Pelham Ridge Elementary School was designed by Goodwyn Mills Cawood. Pelham Ridge Elementary is the first new construction school designed for the newly-formed Pelham City School Board. The new elementary school is a two-story brick and stone building with wood elements, which reflects the desired character and materiality of the existing schools in the district. Pelham Ridge incorporates a variety of learning environments in addition to the typical classroom. These supplemental learning spaces include two “break-out” learning spaces, a flexible classroom, and two courtyards. Two of the classroom wings adjacent to the courtyards are designed to function as storm shelters and meet the Alabama Building Commission’s state standard for storm shelters, ICC 500.

In a special summer UrbanPlan Scholars program, four teams presented their proposals for a six-acre parcel next to UH West Oahu. They had to address zoning requirements, affordable housing/workforce housing, rail/transit issues, agriculture, and energy.
UrbanPlan is a global competition run by the international Urban Land Institute. Hawaii schools have taken top honors in the global competition two years in a row, including Iolani School last month, and Iolani and Kalani two years ago.
Teams were made up of local high school students from Iolani, Kalani, LeJardin, MidPac, Punahou, and St. Andrews.
They conducted outreach to stakeholders and residents in West Oahu and found affordable housing to be the number one community need.
Ideas ranged from rooftop greenhouses and beekeeping to fully solar-powered facilities to integrating UHWO student and campus life.
Judges included Bob Harrison (FHB), Duff Janus (ASB), Brennon Morioka (UH), Mike Gabbard (Senate), Jim Houchens (Mitre), and Alana Kobayashi.
Bernice Glenn Bowers helped them plan for future high-tech industry in the area, doubled the size of the cash prize to $1,500.

Cape Elizabeth Maine
Completed in 1790
The Portland Head Light was the first lighthouse to be constructed in Maine and the first one completed and put into service by the Federal government under the Lighthouse Act of 1789, which moved to place all lighthouses under federal control. While work had begun on the lighthouse in 1787 by the State of Massachusetts which, at that time, had jurisdiction over Maine, it was completed by the Federal government. When this lighthouse was being built, Portland was the sixth largest port in the country, the closest port to Europe and had significant trade with the Caribbean. Lighted in January 1791 by the Federal government, the lighthouse served a major role in protecting the economic investment made in this area. It facilitated shipping and, thereby, played an important role in the national economy by keeping the shipping routes safe and minimizing losses.
Since this was the first lighthouse completed under the Federal government's jurisdiction, President Washington gave it his personal attention. He ordered that it be constructed of rubblestone taken from the fields and shores of Cape Elizabeth. The use of local construction materials minimized construction costs and served as a model for future projects. It has also served as a model of how existing projects may be adapted to better serve the public as needs change. Although fitted with numerous different lenses as technology changed and altered in height to improve visibility, the tower has never been rebuilt.

One for my Geotechnical engineering friends at NU.
The problem is not that it settled, but that it didn't settle evenly....
Note the patched cracks in the mortar. Over on the right side, where my wife is standing, is a matching set of them flanking this over-stable corner of the building.
Gina (D-Impatient) is wondering just HOW many pictures of one brick building I need when lunch and a nice cold ale are waiting.
(01OCT09: I love when an obscure photo suddenly gets hits. Not always obvious why, though. If you search Der Google for "foundation settling" this is on the first page. But why a sudden interest in settling foundations on Ye Tubes?)

Canton, Massachusetts
Completed 1836
As one comes from Norwood, the bridge does form a lovely picture with its many arches through which flow the waters of the branch, thence falling over the dam below, and from the east the picture is also impressive.
- A History of the Viaduct,Canton Historical Society Web site
For more than 165 years, the Canton Viaduct has stood as a dominating structure on the New England landscape. When completed in 1836, the slightly curved, granite masonry bridge - 615 feet long, 70 feet high, and 22 feet wide - carried a single track of the Boston and Providence Railroad, providing a critical link in the establishment of rail service between Boston and New York. In 1860, a second track was added. With few major alterations, the viaduct has continued to provide safe rail transportation to heavier and faster loads throughout the 20th century.
Beginning in the early 1990s, the viaduct underwent a rehabilitation effort aimed at retaining its historic integrity while making it safe for modern, high-speed rail service. Following restoration, the viaduct has continued to serve as crucial transportation link into the 21st century, helping to provide 150 miles-per-hour, electrified, passenger rail service between Boston and Washington, D.C.
Facts
- The Canton Viaduct is believed to be the second oldest multiple-arch masonry viaduct in the United States. It contains 21 arches and was designed with hollow spaces between its walls, strengthened by solid buttresses above the arches.
- After a second track was added to the viaduct in 1860, its only alterations were the installation of iron cross-beams and railings in 1880; concrete reinforcing of the exterior arches in 1910; and the opening of an arch for street traffic in 1952.
- The viaduct's chief engineer was William Gibbs McNeill, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His assistant was Major General George Washington Whistler, father of the well-known painter, James Whistler, who, it is said, became an artist in contradiction to his father's desire that he chose engineering as a profession.
