McKinley Bridge

McKinley Bridge – stalowy most, zbudowany techniką kratownicową, łączący północną część Saint Louis w stanie Missouri z Venice w stanie Illinois zaprojektowany przez amerykańskiego konstruktora polskiego pochodzenia Rudolfa Modrzejewskiego. Opis Most wykonany jest techniką kratownicową z sześciu stalowych kratownic wspartych na ośmiu przęsłach. Jego całkowita długość wynosi prawie 2 kilometry (1924 metry – 6313 stóp). Historia Konstruktorem mostu był polski inżynier Rudolf Modrzejewski, syn aktorki Heleny Modrzejewskiej. Most został oddany do użytku w 1910 łącząc miasta Saint Louis i Venice, leżące w dwóch amerykańskich stanach Missouri oraz Illinois. Kiedy w 1926 powstał system autostrad w USA, most McKinley pełnił ważną funkcję komunikacyjną na sławnej autostradzie Route 66 biegnącej przez rzekę Missisipi i łączącej ze sobą wschodnie i zachodnie stany Ameryki. Przez dekady stanowił on ważny węzeł komunikacyjny dla ruchu kołowego oraz kolejowego. Od 30 grudnia 2001 most został zamknięty dla ruchu i przechodził konserwację. Poddano go również pracom remontowym i modernizacyjnym. Został otwarty uroczyście dla ruchu pieszego oraz rowerowego 17 listopada 2007, a od grudnia 2007 otwarto go również dla ruchu kołowego. Według danych statystycznych dziennie za jego pomocą rzekę Missisipi przekracza od 10 000 do 14 000 pojazdów.

Villa McPike

Villa McPike, o Mount Lookout, è una villa che si trova a Alton, nella regione Metro-East dell'area metropolitana di Greater St. Louis, nello stato americano dell'Illinois. Costruita nel 1869 da Henry Guest McPike (1825–1910), è situata su Alby Street su un terreno di 15 acri (61 000 m²), uno dei punti più alti di Alton, che passato veniva chiamato Mount Lookout. Storia La costruzione della villa iniziò nel 1869 ad opera dell'architetto Lucas Pfeiffenberger. In quell'anno, il Rulander di McPike fu considerato uno dei migliori in termini di qualità in una mostra dell'associazione "Coltivatori d'uva della Mississippi Valley". McPike fu sindaco di Alton e un importante imprenditore locale, attivo e ben visto nel settore immobiliare e nella produzione di scatole. Fu anche bibliotecario della Alton-Southern Illinois Horticultural Society alla fine degli anni 1880. Morì nel 1910. Nel 1925 la villa fu acquistata da un uomo chiamato Paul A. Laichinger, che affittò stanze ad altri e vi abitò fino alla sua morte, avvenuta nel 1945. Successivamente la villa rimase abbandonata per anni e si pensò di demolirla e di convertire il terreno in un centro commerciale, ma il progetto non è stato realizzato per problemi di zonizzazione. Nel frattempo, la casa venne saccheggiata di ciò che era rimasto al suo interno, compresi gli arredi, le ringhiere in legno e perfino i bagni, diventando vittima di vandalismo e negligenza. La struttura venne inserita nel Registro Nazionale dei Luoghi Storici il 17 giugno 1980, ma rimase abbandonata per molti anni, prima di essere acquistata da Sharyn e George Luedke in un'asta nel 1994. Avevano intenzione di trasformare la villa in un hotel, ma non sono riuscirono ad ottenere i fondi per il restauro da nessuna agenzia federale, statale o locale. Nonostante ciò, i Luedke riuscirono a effettuare un processo di restauro, finanziato da donazioni e visite guidate. Nel 2017, la Commissione storica di Alton conferì loro un premio per il lavoro svolto nella conservazione del portico anteriore e della veranda. Infestazione fantasma Secondo il proprietario, la villa sarebbe infestata dal fantasma di un ex proprietario e di un ex domestico. Spesso fa parte dei numerosi tour su edifici infestati della zona. Architettura e terreno La villa fu completata nel 1871. Si tratta di un edificio di tre piani in mattoni rossi e bianchi, con colonnine bianche che sostengono il portico. Contiene 16 stanze e una cantina a volta. Nei media Televisione La villa McPike è stata protagonista di un episodio di Ghost Adventures intitolato "McPike Mansion", trasmesso come speciale nel 2019 su Travel Channel . Un team di investigatori del paranormale ha esplorato la casa e la sua proprietà, che si dice sia infestata dai suoi ex abitanti. La struttura è apparsa anche nella serie Scariest Places on Earth . È stata anche presentata nella stagione 1, episodio 7 di Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files e in un episodio di Ghost Lab .

Merchants Bridge

The Merchants Bridge, officially the Merchants Memorial Mississippi Rail Bridge, is a rail bridge crossing the Mississippi River between St. Louis, Missouri, and Venice, Illinois. The bridge is owned by the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis. It opened in May 1889 and crosses the river 3 miles (5 km) north of the Eads Bridge. History The bridge was originally built by the St. Louis Merchants Exchange after it lost control of the Eads Bridge it had built to the Terminal Railroad. The Exchange feared a Terminal Railroad monopoly on the bridges but it would eventually lose control of the Merchants Bridge also. In 2018 work began on an extensive renovation of the bridge projected to cost $172 million, which was completed in September 2022. The project involved completely replacing the three main bridge spans, and encasing the masonry piers to seismically retrofit them. Prior to the reconstruction, the bridge's capacity was roughly 32 trains per day, with only one train traveling at 5 miles per hour able to cross the bridge at a time. Following the renovation, the capacity was 70 trains per day, with two trains able to pass each other simultaneously at up to 20 miles per hour (32 km/h). In addition, the allowable train width increased from about 13.5 ft (4.1 m) to 15 ft (4.6 m), and the railcar weight capacity increased from 286,000 lb (130,000 kg) to 315,000 lb (143,000 kg). The final cost of the project was $222 million. See also List of crossings of the Upper Mississippi River References
Puente Merchants

El puente Merchants, oficialmente puente ferroviario Conmemorativo Merchants de Misisipi, es un viaducto ferroviario que cruza el río Misisipi entre San Luis (Misuri) y Venice (Illinois). Es propiedad de la Asociación de Ferrocarriles Terminales de San Luis. Se inauguró en mayo de 1889 y cruza el río 3 millas (5 km) al norte del puente Eads.​ Historia El puente fue construido originalmente por la "Merchants Exchange of St. Louis" (Bolsa de Comerciantes de San Luis) después de que perdiera el control del puente Eads, que había construido, a manos del Ferrocarril Terminal. La Bolsa temía un monopolio del Ferrocarril Terminal sobre los puentes, pero finalmente también perdió el control del puente Merchants. En 2018, comenzaron las obras de una extensa renovación del puente, con un costo proyectado de 172 millones de dólares,​ que se completó en septiembre de 2022.​ El proyecto incluyó el reemplazo completo de los tres tramos principales del puente y el revestimiento de los pilares de mampostería con un refuerzo antisísmico.​ Antes de la reconstrucción, la capacidad del puente era de aproximadamente 32 trenes por día, y solo podían pasar trenes sin cruzarse en el puente circulando a 5 millas. Después de la renovación, la capacidad pasó a ser de 70 trenes por día, y dos trenes podían cruzarse simultáneamente a una velocidad máxima de 20 millas por hora (32,2 km/h).​​ Además, el ancho permitido del tren aumentó de aproximadamente 13,5 pies (4,1 m) a 15 pies (4,6 m), y el peso de los vagones aumentó de 286 000 libras (129 727,3 kg) a 315 000 libras (142 881,5 kg). El costo final de la obra fue de 222 millones de dólares.​ Véase también George S. Morison Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Puente Merchants.
Mercy Home for Boys and Girls

Mercy Home for Boys & Girls is an American privately funded childcare and residential home for abused, homeless and neglected children or children struggling with family issues, in Illinois. History Founded in 1887 in Chicago by Fr. Louis Campbell, a Chicago priest, the shelter's original mission was to house homeless, orphaned, and abandoned boys in and around the Chicago area. Under the initial guidance of the Archdiocese of Chicago, a struggling orphanage became a boys' home under the name of the Mission of our Lady of Mercy. Mercy Home began accepting girls in 1987. Three years later, it was renamed Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. Mercy Home is composed of two separate campuses where abused and neglected children are cared for—the Boys' Campus, located in Chicago's West Loop area, and the Girls' Campus, located south, in Chicago's Morgan Park community. Today, abused and neglected children (both boys and girls) are assisted by one of Mercy Home's fourteen residential programs. Leadership Fr. Scott Donahue, President of Mercy Home, came to the agency in 1990 when then-President, Fr. James J. Close, invited him to assist in Mercy Home's mission. A renowned activist, philanthropist, author [1], and civic leader [2], Fr. Close served as Mercy Home's president for thirty-three years. Three years later, Fr. Donahue became Mercy Home's associate president. In 2006, Fr. Donahue became President of Mercy Home after Fr. Close retired in April. Certification and accreditation Mercy Home is a licensed 501(c)(3) childcare institution and child welfare agency and accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Children and Families (COA). Since Mercy Home is not federally funded, over 98% of Mercy Home's funding comes from private resources. Locations West Loop Boys' Campus: 1140 W.
