Isaac Bell House

The Isaac Bell House (also known as Edna Villa) is a historic house at 70 Perry Street, at the corner with Bellevue Avenue, in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Designed by McKim, Mead, and White, it is one of the country's outstanding examples of Shingle Style architecture. The house was built during the Gilded Age, when Newport was the summer resort of choice for some of America's wealthiest families, and is designated as a National Historic Landmark. History Isaac Bell Jr. was a successful cotton broker and investor, and the brother-in-law of James Gordon Bennett Jr., publisher of the New York Herald. Bell hired the New York architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White (Charles Follen McKim, William R. Mead, and Stanford White) to design his summer cottage. Known in Newport for designing Newport Casino, and later in Boston for designing Boston Central Library, they also designed Pennsylvania Station in New York City. Construction took place between 1881 and 1883. Shingle Style was pioneered by Henry Hobson Richardson in his design for the William Watts Sherman House, also in Newport. This style of Victorian architecture, featuring the extensive use of wooden shingles on the exterior, acquired some popularity in the late nineteenth century. The Isaac Bell House exemplifies this through its unpainted wood shingles, simple window and trim detail, and multiple porches. It combines elements of the English Arts and Crafts movement philosophy, colonial American detailing, and features a Japanese-inspired open floor plan and bamboo-style porch columns. Interior features include inglenook fireplaces, natural rattan wall coverings, wall paneling and narrow-band wooden floors. During its life, the house has variously been divided into apartments and served as a nursing home. With the help of Carol Chiles Ballard, the house was bought in 1994 by the Preservation Society of Newport County, which won awards for its restoration, and now operates it as a museum. The Isaac Bell House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.

Isaac Bell House

Isaac Bell House est une maison historique et un National Historic Landmark situé au 70 Perry Street à Newport, à Rhode Island. Aussi connu sous le nom d'Edna Villa, c'est l'un des exemples exceptionnels de l'architecture Shingle aux États-Unis. Il a été conçu par McKim, Mead & White, et a été construit pendant l'âge d'or, lorsque Newport était la station balnéaire de choix pour les familles les plus riches d'Amérique. Histoire Isaac Bell Junior était un courtier et investisseur en coton et le beau-frère de James Gordon Bennett Junior, éditeur du New York Herald. Bell a embauché la firme d'architecture new-yorkaise de McKim, Mead et White pour concevoir son chalet d'été. Connu dans Newport pour la conception du Newport Casino (un complexe athlétique et un centre de divertissement), et plus tard à Boston pour la conception de la Bibliothèque publique de Boston, ils ont également conçu la célèbre Pennsylvania Station à New York. La construction a eu lieu entre 1881 et 1883. L'histoire du bâtiment consiste à se diviser en appartements et à servir de foyer de soins infirmiers. Avec l'aide de Carol Chiles Ballard, la maison a été achetée en 1994 par la Preservation Society of Newport County, qui a remporté des prix pour sa restauration et qui l'exploite maintenant comme musée. La Maison d'Isaac Bell a été déclarée un monument historique national en 1997. Conception Le style Shingle a été mis au point par Henry Hobson Richardson dans son design pour la maison de William Watt Sherman, également située à Newport. Ce style d'architecture victorienne a été populaire à la fin du XIXe siècle et a été nommé après l'utilisation intensive de bardeaux de bois extérieur. La demeure d'Isaac Bell illustre le style à travers ses bardeaux de bois non peints, ses simples détails de fenêtres et garnitures et de multiples porches. Il combine des éléments de la philosophie du mouvement des arts anglais et artisanaux, des détails américains coloniaux et comporte un plan d'étage ouvert à inspiration japonaise et des colonnes de porche à bambous. Les intérieurs incluent des cheminées d'Angleterre, les revêtements muraux en rotin naturels, les panneaux muraux et les planchers en bois à large bande.

Narragansett (volk)

Narragansett is een inheemse stam uit de Verenigde Staten. Het gaat hier om een verbasterde benaming; het is een Engelse verbastering van de naam waarmee dit volk zichzelf oorspronkelijk aanduidt, dat is Nahahiganseck of Nanigansek ; dit betekent "Volk van het kleine, smalle landpunt". De Nederlanders gebruikten de verkorte naam Nahican. Zij komen uit het gebied Narragansett Bay en het westen van Rhode Island. Er waren waarschijnlijk meer dan 10.000 Narragansett in 1610, maar tegen 1674 was dit aantal gedaald naar circa 5.000. De Narragansett verloren bijna 20% van hun bevolking tijdens een veldslag met de Engelsen in december 1675. Door afslachting en hongersnood kwamen al snel de meeste anderen om. Tegen 1682 waren er nog maar 500 Narragansett over. Zij mochten zich met de Oostelijke Niantic vestigen in een reservaat bij Charlestown, Rhode Island. Ondanks behoorlijke interraciale vermenging zijn de Narragansett er toch in geslaagd hun reservaat, organisatie en populatie te behouden. Zij zijn federaal erkend sinds 1983, de populatie bestaat op dit moment uit 2400 leden die geregistreerd staan en zij leven allen op Rhode Island als de Nahahiganseck Sovereign Nation. Ze spreken een Algonkin-dialect net als de Pequot, Mohegan, Niantic en Montauk indianenstammen. Sub-stammen Confederatie van Narragansett: Aquidneck, Chaubatick, Maushapoque, Mittaubscut, Narragansett, Pawchauquet, Pawtuxetm Ponaganset, en Shanomet stammen. Bondgenoten of onderworpen volken Coweset (Nipmuc), Oostelijke Niantic, Mannisean (Block Island Indians), en na 1653, de Metoac van Long Island. Cultuur Oost bosland. Goed georganiseerd met een centrale overheid, werden de Narragansett geregeerd door 8 erfelijke Sachems die ieder verantwoordelijkheid aflegden aan het grote Sachem, die normaal gesproken in het grootste dorp leefde. Hun dorpen met medium grote longhouses waren meestal zwaar versterkt en hun locatie was op een van de eilanden van Narragansett Bay. Zij verbouwden intensief maïs, bonen en squash op grote velden. Zij konden goed overweg met de kano en hun dieet werd uitgebreid met de vangsten uit de jacht, de visvangst en ander voedsel uit de zee.
Narragansett (indianstam)

Narragansetterna var den mäktigaste stammen i hela New England under 1600-talets första hälft. De talade ett algonkinspråk och levde i Connecticut och Rhode Island. De deltog i Kung Philips krig 1675-76 och blev praktiskt taget utplånade. Omkring 1900 fanns det 2 500 narragansetter kvar och deras ättlingar bor numera i ett reservat i Rhode Island. Bilder
Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge

Die Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge ist eine 1992 fertiggestellte Straßenbrücke in Rhode Island in den Vereinigten Staaten. Sie führt die Rhode Island State Route 138 (RI 138) von North Kingstown über die West-Passage der Narragansett Bay nach Conanicut Island. Geschichte Die Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge ersetzte die 1940 eröffnete Jamestown Bridge. Bereits Mitte der 1950er-Jahre erwog man, die weniger als 20 Jahre alte Brücke durch eine zweite Brücke zu ergänzen oder durch einen Neubau zu ersetzen. Die RI 138 wurde als Schnellstraße geplant, die den Interstate 95 mit Newport verbinden sollte. In den 1970er-Jahren plante Rhode Island den Bau eines Interstate 895, der die Narragansett Bay überquert hätte, das Projekt war aber kontrovers und wurde deshalb wieder aus der Planung gestrichen. Die freigewordenen Gelder wurden umgehend für die Planung der Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge eingesetzt. Der Vertrag für den Bau der neuen Brücke wurde im Juni 1985 unterzeichnet, es stellte sich aber schnell heraus, dass die Art und Tiefe der ursprünglich vorgesehenen Pfahlfundierung für das Bauwerk ungeeignet war, sodass, nachdem ein Viertel der Brücke fertiggestellt war, der Vertrag im März 1988 aufgehoben wurde. Die Bauarbeiten ruhten fast anderthalb Jahre, bis ein neues Konsortium den Bau der Brücke zu einem höheren Preis fortsetzte. Die Brücke konnte am 8. Oktober 1992 dem Verkehr übergeben werden. Bauwerk Die 7350 Fuß (ca. 2240 m) lange Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge ist nach der Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge die zweitlängste Brücke im Bundesstaat Rhode Island. Sie wurde ungefähr 30 m nördlich der Jamestown Bridge gebaut. Das Bauwerk trägt vier Fahrspuren der Schnellstraße RI 138. Es besteht aus 52 Brückenfeldern, davon gehören 23 zur Hauptbrücke und 29 zu den Vorbrücken, die als Stahlbeton-Plattenbrücken gebaut wurden. Von der Hauptbrücke wurden 15 Stahlbeton-Brückenträger in Davisville vorgefertigt und auf dem Seeweg zur Baustelle gebracht, die übrigen Träger wurden vor Ort hergestellt. Die Brücke über den Hauptschifffahrtskanal hat eine Stützweite von 636 Fuß (ca. 194 m) und bietet in der Mitte des Kanals eine 135 Fuß (ca. 41 m) hohe Durchfahrt.

Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge

The Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge is a concrete box girder highway bridge which spans the West Passage of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. It is part of Rhode Island Route 138 and is on the route to Newport, Rhode Island for traffic heading northbound from Interstate 95. Construction and design The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. Construction began in 1985 and was completed in 1992, originally consisting of two undivided lanes and built alongside the Jamestown Bridge which had served the same route since 1940. The older bridge was demolished in April 2006. It is a post-tensioned, double-cell concrete box girder bridge with four travel lanes separated by a concrete Jersey barrier. It links North Kingstown, Rhode Island with the island town of Jamestown, Rhode Island, with a total length of 7,350 feet (2,240 m). It has safety walkways on both sides, which are not accessible to pedestrians. The bridge was listed as structurally deficient in 2007, despite being only 15 years old at the time, due to small cracks found in some of the box girder segments. The cracks were repaired in 2008.

Jenks Park & Cogswell Tower

Jenks Park is a city park of Central Falls, Rhode Island. The city's only large park, its development began in 1890 on land donated by Alvin Jenks. Its centerpiece is Cogswell Tower, designed by Pawtucket architect Albert H. Humes and built in 1904. A gift of Caroline Cogswell, the tower stands 18 feet (5.5 m) square and 70 feet (21 m) tall. It has been the symbol of the City of Central Falls since its construction. The tower is supported by a brick barrel vault resting atop the historic Dexter's Ledge, from which, during King Philip's War in 1676, Native American scouts saw the approach of Captain Michael Pierce, and a company of Plymouth soldiers from the heights. Pierce's forces were ambushed and nearly annihilated by the Native Americans in "Pierce's Fight" at a site along the Blackstone River on March 26, 1676, where Pierce Park now stands. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Providence County, Rhode Island References

Casa John Brown (Providence)

La Casa John Brown es la primera mansión construida en la ciudad de Providence, la capital del estado de Rhode Island (Estados Unidos). Está ubicada en 52 Power Street en College Hill, donde limita con el campus de la Universidad de Brown. La casa lleva el nombre del propietario original, uno de los primeros benefactores de la universidad, comerciante, estadista y traficante de esclavos John Brown. Fue declarado Monumento Histórico Nacional en 1968.​ John Quincy Adams la consideró "la mansión privada más magnífica y elegante que he visto en este continente".​ Historia El edificio fue diseñado por el hermano de John Brown, Joseph, un arquitecto aficionado que también había diseñado la Primera Iglesia Bautista en América. Fue construido entre 1786 y 1788. Los invitados notables durante este tiempo incluyen a George Washington, quien se informa que visitó para tomar el té. La casa fue vendida en 1901 al industrial y banquero de Rhode Island Marsden J. Perry. Perry renovó la extensión para agregar baños modernos y sistemas de calefacción central. John Nicholas Brown lo compró en 1936. En 1942, la familia Brown donó la casa a la Sociedad Histórica de Rhode Island para su preservación,​ y la sociedad la restauró a su decoración colonial original. El museo ahora contiene muchos muebles originales proporcionados por el patrimonio de la familia Brown. Descripción La casa es una estructura de ladrillo de tres pisos con un techo a cuatro aguas rematado por una sección plana. Tanto la línea principal del techo como la sección plana están rodeadas por una balaustrada baja. Cuatro chimeneas parten de los costados de la casa, y su entrada principal se encuentra en un voladizo central rematado por un pequeño frontón triangular. La entrada está protegida por un pórtico sostenido por columnas dóricas de arenisca, y hay una ventana palladiana sobre el pórtico.

La boiserie ricamente detallada es evidente en todas las salas públicas. Once de las doce repisas de chimenea del edificio son originales.​ Galería Véase también Anexo:Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en Providence Referencias Enlaces externos Rhode Island Historical Society - John Brown House Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) No. RI-75, "John Brown House, 52 Power Street, Providence, Providence County, RI", 16 fotos, 2 datos-páginas, 1 página pie de foto, material suplementario
John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library

The John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library, nicknamed "the Rock", is the primary teaching and research library for the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It is one of five individual libraries which make up the Brown University Library. The library was named after John D. Rockefeller Jr., who graduated in the class of 1897. The building was constructed between 1962 and 1964 and designed by Danforth Toan. The building drew attention as the first building in the area constructed in the Brutalist style, and alongside the Sciences Library, Graduate Center, and List Art Building, is one of the campus's four significant examples of Brutalist architecture. The library houses Brown University's East Asian Collection, which started in 1961 after Charles Sidney Gardner donated about 30,000 volumes, most of them Chinese. In 1965, a Federal grant led to the formal establishment of the East Asia Language and Area Center, which has since become the East Asian Studies Department. The University began to acquire Japanese works after a grant was received in 1980. The collection itself now includes a Korean collection. The most recent renovations of the "Rock" include the creation of the David and Laura Finn Reading Room (2009), the Patrick Ma Digital Scholarship Lab (2012) and the main floor reading room (2014). The John D. Rockefeller Jr. library should not be confused with the Cambridge University Library at the University of Cambridge which was built with funds from John D. Rockefeller and is colloquially referred to as the Rockefeller Library.

John Tillinghast House

The John Tillinghast House is an historic colonial house in Newport, Rhode Island. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, built in 1760 for John Tillinghast, a wealthy merchant. A high-quality example of academic Georgian architecture, the house was a (often temporary) home for a number of notable people during and after the American Revolutionary War. It was probably occupied by the Marquis de Chastellux, an engineer in the French Army while he was stationed in Newport, and by General Nathanael Greene, who hosted George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette on a visit to Newport. From 1821 to 1824 it was home to William C. Gibbs while he was Governor of Rhode Island. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1973.
