  • Former New York Yacht Club), 30 Rylan Boulevard
    Landmarks ?reservation Commission Oc-tober 12, 1982, Designation List 160 LP-1213 McFARLANE-BREDT HOUSE (former New York Yacht Club), 30 Rylan Boulevard. Borough of Staten Island. Built c.l845. Landmark Site: Borough of Staten Island Tax Map Block 2830, Lot 49, in part, consist­ ing of the land which formerly comprised Lot 40. On September 9, 1980, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hear­ ing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the McFarlane-Bredt House (former New York Yacht Club) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The house at 30 Rylan Boulevard, known as the McFarlane-Bredt house, is an early Victorian country villa built in the early 1840s. Its site, a broad elliptical mound on Staten Island's north shore, faces northeast and commands a magnificent view across the Narrows to New York harbor. Built as private residence, it served for three years (1868-1871) as the clubhouse of the New York Yacht Club and became the second home of that organization. "-Thile headquartered in Clifton, the club first successfully defended the America's Cup, the world's foremost yachting event. The house built for Henry and Anne McFarlane, shortly after they purchased the property in 1841, was a long, low, two-story, clapboard-covered, wooden-framed cottage with brick-filled walls designed to resemble an Italian-Swiss villa, a short lived style which rose to popularity in the 1840s along with the diminutive Greek temple and the board-and-batten Gothic cottage in an era when awakening literary tastes decreed that domestic architecture should be "romantic." If an architect designed the house for the McFarlanes, he remains unknown.

  • Education and Workforce Committee 2018 Mayoral Transition Report
    Education and Workforce Committee 2018 Mayoral Transition Report 2018 Mayoral Transition Report Education and Workforce Committee I. Scope of Review Education and Workforce Development constitutes the core means by which we prepare our children to succeed in life. One cannot exist without the other. A high quality education is essential in preparing students to graduate from high school or college, ready to enter the workforce and support an even higher quality of life. An intense and collaborative focus of workforce needs, generated from employers and the general marketplace, are required in order for students to understand where their brightest future may lie. The two efforts, however, must work closely together in order to provide our children the greatest hope and opportunity for success. The Education and Workforce Committee (EWC) has examined both education and workforce development in Birmingham and the region surrounding it. The Committee has focused on how the Mayor’s Office can provide constructive support to both Education and Workforce Development efforts. It has become clear that the City is in need of cooperation, support, and most of all, leadership. While there is no lack of workforce programming among regional agency and community partners, the EWC sees a lack of cohesion among their various efforts and targeted goals. With that said, Birmingham would thrive from a city-led workforce development program to be facilitated from the Mayor’s Office, with dedicated personnel and resources that offers cross-system collaborations with city and state government, non-profit organizations, education entities, and the business community. Building on successes such as Innovate Birmingham, the Mayor’s office should expand public/private partnerships to accomplish the recommendations and goals in this report.
