Isla Thacher

La isla Thacher es una pequeña isla de Cape Ann, localizada en la costa de Massachusetts, en los Estados Unidos.​ Forma parte de la ciudad de Rockport (Massachusetts). Era un lugar donde algunos enfrentamientos navales, tanto menores como mayores, se llevaron a cabo, lo que ayudó a asegurar la victoria para los colonos.​ La isla, llamada así por Anthony Thacher, se encuentra en aguas peligrosas, donde ha habido muchos naufragios. Con el gran número de naufragios alrededor de esta área, hubo una petición enviada desde capitanes de mar para erigir una luz en la isla. El 22 de abril de 1771, el gobierno provincial autorizó la construcción de dos faros en la isla.​ Aunque estas luces eran una valiosa ayuda para los pescadores y marineros del mar, había un fuerte sentimiento entre la gente del pueblo, debido a que el faro estaba ayudando a la flota británica más de lo que estaba ayudando a la causa patriota. Este sentimiento aumentó después de que las hostilidades estallaron con las batallas de Lexington y Concord y la batalla de Bunker Hill. A principios de julio de 1775, el Dr. Samuel Rogers, de Gloucester llevó a su compañía de milicianos a la isla. Allí destruyeron las luces, y trajo al capitán Kirkwood, su familia y sus ayudantes de vuelta al continente.​ Referencias Bibliografía Annelise Hobbs Discovering the Lighthouses of North America. — Ermine Street Books / Regency House Publishing Limited, 2011. — ISBN 978-1-85361-601-3. «Revolutionary War Naval Minor Engagements, 1775-1783.». uswars.net.

Тэчер (остров, Массачусетс)

О́стров Тэ́чер (англ. Thacher Island) — небольшой остров у северо-восточного побережья США, расположенный у восточной оконечности мыса Кейп-Энн (Cape Ann) в штате Массачусетс и отделённый от побережья проливом шириной около 1 км. Площадь острова — около 50 акров (примерно 0,2 км²). Официально остров находится под юрисдикцией городского управления Рокпорта — ближайшего города на побережье Кейп-Энн. На севере острова находится Национальный заказник дикой природы «Остров Тэчер». Кроме имени Тэчер, также употребляют неправильное название — остров Тэ́тчер (Thatcher Island), которое даже считалось официальным вариантом (до 1915 года). Несмотря на то, что с тех пор официальным названием считается Thacher, название Thatcher до сих пор употребляется в литературе. История Остров получил своё название по фамилии Энтони и Элизабет Тэчер (Anthony and Elizabeth Thacher) — единственных оставшихся в живых после кораблекрушения 14 августа 1635 года, жертвами которого стал 21 человек, включая их четырёх детей. В январе 1636 года решением Верховного суда колонии Массачусетского залива остров был отдан во владение Энтони Тэчеру. С тех пор остров несколько раз менял владельцев: был продан сначала за 100 фунтов (в 1717 году), затем за 175 фунтов (в 1726—1727 году) и, наконец, выкуплен обратно колониальным правительством Массачусетса в 1771 году за 500 фунтов. В том же году на острове были построены два маяка высотой 13,5 м, которые зажглись в первый раз 21 декабря 1771 года. Первым смотрителем маяков стал капитан Кирквуд, который жил на острове вместе со своей семьёй и двумя помощниками. В июле 1775 года маяки были выведены из строя, чтобы не помогать британцам, которые захватили Бостон. В 1789 году маяки были переведены под юрисдикцию федерального правительства США. В 1853 году был установлен сигнальный колокол, предназначенный для использования во время тумана. В 1861 году были построены более высокие, 38-метровые гранитные маяки-близнецы, которые стоят и поныне. Они являются единственными действующими маяками-близнецами в США. В 1932 году было решено больше не использовать свет от северного маяка, а южный маяк был переведён на электрическое освещение с вращающимся лучом.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Somerville, Massachusetts References
Abbot-Stinson House

The Abbot-Stinson House is a historic house in Andover, Massachusetts. The house is estimated to have been built in the early 1720s, in the transitional period between First Period and Georgian styles of construction. It was originally one room deep with a central chimney, but was extended by additions to the rear in the 20th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Description The Abbot-Stinson House is set at the northern corner of the junction of Stinson and Holt Roads in a rural section of eastern Andover. The main block of the house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, wooden clapboard siding, and a large central chimney. The house which faces Stinson Road, has a five-bay main facade, with the outer bays more closely spaced than that in the center. The entrance has a projecting vestibule with Federal styling. A series of 20th-century additions enlarge the original structure to the rear, and there is a detached modern garage to the right. The house is estimated to have been built c. 1720-26 for a member of the locally-prominent Abbot family. In its original form it consisted of one room on each side of the central chimney, with a narrow winding staircase between the entrance vestibule and the chimney. This staircase has retained one of its original newel posts; the railings are modern replacements. Architectural evidence of its early construction date include quirk-beaded main beams and gunstock-shaped posts at the corners on the second floor. The chamber on the west side was likely the kitchen, with a large fireplace that has since been closed off. This space was later subdivided to form a closet, bathroom, and hallway leading to the modern addition to the rear. Both the parlor (to the east of the chimney) and the parlor chamber above it feature high-quality wood paneling, and the framing members (exposed in the kitchen chamber) are boxed. The house, representing a well-preserved example of an early transitional First Period-Georgian house, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Abbot Hall (Marblehead, Massachusetts)

Abbot Hall is a town hall and historical museum located at 188 Washington Street, Marblehead, Massachusetts. It is open year-round, though with restricted hours in the colder months. Constructed in 1876 and designed in the Romanesque style by Lord & Fuller architects, the Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property in the historic district. History Abbot Hall is the fourth town hall built in Marblehead, preceded by the First Meeting House (1638, Old Burial Hill), the Old Meeting House (1696), and the Old Town House (1727). Abbot Hall is named after a barrel maker and trader named Benjamin Abbot. When Benjamin Abbot died in 1872, he donated his fortune to the town of Marblehead. In addition to serving as the seat of Marblehead's town government, Abbot Hall has holdings as a museum. It contains the original The Spirit of '76 by Archibald MacNeal Willard, which was widely reproduced, the 1684 deed to Marblehead signed by descendants of Wenepoykin, youngest son of Nanepashemet, chief or sachem of the regional Pawtucket confederation of Abenaki peoples prior to Pilgrim settlement, a bust of native son and U.S. vice president Elbridge Gerry, a painting of Marbleheaders rowing George Washington across the Delaware River during the American Revolutionary War, a painting by primitivist J.O.J. Frost, and a number of other historical artifacts. A plaque on display in the Selectmen's room, discovered in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, proclaims Marblehead the "Birthplace of the American Navy". Clock The clock in the tower of Abbot Hall is a Howard #2S installed in 1877; it is governed by a 10 ft (3.0 m) pendulum escapement, driven by an 86 lb (39 kg) weight. The clangor escapement is governed by a flutter vane assembly and is powered by a 292 lb (132 kg) weight. The Bell was cast by Meneely & Kimberly in Troy, New York and donated by James J. H. Gregory Every week the maintenance workers ascend the tower to wind the movements. Local authors have featured the clock in numerous stories.

Abbotsford (Boston, Massachusetts)

Abbotsford, now the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, is a historic house at 300 Walnut Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The museum is dedicated to black visual arts heritage worldwide, and presents historical and contemporary exhibitions in many media, including painting, sculpture, graphics, photography and decorative arts. The museum is operated by the National Center of Afro-American Artists. House history The pointed arches on Abbotsford's windows and main entrance are characteristics of the High Victorian Gothic style, inspired by the architecture of the Middle Ages. Designed by Boston architect Alden Frink for the prominent industrialist Aaron Davis Williams, Abbotsford was built in 1872 in the High Victorian Gothic style. Just as the American economy was becoming industrialized, many people looked with nostalgia to times before machines and factories. Ironically, Aaron Davis Williams, Jr., used his profits from industry to build a house that could remind him of a medieval castle. Following setbacks in his business, Williams was forced to sell Abbotsford to James M. Smith, who was born in Scotland in 1811, came to Boston in 1854, and was treasurer of the Suffolk Brewery in South Boston. Smith died at his home in Roxbury February 8, 1894. By 1923, the mansion was too large for private use, and the City of Boston purchased it as a disciplinary school for boys. In 1976, the National Center for Afro-American Artists bought the property and turned it into a museum. This new use has made it possible for community residents to enjoy Abbotsford today. This building is significant to Roxbury for several reasons. The most obvious is its beauty. It is a stately mansion that commands its site, and continues to be important to the community as the setting for the museum. In addition, it is built entirely of Roxbury puddingstone, a local building material. Finally, this building tells much about how people thought about their houses and their lives. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Abbott Street School

The Abbott Street School is a historic school building at 36 Abbott Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1894, it is a good local example of Romanesque Revival architecture. It served as a public school until 1981, after which it was converted to residential use. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Description and history The former Abbott Street School is located west of downtown Worcester, on the west side of Abbott Street between Pleasant and Chandler Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building with a hip roof and Romanesque Revival styling. Its most prominent feature is a projecting central turret, topped by a conical roof. It has a dentillated cornice, and round-arch windows on the second floor of the turret. Windows have rusticated granite sills, and there is a wide stone water table between the basement and ground floors. The main entrances flank the turret on either side, projecting slightly from the main block and recessed under round-arch openings with a granite keystone. A two-story addition extends to the rear. The school was designed by Boston architect William Forbush and built in 1894. Stylistically it is similar to the 1891 Downing Street School, also designed by Forbush, but with less elaborate trim. It was built by B.C. Jacques at a cost of $20,000. In 1905-06 it was enlarged, with a sympathetic design by Worcester builder J. William Patston. The city operated the school until 1981, after which it was converted to residential use.

Abiah Bliss House

The Abiah Bliss House is a historic house located at 147 Agricultural Avenue in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. With a claimed initial construction date of 1666, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the Rehoboth area. Description and history The house stands in a rural area of northern Rehoboth, on the south side of Agricultural Avenue east of its junction with Rocky Hill Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story, wood-framed house, with a gabled roof, roughly centered chimney, and an ell extending to the right side. It is oriented facing west, and has an asymmetrically arranged six-bay front facade. Its main entrance is in the third bay from the left, sheltered by a small porch with a segmented-arch pediment. The third bay from the right exhibits evidence of once also housing an entrance, but now houses a window. The house has a complex construction history, which may begin as early as 1666, making it one of the oldest houses in the region, and one of the few to survive King Philip's War, which ravaged the area in the 1670s. The property was traditionally owned by Jonathan Bliss, and the southern three bays are said to have been built by him. Architectural evidence suggests that this portion was built before 1740. The northern extension was made in the mid-18th century. The southern ell is a three-bay timber-framed former barn, which also dates to the 18th century. It was in the Bliss family into at least the 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1983.

Abiel Stevens House

The Abiel Stevens House is a historic First-Period house in North Andover, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house is unusual for retaining its basic 18th century form with minimal alteration. The house was built in 1710 by Abiel Stevens, one of Andover's early major landowners. The major alterations since Stevens built the house include a late 18th-century lean-to added to the back of the house, and the front porch, which dates to the same time. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
