The Michael Dolpin Rowhouse is located at 112-116 Burnet Avenue. The two-story Italianate brick building was constructed in 1872 for Michal Dolpin, a Syracuse lumber dealer. The build- ing is ornamented with a bracketed cornice and saw-tooth band. The matching one and two-bay porches are representative of the Eastlake style detailed with brackets and spindlework friezes. The Michael Dolpin Rowhouse is eligible for the NR under Criterion C as a rare surviving exam- ple of an unaltered Victorian rowhouse. 1 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 204 BURNET AVE/ Corner Block Factory Shop/ Turack Motor Service (06740.000385) The Syracuse Corner Block Company factory was determined eligible for the NR in 2009 as a part of the multiple properties nomination for Industrial and Large Scale Commercial Buildings in the City of Syracuse. The three-story red brick factory is located at 204 Burnet Avenue and was constructed in 1895. The factory produced square turning, head, base, and corner blocks. The factory is associated with the industrial and commercial growth of the city during the Industri- al Boom and Diversification period (1870-1929) and is significant under Criterion C. 2 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 122-24 BURNET AVE & DECKER ST/ Brayton-Folker House/ Caldwell & Ward Brass Co Office/ “Cab Fab” (06740.000261) The Cabinet Fabrication Group property consists of four interconnected historic buildings located at 122-124 Burnet Avenue: 1864 Brayton-Falker House, 1896 Central City Brass and Manufactur- ing Company factory, 1902 factory addition, and 1940s cinder block addition. The 1940s cinder block addition is not considered eligible for the NR. The Brayton-Falker House was determined eligible for the NR in 1977 under Criterion C, as a refined example of the High Victorian Itali- anate style. The house is a two-story red brick Italianate building. The Caldwell & Ward Brass Company is the successor to the Onondaga Brass Company founded in 1850. The Ononda- ga Brass Company was reorganized in 1896 as the Central City Brass and manufacturing Company at 120 Burnet Avenue, adjacent to the Italianate home of Porter B. Ward, one of the owners of the company. In 1896, a four-story red brick rectangular factory building was constructed on the parcel southwest of the Brayton-Falker House. In 1902, Archi- medes Russell, a regionally prominent architect, was hired to design a large addition to the factory. This red brick addition is a one bay two-story/three bay one-story (south) with clerestory monitor type windows at the roof line located on the east side of the existing factory, south of the Brayton-Falker House. In 1906, the company was incorporated after consolidating with several smaller competitors and, in 1907, the company was re-incorporated as the Caldwell & Ward Brass Company. The Caldwell & Ward Brass Company factory and addition were determined eligible for the NR in 2009 as a part of the multiple properties nomination for Industrial and Large Scale Commercial Buildings in the City of Syracuse. The 1896 factory and 1902 addition are associated with the industrial and commercial growth of the city during the Industrial Boom and Diversification period (1870-1929) and are significant under Criterion A and Criterion C. 3 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 315 CLINTON ST N/ Residence (Paul Cowley & Associates) (06740.001406) The Queen Anne style residence was deter- mined eligible for the NR in 2004 under Criterion C, as an intact example of a late nineteenth century Queen Anne Style residence.

The L-shaped brick building is two- stories along Clinton Street with a three-story extension at the back.` 5 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 717 CLINTON ST N & DIVISION S Simonds Building (06740.001458) The Elgin A. Simonds Company Building was determined eligible for the NR in 1993 under Criterion C, as a significant example of early twentieth century industrial/manufacturing archi- tecture in upstate New York. The Elgin A. Si- monds Company building is located at 212 West Division Street and was constructed ca. 1908. The building displays three distinct architectural styles indicative of the three periods of construc- tion. The original structure is a three- and four- story red brick building with broad triple hung windows. Elgin A. Simonds Furniture Company was founded in 1899; Elgin Simonds had previ- ously been associated with Gustav Stickley from 1891 to 1898 as Stickley & Simonds. By 1922, the Simonds Furniture Company was one of the most widely known furniture manufacturer in the country. Elgin Simonds died in 1903 but the business continued until 1936. 6 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 101 CLINTON ST N & GENESEE ST/ Syracuse Post Office and Courthouse (91NR00249) The Syracuse Post Office and Courthouse was listed on the NR in 1987 under Criterion C, as a significant example of monumental twenti- eth century Neo-Classical architectural design prevalent for government buildings during this time period. The Syracuse Post Office is located at 101 North Clinton Street and was constructed between 1926 and 1928. The three-story lime- stone Neo-Classical building is located on a pie-shaped parcel. The symmetrical façade has a slight concave curve and is highlighted by a two-story recessed portico with six large Doric columns. A full entablature encircles the build- ing between the second and third floors. The building was originally built as a Federal build- ing, home to the U.S. Post Office, a U.S. District Court, and to other federal offices. The building was located adjacent to the Erie Canal and is one of several historically important buildings which sur- round Clinton Square, the city’s central open space. 7 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 940 COMSTOCK AVE & COLVIN ST/ Oakwood Cemetery (90NR03310) The Oakwood Cemetery (1859-1940) was de- termined eligible for the NR in 1991 under Cri- terion C for its landscape architecture, art, and funerary architecture. The Oakwood Cemetery is located at 940 Comstock Avenue and encom- passes approximately 160 acres of landscaped terrain and eight miles of circulating roadways with cobble lined gutters. The Oakwood Cem- etery is characterized by 86 contributing ele- ments, including 4 buildings (Victorian Gothic/ Eastlake style chapel and receiving vault [1880], Romanesque Old Office [1902] and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Bridge [1902], and the 1891 barn [no longer extant by 2011]) , 1 site (rural landscape design), 21 structures (vaults and mausoleums), and 60 objects (statu- ary and sculptures). Monuments and mausole- ums represent a variety of architectural styles including Gothic Revival, Baroque, Romanesque, Egyp- tian Revival, Classical Revival, Neoclassical, and Art Deco. Oakwood Cemetery is a designed rural landscape functioning as a burial ground and as an urban park. The original 82-acre cemetery was designed in 1859 by master landscape architect, Howard Daniels (1815-1864), a contemporary of Andrew Jackson Downing and Frederick Law Olmstead. Daniels’ design of Oakwood emphasized the pastoral, picturesque qualities of the scenery as they could be enhanced by plan and design or enhanced in existing or introduced plantings; obtrusive lot enclosures such as cast iron fences were excluded from the design. Oakwood Cemetery is character- ized by over 300 varieties of trees and shrubs; many of the mature trees predate the establishment of the cemetery. The cemetery contains numerous intact examples of funerary art and architecture throughout the period of significance with many examples by well-known regional architects, includ- ing Horatio Nelson White, Archimedes Russell, and Joseph Lyman Silsbee and artists such as stone sculptor John C. Esser, stone carver James Sharkey, and metal sculptor, Eli Harvey. Oakwood Cem- etery also contains the graves of many locally prominent Syracuse citizens. 8 NYS DOT Architectural Resources Survey 601-15 CROUSE AVE S & HARRISON S/ 601 South Crouse Avenue/ Temple Adath Yeshurun/Hotel Skyler (06740.004699) The former Temple Adath Yeshurun was deter- mined eligible for the NR under Criterion C as an example of Neo-Classical architecture.

    Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation Near Cortland, New York

    Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation near Cortland, New York by Jonathan W. Harrington Geological Consultant Groton, New York and W. Graham Heaslip State University College at Cortland Cortland, New York It i s particularly appropriate that we examine the Ithaca Formation in the Cortland area during the Golden Anniversary Meeting of the New York State Geological Association. The rocks of this region are of con­ siderable historical interest, having received attention since the earli­ est days of geolog ical investigation in New York State . In fact, the presence of fossil shells in the Devonian rocks of New York was first noted in 1751 at a hillside outcrop in Cortland County by John Bartram, a member of the Lewis Evans Onondaga expedition (We lls, 1963). The New York Devonian is unique in its completeness, fossil content. numerous outcrops, and relatively undisturbed nature. It is the standard reference section for North America and displays a classic example of facies transition. Stratigraphic and paleontologic investigation over the past century has produced a wealth of infonnation, but uDespite this, perhaps another century of rigorous study wi ll be required before a thor­ ough understanding of its paleontology, lithology, stratigraphy and paleoecology can be attained. n (Rickard. 1964). The early stratigraphic work in the Upper Devonian of New York was done mainly by James Hall. J. M. Clarke. and H. S. Williams between 1840 and 1915 . These workers subdivided the succession, described the faunas and attempted to correlate along the strike. Due to comp l ex interfinger­ ing of the argillaceous western sequence with the thicker arenaceous eastern sequence, correlations proved difficult.

    Frank Lloyd Wright House, 1949

    Allen Memorial Art Museum Teacher Resource Packet – Frank Lloyd Wright House, 1949 Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867 – 1959) Weltzheimer/Johnson House, 1949 Redwood, brick, glass, concrete American architect Frank Lloyd Wright is regarded as one of the greatest modern architects, with a career spanning over fifty years. He is best known for his Prairie Style homes, which emphasized a long, horizontal line and organic incorporation into the surroundings, inspired by the prairie of the Midwest. Through the course of his life, Wright became equally well known for his personal life as his architecture. Biography Frank Lloyd Wright was born in 1867 in rural Wisconsin, the son of a lawyer and a teacher. Dying in 1959 at the age of 91, he was regarded as one of the most prolific and acclaimed architects of all time. His early childhood was marked by his parents’ divorce in 1885, after which his mother lavished the young Wright with affection. He left his home to attend the University of Wisconsin, Madison for two terms before leaving for Chicago to try his luck with architecture. His earliest experience once there was with the architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee, an architect of religious buildings. Perhaps one of Wright’s most influential early working experiences was with Adler and Sullivan firm. Louis Sullivan was one of the most respected architects of the day, known for his mysticism and towering steel skyscrapers. Terming the phrase, “form follows function,” Sullivan was a direct influence on Wright’s development of his famous Prairie Style. Wright in 1947, the same year construction began on the W/J House Wright was deeply dedicated to the idea of an ‘organic’ architecture which would integrate nature, man, and design into a unified and interrelated final product.
