Old Town Hall (Athol, Massachusetts)

Old Town Hall is a historic town hall in Athol, Massachusetts. Built in 1828 as a church, it served as town hall from 1847 to 1957, and now houses the local historical society. It is architecturally a good example of Federal period civic/religious architecture of the period. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Old Town Hall is located southwest of Athol's commercial downtown, at the northwest corner of Main Street and Liberty Street.

The front facade is five bays wide, with the center three projecting with a lower-profile pedimented gable that has an oval window at its center. The building corners are pilastered. A three-stage tower rises to a cupola and weathervane. The interior houses the meeting space on the ground floor. The hall was built as the town's fourth meeting house in 1828, after the third, which had stood nearby, was destroyed by fire. It was built for a Unitarian splinter of the town's original congregation, and remained in that use until it was turned over to the town in 1847. The building originally had a two-story meeting space, with a gallery on three sides (a typical period meeting house); the gallery was converted into a full second story by the town. It was used exclusively for town functions until 1921. A Women's Club occupied part of the building between 1921 and 1957, which continued to be used occasionally for meetings and as a polling place. The town gave the building to the Athol Historical Society in 1957, which uses it as a museum and storage facility. It remains an important tourist attraction for Athol and is included in their historical trail. The building features a display of local historic artifacts and is open to the public on Sunday afternoons in June and July.

Rev. Stephen Badger House

The Rev. Stephen Badger House is a historic house at 87 Eliot Street in Natick, Massachusetts. Built in 1753, it was the home of Natick's last missionary to the local "Praying Indian" community, and is a prominent well-preserved surviving example of Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Description and history The Rev. Stephen Badger House stands on the south side of the village of South Natick, at the southwest corner of Eliot Street and Badger Avenue. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a hip roof, two interior chimneys, and clapboarded exterior. The entrance is flanked by pilasters, and topped by a transom window and gabled pediment. A gabled dormer projects from the center of the roof. A single-story ell extends to the rear of the main block. The town of Natick was founded in 1650 as a community of Christianized Praying Indians, with its original town center at South Natick. Supported by an English missionary organization, it had four ministers before Stephen Badger arrived in 1753. He was granted a parcel of land that includes the place where this house now stands. Badger's tenure as missionary was troubled by the American Revolutionary War, when he was accused of being a Loyalist, and by increasing white settlement in the town. At least in part due to his loss of status, the town's main meeting house was moved to the present center, leading to South Natick's decline in civic importance. The property was sold out of the Badger family in 1822, to Oliver Bacon, a local businessman whose philanthropy includes South Natick's Bacon Free Library. In 1949 the house was restored to its c. 1870 appearance. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middlesex County, Massachusetts References
Rindge Towers

Rindge Towers is an affordable housing development in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Completed in 1970, the three 22-story towers make up a 777-unit apartment complex located in close proximity to the Alewife MBTA station at the terminus of the Red Line. The towers are named for Frederick H. Rindge, the philanthropist who funded construction of Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, Cambridge City Hall, and the Cambridge Public Library. The towers are built in the Le Corbusier style, which advocated dense high-rise housing complexes set within parks and open spaces. This style has since fallen out of fashion in favor of mixed-use and mixed-income development. Also known as "Fresh Pond Apartments I, II and III", the buildings are by far the tallest in North Cambridge; their height is estimated at 269 feet (82 m). Originally constructed to spur development in the Alewife region of Cambridge, the towers—like many high-rise housing projects of the era—quickly became associated with crime and fell into disrepair. Living conditions at the towers have improved from their nadir in the 1980s. However, the complex is still a focus for law enforcement activity, and in 2008 the Cambridge Police opened a substation at the towers.

Rising Paper Mill

The Rising Paper Mill is a historic factory at 295 Park Street North, in the Housatonic village of Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Built in 1873 for H.D. Cone, it is one of the best-preserved examples of period mill architecture in Berkshire County. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In 2008, the facility was purchased by Hazen Paper, which announced plans to manufacture multi-ply laminated paper for packaging. Description and history The Rising Paper Mill is located south of the village of Housatonic, on the east bank of the Housatonic River near the junction of Massachusetts Route 183 (Park Street) and Mountain Road. The complex covers about 30 acres (12 ha), with significant frontage on both the river and the road. The facility's dam is located near the north end of the property. It consists of two long three-story brick buildings, which are joined near their centers by a narrower section. The north block is 212 feet (65 m) and 21 bays in length, while the south block is 145 feet (44 m) and 14 bays in length. The buildings are covered by mansarded slate roofs, and have elaborate mansarded towers at the corners. The corners are finished with rusticated granite quoining, and there are bands of decorative Greek crosses below the eaves. The mill was built in about 1873 for H.D. Cone, whose intention it was to build the world's largest paper factory. The buildings are built with exceptionally strong foundations, needed for the heavy machinery used in the papermaking process. Granite for its foundations were quarried at nearby Monument Mountain. The design of the building placed the key Foudrinier machines in the hyphen joining the two main structures, one of which was devoted to the preparation of materials, and the other to finishing the paper. The mill was not entirely finished by Cone, who went bankrupt soon after its construction due to a variety of financial reverses. It sat vacant until the turn of the 20th century, when it was purchased by the B.D. Rising Company, which used it to make paper. The Rising Mill became the area's largest employer after the nearby Monument Mills failed in the 1930s.

River Works

River Works, formerly known as Air Force Plant 29, is a plant of General Electric's aviation division located in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is serviced by the River Works station on the MBTA's Newburyport/Rockport Line. It was purchased by General Electric in 1983 from the United States Air Force. History The Thomson-Houston Electric Company moved its operations to a new factory building on Western Avenue in West Lynn in 1883. By 1892, it had expanded into a sprawling factory complex between Western Avenue and the Boston and Maine Railroad Eastern Route tracks. That year, the company merged with Edison General Electric to become General Electric (GE). By 1894, the Lynn plant was known as the "river works" after its position along the Saugus River. The factory was expanded in 1943 as a supercharger facility (Air Force Plant No. 29), and helped to build the first jet engine during World War II. Activities performed at the plant originally included aircraft engine testing, disassembly, lubricating, cleaning and assembly. Operations included, degreasing, electrochemical grinding, engine maintenance, metal washing, parts cleaning and stress fracture testing. The workers at the facility were known for leftist politics, joining the new United Electric Workers union in 1936. They were targeted by state and federal governments during the Second Red Scare; in 1954, Joseph McCarthy subpoenaed five employees. From 1968 to 1972, the 'Pilot Program' was introduced. Faced with rising tensions on the shop floor, bottle-necks in production and low-quality products, GE management tried a scheme of workers' control of production in one area of the plant. Immediate results in increased output and machine utilisation, and a reduction on manufacturing losses but was eventually terminated by the management. The plant had operations boosted in the late 1980s after General Electric decided to close the General Electric Everett Plant and move operations there. References
Robert Fuller House

The Robert Fuller House is a historic house at 3 Burrill Lane in Needham, Massachusetts. Built in 1707 and moved to its present location in 1750, it is the oldest house in Needham. It is a well-preserved example of First Period architecture, adaptively modified over the centuries to adapt to later uses. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Fuller House stands at the northwest corner of Burrill Lane and Forest Street in northwestern Needham. The area is, like much of the town, now a residential suburban area. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and a sloping rear leanto section, giving the house a classic saltbox profile. Additions extend to the left and rear of the main block. The house exterior is finished in clapboards, and the sole chimney is placed off-center behind the ridge line. The interior has a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow winding stairway in the front vestibule, in front of the original central chimney. The house was built in 1707 by Robert Fuller, a prominent local resident from one of the area's early families. It originally stood where 46 Burrill Lane is, and was moved by Fuller in 1750 to its present location to make way for a new house. It is the oldest house in Needham. As built in 1707, it was a typical double-pile house with central chimney; the leanto was added after the house was moved. IN 1823 it was sold out of the Fuller family to the Greenwoods, who owned it until 1896. In the early 20th century, the additions were made to the side and rear, and the central chimney replaced by the present one.

Southeastern Massachusetts Resource Recovery Facility

The Southeastern Massachusetts Resource Recovery Facility (commonly known as SEMASS) is a waste-to-energy and recycling facility located in Rochester, Massachusetts. It is currently owned by Reworld. The United States Environmental Protection Agency mandated closure of unlined landfills in the early 1980s, after which many Cape Cod communities signed agreements to send their municipal waste to SEMASS. Two facilities to transfer trash from trucks to railroad hopper cars, the Upper Cape Regional Transfer Station and the Yarmouth-Barnstable Regional Transfer Station were constructed to consolidate trash receipts and minimize the number of garbage trucks making round trips between their respective towns and SEMASS. The goal was to conserve fuel, lower transportation costs, reduce vehicle exhaust pollution, and mitigate traffic congestion on and near the two bridges spanning the Cape Cod Canal. Massachusetts Coastal Railroad, is the rail service provider for the facility. The towns served by the station had 30-year disposal contracts with SEMASS that expired between 2015 and 2016. By 2013 the per-ton rates paid by the towns were all well below market rates. Six towns, Brewster, Chatham, Eastham, Sandwich, Truro, and Yarmouth, renewed with SEMASS, but a competitor, ABC Disposal Service of New Bedford, signed up seven other towns, Barnstable, Dennis, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, and Wellfleet, with a promise to build a new recycling and disposal plant. As of 2016 the plant has not been built, the waste is being sent to landfills and ABC has filed for bankruptcy. As of November 2019 ABC has approached Mashpee looking for a substantial increase in their tipping fees claiming the failure to reach an agreement may force the company out of business. ABC has still not completed the promised waste to brickette facility that they sold many towns on. References External links Official website
