Gaillard Island

L'île de Gaillard Island, connue également sous le nom de Pelican Island est située dans la baie de Mobile donnant sur le golfe du Mexique, en Alabama dans le comté de Mobile et le bayou La Batre. Elle forme un triangle d'environ 3,5 km de long sur 3,5 km de large pour une superficie d'environ 5,3 km2. L'île Gaillard est située à environ 5 km de la côte occidentale de la baie de Mobile et à environ une vingtaine de kilomètres de la ville portuaire de Mobile. Géographie L'île Gaillard est une île artificielle créée en 1979 dans la baie de Mobile en raison du dragage de cette partie de la baie de Mobile pour permettre aux gros navires d'atteindre les ports industriels de cette baie de l'Alabama. Les travaux furent effectués par le Corps du génie de l'armée des États-Unis. L'île Gaillard est devenu un sanctuaire pour les oiseaux migrateurs notamment le pélican brun d'où son surnom d'île aux pélicans, mais aussi le héron, l'aigrette, la sterne et le bec-en-ciseaux. Histoire En 1979, l'île Gaillard a été créée pour recevoir les dépôts de terre et d'alluvion retirés de la baie pour la création d'un canal de navigation fait pour permettre au navire de gros tonnage de relier les ports industriels de la baie de Mobile. Le projet consistait à draguer un chenal de navigation profonde d'environ 8,4 km de longueur, sur 91 mètres de largeur et 12 mètres de profondeur. Le projet était controversé des points de vue de l'ingénierie et de l'environnement. Les ingénieurs pensaient que l'île ne tiendrait pas dans un plan d'eau ouvert et les écologistes étaient préoccupés par l'impact sur la baie d'un point de vue écologique. L'île a été un succès dès le début et est devenue une vitrine environnementale, abritant des milliers d'oiseaux, en particulier des pélicans bruns. L'île porte le nom du Wilson Gaillard, un dentiste itinérant, qui était également un écologiste qui envisageait l'île comme un paradis pour les oiseaux de rivage et les oiseaux de mer. L'île est également connue sous le nom de "Pelican Island" par les habitants en raison de l'importance de la colonie des pélicans. L'île appartient aux ports de l'État de l'Alabama et est gérée par le Corps des ingénieurs de l'armée américaine, le Département de la conservation et des ressources naturelles de l'Alabama et le Service américain de la faune et de la pêche.

Since then, his birth date, April 14, has been celebrated as the official lion mascot birthday, an annual event that attracts kindergarten and elementary school children from throughout the Shoals region. The former residential lions, Leo III and Una, were born November 18, 2002, at a USDA-sanctioned refuge owned by Glen and Kathy Eldridge in Greenville, New Hampshire.

Houston Memorial Library

The Houston Memorial Library, previously the Governor George Smith Houston House, is a historic residence in Athens, Alabama. It was built in Federal style in 1835. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. History The land on which the house stands was purchased in 1818, and passed between several owners before being purchased by Micajah Thomas. Thomas is believed to have built the house in the 1830s, although the exact date of construction is not known, and it may have been built around an earlier log structure. Then-U.S. Congressman George Smith Houston moved to Athens from Lauderdale County and purchased the house in 1845. He served in Congress from 1841 until 1849, and again from 1851 until 1861. Following Reconstruction, Houston was elected Governor of Alabama, serving from 1874 until 1878. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1878, serving until his death on December 31, 1879. His widow, Ellen, lived in the house until her death in 1909. The house was later rented by the Kiwanis Club, and in 1938, the Houston family donated the house to the city to be used as a public library. Architecture The Houston House is a two-story, wooden house built in the Federal style. Four square columns support a two-story portico and second floor balcony. The balcony extended across the entire front of the house by Ellen Houston, but was truncated after her death. Side-by-side front doors open into separate rooms, a layout repeated on the upper balcony. A dining room was added on the north side of the house in the late 19th century.

Spring Hill College

Spring Hill College es una universidad privada, católica, de la Compañía de Jesús, ubicada en Mobile (Alabama), Estados Unidos de América. Forma parte de la Asociación de Universidades Jesuitas (AJCU), en la que se integran las 28 universidades que la Compañía de Jesús dirige en los Estados Unidos. Es la universidad católica más antigua del sur de los Estados Unidos, y la quinta universidad católica más antigua de la nación. Historia La universidad fue fundada en 1830 por el primer obispo de Mobile, Michael Portier. Tras una primera etapa bajo la dirección de la diócesis, el obispo decidió transferir la institución, primero a la congregación de los Sacerdotes de la Misericordia, que había fundado Jean-Baptiste Rauzan, y después a la Congregación de Jesús y María de San Juan Eudes S.I.. Ninguno de los dos institutos de vida consagrada tenían la experiencia necesaria para administrar la institución ni para impartir la enseñanza que se deseaba, por lo que el obispo se dirigió a la Compañía de Jesús para trasferirles la universidad. Los jesuitas aceptaron y en septiembre de 1847 se hicieron cargo de Spring Hill College y nombraron primer rector jesuita al Padre Francis Gautrelet, S.J. Campus El campus ocupa 450 acres (más de 1.8 km²) en una colina natural repleta de robles, palmeras y azaleas. Incluye un campo de golf de 18 hoyos. Tiene 32 edificios, muchos de los cuales están registrados en el National Register of Historic Places.

Fu fondato nel 1830 dal francese Michel Portier, vescovo di Mobile, e fu beneficiato dai connazionali di Portier: il cardinale Joseph Fesch, che gli donò la sua biblioteca teologica e filosofica, e Pauline Marie Jaricot, che lo finanziò con la somma di 38 000 franchi. L'insegnamento fu affidato prima ai preti della misericordia, poi agli eudisti e, infine, nel 1847, ai gesuiti della provincia lionese della Compagnia. Sorto come college maschile, le prime studentesse furono ammesse nel 1952.

Mobile station (Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad)

The Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Passenger Terminal is a historic train station in Mobile, Alabama, United States. Architect P. Thornton Marye designed the Mission Revival style terminal for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and its then-parent company Southern Railway. It was completed in 1907 at a total cost of $575,000. The Mobile and Ohio merged with the Gulf, Mobile and Northern Railroad in 1940 to form the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Trains in final years Major trains served: Gulf, Mobile & Ohio: Gulf Coast Rebel: St. Louis, Missouri–Mobile Southern Railway: Goldenrod: Birmingham, Alabama–Mobile Demise The last GM&O passenger trains into Mobile terminal station were the Gulf Coast Rebels, which made their last runs on October 14, 1958. Louisville & Nashville passenger service in Mobile called at a separate L&N station located about 1 mile distant. Passenger service in the Amtrak era continued at the former L&N passenger station Mobile station. GM&O Terminal Station continued to serve as railroad offices. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 15, 1975. It had suffered neglect, extensive interior alteration, and partial removal of the train shed by this time. GM&O's successor Illinois Central Gulf Railroad vacated the old terminal building in 1986 and for fifteen years it suffered from demolition-by-neglect. The Alabama Historical Commission and the Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation named it as one of their "Places in Peril" in 1996. In 2001 the City of Mobile and a private company invested more than $18 million to restore the local landmark with the developer taking advantage of the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentive program. Today the building houses private offices and the city's The Wave Transit System. The renovated facility was extensively damaged by flooding during Hurricane Katrina.
