<p>The Gen. Lewis R. Morris House is a historic house and farm property at 456 Old Connecticut River Road in Springfield, Vermont. Its main house, built in 1795, is well-preserved local example of Federal architecture with later Greek Revival features. The property also includes well-preserved 19th-century agricultural buildings, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Morris House stands overlooking the Connecticut River in eastern Springfield, its informally landscaped lot separated from the river bank by Old Connecticut River Road, historically the main route along the river&#39;s west bank (since replaced by United States Route 5, which passes west of the farm property). The main house is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The east-facing front facade is five bays across, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a half-round transom window and gabled pediment. The building corners have narrow pilasters, rising to a dentillated cornice. The interior follows a typical Georgian central hall plan, with much original Federal period woodwork augmented by Greek Revival touches. The farm complex also includes 19th-century carriage and stock barns, and a large corn crib.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1795 for Lewis R. Morris, one of Springfields early settlers and a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. The Morrises had extensive landholdings, some of which were confiscated due to the support of Morriss father Richard for the claims of New York for the territory that is now Vermont. Morris descendants owned the property until the late 19th century, when Leonidas Barry acquired it; he is responsible for a number of alterations to the house and the construction of several of the surviving outbuildings. Some of his alterations, notably the lengthening of its window bays, have been reversed by subsequent owners, in order to restore the building closer to its original appearance.</p><br>

<p>Bridge 22, also known as the Creamery Bridge is a historic pony truss bridge, carrying Old Creamery Road across the Waits River in Bradford, Vermont. Built in 1934, it is well-preserved late example of a bridge style then passing out of fashion. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bridge 22 is located at the southern end of Bradford village, where Old Creamery Road runs generally south to connect that end of the village to Vermont Route 25. The Waits River at that point flows generally northward before turning east to empty into the Connecticut River. The bridge is a single-span Warren pony truss, 105 ft in length. It has a total width of 17 ft, and a roadway width of 16 ft. The deck, made of metal panels paved over in asphalt, is supported by I-beams. A water utility pipe is attached to the southern truss.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1934, its trusses manufactured by the American Bridge Company at its plant in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. Although the Warren pony truss was a common bridge type in Vermont into the 1920s, changing manufacturing techniques and standardization of bridge types by the state meant that its use was in decline in the state when this bridge was built. It replaced a wooden bridge at the same location, and the truss form was probably selected due to the impracticality of designs for this location that required the supporting elements to be beneath the bridge deck. Some of the labor for the bridge&#39;s construction may have been given by townspeople in lieu of property tax payments.</p><br>

<p>The Witherill Farm is a historic farm property on Witherill Road in Shoreham, Vermont. With a history dating to the late 18th century, the farm was for two centuries managed by generations of the same family, and was a noted early exporter of merino sheep to South Africa. Most of the farmstead buildings were built before 1850. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Witherill Farm is located in central western Shoreham, and is roughly bisected by Witherill Road, a town road extending westward from Vermont Route 74. The farmstead consists of four buildings, two on either side of the road. To the north stands what was originally a small blacksmith shop, a -story gabled wood-frame structure that recently served as a garage, but has seen a variety of uses over time. East of it stands the main farmhouse, an 1857 Greek Revival structure two stories in height and three bays wide, with a wraparound single-story porch. Across the street stand two barns: a c. 1820 sheep barn, and an 1809 apple packing barn. Both have rubblestone foundations and timber framing, with clapboard walls. At the time of the propertys National Register operation, most of the farms 117 acre were in agricultural use as an apple orchard.</p><br>
<p>The farms history dates to 1785, when Ebenezer Turrill purchased the land from one of Shorehams original proprietors. His first house, built in 1790, stood about 10 ft from the present farmhouse, which was built in 1857. The farm has been worked by successive generations of Turrill&#39;s descendants. Originally a diversified farm producing a variety of products, it was specialized into merino sheep farming in the late 19th century, with its sheep being among early exports to South America and South Africa, its operators making several trips to the latter area to further this trade. The Witherills were among the first in the area to produce apples for commercial distribution, acting as founding members of a local cooperative established for the purpose. As of 1993, the farm continued to be worked by the Witherills.</p><br>
<p>The Brock Hill Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse on North Road in rural Newbury, Vermont. Built in 1850, it is a well-preserved example of a mid-19th century schoolhouse with Greek Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brock Hill Schoolhouse stands in a rural area of western Newbury, on the west side of North Road. It is a modest single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled cedar shingle roof, clapboard siding, and a modern concrete foundation which replaced an original fieldstone foundation. The main facade is unadorned except for a central entrance and a flagpole, mounted above the entrance. The sides and rear each have two window bays. The interior has a small coatroom, which is separated from the class room by a reproduction of an original divider wall. The interior walls are all finished in beadboard with a chair rail, painted in latex paint. A 19th-century wood stove stands in the center of the classroom.</p><br>
<p>The school was built sometime between 1802 and 1818, and served Newburys District 8. Its name derives from its presence near the farm of Thomas Brock at the time of its initial construction; the land for the school was given by E.S. Brock when the school was rebuilt into its present shape in 1850. The school served the rural upland areas students until 1913. The school was apparently abandoned for a time, and was sold by the school district in 1960, seeing uses that may have included a hunting lodge. At one time it was fitted with plumbing and electricity, but these changes have been reversed. Adjacent to the schoolhouse is a surviving 19th-century privy and woodshed structure; both were the subject of restoration in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>The Pella Opera House is a historic building located in Pella, Iowa, United States. Herman Rietveld, a local businessman and promoter, was the main backer for building the opera house, which was underwritten by the Pella Opera House Association. A previous opera house had been destroyed in a fire in the late 19th century. Pella architect Henry DeGooyer designed the four story, brick Romanesque Revival structure. He used the opera house in Sioux City, Iowa, as his guide. The locally produced orange-colored bricks are said to be distinctive to Pella.</p><br>
<p>The opera house opened in November 1900 and regularly served its intended purpose for only a few years. After that it sporadically hosted stage performances until 1918. The building was converted into a commercial building at that time. It continued to serve that purpose until the 1980s when the Pella Opera House Commission acquired the property and converted back into a live entertainment venue. A Des Moines architect, Lawrence M. Erickson, was architect for the rehabilitation project, completed in 1990. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>

<p>East Amsterdam School is a historic building located southwest of Pella, Iowa, United States. The Wabash Railroad began construction of its line through this area in 1882. The route split the Independent School District of Amsterdam in two, and it required that its only school building be torn down. They decided to build two school buildings, East Amsterdam School and West Amsterdam School, so the districts children would not have to cross the tracks. The west building is no longer extant. The East Amsterdam School was in use from 1882 to 1960 when it was closed by the Pella Community School District, with which it had merged in 1958. It is now a museum operated by the Pella Historical Society. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The single-story, one-room, frame structure was completed in 1882 by Bootsma, Teunis & Co. The open porch was added in 1905, and the lean-to was built around 1942. There are two privies that sit 70 ft behind the school building. It is unknown when they were built, but they were extant when the school closed in 1960. They are not part of the historic designation.</p><br>
<p>The Adair Viaduct is a historic structure located in Adair, Iowa, United States. It spans the Iowa Interstate Railroad tracks for 192 ft. In 1908 Adair County built the first bridge at this location over the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad tracks near the site of the 1873 Jesse James train robbery. Increased traffic by the 1920s necessitated its replacement. The Iowa State Highway Commission designed the three-span open spandrel arch bridge. The Adair County Board of Supervisors awarded the $42,263 to build the bridge to the Federal Bridge Company of Des Moines. It is somewhat unusual in Iowa in that the bridge is not symmetrical. Because it is located over a deep cut the two approach spans at 56 ft each are shorter than the main span, which is 80 ft. The bridge was opened to traffic in June 1924. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Winthrop Mills Company is a historic textile mill complex at 149-151 Main Street in Winthrop, Maine. Developed mainly between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, it was the nation&#39;s largest manufacturer of woolen blankets for many years, and a major local employer for about 150 years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and History</h2><br>
<p>The former Winthrop Mills Company complex is located in the town center of Winthrop, on the banks of Maranacook Stream, between the Maranacook and Anabessacook Lakes. The complex includes five buildings, as well as a power canal and dam that first went into operation in 1866. Four of the five buildings are of brick construction, between three and five stories in height, with later additions of various sizes and materials. These buildings were built using slow-burning construction methods typically used for mill construction of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The mill office building is a single-story brick structure located near Main Street.</p><br>
<p>Textile production began in Winthrop in the early 19th century, with the construction of a woolen and cotton mill in 1814. The Winthrop Mills Company was founded in 1866 by investors from Boston, Massachusetts, and operated on this site until 1938, when the business was purchased by the Wilton Woolen Company. It continued to operate under the Winthrop Mills name, producing both cotton and wool products until 1954. It was then sold, and operated as the Carleton Woolen Company, producing exclusively woolens until 2002, when it closed. It was one of the last woolen mills to operate in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Wilcox-Cutts House is a historic house on Vermont Route 22A in Orwell, Vermont, USA. Its oldest portions date to 1789, but it is regarded as one of Vermont&#39;s finest examples of late Greek Revival architecture, the result of a major transformation in 1843. The house and accompanying farmland, also significant in the development of Morgan horse breeding in the state, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wilcox-Cutts House stands in a rural area of central-southern Orwell, on the east side of Vermont Route 22A just south of Sanford Brook. The house is set on a farm property in excess of 250 acre which the road roughly bisects. The house is set back about 200 ft from the road on a terraced rise with woods behind. It is an L-shaped -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main portion of the house has a Greek temple front, with five Ionic columns supporting a pedimented gable. Greek Revival detailing extends to single-story flanking wings, with the northern one acting as a connector to the rear ell, which is the original 18th-century farmhouse. The interior of the main block has high quality Greek Revival woodwork and plaster detailing.</p><br>
<p>The house now forming the rear of the house was built in 1789 by William Holenbeck, one of Orwells first permanent settlers. The house was purchased in 1800 by Ebenezer Wilcox, who enlarged it slightly (with an ell to the east) in 1819. Wilcoxs son Lucius had the large Greek Revival front section added in 1843, retaining the services of the James Lamb, a regionally known master builder from Shoreham. The building is a remarkably sophisticated and high-style example of the Greek Revival for a rural setting, and has been twice copied: once for a house in Castleton, and again for a reduced-scale replica at the Shelburne Museum. Linus Wilcox was one of the first breeders of merino sheep in the state. In 1872, the property was acquired by Henry Cutts, who was one of the nation&#39;s leading breeders of the Morgan horse.</p><br>
<p>The Governor Shirley Square Historic District encompasses a cluster of civic, residential, and religious buildings at the junction of Dudley, Hampden, and Dunmore Streets in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Named for colonial governor William Shirley in 1913, the square was developed in the 1870s and 1880s as a major locus of civic development after the city of Roxbury was annexed to Boston in 1868. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Governor Shirley Square is an X-shaped intersection located southeast of Nubian Square (formerly Dudley Square), at the junction of Dunmore and Hampden Streets with Dudley Street, an arterial roadway through Bostons Roxbury neighborhood. Facing this intersection, and arrayed along the southward block of Dudley Street, are six buildings that make up the historic district. All are masonry structures, built in the 19th century between 1872 and 1896. The most visually striking is the 1873 St. Patricks Roman Catholic Church, built of red brick in the Gothic Revival style. Also facing the square are two mixed commercial-residential apartment blocks on the west side of Dudley Street (built in the 1890s), and the c. 1880 McDermott Block, a five-section building that is in mixed residential and commercial use. Further south on Dudley Street stand two municipal buildings: the 1872 Second Empire-styled Roxbury District 9 police station, and an 1874 fire station.</p><br>
<p>Before the 1840s, the area that is now Governor Shirley Square was largely undeveloped farmland. Development nearby began to its west, where Mount Pleasant area was developed between then and the 1860s. In 1860, a horse-drawn streetcar line was extended down what is now Dudley Street from the then-Dudley Square area, and development expanded into this area. In 1868 the city of Boston annexed Roxbury, and proceeded to make municipal improvements near the square, building the police and fire stations. The growing Catholic population of the area also prompted the construction of St. Patricks. The intersection was formally dedicated in honor of colonial governor William Shirley in 1913. (Shirleys mansion, a National Historic Landmark, is located several blocks south of this intersection.)</p><br>
<p>Anderson–Thompson House, also known as Thompson–Schultz House, is a historic home located in Franklin Township, Marion County, Indiana. It was built between about 1855 and 1860, and is a -story, ell shaped, Gothic Revival style dwelling. It rests on a low brick foundation, has a steeply-pitched gable roof with ornately carved brackets, and is sheathed in board and batten siding.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 3589 in Silver Creek Township, Minnesota is a reinforced concrete arch bridge carrying Minnesota State Highway 61 over the Stewart River just north of Two Harbors, Minnesota. The bridge was built in 1924, originally with a 70 ft span and a width of 19 ft. It was widened to 39 ft in 1939 because of increasing traffic loads. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The state of Minnesota, in 1921, established a trunk highway system. Trunk Highway 1 was one of the longest routes, starting on the border of Iowa and going through Albert Lea, Minneapolis, Duluth, Two Harbors, and Grand Portage before ending at the border with Canada. The portion of Highway 1 along Lake Superior was exceptionally scenic, located on a rocky ledge cut by cascading streams. A travel writer in the 1920s wrote this about the highway: Beyond argument, the drive on this northern shore of Lake Superior between Duluth and Port Arthur is a natural classic. This is the land of the sky-blue water and the cathedral red rocks, where the prophetic Indian voice of Gitchie Manitou booms to the joyous loneliness amid the million sea gulls flying like snow. A most satisfying road clings to the shore, now streaming with light, now cut through somber jungle of blue-black trees.</p><br>
<p>The rock-rimmed river gorges were more economically bridged with concrete arch bridges, since the footings could be formed directly from the exposed bedrock. The bridge is notable for its Classical Revival detailing. Usually, the Minnesota Highway Department devoted more detailing to urban bridges than rural bridges, but the scenic location on a popular tourist route lent itself to a more architecturally-detailed approach. As a result, the bridge was designed with open-balustrade railings, an emphatic archivolt, and monumental pilasters with recessed panels accented by contrasting concrete finishes. The original bridge was finished in 1924. By 1934, so many travelers were using the highway that the highway department proposed widening the bridge. Funds were not available until 1939, at which point the bridge was widened. The cost of widening the bridge was $12,793, and the widening respected the bridge&#39;s original design.</p><br>
<p>The Little Mark Island Monument is a historic day beacon and shipwreck refuge on Little Mark Island in northern Casco Bay off the southern coast of the United States state of Maine. The monument, a pyramidal stone structure built in 1827, is one of only three such structures ever built in the state, and is now topped by a beacon light. It is owned and managed by the United States Coast Guard, and is an active aid to navigation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Little Mark Island is an island about 1 acre in size, and is located in northern Casco Bay, south of Haskell Island and west of the southern tip of Bailey Island. The island is roughly lozenge-shaped, and is devoid of trees. Its high point, near the center, rises to about 40 ft above mean sea level, and is where the monument is located. The monument is a stone structure in the shape of a slender square pyramid, with a total height of 50 ft and walls that are 18 ft long at the base and 4 ft at the top. It appears to have been built from rock quarried on the island. The monument is marked with vertical black stripes on each face. A steel ladder is mounted on the south side, and the west side has an open entrance into the structure&#39;s interior. The interior consists of an open chamber which rises to the top of the monument, and was probably originally open at the top, intended to act as a chimney flue. The top has since been closed off by a concrete cap. The only fixtures in the interior are a box housing equipment for operating the marine beacon mounted on top of the concrete cap. The beacon is powered by batteries, which are recharged by solar panels mounted on a concrete pad just outside the monument.</p><br>
<p>The monument was built in 1827, and was a functional replica of a similar structure built in 1811 at Cape Elizabeth, a location now occupied by the Cape Elizabeth Lights. A similar monument was built on Stage Island in 1823 off Biddeford, which also serves today as an aid to navigation. When built, the interior would have been stocked with supplies usable by shipwreck victims who might seek refuge on the island. The light was installed on the tower in 1927. It is a white light, flashing for 0.4 seconds once every four seconds.</p><br>
<p>The Brookfield Village Historic District encompasses the 19th-century village center of Brookfield, Vermont. Arrayed on the eastern shore of Sunset Lake, it includes well-preserved examples of Greek Revival architecture, and is best known for the Sunset Lake Floating Bridge, a pontoon bridge that provides access to the village from the west. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Brookfield was chartered in 1781, and developed along Ridge Road, which was in the 19th century a major north-south stagecoach route, connecting Montpelier and Randolph. The town arose on the eastern shore of Sunset Pond (originally known as Colt&#39;s Pond), which was in 1812 spanned by the first incarnation of the Sunset Lake Floating Bridge, the only known pontoon bridge in the eastern United States. The village center has lost little of its 19th-century charm, retaining unpaved main roads and tall shade trees.</p><br>
<p>The historic district covers 450 acre, extending along the east side of Sunset Lake as far south as the First Congregational Church, and more than half a mile north of the floating bridge. It extends westward across the lake and all the way to the Interstate 89 right of way, thus including a portion of the village&#39;s rural views. The developed area of the district extends along Ridge Road and Shore Road, with mostly modestly scaled residences that have vernacular Greek Revival styling. Prominent public buildings include the church (built 1843) and the former town hall, a three-story mid-19th century building that has housed a variety of municipal functions and community organizations throughout its history. Near the southern end of the village are remnants of a modest 19th-century industrial enterprise, a fork factory powered by the waters of Sunset Brook, which exits the lake near its southern end.</p><br>
<p>The Ottauquechee River Bridge is a steel girder bridge carrying United States Route 5 across the Ottauquechee River in Hartland, Vermont. The bridge replaced a c. 1930 Warren deck truss bridge, built in the wake of Vermont&#39;s devastating 1927 floods, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The bridge is located in a rural section of northern Hartland, spanning the Ottauquechee River a short way downstream from the North Hartland Dam. United States Route 5 is a major roadway providing local access along the Connecticut River, and is roughly paralleled by Interstate 91 to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Historic bridge</h2><br>
<p>The 1930 bridge was a four-span structure, mounted on concrete piers and abutments. The piers had rusticated and rounded ends, and the northernmost pier had an arch set between the I-beam spans. It was 274 ft long, with three approach spans consisting of steel I-beam construction, and a main span consisting of Warren trusses 120 ft in length. The guard rail consisted of T-shaped stanchions joined by a decorative metal latticework. The bridge was one of 1,600 built by the state after the 1927 floods, and was one of just four Warren deck truss structures built at the time. When the bridge was listed on the National Register in 1990, a nearly identical bridge stood in Bethel, spanning a branch of the White River.</p><br>
<p>The District No. 5 School is an historic school building and local history museum at 311 East Road in Petersham, Massachusetts. It is one of two relatively unmodified one-room schoolhouses in the town that were built in 1849. It is presently managed by the local historical society as a local history museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The District No. 5 School is located in a rural area of eastern Petersham, on the northeast side of East Road just south of its junction with Harty Lane. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, clapboarded exterior, and a stone foundation. The street-facing facade houses a single door, which provides access to the building. The side walls each have two windows. Trim consists of simple pilasters at the corners, and an entry surround with pilasters, transom window, and paneled entablature. The interior of the school has a vestibule area, which then opens into the classroom. The wall separating the spaces is vertical tongue-and-groove, with an original Federal-period door. The classroom walls are finished in vertical tongue-and-groove wainscoting, with plaster above. Floors appear to be original planking, and the original desks occupy much of the space.</p><br>
<p>The town of Petersham, incorporated in 1754, established a district school system consisting of thirteen districts. The present district 5 schoolhouse was built in 1849, and is one three school buildings from the 1840s to survive in the town. It was built on land purchased by the town in 1803, at which time the district&#39;s second schoolhouse was built. The present school was built as a replacement of the 1803 building. District schools were formally abolished in Massachusetts in 1866, but this school remained open until 1880, and served one term in 1888 before being shuttered. In 1907, the town sold the vacant building to four former students, whose association held reunions at the school, and then donated it to the local historical society in 1941, stipulating that it be maintained and preserved. It is now operated by them as a museum.</p><br>

<p>The Aaron Jr. and Susan Parker Farm is a historic farm property at 1715 Brook Road in Cavendish, Vermont. Now just 16 acre, the property includes a c. 1815 Federal style farmhouse, and a well-preserved early 19th century English barn. The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Parker Farm is located in a rural area of central northern Cavendish, on the west side of Brook Road about 0.5 mi north of its junction with Atkinson and Center Roads. The farm&#39;s remaining 16 acre are roughly divided in half by the road, with a woodlot on the east side of the road, and a mown meadow and the farm buildings on the west side. The house, set near the road, is a -story brick building, with a side gable roof and end chimneys. The front facade is five bays wide and symmetrical, with a center entrance topped by a transom window. The first-floor bays of the front facade are all topped by blind arches. A modern single-story garage extends northward from the right side of the house, and an older wood-frame structure extends to the rear. The barn stands just northwest of the house, and is set further back from the road.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, its rear ell, was built about 1795 by Aaron Parker Jr., the son of one of Cavendishs early settlers. Sometime in the 1810s, he built the brick main block to which it is now attached; this is based on stylistic evidence, as the blind arches on the front are a feature typically found only in Vermont houses from that period. Other stylistic elements of the house are clearly drawn from the published patterns of Asher Benjamin, a resident of nearby Windsor who published the nations first architectural pattern book, the 1797 Country Builders Assistant. The house remained in the hands of Parkers descendants until 1933.</p><br>
