Brightman Street Bridge

The Brightman Street Bridge is a 922-foot (281 m) long, four-lane wide drawbridge spanning the Taunton River between the town of Somerset and the city of Fall River, Massachusetts. It was authorized in 1903 by the state legislature, and building took place between 1906 and 1908, when it opened full-time on October 10, 1908. It was closed to vehicular traffic on October 11, 2011. At the time of its completion, it was the widest bridge to span the Taunton River, as the Slade's Ferry Bridge, a steel swingspan bridge built in 1875 less than a quarter mile downriver, was barely a two lane bridge. It once served as the pathway for Route 6 and Route 138 to cross the river into Fall River. Now the Veterans Memorial Bridge, just upstream, carries these routes between Somerset and Fall River. Replacement With the age of the bridge becoming a problem, as well as the rising costs of necessary upkeep and maintenance, talk began circulating about replacing the bridge as early as the late 1970s and early 1980s. Starting in 1983, plans were put in place to replace the bridge with a new, higher and wider span 1,500 feet (460 m) upriver, which would span from a proposed flyover intersection with Route 79 on the Fall River side, to a new access road through the former site of Slade's Ferry Park in Somerset. Plans were put on hold in 1989, when the Coast Guard protested the size of the opening of the bridge. Once details were worked out, work began in the late 1990s, but again with delays. This was due to money being taken away from the project for the well-over budget Big Dig project in Boston. Again the work was delayed until costs could be met. A third problem arose in 2008, when inspectors questioned the quality of the cement used in the main pilings for the bridge. This caused yet more delays as inspections and tests were needed on the piers. The bridge was finally completed in 2011. Around 2005, local officials pushed to keep the bridge intact even after its replacement was completed, as a way to stop the controversial LNG terminal to the north.

Broadway (MBTA-Station)

Broadway ist der Name einer U-Bahn-Station der Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) im Bostoner Stadtteil South Boston im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie bietet Zugang zur Linie Red Line. Geschichte Die Station Broadway wurde am 15. Dezember 1917 eröffnet. Der U-Bahnhof verfügte ursprünglich über drei Ebenen, die über Treppen miteinander verbunden waren und so einen schnellen Wechsel zwischen Straßenbahn und U-Bahn erlaubten. Die oberen beiden Ebenen (Straßenniveau und der obere Tunnel) waren den Straßenbahnen vorbehalten, während auf der untersten Ebene die U-Bahn verkehrte. Jede der drei Ebenen verfügte über zwei Gleise und einen Mittelbahnsteig. Die Straßenbahnlinien, die im oberen Tunnel hielten, wurden 1929 durch Busse ersetzt, die oberirdisch haltenden Straßenbahnlinien ereilte das gleiche Schicksal 1953. Seitdem ist das Bauwerk eine reine U-Bahn-Station. Im Jahr 2012 begann die MBTA mit dem Bau eines Notfall-Trainingszentrums im alten Straßenbahntunnel der Station. Das Department of Homeland Security stellte dafür Finanzmittel in Höhe von $ 8,8 Mio. zur Verfügung. Zur Trainingsausstattung gehören unter anderem zwei Waggons der Blue Line, ein Wagen der Green Line und ein Bus. Der erste Wagen der Blue Line wurde im September 2012 mit einem Kran über das Foundry Street Portal in den Tunnel hinabgelassen. Bahnanlagen Gleis-, Signal- und Sicherungsanlagen Der U-Bahnhof verfügt über zwei Gleise, die über einen Mittelbahnsteig zugänglich sind. Gebäude Der U-Bahnhof befindet sich an der Kreuzung von Dorchester Avenue und dem namensgebenden Broadway. Er ist vollständig barrierefrei zugänglich. Umfeld An der Station bestehen Anschlussverbindungen an drei Buslinien der MBTA. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Offizielle Website

Brockton Brightfield

Brockton Brightfield in Brockton, Massachusetts is a solar power plant in New England. Consisting of 1,395 photovoltaic panels on a 3.7-acre (1.5 ha) site, it has a maximum output of 425 kilowatts. It was officially opened on October 26, 2006, on the site of the former Brockton Gas Works. When built, the site was said to be the largest "brightfield" in the U.S., although other developments since then are larger. "Brightfield" is a term for an abandoned industrial site that has been turned into a solar-power facility. It is a blend of the words "bright" and "brownfield", the latter referring to abandoned, often polluted, industrial sites that have been redeveloped. It was the largest photovoltaic site in New England for several years, but was surpassed by several utility-owned sites in 2010.

Brockton City Hall

The city hall of Brockton, Massachusetts is located at 45 School Street. It is a predominantly brick 2+1⁄2-story building sited on an entire city block bounded by School Street, East Elm Street, and City Hall Square. The Romanesque Revival structure was designed by local architect Wesley Lyng Minor, and built in 1892–94. It has entrances on three sides, each under a round Richardsonian arch with carved voussoirs. Its most prominent feature is a five-story tower, decorated with terra cotta panels and topped by a steeply pitched Gothic style hip roof. The east elevation also has a three-story circular tower topped by a battlement. It was the first purpose-built building for housing the city's offices. The grand hall of the interior features murals depicting scenes of the American Civil War, painted by Richard Holland and Mortimer Lamb in 1893. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Plymouth County, Massachusetts References
Brookfield Cemetery

Brookfield Cemetery is an historic cemetery on Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9) on the west side of Brookfield, Massachusetts. Established in 1714, it is the town's only cemetery. It consequently holds the burials of many of Brookfield's founders and leading citizens, from the 18th century to the present, including those of neighboring towns that were once a part of Brookfield. The 43-acre (17 ha) cemetery has about 10,000 marked graves. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The cemetery was developed in three distinct phases. Brookfield once encompassed most of what is now the towns of Warren, West Brookfield, and East Brookfield, with the West Brookfield area being the earliest area of settlement in the 1670s. First known as Quaboag Plantation, it was abandoned after a 1675 attack by Native Americans in King Philip's War, and resettlement only began early in the 18th century. Burial practices before 1714 are poorly documented. In that year local church members set aside the first plot of land for burials; this was confirmed by town officials after Brookfield was incorporated in 1720. The cemetery was at first owned as part of church lands, but 5 acres (2.0 ha) (the westernmost portion of the modern cemetery) were deeded to the town of Brookfield in 1760, probably as part of the division of the town into three parishes (which later became Brookfield, East Brookfield, and West Brookfield). During the 19th century the town undertook a number of improvements to the cemetery. A stone wall was built around it in the 1850s, and a receiving tomb was added in 1861. The large granite entrance gate was built in 1873, the gift of local residents William Banister and Otis Hayden Banister, and its Civil War memorial was dedicated in 1890. These were added in the central section of the cemetery, which was laid out in the Victorian rural cemetery style that was then fashionable. The easternmost part of the cemetery was developed beginning about 1920, and has been expanded several times, most recently in 1996. Its layout reflects the aesthetics of the 20th Century Modern Cemetery movement. Notable interments Brookfield Cemetery has the burials of many notable figures: Dwight Foster, U. S. Senator and U.S. Representative Albert R. Howe- Union Army officer and politician who served as a single term as U.S. Representative for Mississippi.

Brookfield Common Historic District

The Brookfield Common Historic District encompasses a historically significant portion of the town center of Brookfield, Massachusetts. It is focused on the town common, which extends south from Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9) to Lincoln Street, and includes a dense cluster of houses on roads to its east, as well as properties on Main Street and the Post Road. The district includes more than 100 properties, including the Colonial Revival Town Hall (designed 1904 by Worcester architect George H. Clemence), Banister Memorial Hall (an 1883 Queen Anne building designed by Wait & Cutter of Boston, which now houses the Merrick Public Library), and Romanesque Revival Congregation Church (built 1857 to a design by Boyden & Ball). The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The town of Brookfield was one of the first English settlements in what is now southern Worcester County, dating to 1665. What is now Brookfield is the result of the division of the community in the 1750s, separating North Brookfield and West Brookfield. The original town center was located in what is now West Brookfield; the present town center is organized around a common established in 1735 as a militia training ground, and where the town's Third Parish Congregational Church was established. The oldest surviving buildings in the village are houses built in the 1790s in the Federal style. The Brookfield Inn was originally established in one of these early houses, but was replaced in the 1860s after the original house was destroyed by fire.

Brown House (Rehoboth, Massachusetts)

The Brown House is a historic house at 384 Tremont Street in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. This 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house has an unusual construction history. According to a local history, at its core is a structure built in the early 18th century, which was significantly modified and extended in the late 19th century with vernacular Italianate styling. The architectural evidence supports the idea that part of the house was in fact built in the 18th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Brown Square House

The Brown Square House, now the Garrison Inn, is a historic pair of rowhouses at 11 Brown Square in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Built in 1809–10, they form the largest surviving brick building from the Federal period in the city. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and included in the Newburyport Historic District in 1984. Description and history Brown Square is a narrow rectangular park at the northern end of a city block on the west side of Newburyport's downtown, bounded by Titcomb, Pleasant, and Green Streets on the west, north, and south, and by Brown Square on the south. The Brown Square House occupies the western end of the block facing the park to the north. It consists of a pair of similar brick rowhouses, each four stories in height. It is covered by a hip roof with a dentillated cornice. The brick is laid in Flemish bond. Each unit is four bays wide, with the entrances at ground level in the innermost bays, set in arched openings with flanking sidelights and fanlights above. Windows are set in rectangular openings with brownstone sills and splayed lintels. The two rowhouses were built in 1809 and 1810 by Moses Brown, a Newburyport landowner, shipbuilder, and shipping merchant. Brown, who had given the Brown Square park to the city, had planned to build a much longer row, but suffered financial reverses and was unable to build more than the pair. Sometime before 1849 the building was adapted for use as a boarding house. In 1922 it was turned into a hotel, named in honor of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, a statue of whom graces the square. That hotel closed in 1948, but the building has since been rehabilitated and reopened under the same name.

Browning Pond

Browning Pond is located in Oakham and Spencer, Massachusetts. This 89-acre (360,000 m2) great pond forms the headwaters of the Seven Mile River. It is part of the Chicopee River Watershed. Information A boat ramp is located at the southwest corner of the pond, along Browning Pond Road. In March 2025, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Fish and Game, Office of Fishing and Boating access, acquired about 12 acres of land including the boat ramp and announced plans to improve public access to the pond. Other lands adjacent to the pond are privately owned. The water is dark colored, but has a moderately high transparency of 10 feet (3.0 m). Aquatic vegetation and fallen trees provide cover and are scattered along the shoreline and in the northern cove. There is an old abandoned mine shaft that was used for mining copper. It can be found with the proper gear in the middle of the pond. There are also sunken rowboats and sailboats as well. Browning Pond is fed from numerous small-unnamed brooks and extended wetlands that run from Paxton and Rutland on the north and Oakham on west. There is a ridge in the Rutland State Park that divides the waters. Waters to its north flow into Long Pond, becoming part of the Ware River watershed, and waters to its south flow into Browning Pond. Fishing A 1979 fish sampling effort indicated a fish population composed of Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, Yellow and White Perch, Bluegills, Pumpkinseeds, Red Breasted Sunfish, Black Crappie, Brown Bullheads, Rainbow and Brook Trout, White Suckers, Golden Shiners, Chub Suckers and Darters. Browning Pond is managed for both warm water and cold-water fish. It is stocked with Trout in both the spring and autumn. Because it is somewhat acidic, Brook Trout are usually stocked in early spring, while Rainbow and Brown Trout are generally stocked in mid to late spring and fall. A limited amount of cold-water habitat persists through the summer and Trout can be expected in the deeper areas during the summer months. An excellent Largemouth Bass population is present and many large Bass were taken during the 1979 survey. The best fishing should be along the northern and eastern shores, as weed growth is most abundant in these areas. Pan fish are abundant and provide good fishing. Yellow Perch and Bullheads are of good size. Coordinates 42°18′48″N 71°59′46″W Pond center 42°18′30″N 71°59′46″W Dam References

Buckman Tavern

Die Buckman Tavern ist eine historische Gaststätte – heute ein Museum – gegenüber dem Lexington Battle Green in Lexington im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie war zu Beginn des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs Teil der Gefechte von Lexington und Concord und ist seit den 1960er Jahren als National Historic Landmark im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Architektur Das Gebäude steht auf einem 1,2 ha großen Grundstück östlich des Lexington Common, das als Merriam Estate bekannt ist und sich im Eigentum der Stadt Lexington befindet. Es wurde 1690 errichtet, später dann vergrößert und umgebaut, bis es 1775 sein heutiges Aussehen im Stil der Georgianischen Architektur erhielt. In den 1970er Jahren wurde es umfangreich modernisiert. Das zweistöckige Gebäude besteht vollständig aus Holz und verfügt über ein Walmdach, das von Dachgauben durchbrochen wird. Der Haupteingang ist außermittig an der Frontseite platziert und wird von Pilastern dorischer Ordnung flankiert, die ein Gebälk sowie ein Zahnschnitt-Giebeldreieck tragen. Zwei miteinander verbundene Anbauten grenzen im Nord- bzw. Südosten an das Hauptgebäude. Auf dem Grundstück befinden sich zudem – unter anderem – ein nordwestlich der Taverne stehendes, als Steinrelief ausgeführtes Denkmal an die Minutemen von Lexington, das von Bashka Paeff geschaffen und am 19. April 1949 eingeweiht wurde, sowie ein 1965 errichtetes Besucherzentrum. Historische Bedeutung Die Buckman Tavern ist das älteste Wirtshaus in Lexington und diente als Hauptquartier der Miliztruppen während der Gefechte von Lexington und Concord, die als der Beginn des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs gelten. In ihren Wänden sind heute noch die Spuren eingeschlagener britischer Musketenkugeln zu sehen. Das Gasthaus wurde nach John Buckman benannt, der es 1775 betrieb und zugleich den Minutemen angehörte. Die Milizen trafen sich dort während ihrer regelmäßigen Übungen auf dem benachbarten Lexington Common, sodass das Haus auch am 19. April 1775 als Versammlungsort diente, um sich auf die herannahenden britischen Truppen vorzubereiten. Das Gebäude wurde 1913 von der Stadtverwaltung erworben und an die Lexington Historical Society verleast, die es heute als Museum betreibt.

Buckman Tavern

Buckman Tavern is a historic American Revolutionary War site associated with the revolution's first battle, the 1775 Battle of Lexington and Concord. It is located on the Battle Green in Lexington, Massachusetts, and operated as a museum by the Lexington Historical Society. History The tavern was built in about 1709–1710 by Benjamin Muzzey (1657–1735), and with license granted in 1693 was the first public house in Lexington. Muzzey ran it for years, then his son John, and then at the time of the battle it was run by John's granddaughter and her husband John Buckman, a member of the Lexington Training Band. In those years the tavern was a favorite gathering place for militiamen on days when they trained on the Lexington Green. Lexington, unlike other local communities, did not establish a minuteman company, instead maintaining a training band for local defense. Battles of Lexington and Concord The Battle of Lexington and Concord took form before dawn on April 19, 1775. Having received word that the regular army had left Boston in force to seize and destroy military supplies in Concord, several dozen militiamen gathered on the town common, and then eventually went to the tavern to await the arrival of the British troops. Definite word reached them just before sunrise, and Captain Parker's company of militia left the tavern to assemble in two ranks on the common. Following the arrival of the army, a single shot was fired; by whom, it is still unknown. With this shot, the American Revolutionary War began. Although best known as the headquarters of the militia, Buckman Tavern is also noteworthy as perhaps the busiest of Lexington's 18th-century taverns. It housed the first village store in Lexington, and later, in 1813, the first town post office. Historic site The tavern's interior appears today very much as it did in 1775 and one can see the restored 18th-century taproom with large fireplace and central chimney. Among the many items on display is the old front door, with its bullet hole possibly made by a British musket ball during the battle, and a portrait of John Buckman. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.
