“Arkansas Made is clearly organized, a necessity for tackling the extensive subject matter. This substantial effort requires two volumes; these are like handsome fraternal twins who are identical in origin but differ in appearance and interests. … Arkansas Made is … an exceptional publication, an absorbing reference book in the guise of coffee-table volumes, distinguished by relevant technical, cultural, and historical information. … In presenting objects, rather than depending on narratives, Arkansas Made provides a less familiar lens to view Arkansas history. It delivers convincing support of the authors’ argument about the underrecognized richness of the state’s history. The impressive number and variety of objects presented, from Elsie Bates Freund’s inventive modern jewelry to humble stoneware crocks, belie a simple narrative about Arkansas’s past, and create a compelling portrayal of the more varied lives of the many individuals who created and lived amongst these objects.” —Catherine Wallack, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, Spring 2022 https://lnkd.in/gWM7w2C4

DID YOU KNOW? New York City’s historic armories can be seen all around the city, and are currently used for all kinds of purposes in addition to some that retain their original function. They were built between the 18th and 20th centuries for New York State volunteer militia, serving as storage of arms and housing. These monumental fortresses were meant to remind the public of the military’s might and ability to maintain domestic law. Thankfully for us, the militia took great care in designing their fortresses and we have been left with remarkable armories that remind us of an important time in our city’s history. Some still function as National Guard posts, but many have been repurposed since the mid-20th century. 📷 Pictured is an armory right in our backyard. Rose Hill Armory Hall, Fordham University Rose Hill Campus [Built in 1838] Rose Hill Armory Hall at Fordham University in the Bronx dates back to when the university was known as St. John’s College. This building is the second Rose Hill Manor House, which contained an armory inside. The second manor house replaced an earlier one which according to legend was a headquarters for George Washington during the American Revolution. Today, it houses Campus Administration for Fordham. Lothrop Associates Architects has partnered with Fordham University on projects throughout the campus. We are a full-service architectural and interior design firm that has been servicing the higher education institutional market for more than 50 years. Clients include SUNY Westchester Community College, State University of New York at Plattsburgh, State University of New York Cortland, Columbia University, Sarah Lawrence College, State University of New York Maritime College, and Baruch College ... just to name a few. #architecture #design #historic

Happy Wednesday!! 😀 It's NATIONAL PRESERVATION MONTH! Author | C. Knighten National Preservation Month, also known as Historic Preservation Month is celebrated during the month of May to remind us about our Nation's heritage. Pervserving our historic buildings and homes is very important to our Nation and communities. Across our country, organizations promote various activities within our communities on the local, state and National levels. Preserving these places helps us to remember our History and the stories associated with each. Understanding our history is the key to improving our future. Without our history (ies) we might forget the lessons we have learned and should never repeat. Whether the story is found in your local library or your grandmother's attic, peeling back the layers of time🕰 helps us understand the past. Keeping these stories alive helps us provide a rich and textured history of the people who worked and lived there. Our imaginations can then begin to understand their hardships, what they overcame, and the difficult decisions they made in the face of adversity.

Our first project last year that got Community Planning Collaborative going. I absolutely loved working on this project, as historic research is one of my most favorite things to do. One of my goals for this year is to get the word our more about this project, and the great work the Florida Chitlin' Circuit Group is doing. The Group is a collective of several Florida Main Street communities working together to document and highlight their Chitlin' Circuit heritage as a means of historic preservation and economic vitality. Research from this project has identified that the Chitlin’ Circuit existed in large part because of what has been identified as “the stroll,” a term coined by musician Walter Barnes in the 1930s to describe commercial and entertainment areas in Black neighborhoods across the country. Florida Main Streets in Black communities are historic evidence of the stroll. These districts, with dance halls, bars, juke joints, and clubs, provided the backbone in which the Chitlin’ Circuit thrived. The Chitlin' Circuit can't be separated from the larger environmental context of neighborhoods and communities. We hope this information will help inform historic preservation efforts, as well as urban planning efforts. I've had two interactions with fellow experienced planners recently that had limited to no knowledge of the history of Black commercial districts and how that played a role in neighborhood history, culture and development. We hope research like this will be of aid. You can download the report at the Florida Chitlin' Circuit group website and learn more: https://lnkd.in/eFjF9cXs #historicpreservation #culturalheritage #blackhistory #urbanplanning #mainstreet
🙏Looking back on our first year, we are grateful for the first project that got us started. 🎵 The Florida Chitlin' Circuit Research and Documentation Project was completed through a partnership of several Florida Main Street communities and funded by a Florida Division of Historical Resources grant. We took a deep dive into the history of the Circuit in Florida and venues in Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Fort Pierce, and Eatonville. Thanks to the graphic design skills of Karen Essic, this report really came together and we are so proud of it. 🌟Check it out when you get a chance!
