The Knight–Mangum House is a historic house located in Provo, Utah, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mansion was built in the old English Tudor style, completed in 1908. It was built for Mr. W. Lester Mangum and his wife Jennie Knight Mangum. Mrs. Mangum was the daughter of the famous Utah mining man, Jesse Knight. The lot was purchased for $3,500 and the home was built at a cost of about $40,000. The Mangum family was able to afford the home due to the fact that they had sold their shares in Jesse Knight's mine located in Tintic, Utah, for eight dollars a share. They had purchased the shares for only twenty cents a share, so the excess allowed them enough funds to purchase the home. The contractors for the home were the Alexandis Brothers of Provo.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Moore Farm and Twitchell Mill Site</span> United States historic place

The Moore Farm and Twitchell Mill Site is a historic property on Page Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The 6.8-acre (2.8 ha) property includes an early 19th-century farmhouse, as well as the remnants of one of Dublin's earliest industrial sites. It lies just south of a bend in Page Road in southern Dublin, where Stanley Brook runs east-west along the south side of the road. In c. 1768 Samuel Twitchell, Dublin's second settler, built a sawmill that used Stanley Brook as its power source. This mill was the second established in what is now Dublin, after that of Eli Morse. It was used until the mid-19th century, and now only its foundations remain. The farmhouse of Samuel Moore was built in a glen on the south side of the brook c. 1812, and was a vernacular Cape style farmhouse. The farm was purchased in 1935 by William and Katherine Mitchell Jackson, and the house was moved about 100 yards (91 m) to the top of a rise where it has commanding views of Mount Monadnock. The house was restored and enlarged under the guidance of architects Bradley & Church and again renovated in 1951. The farm complex includes a barn that is contemporaneous to the house, and a caretaker's cottage that is a 1952 reconstruction of an earlier one destroyed by fire.
