Lamplit Tour

In 1883, the Southern Exposition of Art, Industry, and Agriculture opened for a five year run on the 40 acre grounds that extended from Park Ave. to Hill St. and from 4th to 6th Sts. Ft. wood-framed main building was on the present site of St. James, Fountain, and Belgravia Courts. The marvel of the exposition was the largest ever display of electric lighting, 4600 Edison incandescent bulbs. It included quarters for the coachman, stables for horses and carriages, and later housed Mr. Caldwell’s finest automobiles. As the sun begins to fade, and the shadows grow longer, the staff of the Conrad-Caldwell House invite you to tour the home, guided only by the soft glow of lamps that illuminate the 10,000 sq. It sounds more like modern times than 1915, but Dr. Roy Lanterman was ahead of his time when he wanted to build a fireproof bungalow made of reinforced concrete.

Then in 1948, it was bought by the Presbyterian Church as a residence for widows until the mid-1980’s. In 1987, it was purchased by the residents of St. James Court and turned into a non-profit museum. Now a house museum, with family artifacts and period antiques on display, it provides a rare glimpse of the lives of upper-class Louisville families in that era. Finest example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in Louisville, built in 1893 on St. James Court in the Old Louisville neighborhood, which features the largest collection of Victorian homes in the U.S. Explore the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum on either a guided or self-guided tour and immerse yourself in the social history of Louisville during the early 20th century through the lens of the two philanthropic families who occupied this grand Victorian mansion. The California Museum—home of the California Hall of Fame—engages, educates and enlightens people about California’s rich history, its diversity and its unique influence on the world of ideas, innovation, art and culture.

Schindler's private residence is open to the public several days a week, and no reservations are required. One of Frank Lloyd Wright's most important works, in a style he called "California Romantic," designed in 1917 and built between 1919 and 1923 for oil heiress Aline Barnsdall. The complex includes the main house, garage, and one other surviving structure. The exterior of the Conrad-Caldwell House is made from Bedford limestone with arches, turrets, and gargoyles, making it look like a compact French castle.

The Conrad-Caldwell House symbolizes the spirit and Victorian grandeur of Louisville's Progressive Era. The veil has lifted and the home draped in traditional Victorian mourning. Learn of mourning traditions practiced during Louisville's Gilded Age, the many deaths that occurred throughout the homes history, as well as the lingering spirits who refuse to leave Louisville's Castle. You can also take a regularly scheduled tour of the Schindler-designed Mackey Apartments which are nearby.

This massive Bedford, Indiana limestone home, is covered with gargoyles, archways, and elaborate stone designs. The interior features beautiful woodwork, parquet floors and magnificent stained glass windows, making it one of the most stunning homes in Old Louisville. Begun in 1892 and taking a full three years to complete, the Conrad-Caldwell House is the masterpiece of Louisville architect Arthur Loomis of the architectural firm Clark & Loomis. At a cost of $35,000, it is one of the finest examples of a residential Richardsonian Romanesque structure.

You can see them from the outside by touring off Earl Street between Silver Lake Boulevard and Glendale Boulevard. Many consider Neutra one of the most important twentieth-century architects and this house tour gives a chance to see his home. This unusual house was designed for him by Arthur L. Haley in the Arts and Crafts style; it retains its original interiors and furnishings.

Referred to as “Conrad’s Castle,” the home at 1402 Saint James Court is known for its beautiful woodwork, parquet floors, stained glass windows and limestone exterior displaying gargoyles, massive archways and intricate architectural designs. Step back in time as you learn more about the era, the neighborhood, and the families who lived here. The museum’s interior is decorated in the Edwardian Age style, housing a massive collection of period items including many original pieces while showing-off the abundant lifestyles of the prominent businessmen and entrepreneurs who once lived in the neighborhood. The house is open for guided tours without appointment most Saturdays. After architect Rudolph Schindler came to California in the 1920s to oversee construction of Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House, he designed his residence in West Hollywood. Some say it was the first modern house to respond to California's unique climate, serving as the prototype for the distinctive California style that developed in the early twentieth century.

The St. James Court Neighborhood Association and the Belgravia Court Association manage the preservation and upkeep of Louisville’s most elegant neighborhood.

The Conrad-Caldwell house is the residential masterpiece of the long-lived Louisville architectural firm of C. Theophilus Conrad, tannery owner, built this home in the Richardsonian Romanesque style between 1893 and 1895. After Conrad’s death in 1905, the house was sold to William Caldwell, maker of wooden and steel tanks. In 1947, it was acquired by the Presbyterian Church and became a home for elderly women. The house was purchased by the St. James Court Association in 1987 and has operated as a house museum ever since. The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, also known as Conrad’s Castle, is the most stunning of Old Louisville’s homes and defines Richardsonian Romanesque architecture.

The house was built for a Frenchman who made his fortune in the leather tanning business. The St. James Court Historic Foundation purchased the home in 1987, restored it, and operates the museum today. Surrounded by a beautiful courtyard neighborhood at the center of the largest collection of Victorian Homes in the US, “Conrad’s Castle” featured all the latest innovations of its day, including interior plumbing and electric lighting. Today it's open as a museum, located in Malibu Lagoon State Park and open to the public for guided tours. If you love arts and crafts architecture, this is the house for you. A well-preserved and fascinating example of Arts and Crafts architecture, designed by Greene and Greene, it was built in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter & Gamble Company.

There’s also a ye olde English-looking billiard room up here with doors to a shallow balcony. I think in times past it’s been used as a ballroom before Caldwell. Heading up the stairs, you can better see the huge stained-glass window (which opens!) and a large tapestry. It sounds like they are saving up funds to see if they can get the tapestry restored. Historical Marker #2426 in Louisville recognizes the Conrad-Caldwell House, a grand example of late Victorian architecture.

Pocket doors have one color of wood on the inside and another on the outside. The home is located in historic St. James Court which is distinguished by the diversity of the individual mansions. As elsewhere in Old Louisville, the homes built just after the Exposition are more picturesque than many of those built earlier or later. The first of nine houses to be renovated in the 1960s that were purchased for $110,000.

The house is located at the crest of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Mulholland Drive and is open for guided tours by reservation only. The house is owned by the MAK Center, which also runs the Schindler House and you'll find details about the tours at the MAK Center website. Enjoy a collection of fascinating, historic pieces of Los Angeles architecture that were built as private residences. This International style residence predates the mid-century modern styles that followed it, but it feels like it could have been part of the case study movement of the late 1940s and 1950s. You've seen this iconic mid-century house and its view countless times in films, advertisements, and magazines.

This venue is also available for hosting corporate meetings, holiday parties, birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions. A review by the Guardian identified 54 fatal shootings over the past decade by Bakersfield police and Kern County sheriff’s deputies. At least 49 of the 54 were publicly ruled justified by panels of senior officers from the same department as the officers who fired.

Nesmith had a rough shooting night (3-of-13), but he came up clutch on multiple occasions down the stretch. First, at the end of regulation, he made two pressurized free throws to give the Pacers a three-point lead. Then, as time wound down in overtime, he hit the biggest shot of his career to date. Officer Timothy Berchtold, for instance, shot and killed three people in the span of less than two months in 2010. Two of those he shot were unarmed and accused of a strikingly similar offence – reversing a car they were driving towards Berchtold.

AFFAIRS to REMEMBER is Atlanta’s most sustainable and luxurious catering and event producer with over 40 years of industry experience. Our success is attributable to our innovative menus, impeccable service, inspiring reliability, and immaculate attention to detail. High ceilings, period furnishings and towering archways are some of the venue’s most impressive features, and it’s no surprise that it’s been used over the decades as a go-to location for many elegant events.

Our extensive list includes options to suit a range of culinary styles and budgets. In addition to food, all approved caterers will provide staff (including bartenders), dinnerware, and sometimes linen. The Wimbish House is a historic venue that provides the enchanting backdrop for multiple Candlelight concerts, but it’s not the only incredible venue in Atlanta hosting these unforgettable musical experiences. Several magnificent locations across the city including The Trolley Barn and The Chapel on Sycamore have welcomed this series of candlelit concerts over the years and continue to light up with the warm glow of candlelight. The Wimbish House is an ideal location for hosting private parties of varying sizes.

The Atlanta Woman’s Club celebrated the success of their efforts to get women admitted to University of Georgia and included as doctors at the State Hospital for the mentally ill. In 1935 when President Roosevelt visited Georgia, the Atlanta Woman's Club president served on the welcoming committee. The Club was also behind a committee to plant an eventual 1,000 dogwood trees in the city of Atlanta.

None of the four men killed in these confrontations were armed with a deadly firearm themselves. One, a violent criminal, had a BB gun; another was holding a tire iron. More vocal champions of women's liberation were effecting change throughout the country through protests and marches, whereas GFWC club members were used to working through legislative and other more traditional avenues. But the times were changing and the Georgia Federation of Women's Club president showed up at her installation banquet wearing of all things...

The Wimbish House is conveniently located in the heart of Midtown at the intersection of 14th and Peachtree streets. This venue is within walking distance of fine hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, shops, Piedmont Park, Woodruff Arts Center and the High Museum. Subsequent interviews conducted by Bakersfield police investigators suggest there was a lack of preparation and coordination among the police, who apparently had no plan for a confrontation. First, Wimbish was the most experienced officer to open fire during an operation to capture a fugitive one night in September 2013, which was bungled to deadly consequence in the parking lot of Bakersfield’s Four Points Sheraton hotel. Rick Wimbish, a Bakersfield native described by one person who worked with him as “a cop to his marrow”, is a department veteran of almost a quarter of a century. For several of those years, his father Mack, a retired state highway patrolman, was the sheriff of all Kern County.

Members of all ages have opportunities for personal growth and enrichment through leadership training and development. Every Georgia clubwoman is also a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC). Over the past 38 years, Proof of the Pudding has maintained its distinctive and personal style, setting it apart from other caterers and food service management companies.

De La Rosa had just been shot dead by police officers in Bakersfield, the biggest city in this central California county, after crashing his car when they tried to pull him over. Now the 22-year-old oilfield worker lay on a gurney in the successor to the coroner’s office where Tom Joad’s granma awaited a pauper’s funeral in the 1939 novel. In the second decade of the 1900s the Club became increasingly concerned about drug abuse and juvenile justice. The club campaigned against drugs, worked with prisoners in the city stockade and women's jail, and campaigned against the exploitation of minors. The GFWC clubwomen were so effective that the New York Times commended them for their ability to work quietly behind the scenes in getting their men folk to bring about social reform such as ending the evil system of leasing convicts.

Guests appreciated the convenient location and proximity to hotels and restaurants. Despite minor challenges such as limited parking and a list of preferred caterers, reviewers highly recommended The Wimbish House for its overall beauty, excellent service, and smooth execution of weddings. The experienced, responsive, and courteous events team at The Wimbish House will ensure your wedding is memorable and completely stress-free. Six of the people killed this year in Kern County died from shots fired by officers of Bakersfield police department, who have been behind a string of controversial homicides over the past several years, including that of De La Rosa.

Decades after the dustbowl, the local economy is still not strong. The jobs market in Bakersfield, long centred around the energy industry, has suffered from the sharp decline in oil prices. Unemployment now stands at 9.2%, significantly higher than California’s 6.3% average and the national 5.5%.

The Club members presented both a play and vocal performance highlighting the history of the Club. They offered programs related to music, opera, writing, antiques, and art. Club members became interested in helping the mentally, physically and developmentally disabled. They promoted the early use of seat belts, and continued their focus on juveniles by advocating their release out of Georgia prisons. They supported the passage of the Fugitive Fathers bill, and pushed for the development of programs for rehabilitating prisoners. As always they continued to focus on to Talullah Falls School and supported a plan to modernize the school by adding a President's House, an athletic field, and modern classroom buildings.

It has two great pianos, is in the heart of midtown, and has an upscale feel without being too huge or intimidating. If Middleton's shot to force overtime wasn't crazy enough, he nearly forced another extra frame with an even more ridiculous shot. After Nesmith's 3-pointer in the corner, the Bucks called timeout and drew up a play for Middleton to come off a screen from Brook Lopez and catch the ball at the top of the key. Another fatal shooting this year, however, was more questionable. A nationwide Gallup survey last year found that among metropolitan areas, only California’s Fresno and Stockton-Lodi had a smaller proportion of residents than Bakersfield who said they “always feel safe and secure” in their city. Drug addiction – specifically methamphetamine – was cited repeatedly by police as the engine for the city’s crime problem.

In the 1930s the speculation of the 1920s caught up with reality resulting in the Great Depression. Of course this created additional opportunities for philanthropy and social service, but the cost of club work and the members’ financial conditions were also of concern. The Atlanta Woman's Club members were thrifty and managed to continue to work on a wide variety of projects. AWC club women also continued to sponsor programs to educate themselves and the community about family finance as women became more responsible for supplementing for providing family income.

Many women continued to believe that the Atlanta Woman’s Club’s headquarters, Wimbish House, located in downtown Atlanta was dangerous and the membership grew smaller and older. Nonetheless, the Club continued to pursue its mission, including supporting Bicentennial events, raising money for a chapel at Tallulah Falls School, and working to save the historic Fox Theater from destruction. Thanks to its intricate detailing and massive stone masonry ornamentation, the venue makes for a timeless event space that is used frequently to host weddings and more.

But there has been no eruption of unrest in Bakersfield over the actions of Wimbish or other officers involved in the killings of De La Rosa or Ramirez. Even as protests have rippled out from Ferguson, few out-of-town demonstrators have journeyed north from Los Angeles to show solidarity. Chief Williamson allowed three weeks to elapse before admitting that Ramirez had been working with the police. By then, the 32-year-old had been dismissed on the local TV news as merely the second man in a “suspect vehicle”. Even as he confirmed the true nature of Ramirez’s participation, Williamson blamed him for his own death. “He could easily have moved his hands above his head,” he told reporters.

Holcombe and his chief dismissed that repeat involvement in shootings could raise concerns. “I don’t know what the chances are, this occurring to somebody,” said Williamson, but “we have other officers that have been in multiple shootings”. Jason Alderman’s family refuse to believe it, but police say he was trying to rob a closed Subway restaurant one Saturday evening in August. He was confronted abruptly by Bakersfield officers Wimbish and Garrett, both veterans of the deadly Ramirez sting operation. The pair was responding to an unrelated call-out when they spotted Alderman, according to police records.

The experienced, responsive and courteous events team at The Wimbish House will ensure your wedding is memorable and completely stress-free. The Wimbish House is a beautiful and elegant wedding venue located in midtown Atlanta. Multiple reviewers praised the venue's stunning decor, spacious rooms, and multiple areas for different events. The wedding coordinators, especially Karin, were highly praised for their professionalism and attention to detail.

In 2012, officer Albert Smith was jailed after not disputing charges of having sex with prostitutes, allegedly in his patrol car. In 2013, Detective Christopher Bowersox was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to possessing images of violent sexual abuse of children. Scant local concern has been roused even as a string of BPD officers have been arrested in recent years.

The marquee races include a pair of incumbent House members — Republican Neal Dunn and Democrat Al Lawson — facing off against each other in a north Florida district that leans GOP. Lawson’s majority-Black district was scrapped by the Legislature, which adopted a congressional map pushed by DeSantis, prompting a lawsuit alleging unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. But that’s little solace for voters worried about inflation, crime and abortion rights in this midterm election. Frost, a 25-year-old gun reform and social justice activist, ran in a heavily blue Orlando-area district being relinquished by Democratic Rep. Val Demings, who challenged Republican Sen. Marco Rubio this year.

Yet internal statistics show 74% of the roughly 390 sworn officers of Bakersfield police department are white, with only 21% Hispanic and less than 5% African American. Taken aback by officers pouring on to the scene, Harger drew a pistol. In an intense gun battle that ensued, Harger struck one officer and was blown away by police fire. The officers he was assisting shot him 10 times – three times in the chest, three times in his left leg, and once each in the face, buttocks, hip area and shoulder. Designed in the eclectic French Renaissance Revival, or Chateuesque, style, this lovely Victorian-era home is distinguished by steep gables, intricate detailing, and massive stone masonry ornamentation.

We are a house with a ballroom attached – there are a variety of possible seating options depending on how you are using the venue. A disturbing violent crime was at the heart of the third of four fatal shootings involving senior officer Wimbish. One Friday in March this year, Adrian Hernandez sexually assaulted a woman he was living with in south-west Bakersfield. According to police, he tied up her hands and tried to drown her in the bath, before dousing her and the house in a flammable liquid and setting a fire. But today’s generation of immigrants complain of hostility from a department that is unrepresentative of the people it polices. After rapid growth in Bakersfield’s population during the past decade to about 360,000, 46% of residents are Hispanic, 38% white, and 8% African American.

Khris Middleton has had his fair share of clutch moments for the Bucks over the years, including a game-tying shot from the hashmark with 0.5 seconds left in the 2018 playoffs against the Boston Celtics. Late in regulation on Friday, he pulled off a repeat from nearly the exact same spot. Sgt Holcombe, who has lived in Bakersfield nearly his entire life and has never had to fire his service weapon, said that officers are not just “willy-nilly taking people’s lives”. Five days after the shooting, however, investigators working for Alderman’s family made a discovery. The police had quietly seized it from the Subway manager, who had been asked not to disclose what it showed.

Chandeliers and original fireplaces have been fitted in almost every room, and the venue itself was actually added to the list of National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Designed in the eclectic French Renaissance Revival, or Chateau-esque, style, this lovely Victorian-era home is distinguished by steep gables, intricate detailing, and massive stone masonry ornamentation. Perhaps the only downside of Middleton's banked-in 3 to tie the game from the Bucks' perspective is that he made it with 6.7 seconds remaining, which gave the Pacers a lot of time to respond. Rick Carlisle took advantage by drawing up a play to get Haliburton the ball in the backcourt, which allowed his point guard to build up a head of steam towards the basket.

The Grand Opera House, located in downtown Wilmington, is celebrating its 150th birthday this season. This historic theater has been a landmark for the residents of Wilmington and the surrounding region since 1871. Originally home to the Grand Lodge of the Masons, the Grand has since played host to thousands of renowned entertainers and performing artists.

FIRST TIME AT THE OPERA? WHAT TO EXPECT

Patrons are also welcome to bring their own refreshments to outdoor performances at the OperaDelaware Studios. Commissioned by the Delaware Grand Lodge of Masons, a fraternal Freemason organization, the Grand Opera House originally served as a temple and an auditorium. It was designed in the Second Empire style by Wilmington native Thomas Dixon, a prominent architect. The design of the Grand Opera House is notable for its use of cast iron and for the Freemasonry symbolism incorporated into its facade. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural importance. With more than 120 performances a year, the Grand’s three venues offer the very best entertainment options and something to please every taste.

The Grand Opera House, also known as The Grand or Masonic Hall and Grand Theater, is a 1,208-seat theater for the performing arts in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The four-story building was built in 1871 by the Delaware Grand Lodge of Masons to serve as a Masonic Temple and auditorium. The construction cost was $100,000.[2] It was designed in Second Empire style by Baltimore architect Thomas Dixon and incorporates symbolism from Freemasonry into the cast-iron facade.

THE PLAYHOUSE

Before it was a movie theater, however, it hosted many operas, symphonies, burlesque shows, vaudeville, and minstrel shows. It reopened in 1971, partnering with classical institutions such as the First State Ballet Theatre and the Delaware Symphony Orchestra. The building was acquired by a non-profit arts organization in 1973, which has organized its shows and events ever since. In its first season of operation, the Grand presented more than seventy performances that included everything from serious dramas to minstrel shows to lectures and exhibitions.
