Художня галерея Єльського університету

Художня галерея Єльського університету (англ. Yale University Art Gallery, сокр. YUAG) — художній музей на території кампусу Єльського університету у Нью-Хейвені, штат Коннектикут. Заснований у 1832 році, в той час як, патріотично-налаштований художник Джон Трамбул пожертвував Єльському коледжу більше 100 картин за часів американської революції і спроектував будівлю картинної галереї. Першу будівлю було знесено у 1901 році. Головне приміщення галереї було побудовано у 1953 році; це одна із перших робіт архітектора Луїса Кана, який викладав літературу в Єльському університеті. У 2000-му музейний комплекс закрили на реконструкцію за проектом компанії Polshek Partnership Architects. Галерея була відкрита знову 12 грудня 2012 року після 14-ти років реконструкції і розширення території. Колекція музею, яка поповнювалася за рахунок пожертв заможних випускників університету, наразі нараховує більше 185000 об'єктів, розпочинаючи з найдавніших часів, і включаючи такі загальновідомі шедеври, як «Нічне Кафе» Ван Гога.

Derby–Shelton station

Derby–Shelton station (signed as Derby/Shelton) is a commuter rail station on the Waterbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad system. Located in Derby, Connecticut, it also serves adjacent Shelton. The station has one three-car-long low-level side platform to the west of the single track. The station is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, but Metro-North is responsible for some maintenance. The 75-space parking lot is managed by the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments. Rail service on the line is replaced by buses from July 20, 2026, to May 31, 2027, during construction that includes a reconstruction of the station with an accessible platform. History The Naugatuck Railroad opened in May 1849 with its Derby station on the east side of the Naugatuck River. The New Haven and Derby Railroad (NH&D) opened in 1871 with its Birmingham station on the west side of the river. The two railroads were consolidated under the New York, New Haven and Hartford later in the century. In 1903, the New Haven built a new double-track routing on the west side of the river, partially using the NH&D alignment, for use by both lines. The Naugatuck line was reduced to an industrial track between East Derby (formerly Derby) and Ansonia. The railroad built new brick stations at Ansonia (no longer extant) and Derby. The latter station was renamed Derby–Shelton in 1925 when passenger service ended on the ex-Housatonic Railroad line through Shelton. Service passed to Penn Central in 1969, Conrail in 1976, and finally Metro-North in 1983. The station building was repurposed for commercial use, but the last tenant left in 2015. Reconstruction In November 2021, Governor Ned Lamont indicated plans to reconstruct the five non-accessible Waterbury Branch stations, including Derby–Shelton. That month, the state received $12.6 million in federal funds to reconstruct the station for accessibility. The state approved $12 million in matching funds in December 2021. By late 2024, construction was to take place from 2025 to 2027 at a cost of $32 million. Construction began in May 2026; the new platform is expected to be open in November 2027, with the $39.8 million project fully complete in May 2028. The platform will be 350 feet (110 m) long with a canopy over its full length. The interior of the station building will be renovated for use as a passenger waiting area and possible retail space. Two bus bays for CTtransit New Haven and Greater Bridgeport Transit buses will be added. Buses will replace rail service from July 20, 2026, to May 31, 2027, to allow construction at Derby–Shelton and other stations to take place.

Hearthstone Castle

Hearthstone Castle, zunächst bekannt als „The Sanford Castle“, ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude in Danbury, Connecticut. Das Bauwerk stammt aus den Jahren 1895–1899 und wurde am 31. Dezember 1987 ins National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Es war zeitweilig auch als Parks’ Castle und einfach The Castle bekannt. Der Gebäudekomplex steht heute im Eigentum der Stadt Danbury im Tarrywile Park. Hearthstone Castle ist derzeit nicht öffentlich zugänglich. Hearthstone Castle wurde von E. Starr Sanford, dem Erfinder einer frühen Filmkamera, errichtet, aber schon 1902 an den New Yorker Industriellen Victor Buck verkauft. Nach weiteren Besitzerwechseln gelangte das Anwesen 1918 ins Eigentum von Irene Parks, der Tochter von Charles Darling Parks. Irene Parks Jennings bewohnte es bis zu ihrem Tod 1982. Ihre Erben Richard und Constance Jennings verkauften es 1987 an die Stadt Danbury. Seither kam es zu gravierenden Verfallserscheinungen, es gibt aber Renovierungspläne. Der Stil des Gebäudes orientiert sich in eklektischer Weise an normannischer und späterer Burgenarchitektur, die Nebengebäude sind im „Schindel-Stil“ (englisch: shingle style) gehalten.

Brewster Homestead

The Brewster Homestead is a historic house at 306 Preston Road (Connecticut Route 164) in Griswold, Connecticut, built about 1740 and one of the oldest buildings in the town. The house was owned by six generations of the Brewster family, and originally was the centerpiece of a farmstead of 250 acres (100 ha). The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 by Ron and Kate Bauer. Description and history The Brewster Homestead is located in western Griswold at the northeast corner of Preston and Brewster Roads. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two small interior chimneys. It is finished in vinyl siding, although its original (c. 1740) clapboards are underneath. A 1+1⁄2-story ell extends to the rear of the house. The main facade is five bays wide, with the main entrance at the center, sheltered by a late 19th-century hip-roofed porch. The interior retains a number of original features, including plaster walls, gunstock posts in the framing, and paneled fireplace surrounds. The basement includes the foundational remains of a large chimney which was removed in the 19th century, at the same time that the original main staircase was replaced. The homestead stands on a remnant of a large property which Mohegan sachem Uncas gave to Jonathan Brewster, son of William Brewster, a founding elder of the Plymouth Colony. Simon Brewster, a descendent of Jonathan's brother Love, developed a 250-acre (100 ha) parcel as a farm beginning in 1740, probably building this house near its center. The house remained in the hands of Brewster's descendants until 1996, when Ron and Kate Bauer bought it and ran a bed and breakfast called Homespun Farm for 15 years. A portion of the original estate is now the site of a golf club across Preston Road, and the house is associated with 137 acres (55 ha), much of it open land.

Garde Arts Center

The Garde Arts Center is a non-profit performing arts center and cinema located at 325 State Street at the corner of Huntington Street in New London, Connecticut. It owns and operates the Garde Theatre, a historic movie palace and current concert venue with approximately 1,500 seats. History The theater was built in 1926, designed by architect Arland W. Johnson as a vaudeville house and movie theater. It has a Moroccan-style interior featuring middle-eastern themed wall murals by Vera Leeper. The Garde Arts Center includes the Garde Office Building, the Oasis Room, a 120-seat music performance space, the Mercer Building where the Center's offices are located, and the Meridian Building, a service facility. All three buildings are located on the site of the mansion of whaling merchant William Williams. The theater was built under the direction of Arthur S. Friend, a New York movie studio attorney who was a partner in Famous Players–Lasky, a movie distribution company that became Paramount Pictures Corporation. The Garde was named after Walter Garde, a Hartford and New London businessman; it opened on September 22, 1926 with the silent film The Marriage Clause starring matinee idols Francis X. Bushman (1883-1966) and Billie Dove (1903-1997). It was hailed by the press as one of the finest theaters in New England. It was a stage for Vaudeville as well as film, as was typical in that time, and variety acts of music, comedy, acrobatics, and magic were interspersed between feature films, comedy shorts, and newsreels. In September 1929, the theater and the four-story Garde office building were purchased by Warner Bros. for $1 million, one of 18 theaters in New England that the studio purchased to introduce their new "talking pictures" technology. The Garde was closed in 1977 under the ownership of RKO-Stanley-Warner and sold to a local business family. It was in danger of being demolished until 1985 when the Garde Arts Center was founded to save and reuse the theatre.
