Myrtle Street School

The Myrtle Street School is a historic school at 64 Myrtle Street in the Indian Orchard neighborhood of Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in stages between 1868 and 1915, it encapsulates changing trends in school design over that period of time, and is a good example of a school building with Second Empire and Classical Revival features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It has been converted to residential use. Description and history The Myrtle Street School is located in the Indian Hill neighborhood of northeastern Springfield, on a lot bounded by Worcester, Myrtle and Hampden Streets on three sides, and residential properties on the west side. It is very roughly U-shaped, with broad wings facing Myrtle Street joined by connecting sections at the back; further elements project from the rear spine of the building. The Myrtle Street facades are similar, with Classical Revival styling including pilasters and projecting central portions topped by pedimented gables. The school was built in three stages between 1868 and 1915. The oldest portion of the school exhibits Second Empire styling, while major additions in 1903 and 1914 added additional classroom space, an auditorium and gymnasium, and hallways connecting the various portions to each other. The later additions were built with Classical Revival styling, and largely obscure the 1868 building, which is now at the rear of the complex. Many of the original features of the buildings have survived, including elements such as wooden staircases and decorative molding in the 1868 portion.

Mystic Dam

The Mystic Dam (and its gatehouse) are a historic dam and gatehouse between Lower and Upper Mystic Lakes in the suburbs north of Boston, Massachusetts. The dam was built in 1864–65 by the Charlestown Water Commission (Charlestown then being separate from Boston) as part of a water supply system. It was located at a narrow point between the Lower and Upper Mystic Lakes, with its west end in Arlington and its east end in Medford. The water system it was a part of eventually merged into the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC), predecessor to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). As built, the dam was over 1,500 feet (460 m) long and 16 feet (4.9 m) high, with most of that length (about 1,000 feet (300 m)) consisting of earthen embankments lined with riprap and puddle clay. Near its center is a spillway area consisting of a series of square columns constructed of granite blocks and a masonry apron. These columns are grooved on their inner faces to facilitate the installation of stop logs. A wooden walkway with a plank railing ran across the top of the dam. A wooden fish ladder was built, but removed at a later date. A gatehouse on the Medford side was used to connect the upper lake to a brick-lined aqueduct that delivered the water to Charlestown. The lake area impounded by the dam is 186 acres (75 ha). The dam and gatehouse were each listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. By the early 2000s, the dam was known to not be in very good condition, with failing spillway masonry, erosion, and other damage to the dam's stonework. A major storm in 2006 flooded portions of the surrounding area, and highlighted the potential inability of the dam to handle a significant high-water event, leading to catastrophic flooding of downstream areas. Between 2010 and 2012 major work was undertaken to improve the dam's condition. A new spillway was constructed to the east of the old spillway, which received a new spillway apron. Work was done on the embankments and the shores near the upper areas of the dam, and a new fish ladder and bridge were built. The historic gatehouse was also rehabilitated, and modern controls were added, enabling improved control over the water levels behind the dam.

Nantucket Cliff Range Lights

The Nantucket Cliff Lights, also known as the Nantucket Cliff Range Lights were a set of range lights on Nantucket. Over the years, there were several sets of range lights to lead ships into Nantucket Harbor. The first were built in 1838. The second, a pair of conical white towers which still exist-owned by the Gilbreth family of "Cheaper by the Dozen" Fame-although not on the same site, were discontinued in 1912. The Gilbreth Family purchased the two latter range lights in 1921.

Nathaniel Bowditch House

Das Nathaniel Bowditch House ist ein heute kommerziell genutztes Gebäude in Salem im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wurde nach Nathaniel Bowditch benannt, der von 1811 bis 1823 in diesem Haus lebte. Seit 1965 ist es als National Historic Landmark anerkannt und seit 1966 im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Architektur Das Haus wurde zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtet und stand zunächst an der Essex Street in Salem, bevor es ca. 1945 an seinen heutigen Standort versetzt wurde, um seinen endgültigen Abriss aufgrund einer Straßenverbreiterung zu verhindern. Das dreistöckige Gebäude wurde im Federal Style errichtet und besteht vollständig aus Holz. Es besitzt ein niedriges Walmdach und verfügt über einen zweieinhalbstöckigen Anbau an der Rückseite. Der zentriert angeordnete Haupteingang wird von zwei Säulen Korinthischer Ordnung flankiert, die ein Gebälk tragen. Die Innenaufteilung entspricht dem klassischen Schema aus vier Räumen pro Etage. Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Versetzung an den neuen Standort war das Haus in einem sehr schlechten Zustand und musste umfassend renoviert werden. Trotzdem entspricht das äußere Erscheinungsbild weitgehend dem Originalzustand, während die Innenräume neu gestaltet wurden. Historische Bedeutung Von 1811 bis 1823 lebte Nathaniel Bowditch in diesem Haus, der in den Vereinigten Staaten insbesondere für seine Entwicklungen in der nautischen Navigation sowie für die „Einführung kontinentaler Mathematik nach Amerika“ bekannt ist. So entdeckte er nicht weniger als 8000 Fehler im Buch The Practical Navigator, das als Navigationshandbuch vom Engländer John Hamilton Moore veröffentlicht worden war. Einer der schwerwiegendsten Fehler war die unzutreffende Angabe des Jahres 1800 als Schaltjahr, was zu mehreren Unfällen auf See führte. In der Folge wurde Bowditchs eigenes Buch The New American Practical Navigator nach dessen Erscheinen 1802 zum Standardwerk für Seeleute weltweit. Nachdem er sich mit 21 Jahren Latein selbst beigebracht hatte, las er das Buch Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica von Isaac Newton im Original und fand dort ebenfalls einen Fehler. Mit Hilfe einer Bibel und eines Wörterbuchs lernte er Französisch und übersetzte daraufhin das Werk Traité de Mécanique Céleste (Abhandlung über die Himmelsmechanik) von Pierre-Simon Laplace ins Englische. Er konnte davon vier Bände mit jeweils mehr als 1000 Seiten Umfang veröffentlichen, bevor er 1838 starb und seine Arbeit am fünften Band nicht vollenden konnte.

National Shrine of The Divine Mercy (Stockbridge, Massachusetts)

The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy is a Catholic shrine located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The priests and brothers of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary have resided on Eden Hill in Stockbridge, since June 1944. Father Walter Pelczynski, MIC, with the assistance of local clergy and friends of the Marian community, initially purchased 50 of the 370 acres (1.5 km2) that constituted the "Eden Hill" estate in November, 1943. The house was to serve as the novitiate for a newly formed province. An image of "The Divine Mercy" was enshrined in one of the small chapels where the members of the community prayed daily a perpetual novena to the Divine Mercy. Pilgrims began to arrive the very next spring to celebrate the Feast of The Divine Mercy (the Sunday after Easter). By the end of World War II in 1945, pilgrims in growing numbers came to offer thanksgiving for graces received through the Divine Mercy message and devotion. They urged the Marians to build a shrine to Jesus, The Divine Mercy, as a votive of thanks. The Fathers decided to accede to the requests since there was also a need for a larger chapel to accommodate a growing community. The construction of the present Shrine began in 1950 and was completed and solemnly dedicated by Springfield Bishop Christopher Weldon in 1960. In 1996, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops declared it a National Shrine in accord with Church law. The National Shrine has drawn thousands of pilgrims from around the world.

Needham Street Bridge

The Needham Street Bridge is a historic bridge at Needham Street over the Charles River connecting Needham and Newton, Massachusetts. The bridge was built in 1875, when Needham Street was laid out, connecting Newton Centre, Newton Highlands, and Needham center. It was designed and built by Hiram Blaisdell and William Wheeler, then in the early stages of a successful civil engineering career. The bridge is one of the finest surviving stone arch bridges in the Boston area. The bridge is distinctive among those that do survive as not having been widened. The bridge has three spans, with a total length of 95 feet (29 m) and a roadway width of 40 feet (12 m); there are 65 feet (20 m) of wing walls along the river banks. Each span is a semi-elliptical arch spanning 27 feet (8.2 m). It is one of Newton's oldest bridges. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

New Africa House

The New Africa House, formerly known as Mills House, is an academic building and former dormitory of the University of Massachusetts Amherst built in the Georgian revival style with Art Deco accents. It is part of the Central Residential Area at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It was designed by Louis Ross, who designed many of the dormitories on campus as well as the Student Union. The Mills House had been named after an early dean of the Massachusetts Agricultural College (the college that evolved into the University of Massachusetts), George Franklin Mills, who had taught literature and Latin for years, and also been the college treasurer. An incident led to a black student takeover of the dorm in the spring of 1970. After negotiations with university officials, an agreement was made to rename the house "New Africa House". The then newly formed African-American studies department, the W.E.B. Du Bois Department for Afro-American Studies, would relocate its offices there, where (as of 2020) it remains to this day. The house also features the Augusta Savage Art Gallery and the university's Everywoman's Center. References A history of Afro-American studies at UMass Amherst This post explains the history of black students at the university, including, importantly, towards the middle of the article, the story of the takeover of the Mills House by black students after a group of white frat brothers chased two black students to the dorm, and threatened to return with a larger group.

New Bedford Fire Museum

The New Bedford Fire Museum is a local history museum at 51 Bedford Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States. It is located in the 1867 Fire Station No. 4, the city's oldest surviving fire station. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The museum is open between July 4 and Labor Day. It houses a collection of firefighting equipment and memorabilia related to the history of firefighting in the city. Architecture and building history The New Bedford Fire Museum is located south of downtown New Bedford, at the northwest corner of South 6th and Bedford Streets. The former fire station it is located in is a two-story brick building, constructed in 1867 and enlarged in the 1880s. Its most prominent feature is the hose tower, which has bricked-over rounded-arch openings and a hip roof with a flared eave and corbelled brick cornice. The original portion of the station has two equipment bays, with paneled doors and granite frame. The enlargement, to the left of the main block, also has two bays on either side of a pedestrian door. The building was originally designed for horse-drawn fire equipment, its lower level including stable space, and the upper level used in part as a hay loft. The station's first foreman was A.M. Howland Jr., who later served as mayor of New Bedford, and it was staffed by a volunteer force. The station was named in honor of Cornelius Howland, one of the city's leading merchants. The addition originally housed the fire department repair shop. In 1913, the volunteer force was replaced by paid staff, and the hay lofts were converted into living space. The station was one of the oldest continuously operating fire stations in the state when it was closed in 1979. In 1975 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Fire Station No. 4. The museum was opened the following year. Museum collection The museum has a collection of old firefighting equipment and some old fire engines. Among them is the original 1867 Cornelius Howland hand pumper, which saw active service in this station until 1884. It also includes log books from the station's operations between 1867 and 1913. Visitors can try on old uniforms and slide down the pole. Old city fire records dating to 1890 are available for research and review. Retired and active city firefighters act as docents. Rain damage to the station's roof required the closing and renovation of the museum's second story. It reopened in July 2008.
