Музей Флоренс Грисуолд

Музей Флоренс Грисуолд (англ. Florence Griswold Museum) — художественный музей в США, расположенный в городе Олд-Лайм, штат Коннектикут; известен своей коллекцией картин американских импрессионистов. Здание музея объявлено Национальным историческим памятником Соединённых Штатов в 1993 году. Музей имеет аккредитацию American Association of Museums (с 1978 года). История Музей был основан в 1936 году в доме, где жила Флоренс Грисуолд, и который стал ядром художественной колонии Олд-Лайм. Дом принадлежал семье Флоренс и представлял собой особняк в стиле Георгианской архитектуры, разработанной архитектором Samuel Belcher, построенный в 1817 году. Владелица дома изменила планировку дома, перестроив хозяйственные постройки под мастерские для художников. Многие работы, хранящиеся в коллекции музея, отображают особняк и его территорию. В 1937 году, незадолго до смерти Флоренс, её друзья и художники создали ассоциацию Florence Griswold Association, чтобы приобрести дом и превратить его в музей, но это им не удалось и дом купил судья Роберт Марш (англ. Robert McCurdy Marsh), который предоставил Флоренс возможность жить в доме до её смерти. Ассоциация продолжила попытки выкупить дом, являющийся примером ранней архитектуры Новой Англии и создать в нём музей искусства, что им удалось в 1941 году. В 1947 году музей был открыт для публики. Первоначально в музее работали волонтеры, и только в 1972 году был нанят профессиональный персонал. В 2002 году в музее была открыта галерея Robert и Nancy Krible, занимающая 9500 квадратных футов (880 м²) выставочной площади и имеющая вид на реку Lieutenant River.

Fort Shantok

Fort Shantok, in Montville, Connecticut, United States, was the site of the principal Mohegan settlement between 1636 and 1682 and the sacred ground of Uncas, one of the most prominent and influential Mohegan leaders and statesmen of his era. Originally part of Mohegan reservation lands, the property was taken by the state of Connecticut in the 20th century and Fort Shantok State Park was established. In 1995, following legal action by the tribe to recover its lands, the state returned the park to Mohegan control. The tribe now operates the area, part of its reservation, as a local park. The grounds were declared a National Historic Landmark (as the Fort Shantok Archaeological District) in 1993. Description The fort was purchased by the State Park and Forest commission in 1930 and added to the Fort Shantok State Park, increasing the park to 160 acres. The area was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993. However, it does not appear that the Mohegans had a choice regarding said purchase, per the history declared by them. In 1994, through a land claims settlement act, the Mohegans paid $3 million for return of the land. The district is located within the Mohegan Indian Reservation just west of the Thames River and south of the Mohegan Sun casino off Route 2A. The fort was used as a burial ground and contains over one hundred identified graves. The Mohegans decided not to build on the land or further develop it in order to preserve the land's history. The Archaeological Consulting Services offered to preserve eight acres of the two tribal sites, but the tribe decided to preserve all the property instead. Fort Shantok represents a location of distinction to the Mohegan people, because it is the first site where they settled with Sachem Uncas in the 17th century. In addition, Fort Shantok was used as a stronghold by the Mohegan leader Uncas when fending off an attack from the Narragansetts during 1645. Although the fort was sturdy and well-defended, the attack continued until an English force led by Lt. Thomas Leffingwell provided reprovisions. At this point, the Narragansetts abandoned the siege and returned home. There is a memorial in the shape of a wigwam known as the Leffingwell Memorial in the fort, the inscription stating, "Here stood the fort of Uncas Sachem of the Mohegans and friend of the English; here in 1645 when beseiged [sic] by the Narragansetts he was relieved by the bravery of Lt. T. I. Leffingwell." It is one of the few places where Native American ceramics have been preserved in southern New England in any state, due to the area's highly acidic soil, climate, and colonial construction. These ceramics have been used in an attempt by archeologists to determine migration patterns in local New England tribes, such as the Pequots.

Founders Bridge

The Founders Bridge is one of the three highway bridges over the Connecticut River between Hartford, Connecticut and East Hartford, Connecticut. The steel stringer bridge carries the Route 2 freeway, and also crosses over Interstate 91 (which runs parallel to the river). As of 2013 the bridge had an average daily traffic of 29,200. One of the centerpieces of Hartford's Riverfront Recapture project, it features a wide pedestrian promenade and access to the rest of the riverfront park area as well as to Constitution Plaza. The bridge makes up a section of the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) system of trails connecting Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. History In 1950, the Bulkeley Bridge upstream was very congested with traffic, primarily because it was the only bridge that led to downtown Hartford, so it was planned to build a bridge just downstream, called the State Street Bridge. In 1955 they renamed this planned bridge as the Founders Bridge. In the same year, the Greater Hartford Bridge Authority was created to help with this bridge's planning, along with the Putnam Bridge and the Bissell Bridge. The bridge opened on December 27, 1957, and was put under the designation of CT 2. Tolls were removed about the time the bridge was connected to I-91 and I-84. In the late 1980s the bridge was considered for rebuilding to accompany a riverfront plaza being planned in the area. This led the state to rebuild the bridge in 1994 to add lanes, a large sidewalk, and path connections to East Hartford and Hartford. This rebuilding also eliminated the hazardous, congestion-prone connections to and from I-91 Northbound, as these ramps had been made redundant by the toll-free Charter Oak Bridge replacement span. In 2001, a walkway was completed to link the path across Columbus Boulevard to Constitution Plaza.

Fowler Island

Fowler Island is the sole island owned by Milford, Connecticut, north of I-95 in the Housatonic River. The island is north of the Moses Wheeler Bridge, and south of the Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Bridge. The island is uninhabited except for occasional visits by anglers, bird watchers and duck hunters; all transportation to the island is by boat. The island's maximum elevation is approximately 7 feet (2.1 m). The mercury content was evaluated in 2003 at ~300 to 5000 ppb.

Mill Brook Bridge

The Mill Brook Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge, located just North of Lower Blissville Road in Lisbon, Connecticut. With a plausibly estimated construction date of the 1790s, it is probably the oldest surviving stone arch bridge in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Since then, it has deteriorated and is partially collapsed. Description and history The Mill Brook Bridge is located several hundred yards East of the Shetucket River, on the North Side of Lower Blissville Road just west of its Junction with Icehouse and Blissville Roads. It is a single-span masonry arch, with a span of about 10 feet (3.0 m) across Mill Brook, which the roadway crosses on a modern steel girder bridge. The arch is built out of roughly hewn rubble stone, and was originally laid dry (without any mortar. It would have been topped by layers of soil, with a roadbed above. The arch originally had a width of about 18 feet (5.5 m). The bridge's top layers have been eroded away, and part of the arch has collapsed. The bridge was originally located where Lower Blissville Road now runs; it was relocated to its present position in 1915, when a modern bridge was built on the site. The road has been a historically important route, opened by 1717, as a route connecting Norwich and Plainfield. By the late 18th century, the route had been designated as a post route, resulting in an increase in stagecoach traffic. In 1790, the town of Lisbon made a number of improvements to the route, documented in 1792 to include a "stone causeway" on Bundy Hill, the slope to the west. The bridge's dry laid and rough cut construction is consistent with bridge building of the period, where later bridge construction tended to use mortar and more formally dressed stone.

Vine Street Apartment Buildings

The Vine Street Apartment Buildings, many now known as the Horace Bushnell Apartments, are a historic collection of residential apartment blocks at 4-48 Vine Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built between 1922 and 1925, they consist of eleven brick buildings sharing massing, scale, and setting, with a cross-section of period building styles. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Description and history The Vine Street Apartments are located in Hartford's North End residential neighborhood, occupying most of a full block on the east side of Vine Street between Albany Avenue and Mather Street. The eleven buildings are all three stories in height and are built out of brick, stone, and concrete, and share a consistent and deep setback, although the lots are not of uniform width. The first nine buildings are fronted by a shared metal picket fence with brick piers framing several openings. Five of the eleven are Classical Revival in style, while another five are Tudor Revival, and one is in the Spanish Mission style. In the early 20th-century, the Vine Street area was part of the estate of James Junius Goodwin, an insurance and railroad magnate who was a cousin of J. Pierpont Morgan. Goodwin died in 1915, and his estate was subdivided for development as a streetcar suburb. Lots on Vine Street were sold beginning in 1922, with development taking place rapidly. Seven of the eleven buildings were designed by Harry Beckanstein, a local architect who executed many residential projects in the city. Most of his buildings in this development are simple expressions of the Classical Revival, with some Tudor details.
