Mount Pleasant (mansion)

Mount Pleasant is a historic mansion in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, atop cliffs overlooking the Schuylkill River. It was built about 1761–62 in what was then the countryside outside the city by John Macpherson and his wife Margaret. Macpherson was a privateer, or perhaps a pirate, who had had "an arm twice shot off" according to John Adams. He named the house "Clunie" after the ancient seat of his family's clan in Scotland. The builder-architect was Thomas Nevell (1721—1797), an apprentice of Edmund Woolley, who built Independence Hall. The house is administered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Fairmount Park. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. Architecture and history The Georgian mansion has an entrance topped by a pediment supported by Doric columns. A balustrade crowns the roof which also has prominent dormers and two large chimneys. Two small symmetrical pavilions flank the main house, an office and a summer kitchen. All are adorned with brick quoins. John Adams visited the mansion in 1775 and called it "the most elegant seat in Pennsylvania." The interiors contain the original paneling with ornamental carving, and still show the "elegance of the lifestyle of colonial elites," as well as souvenirs of Macpherson's life and times and period furniture by craftsmen such as Martin Jugiez. The furniture is from the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Mount Pleasant was also home to Benedict Arnold and his wife Peggy Shippen. Arnold purchased the mansion on March 22, 1779, for his new bride, and specifically made the property over to her, although, due to the high price of the estate and Benedict's deteriorating funds, he had to sell it, thus the couple never got a chance to move in. In 1792, the mansion was purchased by Jonathan Williams, first superintendent of West Point and grandnephew of Benjamin Franklin. He lived there intermittently until his death in 1815, and his children sold the estate to Fairmount Park. The structure was restored in 1926 by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Beaver Stadium

Das Beaver Stadium ist ein College-Football-Stadion auf dem Campus der Pennsylvania State University in State College im US-Bundesstaat Pennsylvania. Es wird hauptsächlich für College Football genutzt. Es dient als Heimspielstätte des College-Football-Teams der Penn State Nittany Lions, das in der National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) organisiert ist. Benannt wurde die Spielstätte nach James A. Beaver, einem ehemaligen Gouverneur von Pennsylvania (1887–1891) und Präsidenten des Überwachungsausschusses der Universität. Mit einer Kapazität von offiziell 106.572 Zuschauern ist es nach dem Michigan Stadium (107.601) das zweitgrößte Stadion der USA. Es zählt ebenso zu den größten Sportstadien weltweit. Der bisherige Zuschauerrekord wurde am 21. Oktober 2017 erzielt mit 110.823 Zuschauern beim 42:13-Sieg gegen die Michigan Wolverines. Geschichte Vorgänger Bis 1893 spielten die Teams der Penn State auf dem Rasen vor dem Old Main, dem Hauptvorlesungsgebäude zu jener Zeit. Beaver Field, eine 500-Plätze-Einrichtung, war die erste beständige Heimstätte des Football-Teams. 1909 wurde das New Beaver Field nordöstlich der Recreational Hall eröffnet. Es diente als Penn-State-Stadion bis 1960, als das ganze 30.000-Plätze-Stadion demontiert wurde und am östlichen Ende des Campus wieder aufgebaut, auf 46.284 Plätze erweitert und neu als Beaver Stadium bezeichnet wurde. Erweiterungen Erweiterungen in den Jahren 1969, 1974 und 1976 erhöhten die Zuschauerkapazität auf 60.203. 1978 wurden weitere 16.000 Sitzplätze hinzugefügt, als das Stadion in Abschnitte eingeteilt wurde und mit hydraulischen Aufzügen erhöht wurde, so dass man weitere Sitzplätze entlang des Innenrings des Stadions hinzufügen konnte, wo zuvor die Leichtathletikbahn lag. 1980 stieg die maximale Kapazität auf 83.770. Für die Football-Saison 1991 wurde zusätzlich noch ein Oberdeck hinter der nördlichen Endzone gebaut, um die Kapazität auf 90.000 zu erhöhen. Mit der letzten Erweiterung im Jahr 2001 wurde die Stadion-Kapazität auf insgesamt 107.282 erhöht. Ein Oberdeck wurde auch beim südlichen Ende des Stadions hinzugefügt, und blockierte nun die Sicht auf den benachbarten Mount Nittany, was für einige Fans sentimentalen Wert hatte.

Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility

Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility is a pumped-storage hydroelectric generation facility in Drumore Township, Pennsylvania, United States. Constructed by the Philadelphia Electric Company and completed in 1968, Muddy Run was the largest pumped-storage facility in the world. Muddy Run has a capacity of 1,071 megawatts. The facility is operated by the Susquehanna Electric Company, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy. The facility's upper reservoir is the 1,000-acre (400 ha) Muddy Run Reservoir, with a full pool elevation of over 500 feet (150 m), and a usable storage capacity of 1,466 million cubic feet (33,700 acre⋅ft; 41.5 hm3). Muddy Run Reservoir was created by damming Muddy Run with a 4,800 feet (1,500 m) long, 250 feet (76 m) high, rock-filled dam. The lower reservoir is the Conowingo Reservoir, created in the Susquehanna River by the Conowingo Dam, with a normal pool elevation of 109 feet (33 m). The power house uses excess grid capacity during off peak hours to pump water from the Conowingo Reservoir into the upper reservoir through four 25-foot (7.6 m) diameter, 343-foot (105 m) vertical shafts. During peak power demand periods, the water is allowed to flow back from the lake through the shafts to the eight turbines causing the pumps to act as generators. The Muddy Run electrical machinery was designed by the noted engineer Eugene C. Whitney of Westinghouse Electric Company, who designed the machinery for the Grand Coulee Dam #3 powerhouse. Whitney "was present when the machines were first to be started. The operator was reluctant to take the first step. Gene said, 'Call your boss.' The boss said, 'If Gene says to start the machines, start them.' So they did, and water rose from the lower Susquehanna River to the upper reservoir, 400 feet above". The upper reservoir extends into Martic Township. The area around the upper reservoir is operated as a park, complementing the nearby Susquehannock State Park. Susquehannock State Park has an overlook trail with a good view of the Muddy Run facility. References

National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa

The National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa (Polish: Narodowe Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej), also known as the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Bright Mountain (Polish: Narodowe Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Jasnogórskiej), and also commonly known as the American Czestochowa (Polish: Amerykańska Częstochowa), and Czestochowa, is a Polish-American Catholic shrine in New Britain Township, Pennsylvania, near Doylestown, founded in 1953. It houses a reproduction of the Black Madonna icon of Częstochowa, Poland. The heart of Poland's third prime minister, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, is also preserved there. History In 1953 a Polish Pauline monk, Father Michael M. Zembrzuski, purchased a tract of land near Doylestown with the intention of building a chapel dedicated to the Black Madonna of Częstochowa at Jasna Góra Monastery, Poland's most important religious icon, to reconnect Polish-Americans with their Polish Catholic roots. Archbishop John Francis O'Hara of Philadelphia granted permission for the erection of a shrine, and a barn was converted into the first chapel; it was moved to a new site and dedicated on June 26, 1955. The chapel was reorganized as a shrine to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the Polish nation in 1966. It was dedicated on October 16, 1966, by Archbishop (later Cardinal) John Krol, with President Lyndon B. Johnson and members of his family as honored guests. The centerpiece of the new shrine was a church building designed by the Polish-American architect George Szeptycki housing the replica of the Black Madonna painting. Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II, visited twice: first in 1969 and then in 1976, while attending the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia. In subsequent years other facilities have been added to the site, including a Polish-American cemetery (including monuments to Poland's third prime minister Ignacy Paderewski, the Polish-Lithuanian hussars, and the victims of the Katyń massacres), a monastery, and a visitor center. The cemetery also includes the graves of members of the Polish Veterans of World War II. The lower church interior was remodeled to resemble the interior of the Jasna Góra shrine in Poland housing the original painting. There is also an outdoor pathway with the Stations of the Cross. Activities One of the largest celebrations is the annual feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa on August 26, followed by an annual Polish Festival held every Labor Day weekend. Since 1988, there has been an annual pilgrimage from the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Great Meadows, New Jersey. Thousands take part in an outdoor Rosary candlelight procession on October 7, Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. The shrine is under the direction of the Pauline Fathers and Brothers who also administer the Shrine in Poland.
