<p>The DeFreest Homestead is a historic house and barn located in the Rensselaer Technology Park in North Greenbush, New York, United States. The homestead and surrounding land are owned and managed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It was the original home of Philip DeFreest, one of the first Dutch settlers to arrive in the mid-18th century. The land includes historic buildings typical of a working Dutch farm: a farmhouse restored in 1984 to house the park&#39;s administrative offices, and a Dutch barn.</p><br>
<p>The DeFreest House was built around 1765, partially constructed of European brick used as ballast in Dutch fur trading ships that sailed up the Hudson. Between 1630 and 1850, Dutch barns dominated the landscape in the Hudson Valley. They were distinguished by their H-shaped structural frame. The DeFreest barn was constructed around 1820 of thick, 50-foot beams of hemlock more than a hundred years old when hewn, and wood re-used from earlier structures on the site. The house and surrounding homestead were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The DeFreest Homestead has been the interest of honorary trustee C. Sheldon Roberts (RPI class of 1948), and wife, Patricia. Roberts was one of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor.</p><br>
<p>A donation from the Roberts family allowed for a renovation to make the historic barn into a modern classroom for local schoolchildren.</p><br>
<p>Patricia Roberts recalls, “I can remember first seeing the DeFreest House at the end of a muddy path and realizing that it must be saved in order to preserve our past but also, as importantly, to become the centerpiece of the Technology Park. We also recognized that the nearby Dutch barn could serve a similar purpose by preserving some of its history and giving it a new purpose — to become a launch pad for our children’s future.”</p><br>

<p>The Clematis Street Historic Commercial District is a USA historic district  located in West Palm Beach, Florida. The district runs along the 500 Block of Clematis Street. It contains 12 historic buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Early in the history of West Palm Beach, Clematis Street (then Clematis Avenue) became the citys "Main Street", with several businesses located along the east end of the street by the mid-1890s. While the eastside of Clematis Street grew rapidly into the 1900s decade, it would not be until the 1910s when commerce began expanding westward across the Florida East Coast Railway. A city directory from 1916 indicates that several grocery and mercantile businesses and homes existed in the 500 block of Clematis Street section. The Campbell Building, located at 535 Clematis Street, opened in January 1918 and is the oldest surviving structure in the district. Five stores soon occupied the first floor of the Campbell Building. The Fashion Store opened at 502 Clematis Street in November 1918, although it was demolished prior to the areas designation as a historic district. By 1919, The Palm Beach Post frequently reported on real estate speculation within Clematis Street&#39;s 500 block, with property prices rapidly increasing. Near the end of the year, Raymond C. Ketcham opened a dry goods store at 522 Clematis Street.</p><br>
<p>By 1920, prices for front property along the west end of Clematis Street averaged $400 per foot. Soon, decreasing construction costs and a land boom allowed property prices to continue to soar. The western portion of the street had become a "very desirable place to live and work" by the early 1920s, with the section possessing its own electrical and ice plants while also being located near the water and gas plants. The decade saw the completion of 10 out of 12 of the districts contributing properties, including Gruners Department Store in 1920, St. James Rooming House and the W.E. Pope Building in 1921, Hotel Clematis and Suther&#39;s Market in 1922, the Jennings Building in 1924, the Sirkin Building in 1925, Sewell Hardware and 540 Clematis Street in 1928, and 517-519 Clematis Street in 1929. However, the end of the land boom and the beginning of the Great Depression left nine buildings vacant in the 500 block of Clematis Street alone by the end of the year. More buildings were vacated and construction along Clematis Street ceased as economic turmoil persisted.</p><br>
<p>A number of buildings in the 500 block of Clematis Street were demolished through the late 1990s. This included every building east of 513 Clematis Street, all structures west of 533-535 Clematis Street, and the building situated between 528-530 Clematis Street and 540 Clematis Street. On October 8, 1998, the Clematis Street Historic Commercial District officially became a listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), with 12 structures at the 500 block of Clematis Street being considered contributing and another being non-contributing. Two other structures have been demolished since the area was listed on the NRHP in 1998 &ndash; Hotel Clematis at 512 Clematis Street and Gruner&#39;s Department Store at 516 Clematis Street.</p><br>

<p>The Granite Trust Company is a historic commercial building at 1400 Hancock Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Art Deco building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, constructed in 1929, and is ten stories tall. It was built for the Granite Trust Company , whose predecessor, the Quincy Stone Bank, was the community&#39;s first commercial bank. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Granite Trust Company building stands prominently in Quincy&#39;s downtown, at the southeast corner of Hancock and Chestnut Streets. The ten-story structure is faced in limestone and granite, and consists of a large base three stories in height, from which the central tower rises, the topmost levels stepped back in size from the intermediate ones. The ground-level storefronts are finished in granite, while the upper levels are finished in limestone. While it has some decorative elements, including panels of decorative stonework, most of its style comes from its vertically-oriented massing, including pilasters between some of the bays on the lower section, and the flattened pyramidal caps at their tops.</p><br>
<p>The Quincy Stone Bank was founded in 1836, and was the citys first commercial bank. It was notable at the time as the first commercial bank in the nation to raise capital via a public stock offering. In 1865 it received a national charter, and was reincorporated in 1912 as the Granite Trust Company. The bank commissioned the construction of this building, completed in 1929, as its headquarters. The building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, Boston architects credited with a number of Quincys high-profile buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Glover House is a historic house located at 249 East Squantum Street in Quincy, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story timber-framed house was built in 1798, and is one of Quincy&#39;s few well-preserved Federal style houses. An addition was added to the rear in the late 19th century, and a Greek Revival style porch and door surround were added (the latter replacing an earlier Federal surround). The land the house was built on was in the Glover family for 280 years.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Fore River Club House is a historic club house at Follett and Beechwood Streets in Quincy, Massachusetts. It is a long -story wood-frame structure, with rectilinear eyebrow dormers on the water-facing roof.

It was acquired by the city in 1925, and is now a community center.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Belcher-Rowe House is a historic house at 26 Governor Belcher Lane in Milton, Massachusetts. Built in 1776-1777 by the widow and daughter-in-law of former colonial governor Jonathan Belcher, it is Milton&#39;s first known example of Federal style residential architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Belcher-Rowe House stands in what is now a residential area of East Milton, on the east side of Governor Belcher Lane. Its main block is a two-story frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. Its north and south elevations are symmetrical, with central entries flanked by two bays of sash windows. The doorways are framed by sidelight windows and flat pilasters, with a Greek Revival cornice above. Greek Revival molding runs below the roof soffit. A single-story frame addition extends west from the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1776-1777 on land that had been purchased in 1727 by Jonathan Belcher, who served as colonial governor 1730-1741. Belcher gave the old homestead on that property to his son Andrew at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Teale, daughter of the elder Belchers second wife Maria Louisa Emilia Teale. The old homestead burned in January 1776. Construction of this house (which preserves part of the foundation of the original homestead in its basement) was complicated by the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, and was not completed until 1777. Elizabeth Belcher sold the house to merchant John Rowe in 1781, and it remained in the Rowe family until 1940. Notable among Rowes descendants who lived here was Mary Phillips Webster, who performed important early research documenting the importance of the Suffolk Resolves.</p><br>
<p>The Blue Hills State Police Barracks is on Hillside Street in Milton, Massachusetts. It houses the police and patrol offices of the Blue Hills Reservation, a Massachusetts state park administered by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation . Built in 1904 by the DCR predecessor Metropolitan Parks Commission, it is one of several buildings designed by Stickney & Austin as the demand for services in the park increased in the early 20th century. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Blue Hills Headquarters on September 25, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The police barracks stand among a cluster of four buildings making up the headquarters area of the Blue Hills Reservation on the northwest side of Hillside Street in southern Milton. It is a</p><br>
<p>long -story Cape-style structure built out of Quincy granite and covered by a gabled roof. The long axis of the building is oriented perpendicular to the street, with the building facing toward the Metropolitan District Commission Stable, another Stickney & Austin design. It is eight bays across and three deep, and its roof line is pierced by eight evenly spaced gable dormers and two chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan Parks Commission (MPC) was established in the late 19th century to manage and develop public parklands in the Greater Boston area. The Blue Hills Reservation was one of its largest properties, and it became a popular destination for passive and active recreation. In order to properly manage the reservation, the MPC (which was later renamed the Metropolitan District Commission or MDC) commissioned Stickney & Austin, prominent Boston architects, to design the main elements of its headquarters complex. These included the stable and the superintendent&#39;s house, as well as the present building, which housed its constabulary headquarters. The building has always served as a police facility, housing MPC/MDC police before the agency was consolidated into the Massachusetts State Police in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Blue Hills Parkway is a historic parkway that runs in a straight line from a crossing of the Neponset River, at the south border of Boston to the north edge of the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1893 to a design by the noted landscape architect, Charles Eliot, who is perhaps best known for the esplanades along the Charles River. The parkway is a connecting road between the Blue Hills Reservation and the Neponset River Reservation, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The parkway&#39;s northern terminus is a six-way intersection in southern Mattapan, a neighborhood in the far south of Boston. The junction includes River Street (which passes through the intersection), Cummins Highway, Blue Hill Avenue, and the access road for the Mattapan MBTA station. Both Blue Hill Avenue and the parkway are designated Massachusetts Route 28 at this intersection. The parkway almost immediately crosses the Neponset River and then into Milton. Brush Hill Road branches west, and Blue Hill Avenue branches to the southwest (designated Massachusetts Route 138), and a short distance later Brook Road carries the Route 28 designation off to the east. It passes through a residential area, crosses Pine Tree Brook, and soon reaches its southern terminus, a rotary intersection (this is not a rotary any longer, it is a regular 4-way intersection with overhead stoplights as of at least 2015) with Canton Street and Unquity Road (the latter being listed as part of the Blue Hills Reservation Parkways). The parkway is about 1.5 mi long.</p><br>
<p>The parkway was laid out in 1894, and was one of the first connecting parkways designed by Eliot and the Olmsted Brothers. Land acquisition began in 1896, and construction took place in 1898. The Neponset River bridge was built 1901-03 Its major features include the Neponset River bridge, a granite-faced triple arch structure carrying six lanes of traffic. The complex of junctions on the south side is landscaped with a series of median islands and miters. The roadway is eight lanes in this area, allowing for turning lanes, and there is a c. 1823 granite mile marker in the grassy area on the west side of the roadway. South of the Truman Parkway interchange the road becomes six lanes, which reduce to five (two south and three north) after the Brook Road junction. The roadway for the southern stretch is canopied by trees that line the center median strip and the sides.</p><br>
<p>Brookwood Farm is a historic farm on Blue Hill River Road in Canton, Massachusetts. Some of its fields, but none of the buildings, are in Milton. It is owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>Its oldest building, the Old Barn was built in 1690. The Cape Cod style house located on the street was built in 1800. The larger house, set about 1,500 feet (500m) back from the street, converted from a hunting lodge in 1954, has been considered for a Governor&#39;s Mansion. There are also several outbuildings. All of the buildings, except the Old Barn, are suffering from a lack of funding for their upkeep.</p><br>
<p>The farm comprises about 70 acres (30ha), about half in woods and the balance in fields. There are three ponds. It is bounded on the south by Route 128 / I-93, on the east by residences, on the west by property owned by Meditech and on the north by Blue Hill River Road (which is called Hillside Street in Milton). Across Blue Hill River Road is Great Blue Hill.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Its historical owner was General Samuel Parker, best known for his role in suppressing the 1919 Boston Police strike.</p><br>
<p>The farm&#39;s most recent private owner was Henry Saltonstall Howe, an insurance executive, who bought it in 1951, built the house, and lived there as a bachelor gentleman farmer until his death in 1994. He had donated the property to the state with a life estate in 1976, so on his death it passed to the management of the Metropolitan District Commission which later became the Department of Conservation and Recreation.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, the DCR granted a permit to Brookwood Community Farm, Inc., a non-profit, to organically farm 1 acre for food and flowers. That has continued through 2010.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980. The barn was added separately at the same time.</p><br>
<p>The Brush Hill Historic District is a residential historic district along Brush Hill Road in Milton, Massachusetts. First developed in the 1660s, the district now encompasses a diversity of rural-suburban residential architecture from the late-17th to mid-29th centuries, encapsulating the development of the town&#39;s predominantly residential character. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Brush Hill Road is one of Milton&#39;s oldest roads, probably beginning as a Native American path prior to the arrival of English colonists. It extends across the top of Brush Hill a low rise of land between the larger Blue Hills to the south and the Neponset River to the north. Milton was a part of Dorchester until 1662, and the Brush Hill area was one of the last areas to be allocated by the early colonists, in 1660. The area remained generally agrarian, while other parts of Milton began to develop a more suburban residential character in the 19th century. The arrival of improved transportation beginning in the mid 19th century brought the development of summer estates in the Brush Hill area, and the subdivision of properties closer to the Neponset River for residential development. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of the farm and estate properties were further subdivided, creating the suburban residential character seen today.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends on the north side of Brush Hill oad from Dana Avenue to Brush Hill Lane, and on the south side from Bradlee Road to Robbins Street. The district includes a representative cross-section of residential development from c. 1670 to the late 1940s, and includes Milton&#39;s oldest house, the Robert Tucker House, at 678 Brush Hill Road.</p><br>
<p>The Eliot Memorial Bridge is a footbridge which was built in 1904 in memory of Charles Eliot, landscape architect to the Metropolitan Park Commission. It is located on the Skyline Trail near the summit of Great Blue Hill in the Blue Hills Reservation, south of Boston, Massachusetts. Eliot was a driving force in the establishment of many of the Greater Boston area&#39;s early parks, including the Blue Hill Reservation. The bridge was built out of locally quarried granite, and completed c. 1905–06. Built into its structure are a bench and commemorative plaque. The bridge, which crosses a small ravine, is a remarkably large and sturdy structure for the location.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is in neighborhood to the Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, near the 635 ft summit of Great Blue Hill, a few hundred yards from and a little below the Great Blue Hill Weather Observatory, which is at the top of the mountain. The view from the observation tower toward the Observatory and its forest of radio, TV, and microwave antennas, is obscured by trees.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Gov. Thomas Hutchinson&#39;s Ha-ha is a historic ha-ha at 100–122 Randolph Avenue in Milton, Massachusetts, United States. Probably built about 1771, it is the only surviving structure of the once-extensive estate of Thomas Hutchinson, the last civilian colonial governor of the British Province of Massachusetts Bay, and one of the few examples of an early ha-ha in North America. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and is a contributing property to the Milton Hill Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>A ha-ha is a sunken wall which permits unblocked views, while still serving functions of a wall such as delineating a border or preventing livestock from accessing portions of a larger estate. This ha-ha, which is of modest size, is located on the grounds of St. Michaels Church at 100 Randolph Avenue, approximately one block from Governor Hutchinsons Field, a property of The Trustees of Reservations that was also once part of Hutchinson&#39;s estate. The ha-ha is marked by a descriptive sign.</p><br>
<p>The ha-ha is about 120 ft long, and is in appearance a stone-lined ditch 6 ft wide and 4 ft deep, running roughly north-south. One side of the ditch is slanted and lined with puddingstone. The top of the slant is finished with cut granite blocks. The ha-ha originally lined the western edge of Hutchinson&#39;s formal garden; this garden survived into the 20th century, but a house has since been built on the site.</p><br>
<p>The ha-ha was constructed by then-Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson, probably about 1771. It was around this time that Horace Walpole published a book which contained a detailed description of ha-has and their function enhancing the aesthetics of large estates.</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan District Commission Stable is a historic stable on Hillside Street in Milton, Massachusetts. Built around the turn of the 20th century, it is part of a headquarters complex designed by Stickney & Austin for the Metropolitan Parks Commission  when the Blue Hills Reservation was being developed for recreational use. The building is a good example of Shingle style architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The MDC stable is located on the south side of the Blue Hills, on the north side of Hillside Road in Milton east of Massachusetts Route 138. It is part of a suite of buildings, three of which were designed by Stickney & Austin for use in park administration. The other Stickney & Austin buildings are the superintendents residence and the Blue Hills Headquarters building, which now serves as a police barracks. The fourth building is a Cape style house which housed the MPCs district office; it pre-existed construction of the other buildings.</p><br>
<p>The stable is a large two-story gable-roofed structure, set on an rise above Hillside Street, Due to the sloping terrain, an exposed stone-walled single-story section stands between the road and the main structure; this part is topped by a hip roof and features an entry near its center, sheltered by an arch and gable. The main portion of the structure is basically rectangular, with a slightly projecting cross gable at the northeast end, giving it a slight L shape. The northeast facade features a garage entrance with a half-round window above. The northwest facade has three wide gables with doorways at the second level providing bulk access to the second level, and small square or rectangular windows providing illumination to the lower level. The southwest facade is similar to that in the northeast, except it has a more elaborate window treatment above the garage entry.</p><br>
<p>The stable was built either in 1899 or 1908, when the park was being developed for more active recreational use. The stable was intended for use by the Metropolitan District Commission Police and the Massachusetts State Police mounted units. In 2004, the mounted units were disbanded and the stable was emptied. Although mounted units were reinstated in 2008, there were no plans to stable them here.</p><br>
<p>A 2007 study identified significant issues with the structure that would need correction before it could again be used to stable horses. Repairs were made in 2014-15, but (as of 2017) additional work was still required, and the building was used for storage.</p><br>
<p>Milton Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 211 Centre Street in Milton, Massachusetts. Established in 1672, it is the town&#39;s only municipal burying ground. There are three distinct sections to its 102 acre grounds: the original burying ground, a tract of 3 acre which was in use between 1672 and 1854, a "new" section, laid out in 1854 in the rural cemetery style which was fashionable in the 19th century, and a "modern" section, established in 1945.</p><br>
<p>It was founded in 1672 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Among those interred in the cemetery are:</p><br>
<p>Dennis Miller Bunker, American Impressionist Painter</p><br>
<p>James A. Burke, United States Representative from Massachusetts</p><br>
<p>Elbie Fletcher, Major League Baseball player</p><br>
<p>Edward A. Gisburne, United States Navy sailor and Medal of Honor recipient</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel Carl Goodwin, actor and vaudevillian</p><br>

<p>Steve Trapilo, player in the National Football League</p><br>
<p>Paul H. Weinert, United States Army soldier and Medal of Honor recipient</p><br>
<p>The Milton Centre Historic District encompasses the traditional civic heart of Milton, Massachusetts. The district is located on Canton Avenue between Readsdale Road and Thacher and Highland Streets, and includes municipal buildings, churches, and residences, most built in the 18th or 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Milton Centre is located on a prominence known local as Academy Hill. The town was settled in 1633 as part of Dorchester, and was separately incorporated in 1662. Its first meetinghouse was built on Milton Hill, but Academy Hill was selected in 1727 (after many years of controversy) as the site of the towns third meetinghouse. The fourth meetinghouse, built in 1788, is now the First Parish Church, and is the oldest surviving building in the center. The towns economic activity was focused along the Neponset River, and the town center remained relatively rural until the 19th century, when Milton Academy was founded and located on land to its east. This was joined by the First Congregational Church in 1834, and a new town hall in 1837. The site of that town hall is where the present town hall (built 1970) is located.</p><br>
<p>The historic district consists of eleven historically significant buildings, set on about 23 acre of land bisected by Canton Avenue, between Readsdale Road and Thacher and Highland Streets. The districts civic buildings also include the town library, and two of its oldest surviving fire station buildings, including a rare example of an early chemical fire engine house. It also includes an 1811 powder house, which stored munitions during the War of 1812, and monuments commemorating the towns contributors to national efforts in the American Civil War and World War I.</p><br>
