New Bedford Whaling Museum

New Bedford Whaling Museum (NBWM) é o museu da indústria baleeira (em português europeu: baleação) localizado na cidade norte-americana de New Bedford. O complexo do museu faz parte do New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park que é um local histórico nacional especializado na baleia, pois o porto de New Bedford foi um dos portos baleeiros mais proeminente do mundo durante o século XIX. O museu é administrado pela "Old Dartmouth Historical Society" (ODHS) e possui mais de 700.000 itens em seu acervo, incluindo mais de 3.000 Scrimshaw e 2.500 diários de bordo. História O museu começou a ser idealizado em janeiro de 1903, através de uma campanha do repórter Ellis Howland, do jornal Daily Evening Standard. Em julho de 1903, os membros da ODHS contrataram o advogado e congressista William W. Crapo para dar vida a ideia e aquisição do acervo. Em 1904, o acervo já contava com 700 peças, que eram expostas em salas alugadas. Em 1906, o empresário Henry Huttleston Rogers doou o Bank of Commerce Building para a ODHS com o propósito do lucro deste banco gerar recursos para a construção de uma sede; o que ocorreu em 1907. Em 1998, o NBWM construiu o Azorean Whaleman Gallery, uma galeria com exposição permanente dedicada às contribuições dos marinheiros e construtores de barcos baleeiros açorianos para a história baleeira dos EUA.

New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park

New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Partially owned by several entities and maintained by the National Park Service (NPS), the park commemorates the heritage of the world's preeminent whaling port during the nineteenth century. Established in 1996, the park encompasses 34 acres (fourteen hectares) dispersed over 13 city blocks. It includes a visitor center, the New Bedford National Historic Landmark District, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Seamen's Bethel, the schooner Ernestina, and the Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum. The only parts owned by the NPS are the Visitor Center and the Corson Maritime Learning Center. The park is a historic district administered under a partnership between the NPS, the City of New Bedford, and private building owners to preserve the historic landscapes, structures, and collections and promote research and educational programming associated with the history of whaling. The enabling legislation also established a formal affiliation with the Iñupiat Heritage Center in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, to commemorate the 2,000-plus whaling voyages from New Bedford to the Western Arctic. The city markets the park as "New England's real seaport", drawing a distinction with Connecticut's Mystic Seaport Museum, which is a collection of historic buildings and vessels moved from various other locations throughout the region. A monument to whalers, called The Whaleman, stands two blocks west of the park, at the corner of William and Pleasant Streets in front of the New Bedford Public Library.

New Boston Inn

Das New Boston Inn ist eine historische Gaststätte in Sandisfield, Massachusetts. Das Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts errichtete Gebäude zählt zu den ältesten der Stadt. Es wurde 1988 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen und ist seit 2022 Contributing Property zum New Boston Village Historic District. Die Gaststätte ist nach eigenen Angaben die älteste im Berkshire County und bietet auch Bed and Breakfast an. Beschreibung Man geht davon aus, dass das New Boston Inn um 1755 als kleines Gebäude begonnen wurde, an dem später mehrere umfangreiche Anbauten ergänzt wurden. Das nach Osten ausgerichtete, mit Schindeln gedeckte Hauptgebäude im Federal Style wurde beispielsweise um 1800 hinzugefügt. Die Dachtraufen machen an den Giebelenden volle Rücksprünge und bilden Giebel, die mit Schindeln bedeckt sind. In der Mitte befindet sich ein breiter Eingang mit einer trapezförmigen Einfassung, die Seitenfenster umschließt. Pilaster rahmen diese ein und erheben sich durch den Fries zum vorspringenden Gesims. Ein zweieinhalbstöckiger Anbau steht an der südöstlichen Ecke des Hauptgebäudes. An der Nordfassade des Hauptgebäudes befindet sich ein großer Flügel unter einem Giebeldach. An der Nordostecke des Flügels ist eine Scheune im Neuengland-Stil angebaut. Die zweiflügeligen Eingangstüren befinden sich an der Südfassade. Das Gasthaus befindet sich am östlichen Ende eines langgestreckten Grundstücks, das an der Süd-, West- und Nordseite von Steinmauern (ca. 1800) begrenzt wird. Das umschlossene Grundstück ist offen und mit Gras bewachsen. Ein zeitgenössisches Schild neben dem Gebäude trägt den Namen des Gasthauses und das irreführende Datum 1737. Dieses Datum steht zwar im Zusammenhang mit den Einzelheiten einer Landzuweisung, doch wurde die Stadt erst in den 1750er Jahren besiedelt.

New Boston Inn

The New Boston Inn is a historic inn at 101 North Main Street, the junction of Massachusetts Routes 8 and 57 in the center of the New Boston village of Sandisfield, Massachusetts. With a construction history dating back to c. 1750, it is one of the oldest buildings in the town, and a prominent local example of Federal period architecture. It has served as a traveler accommodation of some sort for over two centuries. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Description and history The New Boston Inn occupies a prominent location in the center of New Boston village, at the northwest corner of Routes 8 and 57. Both roads are historically old roads, and the bridge over the West Branch Farmington River just to the inn's east is at the site of one of the first bridges to be built in what is now Sandisfield. The inn is a 2+1⁄2-story clapboarded wood-frame structure with Federal period styling. Its main entrance is flanked by sidelights and topped by an entablature, with a Palladian window in the second floor above. Inside, the second-floor ballroom is noted for arched ceiling. Extending west, and facing Route 57, is a two-story ell that is probably the oldest portion of the building. Extending northward from that ell is another long two-story ell. The area that is now Sandisfield was first settled in 1740s. One of the early settlers was Daniel Brown, whose house is recorded as standing on this site in 1752. He is also later recorded as being an innkeeper. The architecture of the ell is consistent with the idea that it constitutes in large part the house that Brown built. Brown's son Sanford, who took over the property in 1792, was likely responsible for the construction of what is now the main portion of the inn. The inn flourished economically, in part because it was on the main stagecoach route between Hartford, Connecticut and Albany, New York. Although business declined as the expansion of railroads led to a decline in business on the stage routes, the inn was updated around 1885 to a "country hotel". It was revitalized with the advent of increased automobile traffic in the 1920s, which brought tourists to the area.

New Covenant Church of Cambridge

New Covenant Church of Cambridge is located in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is a Haitian church and is headed by the Reverend Esther and the Reverend Thomas St. Louis. History The Protestant congregation began in 1984 as a gathering of the extended St. Louis family in a living room. As Haitian immigrants and native-born Americans increased its numbers, the church rotated services among members' houses, schools, auditoriums, and outside venues. In 1990, the congregation bought a former woodworking shop in North Cambridge and converted it into a church. After seven years the congregation had outgrown the building and searched for larger premises. After several failed bids at different sites, they successfully purchased St. Joseph Roman Catholic church, convent, and adjacent buildings in Waltham; one of 44 church buildings closed in a reorganisation of the Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese that started in 2004. The main church building accommodates 1000 worshipers, whilst the adjacent smaller hall has room for 300. Services are mainly given in Haitian Creole, with English services provided once a month.

New England Confectionery Company Factory

The New England Confectionery Company Factory, also known as the NECCO Candy Factory, is a historic factory complex at 250 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The property is now owned by DFS Advisors, and is under long-term lease to Novartis. The complex, which includes the factory building, a power plant, and a modern (2003) parking garage, occupies most of an entire city block bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, Cross Street, Albany Street, and Lansdowne Street. The Moderne-style building was constructed of reinforced concrete, faced predominantly with beige brick and trimmed with limestone. On some facades smooth concrete predominates as the finish surface. The building had a water tower that was painted to resemble a roll of Necco Wafers; during the alterations of the property for use by Novartis, the water tower was retained, and is now painted with a DNA pattern in pastel colors. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Company history The New England Confectionery Company was formed in 1901 by the merger of three Boston-area confectioners. One of these, Ball and Fobes, had in 1860 acquired another competitor whose equipment included precursors to those used to manufacture Necco Wafers. Ball and Fobes developed methods to print writing on hard candies. It was built in 1925-27 to serve as the company's sole manufacturing facility, replacing earlier facilities (which are now part of the Fort Point Channel Historic District) in Boston, and was at the time the world's largest candy factory. The building was designed in the Moderne style by a company engineer, F. C. Lutze, and built by Lockwood & Greene. The company used the facility as its major production facility until 2003, when it consolidated operations in Revere.

SouthCoast Marketplace

SouthCoast Marketplace is a power center in Fall River, Massachusetts, United States, at the intersection of Route 24 and Route 81. The center opened in 2017 and replaced the New Harbour Mall, an enclosed shopping mall that was located at the site from 1971 to 2016. New Harbour Mall was noted for having once been the only shopping center in the United States to feature rival department store chains Kmart and Walmart as its anchor stores until 2013. The mall closed its doors on Jan 2, 2016 to undergo a $50 million renovation by the CEA Group, and was demolished and replaced by SouthCoast Marketplace. History Harbour Mall opened in 1971 with discounters Bradlees and Grant City (the discount division of W.T. Grant) as its anchor stores, the latter of which was converted to Kmart following the 1976 closure of the Grant City chain. Except for the addition of a movie theater in 1984, Harbour Mall remained largely unchanged until a 1993 renovation which added skylights, new entrance canopies, and re-designing of the common mall areas. The mall's movie theaters closed in September 2007. In its final years, the New Harbour Mall was largely empty except for its anchor stores. In 2015, a reporter for the Fall River's Herald News described the mall's interior as "Dark, depressing and almost eerie, with most of its store spaces shuttered and empty." Among the few interior stores left in the mall at that time were Payless ShoeSource and Rainbow, with other previous tenants such as GNC and RadioShack having already closed their locations in the mall after Walmart relocated to a new, larger store elsewhere in Fall River in 2013. The interior of the mall was closed on January 2, 2016. Kmart, the last remaining anchor tenant, closed its store in the mall in May 2016. Following its conversion from the New Harbour Mall to SouthCoast Marketplace, the property is now a power center with no indoor mall sections. The anchor tenants of the plaza, according to the official website, are Market Basket, T.J. Maxx, and Picture Show Theaters. All of which opened in October 2017. Other tenants include PetSmart, Staples, Old Navy, Ulta Beauty, Supercuts, Five Below, Qdoba, Five Guys, Starbucks, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, and Jersey Mike's Subs. References
New Salem Common Historic District

The New Salem Common Historic District encompasses the historic town center of New Salem, Massachusetts. Located on South Main Street, it includes the town common and most of its civic and institutional buildings. Most buildings in the district date to the 18th and 19th centuries. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The land that now makes up New Salem was granted in 1734 to citizens of Salem, Massachusetts, and was settled in 1737. It flourished as a rural community based on lumber and agriculture, with the town center benefiting economically as a stagecoach stop on the route between Worcester and Brattleboro, Vermont. The town center was originally laid out in 1737, including a large common, of which the present two-acre common is a surviving remnant. Other early elements of the center include the town pound, a stone enclosure built to house stray livestock, and the cemetery. The town center was bypassed by the railroads in the 19th century, and the town subsequently stagnated economically and declined in population. The historic district extends along South Main Street, from East and West Main Street in the north to Lovers Lane in the south. It is about 35 acres (14 ha) in size, with 43 historic buildings. Prominent among these are the First Congregational Church (1794), its 1838 and 1909 town halls, and the buildings of New Salem Academy, some of which date to the early 19th century. The common, in addition to several war memorials, includes a memorial to early settler William Stacy, who served in the American Revolutionary War and was an early settler of the Ohio Country.

Southbridge station

Southbridge station is a former train station in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1910 by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H), it is a rare local example of Spanish Mediterranean architecture, and is the only surviving railroad building in the town. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as New York, New Haven & Hartford Passenger Depot. It presently serves as the town's registry for motor vehicles. Description and history The former station is located on a roughly triangular parcel between Southbridge’s downtown and the Quinebaug River, where much of its industry was historically located. The parcel is bounded on the northeast by the former railroad tracks, the south by Larochelle Way (formerly Depot Street), and on the north and west by Hook Street. It is a single story wood frame structure, built in a Spanish Colonial style, with stucco walls and tile roof. A similarly-roofed passenger waiting area once lined the south side of the track on the platform just north of the station, but this has been removed. Southbridge's railroad service began in 1866, with service provided by the Blackstone and Southbridge Railroad. The track originally extended further to the northwest, nearer the Hamilton Woolen Company mill complex, where there once stood passenger and freight depots and an office building. After a series of mergers, the service was taken over by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1907. This depot was built by that railroad in 1910, and served as a passenger station until 1930. Its style, which is uncommon in any sort of building in central Massachusetts, was somewhat typical for railroad-related infrastructure during the early 20th century.
