Berkeley College (Yale)

Berkeley College, un des colleges résidentiels de l'Université Yale, porte le nom du philosophe irlandais George Berkeley (1685-1753). Situé entre la Bibliothèque Beinecke et le Vieux Campus, le collège est vraiment au cœur de l'université. Les couleurs de Berkeley College sont rouge et blanc, et les mascottes sont le Poulet du Tonnerre et l'Évêque. Parmi ses étudiants les plus illustres, on citera le journaliste Fareed Zakaria et l'actrice Jordana Brewster. Avant son transfert à l'Université du Wyoming, le 46e vice-président Dick Cheney était aussi un « Berkeleyite ». Actuellement, le doctorant de Berkeley College le plus connu est James Franco. Berkeley a aussi d'illustres étudiants de fiction ; dans la série télévisée américaine Gilmore Girls, Logan Huntzberger, le petit-ami de Rory Gilmore, est étudiant à Berkeley. Aujourd'hui, la doyenne de Berkeley College est l'historienne d'art Mia Genoni, et le maître est le psychologue Marvin Chun. Environ 400 étudiants de deuxième cycle habitent le collège. Les bâtiments L'architecte James Gamble Rogers créa Berkeley College en style néogothique. C'est le seul collège résidentiel à Yale avec deux cours. Les cours donnent sur Cross Campus, et on peut passer entre les deux par un tunnel souterrain. Dans la Résidence du Sud on trouve l'appartement du doyen. la salle commune, aux ongulés montés. la grande salle des repas, avec petit balcon. la Chambre Suisse, une réplique d'une salle du chalet suisse, où le doyen ou le maître peut dîner avec ses invités. la Bibliothèque Lazarus, la Salle de la Lecture, et une salle des ordinateurs. le café des étudiants, avec tables de billard et de ping-pong. un gymnase et une demi-court de basket-ball. l'entrée du tunnel souterrain, un peu délabré, avec des peintures murales incomplètes et beaucoup de graffiti des étudiants. Dans la Résidence du Nord on trouve l'autre entrée du tunnel. la maison du maître. les salles de musique, de photographie, et de travail du bois. la Salle Mendenhall, une autre salle commune. Les étudiants habitent neuf entrées en quatre étages des suites. Chaque suite a une salle commune et quelques chambres à coucher. Les suites voisines de palier partagent une salle de bains. La vie des étudiants Les étudiants du première année habitent le Vieux Campus, traditionnellement à Vanderbilt Hall, mais depuis l'automne de 2011 à L-Dub. Pour les deuxième, troisième, et quatrième années, ils habitent Berkeley College. Chaque hiver, les Berkeleyites se rassemblent sur Cross Campus pour se battre avec les boules de neige, la Résidence du Nord contre la Résidence du Sud. Chaque printemps, les étudiants jouent aux « Assassins », un jeu de chat qui dure quelques semaines. En avril, on a le « Bishop Bash » (la Fête de l'Évêque) où il y a des compétitions sportives entre les quatre niveaux et un grand dîner à la salle de repas.

Беркли-колледж (Йельский университет)

Беркли-колледж (англ. Berkeley College) — один из 14-ти колледжей-общежитий Йельского университета (США). История Колледж был основан в 1934 году и назван в честь англо-ирландского философа, священнослужителя англиканской церкви Ирландии, епископа Клойна Джорджа Беркли, который в 18 веке пожертвовал Йельскому университету земли и книги. В 1998 году для беспрепятственной видимости Мемориальной библиотеки Стерлинга с улицы (Колледж-стрит) колледж подвергся реконструкции, в результате чего его территория была сокращена и разделена на две части.

Sun Terrace

Sun Terrace, also known as the Field House, is a historic house on Stub Hollow Road in New Hartford, Connecticut. Commissioned in 1929 for a scion of the Vanderbilt family and completed in 1932, it is the first successful residential commission of William Lescaze, and the first documented example in the United States of an International Style country house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history Sun Terrace is located in an isolated rural setting near the geographic center of New Hartford. It is set on a wooded ridge southwest of the town center, its east flank traversed by Stub Hollow Road. The house is set at the crest of the ridge, with expansive views to the west and southwest. It is a 1+1⁄2-story structure, with a frame of steel finished with cement stucco. It is an asymmetrical but roughly rectangular mass, with a flat roof, cantilevered decks, and a prominent curved wall section. It has grouped windows, including at some of its corners, and is generally devoid of exterior ornamentation. A spiral staircase provides access between the rooftop terrace and lower outside spaces. Interior features include a curved soapstone fireplace, and extensive use of fluorescent lighting, a technology in its infancy at the time of the house's construction. The house was commissioned from William Lescaze, a Swiss architect, in 1929 by Frederick Vanderbilt Field, a scion of the Vanderbilt family railroad fortune who was disinherited for his political views. Lescaze was at the time also designing the PSFS Building, the nation's first International style skyscraper. When completed, this house was the first country house of that style, being preceded in residential architecture only by the Lovell House of Richard Neutra.

Jaderná elektrárna Millstone

Jaderná elektrárna Millstone (anglicky Millstone Nuclear Power Plant) je provozní jadernou elektrárnou ve Spojených státech. Leží poblíž města Waterfort v New London County ve státě Connecticut a rozkládá se na pozemku o velikosti zhruba 2 kilometrů čtverečních. Elektrárnu vlastní a provozuje společnost Dominion Energy. Reaktory elektrárny dodaly a vybudovaly americké společnosti General Electric, Combustion Engineering a Westinghouse. Zařízení vyrábí dostatek elektřiny pro zhruba dva miliony domácností a zaměstnává na 3900 lidí. Historie a technické informace Reaktory V elektrárně byly postaveny celkem tři jaderné reaktory, každý s jinými provozními vlastnostmi a rozdílných koncepcí. Blok 1 První blok začal být budován dne 1. května 1966. Jednalo se o varný reaktor typu BWR-3 od General Electric o hrubém výkonu 684 MW a čistém výkonu po odečtení vlastních potřeb bloku 641 MW. Do sítě byl poprvé připojen 29. listopadu 1970 a komerční provoz byl zahájen 1. března 1971. Plného výkonu reaktor dosáhl již 6. ledna 1971. V důsledku četných závad a příliš nákladného provozu byl reaktor navždy vyřazen z provozu dne 21. července 1998. V prosinci 1977 došlo v bloku ke dvěma výbuchům vodíku. Nedošlo k žádným úmrtím, přesto byl jeden pracovník hospitalizován. Blok 2 Výstavba druhého bloku byla zahájena 1. listopadu 1969. Jedná se o tlakovodní dvousmyčkový reaktor od Combustion Engineering. Jeho hrubý výkon činí 918 MW a čistý výkon je 869 MW. Připojení k síti proběhlo dne 9. listopadu 1975 a poté dne 26. prosince 1975 již následoval komerční provoz. Plného výkonu bylo dosaženo 20. března 1976. V říjnu 1990 způsobila chyba operátora během rutinního testu neplánované odstavení bloku. Blok má od NRC udělenou provozní licenci do 31. července 2035. Blok 3 Třetí blok zahájil výstavbu dne 9. srpna 1974. Jde o tlakovodní čtyřsmyčkový reaktor M412 od firmy Westinghouse. Hrubý výkon činí 1280 MW a čistý výkon bez vlastních potřeb bloku je 1210 MW. Síťové přifázování poprvé proběhlo 12. února 1986 a komerční provoz následoval 23. dubna 1986. Blok má od NRC udělenou provozní licenci do 25. listopadu 2045. Okolní obyvatelstvo NRC definuje dvě zóny havarijního plánování kolem jaderných elektráren. První o poloměru 16 kilometrů, která se týká především vystavení radioaktivní kontaminace vzduchu a poté druhou o poloměru 80 kilometrů, jež se zabývá kontaminací potravin a vody. Podle studie NRC zveřejněné v srpnu 2010 byl odhad každoročního rizika zemětřesení dostatečně silného na to, aby způsobilo poškození aktivní zóny reaktoru 1 ku 90 909 pro reaktor 2 a 1 ku 66 667 pro reaktor 3.

Norfolk Country Club

The Norfolk Country Club is a private country club at 50 Golf Drive in Norfolk, Connecticut. Founded in the 1910s, it features a nine-hole golf course designed by A.W. Tillinghast, and a clubhouse designed by Alfredo S.G. Taylor that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Activities at the club include dining and social events, golf, and tennis. Setting The Norfolk Country Club is located southwest of the village center of Norfolk, a summer resort community in the northwestern hills of Connecticut. The club is set on the west side of Golf Drive, on a roughly L-shaped parcel of 36 acres (15 ha). The clubhouse is located adjacent to Golf Drive, as are the tennis courts, with the golf course occupying most of its property. The course was designed by A.W. Tillinghast and went into service in 1928. Clubhouse The clubhouse is a U-shaped wood frame structure with Georgian Revival design. The open mouth of the U faces south toward the main parking area, and its western facade looks over the golf course, with a band of windows providing a view. Two brick chimneys rise near the bends in the U. Small gabled dormers adorn the roof faces on the inside of the U. The main entrance is in the center of the U, sheltered by a projecting gabled portico, which is supported by round columns and has a segmented arch at its center. The ends of the U legs have gabled ends with Palladian windows. The clubhouse was built in 1915-17 to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, a New York City architect who summered in Norfolk, and is credited with more than thirty commissions in the community.

Terryville Waterwheel

The Terryville Waterwheel is a historic industrial water wheel at the Pequabuck River and Main Street in the Terryville section of Plymouth, Connecticut. Probably built in 1851 for a local clockmaker, it is one of three surviving 19th-century water wheels in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in 2002. Description and history The Terryville Waterwheel is located in Terryville, a historic 19th-century manufacturing district of eastern Plymouth, and now the town's main commercial center. It is located on the north side of Main Street (United States Route 6) on a tributary of the Pequabuck River. The wheel is built out of wood and iron, and is mounted in its original wheel well formed out of rubblestone capped in concrete. It is 22 feet (6.7 m) in diameter and 7 feet (2.1 m) wide, and is sheltered by a form-fit shelter erected in 1951. Most of the wheel's parts are pressure-treated wood, replacing original materials in a 1990-91 restoration. The axle of the wheel is cast iron, with a cast iron hub providing attachment mortises for the wheel's arms. The arms are fastened to the hub with metal bolts, and are cross braced with iron tie rods. The wheel was traditionally thought to date to the construction of Eli Terry's clock factory, which was built on this site in 1824. However, that factory was destroyed by fire in 1851, and was rebuilt by its then-owner, the Lewis Lock Company. It is believed that the present wheel fittings date to that period. The wheel was powered by water delivered from a dam upriver (no longer extant) via a wooden head race (also not extant, although it survived until 1951). This wheel provided power to lockmaking concerns until about 1940, when the factory was demolished. Of Connecticut's three surviving 19th-century water wheels it is the best preserved.

Winchester Soldiers' Monument

The Winchester Soldiers' Monument is a historic war memorial located in a park-like setting at the end of Crown Street in the Winsted area of Winchester, Connecticut. Built in 1889–90, it commemorates the community's participants in the American Civil War. It is one of Connecticut's most architecturally elaborate memorials to that conflict. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Description and history The Winchester Soldiers' Monument is located in a residential area north of the commercial Main Street area of Winsted, at the southern end of Crown Street. The park in which it is set is atop a circular hill, which is grassed down to the park drive, paths and a few trees dotting its interior. A low stone retaining wall lines the parking area on Crown Street. A square entrance arch with crenellated top provides access to one of the paths leading to the main monument. The main structure is a three-level tower built of ashlar granite from a local quarry, and is square in footprint. Its walls slope inward in the lower stage to eventually straighten and are crowned by crenellations. At one corner a circular tourelle projects from the third level, topped by a bronze figure of a soldier holding colors. There is a single entrance on one face, with single windows on each of the other first-floor facades, and two windows on each of the upper levels. The total height of the tower is 44 feet (13 m). The memorial was completed in 1890 to a design by Robert Hill of Waterbury; the bronze figure was designed by George Bissell. The interior was originally to have an iron staircase installed, but this never occurred due a disagreement with the contractor, and a wooden staircase (intended to be temporary) was installed instead. Funds for the memorial's construction were raised by the local chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic. In 1977–78, a water fountain was installed near the tower, designed by Andrew Coppola, a sculptor from Hartford.

Monumento a los soldados de Winchester

El Monumento a los soldados de Winchester es un monumento de guerra histórico ubicado en un entorno similar a un parque al final de la calle Crown en el área de Winsted del pueblo de Winchester, en el estado de Connecticut (Estados Unidos). Construido en 1889-1890, conmemora a los participantes de la comunidad en la guerra de Secesión. Es uno de los monumentos conmemorativos de ese conflicto más elaborados arquitectónicamente de Connecticut. Fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1984. Descripción e historia El monumento está ubicado en un área residencial al norte del área comercial de la calle Main de Winsted, en el extremo sur de la calle Crown. El parque en el que se encuentra se encuentra en la cima de una colina circular, que tiene césped hasta el camino del parque, senderos y algunos árboles. Un muro de contención de piedra bajo bordea el área de estacionamiento en la calle Crown. Un arco de entrada cuadrado con remate almenado da acceso a uno de los caminos que conducen al monumento principal.​ La estructura principal es una torre de tres niveles construida con sillares de granito de una cantera local y tiene una planta cuadrada. Sus muros se inclinan hacia el interior en el nivel inferior para finalmente enderezarse y están coronados por almenas. En una esquina, una torre circular se proyecta desde el tercer nivel, rematado por una figura de bronce de un soldado. Tiene una sola entrada por una cara, con una ventana en cada una de las fachadas del primer piso y dos en cada uno de los niveles superiores. La altura total de la torre es de 13,4 m.​ El monumento se completó en 1890 con un diseño de Robert Hill de Waterbury; la figura de bronce fue diseñada por George Bissell. Originalmente, en el interior se iba a instalar una escalera de hierro, pero esto nunca ocurrió debido a un desacuerdo con el contratista, y en su lugar se instaló una escalera de madera (con la intención de ser temporal). Los fondos para la construcción del monumento fueron recaudados por el capítulo local del Gran Ejército de la República. En 1977–78, se instaló una fuente de agua cerca de la torre, diseñada por Andrew Coppola, un escultor de Hartford.​ Véase también Listados del Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en el condado de Litchfield, Connecticut Referencias
John Fitch School

The John Fitch School is a historic former school building at 156 Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut, United States. Built in 1929 and twice enlarged, it is a prominent local example of the Beaux Arts style, and was the town's first purpose-built high school. Since 1988, it has served as Fitch Court, a senior housing complex managed by the local housing authority. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The former John Fitch School stands west of Windsor's village center, on the north side of Bloomfield Avenue (Connecticut Route 305), between Mack Street and Hayden Avenue. It is a complex of three constructions, consisting of the original main block and two large ells. All are single-story or 1-1/2 story masonry structures, built out of buff brick with stone trim. The main block was originally covered by a distinctive green tile roof; this has been replaced by asphalt architectural shingles. At its center is an octagonal cupola with green dome. The main entrance is set in a recess framed by bracketed hood and topped by a Flemish gable, in which a bas-relief of the school's namesake is set in a medallion. John Fitch was a local militia member who died in King Philip's War. The school was built in 1921-22 to a design by William Henry McClean, an architect from Boston, Massachusetts. The school was an unusual departure from Connecticut schools of the period, which were typically Colonial Revival in style and built out of red brick. Its two enlargements, in 1929 and 1934, added classroom capacity. The school was readapted as a senior housing facility in 1988. The John Fitch school housed the Windsor Board of Education and rare programs that emerged from the leadership of Paul Sorbo Superintendent of Schools for Windsor. The rare art program in Windsor Schools was created by Menthe Wells who is a Museum Exhibiting Artist and who was on staff in the central office in the Windsor Board of Education for years in the 1960s launching the Art Program. She was on staff of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art where she created other public art projects. In Windsor, her office was located in the historic John Fitch School Building. She created the 40 foot public art Mural, City of the Future in the adjoining building on the Fitch site which was the Sidney Hayden Building. The 40 Foot Mural named City of the Future was a mosaic mural of thousands of pieces of handmade mosaics. The public art mural, paid for by Windsor Public Schools was housed in the John Fitch Auditorium for decades. Photos of The City of the Future were in the Hartford newspapers. Menthe organized participation of over 100 to participate in the individual pieces of mosaic that were used in the creation. Windsor was a leader in the development of art in the era. Paul Sorbo was the Superintendent of Schools and he personally supported the programs that Menthe launched for the school system.

Apartment at 49–51 Spring Street

49–51 Spring Street in Hartford, Connecticut is a significant local example of Richardsonian Romanesque residential architecture. It was built about 1890 for the locally prominent Allyn family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The apartment building at 49–51 Spring Street is one of two residential apartment blocks standing on the west side of Spring Street between Garden and Myrtle Streets. The setting is now one of urban renewal, the buildings surrounded by parking lots on three sides, and I-84 passing not far to the East, separating the buildings from Downtown Hartford. This building is three stories in height, built out of brick with brownstone trim. It is five bays wide, with the entrance at the center, recessed under a Syrian arch. The outer bays and center bay are topped visually by large round-arch panels, with polygonal bay windows on the first and second floors of the outer bays, and on the second floor above the entrance in the center. The building's cornice has brick corbelling, with built-out bracket-like brickwork articulating the arched panels. The building was constructed about 1890, on land belonging to Robert Allyn, a local real estate developer whose own house stood on the same lot to the north. Of the two six-unit apartment blocks built by Allyn (the other is at 39-41 Spring Street, built about five years earlier), it is the more architecturally interesting, probably drawing inspiration from the 1875–76 Cheney Building in Downtown Hartford, which is an H. H. Richardson design. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Hartford, Connecticut References
