Wightman Memorial Baptist Church

Wightman Memorial Baptist Church in Oyster Bay, New York, was first built in 1908. It is the third building on this site. The first Baptist congregation met in Oyster Bay as early as 1700, and Oyster Bay received its first ordained minister in 1724. The second church building, constructed in 1806 is still visible on the site, behind the newer structure. History This graceful structure with its unique carriage porch and conical bay windows is of special significance to the Oyster Bay Historical Society. The Society's home is a house museum on Summit Street called the Earle-Wightman House. It is named after two of its most famous residents Reverend Marmaduke Earle who came to Oyster Bay in 1801, and Reverend Charles Wightman who began his ministry here in 1868. Both men were pastors of this church when it had a Baptist congregation, and both served for over 55 years. Mr. Earle, who lived from 1769 to 1856, was also the principal of the Oyster Bay Academy at its founding in 1801. The Baptist congregation first began meeting in Oyster Bay as early as 1700; it is the oldest Baptist congregation in the State of New York. One of the earliest pastors Robert Feeks, had the distinction of becoming the first ordained minister in Oyster Bay in 1724. The original building on this site no longer exists; it was a plain unpainted wood-frame structure with flat planked pews and a small pulpit. During the American Revolutionary War it was reportedly used to quarter occupying British troops, as were many other churches in the village. The congregation grew steadily and in 1806 a larger church was built on this site. You can still see that second church; in 1882 it was moved back and rotated 90 degrees to make room for the new church. In 1908, after many years of fundraising the church you see today was completed. The second church was then used as a Pentecostal church school, with some students living on campus in the building facing Orchard Street. Since the early 1980s the North Shore Assembly of God has made this their home, and have preserved the interior with all its original details including richly carved pews and woodwork, ornate pressed tin ceilings and walls, a built-in pipe organ, and many lovely original stained glass windows.

19 East 64th Street

The Wildenstein & Company Building is an edifice that stands at 19 East 64th Street, near Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It is five stories tall and was completed in early 1932. The building was designed in French 18th-century style by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, architect Horace Trumbauer. Its facade is made of limestone. The Wildenstein art firm was located in the former Vanderbilt house at 647 Fifth Avenue, between 51st and 52nd Streets, for several years prior to the structure's completion. The Charles F. Noyes Company arranged a five-year extension of a $545,000 mortgage at 5% in June 1932. In October 1993, Wildenstein & Company purchased 49% of the Pace Gallery; the Wildenstein gallery remained at the Wildenstein Building, and Pace's SoHo branch at 142 Greene Street also became part of the combined business. In April 2010, the combined gallery announced it was splitting, and Pace bought out Wildenstein's 49%. In 1997 the house had up to 11 members of the Wildenstein family living in it at any one time, leading art dealer Harry Brooks to humorously call the house the "most expensive tenement in Manhattan". The government of Qatar planned to buy the house for $90 million in 2014 and operate it as a consulate. The Russian businessman Len Blavatnik, who had planned to buy the house, sued David Wildenstein, believing that the Wildenstein family had reneged on a promise to sell Blavatnik the property for $79 million. A judge rejected the suit in March 2017, stating that the verbal agreement was not legally binding. In April 2017 it became the most expensive townhouse ever sold in Manhattan when it was sold for $79.5 million. The building was sold again in February 2018 to Blavatnik for $90 million. The Skarstedt Gallery announced plans in January 2019 to move into the house. Since 2023, it has housed Lévy Gorvy Dayan's flagship gallery. References

Will Marion Cook House

The Will Marion Cook House is a historic townhouse at 221 West 138th Street, in the part of Harlem known as Strivers' Row in Manhattan, New York City. It was the home of Will Marion Cook (1869-1944), a leading African-American musician and composer of the period, from 1918 until his death in 1944. Cook was a major influence on later musicians including Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington, and Josephine Baker. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Description and history The Will Marion Cook House is located on the north side of West 138th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. This area, known as Strivers' Row, was home to a number of well-known people during the height of Harlem's cultural successes of the early 20th century. It is an end unit of a row of sixteen three-story Renaissance Revival brick rowhouses, built by developer David H. King in 1891. The ground floor is two bays wide, with the main entrance in the left bay, set in a rounded-arch opening. The second floor features a single three-part window, with narrow sidelights flanking a larger central sash, separated by Ionic columns; a half-round terra cotta panel above the center window gives the grouping the feel of a Palladian window. The third floor has a central sash window, separated from side narrow windows by brickwork. First and third-floor window bays, while all feature splayed lintels of terra cotta. This house is where Will Marion Cook lived from 1918 to 1944. Called the "master of all masters of our people" by Duke Ellington, he was a leading black composer and musician, trained classically in the violin by Antonin Dvorak and others. Denied work in racist classical music circles, he made his influence felt as a composer and arranger in the theater, employing African-American musical styles and themes in his work. He was an early innovator in the use of musical improvisation, helping give rise to jazz and the Big Band Era. Cook was a mentor and influence on Eubie Blake and Duke Ellington, and helped further the career of his wife, soprano Abbie Mitchell.

Will Rogers Memorial Hospital

Will Rogers Memorial Hospital is a historic tuberculosis sanatorium located at Saranac Lake in Essex County, New York. It was built in 1928 as the National Vaudeville lodge by the National Vaudeville Artists Association, who previously sent patients to the Kennedy Cottage. It is a three-story, T-shaped, steel frame and reinforced concrete structure above a raised basement. It is faced in stucco and decorative half-timber framing in the Tudor Revival style. It features asymmetrical massing, a three-story polygonal tower with a hexagonal roof, and three story pavilions with recessed sleeping porches. It was named in honor of entertainer Will Rogers (1879-1935) in 1936 and provided unconventional tubercular treatment to entertainment industry patients from 1936 to 1975. New York State demanded upgrades in the building, which would have cost over a million dollars. The Will Rogers Institute decided it was cheaper to buy a building downstate, out of the Adirondack Park, than to update the existing building. Over 100 jobs were lost because of New York State's demand. It also was open as a night club but when casinos were voted down in New York, it was closed. Then it was open as an apartment house. It stood abandoned for years slowly deteriorating. It was briefly used as press headquarters for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Finally it was bought and after a huge renovation was done both to the outside and inside, it currently houses an independent living facility known as Saranac Village at Will Rogers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Willard D. Straight House

The Willard D. Straight House is a mansion at 1130 Fifth Avenue, at 94th Street, in the Carnegie Hill section of the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York. The mansion was designed by Delano & Aldrich in the neo-Georgian style and was completed in 1915 as the New York City residence of Willard Dickerman Straight. The mansion is a New York City designated landmark. History The house was designed by the firm of Delano & Aldrich in the neo-Georgian style and was completed in 1915. The ground floor of the house is organized around a circular hallway in the 18th-century style topped by a dome, with a patterned black and white marble floor. The Straight family also owned a complementary building at 162 East 92nd Street, also designed by Delano & Aldrich, that was used as a garage. The second and third floors of this building contained apartments for staff. Straight died during the influenza epidemic of 1918 and his widow Dorothy Whitney Straight continued to live in the house for several years with her children. She remarried and moved to England but continued to own the house until 1927. The house was sold to Judge Elbert H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corporation (who had recently sold his home at 956 Fifth Avenue which was demolished to make way for a new apartment building), who died in the house the same year. The next owner was Harrison Williams, a utilities investor, and his wife Mona. In 1952, the house was sold to the Audubon Society for use as their headquarters, which they called the Audubon House. The Society left in 1971, In 1974, the building was sold to the International Center of Photography for use as a new museum devoted exclusively to photography with photo‐journalist Cornell Capa as executive director. The mansion is a New York City designated landmark. In 2000, ICP sold the building for $17.5 million to hedge fund founder Bruce Kovner for use as a personal residence. The noise and debris associated with Kovner's years-long conversion of the building back to a residence reportedly caused his neighbors dismay.

La planta baja de la casa se organiza alrededor de un pasillo circular en el estilo del siglo XVIII coronado por una cúpula, con un piso de mármol en blanco y negro.​ La familia Straight también era propietaria de un edificio complementario en 162 East 92nd Street, también diseñado por Delano & Aldrich, que se utilizó como garaje. El segundo y tercer piso de este edificio contenían departamentos para el personal.​ Straight murió durante la epidemia de gripe de 1918 y su viuda Dorothy Whitney Straight continuó viviendo en la casa durante varios años con sus hijos. Se volvió a casar y se mudó a Inglaterra, pero continuó siendo propietaria de la casa hasta 1927.​ La casa fue vendida al juez Elbert H. Gary, presidente de la junta directiva de la United States Steel Corporation (quien recientemente vendió su casa en 956 Fifth Avenue que fue demolida para dar paso a un nuevo edificio de apartamentos),​ que murió en la casa el mismo año.​ El siguiente propietario fue Harrison Williams, un inversor en servicios públicos, y su esposa Mona.​ En 1952, la casa fue vendida a la Sociedad Audubon para su uso como sede, a la que llamaron Casa Audubon.​ La Sociedad se fue en 1971 y, en 1974, el edificio se vendió al Centro Internacional de Fotografía para su uso como un nuevo museo dedicado exclusivamente a la fotografía con el fotoperiodista Cornell Capa como director ejecutivo.​ En 2000, mientras ICP se estaba consolidando en su ubicación en Midtown Manhattan, vendieron el edificio por 17,5 millones de dólares al fundador de los fondos de cobertura, Bruce Kovner, para su uso como residencia personal.​​ El ruido y los escombros asociados con los años de conversión de Kovner del edificio de estilo federal a una "opulenta residencia privada" supuestamente causaron consternación a sus vecinos y fueron el tema de un artículo publicado en The New York Times en 2003.​ Véase también Anexo:Mansiones de la Gilded Age Referencias Bibliografía adicional Kathrens, Michael C.

Willard Drug Treatment Center

Willard Drug Treatment Campus was a specialized state prison in Seneca County, New York, United States. The prison focused on treatment of drug-addicted convicts. Willard Drug Treatment Campus was located in Willard, a community in the Town of Romulus and is adjacent to Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes Region. Willard was a 900-bed intensive "boot-camp" style drug treatment campus for men and women. This voluntary 97-day treatment program provided a sentencing option for individuals convicted of a drug offense and parole violators who otherwise would have been returned to a state prison, and in most cases, for a year or more. The facility was operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision in conjunction with the Division of Parole and was licensed by the state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS). History The drug treatment campus was opened in 1995 on the site of the former Willard Psychiatric State Hospital, a facility for mental patients. The facility closed in March of 2022 as part of budget costs and sensible population relocation efforts. The Paranormal Research Society, headquartered at Pennsylvania State University, investigated the drug treatment campus and featured it on a season one episode of Paranormal State titled "The Asylum."

William C. Whitney Wilderness Area

The William C. Whitney Wilderness Area, an Adirondack Park unit of New York's Forest Preserve, is located in the town of Long Lake, Hamilton County. It is bounded on the east by Hamilton County Route 10, on the south by lands of Whitney Industries, on the west by private lands owned by The Nature Conservancy and the Brandreth Park Association, on the northwest by the Remsen to Lake Placid Railroad right-of-way, and on the north by other private land holdings. The area contains 12 bodies of water covering 4,286 acres (17.34 km2) and 20 miles (32 km) of foot trails. The area is named for William C. Whitney, who was an American political leader and financier. Geography The terrain consists of lakes, ponds, wetlands, and low forested hills with a few modest mountains ranging as high as 2,297-foot (700 m) Antediluvian Mountain. The centerpieces of this area are 2,300 acres (9.3 km2) Little Tupper Lake and 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) Lake Lila, respectively the seventeenth and twenty-second largest water bodies in the Adirondack Park. This area also includes twelve smaller water bodies, a short section of the Beaver River, pond and lake outlets and numerous other small streams and flows. There are extensive wetland complexes within the area, particularly along the western end of Little Tupper Lake and the southeastern portions of Lake Lila. The vast expanses of the area are important to many species of mammals and the area abounds with bird life. Recreation The area is a popular destination for canoeing. It also contains an extensive network of old logging roads which provide prime cross-country skiing trails. History In 1897, William Collins Whitney purchased 68,000 acres (280 km2) of land to create the privately owned Whitney Park, including the lands which now comprise this wilderness. After Whitney's death in 1904, his family retained ownership of the tract. In 1997, the family sold a portion of the property to New York State. The area was subsequently combined with adjacent state lands to form the present wilderness area. See also List of Wilderness Areas in the Adirondack Park References Adirondack Park Agency.
