For over 240 road would be given a family name, due to the con - years, at least seven generations of the Roberts family stant moving around, and departures from the town, have put down roots on the eastern slope of "their" an exception was made in this case, in deference to the hill. When Greene County was formed in 1800, this area became part of the town of Coxsackie. It became part of New Baltimore when that town was formed in 1811 – although the area is often referred to as West Coxsackie. But this is due to the postal route, not its legal delineation. On August 23 1794, Edward Roberts entered into an Indenture with Isaac D. Ver Plank. The land on which the agreement is based, was situated in General Allotment No. Ten, Lot No. 1 of the Coeymans Patent, which was granted to Barent Pietersen Coeymans on April 7, 1673. The Patent map clearly displays the Deep Kill as the division between Lot No. 1 in the Tenth Allotment, and The Houghtaling Patent to its west. From this area, later generations radiated out - ward in many directions. The 1794 agreement surfaces in the probate records of Edward's son, Elias. On March 11, 1854, Elias agreed to pay off the $400, plus interest still due, to the then-owner of the debt, Benjamin B. Fredenburgh. For many years, the thoroughfare passing through the Roberts' property was known as the Stanton Hill Road. It officially became Roberts Hill Road during Here we see the Indenture that Edward Roberts the 1950s, when the New Baltimore Grange took on entered into with Isaac D. Ver Plank.

  • URBAN PALIMPSESTS Tas Marcela Rueda, David Zhai, Ines Yupanqui
    Karla Rothstein GSAPP Summer 2019 MSAAD studio 24.May.2019 ​ URBAN PALIMPSESTS TAs Marcela Rueda, David Zhai, Ines Yupanqui A city is a machine with innumerable parts made by the accumulation of human gestures, a colossal organism forever dying and being born, an ongoing conflict between memory and erasure… an argument about how to live, and evidence that differences don’t always have to be resolved, though they may grate and grind against each other for centuries. 1 - Rebecca Solnit, Nonstop Metropolis ​ In cities, successions of diverse occupants and programs inhabit the same space over unfolding epochs. A palimpsest both erases and accrues, with layers of time, emergent technological capacities, ​ ​ and political and social change contouring the urban environment. Traces of the past may linger, but stasis is not characteristic of a healthy city nor any vital ecology. Imagining and working toward new possibility requires belief in the likelihood of change. In cities ​ around the globe today, the ways in which we live merit urgent and thoughtful reconsideration. This is a ​ project with profound social, creative, and infrastructural implications. Through design, urban ​ ​ ​ planning, and a critical understanding of past and present realities, we will proactively construct public ​ spaces for vibrant future civic life. ​ Though few residents of modern global cities regularly see or acknowledge it, death is intertwined with almost everything else in life. Human civilizations have historically built around and above the ​ remains of their dead. Over time, especially in dense urban contexts, mortality has been socially and ​ spatially marginalized. As the visible presence of absence recedes, a psychic disconnect widens, ​ alienating us from the perspective and sense of responsibility that the consciousness of mortality evokes.

  • Chapter 8: Historic Resources
    Chapter 8: Historic Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter analyzes the potential of the Proposed Actions to impact historic resources, which include both archaeological and architectural resources. The Proposed Actions would result in the rezoning of the approximately 35-acre Project Area, which was predominantly developed in the early 20th century and contains a number of notable, undesignated historic structures. Several of these resources are located in the Academic Mixed-Use Area (Subdistrict A), the 17 acres to be redeveloped by Columbia. To understand fully historic issues and to prepare a comprehensive historic resources analysis, Columbia has consulted with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). The historic resources analysis has been prepared in accordance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), and the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 (SHPA). These laws and regulations require that City and State agencies, respectively, consider the impacts of their actions on historic properties. This technical analysis follows the guidance of the 2001 CEQR Technical Manual. The CEQR Technical Manual recommends that an analysis of archaeological resources be undertaken for actions that would result in any in-ground disturbance. It also recommends that an architectural resources assessment be performed if a proposed action would result in any of the following (even if no known architectural resources are located nearby): new construction; physical alteration of any building; change in scale, visual context, or visual setting of any building, structure, object, or landscape feature; or screening or elimination of publicly accessible views.
