Exeter Inn

The Exeter Inn is an inn located on the campus of Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. It is owned by the academy and operated by leaseholder Hay Creek Hotels. The inn is an occasional stopover for candidates in the New Hampshire presidential primaries. History A previous Exeter Inn had been located on Water Street. One of the town's oldest buildings, it was demolished in 1959. The current Georgian style complex was built in 1932, funded by a donation from the widow and daughter of mining engineer and PEA alumnus William Boyce Thompson. It mirrors the school's architectural motif. It sits on land purchased for the academy in 1890 from PEA alumnus William P. Chadwick by Edward F. Gale and that year's graduating class. Over the years, the inn has hosted events for several New Hampshire presidential primary candidates. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the inn temporarily closed to visitors and was converted into additional housing for academy students. In 1997, the academy transferred a 75-year lease to hotel operator Someplace(s) Different. Hay Creek Hotels acquired the lease in June 2007 and conducted a $5 million renovation, which upgraded the rooms, lobby, restaurant, and amenities.

The Stone Church

The Stone Church is a live music venue in Newmarket, New Hampshire. In operation since 1970, the Stone Church offers local food, a handpicked selection of local and craft beers, and local musical performances, along with national touring acts. The venue is located at 5 Granite Street, atop Zion Hill in Newmarket. It features parking for visitors and an electric vehicle charging station. The Church has had a rather eclectic past, even during its days as a church for Newmarket's mill workers, when the town housed a mill that at one time held more looms in its gigantic factory than any other building in the world. Built in 1832, the church first served as a Universalist meeting house, then 20 years later as a Unitarian meeting house. The Catholics bought the church in 1865, retaining ownership until approximately the turn of the 20th century when they sold it. The church then acted alternately as a VFW hall, a roller-skating rink, and a shoe-assembly plant, the Newmarket Heel Company, which suffered a major fire in 1968. In 1970, two former University of New Hampshire students (Rod Philbrick and John Williamson) and a third person, not at UNH (Arnet Taylor), purchased the burnt-out church and turned it into a venue for live music. From then on, the Stone Church served as a home for local musicians and touring acts such as Phish, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Parliament, Patty Larkin, Béla Fleck, David Grisman Quintet, Joan Osborne, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Radiators, Guster, moe., John Butler Trio, John Scofield, Soulive, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and local acts such as Percy Hill, Say Zuzu, Scissorfight, Thanks to Gravity, Bill Morrissey, and Truffle.

Third Fitzwilliam Meetinghouse

The Third Fitzwilliam Meetinghouse is a historic meeting house on the village green in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire. It presently serves as Fitzwilliam Town Hall. Built in 1817, it is a high-quality example of period church architecture, based closely on the work of regionally noted architect Elias Carter. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and was included in the Fitzwilliam Common Historic District in 1997. Description and history The Third Fitzwilliam Meetinghouse occupies a prominent location in the town's village center, on the east side of the village green near its southern end. It is a two-story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is a rectangular structure with a projecting Greek Revival temple front with four columns and a triangular pediment. A four-stage tower rises above the front facade, with a clock (given in 1861) in the first stage, and a Paul Revere bell hangs in the second stage belfry, an open section with round arches on all four sides. Fitzwilliam's first meetinghouse was built in the early 1770s, and was replaced by its second one in 1816. That building was destroyed by fire after only nine weeks of use, resulting in the construction of this one the following year. Both the 1816 and 1817 buildings are believed to be faithful replicas of a church designed by Elias Carter and built in Templeton, Massachusetts. This church design was particularly influential in a series of church buildings erected in the early decades of the 19th century in southwestern New Hampshire, and the Fitzwilliam structure is believed to be the first of those to be built. Although it was built primarily as a church, it was converted to entirely secular uses in 1858, at which time the gallery level was converted into a full second story.

Thompson Arena

Rupert C. Thompson Arena is a 3,500-seat hockey arena in Hanover, New Hampshire. It is home to the Dartmouth College Big Green men's and women's ice hockey teams. The barrel-vaulted, reinforced concrete arena was designed by renowned architect Pier Luigi Nervi. It was named for Rupert C. Thompson '28, the major benefactor of the project, and replaced Davis Rink, the original "indoor" home of Dartmouth hockey from 1929 to 1975. (Davis Rink, which was located next to old Alumni Gym, was demolished in 1985 to make way for the Berry Sports Center.) The Arena has also hosted concerts, and in May 1978 featured the Grateful Dead in a packed sold-out stadium for the band's only appearance in New Hampshire. Renovations In 2016, both the men's and women's locker rooms were renovated. At the same time, the rink also got new dasher boards, glass and a refrigeration system. In July 2025, the 50th anniversary of the Arena's opening, Dartmouth announced a 11,050-square-foot (1,027 m2) renovation. The project includes a new locker room for both the men's and women's ice hockey teams, a new team lounge, weight room and coaching suite. The Arena would also receive new additions to the concourse to improve fan enjoyment. The renovation is expected to be completed in the fall of 2026.

Trinity Church (Holderness)

Die Trinity Church in Holderness in New Hampshire ist eine historische Kapelle vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Sie wurde privat gebaut, später einem Friedhof gestiftet und diente als Schulkirche. Das 1797 errichtete Gebäude steht im National Register of Historic Places. Es ist der einzige Sakralbau New Hampshires aus dieser Epoche, der in seiner Gesamtanmutung unverändert erhalten ist. Geschichte Der Bau der Kapelle wurde von Samuel Livermore bezahlt. Dieser war zu der Zeit der größte Landbesitzer in Holderness. Er war Episkopalist und möglicherweise dafür maßgeblich, das Holderness eine der wenigen Gemeinden in New Hampshire war, die damals den Bau episkopalistischer Kirchen unterstützte. Gottesdienste fanden zunächst im Haupthaus von Livermores Anwesen statt, bis er eine eigene Kirche bauen ließ. Diese befand sich bis 1854 im Familienbesitz und wurde dann dem Friedhof gestiftet. 1879 wurde die „Holderness School“ auf dem ehemals Livermore’schen Anwesen eröffnet. Der Gottesdienst fand in der Trinity Church statt, die der Schule als Kirche diente, bis diese 1884 die „Chapel of the Holy Cross“ errichtete. Die Trinity Church wird von der Schule weiterhin zweimal im Jahr für Gottesdienste genutzt, einmal zur Begrüßung der neuen Schüler und einmal zur Verabschiedung der Absolventen. Gebäude Die Kirche unterscheidet sich von den meisten Kirchenbauten der damaligen Zeit durch die Anordnung von Eingang an der westlichen und Altar an der östlichen Schmalseite. Andere Bauten hatten den Eingang an einer Längsseite und die Kanzel gegenüber und dienten nicht nur religiösen Zwecken, sondern auch als Bürgerversammlungshäuser. Der Zugang erfolgt durch einen walmbedachten Vestibülanbau. Der gegenüberliegende Kanzelanbau hat ein Pultdach. Der Bau ist schmucklos bis auf die Verkleidung der Bänke im Inneren. Als Fundament dienen zugehauene Granitblöcke, der Bau ist in Stülpschalungsbauweise ausgeführt. Eine bauliche Veränderung betrifft kleine Erweiterungen am Dach, die den Wasserablauf verbessern sollen. Weblinks NRHP-Nominierungsformular, abgerufen am 1.

Trinity Church (Holderness, New Hampshire)

Trinity Church is a historic Episcopal church, located in a small cemetery on New Hampshire Route 175 in Holderness, New Hampshire. Built in 1797, it is one of only two surviving 18th-century buildings in the state that was built as a church (the other is the Union Church in Claremont). It is also the only major surviving structure associated with the life of Samuel Livermore, a prominent New Hampshire statesman and jurist. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is maintained by the cemetery's association, and is occasionally used for services. Description and history Trinity Church is located in a rural setting in northwestern Holderness, on the grounds of Trinity Cemetery on the north side of New Hampshire Route 175. It is a modest single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A hip-roofed entry vestibule projects from one end, and a shed-roofed pulpit section projects from the opposite end. Unlike most early New Hampshire buildings used as churches, it follows a traditional Anglican church layout, rather than that of the colonial meeting house that was more typically built with entrance and pulpit on the long sides of the building. The church was constructed in 1797 with most of its funding from Samuel Livermore, a prominent early settler of Holderness and a New Hampshire statesman who lived nearby, and is buried near the church in the cemetery. It was built on land owned by Livermore, and remained in the family's ownership until 1854, when Arthur Livermore Jr. deeded it along with the adjoining burying ground to the Trinity Church Yard Cemetery Association for one dollar. The association has owned and maintained it ever since. The church's congregation declined in size in the mid-19th century, and it is now only used occasionally for services. The nearby Holderness School opened with a sermon in Trinity Church on September 11, 1879, and it served as the school's chapel until 1884, when a new church was built on its campus. The school still holds annual services here. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Grafton County, New Hampshire References External links Churchyard and cemetery website

Union Episcopal Church (Claremont, New Hampshire)

Union Episcopal Church, also known as the English Church, is a historic church located on Old Church Road in Claremont, New Hampshire, in the United States. Built in 1773, it is the oldest surviving Episcopal church building in New Hampshire and is also the state's oldest surviving building built exclusively for religious purposes. It is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. On February 1, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The church reported 32 members in 2019 and 59 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $3,343 with average Sunday attendance (ASA) of nine persons. Early history The parish was organized in 1771 and chartered by the New Hampshire legislature in 1794 as Union Church Parish. At that time local Episcopalians and Congregationalists were considering uniting to hire one minister to serve both groups, but this never happened. The next year the Rev. Daniel Barber, who had once been a Congregational minister, became Union's rector. His son, the Rev. Virgil Barber, also became an Episcopal priest, but left the church in 1816 to become a Jesuit priest and to later found St. Mary's Parish in Claremont, the first Roman Catholic church in New Hampshire. When the church was built, it was a relatively modest structure despite its massive roof framing timbers. The tower was added in 1801, and the building was lengthened by some 25 feet (7.6 m) in 1820, at which time a pulpit and reading desk were added. These interior additions were removed in 1850 and replaced by the present altar configuration. The property also includes a relatively rare set of period horse sheds.

Unitarian Church (Hampton Falls, New Hampshire)

The Unitarian Church (also known as the First Congregational Society - Unitarian of Hampton Falls) is a historic American church on Exeter Road (New Hampshire Route 88) in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. Built in 1838, it is a rare example of an in antes Greek Revival temple front in the state, and is distinguished by the presence of Victorian trompe-l'œil panels and ribbing on its interior walls. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is presently used for services in the summertime. Architecture and history The Hampton Falls Unitarian Church is located in a rural setting near the geographic center of the town, on the north side of Exeter Road. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its front facade is recessed behind a Greek Revival temple front whose sides are extensions of the building walls, and whose inner section is supported by two round columns. They support an entablature that encircles the building, and a gabled pediment. The wall being sheltered is finished in flushboarding, and has two symmetrically placed entrances, each flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature. The interior is a single large chamber with a curved ceiling, upon which trompe-l'œil artwork has been painted, in part depicting architectural features such as pilasters and arches, interspersed with elements of actual three-dimensional elements. The interior is virtually unchanged from the period of construction, its principal alterations being the addition of the painting, and the removal of wood stoves and related heating pipes. The church was built c. 1838, and has been little altered since. The only notable exterior changes are the addition of electrical lights over the entrances, and the replacement of the roof, after the original was blown off in a 1949 hurricane. The church was built near the site of Hampton Falls' 1768 Congregational meeting house, which it functionally replaced. Its surrounding area, unusual for its rural character, is also little altered. The church's in antes temple front is believed to be unique in the state, and the interior artwork is the finest to appear in regional churches of the period.

United Baptist Church of Lakeport

United Baptist Church of Lakeport (also known as Lake Village Free Baptist Church or Park Street Baptist Church) is a historic church at 35 Park Street in the village of Lakeport in Laconia, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1891 after a fire destroyed an older church, it is an eclectic local example of Late Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Architecture and history The United Baptist Church of Lakeport is located in the village of Lakeport, on a lot extending to both Park Street and Railroad Avenue. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a steeply pitched gable roof. It is basically cruciform in plan, with wide gabled transepts projecting from the sides. On the facade facing Park Street, the transept is flanked on one side by a two-stage tower capped by a conical turret, and the other by a five-stage square tower. The lower level of the building is faced in brick, while the upper levels are finished in a variety of decoratively cut shingles and ornamental corner boards and trim. Windows typically have round-arch heads, as do the openings of the belfry in the main tower. The church was built in 1891 by the Lake Village Free Will Baptist congregation. It is Victorian Romanesque in design, and the interior sanctuary is Federal in design. It seats 400 and includes the fellowship and Sunday School classes on the first floor. The church congregation was founded in 1774 on Parade Road as Laconia's First Church. It has changed many times during the years. The United Baptist Church is a 1934 merger of the Union Avenue Baptist Church that was Calvinist (Predestination) and the Park Street Baptist Church that was Free Will in theology. The Union Avenue Baptist Church was torn down, and the Park Street Church became home to the present congregation. A separate parish house (offices) is next door on Park Street. It was painted white, but several years ago it was repainted in the original 1800s colors. The congregation is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches of Vermont/New Hampshire and the American Baptist Churches USA (originally the Northern Baptist Convention).

United Church of Christ in Keene

The United Church of Christ in Keene (also known as The First Church or Church at the Head of the Square) is a historic Congregational church at 23 Central Square in Keene, New Hampshire, United States. First built in 1786, and then moved and restyled in the 19th century, it is a prominent visual and architectural landmark in downtown Keene. The church and its adjacent parish house were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The United Church of Christ in Keene is sited prominently in downtown Keene, on the northern side of its Central Square. It has an elaborately decorated front facade, with the main entrance at the center in a rounded arch set in a projecting pavilion. The pavilion is fronted by fluted Corinthian columns, with paired pilasters on the facade on either side of the pavilion. The columns and pilasters rise to an entablature and modillioned cornice. A tower 130 feet (40 m) in height rises through five stages to a spire and cross. The oldest portion of this church is its timber frame, a 50-by-70-foot (15 by 21 m) structure that was built in 1786 as the town's fourth meeting house. In 1828 the meeting house was rotated and moved, nearly to its present location, and the Greek Revival temple front with Doric columns was added, as was the tower and steeple. These alterations were supposedly inspired by the recent (1817–18) construction of the Third Fitzwilliam Meetinghouse. In 1859-60 the church was again moved, this time a short distance to make room for an enlarged sanctuary, as designed by the Worcester firm of Boyden & Ball. The building exterior has been little altered since; the steeple was recreated from photographs after the original was toppled by the New England Hurricane of 1938. In 1924 a two-story brick parish house was built next to the church.
