<p>The Barnstable Fair Hall or Barnstable Agricultural Hall was an exhibition hall located in Barnstable, Massachusetts that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 7, 1979. It was leveled by fire in the early morning of April 2, 1980. In the early 1990s, the structure was re-built as a condominium complex. In 1856 and 1857, land around the present building was given and sold to the Agricultural Society for use as a fairground. Total acreage of the property eventually exceeded twenty acres and extended as far back as the Maraspin Creek, a tidal stream. In 1857- 1858 a building "for exhibition purposes and a hall for public meetings" was built on the site of the present building. In February 1862, this first fair hall was destroyed by a gale, resulting in the formation of a building committee in April 1862 and the construction of the new structure between June 17 and October 14, 1862. Money for building costs came from private subscription, to which William Sturgis, a Boston merchant and native of Barnstable, was the major donor. Praised as being "superior in taste to the old" hall, the new Fair Hall was dedicated at the Barnstable County Fair of 1862  and served as the exhibition hall for all subsequent annual fairs until 1931 when the fair ceased to be held regularly. The fair is now held on an annual basis in Falmouth. During the period in which this property served as a fairground, there were additional shed and storage buildings to the north and east of the Fair Hall, as well as a track for trotting races, baseball diamond and grandstand, all of which have been removed. In addition to the usual exhibits of livestock and agricultural products, turn-of-the century fairs had vaudeville performances, balloonists, and other entertainments.</p><br>

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ivory Perry Homestead stands in a rural setting of eastern Dublin, at the northeast corner of Valley and Dooe roads. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled slate roof and clapboarded exterior. It has two interior brick chimneys, and a symmetrical five-bay facade. The main entry is flanked by pilasters and topped by a heavy cornice; it is not original to the house, but was recovered from another early 19th-century house that was demolished. The interior&#39;s original 18th-century features include a large kitchen fireplace. A single-story ell, of late 18th or early 19th-century construction, extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this dates to c. 1767, when Ivory Perry, one of Dublins first proprietors, built a -story Cape-style farmhouse. In c. 1820 his son enlarged the building, adding the second story and adding modest Federal styling. The buildings exterior was replaced in the early 1980s in a historically sensitive manner. Ivory Perry is also credited with building a nearby schoolhouse and conducting school in this house for several years. In the early 20th century, this house was bought by Jeffrey Richardson Brackett, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, as a summer residence. A tenant during the 1960s was sculptor Blanche Dombek.</p><br>
<p>The John Perry Homestead is a historic house at 135 Dooe Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The -story Cape style farmhouse was built c. 1795 by John Perry, son of Ivory Perry who lived nearby. The house has been only minimally altered since its construction, with the replacement of windows and the addition of gable dormers being the most significant. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>

<p>The house was built about 1795 by John Perry, the oldest son of Ivory Perry, one of Dublins first proprietors. Unlike his fathers homestead, which has undergone some significant alterations, this house has been relatively little altered, with changes in the type of fenestration and the addition of gable dormers being the most significant. Members of the Perry family lived here for over a century; a 20th-century occupant was Jane Dooe, from whose family the name of the road is taken.</p><br>
<p>Richmond Town Hall is the town hall of Richmond, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1780, and originally used for both civic and religious purposes, it is one of the oldest meeting houses in the state. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Richmond Town Hall is located north of the village center of Richmond, on the east side of New Hampshire Route 32, about 0.6 mi north of its junction with New Hampshire Route 119. It is a plain white clapboarded structure measuring 30 ft wide and 40 ft long. It is a tall single story in height, with much of its interior occupied by a large auditorium with galleries. Its frame consists of large square-hewn timbers tapering from two feet square at the top to one foot at the base. These massive timbers support the king-post trusses which support the roof.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1780 to house Richmond&#39;s First Baptist Church, a congregation established in 1768 and one of the first Baptist congregations in the state. It was first used for town functions in 1782. The church became notable in the early history of Christian universalism, because Hosea Ballou, son of its first settled minister, became one of the leading proponents of that doctrine.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church congregation was merged with another in 1830, ending its association with the building. Its religious trappings (pews and pulpit) were removed in 1884, at which time the rear gallery space was adapted to house town offices, and a stage was added to the auditorium in place of the pulpit.</p><br>
<p>The Goffs Schoolhouse is a historic school building located at 37198 Lanfair Road in Goffs, California. Opened in 1914, the one-room schoolhouse was the first in Goffs used solely as a school; prior to its construction, the school district had used a rented building. Architect Anthony Beimer designed the Mission Revival building. The district served students in a 1,000 square miles region surrounding Goffs; its students were the children of the areas miners and railroad workers. Many of the students came from Mexican immigrant families, and bilingual students often served as teachers assistants to translate for the teacher. Goffs residents also used the school building as a community center, and it housed a branch of the San Bernardino County Library. The school closed in 1937, when the Goffs School District merged with the Needles district. During World War II, the school building served as a canteen for the Desert Training Center, the largest Army training facility in the United States. The Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association now uses the building as a museum and cultural center.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 11, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Atka B-24D Liberator is a derelict bomber on Atka Island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. The Consolidated B-24D Liberator was deliberately crash-landed on the island on 9 December 1942, and is one of only eight surviving D-model Liberators . The aircraft, serial no. 40-2367, was built in 1941, and was serving on weather reconnaissance duty when it was prevented from landing at any nearby airfields due to poor weather conditions. The only injury resulting from the crash was a fractured collarbone sustained by Brigadier General William E. Lynd.</p><br>
<p>The wreck site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and was designated as part of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument in 2008, redesignated Aleutian Islands World War II National Monument in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp is a historic Native American site in the Intervale section of Conway, New Hampshire. The site is a camp established by Abenakis who were lured to the area by the prospect of making baskets and selling them to visitors to the resort areas of the White Mountains in the late 19th century, and operated into the late 20th century. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, It is located on Intervale Cross Road, about one mile east of New Hampshire Route 16, and is now a local public park.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Abenaki Indian Shop and Camp is located on the north side of Intervale Cross Road, separated from the road by the Conway Scenic Railroad. It is a parcel of land 3.8 acre in size, most of which is forested in mixed hardwoods. At the southern end is a single-story wood-frame building with a gabled roof, and a descriptive plaque set in a stone. A short way north of this are a grouping of small shingled gable-roofed cabins, set around a small clearing in the woods.</p><br>
<p>Chief Joseph Laurent, an Abenaki leader from Odanak (St. Francis, Quebec), came to the area in 1884, and established a seasonal camp on the site, which was then owned by a local hotel. Laurent and other Abenaki produced baskets and other handicrafts as a tourist attraction for the hotel guests, and sold them the wares they produced. The Abenaki were descended from the areas original Native American population, who were driven from the area during the colonial period. The shop was originally a service shed built by the Maine Central Railroad; it was purchased by Laurent around 1900. Laurent is also credited with construction of the cottages in which the Abenaki lived. The business was continued by Laurents son Stephen into the late 20th century. Since 1985, the property has been owned by the town, which now operates it as a small park with interpretive signage describing its history.</p><br>
<p>Beede Farm is a historic farm and summer estate at 178 Mill Bridge Road in Sandwich, New Hampshire. The property includes a c. 1830s farmhouse that was erected by John Beede, whose uncle, Daniel Beede, was responsible for platting out much of Sandwich. The 303 acre includes a family cemetery. It was transformed into a summer estate in 1938. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Beede Farm is located in a rural setting in southwestern Sandwich, occupying 303 acre of land on both sides of Mill Bridge Road south of New Hampshire Route 113. About 11 acre are open fields, with most of the balance of the property in woodlands. The farmstead is located on the west side of Mill Bridge Road, a short way south of its crossing of Burrows Brook, on 3 acre that have been subdivided from the rest of the land. The only buildings of the complex are the house and a barn; other features of the farm include the Beede family cemetery, and a cellar hole where an older house probably stood.</p><br>
<p>The land was acquired sometime between 1771 and 1782 by Thomas Beede, the brother of Sandwichs first surveyor. Beedes son John took over the property in 1782, and was probably responsible for construction of the house circa 1830, as a replacement for an older house that probably stood atop the extant cellar hole. The Beede family retained ownership of the farm until 1938, operating what was a fairly typical farm for the Lakes Region. The farm reached a maximum land size of over 400 acre, extending all the way to Squam Lake. In the early 20th century, a portion of the farm was loaned to Camp Hale, a summer camp for boys, which the farm supplied with dairy products and other farm goods.</p><br>
<p>The Parsons family, who purchased the land in 1938, renovated the house in a then-fashionable "restoration" of its interior to what was then thought to be a period appearance. The land surrounding it is now under a perpetual conservation easement.</p><br>
<p>Brewster Memorial Hall is the town hall of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. It is located at the junction of South Main Street and Union Street in the town center. Its construction in 1880-90 was the result of a bequest from Wolfeboro native John W. Brewster, with terms stipulating that the building should resemble Sargent Hall in Merrimac, Massachusetts. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Brewster Memorial Hall is prominently located in the center of Wolfeboro village, at the northeast corner of South Main and Union Streets. It is a roughly L-shaped brick building, with a two-story main block and a single-story ell projecting north. A two-story turreted section projects east of the main block, and the buildings most prominent feature, a 101 ft tower, projects from the southwest corner. The buildings Romanesque styling includes round-arch windows on the second level of the Main Street facade and on tower windows, and open colonnades in the upper level of the tower below its clock faces. The clocks and colonnade are set in recessed round-arch panels, and the tower is topped by a pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>Boston architect James T. Kelley designed Brewster Hall to satisfy the terms of a bequest by John W. Brewster, a Wolfeboro native and philanthropist. Brewster, who also left major bequests for area private academies, stipulated that the building resemble a similar one in Merrimac, Massachusetts, and that it provided retail spaces, facilities for town offices, and a public library. Kelley met these terms, styling it in the Romanesque Revival rather than the more Gothic styling of Sargent Hall. It was completed at a cost reported to be about $50,000.</p><br>
<p>The retail spaces and library are now gone, leaving just Town offices and a large meeting room on the second floor. Major rebuilding and repair was carried out in 2019 and 2020 bringing the old building back into shape and meeting building code. The clock in the tower still requires winding by hand and is usually done by a town employee.</p><br>
<p>All town meetings and voting takes place in the meeting room on the second floor.</p><br>

The farm remained in the hands of his descendants until the 1850s, when it was sold to Charles Perry whose father Ivory owned a nearby farm. Perry sold the farm to Charles Pickford in 1902. The farmhouse has been relatively little altered, the most notable change being the replacement of its original large chimney with a smaller one.</p><br>
<p>The Pumpelly Studio is the principal surviving house on the former summer estate of geologist Raphael Pumpelly. Located off Snow Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire, it is a distinctive local example of Mediterranean Romanesque, and a prominent surviving building from Dublins heyday as a summer resort and artists colony. The building, now a residence and studio, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Pumpelly Studio is located in a rural setting southwest of Dublin village, on the west side of Snow Hill Road. It is set on Snow Hill, a low ridge with views of Dublin Pond and the Pumpelly Ridge of Mount Monadnock to the west. It is a single-story structure, built out of steel and concrete, with a stucco finish and tiled hip roof. Stylistic elements include round-arch window and door openings, with a variety of other Classical and Romanesque stylistic details embedded in the walls.</p><br>
<p>The studio was designed by Walter Atherton and Margarita "Daisy" Pumpelly Smyth and built in 1912. It was built adjacent to the summer house of geologist Raphael Pumpelly, a large Shingle style structure that was built in 1883 and burned in 1922. The studio was built of steel and concrete, in part because it was intended to safely house Pumpellys papers; these were lost when the main house burned. Notable visitors to the Pumpelly estate included dancer Martha Graham, who summered there in 1924, teaching dance classes in the studio. After Pumpellys house burned, it was replaced by a house stylistically similar to the studio, but it burned down in 1979. A stylistically compatible cinder-block addition was made to the studio in 1961, designed by Pumpelly&#39;s grandson Thomas Handasyd Cabot Jr.</p><br>
<p>The Poinsett Hotel, or Westin Poinsett Hotel, is a twelve-story, landmark hotel in downtown Greenville, South Carolina, one of the first skyscrapers in Greenville. Named for Joel R. Poinsett, Secretary of War under President Millard Fillmore, the Poinsett replaced an earlier resort hotel, the Mansion House, built in 1824. In 1982, the Poinsett was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel is a member of, an organization sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation intended to promote heritage tourism.</p><br>
<p>Built at the end of an era during which small Southern cities demanded quality hotels to attract business travelers and symbolize their new urban status, the Poinsett Hotel was, in part, conceived to accommodate visitors to a biennial Southern Textile Exhibit held in Greenville. A century-old hotel, the Mansion House, was razed and a larger building was designed for its Main Street location by noted New York architect William Lee Stoddart. To help raise money for the project, local businessmen, led by textile magnate John T. Woodside (1864-1946), sold $100 shares of stock to 1,700 local residents; and the hotel was named for Joel R. Poinsett, a South Carolinian who had served as Secretary of War and as the first USA Minister to Mexico. Groundbreaking occurred in May 1924; and the $1.5 million Poinsett Hotel opened in June 1925.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was not immediately successful—in fact, it lost $30,000 in its first year of operation and never turned a profit in its first five years—but it prospered during the latter years of the Depression under the management of J. Mason Alexander (1895-1980), who emphasized customer service. Just how Alexander brought the hotel through receivership and made the Poinsett one of the most successful and popular hotels in the South "has never been fully explained." In 1946, the Poinsett was named the best medium-sized hotel in the nation. Another sixty rooms were added in 1941, bringing the total to 248.</p><br>
<p>As the number of private automobiles increased during the 1950s, city hotels lost business to motels, which were located on major highways rather than in the urban core. In 1959, the Poinsett was sold to Jack Tar Hotels, and its profitability continued to decline despite renovations made in 1964 that included all new wiring, 70 new telephones, ice machines, and a swimming pool on the roof of the parking garage. Ownership changed hands several times in the 1970s and &#39;80s. Beginning in 1977, James C. Bible (1924-1991) tried to operate the hotel as residence suites for retirees, but he was perpetually at odds with city government over his inability or unwillingness to meet the fire codes. The city finally closed the hotel in January 1987. During the next decade the building was repeatedly vandalized, and intruders set two fires. The hotel was considered one of the most endangered historic structures in South Carolina.</p><br>
<p>Nevertheless, the revitalization of downtown Greenville was already underway during the mayoral administration of Knox H. White. In November 1997, Steve Dopp and Greg Lenox, developers of the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston (also designed by William Stoddart), purchased the Poinsett and acquired a franchise from Westin Hotels & Resorts. The project received about $4 million in tax dollars, and Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits were awarded as part of an approximately $20 million restoration. The Westin Poinsett reopened on October 22, 2000. In 2014, tripadvisor.com ranked the Poinsett first among 63 Greenville hotels. A decade after the grand reopening, Knox White said that saving the Poinsett "was key to so much further growth of Greenville....People began to realize that redevelopment and historic preservation could happen, and it didn&#39;t just mean bulldoze and build modern."</p><br>
<p>The Wilson-Martin House is a historic house at 511 Bond Street in Warren, Arkansas. The two story brick house was built in 1916, and is an excellent local example of Georgian Revival styling, despite later alterations. The house was built by John Rufus Wilson, a lawyer, teacher, and state legislator, and was sold by the Wilsons to Bryan Martin, a local merchant, in 1930. The house has elegant Georgian features, including a hip roof, brick corner quoins, and a projecting front entry porch with triangular pediment. The entrance is flanked on both sides by three casement Prairie-style windows. The second floor of the front has a pair of small windows above the entry porch, and flanking sash windows on either side.</p><br>
<p>The house originally had single-story porches on three sides, but those on the east and south sides have been enclosed and topped by a second floor chamber. Other alterations have been made to the interior of the house, but it has retained much of its original material, including the porch supports for the enclosed porches.</p><br>
<p>The property also includes original landscape elements. A poured concrete base wall lines the north and west property lines, with brick anchor posts. The sidewalk and driveway entrance have iron gates mounted on brick gate posts.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Inspiration Point Shelter House is an open-air pavilion located at Marion Sansom Park in Fort Worth, Texas. Built in 1927, the pavilion stands on a limestone bluff facing south-southwest overlooking Lake Worth dam, an old fish hatchery and the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. The structure was designed in a style sometimes referred to as National Park Service Rustic or Parkitecture. It was built primarily of limestone. On December 22, 1973, a fire destroyed the original roof. The pavilion was restored in 2011. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Raubold House is a historic house on Chesham Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. Completed in 1901, it is a good example of a vernacular house built for immigrant mill workers. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Raubold House is located west of Harrisville&#39;s village center, set high on the north side of Chesham Road about 0.2 mi west of its junction with Nelson Road. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and gabled roof with short returns. A covered porch extends across the south and east facades, supported by turned posts.</p><br>
<p>This house was built in 1901. It is a modest workers house of a sort typically built in the town for immigrants working either in the mills or at one of the local summer resort estates. Robert Raubold, its first owner, was a German immigrant who had jobs both at the Cheshire Mills and at Aldworth Manor. The next owner was his nephew, Alfred Dietze, who worked as a gardener at a Dublin estate. A later owner was the stationmaster at Harrisvilles railroad station.</p><br>
<p>St. Cloud Heritage Museum is a history museum in downtown St. Cloud, Florida, Osceola County, Florida. It is housed in the Veterans Memorial Library building at 1012 Massachusetts Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The museum is operated by the Womans Club of St. Cloud and the City of St. Cloud.

<p>The Abijah Richardson Sr. Homestead is a historic house at 359 Hancock Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built about 1795, it is one of Dublins oldest houses, built by Abijah Richardson Sr., one of the towns early settlers and progenitor of a locally prominent family. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Abijah Richardson Sr. Homestead is located in a rural setting of northeastern Dublin, on the west side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) about 0.2 mi north of its junction with Spring Street. It is a -story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade has five bays on the first floor and three on the second, arranged symmetrically around the main entrance. It has a broad cornice and simple corner pilasters, suggestive of a 19th-century addition of Greek Revival touches. An ell extends to the rear, connecting the house to a shed and barn that are of late 18th or early 19th-century construction.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1795 by Abijah Richardson, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War who moved here from Woburn, Massachusetts, first living in a log structure that stood nearby. When built it had basic late Georgian/early Federal styling; the current Greek Revival features were probably added by Richardson&#39;s son Malachi. The house was in the Richardson family until 1968. A number of other 19th-century Richardson family properties survive in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Deacon Abijah Richardson House is a historic house at 334 Hancock Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1818 by the son of an early settler, it is a well-preserved example of an early 19th-century Cape-style farmhouse. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Deacon Abijah Richardson House stands in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the east side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137), about 0.2 mi north of its junction with Spring Road. It is a -story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has a five-bay facade with a center entry, and a narrow central chimney that is a replacement of an earlier large one. It is oriented with its main facade facing south (perpendicular to the road), with a 19th-century shed extension extending from the northeast corner. Additional outbuildings include a barn and blacksmith&#39;s shop.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1818 by Abijah Richardson, Jr., son of one of Dublin&#39;s first settlers, whose house stands across the street a short way to the north. The Richardsons have long been a fixture in this part of Dublin. This house was still in the hands of Richardson descendants in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The John Richardson Homestead is a historic house on Hancock Road in Dublin, New Hampshire, United States. Built about 1798, it is a well-preserved example of a modest Federal period farmhouse. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Richardson Homestead is located in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the west side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) north of Spruce Ridge Drive. It is a -story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide and two deep, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the main entrance. Although the massing is basically Federal, later alterations including corner pilasters and a center entrance with sidelights give it a Greek Revival feel. There are two interior brick chimneys. Attached to the north end of the building is a single-story brick ell, also with a gabled roof. Outbuildings on the property include a three-car garage and barn.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1798 by John Richardson, whose brother Abijah built his house further down the road on the same lot. The Richardsons, along with the intermarried Eaton family, were a major presence in this part of Dublin in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Judith Ann is a riverboat that historically plied the Stikine River in southern Alaska and western British Columbia. Built in 1950, the wooden-hulled boat operated on the river between 1950 and 1970, was the last boat to offer scheduled service on the river, and is the only surviving service watercraft to ply the river. She operated between Wrangell, Alaska and Telegraph Creek, British Columbia. She is now owned by the Stikine River Historical Foundation, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Germantown Redoubt  is a redoubt built during the Civil War by Union troops. This was built along a relatively sharp bend of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad . It is located a couple miles east of the Old Germantown neighborhood in Germantown, Tennessee. Federal troops built the garrison after they took control of Corinth, Mississippi  and the railroad. From an archaeological standpoint, it is significant in that it is one of the few intact defense structures found of its size. This has given historians a perspective on how these forts were constructed and artifacts found there have given a hint about the daily life at the fort.</p><br>
<p>Today, the area is protected in a 5-acre Germantown City Park, located within a suburban neighborhood. The earthen structure is still intact, but the original timber retaining walls were destroyed in late 1863 (a portion of an example wall still remains). Several replica cannons are on site, as well as educational markers. The park includes a small parking area and playground. The Norfolk Southern railroad is still visible from the fort through a clearing.</p><br>

<p>The Luke Richardson House is a historic house at 204 Hancock Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built about 1820, it is a good local example of a mid-19th century farmhouse with modest Greek Revival features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Luke Richardson House stands in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the south side of Hancock Road (New Hampshire Route 137) about 1 mi north of its junction with New Hampshire Route 101. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has an unusually narrow profile, with a two-bay front facade. A single-story porch extends across the front and along one side. An early 20th-century barn stands nearby on the property.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1820 by Luke Richardson, son of early settler Abijah Richardson, Sr, whose early homestead stands nearby. Luke Richardson operated a gristmill and sawmill on a nearby property, and was instrumental in establishing a Trinitarian Congregational church in Dublin in 1827. Later owners include Charles F. Appleton, who built a hydroelectric facility on Wilder Brook and provided Dublin with its first electric service, and artist Tom Blackwell, who used the barn on the property as his studio.</p><br>
<p>The James Robbe Jr. House is a historic house on Old Peterborough Road in Dublin, New Hampshire, United States. Built about 1825, it is a well-preserved example of a typical early Cape-style farmstead. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The James Robbe Jr. House stands in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the north side of Old Peterborough Road near its junction with Goldmine Road. It is a -story wood frame Cape-style structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows symmetrically arranged around the center entrance. A long and narrow single-story ell connects the main block to a second block, which has living quarters above a basement-level garage.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1825 by James Robbe Jr., whose father was an early settler of nearby Peterborough, and whose house foundation stands nearby. The main block of the house is a typical Dublin farmhouse of the period, similar in style to the nearby Micajah Martin Farm. It was built about the time of Robbes marriage to Mary Powers, the daughter of a neighboring farmer. The property has had a variety of owners since it was sold by Robbes widow in 1840.</p><br>
<p>The Sawyer Tavern is a historic building at 63 Arch Street in Keene, New Hampshire. Probably built c. 1803–06, it was long a neighborhood landmark, serving as a tavern and then inn and restaurant for parts of the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is now in residential use. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sawyer Tavern is located in western Keene, on the north side of Arch Street a short way west of Keene High School. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a symmetrical arrangement of sash windows around the center entrance. The entrance is simply framed, with a four-light transom window above. Extending to the left of the main block is a long single-story ell, which historically housed the tavern&#39;s summer kitchen and some horse sheds. A smaller ell, possibly of older construction than the main block, extends to the rear. The interior retains a number of original features, including inside shutters on some windows, but the second-floor ballroom has been partitioned into bedrooms.</p><br>
<p>This landmark building was built no later than 1803–06, and has a long record as a tavern and inn in West Keene. Although it is now filled with private residences, it served in both the 19th and 20th centuries as a tavern. It was built by Abraham Wheeler, Jr., a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, and was originally known by his name. His son-in-law Josiah Sawyer later took over the business, and it was subsequently run by his two spinster daughters. The building was used as a tavern until 1883, and was sold out of the family in 1922. It was then operated as a restaurant and tea room until 1950.</p><br>
<p>Porter Memorial Library is the public library of Machias, Maine. It is located at 92 Court Street in the center Machias, in an architecturally distinguished Romanesque Revival building, whose construction was funded by native son Henry Homes Porter. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library is located near the center of Machias&#39;s downtown area, at the junction of Court and Free Streets. It is a 1-1/2 story masonry building, constructed out of ashlar granite in the Romanesque Revival style. It has an T-shaped plan, the stem of the T paralleling Court Street, with gable ends facing to the north, west, and south, that are capped by Romanesque pinnacles. The main entrance is in the northern corner of the T, sheltered by a portico with large round arches. The adjacent gable end has a band of five smaller round-arch windows on the first floor, and a pair of slender round-arch windows in the attic level.</p><br>
<p>The Machias Library Association was formed about 1815 by Rufus K. Porter, a local attorney. His son, Henry Homes Porter, was a successful railroad executive. With the library of his hometown lacking in funding and a permanent home, he gave $1,500 in 1891 to stabilize its financial situation, and promised an additional $9,000 for construction of a permanent home. The present building was designed by Boston, Massachusetts architect George A. Clough and was completed in 1893. It was named to honor both Porters for their role in its founding.</p><br>
<p>The F/V Charles W, also known as Annie J Larsen, is a historic fishing schooner anchored in Petersburg, Alaska. At the time of its retirement in 2000, it was the oldest fishing vessel in the fishing fleet of Southeast Alaska, and the only known wooden fishing vessel in the entire state still in active service. Launched in 1907, she was first used in the halibut fisheries of Puget Sound and the Bering Sea as the Annie J Larsen. In 1925 she was purchased by the Alaska Glacier Seafood Company, refitted for shrimp trawling, and renamed Charles W in honor of owner Karl Siffermans father. The company was one of the pioneers of the local shrimp fishery, a business it began to phase out due to increasing competition in the 1970s. The Charles W was the last of the companys fleet of ships, which numbered twelve at its height. The boat was acquired in 2002 by the nonprofit Friends of the Charles W.</p><br>
<p>The boat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Todd Block is a historic commercial and civic building at 27-31 Main Street in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. It consists of two separate buildings that were conjoined in 1895, creating an architecturally diverse structure. The front portion of the building is a -story wood-frame structure with Second Empire styling; it is only one of two commercial buildings built in that style in the town, and the only one still standing. It was built in 1862, and originally housed shops on the ground floor and residential apartments above. The front of the block has a full two-story porch, with turned posts, decorative brackets and frieze moulding. The corners of the building are pilastered, and the mansard roof is pierced by numerous pedimented dormers. The rear section of the building was built in 1895 as a hall for the local chapter of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows . The principal feature of this three-story structure is its east facade, which has a richly decorated two-story Queen Anne porch.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is a rare local example of a mid-sized commercial building, and the IOOF hall is one of the largest structures to be built in the town in the late 19th century. It is the only surviving Second Empire commercial building in the town (one of only two built). It housed the towns first drugstore, and remained a center of the towns commerce into the mid-20th century. The drugstore closed in 1956, and the property was rehabilitated for primarily residential use in 1985, retaining a smaller storefront at the front of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Midway Plantation House and Outbuildings are a set of historic buildings constructed in the mid-19th century in present-day Knightdale, Wake County, North Carolina, as part of a forced-labor farm.</p><br>
<p>The two-story plantation house was built in 1848 about 0.75 mile west of present-day Knightdale, along the wagon trail that would eventually become USA Route 64. It was built by Charles Lewis Hinton, a farmer, slaver owner, and state treasurer, as a wedding gift for his son, David, and daughter-in-law, Mary Boddie Carr (sister of Governor Elias Carr). David and Mary&#39;s daughter, the anti-suffragist Mary Hilliard Hinton, was born here. It was named for its position halfway between two other Hinton family properties: Beaver Dam and The Oaks.</p><br>
<p>Other structures on the site included a carriage house, kitchen, smokehouse, potato house, well house, ice house, cotton gin, loom house, doll house, office, school, two stables, and several slave quarters. Of these, only the kitchen, school, office, and carriage and doll houses remain.</p><br>
<p>In June 2005, the house and surviving outbuildings were moved about 2 mile north to make way for a large shopping center. The move and Hinton family history are documented by Hinton descendant and film critic Godfrey Cheshire in Moving Midway (2007).</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Dacres Hotel is a historic hotel in Walla Walla, Washington, United States. Rebuilt from the ruins of Walla Walla&#39;s first brick hotel, the 1873 Stine House, the Italianate building was re-opened in 1899 by James E. Dacres. The building is a rare and exceptional local example of the pre-fabricated cast iron facades manufactured by the Mesker Brothers. Bennes, Hendricks & Tobey remodeled the building in 1907. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Ceasing operations as a hotel in 1959, the building currently houses a live music and events venue known as The Dacres on the ground floor while the upper floors remain unused.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Stine House</h3><br>
<p>Frederick Stine was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania on November 24, 1825, one of 14 children. In the 1830s the family moved to a farm in Ohio where Frederick picked up the blacksmith trade from his father. In May 1852 Frederick, his brothers and twenty-three other men set off from St. Joseph, Missouri bound for Sacramento, California, reaching their destination in a mere two months and one day. After spending time in Marysville and Yreka plying his trade, Frederick departed for eastern Washington on a trip that would prove much more difficult than his first.</p><br>
<p>Stine arrived in the bustling village of Walla Walla in May 1862 with, by his own account, only the clothes on his back and 75 cents to his name. He scraped together enough loaned money to purchase a corner lot on Fourth and Main streets and build upon it a shanty to house his blacksmith shop. With the small frontier town swarming with miners and emigrants with their wagons, his shop proved very lucrative and with additional business from the cavalry stationed at Fort Walla Walla he was able to pay his creditors back within a few months. The hotel was built of bricks fired in Weston, Oregon, lime mortar shipped from San Francisco and most expensively, windows made in France that had to be shipped around Cape Horn and portaged up the Columbia River to Wallula. Opened in August 1873, the Stine House was the first 3-story brick building in Walla Walla and with 50 rooms it was the largest hotel in Washington Territory. It was designed in a simple Italianate style, with corbel window arches (which are still extant on the building&#39;s east facade), a ground floor arcade and a simple brick cornice; a wooden balcony wrapped around the front of the building above the first floor. Although Stine built it and named it after himself, he never operated the hotel, opting to continue his blacksmith business at 4th and Rose Streets until retiring in 1880. He died in June 1909.</p><br>
<p>The Stine became the towns social gathering place and the stopping point for all the major stage lines from Lewiston and LaGrande. It even offered free carriage service between the hotel and the train depot, and reasonably priced service to anywhere else in town. The hotel was so well appointed that several local families chose to live in the hotel while renting out their own homes. In a letter to the Deseret News in December 1881, a traveler visiting the city spoke highly of the Stines atmosphere:</p><br>
<p>The Stine became the meeting place for many dignitaries, most notably president Rutherford B. Hayes and his entourage including his wife Lucy Webb Hayes and commanding general William Tecumseh Sherman, who dined in the hotel&#39;s restaurant during their visit to Walla Walla in October 1880.Business was good enough that the hotel was doubled in size in 1882, extending it south to the alley and bringing the room total to 100. A new Italianate wooden cornice was added to the entire building.</p><br>
<p>The Stine remained the towns preeminent hotel until the night of July 23, 1892, when it was gutted by a fire that had spread from an adjacent French restaurant. Despite the fire department being located only a block away, their response was reportedly too slow to rescue the building. All the hotels guests and staff were able to escape but the property loss on the Stine House alone was estimated at $30,000, only one third of which was ensured. Stine blamed the city for his loss and even threatened suit, but nothing came of it. Any attempts at rebuilding were stalled by the Panic of 1893, and it stood as an empty ruin for the rest of the decade.</p><br>
<h3>Hotel Dacres</h3><br>
<p>In 1899 a group of investors headed by Walla Walla pioneer George Dacres and his son James E. Dacres purchased the burnt out shell of the Stine House and began to rebuild it. The hotel was once again doubled in size and the entire Main Street frontage was rebuilt with a pre-fabricated cast iron facade manufactured by Mesker Brothers in St. Louis, Missouri and shipped to Walla Walla by rail. It was and is the largest Mesker facade in Washington State. The second floor was adorned with a wrought iron balcony, echoing the wooden one that had adorned the Stine House.</p><br>
<p>The hotel suffered another large interior fire in 1905, caused by a shorting electrical fan, but remained open while repairs were made. In 1907, the hotels then manager, Art Harris (a previous manager of the Geyser Grand Hotel in Baker City, Oregon), commissioned Portland architects Bennes, Hendricks & Tobey to completely remodel the hotel, with plans calling for a complete interior remodel, adding one or even two floors and an elevator, but this never fully came to pass. With a scaled-back interior remodeling complete, the hotel reopened on 1 April 1908, touting a new European Plan. The hotel was visited by another president when William Howard Taft made his visit to Walla Walla in 1911. By the 1920s, many other larger and more modern hotels were opening in town, and the Dacres settled in as a mid-range travelers hotel, housing road and railroad crews and itinerant farm workers. The hotel officially left the Dacres family in 1921 when it was sold to E.C. Davis, who had previously run the Revere Hotel in Pomeroy, Washington. In 1924 Eugene Tausick, a leading businessman and the owner of the company in charge of the rival Grand Hotel, purchased the hotel from Davis.</p><br>
<p>For the next few decades the building remained vacant save for several small businesses on the ground floor. Several plans to restore the building and even the original Stine House name were proposed in the mid-1960s but were always stymied by the expense of bringing the building up to current fire codes. In 1974, the hotel was nominated for state and national landmark status as part of a history project by Washington State University student Robert Hergert. It was accepted to the National Register in September 1974, only the second building in the County to be registered (the first being Fort Walla Walla). In 1982 the building was purchased by Robert Finch who began restoration on the ground floor in earnest. In 2013 the ground floor, previously occupied by several restaurants, was remodeled into a performing arts venue known as Main Street Studios before closing several years later. In 2018, the venue was revived as "The Dacres", hosting live music and other events.</p><br>
<p>The American Stock Exchange Building, formerly known as the New York Curb Exchange Building and also known as 86 Trinity Place or 123 Greenwich Street, is the former headquarters of the American Stock Exchange. Designed in two sections by Starrett & van Vleck, it is located between Greenwich Street and Trinity Place in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City, with its main entrance at Trinity Place. The building represents a link to the historical practices of stock trading outside the strictures of the New York Stock Exchange , which took place outdoors "on the curb" prior to the construction of the structure.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally erected in 1921, thus improving the stature of the New York Curb Exchange, which had been a curbside exchange. The structure was enlarged between 1929 and 1931 following an increase in trading volume. The New York Curb Exchange was renamed the American Stock Exchange in 1953, and the American Stock Exchange moved out after merging with the NYSE in 2008. The structure was subsequently purchased by developers who planned to convert the building into a hotel.</p><br>
<p>The original structure, facing Greenwich Street to the west, is designed in the Renaissance Revival style, with a set of large arched windows providing light to the former trading floor. The eastern expansion, on Trinity Place to the east, is designed in the Art Deco style as a 14-story building. The expanded structure contained offices and conference rooms, as well as an elaborately decorated facade with a central entrance and reliefs signifying the building&#39;s use. The American Stock Exchange Building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978 and was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2012. It is also a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District, a NRHP district created in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The American Stock Exchange Building stands in the Financial District, occupying a parcel that extends from Trinity Place to Greenwich Street, just south of Thames Street. It is a fourteen-story steel frame structure, with its formal facade, finished in limestone, facing Trinity Place. It measures 180 ft wide at its widest point, and has a frontage of 170 ft on Trinity Place and 174 ft on Greenwich Street.</p><br>
<p>Both the original 1921 structure and its later enlargement were designed by the New York firm Starrett & van Vleck. The Trinity Place annex may have been influenced by designs from the firms younger employees, including Frank Gaertner, who had submitted the annex plans to the New York City Department of Buildings. The annexs style is similar to that of the Downtown Athletic Club and 21 West Street, located several blocks south, which were designed by Starrett & van Vleck during the same era.</p><br>
<h3>Facade</h3><br>
<h4>Greenwich Street</h4><br>
<p>The original structure was a six-story building with a fireproof limestone facade on Greenwich Street, measuring 174 by. The Rider&#39;s Guide to New York City, published in 1923, described it as having a "simple classic design".</p><br>
<p>The facade facing Greenwich Street is of gray brick, and is divided into eight vertical bays. Five of these bays correspond to five three-story-tall large round-arch windows overlooking the main board room on the second floor; There is a corresponding pair of rectangular windows on the sixth floor above each round-arch window. The northernmost bay contains two windows on each floor, rather than an arched window spanning the second through fourth floors. The words are carved above the arched windows.</p><br>
<h4>Trinity Place</h4><br>
<p>The Trinity Place facade is about 170 ft long, and is 14 stories and 210 ft tall. It is designed primarily in the Art Deco style and is divided into seven bays. The facade is made of limestone, and the base is made of granite; this might have served to distinguish it from the neighboring Trinity Court Building to the south.</p><br>
<p>The first floor facade is a limestone water table containing three entrances.</p><br>
<p>In the center bays, there are five long rectangular windows spanning the second through fifth floors, giving the Trinity Place facade a similar character to the Greenwich Street facade. The windows are flanked by recessed, decorated metal grills. Above the boardroom but below the offices, there is a windowless section of facade, behind which is a ventilation system. On the 12th floor, each of the five center bays contain a set of three windows. The 13th and 14th floors are recessed slightly, with five 6-paned windows in the center bays of each floor. The tops of the piers are more angular compared to the rounded piers in the lower floor.</p><br>
<p>The embellishment is relatively sparse, since the annex had been built shortly after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. There are grilles depicting frozen fountains outside the 13th floor, which signified modernity at the time of the building&#39;s construction, and there are panels depicting financial activity in each of the windows overlooking the trading floor.</p><br>
<h3>Features</h3><br>
<p>The building has a floor area of 181,725 ft&sup2;. In the original six-story building, the main entrance was from Trinity Place; this entrance led to the main board room or trading room. The board room spans the entirety of the second through fifth floors measuring 65 ft high. with 16 traders posts designed to resemble street lamps, and a capacity of 700 traders. The annex featured an artificial cooling system; enunciator call boards on the north and south walls; expanded telephone exchanges on the west and east walls; and a 6 mi system of pneumatic tubes from each traders post to the ticket transmitter station. Later, the traders posts were replaced with electronic posts, and the west wall received a series of clerks desks.</p><br>
<p>The Greenwich Street entrance led to the cafeteria, workers restaurant, and cloakroom in the basement. The upper floors were accessed by a set of three "high-speed" elevators in the northern portion of the lobby. There was ventilation equipment on the sixth floor. The seventh through fourteenth floors included offices, as well as rooms for each of the Curb Exchanges committees. There was a fully functional hospital for Curb Exchange employees on the ninth floor. The Board of Governors was housed on the thirteenth floor in a room measuring 51 by.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>New Yorks stock trading activity historically took place in outdoor spaces until 1792, when a predecessor to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was founded, and some trading moved into their building. Trading continued to take place "on the curb" outside the New York Stock Exchange Building. The outside traders benefited from the NYSEs refusal to allow trade in some types of securities, and became a leading marketplace for non-listed securities. This market had no fixed location, moving around as traffic and other conditions dictated.</p><br>
<p>Starting in the 1880s, Emanuel S. Mendels and Carl H. Pforzheimer attempted to standardize the loosely organized curb market of curbstone brokers on Broad Street. The New York Curb Market Agency was established in 1908 to codify trading practices. Three years later, the curbstone brokers had come to be known as the New York Curb Market, with a formal constitution and brokerage and listing standards.</p><br>

<p>By the 1910s, the Curb was handling an increasing volume of shares, and in 1915, its president Edward R. McCormick suggested moving the market indoors to increase investors trust in the market. Though Mendels had suggested moving the Curb indoors as early as the 1890s, McCormicks proposal was seriously considered as a way to provide a weatherproof location for brokers as well as to remove "unethical bucketeers" from the exchange. In June 1919, the Curbs members formed the Curb Market Realty Association in an attempt to more strictly regulate the market. Later the same month, the Curbs members approved a set of rules that would allow the building to be erected, and limited its future membership to 500 members. The following month, there was a proposal to merge the Curb and the NYSE, a plan that was dropped in November 1919.</p><br>
<p>The Curb Market purchased a 26,000 ft2 L-shaped plot between Greenwich Street and Trinity Place in December 1919 for $1.6 million (equal to about $ million in ). The site had been the former location of a building occupied by the American Bank Note Company. Though the site was abutted by noisy elevated railways—the Ninth Avenue Line on Greenwich Street and the Sixth Avenue Line on Trinity Place—this was not considered significant, as subway stations had just opened nearby, which would later directly replace the elevated railways. Furthermore, the Trinity Place side was located across from the cemetery of Trinity Church, making it unlikely that any large development would be built there. The Curb paid out some of the land acquisition cost in January 1920, but temporarily halted planning that July due to a lack of funds or a suitable financing stream. The financial situation had improved by October 1920, when the New York Title & Mortgage Company promised $800,000 to finance the construction of the new structure.</p><br>
<p>Blueprints for the Curb Market structure were filed with the city government in November 1920. The original building was situated on Greenwich Street, with a passageway from Trinity Street to the main entrance; the rest of the Trinity Street side contained a small landscaped forecourt, which could accommodate a future building expansion or be sold off to pay the buildings mortgage. Construction started within the month, with the Thompson–Starrett Co. as contractor. At the time, the structure was slated to cost $1.3 million. The Curb Markets brokers anxiously awaited the buildings completion: historian Robert Sobel states anecdotally that one Curb member considered the new structures completion more important over "the building of his own home", another equated it to "waiting out the birth of a new child", and a third compared it to a child "counting the days till Christmas". The restaurant space was leased out to Tankoos, Smith Co. in April 1921. The building opened on June 27, 1921, at which point the New York Curb Exchange was the second largest in the USA, behind the NYSE. After moving indoors, the Curb Market grew to include a wide selection of issues, including "high-class industrial, public utilities, oils and domestic and foreign bonds", and within ten years, the Curb Market had 2,300 stocks on its list.</p><br>
<h3>Stock exchange operation</h3><br>
<p>By 1929, the Curb Market had outgrown the operations of the original building. That year, the Curb&#39;s building committee proposed adding eight office floors above the board room, as well as expanding the board room, thus extending the Curb Market building into the remaining undeveloped portion of its lot. The board of governors received the plans that May and voted to approve the plan two months later; Plans were filed with the city government in January 1930, and construction of the annex started the next month. As part of the expansion, the adjacent Hamilton Building was acquired for $1.2 million. The steel work was about halfway completed when the cornerstone for the annex was laid in July 1930. The original building remained largely unchanged, except for the removal of its eastern wall to accommodate the annex.</p><br>
<p>The annex was designed with additional capacity for future growth, and should more space be necessitated, the Hamilton Building could be demolished for yet another expansion. The New York Times said that the new facilities could "take care of markets of much larger size than have yet been witnessed", During the war, the Curb Exchange rented out four of the upper floors for defense purposes, and the Curb rented out a floor from the Hamilton Building.</p><br>
<p>The Curb Exchange was renamed the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) in 1953, and the exterior signage on Trinity Place was changed accordingly. The value of shares traded in the AMEX nearly doubled during the 1950s to $23 billion. To accommodate the increased volume, the AMEX filed plans to expand the trading floor in 1967, and subsequently reorganized the trading floor. In 1975, AMEX chairman Paul Kolton indicated that the exchange was studying whether it should split the trading room into two floors. Kolton said that the board of governors had budgeted $100,000 toward studying an expansion as part of a five-year expansion program. The next year, the exchange started considering relocation, even as it spent $2 million to expand its existing facilities. The AMEX considered moving to New Jersey, Connecticut, or Battery Park City, but its board of governors ultimately voted against these proposals. To encourage AMEX to stay in New York City, mayor Abraham Beame formed a task force to assist AMEX&#39;s expansion.</p><br>
<p>The American Stock Exchange Building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, and by extension was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).</p><br>
<h3>Redevelopment</h3><br>
<p>NYSE acquired AMEX in January 2008, and AMEX sold off their building. On December 1 of that year, the American Stock Exchange Building was closed, and both the Amex Equities and Amex Options trading floors were moved to the NYSE Trading floor at 11 Wall Street. In 2011, the American Stock Exchange Building and the neighboring Western Electric building at 22 Thames Street were purchased by the partnership of Michael Steinhardt and Allan Fried at a cost of $65 million, a quarter of which was spent on the AMEX building. The partnership announced plans to renovate the Greenwich Street building into a retail structure with a hotel, and destroy 22 Thames Street, raising concerns from preservationists and neighborhood residents. That October, Fisher Brothers bought the 22 Thames Street lot, leaving Steinhardt and Fried with the former AMEX building.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, Clarion Partners purchased a 70% stake in the Curb Exchange building from Fried&#39;s company GHC Development.</p><br>
<h2>Critical reception</h2><br>
<p>The erection of the original building resulted in an increase in real estate values on Greenwich Street. The annex was described in the Wall Street Journal as having a "modernistic design". Sobel, writing about the history of AMEX, called the building "a tall, graceful structure" akin to buildings located further uptown. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission wrote in its landmark report that "the expanded Curb stood out for its height and modernity", comparing it to other stock exchange buildings, such as the classical designs of the older Merchant&#39;s Exchange at 55 Wall Street and the New York Mercantile Exchange at 6 Harrison Street. The National Park Service characterized the expanded building as "sleek, business-like".</p><br>
<p>The Silver Lake Farm is a historic farmstead on Seaver Road in northwestern Harrisville, New Hampshire. Established about 1820, it was a highly successful local farm, serving first businesses as far off as Keene, and then the local summer resort trade at nearby Silver Lake. The house is relatively little-altered despite intensive use into the 20th century. The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Silver Lake Farm is located in a rural setting west of Harrisville village, on the west side of Seaver Road south of Breed Road. It is set high on a hillside, with fine views of the surrounding countryside, including the eponymous Silver Lake. It consists of a traditional New England farm complex, with a clapboarded farmhouse that was built c. 1820, a poultry shed, two early 20th-century barns, and a modern tractor shed.</p><br>
<p>The farm was originally established by Paul Whitcomb Breed, whose family gave the lake its early name (Breed Pond). It was later owned by the Farwells and Seavers, like the Breeds prominent Harrisville families. Despite its active use until the 1970s, the farmhouse remained relatively unaltered, lacking even modern heating. In addition to operating the farm, the Seavers also had a sawmill near the outlet of Silver Lake. Their customers included businesses and residents of nearby communities, as well as the summer residents who came to populate the Silver Lake area around the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Smith–Mason Farm is a historic farmstead at Meadow Road and Old Roxbury Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. First developed in the late 18th century, the property has been adaptively used as a farm, summer estate, and family residence, representing major periods in Harrisville&#39;s development. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
