Union Church of Pocantico Hills

Union Church of Pocantico Hills is a historic, nondenominational church in Pocantico Hills, New York. It is a notable example of an NRHP-listed church building, whose modern artistic contributions are central to its historic status. Construction of the church was funded primarily by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1921, as part of his plans to develop the community of Pocantico Hills, which was below the Rockefeller family estate, Kykuit. His father, John D. Rockefeller Sr., donated the land. Prominent advertising entrepreneur Barron Collier, owner of a neighboring estate, also contributed to the building of the church. Upon the death of Rockefeller's wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller in 1948, their son Nelson Rockefeller commissioned Henri Matisse to design the church's rose window in honor of her memory shortly before the artist's own death in 1954. When John D. Rockefeller Jr. died in 1960, his children commissioned artist Marc Chagall to design a Good Samaritan window in his honor. It is a one-story neo-Gothic style building with fieldstone foundation and walls and a slate covered, highly pitched gable roof. In 1930–1931, a parish hall was added to the east end of the church. On May 6, 2006, the church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The church offers weekly, nondenominational Sunday services in the Christian tradition, open to the public, at 10:00 am ET. For more information about the services, choir, and Sunday school, see the official Website, Union Church of Pocantico Hills. Organ David Rockefeller, members of the Rockefeller family, and members of the church commissioned organbuilder Sebastian M. Glück to design and build the Laurance Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Pipe Organ in 2006. It is based upon the organs of fin-de-siècle Paris, notably influenced by the work of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, and it complements the family's taste in the art of that era. It is used for public recitals as well as for church services.

Union Church of Pocantico Hills

Union Church of Pocantico Hills är en historisk kyrka i Pocantico Hills, New York. Kyrkan byggdes av John D. Rockefeller Jr. 1921, som en del av hans planer på att utveckla staden Pocantico Hills, som låg under hans gård Kykuit. När Rockefellers hustru Abby Aldrich Rockefeller hade avlidit 1948 lät deras son Nelson Rockefeller konstnären Henri Matisse utforma kyrkans rosettfönster för att hedra hennes minne, strax före konstnärens egen död 1954. När John D. Rockefeller Jr. dog 1960 lät hans barn konstnären Marc Chagall utforma ett barmhärtige samariten-fönster till hans ära. Kyrkan är en byggnad i en våning i neogotisk stil med fundament och väggar av ohuggen sten och ett skifferklätt, högt gaveltak. 1930–1931 lades en församlingssal till kyrkans östra ände. Den 6 maj 2006 listades kyrkan i National Register of Historic Places. Orgel David Rockefeller, medlemmar i familjen Rockefeller, och medlemmar i kyrkan fick orgelbyggaren Sebastian M. Glück i uppdrag att utforma och bygga Laurance Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Pipe Organ 2006. Den är inspirerad av orglarna i fin-de-siècle-stil i Paris, och är särskilt påverkad av Aristide Cavaillé-Colls arbete, och det kompletterar familjens smak i konsten från den tiden. Orgeln används för offentliga tillställningar och för gudstjänster. Referenser Den här artikeln är helt eller delvis baserad på material från engelskspråkiga Wikipedia, 1 januari 2021.

Union Station (Lockport, New York)

Union Station is the ruin of an historic former train station located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York. It was constructed in 1889, for the New York Central Railroad (NYC) in the Romanesque style. The station served the NYC Falls Road line, an east–west corridor connecting Niagara Falls and Rochester, New York. While technically not a "union station" - as no other railroad shared its facilities - it took its local name from its address on Union Street in Lockport. There are conflicting sources regarding the architect of the station. According to the building's National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) registration, W. E. Houston and Bendinger & Young are the artictects. Another mentions John D. Fouquet who had designed several building for the NYC's Depew, New York yard. There is also local belief that it is a Stanford White design but the Lockport station is not listed among his known commissions. At its peak in the early twentieth century the station serviced 10-35 trains per day. The station was closed when passenger service on the line ended in 1957. The building was unused until 1967. It was renovated and reopened as a restaurant in 1971. The restaurant was gutted by fire in December 1974, rebuilt and again destroyed by fire in 1978. It was listed on the NRHP in 1977. A private owner acquired the building in 2006 and spent approximately $250,000 on stabilization measures. The owner applied for grants to restore the building for mixed community use and as a heritage train station. In July 2025 ownership passed to a Buffalo-based investment group which intends to rebuild the station as office space. The track alongside the station remains in active freight service and is owned by the Falls Road Railroad. The short-lived Niagara & Western New York ran a heritage operation between Lockport and Medina in 2002. As of 2023 the Medina Railroad Museum operated occasional heritage service to Lockport. In 1994, during Conrail ownership, twelve miles (19 km) of track connecting Brockport to Rochester, New York was abandoned. Consequently, the Falls Road route now terminates in Brockport, east of Owens Road at Mile Post 16.60.

United Church of Madrid

United Church Of Madrid, formerly the First Congregational Church of Madrid, is a historic church in Madrid, St. Lawrence County, New York. The building dates from 1807. First Congregational Church and the Madrid Methodist Church decided to merge in 1974. The combined congregation is affiliated with both the United Church of Christ and the United Methodist Church. It worships in the former Congregational Church building. The Methodist congregation in Madrid formed in 1837 from the Canton Methodist circuit. It was originally based in Buck's Bridge, but relocated to Madrid by 1847 because many of the congregants lived in Madrid. The First Congregational Church and Parsonage were listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The church's Sunday School wing features a 17-foot (5.2 m) tall stained glass window that was created in 1918 by Harry J. Horwood, a stained-glass artist based in Ogdensburg, New York, and originally was installed in the Madrid Methodist Church. When the churches merged, the window was moved to the Congregational Church and installed in the newly built Sunday School wing. A restoration of the window was completed in 2012.

Sekretariatsgebäude der Vereinten Nationen

Das Sekretariatsgebäude der Vereinten Nationen ist ein Wolkenkratzer in Manhattan in New York City. Er ist Teil des UNO-Hauptquartiers, das aus vier Gebäuden besteht. Beschreibung Das Sekretariatsgebäude befindet sich in Midtown Manhattan im Stadtteil Turtle Bay direkt am East River. Es ist wie der ganze UN-Komplex von dem FDR Drive (Tunnel) im Osten, der East 42nd Street im Süden, der First Avenue (United Nations Plaza) im Westen und East 48th Street im Norden umgeben. Der 18 Hektar große Komplex gilt als internationales Territorium. Nördlich ist das Sekretariatsgebäude direkt mit dem Konferenzgebäude des Sicherheitsrates der Vereinten Nationen verbunden. Südwestliches Nachbargebäude ist die Dag-Hammarskjöld-Bibliothek. Vor dem Sekretariat steht die 1962/63 geschaffene Bronzeskulptur „Single Form“ der englischen Bildhauerin Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975). Das Bürogebäude wurde im Internationalen Stil von einem Team aus elf Architekten unter Leitung von Wallace Harrison entworfen. Darunter befanden sich Oscar Niemeyer und Le Corbusier, deren Vorschläge schließlich als Kombination zum Tragen kamen. Der 39 Stockwerke zählende, 154,3 Meter (506 Fuß) hohe Wolkenkratzer wurde im Jahr 1951 nach einer Bauzeit von drei Jahren fertiggestellt. Die Eröffnung fand bereits am 21. August 1950 statt. Das schmale rechteckige Gebäude besitzt an den Längsseiten eine grün getönte gläserne Vorhangfassade, die beiden schmalen Seiten sind mit Marmorplatten aus Vermont verkleidet. Das im Laufe der Zeit stark heruntergekommene und veraltete Sekretariatsgebäude wurde ab 2010 umfassend renoviert und schrittweise von Juli bis Dezember 2012 wiedereröffnet. Unter anderem wurden die marode Glasfassade und die veraltete Inneneinrichtung ersetzt. Das Gebäude beherbergt zurzeit Büros von 193 Mitgliedstaaten der Vereinten Nationen, bei seiner Eröffnung waren es 50 Staaten.

Palazzo di vetro del Segretariato delle Nazioni Unite

Il Palazzo di vetro del Segretariato delle Nazioni Unite è un grattacielo alto 154 m (505 ft) e il fulcro del quartier generale delle Nazioni Unite, situato a Turtle Bay nella zona Midtown Manhattan di Manhattan, a New York City. Il lotto in cui sorge l'edificio è considerato territorio delle Nazioni Unite, sebbene rimanga parte degli Stati Uniti. È il primo grattacielo di New York ad utilizzare una facciata continua. Storia La cerimonia di inaugurazione del Palazzo del Segretariato ebbe luogo il 14 settembre 1948. Un consorzio di quattro società appaltatrici di Manhattan e del Queens fu selezionato per costruire il Palazzo per gli uffici, come parte di un contratto da 30 milioni di dollari. Il Palazzo per uffici ha 39 piani e fu completato nel 1952. L'edificio fu progettato dall'architetto brasiliano Oscar Niemeyer e dall'architetto svizzero-francese Le Corbusier. Questo edificio è collegato al Palazzo delle Conferenze a nord che ospita l'Assemblea generale, il Consiglio di sicurezza, tra gli altri e una biblioteca a sud. L'edificio ospita le funzioni amministrative dell'ONU, comprese le mansioni quotidiane come la finanza e le traduzioni. Come parte del complesso delle Nazioni Unite, l'edificio è soggetto ad un accordo tra le Nazioni Unite e il suo Paese ospitante, gli Stati Uniti. Il Palazzo degli Uffici delle Nazioni Unite è stato rinnovato, a partire da maggio 2010 e riaperto per la rioccupazione a fasi con i primi occupanti che si trasferirono a luglio 2012. Il 29 ottobre 2012 il seminterrato del complesso delle Nazioni Unite fu inondato a causa dell'uragano Sandy, provocando una chiusura di tre giorni e il trasferimento di diversi uffici. Influenza Lo stile dell'edificio ha ispirato alcune importanti copie, tra cui la sede del consiglio del South Lanarkshire ad Hamilton, in Scozia, conosciuta localmente come "County Buildings".

United Office Building

United Office Building, now known as The Giacomo, is a historic Mayan Revival skyscraper in Niagara Falls, New York, US. Description The United Office Building was designed by architect James A. Johnson of Esenwein & Johnson, one of the most successful architectural firms in Buffalo at the time. It was built by Frank A. Dudley, president of the United Hotels Company of America (later United Hotels of America), and completed in 1929 on the eve of the Great Depression. The building is one of the most important landmarks in downtown Niagara Falls. It is constructed of steel and brick with a terra-cotta facade. The building's Mayan Revival art deco elements of sculpture and pressed terra-cotta brick draw inspiration from the iconography of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures. The upper five stories of the building include two floors of approximately 3,000 square feet and three top floors of approximately 1,000 square feet each, which were constructed to house mechanical and elevator equipment. History The United Office Building, at 20 stories, was the tallest building in Niagara Falls until 2005, when it was surpassed in height by the nearby Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel. The top floors have views of the American and Horseshoe Falls of Niagara Falls. Renovation The building was abandoned in the 1980s and was vacant for over 25 years. In 2004, the USA Niagara Development Corporation, a subsidiary to the State's Economic Development Agency, purchased the building for one dollar. Carl Paladino's Ellicott Development Co. undertook extensive renovations of the building, totaling $10 million (equivalent to $14,954,000 in 2025). In 2010, after the renovation, the building was renamed The Giacomo Hotel and Residences, and now houses 17 apartments, office space, and a 49-room hotel, the Giacomo. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Gallery See also James A. Johnson Esenwein & Johnson Frank A.

Corte de Comercio Internacional de los Estados Unidos

La Corte de Comercio Internacional de los Estados Unidos (en inglés: United States Court of International Trade, citas del caso: Ct. Int'l Trade; también abreviada como CIT)​es una corte federal de Estados Unidos que adjudica acciones civiles derivadas de las leyes de aduanas y comercio internacional de los Estados Unidos.​Con sede en el Bajo Manhattan, ciudad de Nueva York, la corte ejerce una amplia jurisdicción sobre la mayoría de los asuntos relacionados con el comercio y tiene permitido escuchar y adjudicar casos que se originen en cualquier parte de Estados Unidos, así como a nivel internacional.​ La corte se originó con la Ley Administrativa de Aduanas de 1890, que estableció la Junta de Evaluadores Generales como una entidad cuasi-judicial del Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos para conocer disputas principalmente relacionadas con aranceles y derechos de importación.​En 1926, el Congreso reemplazó la Junta con la Corte de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos, una corte administrativa con mayores funciones judiciales, que en 1930 se independizó del Departamento del Tesoro. En 1956, la Corte de Aduanas de los Estados Unidos fue reconstituida por el Congreso como una corte del Artículo III, otorgándole el estatus y los privilegios de una corte federal. La Ley de Cortes de Aduanas de 1980 estableció la Corte de Comercio Internacional de los Estados Unidos en su forma actual, concediéndole jurisdicción sobre todos los asuntos comerciales y otorgando a sus jueces un mandato vitalicio.​ La jurisdicción sobre la materia de la corte se limita a cuestiones específicas en materia de comercio internacional y derecho aduanero, aunque también puede conocer cualquier acción civil contra el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, sus funcionarios o sus agencias que surja de cualquier ley relacionada con el comercio internacional. Como corte del Artículo III, la Corte de Comercio Internacional de los Estados Unidos puede decidir controversias tanto en derecho como en equidad, y por lo tanto se le permite otorgar remedios por prácticamente todos los medios disponibles, incluidos fallos monetarios, mandamus y medidas cautelares o definitivas. Dirigida por un juez principal, la CIT está compuesta por nueve jueces designados por el presidente de los Estados Unidos y confirmados por el Senado de los Estados Unidos. Ningún más de cinco jueces puede pertenecer al mismo partido político.​Los casos suelen ser conocidos por un solo juez, aunque los juicios que involucren posibles cuestiones constitucionales o amplias implicaciones legales para las leyes aduaneras pueden ser decididos por un panel de tres jueces.​La corte opera siguiendo procedimientos y protocolos tomados en gran medida de las Reglas Federales de Procedimiento Civil.

United States lightship Ambrose (LV-87)

The United States Lightship LV-87/WAL-512 (Ambrose) is a riveted steel lightship built in 1907 and served at the Ambrose Channel lightship station from December 1, 1908, until 1932, and in other posts until her decommissioning in 1966. It is one of a small number of preserved American lightships, and now serves as a museum ship at the South Street Seaport Museum in Lower Manhattan, New York City. History In 1921, the first radio beacon in the United States was installed in the ship's radio shack. This addition greatly assisted ships navigating the congested Ambrose Channel in dense fog. LV-87 would also be the last steam-powered vessel to hold the Ambrose Channel post. After the end of her Ambrose Channel assignment in 1932, LV-87 underwent a major refit, most significantly switching from steam propulsion to a direct drive Winton Diesel engine, as well as the removal of her anchor burton on her bow and a reorganization of her deck structures. Afterward, the ship was assigned to various posts which included being used as an examination vessel during World War II. Although her final post was at the Scotland Station she is commonly known by the name of her most famous station, Ambrose. LV-87 was decommissioned on March 4, 1966, from the Coast Guard after 59 years of service. In 1968 she was given to the South Street Seaport Museum in Lower Manhattan. Currently she is moored at Pier 16 on the East River and is used as a floating exhibit. In April 1989, the lightship was declared a National Historic Landmark.
