Miller Outdoor Theatre

Miller Outdoor Theatre is an outdoor theater for the performing arts in Houston, Texas. It is located on approximately 7.5 acres (30,000 m2) of land in Hermann Park, at 6000 Hermann Park Drive, Houston, Texas 77030. It was first known in 1922 as Miller Memorial Theatre, for its benefactor Jesse Wright Miller, a mining engineer and cotton broker. The theater offers classical music, jazz, ballet, Shakespeare, musical theater, and classic films, with free performances running from March through November. The theatre building Seating is provided for 1,705 patrons, with 20 wheel-chair spaces, plus an 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) sloping lawn that accommodates about 4,500 more. The theater building itself consists of a 64' x 41' stage; 54 line sets for hanging lights, curtains, and scenery; an orchestra pit which can be raised and lowered; dressing rooms; offices; a full complement of theatrical equipment; and a 110-ton air conditioning system for cooling the performance area. In its 2010 season, the Miller Outdoor Theatre provided entertainment for more than 430,000 people at 141 performances and events. History In 1922, the original theater was designed by William Ward Watkin as an amphitheater surrounded by twenty Corinthian-style limestone columns and built by Tom Tellepsen. The theatre’s dedication plaque reads: To the Arts of Music, Poetry, Drama and Oratory, by which the striving spirit of man seeks to interpret the words of God. This theatre of the City of Houston is permanently dedicated. "Miller’s Hill" was created in 1948 with dirt from the excavations of Fannin Street. In 1968, the city built a new theatre with bonds approved by public vote. The new theatre building, designed by Eugene Werlin and Associates, won several awards: the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Biannual Award (1969), the American Institute of Steel Construction’s Award of Excellence, and the James E. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation Award. The 1968 Miller Theatre building was then refurbished starting in 1996, jointly funded by the city of Houston and Friends of Hermann Park. The roof and siding were replaced, and additional restrooms and office areas were installed. In addition, a small stage was added to the east end of the facility, playing to a newly incorporated open plaza area. The renovations were completed in 1998. Today, the venue is managed by the Houston First Corporation. References External links Miller Outdoor Theatre
Millett Opera House

The Millett Opera House, home of the Austin Club, is a historic building in downtown Austin, Texas. Built in 1878 by local lumber seller Charles Millett on one of his lots, the house was one of the largest performance spaces in Texas upon its completion. It featured 800 removable seats, 24-inch limestone walls, and the largest enclosed space in Texas. The Opera House was designed by Frederick Ruffini, an architect working throughout Texas. The Austin Public Free Schools (today the Austin Independent School District) purchased the opera house in 1940. In the 1950s, it was threatened with demolition, but preserved by a local group of concerned people. It housed a printing company until 1979, when a long-term lease was arranged for the Austin Club, a local private social club. The Austin Club now owns the opera house. The Austin Club renovated the building and divided it into three stories, removing the performance space, but a portion of the original hand-painted ceiling is still installed in one of the meeting rooms. The building is located at 110 East Ninth Street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Mineola station (Texas)

Mineola station is a station in Mineola, Texas, United States, currently served by Amtrak's Texas Eagle. The station was originally built in 1906 by the Texas & Pacific Railway and also used by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. History The Missouri-Pacific Railroad built the station in 1906. In 1951, as "modernization", the hipped roof was removed and decoration stripped from the station, leaving a rectangular brick building. The Missouri-Pacific Railroad ended service on its Texas Eagle on April 30, 1971, one day before Amtrak took over passenger services. In March 1974, Amtrak's Inter-American was extended from Fort Worth to St. Louis, restoring passenger service to the Missouri-Pacific Railroad's main line but without a stop in Mineola. The Inter-American was replaced by the Eagle in 1981, which in turn was renamed as the Texas Eagle in 1988. On April 14, 1996, Newport station in Arkansas was closed as part of a deal with the Union Pacific Railroad to reopen the stop at Mineola. Trains began stopping at Mineola on April 28. According to Mineola native Willie Brown, the station was reopened as the result of his persistent lobbying of President Bill Clinton. Responding to an Amtrak report that a survey did not reveal anyone wanting to get off in Mineola, Brown reportedly told Clinton: "The reason to stop in Mineola is not to let anybody off. It's to let the people on. It's not that great a place. Look at me! I left!" Amtrak, however, credited "Mineola community leaders" with the successful effort. In 2005, the city began an $800,000 renovation project, funded primarily by the Texas Department of Transportation, to restore the station to its original appearance. A new angled roof was constructed, signage and landscaping built, and the interior converted for use as a railway museum. The station was rededicated on June 10, 2006.

Huntsvillefängelset

Huntsvillefängelset (Huntsville Unit, Texas State Penitentiary at Huntsville), beläget i Huntsville, uppfördes 1849 och är Texas äldsta fängelse. Alla avrättningar (2013) i Texas sker i detta fängelse. Mellan åren 1928 och 1965 hade Huntsville egna dödsceller för manliga interner men dessa flyttades 1965 till det närliggande Ellis Unit. På grund av många rymningar flyttades det till Polunsky Unit 1999. Dödsceller för kvinnliga interner finns på Mountain View Unit, i Gatesville. Huntsvillefängelset är också känt som Mur-fängelset (engelska Walls Unit) för sina höga tegelmurar runt fängelset. Förutom att ha själva avrättningsfaciliteterna inom fängelsets murar används fängelset primärt för acklimatisering av interner som snart skall friges.

Misión de San José y San Miguel de Aguayo

La Misión de San José y San Miguel de Aguayo es el nombre de una antigua construcción misionera, en la ciudad de San Antonio, Texas, Estados Unidos de América. Su denominación hace referencia al Marquesado de San Miguel de Aguayo originario de Cantabria (España). Historia La misión fue fundada el 23 de febrero de 1720, pues la misión San Antonio de Valero se había hacinado poco después de su fundación con los refugiados de las misiones concluidas del este de Texas. Fray Antonio Margil recibió permiso del gobernador de Coahuila y Texas, el marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo, para la construcción de una nueva misión de 5 millas (8 km) al sur de San Antonio de Valero. Al igual que San Antonio de Valero, la Misión San José sirvió a los indios Coahuiltecan. Los primeros edificios, hechos de arbustos, paja y barro, fueron rápidamente reemplazados por grandes estructuras de piedra, incluyendo las habitaciones, oficinas, un comedor y una despensa. Una pared exterior fuerte fue construido alrededor de la parte principal de la misión, y habitaciones para 350 indios fueron construidos en las paredes. Una nueva iglesia, que sigue en pie, fue construida en 1768 en piedra caliza local. Las tierras de misión se les dio a sus indios en 1794, y las actividades de la misión terminó oficialmente en 1824. Después de eso, los edificios estaban en casa a los soldados, a los desamparados y los bandidos. Fue restaurado en la década de 1930 [5] y ahora es parte de los San Antonio Missions National Historical Park San. Las características de la fachada de la iglesia de la parte superior: una cruz, que representa a Jesucristo, San José con el niño Jesús, Santo Domingo y San Francisco, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, y San Joaquín y Santa Ana con el hijo de María. La misión fue nombrada en parte por el marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo, José de Azlor y Virto de Vera. Muchos edificios en el campus de la Universidad Tecnológica de Texas en Lubbock, Texas, tomaron prestados elementos arquitectónicos de los que se encuentran en la Misión de San José.

Mitchell Lake (San Antonio)

Mitchell Lake is a small lake in the southern part of San Antonio that encompasses approximately 600 acres (2.4 km2) within its city limits, in southern Bexar County in the US state of Texas. It was used as a waste management center for the city but has since fallen under San Antonio Water System control. A redevelopment effort has started on the lake with the openings of golf courses and parks. These efforts aim to change the perceptions of people in the South Texas area who associate the lake with uncleanliness. The lake is beloved by birdwatchers who enjoy the sights of many species of bird that live on or around the lake. In 2004, the National Audubon Society entered into a lease with San Antonio Water System to manage the 1,200-acre site. History The Spanish first utilized the lake in the early 18th century to water their cattle. They called it the "Lake of the Ducks" because of the bounty of ducks that dwelt nearby. The Mitchell family of San Antonio owned the lake in the 19th century and used it for fowl hunting. The city purchased the lake in 1901 for waste management, and as early as the 1970s, efforts began to protect the lake and its rare birds. Geography Northern part of the confluence of Medina River and Leon Creek. Mitchell Lake is a natural drainage between Balcones Fault zone just north of Luling fault zone. A watershed that drains into Mitchell Lake is 9.76 square miles. Wildlife This lake is a diverse ecosystem with a combination of grassland, wetlands, ponds, woodlands, and brush lands. The vegetation is populated with many native plants such as morning glory, aster, lantana, agave, blue mist flower, and live oak. This lake is a route for many migratory birds. Including white pelicans, yellow-billed cuckoo, and roseate spoonbills. References [1] Saws.org U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mitchell Lake (San Antonio)

Monticello Steam Electric Station

The Monticello Steam Electric Station was a 1.88-gigawatt coal-fired power plant located southwest of Mount Pleasant, in Titus County, Texas, US from 1974 to 2018. History Monticello had three units. Unit 1 began operations in 1974, Unit 2 became operational in 1975, and Unit 3, became operational in 1978. Originally, the plant produced electricity by burning lignite from nearby mines in Texas. Later the plant received rail shipments of coal solely from Peabody Energy's Rawhide Mine in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. The plant was cooled by Lake Monticello, which also offers fishing and recreational facilities. The plant was owned by Luminant, a division of Energy Future Holdings. It was operated by Vistra Energy. Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) systems were retrofitted by Fluor to Monticello's units in 2008. This retrofit complimented the LO-NOx burners already installed at Monticello to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. In November 2011, Luminant announced that, rather than retrofitting, they would permanently idle Units 1 and 2 to comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. With two units of the plant being idled, Luminant halted lignite extraction at nearby Sulphur Springs and Mount Pleasant Mines. It later restarted the units in March 2014 due increased demand for power generation from the 2014 North American cold wave. Luminant made the decision in 2014 that Monticello would rely on coal solely from the Powder River Basin beginning in 2016. Closure Vistra announced in October 2017 that all three units would cease power generation in January 2018 due to advancements in renewable energy and a glut of natural gas depressing wholesale power prices. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) permitted the closure of Monticello at a hearing in November 2017. The closure was scheduled for January 4, 2018.
