<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Brickett was one of the first settlers of the Cold River valley, arriving in 1803. He lived with his family in a log cabin for a number of years, and began construction of this house in 1812, making the bricks himself. The house took four years to complete. Brickett did not own the land on which he built: it was part of a large tract granted to Josiah Bachelder in 1816, which was later incorporated as the town of Stow. Brickett purchased title to 50 acre from Bachelder in 1820. The house remained in the Brickett family until 1877, and was acquired by the United States Forest Service in 1918.</p><br>
<p>During the period of Forest Service ownership, the property has seen a variety of uses. Organizations using the structure have included the CCC, who used it as a work center, the Appalachian Mountain Club, which used it as a hostel, and the Boy Scouts of America, and it has also served as a Forest Service guard station.

<p>The Jim Brown House, also known as the Brown-Bender House, sits east of Ira and Akron-Peninsula Roads in Peninsula, Ohio, United States. Constructed in 1840, it sits back off the road, up a hidden, winding and steep driveway.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a four over four Greek Revival House. This simply means the layout of the house has four rooms over four rooms. This style of house was popular in the 19th century in America as the country greatly identified with Greek philosophy and politics. The house is white, supposedly resembling the great marble architecture of Greece. Also typical of this style, the roof has a lower pitch and the entrance door is framed with wide trim. The two story house has a commanding presence, sitting upon a hill with two chimneys and nine windows with green shudders.</p><br>
<p>The land also includes several over buildings. The big raised bank barn was built in 1886. This barn, the house, and Jim Brown&#39;s grave marker have all been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A greenhouse that was built in 1930 is located approximately one hundred feet south of the house. A small part of the farmstead is the orchard. There are a variety of fruit trees and grapevines in this small area. Thirty-five acres of farmland are also included in the property. Most of this acreage is located west of Akron-Peninsula Road. This land lies in the Cuyahoga flood plain since the river flows through a section of the land. It has been flooded numerous times. The house has not been affected by flooding since it sits a lot higher than the fields.</p><br>
<h2>Original owner</h2><br>
<p>More notable than the actual house is to whom the house belonged. Jim Brown, the owner, was a notorious counterfeiter. This man generally sold five thousand dollars of fake, counterfeit bills for one thousand dollars of legitimate money, taking advantage of the contemporary economy. During the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress authorized issuing American currency. This was a further step to gaining independence from England, no longer relying on English money. At the time, paper money was produced by banks (approximately sixteen hundred nationwide), regulated by state charters. With seven thousand different types of banknotes, it was extremely difficult for anyone to determine which ones originated from legitimate sources.</p><br>
<p>Brown needed printing plates and other expensive equipment to start, and Brown was determined to use legitimate money to purchase them. One night, he took five horses from his stables and rode towards Pittsburgh, leaving the horses at thirty-mile intervals. In the afternoon, he walked into a Pittsburgh bank with a fraudulent credentials and certified bank draft; upon receiving his money, he rushed home, changing horses at each interval. Upon returning home, he immediately began splitting wood under his neighbors window, and when the neighbors wife came to investigate the noise, he learned from her that the time was 7:30AM. Investigators suspected that Brown had been responsible for defrauding the bank, but when the neighbor&#39;s wife testified that he was at home, the investigation was dropped: surely Brown could not have been responsible if he were already at home on the following morning. Brown employed an identical strategy several additional times, defrauding banks as far away as Boston, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>Summit County sheriff Sam A. Lane was determined to get Brown arrested, even though no allegation could be proven. Since Brown would disclose that his money was fraudulent, he couldn&#39;t be charged with passing counterfeit currency, as the law prohibited passing bad money as good. Brown himself rarely touched counterfeit money, but he was ultimately caught in the nearby town of Boston after returning from New Orleans with goods for resale. However, the crime was seen as of little significance, as the rareness of money caused local residents to prefer bad money to no money at all. In 1834 he was elected a justice of the peace, and although he continued his scheme, he was twice returned to office.</p><br>
<p>Brown was repeatedly arrested and tried, including twelve times between 1837 and 1840. Finally, in 1846, he was sentenced to ten years in prison, but his sentence was reduced to just three years for good behavior, as he had nursed numerous patients during a cholera epidemic in the prison. Nevertheless, he spent the following years in and out of prison various counterfeiting charges.</p><br>
<p>Brown died in December 1865 as a result of a severe fall while walking on a canal boat. A legend exists that Jim had hidden some of his wealth somewhere in the Cuyahoga Valley, and he died before being able to retrieve it.</p><br>
<p>Houk Manufacturing Company, also known as Houk Wire Wheel Corporation, is a historic factory complex located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It consists of one- and two-story, brick factory buildings in a complex built in stages between 1910 and 1930. The original L-shaped complex built in 1910 consists of the two-story office building with an Ionic order portico, one-story machine shop, one-story warehouse, and one-story forge shop.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>2013</p><br>
<p>The building was purchased by developer Rocco Termini under his company Signature Development for approximately $300,000.00 USD.</p><br>
<p>During renovations the building was designed for 22 residential units and 2 commercial units. There are 11 residential units on each floor and commercial spaces exist on the first floor on the south east corner.</p><br>
<p>A black and white wheat paste mural was added to a cylinder block wall for marketing. The mural was a nod to the art deco era when Houk Manufacturing was at its prime.</p><br>
<p>2015</p><br>
<p>By 2015 the mural was almost completely gone from deterioration due to weather and has not been replaced to date (2021).</p><br>
<p>2016</p><br>
<p>Extensive and ongoing internal leaks around the new windows were reported. It appears that red siding was added to the top of entire second floor above the windows as a way to stop the water, although it has not been returned to the historic brick that was important to maintain the integrity of the historical brick.</p><br>
<p>It appears concrete was used for repointing during the restoration which has led to deterioration of brick material.</p><br>
<p>2021</p><br>
<p>In 2021 a large painted mural was added onto the exterior historic brick outside of the commercial spaces, which also diminished the historical integrity if the brick.</p><br>
<p>2021</p><br>
<p>After several years of restoration work the Pierce Arrow building which was the beneficiary of Houk Wire Wheels was developed into the Pierce Arrow Lofts. During planning, about 100 residential units were in the works. (needs confirmation).</p><br>
<p>2022</p><br>
<p>McGuire Group Development purchased the building across from Houk Lofts for approximately $785,000.00 USD after Buerk Tool closed abruptly in 2019.</p><br>
<p>According to local news sources, the building will be turned into 33 market rate residential units and no commercial units. The modern name of the building will be the Vintage Flats according to a construction sign around the site.</p><br>

<p>The Creek Council Oak Tree is a historic landmark which represents the founding of the modern city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States by the Lochapoka Tribal Town of the Creek Nation.</p><br>
<p>The Creeks had been forced to leave their homeland in the southeastern United States and travel to land across the Mississippi River, where the USA Government had granted them land in what was then known as Indian Territory. In 1836, after their arrival, the Lochapokas chose an oak tree on top of a hill that overlooked the Arkansas River as the site of their council ground. They lit a new ceremonial fire, using coals they had carried on their journey, established a busk ground, where all council business would be conducted. These grounds were also a gathering place for tribal ceremonies, feasts and games. The site continued to be used for these events until 1896. The Creeks still hold an annual celebration of their arrival at this site on October 20.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The surviving Creeks then built their village near the Council Oak. They named the village talasi or "Old Town."</p><br>
<p>The Council Oak is believed to have been a mature tree when the Creeks arrived. Although its age is not known, the same tree still lives as of 2023. One source claims it is a post oak tree (Quercus stellata). The Tulsa Preservation Commission article identified the tree as a burr oak (Quercus macrocarpa). Both are species of white oak and native to Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>Private citizens acquired the land during the early 20th Century. At one time, oilman Harry Ford Sinclair lived in a large house adjacent to the tree; a later owner, the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association, razed the house but retained the tree. By 1960, it seemed that the tree and its surroundings would be destroyed to create a parking lot. Instead, the Creek Nation and several individuals bought the site, which they donated to the City of Tulsa. The city turned the 1.86 acre plot into Creek Nation Council Oak Park. Richard Thornton was named as the architect for the park.</p><br>
<p>The tree was listed in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A, with NRIS number 76001576. The tree was placed in a Historic Preservation Zone at 18th Street and Cheyenne Avenue in Tulsa, Oklahoma in January, 1992. The tree was still living as of 2024.</p><br>
<h2>Other park features</h2><br>
<p>The park contains an ethno-horticultural garden displaying an assortment of plants that the Creeks used in their Alabama homeland. An image of the original planting plan for the park from the Library of Congress Historical American Building Survey (HABS) is shown at right.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the Oklahoma Centennial Commission sponsored a "Trail of Tears" monument honoring the Creeks&#39; suffering as they were forced to endure the trek from Alabama to Indian Territory. The sculpture, created by Creek artist Dan Brook, depicts a flame rising from a hearth. It is named Morning Prayer.</p><br>
<h2>Commemorative painting</h2><br>
<p>An oil painting by Mike Larsen titled Creek Council Oak Tree hangs in the Oklahoma Senate wing of the state capitol, over the staircase at the fifth floor. The work was sponsored by former governor Frank Keating and dedicated on March 6, 2002.</p><br>

<p>Oak Hill Cemetery is located in the city of Lewistown, Illinois. It lies along Illinois Route 97 and 100 in the 1000 block of North Main Street. The south part of the cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first cemetery in Lewistown, Illinois, was located on city lot 16, on land donated for this purpose by Ossian M. Ross, the founder of Lewistown. This cemetery was abandoned after a few years due to pressures from commercial development, and many of the bodies were reinterred in what is now Oak Hill Cemetery. The first tract of land in Oak Hill Cemetery was located in what is now the southeast corner and was approximately one acre in size. The second tract of land, north and west of the original section, was deeded to the Lewistown Cemetery Association in 1865 by Reuben R. and Ruth McDowell. Subsequent additions have brought the total size to approximately 30 acres. Only the south portion of the cemetery, an area of approximately 13 acres, is included in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The first interment in Oak Hill Cemetery was Maria (Ross) Coulter, sister of Lewistown&#39;s founder, Ossian Ross. However, the dates of her death and interment are unknown. The earliest date of death on a headstone in Oak Hill Cemetery is 1829, but it is unclear whether that date refers to a new burial or to a body being reinterred from the first cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Oak Hill Cemetery is still in active use. As of 2015, there are more than 5,000 individuals interred there. Among them are some of the early settlers of the Lewistown area, including members of the Beadles, Davidson, Phelps, Ross, and Walker families.</p><br>
<h2>Edgar Lee Masters connection</h2><br>
<p>A walking tour brochure is available from the City of Lewistown that lists the characters in the verse and their counterparts in the cemetery. This brochure also includes a map of the cemetery layout and the location of the gravesites of individuals linked to the Anthology. The gravesites of these individuals are indicated by numbered markers that are located beside the corresponding gravestones and are shaped in the silhouette of Edgar Lee Masters. There are 40 such markers, representing 52 characters from the Anthology (some of the individuals interred in the cemetery correspond to more than one character in the Anthology). However, there is still some uncertainty as to the exact relationship between the individuals interred in the cemetery and the characters in the Spoon River Anthology. According to Masters, 66 of the anthology characters correspond to persons buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Prominent cemetery features</h2><br>
<p>Located at the south entry of the cemetery is a memorial to Edgar Lee Masters, highlighting his close relationship to the cemetery. Nearby is a "Looking for Lincoln" exhibit that is devoted to Masters. In a central part of the cemetery there is a Civil War memorial that includes a pair of sandstone columns (the so-called "Lincoln pillars" Lincoln&#39;s famous "Back to the Declaration of Independence" speech was given there on August 17, 1858.</p><br>
<p>Perhaps the tallest monument in the cemetery is the memorial for William Cullen Bryant. This was not the poet William Cullen Bryant, but a distant relative who was the inspiration for the character "Percy Bysshe Shelley" in the Spoon River Anthology. The memorial consists of a marble shaft that is topped by a statue of a woman.</p><br>

<p>Richmond  is a historic mansion in Natchez, Mississippi. It was the nineteenth century private residence of a leading businessman and agricultural landowner in Natchez.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mansion is located on Government Fleet Road, also called Canal Street South, in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi. The nearby terrain contains deep bayous and is heavily forested.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property was originally owned by Juan St. Germaine, a Native American interpreter. though other sources use a ca. 1800-1810 date based on details of the original interior&#39;s Federal style woodwork.</p><br>
<p>In 1832, the property was purchased for $7,500 by Levin R. Marshall, a wealthy banker and planter who was the first president of the Commercial Bank. Improvements were made in 1832, and by 1840, the house had been extended to the west with an addition in the Greek Revival architectural style. A third section was added in 1860.</p><br>
<p>Marshall was a wealthy businessman and invested in agriculture, by the start of the Civil War he had 2,500 acres in Adams County alone, worked by 150 slaves and another 32 servants at the Richmond mansion. His total holdings exceeded 25,000 acres in three states. His son, George, married a daughter of the very rich planter David Hunt and resided at Lansdowne. Richmond passed to Marshall&#39;s widow upon his death at age 69 in 1870, and was still occupied by the Marshall family in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage significance</h2><br>
<p>Richmond has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 16, 1978. Its primary significance is as the home of Levin R. Marshall and the role he played in the economic history of Natchez. The mansion is said to have been one of the most significant Greek Revival residences and was one of the first such in Natchez.</p><br>
<p>The Miller County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse at 400 Laurel Street in Texarkana, Arkansas, the county seat of Miller County. The four-story Art Deco building was designed by Eugene C. Seibert and built in 1939 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. It is the second courthouse built for the county, and is an excellent local example of the WPA Moderne style of Art Deco architecture. The lower floors of the building are occupied by county offices and court facilities, and the fourth floor houses the county jail.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Mullins Court is a historic apartment complex at 605 Hickory Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It is a two-story U-shaped building built of brick and topped by a hip roof. The main entry is located in the courtyard formed by the U, and is framed in limestone trim. The brick is primarily orange, although there is a course of puce bricks that serve as an accent. The building was designed by Witt, Seibert & Halsey, and was built in 1928. It was the first apartment block in the city built in the Colonial Revival style, and was named in honor of the locally prominent Mullins family.</p><br>

<p>The Charles J. Neif House is a historic house at 1410 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure clad in novelty siding. The house has a poorly-documented construction history, but is distinctive as a well-preserved Craftsman-style bungalow in a neighborhood of later and larger houses. The land on which it stands was subdivided for development in 1894, and a house had been built on the land by 1905, probably by Charles Neif. In 1910 the property was acquired by Albert T. ONeill, whose family lived there until 1915. It appears likely that ONeill gave the earlier structure its Craftsman appearance, with broad overhangs and exposed rafters, although evidence of its earlier history survives in its one-over-one windows, which are a form more typically found in turn-of-the-century construction.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee Municipal Swimming Pool and Bathhouse were erected by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration  and the Works Progress Administration  in the 1930s.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>David P. Perry founded the Vesta Accumulator Company in Chicago, Illinois. A native of Painesville, Ohio, Perry had worked in a garment factory early in his life. An interest in electricity led him to join the Standard Electrical Company in Chicago. He became general manager of the organization and also did some work for the Hyde Park Electric Light & Power Company. In 1897, Perry leased 1,000 ft&sup2; of space at 53 South Dearborn Street and founded Vesta to manufacture storage batteries and electric bicycle lamps. The Vesta Accumulator Company was officially incorporated later that year with the following officers: president E. Davis, vice president E. E. Crepin, and secretary & treasurer Charles E. Gregory. The next February, Perry assumed the company presidency.</p><br>
<p>Company executives quickly realized that great profit could be made supplying electrical gear for the growing automobile market. Vesta expanded into the production of generators, ignition batteries, headlights, lamps, and lighting. By 1902, the company needed a larger space to manufacture its products. Vesta relocated to 266 State Street, but only remained for three years until they decided to split office and manufacturing into separate facilities. In 1905, the company built a general office opened at 1336 Michigan Boulevard while they leased factory space at 1521 Wabash Avenue. These buildings were part of the emerging Motor Row District, a stretch of buildings from Wabash to Indiana Avenues from 12th Street to 26th Street.</p><br>
<p>When the company again needed additional space, Vesta purchased the Mt. Sinai Temple on the southwest corner of 21st Street and Indiana Avenue. The temple was demolished, and in its place, Vesta built a four-story factory, the first built to the company&#39;s specifications. Chicago architect Carl M. Almquist was commissioned to design the building. All operations were again consolidated into the $80,000 building; offices were on the first floor while factory operations were in the basement and upper two stories. Vesta moved in in 1913. The rear of the building featured a service station where customers could bring their automobiles to have the batteries serviced. Vesta became a regional leader in battery production and produced the first battery-supplied electrical lighting for commercial trucks.</p><br>
<p>Over the next fifteen years, Vesta expanded their operations, opening branches in New York City, Boston, Atlanta, St. Louis, Kansas City, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Omaha. In 1920, Vesta opened a sales and battery service station at the corner of 29th Street and South Michigan Avenue in Chicago to clear space to allow manufacturing on all levels of the factory. The station featured space for over one hundred cars and five thousand batteries. Later that year, the company officially changed its name to the Vesta Battery Corporation. Net sales in 1921 were approximately $1.8 million.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, Vesta leased a one-story factory in the Clearing Industrial District, nearly doubling their manufacturing capacity. The former Motor Row factory was leased by the Simoniz Company, a producer of automobile polish products. By the 1970s, the Cook County Department of Public Aid was using the structure. Vesta continued to manufacture car and radio batteries in Clearing for several decades. In 1964, the company was purchased by Associated Battery Makers and the factory closed. The 1913 factory was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on January 2, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Dillon Graded School and Dillon Public School, now the J. V. Martin Junior High School, are a pair of historic school buildings at 405 West Washington Street in Dillon, South Carolina. The Dillon Graded School, completed in 1896, is a two-story brick structure with a projecting tower section. The tower is adorned with round arches and brackets in the eaves. The Dillon Public School is also a two-story brick structure, but it was built in 1912 and is Classical Revival in style. It has a U-shaped plan, with its main facade facing North 3rd Avenue. This elevation features a full-height porch, supported by square columns and topped by a full gabled pediment. Additions were made to the school 1936 and 1957, and in 1970 it was renamed the J. V. Martin Junior High School. Its central core was destroyed by fire in 1980, but was re-built.</p><br>
<p>The school buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Porcupine is a ghost town and former mining community in Haines Borough, Alaska. It is located about 1 mi southwest of Mile 35 of the Haines Highway, across the Klehini River. Gold was discovered along Porcupine Creek in 1898, and a seasonal community sprang up in the area. Due to the transient nature of the population, permanent structures were only gradually added to the area. At the time the Porcupine District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, about 25 structures were still standing in the area, in various stages of decay. Most of these were built during the period 1927–36, when the Sunshine Mining Company was the largest operator in the area.</p><br>
<p>The Emmons House is a historic house at 601 Lincoln Street in Sitka, Alaska. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, roughly 25 ft square, with a hip roof. The house was built in 1895 by Lieutenant George T. Emmons, who became one of the foremost anthropologists of the Tlingit people. Emmons served in Sitka for only four years, but he amassed a large number of Tlingit artifacts, and frequently returned to the area to continue his research. This house is the only place in Alaska closely associated with his life.</p><br>

<p>The Harriet F. Rees House  is a historic residence in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Located on the historically important South Prairie Avenue, the Rees house was built for the widow of a real estate developer. In 2014, the house and its coach house were moved a block north in the Prairie Avenue District to make way for expanded entertainment facilities near McCormick Place.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Residential development on the Near South Side of Chicago began in the 1850s in response to newly constructed rail lines. Prairie Avenue became one of the most desirable areas to live in the city, hosting millionaires such as Marshall Field and George Pullman. Harriet Frances (Butler) Rees, a native of Connecticut, was the widow of real estate developer James H. Rees.</p><br>
<p>James H. Rees became the city surveyor in 1836, then worked as a clerk and draftsman for former Mayor of Chicago William B. Ogden starting in 1839. He married Harriet F. Butler on June 4, 1844. Rees started his own real estate business with law clerk Edward R. Rucker in 1847. The firm was particularly noted for their introduction of abstracts of title. In 1852, Rees partnered with Samuel B. Chase to purchase 225 acre of Lake View Township, just north of the city. Rees left the abstract business later that year to focus on real estate.</p><br>
<p>The Reeses had one daughter, Carrie. They were charitable, donating to the Women&#39;s Hospital of the State of Illinois. James H. Rees died at their home on Wabash Avenue on September 20, 1880, from complications of diabetes. Harriet Rees decided to remain in Chicago. In 1888, then aged 71, Rees purchased one of the last open lots on Prairie Avenue for $15,000. Rees commissioned Cobb and Frost, one of the leading residential architecture firms in the city, to design a house. The house cost $20,000. Rees died there on December 10, 1892.</p><br>
<p>After the death of Rees, the house was sold to Edson Keith, Jr., for $42,500. Keith was an engineer for his father&#39;s company, Edson Keith & Co., eventually rising to become vice president. Keith was also an accomplished composer. Daughter Katherine married architect David Adler. The Keiths sold the house to typesetter Rolla W. McClure, who had been renting it since the 1910s, on March 1, 1923. McClure then converted the residence to a boarding house. The building passed through two other owners before it was purchased and opened as the Prairie House Café in 1970. It was sold to the Fung family in 1975, then purchased by the Martorinas in 2001. It is one of only eight surviving Prairie Avenue houses.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The three-story house was originally constructed between two other buildings; thus, it only has significant architectural details on its 25 ft front (eastern) elevation. Likewise, all elevations are brick except for the ashlar limestone front facade. To the front, the roof is steeply pitched in a cross formation, is capped with a stone finial, and features a decorative panel in its triangular gable. The rear of the house has a flat roof. The facade features a two-story, bowed front bay topped by an ornamental copper roof. All windows are double-hung sash with wooden frames. The five small windows on the third floor are arched and the first floor windows feature transoms. The front stairs are also limestone and lead to a wooden door.</p><br>
<p>The Rees is one of the three remaining Romanesque Revival buildings on Chicagos Near South Side. The style was considered pricey at the time and mostly saw use in public buildings such as Adler & Sullivans Auditorium Building instead of private residences. However, other areas in Chicago such as Armour Square did have an unusual abundance of Romanesque townhouses.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation and relocation</h2><br>
<p>The house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2007. Locally, it was recognized as a Chicago Landmark in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The house was threatened by the development of a new McCormick Place entertainment complex, which will include a basketball stadium for DePaul University and a 1,200-room Marriott Hotel. The move attracted interest as far away as Reno, Nevada.</p><br>
<p>The Orr School is a historic school building at 831 Laurel Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It is a single story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof that has exposed rafters. It is clad in white shiplap siding. The interior has a long, narrow hallway dividing classrooms on either side. The school was built c. 1880, and is the only surviving building in Texarkana associated with the life of the noted African-American composer Scott Joplin , the "father of American Ragtime". The building was originally two stories in height, but was reduced to one in 1920, when then hip roof and some of its Craftsman-style window treatment was added. It was purchased from the city by the City Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs in 1958.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>

<p>The Shepard Hill Historic District encompasses an enclave of summer retreat properties in Holderness, New Hampshire. Centered on a stretch of Shepard Hill Road east of Holderness center, the area was one of the first to be developed as a summer estate area in the vicinity of Squam Lake, which Shepard Hill provided expansive views of. It includes 17 historic summer houses, built between 1870 and 1921, and a chapel. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Shepard Hill area, located at the southern end of Squam Lake, was until the late 19th century a farm property owned by members of the Shepard family, whose name is given to the hill. The first property to be developed specifically as a summer residence in the Squam area, The Pines, was built in 1870 by William and Elizabeth Norton of New Haven, Connecticut. The hill, then relatively treeless, afforded fine views of the lake below, and was less subject to the annoyance of insects than waterfront properties. Over the next few decades, the hill was gradually populated by an increasing number of summer properties, some of which were owned by friends of the Nortons. In 1881, a hotel was built near the summit of the hill, which was instantly popular, necessitating multiple additions. The hotel was demolished in 1948; its guests included the poet John Greenleaf Whittier.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes the bulk of Shepard Hill, and includes properties on Shepard Hill Road, Asquam Road, Coxboro Road, and United States Route 3. The eastern boundary is roughly at Coxboro Road, and the western boundary excludes a cluster of more recent houses and inns on Shepard Hill Road. It includes the former site of the Asquam Hotel on the hills summit, as well as 17 summer houses and numerous outbuildings. The houses are generally sited to provide views of Squam Lake. The only building not built as part of a residential compound is the former St. Peters Church, a Stick style structure built in 1888, and since converted into a residence.</p><br>
<p>The Bartlett-Cushman House is a historic house at 82 Portsmouth Road  in Stratham, New Hampshire. Built about 1810, it is one of the town&#39;s best examples of Federal-style architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bartlett-Cushman House is located in the town center of Stratham, at the southeast corner of Bunker Hill Road and Portsmouth Road (New Hampshire Route 108). It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide and three deep. It is an example of a Federal-style double house, with its principal entrance framed by sidelight windows and pilasters, with a fanlight window and entablature above. Secondary entrances are simpler, with four-light transom windows topped by a bracketed cornice. The southern half of the house has a projecting two-story bay, probably added in the mid-19th century, with narrow round-arch windows. It has a hip roof, with a pair of rounded dormers on the front elevation. A 19th-century addition connects the main block to a stable.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1827 for Josiah Bartlett III, who had recently established a medical practice in Stratham and married that year. The house was built by Joshua Pike, a local builder. Its foundation exhibits one of the earliest known uses in the state of plug drills and feathers to split the granite slabs it is made of, and its Federal-style decorations are among the finest in the town. Bartlett descendants remained in the house until 1904; after passing through a series of short-term owners, it was acquired by Susie and Arthur Cushman. The Cushmans converted the house into a duplex, each half occupied by part of their extended family. After the last of the Cushman residents died in 2003, their heirs auctioned off the house contents, and sold the house to the town in 2013.</p><br>
