Театр Тафта

Театр Та́фта это 2500-местный театр, расположенный в Цинциннати, штат Огайо, по адресу 317 East Fifth Street. Театр был построен в 1928 году о чём свидетельствует его интерьер в стиле ар-деко. Театр является частью Масонского центра Цинциннати на Пятой и Сикамор-стрит, строительство которого началось 14 декабря 1925 года после длительного обсуждения и сбора средств. Почётным председателем проекта был Чарльз Фелпс Тафт (1843—1929), член масонской ложи (Килуиннингской ложи № 356), член Палаты представителей, адвокат, бизнесмен, старший брат 27-го президента США и редактор газеты The Cincinnati Times-Star. Его дом находился в нескольких кварталах от Центра. Строительство закончилось в январе 1928 года. В следующем году Чарльз Тафт скончался. Его дом теперь Музей Тафта, и театр носит его имя. В соответствии со схемой, представленной на сайте театра, сейчас в зрительном зале оборудовано 2251 сидячее место. Из них в партере — 1057, на балконе — 1072 и 122 места в 11-ти ложах. Все места в зале незаслонённые, что дает каждому из них хороший обзор сцены. В 2012 году в дополнение к основному зрительному залу на месте репетиционного помещения Театр Тафта открыл танцевальный зал на 500 стоячих мест, где возможно проведение музыкальных выступлений любого жанра от концертов до частных вечеринок. С 1969 года в помещениях Театра Тафта размещался Детский театр Цинциннати. В 2015 году штаб-квартира Детского театра и образовательные подразделения переехали в новое здание по адресу Red Bank Road 4015, но спектакли по-прежнему идут на сцене Театра Тафта. По состоянию на 2010 год Театр Тафта управляется Music & Event Management Inc., дочерней компанией Симфонического оркестра Цинциннати. Music & Event Management Inc. также управляет Riverbend Music Center и PNC Pavilion. Театр прошел модернизацию и реконструкцию на сумму 3 миллиона долларов в части кондиционирования воздуха, мест для сидения, улучшения туалетов и других удобств. В результате установки более широких и удобных сидений общее количество мест уменьшилось до менее чем 2300. Театр Тафта используется для бродвейских шоу, концертов, комедий и других специальных мероприятий. Примечания Комментарии Источники Литература Crews, Donald I.

Moundsville Bridge

The Moundsville Bridge is a four-lane through arch bridge that connects Mead Township, Ohio and Moundsville, West Virginia across the Ohio River. The approach routes to the bridge carries Ohio State Route 872 (SR 872) on the Ohio side and the unsigned West Virginia Route 2 Spur on the West Virginia side. The bridge is also officially known as the Arch A. Moore Bridge, named after the former West Virginia governor Arch A. Moore, Jr. Description The western approach to the bridge begins at a diamond interchange with Ohio State Route 7 in rural Mead Township, Belmont County, Ohio. North of the interchange, Township Road 533 but towards the bridge, the four-lane, divided SR 872 begins. The road curves to the east and has intersections with access roads (TR 533) to the former R.E. Burger Power Station. First, SR 872 passes over TR 533 and railroad lines before beginning the Moundsville Bridge itself. Near the north bank of the river, the bridge crosses the state line where SR 872 ends and WV 2 Spur begins. After passing the main span, the road begins descending into Moundsville passing over local streets and a railroad. WV 2 Spur ends at a signalized intersection with WV 2 (Lafayette Avenue) and 12th Street in the central business district of Moundsville. History The Dilles Bottom section of Mead Township and Moundsville had been connected by a toll ferry since 1951. Upon the completion of the bridge, the ferry was retired. Planning for the bridge has been ongoing since the late 1970s. Plans for the bridge began during the end of Arch Moore's term as governor but went into limbo due to a state moratorium on building projects at the time. Construction resumed on the bridge upon the announcement of shared funding from West Virginia, Ohio, and the federal government in 1977 by then-Governor Jay Rockefeller; construction was expected to be completed in 1980. By 1979, the Ohio access route was built but the bridge itself was not opened until August 15, 1986. The opening of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge, along with the Moundsville Bridge was thought to have reduced the amount of traffic, and thus tolls collected by the nearby Bellaire Bridge were reduced by 50 per-cent in 1987. Cultural references In the 2011 independent film Margin Call, a character named Eric Dale played by Stanley Tucci boasts of designing a bridge between Moundsville and Dilles Bottom, Ohio in 1986.

Bell Covered Bridge

The Bell Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in rural Washington County, Ohio, United States. One of several such bridges in the region built by the same man, it remained open to traffic with the exception of periodic repairs, until it was permanently closed on September 12, 2022, and it has been named a historic site. Located near the community of Barlow in Barlow Township, the bridge carries the gravel Bell Road over Falls Creek, a southwestern tributary of Wolf Creek. Surrounded by woods, the bridge lies adjacent to the farm once owned by the namesake Bell family, and the surrounding countryside is a mixture of forests and agricultural fields. The builder was E.B. Henderson, who was responsible for four bridges in the area: the Blackwood Covered Bridge (1879), the Shinn Covered Bridge (1886), the Bell Covered Bridge (1888), and the Henry Covered Bridge (1894). Like two of the other three, the Bell is a multiple king post truss design, which became popular nationwide following its use on the National Road in a past version of the Y-bridge in Zanesville to the north. An ordinary gable-roofed bridge with windows just below the roofline, the bridge spans 59 feet (18 m); the deck is approximately 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, with 15 feet (4.6 m) of interior width, and the 11 feet (3.4 m) height permits slightly more than 9 feet (2.7 m) of interior clearance. It rests on abutments built of sandstone, quarried locally, while the roof is made of tin. The abutments are similar, with their faces underlying the bridge decks and wing walls to the side. Officials twice closed the bridge for extensive repairs: structural problems prompted a 1998 closure, during which stones in the abutment were replaced, the truss system solidified, and missing or damaged components replaced with identical newly produced components, and a 2005 closure to fix damage caused by termites. With those exceptions, the bridge remained open continuously since its construction through September 12, 2022. On September 12, 2022, the bridge was permanently closed and a bypass was built by contractors under the direction of Washington County officials. The bypass opened on November 14, 2022. In late 2012, the Bell Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying as a historically significant example of local engineering. It is one of seven covered bridges on the National Register in Washington County, along with Henderson's Shinn Bridge and the Harra, Hildreth, Hune, Rinard, and Root Bridges.

Bernard Ratterman House

The Bernard Ratterman House is a historic house in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the middle of the nineteenth century to a design by an unknown architect, it has been named one of the neighborhood's best examples of Italianate architecture. Built of brick with sandstone and iron elements, it includes features such as an ornate cornice, stone window trim, lug sills with brackets, and rare details such as crafted acorns. Bernard Ratterman, the original resident, was a white-collar worker; after the house was completed in 1865, he and his family resided in it for several years, during which time he floated among various jobs. Since his family's departure from the house, it has been well-maintained; the house's well-preserved architecture qualified it for addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. As well, the Ratterman House is a contributing property to the Over-the-Rhine Historic District, which was designated a historic district and added to the National Register in 1983. References
Brittany Apartment Building

The Brittany Apartment Building is a historic apartment building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A Queen Anne structure constructed in 1885, it is a six-story rectangular structure with a flat roof, built with brick walls and elements of wood and sandstone. It was built by the firm of Thomas Emery's Sons, Cincinnati's leading real estate developers during the 1880s. It is one of four large apartment complexes erected by the Emerys during the 1880s; only the Brittany and the Lombardy Apartment Buildings have endured to the present day. Both the Lombardy and the Brittany were built in 1885 according to designs by Samuel Hannaford; at that time, his independent architectural practice was gaining great prominence in the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Among the distinctive elements of the Brittany's architecture are the massive chimneys on each end of the building. The exterior of the building is covered with decorative pieces, such as a comprehensive cornice with boxed pediments, plentiful brick pilasters and corbelling, and prominent bay windows. In 1980, the Brittany Apartment Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its well-preserved historic architecture. Dozens of other properties in Cincinnati, including the Lombardy Apartment Building, were added to the Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of buildings designed by Samuel Hannaford. Eight months later, the portion of Ninth Street between Vine and Race Streets was added to the Register as the Ninth Street Historic District, and the Brittany Apartments were named one of the district's dozens of contributing properties. The building has been redone as LeBrittany, housing 15 units of luxury condominiums. References External links Owner's website
Brookfield Air Force Station

Brookfield Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 1.1 miles (1.8 km) south-southeast of Brookfield, Ohio. It was closed in 1959. History Brookfield Air Force Station constructed as part of the Air Defense Command permanent network it was opened in April 1952. The 662d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron began operations with AN/FPS-3 and AN/FPS-5 radars, and initially the station functioned as a Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) and warning station. As a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes. This operation allowed Lashup site L-18 at Ravenna, Ohio, to shut down. In 1957 the AN/FPS-5 height-finder radar was replaced with an AN/FPS-4, and then the AN/FPS-4 was replaced with an AN/FPS-6 in 1958. In addition to the main facility, Brookfield operated two unmanned AN/FPS-14 (P-62B) and AN/FPS-18 (P-62A) Gap Filler sites Thompson, Ohio (P-62A) 41°41′09″N 081°02′38″W Lewisville, Ohio (P-62B) 39°45′23″N 081°13′40″W The P-62 site designation and the 662d Radar Squadron were transferred to Oakdale AFS, Pennsylvania, when radar operations ceased at Brookfield AFS on 1 Nov 1959 due to budget considerations. This site at Brookfield became a gap-filler radar site (RP-62E) for Oakdale. The Brookfield site operated as a gap-filler annex from Feb 1964 until June 1968. Its Ground Air Transmit Receive (GATR) site (R-12) also remained in operation. After the site was closed by the military, the property was acquired by Trumbull County, Ohio, and the buildings were turned into the Trumbull County Nursing Home Facility. In the early 1980s, the nursing home was closed due to budget issues, and the Air Force closed down the R-12 GATR site.

Columbia Airport (FAA LID: 4G8) is a privately owned, public use airport in Lorain County, Ohio, United States. It is located one nautical mile (2 km) northwest of the central business district of Columbia Station, Ohio. Facilities and aircraft Columbia Airport covers an area of 87 acres (35 ha) at an elevation of 813 feet (248 m) above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway, designated as runway 18R/36L, which measures 3,152 by 40 feet (961 x 12 m). There are also two turf runways: 18L/36R is 2,947 by 65 feet (898 x 20 m) and 2/20 is 2,580 by 85 feet (786 x 26 m). The airport has a fixed-base operator with limited amenities. For the 12-month period ending June 17, 2010, the airport had 5,150 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 14 per day. At that time there were 44 aircraft based at this airport: 95.5% single-engine and 4.5% multi-engine. Accidents and incidents On December 7, 2013, a Cessna 152 struck a soft spot while landing on Runway 36R. The aircraft subsequently nosed over, causing substantial damage to the wings and tail. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's inadequate flight planning and decision to land on the soft grass/turf runway which resulted in a nose over.

Cross Mound

Cross Mound (also called the Tarlton Cross Mound) is an earthwork located near Tarlton, Ohio in the United States. The culture who built it and the time it was built remains unknown. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A 21st-century archaeologists described it as "one of the many enigmatic effigy mounds in Southern Ohio." Location The site is located in Cross Mound Park, near a tributary of the Scioto River. The site totals 29-acres. To access the site, visitors must pass over a suspension bridge that was built in 1936. Survey history Squier and Davis: 1848 Ephraim George Squier and Edwin Hamilton Davis visited the site in the mid 1840s. They would discuss their survey in their 1848 publication Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley. They describe the location of the work as occupying a "narrow spur of land,". They describe the design of the work as a Greek cross. The work was three feet high and 90 feet apart on each end and closely matches the cardinal directions. A small ditch surrounded it, following the design of the cross. In the middle of the cross was a circle shaped depression. The depression was noted as being 20 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. Towards what they describe as the "back" of the cross was "a small circular elevation of stone and earth." (Later to be described by contemporary surveyors as a "small stone mound".) They believed it to be an altar. Squier and Davis believed that this installation represented a connection with the Alligator Effigy Mound in nearby Granville, Ohio. Near the main site, they noted a collection of smaller mounds. A larger hill near the cross was described as having "several large mounds". Today Today, the site is maintained and owned by Fairfield County Parks. The Ohio Historical Society reports that the 20-foot depression in the middle of the cross is 12 inches deep, not 20 inches deep in the middle of it. Dr. Greg Little also suggests that the cross itself is four feet high, not three feet high as surveyed by Squier and Davis. Three small mounds also exist at the site, today. The exact age of the site is undetermined. They theorize that the site may represent the sun, as crosses were utilized by the Mississippian culture frequently as a sun symbol. They also theorize that it was built by the Fort Ancient peoples, but the National Park Service and others suggest that it was built by the Hopewell culture. Despite the suggestion of that the Hopewells designed the work, Dr. Jarrod Burks of Ohio Valley Archaeology states, "not enough evidence exists to support this claim." Burks does believe that the site was probably built during the Middle Woodland period. Other effigy mounds in the area, Alligator Effigy Mound and Serpent Mound, are both dated after 1,000 AD. This dates them as being built by the Fort Ancient peoples, and Burks believes the same might be true for Cross Mound. Gallery References External links Cross Mound Park
