Josiah A. Ames House

The Josiah A. Ames House is an historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built in 1887 by a military veteran, it is notable for its association 1902–1922 with the Lincoln House of Boston, a charity providing "fresh air" opportunities to inner city youth. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Description and history The Josiah A. Ames House stands west of the village of Osterville, on the south side of Bridge Street immediately east of the bridge across the channel between North and West Bays. It is a vernacular Queen Anne Victorian wood-frame house, 2+1⁄2 stories in height, with a shingled exterior. Its basically square plan is relieved by a cross-gabled roof, and the only other decorative note is found in the narrow segmented-arch windows in the gables. The house was built in 1887 by Josiah Ames, a veteran of the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War, who was also involved in the California Gold Rush. The house was purchased by a niece of his wife in 1897, and the following year she began renting it to the Lincoln Association of Boston. This organization was established to allow inner-city children, mothers, and teachers to have recreational opportunities away from city conditions. The association purchased the house in 1902 and operated on the premises until 1922. The house has been in private residential use since then.

Paramount Theater (Springfield, Massachusetts)

The Paramount Theater (formerly known as Julia Sanderson Theater and The Hippodrome) is an historic theater located at 1676-1708 Main Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1926 out of part of the grand Massasoit House hotel at a cost of over $1 million, the Paramount Theater was the most ornate picture palace in Western Massachusetts. As of 2011, The Paramount is in the midst of a $1.725 million renovation to once again become a theater after decades as a disco and concert hall, (the Hippodrome), when it was the center of Springfield's club scene. In 2018 the building's owners, the New England Farm Workers Council, announced plans to redevelop it in tandem with a new adjacent hotel building. In a push to renovate the Paramount along with Holyoke's Victory Theater, in October 2018, the administration of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced a $2.5 million grant to assist the project, on top of a $4 million federal loan guarantee. However, the New England Farm Workers Council would subsequently announce plans to sell the building on July 30, 2024. An auction was slated for August 20 of that year before being delayed to September 23. The winner, Mohan C. Sachdev, announced plans to start renovation work in March 2026. History From 1926 until the 1960s, The Paramount changed names several times—including a brief stint as the Julia Sanderson Theater, honoring a famous actress from Springfield. However, it remained a movie theater until the 1960s, when it began to find use as a mixed use venue for movies, rock concerts, and other live performances. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1999, the venue was purchased and restored by Steven Stein and Michael Barrasso of Paramount Realty Investment LLC/Creative Theater Concepts. At that time, it was turned into a lavish nightclub and performance space. The venue's main floor seats were removed; however, the 1,100 balcony seats were retained and restored. The theater underwent a $1.3 million renovation in 1999, and was reopened as the Hippodrome. The original organ was restored and the marquee was changed to reflect the theater's new name. The Hippodrome became a popular nightclub and concert venue during the 2000s. In 2011, the theater was purchased by the New England Farm Worker's Council, who planned a $1.725 million renovation to once again make it a theater and performance space. However, this never happened. Instead, the building was sold in an auction to Mohan C. Sachdev, a Connecticut-based real estate developer. On December 12, 2025, Sachdev announced plans to replace the building's roof in March 2026, with further renovations to follow afterward.

Katama Airpark

Katama Airpark (FAA LID: 1B2) is a public airport in the Katama section of Edgartown, Massachusetts, in Dukes County on the island of Martha's Vineyard. The airport, owned by the Town of Edgartown, has three runways, averages 22 takeoffs and landings per day, and has one aircraft based on its field. Katama is one of three airports on the island. The main airport Martha's Vineyard Airport (MVY) is the only one with commercial service and handles the majority of the island's general aviation traffic. The third airport is the smaller Trade Wind Airport, a grass airfield in Oak Bluffs. History During World War II, Martha's Vineyard Airport functioned as an outer defense and a training facility for gunnery and pilots. In addition to the main airport, there is a small airfield at Katama near a gunnery practice area on the beach. Following World War II, this airport was purchased by Steven Gentle, who ran the Katama Airpark until the 1980s when it was purchased with state conservation funds (as this airfield has five endangered plant or animal species). Facilities The town of Edgartown manages the airport. During the season (roughly May 31 to Labor Day), biplane and glider rides are available, as well as flight instruction in four different aircraft. A restaurant is adjacent to the airfield, currently named "Katama Kitchen." The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has a small data monitoring building adjacent to the hangar. It monitors wave action, beach erosion, and offshore wave action. It is not open to the public. Accidents On June 22, 2005, a Cessna Skyhawk stalled and crashed during a landing attempt, injuring the pilot and two passengers. This crash was the subject of a lengthy trial which concluded in 2012 with Cessna awarding a settlement of $1.7 million (2012 USD) to the injured party. The plaintiffs alleged that faulty cockpit seat rails had caused the pilot to unexpectedly slide backward and lose control of the plane while attempting to abort a landing. On August 3, 2015, a Piper Cherokee was damaged when it rotated forward onto its nose during a rough landing. No passengers were harmed during this incident.

Kennedy Park (Fall River, Massachusetts)

Kennedy Park (originally known as South Park) is a 57-acre (23 ha) historic park located in Fall River, Massachusetts. It is bounded by South Main Street, Bradford Avenue, Middle, and Bay Streets in the southern part of the city. The area of the city where the park is located was until 1862, part of Rhode Island. History The park was originally the farm of John Durfee. The location gained national attention in December 1832, when the pregnant lifeless body of Sarah M. Cornell was found hanging from a stackpole there. Her death was later deemed to be murder. Methodist minister Ephraim K. Avery was accused of the crime, but acquitted after a sensational trial. The verdict outraged many local citizens. Sarah's body was initially buried on the Durfee farm, but moved years later to Oak Grove Cemetery when the park was being built. Built in 1868, designed by famed 19th century landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park was originally known as "South Park". It was updated in 1904 by the Olmsted Brothers. The park was renamed in 1963 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The park provides a vast area of open space in the middle of a particularly dense portion of the city, surrounded by many triple-decker working-class tenement houses and the Catholic St. Anne's Church. Description The park has three sections: a flat upper section used for baseball and recreation fields, a sloping middle portion with sweeping views of Mount Hope Bay, and a lower somewhat wooded portion along the Bay. The park was added to the National Historic Register in 1983. It was restored in 2001. Kennedy Park has long been used a place for public events in the city. In September 1996, over 25,000 people gathered in the lower portion of the park to see then President Bill Clinton during a campaign stop for his 1996 re-election. Each August since 1986, the park hosts the Great Holy Ghost Feast of New England, a celebration of Azorean culture which attracts over 200,000 people each year. In 2014, an "inclusion playground" opened in Kennedy Park, which features equipment accessible to children with disabilities. The park includes a partially fenced playground area with slides, a seesaw, and mini monkey bars. An empty ice skating rink provides a place for children to ride bicycles.

Kidder–Sargent–McCrehan House

The Kidder–Sargent–McCrehan House, also known as the Kidder–Sargent House, is an historic house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 2.5-story wood-frame house was built c. 1792 by Nathaniel Kidder, and is one of the oldest and least-altered buildings of the period in northwest Cambridge, and the only one on its original site. The house follows a typical Georgian center-chimney plan, with two rooms on either side of the chimney on each floor.

King Philip Mills

King Philip Mills is an historic cotton mill complex located at 372 Kilburn Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Developed between 1871 and 1892, it was historically one of the city's largest mills, and its building inventory is still largely complete. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The King Philip Mill complex is located in southern Fall River, on the northwest shore of Cook Pond. The complex is bounded on the north by Dwelly Street and the west by Kilburn Street. It consists of more than twelve interconnected buildings. Three of the large main mill buildings are built of locally quarried granite, with the 4-5 story Mills 1 and 2 joined by a picker house to form a structure with a unified facade 740 feet (230 m) in length; this is the longest such building in the city. The King Philip Mill was organized with $500,000 in capital in 1871 and Mill No. 1 was built the same year. In 1881, capital was increased to $1,000,000 and Mill No. 2 was built. Mill No. 3 was added in 1888 for weaving. Mill No. 4 was built in 1892. The architectural design for the buildings was by William F. Sherman and Frank P. Sheldon; the latter was a prominent mill designer from Providence, Rhode Island. By 1917 the company had a capacity of 134,000 spindles and 3,000 looms. In 1930 the company was acquired by Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates which later became Berkshire Hathaway. Textile production ended on May 8, 1964, and the complex was used by a variety of light industrial concerns. On the morning of January 3, 2012, the former office building of the mills was destroyed by arson. Demolition The 750,000 square foot mill property was bought by developer Robert Kfoury in 2018, with plans to builds single-family homes there. Demolition of the mill complex began on May 29, 2018. All but one building will be demolished. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Fall River, Massachusetts List of mills in Fall River, Massachusetts References
Kistler House

The Kistler House is a historic house at 945 Beacon Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built in 1893, and is one of Newton Center's most elaborate Colonial Revival houses. It has a veranda that wraps around two sides of the house, although a porch shelters the front facade. The porch is supported by clusters of slender columns, with a projecting central section framing the main entrance, which has leaded glass sidelight windows. A Palladian window stands above the main entrance, and the cornice line is embellished with egg-and-dart moulding, dentil moulding, and a frieze decorated with swags. Andrew Kistler, the owner, was a leather dealer working in Boston. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Kittredge Mansion

The Kittredge Mansion is a historic house in North Andover, Massachusetts. This three story wood-frame house was built in 1784 for Joseph Kittredge, and has remained in the family. Its construction and design have been attributed to noted Salem, Massachusetts builder Samuel McIntire. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and included in the North Andover Center Historic District in 1979. Description and history The Kittredge Mansion is located in a rural suburban area east of North Andover's town center, on the north side of Academy Road just east of its junction with Court Street. It is set on about 45 acres (18 ha) of land, with the main house near the southern end. The house is a large three-story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and hip roof. The roof is truncated at the center by a flat section surrounded by a balustrade. The main block is five bays wide and three deep, with a center entrance on the front facade, sheltered by an enclosed vestibule with pedimented gable. The third floor windows are half-height, a design seen in period mansion houses in Salem. The building corners have wide fluted Doric pilasters that taper as they rise to a moulded cornice. The interior follows a center hall plan, with a fine staircase in the main hall, with a particularly fine fireplace surround in the southwest parlor. A series of ells project to the rear of the house, and a mid-19th century barn with Gothic features stands just to its right. The house was built in 1784 for Doctor Thomas Kittredge, a prominent local doctor who served in that capacity in the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill. The Kittredges remained a prominent medical family in the Andover-North Andover area, producing generations of doctors through the 19th and 20th centuries. Dr. Joseph Kittredge operated a small sanitarium in the house in the 1920s and 1930s. When the house was listed on the National Register in 1976, it was still in the family's hands.

Evelyn Moakley Bridge

The Evelyn Moakley Bridge is a bridge that crosses Fort Point Channel in Boston, Massachusetts. It connects Downtown Boston to the Seaport District. History Congressional approval for a new bridge to span Boston's Fort Point Channel was granted in late 1981. Such approval was necessary due to impact on a navigable waterway. Construction began in December 1989, and completion was initially scheduled for October 1992. Anthony's Pier 4, a popular Boston restaurant, was cited by The Boston Globe as "possibly the strongest single force behind the project." The bridge was initially known as the New Northern Avenue Bridge, due to its location adjacent to the "old" Northern Avenue Bridge, which also provided vehicle access across the Fort Point Channel and had opened in 1908. The new bridge was constructed parallel to and about 250 feet (76 m) south of the old bridge. While the old structure had been built as a swing bridge, the new structure was constructed as a fixed span. The bridge opened to eastbound traffic by early March 1996, and opened to two-way traffic in October 1996. On October 4, 1996, the bridge was formally named for the wife of Congressman Joe Moakley, following her death from cancer, and after Moakley declined an offer to have the bridge named in his honor. At the eastern end of the bridge is the John Joseph Moakley Federal Courthouse (completed in 1999) and the Seaport Shrine (completed in 2017).

Kresge Auditorium

Das Kresge Auditorium ist ein Hörsaalgebäude des Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Das von Eero Saarinen entworfene Gebäude wurde von 1953 bis 1955 erbaut. Eine konstruktive Besonderheit des Gebäudes ist die Stahlbetonkuppel in Form eines perfekten Kugelsegmentes, die optisch auf drei Stützpfeilern ruht. Das Hörsaalgebäude ist nach dem Mäzen Sebastian Kresge (1867–1966) benannt, dessen Kaufhauskette später zu Kmart umbenannt wurde. Baubeschreibung Das Gebäude wird durch die Form seines Dachs definiert, eine elegante und dünnschalige Struktur aus Stahlbeton. Die Dachhülle entspricht dem Achtel einer Kugeloberfläche und ist mit Kupfer verkleidet. Das Dach erhebt sich zu einer Höhe von 15 m. Die drei symmetrischen Seiten des Gebäudes werden durch eine gläserne Vorhangfassade gebildet. Ursprünglich sollte die aus Aluminium-Profilen und Glas gebildete Vorhangfassade keine Lasten aufnehmen, das Dach einzig auf den drei Lagern ruhen. Als nach dem Aufbringen und Aushärten des Betons das Formgerüst entfernt wurde, begann die Dachschale zu kriechen. Nach sechs Wochen hing die Dachkante schon bis zu 10 cm durch, mehr als dreimal so viel wie erwartet. Temporär musste ein Stützgerüst errichtet werden. Abhilfe verschafften vertikale Stahlträger, die auf der Innenseite der Vorhangfassade „versteckt“ angebracht wurden, und die einen Teil der statischen Lasten aufnehmen. Auf der tragenden Betonkuppel befand sich eine Deckschicht aus Leichtbeton, die durch die unkontrollierte Verformung der Schale Risse entwickelte, die zu langfristigen Problemen mit eindringendem Wasser führte. Die Kuppel steht auf einer kreisförmigen Plattform aus rotem Backstein und nimmt einen Konzertsaal (bzw. Hörsaal) mit 1.226 Sitzplätzen auf. Auf einer Ebene unter dem großen Saal befindet sich ein kleines Theater mit 177 Sitzplätzen, dazu Proberäume, Umkleiden und weitere kleinere Räume. Das Auditorium ist seitlich von einer leichten Konstruktion umgeben, die innen mit Sperrholz ausgekleidet ist. Die Vorhangfassade öffnet den Blick also nur auf die Lobby, schon aus akustischen Gründen wären die Glaswände als direkte Umbauung des Auditoriums ungeeignet. Die Decke des Auditoriums ist abgehängt, daran befinden sich wellenförmige Diffusoren.
