Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light

The Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light is a historic lighthouse at 61½ Water St. near the Merrimack River in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was built in 1873 as one of a pair of range lights for guiding ships up the river to the city's harbor. History Range lights, or leading lights, are pairs of beacons used to guide ships and ensure safe passage. The beacons consist of two lights that are separated in distance and elevation, so that when they are aligned, with one above the other, they provide a bearing. The original range lights at Newburyport Harbor were maintained by private subscriptions. By 1872 Congress had appropriated funds to establish publicly maintained range lights after one of the previous pair was destroyed in a storm. The rear light is a brick tower, 53 feet (16 m) in height, located close to Water Street near the Merrimack River Coast Guard Station. The tower was traditionally painted white on the upper third of the river-facing side, with a thick white stripe down the rest of the facade. That side is now painted entirely white, while the other three sides are unpainted. The tower is topped by an eight-sided lens room, which is surrounded by an iron balcony and railing. When the range lights became active in 1873 local caretakers took responsibility for them. The job was later transferred to Plum Island lighthouse keepers. Decommissioning In 1961 the range lights were decommissioned and the rear light became private property. Today it is available to rent for events and offers a view of the river and city. The lighthouse, along with its mate, the Newburyport Harbor Front Range Light, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and included in the Newburyport Historic District in 1984.

Phare arrière de Newburyport

Le phare arrière de Newburyport (en anglais : Newburyport Harbor Rear Range Light) est un feu directionnel inactif situé au port de Newburyport dans le comté d'Essex (État du Massachusetts). Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 15 juin 1987. Histoire Il se situe près de la rivière Merrimack, à Newburyport, dans le Massachusetts. Il a été construit en 1873 pour faire partie d'une paire de feu directionnel permettant de guider les navires le long de la rivière jusqu'au port de la ville. Les feux d'alignement sont des paires de balises utilisées pour guider les navires et assurer leur passage en toute sécurité. Les balises sont composées de deux feux séparés en distance et en altitude, de sorte que, lorsqu'ils sont alignés, les uns au-dessus des autres, ils fournissent un relèvement. Les feux d’alignement d’origine du port de Newburyport étaient entretenus par des fonds privés. En 1872, le Congrès avait affecté des fonds à la mise en place de feux d’alignement maintenus par le public après la destruction d’une des paires précédentes par une tempête. Le feu arrière est une tour en brique de 16 m de hauteur située près de Water Street, près du poste de garde-côte de la rivière Merrimack. Il fonctionnait conjointement avec le phare avant de Newburyport. La tour était traditionnellement peinte en blanc sur le tiers supérieur du côté face à la rivière, avec une épaisse rayure blanche sur le reste de la façade. Ce côté est maintenant peint entièrement en blanc, alors que les trois autres côtés ne sont pas peints. La tour est surmontée d'une lanterne à huit côtés, qui est entourée d'une galerie balcon en fer et d'une rampe. Lorsque les feux sont devenus actifs en 1873, les gardiens locaux en ont assumé la responsabilité. Le travail a ensuite été transféré aux gardiens du phare de Plum Island. En 1961, les feux d'alignement ont été mis hors service et le feu arrière est devenu une propriété privée. Aujourd'hui, il est disponible à la location pour des événements et offre une vue sur le fleuve et la ville. Il est entretenu par la Lighthouse Preservation Society Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-545 .

Newton Highlands Historic District

The Newton Highlands Historic District encompasses the historic heart of the village of Newton Highlands in Newton, Massachusetts. When it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the district extended along Lincoln Street from Woodward to Hartford Streets, and included blocks of Bowdoin, Erie and Hartford Streets south of Lincoln Street. The district was enlarged in 1990 to include the cluster of commercial buildings on Lincoln Street between Hartford and Walnut Streets. The original district was predominantly residential in character, with most of the housing stock built between c. 1874 and 1911. The most common architectural styles found are Queen Anne and Colonial Revival. Development of the area was spurred by improvements in railroad service to the area spurred by town selectman (and later the city's first mayor) James F. C. Hyde. The district also includes the 1895 Romanesque Hyde School, named in his honor. The cluster of commercial buildings along Lincoln and Walnut Street which were added to the district in 1990 were also built in this time frame. Distinctive among these commercial buildings is the automotive garage at 1151 Walnut Street, built in 1928, which is the only surviving building of that type in the area. Other civic buildings in the district include the Newton Highlands branch of the Newton Free Library, an 1886 Queen Anne construction, and two churches: the Methodist Episcopal Church, built in 1893 in the Shingle style, and the Newton Highlands Congregational Church, a Gothic Revival structure built in 1906.

Newton Street School

The Newton School is a historic school at 70 Shelburne Road in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1915, it is one of the first graded elementary schools in western Massachusetts to feature a single-story plan and a large playground, presaging trends in those areas of school design. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Description and history The Newton School is located west of downtown Greenfield, at the northwest corner of Shelburne Road and Massachusetts Route 2A. The U-shaped brick building features a shallow slate roof, and a brick gable over the main entrance. The corners of the building have stone insets decorated with an open book design. The school was built in 1915, during Greenfield's greatest period of economic and population growth. It was designed by William H. McLean of Boston, an architect known for school designs. The school remained in active use until 1968, at which time it was closed and the building was leased to a community organization. It was reopened in 1988, as its surrounding residential areas had seen significant growth. A 1915 annual town report refers to the school as Westside, a reference to the location on the west side of the Green River. With the help of the Greenfield Recreation Department, Kaboom!, families and community members, Newton School built a new playground in October 2015 featuring playground instruments, unique to its community.

Nichols–Sterner House

The Nichols–Sterner House is a historic house at 428 Swamp Road in Richmond, Massachusetts. Built about 1820, it is one of only two brick houses built in a Federalist-Greek Revival transition style in Richmond. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Nichols–Sterner House is located in a rural setting of northern Richmond, on the north side of Swamp Road, a historically major road connecting Pittsfield and West Stockbridge. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building, with a gabled roof and a south-facing facade. The facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the right bay, framed by pilasters and topped by a keystoned round-arch transom window. The gable above is fully pedimented, with a keystoned half-round window at its center. A contemporaneous 1+1⁄2-story brick ell extends to the right from the rear corner. The interior retains original Federal woodwork, including fireplace mantels, doors, and trim. The main hall's trim has been given a marbleized finish, and its walls are painted with scenes of the Erie Canal. This artwork is the work of Albert Sterner, the second occupant of the house. The house was built in 1820 and occupied for over 100 years by the local Nichols family. In 1925, the house was sold to Flora Lash Sterner, wife of artist and illustrator Albert Sterner. The Sterners used the house as a summer residence until Albert's death in 1946. Mrs. Sterner did not use the house thereafter, and it suffered from the neglect. She sold the house in 1981, and the new owners undertook steps to restore the property. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Berkshire County, Massachusetts References
Aeródromo de Nomans Land

O aeródromo de Nomans Land foi um aeródromo militar operacionado pela Marinha dos Estados Unidos entre 1943 e 1950 na ilha de Nomans Land, pertencente à cidade de Chilmark, Massachusetts. O aeródromo teve pouco uso, sendo usado principalmente como campo de posso auxiliar para aeronaves de guerra que por lá passavam. História O aeródromo foi construído entre novembro de 1942 e 1943 com a intenção de proporcionar apoio na Segunda Guerra Mundial e a Marinha dos Estados Unidos começou a utilizar o aeródromo em 1943 para treinamentos militares, principalmente para bombardeamentos. Apesar de o aeródromo ter sido desativado em 1950, as atividades militares na ilha continuaram a ser executadas até 1996 quando a Marinha dos EUA transferiu o controlo da ilha para o Serviço de Pesca e Vida Selvagem para ser usado como um refúgio de vida selvagem, principalmente de aves.

Norfolk Grange Hall

The Norfolk Grange Hall, previously known as First Baptist Church, is a historic Grange hall and former Baptist church at 28 Rockwood Road in Norfolk, Massachusetts. Built in 1863, it is one of the town's few surviving 19th-century civic buildings. Since 1921 it has been owned by the Norfolk Grange # 135 and used as its meeting hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Description and history The Norfolk Grange Hall is set on the east side of Rockwood Road (Massachusetts Route 115), a short way north of Norfolk's village center. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The center section of the front (west-facing) facade projects slightly, and supports a two-stage tower topped by a flared roof. The building's corners are quoined, and the front gable is fully pedimented, with modillions at the rake and eave edges. Entrances are found to either side of the center projecting section, topped by half-round transom windows. The Baptists of Norfolk were organized about 1800, when the area was known as North Wrentham (it was incorporated as Norfolk in 1870). They first met at a parish in Medfield, and then in the old congregational meeting house when that was vacated by its congregation in 1842. In 1861, with that building requiring extensive repairs, the congregation opted to build a new edifice, resulting in the construction of this building the following year. It served that congregation, with minimal alteration, until 1921, when its declining enrollment prompted the sale of the building to the local Grange chapter. The Grange chapter, organized in 1886, and took a significant place in the then-agricultural community that it has maintained to this day. It updated the building, adding electricity and plumbing, and has over the years opened it to all manner of civic and social functions. From 1922, when the town hall burned down, until 1949, town meetings and other town business was conducted here. The public library was housed in space at its rear from 1922 to 1956. Of the town's 19th-century public buildings, only the Federated Church is older (built in 1832).
