Garden School

Garden School is a co-educational independent school in East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City offering a K-12 education. History Garden School was founded in 1923, taking its name from the newly conceived garden apartment complexes in the then-rural community of Jackson Heights. The first classes were grades K–3 and met in the Laburnum Court Apartments under the guidance of Dorothy Gleen, Charles Townshend, and Josephine Wech. In 1925, grades 4–6 were added as John Bosworth Laing became the director. In 1927 Otis Flower assumed leadership as headmaster and moved the school to its current location. It had its first graduating class in 1929, presenting three students. Within three years Garden Country Day School became an independent school, with a board of trustees, under the New York State guidelines for not-for-profit schools. Amid financial trouble in 2012, the school agreed to sell an athletic field to the city for $6 million. The school's sports team, called the Garden Griffins, offers multiple sports per season. As of 2025, Garden School is $28,408 per year for Nursery through Grade 12. There's a $500 sibling discount for each child after the first. Additionally, there are Junior and Senior fees of $200 each. As of 2021, the Head of School is Christopher F. Herman. Death of Rory Staunton In 2012, Garden School contributed to the death of 12-year-old student Rory Staunton, who died from septic shock following a minor injury sustained at the school where Staunton scraped his arm. According to court filings and contemporaneous reporting, the injury was addressed by a gym teacher who applied a bandage; the wound was not cleaned, and Staunton was not sent to the school nurse. His parents were not notified of the injury. Over the following days, Staunton developed symptoms including fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. He was later hospitalized and died on April 1, 2012. Subsequent investigations and media reports raised concerns about the school’s injury-response procedures and its failure to notify the student’s family. The case received national attention and contributed to increased public awareness of pediatric sepsis. In response, New York State enacted “Rory’s Regulations” in 2014. Academics Garden School has Spanish, French and Mandarin as the languages on offer. There are 26 teachers and 259 students in Garden School, making it a small school with a 10:1 student to teacher ratio. Garden School offers 7 AP courses: AP Biology, AP Calculus, AP English, AP French, AP Modern European History, AP Spanish and AP US History.

Gardiners Island Windmill

Gardiners Island Windmill is a historic windmill on Gardiners Island in East Hampton, New York. The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. History The windmill, by Nathaniel Dominy V, was raised on 23 May 1795 on the "Mill lot" within 50 feet of the old "Petticoat mill" (1771). The 'Petticoat' was dilapidated after the Revolutionary war and need replacement. It was painted white, like the nearby wharf, to aid sailor's navigation. For the next 20 years John Lyon Gardiner (1770-1816) made no notation in his farm book about the mill, then there was a storm and collapse in 1815 and he required new timbers. The dock also blew away in the storm. Repairs Dominy V and his workers came and restored the mill to working order from October to February 1816. Indications are the 1816 version was different inside than when newly built in 1795. This had to do with V's evolving use of different technology than when apprenticing for IV and the inside was more like contemporary windmills on Rhode Is. and Cape Cod. Nathaniel Dominy V did more repairs in 1826 and worked for 6 days on Gardiner's Island in 1833, where he installed a new windshaft, stocks and points in the mill. 19th century An 1885 article on Gardiner's Island appeared in The Century magazine which mentioned "the windmill that supplies flour for the whole population.", meaning Gardiner's Island, indicating it was still in operation. The last known record of the operation of the windmill was an entry in Jonathan Thompson Gardiner's account book in 1889, which credited John B. Lawrence with "making Mill Sails".

Garrison station (Metro-North)

Garrison station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, located in Philipstown, New York. History Rail service in Garrison can be traced as far back as the 1850s with the Hudson River Railroad. Prior to this, the only major transportation in the community was the ferry to West Point. Garrison Landing was built around the station, which, along with the line, was acquired by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad (NYC&HR) in 1864, and like many others on the Hudson Line, it is also right on the Hudson River. In 1892, NYC&HR rebuilt the station with elements of the Italianate, Victorian Gothic and Hudson River Bracketed styles, similar to stations such as Dobbs Ferry. On October 24, 1897, the Garrison train crash occurred 1.75-mile (2.82 km) south of the station at Kings Dock, resulting in 19 deaths (mostly from drowning) and hundreds of injuries. A pedestrian tunnel was added to the station beneath the tracks in 1929. In April 1945, the station was a stop on the funeral train of Franklin D. Roosevelt, where West Pointers could pay tribute to the dead president as his body was transported to Hyde Park. The station house became a Penn Central station upon the merger between NYC and Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968, like many NYCRR stations in Putnam County. Bankruptcy for Penn Central in 1970 forced them to turn passenger service over to the MTA in 1972, even through the period when it was taken over by Conrail in 1976, and then by Metro-North Railroad in 1983 which rebuilt a new station south of the former NYC station house. The former station house became a contributing property to the Garrison Landing Historic District in 1982, and has been the headquarters of the Philipstown Depot Theatre since 1996. In popular culture The original Garrison Depot building (still standing just north of the current Metro-North station), the surrounding buildings, the overpass, and the tunnel just north of the depot were prominently seen in 1969 film Hello, Dolly! during the "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" number. The building was given some retro facade work and was "dressed up" as Yonkers, New York. Station layout The station has two high-level side platforms each six cars long. The Garrison Landing Historic District is immediately to the northwest of the station.

Gene Polisseni Center

The Gene Polisseni Center (colloquially known as the Polisseum or by its initials, the GPC) is an ice arena on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus in Henrietta, New York. Ground was broken for the project on October 19, 2012, and the arena was officially dedicated on September 18, 2014. The arena is the home of the varsity ice hockey teams at RIT, replacing the Frank Ritter Memorial Ice Arena. Ritter Arena continued to be used as an ice arena until 2021 when it was converted to a temporary library, and is soon to be repurposed into an indoor turf field. The Polisseni Center serves primarily as a hockey arena (for RIT varsity hockey and local youth programs), and it will also be a multi-purpose venue. The Polisseni Center is built not far from Ritter Arena on the RIT campus, south of the Student Alumni Union, replacing portions of parking lot U. Fundraising efforts Fundraising was started with a $1 million USD donation from Stephen and Vicki Schultz. Naming rights were given based on a $4.5 million donation from the Polisseni Foundation (with backing from B. Thomas Golisano) and were announced on November 11, 2011 during the men's hockey game against Air Force. With arena construction being an estimated $30 million, the funding of the project has been divided into two components. The first half will be borrowed against RIT's endowment fund (worth $544 million), and paid back with sponsorship and ticket sales. The second half of the cost is a grassroots fundraising effort called the Tiger Power Play. The Tiger Power Play is an effort to bring in both big name donations (like Tom Golisano) as well as garner support from students and alumni. Small donations could be made by cell phone text message. Larger donations have been working directly with school administration. Sales of nameplates for seats is also available, initially costing $1,000 per nameplate, and later reduced to $500. J. M. Allain, the former CEO of Trans-Lux and an RIT graduate, donated $1 million for a new video scoreboard. Temporary closure The arena was temporarily shut down on October 15, 2021 for an ammonia leak early in the morning, which also closed down the neighboring Andrews Memorial Drive and Parking Lot U. This prompted University officials to move their women's hockey exhibition game against Cornell University to the Blue Cross Arena in Downtown Rochester and postpone their women's hockey game against St. Lawrence to Tuesday, November 23. The arena reopened on October 29, 2021, when the women's team hosted St. Thomas and the men's team hosted Mercyhurst. References External links Official website

Park Avenue Plaza

Park Avenue Plaza es un edificio de oficinas en el distrito de Manhattan de la ciudad de Nueva York, que ocupa el bloque delimitado por las calles 52 y 53, Park Avenue y Madison Avenue, adyacente al edificio Racquet and Tennis Club. Park Avenue Plaza fue diseñado por el estudio de arquitectura de Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, y fue construido entre 1979 y 1981.​ El edificio tiene una altura de 175 m, con 44 pisos sobre rasante, y cuenta con más de un millón de pies cuadrados disponibles.​ A partir de 2018, la propiedad del edificio se divide entre Fisher Brothers y SOHO China del magnate inmobiliario chino Zhang Xin. Arquitectura El edificio comparte un lote de zonificación con el Racquet and Tennis Club, y aunque ese edificio técnicamente se encuentra entre Plaza y Park Avenue, según las reglas de zonificación de la ciudad, Plaza está en Park Avenue.​ Arquitectónicamente, el edificio ha sido descrito como "[un] prisma de vidrio voluminoso".​ A diferencia de los edificios vecinos que cuentan con una gran plaza abierta, Park Avenue Plaza "evita la plaza abierta en favor de un gran atrio público interior",​ que presenta "una cascada sutil" y un restaurante.​ Por lo tanto, se ha señalado, Park Avenue Plaza en realidad "no está ubicado en Park Avenue" y tampoco "tiene plaza".​ El atrio fue "obligado por las concesiones de zonificación obtenidas" para permitir la construcción del edificio,​ y se describe como "un elegante espacio acristalado de dos pisos".​ Uso e inquilinos En 2011, el magnate inmobiliario chino Zhang Xin adquirió una participación de 600 millones de dólares en Park Avenue Plaza.​ A partir de 2015, SOHO China de Zhang Xin poseía una participación del 49% en el edificio, y el resto era propiedad de Fisher Brothers.​ El atrio es "muy utilizado por un espectro inusualmente amplio de neoyorquinos".​ El edificio también contiene una galería comercial que "no es legalmente parte del espacio público" que el edificio debe mantener, pero que aún está abierta al público.​ Los inquilinos más grandes del edificio han incluido la corporación de gestión de inversiones BlackRock, la firma consultora McKinsey & Company y la firma de seguros Swiss Re.​ En 2018, dos de los inquilinos más grandes se mudaron del edificio, pero otro gran inquilino, el banco de inversión Evercore, firmó un acuerdo para renovar y ampliar su arrendamiento.​ En marzo de 2018, Fisher Brothers organizó una competencia de diseño en el atrio, donde los participantes propusieron nuevos usos fantásticos para espacios infrautilizados a lo largo de Park Avenue.​ Véase también Arquitectura de Nueva York Referencias
General Winfield Scott House

The General Winfield Scott House is a historic rowhouse at 24 West 12th Street in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. Built in 1851–52, the house was home to US Army general and unsuccessful Whig presidential candidate Winfield Scott (1786–1866) from 1853 to 1855. Best known as the leader of the United States Army during the Mexican–American War, Scott had a significant effect on the Army for about half a century. The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973. Description and history The General Winfield Scott House is located in Greenwich Village, on the south side of West 12th Street, roughly midway between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. It is one of a pair of virtually identical brownstones, four stories in height. The ground floor functions visually as a basement level, with a rusticated ashlar exterior topped by a projecting cornice and metal balustrade. The entrances and window bays on this level have keystoned rounded arches, with the entrances further articulated by paneled pilasters and scrolled brackets. Upper-level windows are set in segmental-arch openings, with eyebrow cornices. The pair of houses was built in 1851–52 by Charles Partridge, a local businessman who lived next door. Number 24 was sold to Winfield Scott in 1853 and served as his home until 1855. Although Scott is best known as an unsuccessful presidential candidate in the 1852 election, and as a successful military leader in the 1846–48 Mexican–American War, he had a long and influential military career before these events. He was a successful drillmaster and leader in the War of 1812 and published a handbook on infantry tactics that was the first of its kind for the United States Army. He was also a successful negotiator, helping to defuse several crises in which military action was threatened, including the Nullification Crisis of 1832–33, and the Aroostook War of 1838–39.
