Samuel Colby House

The Samuel Colby House is a historic house located at 74 Winthrop Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. Built in 1869 for a prominent local businessman, it is one of the city's best examples of high-style Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Description and history The Samuel Colby House is located south of downtown Taunton, on the south side of Winthrop Street at its junction with Walnut Street. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a stuccoed finish, and a low-pitch hip roof capped by a large square cupola. The main roof has elongated eaves studded with paired brackets, and the cupola roof has a curtain-style valance. The house is three bays wide, with a polygonal bay above the main entrance at the center of the front facade. The bays are demarcated by pilasters, and a single-story porch extends across the width of the front. The porch has a flat roof with bracketed eave, and is extensively decorated with stickwork. A similar porch extends along the side of the rear ell, facing Walnut Street. The house was built in 1869 for Samuel Colby, a manufacturer and retailer of men's and boy's clothing who operated a store in the Union Block in downtown Taunton. It is one of the city's least-altered post-Civil War 19th-century houses, and a particularly distinctive example of high-style Italianate architecture.

Samuel Elder House

The historic house at 38 Rangeley Road in Winchester, Massachusetts is one of three Panel Brick in an exclusive late 19th century subdivision. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as the Samuel Elder House, on the incorrect belief that it was the home of Samuel Elder, a prominent Boston lawyer. Description and history The Rangeley Estate subdivision was a high-end residential development, located southwest of Winchester center on the west side of the railroad tracks. The land was purchased by David Skillings, a lumber businessman from Maine, and developed by him into an exclusive gated development known as Rangeley Park (its wall and pillars that supported a gate are still visible on Church Street, at the northern end of the development). This house was built by Skillings in 1875–76 as a rental property. The house has incorrectly been described as the residence of Samuel J. Elder, one of the founding editors of The Yale Record, the world's oldest humor magazine. This error occurred because the street number of the house is 38, but the number 38 had earlier been associated with a different house in the Rangeley neighborhood where Samuel Elder lived. The house is set on a sweeping curve of Rangeley Road in the southern part of the Skillings development, opposite Meadowcroft Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure, built in a Ruskinian Gothic style to a design by George Dutton Rand. It is faced in polychrome (red and black) brick, with additional trim elements in brownstone. The main facade is asymmetrical, with the entrance set in a segmented-arch opening. A single-story porch extends across the facade, supported by bracketed posts, with a balustrade with a jigsawn trefoil pattern.

Samuel Gridley and Julia Ward Howe House

Das Samuel Gridley and Julia Ward Howe House ist ein historisches Wohnhaus im Bostoner Stadtteil Beacon Hill im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wurde nach ihren Eigentümern Julia Ward Howe und Samuel Gridley Howe benannt, die dort drei Jahre lang lebten. 1974 wurde das Bauwerk als National Historic Landmark in das National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eingetragen; bereits seit 1966 ist es Contributing Property des Beacon Hill Historic District. Architektur Das vier Stockwerke hohe Haus mit Flachdach wurde 1804 im Stil der Georgianischen Architektur gestaltet und ist eines von drei Häusern, die 1804 bzw. 1805 von Hebsibah Swan für Baukosten von je 8.000 US-Dollar (heute ca. 219.000 Dollar) nebeneinander an der Bostoner Chestnut Street errichtet wurden. Sie werden nach ihrer Bauherrin auch „Swan Houses“ (deutsch Schwanenhäuser) genannt und waren jeweils ein Hochzeitsgeschenk an ihre drei Töchter. Im Haus Nummer 13, auf das sich der NRHP-Eintrag bezieht, lebte zwischenzeitlich auch John Singer Sargent. Nach langer Diskussion unter Fachleuten gilt heute als sicher, dass Charles Bulfinch die Gebäude entworfen hat. Historische Bedeutung Als Samuel Gridley Howe im Jahr 1843 Julia Ward heiratete, hatte er sich bereits einen Namen als Philanthrop gemacht. Er trieb aktiv Reformen voran und war einer der ersten, der Blinde und Taubstumme unterrichtete. Trotzdem seine Frau erst 23 und damit 19 Jahre jünger als er war, spielte sie bald eine wichtige Rolle bei seinen Aktivitäten, unter anderem in den Kreisen der Bostoner Abolitionisten. Von 1863 bis 1866 lebten sie im Haus 13 Chestnut Street, nachdem Julia ihr Werk The Battle Hymn of the Republic veröffentlicht hatte. Ihr Mann war 44 Jahre lang Präsident der Perkins School for the Blind und wurde aufgrund seines vielfältigen Engagements unter anderem als ein „später Benjamin Rush“ bezeichnet. Nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1876 führte seine Witwe sein Werk mehr als 35 Jahre lang fort und wurde zur Vorreiterin für Frauenrechte in den Vereinigten Staaten.

Samuel Gridley and Julia Ward Howe House

The Samuel Gridley and Julia Ward Howe House is a historic rowhouse at 13 Chestnut Street in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974 for its association with the social reform couple, Julia Ward Howe and Samuel Gridley Howe. The Howes lived in the house, which was likely designed by renowned Boston architect Charles Bulfinch, from 1863 to 1866. It has served as the temporary official residence of the British Consul General to New England since 2016. Description and history The building is a four-story brick row house, one of three adjoining "Swan Houses" built by Hepzibah Swan, a wealthy widow, between 1804 and 1805 for her daughters. They are now accepted to have been designed by the noteworthy architect Charles Bulfinch, although documentary evidence supporting this notion is lacking, and the attribution has been attended with controversy. The house has a Georgian recessed doorway, windows recessed in arches on the first floor, and wrought iron railings on the second-floor windows. Samuel Gridley Howe (1801–1876) was a medical doctor and an early champion of support for the physically handicapped. He was a founder and the first head (for 44 years) of what is now called the Perkins School for the Blind. In 1843 he married Julia Ward (1819–1910), the daughter of a wealthy New York City banker. The two were influential forces in the social reform movements of the mid-to-late 19th century, working to advance the causes of the abolition of slavery, including actively heading the Boston Vigilance Committee, which assisted fugitive slaves in the 1850s. Julia Ward Howe became nationally famous after writing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" while visiting Washington, D. C. not long after moving into this house. She was a supporter and organizer of reform movements which long outlived her, notably those that supported women's suffrage. The Howes lived for many years after their marriage at "Green Peace", a house which no longer stands, in South Boston. Thereafter they lived at a number of Boston addresses, of which this is the most significant. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is a private residence and is not open to the public.

Samuel Osgood House (North Andover, Massachusetts)

The Samuel Osgood House is a historic house in North Andover, Massachusetts, USA. Built about 1740, it is said to be the birthplace of Samuel Osgood (1747 – 1813), a member of the Continental Congress and the first United States Postmaster General. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Samuel Osgood House is located east of North Andover's town center, on the west side of Osgood Street, between Stevens Street and the Cochichewick River. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, two interior brick chimneys, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and gabled pediment. The first-floor windows are topped by similar gables, while the second-floor windows have slightly projecting lintels. The building corners have plain cornerboards, rising to a dentillated cornice. The interior is organized in a center hall plan, with paneled fireplace surrounds. An ell extends to the rear, projecting slightly to the left, and there is a single-story porch projecting to the right. The house was built about 1740, and is a good local example of mid-18th century Georgian architecture. Samuel Osgood was born in this house in 1747; he served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and was elected to the Continental Congress in 1781. He was appointed the nation's first Postmaster General by President George Washington, and served in other civic roles prior to his death in 1813. His house is supposedly one of the places where the library of Harvard College was stored during the Revolution.

Sankaty Head Golf Club

Sankaty Head Golf Club is one of the easternmost golf courses in Massachusetts, perched on the edge of Nantucket Island in Siasconset, Massachusetts. The course was designed by Emerson Armstrong and opened in 1921. It is an 18-hole course. It is one of the few examples of world-class links-style golf outside of the UK (see Shinnecock Hills). The Atlantic wraps around 270 degrees of the layout and the Sankaty Head Lighthouse looms over the front nine. Sankaty members are a driving force behind the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund. They also have successfully sustained one of the few remaining caddy camps in the world, Camp Sankaty Head, which has existed since the late 1930s. Membership is private. Famous members include Jack Welch (whose island residence is just off the 4th tee-box), Lawrence Bossidy, Robert Charles Wright, Harry Fraker, Amos Hostetter Jr., Henry C. Pfaff, and Bill Belichick. On June 4, 2019, the Sankaty Head Golf Club was chosen to be the host site of the USGA's 41st U.S. Mid-Amateur. This was their first hosted USGA championship and was played September 25–30, 2021. The Caddy Camp The Sankaty Head Caddy Camp, directed by Dave Hinman, is the last remaining caddy camp in the United States and one of the last in the world. Here, 60 caddies, 6 junior staff members, a program director, caddymaster, camp director, assistant camp director, and cook are located between the 11th and 13th fairways on the course. After being picked through an application process, caddies come to this camp from Iowa, Florida, New York, South Carolina, Maine, New Jersey and other states. There are three "huts" in the camp, with 20 boys in each. Other buildings in camp include a mess hall, recreational hall, library, laundry shack, staff hut, and the director's hut. While the boys are not caddying, they can enjoy organized team sports of softball, volleyball, football, basketball, and of course, golf. Also in their free time, the boys can enjoy recreational golf, a workout in the weight "pit", or a game of ping pong in the rec hall. On August 2, 2011, a fire at the caddy camp erupted during a propane delivery. The fire consumed three buildings and injured the driver of the propane tanker truck.

Sankaty Head Light

The Sankaty Head Light is a lighthouse located on Nantucket island. It was built in 1850, was automated in 1965, and is still in operation. It is located at the easternmost point of the island, in the village of Siasconset. It was one of the first lighthouses in the United States to receive a Fresnel lens. History The shoals off the eastern coast of Nantucket had a long history as a hazard to navigation. The United States government decided in the 1840s that a prominent lighthouse should be erected to alert mariners to that hazard. Congress appropriated $12,000 for its construction in 1848, with additional funds totaling $8,000 in following years. The light went into service in February 1850. The tower is 60 feet (18 m) high; its lower portion is constructed of brick, and its upper part is granite. The light's turning mechanism was powered by a weight-driven brass clockwork, A brick house was built next to the tower at the time of its construction to house the light keeper's family. In 1887 this house was torn down and a new structure was built. Renovations to the tower at the time included installation of a new lantern section, adding some 10 feet (3.0 m) to its height. In 1933 the light was electrified, and the mechanical works to turn it were taken out of service. Its original lens was removed in 1950, and is now at the Nantucket Whaling Museum. The light was fully automated in 1965. In 1987, the lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Sankaty Head Light. The 'Sconset Trust acquired the lighthouse in 2007, and had it moved away from the eroding bluff (approximately 400 feet (120 m)) in October of that year.

Phare de Sankaty Head

Le phare de Sankaty Head (en anglais : Sankaty Head Light) est un phare actif situé à l'extrémité orientale de l'île de Nantucket dans le Comté de Nantucket (État du Massachusetts). Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 15 octobre 1987 . Histoire Les hauts-fonds situés au large de la côte est de Nantucket présentaient depuis longtemps un risque pour la navigation. Dans les années 1840, le gouvernement des États-Unis décida d'installer un phare de premier plan pour avertir les marins de ce danger. Le Congrès a affecté 12.000 dollars pour sa construction en 1848, avec des fonds supplémentaires totalisant 8.000 dollars les années suivantes. La lumière est entrée en service en février 1850. La partie inférieure de la tour est construite en brique et sa partie supérieure est en granit. Il était équipé d'une lentille de Fresnel de deuxième ordre et le mécanisme de rotation de la lumière était alimenté par une horloge en laiton entraînée par le poids. Cet objectif d'origine a été retiré en 1950 et se trouve maintenant au Nantucket Whaling Museum. Une maison en briques avait été construite à côté de la tour au moment de sa construction pour loger la famille du gardien de phare. En 1887, cette maison a été démolie et une nouvelle structure a été construite. Les travaux de rénovation de la tour à l’époque comprenaient l’installation d’une nouvelle section de lanterne,et d'une réhausse de3 m à sa hauteur. En 1933, la lumière a été électrifiée et les travaux mécaniques pour l'allumer ont été mis hors service. La lumière a été entièrement automatisée en 1965. Le Sconset Land Trust a acquis le phare en 2007 et l’a fait s’éloigner de la falaise érodée (environ 120 mètres) en octobre de la même année. Description Le phare est une tour cylindrique en brique et granit, avec une galerie circulaire et une lanterne de 21 m de haut. La tour est peinte en blanc avec une large bande rouge et la lanterne est noire. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 48 m, un éclat blanc par période de 7.5 secondes. Sa portée est de 24 milles nautiques (environ 44 km) Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-735 ; USCG : 1-0555 - Amirauté : J0406 .
