Engine Company 15 Fire Station

The Engine Company 15 Fire Station is located at 8 Fairfield Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. It was built in 1909, and is one of two surviving firehouses in the city which was built to stable horses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 1989. It presently houses Engine Company 15 and Ladder Company 2 of the Hartford Fire Department. Description and history The Engine Company 15 Fire Station is located in southwestern Hartford, at junction of Fairfield and New Britain Avenues. It is a two-story brick building with Colonial Revival features. It is roughly rectangular in shape, three bays wide, with the leftmost pedestrian entrance bay recessed. The right two bays house equipment, and have rectangular garage door openings. Windows on the second floor are in groups of three, with splayed lintels that have stone keystones. Stone stringcourses run at the top of the first-floor windows and at the bottom of the second-floor windows. A stone panel above the equipment bays is carved with the company identification. The upstairs rooms feature original woodwork, including door and window trim. Wooden doors conceal the slide pole, and the rear of the story contains exposed elements of what originally served as a hay loft. Behind the equipment bays on the ground floor is a kitchen space that is built into what were originally horse stalls. The basement includes an area formerly used for hose drying. Engine Company 15 was organized in 1909, and this was its first station. It was designed by the Hartford firm of Zunner and Sellew.

The site included land for a meeting house, a school, and parade grounds, as well as 1-acre (4,000 m2) for burial, holding 80 lots. A Victorian Gothic entry arch was added in 1885 inscribed with a quote from Revelation 14:13, "They rest from their labors." In April 2006, the cemetery was evaluated for restoration. Including a formal cost study and beautification. Recommendations included protection from intruders and vandals, as well as different fencing to block out the view of adjacent housing.

Fairfield Ludlowe High School

Fairfield Ludlowe High School (FLHS) is a co-educational secondary school located in Fairfield, Connecticut, United States. Before Roger Ludlowe Middle School opened up on campus in 2003, Fairfield Ludlowe High School served as the middle school when the middle school students went to Fairfield Warde High School. FLHS was reopened as a high school in fall 2003 because of overcrowding at Fairfield's one existing high school, now called Fairfield Warde High School. The school was originally opened as "Fairfield High School at the Ludlowe Site," as a satellite campus of Fairfield High School housing 9th and 10th grades. In Fall 2003, The Board of Education decided that it would be called Fairfield High School South, while the existing high school would be called Fairfield High School East. The board, under the direction of president Grace Easterby, claimed that they voted for these names to minimize rivalry between the schools. Several months later, after much persuasion, the board voted to change the name of the two schools to Fairfield Ludlowe and Fairfield Warde, keeping the names from before the 1987 consolidation but also maintaining the reputation of the Fairfield name. Accolades Fairfield Ludlowe High School's drama club was the first educational institution to perform Wilder's The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

Фолкнер (остров)

Фолкнер, также называемый островом Фолкнера (англ. Falkner Island) — остров в проливе Лонг-Айленд в 5 км от побережья Гилфорда, штат Коннектикут, США. По форме напоминает полумесяц, площадь — 1,2 га. Коренные американцы посещали этот остров на протяжении тысяч лет. Его название на языке куиннипиаков — «Массанкумок», что означает «место больших ястребов-рыболовов». В 1641 году Генри Уитфилд и основатели Гилфорда приобрели остров у сахема племени мохеганов Ункаса в рамках сделки по продаже земель к востоку от пролива Ист-Ривер. В 1715 году его приобрела семья Стоун, и он оставался во владении семьи до тех пор, пока в 1801 году не был продан правительству. Маяк на острове Фолкнер был построен в 1802 году по заказу президента Томаса Джефферсона. Этот маяк является вторым старейшим в Коннектикуте и занесен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Маяк был автоматизирован в 1978 году и продолжает функционировать в качестве навигационного средства для близлежащего Берегового канала. Остров является частью Национального заповедника дикой природы имени Стюарта Б. МакКинни и имеет пятую по величине колонию гнездящихся розовых крачек на северо-востоке США. Большая часть суши острова была утрачена в результате эрозии, площадь её сократилась примерно до 11 600 м² от первоначальных 18 000 м². Корпус инженеров армии США укрепил восточную границу, чтобы замедлить прогрессирующее ухудшение обстановки. Происхождение названия Первое записанное название острова Фолкнер было дано коренными американцами. Название острова на языке куиннипиаков было «Массанкумок», что означает «место больших ястребов-рыболовов». Название острова на языке куиннипиаков не относилось к владению, а скорее к использованию или ресурсам острова. Личность первого европейского исследователя неизвестна, но, скорее всего, это был голландский исследователь Адриен Блок, который проплыл через пролив Лонг-Айленд около 1614 года. Правительство Соединённых Штатов приписывает Блоку звание первооткрывателя. Ранние английские поселенцы называли его «Остров Сокола», вероятно, по аналогии с индейским названием. Хеландер пишет, что остров, вероятно, был назван в честь скопы, но английский перевод «Сокол», предполагающий присутствие на острове сапсана, был из «простого невежества». Название острова на голландских картах было «Валькен-Айленд». Позже название изменилось на остров Фолкнера, возможно, из-за семьи Фолкнеров, которая жила на острове в 1700-х годах. Когда остров был передан правительству США в 1801 году, в документе указано название «Фолкнеры». В 1891 году Совет США по географическим названиям изменил и утвердил название англ. Falkner Island (Остров Фолкнер). Однако изменение названия не является общепризнанным и «популярным употреблением», и бригада, которая охраняет маяк острова, использует название англ. Faulkner (Фолкнер); включая публикации. История Остров Фолкнер был местом человеческой деятельности на протяжении тысяч лет. Археологические исследования, проводившиеся на острове в 1997–1998 годах, обнаружили кварцевый наконечник снаряда треугольной формы «сквибнокет», датируемый 1000–3000 годами до н.э. Примечания
Farm River State Park

Farm River State Park ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde East Haven am Long Island Sound. Das unbebaute Gebiet erstreckt sich entlang des Farm River. 1998 wurde es vom Staat Connecticut erworben und zum State Park erklärt, um Grundstücksspekulationen zu unterbinden. Geographie Farm River State Park liegt am westlichen Ufer des Farm River. Das 25 ha (61-acre) große Areal umfasst Marschen, Wattgebiete und einen felsigen Küstenabschnitt, der für verschiedene Vogelarten als Nistplatz und Lebensraum dient. Die einzigartige Zusammensetzung aus tief gelegenen Marschen und Gesteinsformationen teilt den Park in einen oberen und einen unteren Bereich. Geschichte Joseph Leary schreibt, dass der Farm River mit dem Housatonic River um die größte Anzahl von Namen wetteifert. Man kennt wenigstens 15 verschiedene Bezeichnungen. Durch die Jahrhunderte ist es oft schwierig die Namen indianischen und kolonialen Ursprungs zuzuordnen. Unter anderem wurde er als "Deborah River" bezeichnet. Dies bezieht sich auf einen Vorfall, als Deborah Chidsey (Schiff ?) den Gouverneur Gurdon Saltonstall auf einem Felsen im Fluss zurückließ, als sie auf die Abnahme der Flut wartete. Das Land entlang des Flusses wird seit den frühen 1970ern von Ferienhäusern begleitet, als Grundstücke günstig waren. 1998 wurde das Gebiet des State Parks vom Staat Connecticut erworben, als die Gefahr bestand, dass auf dem Areal Luxusanwesen errichtet werden könnten. Der Staat erwarb in Gemeinschaft mit dem U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service und dem Trust for Public Lands ein 57-acre (23 ha) großes Stück Land und ein weiteres Landstück mit 15 acre (6 ha) an der Mansfield Grove Road für $1,75 million. 2006 richtete die Quinnipiac University, die den Park bewirtschaftet ein Wireless Network Communication System im Park ein, damit wurde es der erste State Park in Connecticut mit Wi-Fi. Im selben Jahr wurde ein leerstehendes Gebäude, das abgerissen werden sollte durch Brandstiftung zerstört. 2012 wurden durch Pfadfinder etwa 2 km an Wanderwegen angelegt. Diese verbinden nun die D.C. Moore School mit dem Farm River State Park und der Short Beach Road. Fauna & Flora Die vielfältige Landschaft bietet ideale Brutbedingungen für verschiedene Entenarten, Möwen, Schmuckreiher und Kanadareiher. In den Marschgebieten finden Krabben ideale Bedingungen. Freizeitmöglichkeiten Der Farm River State Park verfügt über keinerlei Bauten oder Straßen, hat aber zwei Wanderwege, die zu Aussichtspunkten führen. Im Park kann man Picknicken, Wandern, Radfahren, Angeln, Krabben fangen, Vögel beobachten und Boot fahren. Der Zugang für Bootsfahrer ist jedoch beschränkt. Die Quinnipiac University, die den Park für den Staat betreut, vergibt Jahreskarten für die Bootsanleger.
