Philemon Russell House

The Philemon Russell House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts, United States. Philemon Robbins Russell was a farmer who owned 50 acres (20 ha) of apple orchards near Russell Street. This land was converted to house lots for development by Captain Gilman Sargent in 1845, creating Orchard Street, Russell Street, and Cottage Place. Russell's house, built in 1845, is one of the best-preserved side-hall Greek Revival farmhouses in the city. According to the Somerville Journal, a fire occurred that badly damaged the upper portion of the house. The cause was a mystery, and the estimated damage was $2,000. The Boston Daily Globe reported the fire took place on February 26, 1905. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Philemon Wright/Asa Locke Farm

The Philemon Wright/Asa Locke Farm, better known as "Wright-Locke Farm," is a historic farm at 78 Ridge Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The organic farm grows and sells produce and offers educational programs for children and adults on land now owned by the Wright-Locke Land Trust. History The property was owned around the turn of the 19th century by Philemon Wright, a noted explorer of Canada, and was developed by the family of Josiah Locke, to whom he sold the property in 1800 before embarking on his explorations. The Greek Revival farmhouse was probably built around 1828 by Asa Locke. The farm remained in the Locke family into the 20th century. In 2007, the Town of Winchester purchased the farm, then 20 acres, for $14 million to prevent the construction of a 300-unit housing development. The intention at the time was to sell 12.5 acres to a developer who planned to build fewer homes. However, the developer defaulted on payments in 2010 and forfeited a deposit on the land, leaving the town in the hole. Advocates then launched a fund-raising campaign to prevent any residential development on the land. In May 2015, Town Meeting members voted to authorize the Board of Selectmen to sell the 12.5 acres to the Wright-Locke Land Trust for $8.6 million. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is one of a few working farms in Winchester. The Farm Today Wright-Locke Farm draws visitors to its farm stand, outdoor concerts, lectures, workshops, educational camps for children, and pick-your-own raspberries. It also is a popular spot for weddings. Walking paths are open to public year-round. In 2017, the farm kicked off a capital campaign to raise $4.8 million to build an Education Center with a kitchen and classroom. Such a building would allow the farm to run its educational programming year-round.

Phipps Street Burying Ground

The Phipps Street Burying Ground is a historic cemetery on Phipps Street in Charlestown, now a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. History The burial ground was created in 1630, when Charlestown was a separate community from Boston; it is the oldest cemetery within Boston's present limits. The "Charlestown Carver", an anonymous stone cutter active in the 1660s, began an important regional style that was continued by the Lamson family for many generations. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Interments Since it was the only cemetery in Charlestown (which was annexed to Boston in the 19th century) for many years, it had a wide range of class and situation: Prince Bradstreet, "an honest man of color". Benjamin Gorham, Congressman 1820–23, 1827–31, 1833–35. Nathaniel Gorham, president of the Continental Congress and signer of the United States Constitution. John Harvard, for whom Harvard University is named. Oliver Holden, an American composer and compiler of hymns. Edward Michael Wigglesworth (c. 1693–1765), a clergyman, teacher and theologian in Colonial America. Phineas Pratt, a joiner, arrived 1622, aboard Sparrow with Weston's men.

Pierce House (Dorchester, Massachusetts)

The Pierce House is a rare 17th-century (First Period) house at 24 Oakton Avenue in the Dorchester neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. Built c. 1683, It documents period building practices, and the tastes and housing needs of one family, the Pierces, over more than three centuries. At different times, family members expanded and adapted their dwelling to meet new demands for space, function, comfort, privacy, and cleanliness. The history of the Pierce family, ten generations of whom lived in the Pierce House, highlights important aspects of social history, community history, and New England history. On the most direct level it tells the story of a New England family over the course of three hundred and fifty years. The Pierces, like other families of their class, worked hard to provide for themselves and their children and to preserve their legacy; to do so they continually had to adapt to changing circumstances. They took part in both local and national events; during the American Revolution, for example, Colonel Samuel Pierce (1736–1815), participated in the fortification of Dorchester Heights. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The house is now owned by Historic New England, which operates it as a historic house museum, with school and youth programs.

Pilgrim Memorial Church and Parish House

Pilgrim Memorial Church and Parish House is an historic church and parsonage at 249 Wahconah Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The church was designed by H. Neill Wilson, and was completed in 1897. It is a good local example of Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and was the first church built to serve the mill workers in the city's north end. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The present church congregation is Presbyterian. Architecture and history Pilgrim Memorial Church stands in a mixed-use area north of downtown Pittsfield, on the west side of Wahconah Street south of its junction with Pecks Road and Pontoosuc Avenue. It is a modestly scaled stone structure, built out of local fieldstone and covered by a steeply pitched gable roof. The gable ends are slightly parapeted, and there are projecting gable sections at the northern end. The east-facing projection houses the main entrance, and has projecting stone buttresses. The south-facing sanctuary facade has three tall Gothic windows, the center one rising into the gable. The church's construction was an outgrowth of planning by local church leaders to provide services closer to where the city's workers lived. Plans for this site were drawn by local architect H. Neill Wilson, which included a chapel (seating about 300), and a larger sanctuary seating 450. Of the two, only the smaller chapel was ever built. The parish house was built in 1927, and was also designed by Wilson. Unlike the church, which was built in granite, the parish house is a single story tan brick building in a more utilitarian style.

Pillsbury Summer House

The Pillsbury Summer House is a historic house at 45 Old Cove Road in Duxbury, Massachusetts. The two-story wood-frame house was built in 1938, and is a locally distinctive early example of Modern architecture, as the first major work of architect Sarah Pillsbury Harkness, and as a rare regional example of a Modern summer house. The house was designed by Harkness for her parents, in collaboration with Eleanor Raymond. The house was built in the same year that Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius built his house in Lincoln, Massachusetts; this house differs from his in that it draws more organically on New England traditional architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Plymouth County, Massachusetts References

The Pine Grove Cemetery, also known as the First Meetinghouse Burying Ground, is an historic cemetery on Tremaine and Main Streets in Leominster, Massachusetts. Established in 1742, it is the city's oldest cemetery, and the principal surviving element of the town's early settlement.

The cemetery was enlarged in 1776, and again in the 1820s to reach its present size of three acres (1.2 ha). It was the city's only cemetery until 1840, when Evergreen Cemetery was opened to its northeast. It is the resting place for most of Leominster's early settlers, and for many of its 18th and 19th century political and business leaders. The cemetery is located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) northeast of downtown Leominster, east of Main Street and south of Tremaine Street. It is roughly rectangular in shape, and is generally level, with a steep rise only near its northern entrance. There are entrances (none accessible to public vehicles) on the north, south, and west sides. The western (Main Street) entrance is for pedestrians only, while the other two have normally locked wrought iron gates. Vehicular circulation is by two grassy (formerly cobbled) roads that run roughly north–south, one of them connecting the north and south gates. Burials in the cemetery, in addition to early settlers and business leaders, include a number of American Revolutionary War veterans.
