La John Adams Birthplace est une maison à Quincy, au Massachusetts, dans le nord-est des États-Unis. Maison natale de John Adams, elle est protégée au sein de l'Adams National Historical Park. Classée National Historic Landmark depuis le 19 décembre 1960, elle est inscrite au Registre national des lieux historiques depui Description et histoire ancienne La maison, une structure à ossature de bois de 2+1⁄2 étages gainée de panneaux de bois, est une maison classique de la Nouvelle-Angleterre avec deux chambres inférieures et deux supérieures construites autour d'une cheminée centrale massive. De nombreuses modifications ont été apportées au fil des ans, y compris la construction d'un appentis au XVIIIe siècle qui a ajouté deux chambres en bas et deux petites chambres supérieures. La façade principale est de trois baies de large avec l'entrée au centre. La porte est encadrée par des pilastres et surmontée d'un fronton enlacé et triangulaire.[3] Le terrain sur lequel se trouve la maison a d'abord appartenu à William Needham, qui a construit une maison sur la propriété c. 1681. Le président John Adams fait référence au fait que son père a construit la maison dans une lettre à Benjamin Rush du 19 juillet 1812. Le cadrage du côté est intègre un certain nombre de bois réutilisés datant des années 1670."[4] Jean, le fils aîné du diacre Jean, est né dans la salle Est le 30 octobre (Octobre 19 O.S.), 1735.[3] Histoire ultérieure À la mort du diacre en 1761, la maison est passée à son deuxième fils, Peter; l'aîné John a reçu la maison voisine, où John Quincy Adams est né de John et Abigail Adams en 1767. Peter a vécu dans la maison avec sa mère jusqu'en 1768, quand il s'est marié. En 1774, il vendit la maison à son frère John, qui la loua après la mort de leur mère en 1780. En 1803, Jean vendit les deux maisons à son fils, qui habitait la maison de sa naissance, et loua celle-ci. La maison a été occupée de 1810 à 1818 par le fils de John Quincy Adams, Thomas Boylston Adams.[3] Les deux maisons sont restées dans la propriété de la famille Adams, et ont été louées jusqu'en 1885, lorsque la plupart des terres agricoles environnantes ont été vendues. Après avoir été vacant, Charles Francis Adams Jr. a autorisé le chapitre local des Filles de la Révolution américaine à utiliser la maison comme espace de réunion. Ce qu'ils ont fait jusqu'à ce que le chapitre se soit plié en 1950. Les Adams ont vendu la maison à la ville de Quincy en 1940, qui a transféré l'administration de la propriété à la Quincy Historical Society (qui avait précédemment repris la maison adjacente) en 1950.[3] Les deux maisons font maintenant partie du Adams National Historical Park et sont administrées par le National Park Service. Ils sont ouverts aux visites guidées.

Дом рождения Джона Адамса

Дом рождения Джона Адамса (англ. John Adams Birthplace) — дом-музей, в котором родился 2-й президент США Джон Адамс, расположенный в городе Куинси, штат Массачусетс. Дом представляет собой 2-этажную деревянную каркасную конструкцию, обшитую деревянными досками. На каждом из двух этажей есть две основные комнаты, по одной с каждой стороны центрального дымохода, и ещё две комнаты в пристройке на первом этаже. Главный фасад дома имеет ширину в три пролёта с входом в центре. Дверной проём обрамлен пилястрами и увенчан антаблементом и треугольным фронтоном. История Земля, на которой стоит дом, первоначально принадлежала Уильяму Нидхэму, который построил дом на участке в 1650 году. Согласно дендрохронологическому анализу, передняя часть (настоящего) дома была построена в 1722 году или вскоре после этого дьяконом Джоном Адамсом. Президент Джон Адамс ссылается на тот факт, что его отец построил этот дом в письме доктору Бенджамину Рашу от 19 июля 1812 года. Обрамление восточной стороны включает в себя несколько повторно использованных бревен, датируемых 1670-ми годами. Старший сын Адамса-старшего, Джон, был рождён в восточной комнате дома 30 октября (19 октября по юлианскому календарю) 1735 года. После смерти Адамса-старшего в 1761 году дом перешёл в собственность к его второму сыну Питеру, в то время как Адамс-младший приобрёл дом по соседству, где в 1767 году у Джона и Эбигейл Адамс родился Джон Куинси Адамс. Питер жил в этом доме со своей матерью до 1768 года, когда он женился. В 1774 году он продал дом своему брату Джону, который сдал его в аренду после смерти их матери в 1780 году. В 1803 году Джон продал оба дома своему сыну, который жил в доме, в котором он родился, и сдал его в аренду. Дом был занят с 1810 по 1818 год сыном Джона Куинси, Томасом Бойлстоном Адамсом. Оба дома оставались в собственности семьи Адамсов и сдавались в аренду до 1885 года, когда была продана большая часть окружающих сельскохозяйственных угодий. После того, как место освободилось, Чарльз Фрэнсис Адамс-младший разрешил местному отделению организации «Дочери американской революции» использовать дом в качестве места для встреч. Так было до тех пор, пока отделение не закрылось в 1950 году. Адамсы продали дом городу Куинси в 1940 году, который передал управление имуществом Историческому обществу Куинси (которое ранее взяло под свой контроль соседний дом) в 1950 году. 19 декабря 1960 года дом был объявлен национальным историческим памятником США. В 1966 году дом был добавлен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Два дома Адамсов в настоящее являются частью Национального исторического парка Адамса, управляются Службой национальных парков и открыты для экскурсий.

John Balch House

Das John Balch House, alternativ auch kurz als Balch House bezeichnet, ist ein um 1679 errichtetes Gebäude im Stil der First Period in Beverly, Massachusetts. Es gilt als eines der ältesten noch existierenden Holzskelett-Fachwerkhäuser in Nordamerika. Seit Februar 1973 ist es im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Die Beverly Historical Society betreibt heute im John Balch House ein Museum. Geschichte John Balch siedelte mit seiner Frau im Jahr 1623 von Somerset, England in die Vereinigten Staaten über. Sie waren die ersten Angehörigen der Familie Balch in der „Neuen Welt“. Die Siedler kamen mit der Dorchester Company nach Amerika, um sich in Neuengland niederzulassen und Fischfang zu betreiben. Das Unternehmen scheiterte und die meisten Siedler kehrten bis 1626 nach England zurück. Balch und einige andere, unter ihnen Roger Conant, der als Gründer der Stadt Salem gilt, blieben in Amerika und ließen sich in Massachusetts nieder. Die verbliebenen Siedler gingen als Old Planters in die Geschichte Neuenglands ein. Im Rahmen des Thousand Acre Grant erwarb John Balch 1935 das Land, auf dem sich heute das Haus befindet. Historischen Aufzeichnungen zufolge erbaute er 1636 das heutige John Balch House, das in den folgenden Jahrzehnten mehrfach um- und ausgebaut wurde. Dieser Ansicht waren bis in die 2000er Jahre die meisten Historiker und auch die Beverly Historical Society, das Haus galt daher als das älteste noch existierende Fachwerkhaus der Vereinigten Staaten. In einer im Jahr 2006 in Oxford in Auftrag gegebenen dendrochronologischen Untersuchung wurde jedoch nachgewiesen, dass das verwendete Holz erst um 1679 geschlagen wurde, das offizielle Baujahr des Hauses wurde daraufhin entsprechend angepasst. Weiterhin sind die Historiker allerdings der Auffassung, dass John Balch ein Haus am heutigen Standort errichtet hatte, das heutige Gebäude jedoch den Berechnungen zufolge an der Stelle des ersten Hauses von seinem Sohn oder seinem Enkel erbaut wurde. Die dendrochronologische Untersuchung ergab außerdem, dass der südliche Teil des Hauses im Jahr 1721 angebaut wurde. Das älteste ermittelte Stück Holz stammt aus dem Jahr 1660. Das Gebäude blieb bis 1916 der Wohnsitz der Familie Balch. Die Society for the Preservation of New England Antiques gründete danach den „Balch House Trust“, um das Haus zu kaufen und vor dem Verfall zu bewahren. Schließlich gelangte das John Balch House 1932 in den Besitz der Beverly Historical Society, die sich seitdem um den Erhalt kümmert.

John Balch House

The John Balch House, located at 448 Cabot Street, Beverly, Massachusetts, is one of the oldest wood-frame houses in the United States. It is now operated as one of the historic house museums of Historic Beverly, and open seasonally. History John Balch gained title to the land on November 11, 1635, through the "Thousand Acre Grant" and apparently was living on this property by 1636. This was the date assigned to the house by the Beverly Historic Society. Architectural historians, including Abbott Lowell Cummings, the leading expert on early New England architecture, were only sure that the Balch House was a seventeenth-century house. In 2006, dendrochronological analysis dated the earliest portion (the right-hand side) to 1679. The southern portion of the house was built in 1721. The house remained within the Balch family until 1916, though with periods of tenant rental. It was then acquired by the Balch Family Association. They hired Norman Isham, a popular preservation architect, to evaluate the house. After finding original rafters in the attic, he recommended that the back lean-to be ripped off and the southern half of the house be dismantled. This plan was eventually modified to expose and recreate the roofline of the original story and a half structure. Thus today's house has been heavily shaped by intentional restoration. In 1932, the home was turned over to the Beverly Historical Society (now Historic Beverly), which maintains and operates it today.

John Cabot House

The John Cabot House is a historic house at 117 Cabot Street in downtown Beverly, Massachusetts. Built in 1781 by a prominent local businessman and ship owner, it was the town's first brick mansion house. It is now owned by Historic Beverly and open to the public five days a week. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Description The John Cabot House is located in Beverly's downtown business district, on the east side of Cabot Street (its major thoroughfare) between Central Street and Franklin Place. It is a three-story timber-framed structure, its exterior clad in red brick and capped by a truncated hip roof. The main facade is five bays wide, with windows set in rectangular openings with splayed soldier brick headers. Projecting brick courses separate the floors, and the third-floor windows are smaller in height, and butt against the elaborate dentillated roof cornice. The main entrance projects slightly in a surround that includes sidelight windows, pilasters, and a corniced entablature. The interior has a typical central stair plan, and retains most of its original woodwork, which is in a heavy late Georgian style. History The house was built in 1781, and was the first brick mansion in Beverly. It was built for shipowner and privateer Capt. John Cabot (b. 1745 in Salem to Joseph Cabot and Elizabeth Higginson). Cabot was prominent in the town's economy, having also cofounded the Beverly Cotton Manufactory, America's first cotton mill. In 1802, the house became the first office of the Beverly Bank, the tenth oldest bank in America, with Capt. John Cabot serving as one of seven original directors. At that time, it was extended to the rear by a two-story wood-frame addition. In addition to period rooms, the John Cabot House features maritime, military, and children's exhibits as well as major changing exhibits. Historic Beverly's research facilities are also located here.

John Hale House

The John Hale House (c. 1694), also known as the Rev. John Hale Farm, is a historic Colonial house located at 39 Hale Street, Beverly, Massachusetts. The house is now operated as a nonprofit museum by Historic Beverly, with period furnishings and a room containing witchcraft-related artifacts. This house was built in 1694, possibly with structural members from an earlier parsonage, by Beverly's first minister, Rev. John Hale (1636–1700). Hale is now best remembered for playing a significant part in the infamous Salem witch trials in 1692. He had been at the forefront of the prosecutions but underwent a change of heart when his second wife Sarah Noyes Hale was accused of witchcraft. She was not convicted, and shortly thereafter the trials concluded. After his wife's death in 1697, Rev. Hale wrote a book entitled A Modest Inquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft, condemning his colleagues who played leading roles in the trials. Rev. Hale lived in this house until his death on May 15, 1700. Generations of descendants succeeded him in the house, until in 1937 they finally sold it to the Beverly Historical Society & Museum. Over the years the house was much altered from its original state. Additions include a 1745 gambrel-roofed ell facing Hale Street that now contains the main entrance. Descendants of Reverend Hale still remain in Beverly. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Essex County, Massachusetts References External links Rev.
