Gallitzin State Forest

Gallitzin State Forest is a Pennsylvania State Forest in Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry District #6. The main offices are located in Ebensburg in Cambria County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The forest is located on 24,370 acres (9,860 ha) in two non-contiguous tracts. The largest tract is the Babcock Division in northern Somerset and northwestern Bedford Counties. The other, smaller tract is in northern Cambria and Indiana Counties. The state forest includes Charles F. Lewis Natural Area and Clear Shade Wild Area. Gallitzin State Forest was named to honor Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin. Gallitzin was a Roman Catholic priest and is called The Apostle of the Alleghenies for his pioneering mission work in the area in the early 19th century. History Gallitzin State Forest was established in 1916 in response to large scale deforestation that took place during the mid-to-late 19th century. Conservationists like Dr. Joseph Rothrock became concerned that the forests would not regrow if they were not managed properly. Lumber and Iron companies had harvested the old-growth forests for various reasons. The clear cut the forests and left behind nothing but dried tree tops and rotting stumps. The sparks of passing steam locomotives ignited wildfires that prevented the formation of second growth forests. The conservationists feared that the forest would never regrow if there was not a change in the philosophy of forest management. They called for the state to purchase land from the lumber and iron companies and the lumber and iron companies were more than willing to sell their land since that had depleted the natural resources of the forests. The changes began to take place in 1895 when Dr. Rothrock was appointed the first commissioner of the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters, the forerunner of today's Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed a piece of legislation in 1897 that authorized the purchase of "unseated lands for forest reservations". This was the beginning of the State Forest system. Environment Gallitzin State Forest protects part of the Appalachian mixed mesophytic forests ecoregion. The forest is located at the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau, at elevations of about 2400 feet (730 m) above sea level. This is in the lower reaches of an alpine-type climate, and species such as birch trees, more common further north in New England and Canada, may be found in the forest.

Garden Theater

The Garden Theater (or Garden Theatre) is a 1,000-seat theater that was built in 1915 at 12 West North Avenue in the Central Northside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Formerly a movie theater, it closed in 2007 and has not been in use much since that time, except for a scene in the movie adaptation of One for the Money starring Katherine Heigl filmed in July 2010. The city of Pittsburgh hopes to revitalize the theater, and it was placed on the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations by the Pittsburgh City Council on March 25, 2008. History Built in 1914, and designed by architect Thomas H. Scott and financed by David E. Park, a steel-industry scion and banker, the Garden Theater exhibits a Beaux Arts style. According to a 14-page Historical American Buildings Survey data sheet from 1978, "motion picture theaters became more substantial and dignified than the earlier Nickelodeons. The Garden Theater is a typical little-changed neighborhood movie house of this century's second decade." Bennett Amdursky managed the theater from the time it opened, purchased it from Park's son in 1924, and ran it until his death in 1970. The theater "became the pride of his life," the historical survey states. "He worked at the theatre daily until his death in the spring of 1970, over a half-century later." After he died, things changed. In 1973, the pornographic film Deep Throat played there, and did quite well, and soon after the Garden became known as an adult movie theater. It was a porn theater for 34 years thereafter, until it closed in 2007. The auditorium was demolished sometime between 2012 and 2014. However, the lobby building is being renovated. Film depictions The 1979 sports/cult classic The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh used the Garden Theater and its surrounding neighborhood as the home of the film's astrologist heroine Mona (Stockard Channing) to depict a gritty inner-city gypsy fortune teller's residence. The 1995 TV adaptation of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson used the Garden Theater in a scene where Boy Willie and Lymon attend a movie in Pittsburgh. The 2010 film One for the Money starring Katherine Heigl uses the same exact buildings complete with the Garden Theater marquee to once again depict a gritty inner-city former burlesque district. This time, the theater and area around it are used to recreate a seedy Trenton, New Jersey, inner-city neighborhood. Redevelopment In 2007, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh purchased the building for $1.1 million. The theater along with several other buildings including the former Masonic Hall located in the same block along North Avenue, were later sold to a Philadelphia-based development company. The Theater has now been purchased and redeveloped by Trek Development and Q Development. The building now features 76 apartments that will open July 2023. References
Gardner Steel Conference Center

Gardner Steel Conference Center (GSCC) is an academic building of the University of Pittsburgh and a contributing property to the Schenley Farms National Historic District and a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark. An Early Modern structure built from 1911-1912 by architects Kiehnel and Elliott, has been noted for its capital ornamentation over the entrance doors, and the wave-like shapes repeated across the cornice which likely derive from the German art nouveau movement jugendstil. The building originally served as the Central Turnverein, a German-American social and athletic association, and later known as the Central Athletic Association. It served as the site of various athletic contests, including some involving the University of Pittsburgh. During World War I, it was used to house those in the Student Army Training Corps. Following the war, a severe space shortage at the Dental School prompted the university to purchase the building in 1920 for use as a dental clinic and infirmary. Known then as the Infirmary Building, a 2,500-square-foot (230 m2) annex was erected in 1922 creating enough space in the building to hold 200 dental chairs. The Gardner Steel Conference Center, as it is now known, is currently home to classrooms, computer labs, the Academic Resource Center, and the Innovation Institute. In 1995, the School of Engineering and the Department of Mathematics collaborated on a $250,000 joint project that created a 2,300-square-foot (210 m2) laboratory for the computer instruction of calculus. The Gardner Steel Conference Center is the former home to the Pitt Club, a University of Pittsburgh faculty and staff club defunct since 2003. Previously, it also served for a time as home of the General Alumni Association (now the Pitt Alumni Association based in Alumni Hall). The Gardner Steel Conference Center is named after Gardner Steele, a Pitt alumnus and investor in the oil fields of Oklahoma. He matriculated in 1891 and was a member of one of the first intervarsity football teams and also held the record for the 100-yard (91 m) dash while at Pitt. When he died in 1928, he left the bulk of a $300,000 estate to the university. References Starrett, Agnes Lynch (1937). Through one hundred and fifty years: the University of Pittsburgh.

Gateway station (Pittsburgh)

Gateway station is a station on the Pittsburgh Light Rail system in Downtown Pittsburgh, operated by Pittsburgh Regional Transit. The station is located within the system's free fare zone, which also includes First Avenue, Steel Plaza, Wood Street, North Side, and Allegheny. Until October 30, 2009, it was the terminal station for the light rail system. The station was clsed as part of construction work on the North Shore Connector project, and a new station opened in 2012 (though its name was truncated from "Gateway Center" to simply "Gateway"). The former station entrance was demolished and a new station was built. Gateway station and North Side station lie at the southern and northern ends of the Allegheny River Tunnel, respectively. History Gateway Center station was opened on July 3, 1985 as part of the new subway system that replaced the remaining downtown street running trolleys. Named for Gateway Center, the adjacent office complex, the station served the western portion of downtown. The stop also served major buildings such as One PPG Place and Fifth Avenue Place, the shopping and dining district at Market Square, and the historical and recreational hub of Point State Park. Gateway Center closed on October 30, 2009, as part of the North Shore Connector project, and a newly constructed station (named Gateway) opened just north of the original station on March 25, 2012. The original platform under Liberty Ave was left intact and abandoned, and can be seen while riding the train towards Wood Street. The station features a mural by artist Romare Bearden. Commissioned by Pittsburgh Regional Transit as part of the original station complex, the mural is now valued at $15 million. The Heinz Endowments has pledged $250,000 toward the costs of removal and refurbishment. The mural was removed when the station was demolished, but was reinstalled in the new station. The original mural had one tile which had accidentally been placed upside-down, and the reinstallation of the mural faithfully reproduced this error.

General Wayne Inn

The General Wayne Inn is a former tavern and, since 2005, an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located at 625 Montgomery Avenue in Merion Station, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Tavern history Established as a tavern in 1704, it was previously named the William Penn Inn, Wayside Inn, Tunis Ordinary, and Streepers Tavern before being renamed in 1793 in honor of American Revolutionary War hero General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who had once stayed there. The Inn later gained fame for rumors of being "haunted". Murder and suicide Executive chef James Edwin “Jim” Webb and his business partner Guy Angelo Sileo Jr. bought the General Wayne in 1995. Webb was found murdered there in his office on December 27, 1996. Felicia Moyse, a 20-year-old assistant chef at the inn and Sileo's girlfriend, committed suicide on February 22, 1997. Moyse had been an alibi witness for Sileo. On the night of the murder, she and Sileo left the General Wayne at the same time, driving to dinner in their separate vehicles. Sileo doubled back, killed Webb using a .25 Beretta Model 20 pistol later linked to him by forensic evidence, then rushed to arrive at dinner before Moyse. Police believe that Moyse realized her boyfriend had set her up as his alibi and was unable to live with it. Police proved that Sileo had killed Webb in order to receive the $650,000 (equivalent to $1,334,000 in 2025) life insurance money from their partnership policies, before Webb could end their partnership and shut down the General Wayne. Sileo was convicted in 2001 and sentenced to life in prison. Famous people Famous people who visited the inn include: Julius Erving Benjamin Franklin Dylan Gelula Marquis de Lafayette William Penn Edgar Allan Poe George Washington Anthony Wayne Synagogue In 2005, the building was purchased and renovated as Chabad of the Main Line, an Orthodox Jewish congregation that practices in the Chabad-Lubavitch rite. Located on the Philadelphia Main Line, the congregation converted the former tavern into a synagogue and community center. In popular culture The rumors that the Inn was haunted were explored on the TV series Unsolved Mysteries (season 1, episode 3, first broadcast 10/26/1988) in the segment "The Unexplained: The General Wayne Inn". The murder which occurred at the Inn was the subject of "Murder on the Menu", an episode of the TV series Forensic Files (season 10, episode 38, first broadcast 2/8/2006).

George Brinton House

George Brinton House, auch bekannt als Wawassan oder Roundelay, ist ein historisch bedeutsames Gebäude in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Geschichte Das Anwesen wurde um 1830 auf einem Hang mit Blick auf das östliche Ufer des Brandywine Creek im damals für die Region typischen Federal Style erbaut. Aufgrund dieser strategisch günstigen Lage war das Grundstück 53 Jahre zuvor während der Schlacht von Brandywine ein Schauplatz des Gefechts gewesen. Der Erbauer des Hauses, George Brinton, war ein direkter Nachfahre des englischen Quäkers William Brinton, der 1684 die Gegend als Erster besiedelt hatte. Das Grundstück wurde ihm von seinem Großvater, Caleb Brinton, vererbt, der als Müller zu Wohlstand gekommen war und dort während der Schlacht von Brandywine in einem älteren Haus gelebt hatte. George Brinton verkaufte das 275 Acre große, mittlerweile als Wawassan bekannte Anwesen 1870, unter anderem weil die Wassermühle am Bach Brinton’s Run nicht mehr ausreichend war, weshalb sein Sohn einige Jahre zuvor auf einem anderen Grundstück eine neue Mühle direkt am Brandywine Creek erbaut hatte. Nach mehreren Besitzerwechseln wurde 1949 der Flottillenadmiral Delmar S. Fahrney Eigentümer von George Brinton House. Von seiner Frau erhielt das Anwesen den Namen Roundelay. Am 25. Oktober 1990 wurde George Brinton House in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Neben dem Hauptgebäude wurden ein Stall, ein Kutschenhaus und die Ruine einer größeren, aus Stein gebauten Scheune als Contributing Properties anerkannt. Architektur George Brinton House ist ein zweieinhalbgeschossiges, fünf Joch breites und aus Feldstein gebautes Haus mit Dreiecksgiebel, dessen Tiefe zwei Räume beträgt. Das Dach ist mit Zedernholz gedeckt. Die Sprossen- und Schiebefenster bestehen aus jeweils 6 Scheiben. Die Fensterläden im Erdgeschoss sind getäfelt, die darüber liegenden Fensterflügel Jalousien. Über der Eingangstür ist ein halbkreisförmiges Oberlicht mit feingliedrigem Maßwerk sowie ein Vordach aus Holz, welches von zwei klassisch geformten Säulen in toskanischer Ordnung getragen wird. George Brinton House hat eine zentrale Eingangshalle, die ein typisches Element der damaligen Architektur in den Mittelatlantikstaaten ist. Nordwestlich ist ein Flügel für die Küche angebaut, der bis 1845 ergänzt wurde. Das Haus hat zwei Kamine, die im vorderen und rückwärtigen Bereich jeweils Feuerstellen im Erdgeschoss und im ersten Stockwerk bedienen. George Brinton House gilt als ein großartiges Beispiel für die späte Phase des Federal Style bei Farmhäusern in Pennsylvania. Der Architekturstil zeichnet sich in dieser Region über ein Jahrhundert lang durch standardisierte Gestaltung aus, die vor allem von den Quäkern geschätzt wurde. Der typische Grundriss wird als center-hall Georgian Plan bezeichnet. Einzelnachweise
