  • A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ
    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL AND THE GREAT ORGAN by Ed Sampson, President, Methuen Memorial Music Hall, Inc. 2018 Few instruments in the history of pipe organs in America have had as long, or as distinguished, a career as the Boston Music Hall Organ. The first concert organ in the country, it remains today one of the outstanding organs in America. The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of the Harvard Musical Association, founded in 1837 (Henry White Pickering (1811-1898), President) on January 31, 1851. A "Music Hall Committee", comprised of members Robert East Apthorp (1812-1882), George Derby (1819-1874), John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893), Charles Callahan Perkins (1822-1886), and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham (1820- 1902), was appointed to address the matter. The Boston Music Hall was built in 1852 by the Boston Music-Hall Association, founded in 1851 (Jabez Baxter Upham, President) and by the Harvard Musical Association, that contributed $100,000 towards its construction. It stood in the center of a block that sloped downward from Tremont Street to Washington Street; and was between Winter Street on the south and Bromfield Street on the north. Almost entirely surrounded by other buildings, only glimpses of the hall's massive granite block foundation and plain brick walls could be seen. There were two entrances to the Music Hall: the Bumstead Place entrance, (named after Thomas Bumstead (1740-1828) a Boston coachmaker), off Tremont Street (later Hamilton Place) opposite the Park Street Church; 1 and the Central Place or Winter Place (later Music Hall Place) entrance off Winter Street.

  • New England Effects from the Hurricane Sandy Hybrid Storm
    New England Effects from the Hurricane Sandy Hybrid Storm Weather Synopsis Sandy, a hybrid storm with both tropical and extratropical characteristics, brought high winds and coastal flooding to southern New England. Easterly winds gusted to 50 to 60 mph for interior southern New England; 55 to 65 mph along the eastern Massachusetts coast and along the I-95 corridor in southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island; and 70 to 80 mph along the southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island coasts. A few higher higher gusts occurred along the Rhode Island coast. A severe thunderstorm embedded in an outer band associated with Sandy produced wind gusts to 90 mph and concentrated damage in Wareham early Tuesday evening, a day after the center of Sandy had moved into New Jersey. In general moderate coastal flooding occurred along the Massachusetts coastline, and major coastal flooding impacted the Rhode Island coastline. The storm surge was generally 2.5 to 4.5 feet along the east coast of Massachusetts, but peaked late Monday afternoon in between high tide cycles. Seas built to between 20 and 25 feet Monday afternoon and evening just off the Massachusetts east coast. Along the south coast, the storm surge was 4 to 6 feet and seas from 30 to a little over 35 feet were observed in the outer coastal waters. The very large waves on top of the storm surge caused destructive coastal flooding along stretches of the Rhode Island exposed south coast. Sandy grew into a hurricane over the southwest Caribbean and then headed north across Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas.

  • THE IMPACT of the GASPEE AFFAIR on the COMING of the REVOLUTION, 1772-1773 by LAWRENCE JOSEPH Devaro, JR
    THE IMPACT OF THE GASPEE AFFAIR ON THE COMING OF THE REVOLUTION, 1772-1773 by LAWRENCE JOSEPH DeVARO, JR. Webmaster's note on the digital presentation of THE IMPACT OF THE GASPEE AFFAIR ON THE COMING OF THE REVOLUTION, 1772-1773: The following work was scanned from previously copied images into PriMax PrimaPage98 OCR software, then transferred into Microsoft Word97. In so doing, some scanning errors are inevitable, particularly with small font footnote text. The original page numbers have been preserved for use by future researchers; however, long footnotes have been completed into their page of origin, and most quotations occurring across page breaks have been moved in their entirety into the subsequent page on which the original footnote mark is presented. While the author, Dr. DeVaro, has been given the opportunity to review and correct this scanned work, some human error in the transfer to the e-edition is probable. The original work is to be found at the library of Case Western Reserve University Scanning completed in May 2005 by the Gaspee Days Committee. Copyright, 1973, 2006 Lawrence J. DeVaro While Dr. DeVaro has graciously allowed the Gaspee Days Committee to present this digital edition of his work onto the Internet, he alone retains all rights to use.

  • Universal Penman NEWSLETTER of the PROVIDENCE ATHENÆUM
    Universal Penman NEWSLETTER OF THE PROVIDENCE ATHENÆUM FOSTERING CREATIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT THROUGH POETRY & PROSE This year’s Poetry and Prose Project, created with Not About the Buildings, Writers in the Schools, and other community collaborators, encompassed three participatory activities – the Philbrick Poetry Project, Micro-Memoir!, and the Read Aloud - designed to foster poetry and prose as living, accessible art forms. Each activity brought together people of diverse ages to write, read, and be read to. In February we met for the first of our Micro-Memoir! events, which was open to all ages; in March we hosted a marathon reading of William Maxwell’s classic novel, So Long, See You Tomorrow; in April the Philbrick Poetry Project Reading, including a workshop for School One high school students, took place (see below); and in May we hosted our second Micro-Memoir! event, with Tina Cane, founder of Writers in the Schools, bringing a group of her Central Falls High School students to the Athenaeum to work on memoirs with micro- fiction pioneer and poet Karen Donovan. All the activities were supported in part by a grant from the RI State Micro-Memoirists from Central Falls High School with Tina Kane and Karen Donovan Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the RI General Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Philbrick Poetry Project is also supported in part by the Philbrick family and donations to the Philbrick Poetry Project Fund. Lunch for the students of Central Falls High School was graciously donated by Maria Meza and her son Joaquin Meza, Jr., owners of El Rancho Grande Restaurant.
