nrhp # 11000812- otel Greenfield is a boutique hotel located in Greenfield, Iowa, United States. Designed by architect William Gordon, it was completed in 1920 by the Newton Construction Co. Local boosters had the hotel built for $65,000 as a replacement for the Commercial Hotel, which was located on the same spot.[2] The three-story brick structure features a symmetrical facade, round arched windows on the first floor, a projecting classical entrance with columns in the Doric order, and a denticulated brick cornice. The hotel had become dated by the 1970s, and started to decline in significance. ADCO Enterprises bought it in 2010 and renovated it. They added the adjacent Adair County Democrat-Adair County Free Press Building at the same time. It houses the restaurant, lounge, two hotel suites, and the laundry and housekeeping facilities. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1] In 2014 it was included as a contributing property in the Greenfield Public Square Historic District.

“It came about in this way. On a Monday I would be asked by H[ermon]'s mother what I had been doing on the Sabbath, and in all honesty I told her. To my answer she would quote John Bunyan's words, "A Sabbath well spent" etc. (you know the words).* That had an effect upon me for I felt a desire in my heart to be different in my ways, so I asked my friends to come to church one Sunday evening instead of playing our usual game of cricket. This they did but didn't want to come again, but I kept on going and they wondered what had come over me. Well, it was the Lord's doing in His kind providence for it was the beginning of things for my future good, bringing me first to where He would have me to be to perform His gracious purposes, as we sing in our beautiful hymn 61 in Gadsby's.”
[From Thomas Melling's “A Testimony to God's Mercy” in The Gospel Standard Vol 155/No. 1850 (September 1989)]
Henry Hitchen, a collier of Hill House Farm, Winstanley, and Mary Jane Anderton, a factory operative of Bell Lane, Orrell, were married at the Church of St John The Divine, Pemberton, on 14 December 1889. The 1901 census found them living at the Quaker Cottages opposite Gladden Hey Farm, North Ashton, with son Hermon (then aged 5) and daughter Martha (2).** Another daughter, Mary, and another son, Thomas, were born at Quaker Cottages in 1901 and 1904 respectively but shortly thereafter Henry Hitchen took on the tenancy of Greenfield Farm, probably in succession to the Halsalls who had farmed there in the late 19th century. A calf given by John Bradburn of Gladden Hey Farm “helped them get established”. The 1911 census return describes 15-year-old Hermon as “worker on farm” whereas Henry continued all his working life as a miner. Later, Hermon would lease an additional plot of land at Birchley from Robert Neville.

(middle row, from left:) Mary Jane Hitchen, John (“Jack”) Holland, Leah (“Annie”) Gee (married in 1934 to Thomas Hitchen, by then a “locomotive erector” at the LMS works on the former Viaduct Foundry site -now Deacon Trading Estate- at Earlestown), Martha Holland (née Hitchen, married to Jack at St Aidan's in 1922 and here holding their youngest child, John);
(front row, from left:) Jack's and Martha's other children, Henry (“Harry”) and Mary.
Hermon wrote of his mother following her death on 11 April 1947 at the age of 82:
“She was a most humble person, always striving to keep the peace with all, especially with the members of her own family. The writer well remembers the many Scriptural injunctions she used at appropriate times and how she would give a word of warning when I was minded to go to worldly amusements... For the last four years she attended Haydock Strict Baptist Chapel. A few weeks before her death she said verse 1 of hymn 471 was her concern: "Prepare me, gracious God, To stand before Thy face; Thy Spirit must the work perform, For it is all of grace". She also said she had a desire to sit at the Lord's Table. This I feel sure she has gone to do for ever”.***
Henry Hitchen died on 21 November 1947.
*“A Sabbath well spent brings a week of content, And peace with the gains of the morrow; But a Sabbath profaned, whate'er may be gained, Is a certain forerunner of sorrow”. The verse is usually attributed to Lord Chief Justice Sir Matthew Hale (1609-1676); I cannot find any instance of it in Bunyan's writings.
**Other researchers should note that the surname is given as “Kitchen” on the 1901 census transcript at familysearch.org. For information about the Quaker Cottages including a photograph of the site in 2013 and a sketch of the premises c.1840 see my “Sandyforth Farm Walks” album.

Greenfield grist mill on the Nith river in the community of Greenfield, off Greenfield road on the outskirts of Ayr, North Dumfries township, Waterloo region, Ontario. This mill was built by David Goldie in 1865 of fieldstone and was originally four storeys tall. The two additional brick storeys you see were added on in the 1890's. The mill had seven runs of stone driven by a turbine water wheel. You can still see the turbine housing in the red shed in the middle. The millrace and pond are also still there. The mill was purported to once produce the finest flour in Ontario and once had a railway going by it. And yes, David Goldie was related to the Goldies' who ran the mill in Guelph. The mill is now occupied by Jad Vent Distributors who sell farm supplies and ventilation equipment.

As noted, this fine specimen of the Queen Anne style appears to be under restoration based on older streetviews. I love the eyebrow window seen in the side gable. I imagine the interior is just as interesting as the exterior. It's probably a design by an Indianapolis architect unless Greenfield had local design talent when this house was built. (1890's)
