Woodlawn (Plantage)

Woodlawn ist ein historisches Haus in Fairfax County, Virginia. Es war ursprünglich ein Teil der historischen Plantage Mount Vernon, dem Landsitz von George Washington. Woodlawn wurde erbaut von 1800 bis 1805 für den Neffen von George Washington Lawrence Lewis und seine Braut (Washingtons Stiefenkelin), Eleanor “Nelly” Custis Lewis. Auf Washingtons Bitte hin wurde es entworfen von William Thornten, dem Architekten des Kapitols. Während die Familie Lewis das Haus bewohnte gehörten zu dem Anwesen 2.000 Hektar (810 ha) Land, welches das Paar von Washington als Hochzeitsgeschenk bekommen hatte, es arbeiteten dort über 100 Personen, darunter circa 90 Sklaven. Woodlawn ist auf einem Hügel gelegen, von dem aus man Mount Vernon sehen kann. 1846 verkaufte ein Sohn des Lewis den Besitz an zwei Quäkerfamilien, die Troths und die Gillinghams. Diese lehnten die Sklaverei aus ethischen Gründen ab. So wurde Woodlawn zur free labor colony, welche freie Schwarze und weiße Farmer beschäftigte und erbrachte damit den Beweis, dass die Sklavenbefreiung nicht das Ende der Bewirtschaftung der Südstaatenplantagen bedeuten müsse. Diese Haltung machte Woodlawn zu einem umstrittenen Sozialexperiment und damit zu einem Angriffsziel der Konföderierten Truppen im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts war Woodlawn weitgehend zerfallen und bei einem Hurrikan 1896 wurde es stark zerstört. 1901 zog der Dramatiker Paul Kester zusammen mit seiner Mutter, Bruder und 60 Katzen in das Haus und begann es zu restaurieren. 1905 zog Kester in das nahegelegene Gunston Hall und verkaufte Woodlawn an Miss Elizabeth Sharpe, eine reiche Kohlenerbin aus Pennsylvania, die 24 Jahre lang Woodlawn liebevoll restaurierte. Die letzten privaten Besitzer von Woodlawn waren Senator und Mrs. Oscar Underwood aus Alabama. Nach Mrs Underwoods Tod wurde das Anwesen von einer privaten Organisation gekauft um seinen Erhalt zu sichern. Schließlich wurde es 1952 Eigentum des National Trust for Historic Preservation einem Teil der National Trust Community Investment Corporation. Es ist ganzjährig für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Im Februar 1970 wurde die Plantage als Gebäude in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Seit August 1998 hat Woodlawn den Status eines National Historic Landmarks und ist eine von 121 historischen Stätten dieser Art in Virginia. Im November 2011 wurde der Schutzbezirk um die Stätte erweitert. Weblinks Woodlawn Einzelnachweise
Harwoods Mill Reservoir

Das Harwoods Mill Reservoir (auch als Harwood Mills Reservoir bekannt) ist ein Stausee im York County im US-Bundesstaat Virginia. Er liegt innerhalb des Newport News Parks. Er ist Wasserlieferant der kreisfreien Stadt Newport News. Seine Fläche beträgt 1,04 Quadratkilometer. Der Wasservorrat wird neben dem Zufluss des Poquoson River von den Stauseen Camp Chickahominy Lake, Diascund Creek Reservoir und Little Creek Reservoir zum Harwoods Mill Reservoir gespeist. Um Algenbildung zu vermeiden, wird dem See in regelmäßigem Umfang Kupfersulfat zugefügt. Die Virginia State Route 620 unterteilt den Stausee in zwei Gebiete, was die zuständigen Wasserschutzbehörden als Hilfsmittel nutzen, um bestimmte Charakteristika des Lebensraums diverser Pflanzen- und Fischarten zu unterscheiden. So besitzt der nördliche Teil eine Reichhaltigkeit von Sumpfzypressen. Ebenso hat dieses Gebiet ein hohes Vorkommen Echter Barsche. Bedingt durch die größere Freifläche im südlichen Abschnitt, sind hier in vermehrtem Maße der Amerikanische Flussbarsch und der Wolfsbarsch Morone americana (white perch) anzutreffen. Unweit westlich des Harwoods Mill Reservoirs befindet sich der Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport. Weblinks Harwoods Mill Reservoir. In: Geographic Names Information System.

The Almshouse (Richmond, Virginia)

The Almshouse, also known as the City Home is a historic almshouse and hospital complex located in Richmond, Virginia. History The Almshouse The Richmond Almshouse and hospital complex includes the Main Building, a one-story administration building built c. 1950, the West Building, and the Garage. The Main Almshouse Building was built in 1860–61, and is an Italianate style brick building consisting of three symmetrically spaced pavilions linked by hyphens. Each pavilion is three stories tall, three bays wide, and rises above a raised full-story basement. The West Building was built in 1908. Its basic design is very similar to the 1860-61 Almshouse, except that each pavilion is two stories tall. The Colored Almshouse The West Building was built to be the new Colored Almshouse, also known as the new Colored Home. It replaced the old "Colored Almshouse" and hospital which was opened in 1868. It was located on what is now the grounds of the Hebrew Cemetery Annex. Those same grounds were the former location of the City Hospital for smallpox, along with a portion of the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground. The new Colored Almshouse also housed a charity hospital for African-American residents of Richmond. The garage is a two-story masonry and wood frame two bay building. The Almshouse, later called the Richmond Nursing Home, continued to serve the less-fortunate members of the Richmond community until the late 1970s. It is now in use again as a privately managed home for low-income residents. General Hospital #1 From 1861 to 1864, the Almshouse served as a Confederate States hospital, officially designated General Hospital No. 1 but also widely known as the Alms House Hospital. It operated under the direction of Dr. Charles Bell Gibson, the head of surgical department at the Medical College of Virginia. Many casualties from the battles of First and Second Manassas, Ball's Bluff, the Seven Days, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville were treated here. For much of that time, Union sick and wounded were treated in the building as well. In 1864, the building transitioned briefly to use as an officers-only facility until closing as a hospital in mid-1864. In December 1864, it became the home of the Virginia Military Institute, after that campus had been burned by Union troops under the command of Gen. David Hunter. The institute and its cadets occupied the building until the fall of Richmond to Union forces in April 1865. Temporary and former Almshouse While the new 1861 Almshouse was under construction and also during the Civil War, a temporary Almshouse was operated on the property of John W. Smith, the former keeper of the Gun Powder Magazine. The new Almshouse was the replacement for the former Almshouse also called the Poor-house and the Poor and Work House which was located at the same place. Its construction was completed in 1806. It was once the third largest building in the city of Richmond. The 1861 Almshouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, with a boundary increase in 1990. References

Battersea (Petersburg, Virginia)

Battersea is a historic plantation home located on the Appomattox River at Petersburg, Virginia. It was built in 1768 for U.S. Founding Father Colonel John Banister (1734–1788), the first mayor of Petersburg, a colonel of cavalry in the Revolutionary War, member of the Virginia House of Burgesses delegate to the Continental Congress, and signer of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, Virginia State Constitution, and the Articles of Confederation. It is a symmetrical five-part Palladian house consisting of a two-story central block topped by a pyramidal roof, one-story wings that act as hyphens, and 1 1/2-story end pavilions. Although modeled in the Palladian style, its unique character is adapted to a colonial American lifestyle. Battersea is similar in design to the Palladian mansion at Lower Brandon Plantation in nearby Prince George, also completed in the 1760s and perhaps designed by Thomas Jefferson. Although the designer of Battersea remains a mystery, he would have been conversant in European tastes of the day. Also on the property are the contributing greenhouse and a kitchen, which may have additionally served as a laundry and servants’ quarter. The brick greenhouse, or orangerie, is significant for its rarity and design. Built between 1825-1835, it is almost 190 years old and remains one of the few of its kind still in existence. The ruins of Bannister's Mill, a gristmill built in 1732, are located nearby on land that was part of Battersea plantation in the 18th century. Battersea has been privately owned since 2006, and was purchased by the Battersea Foundation in 2011. Battersea Foundation is a nonprofit whose mission is to preserve Historic Battersea and offer educational, artistic and cultural experiences that inform, enrich and inspire the public. They host several events at Battersea throughout the year. Battersea was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.

The Commonwealth Club

The Commonwealth Club ist ein privater Gentlemen’s Club in Richmond im Bundesstaat Virginia der Vereinigten Staaten. Das Gebäude wurde bereits 1891 fertiggestellt und dient auch heute noch als Clubhaus. Es befindet sich an der Adresse 401 West Franklin Street und ist als Contributing Property des Commonwealth Club Historic District in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Der Commonwealth Club wird als eines der vorzeigbarsten Beispiele für die Architektur in Richmond angesehen und war ein physisches Symbol für die New-South-Bewegung der Stadt zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Architektur Nach einem erfolglosen Versuch, Pläne von örtlichen Unternehmen zu kaufen, sah sich der Vorstand des Commonwealth Club außerhalb von Richmond nach einem Baustil um, der die zunehmend als eigenständig anerkannte US-amerikanische Architektur aufgreifen sollte. Das vorgesehene Baugrundstück lag zudem hoch über dem Straßenniveau. Der Vorstand bevorzugte einen eleganten Stil, der zugleich den südlichen Charakter der Stadt Richmond widerspiegeln sollte. Aus einer Gruppe von vier Unternehmen wurde schließlich das New Yorker Architekturbüro Carrère and Hastings mit dem Bau beauftragt. Der Commonwealth Club sticht aus den anderen Gebäuden der Stadt deutlich hervor. Das Gebäude ist wesentlich charakterisiert durch seine tiefroten Backsteine, Verzierungen aus Sandstein sowie terrakottafarbene Kartuschen. Der Baustil enthält Elemente sowohl der Neuromanik als auch der Neorenaissance, wodurch es zum einen traditionelle Wurzeln und zum anderen die Fähigkeit der Einwohner von Richmond widerspiegelt, sich einen Architekturstil auf nationalem Niveau zu leisten.

Open Source Center

Das Open Source Center (OSC; englisch für Zentrum [für] Öffentliche Quellen) ist eine nachrichtendienstliche Behörde in den Vereinigten Staaten, die früher dem Director of National Intelligence unterstellt war. Sie ist auf das Sammeln und Auswerten von öffentlich zugänglichen Quellen – genannt Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) – spezialisiert. Die täglichen Berichte der Behörde finden regelmäßig Eingang in den President’s Daily Brief des Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten. Lage und Mitarbeiter Das Hauptquartier der Behörde befindet sich in Reston, Virginia, dort wo zuvor der Foreign Broadcast Information Service saß, deren FBIS-Mitarbeiter in das OSC integriert wurden. Die meisten Mitarbeiter sitzen in Reston und viele direkt vor Ort in den verschiedenen Botschaften der Vereinigten Staaten. Bei dem OSC sollen einige Hundert Mitarbeiter (Stand: November 2011) arbeiten. Genaue Zahl sind geheim. Geschichte Das OSC wurde in der Folge der Terroranschläge am 11. September 2001 eingerichtet und dient hauptsächlich der Terrorabwehr und der Verhinderung illegaler Waffengeschäfte. Seit den Protesten nach den iranischen Präsidentschaftswahlen 2009 sind soziale Netzwerke stark in den Fokus der Behörde gerückt. In den Unruhen in Bangkok 2010 kamen, laut dem stellvertretenden Direktor des OSCs, zwei Drittel aller Berichte aus der Botschaft der Vereinigten Staaten in Bangkok an die Regierung, von seiner Behörde. Der Veränderung der Stimmungslage vor dem Arabischen Frühling wurde von dem OSC, Angaben des Direktors Douglas Naquin zufolge, bemerkt. Man rechnete demnach mit einem großflächigen Aufstand. Lediglich der Zeitpunkt sei nicht bekannt gewesen. Laut eigener Aussage fanden die Reaktionen auf die Tötung von Osama bin Laden in der Operation Neptune’s Spear im Mai 2011 besondere Beachtung. 2015 wurde das OSC in Open Source Enterprise umbenannt und in das neu geschaffene Directorate of Digital Innovation der CIA eingegliedert. Leiter Das OSC wurde kommissarisch vom Direktor der CIA geleitet. Weblinks Open Source Center. In: Offizielle Webpräsenz des OSC. Archiviert vom Original am 20. September 2015; abgerufen am 6.
