The main entrance is a later Victorian double door. The interior of the hall is a combination of Greek Revival and Late Victorian styles, the result of renovations and alterations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The interior has a small vestibule, with kitchen and ticket booth to one side, and stairs leading to a projection booth on the other. The main hall has an arched plaster ceiling, with a stage area occupying the easternmost fifth of the building.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1840 for the town by Ebenezer Cobb, a local builder. Originally designated by the town exclusively for civic uses, this rule was relaxed in 1845, and the hall saw a variety of uses over the next century. In addition to town meetings, it housed social events and theatrical performances, and was briefly used for religious services. In 1887 the stage was added, and it was fitted for showing movies in 1917. The town ceased using it for civic purposes in 1952, selling it to the local American Legion chapter. The American Legion continued to let the building for functions, but folded in 1972. Ownership returned to the town, which deeded it to the Union Historical Society, which continues to operate it as a social meeting venue.</p><br>

<h2>Cyrus Ball</h2><br>
<p>Lebanon, Ohio native Cyrus Ball (1804–1893) was the youngest of a family of six children — four boys and two girls. He worked on his family farm and, while still quite young, began teaching at a country school.</p><br>
<p>In 1825, Ball left the farm to begin studying law. He was admitted to the Ohio bar the following year, when he also moved west with his cousin, Justice Harlan. In the spring of 1827, he moved to Lafayette, Indiana, with merchandise stock purchased in Baltimore, Maryland, and he and one of his brothers started a general store. Eighteen months later, he had become the sole owner of the business.</p><br>
<p>In 1828, Ball was admitted to the bar in Indiana, and the following year he was elected Justice of the Peace, as which he served for five years.</p><br>
<p>He formed a dry goods business with James Hill and Peter S. Jennings. Hill died in 1837, at which point the firm became Ball & Jennings. Ball eventually sold the business to Jennings, and with the capital bought the property at the northwest corner of Third and Main Streets in Lafayette for $150.</p><br>
<p>Ball married Cornelia Smith, who died within three years of their wedlock. They had two children together (Cornelia and Margaret), but both died in infancy. He remarried in 1838, to Rebecca Gordon (1816–1900), of Philadelphia, with whom he had five children.</p><br>
<p>The Wabash and Erie Canal made Ball collector of tolls in 1840, and the following year he was appointed cashier at the Lafayette branch of the Bank of Indiana.</p><br>

<p>Decorah Woolen Mill, also known as the Meritol Building or Decorah Tire Service, is a historic building located in Decorah, Iowa, United States. The mill was originally constructed in 1867, and was operated by various owners in the years to come. They included the Decorah Glove and Mitten Works who operated in the building the same year, 1908, that it was struck by a tornado.

They made pharmaceuticals and patent medicines, and went bankrupt in 1932. Various other companies operated from here until 1955 when Decorah Tire Service took over. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. In 2017 it was included as a contributing property in the Decorah Commercial Historic District.</p><br>

Horn moved into Decorah and tried his hand in a variety of businesses. He had to file for bankruptcy and lost his house in a sheriff&#39;s sale. He relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota where he took up a law career.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>

<p>The Indian Stones are a pair of historic markers on Vermont Route 106 in Reading, Vermont. Erected in 1799 in commemoration of a 1754 Native American raid, they are the oldest commemorative markers in the state, and among the oldest in the United States. They were mounted in a single granite slab in 1918, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Indian Stones are located at a small roadside pullout in southern Reading, on the east side of Route 106 at its junction with Knapp Brook Road. A set of three granite steps lead up to a granite slab, in which two slate markers have been mounted. The marker is framed by low bushes, with trees lining the eastern edge of the pullout, and a state commemorative sign placed in the oval created by the pullout. The granite slab is incised with the following in the upper lefthand corner: "- In 1918 - These stones were placed in their / present Position by a Descendant of - Captain / James Johnson"-and Susannah; his Wife." Below that inscription is a slate stone with stepped shoulders, in which is carved "On the 31 st of August 1754, Capt James Johnson had / a Daughter born on this Spot of Ground, being / Captivated with his whole Family by the Indians." Depictions of various tools top the statement. To that stone&#39;s right is set the other slate slab, in which is carved the following inscription, accompanied by similar decoration: "This is near the Spot that the Indians Encamp^ / the Night after they took Mr Johnson 8 Family, / Mr Labarree & Farnsworth, August 30th 1754, and / Mrs Johnson was Delivered of her Child Half a mile up this Brook; // When troubles near the Lord is- kind, / He hears the Captives crys. / He can subdue the Savage mind, / And learn it sympathy."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On August 29, 1754, during the French and Indian War, a band of Native Americans made an attack on the Fort at Number 4 in Charlestown, New Hampshire, taking as captives members of the Johnson and Farnsworth families. On the second day of a forced march, Susannah Willard Johnson gave birth to Elizabeth Captive Johnson. All of the captives were eventually ransomed to French residents of Montreal and returned to their homes by 1760. Susannah Johnson returned to the place of her daughters birth on several occasions, and in 1796 published a captivity narrative describing the familys ordeal. In 1799, convinced she had found the correct location, she hired a stonecutter to create the two slate markers, with the intent that one was to be placed at the birthplace, and the other at the nearby Native encampment site.</p><br>
<p>The exact date of their placement is not documented, but was probably before Susannah Johnsons death in 1810. Susannah Johnsons instructions were not followed, and the two stones were placed side-by-side in a location not far from their present site. Descendants of Johnson in 1918 had the two stones mounted in the granite slab, and placed at the same site. The present location is near that location, created as a result of road improvements on Route 106 that required the memorial&#39;s relocation.</p><br>

It is located in a small public park at the junction of Main, Atlantic, and School Streets in Vinalhavens downtown area. Its wooden parts are a reproduction of original elements; its metal parts are original. The vehicle, a type used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the islands granite quarries, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Vinalhaven Galamander stands under a frame shelter in Bandstand Park, created by the intersection of Main, Atlantic, and School Streets in downtown Vinalhaven. Its frame consists of a single large wooden beam, with a fixed rear axle supported by two large spoked wheels. The front axle is mounted on a swivel to aid steering, and is supported by two small spoked wheels. The operator&#39;s seat is mounted at the center of the front axle, and a swiveling derrick is mounted on top of the rear axle. The vehicle would during operation have been drawn by a team of eight horses.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of this particular galamander is unknown, but it has long been a fixture of the towns landscape. These vehicles were in regular use during the heyday of Vinalhavens granite quarries, which extended from 1880 to the onset of World War I in 1914. It stood for many years, exposed to the elements, in Bandstand Park. Its wooden elements having deteriorated, the wagon was rebuilt by the local historical society using new wood and the original metal fittings, and has been placed under a protective shelter.</p><br>
<p>The only known surviving galamander with original wooden elements is the Robertson Quarry Galamander in Franklin, Maine.</p><br>

<p>The house was built about 1806 by Daniel Weston, whose father and uncle were among the first settlers of the Bremen area, arriving in 1772. Weston was, like his father, a shipbuilder, and the construction of this house exhibits some features peculiar to that specialized craft. Much of the woodwork is slightly curvilinear, and in the upper story, the ceilings have been curved inward to achieve greater height than is typically found in period houses.</p><br>
<p>The Tappan-Viles House is a historic house at 150 State Street in Augusta, Maine. Built in 1816 and restyled several times, the house exhibits an eclectic combination of Federal, Italianate, and Colonial Revival styles, the latter contributed by architect John Calvin Stevens. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982; it is now part of a bank complex.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Tappan-Viles House stands on the west side of State Street, a short way north of Augusta state capitol district. It is located on a parcel that now also includes attached modern facilities of the Kennebec Savings Bank. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof topped by a cupola, clapboarded walls, interior end chimneys, and a granite foundation.</p><br>
<p>The roof cornice is dentillated and studded with brackets, and the building corners are quoined. The front facade is five bays wide, with the central entrance sheltered by an elaborate porch supported by paired Corinthian columns. Windows on the first floor have decorative bracketed and dentillated cornices, while those on the second floor have simpler hoods. Above the main entrance is a Palladian window.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1816 by Rev. Benjamin Tappan, a Harvard College graduate who served as pastor at the South Parish Church. As built, it would have had modest Federal period trim.</p><br>
<p>In 1862, the house was acquired by Col. Alanson B. Farwell, who updated the house with the latest Italianate style, adding the bracketing, quoining, and cupola. Dr. William Graves, the next owner, in about 1915 hired the noted Portland architect John Calvin Stevens to design sympathetic Colonial Revival features. Another 20th-century owner was Blaine S. Viles, a mayor of Augusta and state forest commissioner. The building has since the late 20th century been used for commercial purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Iron Bridge at Howard Hill Road is a modern pony truss bridge, carrying Howard Hill Road across the Black River in southeastern Cavendish, Vermont. It is the replacement for a historic 1890 Pratt through truss bridge, which is now in storage. The historic bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Modern bridge</h2><br>
<p>The Howard Hill Road Bridge is located in southeastern Cavendish, just south of Vermont Route 131, which parallels the Black River on its northern bank. The river is at that point flowing roughly eastward, and the bridge is oriented north-south on modern concrete footings. The bridge is a low riveted pony truss structure, serving a few dead-end roads on the south side of the river.</p><br>
<h2>Historic bridge</h2><br>
<p>The historic bridge, in storage as of 2012, was a single-span Pratt through truss built out of wrought and cast iron with elements connected by pins. The bridge was 88 ft in length, with a roadway width of 14 ft (one lane), and a portal height of 11.5 ft. It was set on uncoursed fieldstone abutments.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1890 by the Groton Bridge Co., and is one of a small number of 19th-century pin-connected truss bridges in the state. The bridge was dismantled in 2007, and is in storage held by the Historic Bridges Program of the state, which is seeking a suitable location to place it.</p><br>

<p>Green Gables, also known as the Wells House, is a historic home at 1501 South Harbor City Boulevard in Melbourne, Florida, United States. The house fronts the Indian River. Local business man William T. Wells purchased the Strobah property and built the Green Gables in 1886 with his wife Nora Stanford Wells as a winter home.</p><br>
<p>Green Gables is an example of Queen Anne style architecture, and it is believed to be the first home in the area with indoor plumbing and an indoor bathroom.</p><br>
<p>Green Gables was scheduled for demolition in 2015, but a group of local historians and community volunteers are working with the owners, fourth generation family members, to save the house due to its historical significance to the area. The community needed $500,000 to salvage the house as of April 2020. In July 2022 Green Gables was awarded a $500,000 Special Category Grant from the Division of Historic Resources from the State of Florida. On June 12, 2023, Ownership of Green Gables was transferred to the non-profit organization of Green Gables at Historic Riverview Village.</p><br>

<p>The Vinalhaven Public Library is the public library serving the island community of Vinalhaven, Maine. It is located at 6 Carver Street in downtown Vinalhaven, in a small architecturally distinguished Prairie School building built in 1906 with financial support from Andrew Carnegie. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Vinalhaven Public Library stands near the eastern end of Vinalhavens commercial downtown area, at the junction of Carver, Chestnut, and Main Streets. The building is a single-story structure, built out of quarry-faced granite and covered by a hip roof. The roof has extended eaves with exposed rafters, with a chimney rising near the left wall. The main entrance is in the center of the facade facing Carver Street, recessed under a round arch in a projecting section topped by a flat parapet. A high stringcourse runs beneath a narrow band of square windows on either side of the entrance. The interior has a central librarians desk with flanking reading rooms, and original wooden shelving on the walls.</p><br>
<p>Vinalhavens public library originated in 1887, when Governor Joseph R. Bodwell, owner of one of Vinalhavens granite quarries, made a pledge to provide space for a library if funds were raised to establish one. A private circulating library was added to this early collection in 1890, and was established in Vinalhaven&#39;s Memorial Hall in 1895. The present building was constructed in 1906, funded in part by a grant from Andrew Carnegie. It was designed by the firm of George A. Clough and Herbert L. Wardner, and is the only Prairie School library design in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Jeffrey House is a historic house on North Street in Chester, Vermont. Built in 1797, it is one of Vermonts small number of surviving Georgian style houses. It was built by the son of one of the areas early settlers, and originally served as a tavern. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jeffrey House stands just north of Chester&#39;s Stone Village, set back about 200 ft from the east side of Vermont Route 103. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and wooden shingle siding. It is set in the side of a shallow hill, and its basement, partly rubblestone but finished on the west side in brick, is entirely exposed on the front facade. It is covered by a hip roof, with two interior chimneys. The front facade is five bays wide, with a former entrance at the center of the basement level (now boarded over) flanked by sidelights. Windows in the outer bays are sash, with simple surrounds, while the windows above the entrance are Palladian three-part windows with rounded centers. The interior follows a typical Georgian central hall pattern, with a center hall flanked by two rooms on each side on the ground floor. It varies from the pattern with a large ballroom extending in front of the chimneys on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1797 by Jabez Sargent Jr., whose father was one of Chesters first settlers. Chester was incorporated as New Flamsted in 1763, and was in 1766 designated the county seat of Cumberland County, New York (Vermont then being disputed territory between the Province of New York and the Province of New Hampshire). Local oral tradition holds that the house is built on the site of the countys first courthouse and jail. The house originally served as a tavern, situated on one of the major routes between Boston and Montreal. It is one of Vermont&#39;s few Georgian buildings, a style that was at the time of its construction already fading in fashion. Although it is built to a large size (befitting its use as a tavern), it lacks many of the high-style features often found in large Georgian houses.</p><br>

<p>The Moses Webster House is a historic house at 14 Atlantic Avenue in Vinalhaven, Maine. It was built in 1873 for Moses Webster, owner of one of Vinalhavens granite quarries, and is one of the communitys finest examples of Second Empire architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Moses Webster House stands on the east side of Vinalhaven&#39;s downtown area, at the northeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and Frog Hollow Road. It is a large -story wood-frame structure, with a mansard roof, clapboarded walls, and a granite foundation. Its front facade is six bays wide, with a projecting two-bay section on the left side, capped by a three-story mansarded tower. The leftmost bay has a two-story polygonal window bay with a gabled top and bracketed cornices, while a single-story porch extends across the right four bays and wraps around to the right side. It is supported by chamfered square posts and has a low balustrade. Second-floor windows rise through the lower portion of the mansard roof as wall dormers, and are topped by bracketed and pedimented gables.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1873 for Moses Webster, who was, along with Joseph R. Bodwell, a leading figure in Vinalhavens highly successful late 19th-century granite industry. The two men, both New Hampshire natives, came to Vinalhaven in 1851, and began the expansion of its previously small-scale granite quarries, eventually providing stone for major buildings along the Atlantic coast. The Bodwell Granite Company, of which Webster was president and co-owner, dominated the islands economy into the early 20th century. The house served as a bed and breakfast inn in the early 2010s, and was listed for sale in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Whitefield Union Hall is a historic social venue at 901 Townhouse Road in the Kings Mill village of Whitefield, Maine. Built in 1900 by the local Grange chapter and the Whitefield Fish and Game Club, it has served for more than a century as a major social meeting point. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitefield Union Hall stands on the west side of Townhouse Road, a short way north of its junction with Pittston Road (Maine State Route 194). The small village in which it stands is largely unaltered, having only lost a mill complex (and major local source of jobs) to a hurricane in 1954. The building is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with Victorian styling. It is basically L-shaped, with a rectangular main block from which a recessed ell projects to the right. The exterior of the main block is finished in wooden clapboards on the first floor, and with fish-scale shingles above, while the ell is finished in clapboards. The main entrance is at the center of the three-bay facade, flanked by windows that have modest projecting cornices. Similar windows are on the second floor, and there is in the gable end a double window topped by a gabled cornice. The interior of the hall is divided into function spaces, with a dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, and an auditorium with stage on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1900, primarily under the auspices of the Whitefield Fish and Game Club, but with design input from the local Grange chapter, which contributed funds to its construction and was also a major tenant. It was until 1919 the only public hall with a stage in southern Whitefield, playing host to dances, meetings of fraternal and social organizations, and other community events. The hall was managed by an association of the two organizations until 1947, and by the Fish and Game Club after the Grange chapter merged with another in 1969. The club closed down in 1974, and the hall is now managed by a union consortium of village community groups.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph H. Underwood House is a historic house at 1957 Main Street in Fayette, Maine. Built in 1837, this large brick house was built for Joseph H. Underwood, one of the small community&#39;s leading businessmen and politicians of the first half of the 19th century. Underwood owned a mill and other local business, and served in town offices and the state legislature. His house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Joseph H. Underwood House stands on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 17) at its junction with North Wayne Street, in what is now a quiet and dispersed rural village. It is a -story brick structure, with a gable roof and end chimneys, and a single-story ell extending northward from the rear. The walls consist of brick laid in running bond, while the gable ends are framed in wood and finished in vinyl siding. The front facade is five bays wide, with the openings framed by granite sills and lintels. Windows are six-over-six sash, while the centered entrance has flanking sidelights and a wide multilight transom above. The front yard is handsomely landscaped, with a semicircular drive, and stone steps leading from the street to the drive in front of the house.</p><br>
<p>Joseph Underwood was born in New Hampshire, and moved to Fayette about 1807, where he soon afterward purchased the local general store. He reportedly owned the store for 55 years, expanding his business interests to include real estate and agriculture. He was one of the first people documented to breed Hereford cattle in the state, and was at his death in 1867 by far the wealthiest man in the small community. Underwood also served as a town selectman, and in the state legislature. This house, one of three he occupied in the town, was built for him in 1837.</p><br>
<p>The Jericho Rural Historic District encompasses a rural agricultural landscape of northern Hartford, Vermont, extending slightly into neighboring Norwich. The area covers 774 acre of mainly agricultural and formerly agricultural lands, as well as associated woodlots, and includes nine historically significant farm complexes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jericho Street area is a rural upland, roughly bounded on the south by the White River and the east by the flood plains of the Connecticut River. To the west it is roughly bounded by Jericho Brook, and the north by the east–west town line between Norwich and Hartford, except for one associated farm complex just over the line on Joshua Street. The area is served by roads whose routes were laid out in the late 19th century, when the area was first settled. Jericho Street runs north–south through the district, turning eastward near the northern end, with Wallace and Sugartop Roads running westward, and Jericho Road eastward. All but two of the historic farm complexes are found along Jericho Street; in addition to the one on Joshua, another is located on the west side of Sugartop, just south of the Norwich line. The distribution of wooded and open areas is relatively unchanged since about 1940.</p><br>
<p>The town of Hartford was first settled in the 1760s, with its early settlements along the Connecticut River. The Jericho Hill area was settled beginning in 1781, and the last of its historic farmsteads was built in 1841. All of the early farmsteads were simple Cape style houses, and were soon accompanied by agricultural outbuildings. The Jericho Hill area contains a remarkable set of contiguous historic farm properties, in which a relatively large number of outbuildings have survived, although not always in the best of condition. The district also includes a district schoolhouse, built in 1849, which still stands near the junction of Jericho Street and Jericho Road, and functions now as a local community center.</p><br>
<p>Morton School is a historic school building located at West Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. It was built in 1930, and is a two-story, E-shaped, Tudor Revival style brick and limestone building. It has a flat roof and features a triple-arched main entrance and stepped parapet. It housed a school into the mid-1980s, after which it has been used as a community centre.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Wharf House is a historic house in the village of North Haven, Maine. Located on a wharf at the waterfront, it is an idiosyncratic expression of Shingle style architecture, built as a canning factory and adapted for residential use in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wharf House stands facing the Fox Islands Thorofare on the south side of North Haven Island, at the tip of a point just east of the island community&#39;s main dock and harbor area. It is a long rectangular wood-frame structure, built partly on land and partly on a series of granite piers projecting roughly south from the point. It is surrounded by a wooden deck, which is extended as a dock further to the south. The water-facing end of the building sports a curved porch with decorative turned posts and balustrades on the upper level, and large curved brackets below, making it resemble the poop deck of sailing galleons of the 16th and 17th centuries; this porch extends partway along the long sides. The building is clad in wooden shingles, and is topped by a gabled roof occasionally punctured by eyebrow dormers. The interior is largely finished in tongue-and-groove woodwork, with exposed beams in the ceilings.</p><br>
<p>According to local historians, the property was first developed in 1880, when Lewis MacDonald built a fish processing and canning facility. It was serving as a sail loft when it was purchased in 1897 by John Reynolds, Jr. In 1912, Reynolds had the existing building renovated (in a design attributed by the family to H. Deland Chandler) into its present form. It is one of the state&#39;s most unusual examples of an adaptive creation of a summer residence.</p><br>
<p>The Wiscasset Historic District is a 101 acre historic district that encompasses substantially all of the central village of Wiscasset, Maine. The district includes at least 22 contributing buildings and two other contributing sites, one being a cemetery whose oldest stone is from 1739. Located on the west bank of the Sheepscot River and settled in the 18th century, Wiscasset was a prominent harbor in Mid Coast Maine, and a major shipbuilding and merchant port, until the War of 1812 ended its prosperity. The village center includes fine examples of Federal period architecture, most built between about 1780 and 1820, including one National Historic Landmark, the Nickels-Sortwell House. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Wiscasset is located on the western bank of the Sheepscot River, at a wide point above the northern tip of Westport island, which the river passes on both sides en route to the Gulf of Maine. It is thus afforded with a deep and sheltered harbor area. Wiscasset was first settled by Europeans in the 1670s, but conflict with the local Native Americans (sometimes with French assistance) prevented significant permanent settlement until the 1760s. Incorporated as part of Pownalborough in 1760, it was incorporated as Wiscasset in 1794 when Pownalborough was split into Dresden, Alna, and Perkins. Wiscasset then also became the shire town of Lincoln County. It flourished as a shipbuilding and commercial center until the Embargo Act of 1807 damaged its economy, and the War of 1812 wrecked it. The towns economy has since been a shadow of that periods success, and development stalled, only sometimes punctuated by fires, which were mainly restricted to its waterfront areas.</p><br>
<p>During the height of its economic success, a significant amount of fairly high-style Federal architecture was built. Prominent examples are found along some of its residential streets, as well as United States Route 1, the main east-west route through the village, where the National Historic Landmark Nickels-Sortwell House stands. This house, built in 1805, is one of nations finest examples of Federal architecture. Other prominent buildings include the public library, located in an 1805 brick mansion, and the former Wiscasset Academy building, built in 1807 and now housing an art gallery. The district also includes a few examples of later architecture, including the octagonal Capt. George Scott House on Federal Street. The Wiscasset Jail and Museum, built in 1809, is one of the states oldest surviving jails, and is (like the Nickels-Sortwell House) a museum open to the public.</p><br>

<p>Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead is located south of downtown Hallowell on a property overlooking the Kennebec River, that is bounded on the north by Litchfield Road, the west by Interstate 95, the south by public lands containing regional schools, and the east by Greenville Street and small residential roads. The property covers nearly 200 acre, much of it woodland. The northern third is separated from the south by Vaughan Brook, which flows east from Cascade Pond (on the property) to the Kennebec River. It is in this area that the Homestead and outbuildings are located. The house is a large and rambling structure, two stories in height. The original main block is the southernmost portion, except for a covered porch extending across its southeastern face. To the northwest of this block there are a series of ells, also mostly of 19th-century origin, one of which is in a distinctive octagon shape. The house is surrounded by terraced landscaping. To the south and west of the house are woods, with hiking trails offering scenic views and access to historic uses of the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was part of the once-large holdings of Benjamin Hallowell, one of the Kennebec Proprietors and the namesake of the city. Hallowell&#39;s daughter Sarah married Samuel Vaughan, son of a London merchant, and their two sons, Charles and Benjamin, moved to Hallowell in 1791 and 1797, respectively. Charles had the main portion of this house built in 1794 as a summer cottage, but when Benjamin and his family arrived from England in 1797, they turned it into their year-round home. Benjamin Vaughan was a merchant and diplomat, playing a critical role in negotiations ending the American Revolutionary War. Both Vaughans were active in the promotion of business and the economic development of Hallowell.</p><br>
<p>By the late 19th century, a significant portion of the Vaughan estate had been sold off and cleared of trees. Vaughan descendants William and Benjamin Vaughan began in 1890 to repurchase portions of the estate and restore the woodlands. The present property is largely a product of their efforts. William&#39;s heirs donated a conservation easement to the Kennebec Land Trust in 1991, and the property was eventually taken over by a non-profit organization founded in 2002.</p><br>
