Reginald A. Fessenden House
The Reginald A. Fessenden House is a historic house at 45 Waban Hill Road in the village of Chestnut Hill in Newton, Massachusetts. It was the residence from 1919 to his death in 1932 of the inventor Reginald A. Fessenden (1866–1932), called "the father of radio broadcasting," because he was the first to broadcast the human voice and music by radio. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 in recognition of Fessenden's accomplishments.
Ditmar Meidell
On 1 January 1855, "Krydseren" ended and in its place came the newspaper "Aftenbladet". Meidell edited the newspaper together with Børge Hjelm, then with Ole Richter, then with Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. Bjørnson did not last for long in "Aftenbladet" because of political differences, but wrote in 1870 that Meidell was "the finest and wittiest pen" in Norwegian journalism. From 1860 to 1879 Meidell was the sole editor. However, his successor J. Sandberg soon died, and Meidell was again editor from 1880 to 1881, when the newspaper became defunct. From 1884 to 1885 Meidell published a periodical named "Norsk Maanedsskrift for Literatur, Kunst og Politik". Despite that "Krydseren" and "Aftenbladet" were liberal-leaning, "Norsk Maanedsskrift" has been called a "Conservative reply to Ernst Sars' "Nyt Tidsskrift"". Meidell was also head librarian at the Deichman Library from 1884 to 1898.
