Charles River School

Charles River School was founded by parents on the banks of the Charles River in Needham, Massachusetts, United States, in 1911. In 1917, the school moved to Dover, Massachusetts. Today the school serves children from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade Eight. The school is accredited by the Association of Independent Schools in New England. CRS Summer Programs The Charles River Creative Arts Program (CRCAP) was founded in 1970 to provide an environment in which young people could pursue an interest in the arts. As the school looks to expand its summer offerings, CRCAP has been dismantled. In previous years, approximately 550 students from around the state, ages 8 to 15, enrolled in the program each year. CRCAP students chose their own schedule from more than 130 classes in art, writing, media, performing arts, gymnastics, textiles, sports, photography, and more. Every summer the program produced two original musical productions, which were usually written by CRCAP alumni or staff members. Programs based on the CRCAP model have been established in 20 states, including six other programs in Massachusetts. CRCAP-inspired programs have also been initiated in Geneva, Switzerland, and Hong Kong. Guest artists to the program have included William Wegman, James Taylor, Madeleine l'Engle, Tracy Chapman, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Noel Stookey, William Hurt, Israel Horovitz, Jane Alexander, Yo Yo Ma, Elizabeth Swados, John Hockenberry, Julie Harris, Niia, and Matt and Kim. Beginning in 2021, plans were underway for a broader summer experience at CRS.

Charlestown Heights

Charlestown Heights, later known as Ensign John J. Doherty Park, is an urban park in Charlestown, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is one of five small urban parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted for the city. These parks were designed to provide greenspaces in densely populated neighborhoods. Charlestown Heights was laid out on the North side of Bunker Hill, sloping down the hill from Bunker Hill Street to Medford Street, between St. Martin Street and North Mead Street. The land on which the park would be built was once part of the vast estate of the Harris family. This parcel, which originally extended across Medford Street into unfilled Mystic River flats, was sold and mortgaged to William Dehon of Boston by Harris heirs in 1849 and remained in Dehon's estate until purchased by the City. The park was purchased by the City of Boston in July 1891, laid out shortly thereafter, and opened in 1895. It is divided into three sections. The uppermost section abutting Bunker Hill Street is a flat promenade with a central grassy area and lined with trees, paths, and benches. A monument commemorating the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill terminates the East end of the promenade. A large central area of the park contains active recreation facilities, and is the portion of the park which has been most altered from the original 19th-century Olmsted design. The Clougherty Pool complex includes a swimming pool and Moderne-style bathhouse designed by John M. Gray. The central portion of the park also includes basketball courts, a playground, and a wading pool. The lowest level of the park, abutting Medford Street, is a sloping meadow with naturalistic pathways meandering through it. Stairs in this section have granite risers, with cheeks of native Roxbury Puddingstone. The sinuous path has flares of granite pavers toward the top for drainage. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in northern Boston, Massachusetts References
Charlton Center Historic District

Charlton Center Historic District is an historic district roughly on Main Street from Mugget Hill Road to Masonic Home Road and adjacent roads in Charlton, Massachusetts.

Charlton Mill

Charlton Mill is a historic textile mill at 109 Howe Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1911, it is the last of the city's stone mill buildings to be built, and the first to feature the dual sources of steam and electrical power. The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The Charlton Mill stands in southern Fall River, on the west side of Cook Pond, south of the junction of Howe and Crawford Streets. The three-story mill measures 374 feet (114 m) long and 154 feet (47 m) wide. Smaller surviving buildings on the site include a boiler house, engine house and storage building. The building was originally powered by a 1,500 horsepower reciprocating steam engine and an 850-horsepower low steam turbine. The company also built a large one story weave shed to the north of the main mill (since demolished). Early plans included a second spinning mill to be located to the west of Mill No. 1, that was never built. The Charlton Mill was the last granite mill constructed in the city. It was built in 1911, with Earl P. Charlton, its principal investor, as president. Charlton was a successful businessman who had established a chain of 53 five and dime stores, and in 1912 became a co-founder of the F.W. Woolworth Company. Its main building provides a marked architectural contrast to earlier mills built in Fall River by its extreme width and large windows. By 1917, it contained 55,992 spindles and 1,300 looms, for the manufacture of fine and fancy cotton goods. The company was sold in 1938, and the facility remained in textile production at least into the 1980s.

Chatham Windmill

Als Chatham Windmill ist die auch unter der Bezeichnung Benjamin Godfrey Windmill bekannte Windmühle in Chatham im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Sie wurde 2012 umfassend restauriert. Geschichte Die Windmühle wurde 1797 von Benjamin Godfrey als eine der letzten Bauwerke ihrer Art in Chatham errichtet und entsprechend nach ihm benannt. Sie wurde zum Mahlen von Getreide genutzt, während andere Windmühlen in der Region auch als Wasserpumpwerke eingesetzt wurden, um die örtlichen Salinen mit Salzwasser zu versorgen. Nach einigen Eigentümerwechseln erwarb sie 1884 Zenas Nickerson für 400 US-Dollar (heute ca. 13.200 Dollar) und blieb im Familienbesitz, bis sie – durch einen Sturm 1907 schwer beschädigt und außer Funktion – im Jahr 1908 für 575 US-Dollar (heute ca. 20.200 Dollar) an Nelson Floyd verkauft wurde. Dieser verkaufte sie 1913 an Charles Hardy weiter, der sie zwar instand setzte, aber nur noch als Museum betrieb. Nachdem die Windmühle 1924, 1927 und 1932 bei weiteren Stürmen erneut Schaden genommen hatte, wurde sie 1939 an Stuart Crocker verkauft, der sie 1954 der Stadt Chatham mit der Auflage schenkte, sie von seinem Grundstück zu entfernen, was bereits im darauf folgenden Jahr umgesetzt wurde. Nach umfangreichen Renovierungen wurde sie 1956 wieder für die Öffentlichkeit geöffnet und 1978 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Anlässlich des 300-jährigen Bestehens der Stadt Chatham wurde die Windmühle von 2010 bis 2012 umfassend restauriert.

Chatham Windmill

The Chatham Windmill is a historic windmill at Chase Park in Chatham, Massachusetts. Built in 1797, it is one of the state's few surviving wooden windmills, and also one of the few still in working condition. The windmill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The Chatham Windmill is located southwest of downtown Chatham, in the southern section of Chase Park, between Shattuck and Gristmill Lanes. It is a wood-frame structure, set on a rise overlooking the Mill Pond on Chatham's south shore. It is about three stories in height, with an octagonal shape that tapers to a gabled cap and is covered in wooden shingles. The cap's side faces are slightly bowed. The wind vanes are attached to one of the gabled ends of the cap. Entrances are located at the northern and southern sides of the structures, and there are small windows on the second level. The mill was built in 1797 by Benjamin Godfrey and was used to grind corn. It was originally located on Stage Harbor Road and was moved to its present location in 1955, the year it was given to the town. The methods used in its construction suggest that the builder was from the southeast of England. The mill remained in commercial use until 1907 when it was significantly damaged in a storm. Although it was repaired, it was again damaged by severe weather in 1929. The mill has undergone several phases of rehabilitation, during which worn and rotted parts have been replaced. The mill is operated seasonally as a museum, and the town employs a miller to occasionally use it to grind grain.

Chelmsford Glass Works' Long House

The Chelmsford Glass Works' Long House is a historic tenement house at 139–141 Baldwin Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. The building, built in 1802 by the Chelmsford Glass Works to house some of its workers, is a series of 1–1/2 story Cape style wood-frame houses joined into a single structure. The building is one of the earliest industrial tenement structures built in the country. The glass works was established after the Middlesex Canal was opened, and needed to provide housing for its workers in what was then a somewhat rural location. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Lowell, Massachusetts References
Chelsea Garden Cemetery

Chelsea Garden Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery in Chelsea, Massachusetts. The cemetery was established in 1841 to provide the city a burying ground in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style, and was the first cemetery within the city limits. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Description and history Chelsea Garden Cemetery is located south east of the city's Bellingham Square civic center, and consists of a rectangular parcel about 3.2 acres (1.3 ha) in size. It has a network of paths which wind over the undulating terrain, rising from a low point in the southeast. One of its focal points was originally a man-made pond, located at the lowest point in the cemetery; it was filled in late in the 19th century. Another is the Soldiers Circle at main entrance, where a number of the city's Civil War dead are buried. The cemetery is estimated to hold more than 1,600 burials; due to the transient nature of the Chelsea population over the period of the cemetery's existence, with little historical continuity, it has had a history neglect and vandalism. The fringes of the cemetery were also damaged by the 1908 fire that devastated the city, and destroyed some cemetery records. Prior to construction of this cemetery, Chelsea's dead were buried in a colonial-era cemetery in nearby Revere. With heightened awareness of sanitation and hygiene, local citizens formed a cemetery association in 1841 for a private, non-sectarian burial ground. The first burial took place on December 7, 1841, and was a reburial of a Chelsea man who died in 1832 and had been buried in Boston. The cemetery was the city's only burying ground until 1851 when Woodlawn Cemetery was founded on land that is now part of Everett. The cemetery originally had a wooden fence around part of its perimeter, and a wooden gatehouse; these were casualties of the 1908 fire.

Chester Harding House

Das Chester Harding House ist das historische Wohnhaus des US-amerikanischen Malers Chester Harding in der Beacon Street im Bostoner Stadtteil Beacon Hill im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Obwohl Harding nur vier Jahre dort lebte, wird es heute noch mit ihm assoziiert. Es wurde 1965 als National Historic Landmark deklariert und 1966 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Zugleich ist das Gebäude Contributing Property des Beacon Hill Historic District. Architektur Das Haus steht auf einem nahezu rechteckigen Grundstück gegenüber der Einmündung der Bowdoin Street. Das vier Stockwerke hohe Haus mit Flachdach wurde 1808 von Thomas Fletcher im Federal Style entworfen und aus Mauerziegeln errichtet. Aufgrund seiner Größe und üppigen Ausstattung wurde es zunächst nach dem ersten Eigentümer als Amory’s Folly (deutsch etwa Amorys nutzloser Prachtbau) bezeichnet. Zu den äußerlichen Merkmalen zählen eine mit Säulen gestützte Eingangsüberdachung, flache Bögen über den Fenstern, deren Größe mit jedem Stockwerk abnimmt sowie ein aus Zahnschnitten bestehendes Gesims an der Dachlinie. Neben dem Eingang führte ein Bogengang zur Rückseite des Hauses. Die Innenaufteilung entsprach den meisten anderen Häusern dieser Epoche in Beacon Hill, d. h. die Küche befand sich im Souterrain, der Salon und das Esszimmer befanden sich im Erdgeschoss und die Schlafräume in den oberen Etagen. Nach dem Auszug von Chester Harding im Jahr 1830 wurde das Erscheinungsbild deutlich verändert, was sich heute insbesondere im 1885 neu gestalteten Eingangsbereich zeigt, dessen Überdachung wesentlich verbreitert wurde, sodass das erste und zweite Obergeschoss um die Dachfläche erweitert werden konnten. In den 1920er Jahren baute die Unitarian Church Association das Haus zum Bürogebäude um. 1963 übernahm die Boston Bar Association das Gebäude und renovierte es erneut. Im Souterrain wurden eine Küche und ein Esszimmer eingerichtet, eine Rezeption im Erdgeschoss, Büros und Konferenzräume im ersten und zweiten Stock sowie eine Bibliothek im dritten Obergeschoss. Ebenfalls wurden die Elektrik und Heizanlage modernisiert und die Erweiterung des zweiten Obergeschosses zurückgebaut. Die Inneneinrichtung wurde sorgfältig restauriert und ist in einigen Teilen noch im Original erhalten. Historische Bedeutung Der 1792 in Conway geborene Namensgeber Chester Harding lebte von 1826 bis 1830 in diesem Haus. Er zählte zu den erfolgreichsten Porträtmalern der Vereinigten Staaten und hatte schon vor seinem Umzug nach Boston eine Euphorie ausgelöst, die Gilbert Stuart als Harding fever bezeichnete. Obwohl er nur vier Jahre dort lebte, ist das Haus aufgrund seiner Persönlichkeit und Bedeutung seiner Werke bis heute mit seinem Namen verbunden.

Chester Harding House

The Chester Harding House is an historic building located at 16 Beacon Street in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, across from the Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965 for its association with the noted portraitist Chester Harding, whose home it was from 1826 to 1830. The building has since 1963 been home to the Boston Bar Association. History The four-story town house was built in the Federal architectural style as a private home by real estate developer Thomas Fletcher in 1808, at a time when Park Street and Beacon Street were lined by run-down public buildings. State officials decided to build replacements in other parts of the city, financing the construction of the new public buildings from the sale of the Park Street lots. In 1826, the famous American portrait painter Chester Harding bought the house, which he occupied until 1830. According to the Lawyers Pictorial Register, published by the Boston Bar Association in 1981, in the middle of the 19th century, the building was bought by Dr. Henry C. Angell, an art collector. As the neighborhood began to change from residential to commercial, many old houses were torn down and replaced by larger buildings which dwarfed the Chester Harding House. One such building is the 1884 six-floor Claflin Building. In 1919, the house was given by Martha B. Angell to the American Unitarian Association, which housed offices there until 1933. The American Unitarian Association loaned the house to Universalist Church of America until 1961, when the two merged. In January, 1962, the Boston Bar Association bought the house and moved its headquarters there from 35 Court Street. The Chester Harding House remains home to the Boston Bar Association. As commemorated on a plaque hanging on the left-hand side of the building, the Chester Harding House was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1965.
