Sarah Island (Massachusetts)

Sarah Island ist eine Insel in der Hingham Bay im Boston Harbor. Sie liegt 12 mi (19,3 km) vom Bostoner Stadtzentrum entfernt auf dem Gebiet des Bundesstaats Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Sarah Island verfügt über eine Fläche von ca. 4,6 Acres (ca. 1,9 ha), wird von der Stadt Hingham verwaltet und ist Teil der Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Geographie Geologie Die Insel besteht zum größten Teil aus dem lokal vorkommenden Gesteinskonglomerat Roxbury Puddingstone sowie Geschiebemergel und ragt bis zu 30 ft (9,1 m) aus dem Wasser auf. Flora und Fauna Auf der Insel wachsen große Bäume wie Ahorne, Eichen, Linden, Ulmen, Zedern, Zürgelbäume, Spätblühende Traubenkirschen, Kreuzdorne und Rhus. Abgestorbene Bäume dienen Vögeln wie Kormoranen, Silberreihern und Möwen als Ansitz. Geschichte Die Insel wurde bereits von den Indianern saisonal genutzt. Die europäischen Kolonisten fällten die Bäume auf der Insel, um Brennholz zu gewinnen. Bevor John Langlee die Insel im Jahr 1686 erwarb, war sie auch als Sailor’s Island bzw. Sayles's bekannt. Später ging sie in das Eigentum von John R. Brewer über, und einer seiner Nachfahren übereignete sie schließlich an die Stadt Hingham. Sehenswürdigkeiten Die Insel bietet keine besonderen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Behörden raten im Gegenteil davon ab, sich ihr zu nähern, insbesondere während der Brutzeit der dort lebenden Vögel.

Sarah Island (Massachusetts)

Sarah Island is an island in the Hingham Bay area of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. The island has a permanent size of just under 5 acres (20,000 m2), and is composed large outcroppings and ledges of Roxbury puddingstone together with glacial till which rises to a height of 30 feet (9.1 m) above sea level. The ledges, beaches and mudflats make the ideal nesting place for gulls. The island was purchased by John Langlee in 1686, later passing to John R. Brewer, at the time the owner of nearby World's End. Today it is managed by the town of Hingham and access is by private boat only. Access by humans is discouraged during the nesting season.

Sarah Orne House

The Sarah Orne House is an historic house at 10 Coolidge Hill Road in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this house was built in 1807 by John Orne, and originally functioned as a store. It was moved in 1809 and expanded into a house by Orne's mother Sarah. It is now a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a single-story porch spanning its front. The central window on the second floor has a rounded arch. The house was associated with the city's last working farm, which operated in the Coolidge Hill area. The former service wing of the house was separated from it in the 1930s, and now stands as a separate residence at 8 Coolidge Hill Road. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Cambridge, Massachusetts References

Savin Hill (MBTA-Station)

Savin Hill ist der Name einer U-Bahn-Station der Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) im Bostoner Stadtteil Dorchester im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie bietet im gleichnamigen Bezirk Zugang zum Ashmont-Zweig der Linie Red Line. Geschichte Im November 1845 wurde eine Station namens Savin Hill in der Nähe des heutigen U-Bahnhofs für die Old Colony Railroad errichtet. Im Dezember 1872 eröffnete die Gesellschaft ihren Shawmut-Zweig nach Milton und brachte damit auch den Schienenpersonennahverkehr nach Savin Hill – in diesem Zuge wurde das Bahnhofsgebäude an seine heutige Position verlegt. Im September 1926 wurde der Betrieb auf der Strecke eingestellt, und die Boston Elevated Railway, die die Linie gekauft hatte, begann mit dem Ausbau der Strecke. Der U-Bahnhof wurde an gleicher Stelle neu als Teil der Erweiterung des Cambridge-Dorchester-Tunnels gebaut und am 5. November 1927 gemeinsam mit den Stationen Columbia und Fields Corner eröffnet. Von 2004 bis 2005 erfolgte ein vollständiger Neubau des U-Bahnhofs, um ihn im Einklang mit dem Americans with Disabilities Act barrierefrei zugänglich zu machen. Bahnanlagen Gleis-, Signal- und Sicherungsanlagen Der U-Bahnhof verfügt über zwei Gleise, die über einen Mittelbahnsteig zugänglich sind. Auf außerhalb parallel verlaufenden Gleisen verkehren der Braintree-Zweig der Red Line und einige Linien der MBTA Commuter Rail, ohne in Savin Hill zu halten. Gebäude Der U-Bahnhof befindet sich an der Adresse 121 Savin Hill Avenue. Er ist vollständig barrierefrei zugänglich. Umfeld An der Station besteht ein indirekter, da 0,1 mi (0,2 km) vom Bahnhofsgebäude entfernt gelegener Anschluss an eine Buslinie der MBTA, darüber hinaus stehen 20 kostenpflichtige Park-and-ride-Parkplätze zur Verfügung.

Savoy Mountain State Forest

Savoy Mountain State Forest is a Massachusetts state forest located primarily in the towns of Savoy and Florida, with portions extending into neighboring Adams and North Adams. Situated along the Hoosac Mountain Range, it features four ponds (North, South, Bog, and Burnett), and seven hill and mountain summits, including Lewis Hill (2177 ft), Flat Rock Hill (2195 ft), Spruce Hill (2566 ft), and Borden Mountain (2505 ft). Also within the forest are at least two notable waterfalls, Parker Brook Falls and Tannery Falls, the latter of which is a 100-foot (30 m) drop. The forest is managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. History Savoy Mountain State Forest was created when the state purchased 100 acres (40 ha) of abandoned farmland in 1918. Much of the land was reforested with Norway and blue spruce by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The CCC also built concrete dams at Bog, Burnett and Tannery ponds, replacing older dams. A total of 120 acres (49 ha) of old growth forest have been identified in the state forest near the Cold River and Tannery Falls. Trees in the old growth include eastern hemlock, red spruce, yellow birch, and sugar maple. They range from 150 to 400 years in age. Activities and amenities North Pond and South Pond offer swimming, showers, restrooms, picnicking, and a boat ramp for non-motorized boating. Bog Pond also has a canoe launch. The forest has 45 campsites and four log cabins available for rental. Trails are available for hiking, mountain biking, birding, and cross-country skiing. The forest also has interpretive programs, fishing, and restricted hunting.

Sawins Pond

Sawins Pond is a man-made pond created in the 19th century in Watertown, Massachusetts, USA. Its banks were the site of an upscale hotel, and it was a popular fishing and swimming spot. It was then used by Hood Rubber Company, and then BF Goodrich. They deposited scores of barrels onto the site, filled with rubber scraps. Boston Edison/NSTAR and PCBs Boston Edison Company (currently NSTAR) for many years operated a facility just behind the Watertown Mall. From this facility, there are culverts (large underground water drains) that carry storm water and drains under the mall parking lot, into the Sawins and Williams Pond. Boston Edison used PCBs extensively in the 1970s and 1980s, and still does to this day, albeit on a much more limited basis. During the 1980s and 1990s, there were documented spills at the Boston Edison/NSTAR facility at 480 Arsenal Street. Most of these spills were transformer oil, most of which contains PCBs. In 1982, over 1,100 gallons of PCBs spilled from a truck and went into a storm drain. Unfortunately the spill was not realized by Boston Edison (now NSTAR) company until about a month later, according to EPA and DEP reports. Almost one thousand gallons of high PCB oil reached Sawins, some of it was recovered by Boston Edison company through remediation efforts on the property. The rest is likely to have made its way into the Charles River, with the balance remaining in the pond sediments and comprising the detectable elevated levels seen by scientists today. NSTAR, a major New England public electric utility, is responsible for the PCB pollution, but has refused to pay for the cleanup or for any assessment/engineering costs.
Scargo Tower

Scargo Tower is a 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) cobblestone tower located atop Scargo Hill in Dennis, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. History There have been three Scargo towers at this spot. The first tower was built in 1874 by the Tobey family. Constructed out of wood, it was destroyed by a gale in 1876. The second tower, known as "Tobey Tower" and also made of wood, burned down in 1900. The present tower was built of cobblestone in 1901 as a memorial to the Tobey family. The current tower, atop the area's tallest hill above the kettle of Scargo Lake, stands 30 feet high and 160 feet above sea level. The top of the tower provides a panoramic view that, on a clear day, extends as far as Provincetown and Gurnet Point. A plaque placed above the entrance to the tower reads, "This tower and hilltop were given to the town of Dennis in 1929 as a memorial to Charles Tobey (1831–1888) and Francis Bassett Tobey (1833–1913). Loyal sons of the village of Dennis where their Tobey ancestors settled in 1678." Geography Scargo tower sits atop Scargo Hill, one of the tallest [160 feet (49 m)] and best-known hills on Cape Cod. The tower is located in the town of Dennis, Massachusetts off of Scargo Hill road, to the south of Scargo Lake.

Searles Castle (Massachusetts)

The Searles Castle is a French chateau-style castle-style house in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Built in the 1880s, the romantically imagined structure has seven stories and includes a "dungeon" basement. There are 40 rooms containing 54,246 square feet (5,039.6 m2) of floor space, as well as 36 fireplaces. History The castle was initially designed by Stanford White of McKim, Mead and White, a famous New York architectural firm at the time. Originally known as Kellogg Terrace, the castle was commissioned in 1875 for Mary Sherwood Hopkins by her husband Mark Hopkins, treasurer and one of the founders of the Central Pacific Railroad. Mark Hopkins died in 1878 and Mary Hopkins married Edward Francis Searles, who had designed the interior while the castle was being built. He was 23 years younger than she was. Hopkins died in 1891, but Searles maintained the castle until his death in 1920. After Searles died, the structure was used as a private girls' school for 30 years. It then passed through a variety of owners and uses, serving as a training and conference center for The Home Insurance Company of New York, an all-girls boarding school, and a country club. From the mid-1980s, it housed John Dewey Academy, a school for troubled intellectually gifted teens. The castle was listed for sale in 2007 for $15 million. It was sold to artist Hunt Slonem in 2021 for $3.25 million. As of 2025, it remains a private residence. Architecture In 1888, the property was 229 acres (93 ha). The stone of the exterior of the castle is blue dolomite. All the pillars in the atrium were hollowed out except one. The Louis XV Versailles Room was imported from Venice. There had been an organ in the music hall, but it was removed when the castle became the John Dewey Academy, due to its Christian connotations. There are three safes on the first floor, one in the dining hall and two in the kitchen. The safe in the kitchen had silver in it when the castle switched owners. The wood floors are finger locked construction, meaning there are no nails used anywhere. The castle was one of the first places to have its own built-in walk-in cooler. The pond was built as a cross specifically so it could reflect the castle from the other side, to add to the beauty when people would have tea by the façade. There is a secret stairway connecting the second-floor bedroom where Mary Hopkins slept to the third-floor bedroom where Edward Searles slept, which they used go between each other's rooms. The carriage house which currently stands was not the original. The original burned down a few years after the castle was completed, and was replaced by the current one. In film The 1996 movie Before and After was filmed in the castle. This movie included actors Liam Neeson and Meryl Streep. The 2016 movie Like Lambs was also filmed in the castle.

Castillo Searles (Massachusetts)

El castillo Searles es una casa de estilo Château ubicado en Great Barrington, en el estado de Massachusetts (Estados Unidos).​ Construido en los años 1880, tiene siete pisos e incluye un sótano "mazmorra". Fue diseñado inicialmente por Stanford White de McKim, Mead & White,​ una firma de arquitectura de Nueva York. Tiene 5040 m² de superficie, 40 habitaciones y 36 chimeneas. Historia de construcción y propiedad El castillo fue encargado en 1885 para Mary Sherwood Hopkins por su esposo Mark Hopkins, tesorero y uno de los fundadores del Ferrocarril del Pacífico Central.​ Mark Hopkins murió en 1878 y Mary Hopkins se casó con Edward Francis Searles, quien había diseñado el interior mientras se construía el castillo. Él era treinta años más joven que ella. Hopkins murió en 1891, pero Searles mantuvo el castillo hasta su muerte en 1920. Después de su muerte, la estructura se utilizó como escuela privada para niñas durante 30 años. Luego pasó por una variedad de propietarios y usos, y sirvió como centro de capacitación y conferencias para una compañía de seguros de Nueva York, un internado para niñas y un club de campo. Desde mediados de la década de 1980 ha albergado la Academia John Dewey, una escuela para adolescentes dotados intelectualmente con problemas. El castillo se puso a la venta en 2007 por 15 millones de dólares.​ Características arquitectónicas En 1888, la propiedad tenía 92 hectáreas. La piedra del exterior del castillo es dolomita azul. Todos los pilares del atrio estaban ahuecados excepto uno. La Sala de Versalles en estilo Luis XV fue importada de Venecia. Había un órgano en el salón de música, pero fue retirado cuando el castillo se convirtió en la Academia John Dewey,​ debido a sus connotaciones cristianas. Hay tres cajas fuertes en el primer piso, una en el comedor y dos en la cocina. La caja fuerte de la cocina contenía plata cuando el castillo cambió de dueño. Los pisos de madera están construidos mediante ensamblado manual, lo que significa que no se usaron clavos en ninguna parte. El castillo fue uno de los primeros inmuebles del país en tener su propia nevera incorporada.​ El estanque fue construido como una cruz específicamente para que pudiera reflejar el castillo desde el otro lado, para agregar belleza cuando la gente tomaba el té en la fachada. Hay una escalera secreta que conecta el dormitorio del segundo piso donde dormía Mary Hopkins con el dormitorio del tercer piso donde dormía Edward Searles, que usaban para ir entre las habitaciones del otro.​ La cochera que se encuentra actualmente no es la original. La original se quemó unos años después de que se completó el castillo y fue reemplazada por la actual. En el cine La película de 1996 Antes y después se filmó en el castillo. Esta película incluyó a los actores Liam Neeson y Meryl Streep.​ La película de 2016 Like Lambs también se filmó allí.​ Véase también Anexo:Mansiones de la Gilded Age Referencias
North Acton Cemetery

The North Acton Cemetery, also known locally as the Forest Cemetery, is a historic cemetery Carlisle Road and North Street in North Acton, Massachusetts. Established no later than 1737, it is one of the town's oldest burial grounds, and remained in active use into the 20th century. It has more than 100 marked graves. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Description and history The North Acton Cemetery is located in northern Acton, occupying a roughly rectangular 0.5-acre (0.20 ha) parcel at the northern corner of Carlisle Road and North Street. The cemetery is bounded on all four sides by low fieldstone walls, with the main access through an opening delimited by granite posts on Carlisle Road. There is no formal circulation pattern, with clusters of grave markers scattered across the grounds, which are generally covered in grass or moss. There are 96 marked graves, and 113 known documented burials. Due to the uncertainty of when burials started on the site, there are probably unmarked graves as well. The cemetery is believed to have been in use no later than 1737, the year in which the town acquired the oldest portion of Woodlawn Cemetery, "the burying ground then in use near Deacon Heald's" being too small and remote for the town's use. This cemetery contains burials of several members of the Heald family, whose 18th-century homstead still stands nearby. The town formally acquired this cemetery in 1760; the oldest marked grave is that of Mary Heald, dated 1758. The cemetery was enlarged in 1811, in part with funding from the neighboring town of Carlisle, some of whose residents were interred here. In 2014, a sign was made for the site as an Eagle Scout project by Christopher Norton, a member of the Acton Boy Scouts Troop. The sign contains the plot plan with names of those known to have been buried there.
