<p>The Gilkey Bridge is a covered bridge in Linn County in the USA state of Oregon. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Thomas Creek – Gilkey Covered Bridge in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Carrying Goar Road, the bridge crosses Thomas Creek about 3.5 mi southwest of Scio. Gilkey Bridge and a covered railroad bridge next to it crossed the creek at the former community of Gilkey.</p><br>
<p>Gilkey was a station on the Southern Pacific Railway line between Crabtree and Shelburn. The station, established in 1880, was named for Allen and William Gilkey. Allen Gilkey came to Oregon in the early 1850s and settled nearby.</p><br>
<p>The bridge, 120 ft long, was constructed in 1939. Damaged by an overloaded vehicle in 1997, it was closed for repairs, then reopened to traffic in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Just nine years later, the bridge was damaged again. Scot McKillop, an employee of Fisher Implements, left a service call at a nearby farm and was enroute to Albany when he started to cross the bridge. The hydraulic boom, which had been left extended, snapped power lines before it crashed into the bridge cover. The truck traveled three-quarters of the way across the bridge where it stopped, stuck sideways. There were no injuries, the truck was moved in about 5 hours, and the bridge lost about 50% of its load capacity.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was rehabilitated in 2017 in a $1.6 million project.</p><br>
<p>Lancaster School is a preserved 1881 two-story schoolhouse located in rural Keokuk County, Iowa, United States southeast of the county seat of Sigourney.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lancaster School is the last remaining public building in what was the former county seat of Lancaster. It occupies the ground that was the courthouse square. The school was one of six two-story buildings built by the county for educational purposes in the 1870s and early 1880s. They required two teachers, and were therefore more expensive to operate. This building was constructed in 1881 by Reynolds Bros. It replaced a school building that had been built further east in 1874. It is a two-story frame structure that measures 33 by. The pedimented entry faces the south, and there is a belfry above the gable. A single classroom is located on the northern two-thirds of both floors. The town of Lancaster at one time had 32 buildings, but it started to decline in the 20th century. Enrollment in the school was 119 in 1898, but fell to about thirty early in the 20th century. When it closed in 1964 there were 13 students enrolled, and by that time they only utilized the first floor. The former school building, one of the churches and a few houses are all that remain of Lancaster. The building has been used in subsequent years as a voting facility. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Theodore White House, also known as the White Sisters House, is located in South English, Iowa, United States. Theodore White was a local merchant who operated a general store. The family operated White State Bank from 1908 to 1919. He had this house built in 1900, and it remained in the family until the early 1970s. The house is a transitional Queen Anne, which is unique in South English for both its scale and style. The two-story, frame house features a corner tower with a conical roof, a wrap-around porch built on brick piers, and pedimented dormers on the hip roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Bruce Goldfish Fisheries is located in rural Keokuk County, Iowa, United States east of the village of Thornburg. The fishery was founded in 1877 and ended operations in the 1940s. It became listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was established in 1877 by Elgin K. Bruce, who had started raising goldfish in Pittsburgh in 1845. His son, E.K. Bruce, Jr., took over the business in 1900 and he had the 1½-story, frame, Queen Anne-Neoclassical style house completed in 1910.</p><br>
<p>At one time, the Bruce Goldfish Fisheries consisted of twenty-four ponds, nine windmills, two fish houses, a storage house, barn, garage and two cement tanks sunk in the ground. The tanks were used to display the fish for public tours, and to sort them before they were shipped. The heyday of the business was in the 1920s, shipping goldfish across the United States and around the world.</p><br>
<p>Tariff protections were removed in 1933 and the American market was opened to less expensive Japanese fish. The effects of the Great Depression also led to the rapid decline of the business. E.K. Bruce, Jr. died in 1936 and the family tried to continue the operation, but it came to an end in the early 1940s. The Bruce family remained on the property until 1978. The house and some of the ponds remain on the property. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The James Buchanan House is a historic log house in Nashville, Tennessee. It was built circa 1800 by James Buchanan, an early Nashville pioneer and signer of the 1789 Cumberland Compact. It&#39;s one of the earliest log homes still in existence in the area and is open to the public. The logs were hewn from Tennessee red cedars and nearly-extinct American chestnut trees. The floors were formed from Tennessee poplars and rest on a Tennessee limestone foundation. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 29, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Cole House is a historic house in Nashville, Tennessee. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 27, 1974. The original portion of the Cole House at 2001 Lebanon Pike and shown on Wilbur Foster&#39;s 1871 Map of Davidson County, is reputed to have been constructed c.1859. According to local legend and family tradition, Edmund Cole constructed the front portions of this structure for his first wife who died in 1869. The house is significant as an example of early Tennessee vernacular architecture and is the only one of three Cole residence remaining.</p><br>
<p>The George Ulmer House is a historic house at 3 South Cobbtown Road in Lincolnville, Maine. Built in 1799, it was the largest and most elaborate house in the area at the time. It was built for George Ulmer, who oversaw the rise and fall of a small business empire on the adjacent Ducktrap River between 1784 and 1812. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ulmer House stands at the northeast corner of South Cobbtown Road and United States Route 1, just east of the Ducktrap River north of the village of Lincolnville. Sited on a rise above and back from US 1, it is an imposing presence, with views down the river to Penobscot Bay. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a five bay facade, hip roof, clapboard siding, and stone foundation. The main entrance is at the center of the south-facing facade, sheltered by a hip-roofed porch that extends across the two flanking bays. A secondary entrance is located in a projecting vestibule on the west side. The interior retains original plaster and woodwork, including a high quality central hall staircase. The interior was divided into two units for many years, resulting in some loss of historic integrity.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1799 for George Ulmer, who was then one of the wealthiest men in Hancock County (the area was separated to form Waldo County in 1827). Ulmer was politically well connected, serving as land agent for Henry Knox, and was able to leverage connections to financiers in Boston, Massachusetts to build a small lumber-driven empire on land he acquired from Knox at a discount in exchange for his services. Ulmer used the power he held as land agent (Knox was in the 1790s the areas largest landowner) to his own benefit, but was also seen with disfavor by the areas smaller landholders, who took offense at his and Knoxs business practices. In several instances acts of vandalism against his business premises resulted in direct financial losses, and his first mansion, built in 1796, was destroyed by fire whose origin is uncertain. Ulmers finances began to collapse when his mills were destroyed by spring flooding in 1807, with the replacement mills also destroyed the following December. Ulmer lost his house, to foreclosure in 1812.</p><br>
<p>Ulmer&#39;s house was converted into two family not long after he lost it, and remained that way until 1999, when a new owner reintegrated the two sides. It is unclear whether differences in the styling of some of the upstairs rooms are the result of changes made by later owners, or if they were left unfinished by Ulmer due to his growing financial problems.</p><br>
<p>The W.P. Fletcher House is a historic house at 604 West Fourth Street in Lonoke, Arkansas. It is a -story L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a hip-roofed main block and a gabled ell to the rear. It is clad in weatherboard and set on a foundation of brick piers. A hip-roofed single-story porch extends across two sides, with gabled sections on each side. The oldest portion of the house is the ell, which was built about 1880, with the main block added in 1903. The 1903 Colonial Revival house was built for William P.

The district includes a two-block section of Main Street, anchored at its southern end by the Cobb Cotton Gin complex, and on the north by Arkansas Highway 232, where it extends a short way in both directions. The community grew around the Cotten Belt Railroad line, which Main Street was laid out just west of. The cotton gin complex has its origins in 1906, as a means for local farmers to process their cotton and send it on to market via the railroad.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Sears House is a historic house on Moss Lane, southeast of the junction of Arkansas Highways 38 and 319 in Austin, Arkansas.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in July 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Crooker House stands at the northwest corner of South and Middle Streets, in what was in the mid-19th century a fashionable upland neighborhood on the Bath&#39;s south side. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboard siding, and ells extending the main block to the north side. The house is oriented facing east (toward Middle Street), and has a two-story colonnade of fluted Corinthian columns across its five-bay front facade. The main entrance is in the center bay, flanked by sidelight windows, and there is a glass door with flanking sidelights above it on the second floor, giving access to a wrought iron balcony. The main block is encircled by an entablature, and there are gabled dormers in both roof faces, featuring fully pedimented gables and three-part Palladian windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1850 by Isaac D. Cole, a prominent local builder and architect. The house is distinctive among high-style Greek Revival houses in Maine for the use of Corinthian columns, and for their placement on the roof side of the house instead of the gable. It was built for William D. Crooker, whose family was prominent in local businesses, operating a shipyard and merchant ships as well as lumber interests.</p><br>
<p>The Chitwood Bridge is a covered bridge in Lincoln County in the USA state of Oregon. The bridge carries Chitwood Road, off USA Route 20, over the Yaquina River at Chitwood.</p><br>
<p>Historically, Chitwood was a station on the railway line between Corvallis and Toledo. It was named for Joshua Chitwood, who lived nearby during construction of the railway, 1881–85. Trains still use the railway, but they no longer stop in Chitwood.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln County built the covered bridge in 1926. Scheduled for demolition, it was instead improved in 1984 through a federally funded restoration project. The Howe truss bridge is 96 ft long.</p><br>
<p>The Bradford Farm Historic District encompasses a historic farm property in Patten, Maine. Located on the west side of Maine State Route 11 on the north side of the village center, it includes a nearly-intact farm complex, with buildings dating from the 1840s to the 20th century. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The farmhouse is now the Bradford House Bed and Breakfast.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Patten is located in the remote interior of Maine, in northern Penobscot County. The Bradford Farm complex occupies about 16 acre just north of the village center. The main complex is located on the west side of Maine State Route 11, the main north-south route through the county, and the associated farmlands extend west and north to Maine State Route 159, which provides access to the northern end of Baxter State Park. The main feature of the farm complex is its 19th-century connected farmstead, which includes a c. 1845 Greek Revival house, connected via ells to a barn complex, whose oldest element is an English barn of similar vintage. Other buildings include a 19th-century potato house and wagon shed.</p><br>
<p>The township that became Patten was first settled in the 1830s, and Patten was incorporated in 1841. The Bradford Farm property, originally a full lot of 160 acre, was first owned by David Haynes, who is credited with building the earliest portions of the extant complex. The property was purchased in 1893 by Ezekiel Bradford, whose family worked the land for 105 years. The Bradfords operated the property primarily as a dairy farm, adding and extending buildings to meet a variety of needs. In 1998 the farmhouse was converted into a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<p>The Wheelock House is a historic house at 1096 Vermont Route 30 in Townshend, Vermont. Built in stages in the mid-19th century, it exhibits an unusual combination of Greek Revival and southern Gothic Revival features that is not otherwise known in Vermont. It is also possible that parts of the house were built using slave labor, an extremely rare occurrence in the state. The property, which now houses an art gallery, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wheelock House is located in southern Townshend, on the east side of Vermont Route 30 about 1 mi south of the village center. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, two interior brick chimneys, and a granite foundation. It is set on a rise overlooking the road and the nearby West River. The corners of the building have paneled pilasters with molded capitals, rising to a narrow modillioned frieze. A single-story porch extends across the center three bays of the main facade, supported by octagonal tapered columns rising to a richly carved entablature. The main entrance is framed by sidelight and transom windows. The interior retains original plaster and woodwork of high quality, including a straight-run central staircase whose railings run continuously up to the attic level.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house is believed to be its kitchen ell, which was probably built about 1820 by a member of the Wood family, who had owned the property since 1779. In 1839 the property was sold to Caleb Wheelock, whose son Allen is credited with construction of the major portion of the house in the late 1850s. Allen Wheelock spent several years in Natchez, Mississippi, where he administered an estate and apparently acquired significant wealth, including four slaves. The house incorporates some design features and building practices that are more typical of the South than they are of Vermont, and some of its decorative materials (notably the porch columns) may have been brought north. Local folklore includes unconfirmed stories that the Wheelock slaves were involved in its construction.</p><br>
<p>The Pence-Carmichael Farm, Barn and Root Cellar are a pair of historic farm outbuildings in rural western White County, Arkansas. They are located just east of the hamlet of Romance, off Arkansas Highway 31 on Carmichael Lane. The barn is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a weatherboarded exterior and stone pier foundation. It has an unusual internal layout, with a transverse crib plan that has a cross-gabled drive, and a side shed extension. The root cellar is a single-story stone structure with a flat roof; it is one of the county&#39;s rare early 20th-century stone farm outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Plummer House is a historic house at 314 Alabama Street in Beebe, Arkansas. It is a single story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, novelty siding, and a foundation of stone piers. It is a vernacular double-pile box framed building, constructed about 1915. It is a well-preserved example of this type of period construction in White County.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Powell Clothing Store is a historic commercial building at 201 North Main Street in Beebe, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick building, built about 1885 in what was then the city&#39;s economic heart. It is a basically vernacular structure, with modest brick corbelling on the cornice and panels of the front facade. It is one of only a few commercial buildings to survive in the city from that period.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The North Fork of the Yachats Bridge is a covered bridge in Lincoln County in the USA state of Oregon. The bridge carries North Fork Yachats River Road over the north fork of the Yachats River, about 9 mi northeast  of Yachats and the Pacific Ocean.</p><br>
<p>Otis Hamer, a veteran constructor of bridges, built the queen post truss structure for Lincoln County in 1938. It was the last of his covered bridges.</p><br>
<p>At 42 ft long, the bridge is one of the shortest covered bridges in Oregon. It is one of only two covered bridges in Lincoln County that are open to vehicular traffic; the other is the Chitwood Bridge. The weight limit on the bridge is ten tons; large trucks and recreational vehicles (RV)s are not allowed.</p><br>
<p>After an accident damaged the bridge in 1987, county crews repaired it. They returned in 1989 for a more complete renovation, including new trusses, approaches, a new roof and new siding.</p><br>
<p>The W. J. Armstrong Company Wholesale Grocers Building is a historic warehouse in Waseca, Minnesota, United States, constructed around the year 1900. It was built to house a wholesale grocery business and placed to take advantage of the nearby Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway tracks. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of commerce and transportation. It was nominated for being one of the best preserved trackside buildings associated with Waseca&#39;s economic development as a rail hub. The building is now part of the Miller–Armstrong Center, a redeveloped complex containing restaurants, a conference center, and lodging.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Constructed of red brick, the rectangular building rises three stories and has some decorative brickwork along the roofline. The property was designed with a small front lawn to blend into what was at the time a mixed commercial and residential neighborhood, owing to the early-20th-century need of workers to live close to their places of employment.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Situated at the junction of the Winona and St. Peter Railroad and the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway by 1867, Waseca quickly attracted many businesses and industries wishing easy access to rail transportation. W. J. Armstrong Company Wholesale Grocers built their warehouse around 1900, served by its own rail siding. The building continued to house a wholesale grocery business at the time of the property&#39;s National Register nomination in 1982, though truck transportation had long since replaced trains.</p><br>
<p>The Whitingham Village Historic District encompasses much of the current village center of Whitingham, Vermont. It was developed mainly in the second half of the 19th century around industries powered by local water sources, and includes well-preserved architecture from that period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The present village of Whitingham was established in 1822, when a mineral spring with supposed healing properties was found in the area. Sadawga Brook, which feeds the Deerfield River via Harriman Reservoir, drops substantially after leaving Sadawga Lake, and provided a source of water power for industries. By 1840 the village included a gristmill, sawmill, and wood turning shop, along with a small cluster of homes. This economic growth led to the villages increasing importance, resulting in the movement of the towns civic center there from a nearby hill in the 1860s. The village began to decline economically in the early decades of the 20th century, and the sites of some of its mills were flooded by the construction of Harriman Dam in 1924, while others succumbed to fire.</p><br>
<p>The historic village center is stretched along Vermont Route 100, roughly between Sadawga Lake Road and Brook Street, and extends north along School Street almost to Maple Drive. A few properties on Brook Street and Stimpson Hill Road that lie adjacent to these are also included. Most of the buildings in the district are residential wood frame structures, in vernacular interpretations of the Greek Revival and Gothic Revival. Other buildings of note are the Greek Revival Whitingham Community Church (1862), Green Mountain Hall (formerly the c. 1860 Universalist Church, also Greek Revival), and the c. 1870 Number Nine Schoolhouse.</p><br>

<p>The Rock Building is a historic building in rural White County, Arkansas. It is located on the west side of Bartell Road, north of Judsonia and west of Arkansas Highway 13. It is a single-story stone structure, now lacking a roof, of uncertain original function. It was built about 1915, and originally had a gabled roof that extended over a porch. The building is unusual by virtue of its stone construction, which is rare for the period in the county.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The former Wadena Fire and City Hall is a historic government building in Wadena, Minnesota, United States, built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 for having local significance in the theme of politics/government. It was nominated for being a representative example of early-20th-century civic development and of the municipal buildings common to many small Minnesotan cities. The building now houses a chiropractic clinic.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The old Wadena Fire and City Hall is a rectangular, two-story building of red brick with concrete details. The center of the ground floor façade is dominated by a large, semicircular arch with a raised concrete keystone. This is flanked by symmetrical doors with corbeled concrete lintels topped by smaller arched windows. The second floor is topped by a dentillated false cornice, a decorative panel of bricks in a herringbone pattern, and a crenelated parapet. Many of these decorations derive from Renaissance Revival architecture. The southwest corner of the building has an open belfry with a pyramidal roof and a concrete frieze embellished with festoons.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wadena&#39;s first combination city hall and fire station was built in 1885. Within a quarter of a century the facility was inadequate for both purposes, and city officials began planning a replacement in late 1911. Minneapolis architect Kirby T. Snyder drafted a compact design for a new multipurpose hall. Construction began on a new lot the following summer and was completed in early January 1913. The period of 1910 to 1915 saw a major construction boom in Wadena, with new public, commercial, and residential buildings appearing, plus two large new churches.</p><br>
<p>The F.W. Schuerenberg House is located in Brenham, Texas and was built in 1895 by Frederick William Schuerenberg. Schuerenberg, the son of an early German immigrant, was a local businessman who owned a blacksmith shop in Brenham. The mansion is located at 503 West Alamo street and is considered a classic example of Victorian architecture. The Mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It sat vacant from 2005 to early 2016, when it was then purchased by a married couple from Houston who plan to restore it. It is said to be haunted by the spirit of a small girl who occasionally peers out the first floor bay window. it is also rumored that someone committed suicide by hanging themselves in the nursery located on the second floor. The old carriage house is located at the back of the lot on Peabody street. Its architectural style closely resembles that of the Wood-Hughes House which is also located in Brenham, Texas.</p><br>
<p>Union Hall is the town hall of Searsport, Maine. It is located at 3 Reservoir Street in the town center. Built in 1863, it is a remarkably sophisticated example of Italianate architecture for a relatively small town, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Union Hall is located in the village center of Searsport, on the east side of Reservoir Street a short way north of United States Route 1. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. The ground floor is relatively low, housing town offices, while the upper level is tall, housing the auditorium space. The building has quoined corners, bracketed eaves, and entrances on the short ends that are flanked by pilasters. Ground floor windows are rectangular sash, while the upper floor windows are mainly very tall round-arch windows. On the ends there are paired segmented-arch windows in the gables. The building originally had a cupola. Its interior has modest but high quality woodwork, most of it original.</p><br>
<p>The hall was designed by Portland architect George M. Harding, and was built in 1863, at the height of the American Civil War. It is one of Maine&#39;s more imposing small-town town halls. In addition to the loss of the cupola, other minor alterations include the loss of a balcony on one end, and the provision of a fire escape door on the western end.</p><br>
<p>The Williams River Route 5 Bridge is a historic Warren deck truss bridge, carrying USA Route 5  across the Williams River in Rockingham, Vermont. Built in 1929 and rebuilt in 1971-72, it is one of four bridges of this type and vintage in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Williams River Bridge is located in central eastern Rockingham, not far above the mouth of the Williams River, where it empties into the Connecticut River. The bridge has a total length of about 250 ft, consisting of a 137 ft main span and approach spans of 56 ft and 24 ft. The main span is a Warren deck truss, mounted on concrete abutments, with an I-beam sub-floor and concrete road bed set on top of the truss structure. The approaches are supported by I-section plate girders.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1929, one of many bridges built in the wake of flooding that devastated Vermont in 1927. It is one of only four Warren deck trusses built at the time, serving on what was one of the state&#39;s major travel arteries prior to the construction of Interstate 91. These trusses were typically used by the state on some its longest spans, and sites where the clearance below allowed for the truss placement. The state standardized on these types of trusses during the 1928-30 construction period, and continues to use them for new bridge construction.</p><br>
<p>Oak Grove Cemetery is a historic cemetery on 7th Street in Des Arc, Arkansas. Established in the 1850s, it is the city&#39;s oldest cemetery, occupying about 2.5 acre now hemmed in by development.

<p>The Bodwell Water Power Company Plant, also known as the Milford Plant of Emera Maine , is a hydroelectric power generation facility on the Penobscot River in Milford, Maine. Its main building, a handsome Romanesque structure, stands at the eastern end of the Milford Dam. Built in 1906, it was at that time the largest hydroelectric facility in the state, and its construction marked a shift from water to electrical power of area industries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Bodwell Water Power Company Plant stands at the eastern end of Milford Dam, although it is technically not a part of the dam; a log sluiceway and fish ladder separate the facilities. The dam and power plant are located at one of the major falls on that stretch of the river, and its largest single source of power. The plant is a monumental steel-framed structure faced in brick, measuring 220 x, and projecting over the river on a two-story concrete foundation. The base of foundation is an arcade of arches, with square windows above aligned with those of the structure resting on top. The main structure is roughly that of a basilica, with a tall central section flanked by lower side sections, with clerestory windows at the sides of the central section. The interior has original tile floors, iron railings, and other features, including a traveling industrial crane that can be used to maneuver heavy equipment throughout the building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site where the power plant stands was the location of a large sawmill in the 1880s and 1890s. Joseph Robinson Bodwell was a major owner of the Milford Land Company, which owned that mill, and it was under the aegis of that company that the power plant and dam were built in 1905–1907. The reasons for the architectural sophistication, especially for a comparatively remote site, of the main plant are not known, but follow a trend for high-style architecture in large public buildings during that period. It was designed by Wallace C. Johnson, a civil and mechanical engineer who had worked on hydroelectric projects in Niagara, New York. The plant was originally designed to produce 12,000 horsepower, and the power was mainly sold to industrial customers in nearby communities. (The mill standing across the river in Old Town was not one of these customers—it had its own internal power plant.)</p><br>
<p>In 1998 Bangor Hydro, then the owner of the plant, sold it (along with its other hydroelectric power generation assets) to PP&L Global of Fairfax, Virginia. It is now owned by Black Bear Hydro Partners LLC, and has an authorized capacity of 8 megawatts.</p><br>
<p>The Williams Street Extension Historic District encompasses a locally architecturally distinctive residential area on Williams Street in Bellows Falls, a village of Rockingham, Vermont. Developed between about 1880 and 1930, the neighborhood has a collection of 15 historically significant well-preserved worker housing units. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Williams Street Extension is a residential dead end street in the northwestern part of Bellows Falls, running west from Atkinson Road (United States Route 5) to end at a steep hillside at its western end. Myrtle Street, another residential street, ends in a T junction roughly midway through its length. The street has eighteen primary residential structures, most of which are two or three story multiunit wood frame buildings. All have slate roofs, and most have wooden clapboard or shingle siding, although some have been clad in synthetic siding. They are basically vernacular in style, with elements of the Queen Anne revival predominant, although Greek Revival and Colonial Revival features are also found in a few buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Williams Street Extension was developed beginning about 1880, in order to address the need for worker housing in the industries of Bellows Falls, Rockinghams most populous and economically significant village. The area was platted out as early as 1872, when the land was owned by the Bellows Falls Canal Company. Between 1880 and 1900 twelve of the streets buildings were built, and the last major construction took place in 1920. Since then, only modest alterations have taken place, including the addition or loss of outbuildings, changes in siding materials, and minor alterations to building exteriors. Residents who lived here were typically employed either by the railroads that served the village, or the paper companies that had plants here.</p><br>
<p>The Rascoe House was a historic house at 702 Main Street in Searcy, Arkansas. It was a single story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, weatherboard siding, and a foundation of brick piers. It was built about 1915, and was one a few surviving examples in White County of a vernacular central-passage house from that period.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database, and was delisted in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Rialto Theater is a historic movie theater at Race and Spring Streets in central Searcy, Arkansas. Built in the 1920s and renovated in 1940, it is one of the few buildings in all of White County to exhibit Art Deco styling , and the only theater with that styling. Its neon marquee is also the most elaborate known in the county.</p><br>
<p>The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Robertson Drugstore is a historic commercial building at Spring Street and Arch Avenue in central Searcy, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick structure with basically vernacular style. It was built about 1860, and is the citys only commercial building to survive from the pre-Civil War period. It was the home to the citys first drugstore, and is the oldest commercial building in White County.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Everett Wallace House is a historic house on United States Route 1 in Milbridge, Maine. Built in 1938, it is unusual as a late example of Queen Anne architecture, having been built as a near replica of the owner&#39;s previous house, which was destroyed by fire in 1937. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Everett Wallace House stands in the southern part of the village center of Milbridge, on the west side of US 1 just north of its junction with Wyman Road. It is set on a lot fronted by a picket fence along with a two-car detached garage. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical styling typical of the Queen Anne period. It has a steeply pitched gabled roof, a brick foundation, and an exterior clad in a variety of finishes, including wooden shingles, aluminum siding, and applied Stick style half timbering. It is roughly L-shaped, its shape somewhat obscured by single-story porches along the front, one of which has been enclosed in glass. Its front is in three sections, with a central three-story tower flanked by a projecting gabled section on the right and a recessed one on the left.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Everett Wallace, a local merchant, in 1938, after the family&#39;s 1890s Queen Anne Victorian was destroyed by fire in 1937. The basic design appears to have been taken from a pattern book, since a nearly identical 1890s house stands in Boothbay Harbor. The earlier Wallace House is documented from a series of postcards produced in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The house is located at 93 Main Street. Due to overgrowth, the structure is barely visible. The house is in a neglected state as of August 2024.</p><br>
<p>The Maine Publicity Bureau Building is a historic commercial building at 501 Danforth Street in Portland, Maine, United States. Built in 1936, it is a local example of Colonial Revival architecture and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its association with early formalized efforts by the state to promote tourism.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Maine Publicity Bureau Building stands below the southernmost end of Portland&#39;s Western Promenade, on the northeast side of a 90-degree bend in Danforth Street just before its western end. Although the building stands on a slight rise above Danforth Street, its view of the Fore River is obscured by the raised embankment that carries Commercial Street. The building is a 1-1/2 story brick building with Colonial Revival style, with a five-bay side-gable central section flanked by symmetrical single-story front-gable projecting sections. The flanking sections each have a Palladian-style window group, with narrow fixed windows flanking a central sash that is topped by a half-round fan. The center section has regular sash windows set in rectangular openings with flat keystone lintels. The main entrance is a recessed double door, the opening flanked by pilasters and topped by a broken segmented pediment. The main room of the interior features high-quality woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Portland architect John P. Thomas and was completed in 1936 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration. The Maine Publicity Bureau was founded in Portland in 1921 by a group of the states business leaders, as a formalized way to promote the states business, industrial, and recreational resources. At first located in offices on Congress Street, the group chose this prominent location for a permanent home when it outgrew those facilities. The land and building were owned by the state, and were leased by the Bureau until 1979 when its headquarters was relocated to Hallowell.</p><br>
<p>The Williamsville Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, carrying Dover Road over the Rock River in Newfane, Vermont. Probably built in the 1870s, this Town lattice truss bridge is probably the oldest covered bridge in Windham County, and is the only one surviving in the town of Newfane. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Williamsville Covered Bridge is located in south-central Newfane, about 0.4 mi west of the village of Williamsville. It carries Dover Road, the main road leading west from the village, across the Rock River, whose valley the road follows in this area. The bridge has a length of 118 ft and a width of 21 ft, allowing for a single travel lane. It has a portal clearance of 11 ft, and its roof is metal. It is supported by two Town lattice trusses, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding. Its original wooden roadway supports have been replaced by steel beams, and the roadbed is paved.</p><br>

<p>The,  is located in Portland, Oregon now moored in the Swan Island Lagoon. It is currently owned and being restored by a non-profit 501c3 group, the Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum. Built in 1944 in Neponset, Massachusetts, the ship was transferred to the Pacific Theater where it saw action in making two assault landings: Zamboanga, Philippines in March 1945 and Brunei Bay, Borneo in June 1945 . Purchased as war surplus initially for use as a log hauling tugboat, the engines were removed and it was relegated to a floating storage hulk in Stevenson, Washington until the late 1950s when it was abandoned and sank into the river mud on the shore of the Columbia River. In the late 1970s the ship was refloated and restoration began on the ship. LCI713 has changed ownership until finally sold to the AFMM in 2003. The LCI 713 has been continually restored with the goal of becoming a historically correct operating museum ship. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 12 April 2007.</p><br>

<p>The Marine Hospital is a historic medical facility at 331 Veranda Road  on Martins Point in Portland, Maine. Built in the late 1850s to a design by Ammi B. Young, it is the only known surviving Marine Hospital  of the period to retain original iron railings. The building is now part of the Portland campus of the Martins Point Health Care medical practice. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Marine Hospital building occupies a prominent hilltop on Martins Point, a peninsular projection in eastern Portland that marks the southern side of the mouth of the Presumpscot River at Casco Bay. The larger and lower modern Martins Point Health Care building stands to the southeast, with the main entrance rotary to the buildings northeast. The Marine Hospital is a three-story structure, built with load-bearing brick walls and granite trim. It has a roughly H-shaped plan, with granite quoining at the corners, and a multi-stage projecting cornice that includes a band of bracketing. Windows are typically sash, set in rectangular openings with granite lintels and sills. The southwest facade is nine bays wide, with the central five bays taken up by a stack of balconies, which have cast iron railings that are original to the buildings construction. The porches are topped by a projecting roof section that continues the elaborate cornice.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was built in 1855-59 by the federal government, as part of the Marine Hospital Service, which provided medical care to sick and disabled seamen. The building was designed by Ammi B. Young, then the supervising architect of the United States Treasury Department. Young was responsible for designing a significant number of federal buildings in this role, including several marine hospitals; this building is the only one of those buildings to survive with its ironwork (one of Young&#39;s signature features) relatively intact.</p><br>
<p>The Marine Hospital Service was created by Congress in 1798, and there was an active service in Portland, Maines largest port, by 1805. This hospital was built on the site of the Veranda Hotel, which burned in 1847. It served as a hospital until 1952, and in 1956 it became a Marine Corps Reserve Training Center. Before becoming part of Martins Point Health Care, it was also used as an outpatient clinic of the United States Public Health Service.</p><br>
<p>The Wilmington Village Historic District encompasses a significant portion of the village center of Wilmington, Vermont. The village grew as a crossroads industrial center through the mid-19th century, and experienced relatively little growth afterward. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Wilmington is located in rural southern Windham County, with its village center at the junction of Vermont Routes 9 and 100. Route 9 is the principal east-west route across southern Vermont, and Route 100 is the principal north-south route traversing the state on the eastern flank of the Green Mountains. The two roads meet at the North Branch Deerfield River, which historically provided the power for the village&#39;s industries. The historic district extends along Route 9 from Beaver Street in the east to the Valley Trail in the west, and along Route 100 from Beaver Street in the south to just beyond Lisle Hill Road in the north. The district has 59 historically significant buildings, and only five that are not. Most of these buildings were built in the 19th century, in vernacular versions of popular architectural styles. Particularly sophisticated buildings include the Crafts Inn and Memorial Hall, both turn of the 20th century buildings attributed to McKim, Mead & White.</p><br>
<p>The town of Wilmington was chartered in 1757, with a second conflicting charter issued in 1764. This delayed development of the town until the 1770s. The original town center was located on top of Lisle Hill, northeast of the present village, but was relocated when the confluence of stage routes and the river provided economic impetus for its move. Some of the village&#39;s buildings were physically moved as part of the transition. The stage route that became Route 9 was built through the area in 1831, and mills (none of which have survived) lined the river.</p><br>
<p>The Russell Jail is a historic town holding facility in Russell, Arkansas. It is located near the town post office, in a field at the junction of West Elm Street and Highway Avenue . It is a small single-story concrete structure, with a slightly bowed roof, a doorway opening  on one wall, and small square barred openings on the sides. It was built about 1935 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration, and is one just three such structures in White County.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Scott-Davis House is a historic house in rural White County, Arkansas. It is located south of the small community of Romance, on the south side of Blackjack Mountain Road, west of its junction with Wayne Walker Road . In appearance it is a -story double pile structure, with a gabled and hipped roof, and a brick foundation. At its core is a dogtrot built out of logs c. 1869, which was extended to achieve its present appearance in 1905.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The John Shutter House is a historic house at Austin and Main Streets in Pangburn, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame house, with a side-gable roof and a stone foundation. A hip-roofed porch extends across part of the front, supported by wooden columns mounted on stuccoed piers. A shed-roofed carport extends to the left side of the house. The house was built in 1908, and is one of a modest number of houses in White County surviving from that period.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The McKee Bridge is a covered bridge in Jackson County in the USA state of Oregon. Built on land donated by Adelbert  McKee, a stage station operator, the bridge originally carried a road over the Applegate River that linked the Blue Ledge Copper Mine to Jacksonville. The site originally included an ore-hauler rest stop, about halfway between the mine and the city, where relief horses were stationed. The bridge, about 8.3 mi north of the California border, carried mining and logging traffic from the year of its construction, 1917, through 1956.</p><br>
<p>Since 1956, area residents, assisted at times by government funding, have maintained the bridge, which is used by pedestrians but not by motor vehicles. McKee Picnic Ground in the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest is at the west end of the bridge along the river. The picnic ground and bridge are about 8.5 mi south of Ruch along Applegate Road.</p><br>
<p>The McKee Bridge Historical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to maintaining the pedestrian bridge, lists the height of the bridge at 45 ft, which makes it the highest of the four remaining covered bridges in Jackson County. It is also the longest and oldest of the four.</p><br>
<p>Closed completely for three years because of rot in structural components as well as damage to the roof, the bridge reopened in June 2015 after major renovations. Grants totaling about $600,000 from the Federal Highway Administration, supplemented by matching funds of about $60,000 raised by the McKee Bridge Historical Society, paid for the project. Mowat Construction Company of Woodinville, Washington, carried out the rehabilitation.</p><br>
