In 1916 , the archbishop of Tarragona sold the place to Charles Deering , who made a romantic restoration with the Romanesque and Gothic elements preserved. The property stayed in the Deering family until 1992.

In 1910, Deering bought for 40,000 pesetas the Hospital de San Juan Baptista. And it was renamed Maricel. The simple building and other houses around it were transformed into a luxurious residence, with gothic windows and other elements acquired throughout Spain. For nine years, Deering installed his great art collection. Charles Deering, who spent several seasons in Maricel, became a benefactor of Sitges, helping in the development of the new hospital, offering donations to the parochial church and various social works, achievements for which he declared the Adopted Son in 1916. The neo-Romanesque chapel, with a single nave, has a valuable altarpiece from the 16th century bought by Deering for Maricel in 1910 and donated to the hospital for the 1912 inauguration. Next to the hospital, is a vineyard of 3,500 square meters where the famous grapes of malvasia are grown. Its wine fund the hospital activities. In the cellar of the foundation, there are 16,000 bottles of four varieties of wine made with grapes of malvasia.

In late summer of 1847 my grandfather, Cyrus Hall McCormick, came to Chicago to manufacture an improved model of the reaper he had invented and publicly demonstrated sixteen years earlier in Virginia. The little reaper plant which he founded, and de­ veloped through the years with the assistance of his two brothers, is now represented in the Chicago area by six International Harvester Company factories, a manufacturing research center, a central school for Harvester personnel, a Harvester printing plant, gen­ eral offices, and a number of motor truck sales branches. More than 30,000 Harvester men and women are now employed in Chicago. It is fitting at this time to pay tribute to the man whose genius laid the groundwork for Harvester's ex­ tensive operations in Chicago as well as in the rest of the world.

  • Roman Altar & Lombardic Columns
    Roman Altar & Lombardic Columns VIZCAYA MUSEUM AND GARDENS, MIAMI, FL SERVICES PERFORMED Between 1914 and 1916, agricultural industrialist and one of the founders of the International Harvester Conservation Treatments Company, James Deering, built his European-inspired winter home on Biscayne Bay in Miami. This Research & Documentation property, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, is now a National Historic Landmark. The formal gardens Surveys & Condition Assessments include an outstanding collection of statuary and objects dating back to antiquity. These include a 2nd century Roman altar, formally in the Borghese collection, installed beside two 10th century Lombardic carved marble columns in the Fountain Garden. The garden was ooded in the storm surge of Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and both artifacts were subjected to extensive salt contamination as well as damage from ying and oating debris. We were contracted to restore the losses, desalinate, and clean the fragile ancient marbles. Each was extensively rinsed with clean, ltered water until salt readings were reduced to acceptable levels. Biological growth and soiling were removed by detergent washes and the use of biocides to remove deposits that still contained salts. Failed previous synthetic lls were removed and the voids were cleaned. Losses, including a part of the decorative band on the capital of one column, were replaced with lime-based mortars or stone dutchman repairs according to the client’s goals. Work was performed during treatment of more than 30 statues damaged in the hurricane. All work was documented in a treatment report submitted upon completion of the project.

  • Vizcaya by ADAM G
    Vizcaya By ADAM G. ADAMS The text of the plaque just unveiled is:* JAMES DEERING 1859-1925 James Deering of Chicago, a founder of the International Harvester Company, a pioneer developer of South Florida, noted connoisseur of the fine arts and distinguished philanthropist, built Vizcaya and lived there from 1916 until his death in 1925. In the buildings and gardens of Vizcaya, an expression of the classic Mediterranean spirit of Italy and France, unique in America, Mr. Deering brought to- gether many rare European art treasures, and inspired the designs which combine them so skillfully with local materials. Marion Deering McCormick and Barbara Deering Danielson, his nieces, made Vizcaya available to Dade County as a public art museum November 1952. The purpose of this plaque is to keep green the memory of the persons and events which have made possible this magnificent heritage of Dade County. The physical property is in wonderful condition. During the thirty years since Mr. Deering's death his heirs have kept constant vigilance against the ravages of time. And the Dade County Park Department continues careful maintenance and operation as a public museum. But it is now a public place! Let's put our fingers on the throbbing pulse of a great private home of an artistic, perfectionist bachelor millionaire. Mrs. C. J. Adair, for 35 years the housekeeper, arrived in February 1917, two months after Mr. Deering. Her staff numbered thirty-two, among them two French chefs, four butlers, four house men, and six house maids. All the maid's uniforms were made in the house, as well as the men's summer whites.

  • The Romance of the Reaper
    The Romance Of The Reaper By Herbert Newton Casson The Romance Of The Reaper CHAPTER I THE STORY OF MCCORMICK THIS Romance of the Reaper is a true fairy tale of American life—the story of the magicians who have taught the civilised world to gather in its harvests by machinery. On the old European plan—snip—snip—snipping with a tiny hand-sickle, every bushel of wheat required three hours of a man’s lifetime. To-day, on the new American plan—riding on the painted chariot of a self-binding harvester, the price of wheat has been cut down to ten minutes a bushel. “When I first went into the harvest field,” so an Illinois farmer told me, “it took ten men to cut and bind my grain. Now our hired girl gets on the seat of a self-binder and does the whole business.” This magical machinery of the wheat-field solves the mystery of prosperity. It explains the New Farmer and the miracles of scientific agriculture. It accounts for the growth of great cities with their steel mills and factories. And it makes clear how we in the United States have become the best fed nation in the world. Hard as it may be for this twentieth century generation to believe, it is true that until recently the main object of all nations was to get bread. Life was a Search for Food—a desperate postponement of famine. Cut the Kings and their retinues out of history and it is no exaggeration to say that the human race was hungry for ten thousand years.
