Langdon Meeting House

The Langdon Meeting House is a historic meeting house and former church at 5 Walker Hill Road in Langdon, New Hampshire. Completed in 1803 as a combination town hall and church, it is now a multifunction space owned by the town, and is claimed by the town to hold the record for consecutive town meetings held in the same space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020, and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in 2012. Description and history The Langdon Meeting House stands in the town's village center, on the north side of Walker Hill Road just east its junction with Holden Hill Road and Village Road. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its current main facade faces Holden Hill Road, and is a gable end with a five-bay facade. Sash windows are arranged symmetrically around the centered entrance, the windows topped by shallow projecting cornices, and the entry sheltered by a hip-roofed porch supported by square columns. The secondary facade facing Walker Hill Road, its original main facade, is seven bays wide with a center entrance framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and gabled cornice. The meeting house was built in 1801–03, originally to house both town functions and the local church. It had entrances on the east, south, and west sides, and had a gallery level accessed by enclosed stairs on the east and west sides. In 1851 the religious and municipal functions were formally separated; the congregation purchased a portion of the ground floor, and converted the gallery level into a full second floor, creating a new sanctuary. The remaining portions of the ground floor were given over to town offices. Both of these functions were eventually moved to other locations, with the town taking full ownership of the building. The town continues to use the building for its annual town meetings, claiming to hold the record for consecutive meetings held in the same building.

Lyme–East Thetford Bridge

The Lyme–East Thetford Bridge is a historic bridge over the Connecticut River between Lyme, New Hampshire, and East Thetford, Vermont. From the New Hampshire side it carries East Thetford Road, which becomes Vermont Route 113 as it enters Vermont. A Parker truss bridge completed in 1937, it is 471 feet (144 m) long. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Description and history The Lyme–East Thetford Bridge is located in a rural setting between the village of East Thetford on the Vermont side and Lyme village 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east in New Hampshire. It consists of two Parker truss spans, set on concrete abutments and a central concrete pier. The trusses are fabricated out of rolled steel I-beams, and the main deck is steel covered by asphalt. The bridge location was the site of a ferry as early as 1780. A bridge is documented at this site in the 1840s, and a bridge built in the 1890s was destroyed by flooding in 1936. The present bridge was constructed as a replacement for the latter bridge, its abutments and piers built higher as a defense against future flooding. The bridge trusses were fabricated by the American Bridge Company, and it was largely funded by the federal government through the Works Progress Administration. The bridge is fairly typical of truss bridges built in Vermont at the time, and is the longest two-span Parker truss in the state of New Hampshire. It is one of five Parker truss bridges spanning the Connecticut River. The bridge was closed during a rehabilitation project between April 2023 and November 2024.
