Built in 1876 for two local banks, with a new fourth floor added in 1896, it is a significant local example of Italianate and Romanesque architecture, designed by Bangor architect George W. Orff. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bank Block is located in the heart of Dexter&#39;s central business district, on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 23). It is a four-story masonry structure, with brick upper floors and ground floor retail spaces of glass, granite and metal. The ground floor is seven bays wide, articulated by a combination of iron and stone pilasters. Entrances are in the leftmost bay and the central bay, set in paneled recesses, and the remaining bays have glass display windows. The pilasters support a granite lintel, above which the brick portion of the building rises. The upper floors are five bays wide, with brick quoining at the corners and flanking the central bay. Second and third floor windows are set in segmented-arch openings, with Italianate brick hoods and bracketed stone sills. The fourth floor is separated from the others by a brick stringcourse, and has tripled round-arch Romanesque windows in the outer two bays, and a single round-arch window in the center bay. The cornice consists of corbelled brickwork.</p><br>
<p>The Bank Block was built in 1876 as a joint project by the Dexter Savings Bank (founded 1867) and the First National Bank (1875). The ground floor was dedicated to retail space, the second floor to the offices of the two banks, and the upper floors housed the local Masonic lodge. Designed by Bangor architect George W. Orff, the top floor was originally mansarded in the Second Empire style, with gabled dormers. The Masonic facilities were gutted by a fire in early 1896, and the upper portion of the building was subsequently rebuilt to a design by Henry Dexter, a local builder. The building housed banks until the mid-1990s.</p><br>
<p>The Pennell Institute is a historic government building at 24 Main Street in Gray, Maine.

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Pennell Institute building is located in Grays village center, on the south side of Main Street (US Route 202). It is a 2-1/2 story brick building with a gable roof and tower. A tall 2-1/2 story gabled section projects from the front, with single-story porches on either side, sheltering the original entrances. The front of the projection has corner pilasters, round-arch recessed panels, narrow round-arch windows, a wider round-arch window at the gable, and decorative brickwork at the cornice. The tower above features a clock, set in a round-arch panel, topped by a flared cornice, belfry, and a crested and flared truncated pyramidal roof. The buildings sides are five bays long, defined by round-arch recessed panels two stories in height. Windows here, as on the front, have bracketed stone hoods and sills. A modern ell extends to the rear, with wings out to its sides. Set south of the main building is the former laboratory building, built later but stylistically sympathetic to the original.</p><br>
<p>The town of Gray has offered high school education since the early 19th century, but it was poorly organized for many years. By 1870 the need for a proper high school, with a permanent full-time staff was evident. Henry Pennell, then the town&#39;s wealthiest resident, promised to build the town a high school. Work was begun on this building was begun in 1876, but construction languished, and it was still incomplete in 1884, when Pennell died. In his will, he bequeathed additional funds to complete the building, including an endowment for maintenance and bequests for the library and laboratory. The building was finally completed in 1886, and graduated its first class three years later.</p><br>
<p>The building now houses municipal offices.</p><br>

<p>Bristol Town Hall, at 45 Summer Street, is the town hall of Bristol, New Hampshire. It is a single story Greek Revival structure, built in 1849, and was the town&#39;s first purpose-built town hall. It continues to serve as a municipal meeting and polling place, although town offices are now in a modern building on Lake Street. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bristol Town Hall is located on the fringe of the town&#39;s central downtown area, on the north side of Summer Street just east of School Street. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a front-facing gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The front facade is three bays wide, the bays articulated by wide paneled pilasters. The center bay houses the building entrance in the center of a wide recess, and the flanking bays house paired slender sash windows. The pilasters rise to an entablature beneath the fully pedimented gable.</p><br>
<p>The town of Bristol was incorporated in 1819 out of portions of neighboring towns. Its early town meetings were held in schools and the local Methodist church. Discussions began 1841 for the construction of a dedicated town meeting hall, which came to fruition with the construction of this hall in 1849. The building was enlarged in 1872, by adding 20 ft to the rear, in order to add a stage. In addition to being used for town meetings, the hall hosted theatrical productions, social events, and the meetings of local fraternal societies. The building is distinctive in the state as a late example of Greek Revival architecture, and is a relatively modestly scaled town hall for the period when it was built.</p><br>
<p>The Fisher School Bridge is a covered bridge in Lincoln County in the USA state of Oregon. The 72 ft Howe truss structure crosses a stream called Five Rivers near the rural community of Fisher in the Central Oregon Coast Range. Previously closed to vehicles, the bridge was renovated on a new foundation adjacent to the original position.</p><br>
<p>The bridge takes its name from Fisher Elementary School, now a private property just across Crab Creek Road. Alternatively, the bridge is sometimes called Five Rivers Bridge. It is the only remaining covered bridge in the Five Rivers basin. Former covered bridges within 2 mi of Fisher were the Buck Creek Bridge (1924) and the Cascade Creek Bridge (1927), both 36 ft long.</p><br>
<p>Conflicting county records give the date of construction as either 1919 or 1927,</p><br>
<p>Scheduled for demolition in the 1970s after replacement by a concrete bridge, the Fisher School Bridge was preserved by the local community with the aid of Lincoln County. In 1998, an inspection showed that the bridge had become unsafe and would need to be demolished or renovated. A federal grant obtained in 2001 with help from the Oregon Department of Transportation paid for most of the renovation, including new floor beams, deck, siding, roof, and other components, as well as red paint. More recently, cedar shingles and siding were restored to match the historic materials.</p><br>

<p>Renwick Generating Plant, also known as the Municipal Steam Light Plant, is a historical industrial facility located in Renwick, Iowa, United States. G.L. Long was an engineer who was contracted in 1914 to design a steam-powered electrical light plant. It first distributed energy on March 14, 1915, at 6:00 p.m. The steam engines were replaced by a 75-horsepower, two-cylinder, semi-diesel engine and generating equipment manufactured by Fairbanks-Morse in 1922. A 125-horsepower diesel engine manufactured by Worthington Pump and Machinery Corporation was added in 1936. At that time the plant started to supply power to a newly formed rural electric cooperative that was funded by the Rural Electrification Act of 1936. A Faribanks-Morse 300-horsepower, four-cylinder diesel was added in 1939, and the 75-horsepower and 40-horsepower engines were replaced in 1942 by another 300-horsepower diesel. An addition was added onto the north side of the building the same year. It housed the local fire department and city hall. The facility was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>

<p>Bethel Burial Ground is a historic African American cemetery located in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, beneath part of the surface of Weccacoe Playground, which is bounded by Queen, S. Lawrence, Catherine, and S. Liethgow Streets. The burial ground was about 100 feet square and is located below the southwest corner of the current playground.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Burials began in 1810 after the land was bought by the Rev. Richard Allen for Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church, located about half a mile north, to be a resting place for African Americans. Bills of mortality and death certificates document 1,716 burials on the 0.28 acre site before 1830.</p><br>
<p>Large amounts of fill were used on the site to accommodate burials after 1842, in effect stacking graves on top of earlier graves. Estimates of the total burials range from 3,000 - 5,000. Burials ended in 1864 and the site was neglected. From 1869-1873 the lot was used for storage of wagons and other equipment by a sugar refiner and was further degraded. Bethel Church sold the property in 1889. By 1900 it had been transformed into a park, then known a Weccacoe Square.</p><br>
<p>A preliminary excavation has firmly established the extent of the cemetery, found evidence of many grave shafts, and of layers of fill, and one gravestone reading "Amelia Brown, 1819, Aged 26 years - Whosoever live and believeth in me, though we be dead, yet shall we live."</p><br>

<p>The Thompson Brothers Rock Art is an inscribed rock located within Giant City State Park in Union County, Illinois. Four names are carved into the rock, all but possibly one of which were inscribed by Union soldiers or supporters during the Civil War. The two most prominent signatures belong to brothers Albert S. and T. W. Thompson; the former was a Union soldier, while the latter served as Deputy Provost Marshal and was responsible for locating Union deserters. Union soldier Thomas L. Bailey also carved his name into the rock; the fourth name, A. Parker, may have been either a fellow soldier or a resident of the area who added his name after the war. The rock was carved at a time when Union supporters and Southern sympathizers fought for control of southern Illinois, and as the Thompson family were among the most prominent Union supporters, it represents an attempt to physically claim the area for the North. The Confederate sympathizers&#39; inability to deface the names signifies their gradual loss of power in the area. The rock is now one of the few surviving Civil War sites in Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 29, 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Titus House is a historic house at 406 East Center Street in Searcy, Arkansas.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Maines first psychiatric hospital was the Maine Insane Hospital, established in Augusta in 1835. That facility was repeatedly enlarged, until 1889, when it was determined to no longer be feasible to expand it further. The state appointed a committee to identify a location for a second facility, resulting in the selection of this location. The centerpiece of the campus is a sprawling, connected multi-building complex, at whose center is the hospitals first building, designed by the noted Portland architect John Calvin Stevens and completed in 1897. The wings, which were designed by Bangor architect George Coombs, were added in 1899–1901, when the facility formally opened its doors. The hospital continued to grow over the course of the 20th century, generally according to the principles of the Kirkbride Plan for the design and organization of mental hospitals. The main building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987; it is one of the state&#39;s largest public buildings.</p><br>
<p>When founded, it was known as the Eastern Maine Insane Hospital. Its name was changed in 1913 to Bangor State Hospital, and then to Bangor Mental Health Institute. In 2005 it was renamed the Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center, in honor of Dorothea Dix, a pioneering 19th-century advocate for the improved treatment of the mentally ill.</p><br>
<h2>Campus</h2><br>
<p>The centers campus is located on Bangors east side, between State Street (United States Route 2) and Mount Hope Avenue, with Saxl Park on its west side. In addition to the sprawling main building, the campus includes the Tubercular Center, Hedin Hall, the Pre-Release center, a maintenance building, and Pooler Pavilion.</p><br>
<p>The Pettengill House and Farm  is a historic conservation property in Freeport, Maine, United States. Now owned by the Freeport Historical Society, this farm was in active use from at least 1831 until 1960. More than 140 acre of its original 180 acre have been preserved, as has the c. 1800 saltbox farmhouse. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and is part of the 1974 Harraseeket Historic District. The farm is located at the southern end of Pettengill Road in Freeports Mast Landing area.  The house faces south, looking down the Harraseeket River. The propertys trails are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Pettengill Farm occupies a significant portion of land at the head of the Harraseeket River, a tidal inlet that extends southwest to Casco Bay. The farm property is bounded on the south and west by the river, the north by Flying Point Road, and the east by Kelsey Brook, which empties into the river near the point where it opens into the wide channel. The farmstead is located on a terrace overlooking a bend in the narrow portion of the river, near the southern end of the property, and is about a 1 mi walk down the access road from the public trailhead. The property, which is now no longer in agricultural use, has a combination of open fields and woods, with public trails now crossing them.</p><br>
<p>The house and farm make up an unusually well-preserved 19th-century saltwater farm. The house, which dates to the late 18th or early 19th century, was once part of a larger group of agricultural outbuildings, none of which have survived. The farm was in active use until 1960, and the last of the Pettengills that lived on the farm died in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural style of farmhouse</h2><br>
<p>The farmhouse is a traditional New England saltbox house. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with an integral leanto section sloping down to the rear. It has a central chimney, its exterior is finished in wooden clapboards, and it rests on a stone foundation.</p><br>
<p>The main facade faces south toward the river. On the first floor, there is a single sash window to the left of the entrance and two (nearly adjoining) to the right. The windows of the second story match that of the first plus an additional one in line with door below. The door has a four-light transom above it.</p><br>
<p>The northern (rear) facade has three windows a little off-center to the right.</p><br>
<p>The western side has one window on the first floor, to the right of a side door. There are two windows on the second floor and one in the attic space.</p><br>
<p>A bulkhead is located on the eastern side of the house. There are five windows on this side (with one where the door is on the opposite side).</p><br>
<p>The house has never been modernized, and lacks plumbing, heating (beyond the central chimney), and electricity.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lufkin brothers Aaron and Joseph began buying property on the land in the 1790s. In 1801, around a year after the house was constructed, Joseph sold his interest to his brother. In 1811, Aaron fell into financial difficulty and mortgaged the house to Daniel and Enoch Brewer of Freeport, and the land to David Curtis of Brunswick. Aaron died a year later and the property was sold, at auction, to Curtis, who kept the farm intact.</p><br>
<p>The house was likely uninhabited from 1812 until 1831, at which point Curtis sold the property to Captain James Rodick, who made some improvements to the house. When Rodick died, in 1848, he left the property to his seven children, each of whom received a small lot and a large lot. Rodick&#39;s wife, Patience (b. 1782, d. 1838), died ten years before him. His son, Daniel, inherited the lot that included the house, and in 1861 he sold the house and 35 acres to Daniel Randall who was the owner until his 1866 death.</p><br>
<p>In 1858, Charles Henry Pettengill, a farmer, former sea captain and store owner who lived at nearby Porters Landing, began purchasing parcels of the land. In 1877, he bought the house from Randall&#39;s widow, Rebecca, and eventually merged all of the acreage into one lot of about 120 acres.</p><br>
<p>The Pettengills&#39; dairy cattle grazed on the marsh grasses until milk distributors deemed that their end product was too salty for consumption.</p><br>
<p>Pettengill&#39;s son, Wallace, and daughter-in-law, Adelaide, lived on the property, where they raised three children — Ethel, Frank and Mildred. Ethel died at age 16 or 17.</p><br>
<p>After Wallaces death in 1925, the two remaining children, Frank and Mildred, carried on the farm, along with their dog, Trixie. In 1959, they sold the farm, with a lease-back agreement, to Eleanor Houston Smith who, with her husband, Lawrence, founded Wolfe’s Neck Farm. The Smiths were preservationists and, fascinated by the Pettengills lifestyle, provided life tenancy for them. The Smiths also bought back more of the original acreage that had been part of the farm.</p><br>
<p>Mildred, the last family member, lived in the house part-time until 1965, five years after the death of her brother. She died sixteen years later, in 1981, at the age of 98.</p><br>
<p>In 1975, Eleanor Smith conveyed the house and some of the land to the Freeport Historical Society, and on her death in 1987, aged 77, she left the remaining land and the contents of the house to the society.</p><br>
<p>Freeport Historical Society has conducted eight archaeological surveys at the farm. Results from these surveys indicated that there may have been an earlier, smaller structure on the site of the current house, about one-third of its size. The earlier house may have burned down, as evidenced by charcoal being found in the soil. Clay pipe stems and other artefacts suggested that the original house was built during the late 1600s or, more likely, the 1700s.</p><br>
<p>A hurricane in 1954 destroyed an adjacent 19th-century barn measuring approximately 40 x 34 feet.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, destructive beetles were discovered in the walls of the house.</p><br>
<p>The W.H. Bradford Hook and Ladder Fire House is a historic fire station at 212 Stafford Street in Bennington, Vermont, United States. Built in 1893-94, it served for over a century as a fire house for the city, and survived modernizations with much of its historic fabric intact. It has been converted into artist studios and living space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bradford Hook and Ladder Fire House is located just northeast of downtown Bennington, at the southwest corner of Safford and Gage Streets. The area is mainly residential, with a public park across the street and a manufacturing plant one block to the west. The station is built of brick, and is two stories in height. It has two equipment bays on the ground floor, one of which has an overhead door, and the other has been enclosed by a three-bay wall, with pedestrian entrances in the right two bays, and fixed windows above paneling in the leftmost bay. All three of these bays have two-level transom windows above. On the second floor above each equipment bay are three round-arch windows, with smaller windows flanking a larger one. The interior has retained a number of original finishes, including a wooden ceiling on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1893-94, and originally housed the W.H. Bradford Hook Company on one side, and the F.M. Tiffany Hose Company on the other. The equipment it housed was drawn by horses, and the facility include a tower for drying hoses, which were subject to rot. The tower was demolished in 1912, replaced by a shed which was itself removed sometime after 1921. Also in the 1920s, the left-hand bay was converted to house the office of the fire chief. The station remained in active service until 1997. It has since been converted into studio and living space.</p><br>
<p>The W.H. Tedford House, also known as the Poston House, is an historical building located in Corydon, Iowa, United States. The house was built in 1887 for W.H. Tedford, a local attorney who served as a justice of the district court from 1891 to 1901. The house was sold to Eugene E. Poston after Tedford&#39;s death in 1917, and it remained in that family well into the 20th century. The house is a typical example of late 19th century vernacular Italianate residential architecture found in Iowa. The house features a bracketed cornice and large window hoods. The elaborate woodwork detail of the porch is of particular note. It is capped with a low, crested hipped roof. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>The Tedford Family</h2><br>
<p>William Hamill Tedford was born in Blount County, Tennessee on November 8, 1844. He moved with his parents to Louisa County, Iowa in 1851. In 1861, Tedford enlisted in Company F, Eleventh Iowa Infantry and served four years with the Union army during the USA Civil War. Following the War, he attended Grand View Academy, and then graduated from the Law Department at the State University of Iowa (now, the University of Iowa) in 1869. Shortly after, he began practicing law in Corydon, Iowa, where he was a senior member of the law firm Tedford & Miles from 1873 to 1879. From 1891 to 1901, he was a judge on the district court, prior to returning to private practice with the firm Tedford & Carter in Corydon.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Branch Peoria Public Library is a Carnegie library located at 1312 West Lincoln Avenue in Peoria, Illinois. The city passed a $2,000 annual tax to cover the library&#39;s maintenance. Peoria architecture firm Hotchkiss & Harris supplied a Classical Revival design for the building, and construction began in 1910 and was completed the following year. The new building was dedicated on June 16, 1911.</p><br>
<p>The library became popular with neighborhood residents, setting city records for daily circulation; it also held special collections serving the city&#39;s Lebanese and German immigrant communities.</p><br>
<p>With $500,000 from the Plaedes Foundation, the Lincoln Branch was remodeled in 1993. In June 2009, the library was designed by the City of Peoria as a local historic landmark. The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 2014. In 2014, the Peoria Historical Society awarded the library a Historic Preservation Award.</p><br>
<p>The Otha Walker Homestead is a historic house on the south side of Arkansas Highway 36, east of the small town of West Point, Arkansas. It is a -story double-pile central hall plan structure, topped by a hip roof and clad in novelty siding. A porch extends across the front  facade and around the east side, with a shed roof that has exposed rafter ends, and is supported by wooden box columns. The house, built about 1915, is one of the few of this type built in White County between 1914 and 1939.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Ward-Stout House is a historic house at Front and Walnut Streets in Bradford, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, stucco exterior, and a concrete foundation. The main roof has a large "doghouse" dormer with three sash windows, and projects slightly over the shed roof of the front porch, which is supported by four stuccoed piers. Both roofs have exposed rafter ends. Built about 1932, it is a good example of late Craftsman architecture in the community.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The William Henry Watson Homestead was a historic house on White County Route 68 in Denmark, Arkansas. It was a single story wood frame dogtrot house, with a side gable roof, weatherboard siding, and a foundation of stone piers. Originally built with a single pen about 1890, it was extended at some 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.</p><br>
<p>The Pleasant Hill School, also known as the Little Red School House, is a historic building located north of Lineville in rural Wayne County, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1881 on land that had been purchased for educational purposes in 1873, and it housed a one-room school until 1958. The Grand River Independent School District donated the school building to the Wayne County Historical Society. They maintain it as it was when it served as a schoolhouse. The interior furnishings are authentic, if not original to the building. The school yard is maintained as a roadside park along USA 65. The building follows a rectangular plan that is three bays long and two bays wide. It is capped with a gable roof. A small entryway is located on the south side of the structure. The school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The former Forest City Public Library was a historic building located in Forest City, Iowa, United States. It was one of two libraries in Iowa that were built with public money during the formative period of Iowa library development. The other was in Des Moines. The library here was built almost entirely with donations from the citizens of Forest City, with the rest coming from city funds. The Romanesque Revival structure was completed in 1899 and served Forest City as its library until 1927 when another facility was built. This building was then converted into commercial space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 12 is a Warren pony truss bridge in Hay Creek Township, Minnesota. The bridge is 63 ft long and 16 ft wide and carries Township Road 43 over Bullard Creek. It is built of angle sections riveted together, as recommended in the engineering textbook The Design of Highway Bridges published in 1908. During this time, the state government was attempting to standardize design and construction of bridges by financial incentives, rather than proposing legislation.</p><br>
<p>The county commissioners of Goodhue County decided in late 1907 to build a bridge over Bullard Creek, but they were dissatisfied with the first round of bids. In the spring of 1908, Louis P. Wolff proposed a bridge that would comply with Minnesota Highway Commission rules and regulations. By building a bridge that complied with the rules, the state would subsidize the cost of the bridge through road and bridge appropriations. The county commissioners approved of these ideas and paid Wolff $100 for the plans and blueprints. William P. Glardon from Red Wing, Minnesota was the contractor, and the Minneapolis Steel & Machinery Company fabricated the steel.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is listed on the Iron and Steel Bridges in Minnesota Multiple Property Submission.</p><br>
<p>The Charles J. Thompson House, now known as the Mansion Museum, is a historic building located in Forest City, Iowa, United States. It was designed in the Georgian Revival style by William Jean Beauley of the Chicago architectural firm of Peabody and Beauley. The house was built for a local banker named Charles J. Thompson. The two-story brick structure follows a rectangular plan. It features a hipped roof with deck and a symmetrical facade. The large portico with fluted columns in the Corinthian order and pilasters is the central feature of the house. The house was acquired by the Winnebago Historical Society, which operates it as a local history museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Kickapoo Building is a historic commercial building located at 726 West Main Street in Peoria, Illinois. Built in 1911, the building was originally used as a tied house for the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, which sought to expand its presence in Peoria&#39;s large brewing industry. The two-story building has a flatiron shape, a design which took advantage of its triangular lot. Architect Albert Keifer gave the building a Classical Revival design with German Renaissance Revival features.</p><br>
<p>Flatiron buildings were once commonly built in Peoria as a necessity of the citys geography; while downtown Peoria was built on a grid aligned with the Illinois River, its subsequent additions were usually aligned with the cardinal directions, and extensions of streets from the additions into downtown led to the creation of many triangular lots. The Kickapoo Buildings lot was created by three of these streets, Main Street and Glendale Avenue from the original downtown and Knoxville from the boundaries of several later additions; while it was not the first building on its triangular lot, it was the first one to take full advantage of the space. Modern commercial development and freeway construction eliminated many of Peoria&#39;s diagonal streets downtown, including Knoxville Avenue itself, and took many of its flatiron buildings with it; the Kickapoo Building stands out among the survivors for its decorative commercial storefronts on all three sides.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Carrigan Lane Historic District encompasses four residential structures on or near Carrigan Lane in Bennington, Vermont. All were built between 1875 and 1900, a period of growth in the town, by Thomas Carrigan, a machinist, and are a good example of the town&#39;s development at that time. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Carrigan Lane is a narrow gravel lane between Safford and Division Streets, northeast of central downtown Bennington. The historic district includes the two houses that flank Carrigan Lane but face Safford Street (numbers 316 and 318), and two multiunit residences behind them (numbers 1-3 and 4-10 Carrigan Lane). All are -story wood-frame structures, basically vernacular in plan, with modest Italianate decoration, mainly on their porches. The two Safford Street houses are nearly identical in plan and appearance.</p><br>
<p>The town of Bennington experienced significant growth in its industries (mainly textile-related) in the second half of the 19th century. This growth resulted in increased demand for housing for its workers. Safford Street was laid out about 1850, extending away from Main Street, where the Safford Mills were located. Thomas Carrigan, an immigrant machinist from Ireland, moved to Bennington sometime before 1870, and was by 1880 listed as owner of the two Safford Street houses, which were built about 1875. Around 1890, when Bennington&#39;s knit goods industry began to expand, Carrigan subdivided his property, which apparently extended all the way to Division Street, and two houses were built facing Division Street, and the two multiunit buildings facing Carrigan Lane were built. The two Safford Street houses have also since been converted into multiunit housing.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. E.F. Utley House is a historic house at 401 West Pine Street in Cabot, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame American Foursquare house, with a hip roof, weatherboard siding, and a brick foundation. The roof has gabled dormers that are finished in diamond-cut wooden shingles. A single-story porch extends across the front and wraps around the side, supported by tapered square columns. The house was built sometime between 1914 and 1922, and is Cabot&#39;s best example of a Colonial Revival Foursquare.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Walls Farm Barn and Corn Crib were historic farm outbuildings in rural southern Lonoke County, Arkansas. The barn was a two-story gable-roofed structure, with a broad central hall and a shed-roof extension to one side. The corn crib was a single story frame structure, with a gable-roofed center and shed-roofed extensions around each side. They were built c. 1907–08, and were relatively unaltered examples of period farm architecture when they were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The buildings have been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.</p><br>
<p>The Wheat House is a historic house at 600 Center Street in Lonoke, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and weatherboard siding. Its massing and relatively modest styling are characteristic of the Georgian Revival, although it has a fairly elaborate entry porch, supported by slender Tuscan columns and pilasters. Dentil moulding is found at the base of the main cornice, and those that top the windows. Built c. 1910 to a design by Charles L. Thompson, it is one of Lonoke&#39;s largest and most sophisticated houses.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Winterport Historic District encompasses a significant portion of the town centre of Winterport, Maine. The town was mainly developed in the mid-19th century, when it served as the main winter port for Bangor, and features a high concentration of Greek Revival and Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Winterport is located in northeastern Waldo County, on the west bank of the Penobscot River. Its village center is located in the southeastern part of town, on the banks of the river. Unlike the city of Bangor, 13 mi to the north at the rivers head of navigation, the river at Winterport was always free of ice in winter. Winterport was part of Frankfort until 1860. As Bangors lumber industry boomed, Winterport also grew, as its major supply and shipping point in the winter. Its fortunes were largely ended by the Panic of 1857, resulting in a significant concentration of buildings in the village that were built in the preceding decades.</p><br>
<p>The historic center extends mainly along Main Street (United States Route 1A), from Holmes Street in the south to Cove Brook (just north of Merrill Lane). Additional properties lie in the district on the roads leading toward the river, and inland along Lebanon and Elm Streets, the major roads leading into the towns interior. The district covers 170 acre and includes 150 primary buildings. Many of these are residential properties in the Greek Revival style, and were built between the 1830s and 1850s. Notable non-residential buildings include Winterports Italianate Town Hall, and four 19th-century churches, including the Winterport Congregational Church, whose design is credited to the regionally significant architect Calvin Ryder.</p><br>
<p>Another historic building, the (Old) Commercial House at the corner of Main and Commercial Streets, is a large brick structure built in 1833 - 1834. The original building was financed by the shareholders of the local Voluntary Hotel Association to serve as a way station for businessmen and travelers at this important transportation node between ferry transport up the Penobscot River and coach and goods travel along the north/south highway to Bangor. It was originally planned as a 40 bed hotel, with a large hall on the ground floor. Over the next decades, the Commercial House hall became a popular venue for local events, including the celebration of the Winterport Township Incorporation in 1860. Despite multiple changes in ownership, the hotel and inn continued to be used as a relay point for Concord commercial coaches traveling along the north/south highway.</p><br>
<p>In 1965 the building was gutted by fire following an Independence Day celebration. It was not until 1973 that an investor was found to restore the historic building. It is now run as the, a Bed & Breakfast with an antique store on the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>Bedford House, also known as the Garland Hotel, is a historic building located in Bedford, Iowa, United States. It was built in three stages. The first section was completed in 1857. Additions were completed in 1877 and 1910. Charles Steele, a local businessman, farmer, and banker, had the structure built and was its first owner. The original hotel was used as a stage coach depot until the railroad came to Bedford in 1872. It suffered some damage in a fire that destroyed five other commercial buildings in 1877. Until 1880 the building also housed a jail in the cement fruit cellar. The hotel was renamed the Hotel Garland by its new owner John Clark in 1906. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The building started to fall into disrepair. The 1910 addition collapsed in 2004, which almost led to the building being torn down. Instead it led to a community effort to save the building.</p><br>
<p>The 1877 addition, built by Willard Barrows who owned the hotel at the time, fronts the building on Main Street. The three-story brick structure features a symmetrical, a seven bay facade, with a door in the center bay and five-bay wooden porch. The cornice across the front is pressed-tin supported by brackets. It also possesses a central, protruding panel, and a low balustrade.</p><br>
<p>Bedford Oil Company Station, also known as the Conoco Station Building, is a historic building located in Bedford, Iowa, United States. Partners Wyatt Blakemore and Ralph Thompson had the station built in 1928 on land they had purchased three years prior. The single-story Mission Revival structure was built from April to June by Roy Greenlee, a local contractor. It was the third of three service stations that Blakemore and Thompson built and operated. The garage section of the building was added in 1929. When it closed in 1989 it was the longest operating station in town. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Weber House was a historic house on Elm Street in Russell, Arkansas. It was a single-story wood-frame structure, with a front gable roof, novelty siding, and a foundation of brick piers. The roof extended across a deep porch in front, with decorative knee brackets. Built in 1933, it was a fine example of late Craftsman architecture in Russell.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.</p><br>
