S ^ %?T ruins X altered moved date __. fair unexposed Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance The Ann Street Historic District is a small group of buildings, twenty-two in all, situated in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Most of the buildings are three-to six-story commercial or light industrial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century. In addition, the district includes two churches, an 1899 apartment building, the 1890 City Missionary Building, and the Masonic Temple (1894). The buildings front directly on the sidewalk and are set close together or are actually joined, so that for the most part, the buildings form a continuous wall/ with varied heights, colors and designs marking the individual buildings. One notable feature of the district is "The Russian Lady," a large and unusual piece of architectural sculpture at 191 Ann Street. (Photograph 11) In addition to Ann Street,which forms the north-south axis, the district includes historic buildings on four intersecting east^vest streets: Allyn Street, Asylum Street, Hicks Street, and Pearl Street. The boundaries of the district were determined on both visual and architectural criteria. To the north is 1-84, with its entrance and exit ramps forming a strong visual terminus to the district. On the east is the large and imposing Hartford Civic Center, occupying nearly the entire eastern side of Ann Street north of its intersection with Asylum Street. To the west and south are vacant lots and buildings of recent construction: the district was extended as far down the intersecting streets as would include relevant historic building. With three exceptions, the buildings were all judged to make a significant contribution to the district, either because of their architectural distinction, their historical associations, or both. Because of continuing demolition by business, government, and Church groups, the district necessarily includes some vacant lots. ptfhile these represent obvious holes in the streetscape, they do not prevent the perception that the buildings form an entity unified by form, materials, function and style. The buildings in this district are closely related to the adjacent Goodwin Block National Register District. That district included only a portion of the buildings actually on that block. The Ann Street district described in this nomination complements the Goodwin Block (photograph 22) by including two buildings (photograph 12) which continue the line of buildings on the Goodwin Block's north side by including those buildings on Pearl Street and Ann Street which directly abut the south and west sides of the Goodwin Block District. In the inventory which follows, the contributing buildings are numbered to correspond with the numbers in the property owner's list and the district sketch map.

  • Vanishing Power Lines and Emerging Distributed Generation
    5-WARREN FINAL.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/15/2014 2:53 PM VANISHING POWER LINES AND EMERGING DISTRIBUTED GENERATION GINA S. WARREN† I. INTRODUCTION “Right now, I’d put my money on distributed resources.”1 xperts predict that distributed energy will contribute as much Eas twenty percent of the U.S. power supply by 2020.2 While no one will wake up tomorrow morning to an entirely new energy distribution system—complete with solar panels on the roof and a wind turbine in the back yard—distributed generation is receiving significant attention as the disruptive technology that will ultimately revolutionize the way energy is delivered in the United States. The reason for this shift is, in part, due to new technology that allows for more flexible localized generation of energy, and in part due to a changing climate resulting in frequent and violent storms that destroy large-scale energy infrastructure. A variety of distributed energy technologies are available today, including solar photovoltaic panels, battery storage, and micro turbines. These innovative technologies are not only appealing to today’s tech-savvy customers, they are also becoming more economically accessible to the average customer. This shift in customer behavior will directly threaten the current energy delivery model. The more customers utilize distributed generation † Gina S. Warren is an associate professor at Texas A&M University School of Law. Thank you Professors K.K. DuVivier and Joshua Fershee for your thorough and thoughtful comments and helpful guidance on this article (though any mistakes or overstatements are solely my own).

  • Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context
    Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context Scott T. Hanson Sutherland Conservation & Consulting August 2015 General context Development of Colonial Falmouth European settlement of the area that became the city of Portland, Maine, began with English settlers establishing homes on the islands of Casco Bay and on the peninsula known as Casco Neck in the early seventeenth century. As in much of Maine, early settlers were attracted by abundant natural resources, specifically fish and trees. Also like other early settlement efforts, those at Casco Bay and Casco Neck were tenuous and fitful, as British and French conflicts in Europe extended across the Atlantic to New England and both the French and their Native American allies frequently sought to limit British territorial claims in the lands between Massachusetts and Canada. Permanent settlement did not come to the area until the early eighteenth century and complete security against attacks from French and Native forces did not come until the fall of Quebec to the British in 1759. Until this historic event opened the interior to settlement in a significant way, the town on Casco Neck, named Falmouth, was primarily focused on the sea with minimal contact with the interior. Falmouth developed as a compact village in the vicinity of present day India Street. As it expanded, it grew primar- ily to the west along what would become Fore, Middle, and Congress streets. A second village developed at Stroudwater, several miles up the Fore River. Roads to the interior were limited and used primarily to move logs to the coast for sawing or use as ship’s masts.

  • AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY BUILDING, 150 Nassau Street (Aka 144-152 Nassau Street and 2-6 Spruce Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 15, 1999, Designation List 306 LP-2038 AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY BUILDING, 150 Nassau Street (aka 144-152 Nassau Street and 2-6 Spruce Street), Manhattan. Built 1894-95; Robert Henderson Robertson, architect; William W. Crehore, engineering consultant; John Downey, Atlas Iron Construction Co., and Louis Weber Building Co., builders. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 100, Lot 3.1 On March 16, 1999, the Landmarks Presetvation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the American Tract Society Building (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative of the building's owner stated that they were not opposed to designation. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the New York Landmarks Consetvancy and the Historic Districts Council. In addition, the Commission received several letters in support of designation.

Erie Maritime Museum The building that houses the museum was formerly the generator building of the Pennsylvania Electric Company Front Street Generating Station, a coal-fired steam power plant. Coal-fired power plants are the main customers of the coal mining industry, of course. The museum contains some vintage equipment, including a steam turbine generator set (Unit #3) of 1926 vintage. This plant was in operation from 1917 until the plant closed in 1991.

  • 2338 [New York, September 5, 1882] EDISON's ILLUMINATORS.A In
    2338 [New York, September 5, 1882] EDISON’S ILLUMINATORS.a Anonymous Article in THE FIRST DISTRICT BRILLIANT WITH THE the New York Herald INCANDESCENT LAMP—THE ISOLATED SYSTEM IS IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.1 In stores and business places throughout the lower quarter of the city there was a strange glow last night. The dim flicker of gas, often subdued and debilitated by grim and uncleanly globes, was supplanted by a steady glare, bright and mellow, which illuminated interiors and shone through windows fixed and unwavering. From the outer darkness these points of light looked like drops of flame suspended from the jets and ready to fall at every moment. Many scurrying by in the preoccupation of the moment failed to see them, but the attention of those who chanced to glance that way was at once arrested. It was the glowing incandescent lamps of Edison, used last evening for the first time in the practical illumination of the first of the dis- tricts into which the city had been divided. The lighting, which this time was less an experiment than the regular inauguration of the work, was eminently satisfactory. Albeit there had been doubters at home and abroad who showed a disposition to scoff at the work of the Wizard of Menlo Park and insinuate that the practical application of his invention would fall far short of what was expected of it, the test was fairly stood, and the luminous horseshoes did their work well. For a long time the company have been at work preparing for the lighting of the dis- trict.

We aim to improve quality of life by promoting innovative solutions that challenge mainstream thinking on economic, environmental and social issues. We work in partnership and put people and the planet first. nef (the new economics foundation) is a registered charity founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES), which forced issues such as international debt onto the agenda of the G7/G8 summit meetings. We have taken a lead in helping establish new coalitions and organisations, such as the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign; the Ethical Trading Initiative; the UK Social Investment Forum; and new ways to measure social and environmental well-being. Nuclear power is being promoted as the answer to climate change and energy insecurity. But, as a response to global warming, it is too slow, too expensive and too limited. And in an age of terrorist threats, it is more of a security risk than a solution. Instead, the characteristics of a flexible, safe, secure and climate friendly energy supply system apply to renewable energy. In comparison, it leaves no toxic legacy and is abundant and cheap to harvest both in the UK and globally.
