Helen Keller (1880 – 1968) ephemera:
Black and white photograph of Helen Keller with the inscription: To the Helen Keller House Girls, with my grateful love Helen Keller, November 1947. Inscription written in pencil by Helen Keller on the photograph.
Typed letter written by Helen Keller and signed by her in pencil, to Kathleen Devonshire. Dated November 4th, 1947 and sent from Arcan Ridge, Westport, Connecticut.
From time to time Archives New Zealand receives odd items of uncertain provenance. It is believed that these items were found hanging in a government department. Most likely, this was a successor agency to Child Welfare. It is not known when Archives New Zealand took custody of these items, however they were processed in 2002 after being removed from a departing staff member's office.
The Child Welfare Act of 1925 provided for the creation of a special branch of the Education Department: the Child Welfare Branch. Among its responsibilities was the administration of institutions for troubled, neglected or delinquent children and teenagers. The Girls Training Centre in Burwood was attended by teenage girls requiring 'a period of reformative detention in an institution' and had a male equivalent in the Boys Training Centre in Levin. One of the boarding facilities at the centre was known as Helen Keller House.
There are three items in this series. The letter and accompanying photograph, written in November 1947, are a response to a letter sent by Kathleen Devonshire and other girls at the Centre to Helen Keller. The third item is a typed, signed copy of the address she made when she visited the Centre the following year on August 7th 1948.
These items are of high informational and evidential value relating as they do to what must have been a highly significant visit by Helen Keller at the time.

The Keller House was built in 1910 on a knob overlooking the city of Colville, WA. It was once the home of a prominent area family. Today, the house is the centerpiece of the Keller Heritage Center.

Met up with some Portland Pinhole Photographers for an evening of pinhole photography at the South Park Blocks and Ira Keller Fountain. Although the fountain is shut off for the season, and the theater lights were also off, there was just enough light to capture some detail of the fountain and wonderful pinhole flare. NB19834
A little over four years ago a friend extended an invite to join his party's celebratory dinner at The French Laundry. It was literally the first restaurant that I specifically travelled for, a weekend spent out in the Bay area with the sole purpose to eat. While Chef Keller wasn't present that night we dined at The French Laundry (he was at Per Se receiving his 3 Michelin stars!) the rest of his crew carried on splendidly in his absence, taking great care of all the guests. Zion, our head server (who's still there according to Chef Keller) made a great impression on me and volunteered to help me get the menu signed by the kitchen crew (who were still present at the end of the day). My very first chef signed menu.
When I learnt that I would have the opportunity to meet Chef Keller, the food enthusiast in me remembered the menu and the missing signature... I brought it with me and Chef Keller was all too kind in indulging in my request. There is now a sense of completeness. :)
The other item that surprised me when I looked at my menu was to find that I had Chef Timothy Hollingsworth's signature on my menu (the current Chef de Cuisine; I remembered being a tiny bit sad that Corey Lee wasn't in house at the time, but lo and behold, I had the future CdC). Little things that surprise us when we least expect it.
Description: Reproduction of a photograph of Helen Keller conversing with benefactor, Alexander Graham Bell taken in 1902. Keller called Graham Bell her oldest friend. In the summer of 1886 the Kellers had taken Helen to see Dr. Bell. It was Dr. Bell who suggested to Mrs. Keller that she write to Michael Anagnos, head of the Perkins Institution in Boston, about the possibility of getting a teacher for Helen.

Keller, Helen, 1880-1968
Sullivan, Anne, 1866-1936
Historical Note: Anne Sullivan, a child of recent Irish immigrants, was born in April 1866 in Feeding Hills, a village in western Massachusetts. Shortly after Sullivan's mother died when Anne was 8 years old, she was sent to live in the Tewksbury Almshouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts with her younger brother. On October 7, 1880, Sullivan entered the Perkins Institution. After her graduation Michael Anagnos, then director at Perkins, sent Sullivan to teach Helen Keller in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Sullivan arrived in Tuscumbia, Alabama to teach Helen Keller on March 3, 1887. Keller wrote many books over the years and this dictaphone dictating machine was one method of writing.
Biographical Note: Anne Sullivan (1866-1936) attended the Perkins Institution from 1880 until she graduated as valedictorian of her class in 1886. In March 1887, Sullivan traveled to Tuscumbia, Alabama to teach Helen Keller. She remained Keller's companion and interpreter for 50 years.
Helen Keller (1880-1968) was an internationally renowned author, lecturer, advocate, and activist who first gained attention as a highly accomplished student who was deafblind. Some of the many causes she advocated for were in support of equal rights for women, civil liberties, civil rights, and equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

150 Barrow Street (aka 384-385 West Street, 384-385 West Side Highway, 384-385 Joe DiMaggio Highway), NYC
by navema
The Keller Hotel stands on the corner of Barrow & West Street, a sober visitor from another era, was constructed in 1897-98 to the Renaissance Revival style design of Julius Munckwitz. He was Supervising Architect and Superintendent of Parks in New York City and maintained an architectural practice in Harlem. Most of the buildings that Munckwitz designed have been demolished. The building was built by William Farrell, a prominent coal merchant. The hotel was operated by several proprietors including Fritz Brodt, who had a contract with the United States government to provide food to immigrants at Ellis Island. The hotel was located near ferry and transatlantic cruise ship docks where thousands of visitors arrived. By at least 1935, it housed transient sailors. After the decline of the maritime industry on the Hudson River, the Keller Hotel became a single-room occupancy hotel and the Keller Bar at the corner storefront became a popular bar catering to a gay clientele.
The building is currently vacant, its ground floor marred by boarded-up windows and an accretion of graffiti, metal grills and faux stone cladding, though its lovely upper stories remain untouched. An early-20th-century sign — an Edward Hopper touch — hangs on the corner, announcing in faded capital letters, “Hotel.” The ghosts of the past breathe deeply here. The building has two cast-iron storefronts at the ground floor of the West Street façade, which feature a continuous cornice and columns with a stylized floral design at the capitals. The upper floors are constructed of brick with stone trim and feature a restrained use of classical and Renaissance-inspired ornament. It is one of the last surviving turn-of-the-century Hudson River waterfront hotels. The building, situated along the Hudson River, is a significant reminder of the era when the Port of New York was one of the world’s busiest and the section of the Hudson River between Christopher and 23rd Streets was the heart of the busiest section of the Port of New York.
The Keller Hotel was used as an accommodation by transient sailors, one of many such places that once lined the West Side waterfront, offering a clean, safe alternative to the dens of ill repute that beckoned the unwary seafarer. It was listed as such along with the Seamen’s Institute and another hotel in Manhattan in the Emergency Relief Bureau directory of October 19, 1935. The large number of people that came through the Hudson River section of the Port of New York, especially between Christopher and 23rd Streets with its ferry and transatlantic cruise line docks, included both travelers and sailors and created a demand for hotels along the Hudson River waterfront. In the 1980s the Keller Hotel became a single room occupancy hotel in which the City housed indigent people. It is now vacant but the interior is being altered to convert the upper floors into residential apartments.
The corner storefront at 384 West Street had been occupied as a restaurant, bar or saloon since at least the 1930s by a succession of tenants (Renee Tavern, 1939-1949, Charles Bar & Grill, 1950-1955, Keller Bar 1956-1998). The Keller Bar was reputed to be the oldest and first gay “leather” bar in the City and it's also been credited as the birthplace of disco; the Village People were photographed here for an album cover.
A red flag for preservationists worried about the future of the Keller Hotel was the death in 1999 of William Gottlieb, who owned the hotel and about 100 other buildings, principally in the West Village and the meatpacking district. Mr. Gottlieb was renowned for never selling or developing his properties, and Mr. Berman admits that from his perspective, this policy had a “benevolent effect.” But after Mr. Gottlieb died, Molly Bender, his sister, assumed control of his holdings. In January 2004, a company called Gottlieb Real Estate obtained a permit to renovate the interior of the Keller Hotel. Local residents have since seen sporadic construction there, and a recent peek through the dusty glass of a door revealed a stark space stripped of all detail, rust-colored steel beams exposed by the removal of the floors.
