The house has a central five-bay section, which is flanked by wings that are one story in front and two in back. The main section is five bays wide, with French windows on both floors. The center three on the first floor are topped by triangular pediments, while those on the second floor have keystones set just below a Greek key frieze. A balustrade rings the flat roof.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
# Joseph S. McHarg House

The Joseph S. McHarg House is a historic building located in the West End of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985.

## History

The house is believed to have been built by Joseph McHarg. A native of Ireland, he immigrated to the Davenport area and joined his brother Thomas in farming. In 1855, the two acquired their own farms. By 1882 the property was owned by Richard Jenkins, who ran a farm that grew fruit, probably apples. Heinrich Rohwer acquired the property sometime between 1882 and 1894. His father was a German immigrant who farmed in Allens Grove Township. The property remained in his family well into the 20th century.

## Architecture

This house is a typical example of an I-house, which is generally found in rural settings. Even though this house is within the Davenport city limits, it is located in a rural area in the city's southwest corner. The I-house style combines elements found in the Greek Revival and Italianate styles. The Greek Revival elements are found in the center doorways, both upstairs and on the main level, with their sidelights and transoms. The Italianate elements are found primarily in the taller windows on the main floor.
# Joseph W. Low House

The Joseph W. Low House is a historic house at 51 Highland Street in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1857 in the city's then-fashionable Thomas Hill neighborhood, it is one of northern Maine's finest examples of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

## Description and history

The Low House is located on the north side of Thomas Hill Road, immediately south of the Thomas Hill Standpipe on Thomas Hill, a rise overlooking Kenduskeag Stream and downtown Bangor. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, its main block roughly square, with a hip roof topped by an octagonal cupola. The front of the house is finished in wooden clapboards, while the side walls are finished in flushboarding configured to resemble stonework. The front (south-facing) facade is symmetrically arranged, three bays across, with a center entrance sheltered by a multi-columned porch. The window above the entrance is a double window, while the windows flanking the entrance have segmented-arch tops, and have bracketed hoods above. The second-floor windows have elaborate Italianate surrounds, and there are paired brackets in the roof eave. A porch extends along part of the left side.
The house was designed by Harvey Graves and built in 1857 for Joseph Low, a wealthy man of unknown business who moved to California after the American Civil War. The Thomas Hill area was at that time promoted as a new fashionable neighborhood, due in part to the views it furnished, as the previously fashionable area, Broadway, had become built out.
# Joseph and Clara Amanda H. Moorhead House

The Joseph and Clara Amanda H. Moorhead House is a historic building located east of Ely, Iowa, United States. Joseph was a native of Holmes County, Ohio and Clara was from Chemung County, New York. They settled in Putnam Township in 1855 with their two sons. The Moorhead daughters were born in Iowa. The family initially lived in a log house before the original part of this house was built in 1859. The house is the only known residential example of heavy timber-frame construction that remains in Linn County from its settlement period. This construction method was more common in barn construction. The house was originally a rectangular two-story structure with side gables. Additions and a wrap-around porch were added in later years. Two barns associated with the farm, no longer extant, were located across the road.
The Moorheads lived here until 1881 when Joseph was elected the county auditor, and they moved into Marion. They retained ownership of the property until 1900. Clara died in Marion in 1901 and Joseph died two years later in Wichita, Kansas, where he lived with one of their daughters. They are buried nearby in the Rogers Grove Cemetery. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
# Joseph and Hannah Maxcy Homestead

The Joseph and Hannah Maxcy Homestead is a historic house at 630 South Union Road (Maine State Route 131) in South Union, Maine. Built in 1802 by Ebenezer Alden, a regionally well-known housewright, it is one of the finest period examples of Federal architecture, with high-quality interior woodwork. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

## Description and history

The Maxcy Homestead stands in the rural village of South Union, on the east side of South Main Street nearly opposite its junction with Middle Road. The main block of the house is a fairly large 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. It is nearly square, five bays wide and five bays deep, and has three facades, with center entrances on the north, west, and south sides. The main entrance is on the south-facing facade, and features Doric pilasters flanking the door, and a half-round transom window and gabled pediment above. This treatment closely resembles Plate 40 of William Pain's 1795 The Practical House Carpenter. The interior of the house as virtually intact period woodwork, include fine carvings in all of the downstairs rooms, and slightly less ornate finishes in the upstairs bedrooms.
The house was built in 1802 for Joseph Maxcy, who had moved to the area in 1788 from Attleboro, Massachusetts, as part of a second wave of settlement in the town. The builder was Ebenezer Alden, whose most famous area work was General Henry Knox's Montpelier mansion in Thomaston (destroyed and since reconstructed as a museum). It is probable that Alden used the same carving tools for this house as he did for Montpelier and his own house, built in 1797. Both houses have similar stylistic touches.
# Joshua James Blanchard House

The Joshua James Blanchard House (also known as the William A. Blanchard House) is a historic house located at 415 Carrolls Road near Warsaw, Duplin County, North Carolina.

## Description and history

It was built about 1898 in the Greek Revival style, and is a two-story, hipped-roof structure with a timber-frame and a one-story gabled-roof kitchen wing. It features a one-story hipped-roof wraparound porch.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 2012.
# Joshua Lewis House

The Joshua Lewis House is a historic house in Needham, Massachusetts. Built in 1776, it has a well-preserved example of late Georgian architecture, which has been home to a number of individuals of local and national importance, including artist N.C. Wyeth. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

## Description and history

The Joshua Lewis House stands in a residential area of southeastern Needham, on the south side of South Street between its junctions with Green Street and Needhamdale Road. It is set on 1.2 acres (0.49 ha) overlooking the Charles River. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof that extends down to the first floor in the rear, giving the house a saltbox profile. Its exterior is clad in wooden siding, and it has a brick central chimney. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows. The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule, parlors on either side of the chimney, and long kitchen behind the chimney. It retains original period fireplace surrounds and other woodwork. There are modern additions extending to the south and northeast.
The house was built in 1776 by Joshua Lewis, on land originally belonging to his wife's family. Little is known of the Lewises; his wife, Mary Lyons, was the daughter of a prominent local landowner. The first notable owner of the house was David Livingston, a regionally prominent woodcarver whose credits include work in the Massachusetts State House. In 1874 the house was purchased by Denys Zirngiebel, a Swiss horticulturalist who served as an early director of the Arnold Arboretum. Zirngiebel was a protégé of Louis Agassiz, and was friends with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who is known to have visited here. Longfellow is said to have mentioned a tree on this property in his poem "To the River Charles". Zirngiebel's daughter Henriette married Andrew Wyeth, the father of artist N.C. Wyeth. Wyeth purchased the house in 1921, and used it as a home and studio for a number of years.
# Joshua Twing Gristmill

The Joshua Twing Gristmill is a historic industrial facility at 450 North Main Street in the city of Barre, Vermont. Built in 1844, it is a remarkably high-style example of Greek Revival architecture for an essentially utilitarian industrial structure. Joshua Twing, its builder, was engaged for many years in a variety of industrial pursuits, primarily considered with engineering improvements in water wheels and turbines. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

## Description and history

The Joshua Twing Gristmill is located north of downtown Barre, in an industrial area on the west side of North Main Street (United States Route 302) south of its junction with Berlin Street. It is set between the road and railroad tracks that parallel it and the Stevens Branch of the Winooski River. It is a 2-3/4 story brick building with a gabled roof. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels. Projecting from the center of the main facade is an unusual stair tower, whose ground level is fronted by a brick wall with stone headers, and is open at the sides, allowing a wagon to pass underneath the second level. A large entrance is set in a granite frame on the second level, and was originally accessed by stairs that have been removed. The interior of the stair tower includes trap doors to facilitate the movement of goods to the building's third level. The interior of the building has a number of high-style Greek Revival features, including a double-spiral staircase and marbleized columns.
Joshua Twing purchased this property in 1807, at which time a sawmill and gristmill stood on it. Over a period of decades, he built a series of mills and industrial structures on the property, of which this gristmill is the only one to survive. Twing's major business was in the production of iron parts, for which he built a foundry in 1818. He produced parts for use in mills, including waterwheels and possibly turbines, but also engaged in other pursuits, including the custom grinding of grains. The facilities continued to be used until the turn of the 20th century for the production of water power technology; most of the complex was demolished in the 1960s.
# Josiah Coolidge House

The Josiah Coolidge House is an historic house at 24 Coolidge Hill Road in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Located on a drumlin overlooking the Charles River, this architecturally eclectic house was built in the 1820s, and was the farmhouse of the last working farm in the city. The farmlands were developed around the turn of the 20th century, and the house underwent significant alterations around 1900. In its present configuration it is 2+1⁄2 stories in height and five bays wide, with a jerkin-headed side gable roof pierced by gable dormers, and projecting sections (left one angled, right one squared) under a flat roof.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
