Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensively illustrated, comprehensive exploration of the architecture and development of Old Cambridge from colonial settlement to bustling intersection of town and gown. Old Cambridge is the traditional name of the once-isolated community that grew up around the early settlement of Newtowne, which served briefly as the capital of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and then became the site of Harvard College. This abundantly illustrated volume from the Cambridge Historical Commission traces the development of the neighborhood as it became a suburban community and bustling intersection of town and gown. Based on the city's comprehensive architectural inventory and drawing extensively on primary sources, Building Old Cambridge considers how the social, economic, and political history of Old Cambridge influenced its architecture and urban development. Old Cambridge was famously home to such figures as the proscribed Tories William Brattle and John Vassall; authors Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and William Dean Howells; publishers Charles C. Little, James Brown, and Henry O. Houghton; developer Gardiner Greene Hubbard, a founder of Bell Telephone; and Charles Eliot, the landscape architect. Throughout its history, Old Cambridge property owners have engaged some of the country's most talented architects, including Peter Harrison, H. H. Richardson, Eleanor Raymond, Carl Koch, and Benjamin Thompson. The authors explore Old Cambridge's architecture and development in the context of its social and economic history; the development of Harvard Square as a commercial center and regional mass transit hub; the creation of parks and open spaces designed by Charles Eliot and the Olmsted Brothers; and the formation of a thriving nineteenth-century community of booksellers, authors, printers, and publishers that made Cambridge a national center of the book industry. Finally, they examine Harvard's relationship with Cambridge and the community's often impassioned response to the expansive policies of successive Harvard administrations.

Book excerpt: Why and how Boston was transformed by landmaking. Fully one-sixth of Boston is built on made land. Although other waterfront cities also have substantial areas that are built on fill, Boston probably has more than any city in North America. In Gaining Ground historian Nancy Seasholes has given us the first complete account of when, why, and how this land was created.The story of landmaking in Boston is presented geographically; each chapter traces landmaking in a different part of the city from its first permanent settlement to the present. Seasholes introduces findings from recent archaeological investigations in Boston, and relates landmaking to the major historical developments that shaped it. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, landmaking in Boston was spurred by the rapid growth that resulted from the burgeoning China trade. The influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century prompted several large projects to create residential land—not for the Irish, but to keep the taxpaying Yankees from fleeing to the suburbs. Many landmaking projects were undertaken to cover tidal flats that had been polluted by raw sewage discharged directly onto them, removing the "pestilential exhalations" thought to cause illness. Land was also added for port developments, public parks, and transportation facilities, including the largest landmaking project of all, the airport. A separate chapter discusses the technology of landmaking in Boston, explaining the basic method used to make land and the changes in its various components over time. The book is copiously illustrated with maps that show the original shoreline in relation to today's streets, details from historical maps that trace the progress of landmaking, and historical drawings and photographs.

Book Synopsis Manufacturing Buildings in Massachusetts by : Callie Traynor
Download or read book Manufacturing Buildings in Massachusetts written by Callie Traynor and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturing buildings are found in most towns and cities in Massachusetts. Standing in dominant isolation, or as part of an urban district, their presence is the built testimony to the role manufacturing played in so many lives. Machinists working in the mills produced technical innovations that were exported throughout the world. It is a tribute to the builders of those mills that today people in some of the same buildings are still manufacturing with "high" technology. Yet manufacturing is becoming work that fewer of us are employed to do in our economy. Some compare this to the decline of the farm as a source of livelihood a century ago. The results show up in an unfortunate parallel between unemployed workers and manufacturing space. This thesis started from the proposal that these buildings are a resource that can be modernized for further manufacturing use as part of a community effort to create more jobs. Evaluating the proposal entailed an investigation into the existing market for this type of building, how efforts to expand that market have worked, how existing firms locate their production space, and the changes in design criteria for manufacturing buildings. The proposal contains some implicit values that have been traditional ones in Massachusetts: that older things built well are worth using; and that as a commonwealth if we lose the pride of skilled production, or fail to share it among ourselves, we have lost a legacy that has been ours, and our future will become less certain.
