Lake Artemesia

Lake Artemesia is an artificial lake in Prince George's County, Maryland, located within the Lake Artemesia Natural Area in College Park and Berwyn Heights. The lake covers an area of 38 acres (0.15 km2), and the surrounding natural area is administered by Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and includes aquatic gardens, fishing piers, and hiker-biker trails. The lake, located between Indian Creek and Paint Branch, was constructed during the late-1980s completion of the Washington Metro's Green Line, which runs alongside the lake. Sand and gravel were excavated from the site of a smaller lake and the surrounding area to construct the rail beds and parking lots for the College Park–University of Maryland and Greenbelt stations. Metro saved $10 million by sourcing the material locally and in return spent $8 million constructing the lake and natural area to repair the excavation damage. During the construction phase, signs identified the site as "Lake Metro." The park is named for Artemesia N. Drefs, who donated ten lots to the county for preservation as open space in 1972. The smaller lake that existed on the site, which was created in the mid-1800s when stone was quarried from the area for use on the B&O Railroad's Washington Branch line, was already named Lake Artemesia after Artemesia's mother and grandmother, who shared the same name. Drefs's father, Arthur, surveyed the land for his Lakeland development in the 1890s; according to Drefs, the pre-existing lake was originally used to raise goldfish, but was later stocked with bass. The 1.35 mile hiker-biker trail around the lake is part of the Anacostia Tributary Trail System and East Coast Greenway. The site of Lake Artemesia Park was once home to about one third of the Lakeland community, an African-American community which became part of College Park, Maryland in 1945.

Артемезія

Озеро Артемезія (англ. Artemesia) — штучне озеро в окрузі принца Георга, Меріленд, США, розташоване в межах природної території озера Артемезія в містах Колледж-Парк та Бервін-Гайтс. Озеро займає площу 150 000 м², а прилегла природна зона, якою управляє Комісія з парків і планування національної столиці Меріленда, включає водні сади, пірси для риболовлі та пішохідно-велосипедні доріжки. Озеро, що лежить між Індіан-Крик та Пейнт-Бранч, створили наприкінці 1980-х років під час завершення будівництва Зеленої лінії метро Вашингтона, яка пролягає вздовж озера. Пісок і гравій видобували на місці менших озер і навколишньої території для будівництва колій і парковок для станцій Коледж Парк — Університет Меріленду і Грінбелт. Завдяки використанню місцевих матеріалів метро зекономило 10 мільйонів доларів і натомість витратило 8 мільйонів на будівництво озера та природної зони для відновлення пошкодженої ділянки. Під час будівництва ділянка була позначена як «Озеро Метро». Парк названий на честь Артемезії Дрефс, яка у 1972 році подарувала округу десять ділянок землі для збереження як відкритий простір. Менше озеро, яке раніше існувало на цьому місці, створене в середині 1800-х років під час видобутку каменю для будівництва лінії Вашингтонського відділення залізниці B&O, і вже мало назву озеро Артемезія на честь матері та бабусі Артемезії, які мали таке саме ім'я. Батько Дрефс, Артур, здійснив обмір земель для розвитку свого проєкту Лейкленд у 1890-х роках; за словами Дрефс, первісне озеро спочатку використовувалося для вирощування золотих рибок, але пізніше там розвели окуня. Пішохідно-велосипедна доріжка довжиною 2,17 км. навколо озера є частиною системи доріжок приток Анакостії та Зеленої дороги східного узбережжя. На місці парку озера Артемезія раніше була третина спільноти Лейкленд, афроамериканської спільноти, яка стала частиною Коледж-Парку, штат Меріленд у 1945 році. Примітки

Laurel station (MARC)

Laurel station is a MARC Train station in Laurel, Maryland, served by the Camden Line. Station The Laurel railroad station was originally constructed in 1884 for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad along the railroad's Washington Branch, about halfway between Baltimore and Washington, DC. The architect was E. Francis Baldwin. The structure is constructed of brick, and is one and a half stories, modified rectangle in form with overhanging gabled and hipped roof sections with brackets and terra cotta cresting, and an interior chimney. There is a louvered lunette in one gable, stick work in another, and fish-scale shingling under truncated hipped section; shed shelter, segmental arched openings. It is Queen Anne in style. It is nearly identical in plan and dimensions to the Gaithersburg, Maryland station Baldwin designed, also built in 1884, although the rooflines and settings are quite different. Laurel station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, (although one source claims it was 1972) and was reopened as a MARC station when the Camden Line was established. A fire gutted the interior of the station and damaged its roof and brick walls in January 1992. In February 2009, Vice President Joe Biden, Governor Martin O'Malley, and Senator Ben Cardin gave a speech at Laurel station to gain support for an economic stimulus package in Congress that would provide funding to rebuild the station platform, among many other Maryland infrastructure projects. The funding bill passed and by mid-March, construction fencing went up for an anticipated six months of work on a new platform and other station improvement. Station layout The station has two side platforms and a station house adjacent to the southbound platform. The station is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
