Lawrence Park Dinor

The Lawrence Park Dinor (also known informally as the Dinor at Lawrence Park or as simply Park Dinor in the National Register of Historic Places) is a Silk City diner in Lawrence Park Township, Erie County in U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It was opened in 1948, and has operated since then. The previous owner George Gourlias got the diner listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The spelling "dinor" is unique to northwestern Pennsylvania, and its origin is largely unknown. Design The Lawrence Park Dinor is located in Lawrence Park Township, outside of Erie, Pennsylvania, on Main Street in a 40-by-125-foot (12 m × 38 m) lot. Because of the property's narrow size, the diner is oriented perpendicular to the street. A cottage erected at the same time as the diner sits at the rear of the lot, and served as the living quarters for the diner's original owners. The Lawrence Park Dinor was manufactured by Silk City Diners, a division of the Patterson Vehicle Company, in Paterson, New Jersey. The restaurant building itself sits on a concrete block foundation, and is 40 feet (12 m) long and 14 feet (4 m) wide. Its exterior is a white, porcelain enamel with a fluted, stainless steel band "sandwiched by two narrow strips of blue". A monitor roof runs the length of the diner, a feature that was common in diner design until the 1950s. The building's two entrances, one at the end of the diner and another at its middle, are both fronted by stainless steel doors, each with a large, oval window. The interior of the diner is laid out in a counter–aisle–booth seating configuration with 16 seats at the counter, 5 booths, and a free-standing table. The vaulted ceiling is made up of curved, porcelain panels. History The Lawrence Park Dinor was manufactured at the Silk City factory and transported to its present location in 1948. Its first owners, Harold Curtis and his wife, purchased the diner to serve the community of Lawrence Park. As the majority of people in Lawrence Park were employed by General Electric 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) from the diner, a fast and inexpensive eating establishment was in demand. The unusual spelling of "dinor" is found only in northwestern Pennsylvania and its origin is speculated to have been a typographical error that was never corrected, or a variant derived from the German language. In 1930, three out of five diners in Erie used the spelling; by 1958 it was used by over 90 percent of diners in Erie. The diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 2004, by George Gourlias with the help of Lawrence Park Historical Society Member Virginia Anderson. The current owner took over in March 2022. The Lawrence Park Dinor is known for its famous "Greek sauce"—a (brought to the menu by former owner George Gourlias 1991-2010) spiced, ground beef mixture popular in Erie as a topping on French fries (known elsewhere as "Texas hot sauce" for its use as a chili dog topping).

Patterson State Park

Patterson State Park is a Pennsylvania state park on 19 acres (7.7 ha) that are located in Summit Township, Potter County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The park is on Pennsylvania Route 44 near Sweden Valley. The park has two rustic roadside pavilions. History The Pennsylvania Department of Forestry created "Patterson Picnic Area" from 1922 to 1925. During the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps built two pavilions in the current picnic area from 1935 to 1941. Patterson State Park officially became part of the Pennsylvania State Parks system in 1950. The name is thought to come from people who lived in the area named Patterson, but there are no records of anyone named Patterson owning the land that is now part of the state park. In 2000 the park became part of the Hills Creek State Park complex, an administrative grouping of eight state parks in Potter and Tioga counties. Recreation Patterson State Park is surrounded by Susquehannock State Forest. Visitors use the park as a trail head for hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, and snowmobiling. The Susquehannock Trail System, an 85-mile (137 km) loop almost entirely on state forest land, passes through the park. A mountain bike trail begins at Denton Hill State Park and runs 15 miles (24 km) as it passes through Patterson State Park on its way to Cherry Springs State Park. Overnight camping in tents is permitted at the park.

Paul J. Gutman Library

The Paul J. Gutman Library is the main library of Thomas Jefferson University, which is located in the East Falls section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Gutman Library opened in 1992 to replace the university's Pastore Library (now the Architecture & Design School). The architectural firm of Shepley Bulfinch was responsible for the building's design. In 1993, the library won the Louis I. Kahn Award for best-designed academic building from American School and University, a national publication for educational institutions. Historical background Construction of the library, which opened October 10, 1992, was made possible by a donation by Alvin C. and Mary Bert Gutman in memory of their son, Paul J. Gutman. Paul J. Gutman died on September 25, 1990, in an airplane accident while on a business trip for Pressman-Gutman, the Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, textile converting company founded by his great-grandfather, Harry J. Pressman. Paul's grandfather, Jacob C. Gutman (1890-1981), president of Pressman-Gutman, and four of his Gutman granduncles graduated from the university at the turn of the 20th century when it was Philadelphia Textile School. His granduncles were members of E. Gutman and Sons, the textile firm founded in 1889 by their father, J. Barnett Gutman (1861-1934). Karen Albert is currently director of the Paul J. Gutman Library at Thomas Jefferson University. She succeeded the library's inaugural director, Stephen J. Bell, in 2007. Resources The 54,000-square-foot Paul J. Gutman Library seats 400 people. Its design combines a traditional book-and-journal collection with an extensive electronic environment. Through its website, the library delivers a wide range of information resources to members of the University community on and off campus. Electronic resources include: Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals, Art Index, EBSCO, S&P’s NetLibrary, Hoover's, LexisNexis, ProQuest, MD Consult, JSTOR Stylesight, and many more. The availability of electronic resources, including 42,000 online journals, supplements a book collection of more than 150,000 volumes, with special emphasis in the areas of art and architecture, design, textiles, sciences, and business. The Gutman Library Special Collections Department maintains one of the largest collections in the United States devoted to the history of the textile industry. A contemporary reading collection of best-sellers and popular materials is also available. Other print publications include 450 current journal, trade, and newspapers subscriptions. Materials not available in the Gutman Library collection can be obtained through an interlibrary loan network linking more than 14,000 libraries around the world, or through EZBorrow, a self-service loan system for books from over 50 of Pennsylvania's largest academic libraries.

Peace Church

The Peace Church, also known as Die Frieden Kirche, is an historic Reformed and Lutheran church in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. History and architectural features Built in 1798 by a Reformed congregation, this historic structure is a 2+1⁄2-story, limestone building in the Georgian style and features a five-bay front and three-bay sides. The church was the first gathering place for the community to be incorporated as Hampden Township in 1845. In 1806, the local Lutheran congregation was invited to share the building "in peace" for their services. The church's builder, Martin Rupp, also constructed the nearby Johannes Eberly House. The interior of the church is notable for its wine-glass pulpit, a balcony that wraps around three sides, and a Conrad Doll organ installed in 1807. One of the notable pastors of Peace Church was John Winebrenner, the founder of the “Church of God” denomination. Winebrenner was a graduate of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, with the class of 1818 and was ordained in the German Reformed Church in September 1820. His enthusiastic style, which included favor of emotional revivals, soon caused dissension within his congregation. In March 1823 he was locked out of Peace Church (called “the Stone Church in Shiremanstown”) by his congregation. He left the Reformed church and founded his own conservative evangelical denomination. Initially, Winebrenner, along with those that split off from Peace Church, met for outdoor services on a nearby hill in the area known as White Hall, leading to the area being referred to as "Camp Hill." Dr. John D. Bowman, the first postmaster of that village, officially gave it the name Camp Hill in 1869 and it was incorporated as a borough in 1885. Peace Church also played a part in the American Civil War. A brigade under the command of Brig. Gen. Albert G. Jenkins raided nearby Mechanicsburg and set up four artillery pieces on the site of Peace Church, it being situated on a rise with a view of the surrounding area. They used this position to bombard Union forces during the Battle of Sporting Hill in June 1863. This was the northernmost engagement of the Civil War and a part of the Gettysburg Campaign.

Penn Park

Penn Park is a 24-acre (97,000 m2) park on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park is at South 31st Street and Walnut Street, and features two athletic fields, a multipurpose stadium with 470 seats, a tennis center, a seasonal air structure, and picnic areas. In Fall 2014, Penn partnered with the Philadelphia Orchard Project to establish the Penn Park Orchard in the southeastern corner of the park.
