Queensbury Hotel

The Queensbury Hotel, in Glens Falls, New York, is a historic hotel built in 1926. It featured Colonial Revival architecture in its exterior, mahogany in its interior styling and room doors, and had more than 200 rooms. In 2021, after renovations including in 2019, it has 125 rooms and suites as well as the Queen's Ballroom and other event spaces and amenities. It includes an "upscale" bar/restaurant, Fenimore's Pub. Along with the town of Queensbury surrounding Glens Falls, it most likely was named for Queen Charlotte. The hotel has long been part of the Glens Falls' fabric, being located in its downtown, on Ridge Street (New York State Route 9L). It faces across City Park to the historic City Hall building. The Paramount Theatre, once one of three movie theaters in Glens Falls, formerly across Ridge Street from the hotel, was open from the 1930s to the 1970s, and was ultimately demolished in 1979. History By 1916, it became a goal of local boosters (businessmen, the Chamber of Commerce, and city officials) to have a hotel built. It would serve tourists going to and from the Adirondacks, and non-local businessmen, and it would serve as a community center. On March 6, 1924, at the Glens Falls Insurance Co., 100 businessmen met and unanimously voted to organize a Glens Falls Hotel Corporation and to build a $600,000 modern hotel. Both the Glens Falls Insurance company and Finch, Pruyn and Company subscribed to $50,000 worth of stock. Enthusiastic efforts led to $440,000, equivalent to about $6.6 million in 2019, being raised in only eight days. Construction began later that year. Since then, a number of renovations have added guestrooms and meeting rooms and more. During 2009 to 2014 the hotel's business was boosted by activity of the Glens Falls' Adirondack Phantoms, an American Hockey League team which played at Glens Falls Civic Center. In 2010 it hosted Jerry D'Amigo and team-mates of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who were in town to play the Phantoms. It was bought in March 2016 by self-styled "Adirondack Region entrepreneur" Ed Moore. It became a member of the Historic Hotels of America program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2017. In 2018 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with reference number 100002924. Other In 2020 it was election night headquarters for U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik, who gave a victory speech on November 3. In 2021 it has been difficult for the Lake George region's tourism industry, including this hotel, to hire up post-Covid, for both seasonal and permanent employees. In April the manager of The Queensbury Hotel and of the Fairfield Inn & Suites reported there were 60 positions unfilled, between the two hotels.

The Queensbury Hotel

El Queensbury Hotel, en Glens Falls, Nueva York, es un hotel histórico construido en 1926.​ Presentaba arquitectura de renacimiento colonial en su exterior, caoba en su estilo interior y puertas de habitaciones, y tenía más de 200 habitaciones.​ En 2021, después de las renovaciones incluidas en 2019, cuenta con 125 habitaciones y suites, así como el Queen's Ballroom y otros espacios y servicios para eventos.​ Incluye un bar/restaurante "exclusivo", Fenimore's Pub.​ Junto con la ciudad de Queensbury que rodea Glens Falls, probablemente recibió su nombre de la reina Charlotte.​ Fue durante mucho tiempo parte del tejido de Glens Falls, estando ubicado en el centro de la ciudad, en Ridge Street (Ruta 9L del estado de Nueva York). Se enfrenta a través de City Park al histórico edificio del Ayuntamiento. El Paramount Theatre, una vez uno de los tres cines en Glens Falls, anteriormente al otro lado de Ridge Street desde el hotel, estuvo abierto desde la década de 1930 hasta la de 1970, y finalmente fue demolido en 1979.​ Historia Para 1916, se convirtió en un objetivo de los impulsores locales (empresarios, la Cámara de Comercio y funcionarios de la ciudad) construir un hotel. Serviría a los turistas que van y vienen de Adirondacks, ya los empresarios no locales, y serviría como un centro comunitario. El 6 de marzo de 1924, en Glens Falls Insurance Co., 100 hombres de negocios se reunieron y votaron unánimemente para organizar una Glens Falls Hotel Corporation y construir un hotel moderno de 600,000 dólares. Tanto Glens Falls Insurance Company como Finch, Pruyn and Company suscribieron acciones por un valor de 50,000 dólares. Los esfuerzos entusiastas llevaron a $ 440,000, equivalentes a alrededor de 6,6 millones de dólares en 2019, que se recaudaron en solo ocho días. La construcción comenzó más tarde ese año. Desde entonces, una serie de renovaciones han agregado habitaciones y salas de reuniones y más.​ Desde 2009 a 2014, el negocio del hotel se vio impulsado por la actividad de los Adirondack Phantoms de Glens Falls, un equipo de la liga estadounidense de hockey que jugó en el Centro Cívico de Glens Falls . En 2010 recibió a Jerry D'Amigo y compañeros de equipo de los Toronto Maple Leafs, que estaban en la ciudad para jugar contra los Phantoms.​ Fue comprado en marzo de 2016 por el autoproclamado "empresario de la región de Adirondack" Ed Moore.​ Se convirtió en miembro del programa Historic Hotels of America del National Trust for Historic Preservation en 2017.​ En 2018 fue inscrita en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos, con el número de referencia 100002924. En 2020 fue la sede de la noche electoral de la representante estadounidense Elise Stefanik, quien pronunció un discurso de victoria el 3 de noviembre.​ El 2021 fue difícil para la industria turística de la región del lago George, incluido este hotel, contratar después de Covid, tanto para empleados temporales como permanentes. En abril, el gerente del Hotel Queensbury y del Fairfield Inn & Suites informó que había 60 puestos vacantes entre los dos hoteles.​ Referencias Enlaces externos El Hotel Queensbury, sitio oficial
Day's End (David Hammons)

Day's End is a 2021 permanent public art project designed by the American artist David Hammons. Originally commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the work consists of an architectural outline of a pier made of stainless steel tubes and precast concrete and installed on the Hudson River Park along the southern edge of Gansevoort Peninsula. History The work was inspired by the 1975 intervention installation work titled Days End by the American 20th-century artist Gordon Matta-Clark. In the original installation, Matta-Clark created five large incisions into the Pier 52 shed, which had formerly occupied the site and measured 373 feet in length and 50 feet in height. The purpose of Matta-Clark's work was to "let in light that would change during days and seasons", which he saw as “a peaceful enclosure”. The artist also described it as a "renovation" of a "decaying sad reminder of a previous industrial era". The contemporary work by Hammons was announced by the Whitney Museum in 2017 and completed in 2021. It is made of stainless steel tubes and precast concrete and consists of an open structure that adheres to the dimensions, proportions, and placement of the previous shed. The director of the Whitney Adam D. Weinberg called the installation a "hybrid" which incorporated "architecture, sculpture, drawing, site-specific project, land art, appropriated object, and none of the above". Reception Upon its unveiling in 2021, Critic Holland Cotter of The New York Times called the work "an immortalizing homage to Gordon Matta-Clark and art history" and suggested that it was "roomy enough to accommodate all the brilliant fragments of an incomparable career". At the same time, Kathleen Langjahr, writing for The Architect's Newspaper, said that Day's End failed to "live up to the impossible hopes of a previous generation". She also remained skeptical of the public character of the artwork saying that the installation, similarly to the neighboring Little Island at Pier 55, was "pitched as a 'gift' from the city’s wealthiest, for which we are expected to be grateful". In a review for Artforum, Peter L'Official recalled the rich queer history of Pier 52, once a prominent cruising site for gay men in the 1970s. He drew attention to the compelling connection between this storied location and Alvin Baltrop's evocative photographs, which capture the homosexual encounters of that era.

St. Mary's Children's Hospital, which was founded in 1870, was described in 2020 as "As New York City’s only post-acute pediatric care facility." In 1951 it moved from its Manhattan location to Queens. Despite its name, it has specialized programs for teens and also for young adults. During the 2020 Coronavirus period, due to parts of their facility being "regulated as an adult nursing home," many of their programs closed March 2020 through May 2021. History They began as "a small, 15-bed hospital in Hell’s Kitchen" in 1870. The hospital's parent's name is St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children, and their programs include specialized healthcare for "children with medical complexity and special healthcare needs."

Scaroon Manor

Scaroon Manor is a campground on Schroon Lake in the Adirondack Park. New York State purchased the site, which had been privately run, in 1967. Prior to its development as a campsite, Scaroon Manor was a high class summer resort. The movie Marjorie Morningstar (1958) was filmed on the site. History Taylor's-on-Schroon, a hotel owned by Charles F. Taylor, was built on the farmland that would become Scaroon Manor in 1879. The hotel occupied 327 acres (132 ha) and had 8,360 feet (2,550 m) of shoreline. It was popular, growing to have a maximum capacity of 150 people. George C. Gobel purchased the hotel from Taylor's son in 1916. He, in turn, sold it to Joseph Frieber in 1925. Frieber revitalized the hotel as Scaroon Manor, which he advertised as "an upscale honeymoon alternative to Niagara Falls." In 1950 it employed 275 people and held up to 750 guests. It was owned by Frieber and his wife, who were assisted William Frieber, Joseph's brother. The manor spent $5,000 ($66,909 in 2025) every year on landscaping and had a golf course, handball, basketball, and tennis. They spent around $80,000 ($1,070,539 in 2025) on entertainment, which included musicals and well known singers and performers, such as Harry Hershfield, Morty Gunty, Joey Bishop, Sophie Tucker, Robert Merrill, Alan King, Americo Bono, and Red Skelton. Mosts of the guests came from Manhattan or Brooklyn, but others came from around the Northwestern United States and Canada. The yearly season ended October 1. The movie Marjorie Morningstar (1958) was filmed on the site. Frieber sold his hotel in 1960 to the Brandt Brothers. In 1967 the New York State government purchased the site and developed it into a campsite. Two years later, the manor was razed. Description The site is 5–6 miles (8.0–9.7 km) south of the town of Schroon, New York, off of U.S. Route 9. The 241 acres (98 ha) campsite, which opened in 2011, has 60 campsites and 1,200 feet (370 m) of shoreline. The manor had an elaborate garden and a 500-seat amphitheatre, and a total of 140 buildings. References
Maple Street Community Garden

Maple Street Community Garden is a community garden in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It is located on Maple Street between Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard and Nostrand Avenue. History Maple Street Community Garden was founded on a vacant lot which formerly had an abandoned house that burned down in 1999. The garden was started by the Maple Street Block Association in 2012 with a $1,000 grant and later $4,800 from the City Council to clean the vacant lot. The lot was privately owned but the gardeners were unable to establish contact with the owners. In September 2014, a limited liability company (LLC) owned by the Makhani brothers claimed to own the lot and tried to evict the gardeners. The LLC furnished a deed which claimed it to have purchased the home from heirs of the original owners. It was later discovered that the brothers had a shady real estate business. In July 2015, the gardeners were briefly barred from the site when the LLC acquired a restraining order. On November 6, 2015, the Brooklyn Supreme Court dismissed the ownership claim of the LLC and ordered an independent legal guardian to find the heirs of the property. In 2016, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and neighborhood Councilman Mathieu Eugene set aside a budget for 2017 to acquire the property for $1.25 million and transfer it to the Parks Department. In 2017, the City Planning Commission approved the acquisition after going through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). In 2021, the garden launched its Fresh Food Box Program with GrowNYC. The garden plots are all gardened communally by members and any neighbor can help on harvest days. References External links Maple Street Community Garden Website
James W. and Lucy S. Elwell House

The James W. and Lucy S. Elwell House is a historic Italianate-style home located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, New York City. It is currently located at 70 Leffferts Place in Brooklyn. It was built in the mid-1850s by merchant James W. Elwell and his wife, Lucy. History In 1854, the Elwells bought a large parcel of land for $20,000 in the Lefferts Place area of South Clinton Hill. The original property extended south from that street to Atlantic Avenue, and the family also built a garden and a flower conservatory. Elwell tended the conservatory and was said to spend 30 minutes every day choosing a flower to put in his lapel. The house remained in family hands until 1939. By then the parcel of land had been reduced to its present size. An article authored by John A. Boyle featured in "American Gardening" discussed the view of Elwell's garden located just beyond the dining room windows. This garden was adorned with beds of foliage plants, including Echeveria secunda and Alternanthera foliage." The Father Divine (Reverend Major Jealous Divine) Church, led by the African-American spiritual leader, bought the property and held it well into the 1970s. In 1986, it was placed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Clinton Hill South Historic District. In 2006, it was designated as an individual landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission which highlighted its "special character and a special historical and aesthetic interest and value as part of the development, heritage, and cultural characteristics of New York City". The designation came as a result of the property owner's seeking a demolition permit for the house. Design and architecture In the 1850s, when the Elwells bought and built the house, the Italianate style was the preferred one for New York merchants who wanted to live in the suburbs of the city. The house still maintains many of the style's signature features, such as a front bay, flat roof and square cupola. The original porch was wrapped around in 1939.

Citi Field

Il Citi Field è uno stadio di baseball situato nel quartiere Queens di New York. Ubicato nel Flushing Meadows Park, è lo stadio che ospita le partite casalinghe dei New York Mets a partire dal 13 aprile del 2009, quando venne giocata la prima partita della stagione regolare contro i San Diego Padres. Storia Progetto Fin dal 1990 i Mets hanno cercato di sostituire lo Shea Stadium, troppo grande e non completamente adatto ad una partita di baseball. Il team svelò un primo modello dello stadio nel 1998. Esso disponeva di un tetto retrattile e di un campo in erba. Nel dicembre del 2001 il sindaco di New York Rudy Giuliani annunciò che entrambe le squadre di baseball della Grande Mela, i New York Mets ed i New York Yankees, erano in trattativa per la costruzione di nuovi stadi. Dopo anni di stallo, i progetti di ciò che oggi è il Citi Field vennero creati come parte della candidatura delle Olimpiadi del 2012, Olimpiadi svoltesi poi a Londra. Se New York avesse vinto, si sarebbe costruito lo stadio olimpico al posto dell'odierno Citi Field, facendo giocare i Mets allo Yankee Stadium per la stagione del 2012. Successivamente si sarebbe modificato l'ipotetico stadio olimpico, facendolo diventare un impianto per il baseball dei Mets a tutti gli effetti. Costruzione Il progetto del nuovo stadio di baseball e delle altre infrastrutture annesse è di $610.000.000, di cui $420.000.000 versati dai Mets. Il contratto include una clausola che manterrà i New York Mets nella Grande Mela fino al 2049. La squadra, poi, possiede lo stadio attraverso una sussidiaria, La Queens Ballpark Company. Il 18 marzo 2006, il team dei Mets svelò il modello ufficiale del nuovo stadio. Nel luglio dello stesso anno iniziarono i lavori di costruzione dell'impianto nel parcheggio dello Shea Stadium. La data di apertura era fissata per marzo del 2009. A fine 2008 la maggior parte delle strutture era completata e, ad aprile dell'anno successivo, venne inaugurato il Citi Field.
