U.S. Customhouse (Bristol County, Massachusetts)

Das United States Customhouse in ein historisches, allerdings bis heute genutztes Zollhaus in New Bedford im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wurde 1834 errichtet, befindet sich im Eigentum der Bundesregierung der Vereinigten Staaten und dient vor allem als Port of Entry. Nach umfangreichen Renovierungsarbeiten in den 1960er Jahren wurde es 1966 als Contributing Property des New Bedford Historic District anerkannt und 1970 als National Historic Landmark in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Seit 1996 ist das Gebäude zudem Bestandteil des New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. Architektur Das aus Granit im Stil des Greek Revival von Robert Mills errichtete Gebäude ist zwei Stockwerke hoch und besitzt ein Walmdach. An der Ostseite befindet sich der von einem beinahe die gesamte Gebäudefront einnehmende Portikus, dessen vier Säulen Dorischer Ordnung jeweils 7,6 Meter hoch aufragen und 70 cm im Durchmesser aufweisen. Sie tragen ein großes Giebeldreieck. Die vier Ecken des Gebäudes dienen als Pilaster. Eine mutmaßlich um 1850 hinzugefügte und als Observatorium genutzte Kuppel befand sich einst zwischen den vier Kaminen auf dem Dach des Gebäudes, ist aber heute nicht mehr existent. Historische Bedeutung Mills entwarf insgesamt vier Zollhäuser dieses Stils für zwei Bundesstaaten in Neuengland. Die drei entsprechenden Bauwerke in Middletown, Connecticut, New London, Connecticut und Newbury, Massachusetts sind nahezu identisch, während das vierte Gebäude in New Bedford das größte und architektonisch aufwendigste ist. 1789 wurde New Bedford als Standort der Verwaltung für den zehnten Zollbezirk der Vereinigten Staaten ausgewählt, dessen Haupteinnahmequelle die Walfang- und Schiffbauindustrie der Umgebung war. 1832 erhielt die Stadt die Genehmigung zum Bau eines Zollhauses für 15.000 US-Dollar (heute ca. 567.000 Dollar bzw. 494.000 Euro). Tatsächlich kostete die 1834 begonnene Errichtung mit 31.000 Dollar (heute ca. 1.172.000 Dollar bzw. 1.021.000 Euro) jedoch mehr als das Doppelte. Mit seiner exponierten Lage rund 15 Meter über der Wasserlinie war das Gebäude von Beginn an eine wichtige Landmarke der Stadt.

United States Customshouse (Barnstable, Massachusetts)

The U.S. Customshouse (now known as the Coast Guard Heritage Museum and the Donald G. Trayser Memorial Museum) is a historic customs house and United States Coast Guard museum on Cobbs Hill in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built in 1855 to a design by Ammi Young, it was used as a custom house and post office until 1913, continuing to house the post office and other offices until 1958. It was converted into a museum in 1960, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Description and history The former customshouse is set on the south side of Main Street just east of Barnstable's municipal complex. It is a two-story brick building with late Italianate styling, designed by Ammi Young and built in 1855. It has trim details of cast metal and a truncated hip roof. The building is nearly square, three bays on a side, with the front-facing bays projecting slightly. Its door and window openings have round-arch tops highlighted by light-colored trim. A line of corbeled brickwork separates the two floors, and there is more elaborate corbelling at the cornice. A carriage house with similar styling stands to the rear. The port of Barnstable was one of the busiest in Massachusetts in the 19th century. Prior to the construction of this facility, the customs collector of the U.S. Customs District of Barnstable operated from his own home. This building at first house the post office on the ground floor and the offices of the customs collector on the second floor, serving both of these roles until 1913. The upstairs offices next housed offices of the Barnstable County Extension Service. The post office moved out in 1958, and the federal government turned the building over to the town in 1960. It has served as a museum property since, currently housing the Coast Guard Museum. The Old Jail (1690) is located on the museum grounds adjacent to the customshouse after being moved from another location nearby. There is also a working blacksmith shop with daily demonstrations on the museum grounds.

The United States Post Office—Arlington Main is a historic post office in Arlington, Massachusetts. Built in 1936, this Colonial Revival brick structure is most notable for the mural in its lobby, which was painted in 1938 by William C. Palmer, with funding from the Federal Art Project. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; it had previously been included in the Arlington Center Historic District in 1985. Description and history The Arlington Post Office is set on the west side of Court Street, a narrow side street just north of Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington Center.

U.S. Post Office Greenfield Main

Als U.S. Post Office Greenfield Main ist das Postamt des United States Postal Service (bis 1971 United States Post Office Department) der Stadt Greenfield, Massachusetts, seit 1985 im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Seit 1988 ist es zugleich Contributing Property zum Main Street Historic District. Das 1915 fertiggestellte Gebäude bildet gemeinsam mit dem Franklin County Court House und der First Church of Christian Science ein Ensemble mit Bauwerken von historischer Bedeutung. Es besteht aus einem zweistöckigen Mittelteil, der 1915 das ursprüngliche Gebäude bildete, und einstöckigen seitlichen Anbauten aus dem Jahr 1939. Das Bauwerk steht auf einem Granitfundament und wurde aus Mauerwerk im englischen Verband errichtet. Zum Eingang führen breite Granitstufen mit schmiedeeisernem Geländer. Der gewölbte Eingangsbereich ist reich verziert und befindet sich in der Mitte von zwei kannelierten Pilaster-Paaren, die sich bis zur Oberkante der Fenster im ersten Stock erstrecken und ein Giebelfeld mit einem Zahnschnitt-Gesims tragen, das um das gesamte Gebäude herum verläuft und von einer Backsteinbrüstung überragt wird. Ein Gesimsband aus Stein auf Höhe der Fensterbänke im ersten Stock setzt sich als Abdeckung für die späteren eingeschossigen Anbauten fort. Der Eingang wird zudem durch freistehende gusseiserne Leuchten mit runden Glaskugeln betont, die auf Granitpfeilern zu beiden Seiten der Eingangsstufen montiert sind. Die Eingangshalle wurde 1939 vollständig verändert und renoviert, um dem Anstieg der Postaktivitäten gerecht zu werden. Dennoch spiegelt sie weiterhin – beispielsweise durch den erhaltenen Terrazzoboden – die architektonische Würde und Absicht des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes wider. Ein besonderes Merkmal der Eingangshalle ist eine Skulptur von Hélène Sardeau aus dem Jahr 1941. Das Werk besteht aus drei separat montierten Bronzefiguren im Flachrelief. Dieses Gebäude, das 1914 unter der Leitung des Supervising Architect Oscar Wenderoth entworfen wurde, spiegelt die architektonischen Ziele der damaligen Verwaltung wider, die stilistische Elemente aus der französischen Beaux-Arts-Tradition und dem Neoklassizismus bevorzugte. Es war damals üblich, kleine Postgebäude zu errichten, die das architektonisch bedeutendste Bauwerk innerhalb der Gemeinde darstellen sollten. Dieses Gebäude, das über die Jahre erhalten und durch spätere Anbauten aufgewertet wurde, erreicht durch den Einsatz von Ornamenten, Symmetrie und hochwertigen Materialien eine hervorstechende optische Erscheinung. Es ist nicht nur für die Stadt von Bedeutung, sondern steht auch exemplarisch für die damalige Baupolitik hinsichtlich Postämtern in Kleinstädten.

University Hall (Harvard University)

Die University Hall der Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts wurde Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts von Charles Bulfinch entworfen und unter der Aufsicht von Loammi Baldwin, Jr. errichtet. Das äußerlich bis heute kaum veränderte Gebäude wurde 1970 als National Historic Landmark in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen und ist seit 1973 zugleich Contributing Property zum Harvard Yard Historic District. Architektur Das dreistöckige Gebäude wurde aus Granit errichtet, besitzt ein Walmdach und weist eine Grundfläche von 42,7 m × 15,2 m × 12,2 m auf. Die identisch gestalteten Ost- und Westseiten sind in drei Abschnitte unterteilt. Der Hauptteil in der Mitte wird durch vier aus Holz gefertigte Pilaster ionischer Ordnung gekennzeichnet, die – wenngleich nur scheinbar – eine ebenfalls hölzerne Palisade auf dem Dach tragen. Der Mittelteil an der Westseite besaß ursprünglich einen einstöckigen, von neun Granitsäulen getragenen Portikus, der jedoch 1842 demontiert wurde. Das Gebäude besitzt eine eigene, 1896 restaurierte Kapelle, die heute jedoch als Fakultätszimmer genutzt wird. Entstehung Im November 1812 erhielt Charles Bulfinch den Auftrag, ein neues Gebäude für das damalige Harvard College zu entwerfen. Aus drei von ihm eingereichten alternativen Plänen wurde einer ausgewählt und Loammi Baldwin, Jr. mit dem Bau beauftragt. Die Bauarbeiten begannen am 1. Juli 1813, der Rohbau konnte 1814 abgeschlossen werden. Bulfinch übernahm die Bauaufsicht ab Mai 1814 selbst, bis das Bauwerk 1815 endgültig fertiggestellt war. Die Baukosten betrugen insgesamt 65.000 US-Dollar (heute ca. 1.368.000 Dollar bzw. 1.191.900 Euro).

University Hall (Harvard University)

University Hall is a white granite building designed by the great early American architect Charles Bulfinch and built by the noted early engineer Loammi Baldwin Jr. It is located in Harvard Yard on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970 for its architectural significance. The hall was designed by Bulfinch, class of 1781, and built between 1813 and 1815 of white Chelmsford granite, probably using rock cut to size at the Charlestown Prison. It consists of a partial basement story, plus three full stories raised above ground as well as an additional story set within the roofline. The long east and west facades are very similar, and symmetrically arranged with two entrances per facade, each flanked by pilasters; smaller north and south facades present rows of windows. Total construction cost was $65,000 of which $53,000 was paid by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. University Hall's first floor contained the College Commons (dining room) until 1849. The building also contained a library and philosophical (scientific) apparatus, as well as a chapel within the second and third floors. A massive portico with stone pillars was added to the western facade soon after completion, but removed in 1842. In 1849 the first floor was partitioned into classrooms; in 1867 the chapel was partitioned as well. In 1896 the chapel was restored and used for meetings of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In 1924 Daniel Chester French's bronze statue of John Harvard was moved to the western façade from its original location near Memorial Hall. 1969 Occupation In protest of the Vietnam War and Harvard's connections to it, students occupied University Hall on the night of April 8 to 9, 1969, forcing out Harvard officials and staff. In the early morning hours of April 10 the occupiers were ejected and some 100 to 300 persons arrested; about 50 were injured. Students camped on the lawn outside University Hall for brief periods in 2020 and 2024, related to fossil fuel divestment and the Gaza war, respectively.

University Park (Worcester, Massachusetts)

University Park, also called Crystal Park, is a public park in the Main South neighborhood of Worcester, Massachusetts. The 13-acre (53,000 m2) park was acquired by the city from 1887 to 1889, costing nearly 62,000 dollars. It is located across Main Street from Clark University, thus the name. University Park Campus School, a local nearby public high school founded with help from Clark, is named after the park. On September 20, 2010, Clark University announced a "20-year voluntary Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreement" with the City of Worcester, with some of the funds going directly to improvements in University Park. On March 24, 2011, the $1.5 million park redevelopment project was formally announced, and residents were informed that there would be a several-month-long community engagement and participatory planning process.
