Stevens Memorial Hall

Stevens Memorial Hall is the historic town hall of Chester, New Hampshire. The building, a large wood-frame structure completed in 1910, is located in the center of Chester at the junction of New Hampshire Routes 121 and 102. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It served as the center of the town's civic business until 2000, when town offices were relocated to a former school. Description and history Stevens Memorial Hall occupies a prominent site at the southwest corner of New Hampshire Routes 121 and 102. It is a large two-story wood-frame structure that is basically Colonial Revival in style, with some Queen Anne touches. It is covered by a hip roof, with a square belfry at the northwest corner, covered by a bellcast roof. The main facade is divided into three sections, with an asymmetrical arrangement of windows, and a center entrance sheltered by a porch supported by slender round columns mounted on square bases. The inside ground floor historically housed town offices. The basement level, originally unfinished, was adapted for use as a police station in the 1970s. The upper floor consists of a large auditorium space used for civic and social functions, with a stage, dressing room, and balcony. The hall was designed by Lawrence, Massachusetts, architect George G. Adams, and was built over a three-year period. It was formally dedicated in 1910, and was retired from town functions in 2000. It is the only purpose-built town hall in the town, with its civic functions now located in a former elementary school at the western end of the Chester Center village. From 1930 to 1981, this building also housed the Chester Free Library. The auditorium space, in addition to being used for town meetings until 2000, was used for local community group meetings, theatrical productions, and other civic events.

Stone School (Newmarket, New Hampshire)

The Stone School is a historic school building at 1 Granite Street in Newmarket, New Hampshire. Built in 1841-42, it served the town as a school until 1966, and is a distinctive example of the town's stone architecture. It is now the Stone School Museum, a local history museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The Stone School stands in a residential area on a steep hill above the commercial downtown of Newmarket, a small mill town on the Lamprey River in southeastern New Hampshire. It is a mainly granite structure, three stories on one side and two on the other, as it is built into the side of a hill. It measures about 35 by 70 feet (11 m × 21 m), with walls of rubble construction, with some shale mixed in with the granite. The stone was quarried at Durham Point. A water table of granite extends around the main floor, its slabs serving as lintels for the partially exposed basement level openings. The building corners have granite quoin blocks, and the main roof line features a two-stage cornice with returns at the gable ends. The interior has wooden floors and plastered walls. The school was built in 1841-42, its stonework executed by William and Robert Channel, local farmers and stonemasons. Along with the local "Stone Church" and mills, it is a high-quality example of stone architecture in the town. The building was used continuously as a school until 1966, when it was given to the Newmarket Historical Society, which now operates it as a local history museum.

Union Meetinghouse-Universalist Church

The Union Meetinghouse or Universalist Church is a historic church building at 97 Amesbury Road in Kensington, New Hampshire. Built in 1839–40, it is a well-preserved and little-altered example of a mid-19th century Greek Revival rural church. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, and continues to be used for summer services. Description and history The Union Meetinghouse stands at the southern end of a cluster of civic and municipal buildings that constitute the town center of Kensington, at the junction of Amesbury and Osgood Roads. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade has a pedimented gable and a pair of doorways, each flanked by sidelight windows and topped by an entablature. The church tower has two stages, and is topped by Gothic pinnacles at the corners (a later addition). The building has seen only relatively minor alterations since its construction. The interior retains its original as-built configuration, with original pulpit and fixtures. The single story Greek Revival white clapboard structure was largely completed in 1839 and formally dedicated in 1840. It was originally built to serve as a meetinghouse shared by several Protestant congregations, partly the result of splits within the dominant Congregationalists, and partly due to the rising number of Baptists and Quakers in the community. By 1865 many of these congregations had either folded or established their own buildings, leaving the building to the large Universalist congregation. The town formally deeded the underlying land to the Universalist Society in 1915. The Meetinghouse underwent a major restoration in 2024, including addition of new structural elements to support the weight of the belfry, jacking the belfry to level, a full roof replacement, re-sheathing and coppering of the belfry deck and roof, exterior siding and trim repair and painting, and replacement of a previous plaster patch in the sanctuary dated from the 1940s, at a cost of over $650,000.

Gen. Mason J. Young House

The Gen. Mason J. Young House, also known as the William Boyd House, is a historic house and connected farm complex at 4 Young Road in Londonderry, New Hampshire. With a building history dating to 1802, it is a well-preserved example of a New England connected farmstead. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Gen. Mason J. Young House is located just off Londonderry's commercial area of New Hampshire Route 102, at the corner of Young Road and Cross Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with a gable roof and a central chimney. It is five bays wide and three deep with a columned portico (c. 1900) sheltering its front entry, and a single-story porch (dating to the mid-19th century) extending along the side. The interior has well-preserved period woodwork. A two-story wing extends to the rear of the house, which is further extended by a series of sheds connecting the house to a carriage house and dairy barn. The main house is reported by family accounts to have been built in 1802, on a farm that was in active use since 1757. The land was first settled by Mason Boyd, and the house was built by William Boyd. Originally a subsistence farm, it was transformed into a dairy farm in the mid-19th century, delivering milk and other products to Boston by railroad. In the 20th century a shift began toward the production of apples. The property was registered as a Bicentennial Farm in 1976, reflecting over 200 years of ownership by a single family.

Bloomfield-Nulhegan River Route 102 Bridge

The Bloomfield-Nulhegan River Route 102 Bridge is a historic bridge in Bloomfield, Vermont. It carries Vermont Route 102 over the Nulhegan River, near its mouth at the Connecticut River just south of Bloomfield Village. Built in 1937, it is a well-preserved example of a Pratt through truss, exhibiting then state-of-the-art engineering. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Description and history Vermont Route 102 crosses the Nulhegan River just south of the village center and west of the Connecticut River. The bridge carrying the highway is a six-panel single-span steel Pratt through truss bridge, resting on concrete abutments. Its length is 134 feet (41 m) and its width is 24 feet (7.3 m), with a portal clearance height of 15 feet (4.6 m). It stands about 10 feet (3.0 m) above the river and carries two lanes of traffic. The trusses are formed out of rolled I-beams that were assembled on site using hydraulic riveting, a technology introduced in the 1920s. The decking consists of pavement laid on concrete over I-beams that are mounted on the truss bottom chords and riveted to their vertical elements. The bridge was built in 1937, and was built using standards and technologies introduced by the state during a bridge-building program introduced after a major flooding event in the state in 1927. It is a well-preserved example of a Pratt truss of the period, and the riveting technology enabled the bridge to be fabricated on site, rather than shipping the trusses from a factory.

Honeymoon Bridge (New Hampshire)

Honeymoon Bridge (also known as Covered Bridge No. 51) is a wooden covered bridge over the Ellis River in Jackson, New Hampshire, United States. History In 1873, town residents debated whether to build and/or repair at least two bridges that crossed the Wildcat River. Honeymoon Bridge was built in 1876, just south of the confluence of the Wildcat with the Ellis River, by Charles Austin Broughton and his son Frank. The Broughton family owned a dairy farm on the east side of the Saco River. Serving in the Civil War, Charles had carpentry skills needed to do the work. In 1899, the town of Jackson paid the Goodrich Falls Electric Company to illuminate the bridge. The sidewalk on the side of the bridge was added in 1930 according to town records, and improvements were done in 1965 to improve visibility and provide parking. In 2001 the bridge received a US$64,000 grant that provided for the installation of a fire protection system that included sprinklers, among other things. Further rehabilitation of the bridge was completed three years later. Today, Honeymoon Bridge is an often-photographed tourist attraction. Honeymoon Bridge is one of 20 examples of the Paddleford truss design. The bridge was nicknamed "Honeymoon" bridge from the tradition of lovers kissing under it for good luck. The name dates to at least 1936, with bridge historian Adelbert M. Jakeman possibly giving the bridge its nickname. Honeymoon Bridge is designated as Covered Bridge 51 by the state.

Polly's has been featured in regional and national publications, garnering "glowing reviews" in Road Food, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Cooking with Paula Deen, the Food Network Magazine, New Hampshire Magazine, and Yankee magazine. History Originally built about 1830, Polly's Pancake Parlor was a carriage shed, later used to store firewood. Polly and Wilfred (Sugar Bill) Dexter turned the shed into a small tea room in the 1930s. In 1938, to promote their maple products, they began offering pancakes, waffles, and French toast - "All you can eat for 50¢." Their daughter Nancy and son-in-law Roger Aldrich took over management in 1949. During the 1960s, they expanded to the point that they were open six months a year (they serve about 50,000 people per season), not three, and the dining room is now three times the original size. Nancy and Roger's daughter Kathie and her husband Dennis Cote are involved full-time in management.

Mount Washington Hotel

Le Mount Washington Hotel est un hôtel de Bretton Woods, dans l'État américain du New Hampshire, et situé près du Mont Washington.

Mount Washington Hotel

Il Mount Washington Hotel si trova a Carroll, nella località di Bretton Woods, nel New Hampshire. Fu costruito all'inizio del 1900 su progetto dell'architetto Charles Alling Gifford; l'architetto scelse uno stile neorinascimentale-neocoloniale e si servì della collaborazione di oltre 250 artigiani italiani per stucchi, intagli e decorazioni. L'hotel aprì ufficialmente nel 1902. La fama del lussuoso fondaco deriva dal fatto che qui, nel 1944, vennero firmati gli Accordi di Bretton Woods, siglati quando ancora la seconda guerra mondiale non era terminata, e che sancirono la stipula di accordi internazionali tra gli stati industrializzati del pianeta oltre che la nascita della Banca Mondiale. L'Hotel è uno dei pochi rimasti in cui si è scelto di mantenere la struttura originale, nonostante le difficoltà che questo comporti in relazione alla fruizione e alle necessità moderne. Nel 1986 è stato dichiarato luogo di interesse storico dal National Historic Landmark. L'edificio è stato usato come set di un episodio della serie televisiva Ghost Hunters.

Маунт Вашингтон (отель)

Отель «Маунт Вашингтон» («Гора Вашингтон», англ. Mount Washington Hotel) находится в посёлке Бреттон-Вудс (Bretton Woods), расположенном в Белых горах (или Уайт-Маунтинс, англ. White Mountains), на территории американского штата Нью-Гэмпшир, недалеко от горы Вашингтон, рядом с федеральным шоссе US 302. В этом отеле в 1944 году проходила Бреттон-Вудская конференция, на которой, в частности, были приняты решения о создании Международного валютного фонда и Международного банка реконструкции и развития. 27 сентября 1978 года отель «Маунт Вашингтон» был внесён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США под номером 78000213, а 24 июня 1986 года он получил статус Национального исторического памятника США. История Строительство отеля «Маунт Вашингтон» было задумано и профинансировано Джозефом Стикни (Joseph Stickney), который с 1881 года владел другим отелем «Маунт Плезант Хаус» (англ. Mt. Pleasant House), расположенным через дорогу от того места, где был построен новый отель. Строительство началось в 1900 году и закончилось в 1902 году. Первые постояльцы зарегистрировались в отеле 28 июля 1902 года. Отель «Маунт Вашингтон» построен в стиле испанского неоренессанса, имеет Y-образную форму с двумя пятиэтажными восьмиугольными башнями. Когда он открылся в 1902 году, в нём было 352 гостиничных номера. Джозеф Стикни скончался в декабре 1903 года, завещав отели своей жене Кэролин, которая владела ими до своей смерти в 1936 году. После этого отель перешёл в собственность её племянника Фостера Рейнолдса (F. Foster Reynolds), который продал его во время Второй мировой войны. В 1944 году отель «Маунт Вашингтон» стал местом проведения Бреттон-Вудской конференции, на которой решались международные финансовые вопросы, связанные с окончанием Второй мировой войны. В конференции участвовало 733 делегата от 44 стран. В 1955 году отель был продан Моррису Флейшеру (Morris J. Fleisher) и его жене, в собственности которых он находился почти 15 лет. В 1969 году отель был приобретён компанией Mount Washington Development Company, которая занималась развитием горнолыжного курорта Бреттон-Вудс. В 1975 году владельцем отеля стала Bretton Woods Corporation, в 1978 году он был внесён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США, а в 1986 году получил статус Национального исторического памятника США. В 1991 году отель был приобретён группой бизнесменов из Нью-Гэмпшира. Изначально задумывалось, что отель будет работать только летом и осенью, но в конце 1999 года он открылся на свой первый зимний сезон. В декабре 2015 года было объявлено, что отель «Маунт Вашингтон» и прилегающая к нему территория Бреттон-Вудс приобретены компанией Omni Hotels & Resorts. С тех пор отель стал официально называться Omni Mount Washington Hotel. См. также Вашингтон (гора, Нью-Гэмпшир) Бреттон-Вудс (Нью-Гэмпшир) Примечания

Ranger Bridge

The Ranger Bridge (officially Veterans Memorial Bridge) between Wells River, Vermont and Woodsville, New Hampshire, is a three-hinged steel arch truss bridge over the Connecticut River. It was built in 1923 to replace a 1917 bridge and is the oldest steel arch bridge over the Connecticut River. History The Wells River Bridge was built in 1903 to carry rail and road traffic. In 1917, the road traffic was rerouted over a new bridge, a three-span Warren deck truss designed by John W. Storrs, just downstream, called the Ranger Bridge, for around $65,000 (US$1,630,000 with inflation). A flood undermined and destroyed this bridge in 1922. J. R. Worcester designed the next bridge, which was built by the Boston Bridge Company, the same combination of designer and builder which made the Arch Bridge in Bellows Falls 18 years earlier. The current bridge was completed in 1923 as a three-hinged steel arch bridge. It was rehabilitated in 2001–3.

Wells River Bridge

The Wells River Bridge between Wells River, Vermont and Woodsville, New Hampshire, is a steel double-decked Baltimore truss bridge over the Connecticut River. It was built in 1903 to carry rail and road traffic. History The first bridge at this crossing was built in 1805. In 1853, the Boston, Concord, & Montreal Railroad built a double-decked wooden Burr truss covered bridge over the Connecticut River on this alignment. The railroad collected tolls from users of the highway. The current Wells River Bridge was built in 1903 by the Boston & Maine Railroad, which took over the route, to carry rail and road traffic, to replace the previous bridge. In 1917, the road traffic was rerouted over a new bridge just downstream, called the Ranger Bridge. The railroad continued to use this bridge until no later than 2001, when it was used for vehicle traffic while the Ranger Bridge was being rehabilitated. As of 2007, this bridge is fenced off and unused. See also List of crossings of the Connecticut River References
