Designed and overseen by the architectural firm of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates (HHPA) , with preservation consultant Building Conservation Associates , the project is slated for completion in March 2004. BAM's building at 30 Lafayette Avenue is owned by the C ity of ew York and its $8.6 million restoration project is funded through the New York City Department of Cu ltural Affairs with support from the New York City Council and the Brooklyn Borough President. Additional fund ing is also being provided by the New York State Office of Parks , Recreation and Historic Preservation. Key elements of this major capital project include restoration of the terra-cotta ornamentation , reconstruction of the parapet and cornice (removed for safety reasons almost 50 years ago), replacement of cracked brickwork and lintels , handicapped accessib ility, part ial roof replacement , refurbishment of stained -glass windows , cleaning of the fac;ade, and the addition of an undulating , 130 foot -long glass entrance canopy. Exter ior lighting and signage will be enhanced and hand rails wi ll be added to the main entrances. "BAM is thriving and a cultural district is emergi ng in the neighborhood," stated BAM President Karen Brooks Hopkins. "This is the ideal time to restore the home of America's oldest performing arts ce nter, and HHPA is the firm that can take on that challenge. We have an architectural jewel in our midst and we see its refurbishment as yet another symbol of the continued revitalization of Brooklyn ." The Brooklyn Academy of Music was founded in 1859. Its original home on Montague Street was destroyed by fire in 1903. BAM 's current home , at 30 Lafayette Avenue , was completed in 1908 by architects Herts and Tallant , the premier theater architects of that period . Its eclectic Beaux A11s style is also seen in other He1ts and Tallant designs in New York C ity - the New Amsterdam Theatre ( 1903, restoration by HHPA in 1997) and the Lyceum Theatre (1905) , for example. The BAM bui lding features polychrome terracotta and is finished in light-colored brick . The main entrance opens on to Lafayette Avenue with five large doub le doors embellished with cherub figures. Five correspo ndin g double-height , arched windows extend more ... BrooklynAcademy of Music BAM Exterior Restoration 2 across the second floor fa9ade. Restoration will reclaim the original building's elaborate terra -cotta cornice, set with 22 full -sized lions' heads , complete with red tongues. The BAM building was designated a New York City Landmark in 1978 . Unfortunately , decades of wear and decay have taken their toll. A survey of the exterior conducted in 1998 unc overed a much higher level of deterioration than previously suspected . This project seeks to correct and restore deteriorating building elements , to repair potentially dangerous conditions, and to restore BAM's resplendent exterior. In the past decade , Hardy Holz111an Pfeiffer Associates has worked on the design and i111plementation of significant capital improvements to the BAM campus: the transformation of the under-utilized Helen Carey Playhouse into the four-screen BAM Rose Cine111as, the creation of the second-floor BAMcafe perfor111ance spac e and restaurant - both within the 30 Lafayette Avenue structure- and the restoration of the Harvey (for111erly Majestic) Theater at 651 Fulton Street. "Re storation of BAM's historic exterior will complement the 111anyimprove111ents that we have accomplished within this Brooklyn landmark ," said Hugh Hardy , FAIA , founding patiner , Hardy Holz111an Pfeiffer Associates. "When complete , the renewed fac;;ade will be a testament to BA M's significance in the cultural life of the City." The Brooklyn Acade111y of Music (BAM) is recognized internationally for its innovative programming of dance, 111usic, theater , 111usic-theater and opera , serving nearly 400 ,000 people annually . In addition to presenting leading national and international a1iists , BAM identifies and suppotis the work of ground-breaking , contemporary artists in the performing arts with its Next Wave Festival , one of the world's most impotiant festivals of contemporary performing arts - marking its 20 th anniversary season in the fall of 2002 .

  • Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.

  • Matthew Thornton: Ancestors and Descendants
    Matthew Thornton: Ancestors and Descendants by Whitney Durand July 25, 2010 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Descendants of Matthew Thornton Generation 1 1. Matthew Thornton-1[1] was born in 1714 in Derry, Kilskerry Parish (Tyrone) Northern Ireland[1]. He died on 24 Jun 1803 in Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts[1]. Notes for Matthew Thornton: General Notes: Matthew Thornton was the son of James Thornton, a native of Ireland, and was born in that country, about the year 1714. When he was two or three years old, his father emigrated to America, and after a residence of a few years he removed to Worcester, Massachusetts. Here young Thornton received a respectable academical education, and subsequently pursued his medical studies, under the direction of Doctor Grout, of Leicester. Soon after completing his preparatory course, he removed to Londonderry, in New-Hampshire, where he commenced the practice of medicine, and soon became distinguished, both as a physician and a surgeon. In 1745, the well known expedition against Cape Breton was planned by Governor Shirley. The co-operation of New-Hampshire being solicited, a corps of five hundred men was raised in the latter province. Dr. Thornton was selected to accompany the New-Hampshire troops, as a surgeon. The chief command of this expedition was entrusted to colonel William Pepperell. On the 1st of May, he invested the city of Louisburg. Lieutenant Colonel Vaughan conducted the first column, through the woods, within sight of Louisburg, and saluted the city with three cheers. At the head of a detachment, chiefly of New-Hampshire troops, he marched in the night, to the northeast part of the harbour, where they burned the warehouses, containing the naval stores, and staved a large quantity of wine and brandy.
