The site includes a two-story office building and attached one-story former manufacturing building. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark and Protected Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Star Engraving Company Building at 3201 Allen Parkway was designed in 1930 by architect R.B. Steele in the Spanish Mediterranean-style and built on a small bluff overlooking Buffalo Bayou. For nearly half a century, the Star Engraving Company manufactured and sold high school class rings and other commencement-related products, such as engraved diplomas and graduation announcements. Incorporated in Houston in 1911, the company’s trade territory grew to encompass 16 Southern states. The Star Engraving Company is the most intact commercial building designed by architect Steele, who practiced in Houston from 1892 until his death in 1936. Steele’s extant body of work includes the Henke Building on Market Square, Baptist Temple in the Heights, and Sidney Lanier Middle School. Steele also designed the first suburban-style auto-oriented grocery store in Houston in 1923 for the Henke-Pillot grocery chain on Travis Street. Constructed in 1925-26, Allen Parkway linked Houston’s downtown with the new garden suburb of River Oaks.

    Will They Still Be Dancing?

    WILL THEY STILL BE DANCING? INTEGRATION AND ETHNIC TRANSFORMATION AMONG YUGOSLAV IMMIGRANTS IN SCANDINAVIA By Carl-Ulrik Schierup and Aleksandra Alund Department of Sociology University of Umea Sweden 1986 "Collective dancing or singing, particularly spectacular cases of the synchro­ nization of the homogeneous and the orchestration of the heterogenous, are everywhere predisposed to symbolize group integration and, by symbolizing it, to strengthen it" Pierre Bourdieu' Front Cover: Wallachian chain-dance in a Danish provincial town © 1987 Carl-Ulrik Schierup and Alexandra Alund Printed in Sweden by Graphic Systems AB Giitehorg, 1987 ISBN 9122-00836-5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Indulged with sociological self-centeredness we have reduced vampires to mechanisms of social cohesion. Hence,we have questioned a culture, seeing vampires as what they are, the dead ones haunting the living. Ifour interpreta­ tions have shown contempt towards vampires, we apologize for our mundane limitations, and thank them for the inspiration. We also thank all those living beings who have helped us through our voyage through the past and present. We give special thoughts to Baba Mitra, Baba Inda, and other great Wallachian mothers, who have received us with hospitality and endured our incessant questioning. For their excellent cooperation: Miroslav Panojevic, Ljubce Muncanovic, Stale Zulumovski, Nada and Aleksandar Serafimovski and many others in Denmarkand Sweden. Special thanks also to Steven Sampson and Michel Vale for their great patience and meticulous scrutinizing of our English. Steven Sampson, Lasse Petterson, Billy Ehn, Ole H\'Siris, Georg Karlsson, Rune Aberg and Christian Horst have read and criticized the manuscript and helped us with valuable suggestions. Finally, for their generous financial support we thank the following organiza­ tions: The Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, The Danish Social Science Research Council and the Danish International Development Agency.

The New Beauty Council Investigates – When Form Becomes Behaviour The New Beauty Council (NBC) project, in its different forms and shapes, is about the multiple perceptions of urban space and design. NBC’s work includes performances, public projects, speaker series, urban curating and collaborations that engage innovative strategies of production as well as dialogues. NBC investigates how concepts of the public are constituted and how beauty and ugliness can be (re-)defined. Using the idea of the carnivalesque as a method, NBC engages with organizations and institutions, which shape and interpret cities through public conversations and staged situations. The founding members are Annika Enqvist, Anna Kharkina, Thérèse Kristiansson and Kristoffer Svenberg. A recent project is Changed Perspectives c/o Stockholm City Museum – comprising four public talks about living in and making use of Stockholm as a city. These conversations were curated and performed by Annika Enqvist and Thérèse Kristiansson.1 The research and subjects of the series in general, and one of the talks; Whatever Blows Our Trumpet in particular, are the basis of this paper. Lounging the NBC as a collaborative initiative, building the website, producing the public talks and curating other works have been a part of the practical part of my MA project.

    Environmental Assessment for Houston Optimization of Airspace and Procedues in the Metroplex Appendix I INVENTORY OF HISTORIC SITES AND NOISE EXPOSURE This appendix documents the inventory of historical resources identified for the Houston Optimization of Airspace Procedures in the Metroplex (OAPM) Environmental Assessment. Included are those historical sites previously catalogued and any new changes since the previous inventory on July 25th, 2012. This appendix also presents noise exposure values for all inventoried sites. I.1.1 Inventory The inventory list is composed of all identified Historic Places and Historic Districts within the Houston OAPM EA primary study area, for either of the following two sources: • The National Historic Register o Downloaded July 3, 2012 from http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/Download.html • Texas Historical Commission o Downloaded March 7, 2012 from ftp://ftp.thc.state.tx.us/ The two data sources overlap and most resources appear in both data sets. Where information was available from both sources, information from the Texas Historical Commission was used. Names are as they appear in the original source. The reference number provided by the respective agency was kept in the inventory. For those properties that are listed by both agencies, the reference number is the same. Table I.1 provides a listing of all historic resources by • Reference number • Source Listing • County • City • Historic Place Name • Alternate Name • Address I.1.2 Initial Consultation The inventory of Historic Places (July 12, 2012) and Historic Districts (as of July 12, 2012) was sent to the following agencies in letters dated July 20, 2012 as part of the Houston OAPM initial consultation (see Appendix J).
