<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sacred Heart complex is located in South Lawrence, on the west side of South Broadway, the major north-south artery through the area. It covers about 2 acre between Groton and Hawley Streets, occupying all but the western part of a complete city block. The complex includes five buildings: two schools (one Romanesque Revival built 1899, the other Colonial Revival built 1926), and a convent (1920), rectory (1924), and church (1935–36). The church was designed by Woonsocket, Rhode Island architect Walter F. Fontaine in association with Joseph G. Morissette of Lawrence. The schools and rectory are built out of brick, while the convent is stuccoed on the exterior, and the church is an elaborate example of Gothic Revival architecture in multicolored ashlar granite.</p><br>
<p>Between the 1899 school and the convent is a small grotto that is also part of the complex. In 2004 the Catholic church consolidated seven parishes in Lawrence down to three, and this complex was sold to Sagrado Corazon LLC. The schools and convent have been converted to residential use, while the church and rectory are leased to a sedevacantist Traditionalist Catholic Dominican order. The complex as of 2017 is a vibrant traditional Catholic community. Restoration of the Church and rectory is on-going and a new brick cloister garden area has recently been built.</p><br>
<p>The former Daniel Saunders School is a historic school building at 243 S. Broadway in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The two story Classical Revival building was built in 1931, replacing a previous school building on the same site that was destroyed by fire. It is faced in yellow Flemish brick, trimmed with cast stone, over a concrete block frame. The main entrance is in a slightly projecting bay that extends the full height of the building, topped by a triangular pediment and flanked by pilasters. The side ends of the building also have slightly projecting central bays, with round arch windows on the second floor and doorways topped by pedimented hoods with scrolled brackets.</p><br>
<p>The school, like the one it replaced, was named for Daniel Saunders, a key figure in the founding of Lawrence and the town&#39;s first treasurer. This building was designed by local architect Joseph G. Morissette, who is known primarily for his ecclesiastical projects. It was one of three schools whose construction was authorized in June 1931, which were built for a combined cost of about $174,000.</p><br>
<p>The Saunders School served the first through third grades for most of its life, but in its later years served only as a kindergarten facility. It was formally closed in 2006, and sold in 2009. It has been rehabilitated to provide sixteen housing units for homeless families; it is the first facility of this type in the state.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Wood Worsted Mill is located at South Union St. and Merrimack Street, on the south bank of the Merrimack River, in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The mill building was constructed between 1906 and 1909 for the American Woolen Company, and was dubbed by some locals as the "eighth wonder of the world" due to its size. It is a six-story brick building that is 1,300 ft long and 125 ft high, and encompasses some 17 mi of aisles. Its purpose when built was to perform the complete textile manufacturing cycle of worsted woolens, from raw material to finished fabric, under a single roof.</p><br>
<p>The surviving mill elements include the main building and a portion of a storehouse. The storehouse is a seven-story brick building located just east of the main building, of which approximately half remains from its original construction. The two sections (of an original four) were demolished in 2009, along with a number of other structures in the complex, including sections of the main mill building.</p><br>
<p>The main mill building as it now stands is divided into four parts, featuring Romanesque Revival styling executed in brick with granite and cast stone detailing. The first is an office section, which protrudes from the main body. Like the main part of the building it is six stories, but is topped by a clock tower. The other three sections were originally labelled D, E, and F, and extend eastward from the office. Section D is 33 window bays, E is 42, and F 45 window bays in length. There are three stairwell towers that interrupt the pier-and-spandrel construction of the length of the building on its south (street-facing) elevation. These stairhouses are where entry is gained to the premises, through doorways recessed under arches. The north facade, facing the river, is uniformly window bays, broken only by wrought iron fire escapes and a few bricked-up bays where the building was connected to the demolished A, B, and C sections via covered bridges over a railroad spur.</p><br>
<p>The mill complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 2010. At the time of the listing, section D was being converted to residential housing.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Fenno House–Woman&#39;s Friend Society is a historic building at 12–14 Hawthorne Boulevard in Salem, Massachusetts. The building was probably designed by Samuel Field McIntire, son of noted Salem building Samuel McIntire, and built 1811–12 for Joseph Fenno, a feltmaker turned merchant. The house was designed as a double house, although the reasons why Fenno wanted such a house are not known. He sold the property to his son in 1814 after moving to Columbia, Maine, and the two units were sold out of the family in 1822 and 1832.</p><br>
<p>Each half of the house then went through a succession of owners. The most notable of these was John Bertram, a wealthy merchant, railroad investor and philanthropist, who purchased the northern unit in 1879, and immediately arranged for its eventual donation to the Womans Friend Society on behalf of his daughter, Jennie Emmerton. The society acquired full ownership of that unit in 1884, and purchased the southern unit in 1894. The property remains in the societys possession, and is used by it in the provision of its services.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Col. Ralph Andrews House is a historic house at 517 W. Center St. in Beebe, Arkansas. Built c. 1885, it is one of a small number of houses in Beebe to survive from the early period of the citys growth. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with clapboard siding, and a Folk Victorian porch with turned posts and jigsawn brackets. The buildings cruciform plan is fairly typical of houses built in White County during the period; this is one of the best-preserved of those that remain.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Brown School is a historic school building at 200 Lynn St. in Peabody, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Negotiations for the school&#39;s construction began in 1911 with the appointment of a four-man building committee: Dr. John F. Jordan, James J. Sheehan, Henry W. Shaw and T.W. Reilly. The city acquired the property where the school sits from Augusta B. Trask and Eliza E. Manning.</p><br>
<p>The contractor for the project, John D. Jeffers of Peabody, submitted the lowest bid of $29,135.80. Ground was broken for the school in May 1911 and work on the building commenced the following month. The building was situated 150 feet from Lynn Street and surrounded by a pipe railing.</p><br>
<p>The citys oldest existing school was designed by architect Edwin Earp & Son of Lynn, who later sued the town for $3000 for fees in connection with the drawing of plans for the school. The town expended $33,000 for the building committee and for architects fees. It took about three months to complete the building that was finished on September 20, 1911. The school&#39;s one hundred pupils then occupied three rooms. The building was named for Samuel Brown, who died during the American Civil War in the Battle of Antietam.</p><br>
<p>The original school building was enlarged in 1920 to a ten-room building. Four more rooms were added in 1950. Both of these additions were designed by John M. Gray, who served as the town&#39;s de facto municipal architect.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the schools namesake, the library was named in the 1960s in memory of former Brown School teacher and librarian Nancy DAllasandro.</p><br>
<p>Principals of the Samuel Brown School: 1912-18 (?), 1918–52, Annie I. McCarthy, 1952-? Edward J. O&#39;Connor, Louis Surman, George "Ernie" Osborne.</p><br>
<p>The building was converted for use as senior housing in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Seaside Park is a coastal park located in Marblehead, Massachusetts. At a little over 14 acre, it is the largest of Marblehead&#39;s four public parks, and includes an early 20th century grandstand overlooking the baseball field. At its eastern edge, it provides fine views of Marblehead Harbor and Marblehead Neck. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 8, 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>Seaside Park is located on the east side of Marblehead, occupying a parcel of land bounded on the west by Atlantic Avenue, the north by Chestnut Street, the east by Harbor View Lane and Ladys Cove, and on the south by Wyman Lane. Its principal points of access are from Atlantic Avenue, with the other roads lined by mainly residential properties. The portion of the park nearest Atlantic Avenue is flat, and has developed athletic facilities, including a paved basketball court, and a baseball diamond whose outfield area is large enough for use as a football or soccer field. Behind the diamond is the Roundy Grandstand, and tennis courts and a playground extend north, behind the adjacent Our Lady Star of the Sea church complex. Behind the grandstand and tennis courts the land rises into a wooded area, through which trails circulate and lead toward the shore. Views of Ladys Cove and Marblehead Neck are only obtained from the easternmost part of the park, the higher rocky outcrops having been obscured by trees.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Marbleheads first three parks, Crocker Park, Baileys Headland, and Fort Sewall, were established between 1886 and 1890. The first land for Seaside Park was acquired in 1895, with the plan to develop it as a site for athletic activities. The inland portion, eventually increased by further acquisitions, was levelled and seeded, and improvements began to be added in the 1910s. The grandstand was built in 1916, in part at the request of a local semi-pro baseball league. The park was visited by President Calvin Coolidge when he summered at Marblehead in 1925. The first tennis courts were added in the 1930s, as was an ice skating rink, whose space has since taken over by more tennis courts. Lucille Ball landed on the baseball field in a helicopter. The grandstand underwent a major restoration in 1990. Pickleball courts were added in 2022.</p><br>

They are the -story, stone and log Swiss bank house ; stone Pennsylvania bank barn ; -story, vernacular stone farmhouse , stable, wagon shed, and privy. The Gehman family owned the farm from about 1767 to 1945. They were of German ancestry, originating in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Boyer–Mertz Farm, also known as Angstadt Farm, is a historic farm complex and national historic district located in Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The historic Boyer–Mertz Farm complex had its genesis in a land patent granted to John Coates on November 27, 1800 by John Penn and Richard Penn, descendants of Pennsylvanias founder, William Penn. That patent, which was subsequently transferred to Phillip Mertz on June 30, 1802 became the basis for possession of the farms acreage by the Mertz family until 1845 when it sold to Solomon and Benneville Boyer with Benneville Boyer ultimately retaining sole ownership of the property with his wife, Mary. In 1871, the Boyers improved the property by erecting a barn there, per that barns datestone. According to historians who researched the propertys history in preparation for its listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the Boyers were also likely responsible for erecting the brick tenant house and stone summer kitchen.</p><br>
<p>On April 26, 1901, Benneville Boyer resold the property, returning it to the Mertz family, members of whom were subsequently responsible for building the residence on the property which dates to 1905. The Mertzes retained control of the property until 1941 when it was resold to Morris Shafer, who then resold it to Kuney and Arlene Angstadt in 1945. Nearly thirty years later, on August 17, 1972, they transferred the property to Ernest Angstadt.</p><br>
<p>The Boyer–Mertz Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>In February 2017, a major storm moving through Maxatawny Township damaged part of the farm complex. The storm&#39;s strong winds lifted the roof off of one of the barns.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The Boyer–Mertz Farm has nine contributing buildings and eleven contributing structures, including a -story, brick tenant house (1871); brick-and-frame Pennsylvania bank barn (1871); and a -story, brick farmhouse (1905).

<p>Memorial Hall, originally known as Memorial Library, is a historic building on the University of Delaware campus in Newark, Delaware. Formerly housing the universitys library, it also serves as a memorial to the Delawareans who died in World War I. The building was designed by the Philadelphia firm of Day & Klauder as part of their overall master plan for the universitys central campus, which featured a consistent Georgian Revival architectural style. The library was built in 1923–25 under the supervision of university president Walter Hullihen, though it had to be scaled back from the original design for cost-saving reasons. It was remodeled and expanded in 1940 after a flood damaged part of the library collection. Library operations moved to the new Morris Library in 1963, and Memorial Hall now houses the UD Department of English.</p><br>
<p>Situated at a prominent location at the center of the Green, the universitys main common area, Memorial Hall is a -story, H-shaped building with a hipped-roofed central hall and gable-roofed wings. The architecture is Georgian, with brick walls, white wooden trim, and double-hung sash windows. The buildings main entrances are on the north and south sides, each of which features a portico with Ionic columns. The central hall houses the war memorial display.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, what is now the University of Delaware consisted of two separate institutions, Delaware College (whose campus now makes up the Old College Historic District) and the Womens College of Delaware. The two campuses were separated by about half a mile of sparsely developed "no mans land", which was purchased on behalf of Delaware College by Pierre S. du Pont in 1915. Soon thereafter, the college commissioned the Philadelphia firm of Frank Miles Day and Charles Klauder to design a master plan for the new land. The architects drafted a plan for a central "Green" surrounded by academic and residential buildings, with a large library building located midway between the mens and womens colleges.</p><br>
<h3>Fundraising and construction</h3><br>
<p>In 1918, Delaware College president Samuel Chiles Mitchell proposed making the planned library a memorial to the Delawareans who died in World War I, stating "Used by both colleges, it would be the dynamo of the whole institution."</p><br>
<p>Despite the successful campaign, funding problems continued as some of the pledged money failed to materialize and inflation drove up the cost of the building. The library committee balked at beginning construction without funds set aside for an endowment, despite warnings from committee member W. O. Sypherd that "Failure to build this Library now will be a moral failure, the results of which would be disastrous to the future welfare of the University." The situation was eventually resolved by securing additional pledges from the existing donors and by modifying the library design to reduce the construction cost.</p><br>
<p>At the groundbreaking ceremony on December 11, 1923, around 300 male students, alumni, and faculty dug out the buildings basement with the womens college students on hand to serve refreshments. The library cornerstone was laid on June 9, 1924, on the occasion of the universitys first joint commencement for both men and women. The building was complete by the end of the year, and most of the universitys library collections were moved in over Christmas break. The library opened for business at the beginning of the spring semester in January 1925 and was later formally dedicated at an elaborate ceremony on Memorial Day, May 23.</p><br>
<h3>Library</h3><br>
<p>Memorial Hall served as the universitys library from 1925 to 1963. It was the first facility shared by the womens and men&#39;s colleges (which continued to operate separately until 1945), and its prominent location halfway between the two at the center of the Green made the library the focal point of the campus. became known as the "kissing arches" due to their location on the dividing line between the male and female student populations.</p><br>
<p>On July 5, 1937, heavy rainfall caused flooding throughout much of the university campus including the Memorial Library stacks, which were located in the basement. While the university librarian and a few other people were able to save much of the collection, the disaster underscored the need for improvements to the building, which was already seen as inadequate. To this end the building was expanded in 1940, with the east and west wings extended outward and a new wing added to the south side to allow the library stacks (with an expanded capacity of over 200,000 volumes) to be housed above ground. The basement was remodeled to house seminar rooms. The library was rededicated on February 5, 1940, with the total cost of the project coming in at $220,000.</p><br>
<p>With the growing university placing an emphasis on expanding its library holdings, the collection had outgrown Memorial Hall by the early 1960s. As the building could not be expanded further without damaging the aesthetics and symmetry of the Green, a new and much larger library building was constructed nearby on South Green in 1962–63. After removal of the library collections, Memorial Hall was converted to office and classroom space.</p><br>
<h3>Recent history</h3><br>
<p>Memorial Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. After a $9.8 million renovation over a 15-month period in 1998–99, the building was rededicated for the second time on May 16, 1999. It currently houses the UD Department of English.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Memorial Hall is a symmetrical H-shaped building with one and a half stories and a full basement. It was designed by the Philadelphia firm of Day & Klauder as part of their overall campus master plan, which was drafted in 1917 with later revisions. The building features a Georgian Revival architectural style "reminiscent of Jefferson&#39;s designs for the University of Virginia", with exterior walls of Flemish bond brickwork and white wooden trim. The majority of the windows are double-hung 12 over 12 sash windows, some of which are set in arched frames. Both the north and south facades of the building feature flat-roofed porticoes with Ionic columns. As originally built in 1924, the building consisted of only the hipped-roofed central hall and cupola with low wings on the east and west sides. During the 1940 rebuilding the central hall was expanded to the south to provide a new above-ground space for the library stacks, and gable-roofed extensions were added to the east and west wings.</p><br>
<p>The central hall of the building houses the war memorial display and exhibition space. In its original form, the building housed library stacks in the basement and study areas and office space in the ground-floor wings. After the 1940 expansion, the stacks were moved to the south extension of the main hall and the basement was converted to classroom space.</p><br>
<h2>War memorial</h2><br>
<p>Memorial Hall is dedicated to the men and women from Delaware who died in World War I. The building&#39;s foyer contains a war memorial display consisting of four wall-mounted bronze tablets and a memorial book housed in a display case on a raised pedestal. Each page of the book contains the name of one of the 270 Delawareans who died in the war; the page is turned each weekday by cadets from the campus ROTC.</p><br>

<p>The Charles River Reservation -Upper Basin Headquarters  is located at the corner of Western Avenue and Soldiers Field Road in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a complex of seven buildings designed by architect William D. Austin in the Shingle and Colonial Revival styles and built between 1899 and 1940. The site served as the headquarters of the State-managed Charles River Reservation and as horse stables for the Charles River Speedway, a harness and bicycle racing track along present-day Soldiers Field Road. The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation  owns the Speedway Headquarters and considers it to be one of its origin properties.</p><br>
<p>Vacant since 2005, the property was redeveloped as a mixed-use commercial and cultural facility beginning in 2019 under DCR&#39;s Historic Curatorship Program by the Boston-based Architectural Heritage Foundation. The Speedway opened in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Speedway Headquarters was designed by local architect William D. Austin, known for his work on public buildings throughout Massachusetts, particularly in state parks and reservations. The complex consists of seven contiguous buildings arranged in a triangle around a courtyard. The buildings exhibit many features common to Shingle-style structures - wood shingle siding, an irregular roofline with cross-gables, turrets, and wide eaves - but also includes windows, shutters, and a portico with columns characteristic of Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Speedway and its surrounding area were designed by landscape architect Charles Eliot shortly before his death in 1897, and its construction was overseen by the Olmsted Brothers. The Speedway operated until at least the 1950s, and was eventually absorbed by the expansion of Soldiers Field Road into a limited-access parkway. The buildings of the Speedway headquarters continued to be used by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority for administrative and logistical purposes, through at least 2001.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 2010, and as a Boston Landmark in 2014. The complex was vacant at that time.</p><br>
<p>In April 2013 the Boston Landmarks Commission voted to designate the Charles River Speedway Administration Building as a Boston Landmark. The designation was subsequently approved by the Mayor and by City Council.</p><br>
<h2>Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>In May 2013 the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) announced a request for proposals from outside parties to rehabilitate, reuse, and maintain the Charles River Reservation Speedway Administration Building. The project was to be undertaken under the purview of the Historic Curatorship Program.</p><br>
<p>In August 2014, the DCR announced that a proposal submitted by the non-profit Architectural Heritage Foundation and its for-profit partner, 243 Dutton Interests LLC, had been selected for a forty-year lease of the property. The chosen proposal was to turn the run-down complex into a brewery/taproom, restaurant, maker space and retail shops for local artisans, and office space for a Brighton-based nonprofit. Initially, the proposal also included the construction of a multi-family housing unit in place of the adjacent 501-507 Western Ave. However, that plan was cancelled and AHF became the sole developer. The building on the site proposed for housing was demolished and became a car and bicycle parking lot for Speedway users.</p><br>
<p>Rehabilitation of the complex began in 2019. The first tenant, Notch Brewing, opened in July 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Terminal Storage Warehouse District is located at Medford and Terminal Streets in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It includes three large brick warehouse buildings which were built between 1910 and 1913. They are rare surviving elements of the commercial development of the Charlestown waterfront early in the 20th century. They were built by two separate companies which had common ownership. The buildings at 40 and 50 Terminal Street were built by the Terminal Wharf & Railroad Warehouse Company, and that at 267-281 Medford Street was built by the Terminal Storage Warehouse Company. They were built to serve as storage facilities for the transhipment by rail and ship of goods through the port. The buildings were vacated in 1984, and are being rehabilitated after many years of vacancy.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the warehouse at 267-281 Medford Street was renovated into apartments after a 17-year-long legal battle related to the building&#39;s location in the Terminal Storage Warehouse District and its proximity to the waterfront. During the renovations, much of the original longleaf pine decking of the building was salvaged and recycled.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 12, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Chestnut Hill Historic District encompasses the historic portion of the village of Chestnut Hill that lies in Brookline, Massachusetts, with only slight overlap into adjacent Newton. The 70 acre district is bounded on the north by Middlesex Road, on the east by Reservoir Lane, on the south by Crafts Road and Massachusetts Route 9, and on the west by Dunster Road. A small portion of the district extends south of Route 9, including a few houses and the Baldwin School on Heath Street. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of Chestnut Hill, including its colonial roots, lies just over the line in Newton, and was also the part of the village that was the first to be developed as a suburban residential area. When the Brookline section was being planned for development, Frederick Law Olmsted was consulted in 1888, but his plans were not executed. The area was developed between then and about 1920, with large, high-quality houses on well-proportioned lots. Most of the houses in the district are either Colonial Revival or Shingle in their styling; there are also a few earlier Queen Anne houses and a number of later Craftsman-style houses, especially in the Reservoir Lane area which was the last to be developed.</p><br>
<p>Several prominent area architectural firms were engaged in the development of properties in the district. Chapman & Frazer (later Chapman, Frazer & Blinn) were responsible for 29 of the more than 120 houses in the district; Horace Frazer lived in the district, at 471 Heath Street. Putnam & Cox designed seven homes, generally in the Arts and Crafts style, and William Putnam also lived in the district. Arthur Bowditch designed one house, as did the firm of Hartwell & Richardson.</p><br>
<p>The Highland Spring Brewery Bottling and Storage Buildings, including the Oliver Ditson Company Building, are located at 154-166 Terrace St. in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. This complex consists of several brick industrial buildings. constructed over time beginning in 1892. The main building, a four-story Romanesque structure at 164 Terrace Street, was built that year by the Highland Spring Brewery. A second, five-story Georgian Revival building was added in 1912; this building was acquired in 1925 by the Oliver Ditson Company, a leading 19th century publisher of sheet music.</p><br>
<p>The Highland Spring Brewery was founded in 1867 by a pair of immigrants, one Irish and the other German. The enterprise was a significant success, producing lagers, ales, and porters, and eventually gaining a nationwide reputation. In part for legal reasons, the two buildings built by the company (one for production, the other for storage and bottling) were connected by a tunnel and piping. The brewer ceased operations when Prohibition began in 1920. One of the company&#39;s brewmasters opened the Croft Brewery in the 1892 building in 1933 after Prohibition ended, the storage building having been sold to the Ditson Company and significantly altered for its use. Croft was acquired by Narragansett Brewing Company in the 1952, and operated on the premises for just one year before closing the plant and moving production to their Rhode Island Brewery until 1981 when it too closed. In 1958 the building at 164 Terrace St. was acquired local pickle maker R & S Pickle Works. The company produced kosher pickles in the building until the mid-1980s when the new owner Hebrew National closed the plant. 164 Terrace street remained unoccupied until 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Ditson Company printed sheet music in the 1912 building at 154 Terrace street until 1931, when it was acquired by the Theodore Presser Company, which continued to operate there until the 1950s. Some time later the building was acquired by the Barb Corp and once again used as a printing plant operating as the Salem Press. Salem Press ceased operating in mid 1980s after which the building served as a warehouse for Graphique de France for the balance of the decade after which it remained vacant. The buildings have, since 2008, been rehabilitated into low-cost housing.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 2010.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Longwood Historic District is roughly bounded by Chapel, St. Marys, Monmouth, and Kent Sts. in Brookline, Massachusetts. The area was developed in the mid-19th century by David Sears and Amos Adams Lawrence as a fashionable residential area, and retains a number of architecturally distinguished buildings, including the Longwood Towers complex at 20 Chapel Street, Christ&#39;s Church Longwood, and Church of Our Saviour, Brookline. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Originally the property of CPT John Hull and Judith Quincy Hull. Judge Sewall came into possession of this tract, which embraced more than 350 acres, through Hannah Quincy Hull (Sewall) who was the Hull&#39;s only daughter. John Hull in his youth lived in Muddy River Hamlet, in a little house which stood near the Sears Memorial Church. Hull removed to Boston, where he amassed a large fortune for those days. Judge Sewall probably never lived on his Brookline estate. (l)</p><br>
<p>During the early colonial period, the Longwood area of eastern Brookline was part of the large farming estate of Samuel Sewall. Prior to 1850, it remained largely farmland, bisected only by Colchester Street. In the first half of the 19th century David Sears and Amos Lawrence, both prominent Boston businessmen, bought up large tracts of what had been Sewalls estate. The arrival of the Brookline Branch Railroad (now the MBTA Green Line D branch) served as an impetus to develop the area more fully. Some of the houses built by Lawrence and Sears became homes to friends and business associates, but neither lived in the area. (Lawrence had a home in the Cottage Farm area just to the north across Beacon Street.) Sears was responsible for the construction of Christs Church, Longwood, while Lawrence funded the construction of the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, Brookline, two of the non-residential buildings in the district.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly triangular in shape, bounded on the east by St. Marys Street (on the town line with Boston) and on the west by Kent Street. It is bounded on the north by Beacon Street, but excludes buildings on the at street, and is bounded on the south by the MBTA right-of-way, which curves along the north bank of the Muddy River. The centerpiece of this area is Longwood Park, laid out by Sears, and its most prominent feature is the Longwood Towers, a group of Gothic Revival apartment towers built in the 1920s. Despite their large size, they do not detract from the older buildings that make up the bulk of the neighborhood. Most of the residences are Second Empire in style, with some Gothic elements, including one of the churches.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin County Fairgrounds are located at 85 Wisdom Way in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Established in 1865 , they are among the oldest and best-preserved fairgrounds in the state, featuring an oval racetrack and a variety of exhibition and midway buildings. The grounds were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Franklin County Fairgrounds are located southwest of downtown Greenfield, across the Green River on a high plateau. The property is over 27 acre in size, ringed by public roadways that are relatively sparsely developed. Its largest feature is an oval racetrack occupying the southern portion of the grounds; the midway is located adjacent to the northern part of the track, while the permanent exhibition halls are in the northeast part of the property. The oldest building in the complex is called The Roundhouse; it is a two-story circular structure that is 72 ft in diameter. It features a conical roof and novelty siding. The entrance gates were built in a Mission style in 1917. The exhibition halls are long rectangular single story buildings. Most of the buildings on the fairgrounds were built before 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin County Fair was established in 1848, and originally took place near the Greenfield town center. It was eventually crowded off that land by expansion of the town and the routing of the railroad across part of the grounds, and it moved further out in 1860. The present fairgrounds were established in 1865. The property originally included a racetrack, although in a different configuration; the present arrangement of that feature was made in 1895.</p><br>
<p>The Leverett Center Historic District is an expansive 467 acre historic district encompassing the historic heart of the rural community of Leverett in eastern Franklin County, Massachusetts. The district is focused on a two-mile stretch of Depot and Montague Roads, at whose center is the civic heart of the town. It includes the 1838 Greek Revival First Congregational Church, the town hall, whose present form was achieved in 1895 by raising the 1845 construction and building a first floor underneath it, and the Colonial Revival Field Memorial Library . It also includes a town pound  built c. 1822, and a number of 18th century residences. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Leverett was first settled in the late 17th century as part of Sunderland, and was separately incorporated in 1774. Its town center, located at the junction of Depot, Montague, and Shutesbury Roads, arose by the placement there of the communitys first meeting house not long after incorporation. The oldest surviving residences in the center date to about 1750. Its single largest period of growth lasted until about 1830, which included construction of the towns first school c. 1800 (94 Depot Road), and the town pound. Modest growth continued in the mid-19th century, when a railroad line was run nearby. This provided the impetus for some small-scale industrial activity, evidence of which survives in a single modest wood-frame factory building.</p><br>
<p>The Wilder Homestead is located on Ashfield Road , 0.25 mi south of the Upper Road/Ashfield Road junction, in Buckland, Massachusetts. The property includes three buildings, two of which contribute to its significance. The house was built c. 1775, and is a fairly typical Georgian colonial two story house, in which the rear roof extends down to the first floor in saltbox fashion. A 19th century ell extends from the east side of the house. The house was built for Gardner Wilder, who had recently moved to the area, and had purchased 200 acre to farm.</p><br>
<p>The second contributing structure is a barn, whose construction was also begun by Gardner Wilder c. 1775. It was significantly enlarged with a full-height full-width extension in 1840, and a second extension, a -story equipment shed, was added in the 20th century. The oldest portion shows typical English colonial post and beam construction techniques, and its beams were axe-hewn, unlike those of the first addition, which show saw marks. The equipment shed was built using modern balloon framing methods.</p><br>
<p>The property remained in the hands of Gardner Wilder&#39;s descendants until 1981, when the homestead and a 58 acre parcel of land were donated to the Buckland Historical Society. The Society moved a 19th-century shoe shop to the property in 1991, and operates the site as a historic house museum. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Marshall R. Sanguinet House is located on 4729 Collinwood Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 7, 1983.</p><br>
<p>Called the dean of Fort Worth architects, Marshall R. Sanguinet helped design over 20 houses in the Arlington Heights area. The house on Collinwood was built in 1894. A dining room was added in 1906. He lived in the house until his death in 1936. The Sanguinet family sold the house in 1952.</p><br>
