Flagg-Coburn House

The Flagg-Coburn House is a historic house at 722 E. Merrimack Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. Built in 1926 for a local industrialist, it is the first known example in New England of the distinctive residential work of New York City architect Ernest Flagg. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Flagg-Coburn House is located in a residential area of eastern Lowell, set between East Merrimack Street to the south, and the Merrimack River to the north. It is a 1+1⁄2-story structure with an idiosyncratic plan and style. Its first-floor walls are composed of a rubblestone exterior laid around a core of concrete, and it is topped by a complex roof studded with dormers and projecting sections. Its interior layout is organized with the public rooms on the river side, and service rooms and bedrooms on the street side. Because the building lacks a basement (it was built on concrete slab poured over stone ledge), its infrastructure (heating systems and other utilities) are located in its westernmost wing. The house was built in 1926 for the family of Frederick Coburn, a historian and artist from a prominent local industrial family. It was designed by Ernest Flagg, a New York-based architect, in a style he promoted as a cost-sensitive means for the design of homes for the lower and middle classes. The Coburns were interested in contemporary arts and crafts of the period, and the building is thus a somewhat anomalous design for the otherwise conventional designs for period houses in the finer neighborhoods of Lowell. The Coburns owned the house into the 1940s, and its once-rural setting has since been transformed into one of suburban character.

Flanley's Block

Flanley's Block is a historic commercial building at 349–353 Main Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts, US. Built about 1895, it is a well-preserved local example of late 19th-century Italianate commercial architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Description and history Flanley's Block is located on the west side of Main Street, near the northern end of the business district and just south of the town's major civic buildings. It is a three-story brick structure with Italianate styling, including a flat roof with an extended modillioned cornice. The main facade, facing east, has storefronts on the ground floor, with plate glass windows and recessed entrances. It retains significant Italianate features, including an extended cornice and smaller round-arch windows. The latter are set by pairs in recessed arches, where each pair is topped by a small round window. Second- and third-floor windows are grouped pairs inside recessed panels with round-arch tops. The third-floor windows also have round-arch tops, with rondels above each pair in the panel. Medallion motifs are located at the outer bays of the facade on the third floor. The building was originally built in 1895 by John Flanley, a local furniture salesman. Flanley, a Wakefield native, joined the firm of Gammers and Trow in 1866, and eventually took over their business. Goods he sold included furniture, bedding, carpet, and wallpaper. In 1918 the building was adapted for use by the local branch of the International Order of Odd Fellows.

Flint House (Massachusetts)

The Flint House is a historic First Period house at 28 Lexington Road in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Standing on land acquired by Thomas Flint in the 1604s, the oldest portions of this house have very early colonial construction, and its main block either is, or contains portions of, a "mansion" built by Ephraim Flint and mentioned in a 1709 deed. This main block appears to have portions of two older structures that were joined; the exact sequence of construction is difficult due to extensive alterations of the building over the 18th and 19th centuries. The property includes a barn which is thought to have been built before 1750, and is unaltered despite having been moved a relatively short distance on the grounds. The house has been occupied by nine generations of Flints, who have been a major force in the civic life of Lincoln. The Flint family received their Century Farm Award in 1990. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. In 2015, Sarah Flint was the eleventh generation of the family living on Matlock Farm. She stated that the farm is the second-oldest working, family farm in the country. Edward Flint, a cousin of Ephraim, who died in 1754, is buried "below in the corner of the old Flint lot." This is believed to be today's Precinct Burial Ground (or Lincoln Cemetery), around 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the northeast.

Forbes & Wallace

Forbes en Wallace was een Amerikaanse warenhuisketen gevestigd in Springfield, Massachusetts . Geschiedenis Vroege jaren De Forbes and Wallace Store werd gebouwd door de partners Alexander B. Forbes en Andrew Brabner Wallace in 1873 op de hoek van Main Street en Vernon Street (later Boland Street) in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1896 ging Forbes met pensioen en werd Wallace eenmanszaak. In 1905 bestond het warenhuis uit acht verdiepingen en was uitgegroeid tot een complex van zes gebouwen, dat het hele stadsblok besloeg. Forbes & Wallace werd beschouwd als het toonaangevende winkelbedrijf van Springfield. Uitbreiding In de jaren 1940 tot begin jaren 1970 runde Forbes & Wallace ook verschillende andere warenhuizen in Massachusetts en de staat New York onder hun oorspronkelijke namen. In Massachusetts werden winkels geëxploiteerd in het nabijgelegen Holyoke onder de naam McCauslan Waklen, en in Northampton onder de naam McCallum's. De voormalige locatie van McCallum is nu de locatie van de succesvolle overdekte Thornes Marketplace, die eind jaren zeventig de leegstaande ruimte overnam. De Boston Store in het centrum van North Adams, Massachusetts, maakte ook deel uit van de Forbes & Wallace-keten. In de staat New York exploiteerde het Wallace's-warenhuizen in het centrum van Schenectady en in Kingston en Poughkeepsie tot deze in 1975 werden gesloten. In de Fairfield Mall in Chicopee, Massachusetts, exploiteerde Forbes & Wallace een vestiging van 5.600 m². Forbes & Wallace en de inmiddels ter ziele gegane discounter Two Guys waren de twee ankerwinkels van het goedkope winkelcentrum. De Forbes & Wallace in Fairfield Mall werd halverwege de jaren zeventig gesloten en vervangen door het inmiddels ter ziele gegane discountwarenhuis Caldor. Forbes & Wallace had ook filialen in de Eastfield Mall in Springfield, Massachusetts en opende een kleine winkel aan de Manchester Parkade in Manchester. De vestiging in de Eastfield Mall bediende de welvarende oostelijke en zuidoostelijke voorsteden van Springfield en was een zeer populaire winkelbestemming. De vestiging in Manchester was niet zo succesvol, doordat het in een klein winkelcentrum gevestigd was op enige afstand van het normale klantengebied van Forbes & Wallace. Het moest vergeefs concurreren met de gevestigde warenhuizen G. Fox & Co. en Sage-Allen Co. in Hartford, Connecticut. Na de ondergang van het in Worcester, Massachusetts gevestigde warenhuis Denholm &amp; McKay Company in 1973, exploiteerde Forbes & Wallace kort een winkel in de Auburn Mall in Auburn op de voormalige locatie van Denholm. Sluiting In 1970 had het een loopbrug die het warenhuis verbond met de nieuwe 30 verdiepingen tellende Bay State West-complex. Bay State West had een winkelplein dat ook verbonden was met het andere toonaangevende particuliere warenhuis van Springfield, Steiger's. In 1976 werd de winkel gesloten en bleven de gebouwen leegstaan tot de sloop in 1982. In 1987 werd het Monarch Place-complex gebouwd op het voormalige terrein van de winkel.

Forest Park Country Club

Forest Park Country Club is a public golf course located in Adams, Massachusetts, United States. History Forest Park Country Club opened to the public in 1901. It was designed by Alexander H. Findlay. Course layout and hole descriptions The course lies on rolling terrain, with several holes featuring considerable elevation changes. The course is relatively short, with a premium being placed on accuracy off the tee. The greens are generally small, and thus scoring can be largely dependent upon short game abilities, specifically putting, chipping and pitching. Several holes, most notably the 8th hole tee box, feature an excellent view of Mount Greylock, the highest point in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The 1st hole is a short par 4, with a slight dogleg right, with out of bounds on the right hand side. The dogleg is accentuated by a tall fence on the right side of the tee box, which blocks any attempt to drive directly to the green. However, a well placed tee shot which gently moves from left to right will result in a short second shot to a green which is protected by two bunkers short of the green. The 2nd hole is a straight par 4, with a public road which crosses through the hole approximately 140 yards from the green. Out of bounds lines the right side of the hole. The land area off the tee is sloped significantly from the right to left. The 3rd hole is a downhill par 3, which plays considerably less than the yardage on the card. The 4th hole is par 4 dogleg right. The green is significantly elevated in comparison to the fairway. The 5th hole is an uphill par 3. The 6th hole is a straight par 4, with out of bounds left. The 7th hole is a unique par 4, with out of bounds left. The landing area off the tee is right in the middle of an uphill slope, and a tee shot must be very well struck to reach the top of the hill. The approach shot is to a green which drops off steeply on the left hand side. The 8th hole is a downhill par 4, and the longest hole on the course. The 9th hole is a short uphill par 4. The green is protected by a bunker short of the putting surface, and out of bounds long. References External links http://alexanderfindlay.com/
Fort Phoenix

Fort Phoenix is a former American Revolutionary War-era fort located at the entrance to the Fairhaven-New Bedford harbor, south of U.S. 6 in Fort Phoenix Park in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The fort was originally built in 1775 without a name, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Just off the fort, in Buzzards Bay, was the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, the Battle of Fairhaven on 14 May 1775. On 5–6 September 1778, the fort was destroyed by the British when they raided the harbor. A force under Major Israel Fearing drove off the British, both at the fort and when they attempted an attack on the town the next day. The fort was then renamed Fort Fearing. In 1784 it was given the name "Fort Phoenix" after the mythical bird that rose from its own ashes. The fort was rebuilt in 1798, and rebuilt again in 1808 with 12 guns with Commonwealth resources, contemporary with but not part of the second system of US fortifications. In the War of 1812, HMS Nimrod bombarded the fort on 13 June 1814 when the local militia refused to surrender some guns. After an exchange of fire Nimrod sailed away. Local accounts differ as to whether she launched boats carrying a landing party that were driven off, or not. This event is confused in some references with an attack by the same ship on Falmouth on 29 January 1814. The fort currently has five iron cannons mounted on reproduction wooden carriages. The cannons are Model 1819 24-pounders. Their trunnions are marked, “W.F.” on one side and “1828” on the opposite side, indicating they were cast at the West Point Foundry in Cold Spring, New York, in the year 1828. They were installed at the fort sometime before the Civil War along with three similar guns which were later transferred out of the fort near the end of the war. There is also a smaller cannon at the fort which was captured by the Continental Marines during the raid on Nassau in the Bahamas in 1776. This raid was the first amphibious landing on foreign soil by United States Marines. This gun has been in Fairhaven since about 1777 and one of those originally installed when the fort was built. In recent years, two more cannons, mounted on field artillery carriages have been installed at the fort. Donated to the Town of Fairhaven by the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the barrels of the guns are thought to date to the War of 1812, but they have no direct connection to Fort Phoenix. The fort was rebuilt with a new powder magazine and regarrisoned with eight guns in the Civil War. During World War II an Anti-Motor Torpedo Boat (AMTB) battery of four towed 37 mm guns was at the fort. Today, historical encampments are staged at Fort Phoenix in the spring and fall by a local reenacting group, the Fairhaven Village Militia.

Foxborough Regional Charter School

The Foxborough Regional Charter School is a college prep, K through 12, charter school located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, United States. History Founded as the SABIS Foxborough Regional School, a member of the SABIS international network of private charter schools, Foxborough Regional Charter School, or FRCS, opened at the start of the 1998 school year with 582 students in grades kindergarten through eighth. The former Robinson Hill Elementary stood here, which opened in 1955 and closed in the early 1980's. To accommodate their growing student population's need for a practical cafeteria and gym, the school built a cafetorium in 1999, which served as a gymnasium during gym class, and a cafeteria during lunch hours. In 2000, a new wing was built to allow for more elementary students. In 2001 a temporary, six-classroom modular building was installed for the middle school students. In 2010, a house on Route 140, adjacent to the school's front entrance, was bulldozed to make way for a set of modular buildings that were used by the high school. In January 2012, a new $16,000,000 facility was completed and now holds the middle and high school students. After the expansion, the modular buildings around the campus were eventually removed during the summer of 2012. The former middle school classrooms were converted into elementary school rooms. FRCS split from SABIS in 2007 due to conflicts between SABIS' proprietary curriculum and Massachusetts' guidelines for charter schools. References External links Official website
