David Geffen Hall

O Avery Fisher Hall, localizado na cidade de Nova Iorque, é um edifício situado no complexo do Lincoln Center. Com cerca de 2 740 assentos, o prédio é a atual sede da Orquestra Filarmônica de Nova Iorque. É utilizado atualmente para a realização de diversos eventos, sejam eles musicais ou não. Além de concertos da Filarmônica de Nova Iorque, nele ocorrem casamentos e cerimônias de graduação das mais diversas instituições, por exemplo. História O Avery Fisher Hall foi construído em 1962 originalmente com o nome de Philharmonic Hall. A mudança de nome ocorreu quando Avery Fisher, membro da direção da Filarmônica de Nova Iorque, doou cerca de 10.5 milhões de dólares para a orquestra em 1973. O projeto arquitetônico do edifício é de Max Abramovitz. Acústica O projeto acústico da sala de concertos do Avery Fisher Hall foi incumbido à BBN Technologies (Bolt, Beranek & Newman). Baseados na sua experiência em projetar novas salas e analisar outras já existentes, os peritos da BBN recomendaram que o hall fosse projetado no formato de uma caixa de sapatos (similar ao do Boston Symphony Hall), com capacidade para 2400 pessoas. O Lincoln Center inicialmente aceitou a recomendação e a BBN forneceu uma série de indicações e especificações para o projeto. No entanto, o jornal New York Herald Tribune iniciou uma campanha para que o número de assentos da nova sala fosse maior. As críticas foram aceitas e o hall foi redesenhado, o que acabou por descaracterizar boa parte do projeto acústico da BBN. Os técnicos da companhia alertaram o Lincoln Center de que o som produzido poderia ser diferente do desejado, embora eles tenham preferido não profetizar que tipo de efeitos as mudanças poderiam proporcionar. No dia 23 de setembro de 1962 o hall foi aberto para uma série de vistorias. Muitos repórteres criticaram o projeto, enquanto que apenas dois maestros elogiaram sua acústica. Foram realizadas muitas tentativas para melhorar os problemas acústicos do hall, com pouco sucesso, o que levou ao desenvolvimento de um projeto significativo de renovação, planejado pelo perito em acústica Cyril Harris. Essas renovações contribuíram para melhorar a qualidade do som, mas o Avery Fisher Hall continua tendo sua acústica como alvo de críticas até os dias atuais.

Valhalla station

Valhalla station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, located in Mount Pleasant, New York. History Rail service in Valhalla can be traced as far back as 1846, with the establishment of the New York and Harlem Railroad, which installed a station named "Davis Brook," but by 1851 the name had been changed to "Kensico." The NY&H became part of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1864 and eventually taken over by the New York Central Railroad. By the late-1880s Kensico and the rail line that ran through it were relocated to make way for the Kensico Reservoir despite protests from the community lasting for the rest of the century, and the community that replaced it was named "Valhalla." The current station house was built in 1890, and at some point was converted into a restaurant. As with most of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed the station into a Penn Central Railroad station. Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s forced them to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority which made it part of Metro-North in 1983. Prior to Metro-North Railroad's electrification of this section of the Harlem Line in 1984, service at the station had been greatly reduced compared to other similar stations. In the late 1970s, weekday service was about half that of most other stations north of North White Plains, and weekend service was limited to a flag stop for six trains. By 1990, service had been restored to fourteen trains a day on weekends, the equivalent of that at other similar stations. 2015 accident On February 3, 2015, the Valhalla train crash occurred north of the station, in which a Metro-North train crashed into a Mercedes-Benz SUV at Commerce Street near the Taconic State Parkway. The crash caused six deaths and at least 15 injuries, including seven serious injuries. Station layout The station has one six-car-long high-level island platform serving trains in both directions.

Valley Stream State Park

Valley Stream State Park ist ein State Park auf Long Island im US-Bundesstaat New York, nur ca. 3,5 km von John F. Kennedy International Airport entfernt. Er erstreckt sich über 97 acre (0,39 km²) im Wohngebiet Valley Stream in Nassau County. Geographie Der State Park liegt in einer dichtbesiedelten Gegend, in nächster Nachbarschaft zu mehreren Grund- und weiterführenden Schulen (Howell Road School, Valley Stream Public Schools, James A Dever School, Wheeler Avenue School, Memorial Junior High School). Wobei der Southern State Parkway den Park nach Norden begrenzt und von der Howell Road School trennt. Der Park folgt in seiner Anlage dem Verlauf des Valley Stream, der den Park an der Südwest-Grenze von Norden nach Südosten durchquert und an dessen Ufern bis zur Mündung in das Head of Bay noch weitere kommunale Parks liegen (Arthur J. Hendrickson Park, Village Green Park, Edward W. Cahill Memorial Park, Brook Road Park, Hook Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, North Woodmere Park). Der Park ist einer von drei State Parks in der Town of Hempstead. Zusammen mit Hempstead Lake State Park dient er als Zubringer-Reservoir für das Ridgewood Reservoir. Der Valley Stream State Park ist ein Naherholungsziel, der leicht über den Southern State Parkway (exit 15A) zu erreichen ist. Es gibt einen Naturlehrpfad, die Möglichkeit zum Schlitten- und Skifahren, Spiel- und Sportplätze und Picknickplätze mit Feuerstellen und Grills. Der State Park ist eines der Projekte, die Robert Moses angestoßen hat. Siehe auch State Parks in New York Weblinks New York State Parks: Valley Stream State Park stateparks.com Einzelnachweise

Initially the park included Cornell's Pond, which had a freshwater beach that charged an admission fee of 10 cents. Crowded and unsanitary conditions led local residents to lobby for its closing in 1947. In 1958, the state to transferred the park's southern portion with this pond to the Village of Valley Stream.

Van Cortlandt House Museum

Das Van Cortlandt House Museum (auch Frederick Van Cortlandt House oder einfach Van Cortlandt House) ist das älteste Gebäude im Stadtbezirk Bronx in New York City. Es liegt im südwestlichen Teil des ca. 450 ha großen Van Cortlandt Parks im Wohnviertel Van Cortlandt Village des Stadtteils Riverdale und ist über den Broadway (U.S. Route 9) erreichbar. Es steht im National Register of Historic Places (Nr. 67000010) sowie als National Historic Landmark unter Denkmalschutz. Geschichte Das Haus baute Frederick Van Cortlandt (1699–1749) für seine Familie im Jahre 1748. Van Courtland verstarb vor der Fertigstellung, und das Anwesen kam seinem Sohn James Van Cortlandt (1727–1787) zu. Die in New York City prominente Händlerfamilie Van Courtlandt setzte eine Getreideplantage und -Mühle auf das Grundstück. Das während des Unabhängigkeitskrieges zeitweilig von Rochambeau, Lafayette und George Washington genutzt diente zeitweise als Hauptquartier der Kontinentalarmee. Die Familie Van Courtlandt wohnte dort 140 Jahre lang, bis das Anwesen 1889 an die Stadtverwaltung New York verkauft und in einen öffentlichen Park umgewandelt wurde. Das Van Courtlandt House wurde am 24. Dezember 1967 in das National Register of Historic Places und am 24. Dezember 1976 als National Historic Landmark eingetragen. Seit 1897 wird das Haus als Museum bewirtschaftet (das älteste Museum in New York City und das viertälteste in den Vereinigten Staaten). Architektur Das georgianische L-förmige Haus zählt zweieinhalb Stockwerke und hat ein Walmdach. Es wurde mit Feldsteinen gebaut. Es gilt als eines der vornehmsten Beispiele der hohen georgianischen Architektur mit Stein in den Vereinigten Staaten. Das Haus steht auf einem 78 ha (192 Acres) großen Grundstück. Trivia Das Gebäude wurde in der Episode „Battle of the Century“ der zweiten Staffel der Fernsehserie Boardwalk Empire als ein Haus in Belfast dargestellt.

Van Tassell and Kearney Horse Auction Mart

The Van Tassell and Kearney Horse Auction Mart is a building in East Village, Manhattan, New York City. The building was constructed in 1903-04 to the designs of Jardine, Kent & Jardine in the Beaux-Arts Style. It originally served as a horse auction mart that catered to New York's elite families, including the Vanderbilts and Delanos. Each Tuesday and Friday, Van Tassell & Kearney held auctions in the building. Though carriages remained an important part of the business, most advertisements and newspaper stories about the mart concerned the sale of horses, particularly high-priced ribbon winners, polo ponies, hunters, and thoroughbreds. Other sales were devoted to breeding stock and coach horses, including a large group of horses co-owned by Alfred W. Vanderbilt and Robert L. Gerry in 1906. As automobiles and other forms of public transit became much more common after World War I, the practical need for horses and stables decreased. The auction mart ceased functioning in the 13th Street building. It served as an assembly-line training center for women during World War II. From 1978 to 2005, artist Frank Stella owned the building and used it as his studio. His nearly 30-year stewardship of the building resulted in the facade being cleaned and restored. In 2006, after discovering plans of a new owner to demolish the building and replace it with a condo development, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP) asked the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to hold an emergency hearing on the structure. There was significant support for designation, including City Councilmember Rosie Mendez. Playing on the history of the building as an assembly line training center for women during World War II, GVSHP used the iconic "We Can Do It!" image (often associated with Rosie the Riveter) on stickers, flyers, and T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "We Can Save It! Landmark 128 East 13th Street" as part of the campaign to secure landmark designation for the building. The LPC held a public hearing and halted demolition plans, but did not immediately designate the building. On November 29, 2007, the building was listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places. GVSHP and other advocates continued to push for designation. In May 2012, after a 6-year campaign, the LPC voted unanimously to designate the former Van Tassell & Kearney Horse Auction Mart a New York City designated landmark. In January 2010 after an extensive renovation, Peridance Center opened here at its new location. That facility included a performance venue, the KnJ Theater.
