Elmendorf Reformed Church

The Elmendorf Reformed Church, formerly known as the Elmendorf Chapel, is a historic Reformed Church in America (RCA) church located at 171 East 121st Street between Sylvan Court and Third Avenue in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was founded as a parish house and Sunday school for the First Collegiate Church of Harlem, which had its beginnings in 1660 as the Low Dutch Reformed Church of Harlem or Harlem Reformed Dutch Church, the first house of worship in Harlem. The Church's original burying ground for its African American congregants was discovered in 2008 at the 126th Street Depot of the MTA Regional Bus Operations when body parts were found upon digging at the location. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to move the Depot by 2015. Sanctuaries were built in 1665–67, 1686–87, 1825 and 1897, at various locations in the area. In 1893-94 a Neoclassical parish house was built on this site under the auspices of Rev. Joachim Elmendorf, designed by Joseph Ireland. Around 1910, the church at the time was torn down, and the parish house was rebuilt as the Elmendorf Chapel, which then became the Elmendorf Reformed Church. It is the oldest congregation in Harlem. The church is a two-story plus basement building which is "L" shaped in plan and fills much of its 53 feet wide by 120 feet deep lot. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. On September 22, 2002, Patricia A. Singletary became the first female minister of the Elmendorf Reformed Church. The Elmendorf Reformed Church was organized in 1660 as the Harlem Reformed Low Dutch Church[5][6][7] References Notes External links Media related to Elmendorf Reformed Church at Wikimedia Commons Elmendorf Reformed Church website
Elmwood (Oyster Bay, New York)

Elmwood, also known as "The Cliffs," is a historic home located at Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York. It was built in 1836 for New York merchant Thomas F. Youngs (1805–1883) in the Greek Revival style. The original house is a 2-story, gable-roofed, five-by-three-bay wood-frame house. It was expanded about 1915 during its ownership by Charles L. Tiffany II (1878–1947), son of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), and his wife, the suffragist and philanthropist, Katrina Brandes Ely Tiffany (1875–1927). It features a prominent cornice and architrave and an imposing tetrastyle Ionic order portico. Also on the property are an assortment of 19th century dependencies including a gazebo, tool shed, ice house, greenhouse, barns, and a brick coach house built in 1918 by Mr. Tiffany. The property also features a tall, octagonal, board and batten water tower. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. References
Elmwood Park (Syracuse, New York)

Elmwood Park is located in the southwestern portion of Syracuse, New York. The park was originally built and opened as a privately owned park in 1893. It is significant as an example of such parks from the Pleasure Ground Era. After the site was purchased by the city of Syracuse in 1927, bridges, embankments, walls and stairs built of wood and stone were added, making the park also representative of the Reform Park Era. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. History Earliest records from 1796 show transfer of land title from Elliot Herrin to Comfort Tyler. Dating back to 1806, a furnace was constructed on the site to cast shot and shells and the park was the location of a battle in the War of 1812. The land was first developed over 17 acres in 1893 by William Pardee as "First Class Temperance Pleasure Resort", which offered family friendly entertainment with facilities such as swan boats operating in two man-made lakes, a merry-go-round, picnic shelters, dance pavilions, a rifle range, a restaurant, concessions, and the natural attractions of bluffs, stream and wildflowers. It opened on Decoration Day (Memorial Day), May 29, 1893. In May 1896, Pardee sold the resort to Billy McGlory, a saloon keeper and underworld figure in New York City. McGlory renamed the place " “Elmwood Elysium" and attempted to run it from May 1896 but finally closed it on June 21, 1899. McGlory faced intense backlash from the temperance crowd and was driven away after relentless opposition from the locals. After his left, the park was briefly reopened as Dreamland Park, but that failed, and it was left to grow wild. In 1909, a fire burned down many of its old buildings. In 1927, the city purchased the land and Elmwood was developed into a park, with stone bridges, walls, and stairs to enhance the natural features. In 1933, during the Great Depression, the work relief crews planted of 10,000 nursery plants donated by Syracuse University’s College of Forestry. Gallery References External links Official website
Emmanuel Baptist Church (Brooklyn)

Emmanuel Baptist Church (EBC) is a Baptist megachurch in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, on the northwest corner of Lafayette Avenue and St. James Place, affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. The congregation is 2,200 people. The Senior Pastor is Anthony L. Trufant and the Executive Pastor is Shareka Newton. History The congregation was established around 1882 with 194 members that had broken from the Washington Avenue Baptist Church. The Emmanuel congregation commissioned architect E. L. Roberts, the architect of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church, to build them a small, Gothic-style, two-story interim chapel on St. James Place (1882–1883)." Fund raising for the permanent church began in 1884. It was paid for by Charles Pratt and built in 1887 to designs by architect Francis H. Kimball in the Gothic Revival style "as a synthesis of the cathedral type and the Baptist preaching church." It is considered one of Kimball's finest designs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The church building was opened on April 17, 1887. Architectural critic Montgomery Schuyler praised it as "a very rich scholarly and well considered design." The most conspicuous design feature of the interior was the central font. In 2017, the attendance was 2,200 people. See also List of New York City Designated Landmarks in Brooklyn References

Liberty Tower (Manhattan)

Der Liberty Tower, früher Sinclair Oil Building genannt, ist ein historisches denkmalgeschütztes Hochhaus im Stadtbezirk Manhattan in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten. Das heutige Wohngebäude war von 1919 bis 1945 das Hauptquartier der Sinclair Oil Corporation. Beschreibung Das Hochhaus befindet sich in Lower Manhattan (Downtown) im Financial District an der Liberty Street zwischen Nassau Street und Liberty Place nur wenige vom Broadway und dem Zuccotti Park entfernt. Direkt benachbarte Wolkenkratzer sind der 210 Meter hohe 140 Broadway (früher Marine Midland Building) und der 248 m hohe 28 Liberty Street, die beide ebenfalls unter Denkmalschutz stehen. Der Liberty Tower wurde als Bürogebäude für die Liberty-Nassau Building Company von dem Architekten Henry Ives Cobb entworfen und von 1909 bis 1910 im neugotischen Stil erbaut. Bis 1919 trug das Gebäude den Namen Bryant Building. Das Hochhaus hat eine Höhe von 117,4 Meter (385 Fuß) und besitzt 33 Stockwerke. Das Design orientiert sich sowohl an der englischen Gotik als auch an der französischen École des Beaux-Arts. Keine der vier Seiten des Hochhauses sind parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. Die Seiten weisen eine Länge von 25 m zur Nassau Street, 18 m zur Liberty Street, 26 m zum Liberty Place und 20 m an der Nordseite auf. Der Turm ist mit zahlreichen Wasserspeiern, Vögeln, Alligatoren und Blumen aus Terrakotta geschmückt. Mit seinen rund 117 Metern Höhe gehörte es zwar zu dieser Zeit zu den höheren Gebäuden der Stadt, wurde aber auch bereits von vielen weiteren Hochhäusern in unmittelbarer Umgebung überragt. Nach der finanziellen Krise der Liberty-Nassau Building Company wurde der Liberty Tower 1919 für 2,5 Millionen US-Dollar an die Sinclair Oil Company veräußert. Architekt Joseph Pell Lombardi erwarb 1978 das Gebäude für eine Million US-Dollar und verkaufte die einzelnen Einheiten an eine Wohnungsgenossenschaft. Er ließ das Hochhaus bis 1981 komplett renovieren und in einem Apartment-Gebäude mit 87 Wohnungen umwandeln. Der Liberty Tower wurde am 24. August 1982 von der Landmarks Preservation Commission der Stadt New York als Denkmal zum National Historic Landmark erklärt und am 15. September 1983 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Das Gebäude ist des Weiteren Teil des 2007 ausgewiesenen historischen Bezirks Wall Street Historic Districts. Durch den Einsturz der Türme des früheren World Trade Centers am 11. September 2001 wurde der Liberty Tower durch schwere Erschütterungen so stark beschädigt, dass eine von 2007 bis 2009 erfolgte Restaurierung mit Kosten von etwa 5 Millionen US-Dollar förderlich war, die auch die gesamte Fassade einschloss. Dabei wurden 202 Skulpturen und 3200 Terrakotta-Blöcke ersetzt oder restauriert. Eigentümer ist seit 1978 die Wohnungsgenossenschaft „55 Liberty Owners Corporation“.

Liberty Tower

La Liberty Tower, anciennement Sinclair Oil Building, est un gratte-ciel situé au 55 Liberty Street, à son intersection avec la Nassau Street, dans le Financial District de Manhattan à New York. La construction a débuté en 1909 pour s'achever en 1910 : la tour était alors occupée par des bureaux. Elle a été dessinée par l'architecte de Chicago Henry Ives Cobb, dans un style néo-gothique. Lors de son édification, les gratte-ciel n'en étaient qu'à leurs premiers débuts, et le savoir-faire nécessaire à leur construction était bien mince : ainsi, la Liberty Tower a été construite sur des fondations surdimensionnées, qui descendent de l'équivalent de cinq étages sous le niveau de la rue. Cela a permis au bâtiment de résister à l'effondrement des deux tours jumelles du World Trade Center en 2001. L'édifice est bâti en pierre calcaire et recouvert de terre cuite blanche ornée d'oiseaux, d'alligators, et autres créatures chimériques. Histoire À l'emplacement de la Liberty Tower se situait un bâtiment abritant les bureaux du New York Evening Post et qui avait aussi servi de quartier général à l'American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, fondée en 1867. Le gratte-ciel possède une histoire riche. Le cabinet du président Theodore Roosevelt a été l'un des premiers à occuper le bâtiment après son ouverture en 1910. En 1917, un bureau a été loué afin de servir de couverture à des espions allemands cherchant à éviter une intervention de l'Amérique lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Le complot était destiné à diriger l'attention de l'Amérique dans une guerre de diversion avec le Mexique et le Japon, mais a été découvert le 1er mars 1917 avec l'interception et le décodage d'un télégramme par des cryptographes britanniques. Cet événement a incité le président Woodrow Wilson à déclarer la guerre à l'Allemagne un mois plus tard. Peu de temps après, l'ensemble du bâtiment a été loué par la compagnie pétrolière Sinclair Oil, responsable du scandale du Teapot Dome en 1922. Avant le scandale du Watergate, celui du Teapot Dome était considéré comme étant « le scandale le plus sensationnel de l'histoire de la politique américaine ». En 1979, la Liberty Tower, achetée 922 000 $, a été convertie en appartements par l'architecte Joseph Pell Lombardi. Elle a été désignée comme monument de New York en 1982 et a été ajoutée au Registre national des lieux historiques le 15 septembre 1983.

Liberty Tower

La Liberty Tower, chiamata in precedenza Sinclair Oil Building, è un grattacielo residenziale di 33 piani situato nel Financial District di Manhattan a New York, al 55 di Liberty Street all'angolo nord-ovest con Nassau Street. Fu costruito tra il 1909 e il 1910 come edificio per ospitare uffici commerciali ed è stato progettato da Henry Ives Cobb in stile neogotico. Il sito dove è presente la costruzione è adiacente all'edificio della Camera di Commercio di New York, mentre l'edificio della Federal Reserve Bank di New York si trova a est, dall'altra parte di Nassau Street. L'ufficio legale dell'allora futuro presidente degli Stati Uniti Franklin Delano Roosevelt fu uno dei suoi primi lotti occupati dopo l'apertura dell'edificio nel 1910. Poco dopo la prima guerra mondiale, l'intero edificio fu acquistato dalla Sinclair Oil. Nel 1979 l'architetto Joseph Pell Lombardi convertì l'edificio da uso commerciale in residenziale e lo ribattezzò "Liberty Tower". L'edificio è stato designato come d'interesse storico dalla Commissione per la conservazione dei monumenti di New York nel 1982 ed è stato aggiunto al Registro nazionale dei luoghi storici (NRHP) nel 1983.
