<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former H. D. Smith Company complex is located in the Plantsville area of southwestern Southington, on the west side of West Street a short way north of its junction with West Main Street. It is located between West Street and the Eightmile River, which runs at the rear of the property and historically provided the facilitys power. The building has two parts, both built out of red brick: the front section is two stories in height, with a truncated hip roof topped by a square cupola, and the rear section is a long single-story gable-roofed structure. The buildings bays are articulated as recessed panels, with brick corbelling at the top. The front section has a single-story hip-roof porch extending across its front, with chamfered square posts rising to brackets with jigsawn spandrels. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings, with headers that use alternating red and black bricks.</p><br>
<p>The H. D. Smith & Co. was founded in 1850 by Henry D. Smith, who had invented machinery for automating the manufacture of previously handmade iron parts for carriages. Originally located in Meriden, Smith moved the company to Plantsville, and built this factory around 1882. It was originally much larger, having a large U shape with an open courtyard, and was considered a local showpiece of design. The surviving building represents the northernmost leg of the U. The company shifted to the production of bicycle parts in the 1890s, and the manufacture of toolkits for automobiles in the early 20th century. It failed in the 1920s, after which the factory stood vacant. In 1938 it was purchased by the Florian family, who owned the American Standard Company, a maker of gardening tools.</p><br>

Woodruff was well known in the town as a veteran of the American Civil War and was a carpenter who co-owned a local carriage business. The property remained as rural farmland until the 1960s, and has since been subdivided into a suburban residential area.</p><br>
<p>The Ezekiel Woodruff House is a historic house at 1152 East Street in Southington, Connecticut., Built in the mid-to-late 18th-century, it is a well-preserved example of a Georgian Cape style house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ezekiel Woodruff House is located in eastern Southington, on the east side of East Street (Connecticut Route 364), just south of its crossing of Misery Brook.

<p>The Helvig–Olson Farm Historic District is an agricultural historic district located in rural Clinton County, Iowa, United States, 3 mi southwest of the town of Grand Mound. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Helvig–Olson family originally immigrated from Kvinnherad Parish in Norway to Kendall County, Illinois. They then moved to Olive Township, Clinton County, Iowa in the late 1850s and early 1860s. John J. Helvig bought the original 80 acre of this farm in 1864. His half-brother John Olson, one of the founding members of the Kvindherred Lutheran Church located 1 mi west of the farmstead, had bought a nearby farm two years prior.</p><br>
<p>The surnames of first generation Norwegian immigrants was somewhat inconsistent. It was the custom in rural Norway to give a child three names when they were born: a Christian (first) name, a patronymic surname that included the father&#39;s first name, and a third name that was the farm on which the family lived whether they owned it or not. The surname was gender-specific. For example, Oleson was used for a boy and Olesdatter for a girl. After they arrived in America, Norwegians were encouraged to choose either their patronymic surname or their place name as their American surname, but not both. The female version of the patronymic name, -datter, was replaced by -son or -sen for single women. It could be confusing as the first generation used the names interchangeably. John Olson, the half-brother of John Helvig, was also referred to as John O. Helvig. "Olson" was their Americanized patronymic surname and "Helvig" was the farm on which they were both born.</p><br>
<p>The Helvig–Olson family prospered here. Helvig had increased the size of the farm to 380 acre by 1864. Starting in 1870 John Olson wrote letters to his brother in Norway stating, "Your children can now earn their own living by feeding and clothing themselves over here and also be of help to you parents." Nils Olai Olson, John Olson&#39;s only son, bought the Helvig farm in 1901. He consolidated the two farms under his ownership and it made him one of the largest landowners in Olive Township. The farm, reduced to 237 acre, was eventually acquired by Joel Olson, a great-grand-nephew of John J. Helvig. He owned it at the time the farm was listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is limited to 4.3 acre of the original farm. On it are eight buildings, six of which were built between 1928 and 1943. On the north side of the farmstead is a large machine shed, clad in steel, that was built in 1978. It is the only non-contributing structure on the farmstead.</p><br>
<p>The land of the farmstead itself is a contributing property. On the west side and a small section of the north side is a windbreak of shade trees in the yard. The oldest trees were planted in 1910 and more were added in 1960. A long lane connects the farmstead with 260th Street.</p><br>
<p>The farm land is relatively flat and at one time had marshes on it that have been, for the most part, drained. There is a spring located on the original farm, to the northeast of the farmstead. It is the source for Barber Creek, which is a tributary of the Wapsipinicon River to the south. It was also a water source for several farms in the area before wells were drilled for that purpose. The first settlers did their laundry at the site. In 1912, drainage tiles and ditches were installed on the farm. Trees have subsequently grown up in the area of the spring and two ponds were created to the south in 1933 and 1937.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The original house dates from the 1860s and was converted into a garage in 1940. It was built as a Norwegian-American Akerhusisk plan house. The two-story frame structure has been altered on the main level to create two large openings on the south side. The second floor remains intact. The original secondary entrance and several of the house&#39;s original windows also remain in use. The structure was moved to its current location when a new house was built.</p><br>
<p>The current house was built in 1930 on the location of the original house. It is a basic American Four-Square structure with Craftsman influences on the front porch. It is capped with a Prairie-style low pitch roof with low profile dormers on the south and west sides, and wide eaves. The two-story square structure is clad in wood lap siding. The house is built on a limestone foundation that is faced with brick on the exterior. In addition to the front porch there is also a side porch, a rear service entrance, and a small projecting window bay off the dining room. The house was built by Will Ehlers, who was also responsible for similar houses in the area.</p><br>
<p>The farm building were built along the east side of the farmstead. They were all painted red with white trim until around 1940 when they were all painted white.</p><br>
<p>The oldest farm building is the hog house built in 1928. The 28 by structure includes a holding pen, pasture, and exercise area. The building features a gambrel roof with two rows of eight skylights on both sides, two ventilators on the roof peak and a large sliding door on the west side.</p><br>
<p>The barn is 74 ft south of the hog house. The 38 by structure was built by Will Ehlers in 1937. It also has a gambrel roof with two dormers on the south side and a ventilator at the roof peak. The frame structure is built on a concrete foundation, the exterior walls are covered with vertical tongue-and-groove fir. The interior&#39;s ground level has a central passage. The horse stalls and calf pen were located on the north side and dairy cow stalls were the south. The upper level originally had two 10 by grain bins on one end, but it was later converted into a single loft that was used for hay storage. Like the hog building, it also has its own has holding pen, pasture, and exercise area.</p><br>
<p>To the south and east of the barn is a cattle "loafing" shed. The 24 by structure was built in 1943 of wood-frame construction. It features an off-center gable roof and a sliding door on the west side, and has four open bays that face south on the interior.</p><br>
<p>The final major farm building is a double corn crib, built in 1941. It was constructed by L. P. Huetter, a contractor from Calamus, Iowa. The 30 by structure is of wood construction. It is composed of a 5,000-bushel grain bin between two 4,000-bushel cribs. It is capped with a gambrel roof and a gambrel roof cupola that houses elevator machinery that lifts ear corn and grain and directs them into the cribs. The floor of the building is composed of concrete and the walls are beveled pine boards, or cribbing, that are spaced to allow for ventilation.</p><br>
<p>The Hamlin County Courthouse, located at 300 4th Street in Hayti, is the county courthouse serving Hamlin County, South Dakota. The courthouse was completed in 1916, two years after the Hamlin county seat was moved to Hayti from Castlewood by popular vote. Architects William W. Rose and David B. Peterson of Kansas City, Missouri designed the courthouse; their Classical Revival design was typical of contemporary courthouse architecture in South Dakota. The four-story limestone building features four Ionic columns along the front facade and an entablature with an egg-and-dart frieze and a dentillated cornice. The building has served as the seat of county government since its opening.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 12, 2000.</p><br>

<p>The land belonged to John Foreman until it was acquired by William Coldwell in 1797. The construction of the two-story log house began in 1797, and it was completed c. 1808. It included an adjacent log cabin and a horse barn.</p><br>
<p>In 1808, Coldwell sold the house to Congressman William Dickson, who served in the United States House of Representatives from 1801 to 1807. In 1817, it was purchased by Congressman Thomas Claiborne, who served in the House of Representatives from 1817 to 1819. However, Claiborne sold the house in 1818 to Justice Gilbert Gray Washington, who served in the Tennessee Supreme Court.</p><br>
<p>In 1825, the house was purchased by Hinchey Petway (1776-1856), a merchant active in Franklin, Tennessee who remained the owner throughout the 1830s and 1840s. Today, the Hincheyville Historic District in Franklin is named for Petway. Petway added more land, coming up to 431 acres, and he owned African slaves, who worked on what was by then a Southern plantation. He lived there with his wife, Susanna Caroline Parrish Petway, and their seven children. When Petway died in 1856, the house was willed to his widow and their children. It remained in the Petway family during the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>In 1866–1867, the house was purchased by Judge John S. Brien. When he died in 1867, the house was inherited by his widow, Rochie Howard Brien (1840-1930), who lived there until her death. She shared the house with her daughter Rochie, her son-in-law, Union Colonel George P. Buell, who was General Buells cousin and became the owner of the house, and her grandson, Don Carlos Buell II. Buell hired architect George Norton to redesign the house in the Neoclassical architectural style circa 1910. Norton added poplar weatherboard, a front porch, and a grand staircase inside the house. Meanwhile, Don Carlos Buell II married Ruth Norton, the architects sister, and they lived in the house until the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>In 1953, Ward Allen, a Professor of English at Vanderbilt University, purchased the house from Ruth Norton Buell. He welcomed meetings of St Matthias Episcopal Church and lived here with his wife Peggy until 1958, when they sold the house to Charles Toney and his wife Josephine. In 1963, the house was purchased by R. Harold King and his wife, Dorothy. The Kings renovated the house.</p><br>

Built in 1893, it is a distinctive local example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, designed by local architect Joseph W. Northrop for a congregation founded in 1837. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>Bridgeport&#39;s First Baptist Church stands west of the city downtown at the northeast corner of Washington Avenue and West Street. It is a tall single-story structure, roughly in the shape of elongated octagon with several projections. It is built of red sandstone from East Haven. The most prominent is the 4-1/2 story octagonal tower at the street corner, which houses the main entrance in a square pavilion at its base. Shorter towers rise from the other corners of the building. The main roof is hipped, and rises to support a clerestory window near its apex. The interior is relatively little altered since a 1930 renovation, and still retains many features from its original construction, including the tile floor, plastered walls, and oak pews. Attached to the rear is the parish house, built at the same time with similar materials and styling.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was established in 1837, and grew from 39 founders to become one of the city&#39;s largest Protestant congregations.

<p>Ein Jacob  Synagogue  Lutheran Church and currently as The Church of God and Saints-Christ) is a historic religious building at 748 Connecticut Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Built in 1918, it is notable for its relatively sophisticated architectural appearance, despite a use of relatively low-cost materials for the period. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Ein Jacob Synagogue is located in Bridgeport&#39;s East End neighborhood, at the southeast corner of Connecticut Avenue and Carroll Avenue. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, set on a foundation of concrete blocks finished to resemble quarry-cut stone. The building is sided with asbestos siding scored to resemble brick. The main facade is three bays wide, with a central projecting section which houses the main entrance and rises to a low square tower. The flanking windows have Gothic points, and are topped by brick headers with keystones at the top and impost blocks at the sides.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1918 for a Christian congregation of Swedish Lutherans. By 1918 it had been taken over by the Ein Jacob congregation, which occupied the premises until disbanding in 1962. The building was then sold to the present congregation, the Church of God and Saints-Christ. The building is architecturally distinguished for its unusual use of low-cost materials to produce a comparatively sophisticated Gothic appearance.</p><br>
<p>The building was one of fifteen Connecticut synagogues added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and 1996 in response to an unprecedented multiple submission, nominating nineteen synagogues.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic church at 768 Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Built in 1873 for a congregation founded in the mid-18th century, it is a well-preserved design of James Renwick Jr. and a good example of late 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church is located west of downtown Bridgeport, its complex occupying part of a block bounded on the north by Laurel Avenue, the south by Fairfield Avenue, and the east by Park Avenue. The church building is arrayed with its long axis along Park Avenue, with its main facade facing south toward Fairfield Avenue. The church is a Gothic Revival structure, built out of granite quarried at Greenwich, Connecticut with lighter-colored trim from Ohio. It is roofed with dark slate tiles with bands of red slate. At the southeast corner stands a square tower, with stone buttresses at its lower level, a belfry at the second stage, and a pyramidal cap that has rounded turrets at the corners. Main entrances to the building are located in the base of the tower, with a matching entrance in a lower projection on the left side of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The congregation of St. Johns was organized as an Anglican mission in 1738, and is one of the oldest Episcopal congregations in the state. It was formally recognized as a parish in 1784. The present building is its fourth sanctuary, the congregation having outgrown each of the first three to be built. The church was designed by James Renwick Jr., a leading practitioner of church design in the late 19th century best known for St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhattan. The church was built in 1873-75, its chapel wing on the north side was added 1886-1888, and the rectory was built in 1903. The parish hall/guild hall complex was built in 1930.

Now managed by the local historical society as a museum, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Enfield Town Meetinghouse occupies a prominent location in the historic town center of Enfield, on the west side of Enfield Street (United States Route 5) just north of its junction with South Street, and across the street from the fourth building used by the Enfield Congregational Church. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a front-facing gabled roof, and clapboarded exterior. It is set on a brick foundation. The front facade is its most distinguished feature, resembling a Greek temple portico with four fluted Ionic columns supporting an entablature and fully pedimented gable. There are three entrances, the outer two identical single-leaf doorways topped by transom windows and framed by Greek Revival pilasters and corniced entablature. The center entrance is a double-leaf entry with similar surround but no transom.</p><br>
<p>The meetinghouse was built in 1773-74 by a local builder named Isaac Kirby, and was based on a similar building in East Windsor. Originally located across the street, it was moved to its present location in 1848, at which time its Greek Revival features were also added. It served as the community&#39;s town hall and principal meeting place until the 1920s, after which it served as a community meeting space, hosting dances, parties, and other events. It is now maintained by the local historical society as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Merryall Union Evangelical Society Chapel  is a historic church building on Chapel Hill Road in the Lower Merryall section of New Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1890, it is the town&#39;s best example of Carpenter Gothic architecture. It is used in the summertime for services by visiting ministers of diverse denominations, and hosts weddings and other private functions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Merryall Chapel stands in a rural setting about 4 mi north of the center of New Milford, on the west side of Chapel Hill Road. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a steeply pitched gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A square tower projects from the center of the street-facing front facade, rising to a pyramidal roof and fleur-du-lis finial. The entrance is in the base of the tower, topped by a lancet-arched panel. Lancet-arch windows line the side walls. The interior is decorated in a Victorian style, with spindle-backed chairs for seating of the congregation, and a raised platform at the rear serves as the altar, furnished with velvet armchairs and couch.</p><br>
<p>The Merryall Union Evangelical Association was founded in 1884 as a vehicle to provide Sunday School education to children in the area. The present chapel was an outgrowth of that organization, which expanded to offer regular services to local residents, who would otherwise have to make the sometimes difficult journey to the town center for services. Services were typically provided by traveling ministers or ministers from other area churches, and were usually non-denominational. About 1900, care of the building fell to a local sewing club, and services were regularly offered during the summer, bringing in summer residents of the area. A new nonprofit was established in the 1970s to oversee maintenance of the building.</p><br>
<p>Beth El Synagogue is a historic synagogue at 359–375 Cooke Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. Built in 1929, it is the first synagogue in the state to be built in the Byzantine Revival style, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 for its architecture. Originally built for a Conservative congregation, it is now home to Yeshiva Ateres Shmuel, a yeshiva.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and building history</h2><br>
<p>The former Beth El Synagogue stands in a mainly residential area north of downtown Waterbury, on the west side of Cooke Street at its junction with Sterling Street. It is a domed Byzantine Revival-style building, with broad steps leading to a triple entrance on the front facade, which is topped by a carved representation of the Decalogue. The dome is finished in gold, and is topped by a ring of acanthus cresting and a finial. The interior sanctuary space is open to the dome, and has wooden pews divided by three aisles. The front section functions as a small stage, with a proscenium arch and angled walls.</p><br>
<p>The synagogue was built in the 1920s by the Conservative Beth El Congregation, which was organized c. 1920 and formerly had a synagogue on Park Place. The original design was by architect Nathan Myers, but interior work proceeded slowly after the main construction as financing permitted. The interior finishes in the sanctuary, including detailing in paneling of the bimah, were completed in the 1950s to designs by Waterbury architect Joseph Stein.</p><br>
<p>The building remained with the Beth El congregation until 2001, when the shrinking congregation sold the building and moved to Southbury.</p><br>
<p>The building was one of fifteen Connecticut synagogues added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and 1996 in response to an unprecedented multiple submission, nominating nineteen synagogues.</p><br>
<p>Beech Grove is a historic mansion in Nashville, Tennessee. Built as a log house circa 1850, it was a Southern plantation with African slaves in the Antebellum era. In the 1910s, it became a livestock farm.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land belonged to Elisha Sherrill until 1801, when Hugh Allison acquired 200 acres. Allison, who served on the Davidson County Court, owned ten African slaves. He lived on the farm with his wife, Lydia Harrison Allison, and their five children. When he died in 1835, one of his sons, Thomas Jefferson Allison, inherited the farm. He acquired more land, expanding to 1,150 acres. Additionally, he owned 22 African slaves by 1840 and 53 slaves by 1860. As a result, the farm became a Southern plantation. Allison lived on the plantation with his wife Tabitha and their six children.</p><br>
<p>The two-storey log house was built for the Allison family by Thomas Jones and Caleb Lucas, two carpenters, circa 1850. It was designed in the Greek Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, half the slaves ran away via the railroad. After the war, the remaining 20 former slaves, now freedmen, worked on the property as tenant farmers. Meanwhile, Allison and his wife continued to live in the house until he died in 1897 and she died in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Subsequently, the property was inherited by Allison&#39;s granddaughter, Allie Morton and her husband, Sam. They turned it into a livestock farm. In the 1920s, they redesigned the house in the Colonial Revival architectural style. The Mortons sold the house in 1975. It was later purchased by the Kacki family in 1993.</p><br>

<p>The Robert and Louisa Traip House is a historic house at 2 Wentworth Street  in Kittery, Maine. Built about 1839, it is a rare statewide example of a Greek Revival house with colonnaded sides. Robert Traip, its first owner, was one of Kittery&#39;s wealthiest men at the time. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Traip House is set in the village of Kittery Foreside, on the east side of Wentworth Street, between Traip Avenue and Walker Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, flushboard and clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The roof is capped by a small octagonal cupola. A two-story porch extends across the front and partially along both sides of the house, supported by fluted Doric columns. An entablature extends around the building just below the roof, and the front gable is fully pedimented, with a pair of sash windows in the center. The area under the porch is finished in flushboard, while that outside is clapboarded. The buildings corners are accentuated by pilasters. The interior retains original Greek Revival door and window trim.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house was built was purchased in 1838 by Robert Traip, and the house is presumed to have been built on it soon afterward. The house is the one of only two known in the state from the Greek Revival period to have a three-sided two-story colonnade. Traip, member of a locally prominent family, is described in surviving records as a "gentleman", with a net worth in excess of $20,000. One of Kittery&#39;s wealthiest residents, he bequested funds for the establishment of a local academy.</p><br>

<p>The W.A. Thorp House was a historically significant farmhouse in the Cleveland-area city of Mayfield Heights. Built in the 1880s for one of the first men of the township, it was named a historic site in the 1970s, but it is no longer standing.</p><br>
<p>A native of nearby Warrensville, W.A. Thorp moved to Mayfield Township at the age of thirty-one in 1863. Buying nearly 250 acre in the township, he made himself wealthy, and his fellowmen elected him a township trustee. Thorp arranged for the construction of a new house in 1886. This building combined elements of the Italianate and Stick styles then popular.</p><br>
<p>Built in the shape of the letter "L", the two-story house featured a complex gabled roof, a two-story bay window on one of the narrower gables, and balustrades at both floor and ceiling level on porches on the rear and in the ell of the main part of the house. Unusually, the weatherboarded walls were covered with siding of different sorts, and the exterior was further distinguished by elaborate woodwork under the eaves at the tops of the gables, wall boards giving the appearance of masonry beltcourses. Italianate influence was largely the result of a collection of brackets forming the cornice.</p><br>
<p>In late 1978, Thorp&#39;s house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historically significant architecture. Almost identical to its appearance at construction nearly a century earlier, the house was deemed one of the most important houses in the former Mayfield Township, both because of its well-preserved architecture and its place as the home of a significant man in local history. Despite this distinction, the house is no longer standing, having been replaced by a USA Bank branch. It officially remains listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Newton County Courthouse is located at Courthouse Square in the center of Jasper, the county seat of Newton County, Arkansas. It is a two-story masonry structure, constructed out of concrete and limestone, with restrained Art Deco styling. The building has an H shape, with a center section joining flanking projecting wings. The entrance is at the center, with "Newton County" inscribed in a panel above it, with stylized Art Deco elements. It was built in 1939 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Billing itself the "Elk Capital of Arkansas", Jasper worked with Newton County in 2017 to build a large elk statue on the courthouse lawn. Elk were native to Arkansas but had been hunted to extinction locally by the 1840s. Elk were reintroduced to the Boxley Valley area in 1981 in a cooperative program run by several agencies with local landowners. Elk hunting licenses were issued in 1998.</p><br>

<p>Belle Vue II is a historic mansion in Bellevue, a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee, USA. It was a Southern plantation worked by enslaved African Americans prior to the American Civil War of 1861–1865. After the war, it remained in the same family until the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mansion is located at 7306 Old Harding Road in Bellevue, a suburb of Nashville in Davidson County, Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house stood in this spot as a two-story log cabin prior to 1800, when James DeMoss purchased the land. DeMoss lived here with his wife, Elizabeth Newsom DeMoss. When DeMoss departed for New Orleans, Louisiana in 1820, his wealth allowed him to expand the footprint of the house. It was redesigned in the Classical Revival architectural style, with French block-printed wallpaper in the parlor. It was also renamed "Belle Vue II", which means "Beautiful View" in French, after the original Belle Vue, his brother Abraham&#39;s house on the adjoining property.</p><br>
<p>After James DeMoss died in 1848, his widow lived in the house with her son, Louis DeMoss, Jr. After the latter died, the house was inherited by his son, William E. DeMoss, a physician, who lived here with his mother. After the war, DeMoss married Tabitha Allison in 1871. When she died in 1916, the house was inherited by her nephew, T. A. Baugh. By 1947, Baugh attended electricity to the house and moved in with his wife.</p><br>
<p>In 1972, the house was purchased by Sparky Forster, with only seven acres left around the house.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jenkins House is set on the east side of Pine Street, just south of State Street in Bangor&#39;s downtown area. It is a -story wood-frame structure, roughly square in shape, with a peaked side-gable roof which has a full second story under it, and a front-facing steeply pitched gable. The main (west-facing) facade is three bays wide, with the center entrance sheltered by a portico that has turned posts, a spindled frieze, and a jigsawn balcony rail above. The flanking bays have paired sash windows framed by louvered triangles above and drip molding at the side. The sides of the house are five bays at the first floor, three at the second, and one at the attic level, all with single sash windows that have similar trim. The interior contains high-quality trim elements exhibiting a diversity of styles, including early Italianate surrounds, a Federal style staircase, and original Greek Revival chimney surrounds on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1845-46 for Charles W. Jenkins, a Falmouth native who had married a Bangor woman. His choice of style and builders was probably influenced by relatives who were in the Episcopal church, which had recently built the Gothic Revival St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church. The house is a relatively free adaptation of the principles promoted by Andrew Jackson Downing in Cottage Residences.</p><br>
<p>The Old Post Office is a historic former post office building at 35 Washington Street in Biddeford, Maine. Built in 1914, it is a fine local example of Classical Revival architecture, and a prototype for post offices built in the following decades. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It now houses commercial offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Post Office stands at the corner of Washington and Federal Streets, at the edge of Biddeford&#39;s Main Street business district. It is a single story masonry structure, built with a steel and concrete frame which is clad in red brick and granite trim. Its main facade is five bays wide, each bay articulated by granite quoining. The outer two bays house rectangular windows and are topped by stone panels, while the middle three have round-arch openings. The entrance is in the center bay, and has double doors flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature that separates it from the half-round transom window. The flat roof has a modillioned cornice and is surrounded by a balustrade. The side facade, facing Federal Street, has a simpler secondary entrance and window bays similar to the outer ones on the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect at the United States Treasury Department, then under the direction of James Knox Taylor. It was built in 1914, and its only major exterior modification has been the replacement of its original revolving front door with the present configuration, which took place in the 1930s. The design of this building is typical of later Classical Revival post offices built in the 1920s and 1930s. The building was government-owned and vacant in 1973, and now houses commercial offices.</p><br>
