Three-part windows stand at the second and third level above the entrance, with a pair of gabled dormers piercing the roof.The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

The Rumney Marsh Burying Ground is a historic cemetery on Butler Street between Elm and Bixby Streets in Revere, Massachusetts. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It was the first burying ground of an area that now encompasses Revere as well as neighboring Chelsea and Winthrop.The land was originally owned by Samuel Cole. In 1654 William Hasey purchased it; his descendants sold it to Joshua Cheever, Esq. in 1740. Cheever and the town of Chelsea (of which Revere was still part) agreed on March 7, 1743 that the land would be a burying place and he deeded it to the town on December 8, 1751.Prior to the establishment of this burying ground, people who lived in the area were buried in Boston's Copp's Hill Burying Ground. After a smallpox epidemic swept the city in 1690, Boston officials ordered that its victims north of the Charles River be buried "on that side of the Water". Some victims of this epidemic may have been the first burials at Rumney Marsh. The first documented burial was that of Mary Smith, wife of John Smith, in 1693. The last burial was in 1929.The cemetery is notable for containing the graves of sixteen Black individuals, some free and some enslaved, whose burials are documented in part by an 1897 map of the site. Two plaques stand along the Northern wall of the cemetery providing the names, dates of death, and approximate ages of these individuals, as well as some of the names of their enslavers. Most are buried along the Northern wall. However, according to a 1938 book called "The History of Revere" by Benjamin Shurtleff, three — Job Worrow (a veteran of the Revolutionary War serving under Captain Samuel Sprague, who is also buried in the Rumney Marsh Burying Ground), Betty Worrow, and Fanny Fairweather — are buried in the Southeast corner. Although none of these individuals' graves are marked, Fanny Fairweather is reported by Shurtleff to have had a monument with the inscription "Fanny Fairweather, died 1845, age 80, a native of Africa."Since many of the burials were in the 18th century, the cemetery is exemplary of funerary art during the colonial period. For example, many of the slate gravestones feature a skull and wings motif. Two gravestones have been specifically identified as the work of carver Joseph Lamson (1658-1722); that of Mary Cutler (died 1703), and that of John Winthrop's son Deane Winthrop (died 1703/4). Work by stone carvers Robert Fowle and Richard Adams can also be found among the graves.People buried in the cemetery include: Deane Winthrop, son of John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Deane Winthrop's House, also on the National Register, is nearby in Winthrop. Phillips Payson, the fighting pastor, hero of the Battle of Lexington Sixteen enslaved and free Black people Veterans of the Colonial, Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil Wars.

Forbes Park is a multi-use development in Chelsea, Massachusetts. It comprises 17 acres (69,000 m2) along the Chelsea River and Mill Creek. It will include around 300 hybrid lofts with retail and creative commercial space. The primary power source will be a 600 kW wind turbine and solar arrays generating over half of the site's power. Rain will be harvested in over 1,000,000 gallons of broad, open canals to supply water for the toilets. One very uncommon, but historically proven efficiency feature is the use of passive cooling. There is no air conditioning in the buildings. They all have special windows creating air scoops and the building and units have been designed to amplify the natural air flow to cool the units even on humid days.

The Columbus Monument is a monument by the sculptor Alois G. Buyens depicting Christopher Columbus, commissioned by members of the Boston-area Catholic community in 1892. It is one of the first statues that the Belgian-born Buyens created after coming to America in 1892 and opening a studio in Boston. The monument was to be installed at La Isabella to mark the site of the first Catholic Church in the Americas. A copy of the monument was installed in Boston. The Boston version was moved several times, and it is now located in front of the Saint Anthony of Padua Church in Revere, Massachusetts.

Wonderland Greyhound Park is a closed greyhound racing track located in Revere, Massachusetts formerly owned by the Westwood Group. It was constructed on the site of the former Wonderland Amusement Park. Wonderland opened on June 12, 1935, and formerly offered 361 races during its 100-day, April to September racing period. As a result of a statewide ban on dog racing which took effect on January 1, 2010, the track offered only simulcast wagering, but completely closed its doors on August 19, 2010. The track laid off the remaining 75-80 workers and closed its doors after Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick vetoed a gaming bill that could have allowed the park to add slot machines. With the end of its greyhound racing, Wonderland formed a partnership with nearby Suffolk Downs horse track to build a casino on the site, but this plan also allowed the option of the track being redeveloped for commercial or mixed uses.
