Derby-Hall Bandstand

Derby-Hall Bandstand is a replica of the bandstand which stood on this site in Oyster Bay, New York, United States, and was used by President Theodore Roosevelt and others to give public speeches. The original bandstand was taken down in the 1930s and replaced by a replica in 1981. The location is a featured site on the Oyster Bay History Walk audio walking tour. History The original Derby-Hall Bandstand was used by President Theodore Roosevelt and others to give public speeches. The construction was taken down in the 1930s, and in 1981 a replica took its place to serve as a new platform for public speakers and a gathering place in the heart of the village. Originally it was to be dedicated solely to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt's daughter Ethel Roosevelt Derby. Her godson, Oyster Bay native Leonard Wood Hall, a New York Congressman who also served as chairman of the Republican National Committee during the 1950s, was the principal organizer of the efforts to build the bandstand in her name. When he, too, died before it was completed, it was dedicated to both of them. The view from the bandstand shows two buildings which are almost mirror images; Town Hall and the U.S. Post Office. Old-timers may remember when the site of Town Hall East used to be the Lyric Theatre, where generations of Oyster Bay residents fell in love with the movies. Three cannons surround the bandstand, each with a unique history. The cannon facing Town Hall has on its base a tablet, cast from metal recovered from the wreckage of the USS Maine, which was destroyed in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898. Two hundred and sixty six men lost their lives when more than live tons of powder charges exploded completely destroying the forward third of the ship. Although most historians now agree that the explosion was accidental, tensions in the aftermath of the disaster contributed to America's decision to begin the Spanish–American War of 1898. The cannon itself is a Civil War era Dahlgren gun, named for its inventor Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren. This gun, with its unique "soda bottle" shaped barrel, was manufactured in many sizes and became the standard weapon on Union Naval vessels after 1856. The cannon at the foot of the gazebo stairs is a circa 1861 Civil War trophy gun from the USS R.R. Cuyler. The R.R. Cuyler was a 1202-ton wooden steamship chartered by the Union Navy to enforce a blockade of Florida's west coast. This 30 pound Parrott gun weighs 3,510 pounds (1,590 kg). It was presented to Oyster Bay by the Navy and unveiled by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903.

Devil's Hole State Park

Devil's Hole State Park is a 42-acre (17 ha) state park located in Niagara County, New York, north of the City of Niagara Falls. The day-use park overlooks the lower Niagara River Gorge. History Devil's Hole State Park occupies a location that was historically an important portage used by Native Americans to transport canoes around Niagara Falls and rapids on the Niagara River. It was the location of an early battle between European settlers and Native Americans over control of the portage route. The park was opened in 1924, and is one of the oldest state parks in the region, although it was preceded by Niagara Falls State Park. Description Devil's Hole State Park is a 42-acre (17 ha) day-use park that allows fishing, hiking, picnic tables, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. A popular trail descends into the Niagara River Gorge to allow close access to the rapids below, however off-trail hiking is prohibited due to dangerous conditions. The park is connected with nearby Whirlpool State Park via the Devil's Hole Trail at the gorge's bottom, as well as a trail along the gorge's rim, which together form a complete loop.

Dongan Hills station

The Dongan Hills station is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Dongan Hills, Staten Island, New York. History The station opened on April 23, 1860, with the opening of the Staten Island Railway from Vanderbilt's Landing to Eltingville. The station's original name was Garretson's, named after the original name of the neighborhood of the same name. The station's name changed after the neighborhood was renamed Dongan Hills. The name Garretson still can be found as there is a street that passes under the station. Both names appeared on the October 16, 1921 timetable. On February 21, 1907, the Staten Island Railway petitioned the Public Service Commission (PSC) to get permission to move the Dongan Hills stop from its location south of Seaview Avenue to a location 100 feet (30 m) to the north in between Seaview Avenue and Garretson Avenue. On March 12, 1907, the PSC granted its permission. Station layout The station is located on an embankment at Seaview Avenue and Railroad Avenue on the main line. It has two side platforms and beige canopies. The marble wall at street level on the south end is a legacy of when the line was converted from grade level to the current embankment level today. The grade separation took place in 1933. Free parking is available on a small lot adjacent to the northbound platform, which is owned by the MTA, the agency that controls the rail line. The brick station house is unusually positioned on the northbound side at platform level, unlike other SIR station houses, which are usually located on street level. The Dongan Hills station house had a ticket booth and benches until 1987, and then a vending machine for tokens until July 4, 1997 when the fare was eliminated for all stations south of St. George. South of this station, there is an additional third track that once served a coal distributor. Grates between the rails led to chutes which now open into the backyards of homes that run alongside the embankment. Exits There are staircases at the north end that lead to Garretson Avenue. The Dongan Hills station is handicapped accessible in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, with ramps at the south end that lead to the southern side of Seaview Avenue. Stairs also lead from each platform to the northern side of Seaview Avenue.

Downstate New York

Downstate New York is a region that is generally described as consisting of the southeastern and more densely populated portion of the U.S. state of New York, in contrast to upstate New York, which comprises a larger geographic area with much sparser population distribution. While there is no widely agreed upon definition, the Downstate region is considered to consist of several subregions including New York City, Long Island, the Lower Hudson Valley and may also be considered by residents to include the Mid-Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains areas. The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) defines its "Downstate Region" as including Dutchess and Orange counties, and the counties east and south of them in regions 8, 9 and 10 of the inset map. Both agencies and the general public use varying definitions of the boundary between Upstate and Downstate. Despite being a small portion of the state's total land area, the Downstate region contains approximately two-thirds of New York's entire population. Its layout is largely urban and suburban, and constitutes New York State's portion of the New York metropolitan area, the world's largest urban landmass. New York City, the most populous city in the United States, is home to the United Nations headquarters, and has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. The Upstate New York region, conversely, which forms the vast majority of the state's land area, contains more undeveloped land, including forests and farmland. Official usage One official usage of the term is by the State University of New York ("SUNY") system in the name of its southernmost medical school, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, located in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. The New York State Department of Transportation also uses the term. The term is also used by the New York State Department of Corrections (“NYSDOC”) system in the name of its Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill, New York.

The Downtown Club

The Downtown Club, auch 20 West Street, früher Downtown Athletic Club, ist ein Wolkenkratzer in Manhattan in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten. Er war bis 2002 das Domizil des gleichnamigen Downtown Athletic Clubs und wurde 2005 in ein Wohngebäude umgewandelt. Beschreibung Der Wohnturm befindet sich in Lower Manhattan im Financial District an der Südspitze der Insel an der West Street, einem Teilabschnitt des West Side Highways. Er steht nur wenige Blocks südlich vom World Trade Center entfernt. Etwa 300 Meter westlich fließt der Hudson River. The Downtown Club wurde von den Architekten Starrett & Van Vleck entworfen und in relativ kurzer Zeit von 1929 bis 1930 erbaut. Das Gebäude steht auf dem ehemaligen Gelände des Downtown Athletic Clubs, auf dem sich einst ein Schwimmbad, Tennisplätze und Minigolf befanden. Der Sportclub ließ bis 1930 hier ihr Clubhaus im Stil des Art déco errichten. Der Wolkenkratzer ist 165,3 Meter (542 Fuß) hoch und besitzt 39 Etagen. Er besitzt gemäß den Bauvorschriften von 1916 mehrere Rücksprünge (Setbacks) und hat eine Fassade aus braunen und orangefarbenen Ziegelsteinen. Am 14. November 2000 stellte die Landmarks Preservation Commission der Stadt New York das Gebäude unter Denkmalschutz. Nach der Schließung des Sportclubs im Jahr 2002 wandelte man anschließend das Gebäude bis 2005 in ein Wohngebäude mit 283 Apartments um. Für die Bewohner stehen ein 1100 m² großes Fitnesscenter und eine weitläufige Dachterrasse mit halbprivaten Bereichen zur Verfügung.
