Rand Building

El Rand Building es un rascacielos y el tercer edificio más alto de la ciudad de Búfalo, en el estado de Nueva York (Estados Unidos). En el momento en que se construyó en 1929, era el más alto de la ciudad a una altura de 123 m. Se encuentra adyacente al edificio 10 Lafayette Square (1959) en la Plaza Lafayette. Historia Debe su nombre a George F. Rand Sr. (1864-1919),​ expresidente y director de la junta directiva de Marine Midland Bank, quien murió en un accidente de avión cerca de Caterham en Surrey, Inglaterra.​ Está situado en la Plaza Lafayette. Fue construido en el sitio del Olympic Theatre de 1903.​ Desde 1959, fue la sede de las estaciones WGR y WKBW de la Buffalo Broadcasting Company (el "GR" en WGR significa George Rand). La estación fue fundada por la empresa Federal Telephone and Telegraph en 1922, en la que Rand fue un importante inversor.​ Hoy, las estaciones WMSX, WBLK, WBUF y WYRK del grupo Townsquare Media transmiten desde los estudios en el Rand y tienen sus antenas de transmisión ubicadas en la parte superior de su baliza. George F. Rand Jr. tenía un comedor privado en el último piso del edificio que usaba para almuerzos de negocios.​ Cuando el edificio abrió, presentaba un elaborado sistema de iluminación que resaltaba su estilo art deco retrocedido.​ Se ha sugerido que el Rand fue la inspiración para el Empire State.​ En diciembre de 2014, el desarrollador inmobiliario David L. Sweet vendió el edificio a Paul J. Kolkmeyer, un desarrollador y exdirector ejecutivo de First Niagara Bank, por 3,89 millones de dólares. La firma de Kolkmeyer, Priam Enterprises LLC, con sede en Amherst, compra, administra y desarrolla edificios de apartamentos residenciales y viviendas para estudiantes en Búfalo y las comunidades circundantes.​ Además de comprar el edificio Rand, Kolkmeyer compró el Main Court Building en 43 Main Street (por 4,5 millones), así como el Main Seneca Building, diseñado por Green & Wicks, en 237 Main Street, el Roblin Building en 241 Main Street, (ambos por 2,56 millones) y The Stanton Building (también conocido como el Glenny Building), diseñado por Richard A. Waite, en 251 Main Street (por 646.569).​ Véase también Anexo:Edificios más altos de Búfalo Referencias

Rat Island

Rat Island est une île privée de New York dans le Bronx aux États-Unis, une des îles Pelham. Géographie Rat Island mesure environ 1 ha et est située dans le City Island Harbor du Long Island Sound. Elle est à mi-chemin entre City Island et Hart Island, au sud de High Island. Histoire Rat Island est incluse dans l'achat des îles Pelham en 1654 par Thomas Pell (en). L'origine de son nom est incertaine. Pour Red Brennan, il viendrait des évadés de la prison de Hart Island, à proximité, surnommés « rats », qui utilisaient la petite île pour se reposer avant de nager vers City Island et la liberté. Une autre théorie dit que, lorsque l'île abritait des victimes de la typhoïde au XIXe siècle, elle attirait vraisemblablement la vermine. Selon Schibli, un propriétaire de l'île, son nom original était « Rattle Island », car des bruiteurs bruyants étaient utilisés pour éloigner les navires. Durant les craintes liées à la fièvre typhoïde du début du XIXe siècle, l'île est utilisée par la ville de Pelham comme hôpital des mises en quarantaine d' environ 40 personnes infectées. Le lieu porte alors le nom de « Pelham Pesthouse ». Les restes des murs pavés et des fondations de l'hôpital peuvent encore être vus. Il a été abandonné en raison des inondations dues aux tempêtes. La ville de New York acheté l'île en 1888. Elle devient une mini-colonie d'écrivains et d'artistes au début du XXe siècle psui est acquise par le Dr H.A. Parmentier en 1908, qui la loue au Mount Vernon Club en 1931. Jusqu’en 1972, elle est la propriété d'un avocat de Brooklyn, puis est vendue à Edmund Brennen qui l'utilise pour stocker du matériel. En mars 2009, Brennen la remet en vente pour 300 000 $. Le 26 septembre 2011, le New York Times publie un article sur l'île, déclarant que la propriété serait mise aux enchères le 2 octobre 2011. Elle est achetée par Alex Schibli, un résident suisse de City Island. Schibli déclare qu'il n'a pas de plans immédiats pour des changements physiques sur l'île, mais envisage de la renommer Malina Island en hommage à sa petite-fille. En août 2016, une copie en polyester de la statue du combattant de la liberté suisse Guillaume Tell d'Altdorf est érigée sur l'île pour la 725e fête nationale suisse.

Rat Island (New York)

Rat Island is een klein eiland gelegen in City Island Harbor tussen City Island en Hart Island in de borough The Bronx van New York. De oppervlakte van het eiland bedraagt ongeveer één hectare, maar deze wordt door de getijden beïnvloed. Op het eiland bevinden zich geen gebouwen en het gehele eiland is in privaat bezit. Rat Island bestaat uit een bedrock van schist en door het eiland loopt een geul die tijdens hoogtij onder water loopt en bekendstaat onder de naam "Devil's Path". Op Rat Island bevindt zich op wat rietstengels na geen begroeiing. Etymologie De afkomst van de naam is onzeker. Volgens een legende is het eiland vernoemd naar uit de gevangenis op Hart Island ontsnapte gevangen, die bij het eiland een tussenstop maakten om uit te rusten. Die gevangenen werden rats (ratten) genoemd. Het eiland verscheen echter onder zijn naam op een kaart in 1851 toen de gevangenis nog niet bestond. Geschiedenis Rat Island werd op 14 november 1654 door de Siwanoy, een indianenstam, aan Thomas Pell verkocht samen met een aantal andere eilanden. In de 19e eeuw stond op het eiland mogelijk het "Pelham pesthouse", dat diende om mensen met de gele koorts onder quarantaine te plaatsen, maar volgens lokale historici is dat onwaarschijnlijk. Rat Island kwam later in het bezit van de families Delancy en Hunter. In 1888 kocht de stad New York het eiland voor de aanleg van het Pelham Bay Park. Rond die tijd woonde een man genaamd Gilbert Horton op het eiland. Zijn huis werd in 1893 gesloopt. Op 17 november 1908 werd H. A. Parmentier, een tandarts en lid van de Mount Vernon Club, eigenaar van het eiland. In 1931 verhuurde hij het eiland aan de Mount Vernon Club. Rat Island werd later nog steeds onder Parmentiers bezit de woonplaats van een aantal schrijvers en artiesten. Zij vertrokken in de jaren 30. Het gebouw dat zich op het eiland bevond, werd in 1938 door een orkaan vernield. Van dat gebouw is momenteel alleen de fundering nog over. Op 28 juni 1940 werd het eiland te koop aangeboden voor $200, maar het eiland werd niet gekocht. De waarde van het eiland werd geschat op $1300. Edmund Brennen kocht Rat Island in 1972 van een advocaat uit Brooklyn en gebruikte het eiland onder andere voor opslag van spullen. Later vertrok hij naar Florida en werd het eiland nog steeds in zijn bezit gebruikt door vissers, kajakkers en kampeerders. In 2009 zette Brennen het eiland te koop voor $300.000, maar het kwam niet tot een koop. De waarde van het eiland werd door New York op $426.000 geschat. Op 2 oktober 2011 werd het eiland geveild bij een veiling van meerdere bezittingen van Brennen voor $176.000. De nieuwe eigenaar is afkomstig uit The Bronx en hij gaf aan niet van plan te zijn iets aan het eiland te veranderen.
Rat Rock (Central Park)

Rat Rock, also known as Umpire Rock, is an outcrop of Manhattan schist which protrudes from the bedrock in Central Park, Manhattan, New York City. Description The outcrop is located near the southwest corner of Central Park, south of the Heckscher Ballfields near the alignments of 62nd Street and Seventh Avenue. It is officially named Umpire Rock, due to its proximity to the ballfields, but is commonly known as Rat Rock after the rats that used to swarm there at night. It measures about 150 feet (46 m) wide and is 25 feet (7.6 m) tall at its highest point. The outcrop has different east, west, and north faces, each of which presents a differing climbing challenge. The rock has striations caused by glaciation. Climbing usage Boulderers congregate at the outcrop, sometimes as many as 50 per day. A 2007 article in The New York Times highlighted regular climber Yukihiko Ikumori, a then 60-year-old gardener from the West Village known as the "spiritual godfather" of the rock. Other climbers include tourists and visitors to the city who learn about the climbing spot from the Internet and word of mouth. Experienced climbers such as Ikumori often show neophytes good routes and techniques. While the outcrop has been included in a list of the "top 5 urban bouldering crags", more experienced outsiders may be disappointed as the quality of the stone is poor, the setting is gloomy, and the climbs present so little challenge that it has been called "one of America's most pathetic boulders". The park police formerly ticketed climbers who climbed more than a few feet up the rock. The City Climbers Club approached the park authorities and, by working to provide safety features such as wood chips around the base, they were able to legalize climbing there.

Rat Rock

Rat Rock (även kallad Umpire Rock) är en stor glimmerskiffersten i den sydvästra delen av Central Park på Manhattan i New York (nära hörnet av 61a gatan och 6e avenyn) som har fått sitt namn från de råttor som brukade samlas där nattetid. Den är en mycket populär plats för så kallad bouldering vilket är en typ av klättring där man enbart har en matta under sig som säkerhet. Stenens sidor erbjuder klättringsväggar av olika svårighet och den är ca 17 meter lång och 4,5 meter hög. Klättrare kommer dit från hela världen kommer för att testa stenens olika utmaningar. Vissa är regelbundna besökare medan andra testar på när de passerar förbi. Rat Rock har fått en del kritik av erfarna bouldrare eftersom dess kvalitet är relativt dålig och det finns inte så många klättringsvägar. Den har till och med kallats för "amerikas mest patetiska boulder".[källa behövs] Referenser Externa länkar Bouldering i Central Park

Recreation Park (Binghamton)

Recreation Park is a public, urban park in Binghamton, New York. Located in Binghamton's West Side, Recreation Park is bordered by Schubert Street to the North, and Laurel Avenue to the East, Seminary Avenue to the South, and Beethoven Street to the West. Shoe manufacturer George F. Johnson donated it to Binghamton, and it is home to one of Allan Herschell's six famous carousels. The park also contains a bandstand, statues and monuments, numerous athletic fields and courts, swimming facilities, a playground, and walking paths in a grove of mature oak trees. History The area where the park now stands was originally farmland owned by Abel Bennett, the former first mayor of Binghamton. George F. Johnson, the founder of Endicott-Johnson Shoe Corp., purchased this land, along with three smaller parcels of land owned by other landowners. In October 1921 he donated all of it to the City of Binghamton on condition "that it shall remain forever a public park, and that it shall be properly improved and maintained by the city as such. If at any time this property shall be used for any other purpose, it shall revert to the giver, his heirs or assigns." The George F. Johnson Recreation Park Carousel, which was manufactured by the Allan Herschell Company, was added in 1925, with a Wurlitzer #146-B Band Organ providing the carousel's music. The carousel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The bathhouse, whose roof once comprised red tiles, continues to serve patrons. The bandstand hosts concerts in the summertime. A giant wooden toboggan slide was situated at the Laurel Avenue side of the park in its early days but it was lost in a fire. The park had fallen into serious disrepair by the 1980s. In response, a task force set about examining the park and its amenities and making recommendations regarding repairs and restoration, which were published in the 1986 Heritage Committee Special Report. In the report the members noted that the park "has primarily changed only in the form of falling into such a state of disrepair that renovation is no longer cost efficient." As a result, the park underwent restoration, including restoration of the bandstand. In 2004 the Binghamton University art department, utilizing a grant from the Rose-Ross University and Community Projects Fund, restored the reflecting pool and its sculpture Boy with Fish, which was created by artist Charles Keck in 1922. There is a Rod Serling memorial plaque in the bandstand, which refers to the Twilight Zone episode "Walking Distance": Serling grew up in Binghamton and the carousel featured in the episode is said to have been inspired by the one in Recreation Park. The plaque and episode are also referenced heavily in the 2015 film The Rewrite, which is mostly set in Binghamton. References External links City of Binghamton carousels

Rehs Galleries

Rehs Galleries is an art gallery at 20 West 55th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Experts in 19th and 20th century European and American art, the gallery focuses on artists who exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy from 1850-1920 as well as the works of Edouard Cortès and Antoine Blanchard. Rehs Galleries sister gallery Rehs Contemporary Galleries operates from the same space. Rehs offers both authentication and appraisals services for art that falls within their scope of expertise. Rehs Galleries is family owned, with the fourth generation currently running the gallery. Rehs Galleries was elected a member of the Fine Art Dealers Association in 1995. History Rehs Galleries began in the late 1930s when accountant M. Edwin Schillay, encouraged by a client, started buying paintings in bulk in London and shipping them to New York, selling them wholesale to department stores for their in-house art galleries. He specialized in nineteenth-century British paintings, helping introduce Victorian art to American buyers. After World War II, he expanded into other European art. In the mid-1950s, his wife Ruth opened a retail outlet at 303 Park Avenue South, adding sales to private collectors. By 1960 the firm, now importing thousands of paintings annually, moved to larger premises, and Schillay's son-in-law Joseph B. Rehs joined the business. A year after Schillay's death in 1963, the firm became Schillay & Rehs, Inc. and grew into a major importer of 18th- and 19th-century European paintings, later shifting toward decorative arts and interior designers after an 1978 move to East 63rd Street. Joseph's son Howard Rehs joined in 1981 after studying art history at New York University, developing expertise in French Academic, Realist, and Barbizon School painting. In 1991 the gallery was renamed Rehs Galleries, Inc. The gallery moved to 5 East 57th Street in 1997 and developed an online presence, including a market newsletter and catalogue raisonné resources. In the 2000s, Howard's wife Amy took on greater leadership, and the gallery expanded into contemporary Realism, forming Rehs Contemporary Galleries, Inc. in 2012. The gallery relocated to 20 West 55th Street in 2023.
