Gramado Sul (Casa Branca)

O Gramado Sul (em inglês: South Lawn) ou Jardim Sul é o jardim em torno da fachada sul da Casa Branca, sendo uma das vistas mais famosas da residência ianque. O Jardim Sul proporcionava uma vista do National Mall e do Jefferson Memorial e era aberto ao público até a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Hoje é reservado a cerimônias de estado. Gramado Quando a Casa Branca ocupou primeiramente este local em 1800, o Jardim Sul era um prado que descendia de um pântano. Thomas Jefferson concluiu o Jardim Sul acrescentando pequenas colinas de grama natural com a ajuda do arquiteto Benjamin Henry Latrobe. Jefferson também executou um arco triunfal na entrada sudoeste da Casa Branca. Anteriormente, Pierre-Charles L'Enfant planejou para a cidade de Washington em 1793 um jardins naquele pântano. Mais tarde, em 1850, o paisagista Andrew Jackson Davis tentou amenizar a geometria do plano de L'Enfant incorporando um contorno semicircular sul e trilhas sinuosas. As mudanças de Andrew Jackson incluiam a ampliação do Gramado Sul criando um grande gramado circular que ele chamou President's Park e também a inclusão de mais arbustos e árvores. Durante a administração de Ulysses S. Grant a área pantanosa foi drenada e o Gramado Sul recebeu mais de 8 a 10 pés de altura. Ainda no governo de Rutherford B. Hayes e até o governo de Grover Cleveland, o Corpo de Engenharia do Exército dos Estados Unidos foi engarregado de solucionar de vez os problemas de drenagem no Gramado Sul, reduzindo a área circular e criando a forma que ele apresenta até hoje. Theodore Roosevelt que iniciou a reforma da Casa Branca em 1902, foi influenciado a remover as estufas vitorianas e construiu a Colunata Oeste e posteriormente a Ala Oeste. Em 1934, o presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt recomendou mudanças para Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. Olmsted compreendeu a necessidade de privacidade aos presidentes e suas famílias. O plano de Olmsted apresentou o estilo que se mantém até hoje: o plantio de árvores e arbustos nas laterais para permitir maior privacidade ao presidente. O gramado é tradicionalmente plantado com a espécie Festuca arundinacea. Jardins e outras instalações No Gramado Sul existem dois jardins cerimoniais da Casa Branca: o Jardim Jacqueline Kennedy e o Rose Garden, este último em frente ao Salão Oval. O Gramado Sul também abriga uma piscina, um mini campo de Golfe, um quadra de Tênis e um playground, além de uma quadra de Basquete. Ver também Gramado Norte Referências
German-American Friendship Garden

Der German-American Friendship Garden (deutsch Deutsch-amerikanischer Freundschaftsgarten) befindet sich in Washington, D.C. in den Vereinigten Staaten. Er liegt an der 1600 Constitution Avenue zwischen dem Weißen Haus und dem Washington Monument. Der Garten soll die Erinnerung an die ersten deutschen Einwanderer in die USA wachhalten. 1683 waren 13 deutsche Mennoniten-Familien aus Krefeld nach Amerika ausgewandert und gründeten in der Folge Germantown in Philadelphia. Der Garten wurde von Wolfgang Oehme und James van Sweden entworfen, die auch die Pflanzen stifteten. Den Kern des Gartens bildet ein Eichbaum, den der deutsche Bundespräsident Karl Carstens 1983 zu Beginn der Bauarbeiten pflanzte. Eine Steinplakette im Boden erinnert mit den Jahreszahlen „1683-1983“ an die damals 300-jährige Geschichte der deutschen Einwanderer. Die offizielle Einweihung erfolgte erst 1988 durch Hannelore Kohl und den damaligen USIA-Direktor Charles Z. Wick, während Helmut Kohl und Ronald Reagan im Weißen Haus weilten. 2013 begannen umfangreiche Renovierungsarbeiten, die Anfang 2014 abgeschlossen wurden. Quellen Stefan Leppert: Ornamental Grasses.

German-American Friendship Garden

The German-American Friendship Garden on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. is a symbol of the positive and cooperative relations between the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany. Situated within the Washington Monument grounds on the historic axis between the Jefferson Pier and the White House (see White House meridian), the garden borders Constitution Avenue Northwest between 15th and 17th Streets Northwest, where an estimated seven million visitors pass each year. The garden features plants native to both Germany and the United States and provides seating and cooling fountains. History Commissioned to commemorate the 300th anniversary of German immigration to America, the garden was dedicated on November 15, 1988. As noted by President Ronald Reagan, who created the Presidential Commission to complete work on the project after a 1982 visit to Washington by German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, ... I'm proud to announce a product of that commission: the dedication of a garden here in Washington as a symbol of the friendship between our two countries. In a few months, I'll be leaving the White House, but the garden, and all it represents, will remain, to be nurtured and sustained by the friendship between Germans and Americans ... The Friendship Garden restoration was launched in 2013 under a joint memorandum signed by the German Embassy, the National Park Service, and the Association of German-American Societies of Greater Washington D.C. The memorandum activated a trust fund whose income is to be used for the upkeep of the Garden. Perennial beds and other native plants and flowers were planted and revitalized. A new irrigation system was installed. The central square panel of the Friendship Garden was also restored and partly redesigned. The entire project followed the original design of the late German-born landscape artist Wolfgang Oehme, and was carried out under the guidance of the landscaping company Oehme van Sweden.

Frances Perkins House

The Frances Perkins House is a historic house at 2326 California Street NW in Washington, D.C. Built in 1914, it was from 1937 to 1940 the home of Frances Perkins (1880-1965), the first woman to serve in the United States Cabinet. Perkins was the Secretary of Labor under president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and was a major force in advancing his New Deal agenda. This house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1991. Description and history The Frances Perkins House is located in Washington's Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood, on the south side of California Street roughly midway between 23rd and 24th Streets. It is the right hand side of two identical brick townhouses, which were originally built as mirror images of each other. They are three bays wide, with entrance in the outer bays, with segmented-arch transom windows and shallow pedimented porticos with engaged Ionic columns. Second-floor windows are set in rounded-arch openings, while the mansarded third floor has dormers with gabled and segmented-arch pediments. The interior of the Perkins House retains high quality woodwork, particularly in the main parlor. The house was built in 1914, and was from 1937 to 1940 home to Frances Perkins. She served as Roosevelt's Labor Secretary from 1933 until 1945, the only one of his cabinet appointees to serve through all of his terms. Prior to this high-profile role, she had been active in improving working conditions and pay for the working classes, and as Secretary of Labor, she was instrumental in pushing for many elements of the New Deal. In addition to temporary measures such as the Public Works Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps, she also helped draft legislation creating Social Security. Of the residences she occupied while in the post, this is one she lived in the longest.

Honfleur Gallery

Honfleur Gallery located on Good Hope Road in the Anacostia Historic District neighborhood of Washington, D.C., is a gallery that was established in January 2007 by the Action to Rehabilitate Community Housing group. The art gallery opened amid concerns of whether an art gallery was what the neighborhood needed. By 2014, seven years after its formal opening, local residents were apparently still divided over the impact or reason for the art gallery in the neighborhood. "The neighborhood, long synonymous with urban blight, is an unconventional choice for a swanky art gallery," asserted a 2014 Washington Post article on the gallery. Critical reception Exhibitions at the gallery have been widely reviewed over the years by local newspapers, fine arts websites, and art blogs. References External links Honfleur Gallery
