<p>The Struve–Hay Building is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1900, it represents a transition between Victorian architecture style and the less ornamented Commercial Brick style. The building was originally two stories with a three-story tower on the corner, but the second story of the Jefferson Street façade was removed in 1955. Previously consisting of two storefronts, the Jefferson Street side was later combined into one, with a recessed central entrance flanked by pilasters and two large single-pane fixed windows on either side. This portion of the building is also painted white with green accents, rather than the red with unpainted stone accents of the remainder of the building, providing additional visual separation. The corner and first bay of either side are adorned with stone pilasters with capitals supporting a stone course that wraps around the building. The tower has a single one-over-one sash window on each face of the second floor, with a pair of small arched windows on the third. It is topped with a pyramidal roof and ball finial. Along Holmes Avenue, the first floor has no windows, while the second floor has a pair of one-over-one windows per bay. The building is topped with a bracketed pressed metal cornice. The roof on the end of the building on the Holmes side steps down to a separate unit, featuring a Romanesque Revival arched entryway below a bay window. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>

Built about 1830, it is distinctive as the only brick house to be built in the Deer Street area, and one of the last Federal style houses to be built in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The James Neal House stands in "The Hill", a cluster of closely-spaced historic houses bounded on the north by Deer Street and the east by High Street at the northern edge of downtown Portsmouth. This grouping was created by a road widening project from houses originally located on or near Deer Street. This house is a three-story brick structure, oriented facing west on the south side of Deer Street. The side facing the street is two bays wide, while the main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a Federal style fanlight. The interior is finished in largely original transitional Federal-Greek Revival styling. It has a modestly Federal central stairway, and original fireplace surrounds.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1830–32 by James Neal, a local merchant. It is one of the last known examples of the Federal style built in the city. It is also unusual for its sophistication in what was then a residential area away from most of the city&#39;s merchant houses.</p><br>
<p>The Newington Railroad Depot is a historic railroad station on Bloody Point Road in Newington, New Hampshire. Built in 1873, it is an unusual railroad-related structure, serving as a passenger and freight depot, and as the residence of the stationmaster, who also performed the role of toll collector for the nearby bridge. It is the only surviving 19th-century railroad-related structure in Newington. Now vacant and owned by the state, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Newington Railroad Depot is located near the tip of Bloody Point, a peninsular projection that separates New Hampshire&#39;s Great Bay from the Piscataqua River. It is located on the west side of a former railroad alignment, and its 3.87 acre parcel includes foundational remains of a period bridge abutment. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The east side faced the tracks, and has one entrance that historically led to the waiting room; there are two entrances on the west side.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1873 by the Dover and Portsmouth Railroad to provide passenger and freight services, and to provide housing for the stationmaster. This type of depot, integrating all of the functions and providing housing, was generally rare, and this surviving example is particularly well preserved. The bridge across the mouth of Great Bay was completed in 1874, carrying a single railroad track as well as space for carriages and pedestrians. The stationmaster, in addition to managing the station, collected tolls for pedestrians and carriages crossing the bridge, and operated the swing section of the bridge to permit boat traffic to pass. It remained in service until the completion of the General Sullivan Bridge in 1934. The rail line was subsequently abandoned, and the nearby tracks were taken up in 1940.</p><br>
<p>The Newington Center Historic District encompasses the historic civic heart of Newington, New Hampshire.

This area includes the town common, laid out in 1640, a cluster of civic buildings, and several private residences, as well as remnants of the state&#39;s oldest town forest. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Newington was originally settled in the 17th century as part of Dover. It was set off as a separate parish in 1712, and incorporated as a separate town in 1713. Its historic town center&#39;s origins date to 1640, when common land was set aside by the town. Some of this became the town center area, and a larger part (eventually reaching more than 100 acre in size) was at some point designated as the town forest.</p><br>
<p>The town center is clustered along a section of Nimble Hill Road, a historic north-south route between Dover and Portsmouth, and is also passed just to the north by a historic alignment of the Old Boston Post Road, connecting Boston, Massachusetts, to points in what is now Maine. The north-south road was truncated at its southern end by the construction of Pease Air Force Base in the 1950s, which also greatly reduced the town forests size. One of the centers focal points is the Congregational Church, a structure built in 1712 and extensively altered in 1835, giving it its present Greek Revival appearance. Newington&#39;s Old Parsonage (1710) and Newington Meeting House (1717) are some of the oldest buildings in New Hampshire.</p><br>

<p>The Newmarket Industrial and Commercial Historic District encompasses the heart of a distinctive 19th century mill town, Newmarket, New Hampshire. Its mill complex is regionally distinctive for its extensive use of stone from an early date, and the town is relatively well-preserved due to a significant economic decline after the mills closed in 1920. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Stone School, listed in 1978, is a contributing resource.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Newmarket was incorporated in 1737, and was initially a shipping center, based on the Lamprey River, a tributary of the Piscataqua River. In the early 19th century, the power of the Lamprey River was harnessed by textile manufacturing businesses, which fueled the communitys growth into the early 20th century. That industry then declined, leaving a distinctive architectural legacy in New Hampshires Seacoast Region. The most notable aspects of the town&#39;s buildings is the use of stone, in contrast to other mill towns of southern New England, which predominantly used brick. The use of stone was not limited to the mills themselves: the historic district also has examples of stone houses, churches, and schools.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Main Street (New Hampshire Route 108) between Gerry Street and Elm Street, Exeter between Gerry and Main, Nichols and Central streets, and a number of smaller adjacent streets between Main Street and Granite and Spring streets. Its principal eastern boundary is the Lamprey River, along which the surviving mill buildings are arrayed. Commercial buildings are mainly located across Main Street from the mills, with residential housing on side streets. A cluster of town buildings and a church are located at the junction of South Main Street and Beech Street Extension. The town hall is a handsome Greek Revival brick building constructed in 1847.</p><br>

An addition, built in 1955, extends to the buildings rear. The towns modern library is set further back on the same lot.</p><br>
<p>North Hamptons public library was established in 1892, after the state passed enabling legislation encouraging the creation of such public facilities. The library collection was originally housed in the North Hampton Town Hall, and a drive to build a dedicated facility began in 1899. Boston architect J. Lawrence Berrys first design, submitted in 1904, was rejected by the town meeting as too expensive to build, and the present design was accepted and built in 1907. A new library building was constructed in 1973, and this building has since housed town offices.</p><br>

<p>The Doyle–Benton House was the former residence of James and Daphne Doyle until 1904, where it was later the residence of Frank Benton and family in 1906 until 1970. Mr. Doyle was the founder of the Portland Gold Mine, which is still producing as part of AngloGold Ashanti’s Cripple Creek and Victor Mining Company on the western slope of Pike’s Peak. Mr. Benton was a prominent cattle rancher on the Western Slope and was one of the founders of the National Western Stock Show.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mr. Doyle was a flamboyant character whose business and personal situations were profiled in great detail in Denver newspapers during the late 1890s and early 1900s. Notwithstanding his troubles, he was clearly a likable individual as evidenced by his reelection as the mayor of Victor, Colorado while he was serving jail time for contempt of court in a business dispute with his partner. Doyle eventually lost both his wife and his fortune in the course of his protracted business litigation and ended up selling the house in 1904 to a dentist named George Schumacker. Schumacker only resided at the Doyle–Benton house for a short period of time – under two years – and then sold the house in 1906 to the Frank Benton family.</p><br>
<p>The Bentons owned the home for an ensuing 64 years until 1970. The Bentons were prominent cattle ranchers on the Western Slope and Frank was one of the founders of the National Western Stock Show. He was a prolific columnist and writer and authored a book called "Cowboy Life on the Sidetrack", which depicted the difficulties ranchers had in sending their livestock via the Union Pacific railroad to slaughterhouses in the Midwest.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, Mrs. Frank Benton sold the house to USAF Major Eugene Tehee, Ret., and his wife, Rose Tehee. They owned the house for 34 years during which time they converted the basement, second and third floors to separate apartments while residing on the first floor. In 2004 they sold the house to Tamar Judith Gerber who remodeled it substantially in the Victorian period keeping many of the original features. She also converted the outside two-story carriage house to a separate living residence and was successful at having the house registered as a historical landmark.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The home had undergone major modifications sometime during the 1970s, and was converted into four separate apartments with exterior entrances for each room, complete with kitchens. In 2004, restoration efforts were contracted to The Cygnet Group to remove the modifications and restore the structure back to its original appearance with some modern upgrades, while keeping to the original appearance wherever possible.</p><br>
