<p>The Tillson Farm Barn stands on the south side of Warrenton Road, directly south of the head of Glen Cove, and northwest of the Riley School campus. It is a single-story rectangular wood-frame structure with a gabled roof, weatherboard exterior, and granite foundation. The roof is capped by two square cupolas, each of which has paired windows on each side, with chamfered corner posts and a bellcast hip roof. The front facade faces south (away from the road, from which it is screened by trees), and is dominated by a large tracked board-and-batten door with a transom window above. There are two sash windows above the door, with hooded moulding and cornices, and there is a decorative truss in the gable above, whose vertical member extends above the roof to form a sort of finial. The rake edge of the gable is adorned with modillions. The interior of barn, although utilitarian in nature, features turned posts and tongue-and-groove paneling in some of the stalls.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the barn was built was purchased by Davis Tillson in the late 1870s, and the barn is first listed on the tax rolls in 1886. (The house standing on the property nearby is a later structure not associated with the Tillsons.) Most of Maine&#39;s 19th-century agricultural barns have basically vernacular appearances, making this one particularly unusual for its elaborate decorative treatment.</p><br>
<p>Glimmerstone is a historic mansion house on Vermont Route 131, west of the village center of Cavendish, Vermont. Built 1844–47, it is a distinctive example of Gothic Revival architecture, built using a regional construction style called "snecked ashlar" out of locally quarried stone flecked with mica. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Glimmerstone stands on the north side of Vermont 131, about 0.5 mi west of Cavendishs village center. It is a two-story stone structure, with a roughly L-shaped plan and a cross-gable roof configuration. The street-facing front is divided into four sections, the rightmost one projecting with a hooded gable and bay windows on the both levels. The second bay has a three-sash window group, with a steeply pitched gable dormer above, and the main entrance is in the third bay, sheltered by a gabled porch. All of the buildings gables are decorated with jigsawn vergeboard, and upper-level windows set in gable dormers have Gothic-arched tops. Similar dormers and gables are found on the sides of the house, and a wood-frame ell extends the house further to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1844-47 for Henry Fullerton, manager of the Black River Manufacturing and Canal Company mill in Cavendish. The stone from which it was built was quarried about 0.25 mi away, and hauled to the site by sledge in winter for construction in warmer weather. The construction style consists of stone facing on either side of rubble fill, with slabs sometimes laid across the fill to provide strength. This construction method, known in southern Vermont as "snecked ashlar", is believed to have been brought to the area by Scottish immigrant masons. The house&#39;s design is by a local carpenter, Lucius Paige, and is based on designs published by Andrew Jackson Downing.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Stone Schoolhouse, also known as the Scott House, is a historic One-room schoolhouse located east of Vinton, Iowa, United States. Built in 1875, this is an unusual example of a stone one-room school. There was only one other built in Benton County, about 2 mi to the southeast. The stone schoolhouse was replaced by a wood-frame building to the south sometime between 1905 and 1910 to accommodate the large number of students. It served eight rural sections of farmland from the time. The Scott family, who owned the adjacent farmland, bought the stone school building after it closed and converted it into a house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Belle Plaine Main Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Belle Plaine, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The historic district covers most of the city&#39;s central business district. Belle Plaine was laid out in 1862 as a railroad town. The Chicago & North Western Railroad was extended from Cedar Rapids the following year. The commercial district is adjacent to the tracks. A major fire destroyed much of the business district in 1894. Thirty-five buildings in the district were built in the months after the fire.</p><br>
<p>Commercial buildings dominate the district. They include the Sankot Motor Company (c. 1910), which is individually listed on the National Register. Also included in the district are the Pythian Castle (1895), Masonic Temple (1895), Odd Fellows Building (1906), two theaters, the former Hart Memorial Library (1931), the Chicago & North Western Railroad Depot and Freight House (1894), and the section of the tracks adjacent to the depot. The period of significance is from 1885 to 1960, and the buildings are constructed during that time frame. The Classical Revival and the Early Commercial architectural styles are dominant. Architect-designed buildings include the First National Bank (Charles A. Dieman; 1921), and the Hart Memorial Library (Charles B. Zalesky). Both architects were from Cedar Rapids.</p><br>
<p>The Central Vinton Residential Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Vinton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Second Avenue retains its brick paving and it is the contributing structure. Vinton is the county seat of Benton County, and this is one of its most affluent neighborhoods. Because the town is a center of commerce and government, it started to grow in the mid-to-late-nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>Over 90% of the houses are frame construction, and the rest are brick. A large variety of popular late 19th- and early 20th-century architectural styles are represented in the district. They include: Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Second Empire, Italianate, Neoclassical, Tudor Revival, American Foursquare, Colonial Revival, American Craftsman and Bungalows. The houses were largely built before 1930, with a few built after World War II. Three churches are also included in the district: First Baptist (Neoclassical; 1915), Presbyterian Church of Vinton (Neoclassical; 1913), and Faith Independent Baptist (Gothic Revival, c. 1920).</p><br>
<p>St. Patrick&#39;s Farm is a historic barn and farm complex located in Clay Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. The barn was built about 1925, and is a large, "T"-plan, multi-story, high gambrel roofed frame building. It is sheathed in shiplap siding and has two attached wood silos with conical roofs. Also on the property are the contributing concrete silo, gas pump, windmill, pole barn, and a fenced lot.

<h2>The Hubbard family</h2><br>
<p>Haven Hubbard&#39;s grandfather was Jonathon Hubbard, who settled 320 acre of Terre Coupee prairie roughly 3 mile to the north-east of New Carlisle, Indiana that he had bought in 1836 from a Samuel Harwood.</p><br>
<p>He built the family homestead there, and with his son Ransom Hubbard enlarged it to roughly 704 acre.</p><br>
<p>Both Jonathon and Ransom had come from Oneida County, New York, where Ransom had been born in 1817.</p><br>
<p>Jonathon platted the town of "Hubbard Town" on the prairie, originally going to be named Terre Coupee town, which was later re-named the village of Hamilton.</p><br>
<p>Ransom&#39;s son Haven, by his wife Mary (née Mary Davis), was born on 1853-12-04; with Jonathon then dying in 1861.</p><br>
<p>Haven was educated at Notre Dame University and the University of Michigan and married Arminia Hoffman in 1909, who inherited the estate from him in 1916.</p><br>
<p>Arminia had come to the United States from Leipzig in 1891, where she had been born on 1865-05-09.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, finally furthering her late husbands wish during his lifetime to minister to the elderly, Arminia Hubbard deeded the farm to a local church, which built the Haven Hubbard Memorial Old Peoples Home in 1922 and formally dedicated it on 1923-05-05.</p><br>
<p>The Old People&#39;s Home remained a working farm, with residents encouraged to help with tending to crops, and comprised a chapel on the second floor, to be later remodelled in 1950 and named the Arminia Hubbard Memorial Chapel, administrative offices, sun parlours, a dining hall, guest rooms, and open-air verandahs.</p><br>
<p>Haven&#39;s elder brother was Lucius, born in 1844 and educated in the same places as Haven, who married a Martha Davis and in turn had a son Arthur Lucius Hubbard, who was to become a prominent banker and attorney in nearby South Bend, Indiana, forming a law partnership with Samuel Pettengill.</p><br>
<p>The Fulton Commercial Historic District is a national historic district located along 4th Street in downtown Fulton, Illinois. The district includes 31 contributing buildings as well as a war memorial and World War II gun; most of the buildings were historically used for commercial purposes. The earliest buildings in the district date to 1856, within the same decade as Fultons incorporation and the opening of its first railroad; the most recent, the citys fire station, was completed in 1956. The buildings completed prior to 1900, which make up roughly half of the district, primarily feature Italianate designs; noteworthy examples of the style include the Utz Block and the building at 1011-1013 4th Street. The district&#39;s 20th century buildings include examples of the Commercial, Classical Revival, and Modern styles.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 7, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. Davis Tillson House is a historic house at 157 Talbot Avenue in Rockland, Maine. Built in 1853, it is one of the region&#39;s finest examples of residential Gothic Revival architecture, and is unusual statewide for its execution in brick. It was built for Davis Tillson, a militia general during the American Civil War and a prominent local businessman, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Tillson House stands on the north side of Talbot Avenue, in a rural residential area west of downtown Rockland. It is stories in height, with a gabled roof, brick walls, and wooden trim. The gables are steep, in the Gothic Revival tradition, and the main end gables as well as dormer gables are decorated with jigsawn vergeboard. The front facade is six bays wide, with the right three in a projecting gabled section. Two of that gables bays are recessed, forming a porch with Gothic columns, and the gable edge extends to a crested railing above the first floor. Most windows are sash, with granite sills and lintels; windows near the gable peaks have Gothic-arched tops and granite sills.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1853, and is the only major example of the Gothic Revival in Rockland. The house was built for Brigadier General Davis Tillson, who led Maine volunteer militia in the American Civil War, seeing action at Cedar Mountain and elsewhere. Tillson was also a prominent local businessman, owning some of Rockland&#39;s lime manufactories, and building its large city wharf.</p><br>
<p>The USA Customhouse and Post Office is a historic federal government building in Waldoboro, Maine. Built 1855–57, it is a fine local example of civic Italianate architecture. For much of the 20th century it housed the Waldoboro Public Library. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Waldoboro Customhouse stands in downtown Waldoboro, on the north side of Main Street just west of the Waldo Theatre. It is a two-story brick building, with a hip roof and painted brick exterior. Its exterior is distinguished by the large round-arch openings housing the windows and doors, the metal balcony spanning much of the front facade, and the elaborate cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Waldoboro customs district was established in 1799 and abolished in 1913, and encompassed ports in both Knox and Lincoln Counties. Its original customhouse was a wood-frame structure, which was destroyed by fire in 1854. This building, its replacement, was built in 1855-57 to a design by Ammi B. Young the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department. It is one of Young&#39;s smaller designs, but highlights his emphasis on Italianate styling and the use of fire-resistant materials throughout. After the customs district was abolished, the building was adapted for use by the Waldoboro Public Library, in which role it served when the building was listed on the National Register in 1974. The library has since moved to new quarters elsewhere on Main Street. The old customhouse is now a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Atkinson Bridge is a historic structure located in Fort Atkinson, Iowa, United States. It spans the Turkey River for 183 ft. Pratt through truss bridges like its one were used almost exclusively in Iowa for medium spans from the early 1880s to 1913, when state bridge standards were enacted. This bridge was fabricated by the CRM Company, and constructed by D.H. Young of Manchester, Iowa. The 7-panel, pin-connected Pratt through truss is supported by a substructure of timber and concrete. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Bearnstow is a summer camp on Parker Pond in Mount Vernon, Maine. The camp offers weeklong and day programs for adults and children, with an emphasis on appreciation of nature through the arts and sciences. Founded in 1946, the camp occupies 65 acre on the east side of the pond, and is centered on the former Spruce Point Camps, whose facilities, built in the 1920s and 1930s, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>Bearnstow occupies 65 acres of mostly wooded landscape between Ithiel Gordon Road and the eastern shore of Parker Pond in westernmost Mount Vernon. The centerpiece of the camp is a 12 acre, where most of its infrastructure is located. Its facilities include a main lodge and dining hall near one another and the lakeshore, with camp cabins sprinkled through the woods along the shore to the north and south. Near the central facilities are rock ledges facing the water, and there is a beach further south. A small outdoor performance space is located inland near the main parking area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The core property was first developed as a private summer retreat around the turn of the 20th century, with the building that is now the main lodge already standing when the property was sold in 1906. It was developed as a summer sporting camp in the mid-1910s, with the construction of four cabins just south of the lodge. By 1922 additional cabins had been built, and the dining hall was also added about 1922. Later facilities include an employee cabin, wood shed, and toolhouse (by 1938) and the stable (1956). The outdoor performance space is an adaptive reuse of a level area that previously served as a tennis court.</p><br>
<p>The camp was opened in 1915 as a fishing camp by Charles Stevens, a carpenter from Fayette. He sold the property in 1922 to Webster Chester, a professor at Colby College, who operated the camp until 1938. It closed in 1940 for the duration of World War II, and was reopened under new ownership as Bearnstow in 1945.</p><br>
<p>The Lawrence Bridge is a historic structure located in Jackson Junction, Iowa, United States. It spans the Little Turkey River for 84 ft. This bridge was designed, fabricated and built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio for $2,519.35. This and the Upper Bluffton Bridge were built at the same time, and it marked the first time that Winneshiek County had longer-span trusses built at rural river crossings instead of the smaller bowstring truss bridges.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Bluffton Bridge was a historic structure located in Bluffton, Iowa, United States. It spanned the Upper Iowa River for 154 ft. This bridge was designed, fabricated and built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio for $2,831.23. This and the Lawrence Bridge were built at the same time, and it marked the first time that Winneshiek County had longer-span trusses built at rural river crossings instead of the smaller bowstring truss bridges. Plans at that time were to move the structure to the Millgrove Access Wildlife Area in Poweshiek County, Iowa. However, the move was not made and the structure was replaced with some parts of the original structure being repurposed on a bridge on the Trout Run Bike Trail around Decorah. A plaque was placed adjacent to the new structure in Bluffton commemorating the original structure.</p><br>
<p>The Goulds Mill Bridge is a historic Baltimore through truss bridge, carrying Paddock Street across the Black River in Springfield, Vermont. The bridge was built by the Boston Bridge Works Company in 1929 after major flooding in 1927, and is one of the states few examples of a Baltimore truss. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gould&#39;s Mill bridge stands in the village of Goulds Mill, south of the main village center of Springfield, and a short way west of the Eureka Schoolhouse. The bridge is a single-span steel Baltimore through truss structure, resting on concrete abutments. The span is 160 ft, with a roadway width of 23 ft and a portal clearance of 18 ft. The Baltimore truss is a variant of the Pratt truss in which extra vertical members are added to the lower sections of each panel. The bridge carries two lanes of traffic and the Toonerville Rail Trail, and was last rehabilitated in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1929, replacing a railroad bridge that was washed away in Vermont&#39;s devastating 1927 floods. The bridge has asymmetrical elements in its truss panels, due in part to its original use as a railroad bridge; this early use also mandated its skewed alignment across the river, to accommodate the rails of the Springfield Terminal Railway Company, whose route is now taken by the rail trail. It was also built for heavier loads than road bridges due to the weight of railroad engines and cargos. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 2006, it was one of two Baltimore trusses in use as a highway bridge in the state.</p><br>
