The Hotel Hershey

El Hotel Hershey es un complejo hotelero en Hershey, Pensilvania. Establecido en 1933, es un hito histórico y un hotel de cinco estrellas ubicado en la cima de una colina con vista a Hershey, Pensilvania, y sus alrededores. Tiene 276 habitaciones y 23 500 pies cuadrados (2183,2 m²) de espacio para eventos. El estilo arquitectónico del hotel es un renacimiento colonial español, que incluye mosaicos y arcos, y un balcón estilo villa con vista a Hershey y Hershey Gardens. Fotografías históricas y obras de arte originales se alinean en los pasillos y decoran las paredes de las habitaciones, así como en el Iberian Lounge, que está diseñado para parecerse a los salones de cigarros oscuros e iluminados por chimeneas del pasado. Historia Durante la Gran Depresión, Milton S. Hershey, fundador de The Hershey Chocolate Company, planeó que el hotel fuera una recreación del famoso Heliopolis Palace Hotel, los planes de construcción cambiaron y se retrasaron debido a los costos, la muerte de la esposa de Hershey, Catherine, y el estallido de la Primera Guerra Mundial.​ Cuando comenzó la construcción, los nuevos planes se basaron en influencias mediterráneas y españolas. La construcción comenzó en 1931 y el hotel se completó el 23 de mayo de 1932. El esfuerzo empleó hasta 800 trabajadores. La factura del hotel fue de alrededor de $ 2 millones. El Hotel abrió oficialmente el 26 de mayo de 1933. Generar ingresos para entonces no era el objetivo principal del proyecto. Siendo el punto álgido de la Gran Depresión, Hershey intentaba ayudar a la gente de la ciudad creando puestos de trabajo.​ En 1934, se agregó un campo de golf de nueve hoyos a los terrenos y en 1961, se agregó una piscina al aire libre.​ En 1977, se agregó una nueva ala de 100 habitaciones al hotel junto con una nueva piscina cubierta y un gimnasio.​ En 2001, se agregó un spa de servicio completo llamado "The Spa At The Hotel Hershey". El spa ofreció tratamientos con chocolate, entre ellos: envolturas de chocolate, baños de chocolate, loción de chocolate y exfoliantes.​ En 2009, The Hotel Hershey completó el trabajo en un proyecto de expansión y renovación de $ 67 millones que incluyó un exterior y un vestíbulo rediseñados.​ Referencias enlaces externos Sitio web oficial Hershey Community Archives website Historic Hotel Hershey photographs
The Miquon School

The Miquon School is an independent, parent-owned, elementary school located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. History The Miquon School was founded in 1932 by Margaret Kiscadden and Peggy Irwin as a cooperative run by parents, as a "progressive, independent elementary school in a red, two-room farmhouse in Whitemarsh Township". Parents were responsible for "policy, operation and maintenance". Description The school follows the educational philosophy of John Dewey, who "developed curricula and methodologies that focused on activities and projects, discovery, investigation, and real-world experiences". A co-founder said, "We read extensively the works of Gesell, Kilpatrick and Dewey on education and finally mustered up the courage to start an experimental cooperative school here in Miquon." By 1947, the school had become "known among educators as an outstanding exponent of the 'progressive' theory of education", and had over 100 students, ages 3 to 12. A 1967 Philadelphia Inquirer article reported, "In 1954 a concerted effort was made to improve teaching at Miquon and the freedom of aca demic policies has allowed the programs to move forward dramatically. The total enrollment is 155. Miquon's math program, for instance, is distributed by the Encyclopædia Britannica. Surprisingly, in spite of the economic pressures of low salaries, the teaching staff turnover is low... It is a topnotch progressive private school where the student-teacher ratio is high and a youngster's individual development is primary. Miquon has some pretty advanced education methods." In 1976, a profile of principal Richard Mandel said, Miquon is one of those unstructured co-ops started by parents who were dissatisfied with what the public schools had to offer, and it is still owned and run by its parents. Such alternative schools have become something of a national fad in the past few years; the average life span of such a school is 18 months, according to the New Schools Exchange, a California group that publishes a directory of alternative schools... But Miquon has been around for 44 years. Its parents and its 140 students and 18 teachers survive on a bare-bones, $250,000 budget by creating their own teaching materials and by using the natural resources of their 13 rustic acres as much as possible. The Upper School was founded in 1970 and later became The Crefeld School. See also The Crefeld School References External links Official website
The Monastery (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

The Monastery is a historic stone house in Philadelphia, located on Wissahickon Creek at Kitchens Lane. It was built in 1747 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The house's connection to monastic life is uncertain or simply legendary, but German mystic and hermit Johannes Kelpius lived nearby in the Wissahickon Valley from 1694 until his death in 1708, and connections with monks from Ephrata have been reported. According to the History of Philadelphia (1884): ...there is a recital in the deed that Joseph [Gorgas] had since (1747) erected at his own cost and charges "a three-story stone house or messuage on a certain piece or spot of land." Joseph Gorgas was a member of the society of Seventh Day Baptists. It is conjectured that he erected this house for purposes of seclusion and meditation. It is said, "Hither were gathered congenial spirits like himself, and there they held sweet communion." A small strip of land below the county bridge is pointed out as the place where the monks were accustomed to administer the rite of baptism in the Wissahickon, and on the early township map the spot is designated as the Baptisterion. Joseph Gorgas sold the lot with the house, now called the "Monastery," to Edward Milner in 1761, and it has since gone through various hands. The house in which the unknown author of the "Chronicon" lived for seventeen months could not have been the stone mansion to which tradition affixes the title. There is no proof that Gorgas allowed his house to be used for monastic purposes, but novelists have made much of the legends and tales of hermits and monks that cluster thickly about the vicinity.

Wilma Theater (Philadelphia)

The Wilma Theater is a non-profit theater company located at 265 S. Broad Street at the corner of Spruce Street in the Avenue of the Arts area of Center City, Philadelphia. The company's current 296-seat theater opened in 1996 and was designed by Hugh Hardy. History The Wilma Theater began in 1973 as the "Wilma Project", founded to produce original material and to develop community-oriented artists. The name "Wilma" refers to an imaginary oppressed sister of Shakespeare created by Virginia Woolf. Blanka Zizka and Jiri Zizka from Czechoslovakia joined the project in 1979 as artists-in-residence, and later took over artistic leadership, changing the name to the Wilma Theater. The company staged their productions at a variety of different theaters, in particular a 100-seat converted garage on Sansom Street, but opened their current 296-seat theater on S. Broad Street in 1996. Jiri Zizka left the theater at the end of the 2009–2010 season and died in January 2012. In 2015, the theater formed a permanent troupe of in-house actors, the Hothouse. Yury Urnov, James Ijames, and Morgan Green were named co-artistic directors alongside Blanka Zizka in 2020, with Zizka retiring in 2021. Ijames departed the Wilma in 2023 and Lindsay Smiling, an actor in the theater's resident HotHouse company, was named as a co-artistic director with Urnov and Green. In 2026, it was announced that Lindsay Smiling would become the sole artistic director, with Urnov staying on as resident director. Awards and honors As of 2018, the theater had won 68 Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre and received 238 nominations. On May 22 2024, it was announced that the Wilma would be the recipient of the 2024 Regional Theatre Tony Award, which comes with a $25,000 grant. Zizka credited the Hothouse for the award, describing them as the "soul" of the Wilma. WHYY's arts and culture reporter Peter Crimmins has similarly noted that "The Wilma is distinctive not only for the excellence of its original productions, but [also] for its unique approach to running a theater company."

Three Gateway Center

Three Gateway Center is a 344 ft (105m) skyscraper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was completed in 1952 and has 24 floors. It is the 20th tallest building in Pittsburgh. 2012 hostage incident On the morning of September 21, 2012, 22-year-old military veteran Klein Michael Thaxton (who reportedly had a criminal record, and was believed to be carrying a gun and two duffel bags) stormed into a 16th-floor office of CW Breitsman Associates and took a male hostage while letting at least two females go. Police believed a male hostage was targeted because Thaxton was believed to have asked for a particular male. Pittsburgh Police, with the assistance of the Allegheny County Sheriff and Port Authority of Allegheny County police, closed off surrounding streets, as well as closing the buildings plaza and the Gateway Center Subway Station for the five-hour standoff, before successfully resolving the situation. It was confined only to one room in the suite, and no injuries or deaths occurred, as evacuations were minimal and people were still occupying other portions of the skyscraper. Thaxton communicated to friends, family (authorities had brought his mother to the scene), and others through his Facebook page during the first few hours of the standoff, the first documented case of such a hostage situation in history, before police had the page shut down to facilitate negotiations.

Zapora Austin

Zapora Austin – zapora wodna wybudowana w dolinie Freeman Run w pobliżu Austin, w hrabstwie Potter (Pensylwania). Budowa W 1900 spółka Bayless Paper wybrała miejsce na budowę zapory w dolinie Freeman Run. Prace nad nią trwały od 8 maja do 9 grudnia 1909. Budowano ją szybko i oszczędnie. Celem budowy było utworzenie zbiornika zaopatrującego w wodę papierniczy młyn George'a Baylessa. Kierownikiem budowy był pełnomocnik Baylessa, inżynier budowlany T. Chalkey Hatton. Po znalezieniu małej ziemnej tamy, która była jednak nieodpowiednia, firma Hattona postanowiła zbudować dużą, betonową zaporę w dolinie. Zapora mierzyła 15 m wysokości, 167 m długości i była wówczas największą zaporą w Pensylwanii. Koszt budowli wyniósł 86 tys. dolarów. Utworzony powyżej zapory zbiornik retencyjny miał pojemność do 946 tys. m³ (250 mln galonów amer.), a jego głębokość wynosiła 12 m. Katastrofa 30 września 1911 doszło do przerwania zapory. Zniszczeniu uległ młyn papierniczy i większość miasta Austin. Śmierć poniosło 78 osób, a szkody związane z katastrofą oszacowano na ówczesnych 10 mln dolarów. Po tym zdarzeniu odbudowano zarówno zaporę, jak i młyn, jednak młyn spłonął w 1933, a zapora runęła w 1942, tym razem bez ofiar śmiertelnych. Obecnie w pobliżu Austin nie funkcjonuje żadna zapora wodna. Przyczyny Kilka miesięcy po zdarzeniu zostały podane do wiadomości publicznej przyczyny tragedii. W styczniu 1910 podczas nagłej odwilży zbiornik szybko się wypełnił. Zapora pod naciskiem ciśnienia wygięła się ponad 10 m (36 stóp) i beton zaczął pękać. Wyginanie zmniejszono poprzez wysadzenie dynamitem 4 m (13 stóp) zapory w celu spuszczenia nadmiaru wody. Ten zabieg nie odniósł zamierzonego rezultatu, gdyż cement był mokry i stabilność zapory nadal nie była pewna. Przypisy
