In the beginning, S&R Foundation’s mission was grounded in its support of talented artists and scientists involved in work for charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes. Over the past 13 years, S&R’s mission to support talented individuals has expanded to encompass broad support of individuals with great potential and high aspirations in the arts, sciences and social entrepreneurship, with a special emphasis on furthering international cultural collaboration and ensuing social benefits. In support of its goals, S&R sponsors annual award programs, hosts concerts and events, and works with its partners to encourage social, scientific and artistic innovation, and to promote cultural and personal development. By supporting individuals and enabling their growth and success within various communities, S&R Foundation nurtures their desires, in turn, to enrich society by sharing the fruits of their hard work and dedication. Throughout 2013, S&R Foundation continued its commitment to existing programs, including the Washington Award, the Ryuji Ueno Award, the Global Leadership Program, and the Overtures Artist Concert Series. Additionally, the calendar was filled with new programs and events such as the first Artist-in-Residence and the inaugural event of the Illuminate Speaker Series. These programs draw together disparate groups concerned with a wide variety of issues – cultural, economic, research and change processes – enabling them to benefit from small, happy surprises, learn from shared experiences and profit from a sense of community. 2 | www.sandr.org AWARD & RECOGNIZE Washington Awards Ryuji Ueno Awards This graphic illustrates the breadth Fellowship Programs and depth of S&R Foundation programs.

  • Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists Have Gained the Upper Hand in Protecting Historic Buildings
    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists have gained the upper hand in protecting historic buildings. Now the ques- tion is whether examples of modern architecture— such as these three buildings —deserve the same respect as the great buildings of the past. By Larry Van Dyne The church at 16th and I streets in downtown DC does not match the usual images of a vi- sually appealing house of worship. It bears no resemblance to the picturesque churches of New England with their white clapboard and soaring steeples. And it has none of the robust stonework and stained-glass windows of a Gothic cathedral. The Third Church of Christ, Scientist, is modern architecture. Octagonal in shape, its walls rise 60 feet in roughcast concrete with only a couple of windows and a cantilevered carillon interrupting the gray façade. Surrounded by an empty plaza, it leaves the impression of a supersized piece of abstract sculpture. The church sits on a prime tract of land just north of the White House. The site is so valua- ble that a Washington-based real-estate company, ICG Properties, which owns an office building next door, has bought the land under the church and an adjacent building originally owned by the Christian Science home church in Boston. It hopes to cut a deal with the local church to tear down its sanctuary and fill the assembled site with a large office complex. The congregation, which consists of only a few dozen members, is eager to make the deal — hoping to occupy a new church inside the complex.

DC-66 Location: 3123 Dumbarton Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Present Owner: Eden and Gerald Rafshoon Present Use: private residence Significance: The Henry Foxall (McKenney) House's primary significance is as an outstanding example of the late Federal period architecture in transition to early classical revival style. The gardens were designed by Rose Greely, an early and important woman landscape architect (the first licensed in the District of Columbia), further enhancing the importance of the house and grounds. Although not his residence, the house also derives significance from its association with Henry Foxall, a mayor of Georgetown and munitions manufacturer. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Physical History: 1. Date of erection: Most, if not all, older publications on Georgetown architecture date this house to 1800 as a wedding gift from Henry Foxall to his daughter Mary Ann and his son-in­ law Samuel McKenney (in some publications spelt McKenny).
