It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • Rochester Avon Historical Society Research Reports
    Rochester Avon Historical Society Research Reports Research Report #3 Lysander Woodward Residence May 2010 rev. June 2011 Rochester Avon Historical Society Rochester, Michigan www.rochesteravonhistoricalsociety.org Lysander Woodward Residence 1385 North Main Street Rochester, Michigan written by Deborah J. Larsen for the Rochester Avon Historical Society research team: John Crissman, James Hopkins, Deborah Larsen May 2010 rev. June 2011 Table of Contents I. Introduction II. Lysander Woodward biography III. Children of Lysander Woodward IV. Subsequent ownership Bibliography Appendix Endnotes Introduction The Lysander Woodward residence located at 1385 North Main St., Rochester, Oakland County, Michigan was originally built as the family home of one of Rochester's pioneer era farmers and most prominent citizens. The house is believed to have been built between 1845 and 1850 and remained in the control of the Woodward family until 1933. It numbers among the oldest structures in the City of Rochester and may be, arguably, the oldest building within the current city limits, predating even the 1849 Rollin Sprague Store/Home Bakery building (National Register Information System #99000474). May 2010 / Lysander Woodward Residence / Deborah J. Larsen / 2 The house is a Greek Revival gable front and wing arrangement. The earliest available image of the building is an engraving of it which appeared in the 1877 Durant history of Oakland County. This image, and a photograph taken of a portion of the front of the house in approximately 1895 reveal that the columned porch that currently extends along the entire front of the building is a revision and that the original porch was a much more modest feature that extended along the wing section only.

The estate is on the high ridge that forms the northern edge of Georgetown. Dumbarton Oaks Park, which was separated from the formal gardens when it was given to the National Park Service, consists of 27.04 acres designed as the "naturalistic" component of a total composition which included the mansion and the formal gardens. The park is located north of and below the mansion and the terraced formal gardens and focuses on a stream valley sometimes called "The Branch" (i.e., of Rock Creek) nearly 100' below the mansion. North of the stream the park rises again in a northerly and westerly direction toward the U.S. Naval Observatory. The primary access to the park is from R Street between the Dumbarton Oaks estate and Montrose Park along a small lane presently called Lovers' Lane. Present Owner; Dumbarton Oaks Park is a Federal park, owned and maintained by the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior. Dates of Construction: Dumbarton Oaks estate was acquired by Robert Woods Bliss and Mildred Barnes Bliss in 1920. At their request, Beatrix Jones Farrand, a well- known American landscape architect, agreed to undertake the design and oversee the maintenance of the grounds.
