Waveny Park

Waveny Park, también conocido como Waveny House, es un parque ubicado en New Canaan (Connecticut), Estados Unidos. La pieza central del parque es el castillo construido en 1912 y rodeado por aproximadamente 300 acres (1,2 km²) de campos, estanques y senderos.​ El arquitecto de la estructura fue William Tubby.​ El diseño del paisaje para la residencia original estuvo a cargo del arquitecto paisajista Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.​​ Históricamente, Waveny Park fue edificada para la familia Lewis Lapham y lleva este nombre en honor al río Waveney, lugar donde vivieron sus antepasados.​ Ha sido refugio y hogar de muchos niños que practicaban deportes y pescaban en el estanque, granjeros que se dedicaban al cultivo de maíz y la cría de pollos y cerdos y de otros personajes reconocidos en los medios.​ La propiedad se incluyó en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 2019.​ El parque limita con Farm Road al norte, Merritt Parkway al sur, South Avenue al este y Lapham Road al oeste. A lo largo de los años, se han construido numerosas estructuras urbanas adicionales y sitios de interés en varias partes de la propiedad, incluida la escuela secundaria New Canaan, un centro acuático, dos torres públicas de suministro de agua, canchas de pádel, campos de fútbol, béisbol, tenis y sóftbol, zonas verdes, áreas abiertas, fuentes y estatuas.​​​ También se encuentra la oficina del Departamento de Recreación de New Canaan.​ En el primer piso de Waveny House se encuentran varios sitios como un salón, una biblioteca, sala de estar y de billar, patio con vistas a los jardines, y una sala para desayunar; en el segundo piso se ubican varias salas que normalmente se utilizan para realizar conferencias y reuniones.​ Para poder utilizar algunas de estas instalaciones, se cobra una tarifa nominal anual. Muchas personas de todo el condado de Fairfield disfrutan de las recreaciones de los parques.​ A menudo se celebran actuaciones, fiestas y diversas actividades y sirve como un espacio de recreación comunitaria.​ Lewis Henry Lapham, uno de los fundadores de la petrolera Texaco y el hombre que construyó Waveny House, pasó allí los veranos con su familia durante muchos años. La familia Lapham entregó al pueblo de New Canaan la mayor parte de los terrenos de la propiedad en 1967 y vendió Waveny House y los 300 acres que lo rodean por $ 1 500 000.​ El actor estadounidense Christopher Lloyd (protagonista de algunas películas como Back to the Future y The Addams Family), nacido en Stamford (Connecticut), vivió en la mansión Waveny.​ La casa sirvió para realizar algunas tomas exteriores de la ficticia 'Cortlandt Manor' en la serie de televisión All My Children.​ Los exteriores de la finca también se utilizaron en la nueva versión de la película The Stepford Wives, estrenada en junio de 2004.​ Referencias Enlaces externos

Webster Theater

The Webster Theater is a music venue in the south end of Hartford, Connecticut. The Webster Underground is an attached smaller venue, which usually acts as a second stage during concerts on the main stage. History The Webster opened on November 19, 1937 as a movie theater by the Shulman family. Hartford's mayor, councilmen, and Connecticut state Senators were in attendance for opening night. In the 1930s and 1940s, the theater hosted a weekly "dish night," a common practice for theaters of the time, where patrons would receive free dishes to entice them to the theater. The theater was successful until the advent of the television kept more people in their homes, while the Interstate Highway System brought more people out to the suburbs. After falling attendance, in 1974 the Shulmans leased the theater to Starship Enterprises who promised to show family films while introducing live music into the theater. They redecorated the main lobby and had sprawling moonscapes painted on the ceilings. However, the family film plan failed to bring sufficient funds to the theater, and new management turned the Webster into a showcase for adult films. In the fall of 1986 Mr. Shulman saw a chance to revive the theater. Along with the owner of the Warner Theater in Torrington, Shulman invested about $50,000 to restore carpeting, paint, and install a 17' by 34' screen which was, at the time, the largest in the state. The theater featured movies on the second release, and admission was $2 for adults and $.99 for children and senior citizens. Modern day In the 2000s, CBS and ClearChannel offered to buy the Webster, but neither was successful. In 1996 No Doubt and Incubus, both virtually unknown artists at the time, opened for well known 311 at the Webster. Today, the theater is primarily a music venue seven days a week, featuring national acts on the Mainstage and mostly local and regional talent on the Underground stage. The venue mainly features hard rock, metal, and hardcore bands these days. In the late 1990s and early to mid 2000s in addition to many hard rock/metal bands (Megadeth, Slipknot, Fear Factory, Deftones, Static-X, Machine Head), the venue welcomed many bands from the "jamband" and improvisational rock scene. Max Creek, Leftover Salmon, Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, The Slip, Keller Williams, Tim Reynolds, Strangefolk, Chris Robinson's (of Black Crowes fame) band New Earth Mud, Percy Hill, Disco Biscuits, The New Deal, Deep Banana Blackout, Maceo Parker, Vince Welnick (of The Grateful Dead), Robby Krieger (of The Doors) and The Word (feat. John Medeski of Medeski Martin & Wood, Robert Randolph and all three members of The North Mississippi All-Stars) to name a few acts that played in that era. The Webster has begun to take an approach towards the underground rap scene, recently hosting artists like Rich Amiri, Xaviersobased, and Nettspend. References

Welch Hall (Yale University)

Harmanus Welch Hall is a freshman dormitory at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. The building is located on Yale University's Old Campus. Pierce N. Welch, an 1862 graduate of Yale College, Mrs. Cora Van Milligan, and Mrs. Grace M. Davies, heirs of Harmanus M. Welch, mayor of New Haven from 1860 to 1863, donated the building to Yale in 1891 in accordance with their father's wishes. The architect Bruce Price designed the building. Welch Hall faces College Street and the New Haven Green on one side and the interior of Yale's Old Campus on the other. Carved above the first-floor windows at both ends of the College Street façade is the inscription AD 1891. The dormitory is Victorian English Collegiate in style and built of Longmeadow freestone. The building has been altered and renovated several times. The first floor, converted in 1938 for the Office of Admissions and the Freshman Year, was restored to use as a dormitory in 1962 and 1964. In 1976, the building underwent a major renovation led by architect Herbert S. Newman and funded by John Hay Whitney, a 1926 graduate of Yale College. Welch Hall is currently occupied by Ezra Stiles College freshmen. It is considered among Yale students to be one of the more desirable freshman residence halls because it has many single bedrooms, large common rooms, and internal emergency exit doors without alarms, allowing residents to move freely between different parts of the building without having to go outside or through the basement. On the building's first floor are two suites, nicknamed the "10-pack" and the "12-pack," that are two of Yale's largest freshmen suites. On the building's fourth and fifth floors are the coveted "Princess Suites," which feature two-story common areas, skylights, and spacious bedrooms. References
Westfarms

Westfarms is a shopping mall on the West Hartford–Farmington town line in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is owned and managed by Simon Property Group, which acquired original developer Taubman Centers in 2025. The mall was opened in 1974, expanded in 1982 and 1995–1997, and remodeled in 2008–2009. With 1,267,000 square feet (117,700 m2) of gross leasable area, Westfarms is the third-largest mall in Connecticut. It is located on Route 71, off the I-84 and Route 9 junction and near several open-air shopping plazas. History Westfarms opened in 1974. It was developed by Bloomfield Hills-based Taubman Centers, which remains in charge of its management since then. Its original anchors were G. Fox & Co., JCPenney, and Sage-Allen. The mall was expanded with a new retail wing in 1982, which included a Lord & Taylor store. Hartford-based G. Fox was acquired by Boston-based Filene's in 1992, and the Westfarms store was rebranded on January 30, 1993. Sage-Allen filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1992, and closed permanently in 1993. Facing competition from the newer Buckland Hills Mall in nearby Manchester, Taubman began a USD $100-million renovation and expansion of Westfarms in 1995. In the first phase, Filene's and Lord & Taylor were remodeled, and the vacated Sage-Allen space became a Filene's Men's & Home. A four-level parking garage was built in the second phase in 1996, and a new retail wing between J. C. Penney and Lord & Taylor with two additional parking garages was completed in 1997. The wing is anchored by Seattle-based Nordstrom, which opened on September 6, 1997. It was the first Nordstrom in New England and remained their only store in Connecticut until The SoNo Collection in Norwalk opened in 2019. On September 9, 2006, Filene's became Macy's. In August 2020, it was announced that all Lord & Taylor stores would close, as a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Jordan's Furniture opened in the space in 2023. The mall is owned and managed by Simon Property Group, which acquired original developer Taubman.[1] Architecture Unlike many enclosed malls, Westfarms does not feature a common-area food court, but some wings of the mall contain several quick service restaurants that are housed in their own storefronts.

Westport Library

The Westport Library is a public library in the town of Westport, Connecticut, established on February 4, 1886, by members of the Westport Reading-Room and Library Association. Morris Ketchum Jesup, born in 1830 to a country doctor, amassed a fortune in the railroad business and became the benefactor of the library, donating the land and $5,000 for the building. In April 1908, the Westport Public Library was completed at a cost of $75,000 and dedicated to the custody of the Westport Library Association by Jesup's wife, following the wishes of her husband who died four months earlier. In June 1984, plans were announced to build a new library on a site adjacent to Jesup Green on the Saugatuck River. Considerable discussion took place about how to raise the money for the new library and the proposed site, a former landfill. After a referendum was approved, the new library was built for $4.6 million and opened on Labor Day of 1986. As popularity of the library increased, another renovation and expansion was completed in 1998. The improvements included a project called the "River of Names," a wall of small handmade tiles, paid for individually by donors, depicting local history. By the year 2000, the library was the second busiest in the state in terms of circulation per capita, averaging 1,200 visitors a day. Embracing a trend in expanding the role of libraries, the library opened a makerspace in 2012, a structure with 3D printers and other tools for people to create inventions and learn about new technology. The name of the library was changed to The Westport Library. In 2013, the library received a $246,545 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the enhancement of the makerspace. In 2014, the library became the first library in the nation to use humanoid robots for the purpose of teaching computer programming. In September 2017, ground was broken on a renovation project for the library, dubbed the "Transformation Project." The renovation lasted two years, and the library was reopened on June 23, 2019. The library houses a recording studio, Verso Studios. The studio's Verso Records label released an album, Verso Records, Volume One, on June 3, 2023, which it claims is "the first vinyl record ever to be recorded, produced and released by a public library". As a "forum for civic engagement and an incubator of new ideas," the Library provides many books and resources geared to fundraising, social entrepreneurship, and non-profit organizations. The Library is a Funding Information Network partner of the Foundation Center, the nation's leading authority on organized philanthropy. A Grants Center section provides additional guides and manuals for becoming effective fundraisers. References
