Labouré College

Labouré College of Healthcare is a private college specializing in nursing and healthcare education and located in Milton, Massachusetts. Founded in 1892, by the Daughters of Charity, it is the longest-running nursing education program in the Boston area. The college offers online and on-campus certificate, associate, and bachelor's degree programs. In 2013, the campus moved from Dorchester to Milton, Massachusetts. In February 2026 it was announced that Laboure was closing at the end of August 2026 and its nursing programs had been acquired by Curry College. History Labouré was founded in 1892 as the Carney Hospital Training School for Nurses in South Boston. In 1949, the school merged with two other nursing schools run by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul: the St. John's School of Nursing in Lowell, Massachusetts and the St. Margaret's School of Nursing in Dorchester. They formed the Catherine Labouré School of Nursing, named for St. Catherine Labouré, in 1950. The new school opened in 1951 and moved to the site of the new Carney Hospital in Dorchester in 1954. In 1971, it was authorized to award degrees in Massachusetts and changed its name to the Catherine Labouré Junior College. Its name changed again in 1984 to Catherine Labouré College and in 1993 to simply Labouré College. In 1997, the college became part of the Caritas Christi Health Care system and its name was officially changed to Caritas Labouré College in 2005, then officially changed back to Labouré College in 2009. Until 1997, the school was sponsored by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. It was subsequently affiliated with Steward Health Care System, until 2013 when it disaffiliated. Presidents Debra Townsley, 2018–2019 Lily Hsu, 2019–present Campus In 2013, Labouré College relocated from Dorchester to its new campus at 303 Adams Street in Milton, Massachusetts, the former campus of Aquinas College adjacent to Fontbonne Academy. Academics Labouré offers the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing (BSN) and the Associate of Science degree in nursing and in allied health programs. It was first accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) in 1975 and gained accreditation under the NEASC Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE) in 2005. Student life Labouré is a commuter college, not a residential college. Most of its students are part-time. The average age is 31. References External links Official website

Lamont Library

Lamont Library, in the southeast corner of Harvard Yard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, houses the Harvard Library's primary undergraduate collection in humanities and social sciences. It was the first library in the United States specifically planned to serve undergraduates. Women (that is, Radcliffe College students) were admitted beginning in 1967. Overview Lamont was built as part of a program to address dwindling stack space, and patron overcrowding, at Widener Library. Keyes D. Metcalf, Librarian of Harvard College and Director of the Harvard University Library from 1937 to 1955, planned the building with Boston architect Henry R. Shepley. Opened in 1949, it is named for its principal donor, Harvard alumnus Thomas W. Lamont. Lamont's general collection of 200,000 volumes began with transfers from Widener, the Boylston Hall reserve-book collections, and the Harvard Union Reading Room. A modified Dewey classification scheme was used, and the main spaces included capacious open-shelf alcoves for browsing, study, and research. The Library of Congress Classification system was adopted in the 1970s. After Littauer Library closed in 2007, Lamont became the home library for HCL's former Social Sciences Program. Four units of the Social Sciences Program‍—‌Documents Services, Microform Services, Numeric Data Services, and Environmental Information Services‍—‌were combined with Lamont Reference Services. Lamont houses the College Library's major research collections in government documents and microform collections across all disciplines. References External links Lamont Library
Lancaster Industrial School for Girls

The Lancaster Industrial School for Girls was a reform school on Old Common Road in Lancaster, Massachusetts. It was the country's first state reform school for girls, opening on August 26, 1856. The facility provided its charges with separate rooms, arranged in three-story cottages with kitchen, dining, and other public facilities on the ground floor, rooms for the girls and a housemother on the second, and space for teachers on the third floor. This school paved the way of social reform, moving away from child imprisonment towards a correctional paradigm. This was in part achieved because of the observed benefits of environmental change in children, as well as the importance of education plus the added pressures of having to deal with the rise in child delinquency brought by social changes of the industrial age. After its closure in 1975, it was redeveloped into Massachusetts Correctional Institution - Lancaster. The campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Campus The Lancaster School's campus is located southeast of the town center, on 70 acres (28 ha) of landscaped terrain between Old Common Road (to the south) and Still River Road (Massachusetts Route 110) to the north. The campus includes eighteen historic buildings, dating from the late 18th to early 20th centuries. Many of its purpose-built buildings from this period are of brick construction, and most of those date to the period of the school's founding in the 1850s. There are three wood-frame buildings on the campus from the 18th century, all farmhouses which were standing when the state acquired the land. These buildings were used by the school for staff housing and offices. A number of the buildings are residential "cottages", which had common spaces on the ground floor, and sleeping arrangements for both students and staff. The common spaces included a dining room, kitchen, sewing room, laundry, parlor, and classroom.

Langdell Hall

Langdell Hall je největší budovou kampusu Harvard Law School v Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nachází se v ní školní knihovna, je největší právnickou akademickou knihovnou na světě. Je pojmenována po jednom z prvních děkanů právnické fakulty Christopheru Columbovi Langdellovi. Byla postavena v pozměněném neoklasicismu. Popud k výstavě budovy dal v roce 1905 děkan James Barr Ames, který upozornil na nevyhovující kapacitu dosavadní knihovny v Austin Hall od architekta H. H. Rochardsona. Budovu budoucí Lngdell Hall navrhl Richardsonův nástupce, firma Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. Jižní křídlo budovy bylo postaveno v roce 1907, stejná firma (přejmenovaná na Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott) dokončila severní a západní křídla budovy v roce 1929. Roku 1959 byla postavena budova Studií mezinárodního práva, nyní známá jako Lewisovo centrum mezinárodního práva, která se stala domovem pro přibližně 300 000 svazků. V roce 1997 došlo k rekonstrukci budovy Langdell Hall, ke které byla opět přizvána firma Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott. Díky renovaci došlo k rozšíření knihovny, která nyní zabírá většinu budovy. Dále zde nalezneme dvě posluchárny. První z nich se jmenuje Vorenbergova, druhá nese název po významné právnické firmě Kirkland & Ellis. Renovace také zahrnovala instalaci klimatizace a přistavění dámských toalet. Další pozoruhodnou částí Langdell Hall je tzv. Caspersenův pokoj pojmenovaný po absolventovi Harvard Law School Finnu M. W. Caspersenovi, který získal titul doktora práv v roce 1966. Caspersenův pokoj, dříve nazývaný Pokoj pokladů, ukrývá část sbírky vzácných knih a manuskriptů. Ve foyer Langdell Hall nalezneme sochu Josepha Story, harvardského profesora a soudce Nejvyššího soudu Spojených států amerických, kterou vytvořil jeho syn William Wetmore Story.

Langdell Hall

Langdell Hall is the largest building of Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is home to the school's library, the largest academic law library in the world, named after pioneering law school dean Christopher Columbus Langdell. It is built in a modified neoclassical style. Construction and design The building was commissioned in 1905 by law school dean James Barr Ames, as the school was outgrowing H. H. Richardson's Austin Hall. It was designed by Richardson's successor, the firm Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. The southern wing was completed and occupied by the autumn of 1907, and nearly the entire building in use by January 1908. The building's modified neoclassical facade, of buff limestone, features Ionic columns; the frieze bears Henry de Bracton's maxim, Non Sub Homine Sed Sub Deo Et Lege: "Not under Man, but under God and Law." The interior woodwork is dark oak. The library stack was designed for 300,000 volumes. A subway connects neighboring Austin Hall. The cost of construction was $365,000. The same firm, under the name Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, completed a $1,500,000 enlargement in 1929, which added northern and western wings. In 1959, the International Legal Studies building, now the Lewis International Law Center, was constructed to house approximately 300,000 volumes in open-stacks. In 1997, Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott was appointed once again, this time to renovate the building. The renovations expanded the library, which now takes up most of the building, with the exception of two classrooms—the Vorenberg and Kirkland & Ellis. The renovation also included the installation of air conditioning and additional women's restrooms. The Caspersen Room, named for HLS alumnus Finn M. W. Caspersen (J. D. 1966), was once the Treasure Room, housing rare books and manuscripts. In the lobby is a statue of Joseph Story, Harvard professor and Supreme Court justice, sculpted by his son, William Wetmore Story.

Langham Hotel Boston

The Langham, Boston is a luxury hotel in a historic building located at 250 Franklin Street in the financial district of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and managed by Langham Hotels International. History The Renaissance Revival building was constructed in 1922 as the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. It was designed by R. Clipston Sturgis, based on the Palazzo della Cancelleria, in Rome, with its granite exterior, life-size equestrian statues, and painted dome ceiling. It was expanded in 1953 and designated a Boston Landmark in 1978. The structure was converted to a hotel by developer Norman B. Leventhal's The Beacon Companies. It opened in 1981, managed by Le Meridien Hotels, as the Hotel Meridien Boston, with its name later changed slightly to Le Méridien Boston. The hotel was sold by Beacon and Stamford-based General Electric Investments Corp. to Hong Kong-based Pacific Eagle Holdings in 1997 for $100 million. On December 31, 2003, the new owners switched management to their own Langham Hotels chain, and the hotel became The Langham, Boston. In 2019 the hotel closed to undergo a complete renovation and re-opened its doors on June 30, 2021. The multimillion dollar renovation included all guestrooms, meeting space, two new restaurants, The Langham Club lounge, fitness center and indoor pool and all public areas. Features The Langham has 312 residentially styled guest rooms and suites, with Italian marble bathrooms, and two dining destinations: The Fed, a British-inspired cocktail pub with a New England twist, and GRANA, an Italian destination restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch. The hotel is home to a club lounge on the eighth floor overlooking Norman B. Leventhal Park and redesigned meeting space, including two ballrooms. Formerly the Governor's Reception room, The Wyeth Room contains two historic N. C. Wyeth murals. The Member's Court room contains Norman B. Leventhal's collection of historic Massachusetts maps. As the hotel was previously a bank, the ground floor has narrow windows to help discourage unwanted intruders. The original entry doors from Pearl Street still contain the gold coin moldings, and the bank vault is now used as a pastry kitchen.

Langlee Island

Langlee Island ist eine Insel in der Hingham Bay im Boston Harbor. Sie liegt 11,8 mi (19 km) vom Bostoner Stadtzentrum entfernt auf dem Gebiet des Bundesstaats Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Langlee Island verfügt über eine dauerhafte Fläche von etwa 4,5 Acres (ca. 1,8 ha), die durch ein Watt je nach Tidenhub temporär um weitere 3,5 Acres (1,4 ha) vergrößert wird. Sie wird von der Stadt Hingham verwaltet und ist Teil der Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Geographie Geologie Die Insel besteht vorwiegend aus dem lokal vorkommenden Gesteinskonglomerat Roxbury Puddingstone und ragt ca. 40 ft (12,2 m) über die Wasseroberfläche auf. Im Zentrum der Insel findet sich darüber hinaus Geschiebemergel. Flora und Fauna Im 19. Jahrhundert pflanzte der damalige Eigentümer eine Vielzahl von Bäumen und Sträuchern auf der Insel an, um ihren ursprünglichen Zustand vor der Kolonisierung wiederherzustellen. Heute gedeihen dort Eichen, Birken, Zedern und Ahorne. Zu den Sträuchern zählen Heidelbeeren, Schneebälle, Stechwinden, Kratzbeeren, Rhus und Kletternder Gift-Sumach. Die Tierwelt der Insel ist noch Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen. Geschichte Die Insel wurde bereits von den Indianern saisonal genutzt und nach John Langlee benannt, der die Insel im Jahr 1689 kaufte. Nach mehreren Generationen in Privatbesitz ging das Eigentum der Insel später auf die Stadt Hingham über. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Boston Harbor Islands.

Langlee Island

Langlee Island or Langley Island is an island in the Hingham Bay area of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. The island has a permanent size of 4 acres (16,000 m2), plus an intertidal zone of a further 3 acres (12,000 m2), and is composed of a massing of Roxbury puddingstone which rises to a height of 40 feet (12 m) above sea level. This results in steep cliffs on the northern shore, while there are several small sandy beaches and a tidal mudflat on the east side. The center of the island contains glacial till that supports tree and shrub cover. As a result of previous planting, the island hosts large examples of oak, maple, juniper, and birch trees, while self-seeded huckleberry and viburnum mix with common greenbriar, dewberry, sumac, and poison ivy. The island was purchased by John Langlee in 1689, and has had several private owners since. Eventually, it was given to the town of Hingham by its last private owner, and the town still manages it as part of the National Recreation Area. Access is by private boat only. References
Langmaid Terrace

Langmaid Terrace is a historic apartment complex at 359—365 Broadway in the Winter Hill neighborhood of Somerville, Massachusetts. The architecturally eclectic brick building was built in 1891 by the heirs of Samuel P. Langmaid, a local landowner. The Langmaid family was also responsible for the Langmaid Building on Highland Avenue. The architect was J. Pickering Putnam of Boston. The building is Queen Anne in inspiration with multiple roof lines, gables, and towers of varying heights and styles. Dormers project from the mansard roof, faced with stepped brick. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Since 2009, the end unit at 365 Broadway has received notice as the residence of Barack Obama from 1988 to 1991 while he attended Harvard Law School. In 2021, a granite marker commemorating Obama's residency was placed in the front garden area, deemed the President Obama Rose Garden At Winter Hill, MA.

Larrabee's Brick Block

Larrabee's Brick Block is a historic commercial and residential building at 500–504 Main Street in Melrose, Massachusetts. It is one of only two relatively unaltered 19th century commercial buildings in Melrose. The three-story brick Second Empire building was built in 1880 by John Larrabee, on the site of a wood frame meeting hall. The block is built of brick laid in stretcher bond, and its third floor is under a mansard roof typical of the style. The ground floor consists of two storefronts with recessed entrances and plate glass windows, and a separate recessed entrance giving access to the upper residential floors. The second floor facade has two projecting bay windows, decorated with brackets and panel trim, above the two store fronts, and a sash window above the residential entrance. The mansard roof originally had single window dormers, but c. 1910, all but one of these (the one above the residential entrance) were removed and replaced by extensions of the second story bay windows. The north elevation is also decorated with some elaboration, even though it faces a narrow passage. Windows on the second floor are topped by segmented arches and brick corbelled hoods, and the mansard roof is pierced by six dormers similar in style to the original one on the front. Windows on the south elevation are more simply styled, having only segmented arch lintels, and the cornice becomes simpler towards the rear of the building. The back elevation is also simply decorated, and is mostly obscured by a c. 1930s vernacular three-tier porch. The interior of the building has also retained most of its original finishes. The ground floor shops have tin ceilings and walls, and original maple flooring, and the upper residential units retain much of the original woodwork, including fireplace mantels, wainscoting, and molded door and window surrounds. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middlesex County, Massachusetts References
Larz Anderson Park

Der Larz Anderson Park ist ein knapp 25 ha großer Park in Massachusetts in den Vereinigten Staaten, der sich auf die Stadtgebiete von Boston und Brookline erstreckt. Er wurde 1985 als Historic District in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Aufgrund seiner räumlichen Nähe zum Jamaica Pond wird der Park häufig als Verlängerung des Emerald Necklace nach Brookline angesehen. Merkmale Der heutige Park diente seit dem 17. Jahrhundert als landwirtschaftliche Nutzfläche und bildete zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts das umgebende Grundstück eines 25 Räume großen Anwesens, das in seinem Aussehen Lulworth Castle nachempfunden war und dem Namensgeber Larz Anderson gehörte. Es musste allerdings 1955 aufgrund von Baufälligkeit abgerissen werden. Immer noch vorhanden ist hingegen ein Teil der Automobilsammlung der Andersons, die im Larz Anderson Auto Museum besichtigt werden kann. Ebenfalls auf dem Parkgelände befindet sich das Schulmuseum Putterham School aus dem Jahr 1796. Eingebettet in eine Landschaft aus Grünflächen, Seen und Baumbeständen sind diverse Sportanlagen sowie eine Eisbahn. Darüber hinaus gibt es ein Naturaquarium, einen Chinesischen, Japanischen und einen Italienischen Garten sowie ein Bowling Green. Vom höchsten Punkt des Parks aus ist die Bostoner Skyline sichtbar, und aufgrund seiner offenen Gestaltung ist er sehr beliebt bei Kitesurfern.
