Trinity Episcopal Church (Mobile, Alabama)

Trinity Episcopal Church is a historic church in Mobile, Alabama, United States. It was the first large Gothic Revival church built in Alabama. The building was designed by architects Frank Wills and Henry Dudley. History Trinity Episcopal Church was established in 1845, as the second Episcopal congregation in Mobile. Christ Church Cathedral was the first. The cornerstone for the building was placed on April 8, 1853. A yellow fever outbreak swept through the city in that year and the church's register shows that the rector conducted 49 funerals in September 1853. This appears to have delayed construction, but the building was finally completed in 1857. It was located at the corner of St. Anthony and Jackson Streets until it was moved to Dauphin Street in 1945. Hurricane Frederic damaged the building in 1979. It removed a portion of the roofing, broke windows, and damaged the spire. All of this damage was repaired, with steel reinforcement added to the rebuilt spire. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was nominated for National Historic Landmark designation, but did not obtain this status due to the building having been moved. The church building was renovated in 2010. On Christmas Day 2012 it suffered major damage from an EF2 tornado that took a path through the city. The main sanctuary lost over a third of its roof, the front gable-end wall of the parish hall collapsed, and other structural damage was caused by the storm. Architecture Trinity Episcopal Church is Gothic Revival, in a Middle Pointed style inspired by 14th century English architecture. The church is built in brick and is an aisled nave-and-chancel structure with a monumental bell tower. This church served to inspire the rector of the Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Huntsville to hire Frank Wills to design a sanctuary for his congregation. The designs for both churches are very similar. References External links Trinity Episcopal Church - official website
Église de la Trinité de Mobile

L'église de la Trinité est une église anglicane, située à Mobile, dans l'État de l'Alabama, aux États-Unis. Cet édifice religieux, la première grande église construite dans le style néo-gothique en Alabama, a été conçu par les architectes Frank Wills et Henry C. Dudley Historique Fondée en 1845, en tant que deuxième église épiscopalienne, à Mobile, après la cathédrale du Christ, l'église de la Trinité a été construite à partir du 8 avril 1853. Une épidémie de fièvre jaune balaya la ville cette année-là et le registre de l'église indique que le recteur procéda à 49 funérailles en septembre 1853. Cela semble avoir retardé la construction, finalement achevée en 1857. L'ouragan Frédéric (en) a endommagé le bâtiment en 1979, notamment une partie de la toiture, des fenêtres ont été brisées et la flèche endommagées. Tous ces dommages furent réparés, avec un renfort en acier ajouté à la flèche reconstruite. L'église a été inscrite Registre national des lieux historiques en 1990 et proposé au National Historic Landmark, mais elle n'a pas obtenu ce statut en raison du déménagement du bâtiment. Rénovée en 2010, elle fut gravement endommagée le 25 décembre 2012 par une tornade de niveau 2 qui traversa la ville. Elle perdit plus d'un tiers de son toit, le mur avant de la salle paroissiale s'effondra et il y eut également d'autres dommages infligés à la structure. Architecture L'église de la Trinité est de style néo-gothique et s'inspire de l'architecture gothique anglaise du XIVe siècle. Construite en brique, elle dispose d'une nef et d'un chancel, avec un clocher monumental. Elle servit d'inspiration pour le recteur de l'église de la Nativité à Huntsville, notamment avec l'embauche de l'architecte Frank Wills, pour la conception de l'église pour sa congrégation. Les modèles pour les deux églises sont très similaires.

Scottish Rite Temple (Mobile, Alabama)

Scottish Rite Temple, also known as The Temple Downtown, is a historic former masonic building in Mobile, Alabama, United States. It was built to serve as the meeting place for the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The building was designed by George Bigelow Rogers, a local Mobile architect who was responsible for designing many of the city's buildings during this period. The cornerstone was laid on November 30, 1921, with the building completed in 1922. It is the only intact example of the Egyptian Revival style in Mobile. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 5, 1984. It was sold in 1996 to a private citizen and reopened as a banqueting venue. Architecture The Scottish Rite Temple was inspired by Ancient Egyptian architectural forms, although combined in a unique way. The building facades on the east and north sides are in the form of Egyptian pylons. An ancient Egyptian pylon was made up of two battered (tapered) monumental towers, each topped by a cornice, and joined together by a less elevated section containing a central gateway leading into a temple. A battered wall is wider at the base than it is at the top, with an upwardly receding slope. The south facade of the Scottish Rite Temple abuts the adjacent property. It and the rear facade are plain masonry and are not battered. The two entrance doorways, on the elaborate east and north facades, were inspired by the Bab el’Adb Gate, also known as the Gateway of Ptolemy III and Ptolemy IV, at the Karnak Temple Complex. The east entrance is flanked by a pair of sphinxes by the sculptor Allen W. Barr. The roof is surmounted by two protruding obelisks that originally functioned as chimneys. References

James Clemens High School

James Clemens High School is a public high school in Madison, Alabama, United States. The school is a part of Madison City Schools. The school is named after James Clemens, the founder of Madison, Alabama. James Clemens was the second high school to be built in Madison, a necessary endeavor to serve the rapid growth of the community. The city was rezoned for two high schools with Liberty Middle School feeding into James Clemens. It is the 4th largest high school in Alabama by enrolled students, only Thompson, Baker, and Hoover High Schools have more enrolled students. Clubs and organizations James Clemens offers over 70 clubs and organizations, many of them service based, such as Interact Club and Junior Civitan, providing funds and services for the surrounding community. James Clemens High School is home to the JROTC "Jet Battalion", with over 100 cadets enrolled. The Jet Battalion's Color Guard presents The Colors at every home football game, basketball game, and soccer game. The Jet Battalion also cleans the Madison City Schools Stadium after every home game. In 2015, the Battalion started rebuilding a Grumman F-9 Cougar, concluding the project in 2023 with the display on campus. Notable events On December 14, 2022, videos were released of James Clemens assistant principal Jason Watts engaging in a physical altercation with a female student on a bus while it was loading other students. Two students had allegedly gotten into a physical altercation with each other on the bus, at which point Watts and other administrative members of the school staff were called to help defuse the situation. Watts started arguing with one of the students, and the student allegedly bit his arm. Watts then grabbed the student by the neck and hit her. Several other students started confronting Watts after this. Following the incident, both of the students who engaged in a physical altercation with each other were suspended. Madison City Schools superintendent Ed Nichols spoke on the incident the next day, where he defended Watts' actions, stating, "I’m never going to tell someone if they are being assaulted, that they can’t defend themselves from further harm." On March 21, 2023, the family of the student involved in the incident filed a lawsuit against Watts, as well as the Madison City Schools Board of Education and former James Clemens principal Brian Clayton. The lawsuit claimed that the student was in special education. On April 20, 2023, Madison City Schools announced Dr. Kerry Donaldson as the Principal of James Clemens, following the retirement of the previous principal, Dr. Clayton, in December 2022. Athletics James Clemens provides students with the opportunity to compete in many of the major high school sports. Notable alumni Gio Lopez, quarterback for the South Alabama Jaguars.

Edmund King House

The Edmund King House is a historic residence on the campus of the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Alabama. The house was built by Edmund King, a native Virginian who arrived in Alabama in 1817. First building a log cabin, he built the house in 1823. After becoming a successful planter and businessman, he donated land for churches, roads, and schools, including for the Alabama Girls Industrial School (today known as the University of Montevallo). Upon his death in 1863, the house passed to a son-in-law, and was deeded to the Industrial School in 1908. The house has been used as a classroom, an office building, an infirmary, a home economics practice home, and a summer home for male students. Today, the home is used as a guest house for visitors to the University. The Federal-style house is two stories, and built of brick laid in English bond. The central main entrance is topped with a four-light transom. The entrance and flanking windows are spanned with flat, flared arches which are stuccoed to resemble stone. Windows on the ground floor are nine-over-six sashes, with six-over-six sashes on the upper floor. The interior is a center-hall plan, with two rooms on either side of a central hallway on both floors. Each room contains an Adamesque fireplace mantel. The exterior was stuccoed and scored to imitate stone in the mid-19th century, and a front portico and rear ell were also later additions. These features were removed in a 1973–74 restoration. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. References
Rogers Department Store

Rogers Department Store was a department store chain based in Florence, Alabama. Founded in 1894, the company grew to include locations across the Tennessee Valley. The original building, constructed in 1910, was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1994 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. History Benjamin A. Rogers and his sons came to Florence in 1894 during a boom in the local economy driven by the construction of a canal to bypass the Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River. The family erected a two-story frame building to house a department store. The store was one of the first in the area to clearly mark prices on items, rather than leaving the purchase up to negotiation. Benjamin Rogers died in 1902, and the store burned in 1910, leaving the Rogers sons to rebuild. They erected the current two-story building, which was expanded to three stories and partially rebuilt after a fire in 1946. Rogers opened other locations, including in Muscle Shoals, Decatur, and Athens. The company remained in the family until 1998, when it was sold to The Dunlap Company, who closed the downtown Florence location in 2001. The store in Athens was closed in 1996, the Decatur store in 2006, and Muscle Shoals location (at Southgate Mall) was closed in 2007. As of 2013, the Florence building is occupied by an Asian fusion restaurant, Jos. A. Bank, and Alabama Outdoors on the ground floor, while the Martin Supply Company offices occupy the upper floors. Architecture The building is a three-story Art Deco structure, with over 65,500 square feet (6,100 sq. m) of interior space. It was originally constructed of solid brick, with some concrete block and poured reinforced concrete walls dating from the late 1940s expansion and post-fire restoration. The rear of the building, separated from a parking garage by a narrow alley, retains its original brick, with evidence of arched window openings on the two lower floors, along with twin chimneys. The front and side façades are covered in beige limestone, with decorative carved ram's heads on the chamfered corner and on the side of the building. There are two entrances at the front and side, and large aluminum-framed display windows line the front. A row of polished pink granite lines the base of the building. The building's Art Deco character is derived from the two upper floors. Each bay is recessed, and contains three-part windows with a central casement surrounded by fixed panels. Projecting limestone panels between the bays rise slightly above the parapet line, further visually separated by scored panels above the third-floor windows. In the center of the front façade and twice on the side, a further recessed bay is flanked by panels that project further above the roofline. The first and third floors feature mezzanines. The store was one of the first in North Alabama to have elevators, along with central air conditioning and heat. The building sits across Mobile Street from Southall Drugs, also listed on the National Register. References
Rogers Department Store

Rogers Department Store was een warenhuisketen uit Florence, Alabama. Het bedrijf werd opgericht in 1894 en breidde zich uit met vestigingen in de hele Tennessee Valley. Het oorspronkelijke gebouw, gebouwd in 1910, werd in 1994 opgenomen in het Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage. In 1998 kwam het ook in het National Register of Historic Places. Geschiedenis Benjamin A. Rogers en zijn zonen kwamen in 1894 naar Florence, tijdens een economische bloeiperiode die werd aangewakkerd door de aanleg van een kanaal om de Muscle Shoals in de Tennessee River te omzeilen. De familie liet een gebouw met twee verdiepingen bouwen om er een warenhuis in te vestigen. De winkel was een van de eerste in de regio die de prijzen van producten duidelijk aangaf, in plaats van dat er over de aankoop werd onderhandeld. In 1902 stierf Benjamin Rogers. In 1910 brandde het warenhuis af en lieten de zonen van Rogers de winkel herbouwen. Zij bouwden het huidige gebouw met twee verdiepingen, dat na een brand in 1946 gedeeltelijk werd herbouwd en uitgebreid naar drie verdiepingen. Rogers opende andere vestigingen, waaronder in Muscle Shoals, Decatur en Athens. Het bedrijf bleef in de familie tot 1998, toen het werd verkocht aan The Dunlap Company. In 2001 werd de vestiging in het centrum van Florence gesloten en in 1996 werd de winkel in Athene gesloten. De winkels in Decatur en Muscle Shoals (in de Southgate Mall) werden in respectievelijk 2006 en 2007 gesloten. Architectuur Het gebouw is in Art Deco-stijl met drie verdiepingen en heeft een oppervlakte van ruim 6.100 m². Het werd oorspronkelijk gebouwd van massieve baksteen, met enkele betonblokken en gegoten muren van gewapend beton die dateerden uit de restauratie na de brand en de uitbreiding van eind jaren 1940. De achterzijde van het gebouw, door een smal steegje gescheiden van een parkeergarage, en heeft nog steeds de originele bakstenen, met boogvormige raamopeningen op de twee onderste verdiepingen en de originele twee schoorstenen. De voor- en zijgevels zijn bekleed met beige kalksteen, met decoratieve, gebeeldhouwde ramskoppen op de afgeschuinde hoeken en aan de zijkant van het gebouw. Er zijn twee ingangen aan de voor- en zijkant en aan de voorkant bevinden zich grote vitrines met aluminium kozijnen. Een rij gepolijst roze graniet bekleedt de onderzijde van het gebouw. Het Art Deco-karakter van het gebouw is af te leiden uit de twee bovenste verdiepingen. Elke travee is terugliggend en bevat driedelige ramen met een centraal raamkozijn omgeven door vaste panelen. Uitstekende kalksteenpanelen tussen de traveeën steken iets boven de borstwering uit en worden visueel van elkaar gescheiden door gekerfde panelen boven de ramen op de derde verdieping. In het midden van de voorgevel en tweemaal aan de zijkant bevindt zich een verdere terugliggende erker, geflankeerd door panelen die verder boven de daklijn uitsteken. Op de eerste en derde verdieping bevinden zich tussenvloeren. De winkel was een van de eerste in Noord-Alabama die liften had, centrale airconditioning en verwarming.
