By MICHAEL KITCH, LACONIA DAILY SUNMANCHESTER — Two landmarks in Belknap County — the Benjamin M. Smith Memorial Library in Meredith and the Kelley Corner School in Gilmanton — were among the "Seven to Save" list of endangered historic buildings announced by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance on Tuesday. The Meredith Public LibraryThe listing of the Meredith Public Library follows the decision of the board of trustees of the library in May to construct a new library at another location. She closed by strongly urging the library trustees to reconsider their decision. Kelley Corner SchoolThe Kelley Corner School in Lower Gilmanton was built in 1778, the first of 18 schoolhouses dotted about town at one time and the only one of them still standing. But, in the last decade , a revived Lower Gilmanton Community Club has turned its attention to the Kelley Corner School and secured it a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
