FRAENKEL, Ph.D., Executive Director March 4, 1963 Dr. Robert H. Felix, Director NationalInstitute of Mental Health Bethesda 14, Maryland Dear Dr. Felix: It is with extreme pleasure that we transmit to you our final report on the Occupation Day Center For Mentally Retarded Adults.We have learned a great deal from this project and believe we have made a modest contribution to the field of mental retardation through the grant. As you read the report you of course cannot capture the excitement and spirit among the Staff, Trainees, and Volunteers. It is there. It is reflected in a twenty year old severely retarded male saying, "I can tie my shoelaces all by myself". It is caught up in a statement of a parent saying, "I am ao glad...my older daughter does not have to go to an Institution now; she can even make her own bed". You hear it in another parent who says, "We gave up all hope on Tom. Now he is workings Full timeIt's like a miracle happened!" When this project first started, the goals that were set were to developcertain self care skills; to improve socialization; to increase overall independence to whatever degree possible. Interestingly enough and to our utter amazement we found that we had underplayed potentials. We discovered two higher levels of achievement were possible- sheltered employ- ment and remunerative employment in the community. On the other hand we also documented the need for two steps in the other direction, leading toward our conviction that the rofoundly retarded can be served in, a community facility of this type. We offer to the retarded and their families and to the professionals who engage ita such challenging work, new information and a new program, which we believe has some import to all aerviceo for the adult retardate.

Fraenkel, Ph. D. Executive Director This project was supported in part, by a demonstration grant,No. OM-294, from the National Institute of Mental Health, Department of Health,Education and Welfare, Washington, D. C. 0:r#A,4-"' FOREWORD It is impossible to list all the individualsand agencies to whom this project is indebted. Manyare, and will remain, anonymous. This includes the group of de- termined parents who recognizedtheir children's needs and refused to acceptas inevitable that "Nothing is available." Their quiet insistence on implementing the Association's slogan, "Retarded ChildrenCan Be Helped," provided the impetus for an investigation of thefeasibility of a center for severely retarded adults. Particular appreciation is due to the 83 traineeswho came to learn but, in the process, also provided much needed understanding and instructionto the staff.The trainees' responses to staff's efforts actedas the greatest motivation to keep trying and provided the day by day stimulationnecessary to attempt continued improvements. The major costs of the project have been borne bythe National Institute of Men- tal Health, without whose help theprogram could not have taken its present form. Special thanks are due to the staff of N.I. M. H. for their recognition of the need for this demonstration and for their interestand cooperation through theyears. The great generosity of the Daughters of Israelin making available to the Oc- cupation Day Center the building that has housedthe program since its inception has eased the burden of finding and payingfor needed space in which to operate.The assurance of their continued support and their agreement to extendmore rooms for program purposes provides some assurance of continuation of activities. A large measure of thesuccess of the program is due to Mr. Arnold Cortazzo who acted as Director during; the grant periodand who has since transferred his activities to the National Association for RetardedChildren. The Ladies Charity Guild, the Giving Hands andthe Caroline League are among the philanthropic groups whose periodic contributions providedthe amenities that enriched some features ofprogram. Their continued interest was always welcome. 4 'The time and energies of Mrs. Muriel Geismar,Chair lady of the Committee of the Occupation Day Centerwere always available. Her readiness toassume responsibility for many chores lightened the load ofstaff and brightened the days of many trainees. Most especial thanks are due to Mrs. Deborah Tettler, secretary at the Oc- cupation Day Center, who typed the originalmanuscript and the finishedcopy with patience and good humor in the midst of buzzingswitchboards and the barrage of visits from trainees.

  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

  • Design a Subway Station Mosaic That Reflects Their Home Or School Neighborhood and Draw It
    MILES OF TILES MILES OF TILES BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS “Design and aesthetics have been a part of the subway from the original stations of 1904 to the latest work in 2018. But nothing in New York stands still – certainly not the subway - and the approach to subway style has evolved, reflecting the major stages of the system’s construction during the early 1900s, the teens, and the late 20s and early 30s and the renovations and redesigns of later years. The earliest parts of the system still convey the flowery, genteel flavor of a smaller, older city. Later sections, by contrast, show a conscious turn toward the modern, including open admiration for the system’s raw structural power. The evolution of subway design follows the trajectory of the world of art and architecture as these came to terms with the Industrial revolution, and the tug-of-war between a traditional deference to European models and a modernist ideology demanding an honest expression of contemporary industrial technology.” —Subway style: 100 years of Architecture & Design in the New York City Subway New York City, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was an industrial hub attracting many Americans from rural communities looking for work, and immigrants looking for better lives. It was, however, blighted by impoverished neighborhoods of broken down tenements and social injustice. The city lacked a plan for how it should look, where structures should be built, or how services should be distributed. It was described as a ‘ragged pincushion of towers’ with no government regulation over the urban landscape.

  • The New York City Subway
    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

  • Chapter 7: Historic Resources
    Chapter 7: Historic Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential of the proposed actions to affect historic resources, both archaeological and architectural. It has been prepared in accordance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) guidelines, which require that City agencies consider the effects of their actions on historic properties. In accordance with CEQR guidelines, this analysis identifies all historic resources that have been designated or determined to meet the eligibility requirements for local, state, or national designation, and it also identifies properties that may meet such eligibility requirements. In assessing potential project effects on historic resources, this analysis follows the guidance of the CEQR Technical Manual. The CEQR Technical Manual recommends that a historic resources assessment be performed if a proposed action would result in any of the following actions: in-ground disturbance; new construction; physical alteration of any building; the change in scale, visual context, or visual setting of any building, structure, object, or landscape feature; or the screening or elimination of publicly accessible views; even if no known historic resources are located nearby. Since the proposed actions are expected to generate some of these results, a full analysis under CEQR was undertaken. As described more fully below, the proposed actions would result in significant adverse impacts on historic resources. There would be direct impacts on 141 sites. With respect to archaeological resources, there would be impacts on 23 potential development sites. The sites are located at 139 East Houston Street, 32-36 East 3rd Street, 28 East 2nd Street, 239 East 3rd Street, 740 East 6th Street, 258-266 East 7th Street, 271 East 7th Street, 349 East 10th Street, 101 East 7th Street, 64 East 3rd Street, 100 East 4th Street, 68 East 7th Street, 73 St.
