  • UPSTATE ECHOES Is Arch Merrill's Ninth Book
    UPSTATE EcnfJes by ARCH MERRILL UPSTATE ECHOES is Arch Merrill's ninth book. like the others that have won so many thousands of readers, it is a regional book. Only, as its title implies, it embraces a larger region. Besides many a tale of the Western New York countryside about which Storyteller Merrill has been writing for more than a decade, in his lively, distinctive style, this new book offers fascinating chapters about other Upstate regions, among them the North Country, the Niagara Frontier and the Southern Tier. Through its pages walk colorful figures of the Upstate past- the fair lady a North Coun­ try grandee won by the toss of a coin- the onetime King of Spain who held court in the backwoods- the fabulous Elbert Hubbard, "The Fro" of East Aurora- the missionary martyrs and a silver-tongued infidel, natives of the land of Finger Lakes, who made his­ tory in their time- the movie stars who once made Ithaca, far above Cayuga's waters, a little Hollywood- the daredevils who through the years in barrels and boats and on tight ropes have sought to conquer the "thunder water" of Niagara. The past comes to life again in stories of historic mansions, covered bridges, Indian council fires and the oldtime glory of Char­ lotte, Rochester's lake port that once was "The Coney Island of the West." You will meet such interesting people as the last surviving sextuplet in America and the "The Wonderful Man" who leaped from a parachute at the age of 81. • UPSTATE ECHOES Other Books by ARcH MERRILL A RIVER RAMBLE THE LAKES COUNTRY THE RIDGE THE TOWPATH ROCHESTER SKETCH BOOK STAGE COACH TOWNS TOMAHAWKS AND OLD LACE LAND OF THE SENECAS UPSTATE ECHOES BY ARCH MERRILL Being an Assemblage of Stories about Unusual People, Places and Events in the Upstate New York of Long Ago and of Only Yesterday Many af Them Appeared in Whole or in Part in the Rochester N.Y.

  • Address: 1120 Faithful Street
    Address: 1120 Faithful Street Description of historic place: 1120 Faithful Street is a wood frame two-storey "severely" symmetrical Georgian Revival residence located in the southwestern quadrant of Victoria's Fairfield neighbourhood. The interior is also designated. Heritage value: The historic place, built in 1912, is valued for its architecture, its architect, its original owner, and what is says about housing for the growing merchant class during the building boom in pre-World War I Victoria. 1120 Faithful Street is valued as probably the best example of the Edwardian Classical Revival style in Victoria. The style, characterized by the revival of classical details such as applied columns, prominent cornices and entablatures, was monumental and imposing and so was popular with institutions such as banks and courthouses. Its setting in mature landscaped grounds adds to the monumentality of the structure. The separate garage was constructed at the same time as the house and is also a valued asset. A scroll wire fence with matching gate reinforces the architecture of the dwelling. There is heritage value in the architect Francis Mawson Rattenbury. Rattenbury was born in 1867 in Leeds, England, he arrived in Vancouver in 1891. He secured the commission for Legislative Buildings in Victoria soon after his arrival and also worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway as their Western Division Architect. His most well-known work for the CPR was the Empress, a Chateau-style hotel built in 1904-1908 in Victoria, with two wings added in 1909-1914. The architect, however, fell out with the CPR and went to work for their competition, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad.

  • Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great--Index
    Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great Elbert Hubbard In 1894, Elbert Hubbard began his series, Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great. Beginning in 1894, once a month, for 14 years, he wrote a new “little journey”. There are 180 “Little Journeys,” of those men and women who, “transformed the thought of their time, changed the course of the empire, and marked the destiny of civilization.” Hubbard’s work is considered a classic. Hubbard’s “little journeys”, sometimes compared to Plutarch’s Lives, are a bridge from Plutarch’s lives of Greeks and Romans to Edison’s time. Like Plutarch, Hubbard’s miniature biographies were composed for his own personal benefit and his information and inspiration came from original sources. These mini biographies were published in 1928 by Elbert Hubbard’s son, Bert Hubbard, using Elbert Hubbard’s own printing and bookmaking shop, Roycrofting, Incorporated. In May of 1915 Elbert Hubbard and his wife, Alice, left for Europe aboard the Lusitania. A German submarine sunk the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland; both Elbert and Alice died as a result. His son Bert took over the family businesses and shops, which were numerous at that time. Hubbard describes himself as an anarchist and a socialist, so some care should be taken with respect to some of these biographies. Index - preface material Volume 1 Preface, Elbert Hubbard Autobiography (written 1902) Volume 2 Elbert Hubbard II, (Bert Hubbard) farewell to his father (written 1915) Volume 3 The Little Journeys Camp Volume 1 Good Men and Great George Eliot p.

  • Grand Trunk Railway
    History of the Grand Trunk Railway Local History at the St. Thomas Public Library 10 November 1852: The Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) is formally incorporated to construct a main railway line serving Ontario and Quebec, connecting Chicago with Portland, Maine. It is financed by a group of private British investors and fronted by Sir Francis Hincks, who is determined to build a main trunk line for eastern Canada. 1853: The Grand Trunk purchases five small railroad companies: the St. Lawrence & Atlantic (which reaches from Longueil, Quebec to Portland, Maine), Quebec & Richmond, Toronto & Guelph, Grand Junction, and Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada East. October 1856: The main line between Montreal and Toronto is opened. It is built with the Canadian Standard Gauge, 5’6”. December 1859: The Victoria Bridge is opened to traffic. It is a tubular bridge built originally for rail traffic, although lanes for automobiles will be added in 1927. It is the first bridge to span the St. Lawrence River, and is built especially for withstanding the ice and winter conditions of the river. The Victoria Bridge, Montreal, Quebec. 1859: An extension of the main line to Sarnia via Guelph, Stratford, and London is opened. The Grand Trunk Railway now provides through transportation from Sarnia to the Atlantic coast, a distance of 800 miles. 1860: The Grand Trunk acquires an extension from Quebec City to Rivière-du-Loup. 1861: The GTR has accumulated a debt of several hundred thousand pounds sterling as the result of expansion and overestimating the demand for rail service. Sir Edward William Watkin, railway chairman and politician, is sent from London to sort out the company’s financial situation.
