Exchange Place (Boston)

Exchange Place is a modern skyscraper located at the block of 43–53 State Street or 1 Exchange Place, between Congress and Kilby Streets, in the Financial District of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1981–1985, it is Boston's 18th tallest building, standing 510 feet (155 m) tall and containing 40 floors. The glass tower portion rises out of a previous building, the 12-story Boston Stock Exchange, built in 1889–1891 and designed by Peabody and Stearns. The intent was to demolish the older building in order to construct the skyscraper, but preservationists succeeded in rescuing a portion of the Stock Exchange's facade. Brookfield Office Properties, which had previously purchased the building from Harold Theran in 2006, sold Exchange Place to UBS Realty Investors LLC in 2011. It is home to the Boston Consulting Group, advertising agency Hill Holliday, marketing agency Optaros, software company Acquia, Hachette Book Group, the Macquarie Group, The Blackstone Group, and AllianceBernstein. In June 2017, The Boston Globe moved into Exchange Place from its longtime headquarters on Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester, Boston. The original Exchange Building was designated a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission in 1980. The building is inter-connected by Metro-Boston's district heating system helping it also achieve LEED Platinum and Energy Star Certification for energy conservation. An Amalgamated Bank branch is at street level, with ATMs located at the intersection of Congress Street and State Street. Accessibility and transportation Close to the southwestern corner of the building near the junction of Congress Street with Exchange Place, the building sits directly atop the State Street MBTA station, featuring direct access to the Blue-Line Wonderland-bound platform and by extension the Orange Line. Bus connections At the main entrance on Congress Street a number of MBTA bus routes stop adjacent to the building and entrance to State street station. These include local routes to Charlestown, and North Station. 4: North Station–Tide Street (Northbound only) 92: Sullivan Square station–Downtown via Main Street 93: Sullivan Square station–Downtown via Bunker Hill Street See also List of tallest buildings in Boston References External links Official website Exchange Place at Emporis.com
Exeter Street Theatre

The Exeter Street Theatre is a Richardsonian Romanesque building at the corner of Exeter and Newbury Streets, in the Back Bay section of Boston, Massachusetts. It was built as the First Spiritual Temple, 1884–85, by architects Hartwell and Richardson. For seventy years, from 1914 to 1984, it operated as a movie house. It now houses the Kingsley Montessori School. History "Wealthy socialite Mrs. [Marcellus Ayer] (Hattie M. Ayer) and her friends" organized the conversion in 1914 of church into cinema; Clarence Blackall designed the renovation. It "could accommodate 900 patrons." Proprietors and overseers included Viola and Florence Berlin, and Neil St. John Raymond. The Working Union of Progressive Spiritualists continued to meet in the building's lower auditorium until 1974, when the congregation relocated to neighboring Brookline (and subsequently to Harwich, on Cape Cod), and they and/or Hattie Ayer sold the theater operation and building. After the theatre closed in 1984 amidst popular cultural anguish and bottom-line real-estate concerns, the building has been deployed for a variety of mostly commercial purposes. It was occupied by Conran's housewares retailer and Waterstones booksellers. By 1988 "the Exeter Street Theatre building [housed TGI] Friday's Restaurant and an office complex." Business consultants Idealab leased space in the building from 2000 to 2003. In 2005 it became the Kingsley Montessori School. One of the cinema's electric signs, scrapped in 1985, was acquired by collector Dave Waller. John Cheever's short story "The President of the Argentine" mentions the Exeter Street Theatre. Gregory Mcdonald's second book in the Fletch series Confess, Fletch (1976) mentions an Alec Guinness Saturday matinee double feature of The Lavender Hill Mob and The Man in the White Suit at the Exeter Street Theatre.

U.S. Post Office Lowell (1930)

Unter der Bezeichnung U.S. Post Office ist seit 1986 in der Stadt Lowell, Massachusetts, das jüngere von zwei ehemaligen Postämtern des United States Postal Service (bis 1971 United States Post Office Department) im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Es wurde 1996 vom Middlesex Community College (MCC) erworben und ist heute (2025) als F. Bradford Morse Federal Building bekannt. Es wird vom College als Bibliothek genutzt. Beschreibung Das 1930 eingeweihte Gebäude befindet sich auf einem rund 3500 Quadratmeter großen Grundstück an der Grenze zum Lowell Locks and Canals Historic District und misst im Grundriss ca. 42 m × 27 m. Das Gebäude hat ein Tragwerk aus Stahlträgern und -säulen sowie Betondecken. Die Fassade besteht an der Vorderseite und den beiden Seiten aus grauem, behauenem Granit, an der Rückseite aus gelbem Ziegelmauerwerk im Läuferverband. Das Gesims und die Balustrade bestehen aus grauer Terrakotta. Der neoklassizistische Stil des Gebäudes weist viele bemerkenswerte Details auf. Dazu gehören ein vollständiges Gesims, eine Balustrade und ein zentraler Portikus mit dorischen Säulen. Die Fenster im Erdgeschoss an der Vorder- und den Seitenfassaden sind mit Rundbögen und Schlusssteinen versehen. Die Fenster im rückwärtigen Erdgeschoss sowie alle Fenster im zweiten Stock sind rechteckig, während die Fenster im Zwischengeschoss und im dritten Stock quadratisch sind. Der Portikus enthält drei von Giebeln gekrönte Eingangstüren. Links und rechts am Fuße der Treppe zum Portikus steht je eine hohe Kupferlaterne. Jede besteht aus einem verzierten Sockel, einem hohen kannelierten Schaft und einer achteckigen Laterne an der Spitze. Historische Bedeutung Der Bau erfolgte im Rahmen der Works Progress Administration, eines Bauprogramms für öffentliche Gebäude während der Weltwirtschaftskrise, zu einer Zeit, als das Finanzministerium auch private Architekten beschäftigte. Das Bundesgebäude verkörpert die damalige Politik der Regierung in Bezug auf öffentliche Bauten, diese auf Langlebigkeit und bleibenden Charakter auszurichten. Die ursprüngliche Bausubstanz des Gebäudes ist intakt und in gutem Zustand, wodurch seine historische Integrität erhalten geblieben ist. Das Gebäude ist ein zentraler Blickpunkt im Bereich des Kearney Square und wird mit Ereignissen in Verbindung gebracht, die zur lokalen und staatlichen Geschichte beigetragen haben. Seine Architektur zeigt die Merkmale sorgfältiger Handwerkskunst, durchdachten Designs und stilistischer Qualität. 1929 wurde das Grundstück für 120.000 US-Dollar (heute ca. 2.198.000 Dollar bzw. 1.915.300 Euro) zum Bau eines Postamts gekauft. Der in Lowell geborene George Augustine Daidy war zu dieser Zeit Architekt bei der Public Buildings Administration und entwarf das Gebäude.

Fairbanks House (Massachusetts)

Das Fairbanks House in Dedham im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten ist das älteste noch existierende Holzfachwerkhaus in Nordamerika. Es wurde in den 1630er Jahren erbaut und ist heute als Museum zugänglich. 1960 wurde es als National Historic Landmark deklariert und 1966 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Architektur Das Haus befindet sich bis heute – und damit seit mehr als 300 Jahren – im Besitz der Familie und wurde kontinuierlich an die sich verändernden Bedürfnisse angepasst. Zu Beginn handelte es sich um ein einfaches, zweistöckiges Gebäude mit Giebeldach und zwei Räumen auf jeder Etage. Allein der zentral angeordnete Kamin nahm eine Fläche von 2,5 m × 3 m ein. Es folgten diverse Anbauten, die das Haus um neue Räume erweiterten. Es wird vermutet, dass einige Teile der Täfelung im Inneren des Hauses im Original aus den 1630er Jahren erhalten sind. 1964 brach ein außer Kontrolle geratenes Auto durch eine der Außenwände und beschädigte das Gebäude, 1967 nahm es nochmals Schaden durch Brandstiftung. In beiden Fällen wurden die Schäden möglichst originalgetreu behoben, jedoch gingen die bis dahin vorhandenen ursprünglichen Materialien verloren. Historische Bedeutung Das Jahr der Errichtung des ersten Gebäudebestandteils wird regelmäßig mit 1636 angegeben, jedoch besteht eine Unsicherheit von wenigen Jahren, da der aus Yorkshire stammende Johnathan Fairbanke, dessen Nachname im Laufe der Zeit zu „Fairbanks“ wurde und nach dem das Haus bis heute benannt ist, mit seiner Frau und sechs Kindern erst im September 1636 Dedham erreichte, nachdem er bereits drei Jahre in Boston gelebt hatte. Er betrieb erfolgreich Landwirtschaft und erwarb im Laufe der Zeit weitere Grundstücke. Mit dem Wachstum seines Unternehmens wuchs auch das Haus, um unter anderem auch seinen Arbeitern Wohnräume zu bieten. Seit 1903 befindet sich das Gebäude im Eigentum der Familienstiftung Fairbanks Family Association und ist für die Öffentlichkeit als Museum zugänglich.

Fairbanks House

La Fairbanks House à Dedham, dans le Massachusetts, est une maison historique construite en 1641, ce qui en fait la plus ancienne maison à ossature bois survivante en Amérique du Nord à avoir été vérifiée par des tests de dendrochronologie. Le colon puritain Jonathan Fairbanks a construit cette ferme pour son épouse Grace (Lee Smith) et leur famille. La maison a été occupée puis transmise à huit générations de la famille jusqu'au début du XXe siècle. Pendant plusieurs siècles, la partie originale a été élargie à mesure que les styles architecturaux ont évolué et que la famille a grandi. Aujourd'hui, la maison Fairbanks appartient à la Fairbanks Family in America, une organisation à but non lucratif basée sur ses membres, qui l'exploite en tant qu'Historic house museum. L'association familiale a préservé et étudié sa maison ancestrale et ses collections depuis plus de 90 ans. La maison a été déclarée National Historic Landmark en 1960 et est inscrite au registre national des lieux historiques.
