Quaker Ridge Golf Club

Quaker Ridge Golf Club is a private golf club in Scarsdale, New York, that contains the Quaker Ridge Golf Course. Additionally, club grounds encompass numerous tennis courts, a swimming pool, a clubhouse and many other structures along the property. History The club was formed as a Jewish country club in 1916 by a group of businessmen who had acquired the land a year earlier from a smaller, financially strained club. Renowned golf course designer A. W. Tillinghast was brought in to redesign the seven existing holes and construct 11 new ones. The course was completed in 1918 and the Tudor-styled clubhouse was built in 1923. In 1925, the purchase of additional property prompted the club to recommission Tillinghast to incorporate the new land into the existing course. The course has remained relatively unchanged since its construction. A few outdated bunkers were replaced in 1965. Between 1991 and 1993 all the bunkers were restored and several tees were added. Among its many noted features, the course has distinctly narrow fairways. Johnny Farrell was the head professional at the Quaker Ridge from 1919–1930. Mario Guerra is the current head professional. Quaker Ridge has hosted a number of tournaments including two Metropolitan Amateurs, three Metropolitan Opens, two Metropolitan PGA Championships and the 1997 Walker Cup. Quaker Ridge also hosted the Curtis Cup in 2018. In 1969, Jimmy Demaret stated, "Quaker Ridge is the most underrated golf course in the New York area, because it has never been host course to a major championship. I'd like to go on record as saying it would be a tough test of golf for any tournament – the U.S. Open and the PGA included." Two-time PGA Champion Paul Runyan, who played the 1936 Metropolitan Open at Quaker, said that Quaker Ridge "is the greatest golf course in the world." In 2008, Golf Digest rated Quaker Ridge the 30th best course in the United States. The course was also ranked 64th in the world in 2007 by Golf Magazine.

Quarters A, Brooklyn Navy Yard

Quarters A, also known as the Commandant's House, is a historic house on Evans Street in the Vinegar Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. Built beginning in 1805, with a number of later alterations, it remains a prominent example of Federal architecture in New York City. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974 for its association with Matthew C. Perry, commandant of the adjacent Brooklyn Navy Yard 1841–1843, whose opening of Japan to the West in 1854 revolutionized trade and international affairs. The building is now privately owned. Description and history The former Commandant's House is set on a bluff overlooking the western side of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a few blocks south of the East River. It is accessed via a gated drive at the junction of Little and Evans Streets. The house is three and a half stories in height, of wood-frame construction, and finished in wooden clapboards. The building has an extensive history of alteration, but the interior, its original main block, retains Federal period architectural details, including leaded front entry sidelight windows, carved wooden paneling, and wooden floorboards (although the latter have been covered by other flooring). The original block was built in 1805–06, supposedly to a design by Charles Bulfinch and John McComb, Jr. Additions have substantially increased the size of the house in 1860, 1904, and 1936. It was built as the quarters for the commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Most notably, it was home to Commodore Matthew C. Perry (1794–1858) between 1841 and 1843. Perry was assigned to the yard from 1833 to 1843 in a variety of roles, during which time he is credited with improving the Navy's steamship navigation, education of enlisted men and commissioned officers, and improving the nation's lighthouse service. Perry's signature achievement was his 1854 expedition to Japan, in which he compelled the previously cloistered nation to open its borders more widely, inaugurating a series of economic and geopolitical changes. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974, while it was still part of the active navy yard. The current owners of the Commandant's House are Charles Gilbert and Jennifer Jones, who purchased it in 1997. References External links Gray, Christopher (June 25, 2006).

Casa del Comandante (Brooklyn)

La Casa del Comandante, también conocida como Quarters A, es una casa histórica en la calle Evans en el vecindario Vinegar Hill de Brooklyn, Nueva York (Estados Unidos). Construida a partir de 1805, con una serie de modificaciones posteriores, sigue siendo un ejemplo destacado de la arquitectura federal en la ciudad de Nueva York. Fue designada Monumento Histórico Nacional en 1974​ por su asociación con Matthew C. Perry, comandante del adyacente Astillero Naval de Brooklyn entre 1841 y 1843, cuya apertura de Japón hacia el oeste en 1854 revolucionó el comercio y los asuntos internacionales.​ Descripción e historia Está ubicada en un acantilado con vista al lado occidental del Astillero Naval de Brooklyn, a unas pocas cuadras al sur del Río Este. Se accede a través de un camino cerrado en el cruce de las calles Little y Evans. Tiene tres pisos y medio de altura, de estructura de madera y acabados en listones de madera.Posee una extensa historia de alteraciones, pero el interior, su bloque principal original, conserva detalles arquitectónicos del período federal, incluidas las ventanas laterales emplomadas de la entrada principal, los paneles de madera tallada y los pisos de madera (aunque estos últimos han sido recubiertos). El bloque original se construyó entre 1805 y 1806, supuestamente según un diseño de Charles Bulfinch y John McComb, Jr. Las adiciones aumentaron sustancialmente el tamaño de la casa en 1860, 1904 y 1936.​ Fue construida como alojamiento para el comandante del Astillero Naval de Brooklyn. En particular, fue el hogar del comodoro Matthew C. Perry entre 1841 y 1843. Perry fue asignado al astillero de 1833 a 1843 en una variedad de roles, tiempo durante el cual se le atribuye la mejora de la navegación de barcos de vapor de la Marina, la educación de los soldados y oficiales comisionados, y la mejora del servicio de faros de la nación. El logro característico de Perry fue su expedición de 1854 a Japón, en la que obligó a la nación anteriormente enclaustrada a abrir sus fronteras más ampliamente, inaugurando una serie de cambios económicos y geopolíticos.​ Fue declarada Monumento Histórico Nacional en 1974, cuando aún formaba parte del astillero activo.​ Los propietarios actuales son Charles Gilbert y Jennifer Jones, que la compraron en 1997.​ Véase también Anexo:Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en Brooklyn Referencias Enlaces externos Gray, Christopher (25 de junio de 2006). «A Federal-Style Gem That Outshines Gracie Mansion».

Quarters A (Brooklyn Navy Yard)

Le Quarters A, également connu sous le nom de maison de Commandant's House, est une maison historique située sur Evans Street dans le quartier Vinegar Hill de Brooklyn, à New York. Construit à partir de 1805, avec un certain nombre de modifications ultérieures, il reste un exemple éminent de l'architecture fédérale à New York. Il est désigné National Historic Landmark en 1974 pour son association avec Matthew Perry, commandant du Brooklyn Navy Yard, chantier naval adjacent, de 1841 à 1843, et dont l'ouverture du Japon à l'Ouest en 1854 a révolutionné le commerce et les affaires internationales. Le bâtiment est aujourd'hui propriété privée. Description et historique L'ancienne Commandant's House est située sur une falaise surplombant le côté ouest du Brooklyn Navy Yard, à quelques pâtés de maisons au sud de l'East River. On y accède par un portail situé à la jonction des rues Little et Evans. La maison, de trois étages et demi, est construite à partir d'une ossature en bois et recouverte de planches à clins en bois. Le bâtiment a subi de nombreuses modifications, mais l'intérieur, son bloc principal d'origine, conserve des détails architecturaux de l'époque fédérale, notamment des fenêtres latérales d'entrée en plomb, des lambris en bois sculpté et des planchers en bois, bien que ces derniers aient été recouverts par d'autres revêtements de sol. L'îlot d'origine a été construit en 1805-1806, apparemment d'après un projet de Charles Bulfinch et John McComb, Jr. Des ajouts ont considérablement augmenté la taille de la maison en 1860, 1904 et 1936. Elle a été construite pour abriter les quartiers du commandant du Brooklyn Navy Yard. Le Commodore Matthew C. Perry (1794-1858) y vécut notamment entre 1841 et 1843. Perry a été affecté au chantier naval de 1833 à 1843, où il a exercé diverses fonctions. On lui doit notamment l'amélioration de la navigation à vapeur de la marine, l'éducation des hommes de troupe et des officiers, ainsi que l'amélioration du service des phares de la nation. L'expédition de 1854 au Japon est l'œuvre la plus marquante de Perry, car elle a contraint ce pays jusque-là cloîtré à ouvrir plus largement ses frontières, inaugurant ainsi une série de changements économiques et géopolitiques. La maison a été déclarée National Historic Landmark en 1974, alors qu'elle faisait encore partie du chantier naval en activité. Les propriétaires actuels de la Commandant's House sont Charles Gilbert et Jennifer Jones, qui l'ont achetée en 1997.

Queechy Lake

Queechy Lake is a lake in Canaan, Columbia County, New York. Situated near the Massachusetts state border, the lake is 40 feet (12 m) deep and contains a surface area of 141 acres (0.57 km2). The name comes from the Native American Mahican name Quis-sich-kook, of unknown meaning. The lake is located near two major roads, New York State Route 295 and New York State Route 22. Among the present fish species are brown bullhead, brown trout, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass, rainbow trout, black crappie and yellow perch. Queechy Lake is a natural body of water; however, sometime prior to 1910, the water levels were raised as a result of the construction of a dam along the Stony Kill, a tributary of Queechy Lake. The purpose of the dam was to store water that would supply mills located downstream. In the early 19th century, a summer of dry weather contributed to decreased water levels, which exposed a muddy surface at the lower end of the lake.

Queen's Castle

Queen's Castle, also known as Camp Fossenvue or simply Fossenvue (an anagram for "seven of us")), is the remnant of a historic camp located at Lodi in Seneca County, New York. It is a rustic, lakeside camp structure built about 1881 on the shore of Seneca Lake. Background It is a one-story, roughly square, 17 feet, 6 inches by 18 feet, structure surmounted by a steeply pitched wood shingled hipped roof. It is the sole surviving component of Camp Fossenvue, established in 1875 as an informal, lakeside summer retreat where liberally minded young women could indulge in a variety of radical, even scandalous, intellectual, physical, and recreational activities. Its last year of operation as a women's camp was in 1901. In 1924, the site was sold to the Elmira Council of Boy Scouts for Camp Seneca, which continued to operate until 1989. The United States Department of Agriculture purchased the property in 1996, adding it to the Finger Lakes National Forest. It was designed by "locally prominent" Arthur Nash, who appears to be North Carolina architect Arthur C. Nash, born in Geneva, New York.) It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. References External links Fossenvue description Embers from Fossenvue backlogs, 1875-1900.

Queen of All Saints Church (Brooklyn)

The Queen of All Saints Church is located at 300 Vanderbilt Avenue on the corner of Lafayette Avenue in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It is a Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. The church is located within the Fort Greene Historic District. History Queen of All Saints Church was built in 1910-13 and was solemnly dedicated on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1913. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style by the firm of Reiley & Steinback. The church's school was built at the same time, but the apse of the church and the rectory were not completed until 1915. The parish dates from 1879 and was originally called St. John's Parish. The school closed in August 2019 because of a 30% decline in the number of students enrolling in the school. It is currently unknown what the school will be used for in the future. Up until the 1940s, the wing fronting Vanderbilt Avenue was graced with a spire above the roof. Organ The organ was built in 1913 by Philipp Wirsching of Salem, Ohio and electrified in 1925. Considered an outstanding example of the Wirsching's artistry, the Organ Historical Society has recognized the instrument with an Historical Citation, giving it the number 66. Parish Life Queen of All Saints offers daily Holy Mass and a rich devotional program, with First Friday and First Saturday Holy Hours, dedication to the Rosary, participation in the Miraculous Medal Novena, the Novena to St. Thérèse and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Faith Formation is no longer offered at the church because the school closed in August 2019.

Localización Queens Botanical Garden, 43-50 Main Street, Flushing, Queens, Queens County, Nueva York 11355 United States of America-Estados Unidos de América.40°45′1.44″N 73°49′43.68″O Se paga una tarifa de entrada. Historia El Queens Botanical Garden comenzó su andadura como parte de la Exposición Universal de 1939 en Nueva York ubicada en Queens. Después de la exposición universal el jardín botánico fue ampliado tomando un buen trozo de terreno del Flushing Meadows Park. Cuando comenzaron los trabajos de construcción de la Exposición Universal de 1964, el jardín fue trasladado desde el "Flushing Meadows Park", a un sitio al otro lado de la calle desde el parque de Flushing Meadows. En el año 2005, estaba entre 406 instituciones artísticas y del servicio social de Nueva York, para recibir la parte de una concesión de $20 millones del Carnegie Corporation, que fue hecho posible gracias a una donación del alcalde de la ciudad de Nueva York Michael Bloomberg. [1] [2] El 27 de septiembre del 2007, el alcalde Bloomberg y otros dignatarios acudieron al corte de la cinta del nuevo centro de visitantes de QBG. El centro, diseñado por los arquitectos de BKSK era el primer edificio en la ciudad de Nueva York en alcanzar el galardón "Platinum" del LEED, lo que le convertía en el edificio más verde de los existentes en Nueva York. Colecciones El "Queens Botanical Garden" ahora consiste en 39 acres de plantas herbáceas, arbustos y árboles que se exhiben en varios jardines y espacios asociados a las colecciones de QBG. Con áreas públicas y privadas (estos lugares entre bastidores mantenidos por el personal y voluntarios pueden ser visitados con frecuencia por los visitantes del jardín). Los jardines temáticos y las plantaciones históricas nos recuerdan los orígenes del QBG de la Exposición Universal actualmente con las especies nativas de exhibición en desarrollo de los nuevos jardines y a las prácticas sostenibles del paisaje, sus colecciones representan el aporte de los expertos hortícolas al conocimiento, el arte, a la educación ambiental y al servicio público que han sido sellos de QBG durante más de 60 años.

Queens Center Mall

Queens Center is an urban shopping mall in Elmhurst, Queens, New York City, on Queens Boulevard between 57th Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard, one block away from Queens Place Mall. Queens Center is the largest mall in Queens. It is currently owned and managed by The Macerich Company, who purchased the mall in the 1990s. The building where JCPenney and Burlington are located is separately owned by Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp, yet it is interconnected with the Macerich-owned main portion of the mall. There are over 150 stores located at the center. The mall's current anchor tenants are Macy's, Primark, and JCPenney. A large food court is located in the lower level where Fast food restaurants such as Charleys Philly Steaks, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle Mexican Grill, KFC, Kido Sushi, Noodle House, Panda Express, Sarku Japan, and Shake Shack operate. The mall has a gross leasable area of 967,000 square feet (89,800 m2). The mall is adjacent to the Woodhaven Boulevard station (M and ​R trains) on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. It is across the street from the former St. John's Queens Hospital and the Rock Church. It is also adjacent to Exit 19 of the Long Island Expressway. History Queens Center opened on September 12, 1973, on land previously occupied by a children's amusement park named Fairyland, a supermarket, and automobile parking. The original anchor tenants were Abraham & Straus and Ohrbach's. The mall underwent a major expansion from 2002 to 2004, nearly doubling in size as the original mall was renovated and another wing was added to the east of 92nd Street. For a limited time during the 2006 Christmas shopping season, the Macy's location in Queens Center was open 24 hours a day, becoming the first to do so. Since then, it has had all-day operating hours during every Christmas shopping season. On March 8, 2019, the mall was evacuated when a supposed appearance by The Bronx rapper, A Boogie wit da Hoodie was canceled after fans, most of whom were high school teens that had a half day of school rioted and looted stores, including the sneaker store, Foot Locker. The mall reopened the next day. The mall underwent renovations during the mid-2020s. This included upgrades to furnishings, lighting, and the parking lots.

Queens County Farm Museum

The Queens County Farm Museum, also known as Queens Farm, is a 47-acre (190,000 m2) farm in the Glen Oaks neighborhood of Queens in New York City. The farm occupies the city's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland (in operation since 1697), and is still a working farm today. Queens Farm practices sustainable agriculture and has a four-season growing program. The museum includes the Adriance Farmhouse (also known as the Cornell Farmhouse), a New York City Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. The site features restored farm buildings, planting fields with 200 types of crops, livestock, and various examples of vintage farm equipment. The museum has free admission on most days, though tickets are sold for special event days throughout the year. The museum hosts guided tours of the farmhouse, weekend hayrides, and an on-site seasonal farmstand. Cornell Farmhouse The Cornell Farmhouse was built in 1750 with Dutch and English architectural features. The Farmhouse is also known as the Creedmoor Farmhouse Complex or the Adriance Farmhouse. It is part of the museum and is owned and operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks). It was listed as a New York City Landmark in 1976, and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. History The farm was privately owned by a Dutch family, the Adriances, from 1697 to 1808. Their three-room farmhouse, built in 1772, has been restored and still stands. After 1808, a series of families owned the farm as it continued to evolve from a colonial homestead to a modern "truck farming" or market gardening business. Under its last private farmer, Daniel Stattel, it became, by 1900, "the second largest [farm] in size in Queens County and the highest in dollar value...assessed at 32,000 dollars." In 1926, the Stattels sold the farm to real estate investor Pauline Reisman, who, in turn, later that year sold it to Creedmoor State Hospital, which used it for occupational therapy, to stock its kitchen, and to grow ornamental plants for the rest of the hospital campus. In 1975, state legislation authored by Frank Padavan transferred ownership of the farm from the hospital to NYC Parks for the purpose of starting a museum.

Queens High School of Teaching

The Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts and the Sciences (QHST) (26Q566) is a public high school in Glen Oaks, New York, United States. It is located on the Frank A. Padavan Campus, a 32-acre (130,000 m2) landscaped campus, which contains QHST and two other neighboring kindergarten-8th grade schools: P.S./I.S. 266 and P.S./I.S. 208. It is one of the only schools in New York City that has a campus. The campus—originally named the Glen Oaks Campus—was renamed in 2008 in honor of a state senator who at the time was running for re-election. The school opened in the fall of 2003. It currently serves grades 9-12. History and origin The school was originally planned as a year-round school with short vacations throughout the year, but this plan was later dismissed, and the school now adheres to a standard academic schedule. The original plan was to enroll 300 freshmen and gradually accept more students each year. Months before its opening, 60 sophomores were admitted as well. At this time Principal Nigel Pugh separated the school into three "small learning communities" (SLCs) to simulate the experience of attending a smaller school. The campus was originally the site of an extension of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, to which the school has no affiliation. During the 2009–2010 school year, the last few buildings were torn down for a sports field. On 2 April 2016, the School officially opened the athletic field. Small Learning Communities The school used to use a Small Learning Communities model. They were named : Emerson, Freire, and Montessori. Each had its own teachers, and students mostly attend classes only within their small learning community. Some classes – e.g. art, music, Spanish culture, Spanish - were "cross-community", meaning that students from different communities attend the same class. Montessori and Emerson were once the two biggest communities, having few seniors and an average number of juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, while Freire only had juniors, sophomores and freshmen. This has since changed. This model was gradually changed to a more traditional model.
