Annis Grain and Lumber Mill and Elevator

Daniel and Roswell Annis built the Annis Grain and Lumber Mill buildings in 1878, but they burned in 1880. Buildings were rebuilt, including a large store with flour, groceries, and grain for livestock; a building for a steam boiler to run the company's machinery; and a building for horses and storage. Tragically, another fire occurred in 1921, destroying ten buildings. Only the brick structures, including the grain elevator, survived. The area was rebuilt, but on a much smaller scale.

Londonderry Depot and Annis Mill

Located near Londonderry Depot railroad station in North Londonderry, the Annis Grain and Lumber Company was the business center of town. The company produced lumber and grain, which could then be easily transported on the railway. The company's grain elevator, the tall, square stack to the left of the buildings, stood at least five stories high. A pile of logs wait to be milled to the right of white company building. The railroad depot served passengers going north through Manchester and south through Lawrence. Trains also carried mail and railway express packages.

The Hardy Homestead

Aaron P. Hardy, son of Daniel and Sarah Hardy, owned this home. An industrious man, Hardy learned to make shoes at a young age and by 1836, at age 21, he had earned $400. He used this money to buy land and his holdings grew from 35 acres to 800 acres. Hardy married Delia W. Brickett, who helped support the family by making braided hats at home and selling them for 7 cents each. Hardy also owned two retail stores, Hardy & Pillsbury and A.P. Hardy and Son. Posing in front of the home in this picture is Mr. Chase, with his milk truck, his son, and his son's friend. The son passed away in 2010 in his 80's and was a World War II vet.
