  • Ophir Farm History R5
    Ophir Farm and Manhattanville College Dear Visitor: Dating back to the 17th century, the story of Ophir Farm combines just the right mix of historical truth and local legend, and serves as a worthy heritage for Manhattanville College, now on the same site. This booklet provides a glimpse into the history, landscaping and architecture of both and is designed to supplement your walking tour with a chronological background that will make the buildings and scenery come alive. The Ophir Farm estate was once one of the nation’s most prominent model farms, an art form and hobby pursued by affluent farmers in the 1800's. Today, it includes a rich sampling from artisans who have worked on New York City’s Central Park, the White House, the Capitol, the campuses of Harvard and Columbia, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Lincoln Center. Our guide has been created, in part, to celebrate and preserve these treasures. Gayl Braisted compiled many of the sources in this history for her Masters thesis at Manhattanville. She was extremely generous with her time and allowed portions of her thesis to be printed herein. For more information about how you can help preserve Ophir Farm, please write to me at Manhattanville College, 2900 Purchase Street, Purchase, NY 10577 or call 914-323-5288.

The purpose of the series is to create a better understanding of the education process and the relation of education to human welfare. Chapter one discusses multicultural education, examining the concept of the melting pot, the "Americanization" idea, and the theory of cultural pluralism. Chapter two relates the story of three major immigrant groups: Italians, Jews, and Poles. In chapter three ethnic loyalties and affiliations are investigated. Chapter four examines the educational philosophy of Jane Addams, founder of Chicago's Hull House. Public schools and the upward mobility of immigrant children through them is the theme of chapter five. Specifically examined are bilingual edncation programs, curriculum materials dealing with ethnic cultures, how public education did or did not meet the needs of ethnic groups, and the "mainstream" American culture.

  • Mills Hotel No. 3
    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 28, 2014, Designation List 475 LP-2424 MILLS HOTEL NO. 3, 485 Seventh Avenue (aka 481-489 Seventh Avenue, 155-163 West 36th Street), Manhattan Built: 1906-07; architect, Copeland & Dole Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 812, Lot 1 On October 26, 2010, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Mills Hotel No. 3 and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. A total of three witnesses, including representatives of Assembly Member Richard N Gottfried, the Historic Districts Council, and the Victorian Society – New York spoke in favor of the designation. A representative of the owner testified in opposition to the designation. On October 14, 2010, the Full Board of Manhattan Community Board 5 adopted a resolution in support of the designation. On October 28, 2014 the Commission received a letter from Scott J. Avram, Senior Vice President of 485 Seventh Avenue Associates LLC, the contract vendee of the Mills Hotel Building, indicating its strong support for the designation. Summary Described by the New York Times as the “world’s biggest hotel” and the “finest for the use of men of limited means,” this handsome 16-story neo-Renaissance building, erected in 1906-07, was the third and largest of the three model residential hotels for single working men erected by Darius Ogden Mills at the turn of the 20th century. The building was noted in journals of the day for its restrained design that conveys the dignity of its mission, and its architectural expression was described as “a pride to the city.” Mills was a banker and philanthropist particularly concerned with the problems of housing the urban poor.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indisaticn that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
