Американский Красный Крест

Американский Красный Крест (англ. American Red Cross) основан Кларой Бартон с группой единомышленников 21 мая 1881 г. в Вашингтоне. К. Бартон впервые услышала о возникшем в Швейцарии Международном Движении Красного Креста, посетив Европу после Гражданской войны в Соединенных Штатах Америки. Вернувшись домой она развернула широкую кампанию по организации Американского Общества Красного Креста и по ратификации Женевской Конвенции, защищающей раненых во время войны, которую Соединенные Штаты Америки ратифицировали в 1882 г. Первый местный филиал Американского Красного Креста был создан 22 августа, 1881 г. в Дэнсвилле (Dansville), штат Нью-Йорк. Клара Бартон возглавляла Американский Красный Крест на протяжении 23 лет, в течение которых она организовала его участие в национальных и международных операциях по оказанию помощи при различных бедствиях, помогала вооруженным силам США во время Испано-Американской войны и успешно проводила кампанию за признание организации спасательных операций в мирное время частью обязательной работы Международного Движения Красного Креста, так называемая «Американская поправка», что поначалу встретило определенное сопротивление в Европе. Перед Первой мировой войной, Американский Красный Крест проводил программы по оказанию первой помощи, обеспечению безопасности на воде и организацию медицинской помощи населению медицинскими сестрами. С началом войны отмечается быстрый рост организации. Количество местных филиалов возросло от 107 в 1914 г. до 3 864 в 1918 г. Количество членов выросло с 17 тысяч до более чем 20 миллионов взрослых и около 11 миллионов членов Молодёжного красного Креста. Население внесло 400 миллионов долларов деньгами и другими видами помощи, чтобы поддержать программы Красного Креста, включая программы помощи для Американских и Союзнических сил и гражданских беженцев. Красный Крест укомплектовывал больницы и отряды санитарных машин и завербовал 20 000 подготовленных медсестр, для оказания медицинской помощи военным. Кроме того, медсестры Красного Креста принимали самое активное участие в борьбе с всемирной эпидемией гриппа в 1918 году. После войны, Красный Крест сосредоточился на обслуживании ветеранов и расширению программ в обучении вопросам безопасности, профилактики несчастных случаев, уходу на дому за больными и просвещению в вопросах питания. Он также обеспечивал оказание помощи жертвам таких крупных бедствий как наводнение на реке Миссисипи в 1927 году, сильная засуха и Великая депрессия в течение 1930-х годов. 11 ноября 1926 года Американский Красный Крест награждён орденом Эстонского Красного Креста 1 степени.

American Institute of Pharmacy Building

The American Institute of Pharmacy Building, also known as the Americal Pharmaceutical Association Building and the American Pharmacists Association Building is a late Beaux Arts style building in Washington, D.C., the headquarters of the American Pharmacists Association. The building, prominently located on Constitution Avenue, is on the only privately held lot in the area, surrounded by protected Federal lands. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. History The American Institute of Pharmacy Building was designed by architect John Russell Pope and completed in 1933. It is a one-story building with a full basement partially above grade. Structure is steel and brick with reinforced concrete floor and roof. The building is faced with Vermont marble and faces a wide terrace that overlooks the stepped slope leading down to the Lincoln Memorial. The building is arranged with a strongly centralized mass with subordinate wings to either side. A single monumental door flanked by pilasters and large bronze lamps is the sole punctuation of the facade. Allegorical relief sculpture by Ulysses Ricci embellishes the entrance surround. The building was conceived by Pope to be complementary to the Lincoln Memorial. Because of the prominence of the site and its relationship to the Lincoln Memorial the American Institute of Pharmacy was required to make extensive land acquisitions and exchanges with the government to create suitable buffers and to allow for the widening of 23rd Street as it approaches the Memorial. White marble was specifically stipulated as the exterior cladding material. The interior is arranged around a central rotunda, accompanied by a small museum and library, now board room and reception space. Offices are located to the rear, while the basement was planned as laboratory, service and storage space. The rotunda is capped by a low dome resting on pendentives and lighted by an oculus. The flanking museum and library are lighted by skylights. A three-story addition was built in 1959–1961, designed by Eggers and Higgins and subordinated to the design of the main building. Further additions took place in 2007–2009.

American Peace Society house

The American Peace Society House, also known as the Glover House, is a historic house at 734 Jackson Place NW, facing Lafayette Square in the heart of Washington, D.C. Built in 1878 for banker and philanthropist Charles Carroll Glover, it is most notable as the national headquarters of the American Peace Society from 1911 to 1948. The Peace Society was one of the first overtly pacifist organizations in the nation, with a history dating to 1815. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. Description and history The former American Peace Society House stands on the west side of Jackson Place, the street flanking Lafayette Square's west side. It is one of a series of row houses, built of brick with sandstone trim. It is three stories in height, with a two-bay front facade. The entrance is in the right bay, and the left bay has a two-story polygonal projecting bay. Windows are framed by bracketed hoods that are segmental arches on the first floor, and shallow gables on the upper levels. The entrance is set under a bracketed segmented-arch opening with flanking paneled pilasters. The house was built in 1878, and its first prominent occupant was Charles Carroll Glover, a prominent Washington banker and philanthropist. In 1902 it was briefly occupied by the War College Board. From 1911 to 1947 it served as the headquarters of the American Peace Society. The Society has its origins in a number of local and state peace societies organized in the early decades of the 19th century, the oldest of which, the New York Peace Society, was founded in 1815. In 1828 these disparate groups came together, creating the nation's first organization dedicated to the promotion of international peace. In the 1970s the house was occupied by the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, by which time it had been combined by the creation of openings in party walls with one of the adjacent units. The series of rowhouses it is part of now belong to the federal government, and are managed by the General Services Administration. See also List of National Historic Landmarks in Washington, D.C.

American Red Cross National Headquarters

The American Red Cross National Headquarters is located at 430 17th Street NW in Washington, D.C. Built between 1915 and 1917, it serves both as a memorial to women who served in the American Civil War and as the headquarters building for the American Red Cross. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Architecture The national headquarters of the American Red Cross is located in central Washington, D.C., on the east side of a city block bounded by 17th, D, and E Streets NW. This block, on the west side of The Ellipse south of the White House, is entirely devoted to Red Cross facilities. The main headquarters building is a large stone structure, faced in white Vermont marble and roofed with Ludowici tile. It is three stories in height, its third floor recessed behind a balustrade. Its east-facing main facade has a central classical temple portico, with six Corinthian columns supporting a gabled pediment with a red cross at the center. The flanking building bays are articulated by attached Corinthian columns. The main bronze doorways lead into a large central marble entrance hall, with a broad stairway to the second floor. Niches in the hall are filled with sculptural depictions of "Faith", "Hope", and "Charity", executed by Hiram Powers. Tiffany windows The Board of Governors room contains three Favrile windows by designer Louis Comfort Tiffany. The windows are notable for being the largest suite of Tiffany windows outside a religious building. Unlike many other Tiffany windows, these windows have remained in their original setting. The costs of these windows were donated by two organizations of American Civil War women: the Woman's Relief Corps of the North and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The left panel was based on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "Santa Filomena" that honored the work of Florence Nightingale. The center panel depicts the conception of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement at the Battle of Solferino near Solferino, Italy. The right panel depicts a scene from Edmund Spenser's poem "The Faerie Queene". History The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 in the aftermath of the American Civil War as a unique public-private partnership for providing disaster relief and medical support for military forces. This headquarters building was built between 1915 and 1917 to a design by Trowbridge & Livingston. It cost approximately $800,000 and was dedicated on May 12, 1917.
