<p>The Albert Whisinant House is a historic house off Arkansas Highway 16 in rural northern White County, Arkansas. It is located southeast of Pangburn, on a drive that originally extended from Green Valley Lane in the north to AR 16 in the south, but is now only accessed from the north. It is a single story vernacular wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, novelty siding, and a foundation of stone piers. In a survey of the county&#39;s historic buildings, it was the only one of its period  that had separate entrances into three separate rooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Williams Homestead, Feed storage Shed is a historic farm outbuilding on Farwell Road, located at the outskirts of Bradford, Arkansas. It is a -story structure, with a gable-roofed box frame structure at its center, flanked by frame shed-roof sections. The central portion was built c. 1915 as a residence. 15 years later , it was converted to a feed shed for various farm animals. It is known for its distinct box frame style constructed in the central section, which is uncommon in the White County.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Bedford Commercial Historic District encompasses most of the central business district of Bedford, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Bedford House/Garland Hotel  is a contributing property.</p><br>
<p>The downtown area originally developed at the intersection of Court and Main Streets, oriented towards the Taylor County Courthouse. After the railroad arrived it started to develop along Main Street, which slopes gradually to the east where the railroad was located. "The Bedford Commercial Historic District is one of the best-preserved collections of brick commercial architecture dating primarily from the late nineteenth century and is a standout, in that regard, in comparison with similar communities in age and size in Iowa."</p><br>
<p>The Northwood Commercial Historic District encompasses most of the central business district along four blocks of Central Avenue in Northwood, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The district contains both frame and brick structures that are from one to three stories tall. Significant structures were built in the Queen Anne and Italianate styles. Most of the buildings in the historic district were builder/contractor designed. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries local builders H. Quandahl and James McQuarrie are associated with commercial construction. A few buildings, however, were the designs of trained architects. The Holland-Haraldson Block and the Odd Fellows-Erickson Block, were designed respectively by St. Paul, Minnesota architects Omeyer & Thori and J.L. Rood. Rood may have been designed the Index Building as well. The Emery Building was designed by Glenn L. Saxton and Hans Enger, who also had an office in St. Paul.</p><br>
<p>The site is its location adjacent to a bend on the north shore of the Shell Rock River. A staircase pathway that leads to flanking stone piers along the river are the contributing structure and one of the objects. The L.T. Dillon Clock and the Haugen Water Fountain are the other two contributing objects.</p><br>
<p>Rhodes Mill is a historic structure located in Fertile, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. He and his son remained in business until 1918.</p><br>
<p>The mill itself is a 2½-story, rectangular, frame structure built on a rubblestone foundation. The building originally measured 42 by. It was extended to a length of 56 ft when a two-story residential space was added. A small shed was added to the facility in 1919, and a concrete dam was built across the river in 1929.</p><br>
<p>Rocky Creek Bridge No. 01089, also known as Ben Jones Bridge, is a concrete highway bridge spanning Rocky Creek along the Pacific Ocean coast of the USA state of Oregon. The bridge crosses a gorge near the creek&#39;s mouth, about 2 mi south of Depoe Bay in Lincoln County.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Conde McCullough, the arch bridge is 360 ft long.</p><br>
<p>The Oregon Department of Transportation repaired and reconstructed parts of the deteriorating bridge in 2001 and added safety features. The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office assisted with the project, and the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Bangor House is a historic former hotel at 174 Main Street in downtown Bangor, Maine. Built in 1833-34 and repeatedly enlarged, the hotel was a major fixture in the city, and one of the nation&#39;s early high-class hotels. It was later converted into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building is located on the south side of downtown Bangor, at the southeast corner of Main and Union Streets. The U-shaped building occupies a slightly irregular city block, and is bounded on its southern sides by May Street and Gallagher Place. It is a four-story building, built out of brick and stone, with the ground floor of its early sections built out of granite blocks, with brick walls above. Porticoed entrances face both Union and Main Streets, with a stone arcade on the ground floor supporting a four-column porch on Union Street and a simpler balustraded portico with supporting square stone columns and pilasters facing Main Street. A small balcony with large Italianate brackets stands above the Main Street entrance on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built in 1833-34 by group of Bangor businessmen, seeking to create a public accommodation similar to that of the Tremont House in Boston, an 1829 hotel that was then regarded as one of the pinnacles of luxury accommodation. The main building has retained its exterior despite a significant number of later alterations and enlargements. Originally built in a U open to the south, the inside of the U was in 1869 filled in with a billiard hall, and wings were added to the east and south. Many of the additions have since been torn down as part of the building&#39;s conversion to apartments, replaced by residential wings that now give the building an east-facing U shape.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Dorset Village Historic District encompasses a significant portion of the village center of Dorset, Vermont. Centered at the junction of Church Street, Kent Hill Road, and Vermont Route 30, the village was developed between the late 18th and early 20th centuries, and has a number of well-preserved unusual features, including sidewalks of marble from local quarries. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and was enlarged to the west in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Dorset is a town in northern Bennington County, in the Taconic Range of western Vermont. Its village center is in the western portion of the town, whose major north–south route, Vermont Route 30, traverses the valley of the Mettawee River. At its junction with Church Street and Kent Hill Road, Route 30 is on the east side of the river, with Church Street extending west, across the river, to West Road. These two roads form the heart of the district, which extends north and south from their junction. A cluster of wood frame commercial buildings are to be found there, along with a number of mainly 19th-century wood-frame houses. Notable public buildings include the marble-faced Gothic Revival Congregational Church, and the c. 1800 Sykes Memorial Building of the Dorset Village Library. Some of the sidewalks along Church Street are faced in marble, quarried locally at some Vermont&#39;s oldest marble quarries. Extending westward along Church Street the village becomes more dispersed and residential, although there was once a gristmill adjacent to Prentiss Pond. The district also includes the Dorset Golf Links, one of the oldest golf courses in the nation (founded 1886).</p><br>
<p>The town of Dorset was chartered in 1768, and it was at the tavern of Cephas Kent (about 2 mi south of the village center), that the idea of Vermonts independence from the claims of New York and New Hampshire was first discussed in 1777. This was followed later in the year by the establishment of the Vermont Republic, which operated independently until becoming the fourteenth state in 1791. Dorset grew first as a mainly agricultural area, but received a significant boost when marble from its quarries became prized for a variety of projects nationwide. The lack of significant water power, and later of good rail connections, limited the village centers growth in the 19th century, and it was eclipsed in importance by East Dorset.</p><br>
<p>When the historic district was first listed on the National Register in 1985, it only extended as far west as Prentiss Pond, roughly midway along Church Street. It was enlarged in 1997 to include the residential areas west of the pond to West Road, extending north and south along that road for a way.</p><br>
<p>The Moorehead Stagecoach Inn is a historic building located in Ida Grove, Iowa, United States. The Western Stage Line began to operate stagecoaches from Lizzard Point  to Sergeant Bluff  in 1855. The following year John H. Moorehead began building this inn. It was completed in 1863, and it was the first building constructed in Ida Grove. It is a 1½-story, L-shaped, frame structure with twelve rooms. The building served a variety of purposes in its early days. Two years after Ida County was organized it became the county courthouse and remained so until 1871. The building also housed the post office, as well as religious, educational, and commercial purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Moorehead Stagecoach Inn is now located in Moorehead Pioneer Park, which is under the direction of the Ida County Conservation Board. It is the only historic structure in the park that is on its original site and is open to the public on Sundays in the summer. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The White County Courthouse is located at Court Square in the center of Searcy, Arkansas, the county seat of White County. It is a two-story structure, built out of stone and brick, with a hip roof capped by an elaborate cupola with clock faces in its bowed roof. The building is roughly H-shaped, with wings at the sides that project slightly to the front and rear. The ground floor is faced in dressed stone, while the upper floor is finished in brick. Entrance is made through an arcade of rounded arches, which support a Greek pedimented temple projection that has four fluted Corinthian columns. The courthouse was built in 1871 and enlarged by the addition of the wings in 1912. In addition, repairs were conducted by the Civil Works Administration in 1933.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>

It was built by McCormack Construction Company of Lohrville, Iowa for $30,900, and completed in 1930. The bridge is made up of two skewed trusses that are supported by concrete abutments and piers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Missouri, Iowa & Nebraska Railway Co. Depot-Weldon, also known as Weldon Depot, is a historic structure located in Weldon, Iowa, United States. The Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska Railway Company  was established in 1870 with the merger of the Alexandria and Nebraska City Railroad Company and the Iowa Southern Railway under the direction of Francis M. Drake. The MI&N decided to extend the line from Corydon, Iowa to Van Wert. J.P. Kline sold the railroad 70 acre of farmland on which the town of Weldon was founded. The railroad began construction of the Weldon Depot in 1880, the same year the town was laid out. The depot was completed the following year. The MI&N was reorganized in 1886 as the Keokuk & Western Railroad. They operated the rail line through Weldon until 1901 when it became part of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Passenger service continued in Weldon until December 1945. The last freight train went through the station in January 1946. The tracks were torn out when the railroad ceased service on the line. The depot was given to the town of Weldon, which maintains it. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The depot is a single-story, frame structure the measures 18.5 by. The building&#39;s original foundation was made up of railroad tie pilings set in the ground. It was replaced in 1989. The exterior walls are composed of vertical barn board and batten siding. It is capped with a gable roof, with wooden brackets under the eaves.</p><br>
<p>Liberty Hall is a historic building located in Lamoni, Iowa, United States. The house, built in 1881, served as the residence of Joseph Smith III when he served as the president and prophet of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints when it was headquartered in Lamoni. Local carpenter Thomas Jacobs built the house in a vernacular Victorian style. Smith left the house in 1906 when the church headquarters transferred to Independence, Missouri. Its name was changed to Liberty Home after 1906 when it became one of two church homes for aged members. In 1926 the house became a part of a church owned Holstein dairy operation, which closed due to the Great Depression in 1932. From 1934 to 1941 it housed a Civilian Conservation Corps office. After its service to the CCC it returned to being a church home for the aged. The church, now known as the Community of Christ, continues to operate the house as a museum. It was restored beginning in 1973 to look the way it did during Smith&#39;s occupancy. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Peoria Warehouse Historic District is a historic industrial district located to the southwest of downtown Peoria, Illinois. The district includes 68 buildings, 59 of which are considered contributing to its historic status; these buildings include warehouses and other industrial structures and were built from the 1880s through the 1920s. The buildings generally have utilitarian designs inspired by the Chicago school and are built with reinforced concrete frames and brick exteriors.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Peoria became a significant industrial and shipping center in the late 19th century, and development boomed in the district due to its access to the Illinois River and the citys numerous rail lines. The industries present in the district reflected the citys economy as a whole and included brewing and distillery, the manufacture of farm implements, and iron and steel production.</p><br>
<h2>Revitalization</h2><br>
<p>In the 21st century, the warehouse district has undergone a revitalization, with some of the buildings being repurposed for residential, retail, and small business use. This work has been encouraged by the city government and by the private Downtown Development Corporation of Peoria. It has been financed in part by the creation of a tax increment financing district.</p><br>
<p>Rhodell Brewery is a craft brewery and taproom that opened in 1998, a harbinger of both the warehouse district revitalization and the craft beer boom. In 2015 the brewery moved several blocks from its original location on Water Street to a new, larger location in the Murray Building on Walnut Street. In addition to selling its own beer on premise (including cask conditioned ale), Rhodell has a "brew on premise" program where amateur brewers can make their own beer using the brewery&#39;s equipment.</p><br>
<p>Bearded Owl Brewing was a craft brewery and taproom on State Street. It opened for business in 2018 and closed in December 2023.</p><br>
<p>Other dining and drinking destinations that have opened in rehabilitated buildings in the warehouse district include the Thyme Kitchen + Craft Beer restaurant and the Zion Coffee Bar.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office and Courthouse, located at 100 Northeast Monroe Street in Peoria, Illinois, is a USA district courthouse for the Central District of Illinois.

<p>The Downtown Bennington Historic District encompasses the historic commercial heart of Bennington, Vermont. Centered on the junction of Main, South, and North Streets, it exhibits a variety of commercial architectural styles from the early 19th to mid-20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and was enlarged in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bennington&#39;s historic downtown extends along United States Route 7 (North and South Streets), from Elm Street in the south to the Walloomsac River in the north, and along Vermont Route 9, from a short way west of its junction with US 7 to Silver Street. It includes a broad diversity of commercial, civic, and cultural buildings, dating mainly from the second quarter of the 19th century to the early 20th century. Prominent civic buildings are the town hall (an 1846 Greek Revival building), the county courthouse (1936, Colonial Revival), and the Old Bennington Post Office (1914, Classical Revival, now the police station).</p><br>
<p>The town of Bennington is the largest town in southwestern Vermont, and is one of two shire towns of Bennington County. It has long been a civic and economic center of the region, and was the first town to receive an official charter in what is now the state of Vermont. That charter was issued in 1749 by Benning Wentworth, the colonial governor of New Hampshire, who sought to establish his provinces claim to the area. The towns original center was on a nearby hill (at what is now called Old Bennington), and grew economically around a crossroads (now US 7 and VT 9). This area flourished in the 19th century because of the water power provided by the Walloomsac River to its industries, its rise in political importance cemented in the 1870s with the construction of a new courthouse. Bennington&#39;s industrial economic success continued in the 20th century, and the town retains an economically diversified economy.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. James House was a historic house at West Center and South Gum Streets in Searcy, Arkansas. It was a two-story brick building, with a gabled roof and a brick foundation. A shed-roofed porch extended around its front and side, supported by square posts.

A cross gable extends across the centers of these two arches, and there is a smaller and steeper arch above the main entrance, which is set between the right arch and a chimney with stepped stone shoulders. The house was built in 1929, and is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of English Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The J.J. McClung House is a historic structure located in Garden Grove, Iowa, United States. A native of Ohio, James Johnson McClung moved to Garden Grove in 1879. He owned and operated a livery and dray business, where he carried the mail from the train to the post office for 53 years. With the advent of the automobile, he built the first service station in Decatur County in 1925. The house was built from 1908 to 1909 by Wiley Sells of Leon, Iowa and remained in the McClung family for 80 years. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The McClung house is a 2½-story, frame structure. Lamoni, Iowa architect Charles F. Church designed the house in a combination of the Neoclassical and Colonial Revival styles.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Flanders Block is a historic commercial building in Madelia, Minnesota, United States, built in 1872. From 1872 to 1878 it served as the county seat building of Watonwan County, housing the courthouse, offices, and jail. Flanders Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its local significance in the theme of politics/government.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Flanders&#39; Block has eight arched windows on the second level. It was originally built with five arched windows on the main level and a conventional storefront in the remaining three bays. At the time of its National Register nomination, the street facades were covered by later remodelings, but the owner subsequently removed the sheathing and restored the original storefront.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city of Madelia was platted in 1857 along the Watonwan River. Watonwan County was established in 1860 and its first county seat was in Madelia. The original courthouse was a wood frame structure, but it was destroyed in a fire. Joseph Flanders, the county&#39;s first registrar of deeds, had just built the two-story building on Main Street. He leased the upper floor for a courtroom, part of the first floor for county offices, and part of the basement for the jail. The Watonwan County Bank occupied the rest of the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The local newspaper was critical of this arrangement. An editorial that appeared in the Madelia Times in 1875 said: One of the evidences of the dictatorial spirit with which J. Flanders attempts to run this county, subservient to his arbitrary will, is evidenced by the manner in which he put the county offices out of possession of the rooms, whose use belongs to the county, and to no one else, for county purposes under a lease of ten years, or so long as it may be needed for said purposes, by the county seat remaining at this place. It is a shame and a disgrace that our county officers should be even asked to vacate the apartments provided for them by the said lease, which was accepted by the county board and put on record, and be moved into another room, which is not well lighted, to suit the caprice of one dictating official, simply that he may use the room which rightfully belongs to the county, to accomplish selfish ends. Still worse than this, however, a part of the officers were not even requested to move, but without being consulted and in their absence, their desks, books and papers were removed.</p><br>
<p>Madelia was unable to hold on to county seat status, however, and in 1878 the government was moved to St. James. In later years, Flanders&#39; Block was home to an International Order of Odd Fellows lodge upstairs, and the main floor has housed various commercial establishments.</p><br>
<p>The Watonwan County Courthouse in St. James, Minnesota, United States, is the seat of government for Watonwan County, in continual use since it was completed in 1896. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 for having state-level significance in the themes of architecture and politics/government. It was nominated for its exemplary Romanesque Revival architecture, its status as one of Minnesota&#39;s remaining monumental Victorian courthouses and as a local landmark, and its longstanding service as county seat.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When Watonwan County was initially created in 1860, the city of Madelia was designated the county seat and a courthouse was built there around 1861. As St. James—a more centrally located community and a division headquarters for the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway—grew, a heated battle for county seat status erupted between the two cities. When the original wood-frame courthouse burned down in 1872, Madelia officials hastily leased space in a recently completed commercial building—Flanders&#39; Block—to avoid losing county seat status. However St. James interests petitioned for a vote on the matter and in 1874 voters approved the move. The first courthouse in St. James was a wood-frame structure built on land donated by the railroad. A new courthouse, the present building, was designed by Mankato architect H.C. Gerlach and built by Mankato contractor Otto Kleinschmidt from 1895 to 1896. The building served as a show of government strength and traditional values in a city that was only 25 years old. It is monumental in size and design, and a county-wide survey of historic properties identified it as one of the most architecturally significant Victorian buildings in the county.</p><br>
<p>Sandy Creek Bridge is a covered bridge spanning Sandy Creek near the community of Remote in southwestern Oregon in the United States. The bridge crosses the creek near its mouth on the Middle Fork Coquille River in Coos County.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1921, the bridge carried Oregon Route 42 over the creek until bypassed by a newer bridge in 1949. In 1984, after restoration by volunteers from the Lions Club of Myrtle Point, the structure became a display in a county park at the same site. It is the only remaining covered bridge in Coos County.</p><br>
<p>Special features of the bridge include large side openings and a truss made of two crossed Howe truss members on each chord. The bridge is 60 ft long. It was added the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Berkley Common Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic heart of Berkley, Massachusetts. The towns village center is located near its geographic center, roughly midway between Massachusetts Route 24 and the Taunton River. Its central focus is the triangular town common, bounded by Main, Locust, and Porter Streets. The common is flanked by a number municipal and civic buildings, and has been the towns focus of civic life for more about 275 years.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Sexton Hotel, also known as Hotel Stuart, is a historical building located in Stuart, Iowa, United States. The building is a two-story, L-shaped, brick and brick veneer structure that was built in two parts. The oldest section was a frame building built by John Sexton in 1893 and housed a restaurant. It was moved to the north and the brick hotel wing was built by Sexton in 1907. The older structure, now the north wing of the larger building, was covered with brick veneer. The primary entry into the hotel is located in the canted entrance bay on the southwest corner of the building. There were 28 guest rooms, and the first floor of the north wing housed the dining hall. The first floor also housed a large lobby, the owners quarters, and some of the guest rooms.</p><br>
<p>The hotel served the needs of rail and highway travelers. It sat across the street from the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad depot, which is still standing. Front Street was a part of the first major highway across Iowa known as the "Great White Way", or the "White Pole Road." It later became USA Route 6. In the 1920 the name of the hotel was changed to Hotel Stuart. The hotel became an agent for the Greyhound Bus Lines in 1938. Interstate 80 opened to the south of Stuart in 1960, and took highway traffic away from town. The rail depot also closed. Hotel operations were discontinued in the 1970s, and the building served as an apartment building until 1999. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Windswept is a historic summer cottage at 421 Petit Manan Point Road in Steuben, Maine. Built sometime between 1928 and 1934, it was from 1941 until 1955 the summer home of Mary Ellen Chase , one of Maine&#39;s most important regional writers of the period. It was the inspiration for her bestselling work, Windswept. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Windswept is located in southern Steuben, a coastal community of Down East Maine. It is on the west side of Petit Manan Point near its southern end, set on 5 acre at Yellow Birch Point. The main house is a single story wood-frame structure, consisting of two equal-sized gabled sections set parallel to each other and joined by a cross-gabled hyphen. The structure is oriented facing southwest, about 100 ft from the shore, with views over grasses and low blueberry bushes to the Gulf of Maine and the Schoodic Peninsula. A low picket fence creates a courtyard between the wings east of the hyphen, and a wide deck extends across the western facade. The window shutters have pine tree cutouts, and the building exhibits restrained Colonial Revival symmetry. To the northeast of the house is a small barn with attached shed, both of uncertain date. The complex is sheltered to the east by a small copse of trees, through which its access drive passes.</p><br>
<p>Windswept was built sometime between 1928 and 1934 by G. Horton Glover of Florida, and was part of an ultimately unsuccessful effort to develop Petit Manan Point as a summer destination. Mary Ellen Chase, a Maine native who was then a professor at Smith College and already a well-known regional writer, rented the cottage in 1940, and purchased it the following year. In 1941 her novel Windswept was published, and was an immediate success. Chase&#39;s biographers claim that some of her best writing took place here in the following years.</p><br>
<p>The East Arlington Village Historic District encompasses the historic core of a 19th-century village in Arlington and Sunderland, Vermont, United States. It is centered on Old Mill Road, and developed as a mill village beginning in the 18th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>East Arlington is located in central eastern Arlington, a town on Vermonts western border with New York, and overlaps slightly into neighboring Sunderland. It is north of Vermont Route 313 and west of United States Route 7, the major north–south route through western Vermont. The village was settled in the 1760s, and is one of the earliest colonial settlements in the state. Settlers were drawn by the water power provided by Peters Branch and Warm Brook, which powered the areas industries into the early 20th century. The village was bypassed by the railroad (which runs to the west, by Arlingtons central village), and its water power was relatively modest, leading to a decline in industrial activity. In the early 20th century, the Hale Company expanded operations, despite these limitations; portions of its mill complex still survive.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is organized around the villages major roadways, which are East Arlington Street and Ice Pond Road, running roughly east–west, and Warm Brook Road and Old Mill Road, which run generally north–south, with a further extension along Kansas Road into Sunderland to the east. Most of the buildings in the district are Greek Revival in style, an indication of the villages most significant period of growth (in the second quarter of the 19th century), although earlier Federal and later Italianate and Queen Anne styles are also represented. Most of these are vernacular in expression, and a number of buildings have been at least partly compromised by the application of 20th-century siding. There is no central common or open green space, a typical feature of many New England villages, and there is only one church, the 1845-48 Greek Revival Congregational Church.</p><br>
<p>The Jack Wood House is a historic house on Judson Avenue in Judsonia, Arkansas. It is an L-shaped wooden structure, clad in weatherboard siding, and presently exhibiting Craftsman styling, the result of a major restyling in c. 1924. The oldest portion of the house was built about 1890, and is a rare local example of box frame construction, with vertical planking as the main means of support, joined to the sills and rafters by square-cut nails. A more conventionally framed ell and the front porch were added about 1907.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Avanell Wright House is a historic house at Main and Pine Streets in Pangburn, Arkansas. It is a single story L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a stone foundation, novelty siding, and a cross-gable roof that has a central pyramidal section. The roof line of the central section extends downward over a porch located in the crook of the L, with Tuscan columns for support. The house was built about 1910, and is one of relatively few surviving houses from that period in the community.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Jim Wright Farmstead Historic District encompasses a well-preserved early 20th-century farmstead in rural White County, Arkansas. The property is located on the south side of Arkansas Highway 258, east of its junction with Arkansas Highway 323, northwest of Bald Knob. It includes a Craftsman style single-story wood-frame farmhouse, with a wraparound porch supported by simple Doric columns, a simple wood-frame garage, and a single-story wood-frame house for tenant workers. It also includes remnants of the farmsteads first house and barn, silo, and a cattle dipping vat. This land was homesteaded in 1860 by the parents of Jim Wright, who is credited with construction of most of the farmsteads surviving features, which were built between 1924 and 1940.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Brumbaugh Bridge was a covered bridge in Lane County in the USA state of Oregon. Built in 1948, the structure originally carried Row River Road over Mosby Creek near Cottage Grove. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and was subsequently delisted.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was demolished in 1979. Some of its timbers were combined with timbers from Meadows Bridge, also demolished in 1979, to construct a covered pedestrian bridge, Centennial Covered Bridge, over the Coast Fork Willamette River in Cottage Grove.</p><br>
<p>The Howe truss structure, 90 ft long, was the second covered bridge at this location. The first Brumbaugh Bridge was a 92 ft Howe truss structure built in 1925.</p><br>
<p>Cornelia Lake Bridge is a historic structure located northeast of Clarion, Iowa, United States. The bridge was originally constructed over the Iowa River in 1877. It was built by A.S. Leonard by using steel supplied by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company. It was named the Berry Bridge after local landowner James Berry for most of its existence. It was replaced by a new span in 1986 and the main span of this bridge was moved to Cornelia Lake</p><br>
<p>Park where it serves as a pedestrian bridge over a small inlet. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Boone River Bridge is a historic structure located north of Goldfield, Iowa, United States. It is a 6-panel, 128 ft Warren Pony truss span over the Boone River. The construction began in 1910. The bridge was built in 1912 by the Iowa Bridge Company using steel fabricated at the Cambria steel mills in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The Boone River Bridge is one of the few remaining multiple span pin-connected Pratt trusses in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was rehabilitated in 1940.</p><br>
<p>The Eagle Grove Public Library, now the Eagle Grove Historical Museum, is a historical building in Eagle Grove, Iowa, United States. A subscription library was begun in Eagle Grove around 1885, and housed in the post office. The impetus for the first free public library was a 1901 advertising campaign by a Des Moines insurance and investment company. When local citizens bought company&#39;s bonds, the company</p><br>
<p>donated 250 books to the town. The books were housed in the Masonic Hall. The Carnegie Corporation of New York accepted Eagle Grove&#39;s application for a grant for $10,000 to build a library building on April 26, 1902. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm Smith & Gage in the Beaux Arts style. The library was dedicated on September 15, 1903. It is a brick structure with a conical-roofed entrance pavilion. Four engaged columns in the Ionic order flank the main entryway. The public library has subsequently moved to a larger facility, and the old library building was turned over to the local historical society for a museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Pilot Grove State Preserve is a historic site located southwest of Williamsburg, Iowa, United States in rural Iowa County. The site is a wooded knoll surrounded by prairie between the North English River and Old Mans Creek. It consists of hickory, oak and walnut trees, along with patches of virgin prairie covered with bluestem, gramma, switch and Indian grasses, and a variety of native prairie wildflowers. There was no other timber in the area during the early years of Iowas settlement, and it was a landmark for the pioneers traveling west across the state. It was given its name because it gave people who traveled to and from Marengo, Iowa a sense of direction. A 4 acre cemetery was established adjacent to the knoll in 1867. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The property had been owned by the Kelting family, who donated it to the Iowa Conservation Commission so that they could restore it and maintain its mid-19th-century condition at the time of Iowa&#39;s pioneer settlement. It was dedicated as a historical state preserve in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Knox County Courthouse, located on the public square of Knoxville near its associated hall of records, is the former county courthouse of Knox County, Illinois. The courthouse was built in 1840 to replace the countys first courthouse; built in 1831 shortly after the countys organization, it had been outgrown by the end of the decade. Architect John Mandeville gave the building its Greek Revival design. The Hall of Records, which was designed by Charles Ulricson, was added in 1854 to house county records after the courthouse ran out of space for them. The Knox County seat moved to Galesburg in 1873; the courthouse and hall of records subsequently housed the Knoxville city hall and public library respectively until 1978, when the city government moved to the hall and the courthouse became a museum.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Equinox House Historic District encompasses the historic center of the village of Manchester, Vermont. It includes a small group of civic and commercial buildings around the junction of Main Street  and Union Street, with the luxury Equinox House hotel as its primary focus. The district, developed as a tourist destination in the late 1800s, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and enlarged in 1980. It is a small portion of the Manchester Village Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Manchester is a town in northern Bennington County, Vermont, with its village center on the east side of Equinox Mountain. The heart of the village is at the junction of Vermont 7A, formerly the major north–south route through the area, and Union Street, which extends east toward the Battenkill River. The area has long been known for the spa waters that came down from the mountain, and has since the mid-19th century been a tourist destination. The Equinox Hotel, one of Vermont&#39;s few surviving 19th-century grand hotels, anchors the west side of the village, and has catered to many prominent visitors over its long history. Prominent guests included Mary Todd Lincoln and her son Robert, who later built the Hildene estate to the south, and Ulysses S. Grant.</p><br>
<p>Across Main Street from the hotel, facing either Main Street or Union Street, are a number of civic and commercial buildings, all built before 1872. Notable among these are the First Congregation Church, built in 1871 and the town&#39;s tallest building, and the Bennington County Courthouse (1822). Of commercial note is the Orvis Building, where in 1856 Charles Orvis founded the eponymous company that dominates the fly-fishing market. A number of the buildings in the center are associated with the Orvises, who were an economically significant force in the town for many years.</p><br>
<p>The Equinox Hotel was listed on the National Register in 1972. In 1980 the listing was enlarged to include the other buildings; all of these are also contributing elements to the Manchester Village Historic District.</p><br>

<p>The Blessing Homestead is a historic farmstead in rural northeastern Faulkner County, Arkansas. It is located overlooking the west bank of East Fork Cadron Creek, on Happy Valley Road east of County Road 225E, between McGintytown and Centerville. The central feature of the homestead is a dogtrot house, with one pen built of logs and the other of wood framing. The log pen was built about 1872, and typifies the evolutionary growth of these kinds of structures. It is the only remaining structure associated with the early history of Barney, most of which was wiped out by a tornado in 1915.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>

Contractor Alvah Wheeler built the two-story brick building for $7,724. The county&#39;s only official hanging was conducted at the jail in 1873, when John M. Osborne was executed for the murder of Adelia Matthews; several hundred people came to watch his execution. Later in the same year, the county seat and the jail were both moved to Galesburg; the Knoxville jail is now part of the Knox County Museum.</p><br>
<p>The jail was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The J. Newton Conger House is a historic house located at 334 North Knox Street in Oneida, Illinois. P. G. Hubbard had the house built in 1860; four years later, it was sold to J. Newton Conger, a livestock shipper and prominent local citizen. The house has a Carpenter Gothic design described as the best example of the style in Knox County.

<p>The E.J. Baird House is a historic building located in Millersburg, Iowa, United States. Baird was a prominent citizen here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He grew very wealthy through his involvement in commerce, banking, and farming. Baird operated a very successful general store in Millersburg, which was the primary source of his income. His 2½-story frame house is an outstanding example of Victorian "pattern book" architecture, with influences from the Victorian Gothic, Queen Anne, and Eastlake styles. The Victorian Gothic is found in the vergeboard on the gable ends. The Queen Anne style is found in the two-story projecting bay that is capped with a pyramid-shaped roof. The Eastlake influence is more dominant than the others. Its decorative influence is found in the sunburst on the projecting front dormer, the decorative brackets along the eaves, and the large porch with its lattice-like base, spindle balustrades, and turned posts. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Fred G. Turner House, also known as Valley View Farm, is a historic building located in rural Iowa County, Iowa near the town of North English. Turner moved to this area with his family in 1866. He married in 1893 and inherited the family farm. By 1899 the farm included 500 acre. In addition to farming, Turner was involved in politics, serving on the local school board, two terms in the Iowa House of Representatives, and as a county supervisor. The farm remained in the family until 1959. Although a free classic Queen Anne house is unusual in rural Iowa, this house is one of four in the immediate area. It was designed and built by local contractor Leslie Roller. The house features a pyramid hipped roof, lower cross gables, an irregular plan, corner turret, contrasting use of wood shingles on the gable and turret, and an asymmetrical porch. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The David and M. Maria Hughes House is a historic building located in Williamsburg, Iowa, United States. David Hughes, a Williamsburg native, was serving as Iowa County Superintendent of Schools and deputy clerk of court when he established the Iowa Lumber Company. The company was renamed Hughes and Brother Lumber when his brother John joined the business. The brothers became wealthy as the result of a building boom in town after the arrival of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad in 1884. David&#39;s wife M. Maria  Hughes was a school teacher. Because of poor eyesight, Hughes retired the year the house was completed, and he sold his share of the business to his brother. He and his wife relocated to their other home in Long Beach, California in 1906, where they owned a considerable amount of real estate. The house remained a single-family dwelling until 1951 when it was divided into three apartments. Starting in the 1980s three separate owners have worked to return the house to its original floor plan.</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Rapids, Iowa architectural firm of Dieman and Fiske designed the Hughes&#39; house, and it was constructed by local builder Will Long. The -story frame structure is a free classic Queen Anne house built on a limestone foundation. It features a wraparound porch, a hipped roof with a front dormer and cross gables, and a corner tower with a finial. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
