East Chop Light

p4 Das East Chop Light (auch Telegraph Hill Light) ist ein historischer Leuchtturm auf dem Stadtgebiet von Oak Bluffs auf der Insel Martha’s Vineyard im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Das heutige Bauwerk wurde gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtet und 1987 im Rahmen der Multiple Property Submission Lighthouses of Massachusetts MPS in das National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eingetragen. Geschichte Der Leuchtturm befindet sich auf dem höchsten Punkt der Insel, der als Telegraph Hill bekannt ist und dem Bauwerk seinen umgangssprachlichen Namen gab. Es wurde bereits 1646 auf Karten eingezeichnet und von Beginn an als East Chop Light ausgewiesen; die englischen Siedler bezeichneten mit dem Begriff chop den Eingang eines Schifffahrtskanals. Das Gegenstück bildet dementsprechend das West Chop Light in Tisbury. 1869 errichtete Captain Silas Daggett an der Stelle des heutigen Leuchtturms eine privat betriebene Einrichtung, um aus östlicher Richtung kommende Schiffe in den Vineyard Haven Harbor zu leiten. Diese ging 1871 bei einem Brand verloren und wurde zunächst durch einen Turm, der auf das Dach eines Wohnhauses aufgesetzt wurde, ersetzt. Die Angaben zum Baujahr des heutigen Bauwerks reichen von 1876 bis 1878; so gibt die Massachusetts Historical Commission in ihrer Nominierung für das NRHP das Baujahr 1876 an, während der National Park Service ausführt, dass das United States Lighthouse Board das Grundstück 1878 erwarb und dort im selben Jahr den heute noch existenten Leuchtturm errichten ließ. In den 1880er Jahren wurde der Leuchtturm rotbraun angestrichen und brachte ihm den Spitznamen chocolate lighthouse ein. Erst 1988 wurde er wieder weiß überstrichen. Der Leuchtturm wurde 1933 automatisiert und am 15. Juni 1987 unter der Nummer 87001480 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Er befindet sich heute im Eigentum der Küstenwache der Vereinigten Staaten und wird von der Martha’s Vineyard Historical Society betrieben. Seit 1994 ist er öffentlich zugänglich. Architektur Der 40 ft (12,2 m) hohe Turm wurde im Italianate-Stil erbaut und erreicht durch seinen exponierten Standort auf dem Telegraph Hill eine Feuerhöhe von 79 ft (24,1 m). Er steht auf einem Fundament aus Beton und besteht selbst aus Gusseisen. Der zylinderförmige, nach oben hin konisch zulaufende Leuchtturm ist weiß gestrichen und verfügt über ein schwarz gestrichenes Feuerhaus. Technik Der Leuchtturm sendet alle 6 Sekunden im Gleichtakt (englisch Iso) ein grünes Licht aus, das bis zu 9 sm (16,7 km) weit zu sehen ist. Als Leuchtmittel dient seit 1984 eine 300-mm-Linse, welche die ursprüngliche Fresnel-Linse 4. Ordnung ersetzte.

East Lawn Cemetery and Sherman Burbank Memorial Chapel

East Lawn Cemetery and Sherman Burbank Memorial Chapel is a historic cemetery and chapel at 605 Main Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts, United States. Established in 1842, it is the newest and largest cemetery in Williamstown; the two older cemeteries date to the 18th century. It was established at a time when West Lawn Cemetery (established 1766) was in need of expansion, and this site was chosen for the location of a new cemetery. The initial few acres of land were donated by Asahel Foote, who sat on the committee formed to investigate the town's cemetery needs. The cemetery grew in size over the next several decades, reaching a size of about 40 acres (16 ha) by the early 20th century. Approximately half of the cemetery (representing its developed portion) and its associated chapel were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The Sherman Burbank Memorial Chapel was designed in 1935 by Frank Rushmore Watson in the Late Gothic Revival style, and dedicated in 1937. An associated cottage, probably intended for a caretaker, was also planned but never built. The funding for the chapel came from Sherman H. Banks of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, whose mother was from the Sherman family that was one of Williamstown's oldest. The chapel is located near the cemetery entrance, not far from Main Street. In addition to the main chapel chamber, it has a space off to one side for use as a receiving vault, and a porte cochere with a small hall and other facilities on the west side.

East Main Street Cemetery

The East Main Street Cemetery is a historic cemetery on East Main Street in Dalton, Massachusetts. The cemetery is one of the oldest in the town, with grave markers dating to the 1780s. It was founded on land owned by the Chamberlin family, whose identified graves make up about 20 percent of roughly 250 gravesites. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. History Recorded settlement of what is now Dalton, Massachusetts began in 1755, and the town was incorporated in 1784. The Chamberlin family, who were among its early settlers, owned the land along what is now East Main Street, and set aside this parcel of land as a burial ground. The oldest gravestone with a date is marked 1781; earlier burials are possible, but lack documentation and earlier gravestones may have been vandalized or stolen. Some time in the early 19th century (definitely by 1830) the town assumed ownership of the cemetery. The cemetery was used most heavily in the mid-19th century, with usage declining in favor of the Main Street Cemetery (also listed on the National Register of Historic Places), which was laid out in the rural cemetery style that had come into fashion. In contrast, burial practices at East Main Street continued to follow the early traditions, with simple headstones and a graves laid out in relatively straight rows. The last burial at East Main Street took place in 1895. In 1887 the town was asked to consider relocating the bodies in the cemetery to Main Street, but no vote was held on the matter. Facilities The cemetery is a plot of 2 acres (0.81 ha). Graves are arranged in rows emanating from a central aisle. In its early days the boundaries of the cemetery were marked by stone walls, but these were replaced in the 19th century by wood fencing, and chain link fencing in 1985. The stone gate marking the entrance is the most prominent feature of the cemetery. Most of the gravestones are modest in size and decoration; there are only five significant markers. The two largest of these flank the entrance gate, and are miod 19th century monuments for Chamberlin family members. A similarly styled monument to those two commemorates the Maynard family, while a squat obelisk in the tenth row marks graves of the Cleveland family. The most ornate marker is for James Bardin (died 1855): it has a high pedestal supporting a round column, topped by an urn and encircled by a wreath. Most of the cemetery's stones are not in very good condition. Many have been vandalized, and a number may have been stolen, given that surveys over the years show declining numbers of stones. Many stones have become difficult or impossible to read due to weathering, and some broken stones have simply been placed further into the ground, obscuring writing on the buried portions.

East Over Reservation

East Over Reservation ist ein 75 Acres (30,4 ha) großes Naturschutzgebiet bei der Stadt Rochester im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten, das von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet wird. Geschichte Das heutige Schutzgebiet war ursprünglich Teil einer weitaus größeren Fläche, die zu landwirtschaftlichen Zwecken genutzt wurde. Neben der klassischen Landwirtschaft wurden hier auch Moosbeeren angebaut, und zu Kolonialzeiten existierten mehrere Mühlen am Sippican River. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts begann der New Yorker Geschäftsmann Charles H. Leonard mit dem Umbau des Geländes und errichtete das heute noch zu sehende Netzwerk von Steinwällen. 1910 kaufte die Familie Hiller das Land und bewirtschaftete es für nahezu 100 Jahre. Von 2003 bis 2005 wurde das Schutzgebiet im Rahmen einer Kooperation der Trustees of Reservations, der Stadt Rochester und des Department of Agricultural Resources eingerichtet, um insbesondere die für die Region South Coast typischen, goldfarben angestrichenen Landwirtschaftsgebäude zu bewahren. Schutzgebiet Das Schutzgebiet befindet sich im Einzugsgebiet der Buzzards Bay, das einem immer stärker werdenden Entwicklungsprozess unterliegt. Die an Gemälde von Currier and Ives erinnernde Landschaft befindet sich in einem Wandel, sodass historisch wichtige Teilbereiche besondere Schutzmaßnahmen erfordern. Allein 40 Acres (16,2 ha) des Schutzgebiets bestehen aus Wiesen, die einen Lebensraum für Reisstärlinge, Wühlmäuse und Schmetterlinge bieten. Weitere 12 Acres (4,9 ha) ehemalige Weideflächen werden aktuell in Wald umgewandelt. Dort können Blauflügel-Waldsänger, Rötelgrundammern und Baumwollschwanzkaninchen beobachtet werden. In über das Schutzgebiet verteilten Feuchtgebieten leben darüber hinaus teilweise seltene Amphibien- und Reptilienarten. Die ersten Steinwälle dieser Region wurden von den Kolonisten eher planlos aus den vor Ort vorgefundenen Steinen jeglicher Größe und Geometrie errichtet. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurden diese Wälle dann zu einem ästhetischen Bestandteil der ländlichen Architektur und waren infolgedessen besser geplant und ausgestaltet. Die Wälle im Schutzgebiet sind sehr mächtig ausgelegt und mit individuell bearbeitetem Granit verkleidet; die Errichtung der 2 mi (3,2 km) langen Strecke rund um die Farmgebäude dauerte dementsprechend mehr als zehn Jahre. Den Besuchern stehen im kostenfrei zugänglichen Schutzgebiet mehrere Meilen Wanderwege zur Verfügung.

East Parish Burying Ground

East Parish Burying Ground, also known as Centre Street Burying Ground or Centre Street Cemetery, is a historic cemetery at Centre and Cotton streets in the village of Newton Corner, Massachusetts. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and has been called the "most important, the most evocative and also the most fragile historic site in the city." History East Parish Cemetery dates from the 1660s, when the term "parish" had both a political and religious connotation. The East Parish Church was also known as the First Church in Newton, organized in 1664, but was dissolved in 1973 after failed attempts to merge with its two offspring churches, Second Church in Newton (West Parish) and Eliot Church. First Church's last church building at 1115 Centre Street in Newton Centre is now the Greek Evangelical Church of Boston. First Settlers Monument The First Settlers Monument was erected September 1, 1852, to commemorate the first settlers of East Parish and has inscriptions on its four sides as follows: The north side inscription recounts that the first acre was given by Deacon John Jackson for the burial place and First Church, while his son Abraham Jackson gave the 2 acres (8,100 m2) that form the old part of the cemetery. Edward Jackson gave 20 acres (81,000 m2) in 1660 and another 31 acres (130,000 m2) in 1681. The west side inscription lists twenty early settlers with the year each settled in Newton as well as the year of death. The earliest year of settlement is 1640 and the latest is 1664. The south side inscription commemorates Thomas Wiswall, who was ordained ruling elder on July 20, 1664, and his four sons. The east side inscription commemorates the Reverend John Eliot Jr., first pastor of First Church in Newton, who was ordained July 20, 1664. It states also that his widow remarried, that his only daughter married, and that his only son went to Windsor, Connecticut, and died leaving a son. Location East Parish Burying Ground fronts on Centre Street on the west and on Cotton Street on the south, but the actual corner of those two streets is occupied by city-owned Loring Park, a long, narrow tract of 13,200 square feet (1,230 m2), whose longest side fronts on Centre Street. East Parish Burying Ground is bordered on the north and east by lands of the Centre Street congregation of the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. Cotton Street is the approximate boundary between Newton Corner to the north and Newton Centre to the south. Current status East Parish Burying Ground is owned today by the City of Newton, which lists it as "Centre Street Cemetery" with an area of 125,620 square feet (11,670 m2). Historic Newton manages the preservation of the graves and tombs of Newton's City-owned historic burying grounds.

Norcross Factory

The Norcross Factory is a historic building at 10 E. Worcester Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in stages beginning 1863, this structure includes one of the city's oldest school buildings, the East Worcester Grammar School, and represents an adaptive reuse of the building, serving from 1893 to 1918 as the main facility of the Norcross Brothers, a firm best known for its construction of H. H. Richardson designs. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Description and history The former East Worcester School and Norcross Factory is set on Worcester's east side, at the junction of Shrewsbury Street and East Worcester Street, just north of Worcester's main railroad yard and east of Interstate 290. This three story brick building was built in three stages, between 1863 and 1893. The oldest portion, the westernmost part of the structure, was originally built as a schoolhouse, and is one of the oldest surviving school buildings in the city. It was designed by E. Boyden & Son, based on an earlier school (no longer extant) on Salem Street. This section has a hip roof, paired entrances on the north and south facades, and granite window surrounds. It served as the East Worcester Grammar School until 1893. The school was purchased by the Norcross Brothers in 1893, and connected via additions to a planing mill they had built on an adjacent parcel in 1880-81. Both the additions and the planing mill are modest three-story brick structures, with flat roofs, corbelled cornices, and sandstone trim. This space was then used by the Norcrosses to as office space, and factory space in which they manufactured architectural building parts, including doors and window sashes, until 1918.
