I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history of People of Color.

 

Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... I look forward to reading them!

1850's "mirror mansion" built by identical twins Argalus Isaac and Augustus Ira Foote.

Speculated underground railroad site, Al Capone moonshine still

 

For years, this old place lie rotting away just a short trip through the woods from my home. I was in it when I was young and later in my teens. I knew it was there but didn't think much of it. Sure I loved old houses - the workmanship and the history - but it wasn't until crazy stories told to me captured my imagination. Stories of secret stairways, underground tunnels, and stories of moonshine and gangsters - then I was curious of the old, boarded up building. Were there tunnels? Was there, truly, rings in the basement walls and blood spattered upon them from some unfortunate incident? Were there bars on the basement windows? There was some truth to some of it, but how much? I headed to the library to seek information.... and the courthouse, many, many times

It was there I learned the story of twin brothers, born in 1817, who shared a deep brotherly love through out their life. It's been said they had a double wedding, Argalus married Adelia, and Augustus married Anna, making a complete foresome of "AF" initials. So close they were, after moving from Massachusetts in the early 1850's, they had constructed a home for two families. One side of the house was the mirror image of the other side just like the brothers themselves. It is said that they furnished their sides the same and that the interior decorating was of the highest quality. Things were good. The brothers farmed their 300 acres (and more) of virgin land and Argalus and Adelia started building their family with sons Andrew, William, and Frank. The place was the pride of the countryside... but fate intervened. Anna Foote died during childbirth just before Christmas, 1855. The little daughter, Mary, followed her mother a few months later. As you can imagine, Augustus was devestated. Suddenly things became unequal between the two. Contrary to what is written out there, the Foote brothers carried on with life despite what was planned to be. Augustus lived with his sister, Sara, and mother, Rebecca, until they both past away as well. Come 1870 census, Augustus no longer lived there. Too much personal tragedy probably drove him away. In his place lived farmhands and a domestic servant or two. Once Argalus' wife past away in 1876, the decision was made to move away. Argalus' three sons had grown and left as well. Everyone moved to Oshkosh and established the Foote Brothers Milling Co. Their home sat empty and became known as "Foote's Folly."

The mansion was bought by a family who raised horses and soon there were stables of fine horses and a racetrack was set up behind the house. Some eleven years later, they moved on, and the place sat empty. The place changed hands numerous times until the present owner bought it in 1934. But just prior to that, the place was one of speculation and concern.

Stories of covered trucks coming and going through the night and gangsters living there had the town of Eureka concerned. Once a place of admiration, now it was a place to avoid. Rumors soon circulated of a machine gun, on a turret, being mounted in the cupola. There were ideas of who they were, and to this day, Al Capone's name comes up. Their time passed there as well.

In 1935, a local women's group held a Halloween tour at the huge place. People came from everywhere for their chance to see the house, something of a legend already. To this day, their names are written on the walls of that time as well as others. So much admiration....

A lot of damage and deterioration came into play after that. Numerous articles in papers were written about it, a few photos taken, but nothing to save it from ruin. The coils and boilers from the moonshine days were lying out by a shed back in the 60's as evidence of it's moonshine days.

Armed with my new found knowledge of the house, I had a entirely new sense of admiration for the place. It was the twins dream house. It was an enormous place and being there, I felt like I was in another era - another time. The structure is - was - quite a place to walk up to. Very massive and overwhelming, yet somewhat personally romantic with it's remaining Italianate gingerbread. It was hauntingly beautiful and I was completely drawn to it.... To imagine what it looked like - to "see" it with all the shutters, windows, and massive front porch. Fantastic...

Investigating it further, I noticed the remains of a carriage loop in the front yard from all those years ago. Inside the 7000 sq ft house were sagging floors covered with falling plaster and busted lathe. Remains of peeling wall and ceiling papers clung to twelve foot ceilings, hand-grained woodwork, ceiling medallions with remains of chandeliers in each of the four parlors, etc. There were two kitchens linked to twin dining rooms graced by huge bay windows. Upstairs there were 9 bedrooms, each with built in show closets, located off a 80ft hallway. The three staircases were open but the spindles were long gone. A hidden flight of steps led to the cupola which was once encased in 16 double hung windows.

The fabled tunnel was no longer open, but found to be mortared shut in the basement and sealed off on the other end. I spoke to a man who tried to dig it out when he was a kid in the 40's. What could be in there? I wonder to this day.... Did the Foote's set a lantern out on the porch years ago for those runaway slaves to spot? Was it another spot along the way towards freedom in Canada? It may forever remain a mystery.

It was a place of broken dreams from another place in time. It became a place riddled with rumors and speculation - a legend in itself. Those who desired to save it, couldn't find a way. A place admired by many but now it faces a fate of it's own. Even the fact of being potentially eligible for National Registry status wasn't enough.

The brothers lived out their lives together in New London, Wi, with Argalus' son, Andrew. It is written in one of their obituaries that, I quote, "they were impossible to tell apart and shared everything through out life. Their minds were but one thought it seems and their pleasures and sorrows were shared together. Their pocketbooks were combined, and neither knew what a quarrel was.That they trusted each other in ways that few brothers ever could. Living into their early '80s, before the time of Augustus' passing it was said they were the oldest surviving twins in the United States." Augustus past away in 1901 and was laid to rest beside his wife and daughter who lives were tragically cut short so many years before, and Argalus, the following year. A short mile away, the family is buried together in a family plot marked by a tall, white spire. The brothers still together just like they had been all their lives.

Singapore Sling @ O'Gambinos - www.facebook.com/people/OGambinos-Bistro-Bar/100000050283640

The Singapore Sling is a cocktail that was invented by Ngiam Tong Boon (嚴崇文) a bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel Singapore before 1910. The recipes published in articles about the Raffles Hotel prior to the 1970s are significantly different from the current recipes. There were also different "Singapore Slings" those drunk in Singapore at large and the recipe used at the Raffles Hotel. While recipes varied significantly, the cocktail at the Raffles Hotel remained the same. The original recipe used Gin, Cherry Heering, Dom Bénédictine and most importantly fresh Pineapple Juice especially from Sarawak Pineapples as it not only enhances the flavour but also for a nice foamy top. However, as most other recipes used bottled pineapple juice, club soda had to be added for foam. The recipe used by the hotel was the result of recreating the original recipe based on the memories of former bartenders and written notes that they were able to discover. One of the scribbled recipe is still on display at the Raffles Hotel Museum.

The current Raffles Hotel recipe is a much modified version of the original, most likely changed sometime in the 1970s by Ngiam Tong Boon's nephew. Today, much of the Singapore Sling served at the Raffles Hotel has been pre-mixed and is dispensed using an automatic dispenser which combines both alcohol and pineapple juice to pre-set volumes. It is then blended instead of shaken to create a nice foamy top as well as to save time due to large number of orders. However, it is still possible to request for a shaken version from bartenders.

The Roman Catholic Týn Church (Týnský Chrám) seems as if it belongs in a fairytale. Its style is ornate, with Gothic spires, Renaissance decorations and baroque interior. The iconic place of worship is one of the most photographed attractions in Prague. Visit Týn if you are interested in architecture, history or religious iconography.

 

Týn Church has been an active church since the 14th century. The full name of the cathedral is Our Lady Before Tyn.

 

The best place to view the church is from the Old Town Square, where you will see the building in the context of the medieval town center. The two towers on the face of the church reach 260 feet (80 meters). Each is adorned by four thin spires.

 

The two spires on the church are not symmetrical; they are meant to represent femininity and masculinity, a crucial element to Gothic architecture that distinguishes it from the rest.

АЛЕКСАНДР ГОЛОВИН - Автопортрет

Location: The State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia

Sources: my.tretyakov.ru/app/masterpiece/21444

Александр Шаталов. Скромное обаяние Головина //Журнал ''Новые времена'' (The New Times), № 10 от 31 марта 2014.

 

A student of Vasily Polenov, a regular member of the Abramtsevo colony of Savva Mamontov, a friend of Korovin and Vrubel, Levitan and Nesterov, a member of the Mir iskusstva and Diaghilev's Saisons Russes, an outstanding theater artist, Aleksandr Golovin still remains in the shadow of his more famous contemporaries. Maybe this modesty is a feature of his character, or maybe the reason is that most of Golovin's works were done for the theater, and from these productions, except for his sketches and scenery, only legends and stories of the memoirists remained.

His works are imbued with the magical grace that distinguishes Russian modern, they are decorative and whimsical.

Aleksandr Golovin was born in Moscow in 1863 in the family of a priest. Childhood passed in Petrovsky-Razumovsky - an old estate near Moscow, where the Petrovsky Agricultural and Forestry Academy was located in those years. An early penchant for drawing determined the fate of the boy. After the death of his father, when he was 15 years old, Golovin entered the Polivanov's gymnasium, which became a kind of forge of the Russian intelligentsia. Here studied the eldest son of Leo Tolstoy, future poets Valery Bryusov, Maximilian Voloshin, Andrei Bely and others.

After graduating from high school, the artist worked as an apprentice with the then-popular “cleaner-decorator” and “room painter” August Tomashki. For seven years he paints satin decorative fabrics with flowers. No matter how you evaluate this period in his life, but it was then that Golovin's special style was born - a love of small details, the ability to convey the sensuality of household items, overflow of colors and moods. Later, it was this style that became the hallmark of its festive and lavishly emphasized elegant theatrical scenery.

Soon Golovin falls into the orbit of the Abramtsevo colony, together with Vrubel he practices majolica (his work is marked with medals at an exhibition in Paris), together with Elena Polenova, Vasily Polenov’s sister, participates in the creation of the “Old Russian” modernity. Like Korovin, and some other talented artists who did not have any inheritance or money, Golovin is taken care of by the Polenovsky family. Thanks to the Polenovs, he visited Italy and Paris for the first time, the French Impressionists admire him and give his paintings the airiness that still delights him in his works.

But a decisive coup in his fate was associated with the theater. Having received a random order for the production of sets for one of the performances, Golovin was, like no other, in demand by the stage. In 1898 he was appointed an artist-decorator of the Imperial Theaters, in 1902 he became the main decorator of the Imperial Theaters and a consultant to the Directorate of Artistic Issues. This is the heyday of his theatrical work. The works of that period are distinguished by imagination and brightness. The curtain and the curtains are covered with color mosaic and ornamentalism. Fanciful forms of baroque coexist with classicism. Golovin composes everything himself, avoiding the production of a single non-atral household item.

Not all contemporaries understood the magic that Golovin did in the theater. So, for example, Alexandr Benois, the chief theoretician of the Mir iskusstva, in his book History of Painting, wrote: “There will be very little left of Golovin: some sketches, two or three paintings, several portraits - all this is marked by genuine artistry”, with a colorful brilliance and a delicate intuition, but even this little - only hints, only promises, which Golovin hardly wants to keep''.

Unlike colleagues, the public appreciated the genius of the artist. As eyewitnesses recall, during the premiere of Ostrovsky’s “Thunderstorm” (1916), the scenery for which Golovin did, after the curtain was opened “the audience groaned from applause, the whole theater applauded amicably”. And the design of Lermontov's "Masquerade", on which the artist worked for more than five years, was described by contemporaries as "the magnificent funeral of imperial Russia''.

Each performance, designed by Golovin, became a unique man-made work, which was highly appreciated by such different people as Sergey Diaghilev and Vsevolod Meyerhold. And yet time has decreed that we, the modern audience, are only now opening this great master.
