Norwood-Hyatt House

The Norwood-Hyatt House is a historic house at 704 Washington Street in the Gloucester, Massachusetts. It is notable as one of the oldest houses in Gloucester, and for its association with Alpheus Hyatt, who did research in marine biology here before establishing the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole. The oldest part of the house is estimated to have been built in 1664 for Francis Norwood, a mariner and early settler of Gloucester. It remained in the hands of Norwood family descendants until 1879, when Cape Ann Bank took the house by foreclosure. It was acquired that year by Audella Hyatt, wife of Alpheus Hyatt. In 1880 Hyatt used the property as a base for marine research, but abandoned that use, finding it unsuitable, after one season. It was owned by descendants of the Hyatts until 1987. The construction history of the house has not been researched in detail. It is a 2.5-story wood-frame structure, with its earliest framing members showing evidence of 17th century construction methods. It was repeatedly expanded, particularly during the Norwood family's ownership, to reach its present configuration. The main block of the house is five window bays wide, and there is a two-story ell added on to the west side (probably in the early 19th century), and several shed-style additions on the northwest part of the house. The foundation is mainly mortared stone, but the eastern wall is made of brick. The interior of the house has significant features that remain from the 17th and 18th centuries. Many original fireplaces and mantels survive, although most of the fireplaces have been covered over. There are wide pine floors, and the walls and woodwork show many examples of 18th and 19th century construction techniques. Many of the walls were painted with artwork, largely by Audella Hyatt. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Casa Norwood-Hyatt

A Casa Norwood-Hyatt é uma casa histórica localizada na 704 Washington Street, em Gloucester, Massachusetts. É notável como uma das casas mais antigas de Gloucester e por sua associação com Alpheus Hyatt, que realizou pesquisas em biologia marinha na casa antes de estabelecer o Marine Biological Laboratory em Woods Hole. A casa foi listada como um edífico no Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos em 26 de outubro de 2000. História Estima-se que a parte mais antiga da casa tenha sido construída em 1664 por Francis Norwood, um marinheiro e um dos primeiros colonos de Gloucester. Permaneceu nas mãos dos descendentes da família Norwood até 1879, quando o Cape Ann Bank assumiu a casa. Foi adquirida naquele ano por Audella Hyatt, esposa de Alpheus Hyatt. Em 1880, Hyatt usou a propriedade como base para a pesquisa marinha, mas abandonou esse uso, achando-o inadequado, após uma temporada. Foi de propriedade de descendentes dos Hyatts até 1987. Arquitetura É uma estrutura de madeira de 2,5 andares, com suas bases estruturais mais antigas mostrando evidências dos métodos de construção do século XVII. Foi repetidamente expandida, especialmente quando ainda era propriedade da família Norwood, até alcançar sua configuração atual. O quarteirão principal da casa tem cinco compartimentos de janelas, e há um prédio de dois andares no lado oeste — possivelmente datado do início do século 19. A fundação é principalmente de argamassas, mas a parede oriental é feita de tijolos. O interior da casa possui características significativas remanescentes dos séculos XVII e XVIII. Muitas lareiras e cornijas originais sobrevivem, embora a maioria das lareiras tenha sido coberta. Existem amplos pisos de madeira, e as paredes e a carpintaria mostram muitos exemplos das técnicas de construção dos séculos XVIII e XIX. Muitas das paredes foram pintadas com obras de arte, em grande parte por Audella Hyatt.

Norwood Memorial Municipal Building

Norwood Memorial Municipal Building (Norwood Town Hall) is a historic building located in Norwood, Massachusetts, United States. The Late Gothic Revival building was dedicated November 11, 1928, and is made of Weymouth seamed-face granite. The building's construction was approved May 26, 1926 at a special town meeting when Norwood's citizens unanimously voted to appropriate $265,000. Inside the building are several brass plaques in remembrance of all veterans from Norwood. Visitors often mistake it for a church or believe it to have been a church, but it never was; its stained-glass windows depict not saints, but local patriot Aaron Guild. "Guild", whose name appears in local street and building names, is pronounced with a long i, like the second syllable of the word "beguiled". Guild's significance is explained by an inscription on the Aaron Guild Memorial Stone, dedicated in 1903, which stands outside the Norwood public library. The inscription reads: NEAR THIS SPOT CAPT. AARON GUILD ON APRIL 19, 1775 LEFT PLOW IN FURROW, OXEN STANDING AND DEPARTING FOR LEXINGTON ARRIVED IN TIME TO FIRE UPON THE RETREATING BRITISH. Guild and his oxen are featured in the town seal. The building includes a 50-bell carillon tower housing the Walter F. Tilton Memorial Carillon, one of nine carillons in Massachusetts and the seventh-largest in the United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Norfolk County, Massachusetts References
Norwood Memorial Airport

Norwood Memorial Airport (IATA: OWD, ICAO: KOWD, FAA LID: OWD) is a public airport 2 mi (1.7 nmi; 3.2 km) east of Norwood, in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States. It is home to the offices of prominent local business people and several maintenance facilities. History In 1941, Norwood was considered for the site of the state's auxiliary airport. However, the legislative committee on military affairs and public safety chose Bedford, Massachusetts instead due to flooding that kept the proposed site under water for a considerable amount of time the previous spring. In 1942, a Norwood town meeting approved the construction of the Norwood Airport on 400 acres northeast of the Boston Metropolitan Airport. The airport would be built at the cost of the federal government and be available for national defense needs. From 1942 to 1945, the airfield was a Naval Outlying Landing Field of Naval Air Station Squantum. It was used by student pilots to gain flight experience on its two 4,000 ft (1,200 m) runways. In 1946, the United States Department of War turned over the airport to the town of Norwood. The airport was renamed the Norwood Memorial Airport in memory of Norwood residents who died in World War II. That same year, Wiggins Airways moved from Boston Metropolitan Airport in Canton to Norwood. Wiggins established regular passenger, cargo, and mail routes, operated a flight school, offered charter services, and maintained its parts and repair facilities at Norwood Memorial Airport. Wiggins remained at Norwood until 2001, when the economic effects of the September 11 attacks forced it end operations at the airport. Facilities Norwood Memorial Airport covers 688 acres (278 ha) and has two runways: 17/35: 4,007 ft × 100 ft (1,221 m × 30 m), asphalt 10/28: 3,995 ft × 75 ft (1,218 m × 23 m), asphalt In the year ending January 31, 2020 the airport had 58,628 aircraft operations, an average of 161 per day: 91% general aviation, 9% air taxi and less than 1% military. In April 2022, there were 101 aircraft based at this airport: 72 single-engine, 9 multi-engine, 7 jet and 13 helicopter. The airport has three flight schools and Flight Level Aviation as an FBO. Charter services operate commonly out of the airport. Due to federal budget cuts the air traffic control tower was to close in 2013, but FAA funding was restored before closure took place. Airline and destinations Incidents On 4 June 2007 a Mooney M-20-P crashed into the woods south of the airport while on final approach. One person was killed. In March 2010 the airport was temporarily closed due to severe flooding.

Notre Dame Academy (Hingham, Massachusetts)

Notre Dame Academy is a private, all-girls Roman Catholic high school in Hingham, Massachusetts. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. History Notre Dame Academy (NDA), sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, is the oldest Catholic day academy for girls in New England. Located in Hingham, MA since 1965, it has its roots in two earlier academies: Notre Dame Academy, Boston (Lancaster Street, Berkeley Street, the Fenway, Granby Street) begun in 1853, and Notre Dame Academy, Roxbury, opened in 1854. Sisters of Notre Dame traveled to the east coast from Cincinnati to found the academies. The Boston Academy began in a simple wooden structure (Lancaster Street) and, within ten years, the flourishing school needed to move to a larger facility. For the next fifty years, the academy radiated a strong religious and intellectual influence from its Berkeley Street campus. As the area became a booming industrial center in the city, it was no longer conducive for the Academy and so the school moved once again. In 1916, the school moved to 400 The Fenway and, by 1919, shared the location with the new Emmanuel College. As the college grew, the Academy moved once again, to Granby Street. The Boston Academy continued to flourish at this site until 1954. Notre Dame Academy at Washington Street in the Roxbury section of Boston began in 1854 as a day school and boarding school. In 1954, the students from the Granby Street School joined the students at the Roxbury campus and there was one Academy in the city. As the city changed and the needs of the South Shore increased, the school relocated to the present Hingham campus. Today, to meet the needs of the current student body, NDA is rebuilding at the Hingham campus and expanding its facilities. For over 155 years, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and their lay colleagues have provided a college preparatory education to young women, encompassing the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development of their students. Campus The school is located on a 68-acre (280,000 m2) campus. The academic building consists of a chapel, auditorium, classrooms, science labs, art rooms, music and choral rooms, library, computer labs, the Maribeth Merrigan Multi Media Learning Center, guidance center, gymnasium, cafeteria, offices, and meeting rooms. The campus includes a memorial garden; three athletic fields for soccer, field hockey, softball, and lacrosse; an eight-lane track; and five tennis courts. Student body Students come to NDA from over 40 towns across the South Shore and surrounding areas. They travel south from Norwood, Westwood, and Boston. Some travel northeast from the Brockton area and others travel north along the Route 3 corridor from towns such as Plymouth, Kingston, and from Cape Cod. Students come from a variety of public, private and parochial schools. Tuition Tuition for the 2023-2024 academic year is $27,900.
