Dinsmoor–Hale House

The Dinsmoor–Hale House is a historic house at the southwest corner of Main and Winchester Streets in Keene, New Hampshire. It was built in 1860 for Samuel Dinsmoor, Jr., a lawyer and former Governor of New Hampshire, and was later owned by Governor Samuel W. Hale, who made lavish alterations to its interior. It was acquired by what is now Keene State College in 1909. It now houses the office of the college president. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Description and history The Dinsmoor–Hale House is located south of downtown Keene, at the southwest corner of Main and Winchester Streets on the campus of Keene State College. It is a three-story brick building, roughly square in plan, with a stuccoed exterior and a low-pitch hip roof. There is a slight projection on the south facade, where there is a stairwell, and on the main facade, where a semicircular bay rises the full three stories and is capped by a low rounded roof. The center entry is recessed from the main facade, with a recessed porch above, which is capped by a small gable. The house was built in 1860 for Samuel Dinsmoor Jr., a prominent local lawyer and bank president who served three terms as Governor of New Hampshire in the 1850s. To design the house, Dinsmoor hired Elbridge Boyden, a noted Worcester architect. The house was reported at the time of its construction to be one of the finest in Cheshire County. Samuel W. Hale, a subsequent owner, gave the house grounds and interior a lavish upgrade, and also served as Governor in the 1880s. The house was given to the city in 1909, which in turn gave it to the state for use as part of a normal school, now Keene State College.

Ashland station (New Hampshire)

The Ashland Railroad Station is a historic train station at 39 Depot Street in Ashland, New Hampshire. Built in 1869 and remodeled in 1891, it is a well-preserved example of a rural 19th-century railroad station. It is now a museum operated by the Ashland Historical Society. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The former Ashland Railroad Station is located south of the commercial center of the village of Ashland, on the south side of Depot Street at its junction with Winter Street. Depot Street, running roughly east–west, is crossed by a single-track railroad line on a diagonal from northwest to southeast. The station is located on the northeast side of the track, its long side oriented in parallel to the track. It is a single-story wooden structure, with post-and-beam framing, which is covered by a hipped slate roof. The roof has wide overhangs visually supported by knee braces. The station is basically rectangular, with projecting elements on the long sides near the center. The track side projection houses the station agent's ticket office, while that on the other side houses restrooms. The rail line was built through Ashland, then part of Holderness and known as Holderness Village, in 1849. The first station built by the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad (BC&M) was used for both passenger and freight traffic. In 1869, the railroad built this station in order to provide passengers a station separate from the freight depot. It was extensively remodeled in 1891 by the BC&M's successor, the Concord & Montreal Railroad, giving it its present appearance. The station was sold into private hands in 1960, and given to the Ashland Historical Society in 1980, which now operates it as a local history museum.

Colony's Block

Colony's Block is a historic commercial building at 4-7 Central Square in the heart of Keene, New Hampshire. The five-story brick building was built in 1870 to a design by Worcester, Massachusetts, architects E. Boyden & Son, and is the city's most prominent example of Second Empire architecture. In addition to being a long-standing commercial center, the building housed the city library from 1870 to 1877. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history Colony's Block is located in the heart of Keene, on the east side of its Central Square. It is a broad brick structure, nine bays wide, with four full stories, and a fifth under its mansard roof. The ground floor consists of three modernized storefronts, each with a recessed entrance and large display windows. The main entrance is located in a recess to the right of the center storefront. The upper levels bays are divided into 3-4-3 groupings, highlighted by the Chateau-style caps of the outer groups. The window arrangements and treatments are slightly asymmetrical, with second-floor windows in the left group set in rounded-arch openings, and Palladian-style arrangements of windows on the second and third levels of the right group. Dormer treatments in the mansard roof are also nearly symmetrical, differing in the shaping of decorative elements. The building was constructed in 1870, in the aftermath of a fire which destroyed the commercial buildings on this side of the square in 1865. It was built by Timothy Colony, treasurer of the Cheshire Mills of Harrisville and a prominent local businessman. Early tenants included the public library on the second floor, and a drugstore on the first that remained in operation into the 1980s. The building was designed by Elbridge Boyden of Worcester, Massachusetts, who had executed other commissions in Keene prior to this work. The building was built together with the Bank Block, located to its right. Also designed by Boyden, it and the Colony were meant to be seen as a single structure. The Bank Block was altered in the 20th century, attaining a more Colonial Revival appearance. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Cheshire County, New Hampshire References
Elliot Mansion

The Elliot Mansion (now Elliot Hall or the Elliot Center and formerly the Elliot Community Hospital and the Elliot City Hospital) is a historic house at 229 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire, United States. Built about 1810, it was said to be the finest house in town at the time of its completion, and it remains a high quality example of Federal period architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It now houses facilities of Keene State College. Description and history Elliot Hall is located on the east side of the Keene State College campus, set well back from Main Street north of Wyman Street. It is a three-story brick structure covered by a low-pitch roof, and trimmed in granite. The main facade is symmetrical, with sash windows set in rectangular openings featuring stone sills and lintels. A stone beltcourse separates the first and second stories, and a course of brick corbelling separates the second and third floors. The main entrance is elaborate, with sidelights and an elliptical fanlight window, all sheltered by a portico with slender Ionic columns and turned balustrade. The interior has woodwork, paneling and wallpapering that appear to be original, although there have also been murals drawn on some of its walls by Barry Faulkner. The house was built about 1810 by William Wyman, and was described as the "finest house in town". Wyman, a Keene native, was said to have made his fortune at sea, and owned a store in the town center. Wyman died in 1811; the house was associated for many years with the Elliot family, who lived there from 1845 to about 1892, when the building was converted for use as a hospital known as the Elliot Community Hospital, also called the Elliot City Hospital. It served as Keene's hospital until 1973, when the Cheshire Medical Center was built and then was acquired by Keene State College shortly afterwards; it now houses a variety of student support offices.

Endicott Hotel (Concord, New Hampshire)

The Endicott Hotel (formerly Blanchard's Block) is a historic hotel building at 1-3 South Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire. Completed in 1894, it is the only known surviving work in the state of the regionally prominent Damon Brothers architects, and it was the first major commercial building on South Main Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Endicott Hotel is prominently located in downtown Concord, at the southeast corner of South Main Street and Pleasant Street Extension. It is a four-story brick building, with a basement that is partially exposed due to the lot's sloping terrain. Its most prominent feature is the oriel tower at the northwest corner, a signature element of Damon Brothers design. The ground-floor storefronts facing South Main Street are finished in black tile, an Art Deco alteration of the 1940s, which are the only major exterior alteration. The main building entrance is recessed in the center of the South Main Street facade, with an arched window above it on the second floor, and a heavily bracketed balcony on the third floor. The rightmost window bay has a projecting oriel bay on the second and third floors. The building was completed in 1894 to a design by the regionally notable Damon Brothers architects. It was the city's first large commercial building south of Pleasant Street, and the first devoted exclusively to commercial activities. (The earlier buildings included civic and social meeting spaces on upper levels.) Its exterior has undergone only modest alterations. The building's first owner was George Blanchard, under whose ownership it was used for commercial and office space. In 1908 it was purchased by John Butler Smith, who converted it to a hotel serving travelers arriving at the nearby railroad station, and gave the building its present name. In 1985 the upper floors were converted to apartments. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Merrimack County, New Hampshire References
Farmington Town Pound

The Farmington Town Pound is a historic animal pound in Farmington, New Hampshire. It is located on the north side of Pound Road near its intersection with Ten Rod Road. Built in 1823, it is one of the best-preserved 19th-century pounds in southeastern New Hampshire, and is now maintained by the Farmington Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Description and history The Farmington Town Pound is located near the geographic center of the roughly square town, on the northwest side of Pound Road north of its junction with Ten Rod Road. The pound is a stone structure 40 feet (12 m) square, consisting of four walls made of dry-laid fieldstone about 7 feet (2.1 m) high and 3 feet (0.91 m) wide at the base. The walls are topped with long granite capstones. There is an opening about 5.5 feet (1.7 m) wide on the south side, facing Pound Road, which once had a granite lintel stone over the top, but this has fallen. From the early 18th century, towns in New Hampshire were required to fund the construction and maintenance of a structure in which to pen stray livestock until it could be claimed by its owner. The early structures were typically of wood, and none of those are known to survive. This pound was built in 1823 by the town, replacing an earlier wooden structure built in 1802, and is one of a few well-preserved pounds in southeastern New Hampshire. It was built by Nicholas Colbath for $59, and was located on land purchased by the town from Hunkin Colbath for $5. It remained in use until late in the 19th century, and was sold into private hands in 1918. It was given back to the town, and is now maintained by the Farmington Historical Society.

Felsengarten

Felsengarten (German for "stone garden") is a historic summer house on Lewis Hill Road in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. The two-story house was built between 1896 and 1900 and was the summer residence of German American conductor Theodore Thomas and his wife Rose Fay. Thomas was an influential figure in popularizing classical orchestral music in the United States during the 19th century. The house and garden were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description and history Felsengarten is located south of the village center of Bethlehem, at the southern end of Lewis Hill Road. It occupies a parcel about 15 acres (6.1 ha) in size on a southeast-facing hillside. The house stands on a level area carved out of the hillside with a retaining wall behind it. It is a wood-frame structure, with an exterior finished in wooden shingles and a foundation of local rubblestone. Stylistically the exterior is reminiscent of Dutch Colonial Revival architecture, with hip-roofed dormers on each roof face. The interior has only been modestly altered, mainly to add some electrical service and plumbing. It now houses an extensive collection of books and papers of Theodore Thomas, and the gardens laid out by him and his wife are still to be discerned in the landscape. The property was developed by Theodore and Rose Thomas between 1896 and 1900 as a summer retreat. Thomas, a German immigrant, founded the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and introduced a wide swath of the classical music repertoire to the American public. His wife, well known in Chicago society before their marriage, wrote two books about the couple's time at Felsengarten.

Lovett's by Lafayette Brook

Lovett's by Lafayette Brook, or Lovett's Inn, is a historic farmstead and inn at 1474 Profile Road (New Hampshire Route 18) in Franconia, New Hampshire, United States. It is one of a few surviving early 20th century hostelries in the state, dating to a period when many large and more elaborate hotels stood that have succumbed to fire or demolition. It is located on the west side of Profile Road, in a rural area between the village center of Franconia and Cannon Mountain. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It continues to function as a small hotel with restaurant. Description and history The structure is estimated to have been built around 1820 by Nicholas Powers, one of the first settlers of the area. It consists of a pair of 1+1⁄2 story Cape style buildings that have been joined, offset by about 12 feet (3.7 m). The main entrance is in the southern section, framed by sidelight and transom windows; there are secondary entrances on the north section's facade. It was originally a farmhouse, whose farm was by the late 19th century supplying fresh goods to the area's large resort hotels. It was itself converted for use as an inn in 1928, after fires devastated a number of the area hotels. Around that time, shed dormers were added to both sides of each roof line. Further additions in the 1950s-60s added more kitchen and dining space to the rear. The grounds include a number of guest cabins, as well as an old barn that has also been adapted for guest use.

President's House (Keene State College)

The President's House of Keene State College, formerly the Catherine Fiske Seminary For Young Ladies, is a historic house at 251 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire. Built in 1805 and restyled in the late 19th century, it is one of Keene's oldest brick residences, and now serves as the official residence of its president. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Description and history The Keene State President's House is located on the east side of the college campus, on the west side of Main Street at its junction with Appian Way. It is a two-story brick structure, with a low-pitch hip roof. Its exterior is Italianate in style, with a symmetrical five-bay facade adorned with elaborate window lintels and a cornice with paired brackets. An Italianate porch shelters the main entrance, supported by clustered square columns. The house was built in 1805 by John Bond, the local postmaster and a shopkeeper, and was one of the first brick houses in the town. Originally Federal in its styling, it was extensively redesigned later in the 19th century. The house served as a girls' school from 1824 to 1844 under the oversight of Catherine Fiske. The house was acquired by the state for use in a normal school, now Keene State College. Its associated carriage barn, used for vocational automotive training, burned in 1925, and its basement hole was converted into a sunken garden.

Rowell's Covered Bridge

Rowell's Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in West Hopkinton, New Hampshire, which carries Rowell Bridge Road over the Contoocook River. The Long truss bridge was completed in 1853, and is one of New Hampshire's few surviving 19th-century covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is named for Abram (or Abraham) Rowell, an early resident of the area. Description and history Rowell's Covered Bridge is in a rural setting in western Hopkinton, crossing the Contoocook River a short way north of the Contoocook River Dam. The bridge is just under 20 feet (6.1 m) wide and 167 feet (51 m) long, and consists of a single span supported by two modified Long trusses resting on granite abutments. The trusses are distinctive in the addition of several arches, which consist of solid timbers that were spliced or butted together, and mortised into other truss members. The bridge's sturdy engineering was demonstrated by the addition of a central pier in the 20th century whose intent was to add strength. The pier, however, acted as a fulcrum, causing the bridge to seesaw under load and weakening its joints. The top of this pier was consequently removed, leaving the bridge largely as designed except for the addition of some metal reinforcing tie rods. The bridge is the third to stand at this site, the oldest known to be standing here in 1793. That bridge was replaced in 1845, but was washed away by flooding in 1852. The present bridge was built in 1853 by Horace Childs. Its design is a variant of a design patented by West Hopkinton native Stephen H. Long, a civil engineer. Long helped further Childs' career as a bridge builder; Childs is known to have built covered bridges all over New England and trained a following generation of builders. The bridge underwent a major restoration in 1965.

White Park (Concord, New Hampshire)

White Park is a 25-acre (10 ha) public park on the west side of central Concord, New Hampshire. It occupies a roughly polygonal parcel of land surrounded by predominantly residential streets, with the University of New Hampshire School of Law located across White Street from the park's eastern corner. Its west side is characterized by a steep, rocky rise of about 40 feet (12 m) above an otherwise relatively flat landscape. The park's major features include a large man-made pond, and there are active recreational facilities, including basketball and handball courts, and a baseball diamond. The traditional main gate is located at the junction of Washington and Centre streets, with a wall section that includes a built-in structure originally used as a covered shelter for a streetcar stop. The pond is transformed into an outdoor skating rink in winter. The park is also home to the city's largest playground, called the Monkey Around Playground. The park was established by a donation from Armenia White, a local philanthropist, and designed by Charles Eliot. Most of its basic landscaping, including the construction of two ponds, was completed in the 1890s. A number of the plantings lining the park's Washington Street boundary date to the initial period of development, and include several specimen trees and shrubs. The park's recreational facilities were expanded in the 1930s with funding from the Works Progress Administration, at which time the smaller of the two ponds was filled in, and replaced by a swimming pool. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
