p>The historic element of the road runs about 2,000 ft along Route 14 from its intersection with Miller Road east to a point 800 ft east of the junction with Pudding Hill Road. The road is now a modern paved two-lane road, but its characteristics are very much as described by the French in 1781, rising steadily and sometimes steeply. Typical New England fieldstone walls line significant portions of the road, another feature commented on by French chroniclers. Views from the road are across hundreds of acres of farmland, lined by stone walls and trees, again very typical of the march period.</p><br>
<p>To the east about 3 mi along Route 14 is another preserved section of the march route, a 1,400 ft stretch along a bypass of Route 14. Multiple other properties whose association with Rochambeau&#39;s route is known were also considered for listing on the National Register in a study.</p><br>
