Framingham house fire displaces 3, sends 1 to hospital

Three people were displaced Monday, Nov. 9, in a single-alarm house fire in Framingham, authorities said. The cause of the 7:30 p.m. fire at 6 Phelps Road is not known, Fire Chief Michael Dutcher said in a release. Three adults were displaced in the fire. One was taken to a local hospital with chest pains, Dutcher said. Dutcher said the fire was quickly knocked down, but the damage was such that the residents would need to find alternative housing. “Our firefighters did an outstanding job quickly knocking down this fire and bringing the situation under control,” said Dutcher. “Their training, professionalism and quick response were critical in addressing the emergency.” According to the city’s Assessor’s Database, the 54-year-old split level home is owned by Carlos Leon and Maria Vasquez. The assessed value of the home is $583,400. The fire was just one of 50 calls firefighters responded to on Monday, Dutcher said in the release. More: Study finds Framingham MA Fire Department is 'greatly understaffed' “Responding to 50 calls in a single day demonstrates the demands placed on our firefighters and the important role they play in protecting our community,” he said. The fire remains under investigation. Norman Miller can

New England's Most Famous College Town Is Home To 'The Ugliest Building In America'

New England is famous for its fall foliage, Colonial architecture, and institutions of higher education. Massachusetts, in particular, is a major post-secondary hub. It's home to the Five Colleges of the Pioneer Valley, the colleges of greater Boston, and Cambridge, which is home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT is considered one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, and has been located at its current campus since 1916, amassing an impressive collection of buildings designed by famous architects like I.M. Pei, Eero Saarinen, and Frank Gehry. One that has attracted controversy is Simmons Hall, an undergraduate residence hall that won the 2025 Aesthetic Atrocity Award for "the ugliest building in America." Bestowed by The Architectural Uprising, an international group of architects and urbanists in favor of traditional architecture, the nod is meant to raise awareness of what they deem the blight of Modernism.
