dbo:abstract
  • Das William Rotch, Jr. House, heute das Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum ist eine National Historic Landmark (NHL) in der County Street 396 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Die drei Familien, deren Namen mit dem Haus verbunden sind, hatten alle enge Beziehungen zu der Walfangvergangenheit, die die Stadt im 19. Jahrhundert dominierte. Aus diesem Grund ist das Haus auch Bestandteil des New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. Richard Upjohn erbaute das Haus 1834 im Stil des Greek Revival für William Rotch, Jr. auf einem Grundstück in New Bedford, das Rotch von seinem Vater geerbt hatte. Es handelte sich um das erste von Upjohn gebaute Haus am Beginn einer langen Karriere. Rotch hatte auch einen Garten hinter dem Haus in Auftrag gegeben, der von den späteren Eigentümern allerdings wesentlich verändert wurde. Das Anwesen blieb bis 1981 im Privatbesitz, als es eine Gruppe örtlicher Denkmalschützer kaufte und anschließend als historisches Museum der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte. Es wurde im Jahre 2005 zu einer NHL und damit in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Das Museum belehrt die Besucher nicht nur über den Walfang, sondern auch über die Umwelt und bezieht den Garten mit ein. Für die örtlichen Schulen gibt es integrierte Programme. (de)

The three families whose names are attached to it were all closely tied to the city's nineteenth-century dominance of the whaling industry. Because of this, the house is part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. Richard Upjohn built the house in the Greek Revival architectural style for William Rotch Jr. in 1834, on a New Bedford plot Rotch had inherited from his father. It was Upjohn's first house, near the beginning of a long career. Rotch also commissioned a garden in the rear, which later owners would significantly expand. The property remained private until 1981, when it was bought by local preservationists and reopened as a historic house museum. It was declared a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today the museum educates visitors not only about whaling but, through its gardens and associated programs for local schools, about the environment as well. (en)
