St. John the Baptist Church (New Bedford, Massachusetts)

St. John the Baptist is a historic church in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and a former parish of the Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Fall River. At its closure, it had been the oldest Portuguese-American parish in the United States. History St. John the Baptist parish was founded in 1871 to serve the Portuguese community in the area, becoming the second parish in New Bedford. Portuguese immigration declined in the early 21st century, and later generations moved beyond New Bedford and Fall River, even as the cost of maintaining the historic church continued to rise. In 2009, the parish and finance councils asked the Diocese to evaluate its viability. The diocese set goals for membership and activity, but the parish failed to meet them, and in March 2012, its closure was announced. The parish was merged with that of nearby Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and the church shuttered in November. Building The first church, dedicated in 1875, was destroyed by fire in 1908. The present Romanesque style church with Byzantine elements was built in 1913 to the designs of Boston architect Matthew Sullivan. References External links Diocese of Fall River

Jefferson School (Massachusetts)

The Jefferson School is a historic school at 200 Middle Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The Queen Anne style school was designed by Shepard S. Woodcock and was built in 1889. The four-room schoolhouse is a variant of the Washington School, built in 1887. In contrast to the latter school, this one has more symmetrical massing, but is decorated with scalloped shingles and a porch with elaborate woodwork. It is topped by an octagonal clock tower with cupola. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

Jehiel Cochran House

The Jehiel Cochran House (also known locally as Brickhaven) is a historic house at 65 Burnham Road in Andover, Massachusetts. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Massachusetts cultural inventory records at 63 Burnham Road, but by the Andover Historical Society at 65 Burnham Road. The house, built in the 1830s, is locally distinctive for its use of brick, and for its association with the Jehiel Cochran, the brickyard owner who built it. It was listed on the National Register in 1982. Description and history The Cochran House is set back from the north side of Burnham Road, just east of its crossing of some railroad tracks. It is a rectangular brick structure, 2+1⁄2 stories high, with a side gable roof and twin interior chimneys. A large modern addition has been built to the right of the original structure that rivals it in size. The windows are six-over-six sash, with granite lintels, and the center entry is flanked by sidelight windows. The property also includes a small vintage barn. The house, built in the 1830s, is uncommon because most houses in the area of that period were built of wood. Jehiel Cochran, the builder and owner, was an Andover native who owned a brickyard nearby. Cochran was apparently associated with the brickyard for some time, but was listed as a farmer when he died in 1860. The house he built is a well-executed conservative vernacular rendition of a transitional Federal-Greek Revival style.

Jerathmell Bowers House

The Jerathmell Bowers House is believed to have built circa 1673, at 150 Wood Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. It is the oldest known home in Lowell. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Description and history The Jerathmell Bowers House in western Lowell, on the east side of Wood Street north of its junction with Westford Street. It is a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house, with a gabled roof, central brick chimney, and clapboarded exterior. It is oriented with the gable end facing the street and the main facade facing south. The facade is five bays wide, with two windows on either side of a central entrance. All of these elements are placed asymmetrically, with the entrance slightly right of center. To the left of the main block is an early 19th-century three-season sunroom, and older ells (of 18th and 19th-century construction) extend to the right and back. The interior of the main block has a typical colonial-era four-room center-chimney layout, with the doorway leading into a narrow vestibule with a winding staircase providing access to the attic level. Jerathmell Bowers, a native of Cambridge, Massachusetts, purchased land in what was then Chelmsford in 1670 or 1671. His son's birth was recorded in Chelmsford in 1673, suggesting that at least part of this house was standing then. The National Register of Historic Places form states that "It appears likely that its ca. 1673 date is correct, but the extensive interior changes that have concealed original fabric make it impossible to confirm this positively." By the 1800s, the farm covered about 150 acres (61 ha). Jerathmell Bowers was a prominent local citizen, serving as a selectman and militia leader. He also operated a distillery here. During the early colonial period of Chelmsford, it was one of 19 garrison houses used for refuge by citizens during attacks by Native American tribes. The area where the house stands became part of Lowell in the late 1820s, following the early development of mills on the Merrimack River. The house remained in the hands of Bowers descendants at least until the property was listed on the National Register in 1994. In 2013 there was a proposal to tear down the house to make more room for a new commercial building. The entrance to the new building was proposed to be where this house is located. After advocating to keep the house, by the Lowell Heritage Partnership and Lowell Historical Society, the decision was made to save and stabilize the house. In November 2015 it was reported that the developers of the neighboring shopping center are going to start restoring the home in spring 2016.

Jeremiah Lee Mansion

The Jeremiah Lee Mansion is a historic house located in Marblehead, Massachusetts. It is operated as a house museum by the local historical society. Built in 1768, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 as one of the finest Late Georgian houses in the United States. It features original wallpaper and finely crafted woodwork. Description The mansion is a large wooden house in the Georgian style, with an imitation stone ashlar facade, built in 1768 by Colonel Jeremiah Lee, at that time the wealthiest merchant and ship owner in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The facade may be based on Plate 11 of Robert Morris' influential patternbook Rural Architecture (London 1750; retitled Select Architecture in later eds.). It was one of the largest and most opulent houses of the late-colonial period in America. The mansion is now owned by the Marblehead Museum and Historical Society. It contains a notable collection of early American furniture, and many of the mansion's original decorative finishes have been preserved, including rare 18th-century English hand-painted wallpaper, intricate carving in the rococo style, and a grand entry hall and staircase paneled with mahogany. On either side of its landing are copies of the full-length portraits of Jeremiah and Martha Lee by John Singleton Copley. The mansion was declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. In 1984 it was also included in the Marblehead Historic District.

Jethro Coffin House

Das Jethro Coffin House (auch Oldest House) ist ein historisches Wohnhaus auf der Insel Nantucket im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wurde 1968 als National Historic Landmark in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen und wird heute von der Nantucket Historical Association als Museum betrieben. Architektur Das Haus wurde als sog. Saltbox errichtet und verfügt über eineinhalb Stockwerke, die um einen zentralen Kamin herum aufgebaut sind. Das Dach ist mit Holzschindeln gedeckt, die ebenso als äußere Wandverkleidung dienen. Auf dem Kamin bilden hervorstehende Ziegelsteine eine ungewöhnliche Form, deren genaue Bedeutung bis heute unklar ist. Jethro Coffin war Schmied von Beruf, und so könnte es sich um ein Hufeisen handeln; dies hätte man aber nicht mit der Öffnung nach unten platziert, da dies dem Aberglauben nach Unglück bringt. Es könnte daher auch ein Schutztalisman gegen in den Kamin eindringende Hexen sein. Ebenso ist denkbar, dass es sich um einen jakobinischen Kaminbogen in provinzieller Ausführung handelt. Geschichte Das Gebäude steht auf einer als Sunset Hill bekannten Erhebung nordwestlich des Stadtzentrums. Das Haus wurde höchstwahrscheinlich als Hochzeitsgeschenk für Jethro und Mary Coffin (geb. Gardner) um 1686 errichtet. Die dazu erforderlichen Baumaterialien stammten aus Exeter in New Hampshire, wo Jethros Vater Wälder und ein Sägewerk besaß. 1708 verkauften die Coffins das Haus an die Paddock-Familie, in deren Eigentum es bis 1840 blieb. Die Aufzeichnungen sind ab hier lückenhaft, bis es 1881 der aus Poughkeepsie in New York stammende Tristram Coffin kaufte, der ein direkter Nachfahre von Jethro Coffin war. Er ließ Reparaturen durchführen und das Dach erneuern. 1923 erwarb die Nantucket Historical Association das Haus und nahm 1927 eine vollständige Rekonstruktion vor. Historische Bedeutung Das Haus zählt zu den am besten erhaltenen Saltbox-Häusern aus dem 17. Jahrhundert in ganz Neuengland und ist das einzige seiner Art auf Nantucket. Speziell für Nantucket ist es untypisch, dass es nie versetzt wurde und noch heute an seinem ursprünglichen Bauplatz steht. Obwohl es aufgrund der umfangreichen Rekonstruktionsarbeiten 1927 erhebliche bauliche Veränderungen erfuhr und damit heute kaum noch seinem Original – weder im Hinblick auf das Baumaterial noch auf das Design – entspricht, dient es heute als Lehrbuch-Beispiel für das Aussehen einer Saltbox.

Great Blue Hill Observation Tower

The Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, known locally as Eliot Tower, is a historic stone tower located near the summit of Great Blue Hill in Milton, Massachusetts. The tower was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and is a good example of the rustic architecture CCC projects were known for. The 35-foot-tall (11 m) tower provides views of about 270°, with only the view toward the actual hill summit obscured by vegetation. The tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Description and history Eliot Tower stands a short way from the summit of Great Blue Hill in the Blue Hills Reservation south of Boston, Massachusetts. The actual summit of the hill is occupied by the Great Blue Hill Weather Observatory, which is separated from the tower by trees. The tower is a squat square structure, 35 feet (11 m) in height, topped by a pyramidal roof. There are wide rectangular openings beneath the roof, and the main entry to the tower is on its eastern face. The tower is joined to a single-story covered picnic pavilion, which is made from the same rubblestone as the tower. The tower is located directly adjacent to the Eliot Memorial Bridge, which predates it by about three decades. The tower offers a view over about 270°, including all of Boston, Boston Harbor, and much of the South Shore. The tower was built in 1937-38 by a Civilian Conservation Corps crew stationed in the Blue Hills. This crew was also responsible for construction of the Chickatawbut Tower, which has similar features. The attached pavilion was modified in the 1950s to include a supply and utility room, which was removed during restorative work in 2023-2024. In the 1980s vandals destroyed the pavilion's original slate roof, which was subsequently replaced by the present faux-slate material. The 2023-2024 restoration work includes an educational space for programs run by the observatory, and limited improvements for disability access.

John Adams Birthplace

John Adams Birthplace ist ein Bauwerk historischer Bedeutung im Adams National Historical Park in Quincy, Massachusetts. Architektur Das Haus ist im Saltbox-Stil erbaut und hat daher ein einhüftiges, ungleichseitiges Satteldach. Dadurch hat John Adams Birthplace vorne zwei, hinten aber nur eine Etage. Das Dach des Gebäudes in Ständerbauweise ist mit Schindeln gedeckt. Geschichte Ein unter einer Bodenschwelle im südwestlichen Teil des Hauses gefundener und mit Datum versehener Ziegelstein verweist auf das Jahr 1681 als Baubeginn. Der östliche Teil von John Adams Birthplace ist womöglich auf dem Fundament eines um ca. 1650 errichteten Vorgängerbaus aufgesetzt worden. Zu dieser Zeit befand sich das Land im Besitz eines William Needham. 1720 wurde das Haus von John Adams senior, dem späteren Präsidentenvater, samt sieben Acres dazugehörigen Grundstücks gekauft. In diesem Haus wurde im Jahr 1735 der spätere US-Präsident John Adams geboren. Dieser lebte hier bis zu seiner Heirat im Jahr 1764. Bis 1940 befand sich John Adams Birthplace in Familienbesitz, danach wurde es der Stadt Quincy übereignet. Von 1896 bis 1950 nutzte ein Ortsverband der Töchter der Amerikanischen Revolution das Haus als Hauptquartier. Seit dem 19. Dezember 1960 ist John Adams Birthplace eine National Historic Landmark. Am 15. Oktober 1966 wurde das Haus als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Von der originalen Bausubstanz ist noch ein Großteil erhalten. Heute dient John Adams Birthplace der Quincy Historical Society als ein Museum. Siehe auch Liste der National Historic Landmarks in Massachusetts Weblinks Polly M.

John Adams Birthplace

The John Adams Birthplace is a historic house at 133 Franklin Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. It is the saltbox home in which Founding Father and second president of the United States, John Adams, was born in 1735. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Along with the neighboring John Quincy Adams Birthplace, it is now administered by the National Park Service as part of the Adams National Historical Park, and is open for guided tours. Description and early history The house, a 2+1⁄2 story wood-frame structure sheathed in wooden clapboards, is a classic New England home with two lower and two upper rooms built around a massive central chimney. Extensive alterations were made over the years, including the building of a lean-to in the 18th century that added two downstairs rooms and two small upper chambers. The main facade is three bays wide with the entry in the center. The doorway is framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and triangular pediment. The land on which the house sits was first owned by William Needham, who built a house on the property c. 1681. President John Adams refers to the fact that his father built the house in a letter to Benjamin Rush of July 19, 1812. The framing of the east side incorporates a number of reused timbers dating to the 1670s." John, the oldest son of Deacon John, was born in the east room on October 30 (October 19 O.S.), 1735. Later history Upon the Deacon's death in 1761, the house passed to his second son, Peter; the elder John received the house next door, where John Quincy Adams was born to John and Abigail Adams in 1767. Peter lived in the house with his mother until 1768, when he married. In 1774 he sold the house to his brother John, who rented it out after their mother died in 1780. In 1803 John sold both houses to his son, who lived in the house of his birth, and rented this one out. The house was occupied from 1810 to 1818 by John Quincy Adams' son, Thomas Boylston Adams. Both houses remained in Adams family ownership, and were rented out until 1885, when most of the surrounding farmland was sold off. After sitting vacant, Charles Francis Adams Jr. authorized the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to use the house as meeting space. This they did until the chapter folded in 1950. The Adamses sold the house to the City of Quincy in 1940, which turned administration of the property over to the Quincy Historical Society (which had earlier taken over the adjacent house) in 1950. The two houses are now part of Adams National Historical Park, and are administered by the National Park Service. They are open for guided tours.
