Research Paper on Dyckman Farm House and Museum

Tucked away in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, you will find one of the historic houses built. The Bellamy Mansion. Constructed in 1859 and finally finished in 1861 It is massive in size and also one of the last houses built by slaves. This place is full of history at every turn. It is even rumored to be haunted.

I wanted to hear more about the story of the family, Judge, and Mrs. E. B. Crocker and how and why they were so generous with their artwork. We first started in the new part of the house, where the modern art is displayed, and then we proceeded to go to the older part, which is inside two old houses, so I loved seeing all the old architecture and walking through all the rooms imagine what it was like when people lived there. My favorite part of this whole visit was when, I was trying to find out how the museum acquired all this artwork and

Throughout the history of this nearly century and a half old building many have speculated and debated its former past. This exhibition presents images of the historic Lin Hall

A sophisticated house or dumpy gas station catches the eye for a moment then becomes lost amongst other thoughts. However, like the art in our homes, a building's purpose is not to be stared at like a museum painting. They influence the mood of those who occupy the space. Even for people who live far away, it creates a happy thoughtfulness that these places still exist in our throwaway

Quiet and unassuming, a modest-looking house lies in the middle of a vast, empty plain, located away from the city and close to the pastoral natural world. Separated from the forceful influences of conformity, but still in touch with the surrounding world, this house is free to think, feel, and experience as it pleases. That’s because this house represents more than the entirety of its physical and visual features; it is a metaphor for my memories, ambitions, secrets, feelings, and emotions.

The museum is home to many different features of life on the farm and exhibits on display are a miniature farm, a collection of antique tractors, a train caboose, antique gas powered engines, and the famous 'Windmill Lane' - over forty windmills. Open seasonally from May to October, visitors are adviced to call before visiting the museum.

wished to house these museums in preexisting period homes. Not only did these homes serve as museums, they also frequently served as backdrops for Nutting’s photographs. Despite the failure of his

Medina, Ohio is a historic town with small local businesses, and friendly people walking the street in every direction you look. Driving through Medina, I passed a long section of chain retailers and restaurants: Walmart, Target, Burger King, McDonalds lining both sides of the busy Route 42. Just after passing the Target, there is a green road sign “Historic Neighborhood 1830-1940.” After passing a section of the residential area the road became full of traffic again as I entered the Medina Square. In the center of the square is a gazebo, often filled with families or wedding parties taking pictures. On the other side of the road sits dozens of miniscule attractions. Some of these attractions include All Fired Up which is a paint your own pottery studio, restaurants such as Dan’s Dogs, Lemonberry and House of Hunan, and museums like Castle Noel. On the Northwest corner of the Medina Square sits a small, independently owned coffee shop, Cool Beans Cafe.

During its construction, it was noticed that there was not suitable access to bring the food inside the room. The only existing accesses for this purpose where through the Marble Hall and through the Sculpture Gallery, something that wasn’t functional. Finally, in October 1753, Brettingham came up with the solution of having “an additional access via a hidden staircase in the interior courtyard, opening into an apse from which footmen could enter the Dining Room with food carried along ground-floors corridors from the kitchen.” The kitchen was finalized in 1756, which ended up being a large and well-designed space. “It rose through two storeys, with windows to north and south: ventilation grilles in the ceiling were connected to flues to carry off the steam.” Additionally, when Brettingham published his work done in Holkham Hall, he also mentioned the type of technology that was used for this country house, such as the sanitation, water supply and heating systems and

Built in 1852, the Snowden-Gray House was the home of Civil War Gov. David Tod and has been restored to its glorious 19th century splendor. The Heritage Museum depicts the daily life and culture of the Victorian era with an emphasis on the lives and roles of women.

During the 1600's Amsterdam's population was growing rapidly. It quickly became necessary to increase in size in order to accommodate the abundance of new occupants. The community now know as the Jordaans was built in 1612 in the western part of Grachtengordel, it was decided that this area would be for the working class. All of the streets and building were developed around old trails and ditches which is why it looks different from the rest of Amsterdam. The first residence of the Jordanns were fortunate that at the time there was much need for sailors, carpenters and other workers. Soon small rooms and attics were being rented out to whole families, due to lack of housing. Home owners began adding on extra rooms, building up making the streets appear narrower. Back houses were also constructed and were reachable through small ally ways that were no more than one meter wide. Most tenets of the Jordaans wanted to escape the crowded streets and poverty that surrounded them but there were no escapes. Some of the weathey donated money to build the Westerkerk Church, the famous artist Rembrandt is in fact buried in a pauper's grave. The church gave the community members a place to avoid the slums of their neighborhood.

Growing up in your grandparent’s house is a wish that many kids have. As a kid your grandparents are the people who tend to spoil you rotten and let you do things that your parents wouldn’t let you do. What young kid wouldn’t find that appealing? I know I did, however, my wish happened to come true. I grew up in my grandparent’s house until I was about six years old. I remember hearing the six o’clock siren which meant it was time to eat, or seeing the street light come on which meant it was time to come in for the night. I walk around and see empty lots where houses once were. I notice new buildings in place of old ones and new people rather than the regulars. From time to time I make my way back to Fessenden North Dakota to visit with my grandparents. In doing so, I have witnessed many changes to not only the town but to their house.

Herman, the part of rural Minnesota no one even knows exists, population 426. The worn down elementary school, the old elevator, post office, liquor store, and bank. That’s it. That’s all that exists in the tiny town. Broken, crumbling roads. Houses falling to pieces, lawns overgrown with weeds. Everything falling apart. Except there’s my grandparents’ house. The tall, wooden brown house perfectly put together on the edge of town, towering over everything that used to be.

From Kildale our route crosses the river Leven and then follows the road to Bankside Farm. The farmhouse building reflects the style of a Danish longhouse. Traditionally, longhouses were built length­wise down the slope of a hill; they had a living area, out­buildings, cowshed and pigsty in-line. The farmer and his family lived at the higher end of the building; their livestock occupied the lower levels,

When I woke up on the bus I could tell we weren’t in Lancaster anymore. Arriving at Philadelphia seemed like we were farther than just an hour away. It seemed like we time traveled. The Italian Market looked like it didn’t urbanize, only the surrounding community did. All around us were these tiny “mom and pop” stores. They had your traditional hanging signs with the stores’ name. They didn’t light up, rotate, or have many colors. The roads and streets were significantly smaller than the average. The sidewalks were packed with people selling things on stands and shoppers. The different aromas filled the air. The south 19th street was lined with different stores that appeared to be trapped in the early 20th century. Some of the stores have been there since the very beginning of the Italian Market. Instead of a giant grocery store in those times, you had to go to different stores that specialized in different things. Therefore as you walked down the street each store had a distinct aroma. If you didn’t look at the sign, just by the smell you could tell what they sold. Everything was made fresh which made the smells so strong.
