<p>The Biblioteca Carnegie  on Avenida Juan Ponce de León in Puerta de Tierra, San Juan, Puerto Rico is a NRHP-listed Carnegie library funded through a $100,000 donation from the Carnegie Foundation, when it was completed in 1915.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1901, then-Education Commissioner, Martin Grove Brumbaugh, initiated talks with Andrew Carnegie with the purpose of building a public library in San Juan, Its origins stem from the Insular Library created in 1903, created by the then-new civil government, which itself came from the military-rule era San Juan Free Library, which was a merger of five pre-existing libraries under Spanish-rule: the library of the Dominican and Franciscan monasteries, the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, the library of the and Treasury Department of Puerto Rico, the library of the Royal College of Lawyers-General Secretary and the library of the Institute of Secondary Education and Normal School.</p><br>
<p>It has a Classical Revival stylings and was designed and built by the Puerto Rican engineer Ramón Carbia in 1914, when work on the project commenced on land donated by the Puerto Rico government. In June 1916, the collection of the Insular Library, which had previously been known as the San Juan Public Library, was transferred to the building and the library, which was named Biblioteca Carnegie, itself was inaugurated on 27 July, when the Puerto Rican government formally accepted the donation. From 1917 till 2010, the library was administered by the Department of Education. In its first forty years of service the library had nine reading rooms, membership, with an average of 200 daily visitors. Under the 222 Law of 1946 a $6,000 amount was made available to the librarys board of trustees, with the intent of establishing the Biblioteca Rodante ("Library on Wheels"). The then-Department of Public Instruction was authorized to organize and equip the Biblioteca Rodante, which offered it services through the use of cajas viajeras ("travelling boxes"), which were shelves used to carry books to isolated schools and communities. The project started in 1948 under the direction of Federico Porrata Doría, Francisco Porrata-Dorías brother, with two vehicles carrying books for children and adults, as users ranged from elementary-level school children to adults aged eighty to ninety-years old.</p><br>
<p>However, in 1965, the library was closed to due the deterioration, which in response Nilita Vientós Gastón, who had served as president of the neighboring Ateneo Puertorriqueño, penned. It was remodelled with some alterations on the floors and reopened in 1969, albeit with a reduced number of visitors, registering 7,000 users that year. That same year it hosted its first Salón de Humoristas de Puerto Rico ("Puerto Rico Comedian&#39;s Hall"), which would continue for 22 years, displaying the work of humourists such as Carmelo Filardi, Arturo Yépez, José Ramón Cepero, Ismael Rodríguez, Díaz de Villegas among others. The library received commendations from former-Governor Luis Muñoz Marín, who had recently started his vacation in Rome, writing "Humor is intelligent laughter."</p><br>
<p>In addition, the library was host to the first meetings of the UNESCO Cultural Center in 1973 and held thirty-six "UNESCO Chamber Music Concerts" with the likes of Jesús María Sanromá and Héctor Campos Parsi. Ricardo Alegría had talented students from the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico present their "masterpieces" at exhibitions held in the librarys exhibition hall on the upper floor. It was also the meeting place for the first meetings and exhibitions of the Academy of Heraldic and Historical Studies and the Theatre Board, then directed by Raulito Carbonells namesake father.</p><br>
<p>During the following decades, it closed by season and had its working hours reduced as a result of lack of funds. Additionally, in 1989, as a consequence to the significant damages the building suffered during Hurricane Hugo, the library was closed, leaving San Juan without a public library. In 1991, the Department of Education, "supported by a group of citizens interested in the library, decided to restore the building." The next year, a law was passed which permitted the Department of Education integrate the community by subdelegating the administration of the library to a governmental agency or NGO. The organization selected was the Biblioteca Carnegie Board of Trustees, reopening in 1995. In 2010, the San Juan municipal legislature approved an ordinance to accept the library building, possessions and land from the Department of Education, per a Legislative Assembly resolution. After which, then-San Juan mayor Jorge Santini commenced the "total disinterest of the municipality in preserving it" however "community efforts have been made to reopen it without success." After the José Julián Acosta Theater Arts School, located a down the street, was declared "partially not apt for use" after the 2019–20 Puerto Rico earthquakes, then-mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz announced an agreement with the Department of Education to rehabilitate the library and transfer students temporarily, using 11 classrooms and a recreative area at the library and supplying the use of the Ateneo Puertorriqueños theatre and the Teatro Tapia, equipment and breakfasts supplied by the municipality, while lunches were the Departments responsibility, as well as Wi-Fi and a radio with direct communication to the municipality&#39;s Emergency Management Office and establishing an identification card system for the 182 students and 31 faculty, amounting to a sum of $85,000 investment.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>In 1983 the state architect of Puerto Rico wrote "This is a fine Neoclassical, 2-storied building with a rectangular plan." but noted that the building "has not been properly maintained and is in fair condition."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the NRHP in 1983 and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Services</h2><br>
<p>Puerto Rico law permits members of the Legislative Assembly, Supreme Court, and District court judges as well as prosecutors to check out most books for a maximum of thirty days. Among the collection there were books from the collections from three Princes of Wales, three Medieval abbots and Ludwig II. When the library closed after Hurricane Hugo it was open seven days a week, had rooms for references, circulation, magazines, teenagers, children, computer, movies and cultural events, as well as virtual references and night galleries.</p><br>
<p>The library held alliances with the Pedro Henríquez Ureña National Library as well as Juan Bosch himself, it hosted a camp for children below the poverty line, with meals provided by the Department of Educations school cafeterias. Its bebeteca ("babys library") hosted childrens festival, while it held "la hora del cuento ("story hour") with older children. The teenagers room had book and computers, prepared for their homework or entertainment. It also hosted computer classes for the elderly, and invited the homeless to use their facilities as well.</p><br>
<p>The Kegler-Gonner Store and Post Office, also known simply as Gonner&#39;s Store, is a historic commercial building located in Springbrook, Iowa, United States. Christian Kegler had the western portion of this building constructed around 1874 for his general store. The post office had relocated to this site two years earlier, with Kegler serving as the postmaster. Over time, three additions were made to the original structure, and the building reached its final form by 1933.</p><br>
<p>In 1904, John Gonner bought a stake in the store and by 1908, he owned it entirely. The building continued to be known as Gonner&#39;s Store at least into the mid-1980s. Today, a restaurant occupies the space, and apartments are located on the second floor. The east side of the second level once used as a boarding house.</p><br>
<p>The building is notable for its construction from coursed ashlar limestone, with stones of various sizes. The tin cornice that caps the main facade features finials, brackets, dentils, and modillion trims. A balcony and a tin awning runs the entire front of the building. The western portion of the building is capped by a hip roof, while the eastern section is capped with a gable roof. Local stonemasons Peter and John Weis were believed to have constructed the original structure.</p><br>
<p>The Kegler-Gonner Store and Post Office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Harris Wagon and Carriage Shop is a historic industrial/commercial building located in La Motte, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 20 are commercial/industrial buildings. The three-story structure was built in 1871, possibly for Levi Hutchins. It is also possible it was built for the Will and F.R. Harris Wagon & Carriage Shop, which was located here. There was some difficulty identifying the original owner. Over the years the building has also housed a harness shop, a hardware store, and a feed and farm supply store, before becoming a bank in 1982. The stone blocks that were used in the construction of this rectangular structure vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. The window sills and lintels are dressed stone. It features a symmetrical, three bay facade. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Virginia Recreation Building is a former community center in Virginia, Minnesota, United States, that was later converted into a factory. It was designed by architect Frederick German and built in 1923 as an ice hockey and curling rink to provide a public venue for physical development to the working class men largely employed in Iron Range mines. A generation later, as the gender balance of the city&#39;s population evened out, the building was converted into a shirt factory in 1947 to create jobs for women. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for its state-level significance in the themes of industry and social history. It was nominated for encapsulating the social welfare of the Progressive Era and the robust public spending funded by the mining boom, and the transition to a more gender-balanced population and need to diversify the economy.</p><br>
<p>The St. Louis County government acquired the building in 2003 and repurposed it as the Northland Office Center. As of 2018 they are planning to demolish the building to construct a modern government service center.</p><br>
<p>Edificio Victory Garden is a four-story apartment house that faces on Ponce de Leon Avenue and Elisa Colberg Street in the Miramar district of Santurce, Puerto Rico. It was deemed notable as "one of Puerto Rico&#39;s finest examples of Spanish Revival apartment houses from the early 20th century."</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Pedro Adolfo de Castro y Besosa (January 5, 1895-October, 1936), the first United States university-trained Puerto Rican architect. He designed 33 or more apartment houses during 1929–1936. Rafael Carmoega emerged to higher prominence only after de Castro&#39;s early death, at age 41.</p><br>
<p>Although it appears massive, the buildings footprint only uses up 30 percent of the lots area. It is U-shaped with a courtyard not visible from the corner of the streets.</p><br>
<p>Mill Rock School is a historic one-room schoolhouse located south of Baldwin, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 12 are school buildings. This school building was built in 1869 by Abner Hunt and P.A. Downer. The stone blocks that were used in the construction of this rectangular structure vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. The window sills and lintels are dressed stone. There is a brick chimney on the west elevation, and two entrance doors on the east elevation. Having two entrance doors is unusual for rural Jackson County schools. A name and date stone is located in the east gable.</p><br>
<p>The school building was built in the town of Mill Rock, the first municipality established in Monmouth Township. When the Midland Railroad was built to the northeast in 1872, the town of Baldwin was established and Mill Rock declined. A few houses and the school were all that remained by the 1890s. The school itself was abandoned in the first quarter of the 20th-century. The building is now owned by the Jackson County Conservation Board, and serves as a community center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Central School, also known as Hickory Grove School, is a historic one-room schoolhouse located northeast of Canton, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 12 are school buildings. This school building was built in 1868, possibly by G.W. Kelsall or Issac Wilmer McCullogh, who were local stonemasons. The stone blocks that were used in the construction of this rectangular structure vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. What is unusual about the stone used here is that they are long and narrow, compared to the other buildings. The stones used at the corners are somewhat larger. The window sills and lintels are dressed stone. The stone used for this building was quarried about a mile north of here. A name and date stone are located on the east gable, above the door. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Canton School is a historic one-room schoolhouse located in the unincorporated community of Canton, Iowa, United States. This school building was built in 1877 of locally quarried, roughly-dressed limestone, laid in a random ashlar pattern. The main facade, however, is faced with concrete brick that is original to the structure. What is unusual about this building is its decorative elements, as most one-room schoolhouses built in Iowa were plain. The eaves and the two-stage wooden bell tower are edged with rather delicate wooden trim, and the windows are capped with concrete keystone hoods. The use of concrete is rather sophisticated for a building in the vernacular-folk architectural style in stone. The building served as a school until 1966 when the area&#39;s school districts were reorganized. It served as a church until 1968, and it is now surrounded by a park.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Thomaston Historic District encompasses much of the historic town center of Thomaston, Maine. With a settlement history dating to the 17th century, the town is now a showcase of 19th-century architectural styles up to the 1870s. The district extends for about 2 mi along United States Route 1, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town center of Thomaston is located at one of the heads of Muscongus Bay, directly adjacent to the mouth of the Saint George River on Maines Mid Coast. This area was first explored by Europeans in the early 17th century, and was the site of trading post for Native Americans in 1630. Settlement did not begin on a large scale until the 1730s because of conflicts with the natives, and the town was incorporated in 1777. The production of lime was from an early date an economically significant industry, as were lumbering and shipbuilding. These industries, and the business activities of American Revolutionary War General Henry Knox in the late 18th century, were critical factors in the towns growth.</p><br>
<p>The historic district primarily along United States Route 1 between Kossuth Street and Maine State Route 131, and along Knox Street, which extends south from US 1 to the harbor. The eastern end of the district is anchored by the 1929 reproduction of General Knox&#39;s mansion house, the deteriorated original having been razed in the 1860s. The brick commercial buildings found on Main Street date mainly from the late 19th century, although there is one from the 1850s. Houses lining the streets include fine examples of the Federal and Greek Revival styles. The Baptist church was built in 1828, and given late Victorian styling in the 1870s, while the 1868-69 Episcopal church is a fine example wooden Gothic Revival, reminiscent of the designs of Richard Upjohn but actually the work of Portland architect Francis H. Fassett.</p><br>
<p>The Fowler-Steele House, also known historically as Ivy Hall, is a historic house on North Main Street in Windsor, Vermont, United States. Built in 1805 and restyled about 1850, it has an architecturally distinctive blend of Federal and Greek Revival styles. It served for many years as a local church parsonage. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fowler-Steele House stands on the northern fringe of Windsor&#39;s main village, on the east side of North Main Street just north of Hubbard Brook. Oriented facing south, it is a -story painted brick structure, with a gabled roof and brick foundation. Chimneys are located on the outside of the north and south elevations, an unusual placement for Vermont because snow sliding from the roof can apply pressure to them. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance that is slightly recessed and topped by a transom window. The interior follows a typical Georgian central hall plan, with nearly identical parlors on either side of a central hall, and the kitchen at the northeast corner. The parlors, each accessed by pocket doors, have elaborate Greek Revival trim, while the kitchen and northwest room retain more modest Federal period features. A -story brick ell extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1805 for Bancroft Fowler, the fourth minister of the Windsor Congregational Church, and is located near the site of the first European settlement in what is now Windsor. Fowler gave the house to the church congregation upon his departure from the post in 1819, and it served as the church parsonage until 1835, after which it was sold to the Baptist congregation and became their parsonage. Jason Steele, a local banker, bought the house in 1848, and added the then-fashionable Greek Revival features to the interior and exterior. In 1897 it was purchased by Will Davis, a railroad conductor, who improved its landscaping and dubbed it "Ivy Hall". In the 1960s it was converted for use as a medical office, with modernized interiors, but it has since then returned to residential use and had its interior restored.</p><br>
<p>The Insane Asylum at the County Poor Farm is a historic building located north of Andrew, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1872, this 2½-story structure is composed of stone blocks that vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. Because of its late date compared with the other historic stone buildings in the county, it features segmental arches instead of lintels. By the time it was built limestone construction in the county had already reached its peak. Adam Strasser and Frank Schlecht were contractors from Bellevue, Iowa who were responsible for its construction, as was local stonemason John Weis. The other 19th-century buildings from the poor farm have been removed, and replaced by the county care facility across the highway. This building is now part of a demonstration farm. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The former Jackson County Jail, also known as the Andrew Jail, is a historic building located in Andrew, Iowa, United States. Built in 1871 by local contractors Strasser and Schlecht, this building is the only reminder that Andrew was at one time the county seat for Jackson County. The stone blocks were quarried locally and vary somewhat in shape and size. They were laid in courses, and the window sills and lintels are composed of flat stones. The structure is capped with a cross-gable roof. After the courthouse moved to Maquoketa in 1873 the jail remained here until 1896. After a new jail was built in Maquoketa, this building was primarily used as a residence. A couple of frame additions have been built onto the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Narrow Gauge Depot-LaMotte is a historic building formerly located in La Motte, Iowa, United States. The Chicago, Bellevue, Cascade & Western Railroad was incorporated in August 1877, to build a narrow-gauge railway from Bellevue to Cascade. Narrow-gauge was chosen because it was cheaper to build, and it could negotiate the tight turns on the rugged terrain better. Construction began the following year, but lack of money doomed the project. The Chicago, Clinton, Dubuque and Minnesota Railroad took over the project, and it was completed on December 30, 1879. The first train reached Cascade on January 1, 1880. Ten months later they sold all their holdings to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, and this line became a branch line of the Milwaukee Road. That same year a frame depot was built in La Motte. It served as a combination freight and passenger station until it was destroyed by fire in 1910. This depot replaced it the following year. The 1½-story frame combination station represents the corporate style and standardized practices of the Milwaukee Road. However, it reflects the depots they built in the late 19th century, so it was somewhat outdated when it was built.</p><br>
<p>The depot served its purpose until the Milwaukee Road abandoned the line in 1936. There were 12 to 15 narrow gauge railroads built in Iowa, and this one survived longer than any of the others. The depot mostly sat empty until its exterior was refurbished by a group of volunteers for La Motte&#39;s Centennial in 1979. Rick Clasen, a local restaurant owner, bought the property in 1994 and continued to refurbish it. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) the following year.</p><br>
<p>The Riverview House is a historic house on United States Route 201 in southern Vassalboro, Maine. Built in 1796, this modest -story Cape house is believed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in the town. It has additionally been home to several prominent local politicians. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Riverview House stands on the east side of US 201, a short way south of its junction with Cushnoc Street, a former alignment of the main road paralleling the Kennebec River to the north. The house is a single-story wood frame Cape, set on a granite foundation, with a side gable roof and clapboarded exterior. An ell extending to the rear appears to be an original part of the house. The front facade is three bays wide, with windows in the outer bays and the entrance in the center, with flanking sidelight windows and a semi-oval transom window above. The door is sheltered by a Greek Revival porch, which is supported by paired columns and has a cutout gabled pediment that shows the transom window. The interior has evidence of two large chimneys, each with a cooking fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built about 1796, when it is mentioned in town tax records, and was certainly standing by 1821. Its modest features contrast it with a much more elaborate Greek Revival house that stands nearby, but is still possessed of unusually high ceilings and a comparatively elaborate interior, the result of 1830s renovations. The house was owned for many years by the Brown family, which sent three of its members to the state legislature.</p><br>
<p>The Fox Stand is a historic multipurpose commercial and residential building at 5615 Vermont Route 14 in Royalton, Vermont. Built in 1814, it served as a tavern and traveler accommodation on the turnpike  that ran along the north bank of the White River. It has been adaptively reused in a variety of configurations, most recently as a restaurant and dwelling for the restaurant&#39;s operator. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 as a particularly fine example of a Federal period tavern.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fox Stand stands on the west side of Vermont Route 14, at the southern end of the village of North Royalton, and just north of the bridge carrying Royalton Hill Road across the White River. It is a -story masonry structure, built of brick and set on a stone foundation. It has a gabled roof, with stepped gable ends and two interior chimneys. The main (east-facing) facade is six bays wide, with the main entrance roughly in the center, set in a keystoned segmented-arch opening with a transom window and sidelights. Sash windows are set in rectangular openings, with splayed stone lintels. The interior retains numerous period features, including fireplaces of brick and locally quarried soapstone, and two baking ovens.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was built in 1816-18 for Jacob Fox by Amasa Dutton, Jr., a prominent local builder. It was built to serve traffic on the White River Turnpike, opened in 1800, and as a social center for the community. Originally designed with a ballroom on the third floor, that space was used for local social events. In 1825 the tavern hosted the Marquis de Lafayette as he journeyed north to Montpelier. After the railroad was built through the area about 1850, the turnpike declined in use, and the tavern was closed. It was thereafter used for many years as a private residence, and was adapted for mixed commercial and residential use in the 1970s. It currently (as of 2015) houses a restaurant on the ground floor and an apartment on the second floor. The old ballroom on the third floor is intact but unused due to modern fire safety codes.</p><br>
<p>The Lane Plantation is a historic plantation located about 3.2 mi northeast of Ethel, Louisiana East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, USA.</p><br>
<p>The plantation, originally named Weston Place, (built c 1818 by Malachi Weston who had moved from South Carolina) was bought in 1849 by William Allen Lane from William Silliman who had purchased it in the last of a series of Sheriff’s sales after the heirs of Malachi Weston moved away around 1839. Prior to purchasing Weston Place, the Lane family (starting in 1835) resided in a home called Redwood exactly one mile west where Lane and his brother in law Thomas Lathrop Andrews operated a cotton plantation of approximately 600 acres. The property has remained then in the Lane family ever since.</p><br>
<p>A 335 acre area is owned by descendants of the Lane family, the Plauché family. (The surrounding land also remains owned by other Lane family heirs) 10 acre of the property consists of the Lane Plantation House, also known as Weston Place, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 22, 1993. It also contains a barn, tennis court, pond, outdoor garden, as well as three other houses.</p><br>
<p>Marston House is a historic mansion located at the corner of Bank Street and Marston Street in Clinton, East Feliciana Paris, Louisiana, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Marston House was built in the 1830s for the Union Bank of New Orleans. It was completed by Henry Marston, a cashier, in 1835. After the 1837 hurricane, Marston built more columns. Marston was the owner of slave plantations, and three of his sons served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the Marston family until 1941, when they donated it to the East Feliciana Parish. The parish leased it to the East Feliciana Pilgrimage and Garden Club in 1958, and they held fundraisers for its restoration. In the early 2000, it was leased to TrueHeart Feliciana, which restored it with state funds. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the house was run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In 2013, it was restored by James G. Marston III, Henry Marston&#39;s great-great-grandson.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 29, 1972.</p><br>
<p>The George Thorndike House is a historic house in Maine State Route 73 in South Thomaston, Maine. Built in 1855, it is one of the region&#39;s finest examples of Italianate architecture, its design attributed to Thomaston native Benjamin S. Deane. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The George Thorndike House stands on the east side of SR 73, north of the village center of South Thomaston, part of a row of late 19th-century houses. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof topped by a large square belvedere. The walls are sheathed in flushboard that has been scored to resemble stone, and was originally painted with sand-impregnated paint to reinforce the illusion. The building has quoined corners, and a deep eave studded with paired brackets. Ground floor windows are set in segmented-arch openings topped by bracketed and eared cornices. The front facade is three bays wide, with the center entrance sheltered by a porch supported by paired square posts and topped by a bracketed roof. A -story gabled ell joins the house to a matching period carriage barn.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1855 for George Thorndike a prominent local shipbuilder and ships captain. It was probably designed by the Bangor architect Benjamin S. Deane, a Thomaston native, but this attribution is based strictly on design similarities to Deanes work elsewhere, and his known association with the community. The house was, at the time of its construction, one of the most architecturally sophisticated in the region, and is one of only a few in central Maine from the period that has a rusticated exterior.</p><br>
<p>The Row House is a historic multiunit tenement house at 106-114 2nd Street in downtown Hallowell, Maine. Built in 1840, it is one of a small number of row houses built in 19th-century Maine, and is believed to be the oldest built of wood. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Row House stands on the east side of 2nd Street, between Winthrop and Central Streets, and just west of Water Street, the city&#39;s main commercial thoroughfare. It is a long rectangular -story wood-frame building, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. It houses for essentially identical units, each three bays wide with the entrance in the left bay. Windows are sash, and the doors are framed by broad molding with square corner blocks, and a simple narrow entablature runs below the main roof. Each unit has a single gabled dormer piercing the roof. Interiors feature period fireplaces and woodwork, the latter apparently machined.</p><br>
<p>The row house was built about 1840 for Isaac Gage, a prominent local landowner based in Boston, Massachusetts. Gage may have known architect Charles Bulfinch, a proponent of row houses whose family often summered in Hallowell because both were members of Bostons Old South Meeting House. Bulfinchs row houses were predominantly designed for upper-class owners, while this one was clearly built as a rental property for workers in Hallowell&#39;s industries. The building underwent a major restoration in the early 1970s.</p><br>
<p>This restoration was part of the national project from Row House Inc. Which has restored these houses and utilized these houses to make the area a historic area. These houses were utilized for their representation of the upper-class lifestyles shown from the 19th and 20th centuries.</p><br>

<p>The Gate of the Hills is a historic house at North and Royalton Hill Roads in Bethel, Vermont. Built about 1896, it was until 1918 home to Mary E. Waller, a prolific novelist and essayist of the early 20th century. The house is a distinctive early example of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture, probably based on designs originating in the Netherlands. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gate of the Hills stands at the southern fringe of a residential area south of Bethel village. It is set on a small level area north of the junction of North and Royalton Hill Roads, in a small clearing in the woods with a semicircular drive in front. The house is stories in height, with a massive stone foundation (apparently intended to support masonry walls) and a wooden frame clad in shingles. The roof has gables at the side, and its front slope extends down to the first floor, where it shelters a recessed porch, and has three large gabled dormers above. On the rear, the roof extends only to the top of the second floor, and is slightly flared (a Dutch Colonial feature) at the base.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1896 for Mary E. Waller and her mother; its designer and builder are not known. Waller made this her primary residence until 1918, and it was here that she wrote some of her best-known works, including the 1904 The Wood-carver o£ &#39;Lympus, which is set in Bethel. Although she did not write directly about the house, she occasionally wrote about its surrounding environment. The house itself is an unusual combination of American Shingle style architecture, with a number of distinctive features presaging the later Dutch Colonial Revival.</p><br>

<p>The Thompson Ice House stands on the east side of SR 129, just south of its junction with McFarlands Cove Road. It is set between the road and Thompsons Pond, a 3 acre freshwater pond. The ice house is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled main section flanked on its long sides by shed-roof ells. Its exterior walls are unpainted horizontal pine boards, and its interior walls are separated from the outside by a nine-inch gap filled with sawdust for insulation. Large doors on the east and west sides facilitate the movement of large ice cakes into and out of the building. The east (pond-facing) side has a channel which could be used to float the ice cakes into the building and onto conveyors that would move it into the storage area that occupies most of the building.</p><br>
<p>Although the construction date of the present building is unknown, ice harvesting is known to have been an active business here since 1826, when Asa Thompson began cutting ice from the pond. Ice harvesting was a significant business in Maine during the 19th century, eventually going out of favor with the advent of refrigeration technologies in the 1890s. The business was maintained by successive generations of Thompsons until 1985. In 1987, Herbert Thompson donated the property to a local non-profit, with the proviso that it continue to be operated in the traditional manner as a museum property.</p><br>
