Federal Hall National Memorial (Social Studies) Teacher Ranger Teacher- Professional Development Opportunity Interpretation and Education Professional Development Opportunity Summer 2019 Teacher-Ranger-Teacher in NYC – Federal Hall National Memorial (Social Studies) The Teacher Ranger Teacher program is a professional development opportunity for K-12 teachers to spend the summer acquiring new skills in experiential learning through a program provided by a partnership between the National Park Service (NPS) and the University of Colorado Denver (CUD). The participants spend between four and six weeks in an NPS unit developing a major educational project and participating in an online graduate course from CU Denver. The goal of the program is to train teachers in the resources and themes of the NPS so that they can return to their schools in the fall and incorporate their new skills into their classroom activities. NPS aims to especially reach students from underserved schools and districts by recruiting teachers from Title 1, urban or rural schools and from tribal schools to participate in the Teacher Ranger Teacher program.

Additional Information: The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking a classroom educator to create standards-based curriculum materials for the Federal Hall National Memorial in Manhattan. The materials created will be made available to the public to prepare and enhance class visits to the national memorial, but also support classroom instruction for educators who cannot visit. While the selectee will meet with and collaborate with the staff of the national memorial, the vast majority of the selectee’s work may be completed off-site at their own discretion, as long as all deadlines and quality requirements are met. 26 Wall Street was the site of New York City's 18th-century City Hall. Here John Peter Zenger was jailed, tried, and acquitted of libel for exposing government corruption in his newspaper - an early victory for freedom of the press. City Hall hosted the Stamp Act Congress, which assembled in October 1765 to protest "taxation without representation." After the American Revolution, the Continental Congress met at City Hall and, in 1787, adopted the Northwest Ordinance, establishing procedures for creating new states. Teacher Ranger Teacher- Professional Development Opportunity Interpretation and Education When the Constitution was ratified in 1788, New York remained the national capital. Pierre L'Enfant was commissioned to remodel the City Hall for the new federal government. The First Congress met in the now Federal Hall and wrote the Bill of Rights. George Washington was inaugurated here as the country's first President on April 30, 1789. When the capital moved to Philadelphia in 1790, the building again housed city government until 1812, when Federal Hall was demolished. The current structure on the site was built as a Customs House, opening in 1842. In 1862, Customs moved to 55 Wall Street, and the building became the US Sub-Treasury. Millions of dollars of gold and silver were kept in the basement vaults, until the Federal Reserve Bank replaced the Sub-Treasury system in 1920.

Places such as St. Paul's Chapel and Federal Hall National Memorial exemplify a number of sites which have been awarded special status by the Federal Government. The sites appearing in this guide are included in the following programs which have given them public recognition and helped to assure their survival. National Park Service Since its inauguration in 1916, the National Park Service has been dedicated to the preservation and management of our country's unique national, historical and recreational areas. The first national park in the world—Yellowstone—has been followed by the addition of over 300 sites in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The hearing was continued to January 30, 1996 (Item No. 2). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eight witnesses spoke in favor of the designation including representatives of Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger, Council Member Kathryn Freed, the Municipal Art Society, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Historic Districts Council, and the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 21, 2011; Designation List 443 LP-2441 CITIES SERVICE BUILDING, 70 Pine Street (aka 66-76 Pine Street, 2-18 Cedar Street, 171-185 Pearl Street), Manhattan. Built 1930-32; Clinton & Russell, Holton & George, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 41, Lot 1. On May 10, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Cities Service Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Six people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the owners, Manhattan Community Board 1, the Historic Districts Council, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The former Cities Service Building at 70 Pine Street is a 66-story skyscraper, rising from a trapezoidal site bounded by Pine Street, Cedar Street, and Pearl Street. An icon of the lower Manhattan skyline, the building’s shaft terminates in a slender pinnacle crowned by an illuminated lantern and stainless steel spire. At the time of completion in 1932, this Art Deco style tower was the tallest structure in lower Manhattan, and at 952 feet, the third tallest structure in the world. Commissioned by a major American corporation, it was an expression of the owner’s success, escalating real estate costs, and the current zoning code that required buildings to diminish in mass as they rise. The Cities Service Company was chartered by Henry L. Doherty in 1910, and quickly grew to become one of the largest corporations in the United States, controlling approximately 150 energy firms in 38 states, including numerous oil and power suppliers.

  • The Landmark Collection Cipriani Event Venues New York City Harry’S Bar 1931
    The Landmark Collection Cipriani Event Venues New York City Harry’s Bar 1931 Harry Pickering It all started in 1931 when a long-sought dream became reality and Giuseppe Cipriani opened the doors of Harry’s Bar. In a discreet stone building perched along a canal just off Piazza San Marco in Venice, he created a timeless and impeccably appointed establishment. His concept was to serve others as you would want to be served yourself. His vision of simple luxury came to touch the souls of people all over the world. Arrigo Cipriani Giuseppe Cipriani Sr. & Ernest Hemingway Through the decades, the Cipriani experience is renewed by successive generations of artists and composers, actors and socialites, and great human beings who define each age. Cipriani Landmark Collection SERVICE There is soul, and there are things. Imagine a world made up only of objects, A world of idle tools, A restaurant of nothing but tables and chairs, A large empty theater, or a deserted plaza in summer. They cry out for the service of man, The service to give them life. We call on man to display his splendid capabilities. And We observe with undivided attention, Because The little nuances in the quality of his service Give a flawless measure of his mind, They tell us frankly what his soul is worth, Because, To serve is first to love. Arrigo Cipriani “PURE. use only the finest, purest ingredients.” “FREEDOM. the availability of options with no imposition.” Cipriani 25 Broadway 25 Broadway, New York, NY 10004 The Cunard Building, designed by architect Benjamin Wistar Morris and completed in 1921, is an Italian neo-Renaissance inspired masterpiece, with 65 foot high ceilings, soaring marble columns and magnificent inlaid floors.
