Robin Hill Cemetery

Robin Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Donald Lynch Boulevard in Marlborough, Massachusetts, overlooking the Assabet River. It is approximately 1 acre (0.40 ha), the community's second smallest burial ground. As of 2004, it had 24 markers denoting 27 burials. It is located on the South Side of Donald Lynch Boulevard in a commercial office park, with the interchange between Interstates 495 and 290 to its south and east. Part of the property is taken up by Robin Hill, a rise of about 30 feet (9.1 m) that is mostly covered with pine trees and has relatively few burials. The rest of the property is relatively flat and has been divided into family plots measuring about 20 by 20 feet (6.1 m × 6.1 m). A receiving tomb, which probably originates from the mid-19th century, is located on the property. When established in the early 19th century, Robin Hill Cemetery was located in a relatively rural agricultural area. Its burials include several military veterans, including those from the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, and World War II. Although the cemetery is still in active use, most of the marked graves date to the third quarter of the nineteenth century. The markers speak towards the high frequency of childhood death, as demonstrated by the dual markers for the two sons of Levi and Lucinda Rice, aged four and six, who both died on the same day in December 1817, while also demonstrating for families longevity, such as Ananias Cooke, who died in 1851 at the age of 91. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Robinson House (Arlington, Massachusetts)

The Robinson House is an historic house in Arlington, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1846 (probably as a speculative venture, as was the adjacent W.W. Kimball House) after the introduction of train service into Arlington. It has retained some of its Greek Revival styling (notably the fully pedimented gable end, the wraparound porch with fluted columns, and full-length first-floor windows) despite the application of siding. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Arlington, Massachusetts References
Rock House Reservation

Rock House Reservation ist ein 135 Acres (0,5 km²) großes Naturschutzgebiet im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es befindet sich in der Nähe von West Brookfield und wird der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet. Besuchern stehen 3 mi (4,8 km) Wanderwege zur Verfügung. Geschichte Geologisch wurde das Gebiet während der letzten Eiszeit geformt. Der sich zurückziehende Gletscher hinterließ dabei auch ungewöhnliche Felsformationen wie das Rock House (deutsch Felsenhaus), nach dem das heutige Schutzgebiet benannt wurde, und den in der Nähe stehenden Balance Rock. Wie auch im Großteil des übrigen zentralen Massachusetts wurden im Bereich des Schutzgebiets Waldgebiete in Ackerflächen umgewandelt und Flüsse und Seen zum Betrieb von Mühlen genutzt. Seit der Ausweisung als Schutzgebiet kann sich die Natur wieder ausbreiten. Das Rock House war bereits bei den Indianern als Winterquartier beliebt. Seine Lage in unmittelbarer Nähe zu wichtigen Indianerpfaden legt außerdem nahe, dass es den Ureinwohnern als Zwischenstation und Treffpunkt diente. Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts rodeten die Kolonisten den Wald um West Brookfield, um Platz für die Landwirtschaft zu gewinnen. 1866 wurden die Weideflächen rund um das Rock House der 281 Acres (1,1 km²) umfassenden Farm von William Adams hinzugefügt, dessen Familie die Ländereien mehr als 125 Jahre lang bewirtschaftete. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts befand sich am Rock House ein beliebter Haltepunkt der zwischen West Brookfield und Ware verkehrenden Copper Line. 1993 erhielten die Trustees das Gebiet im Rahmen einer anonymen Schenkung und kauften 2002 weitere Teile hinzu. Lucy Stone Home Site 25 Hektar des Schutzgebiets wurden im Jahr 2021 unter der Bezeichnung Lucy Stone Home Site in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Dort stand das Haus der Frauenrechtlerin Lucy Stone, bis es 1950 niederbrannte. Heute sind nur noch einige Ruinen zu sehen.

Roughan Hall

Roughan Hall is a historic commercial building at 10 City Square, the historic central square of the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1892 and enlarged in 1896, it is the square's only surviving 19th-century commercial building, and a distinctive example of Romanesque and Renaissance Revival architecture. Its upper levels now serve as the headquarters of the Appalachian Mountain Club. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history City Square is a public park at the southern end of the Charlestown peninsula, lined on the southwest and southeast by major traffic arteries. Roughan Hall is located on the park's northeast side, between Main and Park Streets. It is a four-story yellow brick building, with cast-iron storefronts on the ground level, and a limestone-framed entry to the upper floors, which historically housed offices and a large auditorium. The main facade is four bays wide, with the leftmost bay set at a slight angle, owing in part to an odd lot shape. The second and third floor windows of three of the bays are surrounded by decorative brickwork, and the fourth-floor windows are tall rounded arches with terra cotta surrounds. The building cornice includes a series of blind arches surmounted by brick corbelling. The building was designed by Arthur H. Vinal and built in 1892 for Michael Roughan, a prominent local businessman and philanthropist. At the time, the square was completely encircled by commercial and civic buildings. The building housed Roughan's liquor store on the ground floor, and the top-floor hall was used primarily by social and fraternal organizations. In 1989, the ground floor space was converted for use as a restaurant and housed Todd English's Olives from 1989 to 2013, which was replaced by Legal Oysteria in 2014. The building was purchased by the Appalachian Mountain Club in 2016, which occupies its upper floors as of September 2017.

Roxbury High Fort

Roxbury High Fort is a historic fort site on Beech Glen Street at Fort Avenue in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The site now contains a small park and the Cochituate Standpipe, also known as Fort Hill Tower, built in 1869. The fort site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The site inspired the name of the Fort Hill neighborhood, which surrounds the area of the High Fort. History The Roxbury High Fort site once contained earthwork fortifications of the Continental Army during the Siege of Boston during the American Revolutionary War. At that time Roxbury was an independent town connected to Boston by a narrow neck of land. The hill offered a great vantage of the entire area. In 1868 Roxbury was annexed to Boston. In 1869, the 70-foot-tall (21 m) Cochituate Standpipe was built atop Fort Hill by the Cochichuate Water Company. Eventually the water tower was abandoned with other expansions to the Boston water system. By the 1960s, the tower fell into disrepair. The original cast iron balcony was removed. In the early 1980s the City of Boston restored the tower. The area is also today known as Highland Park.

Rumney Marsh Burying Ground

The Rumney Marsh Burying Ground is a historic cemetery on Butler Street between Elm and Bixby Streets in Revere, Massachusetts. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It was the first burying ground of an area that now encompasses Revere as well as neighboring Chelsea and Winthrop. The land was originally owned by Samuel Cole. In 1654 William Hasey purchased it; his descendants sold it to Joshua Cheever, Esq. in 1740. Cheever and the town of Chelsea (of which Revere was still part) agreed on March 7, 1743 that the land would be a burying place and he deeded it to the town on December 8, 1751. Prior to the establishment of this burying ground, people who lived in the area were buried in Boston's Copp's Hill Burying Ground. After a smallpox epidemic swept the city in 1690, Boston officials ordered that its victims north of the Charles River be buried "on that side of the Water". Some victims of this epidemic may have been the first burials at Rumney Marsh. The first documented burial was that of Mary Smith, wife of John Smith, in 1693. The last burial was in 1929. The cemetery is notable for containing the graves of sixteen Black individuals, some free and some enslaved, whose burials are documented in part by an 1897 map of the site. Two plaques stand along the Northern wall of the cemetery providing the names, dates of death, and approximate ages of these individuals, as well as some of the names of their enslavers. Most are buried along the Northern wall. However, according to a 1938 book called "The History of Revere" by Benjamin Shurtleff, three – Job Worrow (a veteran of the Revolutionary War serving under Captain Samuel Sprague, who is also buried in the Rumney Marsh Burying Ground), Betty Worrow, and Fanny Fairweather – are buried in the Southeast corner. Although none of these individuals' graves are marked, Fanny Fairweather is reported by Shurtleff to have had a monument with the inscription "Fanny Fairweather, died 1845, age 80, a native of Africa." Since many of the burials were in the 18th century, the cemetery is exemplary of funerary art during the colonial period. For example, many of the slate gravestones feature a skull and wings motif. Two gravestones have been specifically identified as the work of carver Joseph Lamson (1658–1722); that of Mary Cutler (died 1703), and that of John Winthrop's son Deane Winthrop (died 1703/4). Work by stone carvers Robert Fowle and Richard Adams can also be found among the graves. People buried in the cemetery include: Deane Winthrop, son of John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Deane Winthrop's House, also on the National Register, is nearby in Winthrop. Phillips Payson, the fighting pastor, hero of the Battle of Lexington Sixteen enslaved and free Black people Veterans of the Colonial, Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil Wars.

Russell House (Andover, Massachusetts)

The Russell House is a historic house in Andover, Massachusetts. The weatherboarded Federal-style home was built in 1805. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The farm encompasses some 11 acres (4.5 ha). The house and farm were owned by Deacon Joseph Russell, a descendant of Robert Russell, a Scotsman, who emigrated to Massachusetts in the seventeenth century and was the first person buried in Andover's newly created South Parish 'Burying-Yard,' as it was called, in 1710 at age 80. Russell's descendants intermarried with the Holt, Abbott, Marshall, Chandler, Dane and other early Andover settler families. The 'Scotland District' name for that section of Andover derives from Robert Russell's Scottish birthplace, and his subsequent name for his landholding which he called 'Scotland farm.'
