Shepherd Brooks Estate

The Shepherd Brooks Estate is a historic property at 275 Grove Street in Medford, Massachusetts, United States. The 82-acre (33 ha) property is owned by the city of Medford, and managed by a trust established to preserve the property. Its principal feature is the manor house constructed in 1880 by Shepherd Brooks, a member of a prominent Medford family, and is the only major 19th-century estate to survive relatively undeveloped in the city. The grounds are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk, and tours of the house are available during the summer. The estate was developed by Brooks, a member of the locally prominent Brooks family that dominated West Medford for many years, as a summer estate and gentleman's farm. The manor house was designed by Peabody and Stearns, and is a large red brick house, with Queen Anne styling. It has a complex roofline with many gables, and there is a porte-cochère. A carriage barn stands near the main house. The estate originally included a second summer house called Point of Rocks, built by Peter Chardon Brooks III in 1859, but this was demolished by the city in the 20th century. The city acquired the 82 acres (33 ha) remnant of the Brooks estate after the death of Shepherd Brooks' wife Clara in 1939. After the Second World War, the city used the estate to provide housing for veterans, and in the 1960s and 1970s it was used as a nursing home. From the 1970s through the late 1980s, the Manor building was used as a group home for mentally-challenged adults. The proposal in 1992 to erect a cellphone tower near the Shepherd Brooks Manor was controversial among local residents. The Brooks Estate Preservation Association, a citizen-led group, was formed to challenge the City of Medford's leadership. A four-year effort to preserve the Brooks Estate in perpetuity was successfully completed with the passage of the Conservation and Preservation Restriction in 1998, which permanently protected the manor, carriage house and 50 acres (20 ha) of land from development and cemetery expansion. Local conservationists then worked to permanently protect the property. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Winslow's mansion housed the former North Shore Country Day school which merged with the Shore School of Beverly Farms in 1936, to form Shore Country Day School. A historical mural was painted in the Library Media Resource Center in the Summer of 2011 which depicts the history of Beverly Massachusetts as it relates to Shore Country Day School. The artists, Joshua Winer and David Fichter, researched notable events in local history and integrated these into a large mural which features 12 prominent individuals. The school was featured in North Shore magazine's list of the "Leading Private Schools" in the area in 2011/2012. The school formerly educated students in Grade 9, but the program was dropped for the 2023/2024 school year and has not resumed since. References External links Official website

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 for its architectural significance.

It is a large two story wood-frame structure, seven bays wide, with a stepped hip roof, clapboard siding, and corner quoining. Its dominant feature is a monumental entrance portico, which rises to form a rounded and dentillated arch at the roof line.

Slocum’s River Reserve

Slocum’s River Reserve ist ein 47 Acres (19 ha) umfassendes Naturschutzgebiet bei der Stadt Dartmouth im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wird von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations gemeinsam mit dem Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust verwaltet. Schutzgebiet Das Schutzgebiet bietet trotz seiner vergleichsweise geringen Größe mit Waldflächen, Freiflächen und einem Fluss – dem namensgebenden Slocums River – eine große landschaftliche Vielfalt. Vom zu Kolonialzeiten als Farmland genutzten Gebiet aus besteht eine gute Aussicht auf die Buzzards Bay und die Region South Coast. Die salzhaltige Meeresluft zieht viele Besucher an, und an klaren Tagen können vom Aussichtspunkt Angelica's Overlook aus die gesamte Bucht, die Elizabeth Islands und am südöstlichen Horizont sogar die Klippen von Martha’s Vineyard beobachtet werden. Im Schutzgebiet, das sich im gemeinsamen Eigentum der Trustees und des Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust befindet, konnten mehr als 3.000 ft (914,4 m) Küste und Salzwiesen geschützt werden. Den Besuchern stehen 2 mi (3,2 km) Wanderwege zur Verfügung. Slocums River Der Fluss, nach dem das Schutzgebiet benannt wurde, ist 4,3 mi (6,9 km) lang und fließt durch Dartmouth hindurch, bevor er in die Buzzards Bay mündet. Der nach einer frühen Siedlerfamilie benannte Fluss ist tatsächlich der zweite, Salzwasser führende Teil des Paskamanset River, der bis zum Übergang in den Slocums River aus Süßwasser besteht und für diesen Teil seinen indianischen Namen behielt.

Society of the Congregational Church of Great Barrington

The Society of the Congregational Church of Great Barrington (also known as First Congregational Church of Great Barrington) is an historic church building and parish house located at 241 and 251 Main Street in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. It is the fourth church of a congregation whose first meetings were held in 1743. History In 1743 the congregation was founded by Samuel Hopkins, an early proponent of the theology of New Divinity. In 1883 the current stone church building was completed after a fire destroyed most of the previous structure, which had been built of locally quarried stone in 1859. In 1883 the congregation also accepted the donation by the Hopkins family of a house to be used as a parish hall. This building, also faced in local stone, was designed by Peabody & Stearns, and was previously located across the street from the church before being moved to its present location next to the church. In the 1880s the church sponsored congregant W. E. B. Du Bois as he attended Fisk University. In 1992 the church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Architecture The church is set in the heart of downtown Great Barrington, facing west toward Main Street. The church, along with its manse and carriage house, are all built of locally quarried limestone. The church is two stories in height, with a longitudinal nave whose walls are supported by buttresses. Its roof is steeply pitched, and covered in slate. A five-story tower, 116 feet (35 m) in height, rises at the southwest corner, and is topped by a pyramidal roof with flared edges. The church was built in 1883, using parts of the previous (1859) structure, which was built from stone sourced at the same quarry, and was destroyed by fire in 1882. The church was designed by William C. Brocklesby, an architect practicing in Hartford, Connecticut. The manse and carriage barn, added in 1884, were designed by Peabody and Stearns of Boston.
