<p>The Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina Historic District is 10.1 acre historic district along the western boundary of the campus of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina. The area includes five historical Colonial Revival, Classical Revival style buildings. Some significant structures are among those located within the Historic District include the James B. Dudley Memorial Building and Harrison Auditorium. The district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 20, 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The history of the Agricultural and Technical College Historical District can be traced back to the passing of the Second Morrill Act of 1890. Signed into law August 30, 1890, and aimed mainly at the confederate states, the act required that each state show that race was not an admissions criterion, or else to designate a separate land-grant institution for persons of color. In order to comply with the Morrill Act, and yet prevent admission of African Americans to the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, now known as North Carolina State University, the college&#39;s board of trustees were empowered to make temporary arrangements for students of color. By an act of the General Assembly of North Carolina, the Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race was established on March 9, 1891, as an annex to nearby Shaw University in Raleigh. The college continued to operate in Raleigh until the Board of Trustees voted, in 1892, to relocate the college to Greensboro on 14 acre of land donated by local citizens.</p><br>
<p>Today, with an enrollment of over 10,000 students, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is the largest publicly funded historically black university in the state of North Carolina. The universitys College of Engineering has consistently ranked first in the nation for the number of degrees awarded to African Americans at the undergraduate level, and is a leading producer of African-American engineers with masters and doctorate degrees. The university is also a leading producer of African-American psychology undergraduates, minority certified public accountants, landscape architects, veterinarians, and agricultural graduates.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing sites and buildings</h2><br>
<p>The irregularly shaped historic District is bounded by the eastern side of Dudley Street as its western boundary, stretching eastward between Bluford Street and Authur Headen Drive; and Nocho street as its eastern boundary. The district also includes an elliptical paved driveway, which served as the traditional main entrance to the university, and a 1.5 acre grassy lawn which provides a 300 yard deep buffer and setback from the Dudley Street to the districts buildings. The five contributing buildings of the district are composed of the universitys oldest surviving and virtually unaltered buildings and form the historic core of the Greensboro campus. Built between 1922 and 1939, the buildings are a mixture of Colonial Revival and Classical Revival architecture. Significant buildings within the district include Noble, Morrison, and Murphy Halls; Richard B. Harrison Auditorium; and the James B. Dudley Memorial Building.</p><br>
<h3>Noble Hall</h3><br>
<p>Built in 1923, and named for Marcus C.S. Noble, longtime Chairman of the universitys board of trustees; Noble Hall is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the district. The building originally housed the colleges schools of Agriculture and Home Economics on the first floor; the departments of Biology and Chemistry on the top level; with the Dairy Science laboratory located in the basement. Noble Hall Currently houses the universitys School of Nursing. The three-story symmetrical rectangular building, with full basement, features 20,672 square feet of office and classroom space. With the exception of metal-trimmed plate glass entrance doors, the buildings exterior has been virtually unaltered.

Each window pair is accented with a center (white stone) keystone. Slightly recessed corbelled panels, ornamented by herringbone brickwork and a center, diamond-shaped white stone, stretch above the second story windows. This type of brickwork is reminiscent of early twentieth-century North Carolina commercial buildings. Noble Halls interior has been mostly unchanged as well, as the building still retains its original plaster walls, molded door and window surrounds.</p><br>
<h3>Morrison Hall</h3><br>
<p>Built in 1924, and designed by North Carolina architect Charles C. Hartmann, Morrison Hall was named for Cameron A. Morrison, former Governor of North Carolina. Placed along university circle, and located south of Noble Hall, and adjacent to the Dudley Building; Morrison Hall was constructed to be nearly identical to that of Noble hall, with the exception of its rusticated stone that surrounds the building&#39;s main entrance, as opposed to the brick used on Noble. Another distinctive feature of the building is the carved and incised stone name panel above the non-functional balcony that extends to surround the center third story windows, in addition to retaining its original double-leaf main entrance door. Today, Morrison Hall still serves its original purpose as a residence hall, housing 109 students.</p><br>
<h3>Murphy Hall</h3><br>
<p>Built in 1924, Murphy Hall originally served as the universitys first cafeteria. Today, the building houses the universitys office of student affairs. The symmetrical building features a projecting, pedimented three-bay entrance pavilion with rusticated brick and a full- height arched rusticated brick door surround. The pavilion is also ornamented with four full-height brick pilasters with stone capitals and bases, stone panels carved with an urn and garland motif, a full entablature with bullseyes and inscribed building name, and a multi-pane ocular window in the pediment. The 22,002-square-foot, single-story building underwent remodeling in 1977. The original arched wooden sash windows were removed then and replaced with twenty-pane windows with aluminum muntins; in addition, ribbed metal awnings were installed at the main and side entrances. The interior was also remodeled and the original high-ceilinged dining area was divided into two floors; an open string staircase with metal railings and a passenger elevator were installed to give access to the mezzanine-level offices.</p><br>
<h3>James B. Dudley Memorial Building</h3><br>
<p>Built in 1930, and considered the architectural centerpiece of the district, the neoclassical building is named for the universitys second president Dr. James B. Dudley. The Dudley Building was designed by noted North Carolina architect Charles C. Hartmann, this building was erected on the site of the former Administrative building, which was built in 1893 and destroyed by fire in 1930. The building originally housed the colleges administrative offices, in addition to an auditorium and library on the main and top levels respectively. The 29,058 square foot building features 2 floors in addition to a fully raised basement level. A distinctive feature of this building is its use of stone. This building features more stone application than any other building on the universitys campus. The building also features a broad sweep of fifteen steeps to the main entrance, smooth-face blocks defining a five-bay entrance, intricately carved lintels and acroteria, full classical entablature, splayed arches with keystones over the eight-over-twelve sash windows, and a hexastyle portico with an incised frieze. The buildings interior remains unaltered as the original plaster walls and molded door and window surrounds still remain. The exterior of the building has been virtually unchanged with the exception of the entrance doors, which are now made of double-leaf metal trimmed plate glass.</p><br>
<h3>Richard B. Harrison Auditorium</h3><br>
<p>Built in 1939, and named for renowned actor Richard B. Harrison, who taught Drama and directed productions at the college; Harrison Auditorium was designed by architect Leon McMinn. The auditorium was constructed by the Public Works Administration for usage as the colleges main auditorium. The flat-roofed two-story building features seven-bay main entrance with the bays defined by plain brick pilasters with simply molded stone bases and capitals. Extending above the pilasters is a plain stone frieze inscribed with the auditoriums name. Five pairs of glass-and-wood doors topped by five-light transoms give access to the lobby. Above each entry door at the second-story level are large twelve-over-twelve sash windows. The roof line steps up at the rear of the lobby/entrance portion of the building to provide additional height to the main, large auditorium portion of the building. In 2004, the building underwent a two-year renovation process that involved both the interior and exterior of the building. The nearly $3 million renovation repaired the building&#39;s exterior surfaces, upgraded building systems, replaced seating, and made the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The area that encompasses the historical district served as the oldest surviving structures on what is now North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, the first and largest public land grant institution of higher learning for people of color in the state of North Carolina. The buildings that make up the historical district were erected as the university was phasing out its college preparatory department and beginning to focus on college level work to prepare graduates for careers and graduate and professional schools. Additionally, these buildings are representative of the universitys second and third major building campaigns, which at the time the funding was the largest sum ever appropriated for African American education in the south. The Classical revival and Colonial Revival style architecture were popular among academic buildings of the early twentieth century and can be seen in other regional universities such as Duke University and North Carolina Central University, two liberal arts universities located in Durham, North Carolina. The architecture within the district not only displays the work of unknown skilled designers, masons, and Charles C.

The large Queen Anne Victorian is significant as one of few known residential works of a prolific New Hampshire architect, William M. Butterfield, and as the home of John Butler Smith, a principal owner of the local Contoocook Mills, who also served as governor of New Hampshire . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Governor John Butler Smith House is located in the village center of Hillsborough, on the east side of School Street north of Myrtle Street. It is a rambling Victorian -story wood-frame structure, clad in brick with granite trim on the ground floor, and wooden clapboards and shingles on the upper levels. Dominant features include a circular turret with pyramidal roof at the right front corner, a large projecting gable on the left side, and a single-story porch across much of the front, supported by clustered columns. The interior, like the exterior, is lavishly appointed with woodwork. The property also includes a carriage house built in 1892.</p><br>
<p>This house began as a two-story Italianate structure built in 1866, which was extended with a mansard roof in 1885. Smith hired Butterfield to make major modifications in 1892, rotating the 1866 house and moving it back on the lot, and then adding the front section of the house, more than doubling its size. Smith&#39;s heirs donated the building to the town of Hillsborough, which has converted into town offices, library, and a community meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The Smyth Tower is a folly located on the grounds of the Manchester VA Medical Center at 718 Smyth Road in Manchester, New Hampshire. The fieldstone tower was built in 1888 by Frederick Smyth, and is the only surviving architectural structure related to his life. Smyth served as Governor of New Hampshire in 1865-67, and was an active promoter of veterans&#39; issues in the post-Civil War period. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Smyth Tower is located in eastern Manchester, on the west side of the Manchester VA facility on the north side of Smyth Road. The tower is 40 ft high, with walls 2 ft thick, built out of locally gathered fieldstone. Its outside diameter is 28 ft. It has a basement level 8 ft high, and three floors topped by a crenellated parapet.</p><br>
<p>The tower was built in 1888 by Frederick Smyth. Smyth owned an extensive estate, part of which became the VA facility. Smyth built it as a replica of a tower he saw while visiting Scotland, and located on land that was among the earliest of his purchases in Manchester. Smyths country house "The Willows", built near the Amoskeag Falls, no longer stands. During his tenure as governor, Smyth promoted the establishment of soldiers homes for returning Civil War veterans, and established what is now the University of New Hampshire. The tower was given to the city by Smyth&#39;s widow in 1938. During late 1938 and early 1939, it was renovated by WPA workers for use as an amateur radio station to provide emergency radio communication capability for the city. The call sign of the station was W1LVK. During World War II, it continued to house radio communication facilities. During early construction of the VA facility, it was used as an engineering office. It was slated for demolition by the VA, and was rescued from demolition at the last minute by appeals from the family.</p><br>
<p>Stark Park is a city park located on the north side of Manchester, New Hampshire. It is a 30 acre parcel of land between River Road and the Merrimack River, which was once part of the larger farm property of American Revolutionary War hero John Stark. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2006,</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The centerpieces of the park are the Stark Burial Ground, where Stark and some of his family are interred, and the 1948 bronze equestrian statue of Stark made by sculptor Richard Henry Recchia. The park was formally opened in 1893, making it one of the city&#39;s oldest parks (only Derryfield Park is older). It was originally designed as a typical Victorian-era park, with winding lanes, and a mix of woodlands, lawns, and gardens. A colonnade of elm trees originally lined the three land borders of the park, but were lost to Dutch Elm disease in the 20th century. Some of its paths and vistas have also become overgrown since the park was established.</p><br>
<p>The Stark family originally owned about 800 acre of land in what is now northern Manchester. John Stark was buried here after his death in 1822, and the family erected a memorial obelisk in 1829. Stark&#39;s great-grandchildren deeded a 2 acre area surrounding the family cemetery to the city in 1876. Public interest for a larger park memorializing Stark took place in the 1880s, and the family gave another 28 acre to the city in 1891. The initial design of the park was made by Morton & Quimby, landscape architects from Boston, Massachusetts, and it was formally dedicated on June 17, 1893.</p><br>
<p>The Bulfinch Building of the Massachusetts General Hospital is located on the hospital&#39;s main campus on Fruit Street in the West End of Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by architect Charles Bulfinch, and built between 1818 and 1823, with a major expansion in 1844-46. A National Historic Landmark, it is an excellent example of Classical Revival architecture, and a rare surviving example of an early 19th-century public hospital building. The building is home to the Ether Dome, an operating theater which has been separately designated a National Historic Landmark as the site of the first public demonstration of the use of ether as an anesthetic.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bulfinch Building is a rectangular structure, two stories in height, with a massive Ionic portico at the center of its longer facade. The building is built out of white granite from Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and stands on a basement of rusticated granite. It has a hipped roof, and the central portion has a square attic story with chimneys at the corners and a saucer-shaped dome in the center. The interior has undergone extensive and repeated renovations, as the hospital&#39;s needs for the space have changed.</p><br>
<p>As designed by Charles Bulfinch in 1817 and built over the next five years by Alexander Parris, the building had smaller wings (roughly half the present size), and had a capacity of 73 beds. The stonework for its construction was largely done by the inmates at the Charlestown Prison. The building&#39;s capacity was nearly doubled in 1844-46 by the addition of five bays to each of the wings, and the original entrance hall designed by Bulfinch was extensively altered.</p><br>
<p>Bulfinch&#39;s design, with an operating amphitheater under the dome, was probably based on that in the Pennsylvania Hospital building, which he probably saw on a visit in 1816. That amphitheater, now known as the Ether Dome, is where the first public demonstration of the use of ether as an anesthetic took place on October 16, 1846. The amphitheater was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965 in recognition of this event. The entire building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and designated a National Historic Landmark, in 1970, as an excellent example of Classical Revival architecture, and as one of the oldest public hospital buildings in the nation.</p><br>
<p>Over the years, the building has become surrounded by the much larger modern facilities of the hospital.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Parish Historic District encompasses the oldest church building in Truro, Massachusetts and adjacent historic resources. The congregation was established in 1711, and is now occupying its third church, a Federal/Greek Revival building erected in 1827. The tower houses a bell cast by Paul Revere. Adjacent to the church and part of its setting is the Congregational Cemetery, whose earliest recorded burial is in 1810, and has been associated with the church since its construction. The cemetery contains a memorial erected in 1841, commemorating the loss of 57 Truro residents and seven ships in a gale on October 3. 1841.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Moores Corner Historic District of Leverett, Massachusetts, encompasses the historic rural mill village of Moores Corner. Centered on the intersection of North Leverett Road with Dudleyville Road, Church Hill Road, and Rattlesnake Gutter Road, it includes 15 houses and several other buildings, mainly from the village&#39;s mid-19th century peak as a modest rural village center. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Moores Corner is located in northeastern Leverett, a rural community in eastern Franklin County. The village is centered at North Leverett and Dudleyville Roads, but has widely spaced buildings beyond a small central core, extending along those two roads as well as Rattlesnake Gutter Road and Church Hill Road. It includes predominantly residential buildings that were built during the height of the areas industrial activity between the 1840s and 1860s. The architecture is mainly Federal and Greek Revival in style, although the Moores Corner Church, built in 1896, is Queen Anne in style. One of the most distinctive houses is that of Jonah Hunt at 8 Dudleyville Road, which is Leveretts only temple-front Greek Revival house. The district also includes historical archaeological remnants, including a former mill site on the Sawmill River, and a house foundation.</p><br>
<p>Leverett was part of a large area that was originally part of Sunderland, settled in the 17th century. Sunderlands border was extended eastward in 1729, and then its eastern section was separated as Leverett in 1774. Moores Corner was settled in the 1790s by Asa Moore, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, who established a sawmill in this area soon afterward. Moores c. 1790 house, located at 197 North Leverett Road, is the oldest house in the district. A mill erected by Asas brother Alven in 1793 survives on Dudleytown Road. In 1810, the growing village built a brick schoolhouse (230 North Leverett Road), which also served as a meeting house for the local Universalist congregation. The village cemetery, on Rattlesnake Gutter Road, was established about the same time, on land given by Asa Moore. More woodworking mills were built in the mid-19th century, including one that manufactured wooden shingles; the buildings have not survived, but its foundations remain on the banks of the Sawmill River.</p><br>
<p>The Fayette National Bank Building, also known as the First National Bank Building or 21C Museum Hotel Lexington, is a historic 15-story high-rise in Lexington, Kentucky. The building was designed by the prominent architecture firm McKim, Mead & White and built by the George A. Fuller Company from 1913 to 1914. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 2016 the building was converted into a 21c Museum Hotel. The building was reconfigured into 88 hotel rooms, a restaurant and museum space. Renovations were expected to cost in excess of $43 million. The hotel opened in December 2016. It was then inducted into, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. George Stark House is a historic house at 22 Concord Street in Nashua, New Hampshire. Built in 1856, is one New Hampshire&#39;s finest Italianate houses. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The General George Stark House is located north of downtown Nashua, on the west side of Concord Street, just north of a triangular grassy area formed by its junction with Manchester Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, covered by a low-pitch gabled and hipped roof with elongated eaves supported by brackets. It has an irregular plan, with a three-story square tower rising over its entrance, which is set in an arched opening. The main block is finished in flushboarding, while an ell extending west behind the tower is clapboarded. A single-story hip-roofed porch extends across its street-facing eastern facade, with arched openings and a dentillated and bracketed cornice.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by George Stark, a Manchester native and civil engineer who worked on railroad projects across northern New England. He became superintendent of the Nashua and Lowell Railroad in 1857. Design inspiration for the house came from Andrew Jackson Downing&#39;s works. The house was used for many years of the 20th century by the local congregation of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Despite this conversion of use, the interior retains many original finishes, including builtin bookcases with glazed doors.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. John Stark House is a historic house museum at 2000 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. The house, a single-story Cape style farmhouse, was built in 1736 by Archibald Stark. Stark&#39;s son John, a hero of the American Revolutionary War, lived in this house from 1736 to 1765; it is where he brought his new bride Molly, and where two of their children were born. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is now operated as a museum by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The General John Stark House is located north of downtown Manchester, at the southwest corner of Elm and Waldo Streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. A single-story ell extends to the rear, giving the house an overall L shape. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a multilight transom window, and nine-over-six windows in the flanking bays. The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule and parlors on either side of the chimney. The kitchen extends across much of the back, with small chambers in the corners, with the stairway to the attic in the northwest corner.</p><br>
<p>The house was built on the 800 acre farm of Archibald Stark in 1736, and is where his family was raised. Originally located on Canal Street, the house remained in the Stark family until 1821. It was acquired by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in 1835, and used for worker housing. In 1937 the company donated the building to the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which restored the property and adapted it for use as a meeting site. It was moved to its present site, which is also part of the Stark farm, in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The Mechanicsville Historic District encompasses a small and cohesive working-class neighborhood west of downtown Danville, Virginia. The district is bounded by Upper Street on the northwest; North Floyd Street on the northeast; High Street on the southeast; and North Ridge Street on the southwest. This area was developed beginning roughly in 1880 as a residential district catering to workers in the nearby tobacco-processing facilities. The houses in the district are in a blend of styles, but are characterized by similar lot sizes and setbacks. The district includes two churches, and a building that originally served as a tobacco prizery . The neighborhood was a center of civil rights activism during the 1960s, playing host to Martin Luther King Jr. It was once somewhat larger; areas to the west and north were razed during urban redevelopment efforts.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The William Parker Straw House is a historic house at 282 North River Road in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was built in 1923 for William Parker Straw, a leading executive of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company and president of the Amoskeag Bank, and is the city&#39;s finest example of Tudor Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Parker Straw House is located north of downtown Manchester, on the west side of North River Road opposite its junction with Monroe Street. It is a 2½-story structure, built with a wooden frame and finished in red brick. It is covered by a tall hipped roof, with hipped wings telescoping to the sides. A gabled ell projects forward from the right side of the central block, and a single-story portico shelters the entrance immediately to its left.

<p>Designed by the Boston firm of Hutchins & French and completed in 1923, it is Manchesters finest period Tudor Revival house. It was built for William Parker Straw, the then-principal executive on site of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, the citys largest employer. After the death of Straw and his wife in the 1950s, the house was converted to medical offices, and later to law offices.</p><br>
<p>The Roger Sullivan House is a historic house at 168 Walnut Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1892, it is the only known example of residential Queen Anne architecture by local architect William M. Butterfield, and is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of the style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Roger Sullivan House is located in a residential area north of downtown Manchester, at the southwest corner of Walnut and Prospect Streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing typical of the Queen Anne style. It is covered by a hip roof and finished in wooden clapboards and shingles. It is an exuberant expression of Queen Anne design, with varied gables, porches, chimneys, and bays, and a three-story turret capped with a conical roof. A period carriage house stands to the southwest of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by local architect William M. Butterfield, and built in 1892 for Roger G. Sullivan on land he purchased in 1890 from the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. Sullivan, a native of Bradford, New Hampshire, was manufacturer of one of the most widely distributed brands of ten-cent cigars, employing as many as 800 workers in a factory on West Central Street. Butterfield was one of the citys most prolific architects of the period, producing designs for all types of buildings and in many different styles. The houses builder, Wilberforce Ireland, was one of Manchester&#39;s leading contractors of the period. The house remained in the Sullivan family until 1957.</p><br>
<p>The Temple Town Hall, also known as the Union Hall and the Miller Grange Hall, is a historic municipal building in the center of Temple, New Hampshire. Built in 1842, it is a fine example of Greek Revival architecture, which has served the community as a church, Grange hall, and town hall. It continues to be used for social functions. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2007,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Temple Town Hall is located in the village center of Temple on the west side of Main Street. It is a single-story structure, its original core built out of heavy timber framing.

The tower has a plain first stage finished in clapboards, while the second stage, housing the belfry, is finished in flushboarding with louvered openings.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built in 1842 as a church. In 1875, the building was sold to the local grange chapter, which enlarged the building in the 1880s, adding 20 ft to its length. This additional space provided interior space for a stage, which was used for grange rituals and dramatic presentations. The town purchased the building from the grange in 1889, although it continued to be used by the grange in addition to serving as a place for town functions. It was used by the town as a meeting space until 1990, and continues to be used for social functions.</p><br>
<p>The Old Rock House is a historic house in Harpersville, Alabama. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 2006. It is located 1 mile southeast of Harpersville at the end of a farm lane on the northern side of USA Route 280. The house is built of local grey granite and limestone. The house was previously listed on the Historic American Buildings Survey. The Old Rock House is the only surviving example of an early stone dwelling in Alabama.</p><br>
<p>The Edgewood School of Domestic Arts, now known just as "Edgewood," is a historic building in Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States. Originally a school for girls and women, it now houses apartments upstairs and space for meetings and family gatherings downstairs.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>School of Domestic Arts</h3><br>
<p>Edgewood was established as a School of Domestic Arts in 1886 by Mrs. Eva Simplot. The 2½-story, frame structure built on a rock-faced stone foundation was completed in 1910. From 1911 - 1935 nine hundred thirty five women and girls from the area attended classes here. Subjects included sewing, cooking, and home management.</p><br>
<p>The lots on which Edgewood stands were owned by Mr. and Mrs. Simplot and were donated free of encumbrance. Through Mrs. Simplots efforts and dedication and with the help of a group of local women, the school was built. Community support was evidenced by contributions of money, furnishings, and labor. Dinners, suppers, and ice cream socials were held. Magazine subscriptions were sold, bricks were sold at a cost of one cent each. Windows were purchased at a cost of $12.50—the donors name was etched in the upper leaded glass pane.</p><br>
<p>After the school opened, expenses were met from tuition, board and room paid by the students and continuing donations from concerned people. Any deficit at the end of the month was paid by Mrs. Simplot from her own personal account.</p><br>
<p>In 1934, Domestic Science was added to the curriculum of the Iowa Falls schools, and it became evident that the "Sewing School" was no longer needed. Mrs. Simplot made plans for the future use of the building. She died in 1935. Her will left all the property now known as Edgewood to the women and girls of the Iowa Falls community, to be used for charitable, educational, and cultural activities. The building was transformed into a community center.</p><br>
<h3>Community Center</h3><br>
<p>Articles of Incorporation were drawn up and adopted in 1938. The articles were amended in 1961 and again in 1978. The articles provide that a board of directors be elected to care for and supervise the use of the building. These directors are elected at an annual meeting held in July of each year. Currently there are 12 members on the board</p><br>
<p>Through the years improvements have been made as funds became available. The second floor was turned into apartments, and bathrooms were installed. The building was rewired, and the kitchen was modernized. A parking lot, walks, and landscaping were made possible with the sale of some of the lots and the support of the city.</p><br>
<p>More recently, the attic was insulated, and the windows were replaced and reinforced. The original upper panes with donors&#39; names were kept. The social hall and kitchen were air-conditioned, and window air conditioning units were put into each apartment.</p><br>
<p>Current income comes from the rental of the five apartments on the second floor and the public use of the social hall and kitchen at stated rates. The basement is leased free of rent to the Scouts of Iowa Falls. Upkeep and utilities of that area are paid by them.</p><br>
<p>As when Mrs. Simplot lived, income does not always meet expenses. Public support continues to be necessary. The Community Chest and interested citizens annually contribute money and labor. For ten years, the board members sponsored an annual ice cream social during the July 4th celebrations, with all profits going to Edgewood. The board appreciates all gifts and support as they work to keep the building and premises in a state of good repair and an asset to the community.</p><br>
<p>Edgewood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Millbank, also known as Spout Spring and Hillwood, is a historic house at 3100 Berryville Pike, in Frederick County, Virginia east of the city of Winchester. The two story brick mansion was built c. 1850 by Isaac and Daniel T. Wood. It is one of the largest Greek Revival houses in the county, standing on a hill overlooking Berryville Pike and Opequon Creek, which flows east of the property. The house  has a typical I-house plan, with two entrances, one facing the highway and one the creek. Both were originally sheltered by Doric-columned porches, but the side entry&#39;s porch has been removed by vandals. The house was previously owned by the Winchester-Frederick Service Authority, who took the property in 1984 by eminent domain to construct the adjacent sewage treatment plant. It is now owned by The Fort Collier Civil War Center, Inc.  This nonprofit organization owns historic Fort Collier, another Third Battle of Winchester site.</p><br>
<p>The house has a documented association with the American Civil War. The nearby crossing of Opequon Creek was at that time a ford, and it was in this area that the Third Battle of Winchester raged. Millbank is documented as having been the site of a Union Army field hospital during the battle.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Thomas C. Harris House  is a two-story Italianate-style home located at 101 East Burton street in Kirksville, Missouri. A modified "T-plan" Victorian home constructed in 1875, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Captain Thomas C. Harris was an officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War. A native of New York, he settled in Kirksville shortly after the conclusion of the war, and was engaged in a succession of woolen mills in the town and vicinity. In 1875 Harris began construction of a large two-story brick home on what was then the northern edge of Kirksville. There is some doubt as to whether Harris ever lived in the home, and for how long, as it was sold in 1879 to another Civil War veteran, Doctor John Burton. Burton served with the Sixth Indiana Cavalry and as President of the United States Pension Board at the war&#39;s end before establishing a medical practice in Kirksville in 1867.</p><br>
<p>The home took on its secondary moniker of "The Parrish Place" in 1895 when it was purchased by Doctor A. Washington Parrish. Following Parrish&#39;s death in 1928, the home passed to his son, Doctor Bert Parrish, also a physician and surgeon in the community. Murdock had lived on the first floor of the home since 1939.</p><br>
<p>A fire in 1958 destroyed the summer kitchen, wood shed and coal storage room but was extinguished before causing any significant damage to the main house. Another major change to the original design came in 1965 when, due to fears of a weakening roof, the distinctive cupola was removed. However the cupola was restored to its position several years later.</p><br>
<p>Upon Murdocks death the Harris-Parrish home went to her daughter Mary Childers Sloan, who resided there until moving to Nebraska in the 1980s. The home was mostly vacant from the early 1980s until Sloans death in April, 2003. She deeded the home and property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The present owner, Daryl Shafer, purchased the Harris-Parrish home from the Trust in 2006.</p><br>
<p>After extensive renovations under the National Historic Trusts ownership and later Shafers, the home once again appears very much as it would have when first constructed, save for modern electrical, heating and cooling systems, and plumbing. One of the most significant changes involved removing a two-tone exterior paint of cream with dark brown accents and returning the structure to its original red brick. The post-fire additions of a garage and the west wing containing the family room were removed and replaced with a porch and landscaping. In addition to serving as a private residence the home has also served as a popular spot for weddings, open houses, and community gatherings. One such gathering in 2012 honored the sesquicentennial of the Battle of Kirksville.</p><br>
<p>The Cavalier Hotel is a historic hotel building at 4200 Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The seven-story building was designed by Neff and Thompson with a Y-shaped floor plan and was completed in 1927. Most of its hotel rooms featured views of the Atlantic Ocean, and all had private bathrooms. The hotel also featured dining facilities and opportunities for shopping, as well as amenities such as swimming pools that are now common features of modern hotels.</p><br>
<p>Entertainment, sports figures, and other celebrities who stayed at the Cavalier included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda Fitzgerald, Bob Hope, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Doris Day, Bette Davis, Muhammad Ali, President Harry Truman, and President Jimmy Carter. Other USA Presidents staying overnight at the Cavalier included Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson.</p><br>
<p>On Memorial Day weekend in 1929, shortly before the stock market crash, the famed Cavalier Beach Club opened on the oceanfront at the bottom of the Cavalier Hotel and drew big dance bands such as Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, Glenn Miller, and Lawrence Welk, and other performers, including Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built during the period of prosperity known as the Roaring Twenties, and was a major element of the development of Virginia Beach as a resort area. The hotel was operated successfully until 1942, when it was commandeered by the United States Navy as a training center during World War II. It was returned to its owners in 1945, but the lost years hurt the business. The property was used as a private club for a time in the 1950s and 1960s, and eventually reopened as a hotel. The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The hotel property was sold in 2013 under court order and the new owners began an extensive renovation and restoration of the structure with an anticipated opening of summer 2016. Due to unanticipated repairs, the owners announced in April 2016 that the opening would be delayed until 2017. The additional demolition and work added $24 million to the original $50 million estimate. Work completed in late 2017 and the facility opened in spring 2018 with 62 rooms and 23 suites, down from the original 135. The hotel also retained 21 of its original 350 acre.</p><br>
<p>On what had been vacant land north of the hotel, the owners constructed a housing development. In 2015, they demolished the Cavalier Oceanfront Hotel, across Atlantic Avenue, and began constructing a new hotel, scheduled to open in 2020. They also have plans for a third hotel in the complex.</p><br>
<p>The Cavalier Hotel officially opened Wednesday, March 7, 2018, with a "Grand Reveal" event at the historic property. The Virginian-Pilot reported that "About 100 people gathered at dusk on the brick pathway as lights illuminating the hotel were switched on. After four years of restoration work that cost $81 million, the “Grande Dame” is back."</p><br>

<p>The Acworth Silsby Library is the public library of Acworth, New Hampshire, located in the town center at 5 Lynn Hill Road. Built in 1891 and funded by Acworth native Ithiel Homer Silsby, the building is a distinctive local example of Romanesque architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library is located adjacent to the town common, northeast of the junction of Cold Pond and Lynn Hill roads. It is a -story masonry structure, its brick walls trimmed in stone and set on a fieldstone foundation. It is covered by a hipped slate roof, with a brick chimney rising behind the main ridge. The main facade is symmetrical, with paired sash windows flanking a projecting center entrance bay. The sash windows are topped by Craftsman-style transom windows. The entrance is topped by a gable, and the door is set recessed behind a rounded archway. The interior has a central foyer flanked by similarly appointed reading rooms, with a rectangular extension to the rear housing the library stacks.</p><br>
<p>The Romanesque structure was designed and built in 1891 by Hira R. Beckwith of Claremont. Beckwith is better known for Claremont City Hall and other buildings in downtown Claremont. Construction of the building was funded by a bequest from Acworth native Ithiel Homer Silsby, who had made his fortune as a Boston hotelier. Silsby also funded construction of the library in nearby Charlestown, New Hampshire, where he once worked as a teacher.</p><br>

<p>Wright&#39;s Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Newport, New Hampshire. Originally built in 1906 to carry the Boston and Maine Railroad across the Sugar River, it now carries the multi-use Sugar River Trail. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Wrights Bridge is located in a rural setting in western Newport, spanning the Sugar River about 1,200 ft west of the trails intersection with Chandler Mill Road. The bridge is a single-span Town double-lattice truss structure which has been reinforced by laminated arches. The bridge spans 122 ft, with 6 ft of overhang at each end, and rests on granite abutments. Its exterior is finished with vertical board siding extending to about 2 ft below the eaves. The portals have vertical boards along the sides, and horizontal boards above the opening. Elements of the trusses and arches are joined by a combination of wooden pegging, iron reinforcing rods, and metal turnbuckles.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is named for S. K. Wright, who sold this portion of the railroad right-of-way in 1871. The first bridge on the site was built soon afterward, by the Sugar River Railroad which originally built this section of railroad. Its successor, the Boston & Maine, built this replacement structure in 1906. The line was operated by the B&M until 1954 when it was sold to the Claremont & Concord Railway. The C&C last ran to Newport in 1977 and the line was subsequently abandoned. The bridge is one of two surviving railroad bridges on the line; the other is Pier Bridge.</p><br>
<p>Plains Mill is a historic mill complex at 14767 Plains Mill Road near the town of Timberville in rural Rockingham County, Virginia, USA. The mill building is a two-story wood-frame construction, built between 1847 and 1849, on the banks of the North Fork Shenandoah River, where a stream falls over the bank into the river, providing the mill&#39;s power. The building has been sheathed in metal siding, although its original weatherboard siding remains underneath. A set of grain bins were added to the south side of the building in 1923, and a two-story wing was added to the north after World War II. The mill was in continuous use from its construction until 1994, encapsulating the evolutionary history of mill development in that time.</p><br>
<p>The mill and a c. 1959 office building were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>

The central double entrance door is flanked by single windows, each of which is topped with a brick arch. The pilasters and entablature surrounding the door are a later addition; originally, the door was topped only with a rowlock course of brick. The south side has a shed roof covering what was the loading area.</p><br>
