<p>The Mortland Family Farm is a historic farmstead on Mortland Road in Searsport, Maine. Begun in 1834 and altered and enlarged until about 1950, it is a well-preserved example of a New England connected farmstead, a property type that has become increasingly rare in Maine. The farm, at 16.3 acre a fraction of its greatest extent, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mortland Family Farm is located in rural inland Searsport, on the east side of Mortland Road. Surviving elements of the farmstead include the 1834 Greek Revival stone Cape style farmhouse, two 19th-century barns, and wood-frame ells joining the elements. A modern (1950s) dairy shed is attached to one of the barns, and the 16.3 acre also includes a cellar hole believed to be the site of the first house on the property. The property includes two meadows, formerly in agricultural use, and a remnant apple orchard.</p><br>
<p>The property was first settled in the 1820s by the family of Samuel Mortland, an Irish immigrant, who at first lived in a crude log structure. In 1834 he built the surviving rubblestone Cape. The property was owned by five generations of Mortlands, and was sold out of the family in 1985. At its greatest extent, the farm in the 1850s consisted of more than 68 acre of land, and it is during the 1860s that the house was enlarged. The barns were added in the 1890s, one of them built with materials salvaged from a nearby older barn. In the 20th century the farm was primarily as a dairy operation.</p><br>

As Ellisville had well below 1000 residents and no railroad, most of the theatres shows were locally produced, though it was occasionally able to attract regional touring companies. As the communitys largest auditorium, the theatre also hosted other community events such as public meetings, benefit fairs and dances, and church services.</p><br>
<p>The opera house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1996.</p><br>

<p>Thornhill, also known as the Hade–Lewis House, is a plantation in Talladega County, Alabama, built beginning in 1835 by planter John Hardie. Hardie was an immigrant from Scotland, arriving in the Alabama Territory in 1818 after first spending time in New York and Virginia. He acquired the 700 acres of land for Thornhill in 1834 or 1835. The topology of the land reminded Hardie of his father&#39;s Thorn Hill Farm in Kinross, Scotland, so he named the property Thornhill.

The parish was established August 5, 1855, and worship held in the old courthouse on Canada Street. It is dedicated to Saint James, it is said, because Tuttle had been struck by the beauty of the scenery nearby, reminding him of James 1:17: "Every good and perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of Lights." By 1857, the first, wooden church was erected. This church was blown down in 1866, after which the current stone church was commissioned.</p><br>

<p>Hotel Burlington, now known as The Burlington Apartments, is a historic building located in the central business district of Burlington, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and it was included as a contributing property in the Downtown Commercial Historic District in 2015.</p><br>
<p>At the turn of the 20th-century Burlington had grown into a manufacturing town and a center for commercial travelers. In order to remain a leading commercial city in the state, the businessmen in the community saw a need for a quality hotel. They banded together and raised the $350,000 required for construction of the Hotel Burlington to serve the city&#39;s business, convention and tourist needs. Davenport architects Seth E. Temple and Parke T. Burrows designed the original seven-story L-shaped Renaissance Revival structure. It opened on February 6, 1911, with 125 guest rooms. All of the rooms had telephones and running water, and most of them had a private bath. An electric sign was placed on top of the building so that it was visible from the nearby train station.</p><br>
<p>The hotel proved so successful that a new $100,000 wing was added in 1923, in the rear, on the eastern side, giving the structure its current U-shaped form. Two more floors were added on top in 1931, at a cost of $300,000, bringing the structure to nine stories. In both instances the local businessmen funded the expansion. The hotel remained in operation with several different owners until 1980 when it went into receivership. The building was subsequently converted into an apartment building.</p><br>
<p>Abigail Vare School is a former school building located in the Pennsport neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located across from Dickinson Square Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1903–1904, and is a three-story, square stone building in the Classical Revival-style. It features a central projecting pediment with Ionic order columns and decorative Palladian window, an oversized molded cornice, and a hipped and gable roof with decorative brackets. The school was named after Abigail Vare, the mother of the three Vare Brothers (including William Scott Vare), who became politicians and contractors.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>In December 2012 Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. presented a proposal that would close the George Washington School and move Abigail Vare School into Washingtons building. At the time Washingtons building was in a better condition compared to Vares, while the Vare school had an academic performance superior to that of Washingtons. In March 2013, the school district voted to close Washington. Abigail Vare School moved from its previous building to the former Washington building, and it is now known as Vare-Washington School.</p><br>
<p>After Washington-Vare moved to the former Washington school, the former Vare school remained vacant. The school district and the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation listed the Vare building for $2.5 million. Concordia Group, a company headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, acquired the Vare building, along with Germantown High School and three other schools, for $6.8 million. The SRC voted on this sale in September 2014.</p><br>
<p>In 2015 Concordia Group announced that it wished to construct six townhouses next to the former Vare building and also convert Vare itself into 45 apartment units. The developer engaged in a community meeting with area residents, and it reduced the number of units to 41, in addition to reducing the amount of parking.</p><br>
<p>Orange Vale, also known as the Lawler-Whiting House, is a Greek Revival plantation house completed in 1854 near Talladega, Alabama. The house was the centerpiece of a 3,000 acre cotton plantation, a forced-labor farm worked by black people enslaved by the land&#39;s white owners.</p><br>
<p>The house is principally associated with Levi Lawler, an Alabama state legislator, who principally used it during the summer. The house is a formal two-story frame structure with a hexastyle square-columned portico across the front, supporting a heavy paneled entablature. There is no pediment. The hipped roof is flanked by interior chimneys. Small flat-roofed one-story pavilions flank the house on either side and extend beyond the rear of the house. The rear has two-level porches across the width. The interior has a center-hall plan with the hall extending to the back porch. 108 acre remain of the original property, with seven other buildings.</p><br>
<p>Orange Vale was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Burlington and Missouri River Railroad Passenger Station is a historic building located in Burlington, Iowa, United States. The station was built by the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad in 1856. It is the oldest train depot in the upper Midwest that is still standing west of the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<p>The building served as a passenger station until 1868 when the railroad bridge over the Mississippi River was completed and a larger station in Burlington was required. Prior to that year a transfer ferry boat, the President, carried railroad cars and passengers across the river in warmer weather. Passengers would have to walk across the river ice in winter. The railroad continued to use the building for office space until 1884. In that year the frame, Italianate structure was moved from its Main and Market Streets location so the railroad tracks could be widened. After its use by the railroad, it was converted into a residence. The house that presently sits next door to this one is the old baggage building that was moved at the same time and converted for residential use. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>St. Andres Parish is a former parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, located on Bacon and Sullivan Streets in Biddeford, Maine, USA. The parish was founded in 1860 to serve the citys large French-Canadian and French-American communities. On July 1, 2008, St. Andres was merged into the newly formed Good Shepherd Parish. The parish complex of four buildings, including the church, rectory, convent and school, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015, at which time most of it stood vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The buildings of St. Andres are located near the junction of Bacon and Sullivan Streets, south of Biddefords central business district.

The rectory is a fine example of Second Empire architecture, although it is an extremely late example of this style, having been built in 1900. Arrayed on Sullivan Street behind the rectory are the Colonial Revival convent (built 1916 and enlarged in 1930), and the former school (built in the 1920s), with a large parking area occupying much of the remainder of the property.</p><br>
<p>St. Andres was founded as Biddefords third Catholic church, after St. Marys and St. Josephs. St. Marys was founded in 1855 to support a large immigrant Irish community and St. Josephs was established in 1860 to support the growing French-Canadian immigrant population. The latter population continued to grow and, by the 1890s, had outgrown its facilities. St. Andres was founded in 1899 and was located in the heart of what was then a French Canadian neighborhood, with Rev. Louis Bergeron as its priest. The basement of the church was built in 1900 and services were held there until the church building was completed in 1910. The school operated until the early 1990s, and was converted into housing in 1998. The church continued to serve the Good Shepherd Parish community until it was formally closed with a final mass on New Years Eve, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Green River Crib Dam is a historic 19th-century dam on the Green River in western Guilford, Vermont. Built about 1811, it is a reminder of the modest industrial enterprises once conducted in the area using the water power it provided, and is one of the state&#39;s few surviving crib dams. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The dam is located in far western Guilford, upstream of the Green River Covered Bridge, which spans the Green River at the junction of Green River Road with Jacksonville Stage Road. The dam is about 110 ft long, with a maximum height of 10.5 ft, and spans the river in a semicircle open to the downstream side. The material of the dam mostly logs and rubble, with plank facing. The abutments of the dam are now a combination of stone and concrete, the wing wall on the east side extending downstream toward the bridge, where it formed part of the foundation of a now-destroyed mill.</p><br>
<p>The earliest recorded documentation of a dam on this site dates to 1811, when Jonah Cutting is known to have a paper and linseed oil mill operating at the site. Some of the materials of the present dam may well date to this period. By 1856 the mill is only documented as being used for paper production. In 1869 a major flood apparently damaged the mill beyond repair, and it may also have damaged the dam; it washed out the bridge then standing just downstream. In 1871 Henry Stowe erected a lumber and grist mill on the site, which operated until 1918, when it was destroyed by fire. The dam has since then been maintained by private owners, forming a picturesque part of the small Green River village and a reminder of its modest industrial past.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Hanger House is a historic house at 1010 Scott Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with complex massing and exterior typical of the Queen Anne style. It is topped by a gable-on-hip roof, from which numerous gables project, including two to the front, and has walls sheathed in clapboards and bands of decorative cut shingles. A porch extends across the front, supported by turned posts, with a balustrade of wooden circles joined by posts to each other and the supporting posts. It was built in 1889 for one of Little Rock&#39;s most prominent businessmen of the period, and is a particularly little-altered example of the Queen Anne style in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Hardy House is a historic house at 2400 Broadway in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick structure, with flanking single-story wings and a roof that is designed to resemble an English country house&#39;s thatched roof. The entrance is set in a centrally located stone round arch, with a multipart segmented-arch window above. The house was designed by Charles L. Thompson and built in 1921.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Harris House is a historic house at 6507 Fourche Dam Pike in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a single-story stuccoed structure, designed in an ecelctic interpretation of Spanish Revival architecture. Prominent features include a circular tower at one corner, a parapet obscuring its sloping flat roof, and a port-cochere with a segmented-arch opening supported by battered wooden columns. It was built in 1924 for Florence and Porter Field Harris, to their design and probably the work of Porter Harris, a master plasterer known for his work on the Arkansas State Capitol.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Rudy-Kodzoff House is a historic house at 2865 Mendenhall Loop Road in Juneau, Alaska. It is a concrete structure with Craftsman/Bungalow styling, built in 1915 for Charles Rudy, one of the first settlers of the Mendenhall Valley. It is the only surviving building of that period in the valley. It presently houses the offices and owner&#39;s residence of a mobile home park developed by Kodzoff family.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Freight House, also known as the Rock Island Freight House, is a historic building located in Burlington, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The freight house was built by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad (BCR&N) in 1898. It replaced a smaller brick freight house that had been built in 1873. The freight house is the only remaining structure from the BCR&N left in Burlington, and the only Victorian structure remaining on the riverfront. The railroads shops had been located further north in an area called "The Bottoms." Its original passenger depot was located in a commercial building that was located at Jefferson and Front Streets. It moved into the CB&Qs Union Depot further south along the riverfront where the Amtrak station is now located. The BCR&N, with passenger and freight service between Minneapolis and St. Louis was considered the most important north-south rail</p><br>
<p>line in Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The freight house is a two-story brick structure with a single-story wing on the north side. Freight from the trains passed through the seven bays on the east side, while freight from wagons, and later trucks, passed through the seven bays on the west side. Freight from riverboats on the Mississippi River was also transferred onto trains at this facility.</p><br>
<p>The Gorham Historic District encompasses the traditional central civic area of Gorham, Maine. Incorporated in 1764, the town center is composed of a small cluster of civic and commercial buildings at School and Main Streets, with some residential properties radiating away. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the district abuts the Gorham Campus Historic District, the historic core of the campus of the University of Southern Maine.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Gorham is located northwest of Portland, Maine, inland from the coast of southern Maine. The towns early settlement began in the 1730s, but it did not grow significantly until the 1750s. By then, the area that is now the center had begun to take shape, with School Street (Maine State Route 114) running north–south, and Main Street (United States Route 202) running east–west, accompanied by a small grid of side streets. The only surviving 18th-century buildings in the town center are the First Congregational Church (1797), and a 1760s house that was moved into the center area in the 1830s. The remaining buildings were built mostly in the 19th century, in a variety of styles. The towns growth was influenced by the founding of Gorham Academy, which opened in 1806, and whose campus, located immediately northwest of the center, is now home to the University of Southern Maine. Most of the buildings in the district are residential houses built of wood; there are a few prominent brick commercial buildings located on School Street and at its junction with Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly L-shaped, extending from the junction of School and Main north and west, including properties on the north side of Main Street between School and Academy Streets, on the south side of College Avenue between those two streets, and along School Street from Main to a point a short way north of Church Street. It covers about 25 acre, and includes 42 buildings, all of which are historically significant.</p><br>
<p>The Skinny House in Mamaroneck, New York, was built in 1932 by African-American carpenter and building contractor Nathan Thomas Seely on an extremely narrow lot of donated land after he lost his home to foreclosure and his company to bankruptcy during the early years of the Great Depression. The 10 ft wide house has 3 stories and was built on a 12.5 ft wide plot of land sold to him by his neighbor, to whom he had earlier sold a larger plot of land. The house was constructed entirely from salvaged materials. The New York State Board for Historic Preservation noted “its efficient and beautiful design, careful engineering, and effective interior plan. Challenged by a narrow lot and minimal financial means, Seely created a house that demonstrated both his ingenuity and the desire to provide, above all else, housing for his family.” The Westchester County Historical Society said “its professional construction and ingenious design are a testimony to the dedication of a prominent black contractor to build a solid, functional, and delightful home. It represents both black enterprise and good neighborliness, and is architecturally significant as a symbol of American ingenuity and craftsmanship.”</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the mid-1910s, Nathan and Lillian Seely moved to the Washingtonville neighborhood of Mamaroneck, New York. The neighborhood was home to a community of first-generation immigrants predominantly Italian, and African-American families who moved to Westchester County as a result of the Great Migration.</p><br>
<p>In 1925 Nathan Seely and his brother Willard founded Seely Brothers Inc., a construction company that aimed to build for African-American clients. Seely hired Italian masons from the Washingtonville neighborhood, as well as African-American laborers for the companys projects. Seely Brothers purchased 11 lots within the Washingtonville neighborhood and built several homes, including Nathan Seelys own house, a seven-room house that he had designed and built in 1926 on Grand Street for his own family. The house “showcased many amenities considered very modern at the time,” according to the submission to the National Park Service, which oversees the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>During the Great Depression Seely lost both his house and his company. In 1931, his neighbor Panfilo Santangelo, an Italian immigrant and stonemason, gave Nathan a twelve-and-a-half-foot strip of land between the Santangelo home and the former Seely home for Seely to build upon. The land that Santangelos house sat upon had been previously purchased by him from Seely and ran between the two mens houses, including the property Mr. Seely lost when the Depression began.</p><br>
<p>Mr. Seely died in 1962. Family members lived in the house until 1986, and it was bought by the daughter of the man who originally gave the land to Seely, Ida Santangelo, in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>With little money to purchase new building materials, Mr. Seely salvaged and recycled building materials including railroad ties, windows, banisters and even a chicken coop to incorporate into his house. Seely designed and constructed his family&#39;s new home maximizing its utility by building a basement, two stories, and an attic. He also devised numerous built-ins and windows for natural lighting to give the impression of more interior space. He built the three ornate gables in the front facing facade, and added a ledge for flowerpots just under the second-level window</p><br>
<p>The 10 ft wide by 39 ft long, 27 ft tall, hip roofed, wood shingled home is set on a 12.5 ft by 100 ft property. The house is positioned approximately 20 ft back from the modern set back line on which the surrounding homes are built in order to maximize light exposure, and it is visible from the New England Thruway, Interstate 95. The Skinny House is sheathed in red brown wood shingles unifying the facades that are punctuated with a variety of windows and doors, which are trimmed in white painted wood. The main hip roof, first floor gable roof with a modified dormer, and entry gable roofs are of asphalt shingles. There are cables on the sides of the home to anchor it to the ground. Two railroad ties serving as beams run through the cellar. The sewer pipe is supported by finished marble. The house was heated with coal stoves on each floor. Floor grates allow heat to rise to the bedrooms. In the cellar there remains one original pot-bellied stove, coal chute and pails. One brick chimney on the west side of the house supports all of the stoves. The interior is finely finished with plaster and hardwood floors and moldings and woodwork throughout.</p><br>
<p>The Grand Street home is one of a number of renowned “skinny houses” in the United States, including ones in Long Beach, California, Boston, Massachusetts and Deerfield, Illinois. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the "Smallest House in Amsterdam" at 22 Oude Hoogstraat is purported to be the narrowest house in Europe. That was constructed in 1733 and stands just 2.02 m wide. at only 133 cm at its widest point however it is too narrow to be considered a residence under Polish law so it is considered to be an art installation.</p><br>
<h2>Landmark status</h2><br>
<p>The house was designated by the local county historical society as a landmark in 1991 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The Skinny House is privately owned and is not open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Seely&#39;s great-granddaughter, Dr. Julie Seely, wrote a screenplay titled “Skinny House” in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Lagomarcino-Grupe Company, also known as Rand & Coolbaugh&#39;s Block, is a historic building located in the central business district of Burlington, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and it was included as a contributing property in the Downtown Commercial Historic District in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The three-story, brick commercial building was constructed in 1868 in the Renaissance Revival style. The main facade is 14 bays wide with a round arch window in each bay on the top two floors. Brick corbelling is located at the cornice level. The first floor was originally divided into four commercial spaces. Rand & Coolbaughs Block refers to the structures original owners. The buildings has had a variety of tenants including spirit&#39;s wholesalers, cigar manufacturing, ice cream saloon, haberdasher, dry goods, a printer, and a freight line. Hotel rooms for the Hotel Duncan across the alley were located on the upper floors for a time. The building has long been associated with the Lagomarcino-Grupe Company from 1892 to 1964. The wholesale fruit business was established in Burlington in 1875 and moved into the east half of the building in 1892. By 1907 they both owned and occupied the whole building. Lagomarcino-Grupe expanded to ten locations, but Burlington remained the main location. They also expanded into soda fountains and supplies, began manufacturing ice cream, and by the 1950s they were distributing Budweiser in Burlington. In 1964 they consolidated with the Benner Tea Company, and vacated this building two years later. Lagomarcino-Grupe sold the building to Benner in 1970, who then sold it to George Coffin the same year. The building has subsequently housed other businesses.</p><br>
<p>Schramm Building, also known as Jochims Building, is a historic building located in the central business district of Burlington, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and it was included as a contributing property in the Downtown Commercial Historic District in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The brick commercial building was constructed in 1878 in a Late Victorian Gothic Revival style. It is a three-story structure for the front 68 ft and then two-story from that point to the rear of the building. An ornamental cornice tops the facade, and each of the front windows feature ornamental trim. The building next door (214 Jefferson Street) has a twin facade to this building. This building housed the first dry-goods millinery store in Burlington. A mesh concrete veneer was placed over the facade in the late 1950s. The storefront on the main level was altered in the 1960s. In the 1970s it was part of a complex of six buildings that housed the J.S. Schramm Department Store. The building was extensively renovated in 1995. The facade was restored, and the second floor was renovated to create an apartment.</p><br>
<p>The Grafton Village Historic District encompasses the historic village center of the town of Grafton, Vermont. The village was developed in the early-to-mid 19th century, and has retained the character of that period better than many small communities in the state. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now Grafton was first chartered in 1754, but only began to see permanent settlement in the late 1770s, in the towns Middletown section. Grafton Village developed around the confluence of two branches of the Saxtons River, a tributary of the Connecticut River. The first house, a brick structure built about 1795 by Enos Lovell, still stands in the village, and was followed by mills and mill dams on the two rivers, of which only traces now survive. The network of major roads radiating from this area began to take shape then as well. Early development was focused in the area around Kidder Hill Road, while in the second quarter of the 19th century the village center gradually migrated northward, anchored by the construction of the Congregational Church in 1834 and the relocation of its post office in 1841 into what is now the town hall. Graftons building and economic good times ended about 1870, with little new development taking place until the 20th century, when tourism provided a significant boost to the economy. This boost was accompanied by a strong preservationist drive, resulting in the maintenance of the village&#39;s 19th century character.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompasses essentially the entire developed area of Grafton village. Its rough southern and northeastern boundaries are the two branches of the Saxtons River, extending east of the north branch along Chester Road and Route 121 East, and extending a short way westward along Houghtonville, Middletown, and Hinckley Brook Roads. Many of the buildings in the village are Federal and Greek Revival in character, or are in 20th-century revival styles that are sympathetic. Most are wood frame structures between 1 and three stories in height, although there are a variety of brick buildings as well. A number of buildings have Italianate and later Victorian style. Very few of the historic buildings have been altered in unsympathetic ways, such as the application of synthetic siding or the installation of vinyl windows. The streetscape is also devoid of significant modern intrusions such as utility poles.</p><br>
<p>Six properties in the district are individually listed on the National Register. The Kidder Covered Bridge is the town&#39;s only surviving covered bridge, and the Butterfield House (now the library) and the Milldean and Alexander-Davis House are two architecturally significant houses. The Grafton Congregational Church and Chapel, former Grafton Post Office, and Grafton District Schoolhouse No. 2, are all significant for their civic history as well as architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Grout House is a historic house on Western Avenue at Bonnyvale Road in West Brattleboro, Vermont. Built in about 1880 for a widely traveled minister, it is a well-preserved and somewhat late example of Gothic Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Grout House stands at the northwest corner of Bonnyvale Road and Western Avenue (Vermont Route 9), on a generous lot in the village of West Brattleboro. It is a 1-3/4 story wood-frame structure, with a steeply pitched cross-gable roof that shelters a full second floor and a smaller attic. The front facade, facing Western Avenue, is five bays wide on the ground floor, three on the second, and one on the third. A single-story porch extends across the center three bays, supported by cruciform posts, and sporting stickwork balustrades at the ground floor and around the roof. Windows on the upper levels have elongated pyramidal hood decorations, roughly matching in angle the roof pitch. There is Stick style decorate woodwork at the gable peaks.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1880 for Rev. Lewis Grout (1815-1905), a Yale graduate and missionary Congregationalist minister who spent 15 years at a remote missionary station in the Zulu country of South Africa. On his return to the US he wrote Zulu-Land: Or, Life Among the Zulu-Kafirs of Natal, South Africa (London: Trübner, 1864). The house&#39;s architecture appears to be influenced to some degree by British colonial architecture of that period, and is extremely unusual in Vermont, where there are only a limited number of Gothic Revival houses to be found.</p><br>
<p>The North Branch Historic District is a historic district located in North Branch, Somerset County, New Jersey. It is on the western side of the North Branch of the Raritan River in Branchburg Township. The district reflects the 18th and 19th century architecture of this agricultural community, once built around a mill on the North Branch. A main feature is the stone house of Jacob Ten Eyck, with its Georgian influences. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 2012, for its significance in architecture and community development.</p><br>
<h2>Jacob Ten Eyck house</h2><br>
<p>In 1700, Matthias Ten Eyck (1658–1741), a farmer from Old Hurley, Ulster County, New York and son of Coenradt Ten Eyck, purchased 400 acres north of North Branch from John Johnston, and another 100 acres in 1702. In 1721, Matthias sold this property to his son Jacob Ten Eyck (1693–1753). Jacob settled here and built a -story stone house between 1725 and 1733. His first son Jacob Ten Eyck (1733–1794) inherited the house and later, in 1792, built a second story onto it.</p><br>

<p>The Pine Bluff Confederate Monument has long been located in front of the Jefferson County courthouse, at Barraque and Main Streets in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It depicts a standing Confederate Army soldier, holding a rifle whose butt rests on the ground. The statue, built out of Georgia marble by the McNeel Marble Company, stands on a stone base 15 ft in height and 10 x at the base. It was placed in 1910 by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.</p><br>
<p>The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The statue was then moved to an undisclosed location for storage where it can be cleaned and repaired.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Bluff Commercial Historic District encompasses a portion of the historic city center of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It extends from Barraque Street south along Main Street, extending in places to properties alongside streets. The area&#39;s commercial development began about 1840, when the courthouse square was laid out at Barraque and Main, and proceeded through the early 20th century. Most of the commercial properties of the district were built between 1880 and 1910, and are reflective architecturally of late 19th-century commercial building styles.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Properties previously listed on the Register and included in the district are the Merchants and Planters Bank Building, Union Station, the Community Theatre, the Masonic Temple, and the Hotel Pines.</p><br>
<p>The Healey and Roth Mortuary Building is a historic commercial building located at 815 Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas.

<p>The Hemingway House is a historic house at 1720 Arch Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with complex massing and exterior typical of the Queen Anne period. A projecting bay on the left has a distinctive array of arched windows on the first floor, and a projecting trio of sash windows set in a bracket-supported surround, with a Palladian window in the gable above. The house colors were selected with the assistance of "Dr. Color," Bob Buckter, noted San Francisco color consultant, earning it a place in the 1994 book, Americas Painted Ladies: The Ultimate Celebration of Our Victorians." The porch has delicate turned posts, in a distinctive tapered shape with flared bases and knobs at the top. The house was designed by the noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson and construction was completed in 1894. The Hemingway House is one of the oldest examples of Thompsons work that is still standing.</p><br>
<p>The property on which the house sits was purchased in 1890 by Wilson E. Hemingway, then serving as a Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court, and his wife Helen. Judge Hemingway resigned from the Court in 1893 and entered private practice with U. M. Rose and, his son, George B. Rose, forming what was then called Rose, Hemingway and Rose. Today, it is the Rose Law Firm. Judge Hemingway remained a partner in the firm until his death in 1922.</p><br>
<p>The Hemingway House was sold in the 1920s, falling into disrepair as a boarding house. Its deterioration was halted in 1982, when it was purchased by Mr. Charles Hogan, who meticulously restored the carriage house and the exterior of the main residence, with the help of Witsell, Evans & Rasco, Architects. Work continued on the interior of the house when it was purchased by Scott and Sharon Mosley in 1986. The couple completed the interior restoration and landscaping, living in the residence until 2010. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
