Ain’t that the circle of life? The landmarks discussed eternally crowded St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Map 12). are highly idiosyncratic choices, and this list is by no means complete or even logical, but we’ve included an array of places, from world famous to little known, all worth visiting.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright. -

K1 ate) Attached Abstract: [_x_] yes ] no Attached Briefing Statement: [ ] yes [ ] no 2 Reference:NJ/Military Park Commons Historic District/City-CDBG/ New Jersey Performing Arts Center Project Attachment ABSTRACT The City of Newark, New Jersey, proposes to allocate $1.2 million dollars in CDBG funds from a "Special Purpose Grant" authorized by Congress in 1990 to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) for the New Jersey Performing Arts Center Project. The undertaking, which will be constructed in the Central Business District, will cost an estimated $250 million and be implemented in phases over the next ten years. As currently designed, Phase I, a 2,7000 seat multi-purpose hall and 500 studio theater, will have an adverse affect on the Military Park Commons Historic District, two archeological sites, including the Trinity Church Cemetery, and several other standing structures, all of which have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register. NJPAC has been consulting with the New Jersey SHPO regarding this undertaking since 1990. Although a cultural resources survey and assessment of effect for properties within the "area of potential effect" was completed over two years ago, the Council did not become aware of this undertaking until the fall of 1992 when we were appraised by the SHPO that human remains would be impacted by the removal of the nineteenth-century Trinity Church Cemetery. -

News and Notes 1980-1989
NEWS AND NOTES FROM The Prince George's County Historical Society Vol. VIII, no. 1 January 1980 The New Year's Program There will be no meetings of the Prince George's County Historical Society in January or February. The 1980 meeting program will begin with the March meeting on the second Saturday of that month. Public Forum on Historic Preservation The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will sponsor a public forum on the future of historic preservation in Prince George's County on Thursday, January 10, at the Parks and Recreation Building, 6600 Kenilworth Avenue, in Riverdale. This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify. -
