Mary Ann Shadd Cary House

The Mary Ann Shadd Cary House is a historic residence located at 1421 W Street, Northwest in Washington, D.C. From 1881 to 1893, it was the home of Mary Ann Shadd Cary (1823–93), a writer and abolitionist who was one of the first African American female journalists in North America, and who became one of the first black female lawyers after the American Civil War. As part of a national effort by the Afro-American Bicentennial Corporation, the house was declared a National Historic Landmark on December 8, 1976, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It also is a contributing property to the Greater U Street Historic District and the African American Heritage Trail in Washington, D.C. Description and history The Mary Ann Shadd Cary House is located on the southern fringe of Washington's Columbia Heights, on the north side of W Street between 14th Street and Florida Avenue. It is one of a series of brick row houses, probably built in the 1890s. It is a three-story home and is three bays wide, with a corbelled cornice, and projecting brick hoods around its windows. It was from 1881 to 1893 the home of Mary Ann Shadd Cary. Shadd Cary's children Sarah Cary and Linton Cary also lived here with their mother from 1881 to 1886 before moving out together to a house on 17th St. N.W. Shadd Cary was the first owner of the home and resided there until her death in 1893. Mary Ann Shadd was born a free black person in the slave state of Delaware, and was educated in Pennsylvania. Her father was active in anti-slavery circles, sheltering fugitive slaves in the family home. At first a school teacher for African American children, she and other family members left for Canada following passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Settling in Ontario, she began publishing works to inform American blacks about conditions in Canada, so that they could judge whether migration there was in their interests. This effort resulted in the founding of the Provincial Freeman, the first newspaper published by a black woman in North America, and the first by a woman in what is now Canada. After the American Civil War, she returned to the United States, where she returned to teaching and continued to be active in civil rights. She acquired a law degree in 1883.

Parc Meridian Hill

Le parc Meridian Hill (ou Meridian Hill Park) est un parc urbain situé dans le quartier de Columbia Heights et adjacent au quartier voisin d'Adams Morgan à Washington. Le parc a été conçu et construit entre 1912 et 1940. Les 12 acres (49 000 m2) du site sont aménagés et entretenus par le Service des parcs nationaux. Le parc se trouve sur une colline au nord de la Maison-Blanche. Le parc a également été officieusement connu sous le nom "Malcolm X Park" par certains habitants de la ville. Un élément central du parc Meridian Hill est la fontaine dont l'eau s'écoule en cascade dans un ensemble de bassins disposés en escalier. Cette œuvre appelée Cascading Waterfall (en) (chute d'eau en cascade) est une réalisation de John Joseph Earley (en). Le plan original du parc a été conçu par Burnap et Peaslee pour représenter un jardin à l'italienne. Des allées à motifs en béton sont bordées de bancs et d'urnes. L'aménagement paysager moderne a été conçu par les architectes paysagistes Vitale, Brinckerhoff et Geiffert de New York. Dans le passé, les jardins de cette envergure étaient généralement réservés aux aristocrates ce qui n'est pas le cas du parc Meridian Hill, accessible à tous. Statues Comme dans la plupart des parcs de Washington, on y retrouve un certain nombre de sculptures et dont certaines se rattachent à la statutaire. On peut ainsi y observer une statue équestre de Jeanne d'Arc, un cadeau des "Dames de France en exil à New York" en 1922. Il s'agit d'une copie en bronze d'une statue réalisée en 1889 par Paul Dubois, l'original se trouvant à la cathédrale de Reims en France. La statue du poète italien Dante Alighieri vêtu de la robe d'un savant, une sculpture en bronze réalisée par Ettore Ximenes. Le mémorial de James Buchanan, le 15e président des États-Unis, sculpté par Hans Schuler (en) et inauguré en 1930 est aujourd'hui le seul mémorial à Washington à rendre hommage à cet ancien président américain ou encore la sculpture nommée Serenity par le sculpteur Josep Clarà, dédiée à la mémoire du lieutenant-commandant William Henry Scheutze.

Meridian Mansions

Meridian Mansions, also known as The Envoy, is a historic structure located in the Meridian Hill neighborhood in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. A.H. Sonnemann was the architect for what was considered the city's finest apartment hotel when it opened in 1918. The building has been home to members of Congress and diplomats over the years. The lobby contains marble columns and elaborate ornamental molding. At one time the building featured roof pavilions and lamp standards, which were removed around 1963. It was renovated in 1981 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The building is most notable due to its connection to the establishment of Czechoslovakia as an independent nation. Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the founder and first President of Czechoslovakia, resided here between July and November 1918. The first Czechoslovak national flag to be created was flown from the building on October 18, 1918. References External links Media related to The Envoy at Wikimedia Commons
Montrose Park

Montrose Park is a public park owned by the federal government, located in the 3000 block of R Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Georgetown neighborhood. It is located between Dumbarton Oaks Park and Oak Hill Cemetery. Both Montrose Park and Dumbarton Oaks Park were jointly listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 1967. Montrose Park obtained an individual listing in 2007. In addition to a large children's play area in the back of the park, there are two sets of tennis courts, as well as open space with footwalks and trails that lead into Rock Creek Park. History The property was early owned by ropemaker Robert Parrott, who allowed the community to use it as a picnic ground. Sarah Louisa Rittenhouse successfully led a group to lobby Congress to acquire the property as an addition to Rock Creek Park. The park was established in 1911 "after a hard-fought battle" in Congress. To honor Rittenhouse's efforts to make the Parrott property a park rather than a housing development, an "armillary sphere" was created in her honor through fundraising efforts by Washington, DC, hostesses. In 1914, the federal Office of Public Buildings and Grounds hired George Burnap and Horace Peaslee to develop plans for Montrose Park to keep its ambience that of a large country estate, including a network of paths, an entrance ellipse, a pergola, and a lodge. When that office was abolished in 1933, the National Park Service took over managing the park. Ten years later, a Cultural Landscape Report was published as the preferred treatment document for the park. A service group, the Friends of Montrose Park, assists the Park Service in maintaining and restoring the park as outlined in that report. The park retains a 500 ft (0.15 km)-long ropewalk that was used from 1804 to 1814.

Cooper Field

Cooper Field, formerly known as Harbin Field and Multi-Sport Field, is a 4,418-seat multi-purpose stadium in Washington, D.C., on the campus of Georgetown University. The field was originally used for intramurals and was adopted for soccer in 1994 as Harbin Field. The name was changed to "Multi-Sport Field", a placeholder pending final construction, to reflect the football team's use of the field starting in 2003. In 2015, Georgetown changed the name to Cooper Field in honor of a $50 million gift from Georgetown football parents Peter and Susan Cooper which funded athletic leadership programs at Georgetown and construction upgrades to the field. Unfinished construction The field has been awaiting further construction since 2005, when work was halted on completing permanent bleachers and other facilities. As a result, it remains the smallest stadium in all of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision or Football Championship subdivisions. During the 2018 and 2019 seasons, attendance was reduced to 1,800 pending ongoing construction. Several of the school athletics teams play home games there, including the Hoyas football team, the men's and women's lacrosse teams, the women's field hockey team, and the Georgetown University Rugby Football Club. The professional Washington Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse used the field for most of their games during the 2007 season. Lights were installed on the field in early 2009. The surface is artificial, made of FieldTurf. See also List of NCAA Division I FCS football stadiums References External links Official website

National Capitol Columns

The National Capitol Columns are a monument in Washington, D.C.'s National Arboretum. It is an arrangement of twenty-two Corinthian columns that were a part of the United States Capitol from 1828 to 1958, placed amid 20 acres (8.1 ha) of open meadow, known as the Ellipse Meadow. Original use The columns were quarried from sandstone near Aquia Creek in Virginia and transported to Washington on a barge. Old identification marks from the quarry are still visible on some stones. They were originally built as part of the east portico of the Capitol in 1828, long before the familiar Capitol dome was completed. However, when the dome was completed in 1866, it appeared inadequately supported by the columns because the iron dome was significantly larger than the dome that the designer envisioned. To correct this visual illusion, an addition to the east side of the Capitol was constructed in 1958, and the columns were removed. Transfer to Arboretum During the 1980s, Arboretum benefactor Ethel Garrett took up the cause of establishing a permanent home for the columns. Russell Page, a landscape designer and close friend of Garrett's, visited the Arboretum in September 1984, only months before his death. He determined that the east side of the Ellipse Meadow would be an ideal location, as the columns would be in scale with the more than 20 acres (8.1 ha) of open meadow available at the site. The columns were relocated to this site and set on a foundation of stones from the steps that were initially on the east side of the Capitol. A reflecting pool, fed by a small rivulet of water running down a channel in the steps, reflects the columns and provides sound and movement. A capital, or top portion, of one of the columns is located elsewhere in the meadow so that visitors can see the detail that the stone carver incorporated into the design. Acanthus leaves are clearly visible, and the many layers of paint applied while the column was in place at the Capitol are visible on portions of the stone. Two missing columns Only 22 of the original 24 columns stand in the Ellipse Meadow. The remaining two columns are damaged and rest at the summit of Mount Hamilton, inside the Arboretum's Azalea Collection. Both are cracked in half, and neither has a base or capital.
