Scope and Content Note: The collection documents the daily work of numerous nineteenth-century Boston photographic firms from the 1860s into the early twentieth century. It is comprised primarily of portraits depicting everyday citizens who may or may not be identified based on inscriptions present on the cardstock. The collection provides valuable information concerning important photographic patents and innovations, Victorian fashion, and studio furniture. A significant portion of the collection includes inscriptions containing information identifying the sitter, their age, relationship to the family, and date the photograph was taken. The photographs contain the photographer’s stamp on either the recto or verso of the cardstock and occasionally include advertising and/or decorative designs. Historical Note: This collection was used in the research and subsequent publication of A Directory of Massachusetts Photographers: 1839-1900, an important reference book in the field authored by Ronald Polito and Chris Steele.

  • 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.

  • RE: Suffolk University IMPNFIPNF Submission
    10/25/2019 City of Boston Mail - RE: Suffolk University IMPNF/PNF Submission - TASK FORCE COMMENT Edward Carmody <edward.carmody~boston.gov> RE: Suffolk University IMPNFIPNF Submission - TASK FORCE COMMENT 1 message Ernani DeAraujo Fri, Oct 25, 2019 at 9:39 AM To: Edward Carmody <edward.carmody~boston.gov> Hi Eddie. I write this note in support of Suffolk University’s proposal for the former Ames Boston hotel. Creating managed living space for university students is a very good use for this building and will have multiple benefits for the city of Boston including: relieving pressure on nearby residential housing; providing students with a safe, up-to-code, living experience; and preserving an architecturally impressive facade that might otherwise fall into disrepair. The Suffolk team has been very thoughtful around managing impacts with respect to transportation and tenants. In particular, the adaptation for student use should relieve some traffic congestion from the area and the concentration of students in the building should liven up the nearby streetscape and promote further investment in that area. Finally, Suffolk University has been a good neighbor and partner for the neighborhood of East Boston and I believe will be a good neighbor to the surrounding area on Court Street. Thank you for your consideration. Ernani J. DeAraujo, Esq.

  • Weight and Height Restrictions That Impact Truck Travel
    ON REG ST IO O N B BOSTON REGION METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION M Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary and CEO and MPO Chair E N T R O I Karl H. Quackenbush, Executive Director, MPO Staff O T P A O IZ LMPOI N TA A N G P OR LANNING TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM DATE: December 21, 2017 TO: Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization FROM: William S. Kuttner RE: Weight and Height Restrictions that Impact Truck Travel 1 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents information about bridges in the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) area that have signs restricting the weight or height of vehicles permitted to pass over or under them. MassDOT personnel monitor these weight and height restrictions, along with a bridge’s physical condition, or rating, and summarize them as inspection reports in MassDOT’s internal database. However, the physical condition or rating of bridges is not the direct concern of this study. The concern of this study is that truck restrictions cause trucks that are otherwise fully compliant with Massachusetts and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) size guidelines to use more circuitous routes than necessary to reach their various commercial destinations. Forced circuitous truck travel increases expenses for freight carriers and customers, increases the total environmental impact for a given level of freight traffic, and increases the negative impacts on local residents and communities. This study characterizes the severity of height and weight restrictions on trucks in the MPO region. The information developed will be used to evaluate projects considered for inclusion in two MPO planning documents: the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
