Description Condition Check one Check one .^excellent deteriorated unaltered _J^L original site good ruins _vl altered moved date fair unexposed Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance There are five Richardson buildings in this historic district: the Oliver Ames Free Library, the Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, the Gate Lodge at Langwater, the Gardener's Cottage at Langwater, and the Old Colony Railroad Station. The boundaries encircle the contiguous Library and Memorial Hall, and Rockery in front, the two structures at Langwater, and the third boundary description is for the railroad station. A great deal of the visual impact of North Easton is also due to the genius of the great American landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted. The village of North Easton has a collection of works by Henry Hobson Richardson largely due to the patronage of one resident-manufacturing family— the Ames. The town depended on this family's manufacture of shovels and tools and was built radiating from the core of factories and railroad station to a ring of workers houses to finally the larger estates on the outer edges. The town today still retains its orderly village aspect. The Richardson Buildings; 1. Oliver Ames Free Library (1877-1883) Although the Library was commissioned in September, 1877, the building did not open until 1883, possibly because of cost overruns. The final cost including the building, the furnishings, the books and investments in a permanent fund, was more than $80,000. A brief description follows: Richardson's design for the Ames Library is basically rectangular in plan with the major rooms, the stack wing, hall, and reading room, arranged longitudinally. A broad gable projects forward from the north end of the longitudinal mass. This gable is marked by the arched entry to the outside porch on the first floor and by a row of five arched windows separated by pairs of short columns supporting the arches on the second. The stack wing windows form a horizontal band, each group of three separated by four short columns. Construction is of warm light brown Milford granite laid in random ashlar with dark reddish brown Longmeadow brownstone trim. The roof is red-orange tile over a wood barrelvaulted stack wing ceiling. The fireplace in the reading room is largely the work of Stanford White. The original stone and present bronze medallions of Oliver Ames II were designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. In 1931 the children's wing in red brick was added to the rear, an addition that eliminated the original lavatory and document room. Additional shelv­ ing has been incorporated in the original stack wing to accommodate a greater number of acquisitions.l Originally, the stack wing was divided by an open wooden screen of beaded spindles which was later moved to give free access to the stack shelves. 8.

Henry Hobson Richardson, one of this country's greatest architects and Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), the preeminent landscape architect of the era worked together under the patronage of the unusual family that turned a small iron foundry into a shovel manufactory that produced great wealth. In a short eight years this small industrial village became a beautifully coherent planned town containing several of the century's architectural landmarks. The town, itself, is located on the rapid Queset River which supplied waterpower to a series of small mills. In 1803, Oliver Ames moved from Bridgewater and began to manufacture shovels in the factories he built on the banks of the river. In the period of railroad and canal expansion which followed, Ames pro­ spered by supplying digging and trenching equipment. In 1844 his sons Oakes (1804-1873) and Oliver II (1807-1877) assumed management of the company. They also became involved in railroads beginning in 1855, and were major suppliers of trenching tools to the Union Army in the Civil War. Later they helped finance and construct the Union Pacific Railroad. 9 The California Gold Rush brought further business to the shovel factory and enormous profits came to the Ames family. Oakes Ames served in the United States Congress from 1862 until his death in 1873. In 1865 Ames was drawn with his brother Oliver into the Credit Mobilier, a company formed to finance the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. In the profit taking scandals that ensued, the Ames were embroiled in a factional dispute and, as a result, Oakes Ames career as a politician was over. In retrospect, both Ames brothers were typical businessmen of the 19th century—perhaps over zealous, but not corrupt. They were both vindicated and a monument at the highest point on the Union Pacific line was erected to them by the railroad at Sherman Summit, Wyoming. It was designed by Olmsted & Richardson. The children of the two brothers were the patrons of Richardson and Olmsted: Oakes son, Oliver II, who became governor of Massachusetts, gave the Memorial Hall money in memory of of his father and funds for the Library and Oliver's children, Helen Angier Ames and Frederick Lothrop Ames who saw the projects through. F. L. Ames was a Harvard graduate (1854), along with Charles Gambrill, later Richardson's partner. 9. Major Bibliographical References See Continuation Sheet 10.

  • Dupont Heritage Plan
    1 DuPont Heritage Plan Presented to the City of DuPont By the DuPont Historical Society 2014 “In a nutshell, planning is the process of figuring out where you want to go, evaluating where you are now, and identifying how you can reach your destination……. Susan L. Henry Renaud, Preservation Planning, National Park Service 2 Introduction Historic places are important to every community. In an age of change, they help provide a sense of needed continuity. Indeed, they greatly contribute to a sense of place which can unite residents. Also historic places, when properly presented, can attract tourists to a town. This would naturally benefit the local economy. The City of DuPont is blessed with many significant historic places. They include both buildings and sites. Together these places tell the amazing story of the DuPont area. This story began with the Nisqually Indian occupation of the land. It continued with the Euro-American explorers of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Then the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company in the 19th Century established a sequential series of trading posts called Fort Nisqually that changed life forever in the Southern Puget Sound region. Encounters with Native Americans, Missionaries, and American Settlers brought cooperation and conflict. The Medicine Creek Treaty and Puget Sound Indian War shifted the power to the Americans and their homesteads. Change came again in the early 20th Century when the DuPont Company bought land and set up an explosives factory. The Company employees and their families were first housed in temporary tar paper shacks, but soon the historic village of DuPont took shape.

    NE/SAH New England chapter, Society of Architectural Historians P.O. Box 51284 | Boston, MA 02205 nesah.org December 18, 2020 Tina McCarthy, Preservation Planner Brookline Preservation Commission Via email: [email protected] RE: 25 Cottage Street and 222 Warren Street The New England chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians (NE/SAH) strongly urges the Brookline Preservation Commission to impose a delay on the demolitions of both 25 Cottage Street and 222 Warren Street. As the home and sometimes office of architect Henry Hobson Richardson during the most important part of his too brief career, 25 Cottage Street is of an importance that needs no explanation to the members of your Commission. The role of the house and site in Richardson’s career exactly parallels that of the nearby “Fairsted,” a National Historic Landmark now operated as the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site to interpret the career of Richardson’s sometimes collaborator. In addition, 25 Cottage Street is one of a handful of surviving examples of the rare, so-called Jamaica Planter style of early 19th century summer houses that are almost unique to Brookline – another example being Isabella Stewart Gardner’s Green Hill, which stands between 25 Cottage Street and Fairsted in the Green Hill Historic District. If 25 Cottage Street were in Boston or Cambridge, it would certainly be considered for landmark status; in addition to its individual importance, 25 Cottage Street is identified as a property of “major historical significance” in the Green Hill Historic District. The loss of 25 Cottage Street would have a negative effect on the community’s historic character.

  • THE AMES FAMILY of Easton., Jmassachusetts
    THE AMES FAMILY of Easton., JMassachusetts BY WINTHROP AMES PRIVATELY PRINTED 1938 THE AMES FAMILY of easton,, .5Massachusetts A QUITE UNNECESSARY PREFACE HIS LITTLE BOOK (AND STILL, PERHAPS, TOO LONG AT T that) has been written for my daughters, my brother and sister, and my favorite cousins, nephews and nieces of the Easton branch of the Ames family - and for them only. It is too personal a story to interest outsiders. To the members of my own generation I make no ex­ cuse for it. We have grown old enough to learn that our forebears still live on in us; that we owe most of our qual­ ities, aptitudes and weaknesses to them as truly as we do the color of our eyes or the shapes of our noses. They molded our characters by tradition and example. They speak to us daily from the fields they tilled, the shops, homes and memorials they built and the trees tLey planted. But to the youngsters, now so eagerly peering forward into the future that they are impatient of things past, I shall also give this book. Some day when they come to realize that they too are only ancestors, leading their children by the hand, as their parents led them, into the brief spotlight we call life, and then bidding them good-bye as these children will ag~in lead and bid good-bye to others, they may care to glance back at a few of the folk who marched before in the same endless procession. One of my daughters came back from school the other day full of scorn for history because it was only about "old dead people fighting." I should agree, my dear, if by V "fighting" you mean merely military battles, most of which have left no durable result and only clogged the march of human progress.

  • HH Richardson and the Golden Section Proportions in His Architecture
    1 © RICHARD BROWN 2 H. H. Richardson and the Golden Section Proportions in his Architecture Richard L. Brown In a discreet corner beside the entrance to Austin Hall (1881-1884) at Harvard University stands a small rectangular plaque carved with the initials of the building's architect, Henry Hobson Richardson. But also hidden in the design are geometric patterns that are significant clues to Richardson's design methodology (See Figure #1 and Photo #10). The plaque itself measures about one foot by two and a half feet and is placed about six feet off the ground to the left of the three entrance arches. Along with Richardson's initials there is hewn a curvilinear design interwoven with a triangle and a circle, a set of proportional scaling dividers, and crossed architectural dividers. At the outside edge of the plaque carved spirals articulate six focus points. Intriguingly, when one puts together these different elements, the plaque defines the essence of the Golden Section proportioning system and some of its basic permutations that Richardson used throughout his career. Since Richardson himself wrote so little about his architecture, it is interesting to find such a critical and revealing statement actually carved in one of his building with his own initials. This article will examine proportions in the design of Richardson's buildings and attempt to understand the importance he placed on proportions as a tool in the design process. To do this I will give a basic explanation of the Golden Section and how Richardson revealed it in the Austin Hall plaque. Then after a brief historical view of proportions and how Richardson started to use them, I will do a detailed building analysis of proportional uses in one of Richardson's smaller buildings, the Crane Library (1880-1882).
