  • We Are America's Travel Industry, A
    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.

  • 240 Central Park South Apartments
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 25, 2002, Designation List 337 LP-2116 240 CENTRAL PARK SOUTH APARTMENTS, 240 Central Park South (aka 232-246 Central Park South (West 59th Street), 233-241West58th Street, and 1792-1810Broadway), Manhattan. Built 1939-40; [Albert] Mayer & [Julian H.] Whittlesey, architects; J.H. Taylor Construction Co., builders. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1030, Lot 58. On April 30, 2002, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of 240 Central Park South Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Nineteen people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Central Park South Associates (the property's owners), Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, CityCouncilmember Eva Moskowitz, New York Assemblyman Richard N. Gottfried, Municipal Art Society, New York Landmarks Conservancy, Historic Districts Council, Landmark West!, DOCOMOMO New York Tri-State, Modern Architecture Working Group, and architect-historian Robert A.M. Stern. One speaker opposed designation. In addition, the Commission received numerous letters and postcards in support of designation, including a resolution from Community Board 5 and letters from City Councilmember Christine C. Quinn, former Councilmember Ronnie M. Eldridge, Friends of Terra Cotta, National Society of Mural Painters, and Art Deco Society of New York. Summary 240 Central Park South Apartments, built in 1939-40 to the design of Mayer & Whittlesey, is a significant and innovative complex that represents the transition between 1930s Art Deco style apartment towers with courtyards (characteristic of Central Park West) and post-World War II "modernist" apartment houses.

  • Restaurant Intypes: Contemporary Interior Design and Theory Study
    RESTAURANT INTYPES: CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR DESIGN AND THEORY STUDY 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 Soomin Jasmin Cho May 2009 © 2009 Soomin Jasmin Cho ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis research is the identification, development and naming of a series of archetypical practices for restaurant designs for the on-going Intypes (Interior Archetypes) Research and Teaching Project. Initiated in 1997 this project creates a typology of contemporary design practices that are derived from reiterative historical designs that span time and style and cross cultural boundaries. Research regarding designing of restaurant spaces in terms of creating spatial experiences through interior design elements hardly exists, whereas numerous books featuring “hip restaurants” or restaurants designed by celebrity architects or designers abound. This thesis developed theoretical studies based on restaurant design from those examples that have been recognized and published in significant architectural and interior design trade journals. Previous graduate students have developed Intypes for other practice types, including retail store, art museum, boutique hotel, as well as elements, such as materials. However, the body of knowledge being developed by the Intypes project lacked practices about restaurant design, one of the major hospitality practice areas. This thesis resulted in the development of fourteen Restaurant Intypes according to color schemes, seating arrangements, display aesthetics, lighting strategies, wall treatments, and materials. These Intypes are identified and classified based on a comprehensive survey of contemporary trade magazines and scholarly articles, secondary sources, and site visits of significant recently completed restaurant interiors.

  • Historical Chronology of Newport, N.H
    HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY OF NEWPORT, N.H. ---------- You may simply scroll through the pages for the fun of it, if you like, poking along to see what emerges, or to satisfy your general interest in history. But if you seek some particular date to see what happened then, or if you want to know when the town acquired the Common, or when the Newport House burned or when the Newport Opera House Association was formed, or what a factory worker earned in 1910, then use the Search or Find function of your software. Explanation: History is not bunk, despite Henry Ford's belief that it is. Nor is it -- at least not always -- events agreed upon by the victors, as some cynics have said. Ambrose Bierce in his Devil's Dictionary calls it "an account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools." Little wonder that he disappeared without trace and was never found. History is understanding the past, attempting to apply it to the present, and hoping that such understanding will keep us from repeating the errors -- and sometimes the disasters -- of the past as we work to shape the future. The chronology below is not history. The American historian Daniel Boorstin calls history The Cautionary Science and quotes William James: "A large acquaintance with particulars often makes us wiser than the possession of abstract formulas, however deep." The historian Will Durant says: "Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record; while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues.

  • Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947
    Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947 Transcribed from the American Art Annual by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director, Maine Historic Preservation Commission. Between 1897 and 1947 the American Art Annual and its successor volume Who's Who in American Art included brief obituaries of prominent American artists, sculptors, and architects. During this fifty-year period, the lives of more than twelve-hundred architects were summarized in anywhere from a few lines to several paragraphs. Recognizing the reference value of this information, I have carefully made verbatim transcriptions of these biographical notices, substituting full wording for abbreviations to provide for easier reading. After each entry, I have cited the volume in which the notice appeared and its date. The word "photo" after an architect's name indicates that a picture and copy negative of that individual is on file at the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. While the Art Annual and Who's Who contain few photographs of the architects, the Commission has gathered these from many sources and is pleased to make them available to researchers. The full text of these biographies are ordered alphabetically by surname: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z For further information, please contact: Earle G.
