<p>The Young-Shaw House was a historic farmhouse located near Sarahsville, Ohio, United States. A simple building originally home to a wealthy farmer, it was passed down through numerous generations of the original owner&#39;s family, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Born at Lippitt, Rhode Island in 1819, Henry J. Young came to present-day Noble County with his family in 1825. Although the land was then in a wild state, he carefully acquired enough money to buy 40 acre of land and marry a woman from Pennsylvania, and he moved to the site of the present house in Center Township in 1846. Center Township farmers had been growing tobacco since circa 1835, and war conditions only heightened demand for the township&#39;s leaf. Tobacco commerce was centered in the community of Sarahsville, which remained active in the trade into the late 1880s. although for much of his life he was a member of and a lay preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>After nearly a quarter of a century in their original farmhouse, Young and his wife arranged for the present house to be erected in 1870, hiring contractor Tobias Shaw of Senecaville to oversee construction; Shaws son ultimately married Youngs daughter, and the property has remained in Shaw ownership through several generations of the family. Two and a half stories tall, the house is a wooden balloon framed building covered with weatherboarding. The front is divided into five bays with a doorway in the center of the first story, while the largely windowless ends rise to gables. Chimneys pierce the slate roof at either end of the roofline, and the entire structure rests on a stone foundation.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the Young-Shaw House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it qualified because of its connection to Henry Young and his prominent place in the history of the area. Five agricultural outbuildings were included in the historic designation, which is one of nine such locations in Noble County.</p><br>
<p>The house was torn down in 2016 by the family. It was too expensive to maintain and posed a danger to the public. The usable wood from the house was reclaimed and donated.</p><br>
<p>The University of Connecticut Historic District is a 105 acre historic district including the historic campus of the Connecticut Agricultural School, now the main campus of the University of Connecticut  in Storrs, Connecticut.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The Historic District is located Storrs, a village of the town of Mansfield, Connecticut, flanking Storrs Road (Connecticut Route 195). The principal elements of the district are 23 masonry buildings erected between 1906 and 1942, in Collegiate Gothic, Colonial Revival, and Classical Revival styles. There are also 18 residential structures, some dating to the 18th century, and including the President&#39;s House, built in 1940. These are located in an area historically known as Faculty Row, which is now part of Whitney and Gilbert Roads. The master plan for the campus was drafted in the early 20th century by Charles N. Lowrie, a landscape architect, and was followed to a substantial degree by subsequent development. The only non-university buildings in the district are those associated with the Storrs Community Church. and</p><br>
<p>UConn is historically significant as the nation&#39;s first public university established specifically for the study of agriculture. It was founded in 1881 as the Storrs Agricultural School, named for its donors (Charles and Augustus Storrs) and the village where its campus was located. The school remained small and focused on agriculture until the early 20th century. In 1906, the school began to expand both its physical plant and its curriculum, although the latter remained focused on agricultural subjects such as farm machinery and horticulture. This building program, largely completed by 1935, produced most of the assemblage of masonry buildings contained in the historic district. In 1933, the school was renamed Connecticut State College, and in 1939 it was given its present name.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Demolition</h2><br>
<p>In the Spring of 2017, seven of nine houses on Gilbert road were demolished to create a park area.</p><br>
<p>The Valley Falls Cotton Mill Site is the site of a historic mill at Valley Falls Park in Vernon, Connecticut. Mills were operated on the site from colonial times until 1877, when the last mill burned. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Valley Falls Park is located in southeastern Vernon, south of Valley Falls Road and west of Bolton Road. The park is largely wooded with large areas of wetlands. Its developed facilities are at the northern end, where there is public parking. The park is set in the valley drained by Railroad Brook, which flows north through the park. At the northern end is a former millpond, impounded by a stone dam, below which are the remnants of the mills.</p><br>
<p>Industrial use of Railroad Brook is documented to begin in the mid-18th century, when a sawmill is recorded to be on the site. By the early 19th century, that mill is augmented by a flaxseed processing oil mill. IN 1847, the latter mill was converted to textile manufacture, producing woolen cloth. The height of the dam is known to have been raised twice in the 1850s, in order to accommodate increased power demands. A property deed in 1860 records the property as including a stone mill, miller&#39;s house, and other outbuildings. The complex was destroyed by fire on February 3, 1877, the only building to surviving being an employee boarding house. The proprietors had underinsured the property, and were apparently financially unable to rebuild.</p><br>
<p>Mansfield Center Cemetery is a small cemetery in the Mansfield Center section of Mansfield, Connecticut. Established in 1693, it is one of the few surviving elements of Mansfields early colonial settlement history. It also has a distinguished array of funerary markers carved by acknowledged masters across eastern Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. and</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Mansfield Center Cemetery is located south of the modern center of Mansfield, at the southeast corner of Storrs and Cemetery Roads. It is a roughly rectangular area 1.5 acre in size, ringed by a fieldstone wall. A line of trees separates the cemetery from Storrs Road, and there is a gate with stone posts providing entrance to the ground. The cemetery grounds are densely filled with burial sites, with the burials uniformly oriented with the head to the east, and headstones with the carved face to the west. Many 18th and 19th century markers carved of a variety of materials featuring elaborate designs dot the grounds. The oldest dated marker is for Exercise Conant, who died in 1722.</p><br>
<p>Mansfield was settled as part of Windham in 1690 and was separately incorporated in 1704. The site was set aside for use as a cemetery as early as 1693 and it remained in general use for that purpose until the 1870s. The cemetery&#39;s 18th-century gravestones, decorated with cherubim, geometric designs, and a variety of funerary symbols, are considered to be illustrative of the rich artistic tradition of funerary stone carving in colonial New England. More than 180 stones have been attributed to identifiable stone carvers, including such 18th-century masters of the craft as John Hartshorne, Obadiah Wheeler, Benjamin Collins and his son Zerubbabel, Gershom Bartlett, John Huntington, the Manning Family, Jonathan Loomis, Aaron Haskins, Stephen Spaulding, Elijah Sikes, and John Walden. Two primative carvings exist by local carver James Hovey. 19th century carvers represented include the Upswept Wing Carver, Caleb Huntington, Thomas Welch, the Warrenville Carver, and Orivlle Griswold.</p><br>
<p>Sharpes Trout Hatchery Site is a 1 acre site of a former fish hatchery in Vernon, Connecticut. The hatchery was established in 1871 by Christian Sharps, and was abandoned after his death in 1874. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Its surviving remnants are located in Vernons Valley Falls Park, about one mile south of the mill pond.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Christian Sharps became well known for inventing a breech-loading rifle in 1848, known for its long-range accuracy and use by the military in the American Civil War. After that war, demand for the weapon declined, and Sharps sought another money-making opportunity. The nation&#39;s native trout stocks were in decline, due in part to overfishing and the damming of rivers for industrial purposes. Sharps purchased 150 acre of farmland, including an old mill and mill pond in southern Vernon that were well suited for use as a fish hatchery. On the site he built a small cabin, several ponds, and water control structures. He also built up berms to protect key elements of the facility from flooding. He anticipated being able to produce 300,000 fish per years, and planned to expand production to 500,000.</p><br>
<p>Sharps died from tuberculosis in 1874, before he could effectively reap the rewards of his investment. His family left Vernon, and the site reverted to the previous owner and mortgage holder. The property was acquired by the Vernon Fire District in 1962, and the mill pond was dredged and converted into a recreation area. Surviving remnants of the hatchery included wall foundations, small dam sections for controlling water flow, and earthen berms.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Hill Historic District encompasses a rural 19th-century village stretching along Storrs Road  in Mansfield, Connecticut. Spring Hill developed as a rural waystation on an early 19th-century turnpike, and has seen only modest development since the late 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village of Spring Hill was little more than a cluster of agricultural farmsteads until the early 19th century, located atop a local hill near the geographic center of Mansfield. It grew as a stopping point on the turnpike running between Norwich, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts (now Storrs Road, Connecticut Route 195), and as an early center for the growing of mulberry trees in pursuit of silk production. Later in the 19th century, Charles and Augustus Storrs, two of its leading residents, gave land to the state for the founding of the University of Connecticut. The principal development since then has been the addition of residences in the 20th century, primarily for people affiliated with the university.</p><br>
<p>The district extends along Storrs Road roughly between East Road and Spring Hill Road. It is about 40 acre in size, and includes 13 historically significant buildings. Only two survive from the 18th century; most of the rest are 19th century construction, with the Greek Revival as the predominant architectural style. The district includes one church, the Gothic Baptist church built in 1877, as well as two civic buildings that have served as Mansfield&#39;s town hall. The Spring Hill area was defined as a Connecticut state historic district in 1972 and, with the same borders, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>The district includes two of the four houses that had made up Spring Hill as a distinct community around 1800:</p><br>
<p>957 Storrs Road, at listing known as the Altnaveigh Inn, c.1776</p><br>
<p>974 Storrs Road, a cottage, c.1740</p><br>
<p>One other building was destroyed by fire and the other one was demolished. Its other contributing buildings are mostly with Greek Revival architecture, from that style which rose in popularity in the 1830s. These include:</p><br>
<p>Crain House, 928 Storrs Road, from 1838</p><br>
<p>Shumway House, 934 Storrs Road, from 1863</p><br>

<p>The General Building, also called the Tennessee General Building or the First Bank Building, is an office high rise located in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Constructed in 1925, the 14-story building is the only high rise designed by Charles I. Barber, and has over the years housed the offices of dozens of banks, physicians, and various financial and architectural firms. The Lexington, Tennessee-based First Bank is the current anchor tenant. In 1988, the General Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and its role in Knoxville&#39;s commercial history.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The General Building is a 14-story "L-shaped" building rising on the northwest corner of Church Avenue and Market Street. By 1958, a four-story annex had been added to the rear of the building, giving the first four stories a square shape, rather than an L-shape. The first three stories of the Church and Market facades are covered with a rusticated limestone veneer. All four corners are delineated by concrete quoins along the entire height of the building, and the roof is decorated with a terra cotta cornice. The elevator penthouse atop the building typically bears the name of the anchor tenant (currently First Bank).</p><br>
<p>The main facade, facing Market Street, consists of three arched openings, with the north opening leading to the general lobby, the south leading to the bank lobby, and the middle opening containing a window. The bank lobby is the most elaborate interior room, consisting of arched ceilings and a second-story mezzanine with a balustrade. The general lobby contains marble floors and bronze-plated elevator doors. Much of the building&#39;s interior was extensively remodeled in the early 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The General Building is situated near the heart of the Knoxville&#39;s Central Business District. Gay Street lies one block to the east, Market Square lies two blocks to the north, and the courthouse and other municipal buildings lie just over a block to the south. The cluster of buildings across the street to the south were listed on the National Register as the South Market Historic District in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The General Building stands on a lot that lies just outside Charles McClungs original 1791 plat of Knoxville, although the lot had been incorporated into the city by 1795. During the 19th century, the sanctuary of Knoxvilles Methodist Church, South, congregation occupied the lot next to the building (the congregation, now the Church Street United Methodist Episcopal Church, moved to its new sanctuary on Henley Street after the old church was destroyed by a fire in 1928). By the early 1900s, the lot on which the General Building would be built was known as "Old Rambo Corner."</p><br>
<p>In late 1924, several investors formed General Building, Inc., with the intention of addressing the need for a "modern office building" in Knoxville. One investor, A. P. Brown, investigated several sites in the downtown area, but failed to find a site that could be acquired for a reasonable price. In 1925, the real estate firm Alex McMillan Company agreed to sell Old Rambo Corner at a bargain price in return for a 25-year lease on a portion of the proposed building&#39;s first floor. The building, designed by Charles I. Barber of the firm Barber & McMurry and constructed by Worsham Brothers, Inc., was completed in 1925.</p><br>
<p>Along with Alex McMillan, early occupants included Barber & McMurry, who operated out of the building until 1934, and prominent Knoxville physician Herbert Acuff, who had offices in the building until 1931. Anchor tenants through the years have included Third National Bank, the Bank of Knoxville, and BankFirst. BB&T was the General Building&#39;s anchor tenant from the late 1990s until 2003, when it moved to the larger Riverview Tower on Gay Street.</p><br>
<h2>Current tenants</h2><br>
<p>The General Building contains roughly 50,000 ft&sup2; of office space. Along with its anchor tenant, First Bank, the building houses offices for Clayton Bank and Trust, the Legacy Parks Foundation, the Cornerstone Foundation of Knoxville, the Chapman Family Foundation, and the HealthCare 21 Business Coalition. The building also houses offices for numerous financial specialists and real estate agents.</p><br>

<p>Argyle Flats is a historic building located on a busy thoroughfare in Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The structure was designed by the Davenport architectural firm of Clausen & Burrows and completed in 1900. It was typical of the apartment blocks that were built in Davenport near the turn of the 20th century. It was advantageously located near the expanding campus of Palmer College of Chiropractic, along a streetcar line and within walking distance of the downtown area. Palmer College now owns the building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Argyle Flats is a three-story structure built on a raised basement. Its basic form is compact and rectilinear. It rises three floors above an exposed basement and features an asymmetrical facade. The smooth brick walls contrast with the rough textures of the cornices that feature Romanesque Revival corbelling and round-arched windows on the attic level in pointed gables that rise above the coping. Decorative details are found at the buildings main entrances and on the cornice. The cornice itself continues across the deeply recessed hyphen between the two facades, which minimizes the reality that the building is two separate blocks. Argyle Flats also features full-height, polygonal, projecting window bays. There are two entrances in the main facade that each lead to flats on one side of a bearing or party wall. The exteriors of both sides of the building are a mirror-image of the other, which is typical of the citys double houses. An adjustment is made, however, as the north section of the building sets higher on the hillside than the southern section. Elements of the Victorian era are found in its picturesque facade.</p><br>

<p>Along with Wright Block, the Clifford Annex, the Dinnie Block, and Golden Square, the Telephone Co. Building was one of many "commercial vernacular brick buildings with classical revival details" that were built during a major building boom, with high quality brickwork. It was built in 1904 by the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company, which later became Northwestern Bell. This replaced a previous exchange that was located on the fourth floor of an office building, which had some accessibility problems. A 1901 author pointed out that the cable ran into the office from a nearby pole and was unsightly, and that the wiring inside the building was not very orderly either. The building was rather crowded. The company was in the process of buying a lot for the new exchange building.</p><br>

A circa 1840 painting of the Swart Tavern is also on display.</p><br>
<p>Bellona Arsenal was a 19th-century United States Army post in Chesterfield County, Virginia, above the fall line of the James River west of Richmond, Virginia. Ruins of a powder magazine and other buildings are still standing. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>USA attorney-general William Wirt and USA Army Major John Clarke established the Bellona Foundry on the south shore of the James River, 14 miles west of Richmond, Virginia, in 1810. The Foundry manufactured weaponry for the War Department. The name "Bellona" comes from the name of an ancient Roman goddess of war.</p><br>
<p>Maj. Clarke arranged for the location of a federal arsenal immediately to the west of Bellona Foundry. The Army erected Bellona Arsenal in 1816. It began storing cannon from the Foundry in 1817.</p><br>
<h3>Antebellum years</h3><br>
<p>Bellona Foundry supplied much ordnance to the Army and Navy of the United States throughout the antebellum period. The Arsenal repaired small arms and engaged in a few other functions until 1832; thereafter, it only received and stored cannon. The Army removed the garrison to Fort Monroe in 1833 but left a single ordnance sergeant as a caretaker.</p><br>
<p>In 1837 the War Department declared disused Bellona Arsenal surplus. Thomas Randolph and a partner leased several buildings for a silkworm farm.</p><br>
<p>Maj. Clarke died in 1844, and supervision of Bellona Foundry passed to Dr. Junius L. Archer, who leased a residence from the Arsenal complex. In 1856 Dr. Archer purchased Bellona Arsenal from the federal government for $2650.</p><br>
<p>Bellona Arsenal, nearby Tredegar Iron Works, and three facilities in other states cast heavy cannon immediately before the American Civil War.</p><br>
<h3>American Civil War</h3><br>
<p>Bellona Arsenal and the somewhat larger Tredegar Iron Works manufactured cannons and similar armaments for the Confederate military. Dr. Archer leased both Arsenal and Foundry to the Confederate States and retained a job as superintendent of the complex. Bellona ranked second as a producer of Confederate armaments.</p><br>
<h3>Closure</h3><br>
<p>The owners tore down the barracks, quarters for officers, and one workshop in 1872; only three workshops of the original eight quadrangle buildings (and the powder magazine) survived at the old Bellona Arsenal. They sold the arsenal property in 1877.</p><br>
<p>The property changed hands several times; in 1942, Mr. Merle C. Luck purchased the surviving buildings and began to renovate them. He later converted them into residences.</p><br>
<h2>Physical description</h2><br>
<p>Bellona Foundry and Bellona Arsenal consisted of several buildings built over a short time span.</p><br>
<p>Stone walls enclosed eight buildings surrounding the quadrangle at the Arsenal. These included a three-story main arsenal building at the north end with a projecting pavilion and circular third-story windows, two quarters for officers flanking the arsenal, four workshops on the east and west sides of the quadrangle, and a three-story barracks building on the south end. The similar brick workshop buildings lack foundations, and each have two stories with hipped roofs and interior end chimneys. Two smaller workshops contain three bays each with central entrances and segmental arched openings. The larger workshop building has a five-bay facade.</p><br>
<p>The low rectangular powder magazine with walls five and a half feet thick stood to the west of the quadrangle buildings. A stone wall surrounding the magazine protected the quadrangle buildings against possible explosion. The powder magazine has survived to the present but has no roof.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The arsenal and foundry are the namesake of "Old Gun Road" in the Robious area of Chesterfield County.</p><br>
<p>On 6 May, 1971, Bellona Arsenal was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is located near Midlothian, Virginia, off State Route 673 northwest of its junction with VA 147.</p><br>

The Northeast lock chamber is 110 ft long and 18 ft wide; the Southwest lock chamber is 220 ft long and 18 to 20 ft wide; and the Center pier is 100 ft long and 26 ft wide. The Southwest lock chamber was expanded in 1889–1890. Lock 23 fell into disuse after the opening of the New York State Barge Canal in 1918. The lock chambers contain no water and the area is open as a local park. The site was reclaimed and stabilized by local volunteers starting in 1999. A replica of a board and batten locktender&#39;s hut was constructed between 2000 and 2003 by students from the Union College Department of Civil Engineering.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Baird Law Office in Green Bay, Wisconsin was built in the 1830s in Greek Revival style, which was then popular as one of America&#39;s first architectural styles that explicitly rejected British practices. The small one-story building measures just 16 x 30 ft in size and served historically as a professional building.</p><br>
<p>A plaque from 1964 explains that it was built as a law office for Henry S. Baird ("Father of the Wisconsin Bar") in the early 1830s, then later used as a residence, and it was restored and moved to its then-current site in 1960.</p><br>
<p>Other sources state that it was instead used first by owner Samuel Beall as a land office and his residence, and was purchased a few years later by Baird: "Henry S. Baird was an influential figure in local and state history. He found architecture befitting his stature when he purchased what became his namesake in 1841."</p><br>
<p>The building was listed, for its architecture, on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The listing is for a 4 acre area with just the one contributing building and no other structures.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Register&#39;s database, the building was built in 1831.</p><br>
<p>The Heritage Park states that the building was constructed by Samuel Beall, in 1835, "at the corner of Main and Monroe Streets", in Green Bay and "used as a land office and Beall&#39;s residence." It was moved several times, in fact, before being moved to Heritage Hill, in Allouez, in 1975.</p><br>
<p>It is now located within what is now Heritage Hill State Park. Also located in the park are several other NRHP-listed buildings.</p><br>
<p>According to Nick Backhaus, a restoration supervisor at Heritage Hill, the 16 x 30 ft building might have "survived because of its unique architecture, and people identified that it was unique." He noted that "The architecture is Greek Revival, a style popular in the 1800s, though often expressed on much larger buildings," Backhaus said. "Many prosperous Americans believed that ancient Greece represented the spirit of democracy."</p><br>
<p>Architectural details include a portico with four columns, the center two having Ionic capitals and being round fluted. The outer two, without capitals, are square. The pediment has a cedar frieze board and dentils.</p><br>

<p>The Greeley House is located at King  and Senter streets in downtown Chappaqua, New York, United States. It was built about 1820 and served as the home of newspaper editor and later presidential candidate Horace Greeley from 1864 to his death in 1872. In 1979 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with several other properties nearby related to Greeley and his family.</p><br>
<p>Built in the 1820s as a typical small farmhouse, it was expanded in the mid-19th century. Greeley, editor of the New-York Tribune, settled in Chappaqua shortly before the Civil War in the mid-19th century, living there with his family primarily during the summer. After a mob of citizens opposed to Greeley&#39;s abolitionist editorial stance threatened his wife at their earlier "House in the Woods," Greeley bought the farmhouse and moved his family there, near the hundred acres (40 ha) where he ran a small farm and practiced experimental agricultural techniques.</p><br>
<p>After the war, Greeley built a mansion called "Hillside House" to live in, but died along with his wife shortly after the 1872 presidential election, where he ran on the Liberal Republican line against incumbent Ulysses S. Grant, so his children lived there instead, pioneering the suburban lifestyle that was later to define Chappaqua and its neighboring communities. Both of Greeley&#39;s other houses burned down later in the 19th century, leaving the Greeley House the only one extant.</p><br>
<p>It, too, was almost demolished after falling into serious neglect in the early 20th century. After its restoration in 1940, it was used as a restaurant and gift shop. Following another restoration effort in the early 21st century, it is now the offices of the New Castle Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on a one-third-acre (0.3 acre) lot in the corner between the two streets, at the bottom of a steep hill King descends from the east. It is at the eastern edge of downtown Chappaqua, an unincorporated hamlet of the town of New Castle nestled in a level area of a hilly region. The Saw Mill River, paralleled closely by the eponymous parkway and Metro-North Railroad&#39;s Harlem Line, are in a corridor 600 ft to the west.</p><br>
<p>To its west are one-story commercial buildings interspersed with parking lots. North and east, going uphill on King, are a church on the same side of the street, followed by houses of more modern construction. The local fire department headquarters are on the southeast, with New Castle&#39;s community center across Senter Street buffering the baseball fields beyond.</p><br>
<p>A white wooden picket fence with a gate sets off the house from the sidewalk. The building itself is a two-story five-by-three-bay timber frame structure on a brick foundation sided in clapboard and topped by a shingled gabled roof pierced by two brick chimneys. A two-story flat-roofed extension projects from the south (rear) facade.</p><br>
<p>On the north (front) face, a two-story porch runs the full width of the house. Wooden steps lead up to it from the west, with a brick wheelchair ramp and modern aluminum railings providing access to the wooden deck from the east. Square wooden pillars rising to a molded cornice support the balustraded balcony level. The main entrance, at the west side, has a paneled wooden door flanked by two sidelights.</p><br>
<p>The windows are all set with six-over-six double-hung sash protected by a layer of storm glass, with minimal wooden sills and lintels. They are smaller on the first floor&#39;s north. All are flanked by louvered wooden shutters. At the east gable apex, split by the chimney, are two louvered lunettes; opposite there are just two more smaller six-over-six windows, with the middle bay on that facade left blind. The roofline is marked by a plain frieze and overhanging eave on the east and west sides.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the house follows a sidehall plan. The front room was originally the parlor, used for entertaining visitors, with the rear devoted to the dining room. The kitchen, with a small pantry, is in the rear. A small music room is on the north.</p><br>
<p>Behind it are the stairs to the second floor. Above the pantry is a small bedroom, originally the maid&#39;s. Two larger bedrooms occupy the rest of the floor.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house has passed through four distinct periods. After its construction around 1820 as a modest farmhouse, Horace Greeley expanded it around the time of his arrival. His daughters maintained it after his death but largely lived elsewhere; since they sold it has been restored twice after nearly being demolished in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<h3>1820–1853: Before the Greeleys</h3><br>
<p>The house was built by a farmer named Haviland around 1820. At the time it was a fairly simple, plain farmhouse, typical of the location and the period. While it was located on the main road through the area,</p><br>
<p>In the middle of the century the New York and Harlem Railroad, later part of the New York Central, was built along the Saw Mill River. The connection to New York changed Chappaqua&#39;s economy in two ways. The first was more immediately felt. Its farmers now had easy access to the markets of New York City to the south and began raising cash crops for it. Slowly the station and the neighborhood around it displaced the meetinghouse and its environs as the center of social and public life in Chappaqua.</p><br>
<h3>1853–1872: Horace Greeley and his farm</h3><br>
<p>The railroad also drew city residents to Chappaqua. In the early 1850s the Haviland house was extended by a third and its exterior decorated with the piazza-style porch and balcony, Victorian mantles and French windows. Similar decorative woodwork was added inside. In 1853, Horace Greeley, the editor of the New-York Tribune, bought the first part of what would eventually become a 78 acre farm nearby, much of it developed for that purpose either by Greeley himself or under his supervision to use as an experimental farm, testing new agricultural techniques he wrote about in his column.</p><br>
<p>Originally the farm was intended to be a summer residence for the Greeley family. His wife Mary, who like her husband was still distraught over the death of the couple&#39;s five-year-old son a year or so earlier, had insisted that any such property had to have a spring-fed babbling brook, evergreen forest and be near the railroad. The Chappaqua property met two of those conditions, with a small bog standing in for the spring and brook.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, Greeley continued his advocacy for abolition in the Tribune&#39;s editorial pages. A mob angered by this threatened the house, and Mary was prepared to blow it up if that happened again during the 1863 New York City draft riots. The next year, he bowed to her complaints and bought the Haviland house, conspicuously located on the main road, from the estate of Caleb Sands, its later owner. The Greeleys continued its expansion, adding a music room to the north end. Still, the family lived in the house only during summers, shipping the piano up with them every spring. Greeley himself could only enjoy the house on weekends, due to the demands of his editorial position at the Tribune.</p><br>
<p>After the war, Greeley continued to farm the property and test new agricultural methods. In 1870, a bumper crop of apples resulted in Greeley making more cider than he was able to sell. Later that year, on a hillside corner of the farm, now expanded to a hundred acres (40 ha), he built the first concrete barn in the nation. It was later converted into a house and named Rehoboth, also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Greeley began planning and building a new family home, Hillside House, located a short distance down the entrance road to the farm (which has since been extended and paved as Senter Street). It was completed in 1872, but before moving in he accepted the nomination of the Democratic and Liberal Republican parties to run against incumbent Ulysses S. Grant in that years presidential election. After accepting the nominations he held a large picnic reception and luncheon on the southern portion of the farm, the land now the large lawn in front of Saint Mary. Mary Greeley died a few days before the election, in which Grant was the clear victor. The combination of those two events had a deleterious effect on Greeleys own health, and he died a few weeks later, before all the votes had been counted, the only time that has happened to a major presidential candidate.</p><br>
<h3>1873–1926: Gabrielle Greeley and subdivision</h3><br>
<p>Now orphaned, the two Greeley daughters nevertheless returned to Chappaqua in the summer of 1873. They were accompanied by their older cousin, Cecilia Cleveland, and her mother. Cecilia later wrote a memoir of that summer in which she extolled the joys of the house, with its city amenities and country setting. It was a place where one could "dream away an entire morning", one she did not want to leave at the end of the season for the busier city. Her narrative depicts the emergence of an early suburban lifestyle, one that was going to continue all over Westchester County during the next decades. When the Greeleys had come to Chappaqua two decades earlier, they were practically alone in living this way. Since then others had discovered it, and Westchester had become a summer suburb.</p><br>
<p>After that summer was over, Ida and Gabrielle moved into Hillside House. In 1875, the "House in the Woods" burned down, shortly before Ida married. Seven years later, she died. In 1890, Hillside House also burned down, leaving the old farmhouse the only one of Horace Greeleys three Chappaqua homes standing. Two years later, Gabrielle Greeley and her husband, The Rev. Frank Glendenin, pastor of St. Peters Episcopal Church in Manhattan, hired Ralph Adams Cram to remodel Rehoboth into a house. It became one of the centers of the increasingly more suburban community&#39;s social life.</p><br>
<p>Early in the new century, the Glendenins began breaking up the farm. By 1900 the original railroad station (a few hundred feet north of the current stations platforms) was no longer adequate for the growing communitys needs. Gabrielle settled a dispute over where to locate a new station by donating land on the southwest corner of the farm that was used to construct a new station, opened in 1902 and now itself listed on the National Register. She stipulated that the area in front of it be left as a park to honor her father.</p><br>
<p>A year afterwards, the Glendenins daughter Muriel died at the age of five. They commissioned architect Morgan OBrien to build a memorial chapel to her based on a medieval English church, Saint Mary the Virgin, outside London. It was completed in 1906 on the 4 acre parcel where her father had held his campaign picnic over 40 years earlier. Eight years later the memorial sculpture to Horace Greeley was installed in the small park across from the train station; in 1916 the Glendenins transferred the chapel to the Episcopal Diocese of New York, again with some stipulations, including one that they and their children be buried behind the church.</p><br>
<h3>1927–present: Restoration and subdivision</h3><br>
<p>Gabrielle and her husband held on to the rest of the farm property until the late 1920s. She sold the house in 1926, ending 62 years of Greeley ownership. The rest of the farm was sold to a developer the next year, and subdivided into the commercial downtown it is now, completing the transformation of Chappaqua from the quiet country place to which Horace Greeley had escaped to practice farming into a modern suburb whose residents still lived in natural surroundings on large lots but commuted daily to jobs in the city.</p><br>
<p>With the onset of the Great Depression of the 1930s the house was neglected and fell into disrepair. By 1940 it was looking as if it might have to be demolished. It was saved by two residents, who commissioned a local architect to preside over a restoration that year. One of them, Gladys Capen Mills, lived on the second floor and ran a small gift shop downstairs. For some of that time the kitchen was also used as a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>In 1959 a local family bought it and expanded the gift shop to use the entire house, remodeling the interior for that purpose and adding the flat-roofed south addition. They remained in business there until 1998. After they closed, the New Castle Historical Society bought it. Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, two architects oversaw another restoration of the house, to an appearance closer to that which it had had during the Greeley era. It has been the society&#39;s offices since then.</p><br>
