Дом Державиных

***Дом Державиных*** - участок принадлежавший семье Державиных. Находится в Санкт-Эринбурге.

## История

Когда-то в этом доме жили две семьи. Но затем Державины выкупили вторую часть дома и объединили обе половины. Можно увидеть, что некоторые двери прорублены в стенах не так давно. Из-за этого в доме очень необычная планировка.

## Описание

### Сад

Окружен чахлым садом с кривыми полувысохшими деревьями. Трехметровая чугунная ограда. Во дворе Державиных фруктовый сад. есть калитка

### Снаружи

Гигантский трехэтажный особняк с высокими окнами и черепичной крышей стоял на небольшом холме в старой части города и, казалось, нависал над близлежащими улицами. Потемневшие от времени стены местами полностью покрывал буйно разросшийся виноград. Над крышей поднимались сразу две кирпичные каминные трубы. На верхнем этаже были большие окна во всю стену, но настолько покрытые пылью, что сквозь них ничего невозможно было разглядеть. Окруженный чахлым садом с кривыми полувысохшими деревьями и трехметровой чугунной оградой, особняк напоминал дома с привидениями из старых фильмов ужасов.

### Внутри

Из большой гостиной наверх поднималась широкая деревянная лестница, ведущая на второй и третий этажи. В ванную комнату первого яруса можно было пройти только через просторную кухню. Еще одна ванна стояла на третьем этаже посреди небольшой кладовки, а чтобы попасть в туалет, надо было прежде спуститься в подвал. Комната для гостей на втором этаже когда-то была кухней. Об этом свидетельствовал кран с двумя вентилями, до сих пор торчавший прямо из стены рядом с просторной тахтой.

#### Гостиная

В гостинной небольшое зеркало на стене ограждено решеткой. В позолоченной раме портрет молодой Евдокии - женщина в кружевном платье со стоячим воротником. Лет пятьдесят назад. Перстни и бриллиантовое колье. Волосы уложены в высокую прическу и поддержаны тиарой. Рядом весит портрет Маргариты Державиной.

#### Кухня

Просторная комната, железную дровяную печь сменили на газовую современную.

#### Комната Катерины

Довольно большое помещение под самой крышей особняка. В комнате нет письменного стола, криво поклеенные обои, в углу большой платяной шкаф, рядом с ним пара стульев. и кровать. В одной из стен дверь, ранее заклеенная обоями - потайная комната, в которой ранее была просто свалена мебель.

#### Бывшая комната Евдокии

В шкафу потайная дверь в комнату без окон с трельяжем и стулом, откуда Евдокия общалась с Властелинами. Комната осталась не заселенной, среди её вещей было полно оккультных, амулеты из костей, перевязанные черными шнурками, стеклянные монеты с золотыми вкраплениями.

#### Гостевая, комната Валентина

Большая кровать, шкаф у стены, комод, дверь, ведущая в гардероб.

The Richmond Shopping Center located in Richmond, Minecraft was built in March, 2019 to remodel and tear down half of the 14 year vacant unfinished Richmond Mall. Richmond Shopping Center is classified as a success, but its brother "Village Mall Complex" right across the street says otherwise. More stores appear to be closing due to the Retail Apocolypes of 2019. Also a few stores have moved out of the mall due to high rent like Wendy's, Farmers Market, & HomeGoods. Goodwill also plans to be leaving the mall to move to the Richmond Shopping Center when the new location finishes construction.

Tempers Flair at Richmond City Hall During Shopping Center Plans Meeting

## 6/29/2023 7:19 PM

**RICHMOND, MINECRAFT**

Klett Brothers and Richmond Residents haven’t been getting along too well as tempers began to arise by residents during a meeting at the Richmond City Hall on Brunswick Street in Downtown Richmond. The meeting which was being held by Klett Brothers Development to show residents the plans for the Richmond Towne Centre project which brought a lot of anger and concern by residents. “We’re tired of all these shopping centers opening right next to each other, it doesn’t help anything, our only two shopping centers we have are already struggling and a new one just isn’t gonna fix the problem, West Coast Mall is killing our town!” says Cheryl Clearwater of Richmond. Richmond has a population of around 5,000 people and most of the town is rural, most of the residents who live further east in Richmond near Downtown have to drive a long way on Route 6 just to do grocery shopping so most shop at local farmers markets. Residents of Richmond requested Klett Brothers to rethink their plans about building the shopping center closer to Downtown Richmond where most residents live but the two brothers refused to comment. “I think these two bozos don’t have any idea how small towns work since they’re from Chester, maybe if they were from Richmond they know what they’re doing.” says Noah Bristol of Richmond.

Still No Progress for new Hotel in Richmond

## 12/26/2019

**RICHMOND, MINECRAFT**

The project for the new Cobblestone Inn & Suites Hotel at the Richmond Shopping Center on Market Street appeared to be abandoned rather then starting construction. The project was announced in July, 2019 and didn’t start construction until August, 2019, in late August, construction appeared to have abruptly stopped. 2 months later, Cafaro Company announced that a payment from the hotel company needed to go through before construction could even start, Cafaro said construction for the new hotel would start again on November 1st. A month goes by and almost to January, the hotel has looked the same since it first started in August about 4 months ago. Even grass is starting to grow inside and outside of the proposed site. We contacted Cafaro Company to no response. “The only thing they did was put walls up for the new hotel, but that was already finished in August.” says Mark Johnson of Richmond who works at the Gertrude Hawk store at Richmond Shopping Center. No word has been announced either from the owners of the Cobblestone Inn & Suites, so everybody is assuming that the project has went abandoned, but only time will tell.

KEWB

## KFUN

### 1980-1993

On August 9th, 1980. KFUN-TV started broadcasting on analog channel 27 in Tristate, Mareland & Lanza Gate, Minecraft. It was a children's network similar to (**KTML-TV**) In fact, they were owned by KTML until 1990. In 1991, UPN offered to buy KFUN but they denied and kept it locally owned.

### 1993-1994

In 1993, KFUN-TV got a new logo. In 1994, The WB offered to buy KFUN-TV but they denied once again. Lanza Gate said they needed a The WB station so in 1994, KFUN agreed to merge with The WB Networks.

## KEWB

### 1994-2006

On July 12, 1994. KFUN-TV Became KEWB-TV "K East WB" Tristate had two WB stations, one for the East Side, and One for the West Side, which made more sense. However, the channel was mostly for Lanza Gate and half of Tristate.

### 2006-)

Since Lanza Gate didn't have enough money to pay The WB to have a MY Network or UPN affliate, it once again became locally owned as "RAP-TV" to star Rappers in the Lanza Gate area. It moved a little closed to Lanza Gate, so now Lanza Gate & The East Side of Tristate, Mareland now get the signal. It is now known as KEWB-DT 27.1 but still uses the same logo. This station does pretty well and could possibly become a The CW affilate if they react their goal of 2,000 dollars.

KTML-DT

## KTML

### 1972-1975

KTML started off as a independent run kids network for Tristate, Mareland. Before Tristate got a PBS or NET affilate, they used KTML to air Sesame Street before moving to to KTEN  Tristate's PBS affilate.

### 1975-1988

   KTML was still being used as a kids station but starting in 1983, around 5 PM is when they started airing Entertainment Tonight, and more programs for grown ups similar to KCOP 13. They aired He-Man in the morning, and in the late 80s started airing Roseanne.

### 1988-1990

   KTML got a new logo in June of 1988. It was mostly used as a screenbug and notice how it doesn't have random colors. In 1988 KTML was orignally suppose to be a Kmart affilate since most Kmart affilates had the stations logo purple text but was hold off a little bit, it even had a logo concepted but was never used, it was later leaked.

This going to be the logo when it was suppose to be a Kmart affilate.

### 1990-1993

KTML gotten the rainbow colors back and the logo was suppose to be magnet letters. This was the fridge era of KTML since some station id were opening and closing a fridge showing the networks logo with Tristate, ML underneath. The network was non kid related at all anymore and in August 1, 1992. KTML gotten a big remodel putting a newsroom in the former snack bar or Cafeteria of the studio. At 5 PM to 6 PM they would air KTML News at 5.

### 1993-1998

After the Kmart Affilate Lease was accept, KTML finally became a Kmart affilate in 1993. A Kmart affilate usually aired Kmart Commercials, Kmart TV Shows like The K-Race (Sponsored by Olan-Mills Portrait Studios)., Bill-Nye The Science Guy, Gilligan's Island, The K-Cafe Room, and The K which aired in 1997 and was a celebrity gossip show. Kmart Affilates normally didn't last more than 5 years since the concept failed.

### 1998-2006

After the Kmart Affilate failed, The WB bought KTML making it a The WB+ network. Tristate had 2 WB Networks for some reason but since it was a big city one was for the East Side, and KTML was for the Westside, but they both aired in the same streets which made no sense.

### 2006-2009

Since The WB merged with UPN to make The CW in 2006, most WB affilates changed to The CW. The other Tristate WB Affilate became a My TV affialte since it wouldn't make sense to have two The CW affilates.

West Coast High School plans to relocate and build two new high school buildings, one in the Eastwood neighborhood and another in Downtown West Coast. The two schools will be renamed Eastwood High School and City Hall High School as a plan to get passed in the growing population of the city. West Coast School District plans on rebuilding next to the City Hall building in Downtown West Coast. "As West Coast's population has grown from 100,000 to 160,000 just this year, building a new high school building will help deal with the recent and future population growth." says Harry Bex, Superintendent of West Coast School District. West Coast High School was built in 2019 after the old building West Coast School which served Elementary, Middle and High School students, exploded from a gas leak in October, the school was then quickly rebuilt. The School District office then moved from the Merryville neighborhood to the former Plaza Dental Centers at West Coast Plaza in 2020. The new Lifestyle Center is expected to hold 15-20 tenants maybe even more.
