The interior is organized with a three-bay main room on the right, and a single-bay unfinished space on the left. A large fireplace projects into the main chamber, with a narrow staircase behind it providing access to the second floor. The house was built about 1810 by David Nicholas, a local housewright, during a minor building boom, and was soon afterward sold to Captain John Wilson. Wilson supposedly operated a chandlery in the house, in addition to his career operating ships out of Cohasset Harbor. The house remained in the Wilson family until 1912, and was then adapted for commercial uses. In 1936 it was given to the Cohasset Historical Society. Bates Ship Chandlery The chandlery, located east of the house, is a two-story frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. The building was originally located opposite Bates Wharf on the waterfront, and was moved to its present location in 1957. It was built in 1754, and is the best-preserved remnant of Cohasset's early maritime history.

Carpenter Bridge (Massachusetts)

The Carpenter Bridge is a historic bridge carrying Carpenter Street over the West Branch Palmer River in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, it is the only surviving 19th-century stone bridge in the town. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The Carpenter Bridge is located in central Rehoboth, in a rural area north of the town center. Carpenter Street runs roughly east–west between Danforth and Perryville Roads, crossing the West Branch Palmer River in its western third. There is a double span stone structure consisting of cap stones laid on two stone abutments and a central pier, all made of locally gathered fieldstone. The load-bearing cap stones are up to ten feet long, three feet wide, and eighteen inches thick, and the piers and abutments consist of dry-laid stone. The abutments are extended by low retaining walls for a short distance on either side, and the central piers upper tiers are flared to lengthen the bridge span. Layers of sand and gravel separate the bridge structure from the road surface. In early colonial times, Carpenter Street was an Indian trail, whose route was eventually taken over by English colonists. The first bridge on the site was a wooden structure built about 1720, probably when the street was accepted as a town road. The present bridge was built as a replacement for that one in 1873. It was built at a cost of $218.15, of which $15 was for materials. The construction was done by the town's road crew, under the direction of William Lake. These types of bridges were built in some number to cross the town's many streams, most of which have since been replaced by modern culverts or concrete bridges.

The Cary Memorial Library (est.1869) is the main branch of the public library in Lexington, Massachusetts. It is located at 1874 Massachusetts Avenue in the town center. History "In 1868 Mrs. Maria Hastings Cary proposed to give $1000 to Lexington to establish a free public library, on condition that a similar sum should be raised in money or in books for the same object. ... The proposition was gratefully accepted and the conditions complied with, by the donation of the other libraries to this object and an appropriation of money by the town. Such was the origin of Cary Library, so named in honor of the original donor." "In 1871, Mrs. Cary being pleased with the public appreciation and usefulness of the library, gave $5000 towards a permanent endowment." By 1890, the library held "between 12,000 and 13,000 volumes. It is highly prized by the people and extensively used; more than 25,000 volumes have been drawn from it during the last year. From 500 to 800 new books are added annually. ... A branch library is maintained in the east village." The library building was built with a bequest from Alice Butler Cary, adopted daughter of Maria Hastings Cary. Construction began in 1905 and was completed in 1906. The architect was Willard D. Brown of Boston, a Lexington resident. The building has been expanded several times since.

Cathedral Church of St. Paul (Boston)

Die Cathedral Church of St. Paul (Pauluskathedrale) in Boston, Massachusetts ist die Kathedrale der Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Das Gebäude steht an der Adresse 138 Tremont Street nahe Downtown Crossing gegenüber dem Boston Common und dem U-Bahnhof Park Street. Die am 30. Juni 1820 geweihte Kirche wurde 1970 als National Historic Landmark in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Beschreibung Das zweistöckige Gebäude wurde vollständig aus in Virginia abgebautem Sandstein errichtet und verfügt über ein Giebeldach. Es war das erste im Stil des Greek Revival gebaute Kirchengebäude in Neuengland. Der tempelähnliche Portikus, der die gesamte nach Westen ausgerichtete Vorderseite des Bauwerks einnimmt, wird von sechs Säulen ionischer Ordnung getragen. Die im Inneren an der östlichen Wand befindliche Kanzel ist eine Kopie aus der Londoner St Paul’s Cathedral und wurde in den 1920er Jahren eingebaut. Da das Gebäude doppelt so teuer wurde wie zuvor berechnet, litt die Kirchengemeinde lange Zeit unter einer erheblichen Schuldenlast.

Cedariver

Das Naturschutzgebiet Cedariver (ehem. Baker Reservation) umfasst eine Fläche von insgesamt 55 Acres (22,3 ha) entlang des Charles River. Es befindet sich bei der Stadt Millis im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten und wird von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet. Geschichte Die Familie Baker betrieb an dieser Stelle von 1939 bis in die 1970er Jahre einen kleinen Bauernhof. Polly Baker sorgte nach Einstellung des Betriebs dafür, dass das Land konserviert wurde. Als sie im Jahr 2002 im Alter von 94 Jahren starb, übereignete sie das Grundstück sowie die darauf befindlichen Bauwerke im Rahmen ihres Erbes an die Trustees of Reservations, weshalb das Schutzgebiet ursprünglich den Namen Baker Reservation trug. Weitere Teilbereiche folgten 2004 durch Schenkungen der Familie Baker, woraufhin das Gebiet in Cedariver umbenannt wurde. Schutzgebiet Das heutige aus Freiflächen, bewaldeten Abschnitten und Wegen entlang des Charles River bestehende Schutzgebiet in der Metropolregion Greater Boston bietet ca. 1 mi (1,6 km) Wanderwege entlang des Flussufers und bildet nur einen kleinen Bestandteil von mehreren, insgesamt eine Fläche von mehr als 500 Acres (2 km²) umfassenden Naturschutzgebieten auf dem Gebiet der Stadt Millis. Es dient vorwiegend dem Naturschutz und ist unter anderem Heimat für Rotschwanzbussarde, Truthühner und Hirsche sowie Goldruten, Eupatorieae und der Schwarzäugigen Susanne. Zugleich bildet es einen Teil des Flutregulierungssystems des United States Army Corps of Engineers. Das Schutzgebiet ist kostenfrei zugänglich.

Center Cemetery (Worthington, Massachusetts)

Center Cemetery is a historic cemetery on the south side of Sam Hill Road in Worthington, Massachusetts. The 2.4-acre (0.97 ha) cemetery was established c. 1774 (the date of its earliest marker), and continues to be used today. Its burials include many of the founders and early settlers of Worthington, and of families influential in the growth and development of the town. The cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Description and history Worthington's Center Cemetery is located southwest of the town center, on the south side of Sam Hill Road. The roughly rectangular plot is set off from its surroundings by a stone wall on three sides, with a line of mature sugar maples just inside the walls, and running along the fourth side. The walls at one time had wooden fencing mounted on them, but this has been removed. Movement within the cemetery is via a turf cart path that skirts its perimeter, just inside the line of trees, and a series of paths laid out in a grid. Most of the over 600 stones are marble, with most of the rest made of granite. Many of the granite markers are made from stone quarried in nearby Goshen, and a number of them bear the marks of locally known stone carvers. One marker, that of Jerome Kinne (d. 1777) has an example of a "Hampton Indian", a motif resembling a Native American face, that is rarely found outside the Hampton, Connecticut area. The oldest stones are in the lowest, westernmost portion of the cemetery. In these sections, stones are laid out without any sort of family grouping. These are more often seen beginning in the 19th century, with bounded family plot areas found near the cemetery's highest land. The area that was the last developed is decorated in part with ornamental plantings.

Center School (Burlington, Massachusetts)

The Center School is a historic school building at 13 Bedford Street in Burlington, Massachusetts. The one-room wood-frame schoolhouse was built in 1855, and occupies a prominent place in the center of Burlington. The building is basically Greek Revival in style, with some Italianate features.

The building served as a library until 1968, and was pressed into service in 1970 to temporarily house the police department. Its tenancy was short-lived, with the premises abandoned after the building was damaged by a Molotov cocktail. The building has since then served as the town's history museum. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middlesex County, Massachusetts References
