Synagoge Madison (Wisconsin)

Die Synagoge in Madison, der Hauptstadt des US-Bundesstaates Wisconsin, wurde 1863 errichtet und ist der achtälteste Synagogenbau in den Vereinigten Staaten. Die Synagoge im Stil der Neuromanik wurde 1970 ins National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Sie trägt den Namen Gates of Heaven („Himmelstore“ bzw. hebräisch Shaare Shamayim). Geschichte Die Synagoge im Rundbogenstil wurde von dem aus Bremen stammenden Architekten August Kutzbock (ca. 1814–1868) erbaut. Nachdem die inzwischen profanierte Synagoge anderen Zwecken diente, sollte sie im Jahr 1971 abgerissen werden. Engagierte Bürger verhinderten dies und erreichten, dass der Bau in den James Madison Park versetzt wurde. Seit 2011 wird die Synagoge wieder regelmäßig für jüdische Gottesdienste genutzt.

Sinagoga Gates of Heaven di Madison

La sinagoga Gates of Heaven di Madison, così denominata dal nome della congregazione (Shaarei Shamayim) che la costruì nel 1863 e la utilizzò fino al 1879, è uno dei più antichi edifici sinagogali oggi esistenti negli Stati Uniti. Dal 1879 fino al 1916 l'edificio fu usato da varie congregazioni cristiane e quindi dal 1916 fu adattato a uso commerciale. Acquisito nel 1971 dalla città di Madison fu restaurato come sede di eventi, dal 2011 l'edificio è stato parzialmente riaperta al culto. Storia e descrizione La congregazione ebraica Shaarei Shamayim (Gates of Heaven) si era formata nel 1856 a Madison (Wisconsin) da immigranti ebrei dalla Germania. Nel 1863 fu inaugurata la sinagoga, una delle più antiche sinagoghe monumentali degli Stati Uniti. Il progetto fu affidato all'architetto August Kutzbock, anch'egli un immigrato tedesco. L'edificio, che sorgeva in West Washington Avenue fu costruito in stile neoromanico Rundbogenstil. Difficoltà economiche costrinsero nel 1879 la comunità a rivendere l'edificio che fu dapprima usato dalla Unitarian Society e poi dal 1890 come sede della Women's Christian Temperance Union. Dal 1916 fu adattato a uso commerciale, come cappella funeraria e poi per gli usi più disparati (sala da tè, studio dentistico, ecc.). Nel 1970 l'edificio fu sul punto di essere demolito, ma al tempo stesso venne il suo inserimento nel National Register of Historic Places. L'anno successivo grazie anche a donazioni private fu acquistato dalla città di Madison, restaurato e trasferito nel James Madison Park, all'angolo tre Gorham Street e Butler Street. Da allora l'edificio è usato per matrimoni, concerti e altri eventi pubblici. Dal 2011 il Madison Minyan, una congregazione ebraica indipendente, ha cominciato ad usare nuovamente la sinagoga anche per il culto. Note Bibliografia Henry & Daniel Stolzman.

Gen. James Bintliff House

The Gen. James Bintliff House was built in 1858 in Monroe, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Description and history James Bintliff had immigrated from England around 1841, worked in wool factories in New York, and moved to Monroe in 1853. There he worked as a bookkeeper in a dry goods store, as a bank cashier, and as register of deeds. In 1859, he began practice as a lawyer. In 1860 he and a partner bought the Monroe Sentinel. Bintliff helped organize the Republican Party, he was against slavery, and in 1862 he raised an infantry company which was captured in the Battle of Thompson's Station in Tennessee. After release from imprisonment, Bintliff recruited the 38th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment and commanded three regiments in the Third Battle of Petersburg. For distinguished service there, Bintliff was nominated by President Andrew Johnson on January 13, 1866, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on March 12, 1866, for appointment to the rank of brevet brigadier general of volunteers, to rank from April 2, 1865. Bintliff's house in Monroe is in Gothic Revival style, characterized by the steep roof, the tall windows, and the elaborate bargeboards on the gables. The walls are brick, on a brick foundation. Parts of the house are lit by 9-foot French windows. Inside are a fireplace, a porcelain and glass chandelier in the dining room, and a spiral staircase. Bintliff lived in the house until around 1870. After him, N. C. Twining, the head of local schools lived there, then the Henry Pick family. In 1960 the Hamiltons of the Monroe Evening Times bought the house, and in this house E.C. Hamilton wrote about the history and architecture of Monroe. The NRHP nomination describes the Bintliff house as "Monroe's best domestic example of Gothic Revival style." References
General Francis H. West House

The General Francis H. West House is an octagon house built in 1860 in Monroe, Wisconsin. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 for its association with the historically significant West, and for its unusual combination of multiple polygons. Francis H. West was a New Englander who came west to become an early settler of the Monroe area. He had a diverse career, including lead miner, lumberman, state senator, and California explorer. During the Civil War he commanded the 31st Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment. In the 1850s, West built a wooden octagon house on the same property as the current house, but it was torn down in the 1930s. West built the current octagon house from 1860 to 1861, with walls of brick two stories high. Most octagon houses are a single octagon, but this one is four joined octagonal polygons, with a rectangular wing behind and a small octagonal cupola on top of them all. The styling outside is Italianate, with brackets and knob pendants under the eaves. Inside, the first floor contains a foyer, a parlor, a study, and a dining room, with the rectangular wing containing a kitchen, a family room, and a solarium that was added in the 80's. Some of these rooms have parquet floors. The second floor holds two bedrooms, a library, and a bathroom, with a small bedroom and bathroom in the rectangular wing. From the start, West's house included a progressive-for-the-time gravity plumbing system with lead pipes embedded in the walls, fed by a tank in the attic that is still present, and an "air conditioning" system which let air funnel from the cupola above into the rooms below. Orson Fowler of New York was the proponent of octagon houses, publishing a book on them in 1847. It's unclear how much Francis West was influenced by Fowler, but West's combination of polygons is unique in Wisconsin and not an idea from Fowler. References
Gesu Church (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Gesu Church is a Jesuit parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a Milwaukee Landmark in 1975. Although the church is not affiliated with Marquette University, through a 1991 partnership, it ministers to the downtown campus of Marquette and surrounding neighborhood. Description Gesu, founded 177 years ago in 1849 as St. Gall's Parish, initially served English-speaking Irish Catholics from the near south and west sides of Milwaukee in what was the neighborhood of Tory Hill. As the parish grew, it built Holy Name Church in 1875, and by 1887 Jesuit officials combined the two parishes into one church. The Gesu name was chosen in 1893 to honor the Church of the Gesu in Rome, where St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, is buried. The cornerstone was laid on May 23, 1893, with over 20,000 in attendance. A dedication ceremony followed on December 17, 1894, to mark the formal completion of the church. Actor Pat O'Brien (1899–1983) served as an altar boy at Gesu while growing up near 13th and Clybourn streets. He attended Marquette Academy (a preparatory department that later became Marquette University High School) with Spencer Tracy (1900–1967), and later attended Marquette University. Gesu Church holds daily Masses and attracts over 2,500 worshipers on weekends. In late 1954, the church held the funeral for Miller Brewing Company president Fred Miller and his son, Fred, Jr., attended by thousands. Architecture and fittings Architect Henry C. Koch designed the French Gothic building, drawing inspiration from the Cathedral of Chartres in France. It features landmark spires of unequal height, a centered rose window, and stained glass windows. Harriet L. Cramer donated of the granite columns in the church's interior, said to be the only columns of this kind in the U.S.; they were placed there at a cost of US$20,000.

Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area

Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area is a natural area in southern Wisconsin, United States, which is 68 acres (28 ha) in size, and is located along the 1,000-mile-long (1,600 km) Ice Age Trail. Location Located in Columbia County, Wisconsin, Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area is 68 acres (28 ha) in size. The Wisconsin River Valley and Lake Wisconsin are located within view of the higher-elevation points in the natural area. The Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area is located along the Ice Age Trail, which is a thousand miles long. It is located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from the intersection of Highway 113 and County Highway V in the town of West Point. Wisconsin County Road V runs past the area, with a parking lot located off the road that allows access to it. From there, a walking trail leads off to gain access to Gibraltar Rock. History Early on, the Van Ness family owned the land and had a house on the property. Other early families living in the area includes the Richmond family. During the 1920s, Wisconsin landscape architect Jens Jensen started efforts to protect the area. Forming a group at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1920, the group was able to acquire the land in 1927. They named the area Richmond Park. The Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area became a Wisconsin-designated natural area in 1969. It was originally owned by the county until 2007, when they transferred ownership to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). A celebration was held following the transfer of ownership. Background The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources manages the Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area. Howard Van Ness made several paintings depicting the area prior to its designation as a state natural area. Friends of Gibraltar Rock exists and does "biological indexing of the flora and fauna in the area." The views from the natural area are a major tourist draw. The 1.4-mile (2.3 km) track for the area does not have wheelchair access. People are not allowed to climb the rocks in the park, though this has not always been the case. Geology The natural area is located on the outer part of the Magnesian Escarpment/Black River Escarpment, with the soil for the area being glaciated sandy loams, which sit on top of the Galena-Platteville dolomite cap and St. Peter sandstone. Inside the natural area is a 200-foot-tall (61 m) flat-topped butte called "Gibraltar Rock." It sits 1,246 feet (380 m) above sea level and is the highest point in Columbia County. There is a 0.75-mile-long (1.2 km) trail leading up to the Rock. Wildlife and fauna Cliff goldenrod, columbine, ferns, pale corydalis and red cedar, little blue-stem, side oats grama, prairie drop-seed, blue-eyed grass, bird's foot violet, bergamot, pasque flower, leadplant, aster, whorled milkweed, and prairie smoke are located within the natural area.

Dr. Newman C. Rowley House

The Dr. Newman C. Rowley House is a fine brick house built in 1868 in Middleton, Wisconsin. In 1999 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is now a museum of the Middleton Area Historic Society. History Middleton's first white settlers arrived in 1841, while Wisconsin was still a territory. The town of Middleton was established in 1848. In 1856, when the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad built its line through heading west, associates of the railroad platted the village of Middleton Station, which became an important shipping center for the surrounding farmers. Newman Campbell Rowley was born in Vermont in 1815. He financed his own medical education by teaching and borrowing, and received his medical diploma in 1849. Around the same time he married Sarah H. Davis. In 1850 they moved to Wisconsin. He practiced medicine in early Verona for a bit, then Middleton Junction, then Verona again, but finally moved to Middleton Station in 1861 or '62. He was the first doctor in town, and he built a drugstore with medical offices above. His son Antinous completed his medical education at Rush Medical College in Chicago and joined N.C. in 1868, with the drugstore named "Rowley & Son." In 1868 Newman built the house which is the subject of this article, about a block from his drugstore, and a block from the important junction where Parmenter Street crossed the railway. It is a fairly simply styled two-story house with a gabled-ell footprint. The walls are cream brick made in Edgerton, sitting on a limestone foundation. The windows are six-over-six sash, with stone sills and lintels. The walls are topped by a frieze board, and then a rather low-pitched gable roof. A porch spans the whole front of the house, supported by turned posts decorated with brackets. The front door is framed in sidelights and transom. Inside are narrow wood floors, plaster walls, and some of the woodwork is painted to look like wood grain. The two doctors Rowley established a "pest house" outside of town along Pheasant Branch Creek, where people with smallpox could be cared for while under quarantine. The Rowleys also helped start the Presbyterian church in Middleton and then the Baptist church, helped found Masonic Lodge #180 in 1870, and N.C. was a charter member of the Odd Fellows Lodge. Newman died in 1871. His son A.A. continued the practice, moving into his father's house with his wife and children. When A.A. died in 1902, his son Antinous Gilbert took over the practice. In 1909 A.G. built a new house at 7320 Rowley Avenue, but other relatives lived in N.C.'s house on Hubbard St. A.G. continued practice until 1955. When he retired, the three generations of Rowleys had provided medical care in western Dane County for 105 years. Rowley descendants lived in the house until 1989. Then the Middleton Area Historical Society bought the house. They rebuilt the front porch, restored some parts of the house to be more historically authentic, and now use it as a house museum and their headquarters. Footnotes References
