Catharine and built between 1929 and 1930, it is a three-story, eleven-bay bay, brick building that sits on a raised basement. It was designed in the Late Gothic Revival-style. An addition was built in 1954. It features a projecting central entrance pavilion, brick piers, and a castellated parapet. It was named for James Elverson, publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. References External links [1]

Jay Street Bridge

The Jay Street Bridge crosses the West Branch Susquehanna River between Lock Haven on the south bank and Lockport on the north. The original structure, completed for the Lock Haven Bridge Company by the E. Kirkbride Company in 1852, was a covered bridge about 800 feet (240 m) long. A two-story toll house, 48 feet (15 m) long and 18 feet (5.5 m) wide was later added at the foot of the bridge on the Lock Haven side. Travelers using the bridge passed through an archway in the center of the toll house. The bridge included a covered pedestrian walkway on the downstream side. After the wooden bridge was destroyed by fire in 1919, it was replaced by an iron bridge, and a steel girder bridge replaced the iron bridge in 1986. State Route 664, the southern terminus of which is in Lock Haven, crosses the river over the steel bridge. The bridge is slightly upstream of Lock Haven's Canal Park, featuring remnants of the Bald Eagle Crosscut Canal. It is also slightly upstream of the Lock Haven Dam (also known as the Dunnstown Dam), built in the 19th century to provide water to the West Branch Canal, which ran parallel to the Lockport and Dunnstown side of the river. Canal boats crossed the pool behind the dam by means of a cable ferry between Lock No. 34, about 2,000 feet (610 m) east of the bridge on the Lockport side, and Lock No. 35 on the Lock Haven side. The steel bridge is 8.5 metres (28 ft) wide and about 250.5 metres (822 ft) long. It has an operating rating (maximum allowable weight of a vehicle using the bridge) of 60.8 metric tons (67.0 short tons). In 2007, the average daily traffic count for the bridge was 3,646 vehicles.

Lehigh-universiteit

De Lehigh-universiteit (Lehigh University) is een particuliere universiteit gelegen in Bethlehem, in de Amerikaanse staat Pennsylvania. De universiteit werd oorspronkelijk opgericht in 1865 als een technische school, maar is nadien uitgegroeid tot een universiteit met vier faculteiten. Geschiedenis De universiteit werd opgericht door Asa Packer. Hij vernoemde de universiteit naar zijn passie, de spoorwegen. De universiteit was bedoeld om een combinatie van vrije kunsten en wetenschappelijke educatie te bieden. Van 1871 tot 1891 stelde Packers financiële steun aan de universiteit studenten in staat om gratis te studeren. De crash van de aandelenmarkt door de paniek van 1883 was een grote financiële klap voor de universiteit omdat die veel van zijn financiën in aandelen had gestoken. Derhalve was de universiteit in 1897 gedwongen zijn banden met de Episcopale Kerk te verbreken, om zo in aanmerking te komen voor steun door de staat en de federale overheid. De universiteit werd in 1910 uitgebreid met een faculteit voor bedrijfseconomie en economie. In juli 2008 hield Tenzin Gyatso, de veertiende dalai lama een aantal lezingen aan de universiteit. Campus De campus van de universiteit heeft een oppervlakte van 6,475 vierkante kilometer. Er staan 150 gebouwen. De campus is onderverdeeld in drie kleinere campussen: Asa Packer Campus Mountaintop Campus Murray H. Goodman Campus Colleges De universiteit telt vier faculteiten: P.C. Rossin College voor techniek en toegepaste wetenschappen Faculteit voor kunst en wetenschap Faculteit voor bedrijfseconomie en economie. Faculteit voor pedagogiek De faculteit voor kunst en wetenschap is het grootst. Hier studeert ongeveer 40% van de studenten. De faculteiten bieden verschillende opleidingen op onder andere bachelor-, Master of Science-, Doctor of Philosophy-, Master of Business Administration- en Master of Engineering-niveau.

John Harris Bridge

Die John Harris Bridge, auch South Bridge, ist eine siebenstreifige Straßenbrücke über den Susquehanna River zwischen Harrisburg und Lemoyne im Bundesstaat Pennsylvania der USA. Sie führt den Interstate Highway 83 und ist mit der weiter flussaufwärts gelegenen George N. Wade Memorial Bridge Teil des Capital Beltway, einer Ringautobahn um die Metropolregion Harrisburg. Die Brücke wird täglich von durchschnittlich 96.000 Fahrzeugen benutzt, Betreiber ist das Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Benannt ist die Brücke nach dem Gründer und Namensgeber der Stadt Harrisburg John Harris, Sr. (1673–1748). Die einen Kilometer lange Balkenbrücke wurde Ende der 1950er Jahre als Bestandteil der Schnellstraßen-Verbindung zwischen Harrisburg und Baltimore errichtet, die Teil des neu-entstehenden Netzes der Interstate Highways wurde. Zum Zeitpunkt der Einweihung am 22. Januar 1960 besaß sie vier Fahrstreifen und wurde bis 1982 auf sechs erweitert. Der Seitenstreifen der flussabwärts gelegenen Seite wurde dann 2015 in einen weiteren Fahrstreifen in Richtung Harrisburg umgewandelt, die am Ende der Brücke zur Abfahrt auf die Second Street wird. Die heutige Hauptbrücke besteht aus zwei parallel verlaufenden Balkenbrücken aus Vollwandträgern, die auf 18 Strompfeilern ruhen und 19 Spannweiten zwischen 43,2 m und 51,8 m bilden. Daran schließen sich die Zufahrten aus einer Vielzahl weiterer Balkenbrücken an. Die ursprüngliche Brücke besaß zwei 7,9 m breite Fahrbahnen für je zwei Fahrstreifen. Bis 1982 wurden die Strompfeiler auf der flussabwärts gelegenen Seite erweitert, die zweiten Brückenträger in gleicher Ausführung installiert und mit den alten verbunden. So entstanden zwei 15,9 m breite Fahrbahn, die heute für drei Fahrstreifen nach Süden und vier nach Norden genutzt werden.
