<h3>The Old State Bank</h3><br>
<p>The Old State Bank is the oldest existing bank structure in Indiana. On Feb. 13, 1834, the Indiana General Assembly chartered the Second State Bank of Indiana, with headquarters in Indianapolis and 12 branches across the state. Construction of the bank in Vincennes began in July 1838. The bank moved into this building upon its completion in November 1838 having been previously located in a rented space on First Street between Main and Vigo Streets. The banks facade is an imitation of the front of a Greek temple; this distinctive design known as the Greek Revival Style. The style is carried over into the main room of the bank where six fluted columns, more than 30 feet tall, support a bell-shaped cupola that admitted light into the main room. Given the proximity to the Wabash River, Vincennes was a strong fur-trading location early in Indiana’s history and the banks charter allowed it to take furs and produce in exchange for cash. The Old State Bank helped transform Indiana from a fur-trade to agricultural economy and was a key establishment in settling the Midwest.</p><br>

<p>Named for Joseph Lombard pere, the purchaser of the plot of land for his son, the tract of land was acquired October 25, 1825. In a series of transactions, the land was sold back to Lombard to improve the land for $7,500. He then sold the improved land back to his son, Joseph Guilaume, with the plantation house for $13,000; the 1825-1926 transaction records establish the value of the building was $5,500. The plantation property boundaries began with Mississippi River fronted property (1.5 arpents) and 1.45 miles (40 arpents) towards Lake Pontchartrain. The sale to Guilaume included a kitchen house, eight cows, two mules, carts, and two slaves. The Lombard family owned the plantation for less than a decade; the land and house was sold April 11, 1833 to Phillipe Guesnon for a lucrative sum of $50,000 (~$ in ) for unknown reasons. The grounds were split between the heirs.</p><br>
<p>On January 20, 1835, the house and land were auctioned off to Frenchman Jean Louise Grasse; the bill of sale to Grease described the property as "une belle maison..." Grasse died March 1843 in debt, his widow renounced her succession of the plantation in order to pay off the debt. The Durands (property owners from 1843 to 1864) re-assembled the property and continued to use the plantation for commercial agriculture. Charles Caffin controlled the plantation from 1864 to 1880; during his tenure he added a cast iron cornstalk fence to the property, which lasted until the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>In 1878, the building was auctioned, the parcel was subdivided again and within a decade shotgun houses were built within the property boundaries. In 1930, Heinrich Buthmann controlled the house as an art shop and residence. The next owner, Watkin Eschette, converted the basement into two rentals and sold off the backyard. In the mid to late 50s, the front yard was sold and developed as a cinder block bikers bar.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, the bar and the lot were sold to the current owner, Frederick Starr. The bar was immediately demolished. After Hurricane Katrina, the owner was able to purchase the former backyard and reunited the immediate part of the property.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural description</h2><br>
<p>The West Indian plantation home was most likely designed by Haitian Creole surveyor-architect Pilie. A raised house on pillars, in the 1950s the basement was filled in for rental units. The facade has plaster walls with five openings evenly spaced; the staircase in the center of the porch opens outwards to the yard and divides the six pillars supporting the overhangs. The roof is hipped with a central dormer on each elevation, it also has deep overhangs creating porches on the facade and the rear elevation.</p><br>
<p>The building has a raised basement, a main floor with five rooms, and an attic. The rooms on the main floor are a reception room, dining room seating twelve, small dining room for family use, salon, bedroom, and an office. The attic best represents the best Norman trussing in North America. 4 cypress vertical beams come down from the roof. Rectangular connections at the base of the roof redistribute the tension to the exterior walls. There are no support beams that connect the roof to the floor plate. Each beam was inscribed with roman numerals and connected to one another with a mortise and peg system.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>Over the last decade the plantation home has been restored back to its initial construction by the current owner. The raised basement has a repointed foundation, excess wiring and plumbing were removed, the cypress beams were reinforced with iron. Wood windows were restored, paint was stripped in all rooms and colors close to the originals were chosen, including the "french blue" line beneath the ceilings of the main bedrooms and a good line in the dining room. Chemical analysis in the dining room revealed the turquoise color and the gold stenciling painted by local artist Patricia Cummings.</p><br>
<p>The kitchen house was completely reconstructed from the 1843 notarial archives drawings by J.A. Pueyo and historic architect, Rick Fifield. The plan showed the ground plan of the kitchen and a painting of an overseer&#39;s cottage, allowing additional details and assumptions of the style and scale of the kitchen house. That plan pointed to the location of the kitchen house which lead to excavation of the site. Brick flooring, shutter hinges, and part of the fireplace were discovered. The owner and his consultants were able to examine the house for clues of how the kitchen house would have been built, for example, the chimney in the house was a reference point for the construction of the chimney where it meets the roof. https://savingplaces.org/stories/period-piece-creole-style-house-new-orleans#.WHPlSfkrLIU</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The Affair at Cedar Bridge or the Battle of Cedar Bridge</h3><br>
<p>While the Siege of Yorktown and surrender by Cornwallis is considered the last major conflict on American soil during the American Revolution, dozens of small engagements and skirmishes took place up to the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The last conflict took place on the Jersey Shore in 1782.</p><br>
<p>On December 27, 1782, forces for the new republic led by Captains Richard Shreve and Edward Thomas were informed that notorious Loyalist John Bacon was in the vicinity of the tavern. They engaged Bacon and his Loyalist bandits (known now as "Refugees") at Cedar Bridge. A brief exchange of gunfire took place, and Bacon and his men were able to escape. One Patriot was killed, and four were wounded. Four Loyalists were wounded, including Bacon.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>According to a 1981 survey by preservationists working with the New Jersey Office of Cultural and Environmental Services, the Cedar Bridge Tavern was estimated to have been built around 1740 close to a stage coach route between Camden and the Jersey Shore. The wood-sided tavern with the long front porch has served as a hotel, restaurant and bar for travelers. Ocean County purchased the property from its last owner, Rudolf Koenig, in 2008 for $120,000. The structure still sits on dirt road and is surrounded by pine trees. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 2013.

<p>The Harry Merrill House, also known as the Harrington–Merrill House, is a historic house in Hutchinson, Minnesota, United States. The house is the oldest wood-framed structure in Hutchinson and one of the oldest in McLeod County. It was built in 1858 by Lewis Harrington, then occupied 1886 to 1932 by Harry Merrill, who served as superintendent of local schools for 33 years. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 for having local significance in the theme of education. It was nominated for its association with Harry Merrill, arguably the single most important educator in Hutchinson&#39;s history.</p><br>
<h2>Lewis Harrington</h2><br>
<p>The Merrill House was completed in 1858 by one of Hutchinsons founders, Lewis Harrington. Harrington came to Minnesota in 1855, where he met the Hutchinson brothers John, Asa, and Judson. Along with other investors, they formed the Hutchinson Company. The company selected the town site of Hutchinson in November 1855. Harrington played a central role in the new town. He surveyed and built roads, and was the citys first postmaster. He married Ellen Pendergast in 1857. With a child on the way, the couple decided to build a new home. The new house was built in what was called "the grove". The house was two stories, built in the Greek Revival style. Key architectural elements were a front gabled entrance and a one-story, shed-roof entry porch.</p><br>
<p>During the Dakota War of 1862 the town was attacked by Dakota Indians. Hutchinson residents erected a stockade around the center of town and chose Lewis Harrington as their captain. His house was located outside the stockade. Many structures were burned to the ground, but the Harringtons&#39; home survived. Harrington continued to work as a surveyor and an engineer, and later served in the state legislature. He died in 1884.</p><br>
<h2>Harry Merrill</h2><br>
<p>Harry Merrill came to Hutchinson in 1882 to serve as school superintendent. He married Lewis Harringtons daughter Martha in 1886. The couple moved into the house with Marthas mother, Ellen.</p><br>
<p>The building was altered to reflect the new architectural fashions. A two-story bay window and one-story box bay window were added on the south elevation. A one-story summer kitchen wing was added to the west side of the house as well. Various other alterations also occurred in the years between 1890 and 1915, including the addition of a screened pavilion on the south and a bedroom on the north. On the spacious grounds, trees and a garden were planted. The Merrills used the home for school functions, and often took in students who worked for room and board.</p><br>
<p>Merrill had a substantial impact on his adopted hometown, holding the post of superintendent for 33 years. In a farm-oriented community, his most important task might have been to get students to attend. He oversaw the implementation of several laws regarding state education. In 1909, when the state authorized vocational education, Merrill began agriculture, manual training, and domestic classes in Hutchinson.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1912 Merrill initiated a normal school in association with the high school. It was the only such school in McLeod County, and for more than two decades many of its graduates staffed rural schools in the surrounding area. A measure of Merrill&#39;s influence on education is seen in the respect that he earned within the profession, evidenced by his time as president of the Minnesota Education Association in 1914–1915.</p><br>
<p>Merrill was also a civic leader in Hutchinson. He held the post of city councilor and sat on the citys first library board. He was president of the citys Electric Light Company and commercial club. In addition to teaching, Merrill enjoyed farming and planted an apple orchard near his home. He died in 1932 and was followed by his wife Martha in 1935.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The next owner of the house was the Merrills&#39; son Lewis, who was a civil engineer. He served as Hutchinson city engineer and McLeod County surveyor. Lewis Merrill brought new tastes to the house after World War I. The bays lost their Victorian detailing and the two-story bay became a one-story entry. The summer kitchen was removed and the porch portion of the kitchen wing was again altered and a second dormer window added.</p><br>
<p>After Lewiss death in 1970, the house fell into disrepair. In 2002 a fire destroyed the kitchen wing and severely damaged the interior of the rest of the house. The property was acquired by the city of Hutchinson late in 2003. The citys park system managed the building, and a local committee began supervising its upkeep and interpretation.</p><br>
