  • Lieux De Mémoire Française Aux Etats-Unis D'amérique
    Lieux de Mémoire française aux Etats-Unis d’Amérique (Inventaire en cours) v.10 (F) – Mise à jour 1er mars 2021 1 Statue de la Liberté Liberty Island, New York, NY 10004 https://www.nps.gov/stli/index.htm 40°41ʹ21ʺN 74°2ʹ40ʺW v Offerte en témoignage d’amitié par le peuple français aux États-Unis, la statue monumentale la plus célèbre du monde est l’oeuvre du sculpteur Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. Sa charpente métallique fut conçue par Gustave Eiffel, également alsacien. Son appellation officielle est «la Liberté éclairant le monde». Elle est reconnue comme le symbole universel de la liberté et de la démocratie et devenue l’un des symboles des Etats-Unis. v L'idée d'un monument présenté par les Français aux États-Unis fut d’abord proposée par Edouard René de Laboulaye, président de la Société française anti-esclavagiste et éminent penseur politique de son temps. Fervent partisan de l'Union pendant la guerre civile américaine, il est censé avoir dit: «Si un monument devait s'élever aux États-Unis, en souvenir de leur indépendance, je pense qu'il serait naturel qu'il soit construit d’un commun effort - une œuvre commune de nos deux nations.” v Bartholdi pris sa propre mère comme modèle. Des dizaines de milliers de français, dont de nombreux écoliers, cotisèrent pour sa construction. Assemblée et désassemblée à Paris dans les ateliers Puget, ses plaques de cuivre furent numérotées et transportées dans des caisses. L'éditeur Joseph Pulitzer du NeW York World lança une campagne de dons pour construire le piédestal auprès de plus de 120 000 contributeurs, dont beaucoup étaient des immigrants récents.

  • Re: Town of Mansfield Agenda Item Summary Town
    Item #6 Town of Mansfield Agenda Item Summary To: Town Council rJ From: Matt Hart, Town Manager li!!r;(7 CC: Maria Capriola, Assistant~~;,n Manager; Cherie Trahan, Director of Finance Date: September 28, 2015 Re: Mansfield Historical Society Request for Matching funds for CTHP Technical Assistance Grant Subject Matter/Background The Mansfield Historical Society is requesting the Town's assistance in meeting the matching requirement for a Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Grant (HPTAG) from the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation. The grant would pay for a conditions assessment of the two town-owned buildings currently occupied by the Society under a lease from the town: the 1843 Old Town Hall and the 1935 former Town Office Building. The buildings, located at 954 Storrs Road, accommodate the Society's museum collections, library, and exhibition space. The conditions assessment would identify all needed repairs, prioritize them, and provide a cost estimate for each repair. The HPTAG process has two parts: a pre-application form is due on October 15, 2015 and, if the Society is invited to submit a full proposal, it will be due on December 1, 2015. The source of matching funds must be indicated on the pre­ application form. If the Society's full application is approved, the funds for the conditions assessment would be available in the Spring of 2016. Both of the Society-occupied, town-owned buildings are in need of serious repairs and must also be brought into compliance with ADA standards. The buildings suffer from leaks, water-damaged walls, and constantly wet basements. The exteriors of the buildings will need to be re-painted - a project that will require lead abatement.
