It is still owned by the town, but was occupied by a church group and listed for sale as of 2015. It was also listed by the state as one of its most endangered historic properties in 2015, due to its poor condition and lack of preservation plan.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Stimson Memorial Hall stands in the center of Gray, just northwest of the junction of Main Street (United States Route 202) and Shaker Road (Maine State Route 26). It stands just east of the towns former municipal office building, and west of the towns Civil War memorial, which stands at the street corner. The hall is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof and a high brick basement. The roof extends over the front to create a temple portico, with a gabled pediment and entablature supported by four Tuscan columns. There are pilasters at the front corners, and a small round window in the center of the pediment. The interior has a vestibule leading to the main auditorium, and stairs to the second floor, which houses several smaller rooms at the front, including a storage space behind the pediment.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built 1900 as a gift to the town, primarily through the efforts of Abbie Stimson Ingalls, with funding from her and the other children of Gray native Theophilus and Mary Stimson. It was designed by Elzner and Anders of Cincinnati, Ohio, and was built on land originally purchased by the local Universalist congregation. The upper level house the town library until the 1950s. The building was administered by the town and a donor-chosen board until 1921, when oversight was taken over completely by the town.</p><br>
<p>With the building in poor condition, the town in 2013 refused to authorize the cost of rehabilitation, and considered demolition in 2014. The building was put up for sale in 2015, and is presently under lease to a church. The church lease ended and Stimson along with two other buildings were sold by the Town to the Libby Foundation. The old Town hall and the Stimson Hall have since been sold to a private owner who in 2020 is renovating the old Town Hall and has plans for Stimson</p><br>

Ten of the buildings were of frame construction and seven were brick. Most of the buildings no longer exist, having been replaced by an agricultural cooperative. The former depot and American Express building remain.</p><br>
<p>The former depot is a -story brick structure on a limestone foundation, and capped with a hipped roof. It was designed by the architects of the Illinois Central Railroad. The interior featured two waiting rooms on the first floor, one for the men and one for women. Offices for the ICs division headquarters occupied the second floor.

<p>Originally known as Taborian Temple, the building was constructed in 1916 by the Arkansas chapter of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor when the 9th street area of Little Rock, Arkansas was a major hub of African-American commerce.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s and 1930s the building was the home to many black-owned businesses, community center, officers and veterans club, and Arkansas major stop on the famous Chitlin Circuit. In the 1930s, the Tabors, like many fraternal organizations at the time, lost their assets in the Great Depression. The building changed ownership, segmented, sold, and segmented over and over again through those years. Its 3rd floor opened under the name Dreamland Ballroom during this time. The United States Officer&#39;s Club (USO) purchased the building during the early years of World War II and Taborian Temple became a regular stopping point for black soldiers and war workers being trained across the Arkansas River (North Little Rock) at Camp Robinson. The Temple served as the only service club for African Americans in Little Rock during both World Wars.</p><br>
<p>By the mid 1950s, the building became known as Taborian Hall and was the home for three nightclubs: the Twin City Club in the basement, the Waiters Club on the buildings second floor, and Dreamland, which then became known as Club Morocco, on the top floor. These establishments and Taborian Hall were the linchpin to a vibrant and active community on the 9th Street “Line,” which was the center for black businesses and culture in Little Rock. The Line was also a boundary that separated Little Rocks black and white communities.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the buildings history a succession of famous performers brought notoriety and fame to Taborian Hall and Dreamland Ballroom. As the city slowly began to integrate in the 1970s and 1980s, the "Line" neighborhood lost its luster and Taborian Hall eventually fell into disrepair.</p><br>
<h2>Dreamland Ballroom</h2><br>
<p>The performance space on the 3rd floor of Taborian Hall became a regular touring stop on the Chitlin Circuit, a group of venues across the southern and eastern USA that were known to be safe and accepting of African American performers, musicians, and comedians. Some of the eras greatest musical stars performed at Dreamland, including notable performers such as Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, B. B. King, Ray Charles, and Sammy Davis Jr. During the Great Depression, Dreamland became known throughout the South, as well as in cities like Chicago and New York, as a magnet for Cotton Club artists. Entertainers such as these found welcoming audiences at Dreamland, which were often composed of whites and blacks.</p><br>

<p>Restoration</p><br>
<p>By 1972, the Line neighborhood in Little Rock began to experience the same urban decay affecting many other downtown areas around the country. Much of Taborian Hall was vacant and black owned businesses in general were bracing for the planned construction of a new interstate through the heart of the Line neighborhood. By 1988, Taborian Hall was on the brink of being razed when the Arkansas Historic Preservation Office stepped in and forbade it. In 1991, Kerry McCoy and Arkansas Flag and Banner purchased the building with plans to use it as their headquarters as well as renovating Dreamland Ballroom to make it a viable performance space again.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, McCoy and a group of devoted friends and citizens formed a fundraising, education, and preservation board called Friends of Dreamland. The incorporated non-profit&#39;s mission is to build community through the music, history, and culture of the Dreamland Ballroom. Plans include constructing an addition on the west side of Taborian Hall that will house a separate entrance and elevator for better accessibility. In March, 2018 the USA Department of the Interior and National Park Service awarded a $499,668 African American Civil Rights Grant to the Friends of Dreamland in order to make the historic building more accessible to the public.</p><br>

<p>The Stephen Coffin House stands on the north side of Damariscottas Main Street downtown area, and is sandwiched between the Lincoln Theater to the west, and the modern facilities of the Skidompha Public Library to the east. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. Its front facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance set in a recess that is framed by paired pilasters and a corniced entablature. The buildings front corners are pilastered. Granite steps lead to the entrance, and are flanked at the sidewalk by a low wooden fence. A period two-story ell extends from the western rear corner, and a modern ell extends from the eastern rear corner. The interior retains a number of original period features, but has also had significant alterations, although most of these have been sympathetic in character.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s exact construction date is shrouded in mystery, due to the number and type of land transactions Stephen Coffin engaged in between 1803 and 1807. It was almost certainly standing by 1807, and may have been built as early as 1803, its traditionally ascribed construction date. Coffin was a local merchant, and apparently operated his business out of the basement of this house. The western ell was probably built by Coffin when his business had outgrown the basement.</p><br>
<p>In 1922 the house was purchased by the Skidompha Library Association and the Damariscotta Womens Club, housing the library on the ground floor and the Womens Club facilities on the second. The building was enlarged by the eastern ell in the 1980s, and the library moved to its new facility next door in 2001. The building is now in commercial use.</p><br>

Its front is six bays wide, with a spindled porch sheltering the two entrances at the center. The left house is roughly L-shaped, with a hip roof across its main body and a projecting gable section on the right side. A porch extends across the front and around the left side, set on a foundation of rough-cut limestone blocks, with turned posts on stone piers and spindled balustrades in between.</p><br>
<p>Both houses were built in 1885 by Frederick Chaffee & Son. The duplex was occupied by a succession of middle-class families until 1925. The single-family was purchased by Thomas W.

It was later purchased and converted into residential housing units.</p><br>
<p>The Terminal Hotel Company was incorporated in July 1908 and contracted with Little Rock architect Charles L. Thompson to design the structure. The ground floor was to be occupied with a barber shop, restaurant, drug store, hotel lobby and other accessories of hotel operation. The original Little Rock Union Depot structure included a hotel and restaurant operated by C.A. Pratt. Since the new Union Station was not going to include hotel accommodations in the building, the Terminal Hotel was intended as the replacement for those facilities.

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Foundation</h2><br>
<p>The Rt. Rev. Stephen Elliott, the then newly-appointed first Bishop of Georgia, decided to establish a school there and in 1840 obtained a charter from the Georgia State Legislature. In 1841 he spent four days at Montpelier Springs (a location south of Forsyth, which had operated as a health and recreation resort from at least 1831, and included a hotel) working on organizing schools and an adjacent church. He recorded that On the fourth Sunday after Easter, 1841, I confirmed in the temporary Chapel of the Springs, seventeen persons, thirteen of whom were slaves. After Morning Service a Church was organized, under the title of St Luke’s Church, Montpelier Springs, Monroe Co., Ga, by the election of Wardens and a Vestry.</p><br>
<h2>The Montpelier Institute</h2><br>
<p>Initially Elliott planned for both boys’ and girls’ schools on an 800-acre campus, supported by a working farm staffed by enslaved persons whose work would pay the bulk of the costs of the school. By the spring of 1842, he could say, Our Schools have flourished at the Springs beyond our most sanguine expectation. That December, he reported that when he went back to Montpelier Springs to inspect the schools and make arrangements for the winter term, I found everything in the very best condition, full of promise to the Church and to the State. The girls were taught in Lamar Hall, named for G B Lamar of Savannah, who had given a 500-acre tract for the institute. The boys were a mile distant in Chase Hall, named for Bishop Philander Chase, who was then Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. By 1846, Bishop Elliott was living on the grounds of the school. By that time, more than 80 students were enrolled in the two schools.</p><br>
<p>However, rapid expansion of the school including the completion of more buildings created debt. The Institute was never funded by the Diocese and Elliott had used his own personal property as a guarantee. In 1850, the school debts had mounted to a degree that Bishop Elliott was obliged to sell all of his land and his considerable holdings in enslaved persons. The school was sold at a sheriff’s sale for $13,000 to make up the rest of the indebtedness. The institute was bought by Joseph Story Fay and continued as a school under its Board of Trustees, but Elliott continued to administer the school remotely from Savannah until 1854. This first incarnation of the school closed in 1855.</p><br>
<p>At this point, Professor Carlisle Martin bought the land and organized a school for young men. This was in operation until 1861, and was relatively successful. After the start of the Civil War, however, numbers dropped and the buildings were used as the depot for military supplies shipped from Savannah and Augusta.</p><br>
<h2>Montpelier Female Institute</h2><br>
<p>In its next phase, the Institute was solely a girls’ school. By 1862 its title was the Montpelier Female Institute, and its rector was the Welshman Rev John T Pryse. Under Union threat, the school was closed in 1864 and the students sent to Macon. Its grounds and buildings were used as a supply station, training ground and convalescent home for Confederate soldiers.</p><br>
<h2>Montpelier Collegiate Institute</h2><br>
<p>There had been recent renovations in 1866, when an advertisement appeared for the start of the September term at what was now named the ‘Montpelier Collegiate Institute’. A fire occurred in 1872, which appears to have marked a temporary end to teaching there, but Pryse undertook to continue holding services at the chapel.</p><br>
<h2>The final phase</h2><br>
<p>In its final incarnation, the school was purchased by Benjamin M Polhill and his wife. Under his management a school for boys continued in operation until 1878. The site was again sold in 1879 to Captain John Waller Hart. The property remains private and is still owned by the Hart family.</p><br>

<p>Marsh Stream Farm is a historic coastal farm property at 38 Marsh Stream Lane in Machiasport, Maine. Established in 1817, the property was used for sheep farming, a once-common occupation in coastal Maine, until 1987. It has a well-preserved collection of 19th-century farm buildings, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Marsh Stream Farm is located in a rural area of central western Machiasport, on the south side of East Kennebec Road. The farm occupies more than 200 acre of land between that road and the eastern branch of the Little Kennebec Bay, bounded on the east by Manchester Lane and roughly on the west by Marsh Stream Lane. The main farm complex is set amid fields a short way south of East Kennebec Road, at the mouth of Marsh Stream. It includes a c. 1817 farmhouse, a 19th-century English barn, and a number of other 19th and 20th-century outbuildings. About 3/4 of the farm property is wooded, the remainder is maintained as pasture.</p><br>
<p>The main house, oriented facing south toward the stream and the bay, is a -story Cape style wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gabled roof, two small center chimneys, and clapboard siding. Each roof face has a gabled dormer. The original front door is framed by narrow pilasters and topped by a four-light transom window. Some of the interior rooms have retained significant original finishes from the period of construction.</p><br>
<p>Land for the farm was purchased in 1814 by William Holway, a native of Machias. By 1817 he had built the house, as well as a wharf and store (now only ruins remaining) on the bay. Holway raised sheep on the farm, a practice that would continue by following owners until 2003. The English barn, a well-preserved 19th-century structure, has modifications diverging from the typical form that are specific to the practice of sheep farming, and is an extremely rare example of this type of structure in Maine, which was once much more common.</p><br>
<p>The Terminal Warehouse Building, also known as Markham Tower East, is a historic commercial building 500 East Markham Street in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. Occupying a full city block, it is a massive four-story brick building, with a central eight-story tower on its Markham Street facade. Built in 1926, it is despite its utilitarian use , a fine example of Venetian Gothic architecture, and a reminder of the city&#39;s long history as an important transportation hub.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The William L. Terry House is a historic house at 1422 Scott Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a roughly L-shaped 2-1/2 wood-frame structure, its appearance somewhat irregular due to the presence of projecting elements. Its porch extends across part of the front, and then the inside of the L, with bracketed square posts and a spindled balustrade. Built in the 1880s, it is a particularly elegant and restrained example of Queen Anne architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Ada Thompson Memorial Home was a home for indigent elderly women at 2021 South Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Founded in 1882 by prominent local citizens, it served in that capacity until 1976. The surviving building, a two-story brick building with Beaux Arts, Colonial Revival, and Georgian Revival features, was built in 1900 to a design by Frank Gibb and Theodore Sanders. The home was named in honor of Ada Thompson Crutchfield, who gave a major bequest to the organization in honor of her parents.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Brown Shoe Companys Homes-Take Factory, also known as the International Hat Company Warehouse, is a historic building location at 1201 Russell Boulevard in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Built in 1904, by renowned architect Albert B. Groves, the building was originally a factory for the Brown Shoe Company, based in St. Louis. In 1954, the factory was subsequently converted into a warehouse by the International Hat Company. The site has been recognized as a testament to Groves architectural expertise in the principles of factory design, namely technical advances in layout planning, operational efficiency, and employee safety. Additionally, the factory epitomizes the early 20th century cultural transformation and socio-industrial development of St. Louis into a manufacturing powerhouse. In particular, the Brown Shoe Company is recognized as a principal player in challenging the 19th century dominance of the New England shoe industry. This significantly contributed to the early 20th century sobriquet of St. Louis as the city of "shoes, booze, and blues." The Brown Shoe Company&#39;s Homes-Take factory is considered to be among the pioneering industrial facilities of this historic transformation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Homes-Take factory was designed and constructed in 1904 by the noted St. Louis architect Albert B. Groves (1866-1925). The Brown Shoe Company paid $66,000 for the construction project, which with inflation would cost over $1,700,000 in 2015. Groves designed and built eighteen churches in St. Louis, as well as a myriad of commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. In particular, Groves developed eleven factories for the Brown Shoe Company. The Homes-Take factory began production with a medium-priced line of women&#39;s dress shoes.</p><br>
<p>During the Great Depression, the factory was permanently mothballed. In 1954, the property was bought by the International Hat Company, which converted the factory into a warehouse. The Mexican Hat factory purchased a separate part of the building and converted the section into office space. The International Hat warehouse operated until 1976. That same year, the entire building was sold to the Junior Achievement of the Mississippi Valley. In 1978, the building was bought by Allen Market Lane Apartments. According to historian M. M. Constanin, the area at the time appeared as a sort of "Brechtian gloom," insofar as the abandoned building and street created a sense of alienation and detachment from the once vibrant and purposeful area.</p><br>
<p>On October 20, 1980, the building was formally added to the National Register of Historic Places after being petitioned by Allen Market Lane Apartments. Since 1980, the property has operated as a senior and disabled living center, with 100 units. The apartment complex was thoroughly renovated in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Homes-Take factory was originally designed to be a four-story, rectangular red brick building, measuring sixty by three hundred feet. The building occupies approximately one half of a city block. A dominant feature of the architectural design is the closely spaced windows, ten feet by three-and-a-half feet. As part of the restoration of the building, Allen Market Lane Apartments installed historically-correct, single hung Quaker windows. In 2005, the windows were custom designed to preserve the original aesthetic quality and structural integrity of the original 1904 glass work. Preserving the windows was a necessary element of the process of obtaining and maintaining government approval of the building onto the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Lehigh Valley Railroad Barge No. 79 is a historic barge located at The Waterfront Museum in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. The barge was built in 1914 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, as part of the lighter fleet operated by the Lehigh Valley Railroad to move cargoes around New York Harbor and along the lower Hudson River. It has a length on deck of 86 feet, beam of 30 feet, and draft of 2 feet, 9 inches.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Lehigh Valley Railroad Barge 79 was previously listed on the National Register in 1989 at a berth in New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>The Isaacson House is a historic house at 2 Benson Street in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1959 for Philip M. Isaacson, a local lawyer, it is a distinctive regional example of modest Mid-Century Modern residential architecture, that drew nationwide notice in architectural circles after its construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Isaacson House stands in a residential area west of the Bates College campus and north of downtown Lewiston, on the west side of Benson Street. It is a single-story square structure with a flat roof, and is set further back from the street than neighboring houses. A central stone walkway approaches the house, which is set on a terraced rise accessed via floating stone steps. The exterior is finished in vertical siding, and features floor-to-ceiling windows with white trim. At the center of the front facade is a doorway-sized opening leading into a courtyard, which functions as a transitional space between the outside and inside. The main block of the house is divided into rooms three wide and three deep. Interior finish details include custom millwork and hardware.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1959 for Philip M. Isaacson, a young lawyer and Lewiston native. Isaacson had become interested in modern architecture while studying law at Harvard Law School, and initially approached Josep Lluís Sert with a proposition to design a small year-round house that could be built for $25,000. Sert rejected his proposal, and Isaacson eventually commissioned F. Frederick Bruck, a young architect trained at the Bauhaus-influenced Harvard Graduate School of Design, for the job. The house that Bruck designed ended up costing $32,000. Even the smallest details of interior finishes were included in his design.</p><br>
<p>The Clarendon House is a historic former hotel building on Clarendon Springs Lane in Clarendon, Vermont. Built about 1835 and enlarged in the 1850s, it is one of Vermont&#39;s finest examples of pre-Civil War resort architecture, and a rare little-altered survivor of that period. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It and adjacent buildings are  vacant and for sale.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clarendon House stands in a rural area of northwestern Clarendon, on the west bank of the Clarendon River. It is set on the east side of Walker Mountain Road in the cluster of buildings that make up the rural village of Clarendon Springs. It is a large three-story brick structure that is nine bays wide and five deep, with a gabled roof pierced by two rows of gabled dormers on one side, and a single row on the other. The gable ends, and portions of the third floor, are framed in wood and finished in clapboards. The building&#39;s defining feature is a three-story porch, which extends around three of its sides, supported by Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>Built about 1835, the Clarendon House is one of the oldest surviving mineral spring resort hotels in the northeastern United States. Originally built as a two-story structure, and enlarged in the 1850s, it resembled a combination of a typical stagecoach hotel and high-class hotel accommodations of the early 19th century, as exemplified by Boston&#39;s Tremont House. The local mineral springs had been known since the 18th century for their restorative powers, and Thomas McLaughlin built this hotel about 1835 to capitalize on the business it brought. Its business, spurred by railroad construction through the area, was principally from southern states, and was consequently ruined by the American Civil War. After the war, business resumed under new ownership, but failed due to changing tastes and its inability to compete with other resorts offering a wider area of activities. In the 20th century the building has at times house a variety of businesses, including a restaurant and an antiques business. It is (as of early 2016) vacant and for sale.</p><br>

<p>The Williamson–Russell–Rahilly House is a historic house in Lake City, Minnesota, United States. The original core of the house was built in Greek Revival style around 1868, but it was extensively remodeled in Neoclassical style in 1910. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for having local significance in the theme of architecture. It was nominated as a particularly fine example of Minnesota&#39;s elegant, turn-of-the-20th-century architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original core of the Williamson–Russell–Rahilly House is a two-story frame building. The symmetrical façade has a centrally placed front door flanked by engaged columns, and both stories have windows with cornice moldings. The side elevations have gables with the traditional open pediments of Greek Revival architecture. There were originally shallow porches over the front and side doors.</p><br>
<p>The 1910 remodeling removed the original porches and added much larger elements. Most prominent is a two-story portico with a fully pedimented gable supported by four Ionic order columns. The side entrance received a porte-cochère, while the southeast elevation gained a screened-in porch. On a small balcony over the front door is a wrought-iron balustrade with an Étoile du Nord motif that originally adorned the Alexander Ramsey House in Saint Paul, Minnesota. A one-story extension was also appended to the rear of the house.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first house on this site was built in 1855 for Samuel Doughty, one of Lake Citys three original founders. Two years later he sold the house to Harvey Williamson, the citys first postmaster. In 1868, however, it burned down in a fire, so Williamson hired carpenter John Stout to rebuild over the original foundation. Williamson and his family lived in the new home until 1882, when they sold it to Morris C. Russell, editor of Lake City&#39;s first newspaper. Russell had arrived in Minnesota Territory in 1854 as a 14-year-old orphaned by a cholera outbreak that killed hundreds aboard their steamboat. He served as a scout during the Dakota War of 1862 and moved to Lake City in 1881, where he began publishing the Graph-Sentinel newspaper.</p><br>
<p>Russell&#39;s residency was apparently brief because tax records show the house in the hands of Lyman and Melissa Buck as of 1882. The Bucks were partners in the Seely & Buck dry goods store, with Melissa continuing in the business after Lyman died in 1890. She likely died around 1900, for that was when her daughter sold the house to its fourth owner, Patrick Henry Rahilly.</p><br>
<p>Rahilly was a prominent farmer and politician. Born in 1832 in Ireland, he emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1849 and arrived in Minnesota Territory in the 1850s. He settled in Wabasha County in 1868, establishing a farm near Lake City in Mount Pleasant Township. Six years later he entered politics, ultimately being elected thrice to the Minnesota House of Representatives and once to the state senate. His 1880 farmhouse is also on the National Register of Historic Places. Around 1900 he purchased the Williamson–Russell House from Jennie Buck to serve as a place to stay when in town. In 1910 his wife died, prompting Rahilly to sell his farmhouse to his daughter and her husband and to move permanently into the Lake City house.</p><br>
<p>That same year Rahilly contracted with Charles A. Koch, a self-taught local architect, to renovate the Greek Revival house into a Neoclassical mansion. Rahilly died in the home on January 12, 1931, at the age of 98. It stayed in the Rahilly family as a summer home until 1963. That year it was purchased by George W. Enz, a singer who had performed in the Ziegfeld Follies.</p><br>
<p>Clementwood is a historic estate in Rutland, Vermont, United States. It is now a part of the campus of the College of St. Joseph on the city&#39;s west side. The estate was developed in the 1850s by Charles Clement, a leading local businessman whose family fortune was made in the locally prominent marble industry. The house is a notably fine example of Italianate architecture; it currently houses the administrative offices of the college. The estate was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Clementwood is located on the outskirts of Rutland city, on the south side of Otter Creek, and now forms the western portion of the campus of the College of St. Joseph. The estate encompasses 21 acre of landscaped and wooded land, and includes the main house, carriage barn, and two former caretakers houses. The house is a sophisticated example of Italianate architecture, two stories in height, with a hip roof topped by a belvedere, and set on a marble foundation. Its main facades are three bays wide, with central projecting bays topped by shallow gables. A number of additions and alterations have been made, reflecting the buildings long institutional history.</p><br>
<p>The estate was developed by Charles Clement, whose family owned marble-related businesses in Rutland that benefited and greatly expanded in the 1850s by the arrival of the railroad in the city. The house was probably built around 1856–57, and may have been designed by J. J. R. Randall, a prominent local architect. The estate was named "Clementwood", combining the names of Clement and the maiden name of his wife, Elizabeth Wood. The Clements expanded their business interests into banking and railroads, and Clements son Percival was politically active, serving as Governor of Vermont 1919–21. The estate was divided after Percival Clements death in 1927, and this portion was purchased in 1948 to form part of the campus of the short-lived Rutland Junior College. In 1964 it became the campus of the College of St. Joseph. The estate house was used as a library and faculty housing for a number of years, primarily nuns of the Sisters of St. Joseph. In the 2000s, the main house was better integrated into the campus by housing its administrative offices, and serving as an event and function venue.</p><br>
