Poughkeepsie Meeting House (Hooker Avenue)

Poughkeepsie Meeting House (Hooker Avenue) is a historic Quaker (Society of Friends) meeting house at 249 Hooker Avenue in Poughkeepsie, New York. It was built in 1927, and is a two-story, rectangular, Colonial Revival style brick building, with a basement. It has a gable roof and projecting entrance pavilion. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Design The design of the meeting house is unusual, having swayed away from the designs of traditional Quaker meeting houses. It was a result of the reunification of the two groups of Quakers that had initially separated from a schism in 1827, where two thirds of Quakers abandoned the philosophies of their founder, George Fox, and instead turned to the ideals taught by Long Island preacher, Elias Hicks. By 1926, when it was time to construct a new meeting house in Poughkeepsie, the number of local “Hicksite” Quakers was diminishing, so many had joined the Orthodox Quakers. Alfred Bussel, a New York City architect, was chosen to design a meeting house that appealed to all members. Since he had studied at Haverford College, a Quaker school, Bussell was very familiar with the Society of Friends traditions. One branch had suggested a church-like structure with steeple, organ, and stained-glass windows, while the other wanted a more traditional style meeting house, i.e. evoking simplicity, equality, community, and peace. The design therefore was a unity between the two branches, a sign of what was to come with the official reunification in the 1950s. The result is a simple, colonial revival building without stained-glass or any sort of liturgical ornamentation or symbols, as per Quaker tradition, but had a single front door (Quaker meeting houses had separate entrances for men and women) and an interior layout akin to a church; a central aisle with rows of pews on either side all facing the front of the building.

In October 2021, the club defaulted on $39.3 million in mortgage debt from lender Sterling National Bank. In December 2021, 15 West 43rd Street LLC purchased the defaulted loan from Sterling and in June 2022 the LLC sued to foreclose on the property. 15 West 43rd Street LLC, a shell company, bought the building in December 2023 for $8 million and placed it for sale in early 2025. The clubhouse's owner at the time was the billionaire John Paulson. The Columbia University Club of New York was in residence at the Princeton Club from 1998 to 2017, when it left to become in-residence at The Penn Club at 30 West 44th Street. Similarly, the in-residence Williams Club also moved to the Penn Club of New York in March 2022 following the closure of the Princeton Club.

Professional Children's School

The Professional Children's School (PCS) is a not-for-profit, college-preparatory school geared toward working and aspiring child actors and dancers in grades four through twelve. The school was founded in New York City in 1914 to provide an academic education to young people working on the New York stage, in vaudeville, or "on the road". PCS was co-founded by Jean Greer and Jane Harris Hall when they learned that children who were working in entertainment were not able to attend traditional school. The school's premises were originally at The Rehearsal Club on West 45th Street in Midtown Manhattan, and later at 1860 Broadway, near West 61st Street, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. It subsequently moved to 132 West 60th Street in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Manhattan. The school's curriculum and hours have changed over time. The New York Times wrote in 1994 that it "is the country's only fully accredited nonprofit school offering an academic college-preparatory education for those studying for careers in the arts and young performers with special scheduling needs." Students who are especially successful in their careers, such as in ballet, may not go to college after all. A book published in 2005 described scenes at the school that were common with regular schools in terms of the subjects being studied, but with added provisions for remote learning when students were on tour with a production and with the added social comfort of being around other children going through the same experiences.

Field of Screams is a Halloween themed event for children that has been held every October since 2015. IceFest 2016 was hosted by the stadium on February 28, 2016. There was an ice rink installed inside the stadium, and the St. Thomas Aquinas College men's ice hockey team played against Columbia University that day. This event marked the first time that another sport other than baseball was played in the stadium. Other ice hockey teams that took the ice at the outdoor rink also included Nyack/Tappan Zee High School and Clarkstown North High School. The park hosted the 2019 Can-Am League/Frontier League Home Run Derby on July 9, 2019, and the Can-Am League/Frontier League All-Star Game on July 10, 2019.

P.S. 157

P.S. 157 is a historic school building located at 327 St. Nicholas Avenue between West 126th and West 127th Streets in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built from 1896 to 1899 and was designed by C. B. J. Snyder in the Renaissance Revival style. It ceased being a school in 1975, and was converted to rental apartments in 1993. History P.S. 157 – "P.S." stands for "Public School" – signified a philosophical change in school design from what the Real Estate Record and Guide described as a tradition of "the school life of a child as a grinding, manufacturing process to which the factory style of building is eminently suitable." In 1891 Snyder took over as chief architect for the city's schools from George Debevois, whose buildings the Guide called "warehouses" that were a "civic disgrace." Work on the school began in 1896, and it opened in 1899 to 1,974 students in 45 classrooms. Unlike Debevois' "factories", P.S. 157's design is derived from French and Flemish civic architecture. The limestone, brick and terra cotta building features dormers and a red tile roof, and could pass for a group of row houses if it was smaller in scale. The building functioned as a school until 1975, when it became vacant, and was subject to vandalism. The drive to rehabilitate the building and covert it into apartments for low- and middle-income families began in the late 1970s, led by New York state's Harlem Urban Development Corporation and the city's Department of Housing, Preservation and Development. Work began on the project c.1989 and was completed in 1993. The building now consists of 73 rental apartments, some of them rent stabilized, on five floors. P.S. 157 was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 10, 1982. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Manhattan above 110th Street References Notes

Pythian Temple

Le Pythian Temple est un bâtiment historique de style Art déco situé au 135 West 70th Street entre Colombus et Broadway dans le quartier de Lincoln Square à Manhattan, New York. Historique L’immeuble est construit en 1927 pour servir de lieu de réunion aux 120 loges new-yorkaises des Chevaliers de Pythias, une société secrète fondée en 1864. On y trouve au second étage un auditorium de 1600 places. À partir des années 1940, il abrite, pendant de nombreuses années, un studio d'enregistrement. C’est au Pythian Temple que l’auteur-compositeur-interprète Bill Haley enregistre, le 12 avril 1954, le titre Rock Around the Clock. Buddy Holly (1936-1959) et Billie Holiday (1915-1959) y enregistrent également. En 1958, le bâtiment est acheté par l’Institut de technologie de New York. En 1986, sous la direction de l'architecte David Gura, l’immeuble est transformé en bâtiment d’habitation et divisé en appartements. Cela entraîne l’ouverture de nombreuses fenêtres sur la façade, auparavant aveugle. Aujourd'hui, le Pythian Temple est un immeuble de luxe en copropriété composé de 88 logements, connu sous le nom de The Pythian. Architecture D’une hauteur de 45 m, le bâtiment de style Art déco a l’allure d’un temple néo-égyptien flamboyant. Il est décoré de motifs sumériens, assyriens et égyptiens. On relève au-dessus du pavillon d’entrée en terre cuite bleue vernissée l’inscription If fraternal love held all men bound, how beautiful this world would be, devise de l’ordre des Chevaliers de Pythias. Résidents connus Le réalisateur, producteur et scénariste américain Robert Altman y a vécu des années 1990 à sa mort en 2006. La chanteuse Lady Gaga y a passé la plus grande partie de son enfance.

Quackenbush House

Quackenbush House is a historic building in Albany, New York. It is a house with a double-pitched gable roof that was built in about 1736. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. History The Quackenbush House, built in the 1730s, was until recently considered the oldest house and structure in the city of Albany. However, it has recently been discovered that 48 Hudson Avenue may have been built as early as 1728. The Quackenbush House was originally beyond the city limit of the city of Albany as established by the Dongan Charter at Clinton Avenue, which was Patroon Street at the time. In 1812 the city would annex land to the north including the Quackenbush House. The building has been home to two French restaurants, Nicole's Bistro (1995–2008) and Le Canard Enchaine (2008–2009). Today the building is home to an English-style pub, The Olde English Pub and Pantry. The current mailing address for the restaurant is 25 Quackenbush Square. Also at Quackenbush Square is the Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center with a gift shop, the Henry Hudson Planetarium, and the Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
