Boston State Hospital

Boston State Hospital is a historic mental hospital located in Mattapan and Dorchester, Massachusetts. The court case Rogers v. Okin, which increases patient consent rights, was filed by a class action lawsuit against the hospital. The hospital was closed in 1979, and has been completely demolished and the site is in the process of being redeveloped as part of Mass Audubon's Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary. History The facility dates back to Boston Lunatic Hospital founded in 1839 by the city and located at First Street in South Boston (now northside of E 1st Street between L and N Streets). The hospital expanded to the former site of Home for the Poor at Austin Farm in 1887 and male patients transferred to Pierce Farm (Walk Hill and Canterbury Street what became Boston State Hospital) in 1895 when Austin Farms became a female facility. It was renamed Boston Insane Hospital in 1897 after transferring operations under city council to Board of Supervisor of Public Institution and became a Massachusetts state agency in 1908. The first site was demolished to become Boston Edison Company's South Edison Power Station in 1898 and is now being re-developed as 776 Summer Street. In 1920 the Psychopathic Department broke off to form Boston Psychopathic Hospital. The Boston State Hospital closed their site in 1979 and ceased operations in 1981.

Browne House

The Abraham Browne House (built c. 1694–1701) is a colonial house located at 562 Main Street, Watertown, Massachusetts, US. It is now a nonprofit museum operated by Historic New England and open to the public. The house was originally a modest one-over-one dwelling. The house features steep roofing and casement windows. During restoration works in 1919, details of 17th century finish were found. The ground floor consists of one large room that is used for living, cooking, and sleeping. By 1919 the house was nearly ruined when it was acquired by William Sumner Appleton, who in 1923 donated it to Historic New England. The house has grown by a series of enlargements but they occurred behind the original block, thus preserving the profile of the one-over-one elevation. The exception, a 19th-century addition, was removed before 1919. The Browne House is one of fewer than a half-dozen houses in New England to retain this profile. The Abraham Browne house was featured on PBS's This Old House television program.

Charles Lundberg Three-Decker

The Charles Lundberg Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. The house was built c. 1892, and is a well-preserved local example of the form with Queen Anne styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Description and history The Charles Lundberg Three-Decker is located in a residential area east of downtown Worcester on the north side of Catharine Street west of Rodney Street. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The building follows a standard side-hall plan, with a flanking polygonal bay. The projecting section has shingled skirt sections between the floors, with small brackets in the resulting overhang. The main roof cornice is deep, with decorative modillion blocks regularly spaced. The front entry is sheltered by a single-story porch which has a spindled frieze and balustrade. It is supported by very slender turned columns with brackets at the upper end, below the frieze. The stairwell windows feature decorative stained glass. Built about 1892, the house is a good example of early-period three-decker development in Worcester's Belmont Hill area. This area was heavily populated in its early years by immigrants from Sweden and Finland. Charles Lundberg, the first owner, also owned the adjacent houses; he was a clerk. Most of the early residents were of Swedish extraction. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in eastern Worcester, Massachusetts References

Children's Museum in Easton

The Children's Museum in Easton is a children's museum in Easton, Massachusetts, dedicated to educational, cultural, and social learning for children and families with a primary focus on children ages 1–5. It is located at 9 Sullivan Avenue in North Easton inside of a historic firehouse. The museum is three floors of different activities designed for interactive learning. It is also located close to Stonehill College. History The Children's Museum was started in 1986 by four Easton women, all mothers of young children in search of hands-on educational experiences for their children. The location at that time was a historic firehouse built in 1904. By 1986, it had not been a functioning fire station in decades, and the town of Easton had decided to sell it. The mothers proposed the museum to the town, and the vote went to selectmen. The vote passed, with the museum promising to donate $100,000 of its admission profits back to the town. The mothers had no corporate sponsors, so it took five years of fundraising activities through the community until the museum received enough support to open in 1991.

Conant Brook Dam

The Conant Brook Dam is located on Conant Brook in Monson, Massachusetts, about 7.4 miles (11.9 km) upstream from the confluence of Conant Brook and the Quaboag River. It is approximately 15 miles (24 km) east of Springfield, Massachusetts. Designed and constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, this dam substantially reduces flooding along the Quaboag, Chicopee, and Connecticut rivers. Construction of the project began in 1964 with completion in 1966 at a cost of US$2,950,530. The Conant Brook Dam is located within the Chicopee River watershed and is part of the Connecticut River basin. Access to the site is available from State Route 32 and State Route 19. Description The project consists of a rolled earth and rock fill dam with stone slope protection 1,050 feet (320 m) long and 85 feet (26 m) high. There is one dike 900 feet (270 m) in length with a maximum height of 20 feet (6.1 m). Cut in rock, the spillway comprises a concrete weir 100 ft (30 m) in width. The weir's crest elevation is 14 feet (7.0 m) lower than the top of the dam. There is no permanent lake behind the dam. The flood storage area for the project, which is normally empty, stores floodwaters and covers 158 acres (0.64 km2) in the town of Monson, Massachusetts. The entire project, including all associated lands, covers 456 acres (1.85 km2). The Conant Brook Dam can store up to 1.3 billion US gallons (4,900,000 m3) of water for flood control purposes. This is equivalent to 9.0 inches (230 mm) of water runoff covering its drainage area of 7.8 square miles (20 km2). The current Conant Brook Dam was in October 2005, when the reservoir reached 35 feet (11 m) deep at the inlet channel. Land use and recreation The Army Corps of Engineers manages and preserves the land for flood control and passive recreation. There are 4.7 miles (7.6 km) of hiking/mountain biking/horseback riding trails that are located on the project lands. In addition, 1.7 miles (2.7 km) of service roads (closed to motor vehicles) cross the reservoir area and are open to non-motorized use. The main entrance and parking area are located on Wales Road in Monson, approx. 1-mile (1.6 km) east of State Route 32. An information kiosk is located here. Limited trailhead parking is also available at the gated ends of East Hill Road and Waterworks Road, and at the north end of the project off Munn Road, near the east end of the dike. Camping is not permitted. References Conant Brook Dam website, Army Corps of Engineers
Cross Point (Lowell, Massachusetts)

Cross Point is an office complex in Lowell, Massachusetts. Formerly named Wang Towers, it is a local landmark, dominating the busy intersection of Interstate 495 (the Boston outer ring road) and U.S. Route 3. It is the third-tallest building in Lowell, after Three River Place and the Kenneth R. Fox Student Union at UMass Lowell. The complex, consisting of three interconnected cement-clad 12-story towers and other buildings totaling over 1,200,000 square feet (110,000 m2) situated on 15 acres (6.1 ha), was built by original sole tenant Wang Laboratories as its new world headquarters. Construction began in 1980, and it was completed in stages at a cost of US$60,000,000 (about $200 million in current dollars). The buildings served as a demonstration of the rise of Wang Labs and the Boston-area computer technology industry generally, and later as a sign of the rapid fall of the company and industry: Wang Labs entered bankruptcy in 1992, and the property was sold at bankruptcy auction in 1994 for a tiny fraction of its construction cost – $525,000 (about $1.14 million in current dollars) – in 1994, to Louis Pellegrine, fronting for One Industrial Avenue Corp (OIAC). OIAC was a partnership of principals Christopher Kelly and Luis Alvarado, along with Brian Kelly, Daniel Doherty and investor Geometry Partners. OIAC renovated the towers (with the help of tax breaks and a $2.2 million letter of credit from the City of Lowell) and sold them in 1998 to San Francisco–based Yale Properties USA and Blackstone Real Estate Advisors, reportedly for over $100 million. The towers acquired new tenants, but business was hurt by the 2000–2001 bursting of the "dot-com bubble", and it was described as being, by 2005, a "ghost town" with an occupancy rate of about 50%. Yale Properties bought out Blackstone's share in 2005; in the same year San Diego–based Divco West Properties bought an interest in the property. By 2007 the occupancy rate was back up to about 90%, with major tenants such as Motorola moving in. Yale actively shopped the property, but a 2007 deal to sell it for about $180 million to a consortium led by Davis Marcus Partners fell through. The real estate crash beginning in 2007 put severe strain on the property's finances, but Yale and Divco West (along with Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board) retained ownership. In 2012 the towers were about 70% filled and Colliers International was hired to boost occupancy. The towers were sold to CP Associates LLC for $100 million in 2014. One of the largest office lease relocation transactions in Greater Boston happened when Kronos Incorporated signed a 500,000 square-foot global headquarters office lease at Cross Point in 2016. This move makes it one of the largest employers in Lowell and the largest tenant at Cross Point with 1,500 employees on a total of 16 floors. CrossPoint’s ownership team and Kronos (renamed UKG after a 2020 merger) planned to spend more than $40 million on the design and build of a completely modernized facility.

Elizabeth Boit House

The Elizabeth Boit House is a historic house at 127 Chestnut Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Elizabeth Boit, co-founder of the Harvard Knitting Mills, also built on the west side, creating an estate compound on the summit of Cowdry's Hill that included three residences, formal gardens, a playhouse, and greenhouse. All three residences, 88 and 90 Prospect Street, and 127 Chestnut Street (1910-1913), were designed in the English Cottage style by Wakefield architect Harland Perkins. The stucco structures have red tile roofs, recessed entries, exposed purlins, and irregular fenestration. This, the main house is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, with an angled three-part layout, and is oriented toward the courtyard formed by the three buildings. This house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, for its architecture, and for its association with Elizabeth Boit. She was one of the first highly placed female executives in the male-dominated management ranks of textile firms of the period, and is believed to be the only woman in a top executive position in the United States textile industry in 1923. She pioneered improvements in worker conditions, offering health care to factory workers and providing bonuses based on company profits. The compound she built at Chestnut and Prospect Streets is the only surviving estate of Wakefield's leading business executives. The home was listed for sale on September 16, 2021, for $1,990,000 and sold on November 4, 2021, for $2,750,000 to leading technology and Real Estate entrepreneur Marc Trachtenberg.
