Casa di Paul Revere

La casa di Paul Revere (in inglese Paul Revere House) è una storica casa coloniale di Boston (Massachusetts, Stati Uniti d'America): realizzata intorno al 1680 ed appartenuta dal 1770 al 1800 ca. all'incisore e patriota Paul Revere, è il più antico edificio del centro città e costituisce uno dei pochi esempi rimasti nel Paese di abitazioni del XVII secolo. Storia La casa venne realizzata intorno al 1680 nel luogo dove sorgeva la canonica della seconda chiesa di Boston, andata distrutta dal grande incendio del 1676 e fino ad allora occupata per sei anni dalla famiglia del parroco Mather (composta, oltre che da lui, dalla moglie e dal figlio Cotton). Il primo proprietario della nuova casa fu un ricco mercante di nome Robert Howard. In seguito, nel corso della metà del XVIII secolo, vennero apportate delle modifiche all'edificio, con l'innalzamento del tetto. Nel 1770, si trasferì qui dalla residenza di Clark's Wharf Paul Revere assieme alla sua famiglia, composta dalla moglie Sarah, da cinque figli e dalla madre Deborah. Nel 1775, l'abitazione è al centro di un evento storico in seno alla guerra d'indipendenza americana (descritto anche nel poema di Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Paul Revere's Ride): fu infatti da qui che la sera del 18 aprile Paul Revere partì a cavallo alla volta di Lexington per avvisare John Hancock e Samuel Adams dell'imminente arrivo degli inglesi. Tra gli anni settanta e ottanta del XVIII secolo la famiglia Revere abitò saltuariamente nella casa, dopodiché l'edificio venne venduto intorno al 1800. L'ex-dimora dei Revere divenne così dapprima una pensione per marinai e in seguito un caseggiato per immigrati, mentre il piano inferiore venne rimodellato per essere adibito a negozio o ad ufficio, tanto che nel corso degli anni ospitò un negozio di dolciumi, una fabbrica di sigari, una banca italiana, ecc. Nel 1902, la casa venne acquistata da un pronipote di Paul Revere, John P. Reynolds Jr., che si assicurò così che l'edificio non venisse abbattuto. Venne in seguito istituita la Paul Revere Memorial Association, che, tra il 1907 e il 1908 finanziò l'opera di restauro della casa, la quale fu aperta al pubblico nell'aprile 1908. Descrizione La casa di Paul Revere si trova al nr. 19 di North Square. La casa, realizzata in legno ha mantenuto in gran parte la struttura originaria e presenta un piano superiore sporgente e finestre piombate a cerniera. All'interno della casa sono esposti mobili della famiglia Revere e dei manufatti realizzati da Paul Revere. Note Bibliografia Vari, USA, London - Milano, Dorling Kindersley - Mondadori, 2004-2008.

Peak House (Medfield, Massachusetts)

Peak House Heritage Center is a historic site located in Medfield, Massachusetts. According to tradition, the original house was built in 1651 by Benjamin Clark, was burned during the King Philip's War on February 21, 1676, and was rebuilt ca. 1677–1680 by Benjamin Clark, the owner of the original house. The current Peak House, however, was built in 1711 as an ell to the rebuilt house, and was moved to its current location in 1762 when the rebuilt house began to deteriorate. It is one of the oldest houses in Medfield and one of the earliest surviving examples of post-medieval English (Elizabethan) architecture in the United States. Some of the original panes of imported English glass in the windows can still be seen today. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and has the highest pitched roof on record in Massachusetts for a colonial American house. On October 18, 1924, the Peak House was deeded to the Medfield Historical Society by its then-owners, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Mason Smith, after which the house received a down-to-the-frame restoration. The house has served both as a dwelling and an historical site, as well as an artist's studio and workshop. On January 1, 2019, a ten-year Property Management Agreement was signed by the Medfield Historical Society and the Peak House Heritage Center which now has complete autonomy for facilities, operations, and programs.

Boston Police Department

Il Boston Police Department (BPD) è il più antico dipartimento di polizia cittadino degli Stati Uniti d'America. La sua responsabilità primaria è quella di assicurare l'ordine e reprimere il crimine all'interno della città di Boston. Con 2144 agenti sul campo è il ventesimo dipartimento di polizia per grandezza. Storia Prima della fondazione del dipartimento di polizia così com'è al giorno d'oggi, la città di Boston aveva istituito delle ronde notturne fin dal 1631. Nel 1838 fu approvata una legge che approvava la costituzione di un corpo stabile di Polizia. Nel maggio 1854, l'odierno Boston Police Department fu fondato formalmente e consisteva in 250 agenti. Gli agenti erano armati con un bastone lungo 35 cm e venivano pagati 2$ per ogni turno di pattuglia (circa 60$ del 2016). Gradi Elenco dei commissari William H. H.

Департамент полиции Бостона

Департамент полиции Бостона (англ. BPD, The Boston Police Department) — полицейский департамент города Бостон, штат Массачусетс (США). Один из старейших полицейских департаментов США. История Формально департамент полиции в Бостоне появился в 1838 году. Он действовал при начальнике городской полиции и имел в своём составе шесть назначенных чиновников. Позднее, в мае 1854 года он был расформирован и был создан заново по примеру полиции Лондона (en:Metropolitan Police Service). В 1871 году была организована Бостонская Полицейская Вспомогательная Ассоциация. 9 сентября 1919 года офицеры департамента, недовольные низкой заработной платой и плохими условиями труда, провели забастовку, требуя изменений в трудовых отношениях. Вскоре в городе началась неразбериха, поскольку из офицеров никто не следил за порядком в городе. Тогда в ситуацию вмешался губернатор штата Массачусетс Джон Калвин Кулидж. Он заявил, что полиция не имеет права бастовать и ввёл в город национальную гвардию, чтобы восстановить порядок в Бостоне. Забастовка провалилась и многие офицеры потеряли свою работу. Однако вновь нанятые офицеры получили более высокие зарплаты, больше дней для отдыха, а также получили униформу, которую требовали забастовщики. В 1974 и 1975 годах, департамент был вовлечён в поддержание правопорядка во время общественных волнений из-за нововведений в общественной школьной системе Бостона, переросших в уличные бои. Многие офицеры дежурили в школах, предотвращая правонарушения. Управляющие BPD William H. H. Emmons: 1903-1906 Stephen O'Meara: 1906-1918 Edwin Upton Curtis: 1918-1922 Herbert A.

Bradford Burial Ground

The Bradford Burial Ground is a historic cemetery at 326 Salem Street in the Bradford section of Haverhill, Massachusetts. The 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) cemetery was established in 1665, on land given by John Heseltine to the town of Bradford. The oldest readable marker in the cemetery has a date of 1689, but there are likely to be older burials. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Description and history The Bradford Burial Ground is located to the southeast of the center of Bradford village, on the north side of Salem Street, a through road connecting Bradford to Georgetown. It is directly opposite Orchard Hill Road, and adjacent to the drive to the Bradford Swim Club. The land it occupies is roughly pentagonal in shape, and is fronted by a finished stone retaining wall, with a small flight if granite steps for access. The remaining sides of the cemetery are demarcated by fieldstone walls. The terrain is generally level but sloping gently downhill to the north, and is basically grass dotted with mature trees. Most of the graves are arranged in a generally east-facing orientation, but this is not always exact, and there is one row of graves that faces north. The oldest graves are in the easternmost section. Although there are areas without any burial markers, ground-penetrating radar was used to identify at least 100 potential grave sites that lack markers. The most recent burials date to the 1950s. The cemetery was established in 1665 by the early founders of Bradford, which was incorporated in 1672, and was annexed to Haverhill in the 19th century. It was the site of the town's first two colonial meeting houses (whose locations within the grounds are not known). Documented burials include four of the town's first five ministers, many of its early settlers, and war veterans from King Philip's War (1675–78) to the American Civil War (1861–65). The stone wall at the front was built as part of a Works Progress Administration project in the 1930s. The cemetery is now formally cared for by the city of Haverhill, although most of its maintenance is performed by volunteers.

Millis station

Millis was a railroad station in Millis, Massachusetts. It served the Millis Branch (formerly the West Medway Branch), and opened in 1886. History In April 1966, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) reached an agreement with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, the owner of the West Medway Branch, to subsidise continued service on the branch (as well as on the Needham, Dedham, and Franklin lines, also owned by the NYNH&H) within its funding district, starting on April 24; as Medway, outside the district, declined to pay for continued service to Medway and West Medway stations (the latter of which was, at the time, the western terminus of the branch), the branch was cut back to Millis, which became the new terminus, and became known as the Millis Branch instead of the West Medway Branch. Slightly under a year later, on April 21, 1967, the Millis and Dedham branches were both abandoned due to continued poor ridership. By that time, the station had been used as the town hall for several years. Millis station is still extant, one of only two stations on the Millis Branch (the other being Dover) to have survived; it is now known as the Lansing Millis Memorial Railroad Station, part of the Millis Center Historic District.

Wayland station

Wayland station is a former railroad station in Wayland, Massachusetts. Originally built by the Massachusetts Central Railroad in 1881, by 1885 it was operated by the Central Massachusetts Railroad, and it was later part of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The MBTA subsidized service at the station beginning in 1965. It was closed in 1971 when service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions. Since 1980, The Wayland Depot, a charitable women's consignment craft shop, has operated out of the station, which is now owned by the Town of Wayland. The Wayland Depot's mission includes preservation of the historic station. In 2017, a stone dust section of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside was built over the section of the ROW the station was built to service, which is planned to be paved in 2027. Wayland had separate buildings for passengers and freight. Approximately 300 feet from the station, the Wayland Freight House is the only freight house still standing on the Central Mass line. It was built in 1881 at the same time as the station, and would store items of freight that were to be sent or had arrived and were waiting to be claimed by recipients. It is owned by the Town of Wayland and was restored with original paint colors. This section of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside was paved in 2019.

Lowell Cemetery (Lowell, Massachusetts)

Lowell Cemetery is a cemetery located in Lowell, Massachusetts. Founded in 1841 and located on the banks of the Concord River, the cemetery is one of the oldest garden cemeteries in the nation, inspired by Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Many of Lowell's wealthy industrialists are buried here, under ornate Victorian tombstones. A 73-acre (30 ha) portion of the 84 acres (34 ha) cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Description and history The cemetery is located in the central eastern part of the city, roughly bounded on the north by Fort Hill Park, on the east by Shedd Park, on the south by railroad tracks, and on the west by the Concord River, from which it is separated by Lawrence Street, where its historic main gate is located. It occupies 84 acres of rolling terrain, much of which has been developed. The main gate is a monumental granite structure designed by C. W. Painter and built in 1862. There is a secondary gate on Knapp Avenue at the cemetery's northeast corner, which was added in 1905. There are two buildings in the cemetery: the Talbot Memorial Chapel (1885) and the Superintendent's Office (1887), both Gothic Revival structures designed by Boston architect Frederick Stickney. Roadways in the cemetery were laid out to take advantage of the natural terrain, occasionally providing vistas. The main circulation route, Washington Avenue, roughly encircles the property, with several roads providing access across the central areas. The cemetery was laid out in 1841 to a design by George P. Worcester, a civil engineer, applying principles of the rural cemetery movement that was then just coming into vogue. The cemetery has a wide variety of funerary art in diverse styles, from typical Victorian forms to the Egyptian Revival and Art Deco. Many prominent Lowell residents of the 19th and 20th centuries are interred here.

Cimetière de Lowell

Le cimetière de Lowell est un cimetière situé à Lowell, au Massachusetts. Créé en 1841 et situé sur les rives de la rivière Concord, le cimetière est l'un des plus vieux cimetières paysagers des États-Unis, inspiré par le cimetière de Mount Auburn à Cambridge, au Massachusetts. Beaucoup de riches industriels de Lowell y sont enterrés, sous des pierres tombales de style victorien. Une partie de 73 acres (30 ha) du cimetière de 84 acres (34 ha) est inscrite sur le Registre national des lieux historiques en 1998. Description et histoire Le cimetière est situé dans le centre-est de la ville, à peu près délimité au nord par le parc de fort Hill, à l'est par le parc de Shedd, au sud par la voie ferrée, et à l'ouest par la rivière Concord, à partir de laquelle il est séparé par la Lawrence Street, où sa porte principale historique est située. Il occupe 84 hectares de terrain, dont une grande partie a été développée. La porte principale est une structure monumentale de granit conçue par C. W. Painter et construite en 1862. Il y a un portail secondaire sur la Knapp Avenue de l'angle nord-est du cimetière, qui a été ajouté en 1905. Il y a deux bâtiments dans le cimetière : la chapelle commémorative Talbot (1885) et le bureau du surintendant (1887), tous deux étant des structures néo-gothiques conçue par l'architecte de Boston Frederick Stickney. Des routes dans le cimetière ont été aménagées pour profiter de la pente naturelle du terrain, fournissant de temps en temps des panoramiques. La route principale de circulation, la Washington Avenue, entoure presque la propriété, avec plusieurs routes donnant accès aux zones centrales. Le cimetière est aménagé en 1841 par George P. Worcester, un ingénieur en génie civil, en appliquant des principes du mouvement des cimetières paysagers qui est alors en vogue. Le cimetière a une grande variété d'art funéraire dans des styles différents, du style victorien à la renaissance égyptienne et à l'art déco. De nombreuses personnalités de Lowell des XIXe et XXe siècles y sont enterrées.
