<p>The Back River Farm, also known as the Samuel Emerson Farm, is a historic farmstead on Bay View Road in Dover, New Hampshire. The land along the Bellamy River  has been farmed since Samuel Emerson acquired 30 acre in the area in 1696, and is the only surviving period farmstead in the area. The farm, including a mid-18th century farmhouse, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Back River Farm consists of about 44 acre of land, roughly bounded by Bay View Road to the north, Bellamy Preserve to the east, and an inlet of the Bellamy River to the south. Most of this land is relatively flat, and in pasture. The farmstead stands on the south side of Bay View Road, screened from the road by trees, but with open views to the south. The house is a two-story timber frame construction, five bays wide, with a central chimney and a rear leanto section, giving the house a saltbox appearance. The house has interior woodworking features that embody both First Period work and early Georgian styling. This woodwork was probably done by the second Samuel Emerson, who described his profession as that of joiner.</p><br>
<p>In 1696 the first Samuel Emerson acquired 30 acre of land, and began farming. The area was in the 18th century mainly composed of this type of salt water farm, of which this is now the last surviving example. Emerson was brother to Hannah Duston, who became well known for her captivity narrative after being held captive by (and escaping from) Native Americans in 1697. The farm was owned by five generations of Emersons, growing to a size of 130 acre. It was sold out of the family in 1876.</p><br>
<p>The Farmington Town Pound is a historic animal pound in Farmington, New Hampshire. It is located on the north side of Pound Road near its intersection with Ten Rod Road. Built in 1823, it is one of the best-preserved 19th-century pounds in southeastern New Hampshire, and is now maintained by the Farmington Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Farmington Town Pound is located near the geographic center of the roughly square town, on the northwest side of Pound Road north of its junction with Ten Rod Road. The pound is a stone structure 40 ft square, consisting of four walls made of dry-laid fieldstone about 7 ft high and 3 ft wide at the base. The walls are topped with long granite capstones. There is an opening about 5.5 ft wide on the south side, facing Pound Road, which once had a granite lintel stone over the top, but this has fallen.</p><br>
<p>From the early 18th century, towns in New Hampshire were required to fund the construction and maintenance of a structure in which to pen stray livestock until it could be claimed by its owner. The early structures were typically of wood, and none of those are known to survive. This pound was built in 1823 by the town, replacing an earlier wooden structure built in 1802, and is one of a few well-preserved pounds in southeastern New Hampshire. It was built by Nicholas Colbath for $59, and was located on land purchased by the town from Hunkin Colbath for $5. It remained in use until late in the 19th century, and was sold into private hands in 1918. It was given back to the town, and is now maintained by the Farmington Historical Society.</p><br>

<p>The Norton–Polk–Mathis House, also known Villa Finale, is a historic house in San Antonio, Texas, United States.</p><br>
<p>Local merchant Russel C. Norton began construction on the house in 1876. The house was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1971.</p><br>
<p>It is a contributing property to the King William Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a National Trust Historic Site, the only one in Texas.</p><br>
<p>The house was remodeled with additions of a second story, rear gallery, and Italian Renaissance Revival Tower. Other owners included rancher Edwin Polk and cattleman Ike T. Pryor. The house was then turned into a boarding house until 1967, when it was purchased by local civic leader Walter Nold Mathis.</p><br>
<p>Mathis spent two years restoring the house and named it Villa Finale as he planned on it being his last home. He then purchased fourteen other homes in the King William neighborhood, restored them and sold them to others whom he hoped would continue to preserve them. The home was donated to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2004 which operates it as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Wyatt House is a historic house at 7 Church Street in Dover, New Hampshire. Built in 1835, it is one of the city&#39;s best-preserved examples of Greek Revival architecture, and was home to a prominent businessman and educator. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Samuel Wyatt House is located in an area just south of Dovers downtown area, known historically as Tuttle Square, the citys commercial center during the first half of the 19th century.

<p>The Charles S. Hall House is a historic house at 1740 Dover Road  in Epsom, New Hampshire. Built c. 1890, it is the only Second Empire building in the town, adorned further with Queen Anne features. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charles S. Hall House is located near the western end of Epsoms elongated village center, on the north side of Dover Road near its junction with Black Hall Road. The house consists of a two-story mansard-roofed main block, which is connected to a large carriage barn by a kitchen ell. The steep portion of the main blocks roof is covered in decoratively cut wood shingling, while the lower-pitched top section is clad in asphalt. There are dormers with projecting lintels on each of the main elevations. The front (south) and east elevations of the house each have projecting polygonal bay windows topped by a cornice with paired brackets, a feature that is repeated in the main roof line. A gazebo with Stick style decoration is attached to a porch that extends across the east elevation.</p><br>
<p>The house was either built or extensively altered for Charles S. Hall in about 1890. Hall, a native of Epsom, had engaged in a number of businesses, and eventually became the town&#39;s largest taxpayer. He was also involved in civic affairs, donating funds for the construction of the public library, serving as town clerk, and serving in the state legislature. By the 1920s, he had moved out of the house (and into a hotel he owned), which was eventually sold to his brother and nephew.</p><br>
<p>The Ellice School is a historic two-room schoolhouse at 185 Pleasant Street in Millis, Massachusetts. The single story wood frame Greek Revival building was constructed c. 1849, when Millis was still part of Medway. It is sheathed in wood shingles, with wood trim, including corner pilasters. Its gable roof is clad in asphalt shingles. The building served as a public school until 1931. It was used during the Great Depression and the Second World War for community activities, but has stood vacant since then. It is the only remaining district school building in Millis.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Oak Grove Farm is a historic First Period farmstead in Millis, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame farmhouse was probably built in three phases, the first of which was in the early 18th century. Around this time, the left five bays of the house were built, as was a central chimney. In the second quarter of the 19th century, three bays were added to the right, giving the building its current asymmetrical eight-bay facade. Finally, in 1884 a series of modifications and additions were made. The central chimney was removed, a leanto section was added to the rear of the house, and the front porch was added. A second porch was also built onto the rear ell around this time.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the farmhouse stands has been farmed by English settlers since at least 1677, when Josiah Rockwood (also sometimes referred to as "Rockett") owned the property. Although maps show a house at the site in 1713, there is no other documentary evidence of the house until 1783, when a deed transferring the farm, with house, was recorded. For much of the 19th century the farm was owned by the Lovell family; it was purchased by Lansing Millis (the namesake of the town) in 1879. Millis, a railroad executive, established a dairy farm on the property, and gave it the name "Oak Grove Farm". His family used the property as a summer residence until 1883, after which he converted the house into a boarding house for the farm workers. By 1893 (after Millis&#39; death) the farm was reported to be the largest dairy farm in New England.</p><br>
<p>In the 20th century the property changed hands a few times, but remained in use as a dairy farm. In 1984, with a sale planned to a developer, the town purchased the property as one of the last open spaces near the town center. The farmland has been converted for use as recreational facilities, and the house has been restored and is managed by the town as a rental property.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend House is a historic late First Period house in Needham, Massachusetts, United States. The -story wood-frame house was built in 1720 by Gregory Sugars, a sea captain, for his son-in-law, Rev. Jonathan Townsend. The building has retained little external appearance as an early 18th century house, showing the adaptive reuse and restyling of older houses. It was given a Federal appearance in the 1780s by its second owner, Rev. Samuel West, and was, under his ownership, used as a muster site for the local militia prior to the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord. The building has been much modified over the years , but many of its older interior rooms have retained features from the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Ephraim United Order Cooperative Building is a historic commercial building in downtown Ephraim, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is located at 96 North Main Street (USA Route 89), on the corner with East 100 North. It was built in 1871-72 to house a Mormon cooperative store in community. The store was established to avoid trading with "gentile" (non-Mormon) merchants, and sold merchandise from the ZCMI co-op in Salt Lake City. The two-story stone building housed a co-op store on the ground floor and a meeting hall on the upper level. In 1888 the Sanpete Stake Academy was established, using the meeting hall for classes; it became Snow College in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The front of the building is clad in white oolitic Sanpete limestone on the front with coarser building stone on the other elevations. A steeply-pitched roof runs from front to back with bracketed eaves and eave returns over the three-bay front elevation. The side elevations are four bays wide, with a one-story extension to the rear. The building features the inscription "Ephraim U.O. Mercantile Institution" and a beehive surrounded by "Holiness to the Lord" in an arched panel on the building&#39;s front gable. A similarly-constructed stone granary stands nearby on the site.</p><br>

<p>The Salem Baptist Church is a historic African-American Baptist church located at 2001 Seiler Road in Foster Township, Madison County, Illinois. Built in 1912, the church was the third built for the Salem congregation, which formed in 1819. African-American stonemason Madison Banks and white contractor Samuel Marshall, both from Alton, built the church; they were assisted by two members of the congregation, John Walker and William Emery. The church served as a civic and social center for the local black community during the early 20th century, as African-Americans faced rampant segregation and discrimination in public spaces. The church hosted events such as picnics and dinners, hay rides, and fashion shows for its congregation. In addition, the congregation organized a Ladies Aid Society for its female members, which sponsored a college scholarship program, and a Progressive Club for its youth. The church&#39;s membership declined after the 1960s, a consequence of both integration and rural flight.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph F. and Anna B. Schrot Farm is a 17 acre subsistence farm located at 880 Carbon Mine Road in Lawrence Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. The farm was established in 1889 by Joseph F. and Anna B. Schrot, a stonemason and his wife who immigrated to Clearfield County from Austria in 1883. Stone quarries at nearby Curwensville had created a local demand for masons, and Joseph Schrot was one of many Europeans who came to Clearfield County to take construction work. The Schrots&#39; farm provided food for the couple and their family of fourteen children; the couple sold their excess food for additional income.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Farm</h2><br>
<p>Five contributing buildings still stand on the farm. The oldest remaining building, the 1889 woodshed, is a 15 by wood and stone structure. The farmhouse is a wood frame building constructed from 1891 to 1915 and features a gabled front and a side wing. The farm also includes a barn built in 1900, a chicken coop built in 1908, and a pigpen built in 1909. The farm&#39;s landscape also contributes to the historic value of the site and includes an orchard, vegetable gardens, a blueberry patch, a wood lot, and hay fields.</p><br>

Built in 1906, it is the last surviving building of a large cleaning and dyeing business that was once one of Cumberlands major employers.Throughout the 1920s, Footer&#39;s Dye Works continued as one of the dominant cleaning and</p><br>
<p>dyeing establishments in the region.</p><br>
<p>At its peak the Footers Dye Works boasted of a weekly payroll exceeding several thousand dollars. With nearly 500 employees, the company had branch offices located in twenty cities in nearby states for the receiving and forwarding of goods. One source of business originated from Washington; lace curtains from the White House were shipped to Footers for cleaning. Major branch offices were located in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, according to the company&#39;s advertising flier.</p><br>
<p>The 1930s, however, brought hard times to Footers Dye Works. It was in the 1930s that the new "dry" cleaning process was beginning to take hold, replacing the steam cleaning process used in Footers factory. With the Great Depression in full swing throughout the United States, pressure</p><br>
<p>from dry cleaning competition, and then a devastating Potomac River flood in March 1936, Footers Dye Works filed for bankruptcy on June 12, 1936. On December 30, the plant was sold by a court trustee to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, which held the mortgage, for $200,000.16 With the sale of the Footers Dye Works property, the cleaning and dyeing operation</p><br>
<p>closed.</p><br>
<p>By 1939, Harry Footer opened a cleaning business in the old Footers building on N. Liberty St. called Harry Footer & Co. His was among twenty "Clothes Pressers and Cleaners" listed in Cumberland in 1939. In June 1939, part of the Footers S. Mechanic St. complex was sold to Liberty Cleaners & Dyers, Inc. This company was likely a secondary operation of Harry Footer&#39;s Liberty St. cleaners.</p><br>
<p>Between 1939 and 1949, the former Footer&#39;s Dye Works complex was subdivided and sold. The 1939 deed to Liberty Cleaners noted that another part of the complex was deeded earlier to "Red Head Oil Co. The 1949 map shows not only the dry cleaners and oil company sections, but a "Trade School" in the easternmost buildings and a "Montgomery Ward warehouse" in the first floor of the four-story brick building along Howard St. and its one-story saw tooth south section (the building still standing in 2005). By 1956, when the last Sanborn Insurance Co. map was drawn of the complex, most of the eastern section was demolished and replaced with a parking lot. The cleaners, oil company, and Montgomery Ward still occupied their buildings. But the large four-story brick building that housed the Wards warehouse also had the state employment offices in the second floor and the Army Reserve in the third floor</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Arch is a stone arch bridge along the former route of the National Road in Marshall, Illinois. The limestone bridge is 13.5 ft high and 15 ft across. The USA Army Corps of Engineers built the bridge between 1828 and 1837, the period in which the Corps rebuilt much of the National Road. The National Road, the most-traveled USA road in the early 1800s and the first built by the USA government, connected Illinois to the Eastern United States and helped bring settlers and goods to the state during its early years. The bridge has served road traffic continuously since its construction and was part of USA Route 40 from the route&#39;s creation to 1953.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1975.</p><br>

<p>The Matthew Harvey House is a historic house on Harvey Street in North Sutton, New Hampshire. Also known as the Harvey Homestead, the house is the centerpiece of Muster Field Farm, a working farm museum. Built in 1784, it is a prominent local example of Federal period architecture, and the homestead of a politically powerful family. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural Description</h2><br>
<p>The Matthew Harvey House is located in northern Sutton, in a rural setting on the west side of Harvey Road. It is part of a larger farm property that includes several agricultural buildings, which are located on both sides of the road. The house is set near the top of a ridge, from which views extend over the farm fields. It is a -story wood-frame structure with a side-gable roof, clapboarded exterior, and central chimney. It is oriented with its main facade facing roughly south, and a secondary side elevation toward the road. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance. The entry is flanked by unusual sidelight windows which include a sliding sash, with pilasters outside rising to an entablature. Windows are set in rectangular openings with delicate Federal moulding, the second-story windows smaller than those on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>This elegant Federal-style wood-frame house was built in 1784, at a time when Harvey Street was a major north–south thoroughfare. Matthew Harvey, who had settled the land in 1772, built this house, from which he operated a tavern that may have been the first in Sutton. At his death in 1799 he was the largest landowner in town. The heavy frame of the house suggests it may have been built by someone more experienced in building larger wood-frame buildings such as meeting houses; Harvey&#39;s cousin John is known to have engaged in this business, and may have been the builder of this house.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After Matthew Harvey died in 1799, his firstborn son Jonathan Harvey became the primary resident of the house. Both Jonathan Harvey and his younger brother Matthew Harvey served in the New Hampshire legislature and the United States Congress. In 1820, Jonathan stood as President of the New Hampshire Senate while his brother Matthew was Speaker of the House. The site where the Matthew Harvey House stands is currently called Muster Field Farm because of the military musters that took place on the property between 1787 and 1851. Musters were politically and socially important events: hundreds of men would gather with their regiment for military inspection, often bringing their wives and children. Vendors and musicians would arrive as well, generating a country fair atmosphere. During these occasions, the ballroom of the Matthew Harvey House would be used for entertaining the officers of the regiment. The house remained in the Harvey family for eight generations, until the Bristol family of Massachusetts purchased the property in 1941. Robert S. Bristol created the Muster Field Farm Museum, preserving the Matthew Harvey Home for future generations, with the caveat that the property always remain a working farm.</p><br>
<p>The Henniker Town Hall is the town hall of Henniker, New Hampshire. The wood-frame building, built in 1786–87, is one of a small number of surviving 18th century meetinghouses in New Hampshire. At that time, its main entrance was on the long south wall, facing the raised pulpit on the north wall, and the floor was taken up by pews. The interior was decorated with high quality woodwork, which still survives. The roughly rectangular building had -story enclosed porch extensions on both sides.</p><br>
<p>By the 1880s the building had been dedicated exclusively for municipal use, and in 1887 it underwent major alterations. Its upper galleries were built over to provide a full second floor, and the western porch was converted for use by the board of selectmen above, and a kitchen facility below. The eastern porch was converted into a vestibule area with ticket booth and cloakroom, and became the new main entrance. Some alterations were also made to the exterior, giving it is present appearance.</p><br>
<p>The building served as the town hall until 1946, after which it was used by New England College as a classroom facility. Inadequacies in its heating system precluded it from more than incidental uses, however. In the 1970s the town voted to restore the building for use as its town hall. The first floor meeting space was converted to office areas for municipal and court functions, but with movable partitions so as not to harm the historic fabric of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Sullivans Corner Historic District is a historic district encompassing a historical rural crossroads in northeastern Norfolk, Massachusetts. The 18 acre district includes Norfolks oldest cemetery, established c. 1736, and five 18th- to early 20th-century buildings currently used as residences. The core of the old cemetery is on the northeast corner of Seekonk and Main Streets. The cemetery was enlarged north and east from that point in the 19th century. Four of the five houses in the district face the cemetery across Seekonk Street; the fifth, 1 Needham Street, lies across Main Street at the corner, and is one of Norfolks best-preserved Greek Revival buildings. The building on the corners northwest corner, Sullivans Store, was built c. 1913, and is still somewhat recognizable as a corner store of the period, despite its conversion to residential use. It is Norfolks only commercial building from that period.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Stetson Hall is the former town hall of Randolph, Massachusetts, located at 6 South Main Street. The -story Greek Revival building, which was constructed in 1842, is the most monumental Greek Revival structure in the town, and occupies an elevated site in a prominent position at its center. Its temple front consists of six large fluted Ionic columns, two stories in height, supporting a triangular pedimental gable. Construction of the building was funded by Amasa Stetson, and has served as a center of civic activity in the town since it was built. Its early uses included an academy endowed by Stetson, and as home to the offices of Randolph National Bank. Its meeting space saw a variety of uses, including town meetings and religious services. The building also house town offices for most of its history; the town moved most of its offices out of the building in 1995 to allow for its restoration, which was not completed until 2009.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Charles R. Wilber School  is a historic school building at 75-85 South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts. Located on a block facing Sharon Town Hall, the large two story brick Colonial and Classical Revival building was built in 1921-22 and enlarged in 1928–29. The older portion of the building, now the south building, was constructed to serve as an elementary school, and was named the Charles R. Wilber School. The 1928 enlargement, including the north wing and the shaft of the T-shaped structure, were done to convert the building to a high school. The building served as Sharon&#39;s high school until 1957, after which it became an intermediate school. In 2009 a new wing was added to the building, and it was converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Sharon DPW toured the abandoned building in 2002, which was uploaded to YouTube in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Saint Mary of the Assumption is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church in Park City, Utah, United States, in the Diocese of Salt Lake City. Its historic former parish church, built in 1884 after a fire destroyed an earlier church during July 4 celebrations, is the oldest extant Catholic church in Utah and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The church and school are located next to each other with a connection to the rear. Both buildings are rectangular buff limestone structures, the school two stories in height, the church taller, but one story in height. The church features a large Gothic arch at the center entrance, flanked by large sash windows, with two smaller sashes close together in the loft over the main arch. A small wooden belfry tops the church. The school, to the left of the church, has a similar but smaller facade, the Gothic arch replaced by a plain rectangular doorway, with a flue in place of the church&#39;s belfry. Since both buildings are on a hillside above the street, the lot is fronted by a tall stone retaining wall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first church was built in 1881 to serve Park City&#39;s largely non-Mormon mining community, an anomaly in the Mormon-dominated state. The mining boom in the area around Park City brought miners, many of them Catholic, from all parts of the country. The school was constructed in the early 1900s and staffed by the Sisters of the Holy Cross until its closure during the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>The complex was placed on the NRHP as St. Mary of the Assumption Church and School on January 25, 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Arch Bridge was a stone arch bridge located along the former route of the National Road in Clark Center, Illinois. The limestone bridge was 8.9 ft high and 81.5 ft long with a 17.8 ft span. The USA Army Corps of Engineers built the bridge between 1828 and 1837, the period in which the Corps improved much of the National Road. The National Road was the first major highway built by the USA government and brought settlers and goods from the Eastern United States to Illinois. The bridge became part the Illinois state highway system in 1918, and later became part of USA Route 40; it served road traffic until 1933, when US 40 was realigned through the area.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Kimball Stage Stop was a station on the Overland Trail near Park City, Utah. Located in the Parleys Park valley near USA Route 40 at the head of Parleys Canyon, the station was built by William H. Kimball in 1862. Kimball also built a bridge across nearby Kimball Creek. The stations hotel was notable for its dinners, and was visited by Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Horace Greeley, served at first by Kimballs wife Melissa Burton Coray Kimball, and later by another of Kimball&#39;s wives, Martha Vance Kimball. The station also served the Holladay Stage and the Wells Fargo Express Company.</p><br>
<p>The chief building in the complex is the hotel. It is a T-shaped two-story sandstone building, housing dining rooms, guest rooms, a store, and for a time, a post office. Two log barns are part of the complex.</p><br>
<p>The Kimball Stage Stop was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1971.</p><br>
<p>The Beiger Mansion, pronounced By-gur, though known more colloquially as Bee-gur, was the palatial home of Martin Valentine and Susie Higgins Beiger at 317 Lincoln Way E. in Mishawaka, Indiana. In 1973 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1903 the home was burned to the ground in 1975 and has since been restored, though not to its former grandeur. The restoration process is still ongoing. It is now operated as a bed and breakfast and event facility.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Martin V. Beiger, born February 3, 1847, was Mishawakas first millionaire. Martin made his fortune with the Mishawaka Woolen and Rubber Manufacturing Company, which would later become Ball Band then Uniroyal. He, along with his father Jacob Beiger, bought the small textiles mill in 1867. The mill originally had just 3 workers and mostly made flannels. He married Susie Higgins, the daughter of a local jeweler, in December 1875. In 1886 Martin Beiger, along with Adolphus Eberhart, patented the first all knit wool boot that did not lose shape or size. Demand for this product quickly grew the company. The boots were topped with a black band and, later, a red ball which became the companies trade mark. Ball Band went on to employ 5000 workers by 1923 and as many as 10000 in the 1940s. By 1903 the company had around 2000 employees and Martin had become very wealthy. Soon he and Susie were considering a more lavish home in the style of some of New Port Rhode Islands mansions, particularly that of The Breakers.</p><br>
<h2>Mansion</h2><br>
<p>Planning for a new home was begun in 1900, and construction on the -story neoclassical mansion began in 1903. Architectural plans were designed by Durham and Snyder, a company in South Bend, Indiana, and landscaping plans were designed by prominent landscape architect Jens Jensen.</p><br>
<p>In the first year of construction, on September 26, 1903, Martin Beiger died at the age of 56 after an infection from an operation for appendicitus. Construction on the mansion was halted for a time, however Susie later decided to continue with construction and the mansion was completed in 1908 at a total cost of 100,000 dollars.</p><br>
<p>The home is 21,790 square feet and originally had some 40 rooms. It has 11 unique fireplaces. Among the original rooms there were 11 bedrooms, 2 dining rooms, 2 kitchens, 2 sitting rooms, a billiards room, a library, a breakfast room, a solarium, a reception room, a ball room, a one-lane bowling alley, a museum, and a music room. The music room featured a three-manual Aeolian organ costing $25,000 at the time (about $700,000 in 2012). The 5th floor is a 2,000-square-foot area that originally housed the gardeners quarters. The mansion originally sat on nearly an entire block, and featured landscaped gardens and a full tennis court, built for her nephew.</p><br>
<p>The home was very modern for its time. It had electric lighting throughout, an internal bell system for calling the staff, a central vacuum system, and radiator and forced air heating. Originally the home was designed with an elevator in it; however, during construction it was decided to instead use the elevator shaft to increase the size of the safes. With time this would prove to be an important choice. The main safe on the second floor encompasses several hundred square feet of storage. All the safes were provided by the Mosler Safe Company of Cincinnati Ohio. The mansion featured several prized woods including, African mahogany, birds eye maple, and teak. Several of the rooms had large murals hand painted on silk. The first floor dining room had an Italianate scene, the library had a depiction of the birth of Christ from Ben Hur, and the breakfast room had a sunrise motif.</p><br>
<p>Susie, along with a two nieces and nephew of hers, moved into the mansion in 1908. She lived well, with 6 servants, and entertained lavishly. Susie is reported to have had the first car in Mishawaka. She lived in the home until her death in 1927, when Ms. Beiger fell while walking down the main staircase in the home, breaking her hip. Susie died of complications due to this fall at the age of 68.</p><br>
<h3>After the death of Ms. Beiger</h3><br>
<p>Since she did not have any children Ms. Beiger left the mansion in trust as a home for the care of elderly women. Ms. Beiger willed 210 thousand dollars of her 1.55 million dollar estate to care for and maintain the home and its furnishings. The home for the care of the elderly was opened February 1, 1930.</p><br>
<p>The home remained a care facility until its operation was no longer financially viable ceasing operation in 1967. During this time the surrounding grounds, which were originally an entire block, were sold off. To the south of the mansion, and on the original site of the tennis courts, lies the Dodge House for the Elderly which was built in 1933. By the late 1960s the future of the home was uncertain, and in 1972 it was slated for demolition to make way for used car lot. However, the local community along with the Mishawaka Historical Society banded together in order to save and restore the mansion. On September 7, 1973, the home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In the early morning on 20 January 1975, the mansion was burned to the ground in an unsolved arson. The terracotta roof collapsed through into the basement and nearly the entire home was destroyed. All that remained standing were the limestone walls, chimneys, and safes. The bulk of the valuable furniture and artifacts within were lost as well. Disastrously there was only a $75,000 insurance policy on the mansion, leaving its future again unclear. However, again the community moved to save the mansion. The recovery was slow. It took 4 years before a roof was again over the structure. By the mid- to late 1980s, the Historical Society had lost support and finances for preserving and restoring the mansion.</p><br>
<p>On August 1, 1989, Ron Montandon purchased the mansion from the Historical Society. He has since worked to restore the mansion to its original grandeur. The current floor plan matches the original, and most of the landscaping is based on the original plans. Much of the current interior has been reproduced from pictures and accounts of the original home. In order to finance the restoration process, the mansion is currently operated as a 6-bedroom bed and breakfast and as an event facility known as the Beiger Mansion Inn. In February 2014 The Beiger Mansion Inn won the Mishawaka Business Association award for business of the year for 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Archer House Hotel is a historic hotel located at 717 Archer Avenue in Marshall, Illinois. William B. Archer, the founder of Marshall, opened the hotel in 1841. The brick hotel was one of the most lavish buildings in the city upon its opening. As a stopping point for stagecoach lines, the hotel was also the city&#39;s social center and the first place to receive out-of-town news. Archer was a member of the Illinois Legislature for sixteen years and a friend and colleague of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln regularly visited Marshall, and he stayed in the hotel during his visits. Another USA president, Grover Cleveland, has also stayed at the hotel.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1976.</p><br>
<p>From 1933 to 1943, during the years when it was known as the National-Dixie Hotel, three of the rooms served as the Central Office of Pi Beta Phi fraternity for Women. Marshall resident Beatrice Stephenson Purdunn, a Pi Beta Phi alumna from the University of Illinois chapter. served as the Director of the Central Office.</p><br>
<p>The Front Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in Weymouth, Massachusetts. From the 18th to the 20th century, the area encompassed by this district was one of the more fashionable and desirable neighborhoods adjacent to the commercial Weymouth Landing area. It also contains remnants of a once-flourishing small scale shoe manufacturing industry. The 77 acre district includes nearly 150 resources, primarily residential houses, as well as a school, two cemeteries, and a small cluster of commercial buildings. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The district is focused on the northern stretch of Front Street, extending roughly from Washington Street in the north to Congress Street in the south. It also includes rows of properties along Summer Street from its junction with Front Street to Kingman Street, as well as Franklin and Broad Streets; individual properties lie on other streets immediately adjacent to the included sections of Front and Summer Streets.</p><br>
<p>The geographically largest portions of the district are the Weymouth Village Cemetery (established 1843), at its southeastern corner, Weston Park (established in the 1920s) in its northeast, and the Hunt Street School property (a Colonial Revival public school built 1915-17 that now houses a private Christian academy). The oldest building in the district is a Cape Style house built c. 1720 at 160 Front Street; there are other 18th century Cape and Georgian style homes on Front and Summer Streets. One example of a 19th-century shoemaker&#39;s shop that survives is the building at 99 Front Street, now converted to a residence. Smaller shops, which have been converted to garages or other outbuildings, also survive at 131 and 204 Front Street.</p><br>
<p>The Pond Street School, also known as the Alice E. Fulton School, is a historic former school building at 235 Pond Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The Colonial Revival brick building was constructed in 1928 to a design by architect Howard B. S. Prescott. Originally built in an H shape, the building was extended in 1953 and 1958 to the northeast, and in 1967 with the addition of a gymnasium section to the west. The latter portion was demolished and replaced by a new wing in 2008 during the conversion of the building to a senior living facility. The building served as an elementary school until 1991; it was renamed Alice E. Fulton School, after its first principal, in 1964.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Weymouth Meeting House Historic District encompasses one of the oldest sections of Weymouth, Massachusetts. This area, centered on a cluster of properties near Church, East, Green, North, and Norton Streets, includes the citys oldest cemetery , the site of its first meeting house, the 1833 church of its first congregation, the birthplace of presidential wife and mother Abigail Adams, and the John Adams School, Weymouths oldest surviving schoolhouse. The area was the center of Weymouth until 1723, and then North Weymouth until 1833.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Hersey Farms Historic District of Andover, New Hampshire, includes two farmsteads belonging to members of the Hersey family, located on the Franklin Highway  in eastern Andover. The older of the two farms, the Guy Hersey Farm, was established c. 1850 by Hiram Fellows, and has been in the Hersey family since 1904. The adjacent James Hersey Farm was established in 1833 by Alfred Weare, and was acquired by Guy Hersey&#39;s son James in 1945. The two farms encompass 325 acre, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Guy Hersey Farm</h2><br>
<p>The Guy Hersey Farm, 1088 Franklin Highway, includes 57 acre of land, a c. 1830 farmhouse, and a number of barns and other outbuildings. Although the house predates the establishment of the farm by Hiram Fellows, physical and documentary evidence suggest it was moved to this site from another location. It began as a -story wood-frame house with a side-gable roof. In the 1850s it was enlarged by raising the roof and adding a south wing. A barn dating to c. 1865-80 is connected to the house by a shed extension, and a second barn (c. 1917) is attached to the first. A third barn, dating to c. 1920 and moved to the site by Guy Hersey from another farm, forms an enclosed barnyard with the other two. The most interesting outbuilding is a c. 1890 structure that was initially used as a piggery, but was converted by Hersey into a smithy. Hersey&#39;s property also includes the foundational remnants of an old schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>The farm that was established by Hiram Fellows was probably operated by his father Nathan on a subsistence basis. After several changes of ownership it was acquired by Hersey, who first had a dairy operation. When this became less economically viable, he used the farm to raise cattle, an operation that continues today.</p><br>
<h2>James Hersey Farm</h2><br>
<p>The James Hersey Farm, 1057 Franklin Highway, consists of 270 acre of land on both sides of the highway, a c. 1874-75 farmhouse, and a number of outbuildings. The house was built by Alfred Weare after his earlier house was destroyed by fire resulting from a lightning strike. An attached barn from the same period, and a modern garage complete the main complex on the north side of the highway. Opposite this complex on the south side of the highway is a second barn and milk house, and there is a small logging camp structure in a wooded area of the property further to the south.</p><br>
<p>James Hersey acquired the property in 1945, and ran it as a dairy farm until 1980. The property was taken over by his son, who raises cattle on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Howe-Quimby House is a historic house on Sugar Hill Road in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. Built about 1780, it is a well-preserved example of a rural 18th-century farmhouse with later stylistic modifications. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Howe-Quimby House is located in a rural setting in southwestern Hopkinton, on the west side of Sugar Hill Road, north of its junction with Holmes Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is oriented facing south and is five bays wide. The main entrance, set at its center, is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and is topped by a transom window and corniced entablature. The interior follows a center chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule, chambers to either side of the chimney, and a large rear kitchen with smaller chambers at the corners. Many of the rooms have woodwork that is either original to the construction, or were the result of an early 19th century Greek Revival update. A -story frame ell extends to one side.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the house was built between 1766 and 1784 by David Howe, and sold to Jonathan Quimby in 1784. The basic styling of the exterior is Georgian, although the main and side entries received Greek Revival treatment, with door hoods and sidelight windows. The interior of the house is divided in its styling: after Jonathan Quimby&#39;s death, the inside was divided between his wife and eldest son. The wife maintained her side of the house with Georgian/Federal styling, while his son updated his side with Greek Revival features.</p><br>
