St. John's Episcopal Church

St. Johns's Episcopal Church, Lafayette Square is een Episcopale Kerk gelegen aan het Lafayette Square in Washington D.C., slechts een blok van het Witte Huis vandaan. Sinds de bouw in 1816 heeft elke zittende president de kerk minstens eenmaal bezocht. De kerk staat daarom ook bekend als de Kerk van de Presidenten (In het Engels: Church of the Presidents). Achtergrond Met de ingebruikname van Washington als nationale hoofdstad ontstond ook de noodzaak voor een eigen kerkgebouw voor de plaatselijke Episcopaalse gelovigen. De kerk werd ontworpen door Benjamin Latrobe en onder zijn supervisie gebouwd. De kerkklok werd gemaakt door de zoon van Paul Revere. De kerk werd in 1842 verder uitgebreid. Bij de uitvoering werd de oorspronkelijke inrichting wat betreft banken en gangpaden sterk aangepast. Het koor werd uitgebreid en de wijnglasvormige kansel verdween. In 1883 vonden er wederom aanpassingen plaats. Veel ramen werden vervangen door gebrandschilderd glas, vaak ter herinnering van overleden kerkleden. Het kerkkoor werd verder uitgebreid en er werd een nieuw orgel geplaatst. Aan de zuidoostkant vond een uitbouw plaats waardoor er ruimte ontstond voor onder andere een consistoriekamer en kantoren. Het aantal zitplaatsen groeide met honderdtachtig naar zevenhonderdtachtig in totaal. Sinds James Madison heeft elke president bij gelegenheid St. Johns bezocht. Dat komt deels door de ligging, maar ook doordat bovengemiddeld veel presidenten een episcopale achtergrond hadden. Madison pachtte in 1816 een eigen kerkbank, die sindsdien gereserveerd is voor de president wanneer deze de kerk bezoekt. De meest frequente bezoeker onder de presidenten was Abraham Lincoln die tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog meestal dagelijks het avondgebed bijwoonde. In mei 2020 vonden er massale protesten plaats op het plein voor de kerk vanwege de dood van George Floyd. Er werd brand gesticht in het gebouw. De politie en Nationale Garde verwijderden op 31 mei met gebruik van traangas de vreedzame demonstranten van het plein, waarna president Donald Trump overstak richting de kerk voor een fotomoment. De actie werd fel bekritiseerd omdat men dacht dat de demonstranten werden verdreven voor het fotomoment van Donald Trump. Achteraf bleek dat niet het geval te zijn.
St. Luke's Episcopal Church (Washington, D.C.)

St. Luke's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at 1514 15th Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C. Completed in 1879, it is home to the oldest African-American Episcopal congregation in the city. It was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1976 for its association with Rev. Alexander Crummell (1819–1898), a leading figure advocating for black self-sufficiency and civil rights in the mid-19th century. St. Luke's is an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. As of 2022, the Rector is the Rev. Kim Turner Baker. The church reported 301 members in 2015 and 110 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $300,327. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 61 persons. Architecture St. Luke's Episcopal Church is located west of Washington's Logan Circle, on the west side of 15th Street at its junction with Church Street. It is a masonry structure built mainly out of Chesapeake bluestone with an ashlar finish and laid in random courses. A steeply pitched slate roof covers it. The main facade is symmetrical, with a large central entry portico consisting of two pairs of double doors set in a Gothic arch surround and a large Gothic-arched window in the gable above. Flank lower wings each have smaller but still substantial Gothic windows. The interior is finished in dark oak and has a barrel-vaulted ceiling with posts of iron and wood supporting the roof trusses. History In 1875, some members of St. Mary's Chapel for Colored People in Foggy Bottom and their rector, the Rev. Alexander Crummell of New York City and Liberia (where he worked for 20 years), left St. Mary's to found St. Luke's as the first independent black Episcopal church in Washington. St. Luke's was chartered as a Colored Episcopal Mission. Its neighborhood of Columbia Heights had numerous black families. Calvin Brent, generally considered Washington's first black architect, designed the church after an Anglican church in Cambridge, England. Construction on the church began in 1876 and completed in 1880. The first service was held on Thanksgiving Day, 1879. Alexander Crummell served as rector until his retirement in 1894.

Stanton Park

Stanton Park, formerly known as Stanton Square, is a national park in Washington, D.C., United States. It is located at the intersection of Maryland Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Northeast, Washington, D.C. It is bounded by 4th Street to the west and 6th Street to the east. North and south of the park are the respective westbound and eastbound lanes of C Street, NE. The park is named after Edwin M. Stanton, the United States Secretary of War during the American Civil War, whose attempted later removal prompted the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. Located in the center of Stanton Park is a statue of American Revolutionary War Major General Nathanael Greene. The park was included in Pierre L'Enfant's original plan for the city. A playground is located in the western section of the park; a section in the eastern half is often used by dog walkers. The park is maintained by the National Park Service and as such, dogs are not allowed off-leash. "Stanton Park" is also commonly used to describe the surrounding neighborhood. There are no official boundaries, but the Stanton Park Neighborhood Association represented the area from 2nd Street, NE to 10th Street, NE, and from East Capitol Street to H Street, NE.

Stead Park

Stead Park is a 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) municipal park located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C. Among its facilities are Stead Recreation Center, located at 1625 P Street NW; a lighted basketball court; an athletic field with a 60-foot (18 m) baseball diamond; and a playground. The park and its small staff are administered by the city's Department of Parks and Recreation. Stead Park, whose property was valued at $8,659,560 in 2009, is partially funded by a private trust created by Washington architect Robert Stead (1846-1943). The park is named for Stead's wife, Mary Force Stead. The park has hosted public events such as Summer Movie Mania, an outdoor screening sponsored by the city government. Stead Park has also been used as a practice field by the Washington Renegades RFC, the first rugby union club in the United States to recruit gay men and men of color. History The portion of the park next to P Street once held 19th-century row houses. One of them, an 1878 house at 1625 P Street, was built by Henry Hurt, a Confederate Army veteran and president of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company. (Archaeological work during a 2008 renovation uncovered artifacts and brick foundations from that house and another at 1613 P Street.) In 1951, work began on Stead Park, an explicitly unsegregated recreational facility. The single-story fuel sheds from the row houses at 1621, 1623, and 1625 P Street were consolidated, expanded, and topped with a second story; this structure became the park's recreation center. The park was eventually completed at a cost of $80,000 (equivalent to $960,000 in 2025), and formally opened on November 13, 1953. In 2003, plans for a four-story, multimillion-dollar gay community center to be built on a small section of the aging park sparked a dispute among Dupont Circle residents and the Washington D.C. Center for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender People. The plans were ultimately abandoned. In 2008, the recreation center and playground were renovated. Work began in April and the park reopened on December 15. In 2022, the city began a $15.4 million renovation of the recreation center, intended as a "modernization of the existing recreation facility with an addition and to bring it up to ADA standards." The new recreation center opened in Spring 2024. Its design by VMDO Architects allowed the facility to be the first net-zero community center in the District.

The Ellipse

The Ellipse ("A Elipse", em português), oficialmente denominado President's Park South ("Parque Presidencial Sul", em português), é um parque situado em Washington, D.C., capital dos Estados Unidos. Seu formato foi determinado ainda conforme o projeto da capital apresentado a George Washington pelo engenheiro Pierre Charles L'Enfant; nele o projetista usara várias formas elementares como quadrados, círculos e triângulos e que viriam ser característica da cidade (a exemplo do Pentágono, o museu The Octagon House, o Washington Circle ou o Federal Triangle) O formato do parque foi determinado, entretanto, por volta de 1877 e provavelmente este é a maior área urbana no formato de elipse do mundo, possuindo um total de quase 17 acres (cerca de 210.000 m²). Foi concretizado sob a direção de Thomas Lincoln Casey, entre 1877 e 1880, pelo Corpo de Engenheiros do Exército e em 1933 passou a ser gerenciado pelo National Park Service. Seus focos foram determinados a partir da chamada "Pedra Meridiana", um marco histórico dos Estados Unidos que ficara ignorado até 1990 e que fazia parte do esforço de Thomas Jefferson em criar um meridiano principal que servisse de referência ao país. Em 2021 The Ellipse ganhou projeção mundial por ter sido o lugar escolhido por Donald Trump para realizar o comício no dia 6 de janeiro onde o então presidente incitou uma grande massa de seguidores a "marcharem ao Capitólio" a fim de, sob falso argumento de fraude eleitoral, interromperem a cerimônia de certificação do presidente eleito Joe Biden, e que culminou na invasão do Congresso. Histórico A área era conhecida como "White Lot e serviu de acampamento durante a Guerra de Secessão até que, em 1867, o Congresso transferiu sua posse ao Engenheiro-Chefe do Exército; em 1877, quando ocupava o posto, Thomas Lincoln Casey, então tenente-coronel, escreveu um relatório mencionando os melhoramentos da área que denominou de Grounds South of the Executive Mansion, e que utilizava o local para receber "material de refugo" de empreiteiros a fim de eliminar as irregularidades do terreno; mais tarde, em 1878, ele declarou que a "White Lot" teria o formato de elipse, sendo esta a primeira vez que a palavra surgiu para designar o lugar. O sucessor de Casey declarou em relatório que a área já era composta de um gramado e havia recebido enormes quantidades de cascalho e outros materiais descartados, o que ainda continuaria a ser feito no ano seguinte. A despeito de vários relatórios anuais dos responsáveis pela construção do parque, não se conseguiu determinar quais os parâmetros utilizados por Casey para desenhar a elipse. Referências
Première église baptiste de Washington, D.C.

La première église baptiste de Washington, D.C., en anglais First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C. est une église baptiste progressiste située au n°1328 16th Street NW à Washington, DC. Elle est membre des Églises baptistes américaines USA, de l'Alliance des baptistes, de l'Association baptiste coopérative et de l’Association des Baptistes Accueillants et Affirmants. Histoire À l'automne 1802, une église en brique de 42 pieds sur 32 pieds est achevée et inaugurée. Le pasteur William Parkinson, aumônier de la Chambre des représentants, prononce le sermon de dédicace. En 1809, le bâtiment est équipé de bancs, qui sont loués pour couvrir les dépenses. La congrégation occupe successivement cinq bâtiments sur quatre sites, dont un bâtiment sur le site de l'actuel Théâtre Ford. Elle déménage à son emplacement actuel en 1890. Les premiers services ont lieu le jour de Noël 1955. « Il y a des pierres dans ce bâtiment d'une église au Japon qui a été détruite par la première bombe atomique ; des pierres d'églises de Berlin et de Hambourg, également détruites lors de bombardements pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; et des pierres d'une église de mission en Afrique, d'une église en Argentine et de l'abbaye de Westminster et de la cathédrale Saint-Paul à Londres. Parmi les participants célèbres à travers l'histoire figurent les présidents Harry S. Truman et Jimmy Carter. Après deux services pré-inauguraux à First Baptist, le président Carter rejoint l'église le premier dimanche de sa présidence, le 23 janvier 1977, avec sa femme Rosalynn et son fils Chip. Sa fille Amy, âgée de 9 ans, est baptisée à l'église le 6 février 1977. Au cours des 48 mois de son mandat, le président Carter a assisté aux services du dimanche plus de 70 fois, selon les Archives nationales. Une fois par mois, il a enseigné à l’école du dimanche pour les couples de l'église.

Sala Vermelha (Casa Branca)

A Sala Vermelha (em inglês: Red Room) é um dos três salões de estado do primeiro andar da Casa Branca. Esta sala serve como sala de música e recentemente têm recebido jantares particulares. É tradicionalmente decorada com mobília vermelha. A sala possui aproximadamente 28 pés X 22 pés. A Sala Vermelha também possui 6 portas, das quais 2 levam para a Sala Azul e para a Sala de Jantar de Estado. Foi reformada em 2001 pela primeira-dama Hillary Clinton, que determinou que a cor deveria ser vermelho carmesim. História O desenho de Benjamin Henry Latrobe de 1803 do primeiro andar da Casa Branca indica que a sala serviu como vestíbulo para o presidente. Durante o governo de James Madison, o vestíbulo tornou-se a Yellow Drawing Room (Sala Amarela de Desenho) e serviu como sala de recepções da primeira-dama Dolley Madison. James Monroe adquiriu um mobiliário em estilo império para a Sala Vermelha, assim como ele havia planejado para a Sala Azul. Sala de Música Os Madisons, os Lincolns, os Grants e os Kennedys usaram a Sala Vermelha como sala de música e colocaram nela um piano e um violão ao lado da lareira. Uso O presidente Ulysses Grant temendo perder o poder para Rutherford B. Hayes (por causa da eleição impugnada) tomou posse secretamente nesta sala uma noite antes de sua cerimônia de posse e mais tarde usou a Sala Vermelha como sala de recepções. Eleanor Roosevelt usou a sala como local de reunião com a imprensa. Os Reagan freqüentemente usaram esta sala para fotografias oficiais com chefes de estado visitantes e os Clinton usaram a sala para pequenos jantares.
