The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provision of law. Thirty-two witnesses spoke in favor of the designation as proposed, including Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, City Councilmember Gail Brewer, and representatives of Congressman Jerrold Nadler, State Senators Thomas Duane, Adriano Espaillat, and Bill Perkins, State Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal, the West End Preservation Society, the Historic Districts Council, Landmarks West, Manhattan Community Board 7, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the West 80s Neighborhood Association, the West Side Federation of Neighborhood and Block Associations, as well as residents and neighbors. An additional three people testified in favor of the district but asked that it include additional buildings. One person testified in favor of including a building in the district without otherwise stating support for designation. Nine witnesses spoke in opposition to the designation including the Real Estate Board of New York and five owners and/or their representatives who were opposed to including their specific properties (251 and 265 West 81st Street, 508 and 510 West End Avenue, St. Agnes Boys High School, First Baptist Church in the City of New York, 272 to 276 West 86th Street) in the proposed extension. The Commission received several letters in support of the proposed designation including one from the Calhoun School, and one letter in opposition to the designation from the owners of 324 West 83rd Street.

Significance: Completed in 1874, the Mark Twain Carriage House is a multi-purpose barn with a coachman's apartment designed by architects Edward Tuckerman Potter and Alfred H, Thorp as a companion structure to the residence for noted American author and humorist Samuel Clemens and his family. Its massive size and its generous accommodations for the coachman mark this structure as an unusual carriage house among those intended for a single family's use. The building has the wide overhanging eaves and half-timbering typical of the Chalet style popular in the late 19th century for cottages, carriage houses, and gatehouses.

  • Where Stars Are Born and Legends Are Made™
    Where Stars are Born and Legends are Made™ The Apollo Theater Study Guide is published by the Education Program of the Apollo Theater in New York, NY | Volume 2, Issue 1, November 2010 If the Apollo Theater could talk, imagine the stories it could tell. It The has witnessed a lot of history, and seen a century’s worth of excitement. The theater itself has stood proudly on 125th Street since 1914, when it started life as a burlesque house for whites only, Hurtig & Seamon’s New Burlesque Theater. Dancers in skimpy costumes stripped down to flesh-colored leotards, and comics told bawdy jokes – that is, until then New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia made the decision to close down burlesque houses all over the city. When the doors of the burlesque theaters were padlocked, the building was sold. By S ul the time it reopened in 1934, a new name proclaimed itself from the marquee: the 125th Street Apollo Theatre. From the start, the Apollo was beloved by Harlemites, and immediately of became an integral part of Harlem life. When the Apollo first opened, Harlem boasted a lot of theaters and clubs. But many didn’t admit black audiences. Though the musicians who played in the clubs were black, the audiences were often white; the country still had a lot to American learn about integration. But the Apollo didn’t play primarily to whites. As soon as it opened its doors, black residents of Harlem streamed in themselves to enjoy the show. In the early years, the Apollo presented acts in a revue format, with a variety of acts on each bill.

    Course Syllabus Jump to Today Modern American Architecture Columbia University, GSAPP Spring 2020, Mondays 11-1 Professor Jorge Otero- Pailos Ph.D. TA: Shuyi [email protected] M.S TA: Mariana Ávila [email protected] Course Description: This course is a survey of American Modern Architecture since the country’s first centennial. As America ascended to its current position of hegemony during the late 19th and 20th centuries, its architects helped refashion the built environment to serve the needs of a growing and ever-diverse population. Hand in hand with the satisfaction of pragmatic requirements, American architects were called upon to fulfill deeper psychological wants, such as the country’s desire to have a national History. The American complex about the brevity, artificiality, and exterior dependency of its history, structured, with varying degrees of intensity, the evolution of the architectural discipline. Out of this deep-seated, and by no means exhausted, anxiety about producing, preserving, and identifying American history, came a sophisticated architectural culture; one capable of foiling, exploiting, subverting, and manipulating the various contradictions of modernity. From the standpoint of this relationship between history and modernity, we will analyze the American architectural struggle to be progressive and accepted, exceptional and customary, and to simultaneously capture the future and the past. Each lecture will analyze the production and reception of built (and written) works by renowned figures and anonymous builders. The question of History will help us discern the terms of engagement between architecture and other disciplines over time, such as: preservation, planning, real estate development, politics, health, ecology, sociology, and philosophy.

  • Plague Diary by Margaret Porter Troupe
    Plague Diary Margaret Porter Troupe, Graham Court Apartments, Harlem, New York City April 4, 2020 By the time I start this diary, I’ve been sheltering in since March 20th. The last person who’s visited us inside the apartment was Monique Clesca. She came to lunch here. We sat apart and neither of us wore facemasks. We elbow bumped and didn’t shake hands or kiss. I waited 14 days to see if I had symptoms of Covid-19. The police arrived yesterday and made the people who hang out in A. Phillip Randolph Square Park, (formerly Dewey Square), drinking, loitering, littering, and just being an eyesore and nuisance, leave the park. This little triangular park is directly across the street from Graham Court and where Miles Davis and other beboppers playing at Minton’s during the 1940s used to come to shoot up or do whatever they did there in-between sets. Minton’s is around the corner on 118th Street between 7th Avenue and St. Nicholas. The police or parks people removed the benches too and put up a chicken-wire fence at the entrances to keep people out. Now those people come across the street and congregate under the scaffolding in front of Graham Court. There’s a lot of drug dealing going on too. It feels quite a bit more unsafe around here lately. Must keep antenna raised for trouble. Woke up today thinking about my friend Cynthia, who was sounding scary to me yesterday as we discussed how we’re both feeling. I’ve been having congestion the last eight days and she has been having symptoms too but don’t know whether to attribute them to her blood pressure medication, pollen (it’s Spring now and everything’s bursting in bloom) or the novel coronavirus, Covid-19.

  • A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Montrose Park
    A SELF-GUIDED WALKING TOUR OF MONTROSE PARK Montrose Park Historic District Association Our mission is to promote, preserve, and beautify the Montrose Park Historic District, maintain its integrity, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Montrose Park Historic District Association is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) MONTROSE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT ASSOCIATION This walking tour celebrates the rich architectural heritage concentrated in South Orange and particularly in the Montrose Park neighborhood, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. This tour doesn’t cover every house but highlights some of the more interesting homes in a structured leisurely walk that you can complete in about an hour. MPHDA thanks Janet Foster, a historic preservation consultant, for her assistance in curating the stops on this walk and for the written commentary, both about the houses featured and the development of the area we call Montrose Park. Walking instructions are in RED; Individual house addresses are in bold. BEGIN THE TOUR IN GROVE PARK, NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF GROVE ROAD AND RALSTON AVENUE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE ORIGINS OF MONTROSE PARK In the mid-19th century, the Oranges were both traditional farming communities and emerging “resort” areas. “Mountain Station” was established by the 1840s along the Morris & Essex Railroad to serve the Mountain House, a fashionable hotel and spa located on the hill behind the Mountain Station. It advertised that South Orange and the hill to its west made it the “Switzerland of America”. Clearly, most people visiting had not been to Switzerland, or had even seen the Rockies.

  • OLD BROOKLYN FIRE HEADQUARTERS, 365-367 Jay Street, Borough of Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 19, 1966, Number 10 LP-0148 OLD BROOKLYN FIRE HEADQUARTERS, 365-367 Jay Street, Borough of Brooklyn. 1892; architect Frank Freeman. \ Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 147, lot 2. On February 8, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Old Brooklyn Fire Head­ quarters and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 49). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. One speaker spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. In a letter to the Commission, Fire Commissioner Robert O. Lowery recommended designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS As an example of the Romanesque Revival, this fire-house on Jay Street is one of New York's best and most striking architectural compositions. It was designed to display much splendid Romanesque ornament and was constructed of granite with handsome red sandstone trim. The walls are of fine, dark brown Roman brick with terra cotta detail to relieve the smooth surfaces. The red tile roof is trimmed with copper and the combination of colors is both subtle and ingenious. These rich materials make this an extremely beautiful and architecturally noteworthy building. The exterior of the building expresses its ftmction to perfection with the great, richly decorated arch for the exit of the fire-engines, flanked by a watch-tower used for spotting fires in the area. This building served as the Brooklyn Fire Headquarters until 1898, when Brooklyn was consolidated with Manhattan, at which time the headquarters were moved to Manhattan.

  • The Magazine of the Victorian Society in America Volume 40 Number 1 Editorial
    Nineteenth Ce ntury The Magazine of the Victorian Society in America Volume 40 Number 1 Editorial The Artist’s Shadow The Winter Show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City is always a feast for the eyes. Dazzling works of art, decorative arts, and sculpture appear that we might never see again. During a tour of this pop-up museum in January I paused at the booth of the Alexander Gallery where a painting caught my eye. It was an 1812 portrait of two endearing native-New Yorkers Schuyler Ogden and his sister, the grand-nephew and grand-niece of General Stephen Van Rensselaer. I am always sure that exhibitors at such shows can distinguish the buyers from the voyeurs in a few seconds but that did not prevent the gallery owner from engaging with me in a lively conversation about Fresh Raspberries . It was clear he had considerable affection for the piece. Were I a buyer, I would have very happily bought this little confection then and there. The boy, with his plate of fresh picked berries, reminds me of myself at that very age. These are not something purchased at a market. These are berries he and his sister have freshly picked just as they were when my sisters and I used to bring bowls of raspberries back to our grandmother from her berry patch, which she would then make into jam. I have no doubt Master Ogden and his beribboned sister are on their way to present their harvest to welcoming hands. As I walked away, I turned one last time to bid them adieu and that is when I saw its painter, George Harvey.
