Sears' Crescent and Sears' Block

Sears' Crescent and Sears' Block are a pair of adjacent historic buildings located along Cornhill in Boston, Massachusetts. It is adjacent to City Hall and Government Center, and is part of City Hall Plaza. Sears' Crescent was constructed in 1816 as a series of Federal period commercial rowhouses. Around 1860 these were given a unified curving facade with Italianate styling. The Sears' Block, built in 1848, is a rare surviving instance of granite post-and-lintel construction. Both buildings were developed by David Sears, a leading mid-19th-century developer of Boston who was responsible for the filling of Back Bay. They are the only buildings that remain on the original route of Cornhill, one of Boston's oldest streets, most of whose route has been lost or obscured by urban renewal. The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The Sears' Block is now the location of the "Steaming Tea Kettle", an 1873 trade sign commissioned by the Oriental Tea Company that was located on a Court Street building demolished in 1967 during the construction of Government Center. The kettle was refurbished and reinstalled in 2016 after being damaged, apparently by a truck. Sears' Crescent was acquired in 2016 by Chevron Partners.

Seaside Park (Marblehead, Massachusetts)

Seaside Park is a coastal park located in Marblehead, Massachusetts. At a little over 14 acres (5.7 ha), it is the largest of Marblehead's four public parks, and includes an early 20th century grandstand overlooking the baseball field. At its eastern edge, it provides fine views of Marblehead Harbor and Marblehead Neck. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 8, 2011. Setting Seaside Park is located on the east side of Marblehead, occupying a parcel of land bounded on the west by Atlantic Avenue, the north by Chestnut Street, the east by Harbor View Lane and Ladys Cove, and on the south by Wyman Lane. Its principal points of access are from Atlantic Avenue, with the other roads lined by mainly residential properties. The portion of the park nearest Atlantic Avenue is flat, and has developed athletic facilities, including a paved basketball court, and a baseball diamond whose outfield area is large enough for use as a football or soccer field. Behind the diamond is the Roundy Grandstand, and tennis courts and a playground extend north, behind the adjacent Our Lady Star of the Sea church complex. Behind the grandstand and tennis courts the land rises into a wooded area, through which trails circulate and lead toward the shore. Views of Ladys Cove and Marblehead Neck are only obtained from the easternmost part of the park, the higher rocky outcrops having been obscured by trees. History Marblehead's first three parks, Crocker Park, Bailey's Headland, and Fort Sewall, were established between 1886 and 1890. The first land for Seaside Park was acquired in 1895, with the plan to develop it as a site for athletic activities. The inland portion, eventually increased by further acquisitions, was levelled and seeded, and improvements began to be added in the 1910s. The grandstand was built in 1916, in part at the request of a local semi-pro baseball league. The park was visited by President Calvin Coolidge when he summered at Marblehead in 1925. The first tennis courts were added in the 1930s, as was an ice skating rink, whose space has since taken over by more tennis courts. Lucille Ball landed on the baseball field in a helicopter. The grandstand underwent a major restoration in 1990. Pickleball courts were added in 2022. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Essex County, Massachusetts References
Second Brazer Building

The Second Brazer Building is an office building at 25-29 State Street in Boston, Massachusetts, with a locally significant early Beaux Arts design. The eleven-story skyscraper was designed by Cass Gilbert and built in 1897. It is the only Gilbert work in Boston, and was built in the same year when he won the commission for the Minnesota State Capitol. The building is an early local example of a steel frame structure with curtain walls. It has a trapezoidal plan and is 125 feet in height, with identical fenestration patterns on the northern, eastern, and southern facades. The exterior walls are made of limestone for the first three stories and terra cotta for the upper floors. The tower occupies the site of the first meeting house in Boston, erected in 1632; a plaque on the north facade of the building marks its former location. The land was subsequently acquired in the early nineteenth century by John Brazer, a local merchant, and in 1842, his heirs constructed the first Brazer Building, a three-story Greek Revival structure designed by Isaiah Rogers. The original Brazer building stood on the site until 1896, when it was removed to make way for the current tower. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and was designated as a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission on July 9, 1985.

Second Unitarian Church

The Second Unitarian Church is a historic church and synagogue building at 11 Charles Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1916 for a Unitarian congregation, it was acquired by the innovative Reform Jewish Temple Sinai congregation in 1944. It is a high quality example of Colonial Revival/Georgian Revival architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Description and history The Temple Sinai building is located on the north side of Charles Street, a side street just south of Beacon Street on the west side of Coolidge Corner. The building's lot originally fronted on Beacon Street, but has been subdivided. The building is a two-story brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof, Greek temple portico, and tower with octagonal cupola. The building corners have brick quoining, and it has round-arch windows capped by limestone keystones. The building was erected in 1916 by the Second Unitarian Church, a congregation established in 1896 that had been meeting at a shared chapel in the Longwood area. The building was designed by Boston architect Edwin J. Lewis Jr., and is based on the Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia. In 1944 the building was purchased by Temple Sinai, a Reform Jewish congregation established in 1939. That congregation was the first new Reform congregation to be founded in the Greater Boston area in 84 years, and is credited with introducing a number of changes to the worship and governance practices of Reform congregations, including equal seating for all congregants, and the right of women to vote in its organization.

The Seth Boyden House is a historic house at 135 Oak Street in Foxborough, Massachusetts. It is also known as "OAKWUD", after 500-year-old oak tree that stands on the northeast side of the main house. The two story brick house is claimed to have been built as early as 1728, although stylistic architectural evidence suggests a later (c. 1780–90) date. The house is notable as the home of inventor Seth Boyden, who was cited as a significant influence by Thomas Alva Edison. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Seth Hallett House

The Seth Hallett House is a historic house in the Hyannis village of Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built in 1775, this 1+1⁄2-story Cape house is one of the few surviving Federal style houses on Main Street in Hyannis. In the mid-19th century it was occupied by Seth Hallett, a town selectman. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Hallett House is set at the northeast corner of Main and Camp Streets in the village of Hyannis. It is a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, a central chimney (not original), and wood shingle siding.

The main entrance is centered on the original block, with simple pilasters on either side and a narrow transom window above. Construction of the house is estimated to have been in about 1775, but nothing is known of its early owners. It was owned by Seth Hallett, a town selectman, in the mid-19th century. It presently houses a medical practice. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Barnstable County, Massachusetts References
Sever Hall

Sever Hall ist ein im 19. Jahrhundert errichtetes Gebäude der Harvard University in Cambridge im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wurde 1970 als National Historic Landmark in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen und ist seit 1987 zugleich Contributing Property des Harvard Yard Historic District. Das Gebäude wird als architektonisches Meisterstück des Richardsonian-Romanesque-Stils angesehen. Architektur Das dreieinhalbstöckige, 53,7 m × 22,8 m × 24,4 m (Länge × Breite × Höhe) messende Gebäude wurde von Henry Hobson Richardson entworfen und von 1878 bis 1880 aus rund 1,3 Millionen roten Mauerziegeln auf einem Fundament aus Stein errichtet. Das in der Farbe der Ziegel gehaltene Walmdach wird von Kaminen und Dachgauben durchbrochen. Die West- und Ostseite sind durch jeweils zwei symmetrisch um den zentralen Eingang angeordnete Rundtürme charakterisiert, die im engeren Sinne die einzigen mittelalterlichen Stilelemente des Bauwerks darstellen. Das Tympanon des Giebels und die Paneele unter den Fenstern des zweiten und dritten Stocks im vorspringenden Erker sind reich mit floralen Mustern verziert, die in den Backstein gekerbt wurden. Der als Portal ausgestaltete Haupteingang befindet sich an der nach Westen ausgerichteten Vorderseite des Gebäudes. Historische Bedeutung Das Gebäude stellt den Höhepunkt der Schaffensperiode von Henry Hobson Richardson dar. Bei diesem Entwurf verzichtete Richardson auf den verkleideten Granit und den braunen Stein seiner früheren Gebäude und übernahm den gewöhnlichen roten Ziegelstein, der in den nahe gelegenen Gebäuden aus dem 18. Jahrhundert im Harvard Yard verwendet worden war. Er ahmte sogar die schlichten länglichen und symmetrischen Massen dieser georgianischen und föderalen Gebäude nach und versuchte so erfolgreich, sein neues Gebäude mit der Architektur der Vergangenheit zu verbinden. Die Sever Hall wurde nach James Warren Sever benannt, dessen Ehefrau Anne E. P. Sever nach seinem Tod der Universität 100.000 US-Dollar für die Errichtung eines neuen Gebäudes unter der Maßgabe geschenkt hatte, dass dieses zum einen für die Nutzung von Studenten ausgelegt sein und zum anderen nach ihrem Ehemann benannt werden sollte. Die an die Quincy Street grenzende Sever Hall bildet den östlichen Teil eines Vierecks, zu dem im Weiteren die Memorial Church of Harvard University (Appleton Chapel) im Norden, die Widener Library im Süden sowie die University Hall im Westen gehören. Im Jahr 2004 bezeichnete der amerikanische Architekt Robert Venturi die Sever Hall als sein „Lieblingsgebäude in Amerika“.

Sewall-Scripture House

The Sewall-Scripture House, is a historic house museum in Rockport, Massachusetts that is owned by the Sandy Bay Historical Society. The Sewall Scripture Museum features antiques, period artifacts and items of local history. The Federal style building, the only house in Rockport built out of native granite, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The Sewall-Scripture House is set at the northeast corner of King and Granite Streets (the latter designated Massachusetts Route 127), on the outskirts of Rockport's main village. It is a 2+1⁄2-story structure with a side-gable roof, whose main block is constructed out of locally quarried granite. The front and side walls are formed out of dressed blocks about 1 by 4 feet (0.30 m × 1.22 m) in size; the rear wall is formed out of coursed random and square rubblestone. A 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame ell, apparently original to the house's construction, extends to the rear; it is finished in wooden clapboards. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entry set in a round-arch opening with flanking sidelight windows. The house was built in 1832 by Levi Sewall, owner of a granite quarry located on Pigeon Cove. Stone for this house was hauled from the quarry by teams of oxen. Sewall was one of Rockport's leading quarry owners, his business operating independently until its merger in 1921 with the Rockport Granite Company. Sewall's descendants owned the house until 1957, at which time it was acquired by the Sandy Bay Historical Society. Although there are a number of commercial buildings in Rockport built from local stone, this is the only house that is.

Sharpner's Pond Anti-Ballistic Missile Site

The Sharpner's Pond Anti-Ballistic Missile Site is a location in North Andover, Massachusetts, which was slated to be the site of a Perimeter Acquisition Radar facility for the Sentinel program. Initially, an access road and a large excavation for an underground power plant were constructed at the site. However, in light of mounting public opposition over the construction of Sentinel sites, the Sentinel program ended before substantial construction took place at the Sharpner's Pond location. All activity at the Sharpner's Pond site halted on March 14, 1969, when contracts with construction agencies were terminated. The land was later transferred back to the Department of Conservation from the Department of Defense and became part of Boxford State Forest. The area was badly damaged by the work conducted by the site and has not fully recovered. Confusion with Sharpners Pond After maintenance of the site stopped, the excavated area filled with rain and groundwater, forming a quarry. The pond formed by the excavation at the site is frequently confused with the nearby Sharpners Pond, which is privately owned and not part of the Boxford State Forest. Sharpners Pond is not accessible to the public. Drownings at excavation site The quarry formed by the excavation at Sharpner's Pond Anti-Ballistic Missile Site is not designated for recreational use due to depth, low temperature, and visibility due to silt. A danger sign posted along the access road leading to the excavation warns visitors to not swim in the water although it has since been vandalized. Between 2004 and 2008, three drownings resulted from swimming in the quarry. In 2008 it was reported that police activity had increased in the area to combat swimming and after-hours use of the site. A gate has since been installed at the entrance to the access road. In 2008, it was reported that a memorial had been spray-painted at the site onto rocks near the water reading "R.I.P. Keolong Keath 6/16/2004". References External links A History of the Huntsville Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum

The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is a small railroad museum in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, United States. The museum (SFTM) is dedicated to preserving and operating car number 10 of the former Shelburne Falls and Colrain Street Railway. This is a combination passenger-baggage trolley car built by the Wason Manufacturing Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1896 and is the last known trolley car from the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway. In 1992, Marshall Johnson donated car number 10 (which his father had bought and saved when the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway shut down, decades earlier) to a small group of people who restored the car back to working order. The museum also has a small assortment of equipment that is not related to the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway, including an ex-Central Vermont caboose, a Central Vermont handcar, two MBTA PCC cars, and other railroad and trolley equipment. The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is located in the old Buckland Freight yard.
