Bodie Island fyr

Bodie Island fyr är en amerikansk fyr på halvön Bodie Island på North Carolinas ostkust. Fyren, som är den andra av tre fyrar på barriäröarna Outer Banks som ritades av Dexter Stetson, är byggt av tegel och 47 meter hög. I anslutning till fyren ligger en fyrvaktarbostad i två våningar och ett oljeförråd. Fyren tändes första gången den 1 oktober 1872. Fyrapparaten avger två vita blixtar var trettionde sekund. Den första fyren på platsen byggdes år 1847 av en tulltjänsteman utan erfarenhet av fyrar. Något år senare började den att luta och trots flera reparationer kunde fyren inte räddas utan måste rivas. År 1859 byggdes en ny fyr i närheten, men den sprängdes under amerikanska inbördeskriget två år senare av soldater från sydstaterna som befarade att nordstaterna skulle använda tornet som utsiktspost. Fyren elektrifierades och avbemannades år 1932 och år 1953 övertog National Park Service området runt fyren. I juli 2000 övertog de själva fyrplatsen och lät renovera och måla fyren 2002–2004. USA:s kustbevakning hade planer på att byta ut Fresnel-linsen mot en modern lins av plast, men efter protester överlät de linsen och ansvaret för reparationer och drift till National Park Service. I augusti 2004 föll två stora järnbitar ner från fyrens balkong och ett staket restes runt fyren. Kongressen beviljade medel för ytterligare renoveringar i mars 2009 och i september samma år började arbetet med att restaurera fyren. Projektet avslutades våren 2013 efter att ytterligare medel hade beviljats och den 19 mars 2013 tändes fyren igen. Fyrvaktarbostaden används som besökscenter och kontor för personal från den kringliggande nationalparken och som museum. Fyrplatsen och museet är öppna hela året och fyren kan besökas med guide under sommarhalvåret. Källor Externa länkar Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Bodie Island fyr.
Farol de Oak Island

O Farol de Oak Island é um farol de concreto localizado geograficamente na Ilha Oak, no leste do estado da Carolina do Norte, nos Estados Unidos. História O farol começou a ser construído no ano de 1958 na Ilha Oak. É composto de concreto e está a 47 metros (153 pés) de altura e é estruturado com 24 estacas a 67 pés de profundidade. O farol marca a foz do rio Cape Fear e, de 1958 até 1962, foi o mais brilhante farol dos EUA e o segundo no mundo, superado apenas por um farol francês ao longo do Canal da Mancha (atualmente emite cerca de 2.500.000 de candelas). A luz alcança 169 metros acima da água e pode ser visto por um observador a 16 quilômetros, o que é necessário para marcar a entrada do rio Cape Fear e ajudar a evitar os navios perigosos bancos de areia frigideira. Em 2003, o Oak Island Lighthouse foi designado como excedente pela Guarda Costeira americana, embora tenha continuou operando a baliza. Em 2004, a cidade de Caswell Beach recebeu a posse do farol e da propriedade à beira-mar adjacente pelo Governo Federal dos Estados Unidos, em troca de seu acordo para manter a propriedade para parques e propósitos de recreação. Este é o farol que aparece no filme "Todo mundo em pânico 3". Referências

Gem Theatre (Kannapolis, North Carolina)

The Gem Theatre in Kannapolis, North Carolina is a theater first opened December 31, 1936, built by Cannon Mills for its workers. The Gem is one of the oldest movie theaters with one screen in the United States. History After a 1942 fire, only the façade, offices, projection booth and part of the lobby remained. The theater was rebuilt and reopened in 1948 with 916 seats and a new balcony to replace the old one. Steve Morris bought a share of the theater in 1995 and became general manager and later the owner. With competition from newer theaters, the Gem showed movies that had already been shown elsewhere. First-run movies returned in 2000. The city of Kannapolis bought the theater in 2015 as part of a downtown revitalization project. Renovations done in 2021 include the exterior, roof, and HVAC. The theater reopened May 16, 2024 after five months of interior renovations costing $1.2 million. Architecture The theater building uses Art Deco designs including the prominent blue marquee, which includes about 50 neon lights. In the interior, the trough lighting was restored along the ceiling. In the theater itself, the screen is flanked by two original metalwork panels with stylized birds-of-paradise.

112 Tryon Plaza

112 Tryon Plaza is a 280 feet (85 m) 22-story high-rise in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the second tallest building in North Carolina when completed in 1927, and the tallest building in Charlotte for about 35 more years. It is currently the 21st tallest building in the city. Located on "The Square" at the corner of Trade St. and Tryon St. adjacent to a pocket park, this building has a premiere location in Uptown Charlotte, also known as Charlotte center city. In 2006 it was sold for $12 million to the Simpson Organization. History In 1925, First National Bank president Henry McAden hired prominent Charlotte architect Louis H. Asbury, who had designed a home for him in 1916 in Myers Park. Engineering firm Lockwood, Greene & Company worked with Asbury. The $1.8 million building opened September 9, 1927. Soon, the Charlotte branch of the Federal Reserve located on the nineteenth floor. First National Bank did not make enough of an effort to secure tenants, and the building was only 30 percent occupied in late 1930. This helped lead to the bank's failure on December 4 of that year. By 1934, new owners had doubled the building's occupancy, and the Federal Reserve branch took over the lower floors. In 1942, the building's name changed to The Liberty Life Building. The Federal Reserve had moved to its own building by this time. In 1964, the name changed again, to The Baugh Building. A modern facade was added. By 1976, the Bank of North Carolina Building, as it was being called, was half empty. In 1982 SYNCO Inc. spent $11 million on renovations, including the entrances, and adding a 20-story addition in back, with Odell Associates the architectural firm. On December 17, 2007, the Charlotte City Council designated the First National Bank Building as a historic landmark. In 2007, the building was converted to an office condominium and renamed to simply Tryon Plaza. Numerous improvements were made to the building by the developer including a complete facade renovation; a restoration of the original bank board room which features wood paneled walls, a ceiling with ornate plaster carvings, and a stained glass window; the addition of a multi-room conference center with a catering kitchen; the addition of a full gym facility with locker rooms, steam rooms, and a spa services room; and the addition of storage units on the lower level. Valet parking and a full service concierge have been added to complete the full service offering of this boutique office condominium.

400 South Tryon

400 South Tryon, formerly called the Wachovia Center, is a high-rise office building in Charlotte center city, North Carolina.
