Russia Wharf

Russia Wharf is a high-rise building in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. The building rises 436 feet (133 m) and contains 32 floors. Construction began in 2006 and was finished in early 2011. It stands as the 31st-tallest building in Boston. As of 2009, developer Boston Properties began to refer to the building as Atlantic Wharf. Description The architectural firm that designed the building is Childs Bertman Tseckares Inc., of Boston. The civil engineer, also responsible for managing permitting (including Chapter 91 Licensing) was Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. of Watertown, Massachusetts. The mixed use project includes approximately 709,000 square feet (65,900 m2) of class-A commercial office space and 65 residential units. The site consists of approximately 2.2 acres (8,900 m2). From about 1897 to 2007, the site contained three low-rise mercantile buildings called the Russia, Graphic Arts, and Tufts Buildings. The office tower was constructed on the site of the Graphic Arts and Tufts Buildings. The project was controversial because of the historic nature of the buildings and their prominent position on the edge of Fort Point Channel. The result was that the "Russia Building" fronting on Atlantic Avenue was retained in its entirety and the south and east facing historic brick facades of the Graphic Arts and Tufts Buildings were retained and restored. The interiors of these two buildings were destroyed and a new tower was built, rising 341 feet (104 m) above the old facades. The building rises 32 stories above the street and extends six stories below. In the fall of 2009, the project created additional controversy when its developer, Boston Properties, was accused by The Boston Harbor Association of reneging on public space requirements which Boston Properties agreed to in exchange for being allowed to exceed height restrictions. The building opened in January 2011 and boasts multiple ground floor restaurants, an art gallery, multi-media center, channel concierges and is the new home of the Boston Society of Architects' BSA Space, all available to the public. This was the first LEED Platinum high-rise in Boston.

Russian Cemetery

The Russian Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Patten Road in Westford, Massachusetts. The cemetery was established in 1918 by the Russian Brotherhood, a social organization that served as a focal point for Belorussian immigrants who had been recruited by agents for the Abbot Worsted Company to work in its Westford mills. These primarily Russian Orthodox Christians were not allowed to have burials in some of the town's other cemeteries, prompting the creation of this one, which is distinctive in the town as the only cemetery catering to a specific ethnic group. It has approximately 300 burials, with a significant number of early burials marked with gravestones bearing Cyrillic lettering. The cemetery remains open to members of the local Russian-American community. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

Русское кладбище в Уэстфорде

Русское кладбище в Уэстфорде (англ. Russian Cemetery, также известно как Russian Brotherhood Cemetery или Russian Orthodox National Cemetery) — русское православное кладбище в США. Расположено на Patten Road в городе Уэстфорд, штат Массачусетс. Занимает площадь 1,33 акра (0,54 гектара). Кладбище было основано в 1918 году Русским братством — общественной организацией, которая была координационным центром для белорусских иммигрантов, которые были завербованы агентами компании Abbot Worsted для работы на её заводах в Уэстфорде. Русским православным христианам не разрешалось иметь захоронения на некоторых других городских кладбищах, что побудило их создать это уникальное место в городе как единственное кладбище, обслуживающее определённую этническую группу. В нём находится около 300 захоронений, причем значительное количество ранних захоронений отмечено надгробиями с надписью на кириллице. Кладбище остается открытым для захоронений представителей местной русско-американской общины. В 2005 году кладбище было внесено в Национальный реестр исторических мест США (# 05001324).

Ryles Jazz Club

Ryles Jazz Club was a jazz club located at 212 Hampshire Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Located in a former Italian restaurant, now painted black, it was the oldest jazz club in Cambridge and the second oldest in the Greater Boston area. It featured a mixture of blues, jazz, R&B, world beat, and Latin in two rooms on two different floors. In recent decades it became well-noted for its Latin and Brazilian jazz music, featuring Brazilian music on Wednesday nights and salsa and merengue on Thursdays. On Sundays it featured a "jazz brunch" between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and the Ryles Jazz Club Orchestra from 4-7 p.m. Although mostly featuring local Boston talent, the club featured notables such as Pat Metheny, Robben Ford, Grover Washington Jr., Olga Román, Arturo Sandoval, McCoy Tyner, Maynard Ferguson, Jon Hendricks, Jon Faddis, Néstor Torres, Mose Allison, Fernando Holz Band, and Berklee jazz pianist and professor Ray Santisi was a regular performer at the club. As of early 2018, Ryles has been put on the market, and had its last shows at the end of June 2018. The new landlord of the building owned a restaurant of its own in Inman Square and decided they would prefer a new tenant which did not compete for parking. References

Metropolitan Waterworks Museum

The Waterworks Museum is a museum in the Chestnut Hill Waterworks building, originally a high-service pumping station of the Boston Metropolitan Waterworks. It contains well-preserved mechanical engineering devices in a Richardsonian Romanesque building. During its busiest years, the waterworks pumped as much as a hundred million gallons of water each day. The station was decommissioned in the 1970s, and later some of its buildings were turned into condominiums. After a period of disuse, the pumping station was restored, and in 2007 the Waterworks Preservation Trust was set up to oversee its conversion into a museum. In March 2011, the building reopened to the public as the Waterworks Museum. History In the 1850s, Boston began modernizing its water supply, which at the time was a combination of wells, pond water, and downhill piping from a Natick reservoir. In the 1870s, Boston city leaders decided the city needed to scale up its water filtration and pumping, and began looking into options. In 1886, this 'high service' pumping station was designed, and the next year it came online as the Chestnut Hill pumping station - only a few years after the first such station in the world, in Germany. Water was pumped from this station uphill to the Fisher Hill reservoir, where gravity would then push the water to the surrounding area. In 1894, the station put its third water pump into operation: a steam-powered water pump designed by Erasmus Darwin Leavitt. The Leavitt-Riedler Pumping Engine, as it was later called, was promoted as "the most efficient pumping engine in the world" it was first unveiled, and remained in operation through 1928. In the 20th century it was declared a historic mechanical engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. It was fully restored by the museum and is the centerpiece of its main floor. Trivia Mark Wahlberg filmed part of his 1992 "You Gotta Believe" in the basement of the building. The building contains the stonework faces of its designer, Arthur H. Vinal, and his wife.

Museo Metropolitano de Waterworks

El Museo de Waterworks es un museo en el edificio Chestnut Hill Waterworks, originalmente una estación de bombeo del servicio Metropolitano Hidráulico de la ciudad de Boston.​ Contiene dispositivos de ingeniería mecánica bien conservados en un edificio Románico richardsoniano.​ Durante sus años de mayor actividad, la planta de agua bombeaba hasta trescientos ochenta mil metros cúbicos de agua por día.​ La estación fue clausurada en la década de 1970, y más tarde algunos de sus edificios se convirtieron en condominios.​ Después de un período de desuso, se restauró la estación de bombeo y en 2007 se creó el Waterworks Preservation Trust para supervisar su conversión en museo.​ En marzo de 2011, el edificio volvió a abrir al público como Museo de Obras Sanitarias.​ Historia En la década de 1850, Boston comenzó a modernizar su suministro de agua, que en ese momento era una combinación de pozos, agua de estanque y tuberías cuesta abajo de un depósito de Natick.​ En la década de 1870, los líderes de la ciudad de Boston decidieron que la ciudad necesitaba aumentar su filtración y bombeo de agua y comenzaron a buscar opciones. En 1886, se diseñó esta estación de bombeo de gran capacidad y al año siguiente entró en funcionamiento como la estación de bombeo de Chestnut Hill, solo unos años después de la primera estación de este tipo en el mundo, en Alemania. El agua se bombeaba desde esta estación cuesta arriba hasta el depósito de Fisher Hill, donde la gravedad empujaba el agua hacia el área circundante.​ En 1894, la estación puso en funcionamiento su tercera bomba de agua: una bomba de agua a vapor diseñada por Erasmus Darwin Leavitt.​ El motor de bombeo Leavitt-Riedler, como se le llamó más tarde, se promocionó como "el motor de bombeo más eficiente del mundo". Se presentó por primera vez y permaneció en funcionamiento hasta 1928. En el siglo XX fue declarado un hito histórico en ingeniería mecánica. por la Sociedad Americana de Ingenieros Mecánicos.​ Fue completamente restaurado por el museo y es la pieza central de su piso principal. Curiosidades Mark Wahlberg filmó parte de su "You Gotta Believe" de 1992 en el sótano del edificio.​ El edificio contiene los rostros en piedra de su diseñador, Arthur H.

Museo dell'acquedotto di Chestnut Hill

Il museo dell'acquedotto di Chestnut Hill (anche conosciuto come Waterworks Museum) è un museo ricavato da un edificio che in origine era una stazione di pompaggio ad alto servizio dell'acquedotto metropolitano di Boston. L'edificio, in stile romanico richardsoniano, contiene dispositivi di ingegneria meccanica ben conservati. L'acquedotto Negli anni di maggior utilizzo, l'acquedotto pompava fino a cento milioni di litri d'acqua ogni giorno. La stazione fu dismessa negli anni '70 e in seguito alcuni dei suoi edifici furono trasformati in condomini. Dopo un periodo di inattività, la stazione di pompaggio è stata restaurata e nel 2007 è stato istituito il Waterworks Preservation Trust per sovrintendere alla sua conversione in museo. Nel marzo 2011 l'edificio è stato riaperto al pubblico come museo dell'acquedotto. Storia A partire dal 1850, la città di Boston iniziò a modernizzare il suo approvvigionamento idrico, che all'epoca era una combinazione di pozzi, acqua di stagno e tubazioni a valle del bacino idrico di Natick. Nel 1870 le istituzioni della città di Boston decisero che la città aveva bisogno di aumentare la filtrazione e il pompaggio dell'acqua e iniziarono a esaminare le opzioni. Nel 1886 fu progettata la stazione di pompaggio "ad alto servizio" e l'anno successivo divenne operativa come stazione di pompaggio di Chestnut Hill, solo pochi anni dopo la prima stazione di questo tipo al mondo, in Germania. L'acqua veniva pompata da questa stazione in salita fino al bacino idrico di Fisher Hill, dove la gravità avrebbe poi spinto l'acqua nell'area circostante. Nel 1894 la stazione mise in funzione una terza pompa dell'acqua, alimentata a vapore e progettata da Erasmus Darwin Leavitt. Il motore di pompaggio Leavitt-Riedler, come fu successivamente chiamato, fu presentato come "il motore di pompaggio più efficiente del mondo" e rimase in funzione fino al 1928. Nel XX secolo venne dichiarato come un punto di riferimento storico dell'ingegneria meccanica dalla American Society of Mechanical Engineers. È stato completamente restaurato dal museo. Curiosità Mark Wahlberg ha filmato parte del suo film del 1992 "You Gotta Believe" nel seminterrato dell'edificio. L'edificio contiene i volti in pietra del suo progettista, Arthur H. Vinal, e di sua moglie.

Музей водопровідної мережі «Metropolitan»

Музей водопровідної мережі «Metropolitan» (англ. Metropolitan Waterworks Museum) — музей у будівлі водопровідної мережі Честнат-Гілл, спочатку бувши високоякісною насосною станцією Бостонського міського водопроводу. Музей має добре збережені механічні інженерні пристрої в будівлі в романському стилі Річардсона. У найнапруженіші роки станція перекачувала до ста мільйонів галонів води на день. У 1970-х роках станція була виведена з експлуатації, а пізніше деякі з її будівель були перетворені на кондомініуми. Після періоду невикористання насосну станцію було відреставровано, а у 2007 році було створено Фонд збереження водопровідних споруд для контролю за її перетворенням на музей. У березні 2011 року будинок знову відкрився для відвідувачів як Музей водопровідних споруд. Історія У 1850-х роках Бостон почав модернізувати своє водопостачання, яке в той час являло собою поєднання колодязів, води зі ставка і трубопроводу з водосховища в місті Натік, що спускається вниз. У 1870-х роках міська влада Бостона вирішила, що місту необхідно збільшити обсяги фільтрації та перекачування води, і почали вивчати варіанти. У 1886 році було розроблено проєкт насосної станції високого обслуговування, і наступного року вона була введена в експлуатацію як насосна станція Честнат-Гілл — лише через кілька років після першої у світі такої станції в Німеччині. Вода перекачувалась з цієї станції вгору схилом до водосховища Фішер Гілл, звідки під дією сили тяжіння вода надходила в навколишні райони. У 1894 році на станції був уведений в експлуатацію третій водяний насос, що працює на пару, розроблений Еразмом Дарвіном Лівіттом. Насосний двигун Лівітта-Рідлера, як його пізніше назвали, був названий «найефективнішим насосним двигуном у світі», коли його вперше представили, і залишався в експлуатації до 1928 року. У XX столітті Американське товариство інженерів-механіків оголосило його історичною пам'яткою машинобудування. Він був повністю відновлений музеєм та є центральним експонатом його головного поверху. Цікавинки Марк Волберг зняв частину свого фільму 1992 року «Ти маєш повірити» у підвалі будівлі. У будівлі є кам’яні обличчя дизайнера Артура Г. Вінала та його дружини.

Sabbath Day House (Billerica, Massachusetts)

The Sabbath Day House is an historic house located in Billerica, Massachusetts. The main block of the 1.5-story wood-frame house was built in the mid-1760s to provide a place for parishioners to warm themselves in between the morning and afternoon services at the adjacent Congregational Church. The house was in that time maintained by a caretaker, and came into private ownership in 1818, when it was no longer needed for its original purpose. On August 14, 1973, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middlesex County, Massachusetts References
Sacred Heart Schools (Kingston, Massachusetts)

Sacred Heart School is a private parochial school of Roman Catholic denomination in Kingston, Massachusetts. The school is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. The school is operated by the Sisters of Divine Providence and educated students in grades 7-12 since its establishment in 1947. It more recently developed into grades PreK-12, and is now made up of three schools, an elementary school, a pre-primary (kindergarten) school, and an intermediate school. Masses are held monthly and on special occasions in either the auditorium or in the chapel. The three schools, a summer camp, and the Provincial Residence are also located on the extensive campus. In the 2018-2019 school year the Catholic order spent $2.2 million to keep the high school open, but after that time no longer had the money to do so. In 2020 the school system announced that its high school division would close. During the Blizzard of 2026, a large accumulation (~20 inches) of heavy, wet snow fell in the Kingston area. The roof of the adjacent Student Activities Center, or SAC, collapsed under the weight of this snow, destroying the gymnasium and heavily damaging much of the building.
