Lent Homestead and Cemetery

The Riker–Lent–Smith Homestead and Cemetery are a historic house and cemetery in the Steinway and East Elmhurst neighborhoods of Queens in New York City. The earliest part of the house was built by Abraham Riker in 1656. He was an early settler of New Amsterdam, and a member of the Riker family, for whom Rikers Island nearby is named; the house was owned by the Riker and Lent families for much of its history. In 1729, the house was expanded and additions were built by then-owner Abraham Lent, a descendant of Abraham Riker. The small graveyard contains not only the graves of family members, but also that of Irish revolutionary and physician William James MacNeven who died in 1841 and who had stayed with the Riker family. Around 1800 the house was again expanded to its current size. It remains an intact house in the Dutch Colonial style. Current owner Marion Duckworth Smith and her late husband Michael Smith began restoration work in 1980, and the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The house is the oldest known existing residential structure in Queens.

Metropolitan Life Tower

La Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower és un immoble d'oficines de la ciutat de New York als Estats Units, situat al borough de Manhattan. Va ser l'edifici més alt del món de 1909 a 1913 (superat aleshores pel Woolworth Building). També anomenat el Metropolitan Life Insurance Building, es troba a l'1 Av Madison. Va ser construïda per a la societat d'assegurances Metropolitan Life Company. La societat volia que els arquitectes s'inspiressin en el campanar de la Piazza San Marco a Venècia. Construïda el 1907, pels arquitectes americans Napoleon Le Brun i fill, fa 213 metres d'alçada i té cinquanta pisos. Aquesta torre va ser afegida el 1909 a un immoble de 1893 i va fer d'aquest edifici el més alt del món. Al començament dels anys 1910, la galeria d'observació era oberta al públic per un preu de 50 cèntims. Els rellotges (que es troben sobre les quatre façanes) són més grans que els del Big Ben. Cada esfera fa vuit metres de diàmetre. El pes de les agulles fa una idea del gegantisme dels rellotges: 500 kg per a l'agulla dels minuts i 350 kg per a la de les hores. La torre va ser renovada als anys 2000, amb un cost de 30 milions de dòlars. S'hi va afegir a això un nou sistema d'enllumenat automatitzat, la torre es manté il·luminada totes les nits (apel·lant a la divisa de la Life Insurance Company: «La llum que no s'afebleix mai»). Els colors canvien segons els esdeveniments. Es pot veure a l'entrada de l'edifici els quadres de l'il·lustrador N C. Wyeth. Enllaços externs (anglès) Fotos Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower

Metropolitan Life Tower (známý také jako Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building nebo zkráceně Met Life Tower) je mrakodrap stojící na newyorské ulici Madison Avenue. Byl navržen architektonickou společností Napoleon LeBrun & Sons. Inspirací se stala kostelní věž Campanile di San Marco stojící v italských Benátkách. Výstavba probíhala v letech 1907–1909 a po svém dokončení se stal nejvyšší budovou světa až do roku 1913, kdy jej překonal Woolworth Building. Budova patří na seznam národních historických památek. Architektura budovy Met Life Tower byla přibudována k 11 patrové budově z roku 1897, která nesla název East Wing. Na budově jsou umístěny čtyři ciferníkové hodiny, jedny na každé straně budovy. Jsou umístěny ve výšce od 25. do 27. patra. Průměr ciferníku je 8,1 metru, každé číslo je 1,2 metru velké a každá minutová ručička váží přibližně půl tuny. Původní fasáda byla z mramorových desek, ale v roce 1964 proběhla rekonstrukce a původní mramorové desky byl nahrazeny vápencovými. Tato rekonstrukce měla také za cíl modernizaci budovy, a proto byly různé architektonické prvky a detaily odstraněny. Další tříletá rekonstrukce byla ukončena v roce 2002. Při této rekonstrukci mimo jiné bylo instalováno noční osvětlení, které mění barvy podle státních svátků nebo různých událostí podobně jako na Empire State Building.

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower

De Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower is een wolkenkrabber bij Madison Square in de Amerikaanse stad New York. Het gebouw is 213,36 meter hoog met 50 verdiepingen. Het is gebouwd tussen 1907 en 1909 en ontworpen door Napoleon LeBrun & Sons. De architecten lieten zich inspireren door de Campanile van Venetië. Het gebouw was van 1909 tot en met 1913 het hoogste gebouw ter wereld, maar werd in 1913 door het Woolworth Building onttroond. Ontwerp Het gebouw is een latere toevoeging aan het originele 11 verdiepingen hoge kantoorgebouw dat in 1893 werd voltooid. De toren begint met een voet, waarna de schacht volgt. Daarna komt een kapiteel, dat weer gevolgd wordt door een piramidevormige spits, met koepel en lantaarn. Het gebouw bevat aan iedere zijde een klok, elk met een diameter van 8 meter. Ieder cijfer op de klok is 1,2 meter groot. Het originele gebouw was bedekt met Tuckahoe-marmer, maar dit werd tijdens de renovatie in 1964 vervangen door kale kalksteen. Ook het originele kantoorgebouw werd met nieuwe kalksteen bedekt, waardoor veel details verloren gingen en het gebouw een modern uiterlijk kreeg. Een restauratie van drie jaar aan de buitenkant van het gebouw eindigde in 2002, waarbij een nieuw automatisch systeem werd toegevoegd dat de top 's nachts in meerdere kleuren verlicht. De kleuren veranderen en wijzen soms op belangrijke feestdagen of gebeurtenissen. Galerij Externe links Locatie van de toren op google maps Foto's van de Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower

Tenney Stadium at Leonidoff Field

Tenney Stadium at Leonidoff Field is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose stadium in Poughkeepsie, New York. It is home to the Marist University Red Foxes football team and Kingston Stockade FC of the National Premier Soccer League. The field was named after Alex Leonidoff, a local physician and avid Marist Athletics supporter. The facility opened in 1968. At the conclusion of the 2006 football season, the existing grandstand was removed to make way for a more modern, updated facility including modern press boxes, luxury suites, home and away locker rooms, an athletic training room as well as a new concession stand. On October 6, 2007 began with the dedication of Tenney Stadium at Leonidoff Field. The stadium's name honors Tim Tenney, CEO of Pepsi-Cola of the Hudson Valley, who provided the lead gift for the stadium renovation project. Additionally, the grass natural turf surface was replaced with Field Turf synthetic surface. It has a capacity of 5,000 with amphitheater-style seating on the west side of the field for lawn chairs and blankets. The facility includes a stone-faced precast concrete grandstand. The ground level field house contains two large, day-lit varsity locker rooms with showers, a medical training room, an equipment room, and support spaces. A field storage room is provided with vehicular access. The building also includes a public concession stand and restrooms. Lockers and concession areas are highlighted on the façade by large wooden exterior alcoves that create bays for students and players. The new grandstand features a large press box, served by elevators, that is equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system and wireless communications. VIP hospitality wings provide seating for 120 people with a fully operable window wall facing the field. Press box and VIP seats also provide views of the Hudson River and the Poughkeepsie Bridge beyond. Objections were raised to the removal of approximately 20 trees in preparation for this project. The oldest of the trees was determined post-mortem to be 180 years old. It began life around the same time as the founder of the Marist Brothers, Saint Marcellin Champagnat, and was therefore in existence 80 years before the college was established. The objections abated after an e-mail was distributed by the administration stating that the planting of 40 new trees was included in the project plans. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, the project was completed for the start of the 2007 football season. It now serves five varsity sports programs for the school. On January 24, 2023, National Premier Soccer League team Kingston Stockade announced they would play their 2023 home schedule at Tenney Stadium due to ongoing renovations at their usual home, Dietz Stadium.

The Levi Snell House is a house with Greek Revival and Italianate architecture in Fayetteville, New York. It was built in 1855 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It's a "substantial, largely intact, mid-nineteenth century brick residence which illustrates the residential designs frequently favored by the prosperous but conservative merchant classes in small upstate New York communities of that period. The house incorporates square massing of the relatively new Italianate style, such as wide eaves and a bracketed cornice, into a traditional five-bay center hall-plan residence with porches, doors and windows treated in the older Greek Revival style." Its first two owners were Levi Snell and Marquis L. Peck. References

Lewis G. Morris House

The Lewis Gouverneur and Nathalie Bailey Morris House is a historic building at 100 East 85th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. The five-story dark red brick house was built in 1913-14 as a private residence for Lewis Gouverneur Morris, a financier and descendant of Gouverneur Morris, a signer of the Articles of Confederation and United States Constitution, and Alletta Nathalie Lorillard Bailey. In 1917, Morris & Pope (Lewis Governeur Morris’ stock brokerage firm) is bankrupt but the family retains ownership of this house as well as their house in Newport, RI because his wife owned the property as collateral for a loan to him for his brokerage business. Alletta Nathalie Bailey Morris was a leading women's tennis player in the 1910s, winning the national indoor tennis championship in 1920. Designed by Ernest Flagg with an asymmetrical plan, the house has a distinctive style inspired by English Queen Anne architecture, along with Colonial and Federal architectural styles. The building features staggered stair windows, half-fan windows in pairs, a double height oriel over the garage, and a square cupola. The building was later also called the New World Foundation Building. Its address is 1015 Park Avenue, although its entrance is around the corner at 100 East 85th Street. The house was made a New York City Designated Landmark on January 24, 1967, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Its facade was restored by the Avi Chai Foundation in 2000.

Liberty Building (Buffalo, New York)

The Liberty Building is located at 420 Main Street, across the Buffalo Metro Rail from Lafayette Square in Buffalo, New York, United States. History Built in 1925, the 23 story office tower is an example of neoclassical architecture. At the time of its completion, the Liberty Building was the largest office building in downtown Buffalo and was built for Liberty National Bank to serve as their headquarters. Liberty National Bank was originally called the German American Bank but its name was changed to Liberty National Bank after World War I to remove any connection to that war's main enemy. In order to illustrate the bank's new image, the building was christened with three replicas of the Statue of Liberty sculpted by Leo Lentelli in 1925. Two statues on the roof, one facing west, and the other facing east, represent Buffalo's strategic location on the Great Lakes. A third statue was placed over the Main Street entrance. The Main Street Statue was moved to the court street entrance. All 3 statues continue to remain in the building. They stand 36 feet tall and are illuminated at night. An addition to the building, designed by Lyman & Associates was completed in 1961. Present Day On September 23, 2010, French tightrope walker Didier Pasquette completed a successful 150 ft walk across a high-wire suspended between the two statues atop the building. He completed the walk in two minutes and 59 seconds. The building is owned by the Main Place Liberty Group, who also own the Main Place Tower. The Liberty Building is the fifth tallest building in Buffalo. Gallery See also List of tallest buildings in Buffalo, New York References External links "Liberty Building". SkyscraperPage.
