École américaine pour les sourds

L'École américaine pour les sourds (American School for the Deaf abrégée en ASD) est la plus ancienne école pour les sourds des États-Unis. Elle a été fondée le 15 avril 1817 à Hartford, Connecticut par Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet et Laurent Clerc. Histoire Le premier nom de cette école était The Connecticut Asylum (at Hartford) for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons (traduit en français : L'asile du Connecticut (à Hartford) pour l'éducation et l'instruction des personnes sourdes-muettes). Le jour d'ouverture, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet et Laurent Clerc accueillent sept premiers sourds: Alice Cogswell, George Loring, Wilson Whiton, Abigail Dillingham, Otis Waters, John Brewster, et Nancy Orr. Sophia Fowler y étudie en 1817. Durant l'hiver 1818-1819, l'école devient la première école de l'enseignement primaire et secondaire à recevoir une aide du gouvernement fédéral, qui débourse 300.000 dollars. Laurent Clerc est le premier professeur sourd à l'école jusqu'en 1858 et Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet occupe les fonctions de directeur jusqu'en 1830 avant de démissionner[réf. souhaitée]. National Theatre of the Deaf En 2004, le Théâtre National des Sourds (ATN) a déménagé son siège social sur le campus de l'école américaine pour les sourds.

Abington Congregational Church

The Abington Congregational Church is a historic church on Connecticut Route 97 in the Abington village of Pomfret, Connecticut. It was built in 1751 and restyled in the 1830s, and it is the oldest ecclesiastical building in the State of Connecticut that has been continuously used for religious purposes. It was included on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Description The Abington Congregational Church is located in the rural village of Abington, on the east side of Route 97, south of its junction with United States Route 44. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is three bays wide, the bays articulated by Doric pilasters, and topped by a pedimented gable that is flushboarded, with a round window at the center. A three-stage square tower rises above the entrance. History The church was built in 1751 for a congregation established in 1749 after the main Pomfret congregation grew too large. It is one of the few surviving examples of the peg and beam construction typical of 18th century New England. The building was significantly enlarged and altered in the 1830s, giving it its present Greek Revival styling; this work was one by Edwin Fitch of Mansfield. A parsonage for the church was built in 1851, and an adjacent parish hall was built in 1951. Today the church is the spiritual home to a small congregation, and is a member of the United Church of Christ. Its website includes records of interest to genealogists and historians. The Old Cemetery of the Abington Church was used from 1760 to 1900, and includes gravestones of 82 American Revolutionary War soldiers. The New Cemetery includes many Civil War gravemarkers, and is still in use today. Lists from both cemeteries are included on the church's website, as well as a record of all Civil War veterans and units from Pomfret, Connecticut. The current pastor is the Reverend Bruce A. Hedman, Ph.D., who graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary and was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in 1980. He served churches in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in Union, Connecticut and Hampton, Connecticut, before coming to Abington in 1988.

Above All State Park

Above All State Park ist ein State Park auf dem Gebiet von Warren im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut. Der Park wurde 1927 gegründet und zu militärischen Zwecken genutzt. Die Militärische Einrichtung lief von 1957 bis 1968 unter der Bezeichnung New Preston Gap-Filler RADAR Annex P-50A/Z-50A. später wurde das Gebiet wieder zum State Park umgewandelt, auch wenn die Überbleibsel der Verteidigungsanlagen des Kalten Krieges noch immer zu sehen sind. Es gibt keine Markierungen, Toiletten oder andere Einrichtungen im State Park außer einigen informellen Wegen auf der Höhe des Parks, die vom Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection unterhalten werden. Geschichte Laut dem Schriftsteller Joseph Leary lässt sich der Name „Above all“ auf die Zeit zurück führen, in der die Familie Stone das Land bebaute. Sie behaupteten, auf 448 m über dem Meer die höchste Farm in ganz Connecticut zu unterhalten. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde das Gebiet für die Errichtung eines „Above-All Mountain House“, eines Freizeitparks in Betracht gezogen, was jedoch nie zur Ausführung kam. Der Name des State Parks ist somit weder in Bezug auf Größe, Höhe oder Aussicht bedeutend, kein Vergleich also mit dem Lake Waramaug State Park in Bezug auf die Größe, den Aussichten im Mount Tom State Park und der Höhe in Dennis Hill State Park. Nach dem Reiseführer Connecticut; a Guide to Its Roads, Lore, and People rührt der Name des Parks von seiner "Ende der Welt"-isolierten Lage. Der Park wurde 1927 gegründet als die Erben von Seymour Strong dem Staat drei Acre Land schenkten. Der State of Connecticut entschloss sich, weitere 28 Acres zusätzlich von Stanley estate zuzukaufen. Above All State Park wurde der 36. State Park. Von Juni 1957 bis Juni 1968 wurde auf dem Gelände der New Preston Gap-Filler RADAR Annex P-50A/Z-50A errichtet und der Park damit zum Sperrgebiet. 1968 wurde ein Erdweg und eine Ziegelhütte angelegt. Hinter dem „Bunker“ war der Abschußplatz für Nike-Raketen, die jeweils mit einem 2 bis 40 kilotonnen nuklearen Sprengkopf ausgestattet waren. An dem Platz befand sich auch das Steuerungszentrum. Darüber hinaus war die Einrichtung ein unbemannter Überwachungsradar zur „Lückenfüllung“ (im Radarschild) um die Überwachung in niedrigen Höhen zu gewährleisten. Dazu gab es ein Radargerät, einen Turm und einen Diesel-Generator. Obwohl der Park nach seiner Dekommissionierung wieder in Karten auftaucht, bleibt er doch eine Art geheimer Ort. 1981 wurde eine Studie durchgeführt durch die Energiegesellschaft Northeast Utilities ob sich die Stelle als Windpark nutzen ließe. Ein Anemometer und eine Windfahne wurden auf dem 20 m hohen Turm angebracht. Status Der Above All State Park wird verwaltet vom Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, ist jedoch unmarkiert und nicht erschlossen. Zum Park führt die Connecticut Route 341. Siehe auch State Parks in Connecticut Weblinks Above All State Park Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Einzelnachweise
Above All State Park

Above All State Park is an undeveloped public recreation area located in the town of Warren, Connecticut. Remnants of a Cold War-era military radar installation (pictured at right) may be seen. The only park amenities are informal trails not maintained by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. History Because of its reputation as one of the best lookouts in Litchfield County, the Above All peak was the site of a wooden observation tower in the years before the Civil War. A mountain-top summer resort planned in the 1880s, that would have featured a 125-foot (38 m) observation tower for the viewing of far distant sights, never materialized. The park originated in 1927 when the heirs of Seymour Strong gave three acres of land to the state. The state's purchase of 28 adjoining acres from the Stanley estate followed in December 1927. In 1934, the State Register and Manual identified Above All as Connecticut's 36th state park. From June 1957 to June 1968, the state park became a Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) Air Defense Network radar site. The military installation was called the New Preston Gap-Filler RADAR Annex P-50A /Z-50A. The site was an unmanned gap-filler "providing low altitude coverage" that "consisted of the radar and tower along with the building which contained the radar equipment and a diesel generator." In 1968, a dirt road and cinder block building were added to the top of the hill as part of an upgrade to the site. In 1981, the park was the subject of a study by Northeast Utilities as a possible wind power site. An anemometer and wind vane were placed atop a 65-foot (20 m) tower to record wind data. Park name According to the WPA writers who created Connecticut: A Guide to Its Roads, Lore, and People in the 1930s, the park's name came from its "top of the world" isolation. In his book on Connecticut's state parks, Joseph Leary traces the name to the land's use by the Stone family, who claimed it was the highest working farm by elevation in all of Connecticut. Status Accessing the park off Connecticut Route 341 requires passing a barred gate. Informal trails near the top of the park are not maintained or marked and there are no facilities. Structures on the site include the radar equipment building, footings for the radar tower, and supports for the generator's fuel tank. Photos displayed on the Radome website show the condition of the site in 2001 and 2006 with the equipment building in "excellent condition," and the radar tower and chain-link fencing missing. The site has been vandalized by graffiti.

Academy School, Glastonbury

Academy School is a former school complex located in Glastonbury, Connecticut, United States. It was discontinued for school use in 2001 with the opening of the Smith Middle School and renovation of the Gideon Welles School. From 1974 to 2001, Academy School was the town's sixth-grade school, although it housed some fifth-grade students as well for many years. Among many other uses, academy also served as the Glastonbury High School from 1923 to 1953. Buildings A wing, constructed in 1923 (and added onto in 1926), has been used as the Glastonbury Town Hall since 1983. This building served as the town's high school until the current high school was built in 1953. According to the plaque in the lobby, the building served as an elementary school from 1952 to 1962, a junior high school from 1962 to 1967, and an elementary school after 1967. B wing, constructed in 1915, is also known as the Williams Memorial Building. For many years, it was used as a recreation center and as a gymnasium facility. More recently, the upper level housed the school library and the lower level served as the art room. C wing, constructed in 1961, was built to house junior high students, and later used for sixth grade students. The cafeteria and gymnasium are part of this building. This wing connects to both B wing and D wing. The former D wing, constructed in 1930, was built as an elementary school and has been used for many purposes, most recently for sixth grade students. Current use The Glastonbury Town Hall has been housed in the A wing since 1983. Other parts of the building are used for the teen center, gymnastics program, community use, and storage. Recently, the town of Glastonbury's IT office and Facilities office, as well as the Parks and Recreation administration, moved into parts of C wing. Future plans The town has been working to convert Academy into a municipal center. Remaining plans would move the council chambers into the vacant upper level of B wing. Controversy Academy's D wing was recently demolished. Previously, the Historic District Commission of the town approved an application by the town to demolish D wing in order to build a new facility for the board of education on the site. However, plans for a new facility have been put on hold by the Town Council. A $9.5 million referendum to renovated and expand D wing to house the Board of Education offices was defeated on November 4, 2008, by a vote of 8,581-9,868. Glastonbury Free Academy Prior to the construction of the A wing in 1923, the Glastonbury High School was housed in the former Glastonbury Free Academy building, which was constructed in 1870 and demolished in 1960, to make room for the new C wing. The Glastonbury Free Academy was the predecessor to Glastonbury High School. References 1995 Glastonbury Plan of Development, Table 2 (Educational Facilities) Hedden, Daniel T.

Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Lauralton Hall

The Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Lauralton Hall, established in 1905 by the Sisters of Mercy, is an independent, Catholic, all-girls high school at 200 High Street in Milford, Connecticut, United States. It is part of the Archdiocese of Hartford. It is the oldest Catholic college-preparatory school for girls in Connecticut. In August 2011, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the Connecticut Historic Preservation Council. The school's 25-acre campus is located a block from the Metro-North Railroad's Milford station. Students attend Lauralton Hall from nearly 40 cities and towns. Recent accomplishments Lauralton Hall's engineering team consisting of 43 students in grades 9-12 recently participated in its sixth Sikorsky STEM Challenge and won. This year, students were asked to design a lightweight, semi-autonomous cargo transport system with color recognition abilities that would assimilate into the Sikorsky Skyhawk model. The system when activated will drive the Skyhawk rig to the identified colored building top, engage the hoist motor to retrieve the payload with the magnetic hook, and then return the Skyhawk rig to the starting location. The Lauralton Hall design utilized ergonomic buttons for activation and a 3-pulley system to reduce the strain on the hoist motor. Using an Arduino Uno, they programmed a color sensor to detect the correct rooftops and programmed the movements of the hoist and Skyhawk motors. Much of the mechanical design was created on CAD software and 3D printed at Lauralton Hall; this provided the foundational anchoring of the sensor, hardware, and electrical components of the system. The Lauralton Hall Golf team won the 2023 SCC Girls Golf Championship at Blackhawk Country Club on Thursday, June 1 with a score of 388. Isabella Thomas '23 was also named to the SCC All-Conference team for girls' golf. Milford United Percussion is a competitive percussion ensemble located at Lauralton Hall under the direction of Mr. Mark Allen, cordially dubbed Mallen by his students. It is composed of current and former students from many Milford high schools and surrounding towns and has been named MAC Festival Class A Champions in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2023, and in 2024 champions of class Independent A. This group is consistently receiving Platinum ratings at the annual Great East Music Festival. The show this year included music from Betelgeuse the movie.

Academy of the Holy Family

The Academy of the Holy Family (AHF) is private Catholic all-girls college preparatory school in Baltic, Connecticut. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Norwich. History The Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of Mercy was founded as a parochial community by Msgr Johannes Zwijsen on November 23, 1832, at Tilburg in the Netherlands. It was his intention to "simply to “establish a school where poor children could be taught reading, writing, sewing, and knitting”. The community soon spread beyond the parish, and in 1874 was invited to open a school in the United States. When the Sisters arrived they first established a grade school and a girls’ high school for day and resident students in the small mill town of Sprague, Connecticut, where the motherhouse is located. In 1970, the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, split off as a separate community and continue to operate HFA. The Academy is approved by the State of Connecticut and is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and colleges. It is owned and operated by the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church. Notes and references External links Official website
Spencer House (Hartford, Connecticut)

The Spencer House is a historic house at 1039 Asylum Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1929 for a bank chairman, it is one of the last grand houses to be built in the city's Asylum Hill area, and is a good example of Georgian Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The Spencer House is located West of Downtown Hartford in the city's Asylum Hill neighborhood, on the South Side of Asylum Avenue at its junction with Gillett Street. It is a 2+1⁄2-story masonry structure, built out of red brick with wooden trim. It is covered by a side gable roof pierced by three gabled dormers finished in wooden shingles. The main facade is five bays wide, with a recessed center entrance fronted by a gabled portico supported by round columns. An ell extends to the rear of the main block. The interior follows a center hall plan, with what was historically the main parlor on the left, and the library and dining room on the right, with service facilities in the ell. The house was built in 1929 for Arthur Spencer Jr., chairman of the board of the Hartford National Bank and Trust Company. It was designed by Ebbets & Frid, and marked the end of Asylum Hill's period as the city's fashionable residential area. The neighborhood entered a decline with the advent of the Great Depression, and has lost many houses to subsequent commercial development. This house was adapted for use as a medical office in 1959, and as a radio station studio facility in the 1970s.

Townsend G. Treadway House

The Townsend G. Treadway House is a historic house at 100 Oakland Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1915, it is one of the city's largest and finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture, designed by a major New York architectural firm. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Description and history The Townsend G. Treadway House is located in Bristol's Federal Hill neighborhood, long one of its most affluent residential areas. It stands at the southeast corner of Oakland Street and Grove Street, just south of the Federal Hill Historic District. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick building, with a gambrel roof and a roughly L-shaped plan. The formal main facade faces west to Oakland Street, and is five bays wide, with a recessed center entrance. The entry recess is arched, and is framed by fluted wooden Corinthian pilasters and a fully pedimented gable. The interior of the recess is finished in wooden paneling, and there is a semi-oval transom above the door. A two-story service ell extends to the rear, its northern facade sheltered by a two-story porch with four Tuscan columns and a modillioned cornice. Both street-facing facades have gabled dormers with round-arch windows. The interior is finished with lavish carved woodwork and other original period features. The house was built in 1915 for Townsend G. Treadway, a descendant of clockmaker Eli Terry and a member of one of the city's most influential industrial families. The house was designed by the New York firm Murphy & Dana, whose commissions include a number of other high-profile designs in northwestern Connecticut. Treadway remained in the house until his death in 1972, after which it was sold out of the family. It was enlarged in 1936, to a design by Dana, in which the original single-story kitchen wing was raised to two stories, and the portico added.
