<p>Georgetown Historic District is a national historic district located at Georgetown, Georgetown County, South Carolina. The district encompasses 49 contributing buildings in the central business district of Georgetown. The oldest existing structure in Georgetown is a dwelling which dates from about 1737. There are approximately 28 additional 18th century structures as well as 18 buildings erected during the 19th century prior to the American Civil War. The existing structures—homes, churches, public buildings—are of both historical and architectural significance and are situated on heavily shaded, wide streets. The architecture ranges from the simplicity of early colonial, or Georgian, to the elaborate rice plantation era, such as Classical Revival. Notable buildings include the Georgetown County Courthouse, USA Post Office, The Rice Museum , Winyah Indigo Society Hall, Masonic Lodge, Antipedo Baptist Church Cemetery, Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church complex, St. Mary&#39;s Catholic Church, Kaminski Building, Mary Man House, Dr. Charles Fyffe / Middleton House, John Cleland / Allston House, Samuel Sampson / Henning-Ward House, Robert Stewart / George Pawley House, Martha Allston Pyatt /John S. Pyatt House, Eleazar Waterman / Withers House, and William Waties / Withers House.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The Bass Harbor Memorial Library is the public library of Tremont, Maine. It is located at 89 Bernard Road in the village of Bernard, in an historically significant Colonial Revival building built in 1922 with funds donated by Tremont native Rhoda M. Watson. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library building has two parts, a main block constructed of brick in 1922 and a rear extension framed in wood and built in 1991. The main block is laid in running bond above a row of soldier bricks laid on the concrete foundation, and is topped by a side gable roof. The main facade, facing east, has a central projecting gable-roofed portico supported by modified Doric pilasters and columns. The main wall under the portico, surrounding the entrance, is stuccoed. The wooden door is topped by a semicircular fanlight set in moulded trim. The rear wood-frame addition is more utilitarian, and is clad in vinyl siding.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance leads into a vestibule, and then a reading room which occupies the entire brick 1922 structure. It has a barrel-vaulted ceiling, and its walls are finished in dark-stained beaded boarding. The rear half of the building houses the library stacks, offices, and other modern facilities.</p><br>
<p>The history of the Tremont public library begins with a private collection of books made available by Mrs. Vesta McRae, probably from her own home. This collection grew to about 1200 volumes by 1920. The 1922 portion of the present building was designed by an unknown architect, and was funded by Rhoda M. Watson, a Tremont native who was memorializing her late husband Edwin, an industrialist from Leicester, Massachusetts, and was formally accepted by the town the following year. It is possible that the builder, Charles Lawson, was also its designer; he was Rhoda Watsons brother. Its construction took place at a time when many public libraries were underwritten by charitable gifts, and when libraries were seen as an important aspect of a communitys educational offerings.</p><br>
<p>The William Strongman House is a historic house at 85 Old County Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The oldest portion of this house is its northern ell, a -story structure built in the late 18th century by William Strongman, son of Henry Strongman, who was Dublin&#39;s first settler. The main block of the house, a -story wood-frame Colonial Revival structure, was built by William Wyman in 1899 to resemble typical late 17th-century houses. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Strongman House is located in eastern Dublin, on the north side of Old County Road (a former alignment of the main road between Dublin village and Peterborough). Its main block is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, end chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is four bays wide, with an irregular assortment of single, double, and tripled bands of sash windows arranged around a roughly centered entrance. The windows are topped by projecting cornices, and the entry is framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature. A long single-story ell extends to the rear at right angles to the main block.</p><br>
<p>The ell of the house was built in the late 18th century by William Strongman, who settled this land in 1772. The main block, built in 1899, is Dublin&#39;s only Colonial Revival house based on 17th-century colonial architecture. One of its more notable summer occupants was philosopher Irving Babbitt.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend Farm is a historic farmstead on East Harrisville Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built about 1780 and enlarged about 1850 and again at the turn of the 20th century, it is one of Dublins older houses, notable as the home and studio of artist George DeForest Brush, one of the leading figures of Dublins early 20th-century art colony. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Townsend Farm is located in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the east side of East Harrisville Road a short way north of its junction with Cobb Meadow Road. The house is a rambling multi-section wood-frame structure, oriented roughly perpendicular to the road. Nearest the road is a -story gable-roofed section with Greek Revival features. It has the main building entrance in the rightmost bay of the south facade, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a corniced lintel. To the right of this section is a 5-bay -story Cape with a secondary entrance at its center. Further ells extend east and north from that section.</p><br>
<p>The property was developed in several stages, beginning with the construction of the second section c. 1780 by Abel Wilder. The main block of the farmhouse was built c. 1850 by Jonathan Townsend. The property was acquired c. 1890 by the artist George DeForest Brush, who adapted it for use as his principal residence. Brushs studio, a large shed structure located near the propertys barn, was destroyed by fire in 1930. Brush was a leading figure in Dublin&#39;s art colony, playing host to other artists and luminaries of the art world, including Isabella Stewart Gardner.</p><br>
<p>Weldwood is a historic summer estate house on Old Troy Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1902–03, it is an unusual example of Greek Revival architecture from the early 20th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Weldwood is located in a rural setting of southwestern Dublin, on the south side of Old Troy Road about 1 mi south of Old Marlborough Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, two interior brick chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a shed-roof porch extending across it, supported by round columns. Above the porch, three gabled dormers project from the main roof line. A secondary entrance is located on the street-facing north facade, sheltered by a gabled portico and topped by a half-round transom window. The building features corner pilasters and other Greek Revival features, possibly recycled from a farmhouse that previously stood on the property.</p><br>
<p>This land was settled about 1780 by Amos Emery, who built a farmhouse which stood nearby until 1900, when it was torn down. The present house was built in 1902-03 for George Weld, the brother-in-law of William Amory, who acquired extensive landholdings nearby for his summer estate. Weld operated a summer camp for boys on the property for a few years, and eventually gave it to his son Edric, later headmaster of the Holderness School, as a wedding present.</p><br>
<p>The Rural Cemetery and Friends Cemetery are a pair of connected cemeteries at 149 Dartmouth Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts United States. They occupy an irregular parcel of land more than 90 acre in size on the west side of the city. Established in 1837, the Rural Cemetery was the fifth rural cemetery in the nation, after Mount Auburn Cemetery , Mount Hope Cemetery , Mount Pleasant Cemetery , and Laurel Hill Cemetery . In its early days it was criticized as lacking some of the natural beauty afforded by rolling terrain; the early sections were laid out in rectilinear manner on relatively flat terrain. The cemetery was a popular burial site, including notably the landscape artist Albert Bierstadt and Governor of Massachusetts John H. Clifford.</p><br>
<p>In contrast to the more decorative nature of the Rural Cemetery, the Friends Cemetery is much plainer. It consists of a roughly 2 acre parcel on one side of the Rural Cemetery, which was sold to the Dartmouth Friends in 1849, but is administered by the city. This section has less ornate markers, generally laid out in rectilinear fashion. It includes burials that were relocated from a Friends cemetery (dating to 1793) that had been located on the New Bedford waterfront.</p><br>
<p>The cemeteries were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>

<p>The Wood House is a historic house at the southeast corner of New Hampshire Routes 101 and 137 in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1890, it is a locally distinctive example of Shingle style architecture with Romanesque features. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wood House is located in eastern Dublin, at the southeast corner of Routes 101 and 137 (Lower Jaffrey Road). It is accessed via a short driveway on Lower Jaffrey Road. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and shingled exterior. It is a distinctive Romanesque variant of Shingle style, with round-arch windows on its north and east elevations. The main gable ends are finished scalloped shingles. The second story consists mainly of a large gabled dormer that extends over a recessed porch.</p><br>
<p>This house was built in 1890 as a summer cottage by Horace Wood, whose wife was descended from Moses Greenwood (whose house survives nearby), one of Dublins early settlers. It is one of very few Shingle style houses on the east side of town. It has been in the hands of Woods descendants for many years; among its owners was Harvey Hayes, a professor of physics at Swarthmore College who is credited with the invention of sonar.</p><br>
<p>The Wildwood Cottage is a historic house on Bancroft Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. Built in the 1860s, this -story Greek Revival cottage is one of two surviving houses associated with a small-scale industrial area known as "Mosquitoville". It was probably the residence of the owners of the sawmill at the site. The Mosquitoville complex , was an economically significant part of the town for nearly 100 years, supplying wooden parts to the mills in the center of Harrisville. This house stylistically resembles some of those built in the village.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Willard Homestead is a historic house on Sunset Hill Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. Built about 1787 and enlarged several times, it is notable as representing both the town&#39;s early settlement history, and its summer resort period of the early 20th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Willard Homestead stands in a rural area of western Harrisville, west of the junction of Sunset Hill Road and Monadnock Road. The main house is a rambling structure with a central -story frame section flanked by similarly sized wings. A two-story addition in the 1880s gave the house a T shape. It was converted into a summer residence in 1900, adding the front porch, dormers, and garage. The property also includes a barn, which is believed to date to the 18th century, and horse sheds that were converted to residential use as a guest house.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this -story Cape style house was built c. 1787, and was for many years in the hands of the Willard family. Its first owner, Elijah Willard, served as pastor of the local Baptist church. It was enlarged in the 1880s, and in 1900 it was purchased by Wellington Wells, a state senator from Massachusetts, as a summer residence. Wells&#39; guests included United States Supreme Court associate justice David J. Brewer.</p><br>
<p>The Father William Duncan House, also known as the Father Duncan Cottage and now hosting the Duncan Cottage Museum, is a historic house located at 501 Tait Street in Metlakatla, Alaska. The single-story wood-frame structure was built in 1891 by the Tsimshian followers of the Anglican missionary William Duncan. It was one of the first structures built in Metlakatla after Duncan led a small number of followers there from the like-named village in British Columbia. The front facade is faced in shiplap siding, with four evenly spaced pilasters. There is decorative woodwork in the shallow-pitch gable end. Duncan was an influential leader of the community until his death in 1918.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The J. H. McWilliams House is a historic house at 323 West Oak Street in El Dorado, Arkansas. This two story brick house was built in 1925–26, during the city&#39;s oil boom years. It is the last surviving house out of a row of "oil boom" mansions which originally lined Oak Street. The house is built out of buff brick, and has Mediterranean styling. It was in the McWilliams family until the early 1970s, and then saw a variety of commercial uses, declining in condition. In the early 2000s it was restored.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The W. F. & Estelle McWilliams House is a historic house at 314 Summit Avenue in El Dorado, Arkansas. The two story brick house was built in 1922 for William and Estelle McWilliams, early in El Dorado&#39;s oil boom, which was prompted by the discovery of oil in 1921. McWilliams was a prominent local businessman who operated a number of retail businesses, was a local bank director, and built the Rialto Theatre. The McWilliams house is a stylistically eclectic combination of Craftsman, Classical Revival, and Mission/Mediterranean styling. Based on stylistic evidence, it may have been designed by the Little Rock firm of Kolben, Hunter and Boyd.</p><br>
<p>In 1967, Claude and Glynn Calahan purchased the home and raised their children, Gordon Calahan and Melanie Calahan Walz, in it. The Calahan&#39;s purchased the home from The First Methodist Church of El Dorado in 1967. It was the church parsonage and many weddings were held in the large living room of the home.</p><br>
<p>The Calahan&#39;s lived in the home until 2018. Glynn Calahan, who owned an antique business, filled the home with antiques suitable for the style of the home.</p><br>
<p>The home and property are now owned by South Arkansas Community College and have been incorporated into the college campus which now surrounds the home.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Municipal Building, or City Hall, of El Dorado, Arkansas is located at 204 North West Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>

The front and sides are finished in dressed limestone, while the rear is finished in buff brick. The main facade has a combination of Classical Revival and Art Deco features, with a central projecting entry with a three-story tower.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Cook Memorial Library is the public library of Tamworth, New Hampshire, United States. It is located at 93 Main Street in the center of the town, in an 1895 Queen Anne Victorian building which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The library&#39;s origins are in a private "social library" established in 1796 by Parson Samuel Hidden; the building was given in memory of Charles Cook, a prominent local businessman and politician.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cook Memorial Library stands in the modest town center of Tamworth, on the south side of Main Street just east of its junction with Great Hill Road. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a clipped gable roof, and an exterior finished in a combination of clapboards and decorative cut shingles. The gables extend well beyond the frame, and are supported by paired decorative brackets. A two-story square tower rises at the right front corner, with a round-arch window in the first level, and a clock in the second. It is capped by a pyramidal roof with flared edges. The front facade has a pair of windows set under a pent roof with turned brackets. The library interior retains high-quality period features, with especially fine woodwork in the main reading room.</p><br>
<p>Tamworths library history begins in 1796, with the founding of a private subscription library, which is a direct predecessor to the present institution. Subscribers paid $3 per year for access to a collection of 600 volumes. The present library is named for Charles P. Cook a Tamworth native and successful businessman, and was funded by a gift from Cooks widow, Susan Staples Cook.</p><br>
<p>The District No. 2 Schoolhouse, also known as the Little Red Schoolhouse, is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 2851 Wakefield Road in Wakefield, New Hampshire. Built in 1858–59, it was at the time one of the finest district schoolhouses in rural New Hampshire. It was used as a school until 1941, and now houses the museum of the local historical society. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former District No. 2 Schoolhouse stands near the northern end of the elongated village of Wakefield, on the southwest side of Wakefield Road a short way south of its junction with East Side Road. It is a -story brick structure, with a gabled roof and granite foundation. Its corners have brick pilasters, which rise to entablatures running along the sides. The main entrance is set in a round-arch opening, and there is a half-round opening in the gable end, filled with a wooden panel marked with the year of construction, 1858. A single-story wood-frame ell extends to the rear. The property includes a privy and a fully outfitted 19th-century cobbler&#39;s shop.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1858, after the previous school was destroyed by fire. Apparently as a consequence of that fire, the town decided to rebuild in brick, creating what was then noted as one of the finest district schools in the region. It was used as a public school building until 1941. In 1950 the town leased the building to the Wakefield-Brookfield Historical Society, which purchased it outright in 1956. It now serves as a museum and meeting space for the society.</p><br>
<p>The Durgin Bridge is a covered bridge carrying Durgin Bridge Road over the Cold River in eastern Sandwich, New Hampshire. Built in 1869, it is a rare surviving example of a Paddleford truss bridge, and one of the few surviving 19th-century covered bridges in New Hampshire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Durgin Bridge is located in an isolated rural area of eastern Sandwich. It spans the Cold River between road junctions with Foss Flats Road and Fellows Hill Road on the south side of the river, and Durgin Bridge Road, Bridge View Road, and River Road on the north side. It is a single-span structure with a total length of 110 ft and a width of 19 ft. The span over the river is 96 ft and the roadway width is now 14 ft, having been reduced from 16 feet by the addition of strengthening laminated arches in 1966. The bridge rests on concrete-faced stone abutments and is covered by a metal gabled roof.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1869 at one of two major crossing points of the Cold River (the other at Whiteface village to the northwest). This one was located not far from the mill of James Durgin, and eventually came to be known by his name. It replaced bridges that had been swept away by floods in 1844, 1855, and 1869. Jacob Berry, the builder, eliminated the central pier used by the earlier bridges, and raised the height of the bridge 10 ft. He had previously worked with Peter Paddleford, whose truss design he used for this structure. The laminated arches were added in 1968–69 to allow for the passage of heavy vehicles, including fire trucks. It is the only surviving 19th-century covered bridge in Sandwich.</p><br>
<p>The J.T. Murphy No. 1 Crater is the site of a historic oil-drilling accident near Norphlet, Union County, Arkansas. The site is located about 3 mi north and west of Norphlet, off Firetower Road about 3/4 mile  north of its junction with Baugh Street. On May 14, 1922, an oil drilling crew completed a 2,000 ft well, dubbed J.T. Murphy No. 1, and began pumping. The early production was entirely natural gas, which began escaping from the drill collar. Eventually it caught fire, burning for several hours, and destroying the derrick. It also caused a series of violent underground explosions. This resulted in the creation of a crater 450 ft in diameter and 50 ft deep, along with a number of other, shallower, craters. The land, which had previously been in cotton production, was abandoned, and has gradually returned to forest.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The W.L. Hill Store, built in 1913, is an historic three story department store located on York Street in the town of Sharon, York County, South Carolina. It is by far the largest building in town. Designed in the commercial style, by locally prominent architect Julian Starr, its size and grandeur was meant to mimic larger stores in major cities. On January 20, 1995, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is located in the Hill Complex Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Joel Smith House is a historic house at the northeast corner of the junction of United States Route 167 and County Route 5 in rural Union County, Arkansas. Built, this two-story vernacular I-house was the home of Joel Smith, one of the first white settlers of Union County. The house is a rare surviving early example of a typical colonial-style house with matching shed-roof side porches. The property is also thought likely to yield archaeological finds useful in assessing and understanding frontier life in the area.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Smith-McCurry House is a historic house on Arkansas Highway 15, 3.5 mi east of El Dorado, Arkansas. The oldest portion of the house is a single-story dog trot house that was built in 1867 by Lawson Smith for his son David Carroll Smith. The house was inherited in 1919 by Mamie Smith McCurry, notable as a prominent investor in early oil exploration in Union County. The third well in the county, a successful gusher, was drilled on her land. She then invested further in oil exploration, forming a partnership with Bruce Hunt, a geologist, and the drillers Hensy and Zoda, and eventually participating in exploratory drilling operations in seven states. She used proceeds from her oil successes to expand the homestead and add then-popular Craftsman details to it.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Eagle Mountain House is a historic resort hotel at 179 Carter Notch Road in Jackson, New Hampshire. Built in 1916 and enlarged in 1929, it is one of the few surviving grand mountain resort hotels in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The hotel is currently a member of, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Eagle Mountain House stands close to the west side of Carter Notch Road (New Hampshire Route 16B), north of Jackson Village. It is set on the west side of a valley, with Eagle Mountain behind it and Black Mountain across the valley to the east. It is a large -story wood-frame structure, with a basically U-shaped plan, with the base of the U parallel to the road and its legs extending to the west. It is covered by a gabled roof studded with both pedimented gable dormers and shed-roof dormers. Some of the upper-level windows have original diamond-pane sashes. A single-story porch, 220 ft long, extends across the front, becoming two stories at the left end where the ground slopes away. The interior public spaces retain original finishes and features, including a working 1926 elevator.</p><br>
<p>The town of Jackson had by the 1840s developed a reputation as an artists colony, for the rugged scenery of the area. Tourism in the area expanded significantly with the arrival in the 1850s of the railroad at nearby Glen. By the 1880s Jackson had five large hotels, one of which was Eagle Mountain House. It was established in 1849 by Cyrus and Marcia Pinkham Gale, on land first settled by her ancestor, Captain Joseph Pinkham. Originally little more than a farmhouse, it was expanded to house as many as 125 guests before it was destroyed by fire in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the present building was built in 1916 at the direction of the Gales&#39; son, Arthur Pinkham Gale, who also drew the preliminary plans for the building. Construction was by Intervale contractor Roswell Ward. It is one of five remaining large-scale resort hotels built in the late 19th and early 20th century in New Hampshire, and the only one of five such hotels that was built in Jackson. It was doubled in size by an addition in 1929, and was fitted with the latest in modern amenities, including steam heat and an elevator. The hotel remained in the Gale family until 1973.</p><br>
<p>The William K. Eastman House, also known as the Eastman-Lord House, is a historic house museum at 100 Main Street in Conway, New Hampshire. Built in 1818, it was the home of William K. Eastman, a prominent local businessman, politician, and civic leader until his death in 1879. Now home to the Conway Historical Society, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William K. Eastman House stands in near the center of Conway Village, on the north side of Main Street (New Hampshire Route 16), a short way west of its crossing of the outlet of Pequawket Pond. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It has a symmetrical five-bay front facade, with a center entrance framed by sidelight windows, pilasters, and an entablature. It is sheltered by a Victorian hip-roof porch three bays wide, with turned posts and decorative jigsawn brackets.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1818 by William K. Eastman, who made it his home until his death in 1879. Eastman was a major economic force in Conway, operating a tannery, general store, and mill. His mill and tannery operations were located just to the east, using Pequawket Pond as a power source; none of these industrial properties have survived. He was also prominent in local politics, serving as sheriff, town selectman, and in the state legislature. He was wealthy enough to afford a four-wheel chaise coach, one of fifteen men to do so in the town&#39;s 1840 census. He sold the house in 1879 and moved to Minnesota, where he died. The house was donated by Raymond Lord to the Conway Historical Society in 1962. It is headquartered there and operates it as a house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Jonathan Barnes House is a historic house on North Street in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. Built about 1775, it is locally distinctive as one of only a few colonial-era houses, and is a well-preserved example of Georgian styling. It has also seen a number of socially significant uses, serving at times as a tavern, library, music school, and fraternal lodge. Surviving interior architectural details provide a significant view into the history of tavern architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jonathan Barnes House stands in the rural village of Hillsborough Center, on the east side of the triangular junction of Center and North streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior, and is oriented facing south. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by Tuscan pilasters and topped by a transom window and gabled pediment. Windows are rectangular sash with corniced caps; that above the entrance is smaller than the others. Two additions project from the east side of the main building, one of which is also of early construction. An 18th-century barn is located on the property to the north of the house.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house follows a typical center hall plan, with two rooms on either side of the main hall. The rooms on the west side of the hall have fixtures consistent with their use as a tavern, and the second-floor chambers above them have configurable partition walls, enabling the space to be turned into a single large ballroom.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1773-75 for the Rev. Jonathan Barnes, the first settled minister of the town. Local lore says that it was built by Isaac Baldwin, a local master carpenter who lost is life in the Battle of Bunker Hill, early in the American Revolutionary War. The house has seen a wide array of uses, including as a library (founded in 1797), music school, marching band facility (1825), and Masonic lodge. The tavern-related features of the interior are among the best-preserved of their type in the region.</p><br>
<p>The Birchwood Inn is a historic tavern and inn on New Hampshire Route 45 in the center of Temple, New Hampshire. With a construction history dating to the early 19th century, it is an architecturally important example of how traveler accommodations changed in rural New Hampshire in the 19th century. The inn has been identified as "The Birchwood" since 1892, and was the town&#39;s only public accommodation for most of the 19th century. The building, still in use as a restaurant and inn, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In 1981 the inn and surrounding area were used in the filming of the movie Summer, based on an Edith Wharton novel.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Birchwood Inn is located in Temple&#39;s central village, on the east side of NH 45, at its junction with General Miller Highway. Its main building is a 2½ story, roughly rectangular, brick and wood-frame structure. The front half of the building, its five-bay width and about half of each side wall, are faced in brick, while the rear of the block is framed in wood and sheathed in clapboards. A single-story porch extends across the front and wraps around the sides, supported by chamfered square columns. Walls on some of its interior spaces were painted by muralist Rufus Porter, and it retains a well-preserved period taproom. This block is connected by an ell to a barn-like structure (built c. 1847–48), which was used for stabling horses on the ground level and has a large open hall above.</p><br>
<p>The early construction history of the building is not known. Based on its style, the inn was built during the Federal period (roughly 1790–1830), and has served as a center of hospitality ever since. The building has historically been used for town meetings and other civic and social events, serving as the town post office and general store. The expansion in 1847-48 made it possible to expand the establishment&#39;s entertainment offerings, with a sprung wooden floor in the second-floor ballroom. The front porch was added in 1892, when it was purchased by new owners and converted into a boarding house catering to tourists. Its amenities were further updated in the 1930s to include inside plumbing and electricity.</p><br>
<p>Extensive restoration of the entire building was done throughout January and February 2020. The renovations were focused on maintaining the historic atmosphere of the structure, with materials being purchased exclusively from local sources. Within the tavern, the high tables and bar top are constructed from a cherry tree that fell during the 2008 ice storm in the local town of Sharon.</p><br>
<p>The Birchwood Inn began hosting live music performances in April 2020. The performances were performed outdoors in front of the tavern, where residents could stop and enjoy. The musicians were also streamed live to the Birchwood Inn&#39;s social media page, during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since then, due to licensing laws, they no longer offer copyrighted music, but do have local musicians who play for beer, food and tips and specialize in "Old Time" and original music.</p><br>
<p>The Brick Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 432 New Hampshire Route 123 in Sharon, New Hampshire. Built in 1832, it is the only of the town&#39;s three such buildings to survive, and was the only one made of brick. It is also the only school building now standing in the town, since its students have been schooled in neighboring Peterborough since 1920. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brick Schoolhouse is located in a rural setting of central Sharon, on the east side of Route 123 north of its junction with Mountain Road. It is set on a grassy rise above the road. It is a single-story structure 26 ft wide and 30 ft long, with a gabled roof. The main facade faces south, and has the main entrance at its center, flanked by short transom-like fixed windows. The side walls each have two sash windows. The interior is divided into two sections, with an entry vestibule 5 ft deep, and the schoolroom occupying the rest of the building. The original wooden desks still occupy their places.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1832, after another district school located nearby was destroyed by fire. As it was the second on that site to suffer that fate, the town decided to build the third school out of brick. It was one of three district schools the town built during the 19th century, and remained in use as a school until 1920, when the town began sending its students to Peterborough. The building continued until 2007 to serve municipal purposes, seeing uses as a town meeting site, polling place, and town records repository.</p><br>
<p>The Gilmore House is a historic house at 764 River Road in Calais, Maine. The -story wood-frame house was designed by New Brunswick architect Matthew Stead and built c. 1850, probably for Alexander Gilmore, an Irish immigrant and local merchant. The house is a remarkably sophisticated execution of Gothic Revival styling, given that at the time of its construction, Calais was essentially a frontier town. It is the most sophisticated of a trio of Gothic Revival houses. It is, like one of its neighbors, the George Washburn House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, although its address has changed since its listing.</p><br>
<p>The Gilmore House is a roughly rectangular block, with its main facade facing southeast, and a secondary facade facing southwest, toward the street. Its main roof spine runs parallel to the street, and the street-facing facade has two cross gables flanking a central three-part window on the second level. The gables are decorated with bargeboard, finials, and pendants. Narrow rectangular windows are placed in the gables, and the second-level windows have slender hoods. The first floor is sheltered by a porch which extends across the front of the house, and wraps partway onto the southwest facade. The porch roof is supported by slender columns that are connected by woodwork Gothic arches.</p><br>
<p>The front of the house is three bays wide. The second level center bay has a balcony, with a projecting gable section partially sheltering it. It is also decoratively enhanced with bargeboard, pendants, and a finial at the top. The northwest and northeast faces of the house are less ornately decorated, but there is still some decorative trim. A two-story addition extends northeast.</p><br>
<p>The George Washburn House is a historic house at 772 River Road in Calais, Maine. The -story wood-frame house was built c. 1855 by George Washburn, and is one of a trio of Gothic Revival houses standing in a row. One of the others was built by George Washburn&#39;s brother Charles; the third, which is the most elaborate, was built by Alexander Gilmore. Nothing of substance is known of the Washburns, or of who built their houses. The George Washburn House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, at which time its address was 318 Main Street.</p><br>
<p>George Washburn&#39;s house is three bays wide, with a side gable roof pierced at the ridge by two symmetrically placed chimneys. The main facade is symmetrically arranged with a central entrance flanked by a pair of elongated windows. The entry is slightly recessed, with the door flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight. The second level consists of three steeply-pitched gables, aligned above the entry and windows below. The central gable is covers a small balcony that projects, providing a sheltered area above the entry. The balcony has spindled balusters and a decorative skirt. The gable is supported by square posts, which are joined by a decorative cut-wood valance. The gable end are decorated with bargeboard, with a finial and pendants. The flanking gables are simpler, with paired narrow windows topped by carved projecting lintels. These gable ends are also decorated with bargeboard and a slightly smaller finial and pendant.</p><br>
<p>At the rear of the house is a porch that was added in 1947 and enclosed in 1962.</p><br>
<p>The John Covington Moore House is a historic house in rural Clay County, North Carolina. It is located on North Carolina Route 1307, about 4 mi from the county seat, Hayesville. The -story log structure was built c. 1838 by John C. Moore, not long after the forced removal of the Cherokee from the area. The building is mounted on fieldstone piers, and has a porch extending across its front. There are shed-roofed rooms across the back of the house, and an exterior chimney at one end.</p><br>
<p>John C. Moore is acknowledged as Clay Countys first white settler. He began homesteading in the area as early as 1833, and claimed the land around this house after the Cherokee removal. He was one of Clay Countys first commissioners.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The John Covington Moore House appears to have been removed from the land it was on by 2019.</p><br>
<p>The John Franklin Cobb House, also known as the Cobb Plantation, is a historic house in rural Cherokee County, North Carolina. The oldest portion of the house is a log structure built in 1863, making it one of the few surviving pre-Civil War structures in the county. It is also notable as a place frequented by baseball legend Ty Cobb in his childhood; he was a grandson of the original builder, John Franklin Cobb. The house is, outside of the log cabin at its core, a rambling structure consisting of a variety of additions to the original log cabin. The house has been enclosed in weatherboarding since the 1880s. It was for many years the center of a farm of some 150-200 acres, and was in the Cobb family until 1977.</p><br>
<p>The house, as well as outbuildings on a roughly six-acre parcel, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The house is located about two tenths of a mile down a private drive, west of US Route 129-19, about seven-tenths of a mile south of its junction with SR 1583.</p><br>
<p>The Carpenter and Bean Block is a historic apartment house at 1382-1414 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1883 and enlarged in the 1890s, it is a well-preserved example of a late Italianate brick tenement building. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Carpenter and Bean Block is located at the northern end of downtown Manchester, at the northwest corner of Elm and Dow Streets. It is a large, roughly L-shaped brick building, which was built in two stages. The first section, built in 1883, is a three-story sixteen-bay structure with vernacular Italianate styling. In 1892 a four-story section, seven bays wide, was added which has similar styling. The bays are grouped in fours, each separated by a strip of brick that rises the height of the building. Each section has a recessed entry, with a segmented arch overhead, and granite steps, wrought iron railing, and iron bootscrapers.</p><br>
<p>The building was built as an investment property by Josiah Carpenter and Nehemiah Bean, prominent local businessmen and real estate developers. The land originally belonged to the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, and was sold to Carpenter and Bean with the constraint that construction be of brick. It was designed by John T. Fanning, a prominent local architect with a number of significant regional industrial and residential commissions. It is his only known example of a tenement house. The building underwent a certified historic rehabilitation in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Pierce Carpenter House is a historic house at 1800 Elm Street on the north side of Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1891 for the president of the Amoskeag Paper Company, it is a fine local example of high-style Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and was home to the local chapter of the American Red Cross for approximately 71 years from the start of WWII.</p><br>
<p>Today it is a privately owned office building protected by the Manchester Historic Association and known as the Carpenter Historic Building, LLC, which recently completed an award-winning historic renovation to the Carriage House onsite to bring back the stable and carriage entrance and former original living space for the caretaker now in use as office space. The building is a local point of interest to visitors of Manchester and part of the Manchester Historic Association&#39;s guided tours of Manchester historic homes and people. It is open to public viewing during working hours.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Frank Pierce Carpenter House is located north of downtown Manchester, at the northwest corner of Elm Street (USA Route 3) and North Street. The house is roughly square in shape, with a three-story turret at its southeast corner and a projecting window bay at its southwest corner. A -story ell which originally housed service facilities projects to the west. The main (eastern) facade is three bays wide: the turret occupies the left bay, and the main entrance the center. The entry is sheltered by a single-story porch supported by clustered Tuscan columns (replacements c. 1970 for originals styled like those on the building&#39;s porte-cochere). The interior is lavishly decorated with period woodwork and imported marble.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1891 for Frank Carpenter, then the president of the Amoskeag Paper Company, and a major city benefactor. It was probably designed by Edgar A. P. Newcomb, who Carpenter had hired to design the citys Carpenter Memorial Library. The multi-acre estate that Carpenter amassed around the house was sold off in portions after his death in 1938, and the house was given a temporary lease of the property during World War II. This lease was made effectively permanent after the war, and the property was formally transferred to the Red Cross in 1993 by Carpenters heirs, subject to preservation easements.</p><br>
<p>The Amos Chase House and Mill are a historic property on New Hampshire Route 114, just south of the Piscataquog River in Weare, New Hampshire. The mill, built about 1849, is the last 19th-century mill standing in Weare, and the house, built about 1836, is a good example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Amos Chase House and Mill are located in northern Weare, on the west side of New Hampshire 114 just south of its crossing of the Piscataquog River. The house is oriented facing the road, while the mill is behind it, on the bank of the river. The house is a 2½-story Greek Revival structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has two similar five-bay facades (southeast and northeast) with central entries framed by pilasters and topped by architraves. The adjacent mill building is also a wood-frame structure, with a flat roof and clapboarded exterior. Both buildings have seen only modest and superficial alteration since their construction. Elements of the raceways providing water to the mill are still in evidence outside the building, and a stone dam built by Amos Chase spans the river.</p><br>
<p>The mill is the only surviving 19th-century mill building in Weare, out of a cottage industry that once saw a dozen or more such buildings. The house was built about 1836 by Amos Chase, as was a mill. That mill burned in 1844; the present mill was built by Chase as a replacement a few years later. This mill was the only one in the town to survive the New England Hurricane of 1938, although its waterwheel was washed away. Amos Chase was a tool manufacturer, one of several members of a locally prominent family operating small mills in the town. His son later used the mill in the manufacture of baskets.</p><br>
<p>The Former Caswell Public Library is an historic building at 42 Main Street in Harrison, Maine. Built in 1908-09, it is one of the small community&#39;s most architecturally distinctive buildings, designed in the Romanesque Revival style by a local architect. It is named for Daniel Caswell, a generous benefactor to the library, and housed the local public library until 2004. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building is presently vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Caswell Public Library stands on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Routes 35 and 117), in the village center of Harrison, at the northern end of Long Lake. It is a single-story stone structure, built out of uncoursed granite cobbles mortared in place. The building is basically rectangular, with a hip roof. A semicircular section projects from the southern part of the eastern facade, its semi-conical roofline joining that of the main roof. A round turret projects from the southwestern corner of the building, topped by a conical roof. The entrance is set recessed in a projecting vestibule that features a segmented-arch opening and corner pillars that rise above the projection&#39;s roof, giving a crenellated effect. The interior is arranged similarly to other 19th-century libraries, with a central circulation desk, a reading room in the semicircular section, and the stack area to the rear. The basement houses offices and a small meeting area and kitchen space.</p><br>
<p>The Harrison Public Library Association (renamed the Caswell Public Library Association in 1947) was established in 1906, its initial collection based on the content of two private circulating collections in the town. The building that housed its collection was destroyed by fire in 1907, although the collection was saved. Daniel Caswell, a Harrison native living in Texas, donated $1,000 to a building fund, conditioned on it being named for him. The present building was constructed in 1908 on land previously occupied by a church which had burned down. The architect was John Proctor, a Harrison resident whose only known works are in the immediate area; it is his only known library commission. There is a distinct stylistic resemblance between the library and Caswell&#39;s house in Austin, Texas, suggesting the benefactor may have had an influence on the design.</p><br>
<p>The building housed the library until 2004, when space concerns prompted its move to larger quarters. The building presently stands vacant.</p><br>
<p>The Contoocook Mills Industrial District of Hillsborough, New Hampshire, encompasses the industrial mill complex of the Contoocook Mills, a major business in the town from the 19th century to the mid-20th century. Industry on the banks of the Contoocook River in Hillsborough began as early as 1763, when a sawmill and gristmill were operated in the area. More modern industrial activity began in 1828 with the construction of a cotton mill by Josiah Marcy. This three story timber frame building stands on the south side of Mill Street, on a granite foundation through which a raceway provide the water which powered the mill. Marcy expanded his operations, building a grist mill and saw mill before his death in 1848. The grist mill, a handsome brick building on the north side of Mill Street, was operated as such until 1884, after which it was converted into the picker building for the main mill complex.</p><br>
<p>The "main mill" stands prominently overlooking the falls. It consists of two buildings, possibly built at different times, that are connected. The western portion, nearest Bridge Street, is a timber-frame construction built in 1865 by John Butler Smith, who purchased the existing mill complex from Marcys heirs. He also built the dye house and office, brick buildings located south and east of the main mill. Smiths business was eventually incorporated as the Contoocook Mills Company, giving the complex its name. The mills were the community&#39;s largest employer for many years, producing mainly woolen underwear. The mills had shut down by the early 1960s, and were rescued from demolition by local community efforts. Some of the buildings have been converted to residential use, while others remain in light industrial use.</p><br>
<p>A portion of mill complex, consisting of five buildings between Mill Street and the river, was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. This listing was expanded in 1985 to add buildings on the south side of Mill Street.</p><br>
<p>The Dunlap Building is a historic commercial building at 967 Elm Street in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. It is a large five-story brick building occupying a corner lot on Manchester&#39;s principal commercial street. It was built in 1879 as a four-story building, and extensively rebuilt in 1908, when the fifth story was added. The first floor is lined by storefronts on both Elm and Amherst Streets. The second through fourth floors of the Elm Street facade are three bays wide, the bays divided by pilasters. Separate pilasters separate the bays on the top floor. The original second-floor windows were replaced in 1908 by large plate-glass windows. The third-floor windows have a segmented-arch top and the original 1879 window surrounds, although the windows themselves have been replaced by modern sash windows. The windows on the upper two floors are in rectangular openings with granite sills. The Amherst Street facade is also divided by pilasters and has similar window treatments, although a number of the second-floor windows have been partially bricked over.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1879 for Thomas Dunlap, on the site of one of Manchesters first large commercial buildings, which dated to the early 19th century. It was designed by local architect and engineer George W. Stevens. Architect John T. Fanning occupied an office on the third floor. Its fourth floor was originally occupied by the meeting hall of the International Order of Good Templars, a fraternal society. The buildings 1908 alterations were designed by locally prominent architect Chase R. Whitcher, and notably introduced structural steel and styling derived from the increasing number of skyscrapers in major cities. Its elevator, also added in 1908, is a rare example of a retrofit; earlier elevators in Manchester were all designed into their buildings during construction. It was one of the most advanced office buildings of its time.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Flint Estate is a historic summer estate in Antrim, New Hampshire. The estate consists of a collection of five buildings, some of early-to-mid 19th century origin, either brought together or built by Wyman Kneeland Flint beginning in 1913. They represent the surviving elements of the village of North Antrim, much of which was destroyed by fire in 1888. Most of the estate is now owned by Hawthorne Academy .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Flint Estate is located in northern Antrim, on the north side of the North Branch River east of Stacy Hill Road. It includes his mansion, a c. 1817 brick structure that he had significantly enlarged in 1913–14. It also includes the c. 1820 North Branch Schoolhouse, acquired by Flint as a philanthropic gesture to help fund the construction of a new school, and since converted into a residence. The North Branch Chapel is a c. 1877 wooden structure, and the Sawyer House is a c. 1846 vernacular Greek Revival house. Flint used his property as a summer estate and a gentleman&#39;s farm. It later served as the campus of Nathaniel Hawthorne College, whose modern buildings were generally located west of the original buildings of the estate.</p><br>
<p>When the area that is now Antrim was first settled in the 18th century, it had no clear village centers. The village of North Antrim arose around a small mill complex on the North Branch River, where a waterfall provided power for saw- and gristmills built in the 1770s. It was also located near the northern end of the main north–south road through the township. The Keene Road (whose modern alignment is New Hampshire Route 31) was built east–west through the village in 1834, originally running along the northern bank of the North Branch. The original Flint house was at the time of its original construction one of the largest and finest in the village. The bulk of the village, located on the south bank of the river, was destroyed in a major fire in 1888.</p><br>
<p>The Corbin Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge over the North Branch of the Sugar River on Corbin Road, approximately 1 mi west of NH 10 in Newport in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, United States. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, but was removed following its destruction by fire in the early hours of May 25, 1993. It has since been reconstructed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The structure is a Town lattice truss bridge, originally built in 1845, destroyed by fire in 1993 and subsequently reconstructed, consisting of one span with a total length of 96 ft. The total width of the bridge is 18 ft, and has a single lane road. The bridge rests on stone abutments. The bridge passes 12 ft over the water. Its sides are sheathed, the usual means by which the truss elements are protected from the elements.</p><br>
<p>The John Ash House, also known as Rowan House, Coker House and Rickles House, is a historic residence near Ashville, Alabama. John Ash emigrated from York County, South Carolina, first to Georgia, later settling in what is today St. Clair County, Alabama in 1817. Ash became a successful farmer, and served as a judge and member of the first Alabama State Senate. In 1821 Ash was one of five local leaders appointed to oversee the construction of a county courthouse and jail; the county seat was later named Ashville in his honor. Ash built a one-story dogtrot log house around 1820. In the 1830s, the house was extensively modified: three rooms and a second story were added to the house, and the exterior was covered with frame siding. The central dogtrot was filled in, and the main portion now resembled an I-house. A triangular pedimented gable adorns the front of the house, and each side has a brick chimney. A porch was added to the front of the house in the early 1900s. The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1990 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Freese&#39;s Tavern is a historic tavern and general store at 1011 Whittier Highway, the northwest corner of the junction of New Hampshire Routes 109 and 25 in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. With a building history dating to about 1780, and a continuous history of operation as a tavern, general store, post office, library, and town hall, it is one of the oldest establishments of its type in the United States. It is presently known as The Old Country Store, and includes museum displays on its history. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Old Country Store is located in the village center of Moultonborough, at the northwest corner of Whittier Highway (NH 25) and Holland Street (NH 109). The 2-1/2 story building is built out of rough-hewn timbers and sheathed in clapboards. Single-story porches shelter both street-facing facades. A shed-roofed ell, originally a stable, is attached to the south side, and a small 1-1/2 story gabled addition was added to the north side in 1870, and two additional wings were added in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the building, now an ell, was built c. 1780 by George Freese. Freese played a leading role in local politics, and it was during his ownership that town meetings began to be held here. David Bean, the next proprietor, also served as postmaster for the town. In the late 19th century an upstairs space housed the town library. The building ceased to house the post office in 1967.</p><br>
<p>The Lexington Historical Museum is a museum with a collection of historic items related to Lexington, Missouri. The Greek Revival building was constructed in 1846 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is located in the Old Neighborhoods Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and at one time the Old Library Building, the museum was restored with help from the local gardening club, and opened in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Hansen&#39;s Annex is a historic house on Main Street in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire, United States. Built about 1839, it is one of a small number of Greek Revival buildings to survive, out of many that once graced the town. It has seen use as a single-family residence, tavern, and boarding house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and included in the Center Sandwich Historic District, in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hansen&#39;s Annex stands in the village of Center Sandwich, on the south side of Main Street (New Hampshire Route 113) just west of its junction with New Hampshire Route 109. It is a two-story wood-frame house, three bays wide and a single room deep, with a side-gable roof. The front facade has a centered entry, with flanking sidelight windows and a slightly peaked entablature. A single-story ell extends behind the building, joining it to a 20th-century garage. The interior of the house is sparely finished, with beaded vertical planking on the walls.</p><br>
<p>The village of Center Sandwich experienced a significant flowering of architecture between 1830 and 1860, with a significant number of temple-fronted Greek Revival buildings constructed, including commercial and residential buildings. This assemblage was one of the finest such collections in New Hampshire&#39;s Lakes Region, but was largely lost in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to fire and demolition. This house is one of the few remaining buildings with Greek Revival features.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime before 1839, when its sale from Ezra Gould to John Folsom was recorded, and apparently served as a private residence at that time. By 1868 it was owned by George Hansen, who used the house and an attached barn (no longer extant) as a tavern and livery stable. Hansen&#39;s son Frank bought a house across the street, which he converted for use as a tenement, making this smaller house a functional annex to that property. In 1965 it was converted back to single-family use.</p><br>
<p>The Bradbury Jewell House is a historic house at 154 Ferncroft Road in Sandwich, New Hampshire. Built about 1802 by an early surveyor of the region, it is a well-preserved example of high-quality second-generation frontier architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bradbury Jewell House stands near the end of Ferncroft Road in the remote northeastern corner of Sandwich; this area is only accessible via Tamworth, and is bordered on the north by the White Mountain National Forest. The house stands in a clearing on the north side of the road, opposite Squirrel Bridge Road, a private lane. The house is fairly small (30 by 40), five bays wide, stories in height, with a central chimney. There is a small gable-roofed ell attached to the east side of the house. Its central entry is flanked by sidelight windows; the house otherwise has vernacular styling, but is remarkably little changed since its construction. The property includes a barn built in 1805, and a garden shed built c. 1975.</p><br>
<p>Bradbury Jewell was a surveyor hired by a Sandwich landowner in 1768 to survey the Ferncroft area. In 1780 he settled in what is now Tamworth, where he built the first frame house, but moved to the New Hampshire coast a few years later. He returned to Sandwich in 1802, and had by the following year built this house. Its relatively modest styling is reflective of the frontier nature of the property, but also shows evidence in its interior features of more sophisticated architectural knowledge Jewell would have acquired during his years on the coast. Jewell is known to have business dealings with John Langdon, whose 1786 house is one of the most sophisticated houses of the period in Portsmouth.</p><br>
<p>Aikens Wash is an archaeologically and geologically significant wash located in the Mojave National Preserve in San Bernardino County, California. The wash includes several pictograph and petroglyph sites dating from the late pre-Columbian period. The proximity of pictographs and petroglyphs is unusual in the Mojave Desert region. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Aikens Wash National Register District. The district comprises 1,450 acre, including all major archaeological sites in the wash.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The two largest rock art groupings are at Aikens Arch and Milky Way Caves; other prominent groupings are at Aikens Cove, Aiken&#39;s Tank, Metate Cliff, Shadow Cave, and The Dikes. Patterns depicted in the petroglyphs include anthropomorphs, circles and curves, grids and lattices, and occasional zoomorphs or phytomorphs; the pictographs, which mainly use red dye, show similar patterns.</p><br>
<p>The wash also includes multiple pre-Columbian habitation sites. Three rockshelters have been found in the wash; all are associated with rock art sites. In addition, a house site has been discovered near Aiken&#39;s Arch; the site includes multiple round house rings.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The wash is also one of the most significant volcano sites in the Mojave Desert. The site includes multiple extinct cinder cones and volcanic flow areas. The volcanoes originally date from two periods; one set emerged in the early Pleistocene, while the other came about in the late Pleistocene or Holocene. The most recent volcanic activity in the region most likely occurred between 800 and 1000 years ago.</p><br>
<p>The Libby Museum is a natural history museum at 755 North Main Street  in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. The museum was founded by Dr. Henry Libby in 1912, and was the first museum in the state dedicated solely to its natural history. It is owned by the town of Wolfeboro, and is open seasonally between June and October. The museum&#39;s building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The museum is located in northwestern Wolfeboro, on the north side of NH 109 overlooking the Winter Harbor inlet of Lake Winnipesaukee. It was built between 1908 and 1912 by Dr. Henry Forest Libby and constructed by local workmen from timber felled from nearby Rattlesnake Island. It is a basically rectangular building, covered by a hip roof and set on a concrete foundation. Its exterior walls are finished in stucco, and are divided into bays articulated by pilasters. At the top of most bays, just below the roofline, is a large single-pane window. One bay at the center of the main facade houses the museum entrance, sheltered by a gabled portico. The interior of the museum is a single large chamber, with plaster walls and hardwood floors. An unusual air circulation pattern facilitates natural cooling of the building, with air vents to the outside at the base of some of the bays.</p><br>
<h2>Collection and history</h2><br>
<p>The museum was the brainchild of Dr. Henry Libby, who had amassed a large collection of natural specimens, and began planning for the museums construction in 1890. The museum building was designed by Dr. Libby in consultation with C. Howard Walker of Boston, Massachusetts, and was completed in 1912. Dr. Libby died in 1933, leaving the museum in trust to his children, or the town if they did not want to manage it. In 1956, the town formally exercised its authority to assume management of the museum. Of New Hampshires early museums, it is the first to be exclusively dedicated to the state&#39;s natural history.</p><br>
<p>The museum collection includes specimens of plants, animals, birds, and fish, as well as minerals. It is open seasonally between the beginning of June and the Columbus Day weekend in October; admission is charged.</p><br>
<p>Windermere was a historic summer estate at the southern tip of Long Island, the largest island in New Hampshires Lake Winnipesaukee. Developed in the early 1890s, it was one of the largest country estates on the lakes shores. The main house, a three-story mansion built in 1891–92 by Frank Eugene Greene, is the most elaborate such house built in Moultonborough. A 5 acre remnant of the estate, encompassing the former main house and some outbuildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The property is now a residential condominium.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshires largest lake, is roughly shaped like a three-fingered hand, the fingers pointing approximately north. The right two fingers are separated by the Moultonborough Neck, from which a narrow channel separates it from Long Island, the lakes largest island. Long Island juts more directly south, and it is roughly the southern third of the island that was the Windermere estate.</p><br>
<p>The island was farmed for much of the 19th century by a few families, the southernmost by Robert Lamprey until 1891, when he sold his holding to Frank Eugene Greene, a doctor who made and marketed patent medicines. He retained J.H. Besarick, an architect from Boston, to design his estate, which was built over a reported two-year period between 1891 and 1893. Materials for the buildings were brought to the site by boat, and the workmen doing the construction, said to number about 200, camped in tents.</p><br>
<p>The principal surviving elements of the estate complex are its main house, gatehouse/caretaker&#39;s cottage, two barns, an ice house, and a hen house. The main house is a large three-story wood-frame building, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The building has massing that is Colonial Revival, and includes decorative features from Queen Anne and Shingle styles. When built, the house had all of the modern amenities of the time, include gas lighting. Fresh water was supplied from a water tank in the attic of the cow barn, which was supplied from the lake by a steam-powered pump.</p><br>
<p>The buildings of the complex today have been converted to residential use; the house has been subdivided into multiple residences.</p><br>
<p>The Avondale Mill Historic District is a former mill village in Pell City, Alabama. Part of the Avondale Mills, the area is architecturally significant for the first sawtooth roofed mill in Alabama, and the mill village represents a relatively intact example of an early 20th century company town. The mill and its village were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mill was built in 1902–1903 on the northwestern outskirts of Pell City, at the confluence of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and Southern Railway lines. Sumter Cogswell purchased the 400 acre of land in 1890 after stopping to change trains in the town. By 1902, he had convinced Atlanta industrialist George W. Pratt to build a cotton mill on the land. The following year, the Pell City Manufacturing Company began operational with 21,000 spindles and 640 looms.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, the mill was purchased by the Birmingham-based Avondale Mills Company. At the time, the mill employed 600 people. Avondale spent over $1 million improving the mill and village homes during the 1920s and 1930s. A hospital was built in 1925, streets in the village were paved, and 40 new houses were built, bringing the total to 163 by 1945. Mill capacity was expanded to 25,584 spindles, 800 looms, and 800 employees by 1940. The mill village was incorporated into Pell City in 1956, and the company gradually sold the houses to private owners.</p><br>
<p>Automation and foreign competition caused employment to decline beginning in the 1970s. In the aftermath of a deadly train crash at one of its facilities in South Carolina, Avondale closed its plants in Pell City and Sylacauga and sold several others in July 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Mill</h3><br>
<p>The main mill building was a two-story structure built of brick and measuring approximately 225 by 640 feet (70 by 200 meters). The mill featured a sawtooth roof, which allowed clerestory windows to be placed on the vertical roof sections for light and ventilation. It was the first saw-toothed mill in Alabama. The walls were lined with windows and blind arches, separated by stepped string courses. The walls are punctuated by protruding buttresses at the bases of the sawtooths and small vents that open into the clerestory area. Four two-story pavilions spaced along each of the long sides of the building contained restrooms and staircases. The interior was divided into four large rooms: the main mill room at the north end, the picker room and dye room in the middle, and the weaving room at the south end.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the main building, the complex consisted of engine and boiler rooms, a 180 ft chimney stack, reservoir and water works, a warehouse, an office building, a cottonseed oil mill, and a cotton gin. Today, only the office and a water tower remain.</p><br>
<h3>Mill village</h3><br>
<p>The mill village was constructed at the same time as the mill, and originally consisted of 115 houses. The village grew to a height of 163 houses in 1945. Roads were laid out in a grid pattern to the north and east of the mill complex. Houses were built to four different plans: a pyramidal four-room plan with a central chimney and front porch that was either shed roofed or gable roofed; a side-gabled three room plan, which featured two equal-sized rooms with a rear shed room; a hipped roof three-room plan, where the main entry opens into a vestibule leading to the other two rooms; and a cross-gable six-room plan, which was built for managers and foremen and featured a central hipped roof with hipped roof ells on either side. The majority of the houses have been modified, many with rear additions and enclosed porches.</p><br>
<p>In addition to houses, the village also contained a school (closed in the 1960s and demolished in the 1970s), community house (used until it was demolished in the 1980s), and a hospital (built in 1925 and demolished in 1965).</p><br>
<p>The Alpheus Gay House is a historic house at 184 Myrtle Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Built c. 1870 by Alpheus Gay, a local building contractor, it is one of the state&#39;s most elaborate Italianate houses. The house was owned for a time by the nearby Currier Gallery of Art, but is now in private hands. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alpheus Gay House is located in a predominantly residential area northeast of downtown Manchester, at the northwest corner of Myrtle and Beach streets. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with gabled roof section and a flushboarded exterior. It has complex massing, a roofline studded with paired brackets on the main block and modillions on the servants wing, and a three-story tower above its main entry. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch with square posts and decorative arches below the cornice. Windows have a variety of surrounding treatments, including rounded arches, peaked lintels, and bracketed flat lintels with projecting cornices. A carriage house is attached to the houses eastern servants&#39; wing, with vertical board siding and simpler but similar styling to that on the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1870 by Alpheus Gay, a prominent local contractor, as his personal residence. It appears to have borrowed heavily from design patterns published by Andrew Jackson Downing and Calvert Vaux. It is a late but particularly well-executed example of the Italian villa style promoted by those architects, and has undergone only modest alterations since its construction.</p><br>

<p>The Goffstown Covered Railroad Bridge was a rare railroad covered bridge in Goffstown, New Hampshire. It was built in 1901 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, on the site of an earlier bridge built in 1850 by the New Hampshire Central Railroad, and carried its tracks across the Piscataquog River in the center of Goffstown. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. as would later be the case with the Hillsborough Railroad Bridge in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Goffstown Covered Railroad Bridge was located in the village center of Goffstown, just east of the bridge carrying New Hampshire Route 114 (Main Street) across the Piscataquog River. The bridge was oriented at an angle to the banks of the river, on granite slab abutments that are still visible, capped in concrete. The bridge was a single span truss structure with a clear span of 117 ft and a total structure length of 129 ft. Its trusses were a combination of Town lattice trusses and Pratt trusses, with an integrated laminated arch. Portions of the trusses have iron reinforcements in the form of turnbuckles. The bridge had an inside horizontal clearance of 15 ft and a vertical clearance of 21 ft. The railroad deck was supported by a web of timbers anchored into the trusses.</p><br>
<p>The first bridge on the site was built about 1850 by the New Hampshire Central Railroad. In 1895 the line came under control of the Boston and Maine Railroad, which built this bridge as a replacement in 1901. The line, which originally ran to Henniker, was abandoned to Goffstown (ending short of this bridge) in the 1930s, and was still in operation to that point when the bridge was listed on the National Register in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was destroyed by a deliberately set fire on August 16, 1976. Smoke from the fire could be seen as far as Manchester, 8 mi away. Heat from the burning bridge was so intense that paint blistered on the fire engines parked nearby. At the time, the Boston & Maine Railroad was still serving two customers on the western side of the river, Kendall-Hadley Lumber and Merrimack Farmers Exchange. Despite this, the railroad decided not to replace the bridge. Freight service still ran on the line east of the river until September 20, 1980, with total abandonment following in February 1981.</p><br>
