Hopestill Bent Tavern

The Hopestill Bent Tavern is a historic First Period tavern (now a private residence) in Wayland, Massachusetts, United States. The oldest portion of this 2+1⁄2-story building was built on this site c. 1710, and consisted of two rooms with a central chimney. Around 1800 a second First Period structure was moved to the site and attached to the first, giving the building most of its present form. The building is also unusual for the period in that some of its rooms have no fireplace, and that the upstairs exhibits evidence of significant reuse of older building materials, a practice that was generally restricted to the attic or basement. The building exhibits modest Federal styling, in keeping with the c. 1800 alterations. Its builder and first proprietor was Hopestill Bent (1672–1725). Hopestill Bent fought in King William's War (one of the French and Indian Wars). Hopestill Bent was the great-grandfather of Silas Bent Jr. and great-great-grandfather of Charles Bent, the trader and first territorial Governor of New Mexico during the Mexican-American War The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Hornbine Baptist Church

The Hornbine Baptist Church is an historic colonial church at 141 Hornbine Road in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. This modest vernacular structure was built in 1753, and is the oldest Baptist meeting house in southeastern Massachusetts. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof and clapboard siding, set at the northeast corner of Hornbine and Baker Streets, opposite the Hornbine School. A hip-roofed enclosed vestibule extends across the west-facing front facade, with a pair of entrances flanking a single sash window. A "social hall" addition extends northward from the northwestern corner of the building. History When built in 1753, the interior had a single large open space, with the pulpit on the north wall. In 1802 galleries were added to either end, and pews were installed. The pulpit was also enlarged at this time, with stairs on either side. At a later date the space was again rearranged, and the pulpit, now reduced in size, is in the southeast corner. The current entrance was added in 1869, as was the social hall (extended to its present size just a few years later). The chandelier and four bracket lamps were added at this time, and were electrified in the 20th century. The 1870s also saw the construction of horse sheds, which were removed in the 1920s. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. By 1995, the Baptist congregation was struggling with a dwindling membership and held services twice a month. Holy Cross Catholic Church Sometime between 2009 and 2015, the church at 141 Hornbine Road has become the home of the Holy Cross Catholic Church. This church is part of the independent federation of Old Catholic Churches, which split from Roman Catholicism.

Built in 1895 to a design by Perkins & Betton, this Colonial Revival style housed the local public library for many years. It presently houses the Littleton Historical Society. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 1991. Description and history The Houghton Memorial Building occupies a triangular parcel of land at the junction of King and Foster Streets, southwest of Littleton's modern center. King Street (Massachusetts Route 2A) passes north of the building and Rogers Street is a short spur joining it to Foster Street. This area was historically the town center, and the building occupies a highly prominent position. It is a 1-1/2 story building, constructed out of yellow brick and a light-colored terra cotta. Its main entrance is in a pavilion 2-1/2 stories in height that projects from the northern end of the west side. It has a fully pedimented gable with modillions and dentil molding. The entrance is set in a round-arch opening, flanked by windows set in lower round-arch openings, with a three-part Palladian window on the second level. Courses of terra cotta extend around the building, separating the basement level from the first floor, and the first from the second. Windows on the first floor are typically round-arch sash. The building's interior has retained a significant degree of original material. The building was designed by Perkins & Betton and built in 1894-95 to house the municipal library. It was a gift from Elizabeth and Clement S. Houghton, he the son of one of Boston's wealthiest merchants, William S. Houghton. The elder Houghton, a Littleton native, had in 1884 made a bequest to the town for the establishment of a library collection in honor of Reuben Hoar, who had financially assisted his father in a difficult time. The Shingle style building erected by that bequest stood at the site of the present town hall, and also housed town offices. It was a major local landmark until its destruction by fire in 1943. The library, still named in honor of Reuben Hoar, moved to 41 Shattuck Street in 1991, and the Houghton Memorial Building then housed the Littleton Historical Society. See also Conant Houghton Co.

House at 17 Cranston Street

The House at 17 Cranston Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, is an architecturally eclectic and distinctive 12-sided structure, with an unusual combination of Italianate and Gothic features. It was built around 1874 by two Scottish immigrants, and is a distinctive landmark overlooking Hyde Square. It was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history 17 Cranston Street stands on top of a low ridge southeast of the Hyde Square junction of Centre and Perkins Streets in Jamaica Plain. The main structure consists of three four-sided bays resembling truncated hexagons, which have been joined in a Y shape around a central hexagon. Windows consist of paired casements, each set at one of the angled corners with a triangular colored transom, giving the pair the appearance of a peaked transom. Each window pair is framed by shouldered Italianate moulding. The windows are arranged so there is only one pair per corner, either on the first or second floor. In two places on the ground floor there are doors placed at a corner, which fold as well as open. Each of these has been covered by a later added vestibule, whose exterior continues the main body styling but houses a more standard door. The exterior is finished in overlapping wooden panels that are in a hexagonal pattern. A six-sided cupola rises at the center of the roof, its exterior finished in multicolored slate. The interior decoration continues the hexagonal themes of the exterior. The land on which the house stands was purchased by James and Archibald Scott from developer Timothy Bowe in 1871. The Scotts lost the property by foreclosure in 1874. The house was probably built by the Scotts: Archibald, a native of Nova Scotia, was a carpenter, specialized in the organ building trade, while Bowe was a mason, none of whose nearby houses come close to this one in architectural interest. According to a 1908 article on the house, the Scott brothers camped in a tent on the property while building the house. After the Scotts lost the property, it went through a number of absentee owners. In the 20th century, the vestibules were added, and the house was sheathed in asphalt siding, which was placed over the hexagonal tiles. Subsequent owners have removed the siding, exposing the original, which was judged in 1987 to be in good condition. On February 20, 2025, a fire broke out at the house, causing some damage to the roof. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in southern Boston, Massachusetts References
