"As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children."
-- John Adams (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, and Founding Father who served as the second president of the United States from 1797 to 1801)

"John Adams" (Lourdes Umerez, 2011), Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Bilbao es un municipio situado en el norte de España y una villa de dicho municipio, capital de la provincia y territorio histórico de Vizcaya, en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco. La villa de Bilbao es la capital y única localidad del municipio, y con 346 843 habitantes según el padrón de 2019, es la urbe más poblada de la comunidad autónoma, siendo la cabecera del área metropolitana de Bilbao, una conurbación de más de 1 000 000 de habitantes que se extiende a lo largo de la ría de Bilbao o del Nervión.

Desde su fundación, a finales del siglo XIII, fue un enclave comercial que gozó de particular importancia en la cornisa Cantábrica gracias a los privilegios concedidos por la Corona de Castilla que permitieron el desarrollo de una gran actividad portuaria que se basaba principalmente en la exportación de la lana procedente de Castilla y en menor medida del hierro extraído de las canteras vizcaínas. A lo largo del siglo XIX y principios del XX experimentó una fuerte industrialización que la convirtió en el epicentro de la segunda región industrializada de España, por detrás de Barcelona. Esta estuvo acompañada de una extraordinaria explosión demográfica y urbanística que originó la anexión de varios municipios colindantes. En la actualidad es una pujante ciudad de servicios, que se encuentra en un proceso de revitalización estética, social y económica liderado por el simbólico Museo Guggenheim Bilbao.
El 19 de mayo de 2010, la ciudad de Bilbao fue reconocida con el premio Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, otorgado por la ciudad estado de Singapur.

One of the main entrances to the United First Parish Church in Quincy, MA . . . otherwise known as the "Church of the Presidents". The Church's Greek Revival design was built using granite donated by John Adams and completed in 1828, though it was the congregation's fourth home .
Like their ancestors, both Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams were life-long members of the Church. Their tombs stand in a crypt within the church, beside those of their wives, Abigail and Louisa Catherine. Also, the Patriot John Hancock was baptized in this church by his father, the Rev. John Hancock, who served here as minister from 1726 to 1744.
Hopetoun House near Queensferry, West Lothian, Scotland, is a country house owned by the Hopetoun House Preservation Trust, a charity established in 1974 to preserve the House and Grounds as a national monument and to protect and improve their amenities, and to preserve for the benefit of the nation the furniture, paintings, manuscripts and other articles of historical or artistic interest associated with the House. The south wing of the house is occupied by the family of The 4th Marquess of Linlithgow as their family home. The house was built 1699-1701 and designed by Sir William Bruce. The house was then hugely extended from 1721 by William Adam until his death in 1748, being one of his most notable projects. The interior was completed by his sons John Adam and Robert Adam. The magnificent entrance hall dates from 1752. The Hope family acquired the land in the 17th century and operated lead mines. Charles Hope, the first occupant, was only 16 years old when his mother, Lady Margaret Hope, signed the contract for building with William Bruce, on 28 September 1698. The master mason is noted as Tobias Bachope of Alloa. The plumber and glazier was John Forster of Berwick. The house was the site of the departure of the visit of King George IV to Scotland on the 29th August 1822 and the knighthood of Captain Adam Ferguson and Henry Raeburn. The English garden style landscape park in which it lies were laid out in 1725, also by William Adam. The east front centres on the distant isle of Inchgarvie and North Berwick Law. The walled garden dates from the late 18th century. In the grounds an 18th-century mound was excavated in 1963 to reveal the remains of the earlier manor house, Abercorn Castle, dating from the 15th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopetoun_House

Front door to the preserved home which was the birthplace of John Adams who would become one of the Founding Fathers, patriot, signer to the Declaration of Independence, the first U.S. Vice-President and second President. Today it is part of the Adams National Historic Park in Quincy, MA.
John continued living here after marrying Abigail, their farmland surrounding this area near the foot of Penn's Hill. It is said that Abigail walked up Penn's Hill with her young son, John Quincy, to watch the burning of Charlestown after the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. And of even greater significance, in present day this house is just a block down the street from the Dunkin Donuts where I regularly purchase a coffee ;-)

As a rule I'm not necessarily a big sepia fan, but I was having some fun with this one. This is the Adams House in Quincy, MA, or “Peacefield,” as John Adams called it. John and his wife, Abigail, resided here from 1787 -1826 (although four of those years he was the U.S. President). Four generations of Adams family members lived in this house until 1927. The property became a National Historic Site in 1946. Today it is part of the Adams National Historic Park which attracts in excess of 160,000 visitors per season.
Adams Family Home, first occupied by former President John and wife Abigail Adams, part of the Adams National Historical Park in Quincy, MA. Currently closed for the season.
The United First Parish Church is a Unitarian Universalist congregation in Quincy, Massachusetts. The church was completed in 1828.
It is called the Church of the Presidents because two American Presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, attended the church along with their wives, Abigail Adams and Louisa Catherine Adams.
The pew in which they sat is marked with a plaque and ribbon on the side.
All four are interred beneath the church in a family crypt.
Being the second U.S. President's home town, John Adams is a big deal in Quincy, MA. This mural of Adams was painted on one side of the former F.W. Woolworth building in Quincy Center. The mural, one of two, was done to draw attention to a pop-up art gallery set up inside. Alas, none of this will be around for long as the building is scheduled for demolition in the near future.
Built by a Native American Culture or a migrant European population? No one knows for sure. A maze of man-made chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places, America's Stonehenge is most likely the oldest man-made construction in the United States (over 4000 years old).
The Adams National Historical Park is in Quincy, MA. It includes the birthplaces of both John and John Quincy Adams and their later home.
In 1788, the Adams moved into a larger house known as the Old House or Peacefield. The house was built in 1731 by Leonard Vassall.
Peacefield was John Adam’s home during his presidency and where he lived during retirement. It became the residence of the Adams family for four generations from 1788 to 1927.
We visited the national park in July 1984.

“It will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.”
– John Adams (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, and Founding Father who served as the second president of the United States from 1797 to 1801)
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence to announce the colonies' separation from the Kingdom of Great Britain and establishing the United States of America. This is the 'it' reference in John Adam's quote above...the thing to be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (like fireworks) forever! Happy 4th of July!!
This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!
