Massachusetts Hall (Harvard University)

Massachusetts Hall is the oldest surviving building at Harvard College, the first institution of higher learning in the British colonies in America, and second-oldest academic building in the United States after the Wren Building at the College of William & Mary. The building possesses great significance in the history of American education and in the development of the Thirteen Colonies during the 18th century. The building was constructed between 1718 and 1720. Massachusetts Hall was designed by Harvard Presidents John Leverett and his successor Benjamin Wadsworth. The building initially was a dormitory, including 32 chambers and 64 small private studies for the 64 students it was designed to house. During the Siege of Boston in the Revolutionary War, 640 American soldiers took quarters in the hall. Much of the interior woodwork and hardware, including brass doorknobs, disappeared at this time. While designed as a residence for students, the building has served many purposes through the years. After Thomas Hollis donated a quadrant and a 24-foot telescope in 1722, for example, the building housed an informal observatory. The president of the university, provost, treasurer, and vice presidents have offices that occupy the first two floors and half of the third. Freshmen reside in the fourth floor. Massachusetts Hall, as Harvard's oldest extant dormitory, has housed many influential people. Founding Fathers who lived in Massachusetts Hall include John Adams, Samuel Adams, Elbridge Gerry, John Hancock, and James Otis. Members of the Wigglesworth, Weld, Thayer, Eliot, and Lowell families (among others), whose names now grace other dormitories, also lived in Massachusetts Hall. More recent notable residents of Massachusetts Hall include Alan Jay Lerner, Elliot Richardson, John Harbison, and Jeff Schaffer.

Joint Base Cape Cod

The Joint Base Cape Cod is a state-designated joint base created by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States Department of Defense in 1935. Governor James Curley signed the state bill to allocate and purchase land for a military facility, and establishing a formal commission to manage this new state military property and personnel. After 22,000 acres (8,900 ha; 89 km2; 34 mi2) of land was secured on Cape Cod, the Massachusetts National Guard began erecting tents and a basic training program in the following year. Originally named Camp Edwards, and renamed as the Massachusetts Military Reservation, it was renamed in 2013 to Joint Base Cape Cod by Massachusetts; although having a name similar to many federal military installations, it has no federal recognition. 1970s Otis Air National Guard Base underwent boundary changes in 1975. This realignment included these installations: Otis Air National Guard Base, Camp Edwards, and the Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod. Cape Cod Space Force Station was created when the air force returned in 1978. The U.S. Air Force constructed the Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS). PAVE PAWS is designed to detect airborne ballistic missiles and monitor orbiting satellites. 2020s In the 2023 Pentagon document leaks the FBI arrested Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira, cyber transport systems journeyman of the 102nd Intelligence Wing, Joint Base Cape Cod for allegedly uploading Top Secret information to a Discord server, and charged with violating the Espionage Act.

Massasoit National Wildlife Refuge

Massasoit National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1983 to conserve the federally endangered Plymouth Red-bellied Turtle, as well as other wildlife and plant species. The Refuge encompasses 195 acres (0.79 km2) in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It is made up of two parcels; the Crooked Pond parcel abuts the Myles Standish State Forest, the second largest State forest in Massachusetts, and the smaller parcel is located on the shoreline of Island Pond. Massasoit National Wildlife Refuge is located within a 3,269-acre (13.23 km2) area designated as critical habitat for the Plymouth Red-bellied Turtle. It is closed to the public. Wildlife and habitat The Plymouth redbelly turtle subsists primarily on submergent vegetation, and requires good water quality and suitable basking, nesting, and overwintering sites free from disturbance. The turtles spend most of their lives in these freshwater coastal ponds in Plymouth and Carver, coming on land to bask (sun themselves) and breed in sandy soils. In addition to providing habitat for this endangered species, Massasoit NWR also provides habitat to a variety of birds that nest in the uplands and amphibians, reptiles, and fish that utilize the ponds. In addition, a variety of invertebrate species, many of which are rare, are found on nearby Myles Standish State Forest and may be present on the Refuge as well. Crooked Pond is a typical coastal plain pond occupying a depression connected hydrologically to an underground aquifer; hence, the water level of the pond changes with the water table. The water level is usually high in winter and spring, and generally much lower by late summer, exposing the shoreline. Three other ponds, Island, Gunners Exchange and Hoyts, are within 0.6 miles (1 km) of Crooked Pond. The southeastern corner of Gunners Exchange Pond and parcels on Island Pond are part of the Refuge. The upland habitat surrounding ponds on the Refuge is a mix of pitch pine — scrub oak and coastal oak/heath forest. Common species include: red maple, pitch pine, white pine, and scrub oak. The under-story consists of highbush blueberry, low sweet blueberry, bearberry and greenbrier. Pitch pine scrub oak communities need fire to maintain the community structure and diversity. The resinous, waxy cutins in the leaves of many of the plant species found in this community are highly flammable and easily ignite during dry periods. Today the area is generally protected from fire, resulting in a closed-canopy pine forest.

Mayall Bruner House

The Mayall Bruner House is a historic house at 36 Magnolia Avenue in the Newton Corner neighborhood of Newton, Massachusetts. Built in 1923, it is a well-preserved example of Craftsman architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Description and history The Mayall Bruner House stands in a residential area on the south side of Newton Corner, on the west side of Magnolia Avenue south of Kenrick Street. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a complex roofline that includes two front facing gables joined by a high cross ridge. At the sides the gable roofs extend further downward, to garden gate on one side and the main entrance on the other. The entry is sheltered by a hip-roof portico with a segmented-arch opening. Windows are of differing shapes and sizes, with one sash window topped by a rounded-arch fixed-pane window, and another that is a three-part picture window. The front-facing gables each have narrow four-over-four windows near their peaks. The south facade is defined by banks of tripled sash windows on both levels. The house was built in 1923 to a design by Arthur H. Bowditch, a Boston-based architect best known for his commercial buildings. The house is an excellent local example of rustic Craftsman styling. Its exterior has been little altered since construction; the most prominent change is the installation of the picture window, probably in the 1960s. Mayall Bruner was a wool merchant with offices in Boston. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Newton, Massachusetts References

Mechanic Street Cemetery

The Mechanic Street Cemetery is a historic early cemetery on Mechanic Street in Westfield, Massachusetts. The 4-acre (1.6 ha) cemetery is the city's oldest, with the oldest documented grave dating to 1683. It was used as a burying ground until the late 19th century, although its use began to decline in the middle of the century, with the advent of the popular rural cemetery movement, which was reflected in Westfield with the establishment of the new Pine Hill Cemetery in 1842. No burials were recorded in the 20th century. Although the cemetery has been subjected to some maintenance work, it continues to suffer the effects of vandalism and weather. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Description and history The Mechanic Street Cemetery is located about two blocks east of Westfield's downtown commercial district. It occupies an irregularly shaped parcel that is almost completely surrounded by residential development on Mechanic, North Cherry, East Bartlett, and White Streets. It is accessed via an entrance lane on Mechanic Street, roughly opposite Church Street. A cast iron gate is mounted on elaborately carved granite posts at the beginning of the lane, which is maintained as grass, and there is a modern granite marker identifying it as "The Old Burying Ground". The body of the cemetery lacks an overall plan. Graves are generally laid out in irregular rows, most with the gravestones facing east, a traditional practice in 17th and 18th-century burials. Some are organized into family plots with a large central marker, of which a few are ringed by iron fencing. The cemetery was filled roughly from east to west. The cemetery was formally established by 1677, not long after Westfield's 1669 settlement. Interments include virtually all of Westfield's early settlers, as well as prominent individuals through its period of use. It was enlarged in 1827 in order to meet increased demand from the city's growing population. In 1842 the city opened Pine Hill Cemetery on the outskirts of town, in the fashionable rural cemetery style. Burials continued in the old burying ground, however, until about 1875, when they dropped off significantly in number. The entrance gate was added in 1894, and its grounds were otherwise completely surrounded by development by 1912. Periodic inventories of the cemetery, taken through the 20th century, have identified losses and damage to headstone, due to weather and vandalism.
