Woodlawn National Cemetery

Woodlawn National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery within Woodlawn Cemetery, which is in the city of Elmira, in Chemung County, New York. Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it encompasses 10.5 acres (4.2 ha), and as of 2021, had over 11,000 interred remains. History In 1861, Camp Rathbun, near the town of Elmira, was established as a training camp at the beginning of the Civil War. As the Union troops who trained there were sent to their respective assignments, the camp emptied and in 1864 it was turned into the Elmira Prison prisoner-of-war camp. The facilities were not adequate to house the thousands of Confederate prisoners, and many succumbed to exposure, malnutrition, and smallpox and were subsequently interred at the cemetery. Woodlawn National Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Notable monuments The U.S. government erected the Shohola Monument in 1911 to commemorate a tragic railroad accident that took the lives of both Confederate and Union soldiers during the Civil War in 1864. In 1937, the United Daughters of the Confederacy erected a monument by sculptor Frederick Sievers in memory of those Confederate prisoners of war who died while imprisoned in Elmira.

Woodlawn Preserve

The Woodlawn Preserve is a patch of the Albany Pine Bush in the Woodlawn neighborhood of the city of Schenectady, New York. It is the only remaining example of this rare ecosystem in that area, a combination of swamp, wetlands, water bodies, and dune vegetation, and one of the most biologically diverse parcels in Schenectady County. Description The low-lying areas of the preserve are wetlands while the higher portions are pitch pine-scrub oak barrens with some of the largest sand dunes found in the Albany Pine Bush. While the preserve has traditionally been a Karner Blue butterfly habitat, there are no current populations of the endangered species there. The preserve and neighboring lands in the town of Niskayuna are part of the Woodlawn Pine Barrens-Wetlands Complex, which is recognized by the state of New York's Open Space Conservation Plan as a priority conservation project. History The preserve was created by the city in 1969 as 135 acres (55 ha) of forever wild land, and is home to the headwaters of the Lisha Kill and numerous rare plants. It is the largest passive park in the city of Schenectady. The city has been repeatedly approached by developers seeking to purchase the land for housing developments. In 1993 88 acres (36 ha) were requested, with an extra 27 acres (11 ha) to be developed as a park. This raised an outcry by the Concerned Citizens to Save the Woodlawn Preserve organization, which argued that such development contradicted the intent and purpose of establishing a nature preserve. In 2003 the Forever Wild status was still intact on the 135 acres (0.55 km2) but was again threatened by another offer of $196,000 for 196 plots. A Quality Communities Grant was awarded to Schenectady in 2007 to promote the "preservation and beautification" of the Preserve. This coincided with the Preserve being added to the New York Open Space Conservation Plan. In 2008, a five-year plan was developed between the city and the state to organize the improvement of the Preserve. In 2009, Schenectady County created 24 acres (9.7 ha) of protected parkland in Niskayuna within the Woodlawn Pine Barrens-Wetlands Complex, which was then deeded to the town. This was considered an important step in linking the Woodlawn Preserve and the Albany Pine Bush Preserve.

Bank of the Metropolis Building

Das Bank of the Metropolis Building ist ein 16-stöckiges Hochhaus am 31 Union Square in Manhattan, New York City. Es wurde von 1901 bis 1903 vom Architekten Bruce Price geplant und erbaut. Anfangs für die 1871 gegründete Bank of Metropolis als Hauptquartier errichtet, wechselte das Gebäude 1918 den Besitzer. Im Jahre 1975 erfolgte eine grundlegende Renovierung und der Umbau zu Eigentumswohnungen. Geschichte Die Bank of Metropolis wurde 1871 von neureichen Kaufleuten gegründet. Sie öffnete am 31 Union Square ihr Hauptquartier, bis sie später weiter Richtung Süden zog. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurden am Union Square viele niedrige Flachbauten durch größere Bürogebäude ersetzt. Viele Gebäude entstanden dabei im Queen Anne Style am Union Square und auch die Bank of the Metropolis plante ein neues Hauptquartier. Das Decker Building der Decker Brothers Piano Company öffnete bereits 1881 und war Ansporn für die Bank ein höheres Gebäude nebenan zu errichten. Vor dem Bau des Bankgebäudes befand sich am 31 Union Square der stadtbekannte Buchladen Brentano’s Bookstore. Im Umgangssprachlichen wurde deshalb das benachbarte Decker Building auch immer als „next to Brentano's“ beschrieben. Die Bank erwarb das Grundstück und beauftragte 1902 den Architekten Bruce Prince mit dem Bau des 16-stöckigen Wolkenkratzers. Der Bau begann im Jahr 1901 unter der Verantwortung der George A. Fuller Company, welche vor allem durch ihr eigenes Hauptquartier, dem Flatiron Building (oder auch Fuller Building) bekannt wurde. Die Baukosten betrugen insgesamt 500.000 Dollar. Auffallend war vor allem der schmale Baukörper des Gebäudes. Mit 62,48 Metern Höhe war es damals eines der höchsten Gebäude der Umgebung. Das Gebäude wurde am 12. Juli 1988 von der Landmarks Preservation Commission unter Denkmalschutz gestellt und am 15. November 2003 in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Direkt an das Gebäude grenzt das Decker Building, welches ebenfalls 1988 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt wurde. Ebenfalls unmittelbar in der Nähe befindet sich das Hartford Building.

14 Уол Стрийт

14 Уол Стрийт (на английски: 14 Wall Street) е 37-етажен, 164 метров небостъргач, намиращ се в град Ню Йорк, САЩ. Оригиналното му име е „Банкърс Тръст Къмпани Билдинг“ (на английски: Bankers Trust Company Building).

14 Wall Street

14 Wall Street, früher Bankers Trust Company Building, ist ein 1912 nach Plänen des Architekturbüros Trowbridge & Livingstone vollendeter Wolkenkratzer im Financial District in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Er steht seit 1997 unter Denkmalschutz. Beschreibung Das Bauwerk nimmt die Südosthälfte eines Blocks ein, der vom Broadway im Nordwesten, der Pine Street im Nordosten, der Nassau Street im Südosten und der Wall Street im Südwesten begrenzt ist. Südlich liegen direkt gegenüber die Federal Hall und die berühmte Börse New York Stock Exchange. 14 Wall Street wurde von Trowbridge & Livingstone im neoklassizistischen Stil als Hauptsitz des Bankers Trust entworfen und von 1910 bis 1912 erbaut. Der Büroturm ist 164,6 Meter oder 540 Fuß hoch und besitzt 32 nutzbare Stockwerke. Von 1931 bis 1933 wurde nach Entwürfen des Architekturbüros Shreve, Lamb and Harmon ein 25-stöckiger, 99 Meter hoher Anbau im Stil des Art déco errichtet, der den an der Südostecke des Grundstücks stehenden Wolkenkratzer im Norden und Westen umschließt. Der erste Bauabschnitt begann 1910 mit dem Abriss des 20 Stockwerke hohen Gillender Building. Zum Zeitpunkt der Fertigstellung war 14 Wall Street das höchste Bankgebäude der Welt. Die siebenstöckige Pyramide auf der Spitze des Gebäudes diente als Inspiration für das Logo der Bankers Trust Company. In den Jahren 1962 und 1974 ließ Bankers Trust neue Gebäude errichten und verkaufte das Gebäude schließlich im Jahr 1987. Das anfangs geplante Vorhaben von J. P. Morgan, das Apartment im 31. Stockwerk als zweiten Wohnsitz zu nutzen, gab er später wieder auf. Das an allen vier Seiten von Terrassen umgebene Stockwerk wurde später in ein Restaurant umgewandelt, das zunächst als „La Tour D'Or“ und zuletzt als „The 14 Wall Street“ bis April 2006 bestand. Die Landmarks Preservation Commission der Stadt New York stellte das Gebäude am 14. Januar 1997 unter Denkmalschutz. Am 20. Februar 2007 wurde es ein Teil des Wall Street Historic Districts.
