The Towers (Narragansett, Rhode Island)

The Towers is a historic structure located at 35 Ocean Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island. It is the only remnant of the Narragansett Pier Casino built in the 1880s. On November 25, 1969, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. History The Narragansett Pier Casino was the center of social life in Narragansett during the late 19th century. Not a casino in the modern gambling definition, casinos of this era were the central gathering place for social and private communities for games, dancing, parties, and fellowship. The Narragansett Pier Casino rivaled the Newport Casino’s popularity as a resort for the social elite until it burned to the ground in 1900. Built between 1883 and 1886, the Narragansett Pier Casino was a fine example of Victorian Shingle style architecture (a variation of Queen Anne style architecture in the United States), designed by McKim, Mead, and White. The Casino offered a variety of sports, including boating, tennis, billiards, bowling, cards, and shooting, restaurants, stores, reading rooms, a theater, a bandstand, a ballroom, and a beautiful beach. The Narragansett Pier Casino thrived during the Gilded Age until it burned down during the Great Fire of September 12, 1900. That day, a fire broke out in the neighboring Rockingham Hotel. The flames spread quickly to the Casino, leaving only the granite walls of The Towers standing. More recently Hurricane Sandy has uncovered the foundation and part of the old boardwalk belonging to the old casino that had been buried by sand. Today, the Narragansett Towers are the only remaining part of the original Narragansett Pier Casino, having survived a number of fires, nor'easters, and hurricanes. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Narragansett. The Towers currently hosts weddings, dances, dinners, plays, and fashion shows. Its location adjacent to Narragansett town beach makes it an ideal venue for social events. In popular culture Many events take place on the land adjacent to The Towers, as well as the land next door, where the Casino once stood, that now includes a lawn and a courtyard with a fountain. Events such as The Blessing of the Fleet road race and festival, local art festivals, the Lighting of the town Christmas tree, and many beautiful weddings. The Casino at the Narragansett Towers is also the location of the first reports of the now-popular seafood dish "clams casino." The Towers can be seen in the background of the Rhode Island–based cartoon Family Guy, episode "Peter's Got Woods," when Peter rides by on a tandem bicycle with James Woods, both engaged in song.

Time Squared Academy

Times2 STEM Academy is a charter school in Providence, Rhode Island that specializes in teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Current The elementary, middle school and high school (grades K–12) was established in 1998. It uses standards-based instruction and computer technology to teach science and mathematics. Algebra I and general science are taught to eighth grade students. High school students are introduced to project-based learning – for example at the laboratory sciences at Providence College, a lead higher education partner. Seniors undertake internships in engineering, math, science, technology, and enrichment courses at local colleges and universities. The current elementary principal is Glenn Piros who joined in August 2013. He replaced Tom Lombardi who had replaced Antonio DiManna, who was principal until June 2011. The current executive director is Dr. Rudy Moseley, who joined in October 2015. Educational program Students are taught using practices such as student-generated projects, enrichment initiatives, multiple assessments, and university and business partnerships. Times2 STEM Academy uses the New Standards for curriculum development and implementation in its core subject areas. By using literacy and writing across all curricular areas, teachers build a foundation of learning that supports the school's program. To assist the middle and upper school in identifying those competencies and qualities that are crucial for students to realize the school's mission, the administration and Board of Directors approved a K–5 Children's Academy. It is the feeder school to the middle and upper school. The curriculum used in grades K–3 (and eventually K–5) and the middle and upper school emphasizes standards-based skills. Math Investigations teach students to integrate literacy skills with mathematics competencies. Middle and high school teachers use the University of Chicago Math Project to develop modules that assist students in grades 6–12 to move through a mathematics sequence that culminates with AP Calculus in the 12th grade. The science curriculum follows the standards established by the National Science Foundation. Using research to direct its decision, the Academy's Science Committee inverted its curriculum offerings where conceptual physics is offered to 9th graders, chemistry to sophomores, biology to juniors, and AP Physics to seniors. Enrichment program Grades 9–12 are given formally scheduled after-school enrichment courses and activities, and Saturday Academics. These include Web Club, Robotics, Tech Club, ACE Program, Aviation Club, Chess Club, Mock Trial, Yearbook, Studio Productions, Science Olympiad, and computer technology mini-courses such as Flowcharting, HTML, and Sketch Pad. Also, through work with scientists and experts in their field, students get a better understanding of what skills are needed and invested in certain careers. Most after-school activities take place on Tuesday to Thursday afternoons. On Fridays, field trips, workshops, movies, or social events take place. References

Turk's Head Building

The Turk's Head Building is a 16-story office high-rise in Providence, Rhode Island completed in 1913. The Turk's Head Building surpassed the 1901 Union Trust Company Building to become the tallest building in downtown. The building retained that title until 1922, when the Providence Biltmore was completed. It is one of the oldest skyscrapers in Providence, standing 215 ft (66 m) tall. It is currently the 11th-tallest building in Providence. History The building is designed in a V-shape, and architectural historian William McKenzie Woodward asserts that the architects "clearly had in mind Daniel Burnham's Flatiron Building" in New York City. The skyscraper's peculiar name dates back to the early nineteenth century, when shopkeeper Jacob Whitman mounted a ship's figurehead above his store. The figurehead came from the ship Sultan and depicted the head of an Ottoman warrior. Whitman's store was called "At the sign of the Turk's Head". The figurehead was lost in a storm, but today a stone replica is found on the building's third floor façade. Brothers Evan and Lloyd Granoff bought the building in 1997 for $4.2 million and spent $3 million renovating it; they sold it in 2008 for $17.55 million to FB Capital Partners. The Granoffs had not been actively trying to sell the building; their attorney advisor said that they accepted the deal because the sum offered was well over its worth. Tenants The building is known for the longevity of its tenants. It is home to at least two tenants which have operated in the building for over a century. The investment firm Brown, Lisle/Cummings Inc., and the law firm Gardner, Sawyer, Gates & Sloan both opened their doors in 1913 and kept offices in the building for a century.

Turk's Head Building

El Turk's Head Building es un edificio de oficinas de 16 pisos en la ciudad de Providence, la capital del estado de Rhode Island (Estados Unidos). Terminado en 1913, el edificio es uno de los rascacielos más antiguos de Providence. Con una altura de 65,53 metros, actualmente es el 12° edificio más alto de la ciudad.​ Cuando se completó en 1913, superó al Union Trust Company Building (1901) como el edificio más alto del Downtown (el Capitolio del Estado de Rhode Island es más alto y fue terminado en 1904). Conservó ese título hasta 1922, cuando se completó el Providence Biltmore.​ Historia El edificio de estilo noclásico está diseñado en forma de V, y el historiador arquitectónico William McKenzie Woodward afirma que los arquitectos del edificio "claramente tenían en mente el edificio Flatiron de Daniel Burnham" (en Nueva York).​ El peculiar nombre del rascacielos se remonta a principios del siglo XIX, cuando el comerciante Jacob Whitman montó el mascarón de proa de un barco sobre su tienda. El mascarón de proa, que procedía del barco Sultan, representaba la cabeza de un guerrero otomano.​ El mascarón se perdió en una tormenta, y hoy se encuentra una réplica de piedra en la fachada del tercer piso del edificio.​ Tras comprarlo en 1997 por 4,2 millones de dólares y gastar 3 millones en renovarlo, en 2008 los hermanos Evan y Lloyd Granoff se lo vendieron a FB Capital Partners por 17,55 millones.​ Galería Véase también Anexo:Edificios más altos de Rhode Island Primeros rascacielos Referencias Enlaces externos «Turk's Head Building» (en inglés).

Union Church (Portsmouth, Rhode Island)

The Union Church is an historic church and local history museum owned by the Portsmouth Historical Society at 870 East Main Road at Union Street in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. One exhibit room is dedicated to Julia Ward Howe and includes a collection of furniture from her summer home in Portsmouth and a display about her life. History The Union Church building was constructed in 1865 at the cost of $7,000 for the congregation of the Portsmouth Christian Union Church, which was founded in 1810 and originally met in homes and then a smaller meeting house. The congregation was active until after World War I. The last worship service was held in 1937 and then it was declared a defunct organization by the Superior Court in 1940 with the fourteen remaining members voting to donate the property to the Portsmouth Historical Society. It now houses the majority of the historical society's collections. The former church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Adjacent to the church is a 1725 schoolhouse building. The Society opens the museum buildings weekly.

Providence Union Station

Die Providence Union Station beschreibt zwei unterschiedliche aufgelöste Bahnhöfe in Providence, Rhode Island in den USA. Die ursprüngliche Union Station war der erste Bahnhof in Providence, eröffnet im Jahr 1847, um die Bedürfnisse der erblühenden Stadt zu befriedigen. Er wurde als „ein brillantes Beispiel der romanischen Architektur“ in seiner Zeit bezeichnet und war das längste Gebäude in Amerika. Da die Stadt weiter wuchs, wuchs auch die Notwendigkeit den Bahnhof zu erweitern. Er war unterdimensioniert. Im Februar 1896 erlitt der Bahnhof eine Brandkatastrophe. Eine viel größere Union Station wurde 1898 eröffnet, erbaut aus charakteristischen gelben Ziegeln, eine Anlage, die das Providence Journal als eine „neue Ära der Geschichte dieser Stadt“ bewertete. Der Bahnhof wurde von Stein, Carpenter und Willson errichtet, das auch schon andere Gebäude in Providence geplant hatte. In den 1980er Jahren schrumpfte der Schienenverkehr um 75 Prozent. Stadtplaner sahen die Möglichkeit, die „Chinesische Mauer“ der Bahngleise, die im zentralen Geschäftsviertel, im Zentrum Providences, bestand zu demontieren. MBTA und Amtrak fahren seitdem (1986) einen neuen und kleineren Bahnhof etwa 800 Meter nördlich der historischen Anlage an. Die Union Station fing im April 1987 Feuer und es entstand ein Schaden von $ 11 Mio. Teile des ursprünglichen Empfangsgebäudes wurden renoviert und es enthält heute Büros und Restaurants, darunter die Union Station Brewery.

Union Trust Company Building (Providence)

El Union Trust Company Building es un edificio histórico en 170 Westminster Street y 62 Dorrance Street en el centro de la ciudad Providence, la capital del estado de Rhode Island (Estados Unidos). Historia Es una estructura de estructura de acero de doce pisos, revestida de ladrillo y piedra. Originalmente de cuatro tramos de profundidad, se amplió a siete en 1920. Fue diseñado por Stone, Carpenter & Willson y construido entre 1901 y 1902 para albergar las oficinas de Union Trust Company, que ocupaba los dos primeros pisos y alquilaba el espacio restante. El exterior de los dos primeros pisos recibe un tratamiento diferente al de los pisos superiores, con un primer piso alto cuyas ventanas están separadas por pilastras de piedra y esquinas fuertemente encofradas. Las ventanas del segundo piso están ubicadas dentro de aberturas de arco de medio punto con claves elaboradas. Los niveles superiores están acabados predominantemente en ladrillo, con molduras de mármol; el tercer piso recibe un tratamiento algo más elaborado. La sala del banco interior (en el primer piso) se destacó por su decoración particularmente suntuosa.​ El edificio fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1973.​ En 2016, un desarrollador de Nueva York firmó un contrato por 2,5 millones de dólares en créditos fiscales estatales para la preservación histórica.​ El desarrollador planea "convertir el edificio en una combinación de negocios y restaurante en los primeros dos pisos y en la azotea, y uso de apartamentos en todos los demás pisos".​ Galería Véase también Anexo:Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en Providence Referencias Enlaces externos «Union Trust Company Building (Providence)» (en inglés).

Bank of America Tower (Providence)

Avec ses 130 mètres de hauteur, la Bank of America Tower est le plus haut bâtiment de Providence, la capitale de l'État américain de Rhode Island. Cette construction de style Art déco fut signée par les architectes new-yorkais Walker & Gillete. La tour, qui compte 26 étages, fut inaugurée en 1928 sous le nom d’Industrial Trust Tower. Elle est surnommée « The Superman Building » par les habitants de Providence en raison de sa forte ressemblance avec le bâtiment hébergeant le Daily Planet dans la bande dessinée Superman, puis dans la série télé du même nom datant des années 1950. Si le projet de construction de la tour One Ten, d'une hauteur de plus de 150 mètres, arrive à terme, la tour Bank of America ne sera plus le plus haut bâtiment de Providence.
