Franklin National Bank

La Franklin National Bank di New York, con sede nella Franklin Square di Long Island, è stata un tempo la ventesima banca per volume d'affari negli Stati Uniti. L'8 ottobre 1974 fallì in circostanze (all'epoca) oscure. In seguito le indagini evidenziarono le pesanti responsabilità del banchiere Michele Sindona nel collasso finanziario. Il crollo della Franklin National Bank fu lo scandalo finanziario più grande nella storia degli Stati Uniti fino a quel momento. Storia La banca venne fondata come Franklin Square National Bank nel 1926 (e cambiò il nome in Franklin National Bank nel 1947). Dal 1934 ne fu direttore Arthur Thomas Roth, e CEO nel 1946. Nel 1964 la Franklin aprì filiali a New York e nel 1967 si fuse con la Federation Bank & Trust Company. Nel 1968 Roth fu sostituito come CEO dal suo protetto, Harold Gleason, dopo che la banca aveva manifestato problemi di credito e nel 1970 Roth perse la posizione di direttore venendo espulso e fu Gleason quindi a divenirne CEO, invitando Laurence Tisch come proprio vice, dato che quest'ultimo deteneva il 22% della proprietà. Nel 1972 Michele Sindona, che aveva all'epoca legami con la mafia, la loggia massonica P2 e l'amministrazione Nixon, ne acquistò il controllo da Laurence Tisch, chairman della Loews Corporation. In seguito Tisch venne riscontrato in conflitto d'interessi e ciò aiutò Sindona a completare il processo di acquisizione della banca. Come risultato dell'acquisizione della banca, Sindona ebbe la possibilità di operare nel mercato americano usando la propria abilità finanziaria nel trasferire fondi, creare lettere di credito e commerciare in valute straniere per gettare le basi di un impero finanziario negli Stati Uniti. Usò inoltre i propri agganci con il governo Nixon e il Partito Repubblicano per assicurarsi che il proprio background non gli impedisse di diventare vice chairman e azionista di maggioranza. Nel 1974 l'amministrazione rilevò però forti perdite e i correntisti iniziarono a prelevare il proprio denaro, obbligando la banca a prendere un prestito di un miliardo di dollari dalla Federal Reserve Bank. L'8 ottobre 1974 la banca fu dichiarata insolvente per bancarotta fraudolenta, con forti perdite di capitali per speculazioni in valuta straniera e una cattiva politica di gestione dei prestiti. Nel 1979 gli amministratori della banca vennero processati presso la Corte Federale a New York, e condannati. In Italia intanto Giorgio Ambrosoli, che si stava occupando del collasso finanziario di Sindona, morì in un omicidio il cui mandante era lo stesso Sindona.

Home Insurance Plaza

Home Insurance Plaza oder 59 Maiden Lane ist ein Wolkenkratzer in Manhattan in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten. Das Bauwerk besteht unter der Bezeichnung „59 Maiden Lane“ aus drei baulich miteinander verbundenen Teilen: dem Legacy Building, dem Core Building und dem Tower. Lage Der Büroturm befindet sich an der Südspitze der Insel Manhattan im Financial District, Lower Manhattan. Er steht an der Nordwestseite der William Street zwischen Maiden Lane und John Street im Zentrum des Stadtteils. Ein Nachbargebäude ist die Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Zwei Blocks westlich liegen das World Trade Center und der Verkehrsknoten Fulton Center. Beschreibung 59 Maiden Lane besteht aus dem 1929 erbauten 18-stöckigen Legacy Building an der John Street sowie aus den zwei 44-stöckigen, miteinander verzahnten Gebäuden Core und Tower, die vom Architekten Alfred Easton Poor (1899–1988) im Internationalen Stil entworfen und von 1964 bis 1966 erbaut wurden. Der fast fensterlose Core als Nordteil ist 192 Meter (630 Fuß) hoch und der Tower als Südteil erreicht eine Höhe von 179,2 Meter (588 Fuß). Der Core besitzt eine graue Fassade, der Tower hatte eine nahezu weiße Ziegelstein-Fassade ohne Rücksprünge, die nach einer im Jahr 2025 durchgeführten Renovierung grau gestaltet wurde. Vor dem Tower liegt an der Kreuzung Maiden Lane/William Street die kleine öffentliche Parkanlage „Aivin Garden“. An der fensterlosen Südwestwand des Legacy Buildings am „Aivin Garden“ befindet sich ein 23 m × 15 m großes Wandbild, das Motive aus der Geschichte von Lower Manhattan darstellt. Das von der Malerin Julie Harvey (* 1963) geschaffene Bild zeigt unter anderem den Hafen, Schiffe, Pferde und Kutschen, Holzfässer, Menschen mit der Mode des 19. Jahrhunderts, die Freiheitsstatue und spiegelnde Glasfassaden von Wolkenkratzern. 2025 erfolgte im Auftrag der AmTrust Realty Corporation eine umfassende Renovierung der drei Gebäudeteile durch die MdeAS Architects. Dies umfasste einen vollständigen Austausch der Fenster, die Installation neuer Metall- und Porzellanverkleidungen über der bestehenden Backsteinfassade am Tower, die Neuverfugung und Reparatur von Mauerwerksrissen an den Ziegelsteinfassaden und die Neugestaltung der Parkanlage an seiner Basis.

Home Insurance Plaza

Home Insurance Plaza is a 630 ft (190 m) tall skyscraper at 59 Maiden Lane in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. It was completed in 1966 and has 44 floors. Alfred Easton Poor designed the structure, while the plaza was redeveloped in 1987 by Kohn Pedersen Fox. The plaza is the home of Liberty, a 75-by-50-foot (23 m × 15 m) mural by Julie Harvey. Simple in its concept, it illustrates that New York's present was built upon the foundations its forefathers placed many years ago. The Statue of Liberty is reflected in the mirrored facade of a skyscraper. Early 19th century New York emerges revealing the cobblestone streets, horses and carriages, gentlemen with top hats, and ships in the seaport. Harvey has also included the old shipping barrels, lamp posts and even pigs that ran freely around Lower Manhattan. The Liberty mural was presented to the community as a visual expression of the foundations on which New York was established.

Mercantile Building

10 East 40th Street oder Mercantile Building ist ein Wolkenkratzer in Manhattan in New York City, USA. Beschreibung Der Büroturm befindet sich in Midtown Manhattan an der East 40th Street mittig in einem Block zwischen der Madison Avenue und Fifth Avenue. Das Bauwerk reicht hierbei von der 40th bis zur 39th Street. Westliches Nachbargebäude ist die an der Fifth Avenue stehende Bibliothek Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (Mid-Manhattan Library). Einen Block nördlich befinden sich die New York Public Library und der Bryant Park. Das Hochhaus wurde vom Architekturbüro Ludlow and Peabody entworfen und von Jesse H. Jones kurz vor der Großen Depression 1928 bis 1929 erbaut. Anfangs trug das Gebäude den Namen „Chase Tower“, benannt nach dem ersten Mieter, der Metallbaufirma Chase Brass and Copper Company. Ursprünglicher Eigentümer war Frederick William Vanderbilt (1856–1938), Mitglied der Familie Vanderbilt und Direktor der New York Central Railroad, der Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad und der Chicago and North Western Railway. Bei Fertigstellung war der Wolkenkratzer mit 192,6 Metern (632 Fuß) Höhe das vierthöchste Gebäude der Welt, unmittelbar hinter dem Chanin Building nur wenige Häuserblöcke entfernt. Gemäß der Zoning Resolution von 1916 errichtete man das Mercantile Building nach oben hin insbesondere an beiden Straßenseiten mit Rücksprüngen verjüngend. Das Gebäude wird von einem mit grüner Patina überzogenen kupfernen Walmdach gekrönt. Stilistisch lässt es sich sowohl in die Neorenaissance als auch Art déco einordnen. Im Gegensatz zur Westfassade sind auf der Ostseite des Gebäudes die Fensteröffnungen nur spärlich vorhanden. Es lässt darauf schließen, dass ursprünglich in Zukunft ähnlich hohe Nachbargebäude geplant, jedoch nie verwirklicht wurden. Von 2001 bis 2002 wurde die Lobby renoviert, wobei man dabei eine kunstvoll verzierte Gipsdecke mit Intarsien freilegte und restaurierte. Als letztes Gebäude in New York City stellte man am 14. November 2007 das ursprüngliche Gleichstromnetz auf Wechselstrom um. Die Firma Henson Architecture führte 2008 eine Gebäudesanierung durch, die das Ziegelmauerwerk, eine Terrakotta-Sanierung an der Fassade und ein Fensteraustausch umfasste. Eigentümer ist mit Stand 2022 die Joseph P. Day Realty Corporation und es werden gegenwärtig 32.276 m² auf den 48 Etagen von Büros eingenommen, die mit 12 Aufzügen erreichbar sind.

10 East 40th Street

10 East 40th Street or the Mercantile Building is a skyscraper on 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is located in the middle of the block between Fifth and Madison avenues, extending south to 39th Street. Designed by Ludlow and Peabody and built by Jesse H. Jones, it was finished in 1929 and is an example of Renaissance Revival architecture. When it was built, it was the fourth-tallest tower in the world. It is 632 feet (193 m) high, with 48 floors, and contains 350,000 sq ft (33,000 m2) of office or mixed-use space. History It was previously known as the Chase Tower, after its first tenant, Chase Brass & Copper. Its owner until his death in 1938 was Frederick William Vanderbilt. During the 1970s, the building housed part of the Mid-Manhattan Library. In September 2002, the building's lobby was renovated, restoring the 15-foot (4.6 m) ceilings. Current tenants include the Moroccan consulate. Last building on the direct current grid On November 14, 2007, the building became the final site to be removed from Thomas Edison's original direct current grid in New York City. The building was completed in 1929 when 90 percent of the electricity in lower Manhattan was direct current. In that year New York Edison announced plans that it was going to convert the entire system to alternating current. The last 2 rotary converter substations generating direct current (at West 26th and West 39th Street) were retired in 1977 and the DC conversions were handled by solid-state rectifier units. The 2007 event shifted the responsibility for providing the conversion from Con Edison to the building via a local converter. Many of the buildings built in 1929 and before still use direct current with the local converter – most notably for elevators. The New York City Subway's third rail electric system is still direct current (with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority providing the local converters from AC to DC.

Garibaldi-Meucci Museum

The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, formerly known as the Garibaldi Memorial, is a c. 1840 Gothic Revival cottage in the Rosebank section of Staten Island, New York. It was home to inventor and candle maker Antonio Meucci (1808–1889). The Italian revolutionary and political leader Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882) lived there from 1851 to 1853. In 1884, Meucci attended a ceremony where a plaque commemorating Garibaldi's stay was placed on the building. The house was moved from its original nearby location in 1907 and placed within an open air colonnaded memorial pavilion, which was later removed. The memorial was dedicated in 1907 to mark Garibaldi's 100th birthday. Since then, on the anniversary of Garibaldi's birth, by coincidence the Fourth of July, the site has been the location of a number of celebrations. A memorial to Meucci was erected in the front yard in 1923. The site also saw a series of anniversary clashes in the years 1925-1932, when the Italian Ambassador Giacomo De Martino's participation was protested by antifascist followers of Carlo Tresca. In 1956 the house was opened as the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, helping to celebrate Italian-American heritage and culture, as well as the lives of Giuseppe Garibaldi and Antonio Meucci. The museum is owned by the National Order Sons of Italy Foundation and administered by the New York Grand Lodge Order Sons of Italy in America. After a major restoration, the museum was rededicated in a ceremony on July 11, 2009, involving museum president John Dabbene, Salvatore Lanzilotta, president of the New York State Order of the Sons of Italy in America, and U.S. Congressional Representative Michael McMahon. The site was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1980. See also Casa Belvedere, another landmark in Staten Island related to the Italian-American experience.

Garibaldi-Meucci Museum

Il Garibaldi-Meucci Museum è una casa museo. Nel 1962 la fabbrica di candele di Antonio Meucci a Staten Island in New York, dove soggiornò per un periodo Giuseppe Garibaldi, venne restaurata e i cimeli raccolti e sistemati. Si ricorda che Meucci in povertà mise nel suo testamento molti oggetti appartenuti o usati da Garibaldi durante i due anni di permanenza americana, attribuendone un valore storico, che però non venne compreso dai suoi contemporanei, che vendettero per sette lire il letto su cui il generale aveva dormito, il lavamano per due e venticinque e tutto il resto in proporzione. Il cottage di Meucci nel 1962 divenne il Garibaldi-Meucci Museum e nel 1980 dichiarato monumento dello Stato di New York e monumento nazionale degli Stati Uniti. Tutt'oggi è visitabile e ospita la tomba dello stesso Meucci.

Guaranty Building

Het Guaranty Building, nu bekend als Prudential Building, is een vroege vorm van de eerste wolkenkrabbers in Buffalo, New York. Het gebouw is gerealiseerd in 1896 en is ontworpen door Louis Sullivan en Dankmar Adler. Sullivans ontwerp van het gebouw was gebaseerd op het idee "form follows function". Hij en Adler verdeelden het gebouw in vier zones, zichtbaar in de expressie en ornamenten van het gevelbeeld. De kelder was de zone voor mechanische en ulitaire functies. Gezien deze verdieping ondergronds was, hoefde deze functie niet getoond te worden in het gevelbeeld. De tweede zone op de begane grond daarentegen vulde een publieke functie, met publieke entrees, lobbies en winkelruimtes aan de straat. De derde zone bestond uit de identieke kantoor-verdiepingen, met kantoorcellen geclusterd rond liftschachten. De laatste zone op de bovenste verdieping sloot het geheel af, bestaand de weggewerkte utiliteitsfuncties en een paar kantoorruimtes. De stalen draagconstructie was verfraaid met terracottablokken. De verschillende expressies van de gevelversieringen benadrukken de drie verschillende zones van het gebouw. Galerij
