Frederick Douglass Circle

Frederick Douglass Circle is a traffic circle located at the northwest corner of Central Park at the intersection of Eighth Avenue (Frederick Douglass Boulevard and Central Park West) and 110th Street (Cathedral Parkway and Central Park North) in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The traffic circle is named for the American abolitionist, women's suffragist, editor, orator, author, statesman, and reformer Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass Circle connects the New York City neighborhoods of Harlem with the Upper West Side. Harlem, a major African-American residential, cultural, and business center, is to the north and east of the intersection. Cathedral Parkway climbs westward from here into Morningside Heights, which includes Columbia University, the Manhattan School of Music, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Plaza Although a ceremony was held to name the circle after Frederick Douglass on September 17, 1950, the pedestrian plaza in the center of the intersection was not completed until June 2, 2010. In 1993, local residents and the Central Park Conservancy began developing plans to redesign the circle and make it symmetrical with Duke Ellington Circle at the northeast corner of Central Park. Construction on the pedestrian plaza began in 2004 and was to be completed in one year. However, due to numerous construction delays, the plaza was not completed until June 2, 2010. The traffic circle features a complex colored paving pattern that alludes to traditional black quilt designs. Harlem-based artist Algernon Miller designed the paving. Additional features, including wrought-iron symbolic and decorative elements, a water wall, and inscribed historical details and quotations representing the life of Frederick Douglass and the slaves’ passage to freedom. A central bronze sculpture, depicting a standing Frederick Douglass, has been crafted by Hungarian-born artist Gabriel Koren. Transportation The B and ​C trains of the New York City Subway stop at Cathedral Parkway – 110th Street under Frederick Douglass Circle, while the M3, M4, and M10 bus lines stop at the circle. In addition, the M7 and M116 buses and the 2 and ​3 trains at 110th Street–Malcolm X Plaza stop near Frederick Douglass Circle. Until 1940, this was also the site of the "Suicide Curve" of the IRT Ninth Avenue Line. References External links Public Art New York Times, 2009

Frederick Douglass Houses

The Frederick Douglass Houses are a public housing project located in the New York City borough of Manhattan, in the Manhattan Valley neighborhood of Upper West Side, named for abolitionist and civil rights pioneer Frederick Douglass. The actual buildings are located between 100th Street and 104th Street, to the east of Amsterdam Avenue and the west of Manhattan Avenue. The complex is owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority. Development The development was approved by the New York City Planning Commission on February 7, 1952, as a low-rent housing project to be erected on a 22.5-acre (91,000 m2) site, a "superblock" bounded by Manhattan Avenue, Amsterdam Avenue and West 100th and 104th Streets. The original portion of the complex consists of 17 buildings – 5, 9, 12, 17, 18, and 20 stories tall – completed on May 31, 1958, on a 21.76-acre (8.81 ha) site. The development includes 2,056 apartments housing some 4,588 residents. The Frederick Douglass Addition, completed on June 30, 1965, is a 16-story building with 306 residents on .55-acre (0.22 ha) on Amsterdam Avenue between West 102nd and West 103rd Streets. The Frederick Douglass Playground covers 1.945 acres (7,870 m2), on Amsterdam Avenue between 100th and 102nd Streets. Land for the playground was acquired by the city in 1954, and the playground was opened on September 10, 1958. The New York City Board of Estimate transferred the property from the New York City Housing Authority to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation in August 1962, which still is responsible for management of the park. In 2012, the Frederick Douglass Houses farm was launched through a partnership between NYCHA and Project EATS on the former site of the tennis courts. The flagship of Hostelling International USA in the United States is on the Frederick Douglass Houses superblock, in a landmark building designed by noted architect Richard Morris Hunt in the 19th century. This popular hostel occupies the entire east blockfront of Amsterdam Avenue between 103rd and 104th Streets.

Frederick Douglass–Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge

The Frederick Douglass–Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge (informally called the Freddie-Sue Bridge and known as the Troup–Howell Bridge until July 13, 2007) is a triple steel arch bridge carrying Interstate 490 (I-490) over the Genesee River and New York State Route 383 (NY 383, named Exchange Boulevard) in downtown Rochester, New York. The bridge, officially completed on June 18, 2007, replaced a 50-year-old multi-girder bridge situated in the same location. Description The bridge is 364 metres (1,194 ft) in length, with the longest span, the arch-supported roadway crossing the Genesee, encompassing 140.9 metres (462.3 ft). The structure is 39.8 metres (130.6 ft) wide. The roadway on its surface is eight lanes wide, with four reserved for each direction of I-490. The structure carries an estimated 71,640 vehicles daily over NY 383 and the Genesee. The New York State Department of Transportation is responsible for maintenance on the bridge. History The original Troup–Howell Bridge was constructed in 1954, and reconfigured in 1974 to become part of the federal Interstate system. By 1996, the bridge had deteriorated enough that the New York State Department of Transportation determined it was time to replace it. Construction on the new bridge began in May 2004. To prevent the flow of traffic from being halted on I-490, the construction of the arch bridge and the demolition of the girder bridge were done in stages, which allowed a minimum of four lanes of traffic, two in each direction, to be open at all times. On June 18, 2007, the bridge was officially completed and fully open to traffic for the first time. In a ceremony at the bridge on July 13, 2007, the bridge was renamed the "Frederick Douglass–Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge", honoring Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, both of whom had lived in Rochester. In 2024, the bridge was given its first repainting. See also Transport portal Engineering portal New York (state) portal References

Маяк острова Галлоо

Маяк острова Галлоо (англ. Galloo Island Light) — маяк, расположенный на острове Галлоо в озере Онтарио близ границы США и Канады, округ Джефферсон, штат Нью-Йорк, США. Построен в 1820 году. Автоматизирован в 1963 году. Деактивирован в 1997 году. История Маяк расположен недалеко от границы США и Канады, близ истока реки Святого Лаврентия, на небольшом острове Галлоо. Судоходство в этом месте достаточно оживлённое, а скалы около острова представляют опасность для навигации. 3 марта 1819 года Конгресс США выделил 12 500$ на строительство маяка на острове Галлоо. Строительство было завершено 4 октября 1820 года. Маяк представлял собой восьмиугольную башню из камня высотой 20 метров и диаметром 8 метров у основания. Рядом с башней был построен небольшой каменный дом смотрителя. Уже в 1838 году дом смотрителя нуждался в ремонте: во многих местах протекала крыша, хотя сам маяк был в хорошем состоянии. в 1857 году на маяк была установлена линза Френеля и отмечалось, что он находится в плохом состоянии. 7 апреля 1866 года Конгресс выделил 15 000$ на ремонтные работы. Было решено построить новый маяк, и в следующем году строительство было завершено. Новый маяк представлял собой башню из серого известняка высотой 18 метров, соединённую крытым переходом с двухэтажным домом смотрителя, также построенным из серого известняка. В 1897 году было дополнительно построено здание для противотуманного сигнала из красного кирпича. В 1899 году был построен деревянный дом помощника смотрителя. Береговая охрана США автоматизировала маяк в 1963 году. 1997 году маяк был объявлен избыточным, выведен из эксплуатации и продан на аукционе. В 1983 году он был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Примечания
Galway Lake

Galway Lake is located west of Galway (village), New York, in the town of Galway in Saratoga County, New York, United States. The lake was first constructed in 1855 to serve as a reservoir for the nearby City of Amsterdam, and was owned by the Amsterdam Water Works Company. Galway Lake was enlarged by the creation of the Galway Lake Dam on North Chuctanunda Creek in Saratoga County, New York, once used to power various mills and industries along the creek, and is now used solely for recreation purposes. Construction of the current Galway Lake Dam was completed in 1982, after the camper association purchased it from the Amsterdam Water Works Company for $1. At normal levels it has a surface area of 564 acres (228 ha). It is property of Galway Lake Campers Association. At low levels the Lake is at 550 acres (220 ha); also, it currently permits only electric powered or sail boats. The Lake is located at latitude - longitude coordinates (also known as lat-long or GPS coordinates) of N 43.02619 and W -74.08291. Galway Lake is shown in the center of the topographic (topo) map, which is sourced from the United States Geographical Survey map USGS Galway quad.

Gannett Building

The Gannett Building is a residential and commercial building located in Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It is a Classical Revival style structure constructed in 1927, with four major later additions. It was built to house the consolidated headquarters and newspaper printing facilities for the Gannett Newspapers chain. One of the building's most visible features is a relief sculpture over the entrance of its east side. It was created by Italian sculptor Edmond Amateis. The work's central figure is Truth, guarding the eternal flame of enlightenment. The figures on the left are Fine Arts and Industry. On the right are Law and Agriculture. History Built to house the Rochester Times-Union and the headquarters for Gannett in 1927, a five-story 1949 addition was designed by Albert Kahn to house the printing presses. The Democrat and Chronicle moved into the building in 1959. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. and served as the world headquarters for Gannett until 1986. In 1986, Gannett moved its headquarters from the building to Arlington County, Virginia. In 1997, the printing presses were moved to nearby Greece. That same year, the Times-Union ceased publication, leaving just the Democrat & Chronicle to occupy the building. In 2014, it was announced that Gannett was selling the Gannett building and moving the Democrat and Chronicle to a new building at the corner of Main Street and Clinton Avenue on the former Midtown Plaza site. At 153,350 square feet (14,247 m2), the Gannett building is considerably larger than the new headquarters, which is 42,000 square feet (3,900 m2). The paper no longer needed the considerable space in the new digital age, where newsprint in the United States is on the decline, and the building, which includes the space that formerly held the presses, is expensive to maintain. As of April 2014, the Gannett building was on the market for sale at an asking price of $3.5 million. The Democrat and Chronicle moved to its new location on May 2, 2016. After the departure of the newspaper, the building was renovated to house 94 one and two-bedroom lofts, along with commercial space under the name The Edmond.
