Reference excerpt

The Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall is an historic building located at 95 Washington Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. It was originally built in 1888 as the First Presbyterian Church, on land purchased from Marcus Morton, and now houses professional offices. It was for many years home to the William H. Bartlett GAR Post No. 3 of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans organization, which ran the building as a community center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Description and history Lothrop Hall is located at the northeast corner of Washington and Governor Streets, a short way north of the Taunton's center. It is a two-story fieldstone building, adorned with a variety of Queen Anne style elements, including a wood latticework screen, brackets and ornamental balustrade on top of its square tower, which projects from the right front of the west-facing front facade. The building was erected in 1888 by the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church, on land it had purchased from Marcus Morton, a prominent local jurist. The church was dissolved in 1903 amid financial difficulties, and the building was sold to Cyrus Lothrop. He donated it to the Massachusetts Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), an organization of veterans of the American Civil War. It was one of 210 GAR posts in Massachusetts. The hall was used for many years as a site for social events and military remembrances. After standing vacant for some years, it was rehabilitated in 1983 for use as professional offices.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall

In research: Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1888 establishments in Massachusetts, Buildings and structures completed in 1888, Clubhouses on the National Register of Historic Places in Massachusetts, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lothrop Memorial Building-G.A.R. Hall outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
