The fairgrounds were established in 1869 when the fair moved to Aledo; from its creation in 1853 until then, it had taken place in Millersburg. The early fairs mainly focused on agricultural exhibitions, and the first two buildings were used for horticulture exhibits and household floral shows; these fairs also included entertainment such as baseball games and band concerts. By the end of the century, the fair had grown to host 8,000 visitors, many who came from neighboring counties by train, and show 3,000 entries in its various agricultural competitions. The fair added traveling entertainment and grew to host over 20,000 visitors in the 20th century; it is still held annually at the fairgrounds. In addition to the county fair, the fairgrounds have also held horse races, political events, picnics, and other community events.</p><br>
<p>The fairgrounds were added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1997.</p><br>

<p>Johnny Seesaws is a historic country lodge on Vermont Route 11, near the Bromley Mountain Ski Area in Peru, Vermont. Established in 1924, the lodge was an influential component of the early success of downhill skiing in southwestern Vermont, and is the place where events leading to the founding of both the National Ski Patrol and the United States Armys 10th Mountain Division took place. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, and was delisted in 2023. It is a full-service facility, offering accommodations, meals, and activities in all seasons.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Johnny Seesaws is located in the Green Mountains of northeastern Bennington County, a short way east of the Bromley Mountain Ski Area, on the north side of Vermont Route 11. The main building is a 1-1/2 saddle-notched log structure with a broad gabled roof, with a shed-roofed wing to one side and a frame addition to the rear. Principal features of the front are a large fieldstone chimney, and a single-story porch extending across the front and around to the left side. Attached to one of the rear corners is the home of the lodges builder, Ivan Sesow, which is now called the Annex. The property includes a number of guest cabins in a variety of styles; the most distinctive is a c. 1954 cabin done in the "butterfly" style promoted by architect Marcel Breuer.</p><br>
<p>The property has a documented history as an inn dating back to 1835, when Benamin Barnard, Jr. established an inn and tavern at this location. In 1924, John Ivan Sesow, a Russian immigrant who worked in the area&#39;s declining lumber industry, purchased the property and built the lodge as a dance hall and entertainment venue. Its design is supposedly based on that of the Russian izba, and was built over three years by Sesow and friends from the lumber camps, using only hand tools.</p><br>
<p>Sesows Pavilion did well until Prohibition came to an end, and the Great Depression set in. The Sesows abandoned it in 1932, and the property was foreclosed the following year. In 1938, it was purchased by Lew deSchweinitz and Bill and Mary Parrish, who turned it into ski lodge, serving the recently established Bromley Mountain ski area. It was called "Johnny Seesaws" in honor of its builder. They built a bunkhouse, and made other additions and alterations over the years.</p><br>
<p>Johnny Seesaws was visited in its first year by Charles "Minnie" Dole, the founder of the National Ski Patrol, and hosted celebrities such as aviator Charles Lindbergh and future United States President Gerald Ford. Doles activities, in addition to founding the ski patrol, included aggressively promoting the development of a military unit specializing in mountain and winter warfare, which eventually became the 10th Mountain Division.</p><br>

<p>The Lu Verne City Jail, also known as the Old Calaboose, is a historic building located in Lu Verne, Iowa, United States. The city built its first jail in 1899. On May 6, 1912, they decided to build the current structure at the same location. They sold the old building, and C. Black completed the new 14 by structure for $181.15. The single-story building is composed of concrete blocks that were cast to resemble cut stone. E.T. Barnum Ironworks of Detroit, Michigan provided the parts for the cells. The jail housed short-term offenders, usually those who were inebriated, committed petty crimes, and later hobos. The building also housed the fire department&#39;s hose cart. It served as a jail until 1934 when a new city hall was built. The jail cells were moved there at that time, and this building housed a welding shop sometime after that.

<p>The Iowana Hotel, now known simply as The Iowana, is a historic building located in Creston, Iowa, United States. Because Creston was on the mainline of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and it was a divisional headquarters, it received a steady flow of visitors. Hotels that featured fireproof construction and modern amenities, such as this one, started to enter Iowas secondary markets in the 1910s and 1920s. A group of local businessmen formed the Hotel Investment Company, and built the hotel. They hired the Chicago architectural firm H.L. Stevens & Company, known for its hotels, to design and build the Iowana. The building was constructed from 1919 to 1920. It served as Crestons primary hotel until about 1958 when more convenient and economical motels were built along the highway. By this time rail travel was declining and highway travel was increasing. The Hotel Investment Company sold the building in 1971. It continued in operation under various owners into the 1980s. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It stood vacant for several years until it was transformed into an apartment building.</p><br>
<p>The six-story brick building measures 80 by. A 40 by annex is located to the west. The upper floors are set back in the rear and form an L-shape. Over-all, the Early Commercial style structure is plain in appearance. The decorative details are found in the wide first floor windows of the commercial space that feature elliptical arches with cast stone spring blocks and keystones. Another decorative feature is found at the top of the building where a modified entablature incorporates the brick-framed windows and the stucco panels between them into the architrave. Above it is a simple brick wall that acts as a frieze and a cast stone cornice above it.</p><br>
<p>The Sherrard Banking Company is a historic bank located at 314 Third Street in the village of Sherrard, Illinois. David Sherrard had the bank built in 1896, two years after he founded the village. The two-story brick building has a Late Victorian commercial design. The main entrance is at the front corner of the building; a pyramidal tower projects from the steep roof above the entrance. The building&#39;s decorations includes an arched entrance and stone window sills and lintels; its relative lack of ornamentation signifies the shift away from the elaborate features widely used earlier in the Victorian period. The first floor of the building was used for the bank, while the second held private professional offices, a common configuration at the time.</p><br>
<p>The bank was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1996.</p><br>

<p>The Plummer-Motz School, formerly Falmouth High School, is a former school building at 192 Middle Road in Falmouth, Maine. Built in the 1930s, it was the town&#39;s first high school, serving as first a high school, and later as a junior high school and elementary school, until its closure in 2011. The building has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Plummer-Motz Schools is located south of Falmouth&#39;s town center, at the southwest corner of Middle and Lunt Roads. The Plummer School building, originally the high school, is the more northerly part of the complex. It is a two-story Colonial Revival masonry building, with a central portion flanked by projecting wings. It is covered by a dormered gambrel roof with shingled ends and dormers, with a cupola at the center. It was at one time joined by a hyphen to the adjacent Motz School, a pair of single-story gable-roofed buildings. The hyphen was removed in 2014, when the town divided the property and sold the Plummer School building.</p><br>
<p>Prior to construction of the Plummer School, Falmouth&#39;s high school students were educated by arrangement in the schools of adjacent towns. Need for a town high school was identified in 1928, and the central portion and one wing of the Plummer School building were constructed in 1931, to a design by Portland architect John P. Thomas. The second wing was added in 1936 when additional financing was made available. The town continued to grow rapidly over the following decades, resulting the construction of the adjacent school buildings and the eventual conversion of this building to a junior high school. Sometime prior to the 1959-1960 school year the combined Plummer and Motz buildings were converted into an elementary school, a use that continued until 2011. The town in 2013 sold the Plummer School to a developer, who converted it to residential housing.</p><br>
<p>The Kent Neighborhood Historic District encompasses a little-altered early 19th-century rural neighborhood of Dorset, Vermont. Centered at the junction of Dorset West Road and Nichols Hill Road, the area is also historically significant as the site in 1775 of the first meetings that culminated in Vermont&#39;s period of independence prior to become the 14th United States state. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kent Neighborhood is located in western Dorset, south of the main village. It extends along Lane Road to Dorset West Road, and then further westward along Nichols Hill Road. The district is entirely residential, with dispersed houses along the three roads. All are clapboarded wood-frame buildings, and most are stylistically vernacular interpretations of Federal period architecture. The oldest house dates to about 1783, and there are four non-historic 20th century houses interspersed among the older ones, which were typically built before 1850. One of the houses is a former one-room schoolhouse, built in about 1834, and another is notable as the home of George Holley, a leading figure in the development of the area&#39;s marble quarries.</p><br>
<p>One of the areas early settlers was Cephas Kent, Sr., who moved to the area in 1773 and built a house and tavern. While there is some disagreement about which structure was the Cephas Kent Tavern, one of the two buildings stands at the bottom of the road and the other was moved up the hill from its original location. It was at Kents tavern that a series of meetings took place in 1775, when the settlers of the area that is now Vermont, disputed between New York and New Hampshire, negotiated a set of agreements among themselves that resulted in the founding in 1777 of the independent Vermont Republic. The site of the Kent Tavern is marked by a marble memorial, placed in 1912. Many of the older houses in the area were built by members of the extended Kent family.</p><br>
<p>The Monument to Confederate Women, also known as the "Mother of the South", is a commemorative sculpture on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock, Arkansas. It depicts a mother and two of her children saying goodbye to an older son who is dressed in a Confederate uniform. The sculpture is cast in bronze, and stands over 7 ft in height. It is mounted in a multi-tiered pedestal, nearly 12 ft in height, with sections made of concrete, granite, and marble. The statue was created by J. Otto Schweizer, and was dedicated in 1913. It was funded by the United Confederate Veterans.</p><br>
<p>The memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Oakland–Fraternal Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Barber Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It actually consists of six originally separate cemeteries, and lies adjacent to the Little Rock National Cemetery, of which it was once a part.

<p>The Wimer Bridge is a covered bridge over Evans Creek in Jackson County in the USA state of Oregon. The version that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1927. The creek is a tributary of the Rogue River, which it joins at the small city of Rogue River.</p><br>
<p>An earlier covered span, built in 1892 by J. W. Osbourne, crossed the creek at this location, according to local residents and an engineering database. The 1927 bridge replaced the older span.</p><br>
<p>After the 1927 bridge deteriorated, local residents refurbished it in 1962. However, by the mid-1970s the bridge was closed after further decline. Repairs in 1985 led to reopening with an eight-ton limit, later reduced to three tons. Before further repairs were undertaken, the structure collapsed in 2003.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, with the help of federal funds and local labor, the bridge was replaced with a look-alike using trusses reinforced with metal braces, laminated beams that look like timber, concrete approaches, and industrial roofing made to resemble wooden shakes. The one-way bridge, still 17 ft wide, as was the original, has a load limit of 10 tons.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Elementary School is a historic building located in Creston, Iowa, United States. There was an older Jefferson School building located on this property that was built in the 1880s.

The entrance is flanked by pilasters, a Greek Revival element; the style was still popular at the time, and its presence reflects the transition between Greek Revival and Italianate as popular American architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The St. Hyacinth School and Convent are a pair of religious and educational buildings at 2 Walker Street in Westbrook, Maine. The school, built in 1894, is a fine local example of Second Empire design, and the 1922 convent is a good example of Gothic Revival architecture. Both were built by the local Roman Catholic parish of St. Hyacinth to support the burgeoning French-Canadian and French-American community, many of whom worked in the local mills. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. Both have been converted into residential housing.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The St. Hyachinth School and Convent are located on Westbrook&#39;s north side, on the west side of Walker Street between Pike and Brown Streets. The school is the southerly of the two; it is a -story red-brick building with a mansard roof, granite trim and foundation, and projecting gabled pavilions. The roof is studded with gabled dormers, and its eave is lined with large wooden brackets. It is topped by an open octagonal cupola with a slightly curved pyramidal roof. The convent is a three-story H-shaped brick building, with stone foundation, belt courses, and window sills. Its entrance is a wide double door set a slightly pointed arched opening with quoined sides.</p><br>
<p>The parish of St. Hyacinth was established in the 1870s, to serve the large number of French Canadians who came to Westbrook to work in its mills. The school building was built in 1893–1894, to a design by Jefferson L. Coburn & Sons of Lewiston, and originally also housed the convent of the nuns who taught there. Continued growth of the parish prompted the construction of the adjacent convent (with the conversion of the entire first building to a school) in 1922, to a design by OConnell & Shaw of Boston, Massachusetts. Classes at the school were taught in French and English, but by the 1950s French immigration had ended, and many of the parishs culturally French participants now spoke English. Enrollment declined, and the school closed in 1974. Both buildings have now been converted into conventional residential housing.</p><br>
<p>The Amos Lawrence House is a historic house on Richville Road in Manchester, Vermont, USA. Built about 1840, it is a fine local example of a Greek Revival farmhouse.

<p>The Beech Hill Preserve is a conservation property in Rockport, Maine. Its 295 acre include the summit of Beech Hill, one of the few bare-topped hills in the area. Its features include forested lower slopes, a commercial blueberry operation, and a 1913 Norwegian sod-roofed hut at the summit of the hill. It has been protected by conservation easements since 1987, and is now owned and managed by the Coastal Mountains Land Trust. The hut, its access road, and the gate on Beech Hill Road were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Beechnut Hut Historic District in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Beech Hill is located about 1.5 mi south of downtown Rockport. The hill, whose summit is 533 ft above sea level, is located in the northern part of the L-shaped preserve, which is bordered on the south by Rockville Street, the west by South Street, and the north by Beech Hill Road. The southern portion of the preserve is wooded, with a public hiking trail whose trailhead is on Rockville Street. The summit area of Beech Hill is grassy, and is accessed via a dirt road (not open to vehicular traffic) from Beech Hill Road. At the base of the road are a pair of stone piers, which originally held massive timber gates. These were built in 1913-15 by landscape architect Hans Heisted, along with the road and the hut at the summit. The road is laid out to reveal gradually more impressive views of the surrounding countryside as one ascends, culminating in views of Penobscot Bay.</p><br>
<p>The hut at the top of the hill is a stone structure, with a sod roof and an east-facing veranda supported by stone piers. Its interior is divided into four rooms, one large space and three smaller ones, all with stone dividers. A wooden water tank, originally fed by a pump house, is obscured within the structure. The building has occasionally been subject to vandalism, but documentary photographs have been used to restore it to very near its as-built condition. A circular stone garden is set in front of the hut.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The preserve&#39;s hilltop features were built in 1913-15 by Hans Heisted, a Norwegian immigrant, for the Gribbel family as a summer picnic and leisure spot. The Gribbels had started acquiring land on the hill in 1909, and eventually accumulated holdings of more than 300 acre. It was then sold to the Cuttings who held the property, and accumulated another 290 acres, until 1986 when Grace Cutting sold the property to conservation buyer, Jane Watson (Heyl) Stetson. She, with Maine Coast Heritage Trust, created an easement. With her husband Bill, she maintained the land and returned the area that makes up the Beech Hill Preserve to an organic blueberry operation. The Beech Hill Preserve, some 295 acres (119 ha), was then bargain sold, in 2003, to the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, which transferred the easement three years later to the Coastal Mountains Land Trust. A roughly 12-acre (4.9 ha) area of the preserve was listed on the National Register in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Manley-Lefevre House is a historic house at 1161 Dorset West Road in Dorset, Vermont. Built out of marble about 1820 and sympathetically enlarged 1908–1927, it is the centerpiece of a 100 acre farm estate that is now home to the Marble House Project, an arts organization offering residencies. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Manley-Lefevre House stands on the west side of Dorset West Road, about 2 mi south of Dorset village. The main house is a 2-1/2 structure, its walls and foundations built out of marble quarried either on the property or in West Rutland. The original main block is built out of ashlar stone, 20 in thick, laid in irregular courses. It has a side gable roof, with brick chimneys built into the marble end walls. The front entrance retains original period flanking sidelights. The interior reflects significant alterations made in the early decades of the 20th century. Sympathetic additions extend to the rear of the original house.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a number of outbuildings, most of which have been either added or adapted for use as artist residences or studios. A portion of the larger property is in agricultural use, and hiking trails lead to the quarries from which stone for the original house was taken.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built sometime before 1820 by Martin Manley, on land originally purchased by his father George. The ashlar marble used in its construction was probably finished on site, while dressed trim elements where probably finished at a marble works in South Dorset. The Manleys quarry, later known as the Sanford Quarry, was one of Dorsets major quarries until its closure in the 1870s, its product shipped throughout the eastern United States.</p><br>
<p>In 1908 the Manley property was purchased by Edwin Lefevre, Sr., who commissioned New York City architect Eugene Lang to design additions and updates to the house, and retained garden designer Charles Downing Lay to design the gardens that surround the house. Lay prominently featured this work in his 1926 book, The Freedom of the City. Lefevre, the son of a Central American diplomat, was an author and entrepreneur, who established the first electric company providing power to Dorset.</p><br>
<p>The Commercial House is a historic hotel located at the intersection of 5th and Main Streets in Keithsburg, Illinois. William J. Patterson built the hotel to be his own house in 1849; however, he sold it the next year to Samuel Phelps and moved to California, where he died. Indiana native David Wolfe purchased the building and opened it as a public house in 1875.</p><br>
<p>The hotel has an Italianate design which features segmental arched windows with ornamental hoods and a low hip roof with bracketed eaves. At the time of the hotels construction, Keithsburg was the Mercer County seat, and the hotel hosted both visitors on political business and travelers on the Mississippi River. While the county seat moved to Aledo in 1857, the hotel still thrived on commercial traffic spurred by the river trade and the local sawmill industry. Both commercial activity in Keithsburg and the hotels fortunes declined in the twentieth century, though the hotel enjoyed some success with recreational travelers.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 1983.</p><br>
