<p>The former Lake City Public Library is a historic structure located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. Efforts to establish a library began as early as 1889 when community socials were held to raise money for books. Women in the community, however, would not form a community library association until 1905. They sought donations of books and money from the community and were able to set up a subscription that year in the old primary building next to Central School. By 1908 there were 1,500 volumes in the library. The Association proposed to the city council in February of the same year that they turn their holdings over to the city for a free library. The council agreed to submit the proposal to the voters and the Association petitioned the Carnegie Corporation of New York for funds to build a new building. They accepted Lake City&#39;s application for a grant for $7,500 on May 8, 1908, and approved the library proposal in early June. S.T. and E.S. Hutchison donated the property. Denison, Iowa architect Edgar Lee Barber designed the Neoclassical building that was built by Nelson Construction Company. It opened in April 1910. There was no formal dedication. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The community has subsequently built a new library, and this building now houses a commercial business.</p><br>
<p>The Lake City Water Standpipe is a historic structure located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. The standpipe was a popular form of water tower from about 1860 to the turn of the 20th-century. The city council first attempted to build it as early as 1890, but the $10,000 bond was rejected. An $8,000 bond issue passed in June 1893, and a Water Works Department was established. The city contracted with the A.F. Paige Company of Sioux City to build the tower, which is 90 ft tall and a diameter of 12 ft. It was completed in November 1893. Water mains were laid the following year and water was delivered to most citizens of Lake City. It also allowed the city to provide adequate fire protection. A new water tank was built next to the standpipe in the 1920s. It has subsequently been replaced by a larger structure on the southeast side of town. The standpipe was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Lake City Community Memorial Building is a historic structure located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. The building was built as a memorial to those who served in the American Civil War, the Spanish–American War, and World War I. It was a project of the women in the Lake City Civic Improvement Society, a Progressive Era organization that exemplified civic involvement and community cohesion. They provided the funding while the city council was responsible for its development. The two-story, brick Neoclassical structure was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, and it was built by Arthur H. Neumann & Co., also of Des Moines. The main auditorium sat 750 people, and had a stage on the north side. It has subsequently been removed to increase the seating capacity. There was also a room for the city council chambers, which no longer meets here, a Memorial Room for use by the American Legion, kitchen facilities, and a women&#39;s meeting room. Across the top of the main facade are three limestone panels with the words "Soldiers," "Sailors," and "Marines" inscribed on them. In the arches above the three doors are inscriptions of the names of important battlegrounds from the three wars.

<p>Construction of a single-story town house was authorized by the town in 1859 and dedicated the following year. The building housed the town meeting space, and offices of the selectmen, and was rented out for other functions. It housed the district 5 school when that building burned down. In 1901 the town made an agreement with the local Grange chapter for the addition of a second floor, which was completed in 1904. The Grange ceased operations in 1969, but the building continues to be used for community and civic functions.</p><br>
<p>The Asahel Kidder House, is an historic house at 1108 South Main Street in Fair Haven, Vermont. Built about 1843, by the efforts of a prosperous local farmer, it is a remarkably sophisticated expression of Greek Revival architecture for a rural setting. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Asahel Kidder House stands about 1 mi south of the village center of Fair Haven, on the east side of Vermont Route 22A, the principal route leading south from the village. The house consists of a main block and two substantial ells, and there is also a 19th-century barn on the property, facing Bolger Road. The house&#39;s main block is stories in height, with a front-facing gabled roof and clapboard siding. The main facade is three bays wide, with corner pilasters rising to an entablature and fully pedimented gable. A triangular louver occupies the center of the gable. The main entrance is in the rightmost bay, framed by sidelight windows and pilasters, with a corniced entablature above. To the left (as seen from the road) is a single-story ell with similar styling, including corner pilasters. The right ell includes what is probably the oldest part of the house. Built about 1770 and attached to the house around 1870, it is stories in height, with corner pilasters, and a shed-roof porch extending across its front.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built about 1843 by Asahel Kidder, a prosperous local sheep farmer who was also prominent in local civic affairs. The sophisticated Greek Revival elements showcased his sophistication and wealth. About 1870, Kidder added the right (or southerly) ell, a former "tenement house" or tavern built about 1770 that was adjacent to the property, in order to accommodate a growing family. Isaac Wood, Kidders son-in-law, inherited the farm after Kidders death. Wood converted it into a dairy operation, which became known as Maplewood Dairy. He built the left-side (or northerly) addition to the house about 1880. The dairy closed in 1979 after nearly a century in operation, and the dairy plant on the property behind the home was razed in the early 1980s. The house was sold out of the family in 1986 and converted into the Maplewood Inn Bed & Breakfast. In 2021, the property was sold and is again a private residence.</p><br>
<p>Central School is a historic structure located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. A bond referendum for a new school passed in February 1884. The Des Moines architectural firm of Foster & Liebee designed the building in the Italianate style, and it was built by contractor Robert Harrison. They based their plan on an example the school board found in Everetts School Architecture. The exterior of the two-story structure is composed of locally produced brick and it cost $7,175 to build. Two classrooms were located on each of the two floors. A frame building to house the kindergarten was built in 1895, and the school board determined the following year to expand the building by four more classrooms. In 1897 the addition was completed, as was another grade school building in town. A high school was built in 1904, which took the pressure off the schools population. The building served as a school building until 1980. It was acquired three years later by Central School Preservation Inc. and renovated for a historic-cultural center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Ladd and Gretchen Hoyt Corbett House is a Colonial Revival-style house in Dunthorpe, Oregon, an unincorporated suburb of Portland. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The property on which the house sits was part of an 1850 640-acre land claim by William S. and Mary Jane Torrance. A 19-acre portion of the property, located in Dunthorpe which was then known as Rivera, was acquired in 1904 by Henry Ladd Corbett, a prominent politician and businessman who twice served as President of the Oregon State Senate., National Register of Historic Places Registration Form,</p><br>
<p>National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior, Portland, Oregon, 15 July 1990.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1915 and 1916 by Corbett, who had married Gretchen Hoyt in 1908. It was a large two-story home with 7,000 square feet (650 m2) of interior space. In addition to the family living areas, there was a two-story servants&#39; wing connected to the main house.</p><br>
<p>Henry Corbett continued to reside in the house until he died in 1957, and Gretchen until she died in 1978. The property was divided into several lots, including a 1.6-acre lot around the house, which was listed on the NRHP in 1991. Houses have since been built on most of the other lots.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago and North Western Office Building/Passenger Depot-Lake City, also known as the Lake City Depot, is a historic building located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. The Toledo & North Western Railroad  laid the first tracks through town in 1881–1882. Because Lake City was already established, they built a two-story, frame, combination depot and the southeast edge of town. Because of its convenient location, the TNW also built their repair and maintenance shops in Lake City in the 1880s. They placed their division headquarters here in 1887. The Chicago and North Western Railway  acquired controlling interest in the TNW in June 1881, and ran it separately until it formally acquired it in 1890.</p><br>
<p>The CNW announced in 1899 that were going to build a new office building in Lake City, and they completed the classically influenced, 2½-story brick building the following year. In 1916 the railroad announced that they were moving their divisional headquarters to Sioux City, and they would convert their office building in Lake City into a depot. The shops remained in town until 1924, when they were closed. The CNW discontinued passenger service after World War II. A freight agent remained at the depot until 1969 when the station closed. The CNW abandoned its line through Lake City in 1972. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Peter and Mary Smith House, also known as the Hopkins House and the Otto House, is a historic dwelling located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. Peter Smith was a pioneer to this town and a prominent businessman. He was involved in retail, banking, and real estate. Smith and his first wife Sarah settled in Calhoun County, Iowa from Cass County, Michigan around 1855, and bought land near the present Smith Farmhouse. He served as the first judge in the county when Lake City was the county seat. Sarah died in 1875 while they were living in Glidden, Iowa. After the arrival of the railroad in 1881, Peter and his second wife Mary moved to Lake City. They built this two-story, brick, L-shaped house in 1887. While it does not conform to any one style, it is primarily a combination of the Italianate and the Gothic Revival styles. The Italianate influence is found in the bracketed cornice, segmentally arched lintels, wooden cutout designs over the windows, a front bay window, and the hipped roof. The influences of the Gothic Revival style are found in the bargeboard and the roof line. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Kenilworth Assembly Hall is a historic clubhouse located at 410 Kenilworth Avenue in Kenilworth, Illinois. The clubhouse was built in 1907 as a social club for the wealthy Chicago suburb. Resident and noted Prairie School architect George W. Maher designed the building. His design represents a transitional stage in his work; it was his last building to feature a significant horizontal emphasis, and it includes several early hints at style elements he later became known for. The windows are arranged in groups of three, which was typical of Mahers later works, and a stem-and-square motif used in several external elements evokes the signature thistle patterns he introduced the next year. The horizontal elements, which include the broad eaves and wall paneling, exhibit Mahers difficulties with the horizontal form of the Prairie School and were called "unsatisfactory" by architectural historian Carl W. Condit.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1979.</p><br>
<p>donated the Kenilworth Assembly Hall to the Kenilworth Park District on August 1, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Knox County Courthouse is located at 62 Union Street in downtown Rockland, the county seat of Knox County, Maine.

A prominent local example of Italianate architecture, it has been the county&#39;s seat of operations since its construction. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Knox County Courthouse stands on the west side of downtown Rockland, occupying most of a city block bounded by Union, Masonic, High, and Limerock Streets. It is a roughly U-shaped building, three stories in height. Most of the building is a modern steel-framed structure, its exterior finished in brick. The original 1874 courthouse forms the northeastern leg of the U. It is three stories in height, set on a high granite foundation. Its main entrance is accessed via a flight of granite stairs, and is sheltered by a rectangular porch supported by round stone Doric columns and square pilasters. The porch is capped by a balustrade with urned posts. The windows on the first two floors are set in ornate round-arch and segmented-arch openings.</p><br>
<p>Knox County was separated from adjacent Lincoln County in 1860, with Rockland as its county seat. County offices were in the early years dispersed in a commercial buildings, and were eventually centralized into a single building. This being judged inadequate, the county in 1874 retained Boston architect Gridley James Fox Bryant to design the present building. Gridley was assisted by Lewis P. Rogers, also a Boston architect. The building was constructed at a cost of $83,000, well over the anticipated $50,000 cost, and opened for business in 1875. The modern addition to the rear and side were built in 1978.</p><br>

<p>The Smith Farmhouse, also known as the Smith Homestead Farmhouse, is a historic dwelling located in Lake City, Iowa, United States. This house&#39;s significance is due to its association with the pioneer Smith family. Peter and Sarah Smith and their four young sons settled here from Cass County, Michigan in 1855. Their first two houses were built on the same property to the north of this one. Their first house and barn were log structures, and their second was frame construction. What is now known as Lake City was chosen as the county seat for Calhoun County because it was the area with the highest population.  Smith donated 40 acre of land for the town.</p><br>
<p>Peter and two of his sons opened a general store in town in 1871, and he and his wife moved into Lake City at that time. His son James took over the farming for his parents until 1874. He moved to another farm east of Lake City at that time, but Peter continued to own this property until his death in 1899. It is not known who built this Italianate style brick house in 1877, or lived here until 1890. In March of that year, Peters third son Clark moved into the house. Peter and Sarah had relocated to Glidden, Iowa before 1875, where she died. He married a Lake City widow named Mary Orr, and they returned to Lake City in 1881. They eventually built a house on Main Street. Mary inherited the farm after Peters death, and she sold it to James. He lived here until 1921, when he sold it to the Hatfield&#39;s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>

Roughly 3 acre in size, it includes a c. 1778 house, 1885 horse barn, and a mill complex, most of whose elements date to the 1880s. The district also includes the foundational remnants of a second mill and the mill dam, a timber crib dam whose main structure was washed away by flooding in 1927. An old alignment of the main road connecting Clarendon to Shrewsbury is also believed to pass through the property (now serving as its main drive).</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1778 by Nathaniel Crary, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. Crary also built the first mills on the site, which were washed away by flooding in 1818. Crary sold the property in 1825 to Chester Kingsley, who built new mills on the site. His son Horace enlarged the house to its present configuration about 1835. Chester Kingsleys carding mill was destroyed by flooding in 1869, and the grist mill on the site underwent several upgrades in the 19th century, before being completely rebuilt for John Kingsley by Nichols Powers, generally better known as a builder of covered bridges. The grist mill was operated by the Kingsleys until 1935.</p><br>

<p>The Newton Downtown Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Newton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Jasper County was established by the Iowa Territorial Legislature in 1846, and Newton was incorporated the following year as the county seat. The town grew slowly at first around the Jasper County Courthouse. Businesses largely served the needs of the local farmers as well as the towns residents. The Mississippi and Missouri Railroad, later the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, came to Newton in 1867. This changed the towns economy from agricultural-based to manufacturing, and the central business district expanded outward as the community grew. Several washing machine companies established themselves in Newton, most notably Maytag. The emergence of Maytag as a major corporation in the mid-20th century led to the transformation of the downtown area. Between 1951 and 1952, 18 businesses installed new storefronts, transforming them from their original Victorian appearance to a more modern appearance. The modernization continued into the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>Various architects, mostly from Iowa, designed most of the important buildings in the district. The exception was Henry Raeder, a Chicago architect who designed the Hotel Maytag (1926). Most of the buildings in the district, however, were designed by local builder-contractors. All of the buildings are of masonry construction. A majority of the structures housed retail concerns on the main floor with apartments or offices on the upper floors. Other buildings housed banks, restaurants, service stations, the local newspaper, a hotel, and fraternal organizations. Three churches, the Salvation Army, First United Methodist, and First Presbyterian, are located in the district. Government buildings located here include the former city hall, former post office, and county public services. The present county courthouse (1911) is individually listed on the National Register. The courthouse square is the contributing site.</p><br>

The doors have louvered windows to keep the house ventilated. The downstairs area has a large, wide hallway, a convention of Victorian architecture. The upstairs has a large landing and several rooms, including a small room which houses the staircase leading to a large attic. The house, in country style, has a large front porch, a back porch leading from the kitchen, and a sunroom. Victorian stained glass was installed by Dr. Elias Benton Vickery in the bathroom.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1860 by John D. Fields, the deputy sheriff of Dahlonega and alumnus of the Georgia Agricultural College (now the University of North Georgia). During this time, the house was known as the Old Fields House. The L-shaped house had three rooms, a cellar, a shed porch and a central hall.</p><br>
<p>In 1869, Weir Boyd, a gold mine owner, Civil War veteran and local politician, purchased the house for $400 at a sheriff&#39;s auction. He died in 1893, at which point his daughter, Martha, and her husband, B. P. Gaillard, inherited the house. The couple added three rooms to the rear of the house.</p><br>
<p>Around 1895, Dr. Elias Benton Vickery, his wife, Ella, and his children, Katherine and Eugene, moved into the house. Vickery renovated the home between 1895 and 1908, replacing the right front room, widening the original hallway, and adding a second story and a bathroom on the first floor. He removed the original porch and installed a new Victorian porch, which ran along the front and left side of the house. He added a screen porch to the rear of the house, which joined the kitchen on the north and east side. A well remains on this porch. Upon Vickery&#39;s death in 1929, the house remained empty for years.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the house was given to the Dahlonega Club by Vickery family heirs. Ella Ray Oakes, president of the club, travelled to Atlanta to accept the house. The home was a popular place for schoolchildren to tour during the Christmas season. Oakes donated the fence around the house and allocated Dahlonega Club funds to the restoration of the building.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the Dahlonega Club donated the house to the University of North Georgia. Since then, the house has been the headquarters of the Georgia Appalachian Studies Center.</p><br>

Joe had married Mary Bussey in Pennsylvania, but she died before he relocated to Iowa. He married Regina Hiskey, a native of Richland County, Ohio. They had two sons. Mental illness plagued the family. Jesse committed suicide on his farm and Joe was institutionalized near the end of his life. He died here in 1901, and Regina died here in 1925. Their son Charles owned the farm from 1902 to 1934. This Italianate style house was originally built just outside of the city limits of Monroe, Iowa.

<p>The Lynnville Mill and Dam, also known as Wagaman Mill, is a historic complex located in Lynnville, Iowa, United States. John Sparks relocated from Lee County to Jasper County in 1845. That year he began building a small paddle-wheel saw mill, which was completed the following year. In 1847 he began the construction of a grist mill, which he finished in 1848. This was the first mill in Jasper County. Jesse Arnold, who bought the mill in 1852, and his son Joseph replaced the paddle-wheel with a vertical drive hydraulic turbine in 1868. W.K. Wagaman bought the mill in 1898 and modernized the machinery, and his son Fred installed the concrete dam, and added an additional turbine and a wheel house in 1918–1919. He discontinued the grinding of wheat, which was no longer profitable, and focused on the production of animal feed, corn meal, and electricity. Fred&#39;s son Harris  took over the mill in 1946, and in 1958 completely electrified the operation. The Jasper County Conservation Board began restoring the wheel house of the mill to its original operating condition in 1973. The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The Lynnville Historical Society began repairing the mill building in 1998.</p><br>

The house stands at the back of a landscaped semicircular drive, with marble fenceposts at its entrances. The carriage barn, located near the southern end of the loop, is decorated in a manner similar to the house.</p><br>
<p>Roughly opposite the house on the west side of Route 103 stands the mausoleum, set raised above the roadway, with a dressed ashlar granite retaining wall below. It is a rectangular structure with walls that slope inward, and are capped by a gabled roof. The entrance faces the road, set in a rectangular opening with curved corners.

<p>John Porter Bowman, for whom Laurel Hall was built, was a native of Clarendon who made a fortune in the tanning and leather industry, supplying the Union Army during the American Civil War. Two of his daughters died young (in 1854 and 1879) and his wife died in 1880. The grief-stricken Boardman had the mausoleum built as a memorial to them in 1880, and it was an instant sensation and tourist attraction. Laurel Hall was built to a design by G.B. Croff, and was his summer residence and retirement home until his death in 1891.</p><br>
