>> Forest House, located in an unknown town in Cheshire County, NH. Forest House, Marlow, NH "Russell Huntley erected the Forest House [in 1835], which was afterwards remodeled and became the [public] house owned by G.A. Petts and G.H. Messer. It was kept open only a few years." – searchroots A third story was added later.

Great! Thanks for the identification! Keene Public Library

Behind the Forest House is the Tin Shop - both were destroyed by the August 1916 fire. The Christian Church (now Jones Hall) is in the background. Tracy Messer Peterborough, NH

Thanks Tracy! Good information.

>> Odd Fellows Hall in an unknown town in Cheshire County, NH.

Could this be the Odd Fellows Hall (formerly Marlow Academy) in Marlow?

"Marlow, NH (2006)"            by Sasafrass



A larger view of the Odd Fellows Hall, by Timothy Tray, is available here.

Selected notes on the building:
"In 1841, the South Marlow Academy Association, led by Reverend Amos Tenney, was formed to raise money to build a permanent home for their school. On June 3rd of that year the group purchased a ten rods by ten rods square tract of land on a knoll overlooking the village pond. Soon afterwards, they began construction on the two-story white-clapboard structure which still stands there today. Although the identity of the architect and builder are uncertain, we do know that the Academy building was intentionally designed with two front doors to provide separate entrances for the male and female students.

"The Odd Fellows officially purchased the Academy building on September 5, 1891 for the sum of $600." – www.marlow-nh.org/Clubs_Organizations/I.O.O.F/ioof.htm
