Phoenix Shot Tower

La Phoenix Shot Tower est une tour située à Baltimore (Maryland, États-Unis). Haute de 65,5 mètres, ce fut la plus haute structure des États-Unis, de sa construction en 1828 à celle de la Trinity Church à New York en 1846. À l'origine, elle fut une tour à plomb qui servit à la fabrication de grenaille pour la Merchant's Shot Tower Company jusqu'à la faillite de cette dernière en 1898. Le principe de fabrication consiste à laisser couler des fines gouttelettes de plomb fondu du haut de la tour et de les faire tomber dans un bac d'eau froide situé au bas de la tour. La chute donne une forme sphérique aux gouttelettes et le plomb se solidifie instantanément au contact de l'eau ce qui fait apparaître les balles en plomb. La production continua néanmoins jusqu'en 1892, avant que de nouvelles techniques de fabrication la rendent obsolète, bien qu'elle reprît temporairement service au début du XXe siècle. En 1921, la tour fut rachetée par l'Union Oil Company (aujourd'hui Unocal Corporation) qui avait pour projet de la détruire et de la remplacer par une station-service. Après une forte opposition de la population et une collecte de fonds, la tour fut finalement revendue à la municipalité de Baltimore en 1928 bien que le permis de démolir ait été accordé auparavant. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste plus que onze tours à plomb aux États-Unis, la Phoenix Shot Tower est d'ailleurs classée National Historic Landmark. Successivement, elle prit les noms de Phoenix Shot Tower, puis Merchants Shot Tower et enfin Old Baltimore Shot Tower.

Phoenix Shot Tower

De Phoenix Shot Tower, ook bekend als de Old Baltimore Shot Tower, is een voormalige loodtoren in het oude centrum van Baltimore, Maryland. De toren, opgetrokken uit rode bakstenen, was van essentieel belang gedurende de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Door deze toren werd het leger gedurende de burgeroorlog minder afhankelijk van kogels uit Nederland en Frankrijk. De toren is aangewezen als National Historic Landmark. De toren werd ontworpen om 100.000 zakken met "shot" (loden kogels) te maken. De kogels werden gemaakt door vanaf de top van de toren vloeibaar lood naar beneden te laten vallen. Door frictie met de lucht wordt het vloeibare lood afgerond en lande al afgekoeld als solide ballen op de grond onderin de toren. In september 1887 brak er brand uit in de toren. Hierbij brandde de gehele binnenkant af. Na enige tijd werd de toren heropend, echter door de inefficiënte werkwijze sloot de fabriek in 1892 haar deuren.

Carroll Park

Carroll Park is a nearly 117-acre (47 ha) public park located in the historic Washington Village-Pigtown neighborhood in southwestern Baltimore, Maryland. The park is bordered by Washington Boulevard to the south, Monroe Street to the west, Bayard Street to the east, and the Mount Clare Branch of the Baltimore Terminal Subdivision railroad to the north. The park also extends westward beyond the Montgomery Ward Warehouse and Retail Store to include the Carroll Park Golf Course. History Acquired by the City of Baltimore in 1890, Carroll Park is Baltimore's third oldest urban park. The park's namesake comes from the historic Carroll family, who owned the property surrounding Mount Clare Mansion. After the Carrolls left Mount Clare in 1840, German immigrants leased the land for private use, using the name Schuetzen Park. Once under city ownership, the property was landscaped for public use by the Olmsted Brothers. The Carroll Park Golf Course is notable for being one of the first golf courses racially integrated in 1951 due to civilian protests. Carroll Park features the historic Mount Clare Museum House, a golf course, basketball courts, baseball fields, and a skate-park.

Schumaker Pond

Schumaker Pond is a 35-acre pond created by damming Beaverdam Creek, in Wicomico County, Maryland. The pond is owned by the City of Salisbury and is on the eastern end of the Salisbury City Park. The maximum water depth is 5 feet near the dam, in the old creek channel. In the 1950s and 1960s, Schumaker Pond was popular for swimming, but swimming has since been banned due to the large quantities of E. coli bacteria in the water. Since then, the pond is often used for fishing. The dam is located on Beaverdam Creek approximately 1.5 miles downstream from Parker Pond within the Wicomico River drainage basin. Aquatic life Hydrilla verticillata has been documented in the pond since 1990 and typically reaches 100% coverage. Nine species of fish have been identified in the pond: Largemouth bass Bluegill sunfish Creek chubsucker Golden shiner Pumpkinseed sunfish Chain pickerel Black crappie Brown bullhead American eel References 38°20′57″N 75°33′56″W
B'er Chayim Temple

B'er Chayim Temple (transliterated from Hebrew as "Well of Life", a metaphor in which Torah is likened to water) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Cumberland, Maryland, in the United States. As of 2008, B'er Chayim counted approximately 50 families as members. B'er Chayim is the oldest synagogue building in continuous use as a synagogue in Maryland and the sixth oldest in the United States. Clergy and leadership Jessica Roskin is the spiritual leader of B’er Chayim since July 2024.A native of North Miami Beach, FL, Cantor Roskin graduated from Indiana University with degrees in music and religious studies and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. She was ordained in 1994. Prior to joining B’er Chayim, Cantor Roskin served as interim cantor at Temple Beth El in Charlotte, NC and at Temple Emanu-El in Birmingham, AL for 20 years. Brian Lang serves as President of B'er Chayim. Religious services and programs Shabbat services are held Friday evening. Services and celebrations of Jewish holidays, such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Chanukah, are held throughout the year. History The first Jewish resident recorded in Cumberland dates to 1816. Twelve Jewish families were living in Cumberland, which then had a population of 6,150, in 1853 when congregation B'er Chayim was chartered by the Maryland state legislature. The congregation was Orthodox when the temple was built, although it is now a Reform congregation. Between 1865 and 1867, the congregation built a two-story, Greek Revival synagogue building on the corner of South Centre and Union Streets. The building cost $7,427.02 to construct. The facade is ornamented with four pilasters, a handsome pediment, and four very un-Greek Rundbogenstil, or round-arched, windows. The building was constructed by local builder John B. Walton. Prayers and sermons were originally held in German, rather than Hebrew. Beth Jacob Synagogue, which was also located in Cumberland, merged with B'er Chayim Temple in 1996. In 2011, the synagogue underwent renovation. The brickwork's mortar was redone, the wrought iron gates outside the entrance were restored, improved the interior, and made the synagogue wheelchair-accessible. The synagogue's building was reopened on August 17, 2014, and the synagogue was rededicated on November 7, 2014. The Cumberland Historic Preservation Board gave an award to B'er Chayim for the synagogue's restoration.

Paca House and Garden

The William Paca House (at one time known as Carvel Hall) is an 18th-century Georgian mansion in Annapolis, Maryland, United States. Founding Father William Paca was a signatory of the Declaration of Independence and a three-term Governor of Maryland. The house was built between 1763 and 1765 and its architecture was largely designed by Paca himself. The 2-acre (8,100 m2) walled garden, which includes a two-story summer house, has been restored to its original state. The William Paca House and Garden was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The original one-story office and kitchen pavilions, and their connecting hyphens, were altered in the 19th century with the house's conversion to a hotel, by a second story added to the hyphens and the west wing. These changes have since been reversed, and the building approximates its original outward appearance, both inside and out. History In 1780, Paca sold the house to Thomas Jenings, the attorney general of Maryland. Carvel Hall Hotel The house and grounds were eventually acquired by the Annapolis Hotel Corporation, and the house became the lobby and conference rooms for the Carvel Hall Hotel, which was constructed in the garden immediately to the rear. The hotel opened in 1901 with two-hundred guest rooms. But, by 1964, a mixed-use development was proposed for the site that would have demolished the house and the hotel, putting high rises in its place. Restoration After the plans to demolish Carvel Hall became public, the house was acquired by Historic Annapolis, Inc. (later the Historic Annapolis Foundation, or HAF), and the surrounding property (garden) was acquired by the State of Maryland in 1965. The additions were removed in 1966-67 by architects including Orin M. Bullock Jr., and ownership was transferred to the Maryland Historical Trust. The property is administered by Historic Annapolis Foundation, and is open to the public for guided tours of the house and self-guided garden year round. Description The Paca House is a Georgian five-part house. The brick structure comprises a central 2+1⁄2-story block on an elevated basement, flanked by symmetrical 1+1⁄2-story end pavilions, connected to the central structure by 1+1⁄2-story hyphens. The interior is a center hall plan with two rooms on either side of the hall. Original woodwork remains only in the central hall, stair hall and the west parlor, including the stair's original Chinese Chippendale balustrade.
