Andrew–Safford House

Owned by the Peabody Essex Museum, the Andrew–Safford House (13 Washington Square). Built in 1819 and was designed in the Federal style by an unknown architect for a wealthy Russian fur merchant. It is reputed to have been the most costly house erected in New England at the time. The massive vertical façade and the four large columns rising from the ground to the third story on the south side make this one of the most impressive houses in Salem. The house is a contributing property to the Essex Institute Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Ann's Diner

Ann's Diner (now known as Pat's Diner) is a historic diner at 11 Bridge Road (US Route 1) in Salisbury, Massachusetts, United States. The diner was built in 1950 as #824 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company, as a custom job for James and Ann Evans. They had opened their first diner in Haverhill, also called Ann's Diner, in 1948, and moved it to the present site later that year. The business was successful enough that they ordered the present diner as a replacement. It was specifically designed to accommodate a separate dining room, and was opened in April 1950. The Evanses owned the business until 1960, after which it went through a succession of owners. From 1976 to 1987 it was owned by Norman Brockelbank and known as Norm's Place. The diner was closed between 1997 and 1999. In 1999 it was acquired by Pat Archambault, who restored it and reopened it as Pat's Diner. The diner is a classic barrel-roof diner, nine window bays long and three deep. The original entrances to the diner were at its ends, but the left one has been repurposed as a site for heating and ventilation equipment. The right side door retains its original steel door with sunburst motif, and the middle bay window on the front facade has been replaced by an entrance that projects from the diner's body. The barrel roof is covered by a rubber membrane, and extends to porches that covered the entrances at the ends. Behind the diner body is a wood frame single story structure, which houses the kitchen and restrooms. Unlike many New England diners, this structure has a gable roof. The diner's interior is unusual for its custom configuration. The right six bays have a typical interior setup, with four booths and fourteen counter stools, while the left three bays have a dining room arrangement. This area is separated from the counter area by a pocket door, and has six booths, three each lining the front and back walls. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 2003. The diner closed in 2021 and was sold.

Annisquam Harbor Light

Annisquam Harbor Light Station is a historic lighthouse located on Wigwam Point in the Annisquam neighborhood of Gloucester, Massachusetts. It can be viewed from nearby Wingaersheek Beach, Gloucester. It lies on the Annisquam River and is one of the four oldest lighthouses surrounding the Gloucester peninsula, along with Eastern Point Light, Ten Pound Island Light, and Thacher Island Light. History The first light station, a 40-foot (12 m) wooden tower, was established in 1801 after Congress allocated $2000 in April for its completion. The original building was 32 feet (9.8 m) tall, made of wood with a light resting 40 feet above the water. The building fell into disrepair and, in 1851, was replaced by an octagonal wooden tower of the same height. The original lighthouse keeper's house was repaired and, with alterations, has remained to this day; its floor plan resembles those at Race Point Light and Straitsmouth Island Light. It is a two-story, gabled roofed, wood-framed building. In 1869, a covered walkway was built between the house and the tower. In 1897, the current brick lighthouse was built on the same foundation as the previous two constructions. Some time after 1900, the covered walkway, added in 1867, to the keeper's house was replaced by an uncovered wooden footbridge. In 1931, a foghorn was installed, but until 1949, it was used only from October 15 to May 15 to spare summer residents the noise., but was activated in the summer of 1949 only during day hours. The lighthouse's fourth-order Fresnel lens and foghorn were automated in 1974, and became occupied by the Coast Guard. The fog signal was initially removed by the Coast Guard, but after complaints from fishermen and local boaters, it was reactivated and eventually automated as well. In August 2000 Matty Nally and his crew completed the replacement of 3,000 bricks in efforts of restoration. The interior of the lighthouse is equipped with a circular cast-iron staircase that leads to the top. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and is one of the oldest lighthouses in Massachusetts. The original wooden keeper's house from 1801 is still used as a housing for United States Coast Guard personnel who manage the site. In 2000, a major restoration of the tower was conducted by the Coast Guard. In 2008, the building appeared, supposedly as a lighthouse in Maine, in the film remake The Women (starring Meg Ryan).

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England

The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England is a historic Greek Orthodox church in Boston, Massachusetts that was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England in 1988. The congregation was established in Boston's South End with a church built for worship on Winchester Street by 1906. As attendance grew and Boston was designated as a diocese for the Greek Orthodox Church in 1923, the Hellenic Association of New England (as the congregation was legally known by), sought out space for a new cathedral to be the seat for its bishop and allow for space for continued growth. The corner of Ruggles Street and Parker Street in Roxbury was selected and the new church was built by 1923. The Classical Revival building was designed by Hachadoor Demoorjian; design work of its interior included consultation with architect Ralph Adams Cram. The cathedral has been the seat of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston since the establishment of the Boston Diocese in 1923, and served as the headquarters of the metropolis until c. 1973, when its residence was moved to 162 Goddard Avenue, Brookline, Massachusetts.

Anthony Massad Three-Decker

The Anthony Massad Three-Decker is a historic triple-decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built about 1912, it was cited as a good local example of Colonial Revival styling when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Many details, including Tuscan columns on the porch and modillion blocks in the eaves, have been lost or obscured by subsequent exterior changes (see photo). Description and history The Anthony Massad Three-Decker is located in Worcester's northeastern Brittan Square area, on the north side of Harlow Street. It is a three-story wood frame structure, covered by a hip roof and finished in modern siding. Its front facade is asymmetrical, with a stack of three porches on the left side and a polygonal window bay on the right side. The porches are supported by square posts finished with siding.

The house was built about 1912, when the Brittan Square/Lincoln Street area was growing as a fashionable streetcar suburb. Early residents of the area were typically employed in either blue or white-collar skilled jobs downtown. Anthony Massad, this building's first owner, was the proprietor of the Exchange Hotel. Early tenants included a railroad brakeman and a police officer. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in eastern Worcester, Massachusetts References
Boston Athenæum

Il Boston Athenæum è una biblioteca di Boston, tra le più longeve degli Stati Uniti d'America. Storia Dopo essersi costituita nel 1805, la Anthology Society fondò il Boston Athenæum due anni più tardi con l'intento di dare vita a una rivista che prendeva il nome di Monthly Anthology, e a "un'istituzione simile a quella del Liceo e Ateneo a Liverpool, nel Regno Unito, che permette al pubblico di usufruire di una biblioteca, e conserva importanti volumi in materia di istruzione e scienza in tutte le lingue." Originariamente una sala di lettura, la sede della biblioteca venne trasferita a Beacon Street, e divenne sempre più grande fino a raggiungere le sue attuali dimensioni nel 1849. Nel 1827 il Boston Athenæum aprì una sezione dedicata alle opere d'arte, e iniziò a tenere delle rassegne dedicate all'arte statunitense ed europea. Durante la metà dell'Ottocento il Boston Athenæum divenne una delle più grandi biblioteche degli Stati Uniti. Nel 1965 l'istituzione venne eletta National Historic Landmark. Nel 1980, dopo una serie di accordi, il Museum of Fine Arts e la National Portrait Gallery di Washington acquistarono congiuntamente dall'Athenæum due celebri ritratti incompiuti di George e Martha Washington, che avrebbero poi trascorso tre anni alternati in ciascuna istituzione.

Arlington Catholic High School

Arlington Catholic High School (ACHS) is a coeducational Catholic high school in Arlington, Massachusetts. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston and serves grades 9-12. History The members of St. Agnes Parish, a Catholic church in Arlington, established the school in 1960. Monsignor Oscar O'Gorman headed the school's development. Initially the school had 9th grade students. The rear of the school building includes a portion of the Russell School, a Victorian-style school building first built in 1873. In 1956 Russell School closed due to the opening of nearby Francis E. Thompson Elementary School, and the first and second floors of the building were built into the Arlington Catholic facility. Arlington Catholic's first class graduated in 1964. Student body As of 2017 the school has about 650 students, including American students and students who were citizens of eight other countries. Students reside in over 47 communities in the area. Over 50 churches within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston had members who were students. Allegations of sexual abuse Allegations of sexual abuse and a cover-up led to a lawsuit in 2023. It alleged that, between the years of 2011 and 2016, the man who was vice principal and later principal of the school sexually abused 3 students at the school. Local church leaders, including Boston Archbishop Sean Patrick O'Malley, were named as defendants in the lawsuit as well and were accused of being participants in the abuse cover-up. A similar lawsuit was filed in 2022, which detailed alleged abuse that occurred between 1999 and 2001. The principal was placed on administrative leave in 2016, pending the outcome of an investigation into an undisclosed incident. He did not return to the school. Separate allegations emerged in 2023—a teacher who had spent several years at the school and attained a position of power as head of the Mathematics program resigned due to "inappropriate conduct" with students. Athletics and student culture As of 2017 the school's athletic program has twenty-six sports which have varsity-level teams. In addition there are twenty-three activity programs and student clubs.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The family-owned lumber yard has been in business at this location since 1923. Description and history The Arlington Coal & Lumber Company building is located on the north side of Park Avenue on the east side of the village of Arlington Heights. It is a two-story wood frame building with a front gabled roof. Its exterior is clad mostly in wooden clapboards, with top portion of the front gable finished in vertical board siding. The front façade has four sash windows on the first floor, with the entrance between the two rightmost, framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and gabled pediment.

One group that used it was the Arlington Zouaves, a quasi-military marching society. The first floor has predominantly been used for commercial purposes, although the building did for a time house a branch of the local public library.

Arlington Gaslight Company

The Arlington Gaslight Company is an historic industrial complex in Arlington, Massachusetts. It is one of the town's few large-scale examples of industrial architecture, built for a local fuel company in 1914. The three-building facility presently houses the town's public works department with the Gas Light Company Building housing the town's Facilities Department. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Description and history The former Arlington Gas Company property consists of about 4.5 acres (1.8 ha) on the east side of Grove Street in central Arlington, and is bounded on the north by the former railroad right-of-way that now carries the Minuteman Bike Path. The largest surviving building, a power station occupying a significant portion of the back section of the property, is a prominent local example of Romanesque Revival architecture, with corbelled brick decoration on its cornices. Fronting on Grove Street are two smaller brick buildings, one originally serving as the gas company offices, and the other as a meter house. The site's previous industrial use was for the Welch and Griffith saw factory, the first in the United States. This complex burned down in 1913. The complex was built in 1914 to house the Arlington Gas Company, which manufactured fuel for home use. It originally included a large storage tank, on top of which was emblazoned "ARLINGTON" and an arrow pointing north; this was one of the earliest known aids to aerial navigation, and was torn down in 1975. The complex now serves as the town's public works yard with The Facilities Department, Building Department / ISD, and IT Department.
