placed through this local landmark, built in 1874 to replace the school
where abolitionist Moses Cartland first served as headmaster.

Centennial High School, Milford
Built in 1894-94 of brick and Milford granite, this building was one of the first large high schools in southern New Hampshire.  At its opening, the local newspaper praised its construction, noting that “interior arrangements afford every convenience for teachers and scholars …. finest location in town.”

Allenstown Meeting House, Allenstown
Built in 1815, the Allenstown Meeting House is the state’s only surviving town meeting house that was built originally as a one-story structure and yet served the full range of civic and religious functions that were expected of a town meeting house.  It also has a rare slanted main floor for improved visibility of the speakers in the pulpit.

Emery's Tavern, Concord
Built by one of East Concord’s founding families in the 18th century, this tavern served as a community gathering spot for city residents and travelers during the tumultuous War of 1812.  For many years afterward, it functioned as a working farm on the banks of the Merrimack River.

Sarah and Simon Green Farm, Farmington
The history of this farm echoes the story of farms all over New Hampshire.  Sarah and Simon Green cleared the land and built their home at the time of the Revolutionary War.  Today the farm’s working buildings, landscape and stone walls illustrate the farm’s development well into the 20th century.

Colonial Theatre, Keene
Built to be “New England’s most modern and perfectly appointed theatre,” the Colonial has been a landmark on Keene’s Main Street since 1923.  During its first week of operation, 6000 free tickets were offered to see the silent film, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

The 1937 Terminal, Manchester
Recently moved across two runways to avoid expansion plans at Manchester Airport, the 1937 Terminal is a  testament to both the state’s aviation pioneers and the tireless vision of modern day historic preservationists.  Now owned by the city of Manchester, it will open as the museum and archives of the New Hampshire Aviation Historical Society next year.

Dana House, Lebanon
Believed to be the oldest extant dwelling in Lebanon, the Dana House documents more than 200 years of changing fortunes, tastes and construction techniques in Lebanon.  The city ensured its preservation in 1988 by moving the Dana House out of the path of development; it is now used as a museum, study house and meeting space. 

Londonderry Grange #44, Londonderry
This well-preserved rural community grange hall has remained in continuous use by Grange #44 since its construction in 1909.  Its stone and shingled exterior is a landmark in Londonderry’s civic center.  Several years ago, the building’s original plans and specifications were discovered at a Massachusetts flea market and returned to Londonderry.

Lamprey House, Moultonborough
Built about 1812 as a one-story, square plan house, the Lamprey House was greatly expanded as the late 19th century home of Eveline and James French, store owner, selectman and state legislator.  In the 20th century, its prominent role in the village continued as the Red Hill House and the Moultonborough Inn.

Moultonborough Town House, Moultonborough
Built in 1834 as the first town hall in Moultonborough, this meeting house served as the center of local government and affairs for well over a hundred years.  Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as well, the building is now the headquarters of the Moultonborough Historical Society.

Gorham Town Hall, Gorham
Built in 1919 in brick, Gorham Town Hall replaced opera houses that had burned on the site in 1914 and in 1917.  Since then, the three-story Colonial Revival style building has been the center, over the years housing the town offices, the police and fire departments, the town library, an auditorium and the local Masonic lodge.

Blanchard-Bowers House, Merrimack
According to local records, the Blanchard-Bowers was built c.1726 as a center chimney cape, raised to 2-1/2 stories about 1750, and then updated with a colonnaded façade addition in the 1830s.  Today the building is among the best examples of the Greek Revival style in Merrimack and houses the administrative offices of The Thomas More College.  Each of its architectural transitions illustrates the town’s growing prosperity as a 19th century center for agriculture, industry and trade.

Whipple House, Bristol
The Whipple House was built in 1904 for the family of Henry Chandler Whipple, president of the Dodge Davis Woolen Mill, a local mill that was perhaps best known for providing uniforms to major league baseball teams.  This well-preserved Queen Anne style home is a landmark in historic downtown Bristol.

Rossview Farm, Concord
Well-known for its strawberries, pumpkins, maple syrup and Christmas trees, Rossview Farm today incorporates three early farms in West Concord.  Historic farm buildings, a former school house, cellar holes, sugar bush, stone walls, and acres of fields and forests together tell the story of farming in the Merrimack Valley for more than 200 years.

Baptist New Meeting house, New London
The design of this Federal style meeting house was patterned after designs in Asher Benjamin’s The Country Builder’s Assistant, the first architectural guidebook written by an American for American craftsmen.  Since 1826, the church has sheltered religious and community activities, redefining the center of New London and drawing the center of the village from Summer Street east to its current location.

Mt. Forist Grange Cemetery, Berlin
Members of some of Berlin’s founding families are buried at the Mt. Forist Grange Cemetery.  Established about ten years after settlers from Gilead, Maine, moved to the Androscoggin River intervale, this small burial ground is one of only two known family cemeteries in Berlin.  The city opened a public cemetery the following year, followed by a number of cemeteries associated with churches.

Bridges House, Concord
Best known as the home of Henry Styles Bridges and as the official residence of the governor, the Bridges House was built by prosperous local joiner Charles Graham in 1835-1836.  Bridges, a one-term governor and long-time U.S. Senator, and his wife Doloris owned the property from 1946 to 1969, when she bequeathed the house and its contents to the state for use as the governor’s residence.  It continues to serve that purpose today.

Samuel R. Hanson House, Rochester
An excellent example of the Greek Revival style, the Samuel R. Hanson House is distinctive for its use of two equally-treated facades and its prominent location on Rochester Hill.  With its well-preserved barn, granite fences and mature trees, the property is the best surviving example of the prosperous farmsteads that once covered Rochester Hill. 

Rolfe Homestead, Concord
The Rolfe Homestead tells the story of  settlement, agriculture and industry along the Merrimack River in Penacook since the 18th century.  Members of the Rolfe family were founders and leading industrialists in Penacook village and Concord for many years.  The architectural significance of the rare double English barn on the property has already been recognized by the Register.  This listing expands the designation to the entire property.

Waumbek Cottages c. 1910 view, Jefferson (left) and Wayonda, one of the six Waumbek Cottages, Jefferson (right)
Today, six historic summer cottages comprise the Waumbek Cottage Historic District in Jefferson - Onaway, Wayonda, Wyndybrae, Bashaba, The Birches and The Bungalow.  Built as part of the once larger, fabled Waumbek Hotel complex, the cottages today are significant both for their landmark architecture along Route 2 and for the story they continue to tell about summer tourism in the White Mountains.

Spinney Meeting House, Wakefield
Constructed in the 1830s and largely unaltered today, the Spinney Meeting House follows a common plan for small churches of the Greek Revival period in New Hampshire.  The building was the center of community life in the small village of South Wakefield until being abandoned in the 1920s.  Now the town of Wakefield plans to repair and re-open the building for community meetings and activities once again.

North District School, Greenland
The brick North District School in Greenland opened in 1847 to provide a well-built and healthy learning environment for 48 students, complete with wall maps and a library of  200 volumes.  Since 1938, it has housed the Greenland Veterans Association, a local charitable and social organization.  Although much has changed along Portsmouth Avenue since 1847, the school remains a landmark of earlier times along this busy road.

Universalist Church, Lempster
Another local landmark at a busy intersection, the Universalist Chapel was built in 1845, one of four new public buildings constructed during this period in the growing village of East Lempster.  Although small, the building served well as a church for more than 100 years.  Today it remains a well-preserved example of the vernacular Greek Revival style and houses the Miner Memorial Library.

New London Barn Playhouse, New London
The New London Barn Playhouse has a long, colorful history as a popular and successful summer stock theater.  Established in 1933, the theater moved the next year into its current home, a c.1820 barn that had long been a fixture on New London’s Main Street.  A training ground for many well-known performers, it is credited with being the oldest, continuously operating summer stock theater in New Hampshire. 

Randolph Church, Randolph
As one of the few public buildings and the only church in town, the Randolph Church has hosted countless services, hymn sings, weddings, funerals, philanthropic activities and social events since its construction in 1884.  Extremely well cared for and preserved, it remains a pristine example of the late Greek Revival style in northern New Hampshire. 

Simon's Store, Weare
Simon’s Store has served as a store, boarding house, residence and even the telephone exchange during its more than 200 year history.  A unique and defining feature at the center of Weare Village, the store has been owned by the same family since 1892 and is now under restoration.

Pawtuckaway CCC Camp, Deerfield
Built by and for the Civilian Conservation Corps, this recreation hall remains a tribute to the camp’s many contributions in Deerfield from 1933 to 1937.  With its prominent stone fireplace, the building is familiar to the thousands who attend the Deerfield Fair every year; it now serves as home to exhibit “Deerfield Fair Past and Present.”

Madison Corner School, Madison
Built in 1835, the Madison Corner School is a quintessential rural one-room schoolhouse, with its simple Greek Revival details, paired doors in the gable end, stove chimney and clapboarded exterior.  Now part of a larger complex of educational buildings, the school today houses the Madison Historical Society. 

Eugene and Mary Quirin House, Manchester
With its prominent corner turret and rich Queen Anne style decoration, the Quirin House has been owned by only two families since its construction in 1906.  Eugene Quirin immigrated to Manchester from France in 1883 and became one of the West Side’s most successful businessmen and prominent citizens.  The Phaneuf family acquired the property in 1955 and converted it to a funeral home, creating one of the oldest continually-owned family funeral businesses in the state.

North Hampton Town Hall, North Hampton
Constructed in 1844, the North Hampton Town Hall was the site of town meetings and functions for 160 years as the village grew around it.  The town’s 1815 Paul Revere Bell hangs in the clock tower.   Built with recycled timbers from North Hampton’s 1734 and 1761 meeting houses, this Greek Revival style landmark is now closed and waiting for repair.

Mt. Washington Cemetery, Bethlehem
The Mt. Washington Cemetery is the oldest burial ground in Bethlehem; although the cemetery was formally cleared and fenced in 1800, the earliest graves date to 1795.  The historic landscape of graves, stone walls and mature cedars is a quiet landmark on Main Street.  The Bethlehem Heritage Society is now working to preserve gravestones that have deteriorated with time.

Webster Stagecoach Stop and Store, Danville
This small shingled building set close to the road is the only documented example of a rural stagecoach stop in the state.  Other examples are parts of larger properties with a number of historic uses.  Early customer accounts remain intact, written on interior walls.  The stagecoach stop’s unusual history illustrates the importance of stagecoach routes in the 19th century, not only for travel, but for commerce and mail delivery as well.  The building is now mothballed for safekeeping; the Danville Heritage Commission is working the property owners to preserve the building.

Folsom's Tavern, Durham
Folsom’s Tavern / Odiorne Farm is a landmark property along one of the state’s most historic transportation routes, the First New Hampshire Turnpike, now known as US Route 4.  Built c.1805, the tavern served travelers on the newly built turnpike at the north end of the Piscataqua Bridge.  The 54-acre farm and outbuildings also document close to 200 years of tidal farming along Royalls Bay and Little Bay. 

Union Chapel, Hillsborough
Designed by local architect John W. Jackman, Union Chapel was constructed in 1887 after four years of fund raising by the Ladies Aid Society.  In the years since, the chapel has hosted worship services, summer school, Sunday school, plays, weddings, bazaars and other social gatherings.  Formed to foster a sense of community in the growing and industrious Lower Village, the Society has maintained the chapel in pristine condition for more than 100 years; membership dues remain at 25 cents a year. 

Stone Homestead, Swansey
Built c.1791, the Stone Homestead served as an early tavern along the main road at Swanzey Center, at the foot of Mount Caesar.  Beginning in the 1830’s, six generations of the Stone family lived at the farm, keeping the tavern, expanding farming and logging operations, and updating the main house in the Greek Revival style in the mid-19th century. 

Stone Arch Bridge, Keene
One of the finest and more daring arched spans in the country when constructed in 1847, this stone arch bridge today carries pedestrians rather then rail cars.  It is one of twenty large arched granite bridges and culverts on the former Cheshire Railroad.  The line was described as “one of the most thoroughly-constructed roads in the country.  Its bridges, culverts and abutments, built of cut granite, are models of civil engineering.”   This stone arch rises 50 feet above the river, with a clear span of almost 70 feet.

Bowker House, Keene
The John Bowker House is an outstanding example of the Italianate style, a popular architectural idiom in mid-19th century Keene.  Built for the family of manufacturer John Bowker in 1866, the house features a flush boarded exterior painted in imitation of stone, highly decorative trim and window treatments, and a matching connected carriage barn.   Many well-preserved Italianate elements, such as staircases, fireplace surrounds and doors, remain in the interior as well.

H.E. Netsch & Sons Blacksmithing, Manchester
This property is a rare example of a 20th century blacksmith shop.  Blacksmith, wheelwright and carriage builder H.E. Netsch opened the shop about 1930, with a specialty in horseshoeing.  He passed the shop and his blacksmithing skills to his son, Carl, who continued in the business until 1995.  The utilitarian building retains many characteristics that illustrate its former use, such as the brick forge, concrete floors, business signs and the well-ventilated interior.  H.E. Netsch & Sons was Manchester’s last operating blacksmith shop.

Peterborough Town Library, Peterborough
The Peterborough Town Library was designed by resident George Shattuck Morrison, a nationally renown bridge engineer, in 1892.  Morrison’s straightforward design, with an emphasis on function and long-lasting materials such as brick and iron, was augmented with a Classical Revival portico in 1914, at the bequest of his sister.  Established in 1833, Peterborough is credited with being the oldest free library in the world supported entirely by public funds.

Portsmouth Marine Railway, Portsmouth
From 1833 to 1855, the Portsmouth Marine Railway hauled wooden brigs, barks, schooners and clipper ships onto ways for inspection and repair.  Heavy machinery, with the assistance of only two horses, could pull vessels weighing more than 500 tons upright out of the Piscataqua River.  Later used as a residence and a fish market, the building today houses the Portsmouth Players’ Ring Theatre.

Holman & Merriman Machine Shop, Hinsdale
The clerestory roofline of the brick Holman & Merriman Machine Shop is a landmark in Hinsdale Village.  Built in 1837 as a cooperage and pail factory, the mill was home to the Holman & Merriman Machine Shop from 1865 to the 1920s.  In 1875, a shop apprentice, George Long, produced the world’s first self-propelled vehicle, now on display at the Smithsonian Museum.  Although once part of a complex of industrial buildings and shops along the Ashuelot River and canal in Hinsdale, the Holman & Merriman Machine Shop today is one of the few physical reminders of the village’s 19th century industrial prominence.

Corner School House, Westmoreland
The earliest section of the Corner School may date to 1789; it now serves as a wing to the new and improved school, built in the Greek Revival style in 1846.  Westmoreland students attended this one-room schoolhouse until the 1950s; its blackboards and bookshelves are still in place.  This state designation adds to the property’s listing to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Smyth Library, Candia
Although a public library had operated out of several buildings since the 1880s, the Smyth Library was the first purpose-built library building in Candia.  Marion C. Smith donated it to the town in 1934 in honor of her late husband, Frederick Smyth.  A native of Candia, Smyth was a successful businessman and politician.  Under his leadership as governor, the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanics was established in 1866; it later became the University of New Hampshire in Durham.  The Smyth Library bears a striking resemblance to the Taylor Library in East Derry and may have been designed by the same architect.

Thomas Ayres Homestead, Greenland
The earliest sections of the Thomas Ayres Homestead were built circa 1737 on the old post road between Boston and Portland, Maine.  The house and property have expanded since, creating an imposing landmark on the town green in Greenland.   In the late 1800s, the Ayres Homestead served as a summer boarding house, called Elm Shade, offering city dwellers a quiet rural vacation for $1 a day.  Its owners continue that historic use today, operating a bed & breakfast.  

Littleton Community House, Littleton
The Community House has served as a center for social activities and services for close to 100 years in downtown Littleton.  Since the center’s opening in 1919, more than two million people have visited and worked together there.  Built in 1884 as the residence of a lumber baron, the Queen Anne style house is asymmetrical in plan and form and incorporates a variety of materials and projections.  The well-preserved and ornate interior features and finishes are illustrative of late 19th century/early 20th century styles and tastes. 

Temple Town Hall, Temple
A landmark in the historic village of Temple, this Greek Revival style building was constructed in 1842 to serve a local Universalist congregation.  After the congregation’s membership dwindled, the Miller Grange took over the building in 1875 and added a stage.  The town purchased the building in 1889 for use as a town hall, although the grange continued to meet there.  Although the town offices are now located in another building, the Temple Town Hall is currently under repair and will continue to serve as a community meeting and gathering space.

Shedd Free Library, Washington
Constructed in 1881, the Shedd Free Library stands as an extremely well-preserved example of an eclectic style, with Renaissance Revival and Eastlake influences, as applied to civic architecture.  The library is significant for its prominence within the village center, as well as for its longstanding contributions to education and civic life in Washington.  Its architect, Shephard S. Woodcock of Boston, also designed the Grace United Methodist Church in Keene and the Sanborn Seminary in Kingston.

Haverhill Lime Kilns, Haverhill
Two stone lime kilns stand off the Chippewa Trail near Black Mountain in Haverhill, well-preserved survivors of an important 19th century industry.  Mined limestone, rare in New Hampshire, was heated in the kilns until it turned into powdered lime, which was then packed in barrels and shipped throughout New England for use in agriculture, as mortar and in a wide variety of other products.  Built in 1838 and 1842, the kilns operated successfully for approximately 50 years, aided by the close proximity of acres of  woodland for fuel and the Concord, Boston & Montreal Railroad for transport.  The Civilian Conservation Corps and other government work programs occupied the site in the Depression, repairing one of the kilns in 1940-41.  Today the Haverhill Heritage Commission is working with the property owners to keep the kiln site cleared and open for public access.

Simonds Rock, Merrimack
Simonds Rock is an unusual resource on the New Hampshire State Register.  Credited by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as being the second largest glacial boulder reported in New Hampshire, Simonds Rock measures about 50 feet long, more than 30 feet high and more than 25 feet long.  Only the Madison Boulder is larger. Given the rock’s composition of Massabesic Gneiss, the USGS estimates that it was carried to its current location by a glacier from a site about five miles to the northwest.  Simonds Rock derives its historical importance as a landmark for land surveyors and travelers along Pennichuck Brook and the Merrimack River for hundreds of years.  It has also provided legendary inspiration for writers and storytellers through time.  Today Simonds Rock is owned by the Southwood Corporation, a company of the Pennichuck Corporation.

New Castle Congregational Church, New Castle
The New Castle Congregational Church is the only ecclesiastical building in this small town and has served as a focus of community life since it was built in 1828.  Research shows that the master builder, Thomas F. Foye, and the finish carpenter, Andrew B. Vennard, drew inspiration for its construction from the design books of architect Asher Benjamin and the appearance of St. John’s Church, located upriver in Portsmouth.  Today, both the exterior and interior of the church remain largely unaltered, well-cared for by the congregation for close to 200 years.

Odiorne Homestead, Rye
An estuarine farm since the 1600s, the Odiorne Homestead illustrates some of the most significant aspects of New Hampshire history: use by American Indians, the first European settlement in the state, tidewater farming, and coastal defense during World War II.  Buildings and landscape features on the farm today include a c.1800 farmhouse, a barn and greenhouse, an ancient well and cemetery, old roads, salt marsh, stone walls, a World War II era storage building for TNT, and acres of re-forested farmland.  The property serves as the southeast headquarters for the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation, Department of Resources and Economic Development.

Governor Wentworth State Historic Site, Wolfeboro
In 1768, New Hampshire’s last royal governor, Governor John Wentworth of Portsmouth, began clearing a 6000-acre site in Wolfeboro for a summer estate.  From Wentworth’s inventory records we know that a large salaried labor force built a mansion, scores of outbuildings, a game reserve, mills and a landing on Lake Wentworth.  Wentworth fled New Hampshire on the eve of the Revolution, and his estate was seized and later sold at auction.  The mansion house burned in 1820.  In 1933, historian Lawrence Shaw Mayo gave the core of the estate – 96 acres – to the state.  Today, the town of Wolfeboro prides itself on being the oldest summer resort in America, and the Department of Resources and Economic Development and the Friends of the Governor Wentworth State Historic Site care for the property.

Sawyer Tavern, Keene
The Sawyer Tavern served West Keene as a public house from 1806 to 1843, and again from 1922 to about 1950. As it stands today, it is a well-preserved example of an early 19th century inn, and an important reminder of the architecture and lifestyle of early 19th century New England.

Head Chapel and Cemetery, Hooksett
Originally an 1839 school, the Head Chapel was remodeled in 1922 to serve as a chapel for the cemetery, which has been in use since 1800. The chapel was a model school, being not only one of the most substantial schools in the area and representative of local brick manufacturing, but also remains one of the most intact one-room schoolhouses left in the region.

Indian Stream Schoolhouse, Pittsburg
Constructed in 1897, the one-room schoolhouse stands as an intact and well-preserved example of public architecture as applied in an isolated, rural setting. Local records and this solidly-built structure testify to the importance of education in this isolated community.

Stone Memorial Building, Weare
Designed by New Hampshire architect William Butterfield in 1896, the Stone Memorial building is a significant example of Neo-Classical style in a village setting. The building was constructed with money donated by Joseph Stone in honor of his father, Phineas J. Stone, and would “provide suitable room for a public town library, and a room for … memorials for the soldiers in the late ‘War of the Rebellion,’ so called between the North and the South” as well as providing town office space.

(no photo) Prominent citizen Arah W. Prescott donated the funds to build the town library in 1909, and designed the building himself. Completed in 1910, the building and the institution it houses have contributed significantly to the education of the citizens of Hooksett.

Allenstown Public Library, Allenstown
Erected circa 1934-35 by Works Progress Administration workers, this Colonial Revival structure is the only building in Allenstown constructed expressly as a library. The design by Harold, Homes, Owen, Inc. has well served the community for more than 70 years.

Hooksett Village Bridge (aka Lilac Bridge), Hooksett
Known locally as the “Lilac Bridge,” this 1909 structure is one of the state’s nine surviving metal truss bridges designed by engineer John William Storrs, the only bridge design specialist in the state in the early 20th century. The three-high-span truss bridges an important crossing of the Merrimack River, first bridged after 1804 by the proprietors of the Londonderry Turnpike.

Thomas Farm, Rindge
This property is comprised of 130 acres of woodland, pasture, gardens and orchards. Its buildings include the 1771 Nathaniel Thomas House, a significant example of Georgian style, and the 1839 George Thomas house. Five generations of the Thomas family lived on and farmed the property from 1771 until 1931.

Lisbon Railroad Station, Lisbon
This circa 1875 station was constructed by the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad. The depot retains distinctive architectural details, reminiscent of the Eastlake style, and played a significant role in the history of transportation and commerce in the White Mountains.

Marelli's Market, Hampton
First constructed circa 1841 on Exeter Road, it was moved to its current location in 1900 when the commercial center of Hampton shifted to what is now Route 1. In 1914, Luigi and Celestina Marelli established a market selling primarily produce and candies. Over the years, Marelli’s has been a purveyor of fine foods, produce, and candies, an institution in the business district and a rare survivor of the small village markets that were once so plentiful. It is the longest continually operating business in Hampton Center.

Rolfe Family Historic District, Concord
This district is part of the former Nathaniel Rolfe Farm, the first established settlement in this section of Penacook. This collection of buildings provides a rare example of a double English barn, an excellent Greek Revival house, a Queen Anne house, and an unusual example of late 18th century building construction.

Kelley's Corner School, Gilmanton
Authorized in 1778, this one-room school house served the community as a school for more than 100 years. It is still used as a community building, holding an important place in the social life of the community, and is a sole survivor of this building type in the town of Gilmanton.

Bartlett Engine House, Bartlett
Constructed in 1887 by the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad, this building soon became a hub for the Mountain Division of the Maine Central Railroad. The locomotives kept in Bartlett assisted trains over the grade leading to Crawford Notch, opening the White Mountains to tourism and logging, thereby transforming the region’s economy.

Pelham Library and Memorial Building, Pelham
In 1896, citizens committed tax money for the construction of this building, which was erected to house town functions, serve as a memorial to Civil War soldiers and honor the 150th anniversary of the town’s incorporation. This was Pelham’s first and only library until 2003. It has served an important role in the town’s development.

(no photo) Francestown Mill Village Historic District, Francestown. This collection of 10 houses was built to support the once-thriving mill district. Most of the houses in this district date from the 1820s, when a soapstone mill was constructed to support what was then the most important industry in Francestown. Six of the 10 owners have chosen to have their properties listed within this recognized district.

(no photo) Francestown Main Street Historic District, Francestown. At the center of the village that was founded in 1772 and named for Frances (Deering) Wentworth, wife of Governor Wentworth, this district includes both the commercial and residential districts surrounding Main Street, and consists of 44 total properties. Twenty-seven property owners have chosen to have their properties listed within this recognized district.

(no photo) Bennington Village Historic District, Bennington. This district is an excellent example of a residential community that developed around a small industrial center, once a typical growth pattern in New Hampshire communities. Paper manufacturing, which began in Bennington in 1819, became the dominant industry in the 1920s and continues today at the Mondadnock Paper Company. The district contains 130 properties; 36 property owners have chosen to have their properties listed within this recognized district.

Upper Village Hall, Derry.
Built in 1875, this town hall has served as the site of town meeting, the town’s first library, a grange hall and a fire station, among other uses. Built in the Italianate style, this building has been the political center of town since its construction.

Harbor House Livery/Sunapee Town Hall, Sunapee.
Built circa 1889, this building originally served the vital tourist trade around Lake Sunapee as a livery stable attached to the Harbor House hotel. It has since served as town hall, fire station and police station, showing the adaptability of its historic construction and the thrift of town citizens.

James M. Perkins House, Sunapee.
This 1890 house is a well-preserved, if late, example of a Victorian-era Second Empire-style house, with a mansard roof, canted bays on the corners and elegant sawn scroll work details.

Kentlands, New London.
This summer home near the Little Lake Sunapee region was designed by Prentice Sanger in 1908-1909 for his parents. The property exemplifies the summer house movement and is notable for its architecture.

Stoddard Town Hall, Stoddard.
Constructed in 1868, it has served as the center of the town’s civic life for 140 years. It is an excellent example of a simple Greek Revival town building.

Thayer Public Library, Winchester (Ashuelot).
This building was constructed in 1823 as a Greek Revival-style home. In 1902, Julia Thayer, philanthropist and wife of a mill owner, renovated the home into a library for the people of her hometown.

Gregg-Montgomery House, Francestown.
Built between 1773 and 1778, this Georgian-Federal transitionalist style house is a significant example of residential architecture. Throughout its history, its owners have been prominent in agriculture and medicine.

Robert Lane Farm House/R.P. Caggett Farm, Newport.
This well-preserved 18th century home, built circa 1782, is one of the earliest extant houses in Newport. Located on Unity Road, a main thoroughfare at the time, it is a Colonial building with small additions in later revival styles, notably two porches.

Blair Covered Bridge, Campton. This Long truss bridge was built in 1870 and is the only surviving New Hampshire example of Lt. Col. Stephen Harriman Long’s patent design of 1830, one of the first engineered truss designs.

Old Town Hall, Salem. This center of community life in Salem for over 200 years is also a well-preserved example of a colonial building renovated in the Colonial Revivial and Medieval “arts and crafts” styles by Edward Searles and prominent architect Henry Vaughn.

Hooksett Town House/Town Hall, Hooksett. The well-charted history of this somewhat altered town house is a physical record of the town meeting democracy. Every aspect and change of this structure went to a vote of the townspeople, making it a truly New Hampshire resource.
