GENFaRAL DESCRIPTION The Springland house circa 1845 is positioned on a hill surrounded by numerous mature trees on .93 acres of land sloping down to the entrance to the house on the north and away from the house to the south. The house is constructed of brick with a slate roof. A wooden porch extends across the width of the south facade of the house. A substantial one bay addition to the house circa 1891 to the east consists of a brick basement and first floor with a second story of wood construction. Behind the house to the southeast is a peaked roof frame building, the only other structure on the property, which was a garage and has been converted into a studio. It is a noncontributing structure. The original 1845 farmhoiise was a simple 1 and 1 half-story structure, symmetrically arranged with gable end chimneys. During the middle of the nineteenth century the vernacular porch was added extending the width of the south facade of the house. According to descendents, the house was altered and added to in the 1890s when Reverend James Macbride Sterrett and Adlumia Dent Sterrett moved to Washington at\d settled at Springland with their five sons. Another remodeling, primarily on the interior, took place in 1929 when the Reverend Henry Hatch Dent Sterrett and his family moved into Springland. The last exterior change was the replacement of the front porch in the late 1920s. The house retains its integrity as a vernacular structure which has been altered and added to in response to the needs of the inhabitants and the changing technological advances in heating and plumbing. An unprecedented amount of the site has been maintained around the house as open space and garden vith mature trees thereby retaining the original sense of the house set in the rolling countryside outside of the growing federal city. >ee continuation sheet 8.

A. INTRODUCTION Springland, a brick house built circa 1845, with an addition dating tc circa 1891, is significant, architecturally as an example of the raid-19th century gentleman/builder vernacular architecture typical of the country estates built in the rural areas outside the emerging federal city. Springland exemplifies the construction techniques, materials and layout of spaces of southern vernacular architecture of the 1840s and 1890s. It also exemplifies the pattern of extended family life in the mid-nineteenth century with the younger generation building their homes on land that is part of or near their parents© land. Springland is significant historically in the fields of religion and philosophy because of its association with James Macbride Sterrett (1847-1923) the most significant historic individual to live at Springland. "As a philosopher Sterrett 1 s distinctive contribution to American thought was along the line of the development of idealistic philosophy, notably the idealism of Hegel.... He was especially interested in the field where philosophy and religion touch...he turned his thought to tha philosophical principles which underlie the intellectual aspect of religion.... His great work was in the field of philosophy...in which his clear, yet profound, thinking helped to give idealism a better standing as against the empirical pragmatic trend so pronounced in some quarters." [** 1 j He was the author of several books written during the time he resided at Springland between 1891 and 1923: Reason and Authority in Religion; The Ethics of Hegel; The Freedom of Authority; and Modernism in Religion. continuation sheet 9.

  • Untitled, Undated Fragment of Newspaper Article Describes the Cellars One Hundred Years Later
    This page intentionally left blank PREFACE This report was commissioned by the Taft Museum of Art and Reed Hilderbrand Associates, Inc, Landscape Architecture, as part of the museum's expansion and renovation program. In early 2001, as it became clear that the Taft gardens would be thoroughly renovated and rebuilt, the need emerged for a documentary history that captured the design intentions, construction and evolution of several generations of landscape development. The following narrative records that history and anticipates a new chapter in the Taft's relationship to its site. The author gratefully acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Phillip Long, David Johnson, Lea Emery, Susan Hudson and Mark Allen of the Taft Museum of Art; the staff of the Cincinnati Historical Society, in particular Linda Bailey; the staff of the Cincinnati Public Library and that of the Lloyd Horticultural Library; Beth Sullebarger of the Cincinnati Preservation Society, and Nicholas Longworth's two great-great-great granddaughters, Mary Mitchell Cushing and Rosalie Mitchell Robertson. TAFf MUSEUM OF ART 2 A LANDSCAPE HIsTORY INTRODUCTION The Taft Museum of Art houses one of America's notable private collections of art, one that distinctly reflects Anna and Charles Taft's desire to leave an outstanding and permanent contribution to cultural life in Cincinnati, Ohio. No less important is the extraordinary inheritance embodied in the site and the impressive structure in which the collection is displayed, a building considered among America's finest early nineteenth­ century homes. This study documents and interprets the valuable inheritance conveyed through the history of the Taft site and its associated designed landscape at a moment when the museum itself is undergoing significant changes to revive and extend its legacy-changes that will make its collection and its site more manageable and more accessible to a wider audience.

Four new titles are introduced in this catalog. The Lenape and Their Legends, the 11th title in our Great Pennsylvania Frontier Series, is a classic on Lenape or Delaware Indian history. Originally published in 1885 by Daniel Brinton, this numbered title is limited to 1,000 copies and contains the original translation of the Walum Olum, the Lenape’s ancient migration story. Anyone who is a student of Eastern Frontier history will need to own this scarce and hard to find book. Our second release is David Zeisberger’s History of the Indians of the Northern American Indians of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania in 18th Century America. Seldom does a book come along that contains such an outstanding collection of notes on Eastern Frontier Indian history. Zeisberger, a missionary in the wilderness among the Indians of the East for over 60 years, gives us some of the most intimate details we know today. Two new titles in our paperback Pennsylvania History and Legends Series are: TE-A-O-GA: Annals of a Valley by Elsie Murray and Journal of Samuel Maclay by John F. Meginness; two excellent short stories about two vital areas of significance in Pennsylvania Indian history. Other books released in last 6 months are 1) 30,000 Miles With John Heckewelder or Travels Among the Indians of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio in the 18th Century, 2) Early Western Journals, 3) A Pennsylvania Bison Hunt, and 4) Luke Swetland’s Captivity.

  • Wine List Intro.Docx
    Supplement to Wine & Gastronomy Catalogues This book list, together with my Wine & Gastronomy Catalogues (1996-2002) represents, to the best of my reconstructive ability, the complete collection built over a roughly twenty-year period ending in 1982. The Wine & Gastronomy Catalogues had been drawn from books that suffered fire and water torture in 1979. The present list also includes books acquired before and after that event, while we were living in Italy, and before I reluctantly rejected the idea of rebuilding the collection. A few of these later acquisitions were offered for sale in the catalogues, but most of them remain in my possession. They are identified here with the note “[**++].” The following additional identifiers are used in this list: [**ici] – “incomplete cataloguing information” available – “short title” detail at best. All of these books were lost or discarded. [**sold] – books sold prior to the Wine & Gastronomy series, including from my Catalogue 1, issued March 1990. [**kept] – includes bibliographies, reference books, and books on coffee, tea and chocolate, and a few others which escaped inclusion in the catalogues. All items not otherwise identified were lost or discarded. The list includes a number of wine maps, but there were a few others for which there wasn’t enough information available to justify inclusion. To the list of wine bibliographies consulted for the Wine & Gastronomy catalogues, I would like to add the extensive German bibliography by Renate Schoene, first published in 1978 as Bibliographie zur Geschichte des Weines (Mannheim, 1976), followed by three supplements (1978, 1982, 1984), and the second edition (München, 1988).

  • Orape, Raisin, and Wine Production in the United States
    ORAPE, RAISIN, AND WINE PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES. By GEORGE C. HUSMANN, Expert in Charge of Viticultural Investigations y Bureau of Plant Industry. THE GRAPE-GROWING INDUSTRY. EARLY HISTORY. When America was discovered the wild vine was so prominent a feature of the vegetation that the name Yineland was more than once applied to the country. Considerable wine was produced from a native grape in Florida as early as 1564. The London Company planted vineyards in Virginia prior to 1620, and many succeeding attempts at grape growing were made by William Penn and by Ger- man and Swiss settlers. Of more recent attempts to cultivate the vine on the Atlantic coast, the first were confined to European varieties, and were not successful. The Mission Fathers in California were the first to successfully grow the European grape in the United States. They grew grapes at the missions for their own use only, the work being principally done by Indians. They had but one variety, v/hich is still largelj^ grown, and is known by the name of Mission. It is first heard of as introduced into Mexico in 1520. Chronologically, it was brought to the California missions, as follows: San Diego, 1769; San Gabriel, 1771; Los Angeles, 1781; and Santa Barbara, 1786. The Mission vine planted at Montecito, Cal., in 1795, was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. It was 18 inches in diameter, and in one season had produced over 5 tons of grapes. From the missions, the viticultural pioneers received their inspira- tion as well as their start of cuttings NEW ERA IN GRAPE GROWING.

  • Nicholas Longworth and Grape Speculation in Antebellum Ohio
    A Fortune in Fruit 89 A Fortune in Fruit: Nicholas Longworth and Grape Speculation in Antebellum Ohio Erica Hannickel Nicholas Longworth (1782-1863), the “father of American wine”—more accurately, father of the first commercially successful American champagne—has been lauded as the harbinger of an ideal democratic agrarian republic.1 In his 1858 portrait, Longworth, also known as the “Western Bacchus,” stands among the things that brought him wealth: hundreds of acres of land receding in the background, and his grapes (see Figure 1).2 Viticulturists had known for decades that the most popular European winegrapes (Vitis vinifera like Cabernet Sau- vignon and Chardonnay) would not grow well in North America under normal circumstances. The cultural importance of finding a native American wine, as well as improving the quality and taste of America’s antebellum vinous produc- tions, are at the heart of Longworth’s accepted honorific life story. In this celebratory vein, fruit speculators, although quite common in the nineteenth century throughout all regions, have not undergone the same scrutiny as the typical litany of traders, capitalists, and real estate men who populate the story of U.S. territorial and market expansion.3 Many fruit growers across the region did more than just grow fruit. As speculators, they sought to capitalize on their fruit as well as the resale of the “improved” land the fruit grew upon and the margin of profit that could be added by employed labor. Specifically, behind the Longworth horticultural egalitarian myth is a story of wealth made through land speculation and, crucially, decades of labor exploitation that has been ob- scured by the democratic mythos of American fruit production and fruit tourism.

  • The "Philadelphia Fever" in Northern Pennsylvania*
    THE "PHILADELPHIA FEVER" IN NORTHERN PENNSYLVANIA* By NORMAN B. WILKINSON yELLOW fever was not the only epidemic that swept Phila- l delphia in the 1790's. A few years after the last funereal chant, "Bring out your dead," had signaled the final passing of the dead wagon, a different cry of anguish rose from other throats-throats encircled in linen and broadcloth, not homespun. The victims of this new scourge had escaped the ravages of the mosquito anopheles at the time of the pestilence by fleeing to their rural estates or visit- ing relatives in safe, distant places. But there was no escape from the effects of this second virulent malady, an ailment, which might be diagnosed as a fever for the back lands of Pennsylvania. Time and research have identified the anopheles as the little devil that depopulated Philadelphia in 1793. From the perspective of a century and a half we may also see what induced the land fever of that decade. Its contagion was widespread, infecting mer- chants, bankers, promoters, lawyers, clergymen, military men, legis- lators, office holders and physicians. To medical men, lured by the greater profits in land patents than in purgatives and potions, the command, "Physician, heal thyself," was an empty challenge. One of them, the trenchant Dr. Benjamin Rush, himself a modest dealer in frontier lands, declared the land fever an epidemic that had raged since the close of the Revolution. It was a species of madness, the cure for which was not a bed at Bush Hill, but a room in Prune Street Prison.
