Маяк Четырнадцать футов

Маяк Четырнадцать футов (англ. Fourteen Foot Bank Light) — действующий маяк, расположенный в заливе Делавэр недалеко от города Бауэрс, штат Делавэр, США. Стал первым в мире маяком, построенным с использованием пневматического кессона. История Маяк был построен в 1885–1886 годах на южной оконечности отмели Джо Флоггер Шол. При строительстве деревянный кессон был углублён на 23 фута (7,0 м) ниже уровня морского дна, а затем заполнен 2000 кубическими ярдами бетона. Пока кессон опускался, на него устанавливали чугунное основание. На основании было возведено похожее на дом сооружение по проекту компании «H. A. Ramsay and Son» из Балтимора. Инженерами проекта были Андерсон и Барр, а подрядчиком — Д. П. Хип. С 1876 по 1886 год это место отмечал плавучий маяк-судно №19. Изначально была установлена линза Френеля четвертого порядка, изготовленная в Париже. В 1972 году маяк был автоматизирован, а последние смотрители покинули его в 1973 году. Маяк находится в 11 милях (18 км) от берега, поэтому его не видно с суши. В 1989 году он был внесён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. Сегодня он используется как платформа для сбора экологических данных, а его оригинальная линза хранится в Историческом обществе Льюиса. Технические особенности Маяк представляет собой двухэтажный сторожевой домик высотой 12 м с галереей и фонарём, установленный на кессонном основании с чугунной конструкцией. При фокальной высоте 18 метров он излучает белую вспышку продолжительностью 0,9 секунды за 9-секундный период. Его дальность действия составляет 13 морских миль (около 24 км). Маяк также имеет красный секторный огонь, охватывающий близлежащие отмели, с дальностью действия 10 морских миль (около 19 км). Он оснащён автоматическим туманным сигналом, подающим 5 секундный сигнал с последующей 25-секундной паузой.

Frank E. Schoonover Studios

The Frank E. Schoonover Studios in Wilmington, Delaware comprise a historic building that was used by the students of illustrator Howard Pyle, including the original tenants Frank Schoonover, N.C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, and Clifford Ashley. Philanthropist and art collector Samuel Bancroft paid for the building which was designed by the prominent local architect Capt. E.L. Rice, Jr. and built in 1905 in a simplified Queen Anne or Shavian Manorial style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Schoonover remained in his studio, Number 1, until the end of his career, but the other original tenants moved out within ten years. Other artists moved in but Schoonover eventually became the sole owner of the property. After his death in 1972, a group of artists restored the building. In 2006, the Delaware History Museum held a special exhibition about the Studios. See also Delaware Art Museum Howard Pyle Studios References External links Schoonover Studios

Пресвитерианская церковь Лоуэр-Брэндиуайн

Пресвитерианская церковь Лоуэр-Брэндиуайн (англ. Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church) — приход Пресвитерианской церкви США в невключённой общине Сентервилл, округ Нью-Касл, штат Делавэр, относящийся к Пресвитерии Нью-Касла, один из старейших в Делавэре. История Приход был основан 23 апреля 1721 года в ходе общего процесса распространения пресвитерианства на севере штата Делавэр. Первое упоминание относится к 15 октября 1720 года, когда за символическую сумму в пять шиллингов был приобретён в собственность участок земли под церковь. В 1773 году первоначальная община раскололась из-за разногласий на две отдельные, после чего для общины Лоуэр-Брэндиуайна на новом месте была построена новая бревенчатая церковь, которая функционировала до 1860 года, когда на её месте было построено нынешнее кирпичное здание. 23 апреля 1896 года приход отметил своё 175-летие, по этому случаю 21 апреля 1896 года состоялись торжественные мероприятия. Шпиль церкви был пристроен в 1929 году, тогда же появился подвал, где разместились кухня и туалет. Современность Здание было отреставрировано в 1992 году, а затем ещё раз в 2008 году. На территории церкви находится кладбище площадью 10 акров (4,05 га). В 2017 году приход разбил сад для опылителей на своей территории. Примечания

Dutch House (New Castle, Delaware)

The Dutch House is a late-17th-century house in New Castle in the U.S. state of Delaware. Built during New Castle's colonial period, it is considered one of the oldest houses in the state. The house has been used for various purposes throughout its history, including as a rental property, storehouse, and historic house museum. The Dutch House is currently managed by the New Castle Historical Society. History The earliest records of any building on the property refer to "George Moore's log house" in the early 1680s. The current structure is believed to have been built in the late 17th century in the Federal period and has a distinct brick exterior. The interior of the house features both Dutch and English building traditions, with decorative finishes and exposed ceiling beams. It is often contested whether the Dutch House or the Ryves Holt House is the oldest house in the state of Delaware. Although the house is recorded as being built for a Dutch family, it was built using English methods during the English occupation (1663–1673) of the colony; this was not discovered until the house was undergoing restoration. The house is located across the street from the New Castle town green, and its doorstep is located below street level on account of the street's having been raised in the mid-18th century. It was at this time that a cellar was excavated and three sides of the house were wrapped in a brick exterior. In 1823, a full second floor was added, and the house was remodeled in the Federal style. In the late 19th century, the house was rented out and used as a storehouse for the Immanuel Episcopal Church. The house was privately owned until 1937, when it was purchased by the Delaware Society for the Preservation of Antiquities who had it restored and put under the management of the New Castle Historical Society. Today, the Dutch House is open to the public as a museum.

Twin Bridges Rural Historic District

The Twin Bridges Rural Historic District is a historic district in Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Pennsbury Township, Pennsylvania. History and architectural features Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017, its nomination asserted that the district "exhibits a cohesive collection of distinctive architectural resources and landscape features that identify it as an important enclave in the Lower Brandywine Creek Valley of the two types of country estates that were being created within the time frame of the American Country Estate Movement." "The Period of Significance for the proposed Twin Bridges Rural Historic District begins in 1914 with the acquisition of the first farm that became part of the Bissell Estate and ends in 1947 when Beverly Farm was broken up and sold, and falls within the period of time (the mid-Nineteenth through the mid-Twentieth Centuries) when wealthy Americans were emulating the English aristocratic lifestyle of refined country living. It includes the years when its three prominent families - the Bissells (1914-1929), the Haskells (1916-1930), and the Holladays (1916-1930) - acquired a number of farms to create their respective country estates."

Glasgow High School (GHS), located in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware, is one of the three traditional public high schools in Christina School District. GHS serves portions of Glasgow, Bear, Newark, and Wilmington. The facility includes the school district headquarters, a placement intended to be temporary. History GHS, opened in fall 1973, was built to accommodate more than 2,000 students and to reduce strain on the two other schools in the district. The school's building was designed by Wilmington architects Wason, Tingle & Brust. The current headquarters of the school district are in this school property. The school district intended for the move to be temporary as it could not acquire nor develop the property of its choosing. The district announced in October 2021 that the headquarters would go there. The district chose Glasgow because of the space, former technical school facilities, could house the workers.

Grand Opera House (Wilmington, Delaware)

The Grand Opera House, also known as The Grand or Masonic Hall and Grand Theater, is a 1,208-seat theater for the performing arts in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The four-story building was built in 1871 by the Delaware Grand Lodge of Masons to serve as a Masonic Temple and auditorium. The construction cost was $100,000. It was designed in Second Empire style by Baltimore architect Thomas Dixon and incorporates symbolism from Freemasonry into the cast-iron facade. Its central pediment contains an Eye of Providence. Historically, the Grand hosted a variety of operas, symphonies, Victorian melodramas, minstrel shows, burlesque, vaudeville, and other exhibitions, including performers such as Ethel Barrymore, "Buffalo Bill" Cody and "Texas Jack" Omohundro, and John Philip Sousa. For most of the twentieth century the Grand was operated exclusively as a movie theater, run by Warner Brothers from 1930 and eventually closing in 1967. It was reopened four years later and returned to programming emphasizing classical music, partnering with the Delaware Symphony Orchestra, OperaDelaware, and the First State Ballet Theatre. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 with assertions of both architectural and historical significance.

Great Cypress Swamp

The Great Cypress Swamp (also known as Burnt Swamp, Great Pocomoke Swamp, Cypress Swamp, or Big Cypress Swamp), is a forested freshwater swamp located on the Delmarva Peninsula in south Delaware and southeastern Maryland, United States. As of 2000, it is the largest contiguous forest on the Delmarva Peninsula. It is one of the northernmost of the Bald Cypress swamps common in the southeastern United States (Battle Creek Cypress Swamp in Calvert County, Maryland is slightly further north, but much smaller). It covers about 50 square miles (130 km2), mostly in southern Sussex County, Delaware. It is the source of the Pocomoke River, which flows south, and Pepper Creek, which flows northeast. History The swamp once yielded much cypress timber. Through overharvesting and a disastrous peat fire in 1930, much of its vegetation was destroyed. One of the fires burned for eight months, leading it to be deemed the "Burnt Swamp" by local residents. In 1980, Senator Joe Biden, at the request of environmentalists, proposed that the swamp be made into a National Park; this plan was met with resistance from local residents concerned about being overwhelmed with large numbers of visitors. When Senator Tom Carper revisited the idea of creating a national park in Delaware in 2004, the Cypress Swamp was not considered because of these concerns. The non-profit organization Delaware Wild Lands manages the swamp and has undertaken efforts to replant bald cypress trees there. Ecological value Birds The swamp is home to 73 breeding species of birds. The most abundant species in the swamp are the worm-eating warbler and brown-headed cowbird. The swamp also contains two regionally rare species, Swainson's warbler and black-throated green warbler. eBird has records of at least 94 species observed in the swamp, including some found during migration which do not breed there.
