# Daytshmerish

Daytshmerish (Yiddish: דײַטשמעריש) is a Yiddish term for Germanized variant or orthography of Yiddish. Daytshmerish Yiddish is spelled and enunciated as אידיש, idish instead of יידיש, yidish.

## History

The term was coined in the 19th century to describe the style of Yiddish spoken by educated German speakers in a derogatory manner. Educated Jews saw Yiddish as a lower-class jargon (זשאַרגאָן‎, zhargon) language that could be 'improved' by inserting German terms.
According to the Yiddish scholar Dovid Katz, "prejudices and misconceptions" concerning Yiddish were promulgated by both antisemites and well-meaning Jewish assimilationists during the 19th century, who both regarded Yiddish as a degenerated form of German. According to Katz, critics of Yiddish often highlighted the German, Slavic, and Hebrew syncretism of Yiddish to allege that the language was impure and corrupted.
Sholem Aleichem is widely credited with elevating the prestige of Yiddish language as a cultured language in its own right.

Extending roughly along Water and Church Streets between the Naugatuck River and Prospect Street, the district includes factory and commercial buildings, as well as the former Torrington Fire Department Headquarters and the civic Knights of Pythias building. Developed between about 1885 and 1920, the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

## Description and history

The Naugatuck River, where it passes through what is now downtown Torrington, was long recognized as a potential source of industrial power, and was first dammed for a sawmill in 1751. Water Street is an early road, joining that sawmill in the west to Main Street in the east. The city's major industries in the 19th century came to be the rolling of brass and the manufacture of brass objects. Growth was spurred by the arrival of the railroad, and in 1857 Charles Hotchkiss established a lumber parts mill, which eventually became a major manufacturer of window sashes and blinds. Although Water Street was at first lined with a combination of houses and commercial buildings, it was transformed into a primarily commercial and industrial area between about 1880 and 1920. The present streetscape is largely the product of that period, altered in part by the loss of some of the industrial buildings to fire and flood.
The historic district is abutted on its eastern end by the Downtown Torrington Historic District. Its southern boundary is the Naugatuck River, extend from the railroad bridge west and northerly to Church Street. It includes a few buildings on Church Street, as well as Railroad Square, which is bounded on the north by Mason Street.

# Watkins House and Cabins

The Watkins House and Cabins are a history property at the junction of Raymond Cape Road and United States Route 302 in Casco, Maine. The property exemplifies the adaptive alteration and reuse of properties for different purposes over a 200-year period in southern Maine. The property is 13 acres (5.3 ha) in size, much of which is now woodland and pasture. The developed portion of the property includes two houses, one of which dates to the early 19th century, a barn, and three small cabins, as well as the remains of a carriage factory. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

## Description and history

The early history of this property is not known in detail. The main house is a five-bay, 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a central chimney and a side-gable roof. The Federal styling of some of the trim and interior woodwork suggests an early 18th-century construction date, but the early owners of the property are not known. The first documented owner, William Hill, probably acquired the property in the late 1830s, and added the Greek Revival entry surround. A recessed ell extends to the right of the house, joining it to a late 19th-century barn. Hill probably also built at least a portion of the ell, which in 1880 did not extend as far as the barn standing then, which was destroyed by fire in 1883. Hill was a dairy farmer, raising cows and sheep.
At the northwestern corner of the property stands a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house, presumed to have been built by Clark Watkins not long after he purchased the land (a parcel abutting Hill's) in 1837. Watkins's widow Mary acquired the Hill farm in 1876, and moved into its larger house, renting the Cape to tenants. In 1877 Sumner Watkins, the son of Mary and Clark, established a carriage factory on the Hill property, at a site across Raymond Neck Road from the main house. This marked the beginning of a shift away from agricultural uses of the property, although the Watkinses did continue to produce dairy products and apples into the 20th century. The carriage factory operated until 1907, and the building was torn down in the 1930s.
In the 1920s Charley Watkins (1889-1974) adapted the property for use as a summer rental site. In addition to the 1837 Cape, he built a small office and eight cabins, which were, according to his advertising, equipped with heat and open all year. He also offered space for trailers, and rented rooms in the main house, taking advantage of Maine's improved road systems and the rise of leisure travel by automobile. The property declined after the realignment of US 302 in the 1950s, which took land and eliminated one of the property's wells. All but three of the cabins were torn down in the 1980s.
The property is now protected by a conservation easement.
# James Porter (New York politician)

Porter was a member of the New York State Assembly and was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Fifteenth Congress (March 4, 1817 – March 3, 1819). He was not a candidate for renomination and resumed the practice of law. He served as a surrogate of Onondaga County, then moved to Albany and served as a register of the court of chancery until his death there on February 7, 1839. His interment was in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
# Waumbek Cottages Historic District

The Waumbek Cottages Historic District encompasses a collection of high-quality summer resort houses in Jefferson, New Hampshire. Located on Cottage Road and Starr King Road, these six "cottages" are all that survive of a large late-19th century resort complex that once included a hotel and eleven cottages. All are fine examples of Shingle style architecture, with Queen Anne style touches. The district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, and the six cottages were individually listed in the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in 2005.

## Description and history

The town of Jefferson, founded in 1796, became recognized as a tourist destination in the mid-19th century, in part through the writings of Unitarian minister Thomas Starr King. He convinced a local hotelier to build a larger hotel, called the Hotel Waumbek, in 1860. The availability of railroad transportation greatly increased the tourist trade in subsequent decades, and the hotel was repeatedly enlarged. By the 1890s it was one of the state's grand hotels, with 500 rooms.
During the 1880s, a trend began in these resort properties to build separate houses for some of the hotel guests, and other long-time guests also purchased adjacent properties from real estate promoters to build their own, while taking advantage of the hotel's amenities. At the Hotel Waumbek, these trends resulted in the construction of eleven separate "cottages" near the hotel between 1889 and 1900. A major fire in 1928 destroyed the hotel and three cottages, two more were demolished later in the 20th century.
The historic district is located on Cottage Road and Starr King Road, on the southern flank of Mount Starr King north of U.S. Route 2 and just east of the village center of Jefferson. The landscape and setting feature views of the White Mountains to the south. The cottages are surmised to have been designed, based on similarity to other work, by Alfred Barlow, who designed a major addition to the hotel. All of the cottages are in the Shingle style, with Queen Anne style porches.
The district's six cottages were added to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places on October 31, 2005: Bashaba (14 Starr King Road), Beit-el-Hakeen / The Birches (25 Cottage Road), Onaway (18 Cottage Road), The Bungalow (38 Starr King Road), Wayonda (36 Cottage Road), and Wyndybrae (13 Cottage Road).
