Button Island (Massachusetts)

Button Island ist eine Insel in der Hingham Bay im Boston Harbor. Sie liegt 12,5 mi (20,1 km) vom Bostoner Stadtzentrum entfernt auf dem Gebiet des Bundesstaats Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Button Island verfügt über eine dauerhafte Fläche von ca. 0,61 Acres (ca. 2.470 m²), die durch ein Watt je nach Tidenhub temporär um weitere 115 Acres (0,46 km²) vergrößert wird. Sie wird von der Stadt Hingham verwaltet und ist Teil der Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Geographie Geologie Die Insel ragt ca. 10 ft (3 m) aus dem Wasser und besteht hauptsächlich aus Geschiebemergel. Flora und Fauna Auf Button Island gedeiht eine sehr große Eiche, die dort im späten 19. Jahrhundert angepflanzt wurde. Daneben gedeihen weitere kleinere, aber dennoch ausgewachsene Eichen sowie Linden, Zedern und Rhus. Zu den auf der Insel vorkommenden Sträuchern zählen Myrica und Kratzbeeren. In der Gezeitenzone wachsen verschiedene Gräser und Strandflieder. Geschichte Sehr wahrscheinlich wurde die Insel bereits von den Indianern saisonal genutzt. Die ursprünglichen Baumbestände wurden vermutlich von den Kolonisten für die Nutzung als Feuerholz entfernt. Heute befinden sich auf der Insel rund 20 Bäume sowie dichte Brombeersträucher im Unterholz. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Boston Harbor Islands.

C. C. Crowell House

The C. C. Crowell House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built about 1890, it is a good example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture built from a pattern book design. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Description and history The C. C. Crowell House is located in Somerville's central Spring Hill neighborhood, at the southeast corner of Benton Road and Hudson Street. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. The house is laid out in cross gable style, with a semicircular porch facing the street corner. The porch is decorated with turned posts, jigsaw struts, and a carved frieze. The upper levels are decorated with bands of cut shingles, and the extended eaves are decorated with modillions. There are two-story polygonal window bays projecting on both street-facing facades, with wood panels below the first floor windows, and decorative shingling between the floors. The house was built about 1890; its first documented occupant was C. C. Crowell, a printer. The house bears some resemblance to the Lemuel Snow, Jr., House next door, whose massing and scale are similar. Both appear to have elements taken from pattern books, although those of this house are of a lighter character than those of its neighbor.

Calf Pasture Pumping Station Complex

The Calf Pasture Pumping Station Complex is a historic sewage treatment facility at 435 Mount Vernon Street on Columbia Point in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts which was built in the 1880s. The surrounding community was, in the 17th and 18th centuries, and through to the mid-19th century, a calf pasture: a place where nearby Dorchester residents took their calves for grazing. It was largely an uninhabited marshland on the Dorchester peninsula. Its size was originally 14 acres (5.7 ha). Many landfills, subsequent to that time, have enlarged the land size to 350 acres (140 ha) in the 20th century. In the 1880s, the calf pasture was used as a Boston sewer line and pumping station, known as the Calf Pasture Pumping Station Complex. This large granite structure, the first sewage treatment station built in the city, was built in 1883. It still stands and in its time was a model for treating sewage and helping to promote cleaner and healthier urban living conditions. It pumped waste to a remote treatment facility on Moon Island in Boston Harbor, and served as a model for other systems worldwide. This system remained in active use and was the Boston Sewer system's headworks, handling all of the city's sewage, until 1968 when a new treatment facility was built on Deer Island. The pumping station is also architecturally significant as a Richardsonian Romanesque designed by the then Boston city architect, George Clough. It is also the only remaining 19th-century building on Columbia Point. The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. In January 2020, the University of Massachusetts Building Authority issued a request for information from developers to restore the facility and to construct a mixed-use facility on an adjacent 10-acre site, receiving eight proposals in response by the following September. In July 2021, UMass officials issued a request for proposal for the facility and the adjacent site. In April 2024, the Boston Landmarks Commission held a virtual public meeting on whether to designate the facility as a Boston Landmark. The Commission approved a report recommending the site as an official city landmark designation, pending official approval. In November 2024, the Calf Pasture Pumping Station was designated a Boston Landmark.

Calvinistic Congregational Church

The Calvinistic Congregational Church is an historic church building located at 820 Main Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. In 1967, the congregation joined with the First United Methodist Church of Fitchburg to form a cooperative ministry called Faith United Parish. Built in 1896. the church was designed by architect Henry M. Francis, and is one of the city's finest examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Since 2018 the building has been owned by the Casa De Gracia y Restauración (House of Grace and Restoration). Architecture and history The Calvinistic Congregational Church building stands at the southern end of the Fitchburg Upper Common, adjacent to the city's central business district. It is a rectangular structure, built out of red sandstone and brick. Its gable roof is oriented parallel to Rollstone Street, which runs just north of the building. The front gable is stepped and is topped by a finial; a lower cross gable on the side is also stepped. A tall tower, over 158 feet (48 m) in height, stands at the corner of the two streets, rising to a clock level, belfry, and octagonal spire. A lower tower stands at the right rear of the sanctuary, the cross gable between them set above a group of four windows with a half-round window above the center two. The interior decoration includes five Tiffany windows. The congregation that had the church built in 1896 was founded in 1802 as a traditional Congregationalist alternative to Fitchburg's first church, founded in 1768 and converted to Unitarianism at the time of the split. This congregation built its first church in 1806, and a larger one in 1845. The present building was built, its design probably a gift of local architect Henry M. Francis, who was one of its parishioners late in his career. The church is one of his finest examples of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, and one of the finest example of that style in the city. The Calvinist Congregational Church, its enrollment declining, entered a ministry union with the First United Methodist Church (formerly located on Fox Street in Fitchburg) in or about 1967. Although the congregations were separately managed (retaining separate affiliations with the United Church of Christ and the United Methodist Church), they shared the facilities and the minister. The old Fox Street Methodist Church building was sold off (and was later demolished). Building sale and dissolution of Faith United In 2013 a dwindling and aging membership of Faith United was experiencing difficulty in maintaining the property. The building was sold to Casa De Gracia y Restauración, or the House of Grace and Restoration. The three congregations continued to meet in the building until the Faith United members decided to disband in 2017. Faith United held its final worship service on June 24, 2018. As of August 2020 the building continues to be used by Casa De Gracia y Restauración. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Worcester County, Massachusetts References
