<p>The Root School is a historic school building at 987 Union Village Road in Norwich, Vermont, United States. Built in 1937, it is a rare late example of a one-room schoolhouse, made further distinctive by the survival of its original schoolroom interior. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Root School stands in a rural setting in eastern Norwich, on the north side of Union Village Road, a short way east of its junction with Goodrich Four Corners Road and Pattell Road. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and a foundation of concrete blocks and poured concrete. The main entrance is in the western facade, facing the small parking area, and is sheltered by a gabled porch. Sash windows line the western and southern facades. The interior has a narrow vestibule, which opens into the main chamber. It has a stage at one end, and retains original wood flooring, wainscoting, and a woodstove with an unusual safety enclosure. The stage is effectively recessed between a small kitchen (formerly a cloakroam) on one side, and bathrooms on the other.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1937, a fairly late period for the construction of these types of district school buildings. It was used until 1946 for educational purposes, and has been used since then by a variety of community organizations, most recently as a community clubhouse. It is unusual among one-room schoolhouses for retaining most of its original interior, which is often lost when such buildings are converted to other uses. This school, along with the Beaver Meadow School, was among the last of the town&#39;s district schools to close.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. Samuel Strong House is a historic house on West Main Street in Vergennes, Vermont. Built in 1796, it is one of Vermont&#39;s finest examples late Georgian/early Federal period architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The General Samuel Strong House stands on the north side of West Main Street, west of downtown Vergennes and just north of the road&#39;s junction with Panton Road. It is fronted by a shallow semicircular drive, and is screened from the road by trees. It is a two-story L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. The street-facing southern main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a half-round transom window and gabled pediment. A low gable rises from the roof above the center three bays, with an oval window at its center. The eaves of the gable and roof are dentillated. The east-facing secondary facade is less elaborate than the main one, with its entrance sheltered by a gabled porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1796, supposedly by Samuel Strong himself as his residence. Strong was a local militia leader during the War of 1812 who was instrumental in organizing local forces for the Battle of Plattsburgh near the end of that war.</p><br>
<p>The McGehee House is a historic mansion in Hammond, Louisiana, USA.</p><br>

<p>The National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum located in Peterboro, New York, that honors American abolitionists by showcasing their work to end slavery, and the legacy of their struggle: the drive to end racism.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The museum is located at 5255 Pleasant Valley Road, between Elizabeth and Park Streets, in the hamlet of Peterboro, New York. Specifically, the museum can be found on the second floor of a historic Presbyterian church. The church, which was built in 1820, Note: This includes and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Although it has not been used as a church since 1870, it has housed the Evans Academy, the Peterboro Union School, and the Peterboro Elementary School since then. The Town Hall of the Town of Smithfield can now be found in the first floor, with the town clerk&#39;s office (note the small sign at right of building).</p><br>
<p>Most notably, the museum is located in the same building in which the inaugural meeting of the New York State Anti-Slavery Society was held in 1835. The original meeting, which was located in Utica, was aborted by pro-slavery protestors, including the New York Senator, and the following year New York Attorney General, Samuel Beardsley. Gerrit Smith, a leading American social reformer, suggested Peterboro, New York as an alternate location.</p><br>
<p>The meeting was deemed "the largest convention ever assembled in that State for any purpose whatever", with 1,000 people in attendance.</p><br>

<p>The Ely Railroad Depot is a historic railroad station at Ely Road and Old Route 5 in Fairlee, Vermont. Built in 1900 by the Boston and Maine Railroad, it is a well-preserved rural station, designed to house the stationmaster as well as providing station facilities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Ely Depot stands in a rural area of southern Fairlee, on a triangular strip of land bordered on the west by the former railroad tracks of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and on the east by an old alignment of United States Route 5, which now roughly parallels the tracks just to their west. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. On the track-facing side, a full-height section projects to a cross gable, which originally housed the telegraphers booth. The east-facing facade has some brackets, evidence of a cantilevered porch that once projected from its second floor. An original semaphore mast stands near the buildings northwest corner. The interior retains most of its original layout, which included a lobby, station office, and freight storage area, with a residential space on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The railroad line passing through southern Fairlee was opened in 1848 by the Connecticut and Passumpsic River Railroad (C&PRR), and the station located here was originally known as Wares Crossing, after a local landowner. In 1865, Smith Ely, the owner of a mining operation in Vershire, purchased land for a freight forwarding and storage facility, since it was uneconomical to run a rail line toward his mines. The present building was constructed about 1900 by the Boston & Maine, the successor to the C&PRR, after the previous station was destroyed by fire. In the early decades of the 20th century, the station became a popular stop for vacationers en route to the growing summer camps of Lake Fairlee via the Day White Mountains, Night White Mountains and North Wind. The station was closed in the 1960s. In the 1970s the lobby and agent&#39;s office were used as a local post office.</p><br>
<p>Pine-Hickory Lakes Roadside Parking Area is a wayside rest located along USA Highway 169 in Farm Island Township, Aitkin County, Minnesota. It straddles both sides of the highway just north of where it passes between Little Pine Lake on the west and Hickory Lake on the east. It is one of the largest wayside rests developed by the Minnesota Highway Department during the New Deal, at 35 acre. Arthur R. Nichols, collaborating with engineer Harold E. Olson, designed the rest area in the National Park Service rustic style. The wayside rest was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History and design</h2><br>
<p>The wayside rest was the result of a collaboration between the Minnesota Highway Department, the National Youth Administration, and the Works Progress Administration. The highway department was making an effort to improve highway safety and aesthetics, as well as encouraging the state&#39;s growing automobile tourism industry. The rest area provides public swimming, fishing, and hiking, and also provides boat access to Hickory Lake.</p><br>
<p>The site was constructed in 1938 and included a stone overlook at Hickory Lake and, on each side of the highway, a stone council ring with a fire ring at the center. Nine picnic fireplaces were distributed throughout, and 4,736 ft of walking trails were established.</p><br>
<p>The western parking area was paved in the late 1950s. The National Highway Beautification Act of 1970 brought about additional upgrades including a vault restroom on the west side in 1974, but this is no longer present. An information board was also added around this time.</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>The western area of the wayside rest has hiking trails near the shore of Little Pine Lake and climbing a wooded hill. It had a picnic area with a stone fire ring with a cooking grate. The picnicking area is now overgrown and no longer accessible for picnicking, but two remaining fireplaces are intact. The east area had a footpath following the shore of Hickory Lake and looping around a steep hilltop, as well as picnicking facilities. The footpaths are currently accessible, and a stone refuse container and the remains of two fireplaces are still present, but this picnicking area is also overgrown and no longer usable for picnicking. The south area is across the Ripple River from the north and west areas, and it had footpaths connected via a small wooden footbridge to the north and west areas. The footbridge has since been removed, and the south area&#39;s trail system has been pared down because much of the land south of the river is wet during much of the year. Its picnicking area is also overgrown, but a stone "council ring" remains.</p><br>
<p>The Former Audubon County Courthouse, also known as the Audubon County Historical Society Museum, is a historic building located in Exira, Iowa, United States. Court proceedings were first held in a schoolhouse in Hamlin&#39;s Grove after Audubon County was established in 1851. The county seat was relocated to Exira ten years later, and a disagreement erupted over where the county seat should be located. The county board of supervisors made an appropriation for a new courthouse in 1871, but its construction was delayed due to the disagreement. Exira eventually won and officials constructed the courthouse for about $2,200. The Exira Hall Company was established to build the two-story, frame structure. County offices were located on the first floor and the courtroom was located on the second floor. The county seat was moved to Audubon in 1879.</p><br>
<p>It is unknown what the building was used for between 1879 and 1887 when the local Knights of Pythias lodge took over the rent and later acquired the title. The second floor was used for the lodge. The buildings name was changed to the Opera House when the first floor was rented out to travelling musical and theater groups, and Chautauquas. The first silent movies were also shown in the hall. The first floor had a seating capacity of nearly 400. Other uses for the building have included the towns first library, a bakery, restaurant, cafe, an outreach center, as well as other uses. The Audubon County Historical Society eventually acquired the building for use as a museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Andrew P. Hansen Farmstead is a collection of historic domestic and agricultural buildings located northwest of Brayton, Iowa, United States. Hansen was born in Fyn, Denmark, and was five years old when the family immigrated to the United States, settling in Avoca, Iowa. He worked for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad there before buying his first 40 acre from the railroad. The farm eventually grew to 120 acre.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. At the time of its nomination the farm included five contributing buildings including the transverse-frame dairy barn (1894), the hog house (c. 1895), the 1½-story American Foursquare house (1901), the Midwest three portal cattle barn (1903), and a garage (1910s). It also includes one contributing structure, the double corn crib (c. 1912–1913). The house and the barns are characteristic of the building trends that are associated with Danish immigrants during the period of significance, in this case 1894–1924.</p><br>
<p>The Poplar Rural District is a nationally recognized historic district located north of Jacksonville, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The 36 contributing resources include three houses, 12 barns, 14 outbuildings, which are all included as buildings. The three corn cribs and the two granaries/corn cribs are the structures. A concrete post fence line is the object, and the landscape of the district is the site. They are all associated with the largest rural settlement of Danish immigrants in the United States. The farmsteads are located on the hilltops or along the hillsides. The latter appear to be somewhat linked to the ethnic heritage of the Danish immigrants who tended to locate their farmsteads on sheltered hillsides. The period of significance starts with the construction of the original Jackson #1 schoolhouse in 1884, and concludes with the construction of the second Jackson #1 schoolhouse in 1923.</p><br>
<p>Old Stone Row is a collection of three stone buildings flanking the original campus green of Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. Painter Hall, built 1812-16, is the oldest surviving collegiate academic building in the state, with Old Chapel  and Starr Hall  as stylistic accompaniments, all based on vernacular mill construction styles of the period. The buildings and green were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Old Stone Row is situated on the east side of the Middlebury College campus, and consists of three buildings standing atop a low ridge on the east side of Old Chapel Road, a north-south road that forms part of the campus circulation pattern. The campus&#39;s modern main quadrangle lies just to the west, while the buildings are actually oriented facing east, across, facing the original campus green and the village center of Middlebury. The three buildings are all stone structures, built of locally quarried limestone laid in irregular courses. Architecturally, their massing is somewhat typical of mill buildings of the period, although the Old Chapel, at the center of the group, is distinguished by a prominent three-stage belltower, and the orientation of its long axis (and main roofline) perpendicular to the others.</p><br>
<p>Painter Hall, the northernmost of the buildings, was constructed in 1812-16 as part of a building campaign organized in part due to competition with the University of Vermont at Burlington, which had built a substantial brick edifice in 1807. It was built and used mainly as a dormitory, although it has seen other uses in its history. Its design, virtually devoid of ornamentation, is reminiscent of a stone mill (no longer standing) built in Middlebury in 1811. Old Chapel was built in 1834-36, originally providing a chapel and instructional spaces, as well as a prominent visual focus for the campus. Starr Hall, south of the chapel, followed in the 1860s, built as the result of increased enrollment in the late 1850s. Its design is a clear reference to Painter Hall, although it is architecturally distinguished by projecting gabled bays with the entrances at their bases.</p><br>
<p>The Fairlee Railroad Depot is a historic railroad station at 320 United States Route 5 in the village center of Fairlee, Vermont. Built in 1848 and used in active service until 1972, it is one of the few surviving first-generation railroad station buildings in the state. Now used as a retail space, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Fairlee Railroad Depot stands on the south side of US 5, adjacent to the now-disused railroad tracks that run between US 5 and the Connecticut River. It is accessed by a gravel drive in the shape of a broad U, with parking in front. It is a single-story rectangular wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The street-facing facade has an irregular plan, with a number of doors and windows of differing sizes, reflecting a variety of historic functions. The building originally housed a lobby and passenger waiting area, occupying about one-third of its space, with the remainder used as a freight storage area.</p><br>
<p>The station was probably built in 1848 by the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad Company, chartered in 1843 to provide railroad service along the Connecticut River north of White River Junction. The stations precise construction date is not known due to a lack of documentation; the assessment of its age is based on architectural analysis. About 1870, the freight area was enlarged by construction of an addition, and the buildings lobby and office area was remodeled around the turn of the 20th century. It is also likely that a bay window bumping out on the track side from the agent&#39;s office was added around the same time. Operation of the rail line was taken over by the Boston and Main Corporation in 1870, and it remained in service until 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Royalton Mill Complex is a three-building residential site in what is now a rural setting of Royalton, Vermont. The two houses and barn are historically associated with a mill, whose breached dams and remnant foundations lie just to the north. One of the houses, built about 1780, is believed to be Royalton&#39;s oldest surviving building. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Royalton Mill Complex lies along the eastern bank of the First Branch White River, about 0.5 mi north of the village of South Royalton. It is set near a broad bend in the river, and is bounded on the east by Mill Road (Town Road 12). Set nearest the road is a -story wood frame duplex, which was built about 1840 as mill worker housing. West of this is a modest single-story Cape style house, with a five-bay facade and central chimney. This house was built in 1780–81, and probably includes lumber salvaged from mill and residential structures destroyed during the 1780 Royalton raid. South of the house stands a c. 1880 barn, built as part of the mill complex for storage. To the north of the house lie the remnants of the last mill buildings to stand on the site, with now-breached dams spanning the river.</p><br>
<p>This site on the First Branch White River was first developed industrially about 1776, probably by Isaac Morgan. Morgan rebuilt the mill and house after the 1780 raid, and the site had 190 years of industrial history. In the 19th century, the site included a sawmill, gristmill, fulling mill, nailery, and furniture factory. The surviving millhouse is one of only two 18th-century Cape houses in the town with an intact central chimney, and is believed to be the town&#39;s oldest building.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Square Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Jefferson, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. The district covers the original central business district. The commercial buildings are from one to three stories in height, and Late Victorian architectural styles dominate.</p><br>
<p>The period of significance dates from 1873, with the construction of the oldest recognizable surviving building, to 1966, with the</p><br>
<p>completion of the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower. The tower dominates not only the district, but Jefferson as well. Planning for the tower began before World War II. The Modern Movement, limestone sheathed, structure stands on the southwest corner of the courthouse square, and rises 168 ft to an enclosed viewing platform and open-air 14-bell carillon. The Greene County Courthouse (1917), a statue of Abraham Lincoln (1918), and a Lincoln Highway Marker (1928) are all on the square and are individually listed on the National Register. All four structures are also along the old Lincoln Highway, which passed along the south side of the square beginning in 1913. That was during a period of peak economic growth for the community (1912-1917) and the buildings along the square were substantially completed at that time.</p><br>

<p>The Kimballton Commercial District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The district covers parts of four blocks of the central business district. The commercial buildings are mostly masonry structures constructed with locally produced bricks and concrete blocks. Eleven of the buildings are frame construction. The buildings are from one to two stories in height, and Late Victorian architectural styles dominate. Because of the hilly terrain, buildings on one side of Main Street have exposed basements, while those on the other side of street are built into the side of a hill. The Bennedsen, Boldt, and Hansen Building is individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Danish immigrants were central to settling the town. Decorative elements that call attention to the Danish presence include scalloped concrete cornice moldings on three of the buildings, and a swastika that decorated a bank building at one time. The arrival of the Atlantic Northern Railroad in 1908 lead to brief period of economic expansion in the town that culminated in a peak in commercial building construction in 1918. An agricultural depression in the 1920s and decline in rail usage for transporting goods to and from the area led to a general decline in the town. For the most part the older buildings were maintained rather than new construction. The town hall, however, was built in 1942 by the Works Progress Administration to replace the opera house, which had been torn down.</p><br>
<p>Woodstock Country Club is a historic country club and national historic district located at Indianapolis, Indiana.

The frame, Gothic Revival, Immanuel Lutheran Church  is located on Second Street, and is individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Kimballton&#39;s growth was first spurred by a division in the Danish Lutheran Church in the United States. A Grundtvigian congregation was established in town and that drew people here. The residential area that is the subject of this historic district was platted after the Atlantic Northern Railroad came to town in 1907. The town itself was incorporated the following year. The first house was built in the district in 1895, but it has subsequently been torn down. The oldest extant house dates from 1907, and a total of 27 dwellings (77%) were built in the economic boom years after the railroad arrived (1907-1918). Five houses were built in the 1920s for Danish immigrants who retired here from their farms, and another house was moved in for a retiree. That trend continued after 1940 as well.</p><br>
<p>The Bennedsen, Boldt, and Hansen Building, also known as the General Store Museum, is a historic building in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with Danish immigrant craftsmen utilizing local produced materials by other Danish immigrants. The single-story brick structure was the work of Niels Bennedsen , Hans P. Boldt , and Hans P. Hansen . Each owned a ⅓ interest in the property. Although all three were involved in the construction trade it is only known that Bennedsen worked on the building. It is possible that Hansen did the carpentry work and Boldt, who also owned the local lumber yard, supplied the lumber and woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The three continued to own the building until 1945 when Bennedsen acquired the ownership for himself before he subsequently sold it. The building had two storefronts with a shared entrance. The north storefront was occupied by J.E. Twenstrups barbershop and bathhouse from 1913 to 1947. The south storefront was occupied by Walter Madsens tailor shop. Other business located here over the years have included a feed store, temporary post office,</p><br>
<p>grocery store, and laundromat. It has housed a local history museum since 1984. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Frog Hollow Stone Mill, or as it is now referred to, The Stone Mill, is a historic industrial building at 3 Mill Street in Middlebury, Vermont. Built in 1840, it is an important local reminder of the town&#39;s industrial past, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It presently houses a restaurant, a public market, event space and four hotel rooms as part of an extensive renovation conducted in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Frog Hollow Stone Mill stands on the south bank of Otter Creek, at a point where the normally north-flowing river bends to the west. The mill is located a short way west of downtown Middlebury. The building is four stories in height, and is built out of locally quarried stone laid in irregular courses. It is covered by a gabled roof. The main facade, facing south toward Mill Street, is symmetrical, with recessed loading bay entrances at the center of each level, flanked on each side by sash windows. A loading boom projects above the top level in the gable. The interior of the building, including some of its internal structural elements, reflect alterations due primarily to a history of fires with which it was plagued.</p><br>
<p>Industrial use of the mill site began early in Middlebury&#39;s history, with a grist mill built there in 1789. In 1812, the mill was converted to cotton textile production, and in 1835 the Middlebury Manufacturing Company was founded. The present building was erected in 1840, and underwent a number of ownership changes, fires, and other alterations into the 20th century. It was acquired by the town in the early 1970s, and was a student art space for Middlebury College.</p><br>
<p>In 2019 the College sold the property to Community Barn Real Estate, a local development firm owned by Stacey Rainey and Mary Cullinane. After approximately a year of renovations, including making the building ADA accessible, The Stone Mill was re-opened as a central hub for Addison County locals and visitors alike. With a boutique hotel, event space, a public market and The Mad Taco, this historic building has been re-invented once again.</p><br>
<p>Saddlebow Farm is a historic farm property at 2477 Gold Coast Road in Bridgewater, Vermont. With a history dating to the 1780s, the property is a fine example of the conversion of agricultural properties to summer and tourist-oriented uses in the 20th century. The 140 acre property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Saddlebow Farm is located in a rural upland area north of the village of Bridgewater. The property consists of about 140 acre in an L-shaped parcel., of which about 8 acre are in meadow and the balance is wooded. The high point of the property is on a ridge north of the house, which has been cleared to provide 360-degree views. The farm complex is located on the northwest side of Gold Coast Road, amid the meadows. Its central focus is the 1786 Cape style house, which has been enlarged for first tourist and later summer residential use, but retains original features and fixtures in its core. A particularly distinctive feature, found only locally in the Bridgewater area, is an "outdoor living room": this is a former woodshed attached to the south side of the house, with carriage door bays in the front that are open during warmer seasons and only enclosed in the winter.</p><br>
<p>The farm&#39;s documentary history begins in 1786, when the land was acquired by Joseph French, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. After 59 years of ownership by members of the French family, it underwent a number of ownership changes into the 20th century, the property varying in size from 140 to 190 acres. The farm was not really suitable for either subsistence or dairy farming, and it was sold in 1931 to Frances Weed of Summerville, South Carolina. Mrs. Weed converted the property to an inn, expanding the farmhouse to accommodate guests. The inn was not a financial success, probably due to the Great Depression, and the property was sold in 1937 into private hands. First used as a summer residence, it has been converted back into a year-round residence, with a series of farm buildings added during the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Fairlee Town Hall, at 75 Town Common Road, is the municipal heart of Fairlee, Vermont. It was built in 1913 to a design by a local architect, replacing the old Fairlee Opera House, which was destroyed by fire in 1912. It is a fine example of Colonial Revival architecture, and is a focal point of the village center and the town&#39;s civic life. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Fairlee Town Hall is located on the north side of Town Common Road, a loop road on the north side of United States Route 5, the main road through Fairlee village. It is prominently sited between the community church and the local community store. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboarded exterior, and a poured concrete foundation finished above grade with rusticated concrete blocks. The east-facing front facade is symmetrical, with paired sash windows in the upper bays, and large fixed windows flanking the centered entrance on the ground floor. The entrance is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch supported by paired round columns with Colonial Revival styling. On either side of the main block are small single-story additions, one housing a storage vault. The interior of the building has an entry area with stairs to the second-floor auditorium and a small ticket booth (now storage closet). The first floor houses town offices, which have taken over space originally occupied by the library, and a meeting space and dining hall. The auditorium features a pressed tin ceiling, raised stage, and balcony. The painted curtain, ordered in 1912 for the opera house, depicts nearby Lake Morey. The building interior has retained virtually all of its original Colonial Revival trim.</p><br>
<p>On December 5, 1912, a fire raced through Fairlee&#39;s village center, destroying the Fairlee Opera House, church, library, and meetinghouse. The town acquired the opera house parcel and built the present structure in 1913. It was designed by John Donahue, a local architect with no other known commissions in the town. The side additions were added in the 1950s. Although the library has moved out, the building remains a focal point of community life, housing town offices and hosting events in the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>Hans J. Jorgensen Barn is a historic building located in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with Jorgensen, who was the instrumental in the founding and early growth of the town, a Danish immigrant community. The barn is a pyramidal roof variant of the Square Hipped Roof Barn. Built in 1908, it is the only barn of this type that remains in the Danish Settlement area. The concrete blocks used for its foundation and the adjacent silo, which are part of this historic nomination, were locally produced in a Danish-influenced industry. This two-story heavy-timber structure utilized mortise and tenon construction for the animal stalls and supports for the hay loft. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Jens T. Larsen House is a historic building located in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with the Danish immigrant settlement of the community, and the skilled Danish craftsman who lived and worked there. It is believed the house is the work of Anders Jensen, who may have had the assistance of his brother Thorvald. They were natives of Fyn, Denmark who immigrated with the rest of their family to Wisconsin in the 1870s before settling in Audubon County. Built in 1894, the 1½-story frame structure features a T-plan, wall dormers, and a small square tower. The original front porch has subsequently been replaced by an enclosed porch. The house was built for Jens Larsen, also a Danish immigrant. He arrived in 1874 and was engaged in farming. The southern half of Kimballton was his land. This was his retirement home, and he lived here until he died, as did his wife Elena who died in 1928. The house was acquired by their nephew Thomas Christensen, who owned it until 1962. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Hans M. Koch House, also known as the Brickyard Residence, is a historic building located in the extreme southern portion of Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with the Danish immigrant settlement of the area, and the skilled Danish craftsman who lived and worked here. The house was the work of its owner, Hans Koch, who was also the manager of the Crystals Springs brickyard nearby. He was a native of Slesvig, Denmark and immigrated to the United States twice. He first settled in Michigan in 1893 before returning to Denmark four years later. He immigrated a second time in 1908 settling in Kimballton. He worked as a brickmaker everywhere he lived. Built in 1908, the 1½-story brick structure is a gabled double-pile house type, which was common in the Danish settlement area of Shelby and Audubon counties in the early 20th century. It may also be an example of a Danish house form. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The John D. Bush House is a historic building located in Exira, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with the skilled Danish immigrant craftsman Jens Uriah Hansen. He was a native of Lourup, Denmark, and was the first Dane to settle in Audubon County. Hansen was responsible for constructing numerous houses and other buildings in the Exira area. This is the only one with a high degree of structural integrity, and reflects Hansen&#39;s carpentry skills. Built in 1873, the two-story frame structure rests on a brick foundation. It features an L-shaped plan, and intersecting gabled roofs. John Bush, for whom the house was built, operated an early general store in town and served as the postmaster. The Bush family retained the property until 1935. It was used as a boarding house for five families in the 1930s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Audubon County Home Historic District, also known as the Nathaniel Hamlin Park & Museum, is a nationally recognized historic district located south of Audubon, Iowa, United States. During their journey to the West, Mormons camped here in the 1840s. The place became known as Blue Grass Grove because of a legend that they spilled bluegrass seed from their wagons. The Meskwaki tribe used the area as a summer campground for hunting parties until 1886. The county purchased the property in 1890, and built the Renaissance Revival style home as a care facility. The facility stood empty for several years when it was designated as a preservation project to observe the United States Bicentennial. The park is named after Nathaniel Hamlin, one of the first settlers in Audubon County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Waterloo Ridge Lutheran Church is located northwest of the unincorporated community of Dorchester, Iowa, United States. It and the churchyard form a nationally recognized historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Norwegian families who settled in this area arrived in 1855. Their spiritual needs were taken care of by itinerant Lutheran clergy. The first church meetings were held in 1860 and Rev. Nils O. Brandt, the first Lutheran clergyman in Iowa, preached the first sermon. The first trustees were Hans Johnson Gaare, John Svenson, and Peter Martinson; with Anders Larson and Ole Clauson acting as incorporators as well.</p><br>
<p>The congregation&#39;s first church building was a locally quarried stone structure built in 1867. The first cemetery used by the congregation was the West Waterloo Ridge Cemetery, also known as the Miner Farm Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Historic district</h2><br>
<p>The church building is the contributing building. It is a frame, cruciform, Gothic Revival structure. The congregation designed it after the brick structures of the Norwegian Ridge Congregation and the Big Canoe Congregations church of 1902. Norwegian Ridges original brick church (1877) was destroyed in a fire and it was replaced in 1893. Lancet windows with Gothic tracery and stained glass line the side walls of the Waterloo Ridge church. A central entrance tower dominates the main facade. The spire is capped with a Celtic cross and weather vane. The interior features a gallery in the back, semi-circular pews flanked by aisles, and an ornately carved wooden altar, pulpit, and communion rail in the chancel.</p><br>
<p>The grey steel woven wire fence and archway, the contributing structure, are located along the north side of the property. The cemetery in the churchyard is the contributing site.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Iowa River Bridge, also known as the Hartley Bridge, is a historic structure located southeast of Dorchester, Iowa, United States. It spans the Upper Iowa River for 122 ft. Allamakee County built the first permanent bridge at this location around 1870. By the early 1910s it had deteriorated to the point of needing to be replaced, and it was removed in 1913. At the time this was on the main road between Dorchester and New Albin. Chambers and Dobson of New Hampton, Iowa was awarded the $2,585 to build the concrete superstructure. The Clinton Bridge and Iron Works of Clinton, Iowa fabricated and erected the Pratt truss structure for $3,490. It was completed in July 1914, and was one of the last bridges erected in the state before the Iowa State Highway Commission standardize bridge designs for through truss bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Monsrud Bridge is a historic structure originally located northwest of Waterville, Iowa, United States. It spanned Paint Creek for 43 ft. The King Iron Bridge Company of Cleveland fabricated and erected the Bowstring pony arch structure in 1887. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was replaced with a low water crossing and abandoned in place. It was removed from the NRHP in 2022.</p><br>
<p>Red Bridge is a historic structure located northeast of Postville, Iowa, United States. It spans the Yellow River for 128 ft. The Allamakee County Engineer designed the timber Pratt through truss structure, and it was erected by a local contractor named A. L. Powell in 1920. Built for $2,304.74, it is composed of timber compression members and forged iron tension members. The structural steel was provided by the Worden-Allen Company of Milwaukee, and City Lumber provided the timbers. At some point it was abandoned and the timber deck and stringers were removed. It is the last uncovered timber truss bridge remaining in Iowa. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Old Banks County Courthouse is in Homer, Georgia. Construction started in 1860 but was interrupted because of the American Civil War. Construction was paid for with $6,600 in Confederate money. Construction was finished in 1875.  The building is a two-story brick courthouse with a stone foundation in the Greek Revival style. It is similar to many courthouses in Virginia, which is a result of the builders being from Virginia. It has Tuscan columns that are on top of one-story brick piers. The interior originally had a cross plan. The courtroom and judge&#39;s chambers are on the second floor, which are accessed by outside double stairways.</p><br>
<p>A new courthouse replaced this one in 1987. There were plans to demolish the building, but the citizens voted by more than a 2:1 margin to save it. It was restored in 1987–1989 with funding through a hotel/motel tax.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Turner Hall is a historic building located in Postville, Iowa, United States. A Turn Verein was a German social and athletic organization. Because Allamakee County in general, and Postville in particular, had a significant German immigrant population a Turn Verein was organized here. Their first building was a frame structure on Green Street, but when it proved insufficient they built this two-story brick structure in 1914. While the local German population used the facility for their gymnastics and other social customs, it also was used by the community at large as a community center. Three weeks after it opened the community filled the hall to capacity to hear Postville native John Mott, national leader of the YMCA, speak. He would win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946. From 1940 to 1990 the building housed the Postville city hall. Even during these years, and after, it was a meeting place for various community organizations. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Iron Post is a historic boundary marker located in New Albin, Iowa, United States. An Act of Congress on March 3, 1849, sought to resolve the boundary issue between the State of Iowa and the newly established Minnesota Territory. This cast iron post was placed here by Captain Thomas Lee of the USA Army Corps of Topographical Engineers. He determined that North latitude 43 degrees, 30 minutes was indeed the border between the two entities, which the United States Congress had designated on August 4, 1846, as Iowa&#39;s northern border. It also served as a correction for the townships that had been established below the line, and as a practical surveying base for the territory to the north from this point all the way to the Big Sioux River.</p><br>
<p>The post is an obelisk that rises 54 in. It is painted an aluminium color, and bears inscriptions on its four faces: "Iowa" (south), "Minnesota" (north), "1849" (east), and "Lat 43 degrees 30 minutes" (west). It was brought here across the frozen Mississippi River from Victory, Wisconsin by John Ross on a sled pulled by a team of oxen. The post was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Otto J. Hager House is a historic building located in Waukon, Iowa, United States. Built from 1907 to 1908, the Hager house is the only known Iowa commission for Chicago architect Robert Clossen Spencer, Jr. Spencer played a leading role in the development of the Prairie School movement in the Midwest. His work was strongly influenced by the English Arts and Crafts movement, but with this house he moved away from that influence. It was designed in what was thought to be the most innovative period of his career.</p><br>
<p>The two-story, brick residence with a rubble stone foundation follows a rectangular plan. The main facade is asymmetrical. The open entry porch is off-center and features a superimposed chamfered balcony room. It is balanced by the stepped window stair set to the right. These two elements are vertically aligned with two hipped dormers on the roof. The entry is flanked by two free-standing flared columns with decorative capitals. They support an exposed wooden beam below the balcony room. Postville limestone contrasts with the red Monona brick, and was used for the water table, first floor window sills, terrace copings, a continuous projecting belt course, chimney copings, and a surround on the stair window set. The back of the house features a half-octagonal kitchen wing, which is in line with the main entrance. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Hazel Path is a historic mansion in Hendersonville, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1857 for Daniel Smith Donelson, a nephew of USA President Andrew Jackson and son-in-law of USA Navy Secretary John Branch. Donelson previously lived at the Daniel Smith Donelson House. During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he served as a major general in the Confederate States Army.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>The Mansfield Cheatham House is a historic mansion in Springfield, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built for Richard Cheatham and his wife, Susan Sanders, circa 1833. It was inherited by their son, Edward Saunders Cheatham. After he died, it was inherited by his brother, Richard Boone Cheatham. In 1878, it was purchased by Cornelia Benton. A decade later, in 1888, it was purchased by Professor J. W. Huey. It served as a public school until it was purchased by W. H. Simmons.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 30, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Stagecoach Inn is a historic building at the corner of United States Route 7 and Fern Lake Road in the center of Leicester, Vermont. Built about 1830, it is one of the best-preserved examples of a 19th-century stagecoach accommodation between Rutland and Vergennes, with a distinctive combination of Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements. Now converted to a residence, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Stagecoach Inn stands facing south toward Fern Lake Road, just east of its junction with US 7, across which Leicester&#39;s small town center is located. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It is set on a modern concrete block foundation, having been moved back from the highway and turned 90 degrees in 1977. Its most distinctive exterior feature is the two-story from porch, which is recessed under the main roof. The porch is supported by Doric columns with differing details on the first and second floors. The main entrance is at the center of the five-bay facade, flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, with a porch entrance directly above which has similar pilasters. An integral ell extends to the rear of the building. Both the main block and ell retain original features on the interior, including woodwork and door hardware, fireplace surrounds, and stencilwork on the walls.</p><br>
<p>The structures construction date is uncertain, but it was probably begun before 1830, intended to be a retail store. It was purchased by Dr. William Gile, a prominent local physician, who is credited with completing the buildings construction and opening it as a traveler&#39;s accommodation on the Rutland-Vergennes stagecoach route (now US 7). It was operated as such until 1859, also serving as a local social meeting point. It was thereafter converted into a strictly retail space, serving as a general store and post office into the 20th century, when it was converted into a private residence. It was moved (remaining on its 5 acre lot) in 1977 because its location close to the main road impeded sightlines from Fern Lake Road.</p><br>
<p>The Foundry Bridge is a historic Warren pony truss bridge, carrying Foundry Road across the First Branch White River in Tunbridge, Vermont. Built in 1889, it is one of the state&#39;s oldest wrought iron bridges, and the only surviving example in the state of work by the Vermont Construction Company, its only local manufacturer of such bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Foundry Bridge is located in the village of North Tunbridge, providing access across the First Branch White River to rural eastern parts of the town via Foundry Road. The bridge is a single-span Warren pony truss, set on abutments of dry laid stone. The bridge is trapezoidal in profile, its trusses 72 ft in length. The roadway width is 11 ft, with a total structure width of 13 ft. Distinctive features of the trusses indicating its age include riveted joints (an advance over older pin connections) and posts between the truss panels. The bridge deck consists of timber stringers on a wrought iron frame, supporting a wooden bridge deck. The web of truss components reflects a means of fabrication that was obsolete at the time, but still in use by the builder, who had not yet adopted recent advances in steel rolling technology.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1889, its trusses fabricated by the Vermont Construction Company of St. Albans, which was the only Vermont business of the period to build wrought iron trusses. The bridge, built for the town at a cost of $876, provided access from the village of North Tunbridge to two of its major industries, Smith&#39;s Foundry (for which the road is named) and a gristmill. The Vermont Construction Company was in business from 1885 to 1901, when it was acquired by the American Bridge Company.</p><br>
<p>Simons Inn, also known more as Rowells Inn, is a historic traveler&#39;s accommodation on Vermont Route 11 in Andover, Vermont. Built in 1826, it is a remarkably well-preserved example of a 19th-century stagecoach inn. It has for many years been a local community meeting point, serving as a general store and post office until 1950. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Under new ownership, Brigitte Hagerman Fijal and Jason Fijal, since 2024 the Inn has been renamed The Inn Between and Which Way Tavern. Welcoming locals and travels.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rowells Inn stands in the crossroads village of Simonsville in central southern Andover, a rural community on the east side of Vermonts Green Mountains. It is located at the western corner of Route 11 and the Middletown Road. Route 11 is a historically (and presently) major east–west route across the state, and Middletown Road leads to the town center of Weston, which was originally part of Andover. The inn is a large -story brick building, with a front-facing gabled roof. Its most prominent feature is a three-level porch, the first two levels spanning the full width of the front facade, and the third set in a curved-ceiling recess under the gable. The buildings walls are locally made brick laid in American bond, and the sills and lintels are soapstone. The main entrance is at the center of the front facade; it is a double door of late Victorian vintage, which replaced an original Federal period entrance with sidelight windows. A wood-frame ell stories in height extends to the buildings rear, and a 20th-century garage stands on the property as well.</p><br>
<p>The inn was built in 1826 (not 1820 as stated incorrectly on a plate above the door) by Edward Simons, and has served as a local community meeting point and travelers accommodation since then. It is architecturally a distinctive example of Federal period architecture, with the front porch (added later) giving it Greek Revival flair. In 1910, the inn was purchased by Frederick Rowell, and has generally been known as Rowells Inn since then.</p><br>
<p>Lansing Stone School is a historic building located in Lansing, Iowa, United States. The two story structure was constructed in 1864 using locally quarried limestone. The cupola on the center front of the building is original. The building was enlarged in 1867 when the wings on the north and south sides were added. It served as a school building for 108 years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Lansing Fisheries Building, also known as the Lansing Fish Hatchery/Lansing Fish Rescue Station, is a historic building located in Lansing, Iowa, United States. Lansing was long associated with fish rescue work along the Mississippi River. Fish would get caught in the backwaters and would suffocate when the water levels dropped or froze to death in the shallow waters in winter. Rescued fish would either be redeposited in the river or transported inland to stock streams and lakes by the State Fish and Game Warden .</p><br>
<p>This building was constructed by the Iowa State Fish and Game Warden in 1915 as a headquarters for fish rescue, and as a fish hatchery. The facility was along the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad tracks, and it and other railroads in the state would transport fish for the state for a nominal fee in specially designed cars for stocking purposes. In the 1930s the Lansing facility became the headquarters for</p><br>
<p>fish management in eastern Iowa. Rescue efforts were discontinued in the 1940s, but the facility remained a hatchery into the late 1970s. Luther College leased the building in 1981 for an onsite laboratory. Beginning in 1984 the Lansing chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars began leasing the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
