Worcester Palladium

The Worcester Palladium, also known as The Palladium or Palladium Theatre, is an all-ages concert hall and performance venue located in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Palladium was designed by architect Arlan W. Johnson and opened as a theatre in 1928 as the Plymouth Theatre. It has a seating capacity of 2,160 in the Main Room and 500 in the upstairs room and is a popular venue for rock and metal bands. The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival takes place at the Palladium annually. Since 1990, the booking agency MassConcerts has handled all booking for The Palladium; A live concert DVD by The Devil Wears Prada titled Dead & Alive was filmed at the Palladium on December 14, 2011. A live concert DVD by Insane Clown Posse titled New Years Ninja Party was filmed at the Palladium on New Years Eve 2012. Metalcore band Killswitch Engage released a live album recorded at The Palladium in 2022, titled "Live at the Palladium" History The Plymouth Theatre, originally leased by Alfred Gottesman Theatrical Enterprises, Inc., is situated at the corner of Main St. and Central St. and was first opened on November 24, 1928—"Doors open at 7:00 p.m.", "Curtain at 8 o'clock"—according to the bill in the Evening Gazette's News Notes of Worcester Stage and Screen. For the inaugural performances, the theater presented a "scene of beauty" to its guests—the foyer was decorated with about 100 baskets of roses and other flowers (gifts of some of the leading business establishments of the time), while the stage was banked with palms and flowers. Mr. Alfred Gottesman, lessee of The Plymouth, gave his personal supervision to the plans for the theater and had invited many of the night's guests personally. The theater opened with a Robert Morton pipe organ; the opening bill for the theater advertises "Buddy" Webber at the Console of Our Mighty Organ. As of 2008 the organ had been purchased and installed in a private residence. The building was renamed the E.M. Loew's Center for the Performing Arts on April 14, 1980, and by 1990 became The Palladium. In July 2012, owners John Fischer and John Sousa filed a waiver to Worcester's demolition delay ordinance after receiving an increase in the Palladium's property taxes. Despite the demolition delay ordinance, The Palladium found success in booking metalcore and hardcore bands, allowing it to continue operation. References
Worcester Plaza

Der Worcester Plaza, auch Shawmut Bank Tower, ehemals Worcester County National Bank, ist mit zusammen mit dem Sky Mark Tower das höchste Gebäude in Worcester im US-Bundesstaat Massachusetts. Unter der Anschrift 446 Main Street steht es direkt in Downtown Worcester. Entworfen wurde es vom Architektenbüro Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates und wurde 1974 fertiggestellt und ein Jahr später eröffnet. Es ist 88 Meter (289 ft) hoch und zählt 24 Stockwerke, die insgesamt 22.700 m² (244.000 sqf) an kommerziellen Büroflächen zur Verfügung stellen. Die Fassade ist komplett verglast, wie es bei höheren und auch moderneren Gebäude oft der Fall ist. Ursprüngliche Pläne sahen ein anderes Gebäude mit anderem Design unter gleichem Namen vor. Diese Gebäude sollte ikonisch als Wahrzeichen der Stadt gebaut werden und Downtown Worcester zusammen mit dem Rathaus das visuelle Zentrum der Stadt bilden. Es wurde 1969 angekündigt. Den Entwürfen zufolge sollte ein 212 Meter (696 ft) hoher, 50 Stockwerke zählender, schlanker Turm mit horizonten Fensterspalten und einer zu einer Krone zusammenlaufenden Spitze gebaut werden. Aufgrund der Lage des Grundstücks, welches 148 Meter (485 ft) über dem Meeresspiegel liegt, wäre es zu dieser Zeit das höchste kommerzielle Gebäude in der Region New England gewesen.

The tower was formerly known as the Worcester County National Bank Tower The current building was built instead of a larger, more iconic design announced in 1969 that was never realized. The original design was a 696 feet (212 m) tall, 50 story, slender tower with an angled crown and would have been the "highest standing commercial building in New England. The building was most recently sold in October 2019 to Boston-based Synergy Investments for $16.5 million. It previously sold for $21.5 million in 2000. History In April 2024, a reservation-only observation deck/event venue called Top of the Tower opened on the 23rd and 24th floors. The 2-story observation deck is a multipurpose event space for weddings, parties, corporate events, conferences, and other gatherings. Unscheduled public viewing is not currently offered, unlike at most other observation decks.

Worcester Technical High School

Worcester Technical High School (WTHS) is a vocational-technical high school, part of Worcester Public Schools district in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. It opened on August 28, 2006, replacing the old Worcester Vocational High School (formerly known as Worcester Boys' Trade High School from 1909 to about 1975) at 2 Grove Street. School history The school was also known for a period as Worcester Vocational Technical High School (WVTHS) beginning around 1975. When the David Hale Fanning Trade School (commonly called "Girls' Trade" or DHFTS) in Worcester closed its Chatham Street premises some years later, the curriculum, staff and student body transferred to WVTHS. Since many new non-technical areas of study were added by the merging of the two schools, the word "Technical" was dropped from the school's name. When the school moved to Green Hill, the name was once again changed to its current title of Worcester Technical High School. In 2014, President Barack Obama gave a speech for the school's Commencement Ceremony. Principals In 2013, then-principal Sheila Harrity was named National Principal of the Year by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Kyle Brenner replaced Harrity as Principal in 2014, and he relieved this position in 2020. The school's former principal was Siobahn Petrella. She was the Principal for WTHS for 2 years who later resigned in 2022, The school's current principal is Drew Weymouth who once served as an assistant principal. Academics Worcester Technical High School has 23 different trades from which students can choose, from the 4 different Academies – Alden Design and Engineering (Alden), Allied Health and Human Services (A.H./service), Coghlin Construction Academy (construction), Information Technology and Business Service (I.T.) Students run a restaurant, salon, automotive service center, graphic print shop, and preschool, as well as a veterinary clinic in partnership with Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. Students attend academic classes for half the time, and technical classes the other half the time. Technical Areas Worcester Tech offers 23 trade specialties grouped into 4 academies.

Worthy Hotel

The Worthy Hotel is an historic hotel at 1571 Main Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1895 and advertised as "Springfield's leading commercial and tourist house," the Worthy Hotel was Springfield's finest hotel until the opening of the Hotel Kimball in 1911. Located only two blocks south of Springfield Union Station and featuring 250 rooms, the Worthy Hotel's period of greatest significance was from 1895-1925. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1983. It is historically significant not only for its commerce but for its Renaissance Revival architecture. Currently, the Worthy Hotel is an apartment building. Description and history The former Worthy Hotel building is located in downtown Springfield, at the southeast corner of Main and Worthington Streets. It is an eight-story masonry structure, with a roughly L-shaped plan that extends south to North Church Avenue at the rear. It is Romanesque in style, with a variety of window trims and styles, including a number of round-arch windows typical of the style. The building is crowned by a projecting dentillated cornice. The section at the rear is a second building, which was merged into the main building and given a stylistically unifying facade treatment. The hotel was built in 1895 by Justin Worthy, and was the city's first steel-framed fireproof building. Located near the city's railroad station, it served business travelers, and had a restaurant that was judged one of the best in the city. Originally built with six floors and 50 rooms, it was raised to eight floors in 1905, and enlarged again with the acquisition of the 1896 Mayo building in 1909. The latter enlargement included creating a common facade, and filling in an alley separating the buildings as part of the combined structure. In 1929, Arthur D. Buckley, owner of the Winthrop Hotel in Meriden, Connecticut, managed the hotel.

Wrentham Developmental Center

The Wrentham Developmental Center, formerly Wrentham State School, is a historic state-run medical facility for the treatment of psychiatric and developmental disorders. It is located on a large campus at the junction of Emerald and North Streets in Wrentham, Massachusetts. The school was authorized by the state in 1906, and the first phase of the campus was developed between 1909 and 1917. The school opened in 1910. The school had a typical patient population of 1,200-1,300 during the 1920s. The name was changed in the 1990s. The school campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. History The school was established in 1906 by the state as its second institution for "feeble-minded" children, after the Fernald School in Waltham. The latter school was instrumental in the school's early days, providing both staff and patients. School trustees purchased 450 acres (180 ha) of land north of Wrentham center, which was later expanded to more than 700 acres (280 ha). Two farmhouses, dating to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, were adapted for early use, while the school's early buildings were built. Later adapted to house the superintendent and his assistant, one of them still stands at the junction of North and Dedham Streets. Through the 1920s the school expanded in size, building patient wards, employee housing, school facilities, and agricultural buildings to support the farm work some of the patients engaged in. By the end of World War II, the school had a student population of about 2,000, over its nominal capacity of 1,800. It underwent further expansion in the 1950s, and reached a peak population of 2,163 in 1965. In 1975, the state was forced by legal action to shift away from institutional treatment of developmentally disabled people. The Superintendent, Dr. John D. Webster fought the cutbacks; but ultimately Governor Michael Dukakis put an end to it and the school's population was reduced to 628 by 1989. Significant portions of the school's lands, mainly east of North Street and south of Emerald Street, have been adapted to other uses, as have portions of the surviving campus buildings.

Wright's Tavern

Wright's Tavern is a historic tavern located in the center of Concord, Massachusetts. It is now a National Historic Landmark owned by the Society of the First Parish, Concord, with important associations with the Battle of Lexington and Concord at the start of the American Revolution. Overview Wright's Tavern was built in 1747 by Ephraim Jones, who operated it until 1751. At the dawn of the American Revolution in April 1775, it was managed by Amos Wright, whose name it has borne ever since. On April 19, the day of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, when the courthouse bell announced the approach of Major Pitcairn's British troops, the Concord Minutemen assembled at Wright's Tavern. Later, after Pitcairn's arrival in the Concord square, British officers refreshed themselves in the tavern. The tavern also has earlier links to the Massachusetts Provincial Congress which met next door in October 1774, in the First Parish Church. With John Hancock as president and Benjamin Lincoln as secretary, the Congress consisted of 300 delegates from Massachusetts towns who passed measures ending tax payments to the Crown and organizing a militia force to defy King George III by arms if necessary. Wright's Tavern was used as a meeting place for committees of the Congress during the 5-day session. Since the Revolution the building has been put to many uses. Today the tavern is still in good condition with red clapboards and a double-hipped (monitor) roof above its two main stories. It is being restored to its 1775 condition as a museum and scheduled to open in 2024.

Wright Cemetery

Wright Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Groton Road near Lynwood Lane in Westford, Massachusetts. The cemetery was formally established in 1836 as a private cemetery for the locally numerous Wright family, although its earliest documented burial dates to 1819. Maintenance and operation of the cemetery was taken over by the town in 1909. The half-acre plot has approximately 150 marked grave sites, and remains in use. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Description and history Wright Cemetery is located in northwestern Westford, just north of the junction of Lynwood Lane and Groton Road (Massachusetts Route 40), a major artery through that part of the town. The cemetery occupies about 0.5 acres (0.20 ha) of a larger 4.5-acre (1.8 ha) parcel, the rest of which is wooded. The cemetery is roughly rectangular, with a capstoned fieldstone wall along the road, and a fence of granite posts and wooden rails on the other three sides. A wooden gate in the wall provides the primary access to the grounds, along with a few pedestrian entrances. Family plots are generally demarcated by granite curbing of various heights. The Albion Wright family plot is the most prominent of these, with curbs 2 feet (0.61 m) in height, with pyramidal piers at the corners, and granite steps to access the plot. The most common early markers are slate, with a shoulder-arch form at the top. Eighteen of these markers appear, with dates from 1819 to 1854. Later in the 19th century marble markers became more common, with granite predominating in 20th century markers. The largest grave marker is a granite obelisk 10 feet (3.0 m) in height; it is for Joel Wright (1782–1834) The cemetery was formally authorized by the town as a private cemetery for the Wright family in 1837, but there are eight markers that predate this formality, including members of the Wright and Wight families. One burial, that of Lieutenant Nahum Wight, is confirmed to be of an American Revolutionary War veteran; there are also several graves of War of 1812 veterans.

Wyeth Brickyard Superintendent's House

The Wyeth Brickyard Superintendent's House is a historic house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Built c. 1848, this modest brick 1+1⁄2-story worker's house is one of the few reminders of the once-thriving 19th century brick industry of North Cambridge.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Cambridge, Massachusetts References
YMCA (Salem, Massachusetts)

The Salem YMCA is a historic YMCA building at 284-296 Essex Street in the Downtown Salem District in Salem, Massachusetts. Its large building is an anchor of the western end of Salem's business district, of which Essex Street is a major component, and is one of the finest Classical Revival buildings in Salem. The Salem YMCA was first organized in 1858, and it commissioned the construction of this building in 1898. The three-story brick-and-limestone building was designed by Walter J. Paine, and has retained most of its exterior styling. The ground floor was designed to house primarily retail establishments, with the YMCA entrance highlighted by an ornate entablature supported by twin columns on either side. Entrances to the retail establishments are also indicated by building bays that project out less prominently than the main entrance. The ground floor is built in limestone, while the upper floors are predominantly brick. The building originally had a loggia on top of the roof, but that was removed in the 1950s. Faced with declining enrollments through the 1970s, the YMCA sold part of the second and third floors to the Salem Housing Authority, which converted that area to senior housing. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Yin Yu Tang House

Yin Yu Tang House (蔭餘堂) is a late 18th-century Chinese house from Anhui province that had been removed from its original village and re-erected in Salem, Massachusetts. In North America it is the only example of historic Chinese vernacular architecture. As such it provides an example of the type of dwelling an average family in China would have lived in. The Yin Yu Tang (Hall of Plentiful Shelter) was built in the late eighteenth century during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). A prosperous merchant surnamed Huang built a stately sixteen-bedroom house in China's southeastern Huizhou region, calling his home Yin Yu Tang House. This Chinese merchant commissioned the construction of the house in the province of his birth, Anhui, China. The five-bay, two-story residence was typical of its region, built of timber-frame construction, with a tile roof and exterior masonry walls of sandstone and brick. The house is about 47 feet 6 inches by 52 feet 5+1⁄2 inches not including the kitchens. In addition to sixteen bedrooms there are also two reception areas, a storage room, and a courtyard in the center. There are also large intricately carved wooden panels that cover the inner windows on the first floor. The house survived economic and political upheavals, and was home to eight generations of the Huang family. By the mid-1980s the house stood empty. Local and national authorities, with the endorsement of the original owner's descendants, gave permission for the house (and its contents) to be relocated to the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts. The house opened in June 2003 as a permanent exhibit at the PEM. Yin Yu Tang is available for timed, self-guided audio tours. A children's book titled Piece by Piece was written by Susan Tan and illustrated by Justine Wong. It follows a young girl's adventure through the museum and Yin Yu Tang House as she searches for a lost blanket. It was published by PEM and Six Foot Press in 2019. Incidents According to Harvard alumna Nancy Berliner (白铃安), during the construction, one incident involved a raccoon that entered the storage room. The Chinese craftsmen killed it with a shovel, skinned it, and cooked it for food.
