Post subject: | 1600's Graveyard in Manchester, Massachusetts |
THis is one of the older ones around where I live there isnt alot of history on this place, best I could find was this Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts (The Maritime Trail) The Manchester Village Historic District, in Manchester, is 39 acres in size, located on Route 127 in the center of town, in a rough arc around the head of the town's harbor. The buildings in the District represent an excellent sampling of virtually every major type of vernacular architecture from the 17th to the early 20th Century. Forster Cemetery, the Tappan Cemetery and the 1661 Cemetery, and also the Manchester Common, are the Village's main sites. Also included is the Trask House, home of the Manchester Historical Society. The District has 26 surviving Colonial and Georgian houses. Of the remaining houses, that of Dr. Joseph Whipple, built ca. 1765 at 8 Washington Street, remains the purest example of the Manchester version of "high style" Georgian architecture. Prosperity in 1-800-1812 fueled the rise of a monied class, and the town's appearance, particularly in the downtown area, was transformed by the construction of fine new houses. The Federal-style house built in 1804 for Israel Forster, a shoreman, is an excellent example of what money and taste could create in Manchester. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
