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.

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.
