<p>The Marble Street Historic District encompasses what was once the principal business district of West Rutland, Vermont. Centered on Marble Street between Thrall Avenue and Smith Place, this area was the town&#39;s economic hub during the years  when the local marble quarries dominated the local economy. The area has also been bypassed as a transportation route, resulting in the preservation of a number of period commercial buildings. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The West Rutland area, part of Rutland until 1886, was until the 1830s considered a poor agricultural area, due to swampy conditions and the presence of marble not far below the surface. The value of the marble was then realized, and in 1844 the first quarry was opened. Production expanded, with additional quarries opened, especially after the railroad arrived in 1851. Marble Street was laid out in 1853, at first primarily a transportation route to and from the quarries, with the swampy terrain limiting development. The swamps were gradually filled in, and commercial development expanded significantly in the 1880s. A major fire in 1903 destroyed a significant number of commercial buildings, resulting in a new wave of construction. The area began a decline with the closure of many of the quarries in the 1930s, and the road was bypassed as a transportation route by the construction of the present alignment of United States Route 4 to the south. The latter event in particular served to save the area from the redevelopment that often affects commercial areas, resulting in a well-preserved collection of commercial buildings built between the 1880s and the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on what is basically a one-block stretch of Marble Street, bounded on the northwest by Smith Place and the southeast by Thrall Avenue. It extends on the south side slightly past Thrall Ave., and on the north side slightly past Smith Place, and includes one house on Smith Place. There are ten commercial buildings and four houses in the district. The most imposing commercial building is the three-story brick Shirt Waist Factory building; all of the other buildings are no more than 2-1/2 stories in height. The buildings for the most part have uniform setbacks and scaling, in part because the rebuilding after the 1903 fire maintained setbacks of destroyed buildings. Most of the buildings are stylistically in retardaire (out of current fashion for the period) versions of the Italianate, with scrolled brackets and deeper eaves.</p><br>
<p>The Camp House is a historic house at 4684 West Arkansas Highway 60 in Aplin, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame house, with a gabled roof, weatherboard siding, and a stone foundation. Its roof has deep eaves with applied decorative elements, and exposed rafter ends in the eaves. The front is adorned by a gable dormer, polygonal bay, and porch, all with bracketed gable roofs. The house was built about 1917 for James Camp, and is one of the small community&#39;s most distinctive examples of Craftsman architecture. It is also likely that the house was built from a kit Mr. Camp purchased from Sears, Roebuck.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Camp Ouachita Girl Scout Camp Historic District encompasses a campground area built by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s on the northern shore of Lake Sylvia, a man-made lake in the eastern part of Ouachita National Forest. The center of the campground, including its Great Hall and administration buildings, is located at the northern tip of Lake Sylvia, with cabins, comfort facilities, and other infrastructure arrayed around the northern and western sides of the lake. It was the first Girl Scout camp in the state, and is a well-preserved example of the Rustic style of architecture for which the CCC is known.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Fourche LaFave River Bridge carries Arkansas Highway 7 across the Fourche LaFave River in western Perry County, Arkansas, downstream of the Nimrod Dam. It is a three-span open spandrel concrete arch bridge, with its longest span measuring 184 ft, and its total length 518 ft. The arches are mounted on concrete abutments and piers. The bridge deck is asphalt, and is lined by ornate concrete balustrades. It was built in 1941 by the Luten Bridge Company, and is a well-preserved example of style from that period.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Smith-Little-Mars House is a historic mansion in LaFollette, Tennessee, USA. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Built in 1840 by slaves for Frank Smith in the Federal style, the house is one of the few antebellum homes remaining in the area. It is conjectured that the slaves who built the house belonged to Frank Kincaid II, because of the similarity in design and brickwork to other houses in Campbell and Clairborne counties. In the late 1890s, the house was purchased by Silas Little, a wealthy clothing store owner, who added Victorian embellishments.</p><br>
<p>The Grinnell Historic Commercial District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The historic district is the core of the city&#39;s central business district. Fires struck the area in 1889  and twice in 1891 . They destroyed the frame buildings, and were replaced with brick and stone structures, although Block 7 developed more slowly. Most of the buildings are two stories in height, six buildings are single-story structures, and two are three stories. The economic development of the city was also assisted by the presence of Grinnell College and the presence of two railroads.</p><br>
<p>The district contains a number of buildings that were designed by prominent architects. They include Foster and Liebbe (Spencer Building, 1884; Seaman Building, 1889), Hallett & Rawson (Spaulding Block, 1899; Armory, 1906; Spaulding-Spurgeon Building, 1906), Josselyn and Todd (Cass and Works Building, 1889; Mclntosh Grocery, 1889; Morse Block, 1889; The Scott Building, 1889; Vest Brothers Building, 1889; Beyer Building, 1892), Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson (Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, 1914; Grinnell Herald, 1916), Louis Sullivan (Merchants&#39; National Bank, 1914), and Hyland & Green (Grinnell State Bank, 1913/1914) and F.E. Wetherell (Hermon Masonic Temple, 1917).</p><br>
<p>Larsons Hunters Resort is a historic former hunting resort in Lake Valley Township, Minnesota, United States. It was in operation from the 1890s to the 1960s and became the best known hunting resort in Traverse County, while also being maintained as an active farm. Larsons Hunters Resort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. As a historic district it consists of a prominent brick farmhouse/lodge built in 1901 and eight outbuildings. It was nominated for exemplifying the important hunting industry in west-central Minnesota and the phenomenon of farmer/resort owners, while the main building was further noted as the largest and most intact farmhouse in Traverse County, and one of the few constructed of brick.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Larson&#39;s Hunters Resort is an approximately 4 acre property on the east shore of Mud Lake. The farmhouse is a -story building of smooth, light-brown brick on a boulder foundation. It has a hip roof with a projecting gable on the west façade. A long porch with Tuscan order columns supporting a hipped roof wraps around the west and south façades. There are smooth limestone window sills and lintels, and some simple decorative patterns in the brickwork. The interior has oak woodwork and 14 rooms.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the propertys nomination to the National Register, eight additional buildings remained from the farm/resort era. Five were rental cabins for hunters and the other three were agricultural buildings. Three of the cabins stood north of the farmhouse amid a stand of trees. The largest was built in the early 20th century near the lakeshore and moved later; another was built around 1940. Southeast of the farmhouse was the Larsons original 1891 house, which upon the completion of the larger building in 1901 was converted to a granary, then later moved and used as a wash house, then a wood shed, then converted to a guest cabin in the 1930s. Nearby was a two-car garage built around 1920 whose south wing, initially an ice house, was converted to a cabin around 1941. On the west side of the property, separated from the other buildings by a road, is a granary built around 1928. It stands one-and-a-half stories and has shiplap siding. A hog barn built nearby in the early twentieth century was later moved south of the garage, where it was used as a chicken coop and then a boathouse. Next to that was a small, early-20th-century shed. A barn and machine shed were built on the west side of the property in the 1890s but were later demolished.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Andrew Larson (1853–1921) and his wife Bertha (1859–1941) were Swedish immigrants who bought this property in 1890. They settled close to other relatives who had preceded them to Traverse County. The Larsons initially lived in a dugout until they completed a wood-frame farmhouse the next year. They established a grain, cattle, and hog farm and expanded into three adjacent lots by 1904.</p><br>
<p>Western Minnesota, with its prairies, sloughs, rivers, and lakes, supported bountiful populations of waterfowl and upland game birds, and the Red River of the North marked a significant migratory flyway. Railway access was established in the 1870s and the region took off as a recreational hunting destination. Thousands of sportsmen from Minneapolis–Saint Paul and other parts of Minnesota arrived in season, often in special rail cars or train excursions catering to hunters with their cargos of guns and dogs. Hotels in Western Minnesota towns welcomed the influx, setting up cots in the hallways after the rooms were all full. Local farmers quickly recognized a need for additional accommodations and an opportunity to supplement their incomes. Many farm families arranged to pick up guests at the train station and bring them back to their property by wagon, where they were provided with beds, breakfast and dinner at the farmhouse, and a boxed lunch. Some even hired themselves out as guides or porters. Most of this commerce was fairly informal, but a few families parlayed this practice into a full-fledged business.</p><br>
<p>Andrew and Bertha Larson were among this number. They had begun hosting hunters in the late 1890s, but in 1901 they invested fully in the enterprise. They hired Alfred Setterlund, an architect and contractor in nearby Wheaton, Minnesota, to build a bigger farmhouse. Setterlund, a Swedish immigrant who had arrived in Wheaton in 1885, designed a farmhouse/lodge with eight guest rooms, a large kitchen, a dining room, and a library. For the walls he used brick manufactured in St. Louis, shipped by rail to Herman, Minnesota, and carried to the Larsons farm in wagons. Soon, with additional cabins and even space on the lawn for hunters who brought their own tents, Larsons Hunters Resort could accommodate up to 50 or 60 paying guests at a time. It also provided homemade boats with flat bottoms suitable for use on the shallow lake.</p><br>
<p>Traverse County, on the divide between the Red River and the Minnesota River, was one of the top hunting destinations in western Minnesota, and Larsons Hunters Resort was one of its best known resorts. Some of the most enthusiastic hunters stayed in the area for weeks, bagging thousands of birds. Although Minnesota began enacting state game laws and hunting limits in the late 19th century, the infrastructure to enforce them was slow in coming. Andrew Larson died in 1921 and ownership passed to son Edward and his wife Mabel. The decades of barely restrained hunting eventually took their toll, however, and the areas game bird populations declined precipitously in the 1950s and 60s. Edward and Mabel Larson closed the resort business in the 1960s, though the property remained in the family until 1979.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Middletown Springs was settled before the American Revolutionary War, and was incorporated in 1784. Its town center is located at the site of the supposed first house, a log structure (not surviving) built by Luther Fillmore. The orientation of the roads along the compass points took place not long after the town was organized. Proximity to the Poultney River meant the placement of grist and saw mills, a source of early economic activity. A. W. Gray, a local millwright, developed a new type of horse engine in the 1850s, and his factory, located in an old mill, flourished, resulting in a construction boom in the 1850s-1870s, including the construction of a number of vernacular and high-style Italianate houses. Although Gray&#39;s company declined after the 1880s (with the advent of the internal combustion engine), Gray also developed the Middletown mineral springs as a resort area, drawing tourists to the area in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on the junction of North, East, South, and West Streets, with the village common at the northeast corner of the junction, and the cemetery at its southwest. It radiates in all four directions, petering out into rural agricultural landscape. To the south, the district extends beyond the Poultney River, and along Mont Vert Road for a short distance. There are 91 buildings in the district, most of which are residences 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height. Wood construction with clapboarded exterior is typical. Prominent buildings include the Greek Revival community church at the north end of the common, and several high style Italianate houses. The Colonial Revival school house, set southwest of the cemetery, is the largest building in the district.</p><br>

<p>The Hyde Mansion, originally known as Elmhurst, is a historic house at 616 High Street in Bath, Maine, United States. Now the main building on the Bath campus of The Hyde Schools, it was built in 1913 for John Sedgewick Hyde, the son of Bath Iron Works  founder Thomas W. Hyde. It was designed by John Calvin Stevens, and is an example of Colonial Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hyde Mansion is located on the heights of Bath&#39;s west side, roughly west of the Bath Iron Works complex on the west side of High Street. It is set on a landscaped estate that now houses the facilities of the Hyde School. It is a -story brick building with trim of wood and stone. It is covered by a hip roof, and has extended brick chimneys at either end. A porch extends across the central portion of the front facade, with a narrower porte-cochere extending further out; both are supported by square brick columns with stone capitals. The school has added a modern wing, sympathetic in materials and style, to the south side of the building.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was designed by Maine&#39;s leading architect of the early 20th century, John Calvin Stevens, and was completed in 1913. The grounds on the west side of the house were landscaped in the Italian garden style by Carl Rust Parker, a landscape architect from Portland. The mansion was built for John Sedgewick Hyde, the son of Bath Iron Works founder Thomas W. Hyde, on land that had been in the family since the early 19th century. Hyde was then the owner of BIW, having purchased it from Charles M. Schwab in 1905. The younger Hyde is credited with developing the works as a leading naval shipyard in the following decades.</p><br>
<p>In 1947, Hyde&#39;s heirs donated the estate to the Pine Tree Society for Crippled Children, for use as rehabilitation and convalescent facility. In 1966, the estate became the campus of The Hyde Schools. The interior of house was extensively damaged by fire in the 1970s, but was meticulously restored.</p><br>
<p>The Blossom House is a historic house museum on Main Street in Monmouth, Maine. Built about 1808, it is a well-preserved example of a Federal period Cape style house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and now serves as a museum for the local historical society.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Blossom House stands in the village of Monmouth, on the west side of Main Street (Maine State Route 132), just south of the Flanders Drive loop which traverses the Monmouth Historical Society&#39;s property. The house is a single-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, central chimney, and granite foundation. The windows are simply framed, and the entrance is adorned by a five-pane transom window. The interior follows a typical central chimney plan, with a narrow entry vestibule leading to the parlor (right) and kitchen (left). In the rear of the house is a large bedroom with small chambers to either side. The house is attached on its south end to a larger two-story frame building.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built about 1808 by Ansel Blossom, a farmer. It originally had a small addition on the south side, which was replaced in the late 19th century by the present two-story building, when the property was adapted for use as a hotel. It is the town&#39;s only surviving example of early 19th-century residential architecture, retaining period interior and exterior finishes.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Farm is a historic farm complex in rural western Nelson County, Virginia. It is located on the south side of Patrick Henry Highway  west of Roseland, on the western shore of the Tye River. Set on 295 acre, it has a history dating to the early-to-mid 19th century, with the main farm complex set near the center of rolling fields. The main house is an 1841 late Federal period wood-frame house, and it is surrounded by a variety of domestic and agricultural outbuildings, including an ice house, poultry house, and smokehouse, all from the 1840s. Near the road stands a secondary complex that includes a mid-19th century tenant house. Development on the farm apparently began between 1831 and 1835 by James D. Goodwin.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Rock Cliff is a historic farm property at 12615 Norwood Road, near Wingina in Nelson County, Virginia. It consists of 692 acre, roughly bounded by Norwood Road on the south, James River Road on the east, and Union Hill Road on the north. The property was developed beginning in 1854, the year the main house, a wood frame I-house, was built. It was developed by Dr. William Horsley, divided amongst his five children, and then reassembled by his grandson. The farm complex also includes a 19th-century smokehouse, kitchen, and doctor&#39;s office, as well as the c. 1860 Horsley family cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Old Gray House, also known as the Hodgden-Merrow House, is a historic house at 60 Tavenner Road, on Sawyers Island in Boothbay, Maine. The house, probably built in the 1820s, but possibly older , is built on a site that has been in documented use since the 1740s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Old Gray House stands near the northwestern tip of Sawyer Island, a large island on the west side of the town of Boothbay in the Sheepscot River. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. The front facade, facing south, is five bays wide and slightly asymmetrical, with larger bays to the right of the entrance, which is slightly off-center. The entrance is framed by pilasters and topped by a transom window and corniced entablature. An enclosed porch projects to the west side, and a two-story ell extends north from the main block. The interior is well preserved, retaining original plaster, woodwork, and fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>The exact construction date of the house is uncertain, with architectural evidence suggesting a date in the early 19th century. The oldest documentary evidence of the property is a 1746 deed for the entire island, and by 1753 there was a house on the site, which served as a tavern, inn, and store, under the proprietorship of Joseph Patten. In 1774, Benjamin Sawyer acquired ownership of the island, and he continued to operate the businesses on the island until losing it to foreclosure in 1786. The Hodgdon family then owned most of the island into the early 20th century. It is likely that the house was either built or enlarged in the 1820s, giving it its present high-quality Federal period finishes. In 1918 the house was purchased by the Merrow family, which undertook a renovation in consultation with architect Charles Way of Sudbury, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The Beers and St. John Company Coach Inn is a historic building located west of West Liberty, Iowa, United States. The company was granted the USA Mail delivery contract between Iowa City and Muscatine in 1839 and began service in 1841. Beers and St. John and Egbert T. Smith built this two-story frame structure the following year. At the time, Iowa was still a territory and Iowa City was the capital. It was a swing station where horses and drivers were switched, and it was a crossroads where the Muscatine-Iowa City route crossed with the Davenport-Iowa City route. Smith&#39;s wife died in 1854 and is buried on the property, as is a family who died while staying here. The inn closed in 1855 with the arrival of the railroad, and the building was converted into a house.</p><br>
<p>The basic design of the structure was a copy of Smith&#39;s previous home on Long Island, New York. The siding, windows, doors and interior millwork were constructed in Cincinnati and shipped by steamboat to Iowa. At one time it had an octagonal glass cupola on the roof where they hung a lantern at night so the stagecoach drivers could find the inn. A foyer, a large gathering room and two dining rooms were located on the first floor. The kitchen was in a separate building, and no longer exists.
