Haverhill Academy (1897)
From its central location in the Haverhill Corner National Register Historic District this Romanesque style brick building overlooks the village commons with their well-preserved 19th C. homes. An earlier 19th C. school (now connected by a 4,300sq.ft.1968 addition to be demolished by buyer) is being restored as a history museum. The nearby Grafton County courthouse (1846) is now a regional cultural center. Many village residents (pop. 400) commute to Hanover/Lebanon. Sweeping views of the Connecticut River valley with Vermont hills to the west and the White Mountains to the east enhance the setting.

Set on a 1.7acre lot, its 3 stories plus ½ level above ground basement structure with granite foundation contains about 7,600 sq. ft.

E.J. Hayward House
Built in 1904 by a prominent banker, this three-story brick home was the finest ever built in Crittenden County. Patterned after a now restored home on the National Register (Rockcliff Mansion in Hannibal, Missouri), the Hayward House with 5,000 square feet per floor included a ballroom, carriage entrance, slate roof, clay tennis court, and a full basement with 12 ft. high ceilings. Situated in a residential area on a 1 ¾ acre wooded site in the Renaissance District two blocks from town center and across the street from Fohs Hall, the town's historic performing arts building, this property is uniquely versatile and could be restored as a home, commercial office, public building, luxury condominiums, inn or bed and breakfast.
Although structurally sound, the building, vacant for more than 15 years, is in need of extensive renovation having been used as a high school, hospital and apartment building. Hardwood floors, interior doors, and elevator shaft are largely intact and some original woodwork can be restored. Tax credits and National Register-eligible. For sale by 501c3, with restrictive deed covenants and deposit sufficient to assure restoration.
