Benjamin and Hilarita Lyford House

The Lyford House is a Victorian house located in Tiburon, California. Built in 1876, the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Prehistory The earliest human habitation of the local area was by hunter-gatherer Native American peoples. The clearest extant record of such habitation in the vicinity is on the nearby Ring Mountain, where rock art and grinding stones are found on some of the large boulders. History The Lyford House on Richardson Bay in Tiburon, California, was the home of Benjamin Lyford (1841–1906), a doctor in the Union Army who was born in New Hampshire and raised in Cabot, Vermont. He migrated to San Francisco after the American Civil War to practice medicine. He married Hilarita née Reed (1839–1908), the daughter of John Reed, an Irish immigrant who was granted the Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio, literally "the place where wood is cut for the Presidio", which today comprises the peninsula incorporating Tiburon, Belvedere and much of southern Marin County. The Lyford House was originally located at Strawberry Point as part of Lyford's Eagle Dairy Ranch. It was moved by barge in December 1957 when threatened with demolition and is now owned by the National Audubon Society. The new home's location was on eleven acres belonging to Rose Verrall, who'd lived there for decades and eventually donated the land and property that would become the Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary. The Benjamin Lyford House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. In December 2002 the house was damaged when a tree crashed through the roof. It was closed for a year of restoration, reopening in 2004. References External links Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary Tiburon Heritage & Arts Commission

Bergamot (arts center)

Bergamot Station Arts Center is a Santa Monica facility housing many different private art galleries and appears in most tourist guides as a primary cultural destination. Opened September 17, 1994 as Bergamot Station the campus-like complex is owned by the city of Santa Monica and presently managed by the Worthe Group. History From 1875 to 1953, "Bergamot Station" was the site of a stop and rail car storage area first serving the steam-powered Los Angeles and Independence Railroad and later the Santa Monica Air Line. The station was named after Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), a wildflower native to North America, that once flourished in the area. After passenger service ceased, the line was used for light freight delivery only. Rail car storage was no longer needed and Southern Pacific Railroad leased the land to various companies for light manufacturing. Warehouse buildings were constructed and housed a celery packing operation, then an ice-making plant, and finally, the manufacturing home base for American Appliance water heaters. As the rail line fell into disuse and eventual abandonment in the late 1980s, the City of Santa Monica purchased the entire parcel from Southern Pacific Railroad in 1987 to prevent it from being split up and sold. At that time a future light rail service along the right of way was anticipated within 10 years, and the site would be needed as a rail yard and passenger station. American Appliance moved out in 1993, leaving a sprawling industrial park sitting vacant. Even under the most optimistic scenarios, plans for the light rail were years away. The City, seeking a productive use for the site, approached Wayne Blank, developer and co-owner of the Shoshana Wayne Gallery. Blank's development expertise had already been tapped by the City of Santa Monica for an earlier project: the conversion of a vacant city-owned airport hangar into artists' studios. Pleased with the airport project's outcome, The City asked Blank to conceive of an artistic use for the site. Blank along with acclaimed architect Lawrence Scarpa of the architecture firm Brooks + Scarpa, created a campus-like complex that retained its industrial and rudimentary look. "Blank's search for a limited partner began and ended with Tom Patchett, an art collector and TV writer who was looking for space to store and possibly exhibit his separate collections of contemporary art and Americana" The complex has become so popular that the original rail intention has been usurped. When, in 2010, Phase 2 of the Metro Expo Line was approved, adjacent land was purchased to serve the purpose. 26th Street/Bergamot, a stop on the new Expo Line light rail between Los Angeles and Santa Monica, located just north of the entrance of the new arts destination, was opened to the public on May 20, 2016. Bergamot Station Arts Center is managed by the Worthe Group. Since 2022, the site is managed by Redcar Properties LLC. In 2023, 18 galleries, two restaurants and other business are located in the center. External links Visit Bergamot "Bergamot Stations (Santa Monica) map".

Museo de Historia Natural de San Diego

El Museo de Historia Natural de San Diego (del inglés: San Diego Natural History Museum) fue fundado en 1874 como la Sociedad de Historia Natural de San Diego. Actualmente el museo se encuentra en el Parque Balboa en San Diego y fue inaugurado el 14 de enero de 1933.​​​ En sus primeros años, la Sociedad fue la fuente principal de la cultura científica en la región, al servicio de una pequeña pero creciente comunidad de interesados que buscaban información sobre sus recursos naturales. Los primeros miembros de la sociedad establecieron una estación meteorológica, y presentaron una petición para crear la Reserva Estatal Torrey Pines, por lo que ganaron el apoyo de la Sociedad Zoológica de San Diego. Es la tercera institución científica más antigua al oeste del Misisipi y el más antiguo del Sur de California. En el 2001 hubo varias remodelaciones entre ellas y la más importante fue la de construir el doble de espacio que tenía antes. Orígenes En junio de 1912, la Sociedad se reunió por primera vez en su nuevo cuartel en el Hotel Cecil, construido en la 6tª Avenida en San Diego. Más tarde ese mismo mes las exposiciones creadas por Frank Stephens y Kate se instalaron en una habitación individual y una alcoba adyacente, y fueron abiertas al público en las tardes cada semana, por lo que la Sociedad abrió su primer museo.

Berkeley City College

Berkeley City College (BCC, formerly Vista Community College) is a public community college in Berkeley, California. It is part of the California Community Colleges System and the Peralta Community College District. Berkeley City College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. History Berkeley City College was founded in 1974 as the Berkeley Learning Pavilion, which was renamed the Peralta College for Non-Traditional Study the same year, as a Peralta community college to serve the northern cities of Alameda County: Albany, Berkeley, and Emeryville. It received initial accreditation through the ACCJC in 1977 and in 1978 it was renamed Vista Community College. By 1981, the number of locations with classes offered exceeded 200. The same year, it received full accreditation from ACCJC. Between 1994 and 1996, the college attempted to deannex itself from the Peralta Community College District, but in exchange for dropping the deannexation effort, the Peralta District built a permanent building for the college in 2006. (Before that, classes were offered in many locations throughout the East Bay including UC Berkeley, West Berkeley YMCA, Berkeley High School, the North Berkeley Community Center, St. Mary Magdalene School, the Summit Educational Center, and the Oakland Army Base.) In June 2006, the name was changed to Berkeley City College when it moved into its first and current building, a six-story, 165,000 square foot campus designed to accommodate 7,800 students. Academics The college maintains a strong and unique community college-university collaboration with the University of California at Berkeley. The college had the fifth highest transfer rate to UC Berkeley in California in academic year 2004–05 and remains in the top five as of 2011. Berkeley City College structures its transfer courses into guaranteed afternoon, evening and Saturday schedules so that students can complete University of California and California State University transfer requirements, even if they work full-time. As part of a CalWORKs collaborative, the college has developed training programs for those affected by welfare reform legislation. The college hosts the Center for International Trade Development which provides counseling and international economic development services to local small businesses.

Berkeley Community Theatre

Le Berkeley Community Theatre est un théâtre situé à Berkeley, en Californie, sur le campus de Berkeley High School (en). Le théâtre est utilisé par la Berkeley High School et le Berkeley Unified School District (en). Le bâtiment du théâtre abrite également le Florence Schwimley Little Theatre, un petit théâtre qui est souvent utilisé pour la musique et les représentations théâtrales du Berkeley High School. De style art déco, le théâtre compte 3 491 places. Une grande scène est prolongée par une fosse d'orchestre qui peut être élevée ou abaissée. Histoire Le théâtre a été inauguré le 5 juin 1950 après avoir été partiellement achevé pendant près de neuf ans, en raison des retards causés par la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les étudiants fréquentant le lycée de Berkeley pendant les années de guerre l'appelaient souvent « la Cage à oiseaux », car le cadre métallique exposé était un perchoir pour de nombreuses mouettes attendant que les étudiants terminent leur déjeuner. Le Little Theatre a été nommé d'après Florence Schwimley, qui a enseigné le théâtre à Berkeley High School pendant de nombreuses années. Elle demandait à ses élèves de s'habiller modestement et d'éviter le blasphème, même lorsque le script l'exigeait, en utilisant des phrases de remplacement comme « Confound it! » Le théâtre a été conçu pour abriter un orgue de théâtre, mais aucun n'était encore installé au moment de la construction. Dans les années 1980, un orgue a été déplacé du Paramount Theatre à Toledo (Ohio) et installé au Berkeley Community Theatre par la Nor-Cal Theatre Organ Society. Avec 41 jeux de tuyaux et deux consoles entièrement manuelles (quatre claviers et pédales), ce Wurlitzer est l'un des plus grands et des plus beaux qui existent. L'orgue est entretenu par le travail bénévole de la Society. Le Mighty Wurlitzer peut être entendu joué par des organistes de théâtre professionnels au cours de chaque saison de concerts. Le théâtre est le site où l'album live S&M de Metallica a été enregistré avec l'Orchestre symphonique de San Francisco en 1999. En 1970, Jimi Hendrix et le Jimi Hendrix Experience ont donné deux spectacles, aboutissant à un album posthume sorti en 2003. Led Zeppelin, Paul Robeson, Bob Dylan, Tangerine Dream, Stan Getz, The Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell, Robin Trower, Frank Zappa, James Taylor, Richie Havens, Alice Cooper, Lenny Bruce, Harry Chapin, Elton John, Eagles et The Band sont parmi les autres artistes qui s'y sont produits. Le théâtre a accueilli des conférences de militants politiques comme Arundhati Roy, Al Franken et Amy Goodman. Bibliographie Robert E. Johnson et Janet L.

Roseraie de Berkeley

La roseraie de Berkeley (Berkeley Rose Garden) est un parc municipal de 13,7 hectares comprenant une roseraie située à Berkeley en Californie. Elle se trouve dans une zone résidentielle du nord de la ville, sur Beverley Hills, entre les quartiers de Cragmont et de La Loma Park, occupant presque tout l'espace entre Eunice Street et Bayview Place, le long du côté Ouest d'Euclid Avenue. Roseraie La roseraie est en forme d'amphithéâtre à terrasses ; elle est nichée dans un petit vallon et offre une jolie vue sur la ville, la baie de San Francisco et le Golden Gate. Plus de mille cinq cents pieds de deux cent cinquante variétés de roses sont cultivées sur les six étages de terrasses, et l'apogée de leur floraison a lieu dans la seconde quinzaine de mai. Une pergola pour les rosiers grimpants longe l'amphithéâtre en hauteur. Le parc est coupé par le ruisseau Codornices. La partie Nord de la roseraie comprend des courts de tennis. La partie Sud est un bosquet où poussent des séquoias, des lauriers de Californie et des chênes sempervirents. L'aménagement de la roseraie a commencé en 1933, selon les plans de Vernon Dean, grâce à des fonds fournis par la Civil Works Administration fédérale, dans la continuité du New Deal de Roosevelt. Les travaux se poursuivent les années suivantes par le financement de la California State Relief Administration et de la Works Progress Administration fédérale. Les roses (une centaine de variétés au départ) sont choisies par C. V. Covell. Elle ouvre le 26 septembre 1937. Depuis cette date, la roseraie a été le lieu de nombreux concours de roses. Codornices Park De l'autre côté d'Euclid Avenue se trouve le Codornices Park, vieux parc municipal (établi en 1915) dont la roseraie était considérée au début comme une extension. Le parc Codornices possède une grande pelouse, une zone de pique-nique, une aire de jeux pour les enfants et une longue aire cimentée pour les planches à roulettes. On trouve aussi un club house. Un tunnel piétonnier sous Euclid Avenue relie le parc à la roseraie. De 1912 à 1928 avant l'inauguration de la roseraie, un tramway en bois et un tréteau routier de 84 m enjambaient le ruisseau Codornices, le long d'Euclid Avenue. Le tunnel a été construit en 1928-1929. Une grande partie du remblai provenait de l'excavation d'une petite colline sur le campus de l'université de Berkeley dans le cadre de la construction du Giannini Hall.
