Memorial Hall

various points scattered about (Seven). Although quite similar to the Gothic Style, Norman Style focuses more on massive rounded arches and spatial areas (Normal). Formed in 1863, the Ware and Van Brunt partnership consisted of William Robert Ware and Henry Van Brunt. Ware was an engineer specialist, leaving Brunt as the designer. In 1865, Ware would become the head of the school of architecture at MIT, which held one of the oldest architecture programs in the United States. Sadly, the practiced ended in 1881 in result of Ware moving to New York and establishing Columbia University’s own school of architecture. Together the pair constructed several institutions, churches, and residential buildings. Arguably, their most well known work in Memorial Hall located at Harvard, which was completed in 1878 (Ware). Considered the Grand Central Station of Worcester, the station would service the Boston & Albany, Providence & Worcester, and the Norwich & Fitchburg lines. Ten thousand passengers, on a daily bases, would make their way in 1898. However, the station, and the city itself, could simply not, safely, handle the vast amount of traffic coming though. At the time, grade crossings, trolley tracks, and intersecting roads were becoming a bigger and bigger problem (Arsenault). By the early twentieth century, not only did the tracks need to be replaced, but the businesses in surrounding mills were becoming more successful, it was decided that a New Union Station would be built.…

orphanage: Wendy McGuire, 8, Jeremy Nichols, 11, and Samuel Allard, 8.” I drop the newspaper. I don’t fuck with haunted orphanages. That might be the last thing I fuck with. I run out of the office but forget which way to go. My instinct tells me left so I take it. And then another left. I find my way to the spelling room, but something catches my eye. I look at the chalkboard that displayed roughly seven words last time I checked. The only word on the board now is “help”. I turn to sprint down…

The hallway is lit by a single light attached to the middle of the popcorn ceiling. There used to be two lights but one bulb flickered and died leaving the hallway dim. The popcorn ceiling is picked off and gone in some spots, mostly around the light and close to the walls. There are also a few tan stains that are darker around the edges and lighter almost white as they go in. The stains might be water stains from who ever lived in the house before. The flooring in the hallway is a worn dark…

“Basically, why are you here? I think.” I asked a final time, and Hugh took a closer look inside the cell at the man, his face rested against the bars. Hugh showed no fear. The man leapt up and took the notepad from the rock. He scurried to the puddle, fiddling for the pencil which lay submerged in the filthy water. I urged him to talk to me. “Ne!” he harked back at me, as best he could. His mood had changed. He pulled his hand away from the puddle clutching the pencil, and he scribbled…

exception. While the schools have many areas under control, the hallways at Highland and the cafeteria at Lacey are still an issue. By focusing on consistent adult interactions to uphold behavioral expectations, better hallway and cafeteria management will result for both Lacey Elementary and Highland High School. Student Characteristics, Issues, and Factors Most students at Highland and Lacey are very responsible. They know the expectations and act appropriately. While most would think…

quiet that comes with the snowfall when every living animal is hiding at home where it’s warm. The Dungeon looked like hell but felt like Heaven. This was one ritual that she didn’t understand the point of. There were many in her community, all of which had practical purposes. This one was one of the more ridiculous ones, sending children to this hallway and then not letting them out until they passed the criteria and were allowed back home. They had to wander these halls until the elders or…

towards building a monument, it should be for a good purpose. One instance of a questionable choice in monument construction is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. When plans were announced to construct the building, much controversy arose. An article on Suite101.com by Christine Musser stated that "the controversy grew from Jewish and non-Jewish communities, primarily due to the fact that a museum dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust would be built in the United…

Indianapolis, Indiana, Is a beautiful city. It is home to numerous war memorials, second only to Washington, DC. However, it is a long way from my home town in Louisiana and not only in distance. I relocated to Indiana temporarily for a job almost a year ago, before the job was completed I was asked to take a permanent position. So my new ‘home’ town is now Indianapolis. I decided to embrace this with this essay, so I began to look for a site-specific public sculptor that has meaning to…
