The Lindens (Washington, D.C.)

The Lindens, also known as the King Hooper House, is an historic three-story house located in the Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It is the oldest house in Washington (although it was not originally built there) and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1969. The house was built in Danvers, Massachusetts, in 1754 as a grand summer home for Robert "King" Hooper, a leading shipowner and merchant in Marblehead, Massachusetts, who sided with the Tories before the Revolutionary War and lent the house for four months to Thomas Gage, the reviled British governor. Hooper lost the house to creditors. After passing through several other owners, including one who used it as a boardinghouse, the house was purchased in 1860 by Francis Peabody Jr., who restored and added to it. It was again sold in 1933 to antiques dealers Israel Sack and Leon David, who sold the paneled drawing room to a Kansas City museum. The remainder of the house was sold the next year for about US$13,000 (equivalent to $312,873 in 2025) to George and Miriam Morris, who were seeking a period house to showcase their collection of early American furniture. The Morrises had the house dismantled and shipped to Washington, with the pieces numbered, in six railroad boxcars. Under the direction of the key architect at Colonial Williamsburg, it was slowly reassembled from 1935 to 1938 on a concrete foundation, supported by steel beams. Over the next 45 years, some 50,000 visitors passed through the house, greeted by the owners in period costume. In 1983 it was sold to Norman and Diane Bernstein, who modernized and updated the kitchen and plumbing. At that time, some of the furnishings were auctioned for $2.3 million at Christie's. In 2007 it was resold for $7.2 million, and in 2016 the house was listed for sale again. The house measures 8,250 square feet (766 m2), with 11 fireplaces, and has nearly 12-foot (3.7 m) ceilings, interior columns, stenciled floors, and wallpaper designed in Paris in the early 1800s.

The Octagon House

The Octagon House, construida entre 1789 y 1800, fue diseñada por el doctor William Thornton, el arquitecto del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos. La casa se construyó para el coronel John Tayloe, al cual pertenecía la plantación de Mt. Airy, a unos 150 kilómetros al sur de Washington D. C. en el condado de Richmond, en Virginia. Tayloe tenía la fama de ser el propietario de la plantación más rica de Virginia, y se construyó una casa en Washington siguiendo el consejo de George Washington. En 1814, el coronel Tayloe ofreció el uso de su casa al presidente James Madison y a su mujer como una casa temporal debido a la quema de la Casa Blanca por parte de los británicos. Madison usó la habitación circular encima de la entrada como estudio, y allí firmó el Tratado de Gante que acabó con la Guerra de 1812. Esta casa de tres pisos de ladrillo, que se adaptó a una finca de forma irregular, muestra un nuevo ladrillo con el tradicional estilo georgiano y el nuevo esquema de casa federal. The Octagon alcanza la cima de la arquitectura federal en los Estados Unidos gracias a sus brillantes planos que combinan un círculo, dos rectángulos y un triángulo, así como por la elegancia y moderación de su decoración interior y exterior. La piedra Coade (un tipo de piedra cerámica inglesa), las cocinas, los elementos decorativos y los muebles se trajeron de Inglaterra. Los materiales de construcción, como los ladrillos, madera, hierro y otras piedras se produjeron en los Estados Unidos. La Octagon House se convirtió en la sede del American Institute of Architects (Instituto Americano de Arquitectos, o AIA) el 1 de enero de 1899, y tomaron posesión de la casa en el año 1902. Hoy, la Fundación Americana de la Arquitectura es la dueña de Octagon House, y la AIA ha movido su sede a un edificio más grande detrás del original. Se ha llevado a cabo un extenso trabajo de rehabilitación en la casa desde 1996, tratando de retornar al esplendor inicial de este edificio.

The Octagon House

The Octagon House, aussi connue comme la Colonel John Tayloe III House, est une bâtisse remarquable située au 1799 New York Avenue (en), dans le Northwest et le quartier du Foggy Bottom de Washington, aux États-Unis. Histoire La maison est conçue par William Thornton, le premier architecte du Capitole des États-Unis, et construite entre 1799 et 1801 pour le colonel John Tayloe III (en). Pendant la guerre anglo-américaine de 1812, quand les troupes britanniques marchent sur Washington, les Tayloe approchent l'ambassadeur français et lui proposent que leur maison devienne l'ambassade de France aux États-Unis, ce qui est accepté et permet ainsi au bâtiment de traverser le conflit sans dommage. En 1814, le colonel Tayloe met temporairement sa maison à la disposition du président des États-Unis James Madison et sa femme Dolley après l'incendie de la Maison-Blanche par les Britanniques. En 1855, les Tayloe vendent la maison qui devient le siège de l'American Institute of Architects (AIA) en 1899. La maison est réputée comme hantée dans le folklore local. Le bâtiment est un National Historic Landmark depuis 1960 et est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis 1966.

Sala Verde (Casa Branca)

A Sala Verde (em inglês: Green Room) é um dos três salões de estado no primeiro andar da Casa Branca. É usada para pequenas recepções e chás. A sala é tradicionalmente decorada em tons de verde. A sala possui 28 ft X 22 ft. Tem seis portas que abrem para a Sala Leste e para a Sala Azul. História A sala foi idealizada por James Hoban para ser a "Sala de Jantar Comum". Thomas Jefferson não usou a sala como sala de jantar e transformou o chão com lonas verdes. Durante os governos os presidentes e, principalmente, as primeiras-damas têm usado a sala para receber os convidados pessoais. O presidente James Madison assinou a primeira declaração de guerra (ver Guerra anglo-americana de 1812) nesta sala. O presidente James Monroe usou esta sala como sala de jogos e instalou nela duas mesas de cartas. Mas até 1820, esta funcionou como a Green Drawing Room (Sala Verde de Desenho) durante a administração de John Quincy Adams. Entre as cenas mais frequentes na Sala Verde eram, de ver a primeira-dama Frances Cleveland sempre cantando músicas românticas olhando pela janela, ou, de sempre ver o presidente Theodore Roosevelt comendo um pedaço de coxa de frango assada no almoço, ou Harry Truman sempre lendo um jornal, como da vez que foi relatado um "piripaque" ao ler a noticia em que a Coreia do Norte violou o Paralelo 38, assim, invadindo o Sul, em 1950, dando o inicio a Guerra da Coreia. O corpo do presidente Lincoln foi velado nesta sala após o seu assassinado no Teatro Ford. Mas, esta sala também foi palco de momentos de descontração, como a vez em que o presidente Kennedy deitou no chão desta sala por que achava a decoração mais atratente do que a de seu quarto.

Thomas Circle

Thomas Circle is een rotonde en plein in het centrum van Washington D.C. Het ligt op de kruising van Massachusetts Avenue, Vermont Avenue, 14th Street en M Street, NW. De doorgaande rijstroken van Massachusetts Avenue gaan onder Thomas Circle door via een tunnel die opengesteld werd voor het verkeer op 14 maart 1940. Het plein is vernoemd naar generaal George Henry Thomas. In het midden van het plein staat een ruiterstandbeeld van de generaal gemaakt door John Quincy Adams Ward en opgericht in 1879. In 2006 heeft de stad Washington D.C. het plein gerenoveerd voor 6 miljoen dollar. Het project omvatte de toevoeging van fietspaden, voetgangersgebieden, oversteekplaatsen, betere straatverlichting, en nieuwe trottoirs. Het oorspronkelijke "eiland" in de rotonde werd opnieuw opgetrokken, waardoor het ruiterstandbeeld wederom in een openbaar plantsoen staat.

Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building

The Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building (TMFJB) at the crossroads of the Capitol Hill and NoMA neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., houses offices that support the work of the United States Courts, including the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, the Federal Judicial Center, the United States Sentencing Commission, and the Office of the Clerk of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. The building was named after Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American justice of the Supreme Court; and is part of the United States Capitol Complex under the Architect of the Capitol's Supreme Court Building and Grounds jurisdiction which it shares in common with the United States Supreme Court Building that houses the Supreme Court of the United States. It is located at One Columbus Circle NE in Washington D.C. adjacent to Union Station, a few blocks from the United States Capitol. It was completed in 1992 and was designed by architecture firm Edward Larrabee Barnes and partner John Ming Yee Lee. It features a dramatic five-story tall glass atrium at its main entrance with a signature indoor bamboo forest. A jury unanimously selected the firm of Barnes/Lee & Partners as the architects and Boston Properties as the developer. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist approved the selection on January 13, 1989. The Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building is an administrative center for the federal court system located next to Union Station. Its construction completed the Columbus Circle area and was considered a long overdue addition to the Washington DC's Union Station and post office. Financing By the terms of the innovative financing package, the Architect of the Capitol, George White, agreed to lease the site and finished building to the developer for thirty years, at which time it would revert to the government at no cost. Rents would be used to amortize the privately raised debt. Not since the 1790s, when the board of commissioners attempted to finance the Capitol and White House through the sale of city lots, had such unconventional financing been tried on a federal construction project. Unlike the commissioners' bungled efforts, however, this financing scheme proved entirely satisfactory.

Internationale Valutafond

"IMF" omdirigeres hertil. IMF kan også stå for Institut for Matematiske Fag. Den Internationale Valutafond (engelsk: The International Monetary Fund (IMF)) er en international organisation, der er ansvarlig for at styre det globale finanssystem og for at låne penge til sine medlemslande for at afhjælpe problemer med underskud på betalingsbalancen. Indsatsen rettes især mod lande i svære økonomiske problemer. Til gengæld for lånet forpligter landene sig til at iværksætte reformer. Den Internationale Valutafond har 188 medlemslande. IMFs hovedkvarter ligger i Washington, D.C.. Organisation og formål IMF har pr. 2014 188 medlemslande (det 188. medlemsland var Sydsudan, som blev medlem af IMF i april 2012). Organisationen arbejder for at sikre "international finansiel stabilitet og monetært samarbejde, facilitere international handel, fremme høj beskæftigelse og bæredygtig økonomisk vækst samt reducere fattigdom". Historie Under den verdensomspændende depression i 1930’erne brød den internationale samhandel nærmest sammen, da de fleste vestlige lande indførte handelsrestriktioner som toldbarrierer og importkvoter og begrænsede deres borgeres muligheder for at eje udenlandsk valuta. Ved Bretton Woods-mødet i 1944, hvor 45 lande mødtes for at aftale rammerne for et kommende internationalt økonomisk samarbejde efter 2. verdenskrig, blev det derfor blandt andet besluttet at oprette IMF. Den formelle oprettelse skete året efter, og IMF havde fra starten 29 medlemslande. Organisationen skulle overvåge det internationale monetære system, sikre stabile valutakurser og tilskynde medlemslandene til at fjerne valutarestriktioner og andre tiltag, der forhindrede frihandel. Indtil 1971 var det derfor en vigtig opgave for IMF at forsøge at opretholde det gældende fastkurssystem. Da USA gik fra guldet i 1971, brød dette Bretton Woods-system imidlertid sammen, og valutakurserne mellem f.eks. USA og de største vesteuropæiske valutaer har siden været flydende. IMF’s opgave er derfor også skiftet. I dag opfatter organisationen det som sin hovedopgave at styrke den globale finansielle stabilitet. Det sker ved at rådgive regeringer og centralbanker, skabe forskning og international statistik, give lån til medlemslande i økonomiske vanskeligheder og yde teknisk assistance og oplæring for at hjælpe medlemslandene med at forbedre deres økonomier. Ledelse Den ledende direktør, der står i spidsen for IMF, kommer traditionelt fra Europa, mens formanden for Verdensbanken kommer fra USA.

Trowbridge House

The Trowbridge House is a historic building located in Washington, D.C., that as of 2015 was renovated to serve as a presidential residence, specifically for the use of former presidents of the United States while visiting the capital city.
