London Town Publik House

The William Brown House, also known as London Town Publik House or Londontowne Public House, is a former Colonial tavern located in the Historic London Town and Gardens museum complex in Woodland Beach, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Completed in 1764, it is one of the best-preserved examples of a colonial-era brick tavern house. From 1828 to 1965 the structure was used as a county alms house. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. Description The William Brown House is located northeast of the Woodland Beach community in Edgewater, Maryland, at the end of Londontown Road on the south bank of South River, about four miles from Annapolis. Woodland Beach is now also known locally as Londontowne. The William Brown House is a two-story brick structure with an elevated basement, seven bays wide and three deep. The hipped roof is cut off to form a deck or terrace with a massive chimney at each end. Windows in the front (south) facade are topped by brick flat arches, while windows in the rear and ends have segmental arches. Windows are nine-over-nine sashes at the first floor and nine-over-six at the second floor. A three-bay-wide pedimented pavilion projects from the center of the main facade, containing the main entrance and approached by a flight of brick and stone steps. The house is unique in its use of all-header-bond on all four sides. The interior features a wide living hall extending from front to back, intersected at its midpoint by smaller side halls leading to doors in the ends of the house. The rear (north) portion of the hall contains a fireplace and was used as a living space, while the front portion contains the stairs. Four equal-sized rooms are located in the corners formed by the hall arrangement. There are doors in each of the four elevations. History The William Brown House was built by William Brown between 1758 and 1764. It was located on the main road connecting Williamsburg, Virginia and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The South River was crossed at that point by a ferry, which was also owned by Brown. It was part of a community of about 100 lots, of which it is the only substantial survivor. The house was an extravagance for Brown, and his debts eventually caused him to convey the house and property to the estate of James Dick, who had lent Brown the money for the house and lots. The house was acquired by the county for use as a poorhouse in 1828, a role it served until 1965. It is presently a museum, operated by the London Town Foundation.

Науковий інститут космічного телескопа

Науковий інститут космічного телескопа (англ. Space Telescope Science Institute, STScI) — є науково-оперативним центром для космічного телескопа Хаббл (HST), науковими операціями та центром місій для космічного телескопа Джеймса Вебба (JWST) і науково-оперативним центром для Римського космічного телескопа Ненсі Грейс. STScI було засновано в 1981 році як громадський науковий центр, яким керує Асоціація університетів з астрономічних досліджень (AURA) для NASA. Офіси STScI розташовані в кампусі Хоумвуд Університету Джона Гопкінса та в будівлі Ротонда в Балтіморі, штат Меріленд. На додаток до виконання постійних наукових операцій HST і підготовки до наукового дослідження з JWST і Roman, STScI керує та управляє Архівом космічних телескопів Мікульського (MAST), який зберігає дані з багатьох діючих і застарілих місій, включаючи HST, JWST, Kepler, TESS, Gaia та Pan-STARRS. Більша частина фінансування діяльності STScI надходить від контрактів із Центром космічних польотів імені Ґоддарда НАСА, але є менші заходи, які фінансуються Дослідницьким центром Еймса НАСА, Лабораторія реактивного руху НАСА та Європейським космічним агентством (ESA). Діяльність STScI STScI проводить усі дії, необхідні для вибору, планування та реалізації наукових програм космічного телескопа Хаббла. Першим кроком у цьому процесі є підтримка щорічного відбору під керівництвом громади наукових програм, які виконуватимуться з HST. Це починається з публікації щорічного конкурсу пропозицій, у якому вказуються підтримувані на даний момент можливості наукового інструменту, вимоги до пропозицій і кінцевий термін подання. Будь-хто має право подати пропозицію. Усі пропозиції критично рецензуються Комітетом з розподілу часу (TAC). TAC складається з близько 100 членів астрономічної спільноти США та міжнародної астрономічної спільноти, відібраних для представлення широкого кола дослідницьких знань, необхідних для оцінки пропозицій. Кожен цикл пропозицій зазвичай включає перегляд від 700 до 1100 пропозицій. Лише 15 - 20% цих пропозицій в кінцевому підсумку будуть відібрані для реалізації. TAC розглядає кілька категорій часу спостереження, а також пропозиції щодо архівних, теоретичних і комбінованих дослідницьких проектів між HST та іншими космічними або наземними обсерваторіями (наприклад, рентгенівська обсерваторія Чандра та Національна обсерваторія оптичної астрономії). STScI забезпечує всю технічну та матеріально-технічну підтримку цих заходів. Тривалість річного циклу дзвінків пропозицій час від часу змінювалася в роках, коли була запланована місія обслуговування HST. Примітки Посилання Офіційний веб-сайт
American Ice Company

The American Ice Company is a historic ice manufacturing plant located at 2100 West Franklin Street in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a large industrial brick building designed by Mortimer & Company and constructed by Fidelity Construction in 1910-11 for the American Ice Company, a business that manufactured and delivered ice throughout the Mid-Atlantic and South. The building is two stories, with the brick laid in American bond, and is 21 bays long. Three of those bays at one end of the building are slightly projected and topped by a stepped parapet, forming the entrance area of the building. By the 1980s, Baltimore American Ice, which had acquired American Ice in the 1960s, had switched mainly to the production of bagged ice for businesses, and dry ice for industrial clients. A two-alarm fire at Baltimore American Ice heavily damaged the rear of the facility in May 2001. On March 2, 2004, a more extensive fire destroyed recent additions to the dry ice plant, and caused severe damage to a corner of the original circa 1911 factory. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. A project to renovate the property into a mixed use event space, restaurant, concert venue, artist incubator, and community facility was set to begin in July 2019. The project never came to fruition, and as recently as 2022 the property was up for lease, auction, or sale by several real estate companies in Baltimore. Currently the site remains empty and untouched.

Cathedral of the Incarnation (Baltimore)

The Cathedral of the Incarnation is an Episcopal cathedral in the Guilford neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Maryland. In 2020, it reported 721 members, 227 average attendance, and plate and pledge income of $489,369. The cathedral reported 912 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income for the congregation in 2024 was $600,136 with average Sunday attendance (ASA) of 161. History Discussions about building a cathedral in the Diocese of Maryland took place at least as far back as the years William Paret was the bishop (1885–1911). However, it was during the episcopate of John Gardner Murray that the cathedral was built. The so-called Synod Hall was the first constructed building in the planned complex and the congregation met in the undercroft beginning in 1911. The cornerstone for the Synod Hall proper was laid in 1920 and the first worship service was held in the new space in 1932. Plans for a cathedral complex and a separate larger cathedral were then abandoned, and the Synod Hall was redesignated as the cathedral. For the first 35 years it was known as a pro-cathedral. In 1943, the Cathedral of the Incarnation was first used for the installation ceremony of a bishop, with the ninth Bishop of Maryland. After the cathedral's construction debt was discharged, the Diocese of Maryland passed a resolution establishing the Cathedral of the Incarnation on February 1, 1955, and it was consecrated on November 6, 1955. The Cathedral House, built in 1967, houses offices, meeting spaces, and Sunday School rooms.
