<p>Cherokee Plantation is a historic house in Fort Payne, Alabama. The house was built in 1790 as a two-story log cabin by Andrew Ross, a judge on the Cherokee Supreme Court and brother of Principal Chief John Ross. In 1834 a second log cabin was built connected to the rear of the original cabin, and a third was built to the northeast, separated by a breezeway. Ross, being one-eighth Cherokee, was forced to leave his home in 1838 under the provisions of the Treaty of New Echota, of which Ross was a signatory; a portion of the Cherokee Trail of Tears passes in front of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house passed to William W. McFarlane, who enclosed and expanded it further in 1845, giving the house its present Greek Revival appearance. The Kershaw family made further modifications and renovations in the 1930s and 1960s. Current owners, the Brewer family, have continued the renovations. The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The W. B. Davis Hosiery Mill  is a historic industrial complex in Fort Payne, Alabama. It opened in 1884 in the midst of Fort Paynes economic boom, manufacturing building hardware and supplies. The main building, which features Colonial Revival details, is three stories tall, with 12-over-12 sash windows on each floor. An 85-foot  chimney has a flared top and corbeled brick course, imitating a doric order column. By 1890, hopes that large quantities of iron ore and other minerals would be discovered in the Fort Payne district proved to be ill-founded. The ABHMC and seven of Fort Payne&#39;s other large manufacturers merged in an effort to remain in business, but they were unable to avoid bankruptcy.</p><br>
<p>The mill building was purchased in 1909 by hosiery executive W. B. Davis, and converted it into a factory providing ribbing, knitting, and looping. The operation was soon expanded to include dyeing, shaping, and packaging, as it became the largest employer in Fort Payne and gave the town its nickname of the "Sock Capital of the World". The factory underwent a large expansion beginning in 1927, including a large wing off of the main building, a knitting building, an expanded boiler room, other storage buildings, and an annex across the street. In 1948 the company was sold, and in 1974 a new building was constructed adjacent with production moved out of the original building.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The Annex was added to the National Register listing in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. James J. Bothwell House, also known as Bothwell-Embry House, is a historic residence in Ashville, Alabama. The house was built in 1835 for James Bothwell, the second doctor in Ashville, and also a clerk of the circuit court. It is a two-story Federal-style house, with a two-story pedimented portico supported by four Doric columns. In 1852 a wing was added to the rear of the house for a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor and a bedroom above. Another ground floor bedroom wing was added in 1882. Another bedroom was added above in 1917, and the area between the wings was enclosed. The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is to be sold at auction in May 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Hamblet-Putnam-Frye House is a historic house at 293 Burton Highway in Wilton, New Hampshire. This two story wood-frame house was probably built in the 1760s, and significantly altered in the late 19th century. The property includes a c. 1840 barn, a c. 1900 carriage house that has been converted into a garage, and a small c. 1900 ice house. There are also remnants of an early 19th-century mill works, including a stone foundation, canal and sluice gate. The canal and sluice gate were altered in the early 20th century to permit the canal section to be filled for swimming. The northern boundary of the 6.8 acre property is defined by a surviving section of a road that was laid out c. 1760 which was taken out of public use before the end of the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The property captures the adaptive alteration of early farmsteads and industrial properties to more recreational purpose. The house was built by Hezekiah Hamblet, and acquired in 1808 by Eliphalet Putnam, who operated what is now called Fryes Measure Mill, located just east of this property, as well as the millworks on this land. Although the ownership of the two parcels diverged in the 19th century, they were reunited by purchases made by Alice and Edmund Frye, who used the house as a summer residence, and continued to operate the Fryes Measure Mill, while that on this property was demolished.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Hancock Village Historic District encompasses the town center of Hancock, New Hampshire. It extends the length of Hancock&#39;s Main Street, from Pine Ridge Cemetery and the common to the west, and the junction of Bennington, Norway Hill, and Forest roads to the east. It then extends a short way up Bennington Road. The common was laid out in 1785, and the village developed nearby over the next 100+ years. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hancock Village is located near the geographic center of the rural hill town. The town was settled in the 1770s and was incorporated in 1780, but without provision for any public spaces. Because the exact geographic center of the town was located in a large marshy area, the residents were unable to agree on an alternative, and a state commission was appointed to choose the site of the common in 1785. The common and its immediate surrounding were dedicated to civic buildings and sites, including the town&#39;s first cemetery and animal pound, as well as the meeting house and an early school. An armory built on the common in the late 19th century was converted into a Grange hall. The common also has structures related to its conversion in the early 20th century to a public park, including a bandstand, fountain, and war memorial.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street area east of the common developed in the 19th century as a commercial and residential area for the town, with much of its development taking place in the first half of the 19th century. Almost all of the houses are vernacular Greek Revival or Federal in their styling. There are commercial buildings lining a portion of Main Street which are also predominantly vernacular mid-to-late 19th century in their construction.</p><br>
<p>The Harrington-Smith Block, formerly known as the Strand Theater and the Manchester Opera House, is a historic commercial building at 18-25 Hanover Street in the heart of Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1881 to a design by John T. Fanning for two prominent local developers, the building is an expansive rendition of Queen Anne styling in brick and stone. It housed the citys premier performance venue for many years, and was an early home of the influential Manchester Union Leader, the states major daily newspaper. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Harrington-Smith Block is located in downtown Manchester, occupying 200 ft of frontage on Hanover Street and 95 ft on Elm Street, the city&#39;s principal downtown thoroughfare. It has a central four-story main block, finished mainly in red brick. There are eight store fronts, articulated by brick piers rising the full height of the building. The central entrance, originally for the opera house, projects slightly, and there are secondary entrances between the first and second bays at each end. The storefronts are topped by pressed metal panels, and have recessed entrances flanked by display windows.</p><br>
<p>The building combined retail and commercial business activities with a large performing space (now demolished) in the rear. The building was an early home to the Manchester Union Leader, the states major daily newspaper. After the closure of most of the citys mills beginning in the 1930s, the upper floors of the building were converted to residential use. Major fires in 1985 resulted in the loss of the auditorium and significant damage to the rest of the building&#39;s interior. It was rehabilitated, and continues to house shops on the ground level and residences above.</p><br>
<p>The McCrary House  is a historic farm house near Huntsville in Madison County, Alabama. Founded after the initial federal land sale in Madison County in 1809, the farm has been in the McCrary family throughout. It was recognized as an Alabama Century & Heritage Farm in 1979, and reaffirmed on its 200th anniversary in 2009. Additionally, the house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas McCrary was born in Laurens County, South Carolina, in 1789, the son of a wealthy farmer. Though he had inherited 150 acres (61 ha) from his father, McCrary sold the land and moved to what is now North Alabama in 1809. He purchased 320 acres (130 ha) near other settlers from Laurens County. His farm grew to over 600 acres (240 ha) by 1833 and to a peak of 2,250 acres (900 ha) in 1850.</p><br>
<p>McCrary built a log cabin shortly after arriving on the property. He married the daughter of one of his neighbors in 1812, but she died in 1821. He remarried in 1823, and the next year built a two-story house with large halls on each floor. It was constructed of bricks handmade by slaves on the farm. McCrary also lent his brickmaking capacity to the construction of a new building for the nearby Enon Baptist Church; the church would move to Huntsville in 1861 and became the First Baptist Church of Huntsville. Around 1840 a two-story, partially sunken ell was added to the rear of the house, containing a dining room downstairs and sitting room upstairs.</p><br>
<p>McCrarys business interests extended beyond the farm. He acted as a cotton factor in Huntsville, and was also involved in tanning yards and groceries. McCrarys other investments included the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, which ran through Huntsville, and a turnpike which allowed easier transportation of goods to the Tennessee River. From 1856 to 1860 he was a member of the Madison County Commissioners Court.</p><br>
<p>After Thomas McCrarys death in 1865, the farm and house passed to his son, Williams. Between 1868 and 1870, at the behest of Williams wife, who did not like living in a two-story house, the family home was rebuilt, reusing bricks and interior trimwork from the original 1824 house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The current house is built with brick from the original 1824 house. The main portion is T-shaped with a cross-gable roof. A porch covers the main entrance, which opens into a small hall. The hall leads to two bedrooms and a parlor, which leads to another bedroom. A semi-enclosed louvered gallery running the length of the main house separates it from the Federal-style 1840 ell. Half a story above is a sitting room, and below is a dining room. In 1971 a "keeping room", functioning as an apartment and containing a kitchen, den, and bath, was built behind the ell on the site of an earlier kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The Hill–Lassonde House was a historic house at 269 Hanover Street in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1850, it was a well-preserved example of Italianate styling. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hill–Lassonde House was located east of downtown Manchester, on the south side of Hanover Street opposite Bronstein Park. It was a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof and Italianate styling. The roof eave was deep and studded with brackets. The main facade was three bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a portico supported by fluted square columns and pilasters, with brackets also found in its roof eave. A series of ells extended to the rear, and the property included a period carriage house with cupola. The interior had high-quality period woodwork, with some alterations dating to the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1850 for Alpheus Dwight Burgess, a machinist, on land he had purchased in 1847. The house was typical of houses built during this period, which was a boom time in the city, producing a large number of houses of this type. Burgess sold the house in 1855 to Varnum Hill, in whose family it remained at least into the 1980s. Ownership by a single family contributed to its state of preservation relative to similar houses nearby, which were often demolished or extensively altered. This house was demolished in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Hills House is a historic house museum at 211 Derry Road  in Hudson, New Hampshire. Built in 1890 as a summer country house by a local philanthropist, it is an excellent local example of Shingle style architecture. The house is now used by the local historical society as a museum and meeting space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hills House is located in northern Hudson, on the east side of Derry Road opposite Alvirne High School. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with a variety of roof lines, projections, porches, and a turret with conical roof. The main roof section is a steeply pitched hip roof, and the building exterior is finished in wooden shingles, with most windows set in rectangular openings. A front-facing gable is enlivened by a small narrow window, and there is an oval window on another front-facing wall. An eyebrow dormer adorns one of the front-facing roof faces.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably designed by Boston architect Hubert G. Ripley early in his career, and was built in 1890 as the summer home of Albert and Ida Verginia Hills. Albert Hills was a native of Hudson who practiced as a physician in New York City. The Hills named the property "Alvirne", after a combination of their first names. Hills bequeathed his property to the town for the construction of a high school; Alvirne High School stands on land that is part of this bequest. The Hillses also gave funds for the construction of Hills Memorial Library (also designed by Ripley), and the nearby Hills Memorial Chapel.</p><br>
<p>The Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds is located at 19 Temple Street in Nashua, one of the county seats of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. The two-story brick building was built in 1901 as a courthouse and county office building to a design by Boston architect Daniel H. Woodbury, and is a good example of Classical Revival architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The current courthouse is a modern building at 30 Spring Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds is located one block east of Main Street in downtown Nashua, on the south side of Temple Street at its junction with Court Street. It is a two-story brick building. It is trimmed with granite and cast stone, and has rusticated brickwork at its corners, and a cornice decorated with dentil and egg-and-dart moulding. The building exterior is largely unmodified except for the removal (sometime after 1946) of a small dome, and the addition to its rear of a wing housing additional offices.</p><br>
<p>Construction of a new courthouse in Nashua was authorized in 1901, after significant population growth in the region taxed the existing county&#39;s facilities. The county purchased land from Dr. Edward Spalding, and retained Daniel Howard Woodbury of the Boston firm Dean & Woodbury to design the new building. The building was completed in 1903, housing probate facilities and county offices on the ground floor, the main superior court chamber on the upper floor, and vaults and jail cells in the basement. The two-story wing in the rear was added in 1946. At the time of its National Register listing in 1985, it was still in used as a courthouse; that function and other county facilities have been relocated to a new building on Spring Street.</p><br>
<p>The Scotland Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Scotland, an unincorporated community in rural Union County, Arkansas. It is located about 3 mi west of Junction City, off US Route 167 south of the Scotland Presbyterian Church. The cemetery was formally established in 1861, but had been used as a burying ground since the first settlers arrived in the area in the 1840s. It is the only tangible remnant of the community&#39;s early days; the nearby church is the third to stand on the site. The earliest grave with a known date is 1842; the cemetery has more than 30 unmarked graves, including some that are probable graves of slaves.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, at which time it was still open for additional burials.</p><br>
<p>The Rialto Theatre is a historic performing venue at 117 East Cedar Street in downtown El Dorado, Arkansas. Built in 1929 during El Dorados oil boom years, the theater is one of the best local examples of Classical Revival architecture, and is one of the largest and most elaborately decorated performing spaces in southern Arkansas. It was designed by the local firm of Kolben, Hunter and Boyd, and seats 1400. Its main entrance has Egyptian Revival details, and is flanked by storefronts. The brick of the front facade is laid in a basketweave pattern, and is topped by a stone frieze, cornice, and parapet. The interior of the theater is elaborately decorated. The theater was owned for many years by the McWilliams family. It was closed from 1980 to 1987 and then reopened as a three-screen movie theater that operated until 2006. The main lobby and concessions area operated briefly as a bar called Marilyns. In 2012, it was purchased by the Murphy Arts District, who announced plans to restore it in phase two of its plans for revitalizing downtown El Dorado. The theater, which will have floor seating for 850 in addition to a full balcony, will host a variety of musical acts, plays, comedy shows, and movies.</p><br>
<p>Pantops Farm is a historic house at 400 Peter Jefferson Road near Charlottesville, Virginia. It consists of a Colonial Revival main house, a guest house, and a building resembling a silo in appearance. This complex was designed by Benjamin Charles Barker and built in 1937 for James Cheek, whose family made its fortune in Maxwell House coffee. Its buildings, in particular the guest house and silo, were designed to appear as if they were older buildings that had been repurposed. The property is a small remnant of an estate that was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is now owned by the University of Virginia; the main house now holds the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression and the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection. The property was given its name by Jefferson: pant-ops are Greek words meaning "all seeing", alluding to the property&#39;s expansive views of the surrounding countryside.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Newton House Museum, also known as the Matthew Rainey House, is a historic house museum at 510 North Jackson Street in El Dorado, Arkansas, United States. The house was built sometime between 1843 and 1853 by Matthew Rainey, El Dorado&#39;s first settler, and is the oldest building in the city. It is a vernacular two-story wood-frame structure with a central hall and rooms on either side. It stands at the edge of a 4 acre parcel, having been moved from its center in 1910.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and included in the Murphy-Hill Historic District in 2007. It is now owned by the South Arkansas Historical Foundation, which operates it as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Randolph James House is a historic house at 1212 North Madison Avenue in El Dorado, Arkansas. The two-story stuccoed house was designed by Mann & Stern, and was built in 1927 for Randolph James by his father George, a principal in the local Exchange Bank who benefited from the city&#39;s oil boom in the 1920s. The house is a fine local example of Spanish Mission Revival styling, with wrought iron balconies, tile roof, stucco walls, and varied windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Lord&#39;s Hill Historic District encompasses a historic village center in Effingham, New Hampshire. Located along New Hampshire Route 153 on a hill in northern Effingham, it is a well-preserved late 18th and early 19th-century rural village. It is named for Isaac Lord, a leading figure in its development in the early 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the village of Lords Hill was first settled in the 1770s, its hilltop position located along one of the areas range roads (laid out by surveyors). The village became locally prominent in the 1790s, when Isaac Lord built his large Federal-style house, and operated a tavern there. He was instrumental in securing the town&#39;s meeting house for the village, which promoted further growth. In 1822 the Effingham Union Academy opened; its building is now a historical society property. The village has seen relatively little alteration since the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district covers about 32 acre, extending from the junction of NH 153 with Plantation Road in the south (the latter a continuation of the historic range road) northward to another junction with Hobbs Road (also a continuation of the range road). It then extends for a short distance along both Hobbs Road and NH 153. At the southern junction is a triangular park around which houses and civic buildings, including the academy and church, are arrayed. The large and stylish house of Isaac Lord is set on the north side of NH 153 just east of the junction with Hobbs Road. Most of the district&#39;s 21 properties are residential properties; there are also five small cemeteries. The church was built by Isaac Lord in 1798, and extensively restyled in the 1840s to achieve its present Greek Revival appearance.</p><br>
<p>The Madison Corner School, District No. 1 is a historic one-room district schoolhouse, located on the grounds of the Madison Elementary School on New Hampshire Route 113 in Madison, New Hampshire. The school was built in 1835, and continues to exhibit Greek Revival characteristics despite alterations in 1873 and 1951. It was used as a school until 1950, has hosted town meetings, and has served as the local library. It is presently home to 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 Madison Corner School, District No. 1 is located in the village center of Madison, on the north side of NH 113, just west of the Madison Elementary School. It is a single-story wood-frame structure with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and granite foundation. The building corners have simple pilasters, rising to entablatures running along the building sides. Its main facade faces south, and has two symmetrically placed entrances, each framed by simple moulding and topped by four-light transom windows. The interior has two small vestibules, which open into the single classroom. The walls are finished in painted wood.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1835, and was originally located about 0.5 mi west of the present location. In early decades it was a frequent site of town meetings, owing to its central location. It was moved near its present location in 1873, at which time its window arrangements were altered to improve interior lighting. The building was converted for use as the town library in 1951, and was moved to its present location in 1980 to make way for an addition to the adjacent school building (now the Madison Elementary School). The building was used by the elementary school for music classes and a yearly week where third graders would do themed activities meant to emulate what students may have done during the school house&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>Bowen Park is a recreational area in Waukegan, Illinois, along Sheridan Road. It includes an old-growth forest and a ravine. The 60.07 acre park was laid out as a residential property in 1843. It was the home of John Charles Haines, a prominent Illinois politician, from 1857 to 1896. In 1911, the Hull House Association renamed it the Joseph T. Bowen Country Club and began using the property as a summer retreat. The land was purchased by the Waukegan Park District in 1963.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1843, politician James Montgomery built a house on a 72 acre lot of land near present-day Waukegan, Illinois, then known as Little Fort. At some point, the property was transferred to William Fay. In 1857, Fay sold the property to John Charles Haines, who used it as a summer residence. A member of the Chicago City Council, Haines was elected Mayor of Chicago the next year. He served two one-year terms and remained active in Illinois politics for the rest of his life, including a stint in the Illinois Senate. Haines built an addition to the house in the early 1870s. He died there on July 4, 1896. In 1909, the property was purchased by Fred W. Buck, the mayor of Waukegan, who intended to deed it to the city of Waukegan as a park. However, the city rejected the offering because it was too far from downtown.</p><br>
<p>The property was unused for two years. In 1911, Jane Addams started to look for a new summer camp for the children of Hull House, a settlement house in Chicago. Addams had previously rented land in Wisconsin and Michigan, but these campgrounds suffered from bad weather and a lack of maintenance. A realtor provided Addams with a list of three hundred potential camp properties, so she went on a trip with fellow Hull House administrator Louise DeKoven Bowen to visit sixty-seven candidates. Addams and Bowen purchased the land from Buck on December 11 after seeing the site. They renamed the land the Joseph Tilton Bowen Country Club after Bowen&#39;s recently deceased husband.</p><br>
<p>When the club opened the next year, Bowen had her personal gardener plan a formal gardens, baseball field, vegetable garden, orchard, tennis courts, playground, and croquet club. During the summer, Hull House children attended for two weeks, typically if they were involved in other Hull House activities. Children were asked to pay a nominal fee to help maintain the property and to give them a sense of responsibility. The Chicago and North Western Railway provided free transportation for the children throughout the club&#39;s history. Over 40,000 children attended the Bowen Country Club from 1912 to 1963. During the off-season, the club was used for conferences and other private uses.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, the Hull House Association sold the club to the Waukegan Park District for $360,000; the associated had found a new camp in East Troy, Wisconsin. A ground formed from the Waukegan Area Council of Church, Waukegan Area of the Lake County Welfare Council, and some other local churches were granted a license to use the park for $1,200 per year. The council was dissolved four years later and the Waukegan Park District assumed full operation of the property. In 1987, the park district completed the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, for the Waukegan Symphony Orchestra and Concert Chorus and the Bowen Park Theatre and Opera Company.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Corner Historic District encompasses a small village center in the town of Sandwich, New Hampshire. Lower Corner is a rural village that is strung along New Hampshire Route 109 on either side of its junction with School House Road, about one mile from the main village of Center Sandwich. The village was developed relatively early in Sandwich&#39;s history, although its oldest buildings now date to the early 19th century. There are 25 contributing structures, mostly residences. There are two buildings built as stores, including one of brick; all the other buildings are wood frame. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The town of Sandwich was first settled by Daniel Beede in the early 1770s, when he built a log cabin near Lower Corner. The village grew quickly, and was the site of Sandwichs first town meeting in 1772. By 1812 it was a prosperous country village, and was given the towns first post office. It was also the site of the town&#39;s first academy and congregational church, neither of which survive. The oldest buildings that survive date to the 1810s, and include a former tavern and a modest Cape style house. The Brick Store was built in 1845, and features ornate Italianate detailing, while the Wentworth Store, built in the 1830s, boasts more modest Greek Revival styling.</p><br>
<p>The Greek Revival is the most common form of architectural expression in the district. Two house have full high-style Greek temple fronts, with two-story columns supporting a full-pedimented gable. One of these, the William Weed house, was probably one of the fanciest houses in town at the time of its construction c. 1850. It was eclipsed, however, by Chestnut Manor, located at the top of the hill. Built by Isaac Adams, a local who made a fortune in Boston, Massachusetts, it stands out because of its prominent location and its three-story tower, which is topped by a pyramidal slate roof and globe finial.</p><br>
<p>The Moultonborough Town House is the former town hall of Moultonborough, New Hampshire. It is located on New Hampshire Route 25 in Moultonborough&#39;s main village, and is now home to the local historical society. It was built in 1834, and is one of the oldest town hall buildings in Carroll County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Moultonborough Town House is located on New Hampshire Route 25, a short way west of its junction with New Hampshire Route 109, in the village center. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation. The main facade has a double-leaf center entrance, with sash windows flanking, and in the gable end above. The windows and entrance are topped by shallow projecting cornices. At the building corners, simple cornerboards rise to a boxed cornice and frieze. A small single-story ell projects to the rear. The interior of the building has a single large chamber, finished in vertical bead-board wainscoting and horizontal bead board above. A small kitchen area is in one corner, and the ell provides restroom facilities.</p><br>
<p>The town house built in 1834, and served as town hall until 1949, when town meetings were moved to a school auditorium. It was converted for use by the Moultonborough Historical Society in 1960. Its original interior appearance is not known due to the lack of documentation attending alterations made 1857, 1884, and in 1916. The property also includes a former district schoolhouse, moved there in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Maysville Historic District is a historic district in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The district covers 451 acre and contains 1121 properties located southwest of downtown and directly south of the Leinkauf Historic District. Platted in 1871 in the midst of a recession in Mobile, the neighborhood did not begin to develop until the late 1890s. Maysville has long been a working class neighborhood; many late 1890s and early 1900s houses were bungalows and cottages, some with modest Victorian influences. Some larger and more decorated houses were built in the northeastern portion of the neighborhood. In the early 20th century and into World War I and World War II, the Port of Mobile and its shipyards became a focus of Mobile&#39;s economy, and the population grew in response. The early 20th century saw many craftsman-style bungalows and four square houses built. Minimalist Traditional and some ranch-style houses became popular around and after World War II. Notable contributing buildings in the district are Ladd–Peebles Stadium, built in 1948, and Williamson High School, built in 1965. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Eugene Field Park is a public park located along the North Branch of the Chicago River in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago. The park is named for author Eugene Field. The park was platted, designed and constructed between 1923 and 1930, with the Clarence Hatzfeld-designed field house completed in 1930 under the auspices of the Albany Park District. The Chicago Park District was consolidated in 1934 and took over Eugene Field Park. The park has seen numerous changes and improvements over the years. Eugene Field park has tennis courts, athletic fields, a playground, two bridges, and a 60-foot-tall light tower. The park and its historic features were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>1920s</h3><br>
<p>Eugene Field Park is located on 16 acres of land along the North Branch of the Chicago River in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Albany Park. The Albany Park District officially changed the park&#39;s name from Central Park to Eugene Field Park in November 1926.</p><br>
<h3>1930s and 1940s</h3><br>
<p>By 1930 nearly half of Albany Parks population was Jewish, about 23,000 people. Many Jewish organizations utilized Eugene Field Parks field house during the Depression years. Some of those groups include: Congregation Bnai Sholom, the Albany Park Hadassah, the Kimball Bryn Mawr Hebrew School, and the National Home for Jewish Children of Denver. Additionally, Christian groups used the facilities at the field house as well. Groups such as Ainsile Baptist Church, the Albany Park Presbyterian Church, and others used the field house throughout the 1930s. Other, non-religious, groups used the parks field house during this time too. For example, the 39th Ward Civic Club and Chicago Public Library; and the building was sometimes used by needy families trying to raise funds or by groups holding a benefit such as the Albany Park Employees Association.</p><br>
<p>The Albany Park District fell behind on its bills by 1932 and it became clear that the district, as an independent entity, was not going to survive the lean years of the Great Depression. It was during this time that the 60 foot tall light tower was erected near the tennis courts.</p><br>
<h3>2000s</h3><br>
<p>In 2001, Albany Park Theater Project, a youth theater ensemble that makes theater based on the stories of people from the Albany Park neighborhood, took residence at the park through the Chicago Park District&#39;s Arts Partners in Residence program. In 2008 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency undertook a two-week project that removed 1400 cubic feet of illegally dumped concrete, asphalt and shingles in a half-acre section of the park.</p><br>
<h3>2010s</h3><br>
<p>Beginning in April 2011 the USA Army Corps of Engineers undertook a project intended to restore the degraded river habitats.Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) is one of the largest North American hardwood trees, a native Chicago species classified under Elm-Ash-Cottonwood ecosystem riparian zones.</p><br>
<h3>Flooding</h3><br>
<p>The area around Eugene Field Park has been subject to flooding over the years; floods struck the area in 2008 and 2013.</p><br>
<p>The National Weather Service (NWS) maintains a river gauge east of the park along Albany Avenue, close to River Park.</p><br>
<p>The 2013 floods led Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to criticize a previous city plan to alleviate flooding by installing more marshland along the river.</p><br>
<h2>Facilities</h2><br>
<p>The park&#39;s tennis courts have been in the same location since c. 1925–1930. Historically, there were two playgrounds divided by an oval path; north of these areas were other recreation features, including a wading pool. During the 1950s the Chicago Park District renovated the playground area and added additional features including an open shelter, a sand court, wading pool and a basketball court. Between 1970 and 1980 the wading pool was converted into a spray feature. The playground equipment and area has had additional updates in the ensuing years.</p><br>
<p>North of the river is a more wide open landscape that features athletic fields used for soccer, football, baseball and softball. The park was one of 85 that the Chicago Park District highlighted in a 2008 brochure entitled "Nature in the City". The brochure noted Eugene Field Park for its access to the natural habitat of the "river&#39;s edge".</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Field House</h3><br>
<p>Clarence Hatzfeld designed the brick field house in 1928. It opened to the public in 1930 on a site south of the North Branch of the Chicago River. The building is designed in the Tudor Revival style and includes such stylistic elements as half-timbering, patterned brick and crenellated cornices.</p><br>
<p>The field house interior features terrazzo floors. In the auditorium are original light fixtures and the hallways feature decorative brackets.</p><br>
<p>Directly in front of the field house is a circular driveway that dates to the 1930s, possibly earlier. This circular driveway connects with Ridgeway Avenue. In the past there was a fountain in the grassy "island" in the middle of the driveway. No longer extant, the fountain has been replaced by ornamental trees and several large boulders.</p><br>
<h3>Landscape</h3><br>
<p>Henry J. Stockmans drafted the original plans for Eugene Field Park. In addition to designing the field house, Hatzfeld also contributed recommendations about the development of the park. Stockmans original plans no longer exist but in general his design philosophy followed the "naturalistic" tendencies of Jens Jensen. Jensen was superintendent of the West Chicago Parks Commission while Stockmans worked as foreman for that park districts landscape department during the early 1900s. Both men had worked together when they were among a group that advised the Horticultural Society of Chicago concerning the decor for their annual flower show.</p><br>
<h3>Light tower and footbridges</h3><br>
<p>Eugene Field Park features a 60-foot flood light tower. The light tower was installed in 1937 by the Chicago Park District to provide lighting to recreation facilities northwest of the field house and south of the river. The tower is still in use. Until the 1980s there was a flag pole and World War I memorial in the park to the west of the flood light tower. After it fell into disrepair the park district demolished the memorial.</p><br>
<p>There are two bridges within park boundaries. A footbridge over the Chicago River was designed by Hatzfeld in 1927 and opened in 1928. The original footbridge featured an arched wooden deck with metal support beams. Its original X-shaped rails were constructed from rough hewn lumber and at both the north and south ends of the bridge were covered shelters. When the Chicago Park District significantly rebuilt and altered the bridge in 1942, they kept the shelters intact. It is not known when the shelters were removed from the site. The park district undertook extensive reconstruction of the bridge again in 1995. While the original steel structure was maintained, the deck was replaced with asphalt and the railing replaced with chain link fencing.</p><br>
<p>The park&#39;s second bridge was constructed by the Chicago Park District in 2003. The historic hedge-lined double-oval pathway in the eastern part of the park was removed to make way for the new bridge. The new bridge, known as the Carmen Avenue Connector, joined a bicycle trail system that linked open spaces along the Chicago River, including River and Kiwanis Park east of Eugene Field and Gompers Park to the west.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The USA National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listed Eugene Field Park on August 8, 2006. The park is part of the NRHP Multiple Property Submission "Historic Resources of the Chicago Park District".</p><br>
<p>The Commonwealth Shoe and Leather Company is a historic factory complex at 7 Marble Street in Whitman, Massachusetts. The Commonwealth Shoe Company was formed in 1885 by the merger of Charles H. Jones & Co. and Bay State Shoe & Leather Co. The company produced the hugely popular Bostonian shoe, known for its high quality and comfort. The Whitman factory complex was its original site. In 1968, Commonwealth Shoe and Leather merged with Kayser-Roth, which later sold the Bostonian shoe brand to British shoemaker Clarks in 1979. Clarks still produces shoes under the Bostonian brand.</p><br>
<p>The factory complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Hoyt Shoe Factory is a historic factory complex at 470 Silver Street and 170 Lincoln Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. It consists of two once-identical four-story brick factory buildings which face each other across Silver Street. Built in the 1890s, they housed the city&#39;s largest shoe manufacturer, an industry that gained in significance as its textile industry declined. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Hoyt Shoe Factory complex is located about 1.5 mi southeast of downtown Manchester, on either side of Silver Street at its junction with Lincoln Street. Both are four stories in height, built out of brick. They are typical of Manchester&#39;s mill construction, with segmented-arch windows in a parade of bays on the long side. The northern building has large ells extending to its north, giving it a modified U shape, while the southern one has two smaller additions. A third building built for Hoyt stands further west, but is not included in the National Register listing because alterations made to it have compromised its historic integrity.</p><br>
<p>One of the two buildings was built in 1892, the other in 1895, and both have had additions made to them in the early 20th century. They were designed by industrial architect Augustus G. Stevens for Francis M. Hoyt, and, along with other nearby buildings, were the citys largest shoe manufactory. Located outside the citys main mill district, which was operated by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, shoe production gained in economic importance as the textile industry declined, and the Hoyt Company operated here until 1971. Much of the space was taken over by other manufacturing concerns after the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Hillsborough Railroad Bridge was a historic covered railroad bridge spanning the Contoocook River in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. Built in 1903 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, it was destroyed by arson in 1985. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. At the time of its nomination it was one of six covered railroad bridges in the state; it and at least one other  were destroyed by the actions of arsonists.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was located in the main village of Hillsborough, a short way west (upriver) of the road bridge carrying New Hampshire Route 149. The bridge was a two-span Town lattice truss span, mounted on granite abutments and a central wooden pier, the latter having replaced a granite pier washed away in 1938. It had a total length of 219 ft, with a gabled roof and exterior finished in vertical board siding. Although the bridge had two spans, the truss was a single element, running continuously across the central pier. Portions of the truss were reinforced by the placement of iron bolts, and there was a sidewalk cantilevered off one side.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1903 by the Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M), and was at least the second bridge on the site. The track leading to the bridge had been laid about 1878 by the Peterborough and Hillsborough Railroad Company, for service between Hillsborough and Peterborough. The company was not on good financial footing, and the line was soon taken over by the B&M.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was destroyed by a "fire of suspicious origin" that began around 11 p.m. on October 30, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Hillsborough Mills are a historic textile manufacturing complex at 37 Wilton Road in western Milford, New Hampshire, near its town line with Wilton. The oldest buildings of the brick mill complex were built in 1866 as a carpet-making operation. This business failed in 1874, but the complex was acquired by other textile interests, and eventual saw success producing carpet yarns, and blankets for horses and bedding. The mills were closed in 1970, and have since been adapted for other uses. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hillsborough Mills are located on about 13 acre of land, bounded on the south by Wilton Road (New Hampshire Route 101), North River Road, and the Souhegan River. The main building is a long rectangular three-story brick structure, with a projecting four-story tower near the center of its long facade. The buildings Italianate character is demonstrated by windows set in segmented-arch openings, bands of brick corbelling in the eave, and round-arch windows in the top floor of the tower. Smaller one and two-story brick additions were made to this buildings east end in the early 20th century. The building was historically powered by water delivered through a canal from a dam located in Wilton; the canal has been filled over, its function now replaced by an underground penstock that powers a hydroelectric facility in the mill basement. The dam was rebuilt in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The main mill was built in 1866 by the Pine Valley Company, and went into operation the same year. Its dam was breached by flooding in 1869 but rebuilt. The company did not do well financially, and failed in 1874. Its assets were acquired by the Hillsborough Mills Company. That company manufactured carpet wool and blankets, employing about 200 people, and survived until 1901, when it was closed due to increasing competition from higher-volume manufacturers elsewhere. The mill was purchased by a new group of investors, among them William Abbott. Abbott would ultimately run three different industrial operations in the Wilton-Milford area, and was a major economic force in the region, employing nearly 500 workers. The Abbotts closed the mill in 1970, and sold the building in 1979. It has since been adapted for multiple light industrial uses.</p><br>
<p>The House at 574 Bellefontaine St. is a historic house located at 574 Bellefontaine Street in Pasadena, California. Architect Sylvanus B. Marston of Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury designed the Swiss chalet style house, which was built in 1911 for developer G. Roscoe Thomas. The two-story house is built on a steep hill and has an L-shaped layout; the main entrance is located on the north side&#39;s second story. The front facade includes a large gable on the south side and a smaller one over the entrance porch; the larger gable features half-timbered woodwork. A stair tower at the back of the main corner has a pointed roof and an adjacent chimney stack. The north leg of the house has a second-story porch in the rear, while the west leg features arched windows and doors on the first floor and casement windows on the second.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Russell Hubbard House is a historic house at 220 Myrtle Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. The 2½-story wood-frame house was built in 1867, by a farmer turned businessman and a prosperous owner of a factory and lumberyard, and is an exceptionally elaborate Italianate villa. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Russell Hubbard House is located in a residential area northeast of downtown Manchester, on the north side of Myrtle Street and across Maple Street from Wagner Park. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with a complex roofline. It is notable for its four-story tower, with quoined corners and an open fourth level with round arch windows. It has the deep, bracketed eaves typical of the Italianate style, and irregular massing with many projecting sections. The interior of the house is a showcase of its original owner&#39;s lumber products, with high quality woodwork using a wide variety of woods, and fine marble fireplace surrounds.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1867 on an entire city block of land purchased by Thomas Russell Hubbard in 1864 from the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. Hubbard grew up on a farm, and was a self-made businessman producing wooden window sashes, doors, and window blinds, as well as operating a local lumber yard. When built, the house lot afforded fine views to west, over the Merrimack River to the nearby hills. A later owner of the house was David B. Varney, who served as mayor of Manchester in the 1890s. The house originally had a period carriage house, but that was demolished when the property was subdivided for further development.</p><br>
<p>The Kennedy Hill Farm is a historic farmstead on Kennedy Hill Road in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The property exhibits 150 years of agricultural history, with a well-crafted c. 1800 farmhouse built using regionally distinctive joinery skills. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kennedy Hill Farm is located in a rural setting in eastern Goffstown, on both sides of Kennedy Hill Road north of Addison Road. The property, now 9 acre in size, includes the main house, a barn, and a 19th-century shed. Most of the land is open fields; Kennedy Hill Road is lined by a row of mature maples. The main house, located on the west side of the road, is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The interior follows a central chimney plan, with parlors on either side. These rooms are richly decorated in Federal period wood carving that is stylistically distinctive to the region, with especially fine fireplace surrounds and window molding. The barn is located across the street.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built c. 1800 by Thomas Kennedy, a joiner. Kennedy was a well-known and successful builder in the area, who was responsible for the construction of several area public buildings, including churches and town halls. The interior of this Federal-style house retains many examples of his craft, which is rooted in a melding of traditions from New England&#39;s early settlers and those of Scottish Presbyterians who settled Londonderry early in the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The Killicut-Way House is a historic house at 2 Old House Lane  in Nashua, New Hampshire. Estimated to have been built c. 1740, this -story Cape style house is one of the oldest buildings in Nashua, and one of a small number of houses from that period in the region that is relatively unaltered. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Killicut-Way House is located in a residential subdivision south of the Everett Turnpike and east of East Dunstable Road in southern Nashua, at the very end of Tempo Drive. (Old House Lane appears to be a truncated roadway that formerly ran perpendicular to Tempo Drive.) The house is stories in height, with a timber frame, gabled roof, central chimney, and shingled exterior. The wooden shingles cover what appears to be the house&#39;s original exterior siding, variable width wooden planking. The main entrance is at the center of its three-bay facade, with an original vertical board door fastened by iron hinges. A four-light transom window separates the doorway from the eave. Windows are sash, set close to the eave on the front and back. The interior follows a typical central chimney plan, with a narrow entry vestibule, parlor spaces to either side of the chimney, and a long kitchen space behind it. Some of the rooms still have original wide floor boards, and the southwest parlor retains original carved paneling.</p><br>
<p>The houses exact construction date is not known. Long thought to have been built in the late 17th century or around 1700, its construction methods suggest a later date. If it was built by Killicut, it must date to no earlier than the 1740s, when Thomas Killicut, the first of the family to settle here, arrived. Killicut served in the French and Indian War as one of Rogers Rangers, and also in the American Revolutionary War. The house remained in the hands of Killicut descendants into the 20th century. It is one of two 18th-century houses in Nashua.</p><br>
<p>The Electric Building is an 18-story Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance styled building located in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. The building currently houses apartments with the ground floor used for retail stores.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction on the building began in December 1927. Architect Wyatt C. Hedrick was chosen to design the building. The building also housed the Texas Electric Service Company and the Hollywood Theater. In 1929 a six-story annex was constructed on an adjoining lot.</p><br>
<p>Interfirst Bank purchased the building in 1974. After closing the Hollywood Theater in 1976, it was remodeled as a banking facility.</p><br>
<p>The building was purchased by Robert Bass in 1984. In 1994 Bass converted the building into an apartment complex.</p><br>
<p>In 2009 it was purchased by Atlas Properties, and in 2016 Tradewind Properties of Houston purchased the building from Atlas.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register in 1995.</p><br>
<p>Lackawanna is a historic home at 236 Riverside Road in Front Royal, Warren County, Virginia. The -story brick house was built in 1869 for Dorastus Cone, a merchant who moved to the area from the Lackawanna River valley in Pennsylvania. The house has well-preserved Italianate features, including bracketed eaves and segmented-arch windows. Distinctive features that survive include top-floor windows whose sashes rise into the attic space, and a period bathroom.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014; it was designated a part of the Riverton Historic District in 2002. It is now operated as a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<p>The Carters Run Rural Historic District encompasses a large rural landscape in central northern Fauquier County. Covering some 4,400 acre, the district extends south from near Marshall southward along Carters Run Road, the only major paved road through the district. The district also includes properties accessible from Scotts Road  and on the east side of Free State Road . Land use has for more than 200 years been almost entirely agricultural; there are no villages or commercial centers. The main structures in the district are farmhouses and agricultural outbuildings; the district notably includes the previously-listed Waveland plantation.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Chief Shakes Historic Site is a historic collection of original and recreated Native Alaskan artifacts. It is located on Shakes Island, inside Wrangell Harbor, Wrangell City and Borough, Alaska. The most prominent feature of the site is a 1940 reconstruction of a Tlingit community house. This structure incorporates six original house posts, carved poles similar to totem poles. The house posts, four of which are from the community house of Chief Shakes, a line of like-named Tlingit clan leaders, are reported to be among the oldest known to survive. The house is surrounded by seven totem poles, two of which are original Tlingit work, and five of which are copies created by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps that also built the house.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Kimball Brothers Shoe Factory is a historic factory building at 335 Cypress Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. The four-story brick building was built in stages between 1885 and 1900, and was a prototypical structure from which the design of other period shoe factories in Manchester were built. Construction was overseen by Head & Dowst, a builder responsible for a number of area public buildings, including schools and prisons. It was funded by local businessmen seeking to diversify the local economy, and was leased to the Kimball Brothers, a leading shoe manufacturer in Lynn, Massachusetts. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kimball Brothers Shoe Factory is located about 1.5 mi east of downtown Manchester, in a predominantly residential area. It occupies a parcel bounded on three sides by Cypress and Massabesic streets and Woodman Avenue. It is a U-shaped four-story brick building with typical late 19th-century industrial styling. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings, and the building is crowned by a modest corbelled cornice. The building exhibits a unified style despite three different major building phases. Its interior has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion, the Cypress Street elevation, was built in 1885, at a time when shoemaking was a cottage industry in the city, and textile mills were its major business. A consortium of local businessmen organized the Manchester Shoe Manufacturing Company in that year in a bid to diversify the city&#39;s economic base. The building was immediately leased to Kimball Manufacturing of Lynn, and was enlarged in 1890 and 1900. The Kimballs had been in business since 1878, and moved the bulk of their production to Manchester after a fire destroyed their Lynn plant in 1889. They operated on the premises until 1929, and it remained in use for shoe manufacturing until 1970. The building served as a prototype for the construction of other shoe factories in the area, including the Hoyt Shoe Factory.</p><br>
<p>The McClure-Hilton House is a historic house at 16 Tinker Road in Merrimack, New Hampshire. The oldest portion of this -story Cape style house was built c. 1741, and is one of the oldest surviving houses in the area. It was owned by the same family for over 200 years, and its interior includes stencilwork that may have been made by Moses Eaton Jr., an itinerant artist of the 19th century. The property also includes a barn, located on the other side of Tinker Road, which is of great antiquity. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The McClure-Hilton House is located in a rural-suburban setting in southern Merrimack, on 1.8 acre bisected by Tinker Road south of Camp Sargent Road. The property includes the main house, located on the east side of the road, and a barn, set on the west side of the road. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. A gabled ell extends to the right. The main facade is five bays wide, with slightly asymmetrical placement of paired sash windows on either side of a nearly-centered entrance. The entrance is topped by a four-light transom window, and sheltered by a portico with a low-pitch gable roof. The interior follows a central chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule, parlor and hall chambers on either side of the chimney, and a long kitchen in the back, with small chambers in the rear corners. The front rooms have original plaster above broad horizontal wainscoting; the hall on the left is notable for the stencilwork applied to the plaster. The parlor is plainer, but retains an original builtin cabinet.</p><br>
<p>The exact construction date of the house is unknown. According to family lore, it was built in 1722, but this is at odds with town history, which places all settlement after the towns early proprietors made a land division in 1733, and William McClures first land purchase in 1741. Stylistic evidence suggests the house was built about 1740. The house remained in the hands of McClure&#39;s descendants until 1942. The stencilwork in the hall is believed to have been executed by either Moses Eaton Sr. or Moses Eaton Jr., regionally prominent artists active from the late 18th to late 19th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The City Hall of Manchester, New Hampshire, is located at 908 Elm Street, the city&#39;s principal commercial thoroughfare. The brick-and-granite three-story structure was built in 1844-45 to a design by Boston architect Edward Shaw, and is a prominent early example of the Gothic Revival style in a civic building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Manchester&#39;s City Hall is the second building of that name, the first having been built on the same site in 1841, and burned in 1844. It is prominently set in the middle of the downtown, on the west side of Elm Street at its junction with Hanover Street. It is three stories in height, built out of brick with granite trim. It presents a five-bay facade to Elm Street and a three-bay facade to Market Street (now closed off as City Hall Plaza). The center of the three-bay facade projects slightly and rises in a tower two more stories above the building. The bays of the building and its corners are articulated by false buttresses, which rise to squat octagonal columns above the roof edge. Each bay has several narrow Gothic windows rising through the second and third floors. The tower has a clock with multiple faces on its main stage above the roof, which is ringed by a crenellated balustrade and octagonal columns. The top stage consists of an open lantern structure with Gothic openings and pinnacles.</p><br>
<p>The hall was designed by Edward Shaw, a New Hampshire-born architect based in Boston, Massachusetts. Shaw is best known for a number of publications for builders, some of which received wide circulation. When first built, the Elm Street facade was taken up by retail space on the ground floor (in a style emulating the previous city hall which stood on the site), with city offices above; the main entrance was then through the base of the tower. In 1895 the city took over the entire ground floor, moving the main entry to the center bay on Elm Street. The building entrance has since been relocated back to the tower.</p><br>

<p>Beckers Block is a group of historic commercial buildings in Huntsville, Alabama. The two-story, five-bay structure was built in 1925. Each bay is separated by piers that project above the roofline. The center of each bay is raised above the parapet, creating a crenelated appearance. Below the parapet, a rectangular panel is formed from header courses. Cream-colored square stones decorate the entire façade.</p><br>
<p>The two southern bays were built for a J. C. Penney store, and feature display windows on either side of a recessed entryway. A panel of glass block stretches above the entryway. The northern three bays have single-pane windows flush with the façade with recessed doors. A row of four-by-two paned windows, mostly in pairs and once in a triplet, stretch above the three bays.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The James H. Bibb House is a historic residence in Madison, Alabama. Bibb was an early landholder in Madison, one of the main proponents of its incorporation in 1869, and distant relative of Alabama&#39;s first two governors, William Wyatt Bibb and Thomas Bibb. In 1866, Bibb purchased 300 acres  west of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad depot, farming corn and cotton himself on half of it and renting out the other half. He also owned a mercantile business and a steam-powered grist mill in the small town.</p><br>
<p>Bibb&#39;s house was built in 1867 in a simple Greek Revival style; this is in contrast to most contemporary houses in Madison, which were built in more current Victorian styles. The house is 50 feet (15 m) square with a pyramidal hip roof and is covered with poplar clapboards. A partial-hip roof porch, supported by six square columns, stretches across the entire front of the house. The main entrance is flanked by single-pane sidelights and topped with a twin-pane transom.

<p>The Milford Cotton and Woolen Manufacturing Company is a historic mill complex at 2 Bridge Street in the center of Milford, New Hampshire. Developed between 1813 and World War I, it is one of the few surviving mill complexes in Milford, whose name is derived in part from "mill". The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The complex has been converted into residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Milford Cotton and Woolen Manufacturing Company complex is located just north of the Milford Oval, on the southern bank of the Souhegan River, the historic source of its power. It consists of a single large building which developed in an evolutionary way between 1813, when its oldest part was built, and 1916, when the last major modifications were made. The mill occupies a site on the banks of the Souhegan River, which provided its power. The core of the structure is a three-story wooden building, which was the first part built. This was extended and enlarged in 1860 and 1883, and the brick end sections were added by later additions.</p><br>
<p>The mill was founded about 1813, producing fabric during the War of 1812. It closed in 1833, and was reopened under new ownership in 1838. At that time, it was enlarged and possibly rebuilt entirely. Its largest period of growth came after its acquisition in 1860 by Morse, Kaley & Company, who built its largest elements. The complex was sold to the American Thread Company in 1901, and sold in 1916. During World War I it produced fabric for lining military uniforms. It is one of the city&#39;s few surviving 19th-century industrial complexes.</p><br>
<p>The Milford Town House and Library Annex, now just the Milford Town Hall, is a historic municipal building occupying a prominent position facing the central oval in Milford, New Hampshire. It was built in 1869-70 and enlarged in 1891, and was designed by renowned architect Gridley J. F. Bryant. It is a significant local example of Italianate and Second Empire architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Milford Town Hall is located in the heart of Milford, on the east side of its central oval. The town house portion, which presents the main facade to the oval, was built in 1869, and is a two-story structure built of brick with granite trim. It was designed by Bryant & Rogers of Boston, and is stylistically similar to Gridley J. F. Bryants other municipal and civic works of the period. The Italianate structure has a bell tower in which is a Paul Revere bell cast in 1802, which was hung in Milfords first town hall. The library annex was added to the rear of the building (along Nashua Street) in 1891, extending the south facade of the building from nine to twelve bays. Lowell architect Frederick W. Stickney built it using a different type of brick, but stylistic elements tie it to the original structure.</p><br>
<p>The Nashua Street facade originally housed commercial spaces on the ground floor, but the spaces were gradually taken over by municipal offices. The upper floor was originally built to serve as a space for the local Masonic lodge, but most of its trappings and finishes were removed after that use ended in 1939. Although the annex was designed primarily to house the town library, its basement was first used to house the fire department, and more recently housed emergency ambulance services. The library occupied the facilities until a new library was built across the street in 1951.</p><br>
<p>The New Hampshire State Union Armory is a historic armory building at 60 Pleasant Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1904, this large brick building was the first armory building in the state, and is a distinct example of Romanesque architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The New Hampshire State Union Armory is located in downtown Manchester, on the south side of Pleasant Street roughly midway between Elm and Canal Streets. The brick building has two portions: a head house (which faces Pleasant Street), and a drill hall, located behind the head house and extending to West Central Street. It has a fortress-like main entrance, in a projecting section from its main facade that rises two stories and is framed by massive brick pilasters. The drill hall is nominally two stories in height, with a gabled roof, but its basement is fully exposed on the south side due to sloping terrain. A large granite arched entrance provides access to the basement level on that side. One unusual feature of the drill hall is that it has unique supports that can be swung into place to provided added strength to the flooring of the main hall, for use during drill exercises.</p><br>
<p>The armory was built in 1904 to a design by Alfred A. Collins. It was the state&#39;s first armory building, built as part of an effort to centralize and better manage the state militia. It was the first place where all of the principal functions of the militia could be conducted, and equipment could be properly stored.</p><br>
<p>The Rice House is a historic house at 501 NW "A" Street in Bentonville, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure with elaborate Eastlake  styling. Characteristics of the style include jigsaw-cut bracketing, spindled balustrades, and molded panels under the windows. At the time of its construction in 1890, it was considered one of Bentonville&#39;s grandest houses. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Once the dream of Charles A. Rice, this home became a reality in 1891 when it was erected. Built to be the family home, Rice spared no expense to make this home a work of art. The floor plan is that of "dog trot" design, being that doors and windows were positioned directly across from each other on all sides of the house. This allowed for natural air flow to cool house in the hot Arkansas summers. Transoms were placed above each interior door, as found in larger buildings of the time, to allow hot air to rise and be moved through rooms and up to second floor, where the hot air would be sucked out in a natural ventilation process. Ornate hand carved wood art, extensive floor, door and window moldings, as well as impressive plaster work was incorporated into the design. Soon into the building process, Rice scaled down the size of the home from its original blue print. This was done to save on costs and provide for the impressive living areas.</p><br>

The street level of the two-story brick building has three single-pane windows on either side of a recessed entry. A row of similar windows runs above the street level, separated by a row of rectangular panels. Above the storefront level sits a panel of soldier course bricks, with decorative terra cotta floral blocks on the corners. The same blocks are used on the top corners of the surrounds for five windows above. The frieze is terra cotta, with a series of narrow flutes above a decorative bed-mould chain. The cornice features a geometric X-pattern with small dentils on each block. The terra cotta detailing exhibits Art Deco influence, popular at the time the building was constructed. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

<p>The Cox Building is a historic building located in Maysville, Kentucky, United States. Brothers George L. and William Hopkinson Cox began construction of the Richardsonian Romanesque structure at Third and Market Streets in 1886 and completed construction the following year. The project also included the construction of seven contiguous brick homes extending south along the east side of Market Street to Fourth Street.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed to accommodate three large storefronts on the ground floor with associated second-story storerooms for each. The remainder of the second floor was originally designed as an upscale professional office space for up to nine tenants. In practice, the nine offices were often joined into larger office suites and were later converted into apartments. The upper three stories of the Cox Building were designed explicitly for use as a Masonic Temple, specifically for the York Rite "Knights Templar".</p><br>
<p>The City of Maysville purchased the building in 2006 for $200,000 as a restoration project. The roof, fourth and fifth floors were destroyed by fire on November 9, 2010. Restoration work continued and the completed work was dedicated at 11:00 am on September 7, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Arkansas Highway 57 Bridge is a Warren pony truss bridge in Stephens, Arkansas. It carries an old alignment of Arkansas Highway 57 over a branch of the Union Pacific Railroad near the city center. The bridge is now closed to traffic; the road on which it is located is now called Ruby Street. The bridge is distinctive in Arkansas for two reasons: first, it was the last bridge of its type on a state highway, and it has a pedestrian sidewalk on the outside of the trusses. It is unknown who built the trusses; the bridge was built in 1928.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
