St. James Episcopal Church (Cambridge, Massachusetts)

St. James's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church at 1991 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The parish was founded in 1864 as a mission from Christ Church. The Richardsonian Romanesque building was built in 1888–89 to a design by Henry M. Congdon. The church was built on the site of the Davenport Tavern, a landmark that had stood on that site since c. 1757 (a portion of which was relocated to Somerville, where it still stands). The church reported 718 members in 2015 and 781 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $255,450 with average Sunday attendance (ASA) of 74 persons.

Staples-Crafts-Wiswall Farm

The Deacon John Staples House (also known as the Staples-Crafts-Wiswall Farm) is a historic house at 1615 Beacon Street in the village of Waban in Newton, Massachusetts. The first house on the site was built in 1688 by Deacon John Staples, a weaver and Newton's first schoolmaster. Staples and his wife had no children of their own, but raised several boys including Moses Craft, a relative of Mrs. Staples. When the Deacon died, Craft inherited the property. Craft rebuilt the house on the original foundation around 1750, constructing a colonial farmhouse two and a half stories high with five windows and two rooms across, and one room wide, with two chimneys running up the back, each serving two rooms. In 1768, he built an addition, adding a kitchen where the original Staples' house kitchen had been. Craft died in 1821 at the age of 85, leaving no will and an estate seriously in debt. As ordered by the judge of probate, the house and surrounding land was sold at auction. Moses' son, Moses Craft II, won with the winning bid of $5.50. In 1824, Moses Craft II sold the property to his cousin William Wiswall. It is believed that Wiswall was responsible for remodeling the house to give it a Federal ornament. David Kinmonth, a Boston merchant, bought the house in 1858 and remodeled it, giving Victorian overtones to its basic Georgian style. The house was remodeled again during the American Civil War. Ownership of the house changed hands many times during the 20th century. It was last sold in 2017 to a non-profit community music school, the Suzuki School of Newton and Suzuki Preschool, and continues to be an icon in the heart of Waban Village. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as the Staples-Craft-Wiswall Farm and in 2015 was designated a City of Newton Local Landmark. Despite the many modifications that it has undergone, the house stands today on the original 1688 stone foundation, which is up to one meter thick in some places.

Stavros Reservation

Stavros Reservation ist ein 74 Acres (29,9 ha) umfassendes Naturschutzgebiet bei der Stadt Essex im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wird von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet. Schutzgebiet Mit etwa 50 Acres (20,2 ha) besteht der größte Teil des Schutzgebiets aus Salzwiesen, jedoch ist es verbreitet aufgrund des Whites Hill bekannt. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Drumlin, von dem aus eine hervorragende Sicht auf die Umgebung – insbesondere zum Castle Hill, Crane Beach, Crane Wildlife Refuge und zum Halibut Point – besteht. Ein etwa 0,75 mi (1,2 km) langer Rundweg führt auf den Hügel hinauf und dort zu einer weitläufigen Freifläche, auf der sich die Überreste der steinernen Grundmauern eines ehemals 50 ft (15,2 m) hohen Turms befinden, der in den 1880er Jahren von Lamont G. Burnham errichtet worden war. Der dreistöckige Turm wurde mutmaßlich als Pumpstation für die Farm von Burnham genutzt, jedoch gibt es ebenfalls Hinweise darauf, dass er dort einen Wachposten stationiert hatte, der nach Burnhams Schiffen Ausschau hielt, die Kohle nach Newburyport transportierten. Sobald diese den Halibut Point umrundeten, gab der Wachposten Burnham Bescheid, der daraufhin mit einem schnellen Pferd in die Stadt ritt, um den Verkaufspreis für seine Fracht festzulegen.

T.U. Lyon House

The T.U. Lyon House is a historic house at 9 Warren Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The modest 1+1⁄2-story Greek Revival house was built c. 1850 for T.U. Lyon, a shoe cutter. At the time of its construction Warren Street had been supplanted as the major north–south road through Stoneham by the Medford-Andover Turnpike (now Main Street, Massachusetts Route 28). Most of its distinctive Greek Revival features, including corner pilasters and a larger-than-typical frieze, have been lost due to recent residing of the exterior (see photo). The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Theodore W. Richards House

The Theodore W. Richards House is a National Historic Landmark at 15 Follen Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1900, it was the home until his death of Theodore William Richards (1868–1928), the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Richards was a leading experimental chemist of his day, measuring (as precisely as instruments of the day permitted) the atomic weights of a large number of elements. He was also responsible for the growth of Harvard University's graduate chemistry program to one of the finest in the nation. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Description and history The Richards House was nominally designed by Warren, Smith & Biscoe of Boston, but Richards made specific demands in the design. It is a two-story structure, using steel beams as its principal supports, one of Richards' requests. The ground floor exterior walls consist of five courses of brick, with seaweed sandwiched between the courses in a bid to provide improved insulation to the structure. The second floor of the house is clad in shingles. The main facade is three bays wide, with a symmetrical appearance. The main entry is accessed by a walk lined with brick walls the join to the house walls. The entry, recessed into the brick wall, is flanked by sidelight windows. The outside of the recess is framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and a segmented-arch pediment. Above the entrance is a Palladian window, which rises into an eyebrow gable on the modillioned roofline. The first-floor bays flanking the entry are both projecting polygonal bays with four sash windows, and there are paired sash windows above them on the second floor. Two decoratively corbelled chimneys pierce the roof. The house interior follows a typical central-hall plan. Theodore Richards was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1868, educated at home, and then at Haverford College and Harvard University, where he received his PhD in chemistry in 1888. From an early time he was interested in the question of atomic weights, a subject that he would study for most of his professional career. After his graduation he became an instructor at Harvard, eventually gaining promotion to full professor in 1901. He successfully recalculated the atomic weights of a number of chemical elements, developing methodology and apparatus along the way. Richards became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1914, in recognition for this work. Richards' teaching was equally important, as he trained new generations of chemists in the practices and methods he used. Harvard established an honorary chemistry professorship in his name in 1925. Richards' house, occupied by him until his death in 1928, and his widow until hers in 1941, was designated a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is a contributing element to the Follen Street Historic District, listed in 1986.

Veckatimest Island

Veckatimest Island is one of the Elizabeth Islands, part of the town of Gosnold in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. It used to be known as "East Buck." The island has a land area of 0.0675 square kilometres (0.0261 sq mi; 16.7 acres) and was uninhabited as of the 2000 census. The island received further recognition after Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear named their third studio album after it. The band's founding member, Ed Droste, is connected to the Forbes family, who own Naushon Island, through his mother Diana Forbes. History Veckatimest Island, formerly known as "East Buck" to some, was claimed as one of the many Elizabeth Islands by the colonist and explorer, Bartholomew Gosnold, in 1602. Prior to Gosnold's arrival, the islands were used by the local indigenous population, specifically the Wampanoag peoples. According to a history of the area collected by Amelia Forbes Emerson, notable structures built on the island include Veckatimest House, built by Dorothea Hughes Simmons in 1932, and Veckatimest Barn, of an uncertain origin, but remodeled and made habitable in 1947.

Ward Reservation

Ward Reservation ist der Name eines 704 Acres (2,8 km²) umfassenden Naturschutzgebiets auf den Stadtgebieten von Andover und North Andover im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wird von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet. Schutzgebiet Im Zentrum des Schutzgebiets befindet sich mit dem 420 ft (128 m) aufragenden Holt Hill der höchste Punkt im gesamten Essex County. Der Hügel wurde nach Nicholas Holt benannt, der dort in der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts siedelte. Die heute noch existente Holt Farm ist im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Am 17. Juni 1775, zu Beginn des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs, erklommen Einwohner der Umgebung den Hügel, um von dort das brennende Charlestown zu beobachten. 1940 übereignete Mabel Ward die ersten 153 Acres (0,6 km²) ihres Grundbesitzes an die Trustees, die das Schutzgebiet nach ihr benannten. In der Folge wurden der Organisation von der Familie nach und nach weitere Grundstücke geschenkt, so dass es heute fast 3 km² umfasst. Die rund 10 mi (16,1 km) Wanderwege im Schutzgebiet, die teilweise zum Bay Circuit Trail gehören, verbinden die drei Hügel Shrub, Boston und Holt miteinander. Am höchsten Punkt des Holt Hill stehen die sogenannten „Solstice Stones“ (deutsch Steine der Sonnenwende), die einem Kompass gleich die Kardinalpunkte der Winter- und Sommersonnenwende sowie die Äquinoktialpunkte im Frühjahr und Herbst darstellen. Im Schutzgebiet befindet sich darüber hinaus ein seltenes Schwingmoor, in dem unter anderem Orchideen und Fleischfressende Pflanzen gedeihen.

The Ward Reservation offers 13 miles (21 km) of trails and former woods roads available for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross country skiing; it is also a link in the 200-mile (320 km) Bay Circuit Trail system. Geography and recreation The Ward Reservation contains hayfields, hilltops, wetlands, creeks, swamps, and woodlands. Colonial era stone walls on the property, when combined, total more than 17 miles (27 km) long. Hills on the reservation include Shrub Hill, Boston Hill, and the 420-foot (130 m) Holt Hill drumlin, named for the 17th-century settlement of Nicholas Holt, which offers 280 degree views of Boston, Salem, and the Blue Hills. An arrangement of "solstice stones" on the summit mark annual solstice and equinox events. Pine Hole Bog, a rare quaking bog located on the property is accessed via a 700-foot (210 m) boardwalk; The Trustees of Reservations provides an interpretive brochure for the bog at trailhead kiosks. A network of trails span the Ward Reservation, most notably the Bay Circuit trail which forms a 200-mile (320 km) arc around metropolitan Boston through suburbs west of the city. The trail passes over Holt Hill. A main reservation trailhead and parking area is located on Prospect Road in Andover. There is also access and parking at Brightview on Turnpike Street in North Andover via Boston Hill. History The Ward Reservation's original acreage was donated by Mrs. Charles W. Ward in 1940 in memory of her husband. Additional lands were given by the Ward family and other donors in at least twelve gifts from 1944 to 1999. Other parcels were purchased between 1958 and 1978. Parts of the reservation, including some parcels it surrounds, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Holt Farm. A fire tower was built at the top of Holt Hill in 1924. The current tower was built in 1970. It is in active use, but is not open to the public. Some time in between 2005–2013, the Johnston family sold their inherited land from Grey Road to earlier reservation land. Mary, Chuck, and Joe all sold their land to the reservation, and generously added to the governmental land for a very cheap price. The land was officially sold, and the Johnston root can still be seen in the houses and family ties in Andover.
