Walter F. George Lake

Der Walter F. George Lake, in Alabama meist Lake Eufaula genannt, ist ein Stausee, der in den US-Bundesstaaten Georgia und Alabama liegt. Der Name ehrt den Politiker Walter F. George. Lage Am Westufer befindet sich die Stadt Eufaula, am Ostufer liegt Georgetown. Der Stausee wird in erster Linie vom Chattahoochee River gespeist. Weitere kleine Flüsse und Bäche fließen in den See. An der Südspitze bei Fort Gaines befindet sich die Walter F. George Lock and Dam genannte Staumauer, die den Chattahoochee River aufstaut, am nördlichen Teil erstreckt sich das Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, ein Naturreservat, in dem ganzjährige Vogelbeobachtungen sowie Fischfangaktivitäten und Bootstouren möglich sind. Geschichte Im Jahr 1963 wurde vom United States Army Corps of Engineers der Walter F. George Lock and Dam genannte Staudamm errichtet, der den Chattahoochee River aufstaute, wodurch ein Stausee mit einer Oberfläche von rund 180 km² entstand. Dieser Stausee erfüllt mehrere Aufgaben: Kontrolle des Flusswasserspiegels und Hochwasserschutz Elektrische Energieerzeugung mittels Hydropower Schaffung einer schiffbaren Fahrrinne Gründung von Naherholungsgebieten mit touristischen Einrichtungen Vor der Flutung wurden im Bereich des neu zu bildenden Stausees zahlreiche Bäume abgeholzt.

Walter F. George Lake

The Walter F. George Lake, named for Walter F. George (1878–1957), a United States senator from Georgia, is formed on the Chattahoochee River along the state line between Alabama and Georgia. It is also widely known by the name, Lake Eufaula – particularly in Alabama, where the state legislature passed a resolution on June 25, 1963, to give the lake that name. The 46,000 acres (190 km2) lake extends north about 85 miles (140 km) from the Walter F. George Lock and Dam (31°37′10″N 85°4′15″W) and has approximately 640 miles (1,030 km) of shoreline. Popular activities along the lake include camping and trophy fishing. The lake is primarily controlled by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The states control several other protected lands along the lake, including the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge and Lakepoint State Park in Alabama, and Florence Marina and George T. Bagby state parks in Georgia. The flooding of the land in the area covered numerous historic and prehistoric sites associated with Native American culture. Indigenous peoples had lived along the river for thousands of years. The unincorporated area of Oketeyeconne, Georgia, which historically had a majority of Native American residents, was evacuated in the 1950s to allow creation of the lake.

Lac Walter F. George

Le lac Walter F. George, nommé en l'honneur de Walter F. George (1878-1957), sénateur originaire de Géorgie, est formé à partir de la rivière Chattahoochee, le long de la frontière entre l'Alabama et la Géorgie. Il est également connu sous le nom de lac Eufaula - en particulier en Alabama, où la législature de l'État a adopté une résolution le 25 juin 1963 pour attribuer ce nom au lac. Le lac, d'une superficie de 46 000 acres, s'étend au nord à environ 140 km de l'écluse et du barrage Walter F. George et a environ 1 030 km de rivage. Les activités populaires le long du lac comprennent le camping et la pêche. Le lac est essentiellement contrôlé par le Corps du génie de l'armée des États-Unis. Les États contrôlent plusieurs autres terres protégées le long du lac, notamment le Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge et le parc d’État de Lakepoint en Alabama, ainsi que les parcs d’État de Florence Marina et George T. Bagby en Géorgie. L'inondation des terres dans la région a couvert de nombreux sites historiques et préhistoriques associés à la culture amérindienne. Les peuples autochtones vivaient le long du fleuve depuis des milliers d'années. La zone d'Oketeyeconne, en Géorgie, qui comptait à l'époque une majorité de résidents amérindiens, a été évacuée dans les années 1950 pour permettre la création du lac.

Rogers Hall

Rogers Hall, also known as Courtview, is a three-story antebellum house at 500 Court Street in Florence, Alabama. It was built by enslaved people from 1854 to 1855. It is one of the oldest historic landmarks on the University of North Alabama campus and one of the university's most distinctive structures. The building was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey from 1934 to 1935. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1974. History The Greek Revival-style mansion was constructed for George Washington Foster, a prominent local with plantations in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. Located at the summit of Court Street and the highest point in Florence, Foster named his residence Courtview. Because construction would result in the permanent obstruction of a major thoroughfare, Foster had to secure the approval of the Alabama Legislature before work could begin. Permission was granted with the stipulation that "the beauty of the home justify the inconvenience caused the people of the city." He had the grounds professionally landscaped by the Hastings firm out of Atlanta. Foster died in 1878, with the property going to his daughter, Sarah Independence Foster, and her husband, Stirling Payne MacDonald. MacDonald was a former captain in the Confederate Army. According to the diary of Sarah Foster MacDonald, the grounds were occupied by camps of Confederate and Union soldiers during the American Civil War. Union Army officers, under the command of William Tecumseh Sherman, stayed in house on November 3, 1863. Confederate generals P. G. T. Beauregard, Nathan Bedford Forrest and Stephen D. Lee visited the home in 1864. General Forrest, his wife, and son stayed with the Foster family for several days. Courtview was occupied by members of the Foster family until 1900, when it was sold to Emmet O'Neal, a Wesleyan University alumnus who served as the 34th Governor of Alabama from 1911 to 1915. After 1915, O'Neal lived in Birmingham and rented out the building as a boarding house. It was acquired by Thomas M. Rogers in 1922 and underwent significant restoration and remodeling. The Rogers family sold the house in 1948 to Florence State Teachers College, now known as the University of North Alabama. During the 1950s, the former residence was used as a guest house and for social events. The parlors on the first floor were used frequently for student meetings. The dining room and adjoining rooms were used by faculty and members of the Florence community. During the early 1980s, alumni, faculty and staff initiated "Project Courtview", a fund drive to restore Rogers Hall. Over 700 people volunteered their services. References External links UNA website
Rosenbaum House

Rosenbaum House ou Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House est une villa de style moderne-usonia-organique-Prairie School, construite en 1939 par l'architecte américain Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), à Florence en Alabama aux États-Unis. Elle est inscrite au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis 1978, et transformée en musée depuis 2002. Historique Après avoir lu l'autobiographie de Frank Lloyd Wright dans la revue Time (magazine) de 1938, Stanley et Mildred Rosenbaum lui demande de leur construire cette maison usonia sur un terrain arboré de 8 100 m2, pour s'y installer en 1940, avec leurs quatre enfants (dont Jonathan Rosenbaum, futur critique de cinéma américain). Des photos de la maison sont alors exposées le mois suivant au Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) de Manhattan à New York. Cette villa usonia caractéristique de 143 m2 est construite en forme de L, en brique et bois de cyprès, avec de vastes baies vitrées, terrasse, toit-terrasse, et de nombreux mobiliers intégrés. Les Rosenbaum font agrandir leur maison de 100 m2 en 1948. La famille Rosenbaum y vit jusqu'en 1999, avant de la revendre à la municipalité de Florence, pour la faire entièrement rénover selon les plans d'origine, avant de l'ouvrir au public en 2002 sous forme de musée municipal. Villas usonia de Frank Lloyd Wright Cette villa fait partie d'une importante série de villas usonia de Frank Lloyd Wright, avec entre autres les villa Hanna-Honeycomb (1937), Bernard Schwartz House (1939), Charles Manson House (1941), Villa Weltzheimer-Johnson (1949), Villa Melvyn Maxwell et Sara Stein Smith (1950), Alvin Miller House (1951), Laurent House (1951), Zimmerman House (1951)...

Rosenbaum House

Rosenbaum House är ett enfamiljshus i Florence i Alabama, som ritades av Frank Lloyd Wright. Biografföretagaren, och senare professorn i engelska, Stanley Rosenbaum och hans hustru Mildred (1917–2006) uppdrog 1938 åt Frank Lloyd Wright att rita ett bostadshus efter att ha läst hans självbiografi. Huset på 601 Riverview Drive nära Tennesseefloden, blev klart 1940 efter en långdragen och besvärlig byggnadsperiod, är ett av Frank Lloyd Wrights hus efter hans så kallade usonian-koncept. Detta begrepp används för ett sextiotal enfamiljshus av Frank Lloyd Wright från 1936 och framåt. Dessa var vanligen förhållandevis små envåningsbyggnader utan garage och med små lagringsutrymmen. De var ofta L-formade för att ge utrymme för en skyddad utomhusterrass på små och billiga tomter. De byggdes i lokala byggnadsmaterial och hade platta tak och av miljöskäl stora överhängande tak. De hade genomtänkta lösningar för att tillvarata naturligt ljus och för att intrycksmässigt binda ihop inom- och utomhusmiljöer. Rosenbaum House upptogs i USA:s National Register of Historic Places 1978. Mildred Rosenbaum bodde kvar i huset till 1999. Huset, som är svårt och kostsamt att underhålla, hade då delvis förfallit. Mildred Rosenbaum överlät hus och inredning till Florence kommun, som lät restaurera huset till originalskick under en treårsperiod och öppnade det för allmänheten 2002. Arkitektur Huset är L-format i en våning och byggt i cypressträ, tegel och glas. Det har utskjutande tak på stålbjälkar, vilka täcker bstadsrum och en uppställningsplats för bil. De flesta rummen har dörr direkt till trädgården. Husets kärna är en stor eldstad i sten. Huset hade ursprungligen en yta på 143 kvadratmeter, och utvidgades 1948, då fyra barn ingick i ägarfamiljen. Utvidgningen, också med Frank Lloyd Wright som arkitekt, var på 100 kvadratmeter i en andra L-formad del av huset. Huset ligger på en 8 100 kvadratmeter stor tomt.

Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve

Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve is a 1,038 acres (4.20 km2) nature preserve located in the eastern portion of Jefferson County, Alabama, in the City of Birmingham's historic South East Lake neighborhood. The preserve includes a visitor center containing native Alabama animals including raptors, snakes, turtles, and owls. The Ruffner Mountain area was home to iron ore mines and stone quarries, supplying the area's steel mills. The preserve contains more than 14 miles (23 km) of hiking trails. History In 1883, William Henry Ruffner, a professor at Roanoke College who had served as Virginia's first superintendent of public instruction and who had trained as geologist at Washington & Lee University, and John L. Campbell completed a survey for the Georgia Pacific Railway from Atlanta to the Mississippi River, including the Birmingham District. It attracted the interest of Georgia Pacific directors in acquiring mineral lands and furnace works in the Birmingham District. In 1887, company president John W. Johnston acquired control of the Sloss Furnace Company, including its limestone quarry at Gate City and the soft ore mines that opened at Irondale that year. Daily output of the Irondale mines in 1887 was 135 tons.... After the turn of the century those mines were renamed Ruffner.... The mines closed June 1, 1953.... The Ruffner Mountain Nature Coalition, a nonprofit organization formed in 1977, presently leases 28 acres of the former mining site from the City of Birmingham. The land includes the abandoned limestone quarry in which the fossil remains of ancient sealife (bryozoans, brachipods and corals) are well-exposed. The old mining roads now serve as nature trails and the house at 1214 81st Street South on the northern slope of Red Mountain serves as headquarters for a nature center, wildlife reclamation activities and natural history exhibits. When the mines were finally shut down in the 1950s, nature reclaimed the area. 1977 marked the beginning of the Ruffner Mountain Nature Coalition, a nonprofit that leased 28 acres of land belonging to the City of Birmingham for protection and preservation. The Trust for Public Land added over 500 acres (2.0 km2) to the preserve from 1983 to 1985, and an additional 400 acres (1.6 km2) in 2000 under Alabama's Forever Wild program. In 2010, construction was completed on RMNC's state-of-the-art LEED certified Treetop Visitor Center and Education Pavilion. The new 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) nature center replaced the organization's old administrative office building, visitor center, and pavilion. The contractor, Stewart Perry, Inc., and architect, KPS Group, designed a building using sustainable architecture and materials ranging from a rainwater collection system to a myriad of recycled building materials and furnishings.

Saint Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church (Anniston, Alabama)

Saint Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church (also known as the First Christian Church) is a historic Methodist church building at 1327 Leighton Avenue in Anniston, Alabama, United States. It was built in 1888 and added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1985. Its National Register nomination describes it as "a Gothic structure with Victorian influences constructed of native sandstone ashlar, set on a raised basement of slightly different stone, with a gabled roof and subordinate cross gables. The dominant feature is an entry and bell tower on the north side with a Gothic pointed-arch door, circular windows with a Star of David design set in tracery on each face of the tower at the second stage, and at the third stage, horizontal wooden siding which replaced the original pierced triple lancets in the belfry opening about 1940. The slate spire is also a replacement, and the pinnacles that rose from the tower are gone." It was built under supervision of English master stonemason Simon Jewell, who also worked on two other large sandstone churches in Anniston.

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church (Mobile, Alabama)

St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, now known as Prince of Peace Catholic Church, is a historic Catholic church in Mobile, Alabama. It was designed by a local architect, James H. Hutchisson, in the Gothic Revival style. The current building was built in 1874 and dedicated on January 21, 1877. It replaced an earlier frame structure that had been completed in 1847 and burned prior to the erection of this building. This building was originally the parish church for Saint Vincent de Paul Parish. A Ludowici clay tile roof was first installed on the building around 1918, and later repaired with new tile from the same manufacturer after damage caused by Hurricane Frederic. The neighboring Black parish, St. Peter Claver, was established in 1911. On December 25, 1970 these two parishes were combined to form Prince of Peace. A new St. Vincent de Paul Parish was then established in western Mobile County to serve the Tillmans Corner area. The original church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 1992, as a part of the Historic Roman Catholic Properties in Mobile Multiple Property Submission. References
