Deane-Winthrop-Haus

Das Deane-Winthrop-Haus ist eines der ältesten erhaltenen Gebäude im Bundesstaat Massachusetts und zugleich dasjenige, das in den USA am längsten durchgängig bewohnt ist. Es befindet sich nahe Boston in Winthrop in der Shirley Street 40. Es ist nach Deane Winthrop (1623–1704), dem sechsten Sohn von John Winthrop (1588–1649, Gouverneur der Massachusetts Bay Colony von 1629 bis zu seinem Tod) benannt, dem zweiten Gouverneur der Kolonie. 1990 wurde es in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Geschichte Der älteste Teil des Gebäudes, das derzeit von der Winthrop Improvement and Historical Association unterhalten wird, entstand um 1675. Die Vereinigung ließ 2009 eine Erweiterung der Scheune vornehmen, um Artefakte und Dokumente unterbringen zu können. 1637 verlieh die Town of Boston Land am seinerzeitigen Pullen Point an fünfzehn Männer. Einer von ihnen war Captain William Pierce, ein puritanischer Skipper auf der Mayflower und Sklavenhändler. Am 26. Februar 1638 notierte John Winthrop, Pierce sei auf dem Schiff Desire von den Westindischen Inseln mit Sklaven an Bord zurückgekehrt. Er errichtete das erste Gebäude an dieser Stelle wenig später. 1647 kaufte Deane Winthrop das Gebäude mitsamt Land, also der Plantage seines Vaters und der von Pierce, und lebte dort zusammen mit seiner Frau Margaret Tyndal Winthrop bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1704. Er errichtete das jetzige Gebäude in den 1670er Jahren. 1696 wurde das 6 * 8 m messende Einraum-Gebäude ostwärts erweitert, der Kamin stammt aus den 1700ern. Seither wurde es nicht umgebaut. Von den neun Kindern der Winthrops starben vier. In seinem Testament erscheinen drei Sklaven namens „Marreat, Primas und ein Kind namens Robin“. Vermutlich wurden auch sie in der Nähe des Hauses beigesetzt, doch fand sich bisher kein Grab. Deanes Bruder John († 1676) war lange Gouverneur der Kolonie Connecticut. 1907 kaufte die Winthrop Improvement and Historical Association das Haus. Die im Laufe der Zeit entstandenen Nebengebäude wurden entfernt, das Gelände geebnet, Bäume angepflanzt. Heute wird das Haus von Barbara und Patricia Harrison bewohnt, die dort dauerhaft leben und sich um das Gebäude kümmern.

Deane Winthrop House

The Deane Winthrop House is an historic house at 34 Shirley Street in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Deane Winthrop (1623–1704) was the sixth son of the second colonial governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop. The oldest part of the house was built about 1675 with an addition made in 1696. It is currently owned by the Winthrop Improvement and Historical Association and is open to visitors by appointment. This building is one of the oldest wood frame houses in the country and is the oldest continuously lived in home in the United States. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. In 2009, an addition was made to the barn to store Winthrop Improvement and Historical Association artifacts and documents. Originally thought to have been constructed earlier, a dendrochronology survey of the tree rings in 2002 confirmed that the earliest part of the house was built in 1675. Coat of arms The coat of arms displayed on the Deane Winthrop House are the arms of Deane's father, Governor John Winthrop, and thus it was also used by his sons. The Winthrop coat of arms is additionally used by Winthrop House at Harvard University. The arms were reportedly confirmed by the College of Arms, London, to Governor Winthrop's paternal uncle in 1592. The heraldic blazon of arms is: Argent three chevronels Gules overall a lion rampant Sable.

Deerfield Academy

Deerfield Academy (auch Deerfield oder DA) ist eine private US-amerikanische High School, eine College Prep School in Internats- und Tagesform in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Gegründet wurde die Schule 1797 und weist heute etwa 650 Schüler aus 42 Staaten auf. Sie ist Mitglied der elitären Privatinternatevereinigung Eight Schools Association. Im Schuljahr 2024–25 betrugen die Schulgebühren im Internat $ 74.440 und in der Tagesschule $ 53.860. 40 % der Schülerschaft erhielten finanzielle Unterstützung, 48 Schüler waren ganz kostenfrei (7,4 %). Das Stiftungsvermögen der Schule betrug 2024 $ 920 Millionen. Viele Schüler wechseln auf die renommierte Brown University. Geschichte Die Gründung der Deerfield Academy erfolgte 1797, nachdem der Gouverneur von Massachusetts Samuel Adams eine Genehmigung für eine Schule gewährt hatte "for the promotion of Piety, Religion & Morality, & for the Education of Youth in the liberal Arts & Sciences, & all other useful Learning". Der Unterricht begann 1799 bereits in koedukativer Form. Der Ort Deerfield lag an der westlichen Grenze der europäischen Siedlungen, über hundert Schüler kamen aus der Stadt und näheren Umgebung. Die Stadt musste 1859 eine kostenfreie staatliche Schule anbieten, die der Privatschule organisatorisch beigegeben wurde. Daher flossen Steuermittel in die Finanzierung neben privaten Stiftungen. Um 1900 war die Einwohnerzahl derart gesunken, dass nur ca. 15 Schüler kamen. Der neue Schulleiter Frank Boyden bildete eine Internatsschule nur für Jungen, die das ganze Land ansprach und den Unterricht auf die Aufnahme durch die bekannten Colleges wie Princeton konzentrierte. Dazu kamen Sport und moralische Erziehung. Als die Stadt die Subvention einstellte, halfen andere Schulen wie die Taft School aus. Deerfield wurde zum Auffangschule für Schüler mit schlechten Leistungen und erwarb einen so hohen Ruf, der auch hochvermögende Spender anzog wie Nelson Rockefeller und John Gideon Searle, die ihre eigenen Söhne dorthin sandten. Die Schulgebühren wurden immer höher und die Schülerschaft elitärer bis zur Pensionierung Boydens 1968. Mädchen wurden erst 1989 wieder zugelassen unter Protest der Schülerschaft. Weil König Abdullah II. von Jordanien die Schule besucht hatte, gründete er 2006 eine Tochterschule in Madaba. Im jüngeren nationalen Schulranking der USA nahm die Deerfield Academy einen vorderen Platz in Massachusetts, aber keinen Topplatz landesweit ein.
