<p>The Gilmanton Ironworks Library is a historic library building at 10 Elm Street in the Iron Works village of Gilmanton, New Hampshire. Built in 1916–17, it was the first Colonial Revival library building in Belknap County. The building, still serving as a branch of the Gilmanton public library system, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gilmanton Ironworks Library is located in the center of the village of Gilmanton Ironworks in the east part of the town of Gilmanton, on the west side of Elm Street just south of its junction with New Hampshire Route 140. It is a small single-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. Its street-facing facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a gabled portico. The portico features a pair of Doric-style round columns, which support an entablature and fully pedimented gable. The window bays each have three-part windows, with a central picture window flanked by smaller sash windows. The interior layout has a vestibule and central librarian&#39;s desk, flanked on one side by the reading room and the other by the stacks.</p><br>
<p>The first library formed in Gilmanton was a private lending library founded in 1801, and was first located in a private residence near the Smith Meeting House before being moved to Iron Works Village. A second library was founded in 1815 for the use of the Gilmanton Academy, and was located in the town center at Gilmanton Corner Village. The towns public library system was established pursuant to requirement state laws enacted in the 1890s, and by 1915 had branches serving each of the towns three villages. That in Gilmanton Ironworks was located (along with the town selectmens offices) in one of the villages commercial buildings, which was destroyed in a 1915 fire that wiped out much of the village. Most of its books were saved, however, and it was soon operating again in temporary quarters. The library was designed by architect Willard M. Bacon and built 1916–17. Bacon was based in Boston, Massachusetts, but summered at nearby Crystal Lake. Its Colonial Revival design was the first of that style in the county; most of the libraries built in subsequent years would also be Colonial Revival, marking a shift away from the Classical Revival that had previously dominated their designs.</p><br>
<p>The Ossian Wilbur Goss Reading Room is a historic library building at 188 Elm Street in the Lakeport section of Laconia, New Hampshire. The architecturally eclectic single-story brick building was designed by Boston architect Willard P. Adden and built in 1905-06 after the collection of the former Lakeport library was moved to the recently built Gale Memorial Library in the center of Laconia. Its construction was funded by a bequest from Ossian Wilbur Goss, a local doctor who had died without natural heirs. The building officially became a branch of the Laconia library system in 1909, and continues to be administered in part by trustees of Goss&#39;s legacy. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Goss Reading Room is located in Laconia&#39;s Lakeport village, at the northwest corner of Franklin and Elm streets. It is a single-story brick building with an L-shaped configuration covered by a gabled roof. The gable ends are raised above the level of the slate roof, with caps at the ends. The main facade is dominated by a front-facing gable on the right, and an entrance vestibule at the center. The gable has a large six-part window in segmented-arch openings; the windows are set in a pattern of narrow windows on the outside and a wider one in the center, with sash windows topped by fixed transom windows. The entry vestibule has a shed roof and corner brick piers, with an entrance flanked by double-wide sidelights.</p><br>
<p>Lakeport was a village of Gilford until 1893, when it was annexed to Laconia. It had a village library, which had no permanent home. When Laconia&#39;s Gale Memorial Library was established in 1897, the Lakeport collection was merged into that one, and the library was closed. A lending arrangement was established at a local store, but this system was considered inadequate to village residents. Ossian Wilbur Goss was a local physician, whose house was one of over 100 buildings destroyed by a fire in 1903. His interest in providing a permanent branch library for the village was manifested in his plans to rebuild his residence. His wife and children had predeceased him, so he left a bequest instructing trustees to either adapt his house, or build a new structure, from the majority of his estate. He died in 1903, three weeks after signing the will, without having rebuilt. His appointed trustees oversaw the construction of this building on his house lot. It was designed by Boston architect Willard P. Adden, and was completed in 1907. It was formally accepted as a branch library by the city in 1909. The land and building continue to be owned by the Goss trustees, while the library is administered as part of the city library system.</p><br>

The other windows were rectangular six-over-six sash, framed by simple corner boards. The house was not architecturally distinguished, and was typical of late 18th-century residential construction in rural New Hampshire.</p><br>

<p>The William Hale House is a historic house at 5 Hale Street in Dover, New Hampshire. Built in 1806, it is one of the few early houses in southeastern New Hampshire for which the architect is known with certainty. It is also the only definitively known work of that architect, Bradbury Johnson, who had a reputation for craftsmanship across the state&#39;s Seacoast Region. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It presently serves as the parish house for the adjacent St. Thomas Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Hale House is located on the south side of Hale Street, opposite Dover City Hall and just east of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. It is a three-story wood-frame structure set close to the street, five bays wide, whose third floor windows are smaller than those on the lower floors. The center entry is sheltered by a modest portico supported by Doric columns and matching pilasters. At the back of the house is a modern parish hall, which physically connects the house to the adjacent church.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1806 for William Hale by Bradbury Johnson, a noted local builder-designer of the period. William Hale was a successful merchant, and this house was one of the finest of the Federal era in Dover. The house was originally located nearer the center, on the site where Dover City Hall now stands, overlooking the waterfront where Hale owned a wharf. In 1890 it was moved to its present location after the city took the land by eminent domain. The property was purchased by the church from Hale&#39;s descendants in 1901.</p><br>
