Hôtel de ville de Boston

L'hôtel de ville de Boston (Boston City Hall) est un bâtiment construit de 1963 à 1968 pour servir d'hôtel de ville à l'administration municipale de Boston, la capitale de l'État américain du Massachusetts. D'un point de vue architectural, ce bâtiment dessiné par Kallmann McKinnell & Knowles est composé de neuf étages et s'inscrit dans le mouvement brutaliste. En novembre 2008, un vote effectué en ligne par les lecteurs du site VirtualTourist.com place l'hôtel de ville de Boston en première position des édifices les plus laids du monde, juste devant la tour Montparnasse.

Бостонская мэрия

Бостонская мэрия (англ. Boston City Hall) — здание муниципалитета в центре города Бостона (штат Массачусетс, США). В ней размещаются городские органы самоуправления. В 1962 году был объявлен международный архитектурный конкурс проектов бостонской мэрии, проводившийся в два этапа. Из 256 конкурсных проектов победителем была признана модернистская работа архитекторов Герхарда Каллмана (профессора Колумбийского университета), Майкла Маккиннелла (аспиранта Колумбийского университета) и Эдварда Ноулза. Строительство началось в 1963 году и закончилось в 1968 году. В 1976 году в ратуше был устроен торжественный приём в честь английской королевы Елизаветы II. Здание монолитное, из бетона. В нём девять этажей. Оно разделено на три секции. Первые четыре этажа доступны для посторонних людей. Здание, являющееся ярким образцом стиля брутализм, стало объектом споров, не завершающихся и по сей день. Его неоднократно включали в перечни самых уродливых зданий мира и США. В муниципалитет поступали обращения горожан с требованиями сноса ратуши или постройки нового здания мэрии в другом месте. Здание вошло в список самых уродливых строений мира, заняв в нём первое место. Рейтинг был составлен по итогам голосования на сайте «Виртуальный турист» (2008). Примечания
Boston City Hall

Boston City Hall är en byggnad i den centrala delen av staden Boston i delstaten Massachusetts i nordöstra USA. Byggnaden uppfördes mellan åren 1963 och 1968 och fungerar som stadshus och säte för Bostons kommunstyrelse och ersatte en föråldrad byggnad som blivit för liten. Byggnaden ritades av arkitekterna och professorerna Gerhard M. Kallmann, Noel M. McKinnell, och Edward F. Knowles som alla var verksamma vid Columbia University. Arkitekturen är utförd i brutalistisk stil med blottade strukturer i betong, som i en sockel vid markplan klätts i tegel. Strukturen utgörs av modulelement i prefabricerad och platsgjuten betong, beroende på placering och funktion. I markplan är modulerna större och något oregelbundet placerade, för att möjliggöra öppna, flexibla ytor vilka delvis är öppna för allmänheten. Ovanför dessa finns administrations- och kontorsutrymmen och där blir strukturerna mindre och mer repetitiva. Planen är komplex, men i princip ortogonalt utförd och interiören präglas av träpaneler och golv i tegel. Det arkitektoniska uttrycket, som sägs ha hämtat inspiration från det samtida klostret Sainte Marie de La Tourette av Le Corbusier, har genom åren starkt kritiserats för att det inte knyter an till kringliggande byggnader och för att det fjärmar det lokala styret från allmänheten genom en monumental form. Samtidigt är byggnaden ett av Bostons starkaste landmärken och anses av många som ett av de bästa exemplen på amerikansk brutalism.

St. Frances X. Cabrini Church (Scituate, Massachusetts)

St. Frances X. Cabrini Church was a church located in Scituate, Massachusetts. It was part of the Archdiocese of Boston until 2004, when it was officially closed, along with several other Boston-area parishes. Its former parishioners began a new congregation within the building, holding a round-the-clock vigil while they appealed the closure to various authorities. The vigil ended on May 30, 2016. History The church was dedicated in 1961, its construction having been funded by local Catholics. It was named in honor of Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonized as a Roman Catholic saint In October 2004, the Archdiocese of Boston announced the closure of several parishes, including St. Frances X. Cabrini, citing a lack of available priests. Like parishioners from eight other now-closed churches, members of the congregation began a vigil, holding independent services on Sundays and taking turns living inside the church, so that it would never be empty. Over the years that followed, the other church vigils ended, by order of the Archdiocese of Boston, which owned the properties. The vigil at St. Frances became the only surviving church vigil from the 2004 closures. Parishioners set up a non-profit group, the Friends of St. Frances X. Cabrini, to advocate for themselves. In 2016, they appealed the closure to both the United States Supreme Court and Vatican leadership, but both declined the case. On May 16, 2016, the Archdiocese of Boston ordered the parishioners to vacate the building. The congregation therefore held its final service on May 29, agreeing to use the local Masonic center until an independent church can be built. In 2018, the building was sold to the St. Mary & St. George Coptic Orthodox Church. References External links
Veterans Memorial Stadium (Quincy, Massachusetts)

Veterans Memorial Stadium is a multipurpose outdoor stadium in Quincy, Massachusetts. Built from 1937 to 1938 under the Works Progress Administration, it seats 5,000 spectators for football, soccer, Rugby union and lacrosse. It is the home field of Quincy High School athletics, namely football and soccer, and the New England Free Jacks of Major League Rugby. The grounds have most notably held the annual intracity Thanksgiving Day Game between QHS and NQHS, dubbed by SI.com as one of the best in America, since 1932. The land the stadium sits on is part of Merrymount Park, which's was gifted to the city by the Adams family. The current stadium replaced a prior athletic field that was known as Pfaffman's Oval, a cinder dirt track with a large embankment on one side, which made for a natural amphitheater for spectators. After several attempts to fund the stadium failed, ground was broken in January, 1937. The stadium was opened on September 25, 1938, in a ceremony attended by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Throughout the 1960s, the Boston Patriots played several preseason intra-squad scrimmages for charity at the stadium. In 1976 it served as a home stadium for the Boston Minutemen of the North American Soccer League. The stadium underwent a $1.2 million renovation in 2006, including accessibility improvements and new synthetic turf as well as making the stadium usable as a lacrosse, rugby and soccer field, and another $1.5 million renovation in 2018, replacing bleacher seats with chair back seats, adding extra capacity and a large electronic video board. The stadium served as the home of the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse for the 2019 season. Due to COVID, the team played the entire shortened 2020 season behind closed doors at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, in which they would win the championship. The team was then absorbed by the barnstorming Premier Lacrosse League, for which a home stadium was no longer necessary. On June 28, 2021, the New England Free Jacks of Major League Rugby announced they were moving into the stadium starting with the final game of the 2021 MLR season. The stadium has been used since 2021 for the Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association State Finals for marching band. Notable events Rugby References

College of the Holy Cross

College of the Holy Cross es una universidad privada, católica, de la Compañía de Jesús, ubicada en Worcester (Massachusetts), Estados Unidos de América. Forma parte de la Asociación de Universidades Jesuitas (AJCU), en la que se integran las 28 universidades que la Compañía de Jesús dirige en los Estados Unidos. Su nombre tiene difícil traducción al español, debido a la complejidad del término college, Universidad de la Santa Cruz podría ser una traducción válida. En el sello de la institución figura su nombre en latín, Collegium Sanctae Crucis. Es la universidad católica más antigua de Nueva Inglaterra, y una de las más antiguas de la nación. Historia La universidad fue fundada en 1843 por el jesuita Benedict Joseph Fenwick, S.J., que era obispo de Boston. Su intención era crear la primera institución académica católica de enseñanza superior en Boston, pero el ambiente hostil a los católicos, y a los jesuitas en particular, por parte del protestantismo mayoritario en Boston hicieron que el obispo decidiese ubicarla a 45 millas (72 km) al oeste de Boston, para poder desarrollar en libertad la tradición educativa ignaciana, basada en el desarrollo de la dignidad personal, la búsqueda de la justicia, el compañerismo, y la reflexión. El lugar elegido, en Mount Saint James, era un colegio católico que había sido fundado en 1832. El día 2 de febrero de 1843, el Padre Fenwick escrituró la compra y fundó la universidad, a la que puso el nombre del principal templo de su diócesis, la Catedral de la Santa Cruz de Boston. Campus El campus es un arboreto registrado de los Estados Unidos que ha obtenido diferentes premios a nivel nacional. En 1977 la Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS) lo consideró el campus mejor cuidado del país. Ocupa 175 acres (más de 700.000 m²). Deportes Holy Cross compite en División I de la NCAA, en la Patriot League. Enlaces externos Web oficial

Weston station (Boston and Maine Railroad)

Weston station, also known as Weston depot, is a former railroad station in Weston, Massachusetts. Located at 55 Church Street in the Weston town center, it was originally built by the Massachusetts Central Railroad which constructed it in the board-and-batten style prior to the railroad's opening in 1881. By 1885 it was operated by the successor Central Massachusetts Railroad. The depot was initially located just west of two grade crossings, but was moved several hundred feet east along the track during a 1912 grade crossing elimination project by the Boston & Maine Railroad. The depot no longer had a station agent as of February 11, 1954. The structure was then closed to passengers, although the platform remained active. The building was reused by a news agency by 1962, by which time it and Kendal Green station had the same private owner. Boston and Maine Railroad service was subsidized by the MBTA and added to the MBTA Commuter Rail system in 1965. The station closed on November 26, 1971, when passenger service on the Central Mass Branch was terminated due to poor track conditions and low ridership. On June 10th, 1985 Weston was rented to Boston TV Channel 4 as the set for the final scene of an original drama, Tender Places. This episode of the For Kids' Sake series featured Jean Stapleton as a "kindly bag-lady", and premiered in December 1985. The station is located below grade, with a staircase leading from the Church Street overpass to the station. The station building and staircase were still extant as of 2018, and are still in disrepair. In 2019, a paved section of the Mass Central Rail Trail—Wayside was built over the section of the ROW the station was built to service. In 2022, Weston station was listed on the Massachusetts Most Endangered Historic Resources Program, in an attempt to identify preservation opportunities. In May 2025, a nonprofit Friends of the Weston Depot was formed, attempting to preserve the building and find a new use for it. The structure transferred to the ownership of the Friends of the Weston Depot on December 30, 2025.
