Pennington Archeological Report 8 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Midwest Archeological Center United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2015 This report has been reviewed against the criteria contained in 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1) and, upon recommendation of the Midwest Regional Office and the Midwest Archeological Center, has been classified as AVAILABLE Making the report available meets the criteria of 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1). ABSTRACT During early May, 1993, personnel from the Midwest Archeological Center conducted a park-wide archeological survey of Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial (PEVI) on South Bass Island, Ottawa County, Ohio. Much of PEVI’s 10.15 hectares (25.38 acres) rest on a heavily filled and graded tombolo, and a small portion of the park had been surveyed previously. For this reason, the 1993 investigations surveyed only a total of 5.6 hectares (14 acres). The artifact yield was low and much of the project area was found to have been previously disturbed by grading. However, one historic site was discovered. A small test trench was excavated in order to explore a structural foundation uncovered to the northeast of the memorial column.

  • Cleveland Architects Database
    Clevland Landmarks Commission Cleveland Architects Database The following is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, from the 1820’s until the 1930’s. Discovering which architects designed certain buildings was determined by utilizing several sources, including the City of Cleveland Building Permits, and publications that included American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. The Cleveland Public Library card index for Architect’s in the Fine Arts Department was used. Books on Cleveland Architecture that were consulted included Cleveland Architecture 1876 – 1976, and the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture were consulted. A catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society was consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were consulted in compiling this database. For the purposes of this database an architect was defined as anyone that called himself or herself as an architect. Robert Keiser compiled the Cleveland Architects as a hobby in after work hours over several years. This project terminates with 1930. Local building activity was severely curtailed by the Great Depression, and did not recover until the 1950’s. Many of the references in the database have

    Cleveland Architects Database The Cleveland Architects Database was envisioned as a comprehensive listing of Cleveland’s rich history of buildings and the architects who designed them. It provides an extensive look at the output of buildings in the careers of Cleveland’s architects to help us further recognize and evaluate their bodies of work, whether well-known or unheralded. A resource for architects, historians, planners, students, and property owners, the Database is a product of the Landmarks Commission’s mandate to conduct a continuous survey of Cleveland’s architectural heritage. The Database covers the history of Cleveland’s built environment, primarily up to the 1940s. It is our intention to expand the Database to include more buildings and architects from the latter half of the twentieth century. And though the focus of the Database is on architects from Cleveland and the work they produced, more entries will be added for architects from elsewhere who designed significant buildings here. The Database went online in June of 2008, and it continues to be updated, corrected, and refined. It is not a finished document, but rather a work in progress that will continue to grow and evolve. We welcome documented additions and corrections. Award In 2014, the Cleveland Restoration Society recognized former Landmarks Commission Secretary Robert Keiser and the Cleveland Architects Database with a Cultural Resource Award at the 2014 Celebration of Preservation. Acknowledgments Robert Keiser, who conducted research for the Commission from 1983 to 2014, and architectural historian Craig Bobby are the primary contributors to its compilation, research, and editing. Additional credit belongs to those who have contributed information over the years or whose research from other projects was incorporated into the Database.

Architecture for Community and Spectacle: The Roofed Arena in North America, 1853-1968 Abstract This dissertation provides the first treatment of the origins and development of the roofed arena in the United States and Canada. Supported by archival resources of graphics and text, and informed by direct contact with arena architects, design and operations staff, this study examines the arena as a place for spectacle within the larger environments of city and campus. The arena's site, massing, and design revealed the expectations of its sponsorship. The arena's internal configuration of roofed seating bowl, floor, portals, and passages was a purposeful arrangement intended to accommodate attendees and manage their movement through architectural space. The first chapter focuses on the transmission to the nineteenth century, via the architecture of theater, circus, and other spaces of public assembly, of the Greek and Roman hippodrome oval for accommodation of multiple kinds of revenue-generating activities situated within a circular, elliptical, or rectilinear seating bowl.
