Saitta House

The Saitta House is a two-and-a-half-story, single-family Queen Anne style dwelling in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn, New York, United States. It was completed ca. 1899 by architect John J. Petit and builder P.J. la Note for Beatrice and Simone Saitta (pronounced: sigh-eat-a). The home is located on the north side of 84th Street between Twelfth Avenue to the east and Eleventh Avenue to the west. The home reportedly cost $14,000 to build and the 8,000 sq ft (700 m2) of land cost $2,700. The Saitta House is significant in the area of architecture as a remarkably intact, high-style example of Queen Anne residential architecture, and for its association with the planning and development of Dyker Heights, a turn-of-the-20th-century suburban development in Brooklyn. No other house in Dyker Heights retains so much of its original architectural and structural components – both interior and exterior – as the Saitta House. The house was architect-designed for an affluent Dyker Heights family, and built ca. 1899 by craftsmen who came from Italy and lived on the premises during construction. Architect John J. Petit's work can be found elsewhere in Brooklyn, especially in the Prospect Park South Historic District (which is listed on National Register of Historic Places). The Saitta House was listed on both the State and National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Gallery References

Spier Falls Dam

The Spier Falls Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Hudson River between the towns of Moreau and Lake Luzerne, New York. Construction The dam was built by the Hudson River Water Power Company. The chief engineer was Charles E. Parsons of Glens Falls. Construction started in 1900 and completed in 1903 at a total cost of $US3,000,000 (equivalent to $86,000,000 in 2020). At the time it was the fourth largest dam and the largest power dam in the world. The dam is constructed of concrete and granite quarried nearby– a rubble core with trimmed blocks on the surface. Up to 280,000 cubic yards (210,000 m3) of rock and dirt were moved during construction. As many as 1500 men were employed in construction at one time Power generation When built the dam generated 37 MW, of three-phase 40 Hz power, and provided electricity to Saratoga, Schenectady, Glens Falls, Troy, and Albany. As of 2013 the Spier Falls Dam is owned by Brookfield Power and generates 56 MW. Statistics The reservoir is 5 miles (8.0 km) long, .5 miles (800 m) wide and has a maximum depth of 135 feet (41 m). While the reservoir was filling the flow of the Hudson River was halted for twenty-four hours. The river ran dry past Fort Edward and pedestrians were able to walk across. The dam was named for William E. Spier, the head of the Glens Falls Paper Company. Fire On Sept 14 2024, the mechanical building housing the turbines and generators suffered a major fire. References

Temple B'Nai Israel (Olean, New York)

Temple B'Nai Israel, now operating as the Olean Community Theatre, is a deconsecrated synagogue and stage venue located in Olean, Cattaraugus County, New York, in the United States. The synagogue was erected in 1929, closed in 2019 and was deconsecrated in December 2020; the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 and has been used as a community theater since the deconsecration. The B'Nai Israel Congregation that occupied the synagogue, a Conservative/Reform Jewish congregation established in 1894 as the Olean Hebrew Association, continues to operate using rented space elsewhere in Olean. History The congregation was established by Harris W. Marcus, a native of Mobile, Alabama who had moved from Brooklyn and settled in Olean in 1881, establishing the first Jewish community in the region. Its attendance peaked during the World War II era as Jewish communities joined in solidarity against the ongoing Holocaust. A Sefer Torah was donated in 1941 by Oscar Rosenbloom, a local merchant. The membership was down to 23 families as of 2017. B'Nai Israel continued to hold its twice-monthly regular services at the time, but it was said to be in danger of closing within a decade due to the ongoing exodus of young people from the Olean region. Since deconsecrating its synagogue in 2020, it has rented space in the former Saint John's School on North Union Street for services. Heritage building B'Nai Israel's synagogue building from 1929 to 2019 was a three- to four-story tall, light brown brick structure with terra cotta decorative details. (Before the Temple was constructed, the Olean Jewish community had rented facilities to serve as a house of worship.) Built in 1929, it measures 85 feet long, 42 feet wide, and 50 feet tall. The front facade features a massive arched terra cotta portal encircling a large, round stained glass window. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. In July 2019, the synagogue announced that it would be closing after Yom Kippur services that fall as it sought to rent a smaller facility. A zoning variance was unanimously approved in August to allow the deconsecration. A Torah originally donated to the congregation was reunited with a family member of the original donor in 2019, Oscar Rosenbloom Jr., who then donated it to Camp Towonga, a Jewish youth summer camp outside Yosemite National Park in Northern California. The temple was formally deconsecrated in December 2020; attendance had fallen even further by then, with only 16 families attending the high holiday services, which are the most-attended services on the calendar. The building was sold to a local community theater organization, where it now serves as the home theater for Olean Community Theater.

Vietnam Veterans Plaza

Der Vietnam Veterans Plaza (früher Jeannette Park) ist ein Platz und Park im Finanzdistrikt von Manhattan, New York City. Er ist ein Gedenkort, der die Bürger der Stadt ehrt, die im 20. Jahrhundert im Vietnamkrieg gedient haben. Lage Vietnam Veterans Plaza ist ein trapezförmiger Platz zwischen der Water Street und South Street, gelegen am East River an der Südspitze der Insel Manhattan. Der Platz war zuvor ein Teil der Straße Coenties Slip. Begrenzt wird die Plaza von den Wolkenkratzern 125 Broad Street im Südwesten und 55 Water Street im Nordosten. Zwischen der Plaza und dem East River verläuft der Parkway FDR Drive. Geschichte Der heute Platz war Teil eines Geländes, das ab dem 17. Jahrhundert holländische Seeleute als Schiffslandeplatz nutzten. Das Gelände wurde 1835 aufgefüllt und 1884 zum „Jeannette Park“ umgestaltet. Der Park war dem Erkundungsschiff USS Jeannette und der „Jeannette-Expedition“ gewidmet, die von 1879 bis 1881 eine Forschungsreise in die Arktis unternahm. Das Schiff war mit seiner 33-köpfigen Besatzung zwei Jahre im Packeis gefangen und sank schließlich vom Eis zerquetscht. Nur 13 Seeleute konnten gerettet werden. Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts hatte der Stadtplaner Robert Moses den Park mit einer Reihe Sportplätzen versehen, die alle um einen tränenförmigen Asphaltplatz mit einem Fahnenmast herum angeordnet waren. Im Zuge des Baus des benachbarten Wolkenkratzers 55 Water Street im Jahr 1971 wurde das Grundstück neugestaltet und mit Amphitheater und Brunnen ergänzt. Der Platz war ähnlich wie die benachbarte Parkanlage Elevated Acre vor deren Umgestaltung mit roten Ziegeln gepflastert. 1983 plante die „New York City Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission“, den Jeannette Park zu einer Gedenkstätte für Veteranen des Vietnamkriegs umzubauen. Den Entwurfswettbewerb gewannen die Architekten Peter Wormser und William Fellows sowie der Schriftsteller Joseph Ferrandino. Am 20. Juli 1983 wurde der Park offiziell in „Vietnam Veterans Plaza“ umbenannt und nach seiner Fertigstellung am 6. Mai 1985 vom damaligen Bürgermeister Edward I. Koch eingeweiht. Die Vietnam Veterans Plaza ehrt die 1741 Bürger der Stadt, die während des Vietnamkrieges starben sowie die 250.000 Männer und Frauen, die zwischen 1964 und 1975 dienten. Der Gedenkort erhält unter anderem eine Gedenkmauer aus grünen Glasblöcken, auf der Worte und Gefühle von Gefallenen verewigt sind, die in Auszügen aus ihren Briefen stammen. Am 9. November 2001 wurde die Plaza nach einer Restaurierung im Wert von sieben Millionen US-Dollar wiedereröffnet. Ein neuer zeremonieller Eingang wurde hinzugefügt, der den Zugang von der Water Street zur South Street und einem Brunnen aus schwarzem Granit in der Mitte ermöglicht. Der „Walk of Honor“ enthält 12 polierte Stelen aus Granit mit den Namen aller 1741 Gefallenen. Weblinks New York City Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza Offizielle Website der Parkanlage.

Vietnam Veterans Plaza

Vietnam Veterans Plaza is an American memorial plaza in Manhattan, New York. It honors New York City citizens who served during the 20th-century Vietnam War. Description and history Located in the Financial District in Lower Manhattan, it lies on a trapezoidal parcel of land that was formerly a roadway named Coenties Slip. The slip road was used from the 17th century by Dutch sailors between journeys. The slip was filled in 1835, and it then became Jeannette Park in 1884, dedicated to the ill-fated Jeannette of the Jeannette expedition. Horticulturist Samuel Parsons was responsible for laying out the garden in 1886. By the mid-20th century, city planner Robert Moses had rebuilt the park with "horseshoe pitches and tennis, paddleball, handball, and shuffleboard courts all arranged around a tear-shaped asphalt plaza with a flagpole". As part of the construction of the neighboring 55 Water Street, Paul Friedberg was commissioned to redesign the land in 1971, to which he added the amphitheater fountain. Initially, 55 Water Street's owners were responsible for maintaining the park, which was paved in brick similar to the Elevated Acre plaza next to the building. In 1982, plans were unveiled to redevelop Jeannette Park into a memorial for veterans of the Vietnam War. The architects Peter Wormser and William Fellows and the writer Joseph Ferrandino won a competition to design it. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission raised private donations of $2.5 million ($1 million from Donald Trump, who served as co-chairman of the commission) to finance the memorial in 1983. The park was officially renamed Vietnam Veterans Plaza on July 20, 1983. The next year, it was announced that the plaza would contain a memorial wall, similar to that at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial but made of glass blocks. It was dedicated on May 6, 1985, by then-mayor Edward I. Koch to honor the 1,741 citizens of the city who died during the Vietnam War and the 250,000 men and women who served between 1964 and 1975. Mayor Rudy Giuliani rededicated the plaza on November 9, 2001, following the September 11, 2001, attacks, as it underwent a $7 million restoration. A new ceremonial entrance was added providing access from Water Street to South Street and a black granite fountain placed at the center. The "Walk of Honor" contains 12 polished granite pylons with the names and ages at death of all 1,741 people who died. In the future, the park may be the site of an entrance to a Second Avenue Subway station under Hanover Square.

Vietnam Veterans Plaza

Il Vietnam Veterans Plaza, noto anche come New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial, è una piazza commemorativa nel quartiere di Manhattan a New York. Onora i cittadini di New York che hanno prestato servizio durante la guerra del Vietnam del XX secolo. Descrizione Situato nel Financial District di Lower Manhattan, si trova su un pacco trapezoidale di terra che in passato era una strada denominata Coenties Slip. Il raccordo stradale fu utilizzato dal XVII secolo dai marinai olandesi tra un viaggio e l'altro. Nel 1835, e divenne poi Jeanette Park nel 1884, dedicato alla sfortunata nave Jeanette della spedizione artica. L'orticoltore Samuel Parsons Jr. fu responsabile della sistemazione del giardino nel 1886. Verso la metà del XX secolo, l'urbanista Robert Moses aveva ricostruito il parco con campi di ferro di cavallo e campi da tennis, paddleball, pallamano e shuffleboard tutti disposti intorno a una piazza asfaltata a forma di lacrima con un'asta di bandiera. Paul Friedberg fu incaricato di ridisegnare la terra nel 1971, a cui aggiunse la fontana dell'anfiteatro. Nel 1982, i piani furono svelati per riqualificare la terra in un memoriale, e gli architetti Peter Wormser e William Fellows, e lo scrittore Joseph Ferrandino vinsero un concorso per progettarlo. Il Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission ha raccolto donazioni private di $ 2,5 milioni ($ 1 milione da Donald Trump) per finanziare il memoriale nel 1983. È stato dedicato nel 1985 dall'allora sindaco Edward I. Koch per onorare i 1.741 cittadini della città morti durante la guerra del Vietnam e i 250.000 uomini e donne che hanno prestato servizio tra il 1964 e il 1975. Il sindaco Rudy Giuliani ridedicò la piazza il 9 novembre 2001, in seguito agli attacchi dell'11 settembre 2001, subendo un restauro da $ 7 milioni. È stato aggiunto un nuovo ingresso cerimoniale che fornisce l'accesso da Water Street a South Street e una fontana di granito nera posta al centro. La Walk of Honor contiene 12 piloni in granito lucido con i nomi di tutte le 1.741 persone che sono morte.
