Madeira School

The Madeira School (simply referred to as Madeira School or Madeira) is an elite, private, day and boarding college-preparatory school for girls in McLean, Virginia, United States. It was established in 1906 by Lucy Madeira Wing. History The school was founded in 1906 by Lucy Madeira Wing (1873–1961) on 19th Street near Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. In 1931, it moved some 12 miles west to the Northern Virginia suburb of Greenway, Virginia, which was later renamed McLean. Events In 1973, the body of 14-year-old student Natalia Semler was found bound and beaten on the school grounds. John Gilreath, who had been convicted of a sexual assault at the school two years earlier, was convicted of her murder. In 1980, then-headmistress Jean Harris was convicted of the murder of Herman Tarnower. Demographics The demographic breakdown of the 334 girls enrolled in 2021–2022 was: American Indian/Alaska Native - 0 Asian - 75 Black - 40 Hispanic - 30 Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander - 1 White - 157 Two or More Races - 31 Campus and facilities The campus is on 376 acres (1.52 km2) overlooking the Potomac River (McLean, Virginia) and consists of 34 separate buildings. Original buildings on the 1931 campus include Main, the dining hall, Schoolhouse, East, West, North, and South Dorms, the Land, the Annex (infirmary), and the two gatehouses at the entrance to the Oval. Buildings added later include the Chapel/Auditorium, the indoor riding ring and Gaines Hall, the science building, a renovated and expanded dining hall, Hurd Sports Center, and Huffington Library. Public access The Madeira school has had many disputes over the use of its land. In 1966, Fairfax County proposed to turn 208 of Madeira's 376 acres (1.52 km2) into public parkland. In 1991, Madeira gave a trail easement along Georgetown Pike and $89,000 for construction so that hikers could walk the Potomac Heritage Route without entering the main area of the campus. However, this trail was never completed by the park officials. In 2008, the Fairfax County government attempted to obtain from Madeira an easement near the Potomac River to permit the completion of a 100-mile (160 km) loop of walking trails as a condition of approval for the school's proposed expansion plans. This one-mile (1.6 km)-long trail section through Madeira's property would connect the county's Scott's Run Park to Great Falls National Park. The Madeira School declined this easement, citing concerns about safety and environmental impacts.

The station is served by Virginia Railway Express Manassas Line commuter trains and Amtrak Cardinal, Crescent and Northeast Regional intercity trains.

Manassas National Battlefield Park

Le Manassas National Battlefield Park est une aire protégée américaine créée le 10 mai 1940 sous la forme d'un parc de champ de bataille national pour préserver des sites de la guerre de Sécession : ceux de la première bataille de Bull Run (21 juillet 1861) et de la seconde bataille de Bull Run (28 au 30 août 1862). Ces affrontements sont également connus comme les batailles de Manassas du côté confédéré. Aujourd'hui, ce parc offre aux visiteurs l'occasion d'explorer le terrain historique où les hommes se sont battus et sont morts il y a plus d'un siècle. Plus de 900 000 personnes visitent le champ de bataille chaque année. Le centre d'accueil Henry Hill, situé sur Sudley Road près de l'entrée sud du parc, propose des expositions et des explications sur la première bataille de Bull Run, notamment des uniformes, des armes et du matériel de campagne datant de la guerre de Sécession, ainsi qu'une carte électronique de la bataille. Le centre propose le film d'orientation « Manassas : End of Innocence », ainsi qu'une librairie. Une découverte en 2014 a mis au jour des fragments d'os qui ont conduit à la découverte des restes squelettiques de deux soldats de l'Union dans ce que l'on pense aujourd'hui être une fosse chirurgicale. Les restes ont été retrouvés parmi les os de plusieurs autres membres dans la fosse. La datation au carbone 14 montre que les deux hommes sont morts lors de la bataille de Second Manassas, également connue sous le nom de seconde bataille de Bull Run, en août 1862. Les restes ont été déplacés le 19 juin 2018 et transférés du Service des parcs nationaux à l'armée américaine, qui prévoyait de les enterrer au cimetière national d'Arlington.

Manassas National Battlefield Park

Il Manassas National Battlefield Park è un parco nazionale sito nella contea di Prince William, in Virginia. Racchiude al suo interno numerose costruzioni risalenti alla metà del XIX secolo, così come due campi di battaglia della guerra di secessione: quello della prima battaglia di Bull Run e della seguente seconda battaglia di Bull Run. Storia La zona di Manassas acquisì importanza allo scoppio della guerra di secessione, poiché posta alla frontiera tra Stati Uniti e Stati Confederati d'America. Tra il 1861 e il 1862 vi si combatterono quindi le prime battaglie significative del conflitto; nella fattispecie presso Manassas ebbero luogo la prima battaglia di Bull Run nel 1861 e la seconda battaglia di Bull Run nel 1862, entrambe vittorie confederate. Nel 1911 sulle terre del futuro parco si tenne il giubileo della pace di Manassas, evento organizzato dai veterani della guerra civile per favorire il ricreato clima di unità nazionale. Per il suo significato storico, la zona venne resa un parco nel 1936 dal governo della Virginia, venendo poi elevata al rango di parco nazionale trent'anni più tardi. Tutt'oggi, a causa degli scontri combattuti in passato, si continuano a rinvenire resti umani all'interno del parco. Siti d'interesse Elenco parziale dei punti di riferimento presenti all'interno del parco: Stone House, costruzione utilizzata come ospedale durante gli scontri; Stone Bridge, un ponte di pietra il cui possesso si contendevano i combattenti; Robinson House, casa appartenente all'afroamericano libero Jim Robinson, uno dei punti in cui i combattimenti si concentrarono maggiormente, ora in rovina a causa di un incendio nel 1993; Yorkshire Plantation, dove un tempo sorgeva la piantagione di Wilmer McLean, un abitante del posto che fuggì da Manassas ma che fu protagonista della resa confederata alla battaglia di Appomattox; monumento bronzeo a Stonewall Jackson.

Marden House

The Marden House is a residence in McLean, Virginia, United States, designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located just off Chain Bridge Road and overlooks the Potomac River. Also known as "Fontinalis", it is named after Luis Marden (1913–2003), a writer, photographer and explorer for National Geographic. It was designed by Wright in 1952 and was completed in 1959 at a cost of $76,000. The location had caught Marden's eye in 1944 when he and his wife and had been fishing along the Potomac. After purchasing a plot of land, Marden continued the correspondence he had maintained with Wright since 1940, asking the architect to design a home for him. It was not until 1952 that the designs finally came. After Marden moved to a nursing home in 1998, the house was purchased by Jim Kimsey, co-founder of AOL, in 2000 for $2.5 million.

The hospital chose an 84-acre (34 ha) campus adjacent to their current Outpatient Care Center on Pantops Mountain for the new facility. Design and construction The new building is designed by Kahler Slater of Milwaukee, WI. Engineering firms include Graef, Anhult, Schloemer & Associates of Milwaukee; Ring & DuChateau of Milwaukee; Rummel, Klepper & Kahi LLP of Richmond, VA and Hughes, Good, O'Leary and Ryan of Atlanta, GA. The general contractor was M. A. Mortenson Company of Brookfield, Wisconsin. The new building has five floors and a basement. There are two wings for patient rooms, the Wendel Wing and the Cornell Wing, as well as a cancer wing, the Phillips Family Cancer Center. The emergency department is located on the southwest end of the second floor. The maternity ward is located in the central area of the third floor. Visitor access, as well as retail space, is located on the Northeast side of the third floor. The cafeteria is located on the northeast side of the fourth floor. Sale of the old facility In September 2010, Martha Jefferson Hospital sold its downtown Charlottesville building to Octagon Partners. Octagon Partners later announced that the CFA Institute would move into a portion of the re-developed facility in 2013. Merger On September 29, 2010, Martha Jefferson Hospital announced its intention to merge with Sentara Healthcare. The merger was finalized on June 1, 2011, making Martha Jefferson the tenth hospital of Sentara Healthcare's not-for-profit integrated health system, which is based in Norfolk, Virginia.
