The main elevation faces south along River Road. The 1886 Shingle-style building features asymmetrical rectangular forms. The main elevation along the north side of River Road faces south. The north and south elevations have wide, low-slung gabled facades. An arched porte cochere entrance is located at the southeast side of the central section and is accessed through a paved semi-circular asphalt and brick driveway. It is balanced by a perpendicular west wing flanking the central section. Behind the main mass of the building rises a stout octagonal cupola3 with a conical roof and an offset steeple here reinterpreted as an aviary4. The main seating area contains a central aisle running along the principal north-south axis of the building. Three rows of pews in the south end of the main space lead to a raised platform in the chancel, housing the pulpit, organ and choir loft, which we believe was extended several feet to the north to accommodate a large organ in the mid 1940s. An octagonal dome rises over the chancel under the cupola. A perpendicular wing extends to the west of the chancel. A single group of pews are accessed through doors at the end of side aisles, leading to the non-contributing enclosed breezeway and the non- contributing 1955 education and administration building (see photographs 53, 54, 55 and 56). The church is built on level grassy land dotted with mature oak trees. A contributing building

  • Autobiographical Elements in Frank J. Webb's the Garies and Their Friends
    “Faithfully Drawn from Real Life”: Autobiographical Elements in Frank J. Webb’s The Garies and Their Friends RESURGENCE OF INTEREST in Frank J. Webb’s The Garies and Their Friends—the second novel by an African American and Athe first to portray northern racism—underscores the need for consideration of recently discovered biographical information about this enigmatic author. Previously unknown details about the lives of Frank J. Webb (1828–94) and his family and friends parallel some of his literary portrayals, subtly inform other scenes and characters, and generally help to illuminate the unique combination of biography, social history, and cre- ative imagination that constitute Webb’s complex literary achievement. The Garies and Their Friends is constructed around two major narra- tive lines: the stories of the Garie family and the Ellis family. In Georgia, Clarence Garie, a white slave owner, is living openly with his mulatto slave mistress, Emily Winston; he treats her with as much affection and respect as if she were his wife and wishes to marry her, but interracial marriage is illegal in the state. They have two children, named after their parents, Clarence and Emily. The Garies entertain Emily’s cousin, George Winston, who, although born and raised in slavery, was educated and freed by a kind master. Now, with all the appearances of a refined gentleman, he is passing as white—much to the approbation and amuse- ment of Mr. Garie. In Philadelphia, the Ellises are a “highly respectable and industrious coloured family.”1 Mr. Ellis, a carpenter, and his wife, Ellen, have three The author wishes to thank Elizabeth Hayes of Silver Spring, Maryland, for her valuable research and advice; Dr.

    FOUNDERS AND FUNDERS: Institutional Expansion and the Emergence of the American Cultural Capital 1840-1940 Valerie Paley Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Valerie Paley All rights reserved ABSTRACT Founders and Funders: Institutional Expansion and the Emergence of the American Cultural Capital 1840-1940 Valerie Paley The pattern of American institution building through private funding began in metropolises of all sizes soon after the nation’s founding. But by 1840, Manhattan’s geographical location and great natural harbor had made it America’s preeminent commercial and communications center and the undisputed capital of finance. Thus, as the largest and richest city in the United States, unsurprisingly, some of the most ambitious cultural institutions would rise there, and would lead the way in the creation of a distinctly American model of high culture. This dissertation describes New York City’s cultural transformation between 1840 and 1940, and focuses on three of its enduring monuments, the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Opera. It seeks to demonstrate how trustees and financial supporters drove the foundational ideas, day-to-day operations, and self- conceptions of the organizations, even as their institutional agendas enhanced and galvanized the inherently boosterish spirit of the Empire City. Many board members were animated by the dual impulses of charity and obligation, and by their own lofty edifying ambitions for their philanthropies, their metropolis, and their country. Others also combined their cultural interests with more vain desires for social status.

  • ROBERT and ANNE DICKEY HOUSE, 67 Greenwich Street (Aka 28-30 Trinity Place), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 28, 2005, Designation List 365 LP-2166 ROBERT and ANNE DICKEY HOUSE, 67 Greenwich Street (aka 28-30 Trinity Place), Manhattan. Built 1809-10. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 19, Lot 11. On October 19, 2004, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Robert and Anne Dickey House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing was continued to April 21, 2005 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Sixteen people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of State Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, the Lower Manhattan Emergency Preservation Fund, Municipal Art Society of New York, New York Landmarks Conservancy, Historic Districts Council, and Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. Two of the building’s owners, and five of their representatives, testified against designation. In addition, the Commission received numerous communications in support of designation, including a resolution from Manhattan Community Board 1 and letters from City Councilman Alan J. Gerson, the Northeast Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preservation League of New York State, and architect Robert A.M. Stern. The building had been previously heard by the Commission on October 19, 1965, and November 17, 1965 (LP-0037). Summary The large (nearly 41 by 62 feet), significantly intact Federal style town house at No. 67 Greenwich Street in lower Manhattan was constructed in 1809-10 when this was the most fashionable neighborhood for New York’s social elite and wealthy merchant class.

The work was so carefully done that the labour of editing has been almost negligible. The late Historian of the Society had already, in the first volume, covered the period from 1756 to 1806 and this book now brings the records of the Society down to 1856, thus completing the first hundred years of its existence. Many of the sketches, no doubt, tell only inadequately of the lives of these early members and it must be remembered by those who read them that it is due to the utmost patience and diligence on the part of Dr.

  • FOREWORD It Has Been Said That the Scot Is Never So Much at Home As
    FOREWORD It has been said that the Scot is never so much at home as when he is abroad. Under this half-jesting reference to one of the characteristics of our race, there abides a sober truth, namely, that the Scotsman carries with him from his parent home into the world without no half-hearted acceptance of the duties required of him in the land of his adoption. He is usually a public-spirited citizen, a useful member of society, wherever you find him. But that does not lessen the warmth of his attachment to the place of his birth, or the land of his forbears. Be his connection with Scotland near or remote, there is enshrined in the inner sanctuary of his heart, memories, sentiments, yearnings, that are the heritage of generations with whom love of their country was a dominant passion, and pride in the deeds that her children have done an incentive to effort and an antidote against all that was base or ignoble. It is a fact that goes to the core of the secular struggle for human freedom that whole-hearted Americanism finds no jarring note in the sentiment of the Scot, be that sentiment ever so intense. In the sedulous cultivation of the Scottish spirit there is nothing alien, and, still more emphatically, nothing harmful, to the institutions under which we live. The things that nourish the one, engender attachment and loyalty to the other. So, as we cherish the memories of the Motherland, keep in touch with the simple annals of our childhood's home, or the home of our kin, bask in the fireside glow of its homely humor, or dwell in imagination amid the haunts of old romance, we are the better Americans for the Scottish heritage from which heart and mind alike derive inspiration and delight.
