St. George Historic District, St. George, Staten Island
The St. George Historic District, which includes portions of St. Marks Piace, Carroll Piace, Westervett Avenue, and Hamilton Avenue, the Phelps Place cul-de-sac, and short stretches of Richmond Terrace, is a small enclave containing some 78 buildings, part of a larger suburban development, located along Staten Island's North Shore. Predominantly late nineteenth century in character, the area of the district had its roots in one of the earliest ptanned suburban communities in New York City. Initiated by Thomas E. Davis, a wealthy Manhattan real estate developer, in 1834-35, the project was taken over in 1836 by the New Brighton Association, a consortium of wealthy New York City entrepreneurs who promoted this location as a commuter suburb called New Brighton which was readily accessible to New York City by steamboat ferry service.
The proposed development slowed, almost immediately affected by the economic collapse of 1837; within the historic district, however, part of the existing street pattern reflects that shown on the plan of New Brighton of 1835 - three crescent-shaped streets ascending a steep hillside and another that surrounded them. The present street names are those shown on that original plan: Richmond Terrace, Carroll Place, St. Marks Place, and Hamilton Avenue (its original westernmost end is today part of Westervelt Avenue). In addition, there are four structures from this earliest phase of development. The oldest structure in the district is the house at 404 Richmond Terrace (now "Pavilion on the Terrace"), a temple-fronted Greek Revival residence built c. 1835 by Thomas Davis and acquired shortly thereafter by Henry P. Robertson, a Manhattan merchant.
Another early house remains at 272 Richmond Terrace, originally part of a grouping of three similar houses constructed c. 1839-45 by Henry McFarlane. Also surviving are two early carriage houses that were buHt to serve houses on Richmond Terrace.
In the 1840s and 1850s New Brighton developed into a fashionable summer resort. One Italianate villa, now modified, at 97 St. Marks Place and two [arge brick Italianate outbuildings on the north side of Carrolt Place survive from this period.
A Civil War business boom brought new development and a population increase to Staten Island as New York's populace sought affordable housing. Among the most notable houses built in the area of the historic district was the Anson Phelps Stokes residence (1862), one of three large estate houses constructed at the top of the hill on land between St. Mark's Place and Hamilton Avenue. This period was marked by the introduction of a new building type to the district, the double house, and a new style, the Second Empire. Several houses dating from the 1860s and early 1870s, designed in this style and distinguished by their mansard roofs, are located on Westervelt Avenue and the north side of St. Mark's Place. This period of development was halted by the Depression of 1873.
Sometime between 1878 and 1882, the saloon and hotel keeper Joseph Wilks built the brick double house at 30-32 Westervelt Avenue which shows the influence of the Romanesque Revival style. The increase in building activity within the proposed district starting in the 1880s coincided with the consolidation of competing Staten Island ferry lines at one location, the site of the present St. George ferry terminal. Improved transportation, making the area more convenient to lower Manhattan, was the primary impetus for the suburb's development boom. The story has been told that the appellation, St. George, which first appears on an 1885 map, was the name that ferry promoter Erastus Wiman gave to the terminal, after George Law, a railroad engineer and financier, made land available for the new railroad and new terminal.
The majority of houses in the proposed district were constructed in the 1880s and 1890s and reflect combination of the decorative Queen Anne styie and aspects of the Coionial Revival and Shingie styles; it is these houses which give the proposed district its predominant architectural character. Most of the houses are wood-frame structures with clapboard or shingie siding, although there are some masonry buildings. Taking advantage of the hilly topography, the houses are designed with picturesque features such as comer towers, protecting bays, and porches which add architectural variety. The houses on the south side of St. Marks Place, for example, are set uphill and back from the street while those on the north side of the street are located on narrow, deep jots running downhill to Carroll Place and have additional stories at the rear. Historically Carroll Place was lined with outbuildings related to the properties on St. Marks Place and Richmond Terrace.
A few of the surviving buildings on Carroll Place, such as those at Nos. 9, 17, and 135, appear on an 1874 map; they were subsequently converted for residential use. Other buildings on Carrol! Place are garages for the properties on St. Marks Place.
The Phelps Place cul-de-sac is located on what was once the Anson Phelps Stokes estate. The double houses at 7-8 and 9-10 Phelps Place, as well as the freestanding house at 11 Phelps Place, were all designed by Manhattan architect Douglass Smyth and built c. 1890. They display elements of the popular Shingle style as adapted to specuiativety developed suburban architecture.
The district is also notable for the large number of works; from this era designed by Staten Island architect Edward Alfred Sargent (1842-1914). Examples of Sargent's work within the proposed district include the houses at 103, 115, 119, and 125 St. Marks Place, dating from c. 1890, which show the influence of the Shingle style. No. 103 was built for banker Frederick L. Rodewald, while Nos. 115 and 119 were built for Vernon Brown, a shipping agent for Cunard Lines. No. 1-5 St. Marks Place (c. 1887-91) and No. 27 St. Mark's Place (1906) are also documented as having been designed by Sargent, as were the c. 1890 alterations to the earlier house at No. 75 which included the addition of the porch and projecting bays.
As the governmental and business center developed near the ferry terminal in the years after Staten Island was consolidated into Greater New York, the larger neighborhood including the area of the district came to be known as St. George. Suburban development continued in the district as the owners of large estates died and the heirs sold off the properties. He freestanding frame houses from this period, many of them on the east side of Westervelt Avenue and on Hamilton Avenue, continue the stylistic trends established by Sargent and his contemporaries in the 1890s.
Also included within the district are examples of non-residential architecture which contribute to its character. The neo-Romanesque St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, built in 1900-01 to the designs of Harding & Gooch, on the site of an 1844 structure which had been Staten Island's first Roman Catholic church, dominates the view down St. Mark's Place. Two one-story commercial buildings, faced in decorative terra cotta and built along the west side of Westervelt Avenue, are typical of small stores constructed in suburban residential neighborhoods during the 1920s and '30s.
The historical significance of the St. George Historic District comes in part because of its prominent residents over several generations, including many leading members of the arts, professions, and business community, political and social leaders, and founders of such important local institutions as the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences and the Staten Island Women's Club.
The architecture of the district reflecting several distinct eras of suburban development on Staten Island, the curving streetscapes, the distinctive topography, and the terraced landscape al! work together to give the area its special character.

But Google’s getting far smarter. Our Go-To-Guy gets craftier. Wouldn’t PHP developer awesome if our Go-To-Guy had really attended district under consideration coupled with some impressions concerning the place? Sounds nearly the same as Google Business Photos and Google My Company reviews doesn’t it?
Actually, you can even find rumors that Bing is analyzing design, interior, and decor within Google Business Photos and matching up with pictures you’ve pinned on pinterest.1
For sometime it’s taken social connections into consideration, now, once we shown within our Local Search engine optimization publish - Google’s now taking reviews into consideration.
BUSINESS REVIEWS - The Ultimate CHAIN Within The “CIRCLE OF LIFE” OF DIGITAL BUSINESS
How do we extend this “user experience” past the browser, and past the digital world, which Google already has it’s small pigeon paws sunk deep into? We feel reviews. The way forward for many business come in reviews. As numerous businesses’ digital presences have coalesced around mobile, bootstrap, along with other similar frameworks, a large differentiator for companies continuing to move forward is going to be the way they really treat customers and just how individuals customers are convinced that experience online.
Many within the construction home service business have previously caught on. Carrying out a quick look for AC repair - our local providers have over 80 reviews a bit! That’s crazy. However they know great service = more reviews = more trust = greater rankings = more business. The circle of digital business later on.

BUSINESS REVIEWS How To Proceed?
So what’s a company to complete? PHP developer keen on context after which simple take-a-ways. As we’ve proven previously within our Local Search engine optimization analysis - reviews matter. Consult that publish for many specifics on guidance with regards to Reviews’ effect on search but our intent with this publish was simply - more broad than how you can rank in your area. We're feeling that consumer experience, in most it’s forms, but particularly by means of reviews is the way forward for search. Just how can Google understand what experience you'd at this restaurant? Reviews.
Later on with partnerships, acquisitions, and tracking of location - they might even prompt you to definitely take a look at experience as you’re departing district.
So, begin to build processes around making each client interaction amazing, and supplying a framework for soliciting your clients or customers for reviews. You need to be an excellent business! Inside a follow-up publish in a few days we’ll go with an actionable listing of ways to get more reviews, some guidelines PHP developer important to know from various IYP and social providers, and templates to get more reviews.
1. Using the word “in fact” I really mean this isn't a well known fact, but tend to eventually be possible…
Blast from the past ... I discussed Pub interaction model at slashdot journal and jos social interface design forums way back in 2004SEP09.
Summary
Pub interaction model aids scanning of topic information. Is it good enough to copy existing models?
Message
In my many travels into SIC (Social interactive community) sites that I have noticed a re-occuring interaction model that takes advantage of everyday interaction models most would be familiar with. I call it the 'Pub interaction model'. It probably has some fancy technical name [0]. But for the sake of argument, Pub [1] will do.
What was the last time you went to a Pub (party, class or lunchroom are equally good alternatives)? Imagine walking into the Pub for the first time. Think of the questions you ask yourself as you enter the room?
- How do you choose which group you want to join?
- How do you strike up a conversation with complete newcomers?
- How do you splice a question into the discussion?
The list goes on. Can you see the similiarity between entering a Pub, finding a suitable group, topic and engauging in conversation AND choosing what group, topic to reply in a JOSSID forum? [2]
But how does this relate to software design and SID? [3] Well I actively look for 'Pub' like interaction models as a way to quickly choose what forum I might be able to interact. I can quickly scan the room visually (whos in the room, what topic groups are operating) and aurally (who is saying what) then dive in.
In terms of software lets look at some examples.
Applications
Email clients are a common example. In Thunderbird [4] and Outlook Express for example you can filter your inboxes (walk into the pub and label social groups), then scan the number of topics (listen to the conversation) to see number of emails. FogBUGZ [5] also uses the Pub model when showing a customer problem. Allowing the person(s) responsible to see the whole discussion at a glance (though in the past) to resolve a customer support issue.
Websites
Social interaction sites such as Slashdot or Perlmonks the Pub model I look for here is the slashdot front page [6] or Perlmonk Monastery gates [7]. Both mechanisms allow me to see what groups are discussing what threads and allowing me to make decisions.
Another example where this model is used is blogs (soap box sites). The example here is Monologue [8]. I can quickly scan the site with the Pub model to see if theres a worthy topic to read. There is no feedback on this site (hence the term soap box) but I can see the person talking, scan the topics and skip the noise [9].
But is copying existing models good enough?
'... a particular state of the neurones in the brain is more likely to be followed by another specific state than by a random state ...' [10].
Edward de Bono argues in his book, 'New thinking for the new millennium' [10], that patterns or paths that are built you are less likely to change.
Conclusion
'... the downside of patterns is that once we have set them up we are trapped by them ... we also need the ability to challenge these patterns from time to time in order to set up better patterns ...' [11]
This may be a new field of software development so avoid the trap of simply replacing existing social models, roles or modes of interaction. While you have the chance, don't be constrained by 'old' patterns or paths we observe. Experiment and develop better group interaction models instead. While I find the Pub model advantageous to use and software developer continue to implement them, are we are missing out on designing better social interactions instead of accepting some possibly inferior alternative(s)?
