United States Post Office and Courthouse–Littleton Main

The U.S. Post Office and Courthouse-Littleton Main, now serving as the Littleton Main Post Office and New Hampshire District Court, is a historic federal building at 134 Main Street in Littleton, New Hampshire. Built in 1933, it is one of the more architecturally sophisticated and imposing federal buildings built in New Hampshire in the 20th century. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Littleton Main Post Office is located in downtown Littleton, on the north side of Main Street just northwest of Thayer's Hotel, another local architectural landmark. It is an imposing three-story masonry structure, built out of variegated brick laid in English bond, and trimmed with white marble. Its Colonial Revival facade has a central projecting section that frames a recessed entranceway on the ground floor, and a full Doric temple front on the upper two floors. The interior lobby space is equally elaborate, with multicolored tile flooring bordered by gray marble, black marble wainscoting, and a fine mahogany stairway rail with wrought iron balusters. The building was constructed in 1933 as part of a major Depression-era jobs program, and was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect for the U.S. Treasury. It served historically as a post office, and as a courthouse of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Its use as a federal courthouse was discontinued in 1982; it still houses the main post office. The building currently houses the Grafton County 2nd Circuit Court – Littleton District Division, which hears cases on matters pertinent to Littleton, Monroe, Lyman, Lisbon, Franconia, Bethlehem, Sugar Hill, and Easton.

Untamed (Canobie Lake Park)

Untamed is a steel Euro-Fighter roller coaster located at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire. Layout The ride is a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter, 320+ model. The ride was installed by Ride Entertainment Group, who handles all of Gerstlauer's operations in the Western Hemisphere. A 90° vertical lift hill is followed by a 72-foot (22 m), 97° beyond-vertical drop. After the drop the 8 person cars go through three inversions: a large vertical loop, a cutback and a heartline roll. The ride has a forest and wilderness theme with the supports for the ride made to look like white birch trees (the state tree of New Hampshire) and the track painted dark green. The coaster layout for Untamed is particularly close to two other Euro-Fighter (model 320+) roller coasters: Rage at Adventure Island and Falcon at Duinrell. Impact Untamed is Canobie Lake Park's second steel roller coaster, which brought the park's total number of coasters to three at its time of opening. With the closure and removal of Canobie Corkscrew in 2022, Untamed now stands as Canobie Lake Park's only steel roller coaster and their second fully operational full-size roller coaster in the park. There had not been a new roller coaster at Canobie Lake besides Untamed since the Dragon Coaster was added in 1991. Untamed is located near the park's oldest coaster, the Yankee Cannonball, and was built on top of an old field used for functions. Part of the Jackpot Casino was turned into the queue. The old spaceship was also moved to a storage area behind the park to make room for the ride.

Wallis Sands State Beach

Wallis Sands State Beach is a public recreation area located on the Atlantic Ocean in the town of Rye, New Hampshire. The state park offers a sandy beach with bathhouse, picnicking, and 500-car pay-parking lot. History Coastal station During the 19th century and early 20th century, Wallis Sands was a Life-Saving Station of the United States Life-Saving Service and subsequently was a station of the United States Coast Guard. The station was discontinued around 1938. State park The first parcel of the future state park, about one acre in size, was purchased by the state in 1901. That fragment was used as a wayside park in the 1950s. Following expansion of its footprint to 18 acres (7.3 ha) and the construction of jetties to protect an enlarged beach area, Wallis Sands State Park was opened to the public in June 1964. Jellyfish incident In July 2010, nearly 150 beachgoers and swimmers were stung here on the same day by a lion's mane jellyfish. Most were treated on site with vinegar, and several children were taken to a hospital. A lifeguard had pitchforked a 40-pound (18 kg) jellyfish – whose longest tentacle was 13 feet (4.0 m) – to try to drag it ashore and dispose of it; however, the dead jellyfish broke apart, releasing its nematocysts on the beach and stinging the crowd in the span of about 20 minutes.

Webster Congregational Church

The Webster Congregational Church is a historic Congregational church off NH 127 on Long Street in Webster, New Hampshire, United States. The church was built in 1823 by George Pillsbury, a local builder, with interior joinery by William Abbot, another experienced church builder, and is an excellent representation of late Federal styling. The main facade has three entrances, each topped by a semicircular fanlight with reeded soffit. The central doorway has sidelight windows, while the flanking doors do not. On the second level there is a Palladian window above the central door, and smaller round-arch windows nearly above the flanking doors. The gable end of the roof is fully pedimented, with a semi-elliptical window in the tympanum. The tower begins with a square section that has a clock in the front face, and continues with an open belfry supported by columns topped by elliptical arches. Above the belfry is a smaller square lantern stage with louvered openings and corner pilasters. This is topped by a four-sided dome and finial. Each stage of the tower has a decorative balcony railing, shrinking in size, with matching corner posts topped by finials. The interior of the building consists of a large auditorium with gallery, and an entry vestibule with stairs on either side. The gallery is supported by turned posts that rise to an elaborate entablature that forms the base of the gallery's parapet. The interior is lit by a chandelier installed in 1884 and electrified in 1930. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Weeks House (Greenland, New Hampshire)

The Weeks House, also known as the Old Brick House, is a historic house museum on Weeks Avenue in Greenland, New Hampshire. Built about 1710, it is one of the oldest brick buildings in New England. It was built by an early colonial member of New Hampshire's politically prominent Weeks family, and is now maintained by a family association. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Description and history The Weeks House is located in the town center of Greenland, at the end of Weeks Avenue, a short spur off New Hampshire Route 33 near its junction with Tide Mill Road. The house is a two-story brick structure, with a gabled roof and end chimneys. It has a slightly asymmetrical five-bay facade, with the entrance in a slightly off-center central bay. The windows on either side are placed in even horizontal spacing, those on the right thus being a slightly greater distance apart from each other than those on the left. The entrance opening is topped by a segmented arch, allowing space for a multilight transom window. The house was erroneously believed to be the oldest house in New Hampshire and dated to 1638, owing to a misreading of historic records. The land was granted to Samuel Haines early in New Hampshire's colonial history, and is where his son-in-law, Leonard Weeks, eventually built a house near his. The brick house now standing was probably built in the 1710s by Leonard's son Samuel, with Leonard's wood-frame house as an attached ell (destroyed by fire in 1938). The Weeks family has a long history of involvement in state and national politics, including John Wingate Weeks, John W. Weeks, and Sinclair Weeks. The house remained in the Weeks family until 1968, when it was sold out of the family. A family association repurchased the 33-acre (13 ha) property in 1975, and has adapted the property as conservation land, and a portion of the house as a museum. The house's exact construction date is unknown; however, it appears to come after the construction of the MacPheadris–Warner House (built 1716–18) in nearby Portsmouth. That house was one of the first brick houses to be built anywhere in northern New England, and shares stylistic elements with the Weeks House. It is possible that the masons who built the MacPheadris–Warner House, who had been brought to Portsmouth from Boston, Massachusetts, left construction methods in the area that were applied in building this house.

Weston Observatory (Manchester, New Hampshire)

The Weston Observatory is a historic folly on Oak Hill, the high point of Derryfield Park in Manchester, New Hampshire. Built in 1897, the granite tower is a prominent local landmark, given to the city by James A. Weston, a Manchester native who served twice as governor of New Hampshire. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Description and history The Weston Observatory is located near the center of Derryfield Park, at the summit of Oak Hill, a prominence that affords fine views of the city to the west. It is an octagonal granite tower standing 66 feet (20 m) tall. Its base consists of several large pieces of cut granite, with the entrance at the west side, surmounted by a lintel engraved with Weston's name. A heavy cornice encircles the tower at the top of the first level. Most of the tower is rustically finished stone, laid in random coursing that gradually decreases in diameter. The top level is an open pavilion, topped by an octagonal cupola supported by slender metal columns. Narrow windows illuminate the interior of the tower, which houses a circular iron staircase. The tower was built in 1897 by the city using funds bequested by James Weston, and is the only surviving structure related to his life in the city. It was originally open to the public during the warmer months of the year, but was commandeered for military use during the Second World War, and was thereafter used to house police transmitters. It was not well maintained by the city and allowed to fall into disrepair, but has been restored. Now surrounded by an iron fence, it is not normally open to the public.

Winnipesaukee Playhouse

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is a 200+ seat courtyard-style theater in Meredith, New Hampshire, United States, in the heart of New Hampshire's Lakes Region. The Playhouse produces both a professional summer stock season and a community theater season, and is arguably the only theater in the United States to do so. Between 2006 and 2019 the Winnipesaukee Playhouse received 87 New Hampshire Theater Awards, more than any other theater in the state during this time period, and in 2009 it was selected by New Hampshire Magazine as the best professional theater in New Hampshire. In 2013 the Playhouse moved from Weirs Beach in Laconia to the former Annalee Dolls campus in Meredith. The new theater has 200 seats as well as support spaces such as offices, dressing rooms, and a lobby, which the previous theater did not have. History The Winnipesaukee Playhouse was founded in 2004 by brother and sister Bryan Halperin and Lesley Pankhurst and their spouses, Johanna and Neil. They opened the Playhouse in the Alpenrose Plaza (the former Dexter Shoes outlet plaza) in the village of Weirs Beach in the city of Laconia, New Hampshire. The theater started with a professional summer stock season, and continued with community theater and children's theater during the rest of the year. In 2006 it became a non-profit organization. In 2008, Hidden Green LLC, investors in the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, purchased the Annalee Dolls factory site for $1.05 million. The Playhouse renovated this property to create a "Tanglewood type of setting" to perform theater and other endeavors in. The theater moved from its previous site in Weirs Beach to the site of Annalee's former gift shop in 2013. As of 2012, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse had performed 91 plays, 45 of which were professional summer stock, with the rest being community theater or children's theater. New theater The access to the Annalee Dolls campus allowed the Winnipesaukee Playhouse to greatly expand and create the first performing arts complex in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The campus contains over 14 acres (5.7 ha) of land dotted with seven buildings containing 34,000 square feet (3,200 m2) of space. The new campus offers a state-of-the-art theatre that can seat about 200 patrons, a summer theatre camp for students entering grades K–8, an outdoor amphitheater with performances available before select shows, and a brand-new menu. The entire project to create a performing arts campus cost roughly $4 million. The new theater, with almost 200 seats, more than doubles the audience space that the previous theatre held (84 seats).

First Freewill Baptist Church (East Alton, New Hampshire)

The First Freewill Baptist Church is a historic Free Will Baptist church building on Drew Hill Road north of Gilman's Corner Road in East Alton, New Hampshire. Built in 1826, and essentially unaltered since about 1847, it is a well-preserved example of a rural mid-19th century church. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The First Freewill Baptist Church is located in what is now a rural setting at the geographic center of Alton, on the east side of Drew Hill Road near its junction with Gilman's Corner Road. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation. Its Greek Revival features include corner pilasters and an entablature, features which are repeated on the first stage of the bell tower, which houses the original period bell. The interior retains many original features, including gas light fixtures and wall sconces. Walls are finished at the lower level with wainscoting, which terminates in a simple chair rail. A simple pulpit is set against the rear wall. The bulk of the main chamber is taken up by bench pews, from which the doors were removed c. 1847. The church was in consistent use until 1860, after which many congregants moved to the Baptist church in the present town center. This area became less important after the 1885 arrival of the railroad at Alton Bay, bypassing the old center. A community organization was formed to maintain the building in 1920. It is one of the only buildings to survive from the original town center. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Belknap County, New Hampshire References
Armstrong Memorial Building

The Armstrong Memorial Building is a historic municipal building at 3 North Lowell Road in Windham, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1899, it was the town's first purpose-built library building, a role it played until 1997. It now houses the town museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. Description and history The Armstrong Memorial Building is located in the town center of Windham, a cluster of municipal, civic, and religious buildings near the junction of New Hampshire Route 111 and North Lowell Road. It stands on the northwest side of North Lowell Road, sharing a drive with the old town hall and a public works garage. It is a single-story structure, with a fieldstone exterior and hip roof. The roof has exposed rafter ends in the eaves, and small hip-roof dormers on the front face. Windows consist of bands of casement windows with diamond lights. At the center of the front is the main entrance, sheltered by a project gabled portico supported by square stone columns. Windham's early library, founded in the 18th century, was a subscription-based project shared with the neighboring town of Salem. Its first free public library was established in 1874 with funding from Windham native Colonel Thomas Nesmith which operated out of the town hall. In 1897, another Windham resident, George Washington Armstrong, donated funds for construction of a library building. This building was completed in 1899, designed by Windham architect William Weare Dinsmoor and built by mason Loren Emerson Bailey. The library remained here until 1997, when it moved to a modern facility on nearby Fellows Road. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Rockingham County, New Hampshire References
