Richard Wall house

The Richard Wall house is a historic home in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, built in 1682. It was owned by the Wall family for 165 years. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as Wall House and is also sometimes referred to as The Ivy. The home has undergone several renovations, and a section of the basement wall is the only original remaining construction. It was the site of religious meetings and weddings, and among the earliest locations of Quaker worship in the United States. It is now a museum open to the public, and is located at Church Road and Wall Park Drive in Elkins Park. History Richard Wall was a founder of Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania. He arrived with William Penn's group of Quakers in 1682. He and fourteen others pooled their land purchases to create the township. They named the township for the main town in Gloucestershire, England, where they apparently originated. The Wall family was joined in marriage by the Shoemaker family. The families owned a corn grist mill on Tacony Creek. Descendants of the Walls lived in the house until 1847, followed by the Bosler family. In 1932, the township acquired the house and surrounding lands, which was named Wall Park. The house was rented from 1932 to 1979. In 1941, Harold C. Pike, the township manager, moved into the home and resided there until his death in 1978. Since 1980, the house has been managed by the Cheltenham Township Historical Commission, which opened the museum and orientation center in 1993. An original section of masonry wall can be seen in the current basement. The house was redesigned in 1730, 1760, and 1805. Later renovations added running water and electricity. The permanent exhibits display elements of life over more than 200 years of residence. Highlights include a fully furnished and electrified 5-foot-tall (1.5 m) doll house created before 1920 and a collection of over 100 antique tools.

Walnut Street Bridge (Philadelphia)

Walnut Street Bridge, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, crosses the Schuylkill River between Center City and West Philadelphia. The bridge carries Walnut Street across the Schuylkill River. History Walnut Street Bridge was built originally in 1893. After falling into a state of disrepair in the late 20th century, it was rebuilt in 1990. In 2012, the bridge was adjusted again to become a 3-lane bridge with 12-feet-wide (3.7m) foot paths, and a bike lane. The original 1893 bridge was a 60-foot-wide (18 m) concrete structure with three steel Pratt trusses mounted on four heavy oblong concrete abutments and piers. It was demolished in 1988, but its piers were used for the 62-foot (19 m)-wide 1991 span. See also List of crossings of the Schuylkill River References

Washington Crossing Bridge (Pittsburgh)

The Washington Crossing Bridge, commonly known as the Fortieth Street Bridge, is an arch bridge that carries vehicular traffic across the Allegheny River between the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Lawrenceville and the suburb of Millvale. The bridge is decorated with the seals representing the original 13 states of the United States and that of Allegheny County. History Erected between 1919 and late 1924, and officially opened on December 29, 1924, the Washington Crossing Bridge was originally built to accommodate two lanes of traffic and one streetcar line. Its estimated cost upon completion was $2,344,000. A 1982 re-decking allowed for the creation of a reversible third automobile lane. The bridge received its name because it is located at a historically significant site pertaining to George Washington's military career. In 1753, then-Major Washington was dispatched to give French forces an ultimatum to negotiate for the return of the lands that today make up Western Pennsylvania to the British or to prepare for a military strike. Crossing the Allegheny on a wooden raft, Washington was nearly killed when his vessel overturned at this site.

Washington Square (Philadelphia)

Washington Square is een open park in de wijk Center City van de Amerikaanse stad Philadelphia. Het park maakt onderdeel uit van het Independence National Historical Park. Geschiedenis Het park was opgenomen in de stadsplannen van de landmeter van William Penn, Thomas Holme, en werd aangelegd bij de bouw van de stad. In de zeventiende eeuw werd het park gebruikt als weide voor het vee. Ook werden er de Afro-Amerikaanse. Tijdens de Amerikaanse Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog werden ook soldaten en andere stadsbewoners in het huidige park begraven. In 1793 vond de eerste Amerikaanse luchtvaart in het park plaats toen Jean Pierre Blanchard in het park opsteeg met zijn heteluchtballon. Pas na 1815 werd het park verbeterd, omdat de wijken grenzend aan het park erg in trek waren en in 1825 werd het park vernoemd naar George Washington. Monumenten Het park is de locatie van een monument dat is opgericht ter nagedachtenis van de Amerikaanse Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog. De Tombe van de Onbekende Revolutionaire Soldaat werd in 1957 gebouwd. Tussen 1908 en 1954 was het park ook de locatie van het Washington Grays Monument. Referenties
Площа Вашингтона (парк у Філадельфії)

Площа Вашингтона (англ. Washington Square) — відкритий парк площею 2,6 га у південно-східному квадранті Центру міста Філадельфія в Сполучених Штатах Америки. Він є частиною районів міста Захід площі Вашингтона та елітного житлового району Суспільний пагорб. Тепер це частина Національного історичного парку Незалежності. Історія На початку XVIII століття територію, де тепер розміщений парк, почали використовувати як цвинтар. Спочатку розділена на трикутники двома струмками, його північно-західна частина була цвинтарем для жебраків, а південно-східна частина була призначена для поховання католиків. У 1776 році цвинтар став місцем останнього спочинку загиблих солдат Вашингтона Грейса — героя Громадянської війни в США. Довгі траншеї для братських могил спочатку були викопані вздовж вулиць 7-ї та Горіхової (Walnut Street), а згодом розширені до південної сторони теперішнього парку. Під час британської окупації Філадельфії в 1777 році тут також ховали мерців із сусідньої в'язниці на Горіховій вулиці. Згодом також на ціинтарі було поховано багато жертв міської епідемії жовтої гарячки 1793 року. Площа служила також для ринку худоби. З плином часу околиці навколо були забудовані та стали модними, тому в 1815 році площа була закрита як цвинтар і почалися роботи з благоустрою території. У 1825 році парк був названий «Площа Вашингтона» на честь Джорджа Вашингтона, і було запропоновано встановити йому пам'ятник. Цей пам'ятник так і не був побудований, але став першоосновою для вшанування солдатів Війни за незалежність США. Спочатку на площі стояли пам'ятники учасникам Громадянської війни в США. Одним із таких пам'ятників став монумент Вашингтону Грейсові. У 1954 році вирішили забрати пам'ятні знаки громадянської війни та присвятити площу тільки пам'яті про Війну за незалежність США.
