Paul Gibbs House

The Paul Gibbs House is a historic house at 1147 Edmands Road in Framingham, Massachusetts, US. Built in 1860 for a member of a prominent local family, it is a good example of Italianate architecture, probably the work of noted local architect Alexander Rice Esty. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The Paul Gibbs House stands in a rural area of northwestern Framingham, on the north side of Edmands Road, between Pine Hill and Nixon Roads. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a low-pitch hip roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. The roof has extended eaves, below which are shallow attic windows. The main facade is three bays wide, with a pair of projecting rectangular bays on either side of the main entrance. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a rounded transom window. A series of ells extends to the rear of the main block. The house was probably designed by architect Alexander Rice Esty, and built c. 1860 for Paul Gibbs. The attribution to Esty is based on surviving architectural elements that are similar to other documented works of his in Framingham. Gibbs was a member of the locally prominent Gibbs family, who had been major landowners of northwestern Framingham since the early 18th century, and the house was built around the time of his marriage. It is the last surviving house of a series of Gibbs family homes built in the area. The property associated with the house remained in use as farmland into the 1970s, although this house was converted in the 20th century for use as a tenant house by farm workers.

Peabody City Hall

Peabody City Hall is the historic city hall of Peabody, Massachusetts. It is located at 24 Lowell Street, near Peabody Square. History and architecture City Hall was built in 1883 as Town Hall, becoming City Hall when Peabody reincorporated as a city in 1916. The architect was Rufus Sargent of Newburyport. The building was built by Hamilton & Balcomb of Salem. The three-story Second Empire brick building was built in 1883. It follows a roughly square plan, with central projecting sections on each side, and a steeply pitched mansard-style roof with turret-like sections at the building corners. The front entry, facing Lowell Street, projects further than the others, with stairs leading to a recessed doorway sheltered by a portico supported by columns and pilasters. The building's red brick is set off by bands of granite trim, including that surrounding the arched portions of the building's windows. As built, the basement floor contained police offices and the first floor contained the government offices and a large hall. The second and third floors of the building was entirely taken up by an auditorium, used for performances and town meeting, later city council meetings. This space was decorated by Matthew L. Robinson of Boston. In 1946, due to structural weaknesses the auditorium was ordered closed by state officials, and city council moved into the large hall downstairs. In 1980 the building was restored, and city council moved back upstairs into the newly renamed Frank L. Wiggin Auditorium, and the police department moved to its own building, the former space being taken over by other government offices. In 2018 the auditorium was refurbished again, with hopes that it could be again used for performances. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and included in the Peabody Civic Center Historic District in 1980.

Peirce School

The Peirce School (also known as Old Peirce School) is a historic school building at 88 Chestnut Street, corner of Austin Street, in West Newton, Massachusetts. The brick building was built in 1895 and operated by the Newton Public Schools as an elementary school from 1895 until June 1951. It originally served grades one through eight, but at the time of its closing, it was a kindergarten through sixth grade (K–6) school. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 1979. Origin of name Peirce School, (originally pronounced as if it were spelled "Purse" but now usually pronounced as if it were spelled "Pierce"), was named for Cyrus Peirce, (1790–1860), a Unitarian minister and educator, who was the first principal (or president) of the first Normal School opened in the United States in Lexington and served as such from 1839 until 1842 when he retired because of poor health. In 1844 the Normal School was moved to West Newton and located on Washington Street on the site now occupied by the First Unitarian Society in Newton, which is also on the National Register. Peirce moved to Newton that year and resumed his leadership of the school and served until 1849, when he again retired because of ill health. Peirce lived the rest of his life in West Newton. The Normal School he headed is now Framingham State College, in Framingham, which considers him as its first president. Now Peirce moved to temple street. Description of building The Peirce School building was designed by Stickney & Austin, architects, in the style described as Colonial Revival, although today it might be described as Late 19th Century Public School. The exterior was built of granite, brick and sandstone with a slate roof. Although it is numbered 88 Chestnut Street, the building actually faces on Austin Street. The imposing entrance facing Austin Street was largely ceremonial and served as the place for taking class pictures. The plainer entrances at either end of the building were the ones used for ingress and egress. Present use The City of Newton assessment rolls show the building as vacant, but recent aerial photos show a paved parking lot with cars parked in it on the south side of the building. The building is called Peirce House and offers subsidized housing for seniors and disabled people. New Peirce School A new, more modern Peirce School was built at 170 Temple Street, corner of Berkeley Street in West Newton and opened in September, 1951 to replace the old Peirce School. Ann L. Caldwell, last principal of the old school, continued as principal of the new school. The new Peirce School is still in operation as a K-5 school.

Percy W. Bridgman House

Als Percy W. Bridgman House ist seit 1975 das ehemalige Wohnhaus des amerikanischen Nobelpreisträgers Percy Williams Bridgman im National Register of Historic Places mit dem Status einer National Historic Landmark eingetragen. Es befindet sich in der Stadt Cambridge im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Massachusetts. Das Gebäude ist heute Teil des Campus der Buckingham Browne & Nichols School und wurde von Bridgman von 1928 bis 1961 bewohnt. Historische Bedeutung Das um 1920 errichtete Bauwerk erhielt seine Bedeutung aufgrund seiner Verflechtung mit Percy Williams Bridgman, der dort nahezu sein gesamtes Arbeitsleben verbrachte. Nachdem er 1908 an der Harvard University zum Doktor der Physik promoviert worden war, wurde er Mitglied der dortigen physikalischen Fakultät. Er lehrte als Professor in Harvard bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Jahr 1954 im Alter von 72 Jahren. Anders als die meisten seiner zeitgenössischen Fachkollegen konzentrierte er sich lieber auf traditionelle physikalische Themen und weniger auf die Relativitätstheorie oder Quantenphysik. Er beschäftigte sich hauptsächlich mit der Hochdruck-Physik und erhielt für seine diesbezüglichen Arbeiten und Erkenntnisse 1946 den Nobelpreis für Physik. Eines der bekanntesten praktischen Ergebnisse seiner Erfindung eines besonderen Hochdruckbehälters war die erstmalige Erzeugung künstlicher Diamanten in einem Labor von General Electric im Jahr 1955.

Percy W. Bridgman House

The Percy W. Bridgman House is an historic house at 10 Buckingham Place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. It is a National Historic Landmark, notable for its associations with Dr. Percy Williams Bridgman, a physicist, Nobel Prize winner, and Harvard University professor. It is now part of the Buckingham Browne & Nichols (BBN) Lower School campus. The house is an architecturally undistinguished 21⁄2 story house built about 1920 in a Neo-Rationalist style. At the time of its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1975, the house had not been significantly altered since Dr. Bridgman's death in 1961. It was acquired by the BBN School not long after his death, which has used it for a variety of purposes, including as a faculty residence and lounge. It is used for school offices. Percy Bridgman (1882–1961) was born in Cambridge, raised in Newton, and educated at Harvard. After receiving his Ph.D. in physics in 1908, he was invited to join the Harvard physics faculty, where he remained for the rest of his life. Bridgman's primary area of research was high pressure physics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics (the fifth American to be so honored) in 1946 for his development of equipment for advancing research in that field. He also wrote extensively on the epistemology of physics and the sciences, advancing an idea that became known as operationalism, the view that the concept underlying any measurement was synonymous with a corresponding set of operations performed in making the measurement. Bridgman moved into this house in 1928, and lived there for the rest of his life.

Pest House (Concord, Massachusetts)

The Ephraim Potter House, a historic house and former pest house at 158 Fairhaven Road in Concord, Massachusetts, is also known as the Pest House, a name used in the 18th century to describe a building in which to quarantine those afflicted with communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, or smallpox. The house was built before 1792 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, where it is listed at 153 Fairhaven Road. John Fitzgerald, the current owner of this old property, describes that it is his "dream is to keep it standing." The booklet, "Old Houses of Concord", by Mary R. Fenn contains the following information on the Ephraim Potter House: "Deacon Luke Potter, one of the first settlers, lived on the corner of Heywood Street and Lexington Road. His son Judah was the only one to perpetuate the family name before Judah's death in that house when it burned to the ground (June 20, 1721). Deacon Luke had acquired a large tract of land in the south quarter, in the vicinity of Fairhaven Road. At the time of the second division, houses were built on the property." "In 1752, Ephaim Potter married Sarah Taylor, which probably dates this house. Ephraim was one of the men who stored provincial supplies in his house prior to the Revolution - tents, tow cloth, canteens, etc." "At the time of the smallpox epidemic, vaccination was a newfangled idea; many people thought it was dangerous. When Ephraim's wife died of smallpox in 1792, it was thought to be important to engrave on her headstone that she had taken the disease in the natural way. She was buried in the small cemetery diagonally across from the house (across Route 2). Although hers is the only gravestone, it is thought that there are other graves there as well. The Potter House was used at this time as a hospital for those who were recovering from their vaccination treatment. Dr. Barrett was in the house one day when a traveler knocked on the door and asked if this were the hospital. "Yes," replied the doctor, "and I am one of the patients." "Elbridge Hayden bought the house in the early eighteen hundreds". Historical Ownership of the House Ownership records below with references were identified during a review of deeds at the Middlesex County Registry of Deeds. Ephraim Potter, builder ca. 1752.

Peter and Oliver Tufts House

The Peter and Oliver Tufts House (also known as the Peter Tufts House) is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built about 1714, it is one of the oldest houses in the city's Winter Hill neighborhood, and was owned in the 19th century by members of the Tufts family responsible for developing the city's brickyards. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Description and history The Tufts House is located on the west side of Sycamore Street, a residential street running north–south between Medford Street and Highland Avenue on the southwest side of Winter Hill. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gambrel roof, two chimneys, and clapboard siding. Its main facade faces east, and is symmetrically arranged, with a center entrance sheltered by an Italianate hood with heavy brackets. The oldest part of the house was built around 1714. The house "was originally built on Barberry Lane (Highland Ave.)" From 1775 to 1776, the house served as headquarters for General Charles Lee of the Continental Army during the siege of Boston. It was acquired in 1778 by Peter Tufts, grandson of the Peter Tufts who emigrated to America in 1646, and who operated a ferry from Charlestown to Malden, and remained in the Tufts family until the early 20th century. In the 1820s Charlotte Cushman, the noted Boston actress, spent her childhood holidays at 'Uncle Oliver's Farm'". Peter Tufts eventually acquired a large parcel of farmland on the south side of Winter Hill. What is now Sycamore Street was originally the drive leading to the house. Peter and Oliver Tufts were, in addition to the farm, involved in establishing some brickyards that were an important business in Somerville in the 19th century.
