<p>The Pittsfield Public Library is located at 110 Library Street in Pittsfield, Maine. The building it occupies is a Beaux-Arts building designed by Albert Randolph Ross, and was built in 1903-04 with funding assistance from Andrew Carnegie. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is one of the state&#39;s oldest Beaux-Arts buildings, and one of the most architecturally distinctive in the town.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Pittsfield Public Library is set on a roughly square lot at the southwest corner of Library and Main Streets, just across the railroad tracks south of the town center. The building is oriented facing toward the corner, fronted by a grassy plaza, with a central domed section flanked by rectangular wings radiating to either side. The entrance is at the center, in a round-arch opening flanked by engaged columns and topped by a gabled Classical pediment. The building is constructed out of white brick, and rests on the granite foundation. The interior is organized with the librarian&#39;s desk at the center, with stacks radiating behind it, and reading rooms with bookcases in the wings. The basement has been adapted to house additional stacks.</p><br>
<p>The library&#39;s creation was facilitated by the efforts of local mill owner Robert Dodson, and by a funding grant from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The designer was Albert Randolph Ross, an architect from New York City, who designed two other Maine libraries, including one at Good Will-Hinckley, also funded by Carnegie.</p><br>
<h2>Physical Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The building was erected in 1903 by Waterville contractor M. C. Foster & Son, and opened to the public in June, 1904.</p><br>
<p>The plan of the building makes excellent use of its square corner site. The library is a one-story ‘Palladian Villa’ consisting of a circular central chamber, capped by a shallow dome, from which two identical rectangular wings sweep outward to form a 135° angle. The wings are roughly equivalent in area to the central chamber, and are topped by shallow hipped roofs which meet the dome at its base. The leading gateway opens into the central chamber at the angle formed by the two wings, and is surrounded by a shallow classical frame of pilasters, columns, entablature, and pediment. The building’s unusual shape allows it to fit into one corner of its square lot (in the angle farthest from either street) and so use the bulk of the lot as a grassy plaza.</p><br>
<p>The library is constructed of white pressed brick with a granite foundation and base trim. The entablature which runs around the building’s eaves, as well as the pediment and decorative work above the front entrance, are of terra-cotta. On a section of the entablature over the entrance is painted ‘Public Library’, and a smaller message between the door and transom window reads ‘Open to All’, The roof and dome are copper. A tiny copper finial was detached from the dome’s crown not long ago.</p><br>
<p>The library’s central chamber is reached by climbing a series of steps from the vestibule space inside the front door. The circular chamber is bisected by the librarian’s desk, behind which six tall bookcases fan in a semi-circle against the chamber’s rear wall. The chamber’s dome and supporting pilasters of Keene cement were originally painted a buff color, but were recently white-washed in preparation for a mural. There is some evidence that a mural was executed in an earlier period, but later painted over. The chamber includes a small bathroom, office, and some closet-space as well.</p><br>
<p>Every wing of the library is a sizable reading room with wooden bookcases and tables. All furniture and woodwork of the library is made of Western brown ash stained to imitate Flemish oak.</p><br>
<p>The basement, originally used as storage space, has recently been remodeled into a reading room‒–stack area.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Pittsfield Public Library is one of Maine’s most distinctive small town ‘Carnegie Libraries’. It is one of the earliest and finest examples of a Beaux Arts building in central Maine. Besides, the library is among the most notable of Pittsfield’s Buildings from any period.</p><br>
<p>The library was gifted to the town by Andrew Carnegie and through the will of local entrepreneur Robert Dodson, the founder of the. Dodson resembled Carnegie in being a Scottish immigrant who rose to captain an American industry.</p><br>
<p>After heated debate throughout early 1903 on the selection of a library site, Pittsfield citizens chose the present location because of its closeness to the Maine Central Railroad Station and Tracks. The town was concerned that the library would be conspicuous to train passengers.</p><br>
<p>Architect Ross was responsible for two other Maine libraries, those at Old Town (1904), and Good Will Farm in Hinckley (1906). Although the latter is similar in design to the Pittsfield Library, neither is as successful. Ross is best known for the Washington, D. C. public library of 1900-01.</p><br>
<p>The Pittsfield Library is among the first Beaux Arts buildings in Maine, and is certainly the earliest example of the style in Somerset County. The Library&#39;s angular floor-plan is unique in the state.</p><br>

<p>The Pest House in Stillwater Township, Minnesota, United States, is a former quarantine facility used by the city of Stillwater circa 1872 to 1910. It is a rare surviving example of a pest house, a common public health strategy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where people with contagious diseases were isolated. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for having local significance in the theme of health/medicine. The original three-room Pest House has been converted into a private residence, with the addition of a porch on the southeast and a rear wing to the northwest.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1871 the Stillwater city council appointed a local board of health. One of its tasks was to prevent epidemics by isolating visitors or residents found to have contagious diseases. Thus the following year the city purchased a property on a hill outside town, on which was built the Pest House. It primarily served to isolate victims of smallpox, but also saw cases of scarlet fever, typhoid, and diphtheria. Stillwater ceased use of the Pest House in 1910, as hospitals were assuming the role of treating contagious diseases. The building was later converted into a private residence.</p><br>

It is eleven bays long and two rooms deep, with a slate-covered hipped roof with a central cupola and two rear dormers.</p><br>
<p>In 1967, the hospital Board of Trustees realized that Elkin needed a larger more modern hospital. It would be a 100 bed, all private room facility and the old hospital would be converted into a nursing center. The new ultra modern hospital was opened on June 29, 1973 to accept patients. An open house was held on July 1, 1973.</p><br>
<p>Although the hospital was built in 1973 as a 100 bed acute care general hospital, its licensure was maintained with two exceptions; four beds were taken out of service to be used by Nursing Administration, ultrasound and speech pathology and 15 acute care beds were converted to skilled long term beds in 1987, leaving a licensed acute care capacity of 81 beds.</p><br>

<p>Ada Village Hall is the former center for local government in Ada, Minnesota, United States. Completed in 1904, it was also an important public meeting hall and social facility through the 1970s. Architecturally, the building is an excellent example of the combined city hall and fire hall buildings that were constructed in Minnesota during the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for having local significance to politics/government and social history.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Village of Ada was founded in 1876. It was platted as a railroad town and served as a hub for transporting wheat from the Red River Valley to market. In 1881 the Village of Ada was incorporated and became the seat of Norman County. By the beginning of the twentieth century the town was expanding quickly. In 1904 civic improvements were made, which included the Village Hall. It was built to replace the previous village hall and fire hall that had been constructed shortly after 1881.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built during the spring and summer of 1904 and completed by October 1904. It was constructed of brick made at Ada&#39;s only brickyard. The formal, Neoclassical styling of the hall was meant to symbolize the democratic principles, strength, and order of American government. Built for approximately $6,000, it was a modest structure in comparison to other major construction in Ada during the period. The Ada Village Hall was one of three major public buildings in Ada that were designed by Omeyer and Thori. The firm also designed the Norman County Courthouse and the Ada High School. The firm designed hundreds of buildings in Minnesota and other midwestern states.</p><br>
<p>The entire city bureaucracy was located on the first floor of the building. The Ada Fire Department was headquartered in the hall until 1965. The police office and jail were located in the northern corner of the building until the 1970s. All local elections except school board elections were also held in the building. The Ada Village Hall was the principal public gathering place in Ada for many decades. The Ada Commercial Club and several other organizations held their meetings in the Hall. Most community functions, special events, and meetings were held in the second floor meeting room. There was a large assembly room, a kitchen, a dining area, and a small meeting room on the second floor that served the public. Meetings and events were held in one of the rooms on the second floor nearly every night of the week from 1904 through the 1970s. A portion of the building was used as a public library for nearly forty-five years. The library was established around 1914 by the Commercial Club and was operated by the Ada Public Library beginning in 1941. In 1959 the library was moved to the Zion Lutheran Church building.</p><br>
<p>The second floor of the Ada Village Hall was no longer used by the early 1980s. The First State Bank of Ada constructed a new building that included a community room. Most community organizations moved to that location. During the 1990s the second floor of the city hall was closed to the public. In 1998 the hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The first floor of the hall continued to serve as the city government offices until 2010. In 2012 a local retailer occupied the building but went out of business. As of 2014 renovation of the building was postponed due to the prohibitive cost.</p><br>
<p>The Dungcas Beach Defense Guns are an old World War II Japanese fortification in the United States territory of Guam. It consists of a tunnel dug in the coral limestone of the cliffs overlooking the beach on the northeast east side of Hagåtña Bay on the west side of the island. The tunnel has two guns mounted at openings facing the beach. This fortification was built by the 48th Independent Mixed Brigade of the 29th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, during its occupation of the island 1941–44. The guns from this position were probably fired on landing Allied forces during the 1944 Battle of Guam, in which the United States retook the island.</p><br>
<p>The guns at this fortification are Japanese short 20cm 12 cal. Model 3 Dual Purpose Naval Guns. The guns were removed from their original locations in 1992 to be treated for corrosion and to enable the development of the Onward Beach Resort. They were returned to fiberglass copies of the original emplacements and the tunnels were destroyed. Both guns are on display at the pool area of the Onward Beach Resort as of June 15, 2020.</p><br>
<p>The fortification was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The former Presque Isle National Bank building is a 19th-century commercial building at 422 Main Street in Presque Isle, Maine. Built in 1887, it is one of the most architecturally significant commercial buildings of northernmost Maine, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its architecture. It presently houses the Maine Farmers Exchange on the upper level, and retail stores below.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Presque Isle National Bank building is set on the east side of Main Street in downtown Presque Isle, in a row of brick and masonry building one to three stories in height. It is a two-story brick structure, set on a raised brick foundation, with a low-slope pitched roof, sharing party walls or directly abutting the neighboring buildings. The front facade is divided into three parts, with a central stair providing access to the second floor flanked by storefronts. The first floor consists of brick piers supporting granite lintels above the storefronts, which are plate glass and wood with recessed entries. The second-floor entrance is also recessed. Above each storefront is a three-part segmented-arch window, each with flanking brick pilasters. In the center is a brick segmented arch, under which is a granite block with the date "1887" incised on it. A belt course and corbelled cornice separate the second floor from the roof.</p><br>
<p>The commercial center of Presque Isle was completely destroyed by fire in 1884, and this building is one that was built afterward. It was built by the bank and a local businessman. The bank was a major financier of the growth of Aroostook Countys potato industry in the years between 1887 and its closure in 1933. The building was also home for many years to The Northern Star, a regional newspaper. It is now home to the Maine Farmers Exchange, a business that provides supplies to the regions farmers.</p><br>
<p>The Powder Magazine is a surviving structure of the Civilian Conservation Corps  camp of the 1707th Company. Located in Ouachita National Forest in the northeast corner of Scott County, Arkansas, it is a small stone and concrete structure about 4 x and between 3 and 4-1/2 feet in height. It is located about 50 yd south of the T-shaped junction of two forest roads  in 1993) on top of a ridge above Dutch Creek. The structure was built to house the camp&#39;s explosives, which were typically used by the camp crew for road and bridge building projects.</p><br>
<p>The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Old Scott County Jail is a historic former county jail at 125 West 2nd Street in Waldron, Arkansas. It is currently home to the Scott County Historical and Genealogical Society. The building is a two-story structure, built of fieldstone covered in concrete, with a flat roof and a stone foundation. It has a single entrance, which has sidelight windows, and its windows now have decorative shutters rather than iron bars. The jail was built in 1907–08, and was used for its original purpose until the 1930s, when it was adapted  for use as Waldron&#39;s public library. The library occupied the building between 1938 and 1947, and it was used for a time by local Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations. It has housed the historical society since 1987.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Caddo Valley Academy Complex is a collection of former school buildings in Norman, Arkansas. Set well back from Main Street , both located northwest of 9th Street, and a large concrete block gym with a gabled roof, located across 9th Street from the other two. The main school, built in 1924, is an outstanding local example of Craftsman styling; the 1937 home economics building also has Craftsman style; the gym was built in 1951, and is vernacular in style. The school was used until the local schools were consolidated into a new facility in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The main school was designed by Bayard Witt of the firm Witt, Seibert & Halsey of Texarkana, Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>The Kingston Mill Historic District is a 49 acre historic district in Kingston, New Jersey. It is roughly bounded by the Millstone, River, and Princeton-Kingston Roads in the townships of Princeton in Mercer County, South Brunswick in Middlesex County, and Franklin in Somerset County. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1986 for its significance in engineering, exploration/settlement, industry, and transportation. The district includes 16 contributing buildings and 2 contributing structures.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>In 1683, Henry Greenland built the first tavern here for travelers between New York City and Philadelphia. The current Kingston Mill, also known as the Kingston Gristmill, was built in 1888, the third one at this site. In 1755, Jacob Skilman built a gristmill and sawmill here on the Millstone River. The mill was burned in 1776 by the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. The district also includes the Greenland–Brinson–Gulick farm, four nearby houses, and the Kingston Bridge, an 18th-century stone arch bridge over the river. It was one of the first settlements in Princeton, preceded only by the Quaker community along the Stony Brook.</p><br>
<p>Birch Point, also known as Clark&#39;s Point, is a peninsula in Machiasport, Maine. It separates Sanborn Cove to the north from Larrabee Cove to the south on the west side of Machias Bay, a short way south of the mouth of the Machias River. The point is of prehistoric and historic importance to the local Passamaquoddy people, as it is the site of large panels of rock art which have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Machias Bay is a major indentation of the coast of Down East Maine, the easternmost part of the continental United States. The bay is fed from the north by the Machias River, and empties into the Gulf of Maine. Holmes Point is the northernmost of a series of projects on the west side of the bay, projecting eastward from a larger north–south peninsula separating the bay from Little Kennebec Bay to the west. The peninsula is shaped roughly like a clenched fist with the thumb extended to the east. The point, like other coastal landforms in the area, is partly a product of isostatic rebound, because of which sea level has been rising since the end of the last Ice Age.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Birch Point is estimated to have been a site of human activity for more than 3,000 years. This is based on part on analysis of the extensive panels of rock art found on tidally-washed parts of the peninsula. These panels were first formally described by Garrick Mallery in 1888, and are part of a much larger assortment of rock art found in southeastern Maine. Mallery described 57 figures, pecked into the rock faces by repeated blows of harder stone implements. The oldest figures are believed to be those closest to the water (and now often submerged), while the upper portions of the ledges on which they appear are free of art, corresponding to the Natives loss of control of the area in the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The rock art sites were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 for their archaeological significance. In 2006 the coastal properties containing the rock art panels were given to the Passamaquoddy tribe by the nonprofit Maine Coast Heritage Trust in exchange for conservation easements on tribal land nearby.</p><br>
<p>Brave Boat Harbor Farm is a private historic gentleman&#39;s farm at 110 Raynes Neck Road on the coast of York, Maine, United States. Developed in the early 1950s, it consists of a designed horticultural landscape with five structures, the most significant being a Colonial Revival house built at that time. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Brave Boat Harbor Farm is located on the north side of Brave Boat Harbor, a tidal inlet on the coast of southern Maine, and on the southeast coast facing the Gulf of Maine. The developed portion of the farm consists of 29 acre of rolling fields, grass meadows, developed garden areas, and a pond; most of the remainder of the property (which is over 100 acre) consists of undeveloped woodland. At the center of developed area are a house, cottage, and cluster of farm buildings, in whose immediate area is a designed garden landscape. All except the cottage were built between 1951 and 1954 in a deliberate homage to colonial-era farmsteads, by Calvin and Marion Hosmer. The property had for generations been in the hands of the Raynes family, but only had a small summer cottage (built about 1939) on it when it was acquired by the Hosmers in 1949. The pond also existed at that time, but was significantly reworked by the Hosmers as part of their landscaping activities.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a two-story wood-frame structure, clad in stone veneer, with a hip roof and a partial concrete foundation. The house is five bays wide, with sash windows in most of the bays, and a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows, and topped by a transom window, all set under a segmented-arch pediment. The first floor windows are set in openings with slightly arched lintels, and the second-floor windows are set near the eave in the Federal style. The facade details are repeated on the south (ocean-facing) facade, and there are single-story extensions to the sides. The stone for the veneer was all locally gathered.</p><br>
<p>The barn, built in 1954, is a story wood-frame structure with a hip roof and a cupola on top. Its main facade is divided into five bays, the central one having rectangular batten doors, and the flanking bays having Dutch doors set under segmented arches with keystone decoration. Other farm-related outbuildings include an equipment shed, and an animal barn for housing cows and chickens.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is significant locally as the only Pratt through-truss bridge remaining in Kosciusko County, and is important regionally as one of the few surviving spans built by the Bellefontaine Bridge and Iron Company.</p><br>
<p>Just west of the bridge was a ford across the Tippecanoe River. The Yellowstone Trail passed on the south side of the river. A marker has been maintained at this location consisting of a post with yellows bands and a "Y" in a black circle. In 1884, a new bridge across the Tippecanoe River was requested to connect Warsaw, on the south with Atwood and Etna Green on the north. It crossed the property of Robert Chinworth. Capt. David Braden working for the Bellefontaine Bridge and Iron Company agreed to erect a 140 ft span over the Tippecanoe River, at a total cost of $2520.00. The bridge opened in August, 1897. In 1924, with the construction of USA 30 the Chinworth Bridge was bypassed as it could not handle modern vehicular traffic. The Indiana State Highway Commission, created Tippecanoe Rest Area adjacent to the Chinworth Bridge.</p><br>
<p>In 1975, the enhanced 4-lane USA 30 was located north of the Chinworth Bridge. The bridge was closed to all vehicular traffic at that time. In July the Kosciusko County Historical Society obtained the Tippecanoe Rest Park from the State Highway Department. The KCHS dedicated the bridge as a historic landmark on July 6, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Chinworth Bridge was built by the Bellefontaine Bridge and Iron Company of Bellefontaine, Ohio. It is a 140 ft Pratt through-truss. The trusses have eight panels, each 17.5 ft long, set on abutments of cut stone. The southern abutment has been altered over the years.</p><br>
<p>The trusses have horizontal and parallel top and bottom chords, 24 ft apart with inclined posts at each end. Diagonals are designed for tension with greater stress expected toward the span&#39;s end. A single counterbrace in the third panel and a pair in the fourth, each of 0.75 in round rods with turnbuckles.</p><br>
<p>Bracing at the upper chord and at the lower chord adds strength. To protect against swaying, a round iron rod runs diagonally from one truss to the other.</p><br>
<p>I-floor beams carry the span&#39;s deck. Sets of stringers carry the 14 ft timber running surface. The timbers were covered in 1927 by a bituminous coating. A latticed guardrail runs the length of each side of the deck. The bridge allows a clearance of 19 ft.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Chinworth Bridge is an example of a Pratt through-truss bridge. Patented in 1844 Caleb and Thomas Pratt, the truss has vertical elements acting in compression and diagonal components acting in tension. A pin-connected Pratt through truss is "representative of perhaps the most common type of early-20th century truss bridges."</p><br>

<p>The Princeton Ice Company built a dam in 1884 on former farmland so as to allow for the production of ice for sale to residents and businesses in Princeton, New Jersey. This company was the primary supplier of ice to the town during the era of the frozen water trade before the advent of artificial refrigeration. In 1902 a second dam was added so as to increase ice production capacity. The company dissolved itself in 1929, after technological change rendered the ice trade obsolete. The nearly 77 acre site has gone undisturbed in the decades since, apart from the 1958 addition of a colonial revival home designed by noted local architect, Rolf Bauhan.</p><br>
<h2>Mountain Lakes Preserve</h2><br>
<p>In 1987 the property was purchased for open space by Princeton Township and has since been known as the Mountain Lakes Preserve. None of the original buildings of the ice company are extant apart from foundations and a chimney. The former farm fields have reverted to forest. The house on the property is now home to the nonprofit, Friends of Princeton Open Space, and is used for wedding receptions and other events, the proceeds from which support the organization. The preserve is at the heart of the broader 400-acre Mountain Lakes Open Space Area, an interconnected network of trails and parks that includes views of Tusculum, the country estate of John Witherspoon, and historic Coventry Farm. In 2013 the town of Princeton received a Historic Preservation Award from the State of New Jersey Historic Preservation Office for the rehabilitation of the two dams on the site. An anonymous gift of $3 million was received to fund the rehabilitation.</p><br>
<p>The Sugar Creek Vista Overlook is a historic scenic overlook in Ouachita National Forest. It is located on Polk County Road 64 , just south of Dicks Gap. The overlook is a simple roadside pullout on the west side of the road, with an angular retaining wall about 84 ft long. The wall was built out of quarried novaculite stone set with grapevine mortar joints in 1935 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps . It is one of only two CCC-built overlooks in the national forest, and the only one built with these particular materials.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Tall Peak Fire Tower is a historic fire tower in Ouachita National Forest. It is located at the top of Tall Peak in the southwestern part of the national forest in Polk County, Arkansas. It is a fieldstone structure, built about 1938 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps , and features the distinctive flared corners that typify CCC architecture. It is accessible via a forest service road off Polk County 64 .</p><br>
<p>The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Walter Beauchamp House is a historic house at 492 Prospect Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Built in 1905, it is a "double decker" single-family house, unusual both for its setting on a spacious lot, and for the style, which is generally uncommon in Hot Springs. Houses of this type are typically found on narrow lots in densely-built urban areas and have two units; this one is set on a larger lot similar to others in the neighborhood and has a single large unit. Walter Beauchamp, the builder, was a conductor on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Witherspoon Street School for Colored Children educated the African-American children of Princeton, New Jersey from 1858 until the Princeton Public Schools were integrated in 1948. The school was originally located at the building still standing at 184 Witherspoon Street. As enrollment increased it moved, in 1909, to 35 Quarry Street. The Quarry Street building was expanded in 1939 and again in 1966, giving it its present appearance. The former school has since been turned into an apartment building. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 2005, for its significance in education.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The school is built with brick and features Colonial Revival architecture. An ornate cupola is centered on the roof.</p><br>
<p>In 1948 the Journal of Negro Education wrote that the Witherspoon Street School had empty spaces while the school for white children was overcrowded.</p><br>
<p>Tusculum is a country estate on Cherry Hill Road in Princeton, New Jersey, built in 1773 for John Witherspoon, president of Princeton University and signer of the Declaration of Independence. It is named after the Roman town of Tusculum, which was home to the country villa of Marcus Tullius Cicero. In 1793, the property was made available for purchase as a result of John Witherspoons declining age, and was sought after by many refugees. The property was often visited by George Washington and his wife, Martha, during Witherspoons tenure as president of Princeton University. In 2013 the home was sold for $5.5 million.</p><br>
<p>The Mountain Avenue Historic District is a stretch of historic houses on Mountain Avenue in Princeton, New Jersey that date to the 19th and early 20th centuries. The 9 acre historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 2, 1995, for its significance in architecture and community planning.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early Construction: 1701-1863</h3><br>
<p>The present-day district was part of a tract originally sold to the elder Richard Stockton by William Penn in 1701. Mountain Avenue was opened in 1793, as part of a road from Blawenburg to Princeton. By 1796, Peter Stryker owned an 80-acre tract which later became the Mountain Lakes preserve, as well as the lot on which 73 Mountain Avenue was later built. The section of the district running west from 73 Mountain Avenue was part of the property of French refugee John Baptist Teissiere by the early 19th century. In 1806, Stryker&#39;s property passed from his brother to Samuel Updike. A frame house, now demolished, was known to have been built on the property in the 1840s, shown on maps in the same location, set back from the modern house, until 1905. The present-day 73 Mountain Avenue, likely built in the same time period, may have been a secondary dwelling on the property or may have later been moved to its present location, first appearing in a 1903 map.</p><br>
<h3>Continued growth</h3><br>
<p>Samuel Updike&#39;s property passed through several owners after his 1863 death, eventually being purchased by Stephen Margerum, Jr. in 1883. Margerum began damming a stream on the property to create ice, founding the Princeton Ice Company. The 80-acre property was operated as part of the Princeton Ice Company until its 1929 sale to Edgar Palmer, who passed the property to his widow, Elizabeth Grant Clark. 73 Mountain Avenue was being rented around this time. The 1.65 acres on which 73 Mountain Avenue sits was subdivided from the rest of the property in 1958, having become part of a suburban setting.</p><br>
<p>Philip Hendrickson brought the Teissiere property in 1863, possibly building a house on it, although no map records one. It was then bought by Rodman Henderson, a storeowner and contractor, in 1895. In 1900, Henderson began selling portions of his Mountain Avenue property. The first sale was to Francis J. Reed, who built 81 Mountain Avenue, finishing it in 1905. In 1907, he sold the lot at the eastern corner of Henderson Avenue. Henderson sold or gave the lots at 105, 107, and 111 Mountain Avenue to three of his sons between 1905 and 1919, later selling 139 out of the family in 1924. The remaining lots west of Henderson&#39;s house were subdivided in 1931, four years after his death.</p><br>
