<p>Rutherfurd Hall is a historic house located in Allamuchy Township, Warren County, New Jersey, US.</p><br>
<p>The property was added as a historic district to the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 2013, for its significance in architecture and social history.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rutherfurd Hall was the estate of husband and wife Winthrop Chanler Rutherfurd and Alice Morton Rutherfurd. After Alice&#39;s death from appendicitis, Rutherfurd married his second wife Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in 1902 and included a mansion, gardens, boathouse, swimming beach, hydroelectric powerhouse, 9-hole golf course, and kennels.</p><br>
<p>Rutherfurd Hall is one of the last extant large country estates in New Jersey constructed at the turn of the 20th century, and represents the country life movement which began in America following the Civil War, when the wealthy constructed large estates in rustic settings near major cities.</p><br>
<p>President Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited the estate in the 1940s to meet with Lucy Rutherfurd.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, the property was donated to the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Charity, who used it initially as a retreat and training center. Known as "Villa Madonna" during this time, the Daughters later used the building as a rest home for retired nuns. An additional wing was added to the mansion in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The passage of the 2004 Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act, which placed the property in the highly development-restricted Preservation Area, dashed hopes by the religious order to sell the property to speculative development interests and they brought suit against the State of New Jersey. The Highlands Act was upheld in court, yet this contentious action eventually yielded to the more appropriate land use that exists today in which the historic character of the former estate and the integrity of the Highlands natural resources are maintained under the current ownership and the adaptive reuse of the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was sold to the State of New Jersey and the Allamuchy Township School District in 2007.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the State of New Jersey awarded $50,000 to the school district for a preservation project at Rutherfurd Hall.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was designed by Whitney Warren, and is a Tudor Revival brick and stone structure occupying three floors, with approximately 38 rooms. It has been expanded to an additional 50 rooms. The grounds were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, with the intent of creating a picturesque landscape of "well-kept, simple neatness."</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>Rutherfurd Hall is owned and managed by the Allamuchy Township School District, and is used as a community education and cultural facility. The general information phone number is (908) 852–1894. It is also rented for private functions. The Rutherfurd Hall Foundation supports projects at the site.</p><br>
<p>The property is located next to Allamuchy Mountain State Park.</p><br>
<p>The Helper Historic District is a historic district comprising the center of Helper, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>When originally listed on the NRHP in 1979, the district was called the Helper Commercial District. It was bounded by Janet Street to the north and Locust Street to the south, and by First West Street to the west and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) yards to the east. It comprised 110 buildings, 98 of which are considered contributing structures. Typical buildings are one to two stories tall in a variety of styles, mostly built in red brick. The district included a number of modest one-story residences, built by the railroad and mining companies in the manner of a company town. The district represented Helper&#39;s development as the commercial center of the local coal-mining industry, and as a railroad service center.</p><br>
<p>The most significant structures in the district are the Helper City Hall and the Civic Auditorium. Other important contributing structures include the Railroad Chapel and the Catholic church. Several sites are associated with Japanese, Greek, South Slav, and northern Italian immigration to the area. Many structures are associated with the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW), including the train station. During the 1930s the town center was extensively altered by Works Progress Administration forces, who built retaining walls and channelized the Price River, filling in the bed in the area that is now the northern part of the district.</p><br>
<p>The Helper Commercial District was listed on the NRHP on July 24, 1979. The Helper Post Office is individually listed on the National Register within the district. The district underwent a significant expansion and renaming in 2022.</p><br>
<p>The Concord Historic District encompasses the least altered portion of the historic heart of Concord, New Hampshire. The 25 acre district, located just north of the modern commercial and civic heart of the city, includes the city&#39;s oldest surviving house, the site of its first religious meetinghouse, and the Pierce Manse, a historic house museum that was home to President Franklin Pierce during his rise to national prominence. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The original heart of Concord was platted out in 1726, on a terrace above the floodplains on the western banks of the Merrimack River. The lots, about 1.5 acre in size, were arrayed in the vicinity of Horseshoe Pond, and it is the earliest of these that make up the district. The area is characterized by a uniformity of setting, despite a diversity in architectural style, in part because most of the buildings are similarly-sized dwellings set on equal-sized lots. Larger buildings, including a church, school, and professional offices, stand on larger lots.</p><br>
<p>The oldest surviving house, that of Reverend Timothy Walker, was built in 1735. It was also the first house in the area to be garrisoned (fortified and surrounded by a palisade) against Native attacks. The district was also home to Concord&#39;s first meeting house (no longer extant). The residential structures in the district represent the variety of architectural styles popular during the 19th century, including the fine Greek Revival Pierce Manse, a Victorian Gothic cottage at 278 North Main Street, and the late Gothic brick house at 266 North Main Street. There are only a few buildings in the district built after the 1920s, among them the Lutheran church.</p><br>
<p>The Maple Avenue/Maple Lane Historic District is a historic area of Highland Park, Illinois, United States. The twelve-building district features four houses designed by George W. Maher and one designed by John S. Van Bergen.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The 9 acre district features four homes designed by George W. Maher. Three of these houses also feature landscaping by Jens Jensen. The H. Scarborough House was completed around 1907 and is typical of Maher&#39;s designs with broad massings and wide overhangs. The D. W. Lamborn House is a basic rectangular design, but is otherwise a typical Maher design. The R. Smith House has arches over the front bay and a broad, overhanging roof. The three-story Prairie School house is on a 2 acre wooded lot. It was extensively remodeled in 1972, but the exterior was preserved. The Samuel H. Bingham House is the lone Maher design without a Jensen landscape. It is unusual for a Maher design with a shingled second story exterior. It also lacks canted walls and segmented arches.</p><br>
<p>The Herman Pomper House, a John S. Van Bergen design, is also found in the district. This house, completed in 1925, features brown wood trim on stucco. The cruciform house is typical of Prairie School design. Henry Dubin design an International Style house at 2350 Maple Lane in 1949. Like his other house, Dubins dwelling is steel frame. Six other houses contribute to the districts historic and architectural theme.</p><br>
<p>The district was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Christian Hill Historic District is a historic district and neighborhood in Alton, Illinois. The district is located west of Altons central business district on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. A primarily residential area, the district includes 274 buildings, of which 266 are contributing buildings to its historic character. Development in the district began in the 1830s; in addition to residential development, the Illinois State Prison was constructed in the neighborhood in 1833. While Altons economy declined during the Panic of 1837, development in the district continued through the early 20th century, and Christian Hill became a desirable neighborhood for Alton residents. The hill acquired its name from, Saints Peter and Paul Church, a Catholic church built in the 1850s which was the cathedral of the Diocese of Alton until the diocese moved to Springfield.</p><br>
<p>The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.</p><br>
<p>Union Army </p><br>
<p>The Alton Military Prison was a prison located in Alton, Illinois, built in 1833 as the first state penitentiary in Illinois and closed in 1857. During the American Civil War, the prison was reopened in 1862 to accommodate the growing population of Confederate prisoners of war and ceased to be prison at the end of the war in 1865. The prison building was demolished not long after the Civil War. All that remains of the former prison site is a section of ruin wall that is maintained by the State of Illinois as an historic site. The prison site is included in the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Illinois State Penitentiary</h3><br>
<p>In 1833, Illinois State Prison in Alton was built as the first state penitentiary in Illinois opening with twenty-four prison cells. In 1857, the prison was closed and replaced by a new state prison in Joliet. At the time of closure the Alton prison had a total of two-hundred-fifty-six cells.</p><br>
<p>Female prisoners were also incarcerated at Alton Penitentiary. From 1835 to 1858 sixty-five women and three thousand men were sentenced to Alton. Female prisoners endured the same degrading conditions as men while their gender exposed them to added indignities and abuses. In 1845 male inspectors claimed that, "One female prisoner is of more trouble than twenty males." Women served, on average, 0.9 years and 47% were pardoned by the governor.</p><br>
<h3>American Civil War prison</h3><br>
<p>In 1862, the USA government reopened the prison to house Confederate prisoners of war during the American Civil War. The prison housed over 11,000 prisoners during the war, including Confederate officer Ebenezer Magoffin. Deaths at the prison were more common than at other Union prisons, and prisoners faced harsh conditions and regular outbreaks of diseases such as smallpox and rubella. 1,534 Confederate soldiers and many Union soldiers and civilians are known to have died at the prison.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>The Alton prison closed again in 1865 and was later demolished; all that remains of the structure is a section of a wall. The prison site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974. It is also part of the Christian Hill Historic District, which was listed on the National Register in 1978. The Alton prison site is maintained by the State of Illinois as a state historic site.</p><br>
<p>The Dougherty Mission House is a house located at 18459 Mission Road in Peninsula Township, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1956 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. The house was certainly one of the first frame buildings constructed in Grand Traverse County, and is thought to be the first post and beam house constructed in Michigan&#39;s lower peninsula north of Grand Rapids.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1839, the Presbyterian Board of Missions sent Reverend Peter Dougherty to the Grand Traverse area. He originally chose a site at what is now Elk Rapids, Michigan, and constructed a log church there. However, in May 1839, Chief Ahgosa of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, asked Dougherty to move to what is now Old Mission, Michigan. There, Dougherty established a small settlement, moving the mission church from the Elk Rapids site and adding a school and cabins. In 1840, Dougherty married Maria Higgins of Princeton, New Jersey, and the couple returned to Michigan to live at the Old Mission site. Peter and Maria Dougherty eventually had nine children born in Michigan</p><br>
<p>In 1842, Dougherty realized he needed a more permanent residence for his family, and constructed the house that is currently on this site. and is thought to be the first post and beam house constructed in Michigan&#39;s lower peninsula north of Grand Rapids.</p><br>
<p>By 1850, the village around the mission included 40 log homes, in addition to the church and school. However, in that same year, the treaty with the Native Americans was renegotiated, resulting in the local populace purchasing land across the bay near what is now Omena, Michigan. In 1852, Dougherty moved his mission across the bay to Omena, establishing a "New Mission" at the site. The house at the old mission remained standing, unused, until 1861, when Dougherty sold it to Solon Rushmore. Rushmore farmed the surrounding land until his death in 1870. His cousin Duranty Rushmore then purchased the property. Duranty Rushmore continued farming, but soon realized that he could capitalize on the new tourist market opening in the area. He turned Dougherty&#39;s mission house into an inn, called the "Rushmore House." The Rushmores at some point in the late 19th century added the rear kitchen addition to the house, and added the front wraparound porch near the turn of the century.</p><br>
<p>Duranty Rushmore died in 1894, passing the property along to his son William, who with his wife Minnie continued to farm and run the inn. However, on William&#39;s death in 1916, the property passed to his son Maurice who lived in New Jersey, and although Minnie Rushmore continued to summer there, it was apparently no longer used as an inn. The house stayed in the hands of the Rushmore family for nearly 100 years. At some point, a replica of the original 1839 mission church was built nearby, and in 1956, the home and mission were placed on the Michigan Historic Sites Register.</p><br>
<p>In 1961, Maurice Rushmore sold the Dougherty house to Virginia Larson, who lived nearby at the time. Larson used the house for storage, but with the intention of eventually turning it into a museum. After her death in 2004, her heirs, David and Dan Larson, granted an option to purchase the home and its 15 surrounding acres to the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy. In 2006, the house was purchased by Peninsula Township, and restoration work began. Nearby structures, such as the Rushmore-era ice house and outhouse, were restored, and the roof was replaced. As of 2014, it is administered by the Peter Dougherty Society.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Dougherty Mission House is a two-story symmetrical frame structure on a fieldstone foundation with a side-gable roof and centered front gable. The sides are clad with clapboard siding and the roof with cedar shingles. There are attached porches on three sides of the house, and a kitchen addition at the rear that was likely added in the late 19th century. The front facade has a full-width porch with a center entrance. Four windows line the first floor around the entrance, placed nearly regularly, save for one offset window. The second floor has a center sash window located in the gable, flanked by two smaller eyebrow windows.</p><br>
<p>One side of the house has six windows in the main section: three on the first floor, two on the second, and one in the attic. The other side lacks the attic window. There are additional windows in the rear and in the kitchen addition.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house contains 1160 square feet of space on each floor, plus an additional 370 square feet in the kitchen addition. The first floor contains eight rooms: a front entryway, parlor, and master bedroom, plus a second bedroom, two smaller rooms, a small bathroom, and the kitchen in the rear. A stairway leads to the second floor, where six bedrooms open off a central hall.</p><br>
<p>Also on the grounds are an original detached kitchen, an outhouse, and an ice house. The nearby replica mission church is a single-room front-gable log building.</p><br>
<p>The Corner Store and Office, also known as the Frogmore Emporium, Macdonald, Wilkins, and Company Store and Mark D. Batchelder Office, is a historic general store, residence and, eventually, office building located on Saint Helena Island near Frogmore, Beaufort County, South Carolina. Primarily built as a house, it was built about 1877, and is a two-story, wood-frame building with a gable roof. It features a two-story wraparound porch. The adjacent one-story house was built about 1905. The store sold provisions to the islanders, most of whom were African American, and became one of the major centers of commercial and social activity on St. Helena. The home and businesses in the building were owned by Cameron Thomas and his relatives for most of the 20th century. The family lived in the back and upstairs portion of the house, while the front included a general store and liquor store, with the small house added on used as a residence for relatives. The store also had the only gas pump on the island for many years.</p><br>
<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Green is a historic open-space located on Saint Helena Island near Frogmore, Beaufort County, South Carolina. It is the site of community meetings, celebrations, and other gatherings. The Green was the site of the first Darrah Hall, an auditorium and community center built about 1885 by Penn School, and destroyed in 1893. Since that time the Green has continued to serve as a gathering place for the people of St. Helena Island. At the rear of The Green is the Knights of Wise Men Lodge.</p><br>
<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Plantation Tabby Ruins is a historic archeological site located on Saint Helena Island near Frogmore, Beaufort County, South Carolina. The ruins are significant as an example of early- to mid-19th century tabby construction. The ruins are the remains of an outbuilding associated with the Riverside Plantation and have great archaeological potential.</p><br>
<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Church Site encompasses a location in Leesburg, Virginia that was the site of property of the Methodist church from c. 1770 to 1900. On May 11, 1766, Nicholas Minor, a founder of the new town of Leesburg, deeded a half acre of property to Robert Hamilton, a Methodist convert, for ″four pounds current money of Virginia, for no other use but for a church or meeting house and grave yard.″ The site is the earliest known Methodist-owned church site in America. On September 28, 1768, the deed was delivered to members of the Methodist society. The deed, recorded in Deed Book L at pages 451–453, may be seen today in the Clerk&#39;s office of the Loudoun Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>Soon thereafter a soft stone building was erected. It was replaced in the late 1780s by a larger structure, which was further enlarged in the early 1800s. The mixed-race congregation split in the late 1840s over the issue of slavery, and a legal battle began for control over the building. In 1897 a Loudoun County court ordered the property to be sold and the proceeds to be divided between the two congregations. The church was demolished c. 1900 and its building materials used elsewhere in the city. The site was purchased in 1961 by the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Church as a historic landmark.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>

<p>The Henry J. Crippen House is a historic two-family house at 189-191 North Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire. Built about 1879, it is one of a dwindling number of little-altered surviving Second Empire residences on the city&#39;s Main Street. Now converted to professional offices, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Henry J. Crippen House is located north of downtown Concord, on the west side of North Main Street at its junction with Pearl Street. It is a -story masonry structure, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor in the attic level. The front facade is symmetrically arranged, with a pair of entry doors under a portico supported by wooden piers with recessed panel bases and brackets beneath the dentiled cornice. The doors and windows are all topped by segmented arches with cast iron keystones. The cornice of the roof is studded with paired heavy brackets and equally heavy dentil molding. Above the mansard portion of the roof is another band of molding. The paired entries are flanked on either side by projecting bays that rise a full two stories, and are topped in the mansard layer by dormers with projecting hoods. The south elevation of the house is distinguished from the north by the presence of a two-story half octagonal tower projection, in front of which is a side porch with ornately decorated balustrade and supports; the north facade has a simple two story projecting bay.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1879 by Lorenzo Brown, who sold one of its two units in 1878, and the other in 1879. The house is typical of mid-19th century Second Empire buildings that once lined North Main Street in larger numbers; most of them have either been demolished or altered significantly. The second unit&#39;s buyer was Henry J. Crippen, an English immigrant who became a prominent local railroad financier and educator. The Crippen family owned the house until 1955. In 1982, it underwent a historically sensitive rehabilitation for use as professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Downing Jr. House is a historic house at 33 Pleasant Street in Concord, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1851, it was home for fifty years of Lewis Downing Jr., president of the Abbot-Downing Company, a nationally known manufacturer of coaches, and is the only surviving building associated with that business. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lewis Downing Jr. House is located about two blocks west of Main Street in central Concord, on the south side of Pleasant Street (USA Route 202). The house is basically rectangular, with cross-gable sections projecting from the sides. Its notable features include the paired brackets in the eaves, the chimneys, and the side porch, which retains some of its original styling despite 20th-century repairs and replacements. A late-19th-century garage at the rear of the property also has decorative touches such as bracketed eaves, and a side entrance framed by arched latticework.</p><br>
<p>This house was built in 1851 for Lewis Downing Jr., president of the Abbot-Downing Company, a nationally known manufacturer of coaches, and is the only surviving building associated with that business. It is a modest example of Italianate architecture, and is typical of Concords mid-19th-century upper-middle-class residential construction. Downings father had established a carriage-making business in Concord in 1813. In 1826, Downing Sr. and partner J. Stephen Abbott developed the very successful Concord coach. Downing Jr. took the helm of his father&#39;s business in 1865 and oversaw its greatest period of growth, opening shops in New York and Vermont, and selling products internationally as far away as Africa and Australia. His house, in which he lived until his death in 1901, remained in the family until 1919, and now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Potomac Mills was a mill complex located along the Potomac River roughly.5 mi downriver of Shepherdstown. Built in 1826, the complex was originally used as a gristmill. In 1829, the mill began producing cement for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal&#39;s construction. The factory continued to produce cement after the canal opened, and it shipped its product along the canal to other cities. Flooding and drought conditions in the 1880s led the mill to reduce its operations, and by 1901 the mill closed permanently.</p><br>
<p>The remaining buildings from the mill occupy an 18 acre site and are mostly in ruins. The buildings include the main mill building, several lime kilns, a headrace wall, and an office building. The stone foundation of the mill&#39;s dam, which extends across the river into Washington County, Maryland, is also still part of the site. The mill site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The North Bellingham Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery are a pair of adjacent cemeteries in Bellingham, Massachusetts. They are located on the north side of Hartford Avenue  a short way east of its junction with Interstate 495. The municipally-owned North Bellingham Cemetery is a roughly 1 acre plot, and is the oldest cemetery in the town, holding the graves of many of the town&#39;s founders. Its earliest recorded burial was in 1712, and the last was in 1888. Oak Hill Cemetery, a still-active cemetery, is a privately owned 2.5 acre parcel established in 1849. The two cemeteries combine to show the full range of changing funerary tastes from colonial days to the present.</p><br>
<p>The cemeteries were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Medway Village Historic District encompasses a historic 19th century industrial village in southeastern Medway, Massachusetts. The village grew as a consequence of the textile industry that developed on the Charles River in the area beginning in the later years of the 18th century, and running through most of the 19th century. The district is an area covering 60 acre that includes more than 240 historically significant structures, most of which were built between 1831 and 1897.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Oaks, also known as the Cooler House, is a historic plantation house located on Saint Helena Island near Frogmore, Beaufort County, South Carolina. It was built about 1855, and is a two-story, vernacular frame I-House. Edward L. Pierce chose The Oaks as his headquarters during the military occupation of St. Helena during the American Civil War. The Oaks was the center for military and agricultural activities on the island. On June 18, 1862, Ellen Murray, who had ten days earlier arrived from Pennsylvania, opened the Penn School for Freedmen in a back room of the house. The house also served as a hotel for military personnel from Port Royal, superintendents, and teachers.</p><br>
<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Panguitch Historic District is a historic district that comprises the center of Panguitch, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It included 379 contributing buildings and two contributing objects.</p><br>
<p>The most prominent and substantial house is the Ira Hatch House (1896), on a full acre located at 329 E. Center (37.823279&deg;N latitude, 112.429197&deg;W longitude). It is "a two-story brick central-block-with-projecting-wings house type with a mix of Victorian Eclectic and Queen Anne elements such as the square tower", and it "was the highest valued ($6,000) residence on the 1930 census." The house was in fact designed by noted Salt Lake City architect Richard Kettling.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district encompasses the historical portion of the town, comprising 642 structures, of which 379 are considered contributing structures to the historic district. Most of the buildings in the district are residences built between 1890 and 1930, with a proportion of commercial buildings at the center of town. Most buildings are built in red brick, many using a distinctive deep red brick with soft edges that was produced near Panguitch between 1915 and 1940. Many houses are of a distinctive local style with a square plan and a pyramidal roof, incorporating projecting bays. The district also includes 1950s and 1960s ranch houses and motel courts. The town is laid out in a grid, conforming to usual practices in Utah&#39;s Mormon communities.</p><br>
<p>Notable buildings listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places include the Panguitch Carnegie Library, the Panguitch Social Hall and the William T., Jr., and Mary Isabell R. Owens House.</p><br>
<p>The Panguitch Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Concord Historic District encompasses most of the commercial heart of downtown Concord, New Hampshire, United States. Incorporated in 1734, Concord became the state capital in 1808 and the seat of Merrimack County in 1823. Economic growth followed, due in part to these government institutions and also to the rise of industry along the Merrimack River, which flows through the city east of the downtown area, and the arrival in the 1840s of the railroad. The New Hampshire State House was built in 1819 south of the traditional center of the city , and the commercial heart of the city began to take shape along the First New Hampshire Turnpike south of the State House . The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The district is centered on North and South Main Street, between Loudon Road/Centre Street in the north and Hills Avenue in the south. It also includes properties on North State Street between Pleasant and School streets, as well as some on the side streets extending for one block on either side of Main Street. It does not include the New Hampshire State House or its grounds, which are listed as part of the Concord Civic District.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings in district were constructed in the second half of the 19th century. The oldest wood-frame building is the 1819 wood frame Upham-Walker House on Park Street, which is separately listed on the National Register. The first brick commercial building in Concord, the Merrimack County Bank building at 47 North Main Street, was built in 1808 and significantly altered in the 1860s; it is also separately listed. Following the arrival of the railroad, there was a flurry of building activity in the 1850s and 1860s, in which time many of Main Street&#39;s brick buildings were built.</p><br>
<p>The Gershom Durgin House is a historic house at 391 Franklin Highway in Andover, New Hampshire. Probably built between 1808 and 1820, it is a well-preserved example of an early 19th-century Cape Cod style house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gershom Durgin House is located in a rural setting in central eastern Andover, on the north side of Franklin Highway (New Hampshire Route 11), just west of its junction with Agony Hill Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, resting on a granite foundation, with a side-gable roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance consisting of a board door fastened by metal hinges, with a four-light transom window above. The interior follows a Federal period central hall plan, a central hall flanked by parlor spaces on either side, and the kitchen in the northeast. The southwest parlor has the finest woodwork, with a Federal style fireplace surround, wall paneling, and trim. Just northeast of the building stands a 19th-century barn, which has a saltbox profile.</p><br>
<p>The exact construction date of the house is not known. The property&#39;s first documented owner, Gershom Durgin, was a clockmaker who moved here from Hanover between 1808 and 1820, and it is assumed that he built this house. It is a well-preserved example of the Cape Cod style, and is notable locally as an example of a single-story double house with two rooms deep and two chimneys, a plan more often found in two-story houses of the period in New Hampshire. Durgin never married, and the house was inherited by his sisters upon his death in 1851. The house passed out of the family in 1893.</p><br>
<p>The Endicott Hotel  is a historic hotel building at 1-3 South Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire. Completed in 1894, it is the only known surviving work in the state of the regionally prominent Damon Brothers architects, and it was the first major commercial building on South Main Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Endicott Hotel is prominently located in downtown Concord, at the southeast corner of South Main Street and Pleasant Street Extension. It is a four-story brick building, with a basement that is partially exposed due to the lot&#39;s sloping terrain. Its most prominent feature is the oriel tower at the northwest corner, a signature element of Damon Brothers design. The ground-floor storefronts facing South Main Street are finished in black tile, an Art Deco alteration of the 1940s, which are the only major exterior alteration. The main building entrance is recessed in the center of the South Main Street facade, with an arched window above it on the second floor, and a heavily bracketed balcony on the third floor. The rightmost window bay has a projecting oriel bay on the second and third floors.</p><br>
<p>The building was completed in 1894 to a design by the regionally notable Damon Brothers architects. It was the citys first large commercial building south of Pleasant Street, and the first devoted exclusively to commercial activities. (The earlier buildings included civic and social meeting spaces on upper levels.) Its exterior has undergone only modest alterations. The buildings first owner was George Blanchard, under whose ownership it was used for commercial and office space. In 1908 it was purchased by John Butler Smith, who converted it to a hotel serving travelers arriving at the nearby railroad station, and gave the building its present name. In 1985 the upper floors were converted to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Fairmont Opera House in Fairmont, Minnesota was built in 1901. Frank A. Day, editor of the Fairmont Sentinel, prodded local businessmen to establish an opera house starting in 1899. The Fairmont Opera House Company acquired the land in July, 1901 and began construction. The first grand opening was on February 11, 1902, with the opening show being "The Chaperone" performed by the Frank L. Perley Singing Comedians. From 1902 through 1912, it housed a variety of events such as traveling stock companies, local talent shows, graduation ceremonies, musicals, conventions, and political meetings. In 1912, W.L. Nicholas and Billy Hay became the managers, changed its name to the Haynic Theater, and began to show movies there. In 1926, the house was remodeled to accommodate live stock companies, road shows, and movies. Billy Hay died in 1926, and the opera house was rechristened the Nicholas Theatre, with a grand opening on July 27, 1927. The 1927 opening introduced an organ by Marr and Colton, complete with sound effects such as drums, a xylophone, car horns, horses&#39; hoof beats, cymbals, and other novelties. The Nicholas Theater was used exclusively as a movie house until 1980.</p><br>
<p>In July 1979, organizers led by Dr. Robert Arneson and his wife Mary began an effort to list the theater on the National Register of Historic Places, which was approved in February, 1980 by the Minnesota Historical Society. A nonprofit group bought the building for $51,000 in November 1980, and organized efforts to remodel and repair the building.</p><br>
<p>The St. John the Baptist Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox chapel in Naknek, Alaska, United States. It is traditionally said to have been built in 1886 and enlarged in 1914. It is a simple single story wood-frame building. It consists of a single chamber, measuring 103" wide and 30&#39;3" long, which houses the nave and altar, and a small vestibule. Analysis of the construction indicates that the vestibule and a portion of the nave were constructed after the original construction date. The gable roof is topped by a centrally-placed Russian Orthodox cross, and there is a bell mounted on a metal framework outside the vestibule.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The John W. McCormack Post Office and Courthouse, formerly the United States Post Office, Courthouse, and Federal Building, is a historic building at 5 Post Office Square in Boston, Massachusetts. The twenty-two-story, 331 ft skyscraper was built between 1931 and 1933 to house federal courts, offices, and post office facilities. The Art Deco and Moderne structure was designed in a collaboration between the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department and the Boston architectural firm of Cram and Ferguson. It occupies a city block bounded by Congress, Devonshire, Water, and Milk Streets, and has over 600,000 ft&sup2; of floor space.

It was built on the site of the 1885 United States Post Office and Sub-Treasury Building.</p><br>
<p>The building also contains the National Security Agencys Northeast Recruiting Office in Room 406. This office was overseen by the Office of Administration segment within the NSA and officially opened on November 7 1980. Charles Raduazo acted as the chief headhunter in an effort to scout and employ electrical engineers and mathematicians from New Englands elite colleges. The current state of this office is unknown.</p><br>
<p>The building is named for John W. McCormack, a long-serving Boston Congressman who was Speaker of the House from 1962 to 1971. It was designated a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission in 1998 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Stairs Station Hydroelectric Power Plant was built in 1894-1895 in Big Cottonwood Canyon, about 8 mi southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah. The plant comprises the powerhouse, switchyard, penstocks, and a pipeline. A dam next to the site is associated with the Granite Power Plant farther downstream, and is part of neither historic district. The powerhouse is the only remaining building associated with the plant. It is an example of an intact high-head generating plant from the late 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The power plant was originally built with four Pelton wheels, since replaced by a single Francis turbine capable of generating 1.2 megawatts. The station was designed in the Second Renaissance Revival style with two levels, the lower housing the generating equipment, the upper formerly housing switchgear.</p><br>
<p>Until the late 1950s water was impounded behind the Storm Mountain Dam, built in 1921 to replace an earlier dam about 2,500 ft above the station horizontally and 200 ft vertically. The dam is a low earthfill structure, about 10 ft to 20 ft high and 500 ft long, concrete faced on the upstream side. A 1,200 ft steel pipeline, now abandoned, connected the dam to a penstock that made the fall to the power plant. The penstock is about 1,750 ft long, made of.5 in steel, with a non-contributing standpipe at its head</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The station was designed by Robert M. Jones for his Big Cottonwood Power Company at a cost of $325,000. In 1895 the company contracted to provide power to the Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and Electric Company, In 1897 the Big Cottonwood company was absorbed into the Union Light and Power Company in 1899. An operator&#39;s house was demolished on the site at an unknown date.</p><br>
<p>The Stairs Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Granite Hydroelectric Power Station was built in 1896–1897 at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, about 6 mi southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States(in what is now eastern Cottonwood Heights. The plant comprises the powerhouse, transformer house, a wooden conduit, penstocks, and a small dam. Like the Stairs Station upstream, it represents an intact high-head generating plant from the late 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The powerhouse is a rectangular brick building on a concrete foundation, with extensive corbeling. The interior is a single room with two Pelton wheels flanking a generator, which replaced two older turbine-generator units. A work area in the station was powered by a 16 in Pelton wheel driving a belt, an unusual feature. The ceiling is a peaked assembly of steel beams with an arched brick infill. Water is supplied through a steel conduit and penstock system with a 450 ft head from the Stairs Station upstream. The dam, built in 1945, is part of neither historic district.</p><br>
<p>The transformer house is a plainer version of the power house. The operators residence is nearby, built using the same sand-colored brick with extensive corbeling and a hipped roof. Two other residences of wood frame construction stand nearby, added in the 1920s. The present operators residence is outside the historic district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Granite Power Station was built beginning in 1896 by the Utah Power Company, owned by the Salt Lake City Railroad Company to provide power to the company&#39;s streetcar system. The station did not live up to expectations and was frequently out of service. After several changes of ownership, the plant passed into the hands of Utah Power and Light in 1912. PacifiCorp later took ownership in 1989 operating the site under its own name as well as the name Rocky Mountain Power.</p><br>
<p>The Granite Power Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.</p><br>
<p>LeClaire Historic District is a historic district located in Edwardsville, Illinois. The community was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1979.</p><br>
<p>N. O. Nelson, the owner of the Nelson Manufacturing Company, established the town between 1890 and 1895 on donated land. Nelson planned the town to be an intentional community inspired by ideals such as Edward Bellamy&#39;s novel Looking Backward and the Ethical Culture movement. The community included an academy which offered free adult education and reading rooms, which was inspired by a self-culture hall in St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>Nelson also established a profit sharing system in the community. The system was derived from a concept used at the Maison LeClaire in Paris, from which the community took its name.</p><br>
<p>As LeClaire was an open community, its residents were not all company employees, nor were employees required to live in the community. However, the company provided utilities and public facilities to LeClaire residents. Journalist Nellie Bly compared the community favorably to Pullman in Chicago, and Ida Tarbell also wrote about the community.</p><br>
<p>Little Barnwell Island is a historic archeological site located near Port Royal, Beaufort County, South Carolina. The site consists of two shell and earth mounds located on the eastern side of Little Barnwell Island overlooking Whale Branch.

<p>The East Andover Village Center Historic District encompasses the historic village center of East Andover, New Hampshire, United States. The 2.2 acre district includes a cemetery and three buildings: the Andover Congregational Church, the Highland Lake Grange Hall, and the East Andover Schoolhouse. It is located at the corner of New Hampshire Route 11 and Chase Hill Road. The district is unified by the appearance of the three buildings , and their styling, which is predominantly vernacular 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Andover Congregational Church is the oldest of the three buildings, built in 1796 to provide space for civic and religious functions in the town. It is a two-story wood-frame building, with a pair of entrances on the main facade, which provide access to a vestibule area, from which access to the main hall is gained, with stairs leading up to galleries on either side. The building was used by the town for meetings and by several religious organizations for services, but had by 1822 fallen into some disrepair. It was extensively rebuilt in 1840, including turning the building so that its main facade faced south. This work including the addition of the tower and the Greek Revival styling the building now shows. It has received only minor modifications since then.</p><br>
<p>The Old North Church Cemetery was deeded to the town in 1805, although it seems to have been used before then, since at least two burials predate this transfer. Burial plots are laid out in north–south rows in the half-acre cemetery, which was filled up by the late 19th century. The cemetery stretches out along Route 11, behind (north of) the church.</p><br>
<p>The Highland Lake Grange Hall was built in 1850 by the Mountain Club, an East Andover literary club that sought a meeting place for itself, and wanted to promote secondary education in the town. The building was inaugurated that year as the Highland Lake Institute, an academy that lasted just five years. It then saw a succession of academic and civic uses, and was enlarged in 1893 and renamed Union Hall. In 1938 the Union Hall Associates sold the building to the local grange chapter, which had been meeting on the premises since 1894. Little modification has been made to the building since 1893.</p><br>
<p>The East Andover Schoolhouse was built in 1903 to replace the old District 10 schoolhouse, which had been located just south of the grange hall. Located just east of the grange hall, the building served as a public school until 1962; its most significant alteration in this period was the addition of a wood and coal shed to the rear. The building was sold to the church, which has since used it for Sunday School and as a nursery.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>

The houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The Cleaves House is further notable for its association with Mary Baker Eddy, and now serves as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Reuben Foster and Perley Cleaves Houses are located north of downtown Concord, on the east side North State Street at its junction with Court Street. The basic plans of these two houses, which were built as investments in the 1840s, are mirror images of each other. Each is a -story wood-frame building, with a rectangular main block and a projecting side ell. The front facade of each house has a projecting gable supported by three two-story fluted Doric columns, with a porch accessible from the second floor. The main entrance is flanked by full-length sidelight windows and pilasters. The Foster house has had an addition built in the corner between the main block and the ell, which includes a projecting bay window on the front facade. The Cleaves house has a somewhat more decorated facade: the cornice is deeper than that of the Foster house, and it is studded with brackets. The gable end has a full round-arch window, while that of the Foster house has a rectangular window with a round fanlight decoration.</p><br>
<p>These two houses are among about a dozen known in the state that have relatively high-style Greek Revival design. The northern house was first owned by Reuben Foster, and remained in his family until 1938, the family making few significant alterations beyond the addition of the bay windows. It presently houses professional offices. The Cleaves House has had a larger number of owners, including former Governor of New Hampshire Matthew Harvey and Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Edward and Beth Long, two students of Bliss Knapp, bought the house in 1955. In 1985, the Longs gifted the house to Longyear Museum, dedicated to Eddy&#39;s life history, which restored it to the period of her occupancy, 1889–1892.</p><br>
