Built in the 1750’s the Steeple Building was the first Danish Lutheran church on St. Croix. Located on Company Street, Christiansted, the official name of this building is The Church of our Lord God of Sabaoth. It was the representation of the Danish state religion from 1754-1831. Both government administration and the fort’s garrison were required to worship at the Steeple Building. The Steeple Building was not only used as a place of worship. Official proclamations were read from the pulpit within the church. One of those official proclamations was the abolition of the Danish slave trade. The building was also used as a military bakery and storehouse (1841-1909), Sunday school and Town Hall (1909-1916), Hospital (1916 & 1925), Town Hall and School (1925-1954), and Historic site and museum (1964- present). …show more content…
A few included: To focus the attention of the people towards heaven; to house the church bell. Steeples were built higher than surrounding building so that the bells could be heard from a far distance. The bells were used for emergencies and also to announce that a community meeting was about to begin. The people would follow the sounds of the bell to find the church. The Steeple Building douse house a bell. Other additions to the Building includes clocks and a weathervane located at the very top. The Steeple Building was built by the Danish West Indies and Guinea Company. Initial construction of the Steeple Building began in 1750 and was completed in 1753. The baroque tower and cupola were built about forty years after the initial construction. The church of the entire building is a rectangular masonry structure. It measures 28 x 88 feet. The Steeple measures 15 x 18 at ground level and is 77 feet
The Redmond Barry Building is located at the University of Melbourne Parkville Campus. This building was called the North Building, and later renamed after Sir Redmond Barry. He was the founder of the University of Melbourne and he was first chancellor in 1853. The architects of this building was Rae Featherson together with Eggleston MacDonald and Secomb. The building is officially opened in 22 November 1961. The function of this building is home to the faculty of science majoring in Biology and Psychology students. Most of the first year students would have their biology practical in this building.
These structures are meant to summon spirits, serve as a place to pray, sing, dance, and much more. Another reason cultures build religious structures, is so
Our nation's revolution was a great achievement in U.S History. With the dawn of a new nation, there would have to be a central location to make the new decisions of our country. Our capitol has stood as the heart of our country since the late 1700s. The United States capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. For almost two centuries it has housed the meeting chambers of the senate and the House of Representatives. Begun in 1793, the capitol building has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored. Today our capitol stands as a monument to the American people and their government. (AOC.gov)
Archaeologists and historians are yet to determine what it was used/built for, however there are multiple interpretations. Some of these interpretations include but are not limited too:
It was built on a rocky point in 1877 and has become an incredibly popular destination for tourists. With a light scope of around nine miles, the structure consists of a round brick tower and a gallery within the Keeper's House. Visitors can tour the site and, afterwards, climb the 120 steps to the tower's peak to take in a bird's eye view of the town.
This feature was added to the courthouse in 1884. Past this door is a spiral staircase that winds to the clock tower base. This room is surrounded by floor to ceiling wood paneling. Large picturesque windows are covered with white shutters that when opened; display an impressive view of Albany. The only access to the clock mechanism and bell tower is a handcrafted, wooden ladder that leads upward, nearly at a 90-degree angle through a square hole in the ceiling. The clock tower is encased in raw wood with modern conduit containing electrical mechanisms. The bell tower extends upward from this room to complete the pinnacle of this the
Monuments are a way of remembering the past and either honoring or celebrating a person or event. Monuments can teach people and help to preserve a memory or spread awareness. Furthermore, when a group or agency wants to memorialize an event or person and create a monument there are factors it should consider, such as the location, the monument itself and the significance.
Being a Bunker Hill Community College student is not that easy unless you are associated with all the useful and valuable sources provided all over the school. As I seamlessly move from my high school experiences into a two-year college at Bunker Hill, I was so anxious to explore new things in the new college world. After I come to this college, I found that this college has many friendly and helpful resources that help me engaging myself in the new world. For example, I found that the admissions office staff members are very helpful in providing student information. Besides that, the school mentors are also helpful for bringing new students on a tour around Bunker Hill Community College. Furthermore, Life map Centre staff members are also very friendly in helping students organize their study plan and to register for class. The most interesting part is I found a reliable resource called A.C.E Mentor that tremendously could help the students to succeed in their classes.
The Egyptian pyramids have been the subject of many outlandish claims and construction theories for centuries. The Great Pyramid for example has been associated with pyramid power, curses, Atlantis, Mexican pyramids, Stonehenge, Nazca, the Bermuda Triangle, Biblical prophecy, Martian faces, advanced civilizations, space aliens, cavity resonators, and even levitation. It is not surprising that some who have proposed such theories have been dubbed "pyramidiots". This paper will attempt to give a more logical solution to the methods ancient Egyptians may have had used, and the problems they may have had, using factual information, scientific evidence and a bit of common sense.
a. The product is identical (ie, aluminum), all the companies procure the same resources to make production with same production line and process. The firms only differentiate in terms of controlling and lowering the variable cost in order to make a profit as a price-takers. Pricing is somehow fix in global level as aluminum is openly traded in the financial market.
There are rumors going about the White Spire. The mages murmur about a murderer in their midst (Alliteration), careful to keep their conversations behind closed doors and their voices hushed. They believe the murderer to be a corrupt templar, or perhaps even a virulent traitor among their own kin. The truth is far more extreme and inexplicable than they realize, however. The murderer of the White Spire is Cole. What Cole exactly is, not even he knows. Perhaps he is simply a boy that was forgotten and left to rot in the tower’s dungeon, emaciated and dying, and twisted his magic into a new form to survive. Perhaps he’s a lost spirit, confused and disconcerted, or a demon, using the blood he spilt to sustain himself in the physical realm. Whatever
The venture to build the Sacré-Coeur (Basilica of the Sacred Heart) was started by a gathering of compelling individuals. Their motivation to construct this landmark was two-crease: they had vowed to manufacture a congregation if Paris got away unscathed from the war with the Prussians and they saw the thrashing of the French because of
This construction was started building in 1575 by Paris architect Jacques Germain Soufflot. He designed and took charge of it. This task takes during 34 years and just finished until 1791.
Larkin put "The Building" in the middle of his collection for a reason, it is a pillar that supports the rest of the collection with its long lines and many verses, and because of this, is maybe a bit more clearer than some of his other poems in the ideas and views that are expressed through it. Of course, being a Larkin a poem, there is the obligatory underlayer which so many people miss, but in "The Building" it is easier to discern and comprehend.
Finally, many tools were used to document our site visits that would used during the modeling of the buildings. As stated before, PlanGrid was very useful when viewing the construction sheets. PlanGrid was used on an iPad for easy access during the site visit. The iPad, as well as our phones, was used to take pictures of any notable changes or major features of the buildings. The pictures were used as references during the modeling portion of the project. A measuring tape was also used to take the dimensions of sections of the buildings that were not clearly labeled on the construction sheets. For example, the Architecture Annex’s terrance needed a measuring tape to measure its dimensions because the top-down view was absent from the
