Alabama State Capitol

Das Alabama State Capitol (auch First Confederate Capitol) ist das Parlamentsgebäude des US-Bundesstaates Alabama. Es wurde in den Jahren 1849–1851 nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Barachias Holt im Antebellum-Stil auf dem Goat Hill in Montgomery errichtet. Geschichte Ein erstes Kapitol wurde in Montgomery im Jahr 1847 erbaut. Zwei Jahre nach seiner Errichtung zerstörte ein Feuer das Gebäude. Auf dessen Grundmauern wurde zwischen 1849 und 1851 das heute noch vorhandene State Capitol errichtet. In den folgenden Jahren erfuhr der Bau mehrere Ergänzungen: 1885 wurde an der rückwärtigen Seite ein Ostflügel angebaut, 1906 ein Südflügel, ein zugehöriger Nordflügel entstand 1912. Im Zuge einer umfassenden Renovierung des gesamten Gebäudes wurde 1992 ebenfalls auf der Rückseite ein moderner Anbau hinzugefügt. Konstruktiver Mittelpunkt des Hauses ist eine Rotunde, die nach oben mit einer Kuppel abschließt. Wandgemälde im Inneren zeigen Szenen aus der Geschichte des Bundesstaates. Das Kapitol war bis 1985 Sitz der beiden Kammern der Alabama Legislature, also des Parlamentes des Bundesstaats. Mit Beginn der Renovierungsarbeiten im Jahr 1985 zog die gesamte Regierung in das Alabama State House (zuvor State Highway Department Building). Für diesen vorübergehenden Umzug musste der Verfassung des Bundesstaates ein Zusatz angefügt werden, der Sitzungen an anderer Stelle erlaubt, da die Verfassung das Kapitol als Tagungsort der Legislative vorschreibt. Nach Abschluss der Renovierung zog der Gouverneur des Bundesstaates und zahlreiche weitere Staatsbehörden wieder in das Gebäude. Die beiden Parlamentskammern blieben im Alabama State House. Das Gebäude diente 1861 zudem als Kapitol der Konföderierten Staaten von Amerika. Zur Erinnerung an dieses Ereignis wurde eine Messingplatte in Form eines sechsstrahligen Sterns an exakt jener Stelle angebracht, an der Jefferson Davis am 18. Februar 1861 seinen Amtseid als erster und einziger Präsident der Konföderierten Staaten ablegte. Am 19. Dezember 1960 wurde das Alabama State Capitol zur National Historic Landmark erklärt. Am 15. Oktober 1966 wurde es dem National Register of Historic Places hinzugefügt. Weblinks Alabama State Archives (englisch) Besucherinformation Alabama State Legislature (englisch) Einzelnachweise

The cottage is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame building, the front elevation features two semi-octagonal gabled front bays with a one-story porch inset between them. The gables and porch are trimmed with bargeboards in a design taken from Samuel Sloan's plan for "An Old English Cottage" in his 1852 publication, The Model Architect. The house is one of only about twenty remaining residential examples of Gothic Revival architecture remaining in the state.

Athens State University

Athens State University is a public upper-division university in Athens, Alabama. Athens State is one of the few universities in the nation dedicated solely to degree completion for transfer students, meaning the university serves junior-level and senior-level undergraduate students by helping them finish their degrees. Athens State also serves graduate students in their pursuit of career advancement through a master’s degree. The school's academics are housed in three colleges: Education, Arts and Sciences, and Business. History Athens State University is Alabama's oldest educational institution of higher learning. It began as the Athens Female Academy in 1822. The Methodist Church began oversight of the institution in 1842, changing the name to Athens Female Institute. It became Athens Female College in 1889. In 1931, the name was shortened to Athens College when it became coeducational. On May 10, 1974, the board of trustees requested from the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church that the college seek affiliation with the State of Alabama. At its annual meeting in June 1974, the conference gave the board this permission and authorized the transfer of the college to the State of Alabama. In June 1975, the college was accepted by the Alabama State Board of Education subject to the appropriation of operating funds by the Alabama legislature. Later that year, the legislature appropriated funds for the operation of the college to serve the graduates of state junior, community, and technical colleges/institutions. Later, in 1998, the college became Athens State University. On May 11, 2012, a bill was passed by the Alabama legislature allowing the creation of an autonomous board of trustees for the university. This board took office in October 2012. Athens State University remains the only university in the State of Alabama to focus solely on transfer students seeking degree completion.

Auburn University Chapel

The Auburn University Chapel is the second-oldest building and oldest building in its original location on the campus of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. History The chapel was built in 1851 as a Presbyterian church, using slave labor, in the Greek Revival style. During the Civil War, the building briefly served as a Confederate hospital for wounded soldiers, and later in the century was temporarily divided into classrooms when the main building of the nearby Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College burned in 1887. Around 1900, the church was renovated in a Gothic style. The building was sold to the college in 1921, where it became the YMCA/YWCA center for a few years. From 1927 to 1973, it housed the Auburn Players Theater, the college's acting troupe. Between 1973 and 1976, the structure underwent a significant renovation for conversion to the Auburn University Chapel, an interdenominational, multipurpose building, a function it still serves today. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Auburn Players Theater on May 22, 1973.The Auburn University Chapel is believed to be the oldest public establishment in Auburn. It often held weddings and dinners on the lawn. Between 1850 and 1976, the Auburn University Chapel has transitioned from church, to hospital, to classroom, to theatre, and then finally back to a church. The Auburn University Chapel is believed to be haunted. While treating war soldiers, death was inevitable. One death that particularly stands out is the death of Sydney Grimlett. Grimlett was fighting in the Civil War when he suffered an injury and had a procedure to amputate his leg; he did not survive this procedure. The Troupe Theatre group took over in the 1920s, soon audience members began noticing orbs near actors, during state productions. Performers in the group soon noticed objects and props missing from the set. However, Grimlett gained a reputation as a kind ghost and obeys when given candy as an incentive. When the Troupe Theatre group moved they invited Sydney Grimlett to come with and has resided wherever the Troupe may travel.
