Phare d'Absecon

Le phare d'Absecon (en anglais : Absecon Lighthouse), est un phare situé à l'extrémité nord d'Atlantic City dans le comté d'Atlantic, New Jersey. Il a été mis hors service en 1933 et réactivé en 1997 à titre privé par la Inlet Public-Private Association . Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 25 janvier 1971 sous le n° 71000462 . Historique Ce phare surplombe le grau d'Absecon (en) et il est le plus haut phare de l'État du New Jersey et le troisième plus haut phare en maçonnerie des États-Unis. La construction a commencé en 1854 et mis en service le 15 janvier 1857. Le phare a été désactivé en 1933 et, bien que la lumière brille toujours chaque nuit depuis 1997, il n'est plus une aide à la navigation active. Le phare Absecon a été conçu par George Meade et conserve toujours sa lentille de Fresnel fixe de premier ordre d'origine. La lentille est faite de verre au plomb et pèse 12 800 livres (5 800 kg). Jack Boucher (en), un photographe américain du National Park Service, a conçu et supervisé la préservation du phare en 1964. Maintenant Le phare est ouvert à la visite du public et, pour un petit don, on peut monter jusqu'à la lanterne et à la galerie extérieure. Un des quartiers des gardiens a été ouvert en 2002 et sert de musée et de boutique de cadeaux. Le bâtiment à carburant d'origine contient maintenant une exposition de lentille de Fresnel. En plus des visites scolaires et de groupe, le phare d'Absecon propose un programme de nuit pour les scouts, un programme d'arts l'hiver pour les enfants et une grande variété d'événements spéciaux tout au long de l'année. Description Le phare est une haute tour conique avec galerie et lanterne de 52 m de haut. Le phare est peint en blanc avec une large bande noire centrale et la lanterne est blanche. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 51 m, une lumière blanche fixe. Sa portée est de 19,5 milles nautiques (environ 36 km). Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-001 ; ex-Amirauté.

Маяк Абсикон

Маяк Абсикон (англ. Absecon Lighthouse) — действующий прибрежный маяк, расположенный в северной части Атлантик-Сити, штат Нью-Джерси, с видом на залив Абсикон. Его высота составляет 171 фут (52 м). Это самый высокий маяк в штате Нью-Джерси и третий по высоте каменный маяк в США. История В 1854 году началось строительство маяка Абсикон, а первый свет был зажжён 15 января 1857 года. Маяк был отключен в 1933 году, в настоящее время он по-прежнему горит каждую ночь, но больше не является активным навигационным средством. Маяк открыт для посещения всеми желающими, за небольшое пожертвование можно подняться в комнату наблюдения и внешнюю галерею. В 2002 году было открыто воссозданное помещение смотрителей, которое служит музеем и сувенирным магазином. В оригинальном доме масляной живописи теперь выставлена линза Френеля. Помимо школьных и групповых экскурсий, маяк Абсикон предлагает ночную программу для скаутов, зимнюю художественную программу для детей и широкий спектр специальных мероприятий в течение всего года. Маяк внесён в Национальный реестр исторических мест, в Список исторических зданий Америки и в Реестр исторических мест Нью-Джерси. Особенности конструкции Маяк был спроектирован Джорджем Мидом и до сих пор сохраняет свою оригинальную линзу Френеля первого порядка. Линза изготовлена из свинцового стекла и весит 12 800 фунтов (5800 кг). Поскольку лампа была неподвижной (немигающей), у неё нет сегмента, обращённого к земле, позволяющего посетителям смотреть в линзу вверх, куда её вставляли хранители для обслуживания[уточнить]. Джек Э. Буше задумал сохранить маяк и руководил его строительством в 1964 году.

Acorn Hall

Acorn Hall is an 1853 Victorian Italianate mansion located at 68 Morris Avenue in Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1973, for its significance in architecture. It serves as the headquarters of the Morris County Historical Society, which operates Acorn Hall as a historic house museum. After inheriting the property, antiwar activist and actress Mary Crane Hone tried for decades to donate the property for historical preservation, finally succeeding in 1971. History Named for the two-centuries-old oak tree formerly standing on its property, Acorn Hall was built in 1853 by the Schermerhorn family as a simple four-room over four-room farmhouse. Following the death of Mrs. Schermerhorn in 1854, Dr. Schermerhorn put the house and its contents up for sale. It was purchased in 1857 by the Augustus Crane family of New York. The Cranes in 1860 had the house enlarged and remodeled in the then-fashionable Italianate Villa style. Legacy After being passed down through several generations, the house was given to the Historical Society in 1971 by antiwar activist, actress, and curator Mary Crane Hone. Hone was the last private resident of the property. Historians have recognized Acorn Hall for its authentic mid-Victorian era furnishings, primarily pieces from the Schermerhorn and Crane-Hone families, supplemented with significant objects from other prominent Morris County families of the 19th century. Carpeting, wall coverings, and decorative paint techniques remain as they were in the nineteenth century. Acorn Hall also offers an exhibit gallery with changing exhibits highlighting various aspects of Morris County history and Victorian culture. In addition to the National Register of Historic Places, Acorn Hall is on the New Jersey State Register, and is part of the New Jersey Women's Heritage Trail, in recognition of the importance of the Crane and Hone women in both preservation and the women's suffrage movement. The grounds are also connected to the Morris County Park Commission's Patriot's Path system of trails.

Aeroflex–Andover Airport

Aeroflex–Andover Airport (FAA LID: 12N) is a public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.704 km) north of Andover within Kittatinny Valley State Park in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. The airport is publicly owned by the New Jersey Forest Fire Service and used as a base for aerial wildfire suppression. Facilities and aircraft Aeroflex–Andover Airport covers an area of 12 acres (4.9 ha) at an elevation of 583 feet (178 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 03/21 with an asphalt surface measuring 1,981 by 50 feet (604 x 15 m). For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2010, the airport had 24,826 aircraft operations, an average of 68 per day: 100% general aviation. At that time there were 48 aircraft based at this airport: 98% single-engine and 2% helicopter. Runway issues Pilots consider landing on the short runway challenging, particularly for those who do not regularly use the airport. With large lakes on either end, it has been likened to an aircraft carrier. While Flying editor Stephen Pope, who lives in northern New Jersey, considers that reputation to be exaggerated, "it wouldn't be my first choice if I had to divert with my family on board." Pope was referring to a recent incident where landing planes had come in too fast and gone off the runway into the water. In that July 5, 2019, accident, the pilot of a Cessna C172 who had left Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with his wife and children aboard was forced to divert when Morristown Municipal Airport, his intended destination, was temporarily closed so that President Donald Trump and his wife could go to the resort he owns in nearby Bedminster and play golf. The pilot and his family were rescued by a nearby fisherman before their plane could sink in 18–24 feet (5.5–7.3 m) of water in 119-acre (48 ha) Lake Aeroflex north of the runway. None of them were injured.

Ailsa Farms

Ailsa Farms, also known as Haledon Hall and Hobart Manor, is a historic house located at 300 Pompton Road in the township of Wayne in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. It was purchased by the state of New Jersey in 1948 from the family of Garret Hobart, 24th vice president of the United States and is now located on the campus of William Paterson University. Ailsa Farms was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1976, for its significance in architecture, politics, and social history. History and description In 1877, Scottish immigrant John MacCullough, a wealthy wool-industry businessman, built a two-story fieldstone house in the manor of a castle, with two octagonal turrets. In 1902, it was purchased by Jennie Tuttle Hobart, widow of the former vice president Garret Hobart and became the weekend retreat and summer residence of the family. In 1915, their son Garret Hobart Jr. added a three-story brick wing, designed by Paterson architects Fred Wesley Wentworth and Frederick Vreeland. In 1948, the state acquired the property for use as the Paterson State Teachers College, now William Paterson University. Today the building is known as Hobart Manor and houses the university's Office of the President and Office of Institutional Advancement.

Albany Street Bridge

The Albany Street Bridge is a bridge that carries Route 27 in the U.S. state of New Jersey spanning the Raritan River. The bridge connects Highland Park on the east with New Brunswick on the west. The bridge is so named because Route 27 in New Brunswick, from the Raritan River to Easton Avenue, is known locally as Albany Street. History The low stone arch bridge was built in 1887. In 1915, the bridge became become part of the transcontinental Lincoln Highway. The bridge was widened in 1925. In 1927, the bridge became part of route 27. The bridge received modifications such as the chain link fencing in the 1980s. From the bridge's centennial in 1987 until 1991, a major renovation created a drastic traffic bottleneck in the area. From the road, the appearance of the bridge is very modern. The best views of this historic arch bridge are from the banks of the Raritan River and from the nearby Northeast Corridor Raritan River Bridge.

Albert Einstein House

The Albert Einstein House at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, was the home of Albert Einstein from 1935 until his death in 1955. His second wife, Elsa Einstein, died in 1936 while living in this house. History The house was built in 1838, as it originally stood on Alexander Street where Stuart Hall of the Princeton Theological Seminary was built in that year, also displacing the house now at 108 Mercer. The home is a simple pattern-book cottage and not in itself of unusual significance. Elsa Einstein purchased the home from Mary Clark Marden on July 24, 1935, for an undisclosed sum according to the deed which was recorded by the Mercer County Clerk's Office on August 1, 1935. For many years, Albert Einstein lived in the house with three women: his sister Maja, his step-daughter Margot Einstein-Marianoff (1899–1986), and his secretary Helen Dukas. Albert Einstein reportedly requested that this house not be made a museum, and the family did not want it to be recognized as such. Nonetheless, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and further designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1976. After Albert Einstein, the house was owned by his sculptor step-daughter Margot Einstein until her death in 1986. The house was owned by Eric Maskin and his family until 2012. He was the Albert O. Hirschman Professor in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton until 2011, and the 2007 Nobel Prize winner with two others. He is currently a professor of economics at Harvard University. Previously it was occupied by 2004 Nobel prize winner physicist Frank Wilczek when he was a professor in IAS between 1989 and 2001. Reportedly he requested the house from the IAS as his condition to move to Princeton, and he had been holding evening seminars in the house for graduate students. The house is now a private residence even though it is owned by IAS, and is not open to the public. There is no historical marker explaining the house's significance; however, there are strategically placed "Private Residence" signs around the house. The house is 3,674 square feet, and includes only one bedroom and two baths. In 2012 it was purchased for $1,417,500 by the Institute for Advanced Study. It is on a half-acre parcel that extends 446 feet from the street.

Maison Albert Einstein

La maison Albert Einstein, située au 112 Mercer Street à Princeton, comté de Mercer, New Jersey, États-Unis, fut la demeure d'Albert Einstein de 1935 jusqu'à sa mort en 1955. Son épouse, Elsa Einstein, est morte en 1936 alors qu'elle vivait dans cette maison. La maison a été construite quelque temps avant 1876, telle qu'elle se trouvait à l'origine sur Alexander Street, où Stuart Hall du séminaire théologique de Princeton a été construite cette année-là, déplaçant également la maison maintenant au 108 Mercer La maison est un simple chalet à livre de modèles et n'a pas en soi une signification inhabituelle Elsa Einstein a acheté la maison de Mary Clark Marden le 24 juillet 1935 pour une somme non déclarée selon le contrat qui fut enregistré le 1er août 1935 au bureau du commis du comté de Mercer. Albert Einstein aurait demandé que cette maison ne soit pas transformée en musée, et la famille ne voulait pas qu'elle soit reconnue comme telle. Néanmoins, il a été ajouté au National Register of Historic Places et désigné monument historique national des États-Unis en 1976. Après lui, la maison a appartenu à sa belle-fille Margot Einstein, sculpteur, jusqu'à sa mort en 1986. La maison appartenait auparavant à Eric Maskin et à sa famille jusqu'en 2012. Il a été le professeur Albert O. Hirschman à la School of Social Science de l'Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) de Princeton jusqu'en 2011, et lauréat du prix Nobel 2007 avec deux autres personnes. Il est actuellement professeur d'économie à l'Université Harvard. Auparavant, il était occupé par le physicien Frank Wilczek, lauréat du prix Nobel 2004, alors qu'il était professeur aux IAS entre 1989 et 2001. Apparemment, il a demandé la maison de l'IAS comme sa condition pour déménager à Princeton, et il avait été la tenue de séminaires en soirée dans la maison pour les étudiants diplômés. Il s'agit d'une résidence privée même si elle appartient à l'IAS et n'est pas ouverte au public. Il n'y a pas de marqueur, mais les plaques stratégiquement placées indiquent "Résidence privée".
