Gov. John Butler Smith House The Gov. John Butler Smith House, also now known as the Community Building, is a historic house at 62 School Street in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. The large Queen Anne Victorian is significant as one of few known residential works of a prolific New Hampshire architect, William M. Butterfield, and as the home of John Butler Smith, a principal owner of the local Contoocook Mills, who also served as Governor of New Hampshire 1893-95. This house began as a two-story Italianate structure built in 1866, which was extended with a mansard roof in 1885. Smith hired Butterfield to make major modifications in 1892, rotating the 1866 house and moving it back on the lot, and then adding the front section of the house, more than doubling its size. The interior, like the exterior, is lavishly appointed with woodwork. The property also includes a carriage house built in 1892. Smith's heirs donated the building to the town of Hillsborough, which has converted into town offices, library, and a community meeting space.

West Pleasant Street Historic District The West Pleasant Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Maquoketa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. At the time of its nomination it contained 50 resources, which included 29 contributing buildings, 21 non-contributing buildings, and one non-contributing site. The historic district is primarily a residential area that was built during Maquoketa's "Boom Years" (1873-1899) and the "Comfortable Years" (1900-1922). The first house built in the district was in 1863 and the last was in 1914. This is where many of the city's business and professional leaders choose to build their houses. Most of the 28 houses were probably not designed by an architect, but were crafted in the "High Style" of the time by local builders. With the exception of Greek Revival, all the major styles of the period built in Maquoketa are found here. Eight of the houses and one of the three remaining carriage houses are brick structures; the rest are wood.
