Roosevelt High School (Yonkers, New York)

The Theodore Roosevelt High School was a public high school opened in 1926, operated by Yonkers Public Schools, located on the corner of Tuckahoe Road and Central Park Avenue in Yonkers, New York. It shared its campus with Early College High School from 2010, which completely replaced Roosevelt High School in 2013. Then, due to fierce opposition by alumni, on June 18, 2014, the Yonkers Board of Education voted to rename Early College High School, to the new name of Roosevelt High School – Early College Studies. The class of 2013 was the last graduating class at the original Roosevelt High School, as the building changed its name, school colors, and mascot to "Early College High School". The change was the result of test scores given to the school, as well as to offer a two-year college preparatory program within the city. As of fall 2014, Roosevelt has reverted to a name closer to its old name, as it is now "Roosevelt High School - Early College Studies" although the home team is now "The Sharks" (changed from the former school mascot "The Indians"), and the team colors are no longer red and white; they are now blue and white. On June 23, 2015, the school held a ceremony to officially commemorate the new name "Roosevelt High School - Early College Studies". Alumni Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist David Halberstam graduated from Roosevelt High School in Yonkers in 1951. Mary J. Blige attended this school and dropped out during her junior year. Steven Tallarico, better known as Steven Tyler, the lead singer for Aerosmith and a judge on American Idol, also attended and was expelled from this school due to drug use. Tyler's bandmate in Aerosmith, drummer Joey Kramer, also graduated from Roosevelt High School. Other famous alumni include astronaut Ron Garan, Hall & Oates bass player Tom Wolk aka T. Bone Wolk, actor and former president of the Screen Actors Guild Richard Masur, screenwriter Irving Brecher, and 1976 Miss America, Tawny Godin. Eugene Lent Church, theoretical physicist, graduated in 1942 at 16; he earned an AB from Princeton and a PHD from Harvard, and also served in the US Navy in WWII. Acting teacher and director Stephen Book graduated from Roosevelt in 1963. External links Roosevelt High School website References
Roscoe Diner

The Roscoe Diner, located in the hamlet of Roscoe in Sullivan County, New York is a frequent stopping point for those traveling Route 17 between New York City and Upstate New York. The one-story diner with flagstone exterior is just off exit 94, the Roscoe/Lew Beach exit. It is a popular spot both for students heading to and from colleges in New York State, for flyfishermen as well as locals. Description The Roscoe Diner was built in 1962 and is considered to be one of the busiest and most well known restaurants along Route 17. As of 2020, it is owned by the Niforatas family. Although Roscoe is a small hamlet with a population of less than 500 at the time of the 2020 census, the diner served anywhere between several hundred and a thousand meals each day at its peak, leading the diner to declare itself "World Famous." Customer numbers have declined in recent years due to a decline in trout fishing, the region's main draw. The diner's signature item is its French Toast, featuring slabs of bread that are 1.5" thick. Breakfast is served all day, and meals are served on Syracuse China. Pennants from colleges in New York and across the northeast region decorate the walls. References

Roslyn Cemetery

The Roslyn Cemetery is a historic cemetery located on Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) in Greenvale, in Nassau County, New York, United States. It is owned by the Roslyn Presbyterian Church which is located within the Village of Roslyn. Description The Roslyn Cemetery is a product of the "Rural Cemetery Act" of which one of the many intents was to move burial grounds away from the local church and community as well as to design the grounds in a park like setting. This is clearly evident in the "Roslyn Cemetery" which is more like a botanical garden than a cemetery. Interments began in the 19th century and it continues to accept burials today. The cemetery has many notable figures as well as a section dedicated to fallen Civil War soldiers. The "East Gate Toll House" which sits on the south east side of the "Roslyn Cemetery" and is clearly seen from Northern Blvd. (Route 25A) is the last remaining toll house that served the North Hempstead Turnpike. It was built around 1864 and is frequently but incorrectly referred to as being a toll house for the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway which ran considerably south of this location. Over the years the toll road had ceased operation and the main road was moved south of the toll house. The "Roslyn Cemetery" eventually surrounded the property. This structure sat unoccupied for many years and served little more than a shed for cemetery work tools. In the 1980s it was restored. It serves as a private residence and, like the surrounding cemetery, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New York State Register of Historic Places – as well as being a Town of North Hempstead Designated Landmark. Notable interments William Cullen Bryant, poet and journalist, lived in Roslyn Frances Hodgson Burnett, author of The Secret Garden, A Little Princess and Little Lord Fauntleroy Christopher Morley, poet and journalist, lived in Roslyn Stephen Taber, a United States Congressman from New York from 1865–1869 William Tavoulareas, President of Mobil Corporation 1969–1984 lived in Sands Pt.

The Roslyn National Bank and Trust Company Building is a historic commercial building located in the Incorporated Village of Roslyn in Nassau County, New York, United States. Description The building was designed by architect William Bunker Tubby and was built in 1931 to serve as the new headquarters for the Roslyn National Bank and Trust Company. Located on the northeastern corner of Old Northern Boulevard and Remsen Avenue, it is a one-story, rectangular brick building with a flat roof in a modified Classical Revival style. The front facade is three bays wide and features a Tuscan order wood portico with paired columns. In 1951, the Roslyn National Bank and Trust Company moved its headquarters from this building to a new, A. Stanley Miller-designed location in nearby Flower Hill, wedged between Northern Boulevard (NY 25A), Mineola Avenue, and Old Northern Boulevard. Following the bank's relocating to its new location, the building subsequently served as the home of the Nassau County Tuberculosis and Public Health Association and, subsequently, the Tyrone Men's Clothing, Sportswear and Accessories store; the store closed in 2019 and a new tenant has since moved in. The building was added to the New York State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Roslyn Savings Bank Building

The Roslyn Savings Bank Building is a landmarked, historic commercial building located on Old Northern Boulevard within the Incorporated Village of Roslyn in the Town of North Hempstead, in Nassau County, on Long Island, New York, United States. The building is currently occupied by a branch of Flagstar Bank – of which the Roslyn Savings Bank became part. Description The building was originally built for the Roslyn Savings Bank (now part of Flagstar Bank) on the site of its older bank building in 1932. It was designed by architect Alfred C. Shaknis and replaced the previous, 1906 bank building; the previous bank building housed both the Roslyn Savings Bank and the Bank of Hempstead Harbor – the latter of which would eventually be renamed the Roslyn National Bank and Trust Company and move to its own standalone location slightly to the north along Old Northern Boulevard in 1931. Additions to the building were built in 1963 and 1980. The building's additions occupy the former site of the Roslyn Hotel.

Mirror Lake (New York)

Der Mirror Lake ist ein See in der US-amerikanischen Stadt Lake Placid im Bundesstaat New York. Lage und Nutzung Der See Mirror Lake befindet sich im Zentrum von Lake Placid und wird für viele Freizeitaktivitäten genutzt. Im Sommer wird viel Kanu oder Kajak auf dem See gefahren oder Stand Up Paddling betrieben. Im Winter wird auf der gefrorenen Fläche Eislauf betrieben und es werden Hundeschlittenfahrten angeboten. Von 1918 bis zum Bau des Olympiastadions im Winter 1930/31 fanden auf der gefrorenen Fläche des Mirror Lakes mehrere Eisschnelllauf-Wettbewerbe statt, darunter Nordamerikameisterschaften und US-Titelkämpfe. 1926 bestritten die Olympiasieger von 1924 Charles Jewtraw und Clas Thunberg hier Schaurennen. Im Rahmen der Olympischen Winterspiele 1932 in Lake Placid wurde der Mirror Lake als Trainingsstätte für die Eisschnellläufer genutzt. Salzgehalt des Sees Aufgrund von Enteisungspraktiken im Winter auf den umliegenden Straßen weist der Mirror Lake erhöhte Natrium- und Chloridkonzentrationen auf. Darüber hinaus kommt es am Mirror Lake aufgrund von Regenwasserabfluss zu einer Ansammlung von salzhaltigem Wasser am Grund des Sees. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Mirror Lake (New York)

The oligotrophic, circumneutral body of water called Mirror Lake is in the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York in the United States. The lake is approximately 124 acres (0.50 km2), with a watershed area of 741 acres (3.00 km2). 27% of the watershed area is developed, 51% is forested, 2% is wetlands, and 20% is surface water. The lake has a maximum depth of 65 feet (20 m) and an average depth of 14 feet (4.3 m). It is located in the village of Lake Placid, near the center of the town of North Elba in Essex County. Recreational Use Situated in the center of the Village of Lake Placid, Mirror Lake experiences a lot of recreational use. During the summer it is popular for canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding. In the winter, you can take a dogsled ride on the lake or ice skate on a maintained track around the perimeter of the lake. The swim portion of the Lake Placid IRONMAN competition takes place in the lake and swim lanes are set up through the summer for swimmers to practice. Motorboats and snowmobiles are not allowed on the lake. Lake Monitoring In 2016, the Ausable River Association and Adirondack Watershed Institute launched a comprehensive monitoring program on Mirror Lake. The lake is monitored bi-weekly during the open water season and monthly while the lake is frozen. During each sampling visit surface and bottom water samples are collected for chemical analysis of chlorophyll-a, nutrients, and metals. In addition, vertical profiles of temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, and pH are recorded at 1 metre (3.3 ft) intervals through the entire water column. Threats Road Salt Mirror Lake has elevated sodium and chloride concentrations as a result of winter de-icing practices on the roads and sidewalks surrounding the lake. The salt levels are higher than 97% of other lakes surveyed as part of the Adirondack Lake Assessment Program. The surface water chloride concentration (47.8 mg/L) is 239-time higher than the average for Adirondack lakes not impacted by road salt. In addition, Mirror Lake experiences a buildup of salt laden water at the bottom of the lake as a result of direct stormwater inputs. At the bottom of the lake chloride concentrations have been recorded as high as 125 mg/L, or 520-times higher than lakes not impacted by road salt. Low Dissolved Oxygen Deep water dissolved oxygen is important to maintaining a healthy cold-water fishery, especially for native lake trout. Mirror Lake experiences low dissolved oxygen at the bottom of the lake during the summer months. While this phenomenon is natural in some lakes, ongoing research on Mirror Lake is seeking to determine whether land use and stormwater runoff are exacerbating the low dissolved oxygen situation in Mirror Lake.

Seagram Building

El Seagram Building és un gratacel, situat a Nova York, Midtown (375 Park Avenue, entre els carrers 52 i 53), dissenyat per l'arquitecte alemany Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, en col·laboració amb l'arquitecte americà Philip Johnson, entre 1954 i 1958. El Seagram Building és National Historic Landmark d'ençà el 24 de febrer de 2006. Arquitectura Implantació El Seagram Building és implantat en retirada de 28m respecte Park Avenue, en virtut de la Zoning Law (zonificació) en vigor entre 1916 i 1961, que obligava els arquitectes a adaptar l'alçada dels immobles a l'amplada dels carrers. Davant el Seagram s'hi troba doncs un «espai privat-públic», una plaça de granit guarnida amb una font. L'edifici L'estructura està expressada a la façana: segons Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, els elements estructurals d'un edifici havien de ser visibles. El Seagram Building (com la majoria dels grans immobles de l'època) té una ossada de betó armat sobre la qual s'hi suspènel mur cortina. Mies volia una ossada metàl·lica aparent, tanmateix el codi de la construcció americà demanava que totes les estructures fossin ignifugades, i va haver d'amagar l'ossada —cosa que volia evitar a qualsevol preu— i va emprar doncs pilars metàl·lics en «I» no estructurals de color bronze per significar l'estructura en façana. L'estructura visible és doncs simulada. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe cercava una regularitat total per a l'aparença de l'edifici. No li agradava la irregularitat de les persianes més o menys abaixades, que dona als edificis un aspecte desorganitzat. Va emprar doncs persianes amb tres posicions: obert, semiobert, i tancat. El minimalisme de la composició il·lustra la divisa de l'arquitecte: «Less is more» (Menys és més»). El Seagram Building va ser, al seu temps, l'edifici més car del món, degut al preu dels materials i de la sumptuosa decoració interior: bronze, travertí, marbre. Four Seasons Restaurant El restaurant The Four Seasons Restaurant, situat al Seagram Building, va ser també concebut per Ludwig Mies van der Rohe i Philip Johnson. L'interior ha estat conservat igual d'ençà l'obertura el 1959. Una sèrie de quadres havia estat encarregat a Mark Rothko el 1958. Va acceptar la bestreta i va resoldre fer «alguna cosa que arruïni l'àpat de cada fill de puta que mai mengi en aquesta cambra». Va abandonar tanmateix el projecte, va tornar la bestreta i va guardar les teles; la sèrie va ser dispersada entre la Tate Gallery, la National Gallery of Art i el Kawamura Memorial Museum al Japó.

Seagram Building

Seagram Building je mrakodrap v New York City na manhattanském Midtownu. Nachází se na bulváru Park Avenue mezi 52. a 53. ulicí. Stavba byla navržena německým architektem Ludwigem Miesem van der Rohem ve spolupráci s Philipem Johnsonem. Má 38 podlaží, výšku 157 metrů a k dokončení došlo v roce 1958. Architektura Tato stavba vznikla ve stylu funkcionalismu a měla velký vliv na americkou architekturu. Šlo o jeden z prvních mrakodrapů, který měl celoskleněnou fasádu s lehce zbarvenými termookny. Dělí ji pouze přidané pásy jednotlivých pater. Jedním z charakteristických rysů funkcionalismu bylo vyjádřit či formulovat konstrukce budov externě. Seagram Building, stejně jako prakticky všechny velké soudobé stavby, byla postavena z ocelového rámu. K jeho konstrukci bylo použito 1500 tun bronzu. Po dokončení budovy se stalo Seagram Building jedním z nejdražších mrakodrapů své doby, zejména díky použití kvalitních materiálů a drahému vnitřnímu vybavení včetně bronzu, travertinu a mramoru. Interiér byl navržen tak, aby byla zajištěna soudružnost s venkovními prvky. Prostranství před mrakodrapem tvoří vizuální protiváhu, která částečně odstraňuje dojem tíhy z mohutného objemu budovy. Seagram Building inspiroval tvůrce české budovy Strojimportu v Praze na Vinohradech, postavené roku 1971.
