<p>The Blake House  is a historic house at 107 Court Street in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1858 to a design by local architect Calvin Ryder, it is one of the first Second Empire houses to be built in the state of Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 31, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house is located in a residential area northwest of downtown Bangor, on the northeast side of Court Street opposite Boynton Street, and next door to the historic Samuel Farrar House. It is a -story wood-framed structure, with a flared mansard roof, and a flushboarded exterior that has been scored and treated to resemble stone.

<p>The Wireless Station is a historic US government telecommunications facility at East Manor and Boyd Streets in Anchorage, Alaska. The property includes three buildings  that were used to maintain radio communications in the Anchorage area, with ships at sea, and as a communications link to Seattle, Washington as part of military WAMCATS telecommunications system. In addition, the station was used for communications during the construction of the Alaska Railroad, and, during the 1925 serum run to Nome, it was used to inform the residents of Nome that the diphtheria antitoxin was on its way.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The three buildings are single-story frame structures with clapboard siding. The original 1917 building has a cupola, that when illuminated, originally served as a beacon for ships seeking to reach the Anchorage port. The station saw active service until the early 1950s and has stood vacant since the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The station complex was listed on the US National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company Bridge is a railroad bridge in Lane County in the USA state of Oregon. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, it formerly carried the tracks of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company over the McKenzie River southeast of Coburg. It has since become a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. The Whipple through truss bridge, resting on concrete supports, is 405 ft long, 25 ft wide, and 44 ft high.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1887 for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company by George S. Morison and installed over the John Day River in north-central Oregon, it was bought by the Southern Pacific in 1907 and moved to the McKenzie River by the American Bridge Company. Made of iron, it replaced a wooden covered bridge constructed at the site in 1891. The earlier bridge, 380 ft long, was one of the longest such structures ever built. It replaced the function of Spores Ferry, which began operation a short distance upstream in 1847 and was an important crossing for wagon trains.</p><br>
<p>Coburg Road crosses the river on a highway bridge next to the railway bridge, and Interstate 5 crosses on a different highway bridge slightly further upstream. Armitage County Park, about 5 mi north of Eugene, is along the south side of the river near the bridges.</p><br>

<p>The Drift Creek Bridge is a covered bridge in Lincoln County in the USA state of Oregon. Built in 1914, the structure originally carried Drift Creek County Road over Drift Creek.</p><br>
<p>The original bridge, about 1.5 mi from the ocean, once carried the main north–south route along the coast. Newer bridges later carried most of the north–south traffic and, after a concrete bridge bypassed the Drift Creek Bridge in the 1960s, Lincoln County preserved it as a pedestrian crossing and a monument to 19th-century pioneers. In 1988, however, county officials closed the bridge entirely after rot and insect damage made the structure unsafe.</p><br>
<p>The county dismantled the bridge in 1997 and gave the timbers to Laura and Kerry Sweitz, who owned land 8 mi north of the Drift Creek site. In 2000, the Sweitz family rebuilt the bridge over Bear Creek and granted a permanent public easement at that site.</p><br>
<p>The original Howe truss bridge had board-and-batten siding, arched portals, and ribbon windows along the eaves. Before being dismantled, it was the closest covered bridge to the Oregon Coast. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979</p><br>

<p>The Norton House Historic District encompasses two properties that formerly constituted the central portion of a suburban country estate in Falmouth, Maine. Located on Foreside Road, overlooking Casco Bay, the landscaped properties include a house and former carriage house designed by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens in 1912. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Until the early 20th century, the area known as Falmouth Foreside was a predominantly rural and agricultural area. By 1910 a full-scale conversion of the area to coastal estate homes was well underway, with landowners selling off coastal properties for development. The family of Ralph S. Norton, an insurance executive based in Portland, owned a small farm in the area, and Norton decided in 1911 to build a more substantial summer house on a high point overlooking Casco Bay. He retained John Howard Stevens, who developed a plan that included a house, carriage barn, and landscaped garden terraces. It is surmised that Carl Rust Parker, a prominent Portland landscape architect, was involved in the design of the grounds. The Norton estate was originally several hundred acres, most of which has since been subdivided (including the property of the Portland Yacht Club). Ownership of the house and barn was divided in 1967, after which the barn was converted to a residence.</p><br>
<p>The surviving Norton estate properties are accessed via private drive on the southeast side of Foreside Road (Maine State Route 88), between Old Powerhouse Road, which provides access to the yacht club, and Ramsdell Road. The drive is marked by a low stone wall with posts, and a small gatehouse on the right side, designed by John Howard Stevens. The main house is at the left side of the end of the drive, while the carriage barn is to the right. The house is a handsome 2-1/2 story structure, with an eclectic blend of Prairie School, Shingle, and Colonial Revival styles. Its interior finish is predominantly in Arts and Crafts styling that was fashionable at the time of its construction. The house&#39;s original view to the bay is now obscured by a house built on a subdivision of the estate.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Addis building, a former bank that is now home to the Addis Museum, is a historic building in Addis, Louisiana.</p><br>

<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Kansas City Southern Depot is a former Kansas City Southern Railway station located at the intersection of Spanish and Port Arthur Streets in Zwolle, Louisiana. Built in 1914, the depot is the only surviving building connected to the railroad in Zwolle. The railroad was built through the Zwolle area in 1896, and the town was founded shortly thereafter; the 1914 depot was a replacement for the towns original station. The railway station was an important shipping center for the towns lumber industry; lumber was Sabine Parish&#39;s chief export from the early 1900s through the 1940s, and the railroad made Zwolle one of the two main milling towns in the parish.</p><br>
<p>The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Kansas City Southern Railway Depot is a historic former Kansas City Southern Railway station located at 750 West Georgia Avenue in Many, Louisiana.

The theater was opened in 1914, and it was converted into a movie house in 1919. There is seating for 264 on the main floor and an additional 132 seats in the balcony. The present marquee was erected by the Iowa Neon Sign Company of Des Moines in 1948. The I.O.O.F. sold the theater to Louie and Virginia Cook in 1978. It continued to serve as a movie theater, and it hosted its own film festival until it closed in August 2013. The Hardacre Theater Preservation Association bought the theater in 2014. They are renovating the theater to accommodate digital movie equipment, to return it to a live performing arts theater, and to provide space to host community events. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Battleship Maine Monument is a memorial marker in Davenport Park, Bangor, Maine. It commemorates veterans of the Spanish–American War, and the loss of the USS Maine due to an explosion of unknown cause, which sparked the start of the war. Placed in 1922, it includes the shield and scrolls of the Maine, which were recovered from its wreckage in the harbor of Havana, Cuba. The memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Of several memorials to that war and the loss of the Maine, it is the most elaborate in the state.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Battleship Maine Monument stands on the east side of Davenport Park, a city park south of downtown Bangor, near the corner of Main and Cedar Streets. It is approached from Main Street via a path lined by plantings, with benches nearby. The monument is triangular in shape, with 12 ft sides, and is mounted on a plinth of granite. The monument is composed of blocks of ashlar granite, and is capped by a slightly projecting cornice. The overall effect is that of the prow of a ship. Affixed to the leading edge are the shields and scrolls of the USS Maine. The memorial is topped by a bronze light standard with an eagle at its crown. The plinth has a bronze plaque bearing the following inscription:</p><br>
<p>To the memory of the soldiers and sailor of the Spanish–American War 1989. Shield and scrolls recovered from wreckage of USS Maine blown up Havana Harbor, Cuba February 15, A.D. 1898. Erected by the city of Bangor, A.D. 1922</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The USS Maine was an armored cruiser of the United States Navy, and was the first US Navy vessel named after the state of Maine. She was sent in January 1898 to Havana, Cuba as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of Americans in the ongoing Cuban War of Independence. On February 15, 1898, an explosion (whose cause continues to be debated) aboard the ship resulted in its rapid sinking, and the loss of three-quarters of its crew. This event greatly heightened tensions that led directly to the outbreak of the Spanish–American War.</p><br>
<p>Elements of the ship were recovered during salvage operations in 1912, a number of which now appear in monuments and memorials to the war. Bangor Mayor Flavius O. Beal and Congressman Frank E. Guernsey successfully lobbied for the citys receipt of the ships shield and scrolls, which were to become the focus of the city&#39;s monument. A committee formed in 1917 to identify a location for the memorial selected the Post Office Mall, and design work was commissioned. The work languished until 1920, when a city employee sold the ship relics for scrap. The city recovered most of them, and the act spurred renewed action. A new site in Davenport Park was selected, and the design was produced by Edwin S. Kent, a local architect. The memorial was constructed at a cost of $5,300, and was dedicated on October 17, 1922.</p><br>
<p>Other public memorials to the Maine and the war in the state include one of the ship&#39;s cannons at Fort Allen Park in Portland, and a recovered projectile in Lewiston. The USS Maine Mast Memorial is in Arlington National Cemetery, and the principal national memorial to the Maine is the USS Maine National Monument in New York City.</p><br>
<p>The Paine Neighborhood Historic District of Standish, Maine encompasses a small collection of rural properties that were all developed within a short period of time by members of the Paine family. Included are three late 18th-century houses and the family cemetery. The area provides a view of early settlement patterns in Maine&#39;s interior. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>In about 1780 four Paine brothers left Eastham, Massachusetts, and settled in the area that is now Gorham and Standish, Maine. One of them, Joseph, settled on the Pequawket Trail (now Maine State Route 113), the major historic route from coastal southern Maine to the Fryeburg area, on the northeast side of Watchic Pond. Although his early home no longer stands, four sons all built houses in the 1790s, three of which still stand along Route 113, along with the family cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The family cemetery is located on the north side of Route 113. To its east stands the house of Myrick Paine, a two-story wood frame structure with a hip roof and four chimneys. To its west is that of Richard Paine, a 1-1/2 story Cape style house with an attached single-story wing. South of the road, roughly opposite Richards house, is the house of Joseph Paine, Jr. It is similar to Richards, except that it is connected to a barn. All three houses were built 1795–97, and remained in the hands of Paine descendants into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Wingmead is a large farm and country estate in eastern Prairie County, Arkansas.

Probably built sometime between 1914 and 1939, it is the only known example in the county of a mobile strawberry picking and packing shed, designed to be moved around strawberry fields by horse at harvest time.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Bartlett Roundhouse, also known as the Bartlett Engine House,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bartlett Roundhouse stands on the west side of Bartlett village, a short way east of the crossing of United States Route 302 and the railroad tracks of the Maine Central Railroad. It is a tall single-story wood-frame structure, in an arched configuration with four service bay entrances on the east side. Its exterior is finished in wooden clapboards and it is covered by a flat roof. The area in front of the service bays contains the foundational remnants of a railroad turntable.</p><br>
<p>The roundhouse was built in 1887–88 by the Portland and Ogdensburg Railway, as a service point for extra steam locomotives needed to power trains up the steep grades of Crawford Notch. It was then sold to the state, which used it as a sand and storage shed until the 1980s. It is now undergoing restoration by a local non-profit organization.</p><br>
<p>The Rollinsford Grade School is a historic school building at 487 Locust Street in Rollinsford, New Hampshire. Opened in 1937, and still in use as an elementary school, it was the first school building commissioned by the prominent Durham firm Huddleston & Hersey, whose principal, Eric T. Huddleston, designed many buildings for the University of New Hampshire as the first campus architect. The grounds of the school are also notable as the burial site of Obo II, considered the father of the American Cocker Spaniel breed of dog. The property was listed with statewide significance on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Rollinsford Grade School stands in a residential area south of Rollinsford&#39;s town center, at the junction of Locust and Willey streets. The school is a two-story structure, built with a steel frame with walls of terra-cotta tiles veneered with brick. It is Colonial Revival in style, with a particularly fine entrance surround. Modern aluminum-and-glass doors are flanked by Corinthian pilasters, and topped by a transom window and arched pediment. Its gable roof is topped by a functional cupola, a signature element of its architect, Eric T. Huddleston. The original main block is extended to the rear by two additions, made in 1965 and 1998. The interior retains most of its original finishes.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the schools construction the property was used for agriculture. It was built in 1936 to consolidate the towns village school and two district schoolhouses into a single location. It was designed by Huddleston & Hersey of nearby Durham. It was the first major school commission of that firm, serving as a prototype for numerous schools and civic buildings in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and southwestern Maine. It was one of two structures in the town built with funding support from the Public Works Administration, a New Deal jobs program. Although it initially housed grades one through eight, it now houses grade one through six. Students in the higher grades are sent to the schools of adjacent towns.</p><br>
<p>Near the rear of the grounds of the school is the grave of Obo II. It consists of a marble marker set on a granite plinth. The marker is engraved with the following inscription: "Obo II / A.K.C. Number 4911 / Died January 2, 1895".</p><br>
<p>The Old Somersworth High School, also formerly the Hilltop Elementary School, is a historic school building at 17 Grand Street in Somersworth, New Hampshire. It is a three-story brick Georgian Revival building, constructed in 1927 on the site of New Hampshire&#39;s oldest high school. It was designed by Charles Greely Loring, and served as a high school until 1956 and an elementary school until 2007. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Somersworth High School building stands in a generally residential area on a ridge overlooking downtown Somersworth, on an irregularly shaped lot bounded by Grove, Grand, Highland, and Prospect Streets. It is a three-story masonry structure, built out of brick with stone trim, and faces southeast toward Grand Street. It is roughly H-shaped, with front and rear wings joined by a wide central connector. Windows are generally set in rectangular openings with stone sills and lintels, and a stone cornice is topped by a low brick parapet, obscuring the flat roof. The front facade is fifteen bays wide, with the main entrance at its center, recessed in a square stone-faced opening.</p><br>
<p>Somersworth built New Hampshire&#39;s first municipal high school on this site in 1849. That aging structure was replaced by the present Georgian Revival structure in 1927, and was considered a state-of-the-art high school at the time. It was enlarged in 1939, adding space for vocational training and a biology laboratory. It was used as a high school until 1956, when the city built a new high school. It was then adapted for use as an elementary school, a role it served until closing in 2007.</p><br>
<h3>Redevelopment</h3><br>
<p>From September 2016 through August 2019, the building underwent an EPA Brownfields assessment and subsequent redevelopment, resulting in it now housing six commercial spaces and 22 residential apartments, all of which were occupied as of July 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Washington County Jail is located at 83 Court Street in Machias, the county seat of Washington County, Maine. The jail was built in 1858 to a design by Gridley James Fox Bryant, and is one of the county&#39;s architecturally significant Italianate buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Washington County Jail is located in the center of Machias, on the north side of Court Street, midway between Center and Cooper Streets. It shares the block with the Washington County Courthouse, to which it is connected by a modern ell at the rear. The jail is a three-story brick building with a hip roof and a granite foundation. A gabled entrance pavilion projects slightly from the south-facing front, and there is a cupola at the center of the original building, which has been greatly enlarged by a modern addition to the rear. The main entrance is on the second floor, which is separated from the first by a granite string course. Windows and doors on the upper floors are set in recessed panels, rounded on the third floor and arched on the second. The rounded-arch paneling is continued in a sympathetic way in the modern addition.</p><br>
<p>The jail was built in 1858 to a design by Boston architect Gridley James Fox Bryant, who designed a significant number of public facilities in eastern Maine in the 1850s, including the similar Kennebec County Jail. At that time, his design embodied the latest thinking in jail facilities, with the jailors living quarters in the front portion of the building, and cell blocks to the rear, surrounded by guard galleries. Innovations in the building included state-of-the-art ventilation and communications systems, and self-locking doors. Much of the buildings original interior has been altered, owing to intervening changings in incarceration practice and theory.</p><br>

<p>The Muscatine County Fairgrounds are located in West Liberty, Iowa, United States. It hosts the annual Muscatine County Fair. The Muscatine County Historic Preservation Commission received a grant from the State of Iowa to study the fairgrounds in 2014. Most of it was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places as the West Liberty Fairgrounds Historic District in 2015. Historic tax credits will be used to rehabilitate the historic buildings on the fairgrounds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Union District Agricultural Society began holding fairs in southwest Cedar County in 1863, and transferred them to West Liberty in 1871. The West Liberty Park Association was established three years later and bought the first 31 acres for the society in 1875. Additional land, which makes up the historic district, was purchased in 1889 and 1963. The initial wood-frame buildings were replaced by some of the present buildings beginning in 1915 with the Exhibition Hall. County fairs in rural areas were a showcase of livestock, agricultural products, home economics, and craftwork. Youth participation began to increase in the 1910s, the result of practical rural education. Structures geared to their activities were built beginning in the 1930s. As demand grew at about the same time for spectator space along the race track, a new grandstand was built in 1928. Because the size of the exhibitions grew in the mid-20th century, new and larger exhibition space was added in the 1960s, which included a new livestock judging pavilion in 1966.</p><br>
<p>The race track initially sponsored horse racing throughout the summer months. The stalls and track were used for rental and training purposes. They were eventually replaced by auto races. In addition to the races and the fair, various other events are held at the fairgrounds. They include family reunions, picnics, holiday celebrations, and other community events.</p><br>
<p>Hamburg Public Library is located in Hamburg, Iowa, United States. The Carnegie Corporation of New York accepted Hamburg&#39;s application for a grant for $9,000 on December 3, 1915.

Rector returned to Indiana to marry Elizabeth Baylor. They had no children of their own, but took in several homeless children. The two-story brick Greek Revival house follows a T-plan. Both floors have three rooms. The first floor houses a living room, parlor and kitchen, and three bedrooms are located upstairs. A screened in porch and a single-story wing are located adjacent to the kitchen on the first floor. It is capped with a low-pitched gable roof. The summer kitchen on the main floor was converted into a bathroom. The house is located on an 80 acre farm located in the Loess Hills. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Chautauqua Pavilion is a historic structure located in City Park in Riverton, Iowa, United States. William "Coin" Harvey, a political ally of William Jennings Bryan, founded a political fraternal order known as the Patriots of America. Fremont County, Iowa was said to have the largest number of members of any county in the US in the organization. It was selected to have an experimental structure to house encampments of the Patriots. Harvey donated $500 towards its construction in the Riverton city park. Within a few years the organization died out, and the pavilion was used for summer Chautauqua shows, Sunday school and church services, school graduations and May Day observances. The 70 ft diameter structure is 35 ft high in the center and 9 ft high at the eaves. It is capped with a conical-shaped roof and open on the sides. The pavilion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Telfair County, Georgia Courthouse in McRae-Helena was built in 1934 using the walls of the previous courthouse, lost to fire earlier that year. It was designed by architects Dennis & Dennis. The nearby Telfair County Jail was built in 1902. The courthouse and jail were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Telfair county, named for Governor Edward Telfair, was established in 1807. Its first two courthouses, one of log, the other a two-story wooden building, were located in the original county seat at Jacksonville. Jacksonville, with its plantation economy and river landing, was replaced as county seat in 1870 by McRae, located on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad.</p><br>
<p>The third courthouse, the first in McRae, was a frame building built in 1872 or 1873, and was replaced by a brick courthouse in 1888. That courthouse burned around 1900 and was replaced by Telfair&#39;s fifth courthouse, again of brick, in 1904. It burned in 1934 and was replaced by the current, sixth, courthouse later that year using the walls of the 1904 building.</p><br>
<p>The jail was built in 1902 near the eventual location of the 1904 courthouse. It was the first brick jail in the county.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse, in the Colonial Revival-style, is a two-story brick building. The main entrance features three arched entryways and an in antis portico. The side and rear entrances are pedimented with transoms and double doors.</p><br>
<p>The jail is a two-story brick building with hipped roof, four chimneys, center front gable, and an enclosed front porch. There is decorative brick detailing along the cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Macon, Georgia architecture firm of Dennis & Dennis designed the courthouse, as well as the Emanuel County and Peach County courthouses, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Telfair County Courthouse and Jail were added to the register in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The James P. White House is a historic house at 1 Church Street in Belfast, Maine. Built in 1840, it is one of the citys most elaborate examples of Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is included in Belfasts Church Street Historic District. In recent years it has served as a bed and breakfast inn but, as of 2015, is a private residence once again.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The White House is located south of Belfasts central business district, at the southern end of Church Street, occupying a triangular lot at the corner of High Street. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof topped by a widows walk and cupola, and a granite foundation. The front and sides are finished in flushboard siding, with clapboards elsewhere. The building corners have oversides pilasters with Doric capitals, rising to a multi-level entablature that encircles the building. The main facade is three bays wide, the center one projecting and rising to a gabled roof. The main entrance, and a second floor balcony entrance, are both recessed in this projecting, the recessed area articulated by pilasters and fluted columns.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Calvin Ryder, a local architect, for James Patterson White, and was completed in 1840. White, a Belfast native, was a successful businessman who served for two years as mayor. Later owners of the house included James Taliaferro, a Florida Senator who owned it as a summer residence. In the late 20th century the building served as a bed and breakfast inn. By 2015, the White House is a private residence once again.</p><br>
<p>The Peabody-Fitch House, also known as Narramissic Farm, is a historic farm property on Ingalls Road in Bridgton, Maine. It is a well-preserved late 18th to early 19th century farmstead, now owned and operated by the local historical society as a museum property. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Peabody-Fitch property is located in southern Bridgton, on a rise known locally as Fitch Hill on the south side of Ingalls Road, west of Maine State Route 107. The farmstead is set amid former agricultural fields and woods, which contain landscaped evidence of the propertys former use, including stone walls, fences, and former roadways. The farmstead consists of a rambling farmhouse, a barn, and a smaller wood-frame structure that once served as a blacksmiths shop. The farmhouse is a two-story clapboarded wood-frame structure to which a series of additions have been made, most before 1850. The barn is a timber-frame structure with a sliding door, and a small shed-roof addition at one end. The blacksmith&#39;s shop is a single story wood-frame structure, with a single door and three windows.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the house was probably built in 1797 by William Peabody, one of Bridgton&#39;s first settlers. The house remained in the hands of his descendants, mostly named Fitch, until 1910. It was purchased as a summer retreat in 1937 by Margaret Monroe of Providence, Rhode Island, and was given by her heirs to the Bridgton Historical Society. Through these transitions, it has maintained the basic layout of a typical late-18th or early-19th century farmstead, with a detached barn and other outbuildings. The principal loss is of a much larger barn, whose foundational remains lie nearby.</p><br>
<p>The house and farmstead are open by appointment, or during special events staged by the historical society.</p><br>
<p>The Bennington Fish Hatchery, also known as the Bennington Fish Culture Station, is a state-operated fish hatchery at 110 Hatchery Road in Bennington, Vermont, USA. The station, the states largest, produces a variety of trout, which are used to stock the states water resources. Its facilities, dating to 1916, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station has a visitors&#39; center that is open daily.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Bennington Fish Culture Station is located southeast of downtown Bennington, on the east side of South Stream Road, which generally parallels South Stream, a north-flowing tributary of the Walloomsac River. The station has infrastructure on both sides of the stream, including a small cluster of buildings and a series of fish ponds and raceways, on more than 118 acre of property.</p><br>
<p>Buildings of the complex include several that date to the hatcherys founding as an experimental station in 1916. These include the original superintendents office and residence, which now serves as its visitors&#39; center, and the main hatchery building, a handsome Colonial Revival structure, both of which were completed in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The fishery currently produces stocks of brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout, which are distributed to Vermont&#39;s lakes and ponds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The station was established by the state on an experimental basis in 1916, after an earlier experimental station in Arlington was found inadequate. This one was made permanent after the quality and reliability of its water sources was assured. It grew to become a model fish hatchery by the 1930s, distributing thousands of pounds of fingerlings and fry throughout the state. Its facilities were significantly expanded in the 1940s with funding from the Works Progress Administration.</p><br>
