<p>The Peacock Tavern is a historic tavern building at 1037 United States Route 201 in Richmond, Maine. Built in 1807, it is one of the rural community&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and has long been a landmark on what was once the main road between Augusta and Portland. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was owned by the state, forming part of Peacock Beach State Park, but was privately owned by Dennis and Susan Cloukey from 1987 to 1990 and has been privately owned by Christine and Christopher Faris since 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Peacock Tavern stands on the east side of US 201 in rural Richmond, opposite the entrance to Peacock Beach State Park. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. It is seven bays wide, with a typical five-bay facade augmented by asymmetrically placed windows to the left. The front entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a decorative carved entablature and dentillated cornice. The interior contains well-preserved but simple Federal period woodwork, including wood paneling, fireplace mantels, and wainscoting. The main stair&#39;s newel post is a 20th-century reproduction.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was built in 1807, along what was historically the main road leading south from Augusta. It was built by Benjamin Shaw, but sold soon afterward to Edward Peacock, from whom it acquired its name. The two-bay ell, which extends the building to the left and rear, was added later in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Foster-Redington House is a historic house at 8 Park Place in Waterville, Maine. Built in 1883, it is a fine example of Queen Anne architecture, supposedly the citys first example of the style. It was built by Moses Coburn Foster, a well-known builder in the state, as his private residence. Moses owned M.C. Foster & Son, general contractors and builders. An advertisement for the business lists its location as 7 Park Place, which was the home built for his son, Herbert Foster. Herbert died at 38 years old. Herberts home is as unique as Moses&#39; but has not been restored, but instead, turned into two apartments.</p><br>
<p>Moses was born in Newry in 1827. His father, Benjamin Foster, was a Methodist minister for fifty years. His mother was Lovisa Coburn of Tyngsboro, Massachusetts. Moses married in 1849 Francina Smith of Bethel, Maine. Foster built the Grand Trunk Railroad at Island Pond; the Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. the addition of the Maine State House; post-offices at Houlton, Skowhegan, and Bangor; the East Maine Insane Asylum and Maine Central Station at Brunswick; and many churches (Bethel, Andover, Rumford and Houlton).</p><br>

<p>8 Park Place became the home to Carrie Foster Redington, daughter of Moses and teacher before her marriage at the Mill Street Primary School (according to the 1887 Waterville Directory), and her husband, Frank Redington, a businessman, city mayor and civic leader. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014 after nomination by its current owner, Nancy J. Williams, a native of Savannah, Georgia. Nancy purchased the house July 2, 2012 while still working as the executive director of Lake George Land Conservancy in Bolton Landing, NY. She moved to the house from Queensbury, NY, around January 2016. Major projects completed by Nancy included shingling the roof, removal of knob and tube wiring, replacement with modern wiring, restoration of the front porchs steps and upper spindles, restoration of the master bedrooms ceiling, and restoration of rooms to their original condition of between 1883 and 1910. Bruce and Amy Bernard, the previous owners, had replaced rotting shingles on the lower level with accurate copies, rebuilt a rear chimney and remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Foster-Redington House stands in central Waterville, at the end of Park Place, a spur projecting north from the mainly residential Park Street. Moses Foster had earlier built or lived in a house on Park Street which abutted (more recently named Veteran&#39;s Park), then a cemetery. That house is no longer extant. 8 Park Place is a two-story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing typical of the Queen Anne period. It has several projecting gable sections, and a square turret at the front corner, partially overhanging a single-story porch. The exterior is finished in a combination of decorative shingles and wooden clapboards, with some applied Stick style woodwork and vergeboard. The original carriage shed is attached but lost its corner, diagonal entrance from a fire. The interior has retained some of its original features, most notably the entrance hallway with formal fireplace and "mahogany woodwork" and stairs. The original kitchen, now the dining room, had faux-oak cabinets that were moved to a newly constructed hallway made by partitioning off the old kitchen with built-in cabinets with glass doors. The tin ceilings, chandeliers, and fluted Doric columns in the opening between the parlor and library were most likely added by Carrie and Frank Redington in a remodeling of the home, possibly as late as 1906, after the death of Moses Foster. Frank owned a furniture store on Silver Street where he was found dead on February 14, 1923, by a gun wound to his head, reported as self-inflicted. A newspaper reported that Frank had been ill for many years. While President of the Waterville Board of Trade and mayor of the city, Frank pushed vigorously to build a new city hall. Many of the larger industries in the city, including Lockwood Company, fought the project. After seven years the matter was finally settled by the Maine Supreme Court after fourteen months of deliberation. Frank also worked to secure $250,000 for the construction of the Federal Post Office on the corner of Main and Elm Streets, now sadly in disrepair. While mayor, land for the "Gilman Street" high school was purchased and its construction began. Carrie lived another thirty years in the house, dying December 24, 1953.</p><br>
<p>The Fuller-Weston House is a historic house at 11 Summer Street in Augusta, Maine. Built in 1818, it is a fine local example of Federal period architecture, and is further notable for several of its occupants, who include the Chief Justice of the United States Melville Fuller. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It now serves as the rectory of St. Mark&#39;s Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fuller-Weston House stands on the east side of Summer Street, a largely residential street north of the city&#39;s downtown. It is oriented facing south. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. It has a five-bay main facade, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a Federal style louvered fan. It is sheltered by a flat-roof portico supported by square posts.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1818 for Henry Weld Fuller, a lawyer who purchased 100 acre of land, including much of central Augusta. Fuller sold the house in 1827 to Nathan Weston, who had just been appointed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, and became its chief justice in 1834. Westons daughter married Fullers son, and they gave birth to Melville Fuller, who served as the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1888 to 1910.</p><br>
<p>The Paris Post Office is located at 206 North Elm Street in downtown Paris, Arkansas. It is located in a modest Colonial Revival building, built in 1937 as part of a major federal building project. It is notable for the controversy over its interior artwork, which was funded by the Treasury Departments Section of Fine Arts, and executed by Joseph P. Vorst. The murals proposed by Vorst depicted a raggedly dressed African-American with several skinny mules, approaching a tarpaper shack that appears to be the mans home. There was public outcry, with Vorst defending the depiction as an accurate rendition of the area during a visit he made. He then submitted an alternate drawing, which showed a stock farm, cotton gin, and other more benign imagery, which was accepted.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The New Liberty School is a historic school building in rural Logan County, Arkansas. It is located east of New Blaine, on the south side of Arkansas Highway 22 east of the New Liberty Church. It is a single-story masonry structure, built of coursed stone and covered by a metal hip roof. Its front entrance is sheltered by a gabled portico supported by simple square posts set on brick piers. It was built in 1922, and is a well-preserved example of an early 20th-century school, built before Arkansas instituted significant reforms in school building standards.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The building now stands vacant.</p><br>
