Fox Island (Waltham)

Fox Island is a minor island located in the Charles River in Waltham, Massachusetts. The island is public, uninhabited, and forested. It is owned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). Fox Island's name is in conjunction with Fox Park in Waltham, which is just to the west by north of Fox Island, and also owned by the DCR. Fox Island was previously partially owned by Stephen B. Cram circa 1865. In 1891, Harvey Bartlett opened Forest Grove and Fox Island, a getaway that featured a swimming area, bathing houses, a carousel, a dance hall, a refreshment stand, and a bridge from Forest Grove to Fox Island. Bartlett's business was hurt by the opening of nearby Norumbega Park in 1897, but Fox Island remained an attraction for courting couples and daring swimmers. References

Whiting Street Reservoir

Whiting Street Reservoir, often shortened as Whiting Reservoir a Class I hazard reservoir, is an auxiliary drinking supply for the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts. The reservoir has an impound capacity of more than 479 million gallons of water and a safe yield of 1.5 million US gallons (5,700 m3) of water per day. The reservoir's construction finished and it became fully operational in 1888, with an access road added in 1897. The reservoir was built by damming up Raging Brook with a sandstone dam and earthen berm. Though the third water source added to the Holyoke Water Works, the reservoir was the first in the system to be created by a dam. Fishing is not allowed in the reservoir to protect against aquatic invasive species. Following new filtration requirements in the 1980s, the Reservoir was put on standby in the early 1990s. Regulations designed to ensure pure water include the prohibiting of dogs, horseback riding, camping, smoking, sledding and motorcycle riding are among prohibited activities from the reservoir and abutting property. The trail and access road around the reservoir was rededicated in 2018 as the Rudy Lengieza Cross Country Course for a former coach of high schools' boys and girls cross-country Holyoke Catholic High School who had served in that post for more than 50 years.

Brookline Hills station

Brookline Hills station is a light rail stop on the Green Line D branch of the MBTA subway system, located in the Brookline Hills neighborhood of Brookline, Massachusetts. The station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks. Brookline Hills station is accessible, with raised platforms to accommodate low-floor light rail vehicles. History The Brookline Branch of the Boston and Worcester Railroad was extended west to Newton Upper Falls by the Charles River Branch Railroad in November 1852. Cypress Street station – later Brookline Hills – was added after 1858. After 1886, loop service was run on the Highland branch via what is now the Framingham/Worcester Line, and later via the Needham Line. In March 1892, a new station designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge was opened. The station agent was removed in May 1949, but the station building remained in use as shelter for passengers. The final trains on the line ran on May 31, 1958. The line was converted to light rail by the M.T.A. and Brookline Hills reopened on July 4, 1959, along with the rest of the D branch. The 1892 depot is no longer extant. Accessibility In the early 2000s, the MBTA modified key surface stops with raised platforms for accessibility. Brookline Hills was not among those initially outfitted with portable lifts, nor was it retrofitted with raised platforms. However, portable lifts were installed by 2003. Around 2006, the MBTA added wooden mini-high platforms on both platforms, allowing level boarding on older Type 7 LRVs. These platforms were installed at eight Green Line stations in 2006–07 as part of the settlement of Joanne Daniels-Finegold, et al. v. MBTA. The station was reconstructed with fully accessible platforms as part of an expansion of Brookline High School, which included a new school building partially over the eastern end of the platforms. Modification of the overhead contact system took place from September 25, 2019, to March 8, 2020. Platform modification began around May 2020; the station closed on April 12, 2021 for the final phase of work. The station reopened on January 8, 2022.

Leverett was separated from Sunderland in 1774, and its establishment appears to date from that period. The oldest marked grave is that of Jonathan Field, one of the area's early settlers; it is possible that there are older unmarked graves as well. Significant burials, in addition to those of other early area settlers, include those of six of the town's Congregational ministers, and veterans of numerous military conflicts. The cemetery is presently owned and managed by the Leverett Cemetery Association, founded in 1910 to manage several of the town's older cemeteries.

Első templom (Boston)

A bostoni Első templom unitárius univerzalista (eredetileg kongregacionalista) templom, melyet 1630-ban emeltek a bevándorlók a későbbi Boston területén. A jelenlegi épület a Marlborough Street 66. szám alatt található. Története A templomot 1630-ban építették telepesek amikor Charlestownba (ma Boston része) érkeztek. Kongregacionalista templomként működött a 19. század fordulóján bekövetkezett szakadásig, miután végül a trinitárius keresztény templom unitarista kongregációvá lett a 19. század közepén, sok más templommal együtt Massachusettsben. A 19. században az Első templom Boston Back Bay negyedébe költözött. A Marlborough Street 66. szám alatt található épület elődjét 1867-ben építették fel. Egy 1968-as tűzvész után az Első templom és a Második templom egyesült, és új épületet emeltek ugyanezen a helyen, az 1867-es épület homlokzatának felhasználásával. A Második templomot 1649-ben alapították, amikor a város North End negyedéig terjeszkedő népesség szükségessé tett egy további gyülekezetet is, az itt lakók otthonainak közelében. Mindkét templom példája a bostoni templomok nyugatra költözésének a zsúfolt, régebbi belvárosi területről az újabb, elegánsabb Back Bay-be, miután a korábbi öblöt a 19. század végén, 20. század elején feltöltötték.
