Temple Israel Cemetery (Wakefield, Massachusetts)

Temple Israel Cemetery is a historic Jewish cemetery on North Avenue in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The cemetery was established by the Temple Israel congregation of Boston in 1859. Unlike the adjacent Lakeside Cemetery, whose landscape is of winding paths, this cemetery is laid out in a rectilinear grid. Stones are somewhat uniform in their content, often listing places of birth and death. Markers placed early in the cemetery's history are predominantly marble, while many of those placed in the 20th century are granite or limestone. The cemetery's most notable burial is that of Rabbi Joshua Liebman. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Thacher Island National Wildlife Refuge

Thacher Island National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge located on Thacher Island near Rockport, Massachusetts. It is managed under the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service currently does not offer any interpretive facilities or programs at Thacher Island Refuge. A foot trail meanders through shrub/thicket, rocky outcrop and other island habitats and affords opportunities to observe and/or photograph birds and other island and offshore wildlife. The refuge has a surface area of 22 acres (0.089 km2). Wildlife & Habitat Thacher Island is home to herring and great black-backed gulls. The refuge serves as a stopover site for songbirds and other migrants to rest and feed during their seasonal migration. Off-shore habitats are used by seals, waterfowl, loons, grebes, cormorants, and alcids. Historically, the island served as nesting grounds for several species of terns, but over the years it has been overrun by the gulls. Still, Thacher Island has the potential to be re-established as a prime nesting area. The habitat remains ideal for tern breeding. Nesting terns are currently supported on islands strategically located to the north and south of the Thacher Island, and could be attracted to re-establish nesting colonies on the island.

Thacher Montessori School

Thacher Montessori School is an independent day school located in Milton, Massachusetts for toddlers through 8th graders. Thacher Montessori is accredited by the Association of Independent Schools of New England. History Thacher Montessori School was founded in 1971 in a single classroom by Maureen Coughlan. Her vision for a school dedicated to true Montessori principles resulted in steady growth. With support from her diverse and committed community of families and a growing student population, Thacher moved into its current home at 1425 Blue Hill Avenue in 1989. The building was designed to be a Montessori learning environment with easy access to the outdoors, plenty of natural light and a floor plan well-suited for children. In spring 2008, Thacher began construction to add a second floor to the building. This project was completed in fall 2008. In 2008, Thacher attained a classic Montessori structure of four Children's House, three Lower Elementary, two Upper Elementary and one Adolescent Program classrooms. A toddler program was also added. External links Thacher Montessori School web site Thacher Montessori School on Niche.com
Thaddeus Jackson House

The Thaddeus Jackson House is a historic house at 15 Alberta Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1820, it is one of Brookline's older surviving houses, unusual because it was built in the Georgian style, then already out of fashion. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985. Description and history The Jackson House is set on the north side of Alberta Road, in an area now completely surrounded by residential development in southern Brookline. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with clapboard siding and a side-gable roof. A leanto section (probably original) extends to the rear, giving the house a colonial New England saltbox profile. Other features more typical of 18th century construction that were repeated here include placement of the window tops near the eaves, and the simple center doorway surround. The house was built in 1820, and is one of Brookline's older surviving homes. Its styling is essentially late Georgian, unusual given its construction late in the Federal period. Thaddeus Jackson, the builder, was the son of Abraham Jackson, a local blacksmith. Thaddeus Jackson was also a successful blacksmith. He married Lydia Woodward, daughter of Caleb Woodward and Hannah Chever, on 14 October 1773 in Brookline's First Parish Church. They had nine children together, including Lydia Jackson Farwell, the founding mother of Ischua, New York. Jackson also served as a private in Capt. Thomas White's (Brookline) company of militia, Col. William Heath's regiment, in the Battles of Lexington and Concord that began the American Revolutionary War.

Thayer Public Library

The Thayer Public Library is a public library located in the town of Braintree, Massachusetts with 102,000 books, 200 periodical subscriptions, and 8,000 videos, DVDs, music CDs, and audiobooks. The library is a member of the Old Colony Library Network. About the library The library is named for General Sylvanus Thayer, who helped found it through a $30,000 bequest in his will. The original building was dedicated June 4, 1874, and opened to the public in September of the same year. It operated as a library until 1953, when it was replaced by a larger building across the street. The 1874 building was occupied by the Braintree Water Department for many years, but is currently vacant. This building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. In 1997, the 1953 library building was razed and replaced by the current three-story brick postmodern building that opened in 1999. Antitrust lawsuit participation In March 2008, the Thayer Public Library was notified that it was among several libraries in Massachusetts that would share in the 2002 settlement of an antitrust case that was brought against BMG, EMI Music, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment by the antitrust division of Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office, along with the Attorneys General of thirty-nine other states. The lawsuit was settled in 2002 for $144 million, and alleged that the music distribution companies illegally inflated the price of CDs by requiring retailers to sell them at or above a set level in order to qualify for substantial advertising funding.

Big E Coliseum

The Eastern States Coliseum, better known as the Big E Coliseum, is a 5,900-seat multi-purpose arena in West Springfield, Massachusetts. History Built as the Eastern States Coliseum in 1916, adding to the facilities for the annual Eastern States Exposition, the Big E Coliseum was the longtime home of the Springfield Indians professional hockey team in the American Hockey League, and later served as a part-time home to the New England Whalers hockey team while the team was in the World Hockey Association. Until the Springfield Civic Center opened in 1972, the Coliseum was the Springfield area's main indoor venue. From the 1940s through the 1970s, it hosted local showings of the Ice Capades and the Ice Follies. It was for many years the largest capacity rink in western Massachusetts, and was the home arena of several local high school hockey teams as well as a prominent venue for regional and state high school tournaments. In 1991, the ice plant was dismantled and hockey games are no longer played there. The arena continues as a venue for The Big E, and hosts Shriner circuses, equestrian shows and other local events. The Coliseum has often been the location for the draft horse World Championship Finals, serving as such in 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2009, and has been a venue for rodeos. Springfield Indians The first game played in the new arena was a Canadian–American Hockey League game on December 1, 1926. Boxing promoter Tex Rickard dropped the ceremonial first puck. The Springfield Indians lost to the Providence Reds 3–1. In 1933, the parent New York Rangers decided to pull the franchise out of Springfield, but the Indians were back in the Coliseum for the 1935–36 season when Lucien Garneau transferred his Quebec Castors club to Springfield. Indians' manager John Ducey also managed the Coliseum during the 1941 to 1943 seasons. When World War II broke out, the Indians had to be suspended for the duration of the war due to the Eastern States Exposition grounds being commandeered by the Quartermaster Corps of the United States Army for use as a depot. The Indians were back at the Coliseum for the 1946–47 season until 1972, when the team moved into the new Springfield Civic Center in downtown Springfield at the start of the 1972–73 season. WHA games The New England Whalers played seventeen total games in the Coliseum while waiting for the Hartford Civic Center to open. They played four postseason games of the 1974 WHA playoffs and thirteen regular season games of the 1974-75 season in total before moving to Hartford. References
Usen Castle

The Castle, also known as Usen Castle, is a historic building at 415 South Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The Medieval style structure, built in 1928 in the style of a Norman castle, stands on the campus of Brandeis University, where it served as a dormitory until 2017. The building, the design of which is unlike any other on the campus or in the city, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history Usen Castle is located atop Boston Rock, one of the highest points on the Brandeis campus. It consists of a series of six sections, connected to form an enclosed courtyard. Its exterior, apparently inspired by Lismore Castle in Ireland, features a wide variety of turrets, towers, crenellations, and pinnacles. A variety of unusual materials were used in its construction, including colored concrete and ceramic inlays. The interior retains Gothic features, giving the current student residential users a distinctive feel not found in other residences on the campus. The Castle was built in 1928 by Dr. John Hall Smith, founder of the Middlesex College of Medicine and Surgery, on whose campus it stood until the school closed in 1945. The campus and school charter were acquired by the founders of Brandeis. The building at first housed administrative offices as well as a dormitory and dining hall, but was converted to exclusively residential use in the 1950s. The building is one of two to survive on the campus from its Middlesex College days, and is a sharp contrast to the otherwise modern buildings there. In Summer 2017, after much of the building was condemned as unsafe by the city of Waltham, the University demolished Castle Towers C, D and E, and Schwartz Castle to make way for the new Skyline residence hall. Castle Towers A and B remained as student residences through the end of the 2016 fall semester.

Castillo Usen

El castillo Usen, también conocido como castillo de Usen, es un edificio histórico ubicado en 415 South Street, en Waltham (Massachusetts), Estados Unidos. La estructura de estilo medieval, construida al estilo de un castillo normando en 1928, se encuentra en el campus de la Universidad Brandeis, donde sirvió como dormitorio hasta 2017. El edificio, cuyo diseño es único en el campus o en el ciudad, fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1979.​ Historia El castillo Usen está ubicado en lo alto de Boston Rock, uno de los puntos más altos del campus de Brandeis. Consiste en una serie de seis secciones, conectadas para formar un patio cerrado. Su exterior, aparentemente inspirado en el castillo de Lismore en Irlanda, presenta una amplia variedad de torreones, torres, almenas y pináculos. Se utilizó una variedad de materiales inusuales en su construcción, incluido el concreto coloreado e incrustaciones de cerámica. El interior conserva las características góticas, lo que brinda a los usuarios residenciales estudiantiles actuales una sensación distintiva que no se encuentra en otras residencias del campus.​ El castillo fue construido en 1928 por el doctor John Hall Smith,​ fundador de la facultad de Medicina y Cirugía de la Universidad de Middlesex, en cuyo campus permaneció hasta que la escuela cerró en 1945. El campus y la escuela fueron adquiridos por los fundadores de Brandeis. Inicialmente el edificio albergaba oficinas administrativas, así como un dormitorio y un comedor, pero fue modificado para uso exclusivamente residencial en la década de 1950. Es una de las estructuras que aún permanece en el campus y presenta un marcado contraste con los edificios modernos ubicados dentro del recinto universitario.​ En el verano de 2017, después de que gran parte del edificio fuera declarado inseguro por la ciudad de Waltham, la Universidad demolió las torres del castillo C, D y E, y el castillo Schwartz para dar paso a la nueva residencia Skyline. Las torres del castillo A y B permanecieron como residencias de estudiantes hasta el final del semestre de otoño de 2016.​ Referencias Enlaces externos
