Hyde House (Newton, Massachusetts)

The Hyde House is a historic house located at 27 George Street in Newton, Massachusetts. Description and history It is a 2+1⁄2-storey Greek Revival house, with a sidehall plan and a columned porch that wraps around two sides of the house.

The area where it stands was held in the Hyde family for eight generations, until George Hyde sold the remaining farmlands for development in the late 19th century.

John Humphreys House

The John Humphreys House, also known as Sir John Humphreys House, is a historic house museum located in Swampscott, Massachusetts. Although it was long thought to be associated with John Humphrey, an early deputy governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it was more likely built about 1700, based on architectural analysis. In 1641 Deborah Moody bought the Humphrey house (which he called Swampscott) and 900 acres when the Humphreys returned to England giving her over 1300 acres of what would become Swampscott, Massachusetts. The house was originally located on what is now Elmwood Road (a plaque marks the site), but moved to its current location in 1891 as the Olmsted district was developed. It is currently owned by the Swampscott Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

John Quincy Adams Birthplace

The John Quincy Adams Birthplace is a historic house at 141 Franklin Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. It is the saltbox home in which the sixth United States President, John Quincy Adams, was born in 1767. The family lived in this home during the time John Adams helped found the United States with his work on the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolutionary War. His own birthplace is only 75 feet (23 m) away, on the same property. Both houses are National Historic Landmarks, and part of Adams National Historical Park, operated by the National Park Service. Construction history The house is a 2+1⁄2 story wood frame saltbox style house, sheathed in wooden clapboards. There are two main rooms, one on either side of a central chimney, on each of the two floors, and there are two further rooms in the lean-to section on the first floor. 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. A similarly treated entrance is located at the southeast corner of the building. The house was built in 1717, with the rear lean-to added later. This house was purchased in 1744 by Deacon John Adams, and was probably enlarged by him, adding the rooms on the other side of the chimney. He gave the house to his son, the future second president, in 1761. The younger John Adams moved into the house in 1764; it was around this time that the lean-to was added, as well as the door trim and the secondary entrance. Later history John and Abigail Adams made the house their home until 1783, after which it was rented to tenants. John Quincy Adams purchased both this house and the neighboring birthplace of his father in 1803, and lived in this house from 1805 to 1807. The houses were rented to tenants until 1885, at which time much of the surrounding land was sold off. In 1895 Charles Francis Adams, Jr. authorized the Quincy Historical Society to use the house as its headquarters. The house was sold to the City of Quincy in 1940, which continued to rent it to the Historical Society. On December 19, 1960, the birthplace was designated a National Historic Landmark. The border of the national historic landmark includes both houses and a park area. The two houses are now part of the Adams National Historical Park, and are operated by the National Park Service. The elder Adams' later mansion, called Peacefield, is a few miles away, as are the graves of both presidents and their wives in the United First Parish Church. The Abigail Adams Cairn, atop a nearby hill from which Abigail and the 7-year old John Quincy Adams watched the Battle of Bunker Hill and the burning of Charlestown, is also of interest. All are open to the public. In popular culture The home was prominently portrayed during the first few episodes of John Adams, a 2008 American miniseries.

Дом рождения Джона Куинси Адамса

Дом рождения Джона Куинси Адамса (англ. John Quincy Adams Birthplace) — дом-музей, в котором родился 6-й президент США Джон Куинси Адамс, расположенный в городе Куинси, штат Массачусетс. Семья Адамсов жила в этом доме в то время, когда Джон Адамс помогал основать Соединённые Штаты, работая рад Декларацией независимости. Его собственное место рождения находится всего в 23 метрах от данного дома, на том же участке. Дом представляет собой 2-этажную деревянную каркасную конструкцию, обшитую деревянной вагонкой. На каждом из двух этажей есть две основные комнаты, по одной по обе стороны от центрального камина, и ещё две комнаты в пристройке на первом этаже. Главный фасад имеет ширину в три пролёта с входом в центре. Проём обрамлен пилястрами и увенчан антаблементом и треугольным фронтоном. Аналогичный вход находится в юго-восточном углу здания. История Дом был построен в 1717 году. Этот дом был куплен в 1744 году дьяконом Джоном Адамсом и, вероятно, был расширен им, добавив комнаты по другую сторону дымохода. Он передал дом своему сыну Джону, будущему второму президенту, в 1761 году. Адамс-младший переехал в дом в 1764 году. Примерно в это же время была добавлена обшивка, а также обшивка дверей и второй вход. Джон и Эбигейл Адамсы владели данным домом до 1783 года, после чего он был сдан в аренду арендаторам. Джон Куинси Адамс приобрёл этот дом и соседнее место рождения своего отца в 1803 году и жил в этом доме с 1805 по 1807 год. Дома сдавались в аренду арендаторам до 1885 года, когда большая часть окрестных земель была продана. В 1895 году Чарльз Фрэнсис Адамс-младший разрешил Историческому обществу Куинси использовать дом в качестве штаб-квартиры. В 1940 году дом был продан городу Куинси, который по-прежнему сдавал его в аренду Историческому обществу. 19 декабря 1960 года дом был объявлен национальным историческим памятником США. 15 октября 1966 года дом был добавлен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Два дома Адамсов, в частности особняк Писфилд, в настоящее являются частью Национального исторического парка Адамса, управляются Службой национальных парков и открыты для экскурсий. Примечания

Loring–Greenough House

The Loring–Greenough House is the last surviving 18th century residence in Sumner Hill, a historic section of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, a neighborhood of Boston. It is located at 12 South Street on Monument Square at the edge of Sumner Hill. It is situated on the border of two National Historic Districts (Sumner Hill and Monument Square). This mid-Georgian mansion was built as a country residence and farmstead in 1760 for wealthy British naval officer Commodore Joshua Loring on the original site of John Polley's estate established in the 1650s. Originally, the Loring–Greenough house was situated on an 80-acre (320,000 m2) estate. Loring, a Loyalist prior to the American Revolution, abandoned the house in 1774, just prior to the conflict, and he fled from Boston in 1776. The house was confiscated by colonial forces and in 1776 served as a headquarters for General Nathanael Greene and, soon after, a hospital for Continental Army soldiers following the Battle of Bunker Hill. In 1780, the house was sold to Isaac Sears, the rebel leader from New York, and was then purchased in 1784 by Ann Doane, a rich widow, who soon after married David Stoddard Greenough. General William Hyslop Sumner married the widow of David Stoddard Greenough II (Maria Doane Greenough) in 1836 and by the late 1850s the process to subdivide the estate and farmland had begun. The Greenough descendants lived here for five generations until 1924. At that time the Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club (until 1993 a ladies'-only club and today a community group) purchased the house, along with almost two acres of landscaped grounds, to preserve it and save it from development. The Loring–Greenough House is a very well preserved structure of almost 4,500 square feet (420 m2), on property that includes sweeping lawns, historic flower beds, handsome trees, and the two-and-one-half-story house itself. The property is fenced and gated; the public is invited to enjoy the grounds during daylight hours, and to attend events inside and outside the House throughout the year. The Tuesday Club has been careful to preserve the house and grounds over many decades. The most recent restoration occurred with a $350,000 grant and included painting and other repairs. The Loring–Greenough property is still owned and operated by the Tuesday Club, which offers tours on Sundays and other programming and events throughout the year. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated both a Massachusetts Landmark and a Boston Landmark by the Boston Landmarks Commission in 1999.
