COLES LONG ISLAND HISTORY ROOM For additional information call (516) 676-2130 or email [email protected] PRATT ESTATE OF YEARS GONE BY WAS A CITY WITHIN A CITY Many skilled Italian immigrants came to Glen Cove as a result of the Pratt family and their large estate. It all started in the late 1880s when Pratt Oval Charles Pratt, the patriarch of this wealthy family, purchased the old Winthrop farm along Dosoris Lane and many surrounding properties. All these properties, 1,100 acres in all, were later developed by his six sons. All of his children built homes in our city with the exception of one daughter, Mrs. W. Ern- est Dane, who established her home in Brookline, Massachusetts. At one time, the estate employed more than 400 day laborers and gardeners, many of whom were the new Italian immigrants to Glen Cove. The families of Stanco, Furlano, Famigletti and Anzalone were just a few of the area’s immigrants who worked on the estate. The old, tough but fair Scottish foremen sought out the best of these new arrivals to take care of the grounds and beau- tify them. In 1920, there was a herd of 100 thoroughbred Jersey cattle on the estate. There were 25 miles of paved roads, three quarters of a mile of prime shorefront on the sound, a private water company, twenty full-time Irish watchmen and a police car with its own modern radio unit there as well. Up until 1923, the estate had a community dining hall which held up to 40 people at one sitting. Mr. Pratt can be credited with bringing the Italian fig tree into our region. One Italian gardener, (Angelo Capobianco’s grandfa- ther) was encouraged to smuggle “shoots” of this sub-tropical fruit tree and other beautiful plants on his frequent trips back to the “old country.” The fig trees on the estates were uprooted in the fall, placed in holes in the earth and covered with soil below the frost line.

  • The Archive of American Journalism Ida Tarbell Collection Mcclure's
    The Archive of American Journalism Ida Tarbell Collection McClure’s Magazine March, 1903 The History of the Standard Oil Company Chapter V—The Price of Trust Building “The American Beauty rose can he produced in its splendor and fragrance only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it.”—J. D. ROCKEFELLER, JR., in an address on trusts to the students of Brown University. MR. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER has shown repeatedly in his conquering business career remarkable ability to learn from experience. The breaking up of the Refiners’ Association in June, 1873, may have seemed a disaster to him. He did not allow it to be a profitless disaster. He extracted useful lessons from the experience, and, armed with this new wisdom, bent his whole mind to working out a third plan of campaign. He now knew that he could not hope to make again so rich a haul as he had made through the defunct South Improvement scheme. The experience of the past year with the refiners convinced him that it would take time to educate them to his idea of combination; but he had learned who of them were capable of this education. As for the producers, the alliance attempted with them was enough to demonstrate that they would never endure long the restraints of any association. Besides, the bulk of them still held the, to him, unpractical belief that rebates were wrong. Mr. Rockefeller had re-learned in these eighteen months what he knew pretty well before, that the promise to give or take away a heavy freight traffic was enough to persuade any railroad king of the day to break the most solemn compact.

  • About Our High School
    About Our High School Digitized by: Max Isaksen 22 Aug 2018 About Fairhaven High School A booklet to acquaint students of Fairhaven High School with little-known facts about their school. COMPILED BY A SENIOR ENGLISH CLASS IN 1954 Mimeographing by courtesy of the Business Department of Fairhaven High School Funded by the Fairhaven High School Alumni Association PREFACE To those of its faculty, students and alumni who love Fairhaven High School, it comes, as a distinct shock to realize that very little authentic information about the school is available. We walk its corridors, realizing that we are indeed surrounded by beauty, but so used have we become to the unique qualities of our school, that we are no longer sensitive to its artistic appeal, curious about its history or grateful for its very distinct advantages. As the years creep on, information about the past of F.H.S. is harder and harder to come by. Charming legends and personal antidotes about the building and its founder are lost---carried only as they have been heretofore---on the tongues of those who gradually are passing from our scene. It has been felt, therefore, that there has developed a very real need to get down in black and white, facts about our school that can now be discovered only from diverse printed and written records, or are carried in the memories of our senior townspeople. A 1954 Senior English class of F.H.S. has undertaken this project, and in the following pages, lie the results of investigation by members of this group.

    1852-1930 Emily Jordan 1858-1936 A LIST OF THE RECORDS BELONGING TO MR AND MRS FOLGER IN THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY Compiled ca. 1965 ii INTRODUCTION The records of Mr and Mrs Folger which are in the Folger Shakespeare Library are only part of those which they must once have had. Certain kinds of papers, like the collection of booksellers' bills and receipts, have probably survived in their entirety. Others, like certain personal bills and letters, only sporadically. Mrs Folger sent ten cases of her . husband's books and papers to the Standard Oil, Company of New York in (See also her June 1932.

  • Docent Dispatch the Folger Shakespeare Library December 2010
    Docent Dispatch The Folger Shakespeare Library December 2010 Ten Folger Surprises: The 2010 Hoitsma Lecture by Dr. Stephen Grant On October 14, 2010, Dr. Stephen Grant delivered the annual Hoitsma Lecture, named in honor of Muriel Hoitsma, an active docent of this institution in the early years of the docent program. Dr. Grant indicated, in his opening remarks that after a tour of the Library, he, as an Amherst graduate, and a biographer, was interested in finding out more about the Folgers. He was surprised to learn there was no book-length biography of the Folgers. After receiving permission to prepare such a biography, he began work. Dr. Grant's talk was entitled "Ten Folger Surprises." It was really a marvelous in-depth look at Henry and Emily Folger, throughout their lives. With apologies to Dr. Grant for a bit of rearrangement of his excellent presentation, here are the ten surprises (and an extra one or two). 1. Nantucket and the Folger family history. There have been Foulgers/Folgers on Nantucket Island for close to 350 years. The first, Peter Foulger, arrived from East Anglia in the 1660s. His daughter, Abiah, married Josiah Franklin, of Boston. Their son was Benjamin Franklin. Henry Folger, Sr. (the father of Henry, Jr., the founder of the Library), left Nantucket in 1849, along with his two brothers. Henry moved to New York and became a milliner. One of the other brothers, James, went west, to California. He didn't find gold, but he did establish Folger's Coffee Company and began to grind and package coffee.

  • Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947
    Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947 Transcribed from the American Art Annual by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director, Maine Historic Preservation Commission. Between 1897 and 1947 the American Art Annual and its successor volume Who's Who in American Art included brief obituaries of prominent American artists, sculptors, and architects. During this fifty-year period, the lives of more than twelve-hundred architects were summarized in anywhere from a few lines to several paragraphs. Recognizing the reference value of this information, I have carefully made verbatim transcriptions of these biographical notices, substituting full wording for abbreviations to provide for easier reading. After each entry, I have cited the volume in which the notice appeared and its date. The word "photo" after an architect's name indicates that a picture and copy negative of that individual is on file at the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. While the Art Annual and Who's Who contain few photographs of the architects, the Commission has gathered these from many sources and is pleased to make them available to researchers. The full text of these biographies are ordered alphabetically by surname: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z For further information, please contact: Earle G.
