St. Elmo (Colorado)

St. Elmo è una città fantasma della contea di Chaffee, Colorado, Stati Uniti. Fondata nel 1880, St. Elmo si trova nel cuore della catena di Sawatch, a 20 miglia (32 km) a sud-ovest di Buena Vista, a un'altitudine di 9,961 piedi (3,036 m). Quasi 2000 persone si stabilirono in questa città quando iniziò l'estrazione di oro e argento. L'industria mineraria iniziò a declinare nei primi anni 1920, e nel 1922 la ferrovia cessò il servizio. La comunità è iscritta al National Register of Historic Places come distretto storico. È una delle città fantasma meglio conservate del Colorado. Storia In origine, St. Elmo era chiamata Forest City, ma in seguito il nome fu cambiato a causa dell'omonimia con molti altri centri abitati. Il nuovo nome derivò dall'omonimo romanzo che Griffith Evans, uno dei padri fondatori, stava leggendo in quel periodo. La città giunse al proprio apice negli anni 1890, quando era dotata di un ufficio telegrafico, un negozio, un municipio, 5 hotel, saloon, sale da ballo, una redazione di un giornale e una scuola. La linea ferroviaria della Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad attraversava St. Elmo. C'erano 150 richieste di miniere brevettate nell'area. La maggior parte delle persone che vivevano a St. Elmo lavoravano presso le miniere Mary Murphy, Teresa C., The Molly o Pioneer. La miniera Mary Murphy era la miniera più grande e di maggior successo dell'area. Da quest'ultima infatti furono estratti oltre 60.000.000 $ di oro quando era in funzione. Mentre le altre miniere alla fine si esaurirono, la miniera Mary Murphy rimase aperta fino a quando la ferrovia fu abbandonata nel 1922. Una volta che l'industria mineraria terminò, la popolazione di St. Elmo diminuì drasticamente. I minatori si spostarono altrove per cercare oro e argento e anche il distretto degli affari di St. Elmo fu chiuso. Poche persone continuarono a vivere in città. Il servizio postale fu interrotto nel 1952 dopo la morte del direttore postale di St. Elmo. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su St. Elmo
St. Elmo

St. Elmo är en spökstad i staten Colorado i USA. Staden, som grundades år 1880, ligger i hjärtat av bergskedjan Sawatch Range på 3 050 meters höjd över havet. När man började att gräva efter guld och silver bodde nästan 2 000 personer här. Gruvverksamheten tog slut i början av 1920-talet och järnvägen slutade att gå år 1922. St. Elmo är utnämnd till historiskt minnesmärke i National Register of Historic Places som St. Elmo Historic District och är en av Colorados bäst bevarade spökstäder. Historik St. Elmo hette ursprungligen Forest City, men eftersom det fanns många städer med det namnet ändrade man det till St. Elmo, ett namn som en av stadens grundare, Griffith Evans, valde efter att ha läst en bok med den titeln. St. Elmo hade sina glansdagar på 1890-talet, med både en telegrafstation, affär, stadshus, 5 hotell, flera salooner och danspalats, en tidningsredaktion och en skola. Den smalspåriga järnvägslinjen från Denver Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad gick genom St. Elmo och det fanns hela 150 inmutningar inom området. De flesta invånarna arbetade i gruvbolagen varav Mary Murphy Mine var det största. Guld för mer än 60 miljoner dollar hämtades ut ur den gruvan. Mary Murphygruvan, som var den sista i St. Elmo som stängdes, lades ned år 1922 när järnvägen slutade att gå. Efter gruvornas stängning minskade befolkningen i St. Elmo kraftigt. Gruvarbetarna sökte sig till andra ställen där det fanns guld och silver och stadens affärsdistrikt stängdes ned. Endast ett fåtal invånare stannade kvar i St. Elmo och postkontoret stängde när postmästaren dog år 1952. Även om St. Elmo idag betecknas som en spökstad så är den fortfarande bebodd. Många turister besöker staden och affären är öppen på sommaren. De flesta byggnaderna är ursprungliga, bortsett från några som har återuppbyggts efter en brand år 2002.

Oriental Theater (Denver)

The Oriental Theater is a historic theater is located in Berkeley neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. Since opening in 1927, the venue has hosted numerous functions both private and public. The venue allows minors and consumers over 21 to function together, rather than having to be separated by their ages. It is currently used as a live music venue and is registered with the National Register of Historic Places. History The Oriental Theater was built in 1927 and originally started off showcasing movie films. In 1960, the owners decided to put in new seats and carpet to attract customers but due to the lack of response the theater had to close. After 45 years of inactivity, it was purchased by Scott Labarbera, in 2005, and turned into a live music venue. Labarbera was owner from 2005 and sold to Jim Norris and 3 Kings Tavern Entertainment in 2009. In 2011, Scott Labarbera, Andy Bercaw and Lara Moore bought back the theater but the opening was shortly lived. They were forced to shut down for renovation to the building due to part of the structure almost falling on concert goers during an event. In 2012, after the much needed fixes and help of investors, the venue was re-opened. Presently the theater host's some of Denver's largest events with local and national acts and has the same owner.

Boulder Reservoir

Boulder Reservoir is located in the northern part of Boulder, Colorado. It stores water for the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District — also called Northern Water — and for the City of Boulder. The reservoir is the centerpiece of the Boulder Reservoir Regional Park, which is managed by the City of Boulder's Department of Parks and Recreation. The reservoir receives most of its water from Colorado's Western Slope through the Alva B. Adams Tunnel and the Boulder Feeder Canal, both part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. Some of the stored water is used as part of Boulder's municipal water supply and some is used for agricultural purposes in Boulder and Weld counties. Boulder Reservoir Regional Park The reservoir's surface area is 700 acres. According to Boulder's Parks and Recreation Department, the chief recreation activities at the park are "boating, swimming, sun bathing, water skiing, fishing, picnics, walking, running, cycling and wildlife viewing." The reservoir has a robust Aquatics nuisance species mitigation program. All watercraft including stand up paddleboards, kayaks canoes belly boats and motorboats require a valid annual City of Boulder boat permit to use the facility. The facility prohibits dogs May 15 - Labor day and charges admission fees April - October. The reservoir is popular among anglers, especially those fishing for walleye, smallmouth bass, and catfish. In recent years, the State of Colorado has stocked the reservoir with black crappie, saugeye, and rainbow trout. Ice fishing is also possible when the lake is frozen. The reservoir was completed in 1955.

Handy Chapel

Handy Chapel is the only original church building still standing in the original square mile of Grand Junction, Colorado. The land that the chapel was built on was deeded to "the black citizens of Grand Junction" for the express purpose of building a place of worship in 1883, just two short years after Grand Junction was originally staked out by town founder and Governor George A. Crawford. It took the African American community nine years to raise the required $962.50 to build the church, which was completed in 1892. The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. References
Castlewood Canyon State Park

Der Castlewood Canyon State Park ist ein staatlicher Park bei Franktown in Colorado, USA. Eine Sehenswürdigkeit in dem Park sind die Überreste des Castlewood Canyon Dam am Cherry Creek als einzigartiges Objekt der Geschichte Colorados. Man kann immer noch die Ruinen und die Schäden aus einem Dammbruch von 1933 sehen. Außerdem gibt es in dem Park die historische Cherry Creek Bridge zu sehen. Dammbruch 1933 Bei dem Dammbruch am 3. August 1933 entstand eine 5 m hohe Flutwelle, die sich bis in die Altstadt von Denver ergoss. Dabei gab es zwei Tote. Eine größere Zahl von Toten wurde dadurch verhindert, dass der Staumeister den Dammbruch um 2:00 Uhr in der Nacht telefonisch in der Telefonzentrale in Denver meldete. Als die Flutwelle um 7:00 Uhr 20 Meilen (32 km) flussabwärts in Denver ankam, war die Bevölkerung von der Polizei gewarnt worden. Die Staumauer war 1890 gebaut worden. Etwa ein Drittel des Bauwerks steht heute noch am westlichen Flussufer. Der etwa 100 m lange östliche Teil wurde weggespült. Außerdem wurden sechs Brücken zerstört.

Castlewood Canyon State Park

Castlewood Canyon State Park is a Colorado state park near Franktown, Colorado. The park retains a unique part of Colorado's history, the remains of Castlewood Canyon Dam. Visitors can still see the remnants and damage from that dam which burst in 1933. The event sent a 15-foot (5 m) wave of water all the way to downtown Denver resulting in a flood. Also contained within the park is the historic Cherry Creek Bridge. Recreation This park hosts a multitude of hiking/running trails, handicapped access trails and rock climbing opportunities, as well as a nature preservation area on the eastern side that is home to wildlife and interesting geological features. Located within the northernmost extension of the Black Forest, Castle Wood Canyon encompasses 2,136 acres (9 km2) with elevations ranging from 6,200 to 6,600 feet (2,010 m). Many urban dwellers come for the picnic opportunity away from the city (group picnic facilities can be reserved), others visit the park because of the unusual geology, particularly the caprock features. Wildlife, ecology, and geography Among the many species living in the park are coyote, cottontail rabbit, red fox, black bear, mule deer, prairie rattlesnake, mountain lion, meadow jumping mouse, turkey vulture, golden eagle, prairie falcon, virile crayfish, Woodhouse's toad and the northern leopard frog. Ecosystem Zones in the park are grasslands, shrublands, riparian, foothills-conifer, and caprock. Castlewood Canyon is on the edge of the Palmer Divide, a geologically upraised area that results in more moisture falling than is normal in eastern Colorado, watering the Black Forest. History The Cherry Creek Rockshelter archeological site is located within the park. The Castlewood Dam in Castlewood Canyon, built in 1890, suffered an utter collapse following heavy rains at 1 am on 3 August 1933, resulting in a 15-foot wall of water rushing down Cherry Creek to Denver, some 15 miles away. Warnings to the city by 4 am allowed most people to move out of the way of the flood waters. Castlewood State Park was formed in 1964, following an 87-acre land purchase in 1961 and an additional 792-acre purchase in the late 1970s.

Kathedralbasilika der Unbefleckten Empfängnis (Denver)

Die Kathedralbasilika der Unbefleckten Empfängnis (englisch Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Denver, Hauptstadt des US-amerikanischen Bundesstaates Colorado. Die Kathedrale des Erzbistums Denver mit dem Patrozinium der Unbefleckten Empfängnis trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor und ist als nationales historisches Denkmal gelistet. Geschichte Nach einer Vorgängerkirche von 1860 erfolgte der Baubeginn der Kathedrale am Capitol Hill 1902, der Grundstein wurde erst 1906 gelegt. Bereits 1911 konnte sie fertiggestellt werden. Der erste Gottesdienst wurde im Oktober 1912 gefeiert, die Kirchweihe erfolgte erst 1921. 1975 wurde die Kathedrale in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Papst Johannes Paul II. verlieh der Kathedrale 1979 zusätzlich den Titel einer Basilica minor, 1993 feierte er im Rahmen des Weltjugendtages eine Messe in der Kathedralbasilika. Bauwerk Der Detroiter Architekt Leon Coquard entwarf die Kathedrale im Stil der Neugotik. Als Ausgangspunkt diente die französische Kollegiatstiftskirche Saint-Nicolas aus dem 13. Jahrhundert in Munster, dem Geburtsort des damaligen Bischofs Nicholas Chrysostom Matz. Die dreischiffige Kreuzbasilika wurde mit einer Länge von 59 Metern und einer Breite von 35 Metern errichtet. Das Gewölbe des Mittelschiffs erreicht eine Höhe von 21 Metern, die Kirchtürme ragen 64 Meter hoch und tragen ein Geläut mit 15 Glocken. Die Doppelturmfassade besitzt drei Portale mit Messingtüren. Als Baumaterial der Kirche wurde Kalkstein aus Indiana verwendet, die Fundamente wurden aus Granit aus Gunnison in Colorado erstellt. Ursprünglich fasste die Kathedrale 1000 Besucher, nach der Umgestaltung infolge des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils nunmehr 800 Gläubige. Ausstattung Im Innenraum wurden die wichtigsten Ausstattungselemente aus Carrara-Marmor gefertigt: der Altar und der Ambo, die Statuen und die Kathedra sowie die Kommunionbank. Weiterhin kam Marmor aus Colorado zum Einsatz. Die insgesamt 75 Buntglasfenster wurden in der königlichen Hofglasmalerei des Franz Xaver Zettler in München geschaffen, die größte Fläche an Bleiverglasung einer US-amerikanischen Kirche. Die Orgel des Herstellers Kimball aus dem Jahr 1912 besitzt 43 Register und wird über drei Manuale gespielt, sie wurde 1996 überarbeitet.
