National Capitol Columns

National Capitol Columns,, traducido, las Columnas del Capitolio Nacional son un monumento en el Arboretum Nacional de Estados Unidos, Washington D. C.. Se trata de una colocación de veintidós columnas corintias que formaron parte del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos desde 1828 hasta 1958, colocadas en medio de 20 acres (8,1 ha) de prado abierto, conocido como Ellipse Meadow.​ Uso original Las columnas de piedra arenisca se extrajeron cerca de Aquia Creek en Virginia y se transportaron a Washington en una barcaza. En algunas de las piedras aún pueden verse las antiguas marcas de identificación de la cantera.​ Se colocaron originalmente en el pórtico este del Capitolio en 1828, mucho antes de que se completara la conocida cúpula del Capitolio. Sin embargo, cuando la cúpula se completó en 1866, parecía inadecuadamente sostenida por las columnas, porque la cúpula de hierro era significativamente más grande que la cúpula que el diseñador había previsto. Para corregir esta ilusión visual, en 1958 se construyó una adición al lado este del Capitolio y se quitaron las columnas.​ Transferencia al Arboretum Durante la década de 1980, la benefactora de Arboretum, Ethel Garrett, asumió la causa de establecer un hogar permanente para las columnas. Russell Page, un paisajista y amigo cercano de Garrett, visitó el Arboretum en septiembre de 1984, solo unos meses antes de su muerte. Determinó que el lado este de Ellipse Meadow sería una ubicación ideal, ya que las columnas estarían en escala con los más de 20 acres (8,1 ha) de prado abierto disponible en el sitio.​ Las columnas se trasladaron a este sitio y se colocaron sobre una base de piedras de los escalones que originalmente estaban en el lado este del Capitolio. Una piscina reflectante, alimentada por un pequeño riachuelo de agua que corre por un canal en los escalones, refleja las columnas y proporciona sonido y movimiento.​ Un capitel, o parte superior, de una de las columnas se encuentra en otra parte del prado, de modo que los visitantes puedan ver el detalle que el tallador de piedra incorporó al diseño. Las hojas de acanto son claramente visibles, y las muchas capas de pintura aplicadas mientras la columna estaba en su lugar en el Capitolio son visibles en partes de la piedra.​ Las dos columnas faltantes Solo 22 de las 24 columnas originales se encuentran en Ellipse Meadow. Las dos columnas restantes están dañadas y descansan en la cima del Monte Hamilton, dentro de la Colección Azalea del Arboretum. Ambas están partidas por la mitad y ninguna tiene basa ni capitel.

National Capitol Columns

National Capitol Columns (pol. Kolumny Narodowego Kapitolu) – pomnik znajdujący się w Narodowym Arboretum Stanów Zjednoczonych w Waszyngtonie, którego główną część stanowią dwadzieścia dwie kolumny przeniesione z budynku waszyngtońskiego Kapitolu w 1990. Historia Kolumny wykonano przed 1828 z piaskowca ze Stafford w Wirginii. Początkowo stanowiły część portyku wschodniego Kapitolu Stanów Zjednoczonych. Gdy w 1866 ukończono kopułę wieńczącą budowlę, kolumny przestały optycznie pasować i w 1958 usunięto je, rozbudowując wschodnią część gmachu. 22 kolumny ustawiono staraniem Ethel Shields Garrett w arboretum w 1990. Strukturę monumentu i jej otoczenie przygotowano według projektu Russella Page'a. Zwieńczenia kolumn są w porządku korynckim. Dwie brakujące kolumny, których oryginalnie na Kapitolu było dwadzieścia cztery, znajdują się w ogrodzie z azaliami na terenie arboretum. Przypisy

Ohev Sholom Congregation

Ohev Sholom Congregation (previously Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah [Hebrew for Lovers of Peace and Study of Torah] and Ohev Sholom – The National Synagogue) is the oldest Orthodox synagogue in the Shepherd Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., in the United States. The synagogue was formed from the merger of two synagogues, Ohev Sholom and Talmud Torah. History Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah was formed in 1958 as a merger between Ohev Sholom Congregation, founded as Chai Adon Congregation in 1886, and Talmud Torah Congregation (the synagogue in which the father of Al Jolson once served as cantor), founded three years later. Ohev Sholom was previously situated at 5th and I Streets, NW, while Talmud Torah was previously situated at 14th and Emerson Streets, NW, having moved there from E Street in Southwest Washington. Their combined Shepherd Park building opened in 1960. Membership fell in the late twentieth century as Jewish families moved to the suburbs. The synagogue opened a branch composed largely of younger families in Olney, Maryland, in 1994, which became the separate congregation Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah Congregation of Olney between 2002 and 2005. Only a few, mostly older families, were left at the Washington DC location. Early in the new century, a number of families who preferred urban life decided to attempt to revive Orthodox Jewish life in Shepherd Park. Hiring a new rabbi, Shmuel Herzfeld who was formerly the associate rabbi at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale synagogue headed by Rabbi Avi Weiss, was central to this effort. The decision to rename the synagogue "The National Synagogue" in 2005 drew a good deal of criticism, not least from among other Jews, who felt that the name was a marketing label inaccurately implying a special position of leadership in the American Jewish community. Rabbi Herzfeld defended the choice on the grounds that the name makes clear that the synagogue is welcoming and open to everyone. Herzfeld insisted that in spite of the copyright on the phrase, other synagogues should feel free to use the same label. Under Rabbi Herzfeld’s leadership, the synagogue was noted as a particularly vibrant and fast-growing institution. It also took a number of unusual initiatives, including advertising its services with leaflets and television and radio spots, holding free Yom Kippur services, and the installation of ramps and elevators to ensure that the synagogue is genuinely open to everyone. Herzfeld left to found a yeshiva at the end of 2021. In 2023, the synagogue was renamed to simply "Ohev Sholom", dropping "The National Synagogue". Today Ohev Sholom Congregation advertises itself as a dynamic Orthodox community that values Torah, prayer, and good deeds. The congregation touts its location in NW Washington as easily accessible to surrounding neighborhoods in the District of Columbia and Maryland. The congregation counts in its membership a growing number of working professionals, families with small children, and others. References External resources Official website
Capitol View Neighborhood Library

The Capitol View Neighborhood Library is part of the District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL) System. It was opened to the public on January 23, 1965, after 10 years of advocacy by the Capitol View community. A 2018 renovation introduced a new facade, an updated plaza, and the new sculpture "Freedom to Read." History The Reverend Sister Patsy Allen, President of the Marshall Heights Civic Association, petitioned the Senate Appropriations Committee in 1963 to provide funds for a public library. Her request stated that "every moment delayed serves to undermine the educational structure of our children and adults as well. Originally opened in 1965, the Capitol View Library was modernized beginning in 2017 to support more library services. Improvements began with the renovation of the library’s interior in 2017. That phase of work increased the public spaces in the library by expanding the spaces for children and teens; adding more meeting rooms; replacing the furniture; and creating a new computer-training lab. The building’s HVAC and lighting were also replaced, improving the efficiency of the library, helping the building achieve LEED Gold certification. The exterior renovations began in 2018. During this phase, a new facade was installed, new windows were expanded to provide more natural light, new fencing was added to the rear, and the plaza in front of the library was upgraded. The renovations included a sculpture, "Freedom to Read," designed by Davide Prete, which joined other public art already on display at the library. His work was selected after the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the Library solicited professional proposals from local artists or artist teams. This opportunity was only open to resident artists and artist teams residing in the District of Columbia. See also District of Columbia Public Library Marshall Heights, Washington, D.C.

New Executive Office Building

The New Executive Office Building (NEOB) is a U.S. federal government office building in Washington, D.C., for the executive branch. The building is located at 725 17th Street NW, on the north side of Pennsylvania Avenue. To the south is the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB), which is next to the White House―the EEOB before 1999 was known as the Old Executive Office Building. The other sides are bounded by 17th Street NW (west), H Street NW (north), and Jackson Place and Lafayette Park (east). Within the same block are several buildings: Blair House, Trowbridge House, and Renwick Gallery in the south and the National Grange Headquarters and the Decatur House to the north. Known as Federal Office Building #7, it was built from 1965 to 1969 and is ten stories tall, double the height of the EEOB. According to Michael J. Bednar of the University of Virginia School of Architecture, "Four taller office buildings dating to earlier in the 20th century were demolished and replaced with new rowhouse office buildings. One has an open base to serve as an entry to the New Executive Office Building via a courtyard. The historic structures were preserved and rehabilitated for smaller federal agencies. The New Executive Office Building has an offset H-shaped plan with a long blank brick facade along Seventeenth Street." The building was designed by architect John Carl Warnecke, who also designed 722 Jackson Place and the National Courts Building (717 Madison Place) on the opposite side of Lafayette Park during the same period. Warnecke sought to "harmonize [the structures] with Lafayette Square's historic character and retained the domestic facades but joined the separate interiors." According to Shelley Lynne Tomkin in Inside OMB, most Office of Management and Budget civil service employees work in the NEOB, while most OMB political appointees work across the street in the EEOB.

New Executive Office Building

O New Executive Office Building (NEOB) é um edifício de escritórios do governo federal americano em Washington, D.C., destinado ao Poder Executivo. O edifício está localizado no número 725 da 17th Street NW, no lado norte da Avenida Pensilvânia. Ao sul, encontra-se o Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB), adjacente à Casa Branca ― o EEOB era conhecido antes de 1999 como Old Executive Office Building. Os outros lados são delimitados pela 17th Street NW (oeste), H Street NW (norte), e Jackson Place e Parque Lafayette (leste). No mesmo quarteirão, encontram-se diversos edifícios: Blair House, Trowbridge House e a Galeria Renwick ao sul, e a sede da National Grange e a Decatur House ao norte. Conhecido como Federal Office Building #7, foi construído entre 1965 e 1969 e possui dez andares, o dobro da altura do EEOB. De acordo com Michael J. Bednar, da Escola de Arquitetura da Universidade da Virgínia, "Quatro edifícios de escritórios mais altos, datados do início do século XX, foram demolidos e substituídos por novos edifícios de escritórios em estilo casa geminada. Um deles possui uma base aberta que serve como entrada para o New Executive Office Building através de um pátio. As estruturas históricas foram preservadas e reabilitadas para agências federais menores. O New Executive Office Building tem uma planta em forma de H deslocada, com uma longa fachada de tijolos sem acabamento ao longo da Seventeenth Street." O edifício foi projetado pelo arquiteto John Carl Warnecke, que também projetou o 722 Jackson Place e o National Courts Building (717 Madison Place) no lado oposto do Parque Lafayette durante o mesmo período. Warnecke procurou "harmonizar [as estruturas] com o caráter histórico da Praça Lafayette e manteve as fachadas residenciais, mas uniu os interiores separados". De acordo com Shelley Lynne Tomkin em Inside OMB, a maioria dos funcionários públicos do Gabinete de Gestão e Orçamento trabalha no NEOB, enquanto a maioria dos nomeados políticos do OMB trabalha do outro lado da rua, no EEOB.

Old Engine Company 26 (Washington, D.C.)

Old Engine Company No. 26, also known as the Langdon Firehouse and Chemical Company No. 3, located at 2715 22nd Street, NE, Washington, D.C. is a historic firehouse built in 1908 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. The firehouse was built in response to a petition by the Northeastern Citizens’ Suburban Association for better fire protection. The Langdon neighborhood where it is located lay outside Washington's hydrant system, so fires were extinguished with chemicals and the station was originally known as Chemical Company No. 3. The station was renamed Engine Company 26 in the 1920s and closed in 1940. Originally built to house Chemical Company 3, the firehouse was renamed Engine Company 26 in 1913. In 1940, a year after a major restructuring of the fire department, Engine Company 26 moved in with Truck Company 15 at 1340 Rhode Island Avenue, N.E. The city then proposed to adapt the building for use as a library. The Rhode Island Avenue Citizens’ Association countered the proposal with one to use the firehouse as a community center. The city decided, instead, to sell the building to the highest bidder. Shortly thereafter, the building was purchased by a church. It was later resold to the New Memorial Temple of Christ Apostolic Faith, Inc., which currently occupies the property.
