The Mount (Massachusetts)

Als The Mount ist das ehemalige Wohnhaus der amerikanischen Schriftstellerin Edith Wharton im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Im November 1971 wurde das in Lenox im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten stehende Gebäude inklusive eines rund 40 ha großen Grundstücks als National Historic Landmark anerkannt. Heute dient es als Museum. Beschreibung Das Grundstück, auf dem sich das Haus befindet, ist über ein Tor mit der Plunkett Street verbunden. In dessen unmittelbarer Nähe befindet sich ein zweistöckiges Torhaus, dessen Veranda an der Vorderseite vier Säulen Dorischer Ordnung aufweist. Nach rund 200 Metern folgen die ehemaligen Stallungen, und nach weiteren 300 Metern erreicht man das im Stil von Christopher Wren errichtete Haupthaus. Zu dessen äußerlichen Merkmalen zählen insbesondere das modifizierte Walmdach, eine zentral angeordnete Kuppel sowie eine zwischen den vier inneren Kaminen mittels einer Balustrade umgrenzte Plattform auf dem Dach. Der Haupteingang befindet sich an der Westseite des Gebäudes, im Osten und Süden grenzt ein terrassenförmig angelegter Garten an. Historische Bedeutung Das Haus wurde für die Familie Wharton je nach Quelle 1901 oder 1902 errichtet. Bis 1909 wohnten die Whartons jeweils von Juni bis Dezember dort, dann nur noch unregelmäßig; im Zuge der Scheidung ihrer Ehe verkaufte Edith Wharton das Haus 1913 schließlich. Nach mehreren Eigentümerwechseln kaufte es in den 1940er Jahren die Foxhollow School for Girls, bis es in den 1980er Jahren schließlich in das Eigentum der Edith Wharton Restoration, Inc. überging, die das Gebäude bis heute instand hält und betreibt.

The Mount

The Mount é um palácio rural norte-americano construído em 1902 em Lenox, no Massachusetts, E.U.A. Foi a residência da autora americana Edith Wharton, a qual desenhou o edifício e os seus terrenos, considerando-o a sua "primeira verdadeira casa". A propriedade, localizada na rtegião de the Berkshires, encontra-se aberta ao público entre Maio e Outubro. São oferecidos aos visitantes passeios pelo palácio e pelos jardins. The Mount foi inspirado Belton House, um palácio rural inglês do século XVII, com influências adicionais da arquitectura clássica francesa e italiana. Edith Wharton usou os princípios descritos no seu primeiro livro, "The Decoration of Houses" (em co-autoria com Ogden Codman, Jr.), quando desenhou o palácio. Ela pensava que a boa expressão arquitectónica incluía ordem, escala e harmonia. A sua elevação oeste (entrada do edifício) possui três andares; no lado do jardim tem dois pisos com uma abertura para um grande e elevado terraço de pedra, com vista para os terrenos. O exterior do edifício apresenta um surpreendente estuque branco, fortemente contrastado pelas persianas pretas e erguido a partir duma base quase rústica de vulgares pedras do campo. Conjuntos de empenas e chaminés brancas erguem-se a partir do telhado, o qual é coberto por uma balaustrada e cúpula. Ao edifício principal junta-se uma portaria e o estábulo em estilo neo-georgiano, e a estufa. O colaborador ocasional de Wharton, Ogden Codman, Jr., assistiu com o desenho arquitectónico. A sobrinha de Wharton, Beatrix Jones Farrand, desenhou o jardim-cozinha e a estrada; Farrand era a única mulher do conjunto de onze fundadores da Sociedade Americana de Arquitectos Paisagístas. Edith Wharton e o seu marido, Edward, viveram em The Mount entre 1902 e 1911. Depois da saída dos Wharton, o palácio serviu de residência privada, dormitório de raparigas da Foxhollow School e de domicílio da companhia teatral "Shakespeare & Company". Foi então comprado pela "Edith Wharton Restoration", a qual tem restaurado grande parte da propriedade para a sua condição original. O edifício está bem situado no alto dos seus terrenos. O lugar original tinha 113 acres de terras de cultivo, com mais 15 acres adicionados posteriormente. A árera da actual propriedade é de 49,5 acres. Os jardins restaurados incluem um jardim italiano murado, um jardim formal de flores, um jardim de rochas alpinas, um passeio de calcário e extensos terraços relvados.

Rosebud (diner)

Rosebud is a historic diner building at 381 Summer Street in Somerville, Massachusetts, near Davis Square. The diner was built in 1941 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company for the Nichols and Perivolaris families. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The original lunch car was 400 square feet. At some point, an addition of over 3000 square feet was made to the back containing a full kitchen (as opposed to the original small grill area behind the counter) and additional seating. Recent history In 2013, after 40 years of Nichols family ownership, Evangelos Nichols sold the Rosebud to Martin Bloom. Bloom, the founder of a chain of Italian restaurants called Vinny Testa's and owner of the Mission Oak Grill, promised to leave the exterior untouched. However, the original interior was completely removed and the business name changed to "Rosebud American Kitchen and Bar", reflecting the shift from a diner-style business model to a mid-tier table service restaurant. The restaurant was operated by the Alpine Restaurants Group, owners of two other restaurants within two blocks of Rosebud, "Posto", a wood-fired pizzeria; and "The Painted Burro", a Mexican restaurant. Alpine decided to put more focus into their other restaurant concepts, and in June 2023, Rosebud was sold to investor Koushik “Babu” Koganti's Bindas Concepts for $800K. It abruptly closed in late September with staff given less than two weeks' notice, and reopened a few weeks later as the "Rosebud Bar & Kitchen" with some repairs having been made to the building and a menu that included a fusion of Indian influences with American diner food. In popular culture In 2019, the diner made an appearance as the "Rose Diner" in an episode of the German TV series Katie Fforde. The diner's likeness makes a brief appearance at the end of season 2 episode 10 of Japanese animated series Blood Blockade Battlefront.

The Stanstead

The Stanstead is a historic apartment building located at 19 Ware Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The three-story Richardsonian Romanesque building was built in 1887, and is an uncommon brick rendition of a triple-decker, more typically a wood-frame construction, that was just becoming popular in Cambridge. The architects, J. R. & W. P. Richards, also designed The Jarvis, another early brick apartment house in the city. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

The Town Farm

The Town Farm, now the Easthampton Lodging House, is a historic poor farm at 75 Oliver Street in Easthampton, Massachusetts. It was established in 1890 as an inexpensive way to provide for the town's indigent population, and is the only locally run facility of its type to survive in the state. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Description and history Easthampton's former town farm is located in a rural setting west of downtown Easthampton, on the north side of Oliver Street opposite Hollister Drive. The main building was built in a manner typical of earlier Greek Revival poorhouses: a central five-bay 2-1/2 story main block was flanked by residential wings. This structure, however, includes Craftsman and Queen Anne details more typical of the late 19th century. The building exterior has only received modest alterations since its construction, the most notable being an addition to the west wing made by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Poor farms were a typical means by which communities provided for their indigent poor in the 19th century. This facility was established by the town in 1890, and originally included a wider array of agricultural buildings. The facility was operated as a farm until 1955, at which time the town sold of the agricultural equipment of the farm, and leased the agricultural land to local farmers. In 1974 the facility was formally named the "Town Lodging House". The town resisted an effort to bring the facility under state control in 1986; it remains the only facility of its type under local control in the state.

Hexenhaus von Salem

Das Hexenhaus von Salem ist ein historisches Gebäude in Salem (Massachusetts). Es ist als früheres Heim des Richters Jonathan Corwin das einzig erhaltene Gebäude mit Beziehungen zu den Hexenprozessen von Salem. Das Hexenhaus gehört zum Chestnut Street District, der als Historic District anerkannt und im National Register of Historic Places verzeichnet ist. Geschichte Das Hexenhaus wurde 300 Schritte entfernt von einer auf einem alten Indianerpfad der Naumkeag liegenden Wasserquelle erbaut. Auf dem zentralen Platz der Siedlung Salem wurde später zur Nutzung eine Pumpe aufgesetzt, von der Nathaniel Hawthorne berichtet. Das Haus hat eine für das 17. Jahrhundert typische Architektur. Jonathan Corwin kaufte das Haus 1675. Über das genaue Alter gibt es seit den 1830er Jahren verschiedene Annahmen. Als gesichert gilt, dass das Haus schon längere Zeit vor dem Erwerb durch Corwin gestanden hat. Die Nachfahren Corwins nannten das Jahr 1642 als Zeitpunkt der Fertigstellung, ohne dafür Beweise vorlegen zu können. Historiker aus der Viktorianischen Zeit wie W.C. Upham gingen von einer noch früheren Errichtung in den 1620er und 1630er Jahren aus und dass es als Heim für Roger Williams, den späteren Gründer von Providence, diente. Heutige Historiker gehen von einem Bau in den 1660er oder 1670er Jahren aus. Gesichert ist, dass 1675 die Familie Corwin das Haus von den Davenports aufkaufte und Umbaumaßnahmen, unter anderem eine Unterkellerung und zusätzliche Kamine, durchführen ließ. Bis dahin hatte es über zwei Etagen mit je zwei Zimmern verfügt. Unklar ist zudem, wie viele Giebel das Hexenhaus ursprünglich besessen hat. Ein drohender Abriss konnte 1944 verhindert werden. Seit 1948 besteht das Museum im Hexenhaus. Am 28. August 1973 wurde der Chestnut District inklusive des Hexenhauses als Contributing Property in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Das Museum im Hexenhaus wird jährlich von ca. 20 000 Besuchern frequentiert. Literatur John Goff: Salem's Witch House. A touchstone to Antiquity.

Maison de la sorcière (Salem)

La maison de Jonathan Corwin, plus connue comme la maison de la sorcière, est un musée d'histoire occupant le n°310 Essex Street à Salem (Massachusetts). Probablement construite entre 1620 et 1642, elle était le domicile du juge Jonathan Corwin (1640–1718), et reste l'unique structure contemporaine du procès des sorcières de Salem (1692). Corwin racheta la maison en 1675 (il avait alors 35 ans), et y résida plus de 40 ans ; cette demeure est restée dans la famille Corwin jusqu'au milieu du XIXe siècle. Histoire Corwin est un greffier qui avait été chargé d'enquêter sur les plaintes pour satanisme lorsqu'une pluie d'accusations se déchaîna à Salem Village (l'actuelle Danvers) et alentour. Il remplaçait le juge Nathaniel Saltonstall, démissionnaire après l'exécution de Bridget Bishop. Corwin officia à la cour du comté, qui envoya 19 personnes à la potence. Avec son toit à double pente, son bardage de planches et ses carreaux cloisonnés au plomb, cette maison offre un excellent exemple d’architecture coloniale de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, bien que les historiens hésitent sur sa date de construction. Une tradition dans la famille Corwin affirme qu'elle daterait de 1642, plusieurs chercheurs estiment qu'elle a été construite entre 1620 et 1640 et que Roger Williams l'aurait habitée avant de fonder la colonie de Providence. Dans les années 1940, pour élargir la rue, il a fallu la reconstruire à 10,70 m de son emplacement d'origine. Elle a été remaniée pour lui restituer son aspect du XVIIe siècle, à ceci près que le toit n'est plus en mansarde, mais affecte la brisure de pente caractéristique des maisons de Nouvelle Angleterre. C'est aujourd'hui un écomusée administré par la Ville de Salem, ouvert uniquement une partie de l'année. À l'écran En 2011, l'équipe de tournage de Ghost Adventures y a tourné la saison 4.

Theodore Baird Residence

The Theodore Baird Residence, also known as Baird House, is a suburban house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and located at 38 Shays Street in Amherst, Massachusetts, United States. It is the only Wright design in Massachusetts. The Usonian house was planned and built in 1940 for Amherst College English professor Theodore Baird. The Bairds became interested in Wright's work after reading his autobiography, and submitted a commission to him. Wright produced drawings based on the Baird's description of their lifestyle and a description of the lot. They were unable to locate contractors in the area who were able to do the work, so the construction work was done by Wright protégé William Wesley Peters. Part of the construction work was done at a factory in New Jersey, and moved to Amherst for final assembly. The house was the only Usonian for which the materials were prefabricated before being brought to the site. It is a single-family house with brick, cypress wood and glass façades and a flat roof highly cantilevered over a carport. Heating is conveyed by pipes distributing hot water through the concrete floor. There are also three fireplaces, one in the master bedroom and another with a single chimney and two grates which is divided by a partition wall separating the living room and study. The building includes an in-law apartment for Baird's mother, which is located at the opposite end of the house from the Bairds' quarters. Wright's design also included a dedicated space for the Bairds' dog, including a dog run and doghouse. The house is set back about 250 feet (76 m) from the road. The property, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, also includes a 4-acre (1.6 ha) woodlot that extends behind the house and neighboring properties on Shays Street.

Thomas Aspinwall Davis House

The Thomas Aspinwall Davis House is a historic house at 29 Linden Place in Brookline, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1844, by Thomas Aspinwall Davis, later a mayor of Boston, and is one of the earliest buildings to survive from his Linden Park project, the first residential subdivision in Brookline. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Description and history The Thomas Aspinwall Davis House stands in Brookline's Linden Park residential neighborhood, east of Brookline Village, on the south side of Linden Place nearly opposite Linden Square. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The house is predominantly Italianate in style, with three bays across, hooded front windows, and a cupola. The central front gable is decorated with Gothic bargeboard, and the building supposedly had a more ornately decorated porch before its move in 1903. The Davis family had for a long time been landowners in this area of Brookline. In 1843, Thomas Aspinwall Davis took the area surrounding what is now Linden Park and Linden Square, and worked with landscape designer Alexander Wadsworth to lay out the two small parks and house lots. The house lots, auctioned in 1843 and 1844, became Brookline's first residential subdivision. Davis built this house in 1843, originally facing Linden Park. It was moved in 1903 to its present orientation facing Linden Place. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Brookline, Massachusetts References
Thomas Ayer House

The Thomas Ayer House is a historic house at 8 Grove Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1864, it is a conservative but detailed example of early Italianate architecture. It was built for a prominent local businessman and politician. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Description and history The Thomas Ayer House stands in a residential area of southeastern Winchester, on the east side of Grove Street, a feeder road through the neighborhood. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. It has pilastered corner boards, bracketed eaves, and tall windows with projecting sills and lintels. The main facade is five bays wide, with the entrance at the center, sheltered by a portico. The front portico has simple round columns supporting a roof with a low balcony, while the entry is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and is topped by a fanlight window. The house was built about 1864 by Thomas Ayer, a local businessman and politician. It was built at a time when Winchester was just beginning to undergo a transition from an agricultural to a residential suburban area. Ayer was prominent in civic affairs, raising funds and materials for the American Civil War effort, and serving on various town committees. He served for two years on the board of selectmen, and served one term in the state legislature. Ayer's brother Albert, also prominent in local affairs, lived in a house that was originally adjacent to this one on Brooks Street, but has since been separated from it by infill construction.
