It consists of 26 city.blocks and contains about 500 buildings'. The hyphenated name, ' SoHo-Cast Iron1' was chosen for the designation of New York City's twenty-third Historic District in order to suggest some'of the diversity of the area. The 'Cast Iron' portion of the name refers to the unique collection of cast-iron structures located within the District. ,;SoHo,!; meaning "South of Houston," is the acronym adopted by a group of;artists who moved, in the 1960s, into what then seemed* to be a doomed neighborhood. They, have given it a new life, making feasible the: preservation of an irreplaceable part of our cultural heritage. The.use of the double name is also intended to suggest that, even architecturally, the District contains more than just cast-iron buildings, important though they are. Indeed, the District contains some of the City's most interesting extant examples of brick, stone and mixed iron-and-masonry commercial construction of the post-Civil War period. The body of this designation report is divided into three parts: Part I_ discusses the social and economic history and the architectural develop­ ment of the area, and provides background information on the use of cast iron as a building material and its application to architectural forms. Through this analysis, the following factors relating to the unique significance of the District are emphasized: (1) The social, cultural and economic history of the District has been, and is again becoming, as varied and colorful as any to be found in New York City.

    LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F SEPTEMBER 15, 2015–JANUARY 3, 2016 What makes a frame French? Discover the styles and techniques of French master carvers and gilders. This magnificent frame, a work of art in its own right, weighing 297 pounds, exemplifies French style under Louis XV (reigned 1723–1774). Fashioned by an unknown designer, perhaps after designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (French, 1695–1750), and several specialist craftsmen in Paris about 1740, it was commissioned by Gabriel Bernard de Rieux, a powerful French legal official, to accentuate his exceptionally large pastel portrait and its heavy sheet of protective glass. On this grand scale, the sweeping contours and luxuriously carved ornaments in the corners and at the center of each side achieve the thrilling effect of sculpture. At the top, a spectacular cartouche between festoons of flowers surmounted by a plume of foliage contains attributes symbolizing the fair judgment of the sitter: justice (represented by a scale and a book of laws) and prudence (a snake and a mirror). PA.205 The J. Paul Getty Museum © 2015 J. Paul Getty Trust LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F Frames are essential to the presentation of paintings. They protect the image and permit its attachment to the wall. Through the powerful combination of form and finish, frames profoundly enhance (or detract) from a painting’s visual impact. The early 1600s through the 1700s was a golden age for frame making in Paris during which functional surrounds for paintings became expressions of artistry, innovation, taste, and wealth. The primary stylistic trendsetter was the sovereign, whose desire for increas- ingly opulent forms of display spurred the creative Fig.

When it opened in September of 1887 it was an experiment, a response to the immigrants’desire to practice Orthodox Judaism, and to do so in America, their new Promised Land. Today the Eldridge Street Synagogue is Tthe only building on the Lower East Side—once the largest Jewish city in the world—earmarked for broad and public exploration of the American Jewish experience. The Museum at Eldridge Street researches the history of the building, uncovering new ways and stories to bring the building and its history to life. Learning about the congregants and their history ties us to broader trends on the Lower East Side and in American history. To help explore these trends, the Museum at Eldridge Street asks leading scholars to lend their expertise.

  • Acanthus a Stylized Leaf Pattern Used to Decorate Corinthian Or
    Historical and Architectural Elements Represented in the Weld County Court House The Weld County Court House blends a wide variety of historical and architectural elements. Words such as metope, dentil or frieze might only be familiar to those in the architectural field; however, this glossary will assist the rest of us to more fully comprehend the design components used throughout the building and where examples can be found. Without Mr. Bowman’s records, we can only guess at the interpretations of the more interesting symbols used at the entrances of the courtrooms and surrounding each of the clocks in Divisions 3 and 1. A stylized leaf pattern used to decorate Acanthus Corinthian or Composite capitals. They also are used in friezes and modillions and can be found in classical Greek and Roman architecture. Amphora A form of Greek pottery that appears on pediments above doorways. Examples of the use of amphora in the Court House are in Division 1 on the fourth floor. Atrium Inner court of a Roman-style building. A top-lit covered opening rising through all stories of a building. Arcade A series of arches on pillars. In the Middle Ages, the arches were ornamentally applied to walls. Arcades would have housed statues in Roman or Greek buildings. A row of small posts that support the upper Balustrade railing, joined by a handrail, serving as an enclosure for balconies, terraces, etc. Examples in the Court House include the area over the staircase leading to the second floor and surrounding the atria on the third and fourth floors.

    July 2005 Volume 36, Issue 3 Court Rules: Historic Designation of Coronado Belt Line Unlawfully Set Aside by City Council SUSAN BRANDT HAWLEY The San Diego Historical Resources Board has declared after careful review that the portion of the Coronado Belt Line railway located in San Diego is a historic site. At the request of the MTDB and Councilmember Ralph Inzunza, the City Council overturned the Board’s desig- nation in 2004 against the recommendations of City staff and the City Manager, with Councilmember Donna Frye as the sole dissenting vote. Save Our Heritage Organisa- tion (SOHO) sued the City because, as City staff pointed out, there was no legal basis to overturn the historic status. (San Diego Superior Court Case GIC837743.) On July 15th, San Diego Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Prager ruled in favor of SOHO, agreeing that the City acted unlawfully and granting a peremptory writ requir- ing the City to set aside its action. (See ruling at www.sandiego.courts.ca.gov.) Photo/Bruce Coons The Coronado Belt Line looped around the San Diego coastline and up the Silver Strand to Coronado as part of the Spreckels railroad empire, contributing to San Diego’s growth and vitality as it linked the City with the harbor and South Bay communities. From 1888 until the mid-20th century, the Belt Line regularly transported residents, visitors, World War I and II military shipments, agricultural products, building materials, and commer- cial and industrial wares through the region. SOHO Executive Director Bruce Coons said, “This is an important precedent proving that the City Council can not arbitrarily overturn historic designations just because they want to approve some ill-advised development scheme.

  • John Stryker Wa-; Buried in the Middle of a Fifteen Acre Field on His Own Farn1, and the Inscription on the Stone Reads
    OF THE • • STRYCKER FAMILY. COMPILED BY WILLIA!\1 S. STRYKER, OF Trenton, New Jersey. PRINTED FOR PRI\'.'" ..a\.1'E DISTRIBlJTION. CA~!DEN, N. J. : SINNICKSOS CH.£\V, PRI:-lTER, COR. FRONT AND ~[ARKET STREETS. 1887. PREF AGE. No one, in the :uidst pf the duties and cares of a busy life, ,vho seeks, as I have done, to record the names and history of one's ancestry, but must in stnne measure be impressed with the truth uttered by the wisest of n1en,-'' the glory of children are their fathers." It is also equally true in this i1npetuous age tha.t " an ungrateful generation neglects the n1en1ory of its fathers." The n1otive is then apparent which must actuate the n1ind of hin1 who atten1pts the often barren task of sin1ply n1apping out the line and pointing out, it rnay be, the sturdy worth of his fan1ily stock. In An1erica, with our den1ocratic tendencies, we too often lose sight of our progenitors and let each _generation come and go \Vith scarcely any record of the brave n1en and the good won1en, of those prominent in public life or those who adorned the ho1ne-circle, and think if we ourselves perforn1 what our hands find to do that then our full duty is done. To fill up the n1easure of what otherwise appears to n1e inexcusable neglect, to perforn1 an act which may be of son1e historical value is the sole_ purpose of this work. But a very few copies have been printed and it is intended to distribute then1 privately in the fan1ily referred to.
