nrhp # 66000731- Beale Street Historic District- Beale Street was created in 1841 by entrepreneur and developer Robertson Topp (1807–1876), who named it for a forgotten military hero. The original name was Beale Avenue. Its western end primarily housed shops of trade merchants, who traded goods with ships along the Mississippi River, while the eastern part developed as an affluent suburb.[5] In the 1860s, many black traveling musicians began performing on Beale. The first of these to call Beale Street home were the Young Men's Brass Band,[5] who were formed by Sam Thomas in 1867.
In the 1870s, the population of Memphis was rocked by a series of yellow fever epidemics, leading the city to forfeit its charter in 1879.[5] During this time, Robert Church purchased land around Beale Street that would eventually lead to his becoming the first black millionaire from the south.[5] In 1890, Beale Street underwent renovation with the addition of the Grand Opera House, later known as the Orpheum. In 1899, Church paid the city to create Church Park at the corner of 4th and Beale. It became a recreational and cultural center, where blues musicians could gather. A major attraction of the park was an auditorium that could seat 2,000 people.[7] Some of the famous speakers in the Church Park Auditorium were Woodrow Wilson, Booker T. Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.[5]
In the early 1900s, Beale Street was filled with many clubs, restaurants and shops, many of them owned by African-Americans. In 1889, NAACP co-founder Ida B. Wells was a co-owner and editor of an anti-segregationist paper called Free Speech based on Beale. Beale Street Baptist Church, Tennessee's oldest surviving African American Church edifice built in 1864, was also important in the early civil rights movement in Memphis.
In 1903, Mayor Thornton was looking for a music teacher for his Knights of Pythias Band and called Tuskegee Institute to talk to his friend, Booker T. Washington, who recommended a trumpet player in Clarksdale, Mississippi named W. C. Handy. Mayor Thornton contacted Handy, and Memphis became the home of the famous musician who created the "Blues on Beale Street." Mayor Thornton and his three sons also played in Handy's band.[8]
In 1909, W. C. Handy wrote "Mr. Crump" as a campaign song for political machine leader E. H. Crump. The song was later renamed "The Memphis Blues." Handy also wrote a song called "Beale Street Blues" in 1916 which influenced the change of the street's name from Beale Avenue to Beale Street. From the 1920s to the 1940s, Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Memphis Minnie, B. B. King, Rufus Thomas, Rosco Gordon and other blues and jazz legends played on Beale Street and helped develop the style known as Memphis Blues. As a young man, B. B. King was billed as "the Beale Street Blues Boy." One of Handy's proteges on Beale Street was the young Walter Furry Lewis, who later became a well known blues musician. In his later years Lewis lived near Fourth and Beale, and in 1969 was recorded there in his apartment by Memphis music producer Terry Manning.
In 1934, local community leader George Washington Lee authored Beale Street: Where the Blues Began; the first book by a black author to be advertised in the Book-of-the-Month Club News.[9]
In 1938, Lewis O. Swingler, editor of the Memphis World Newspaper, a Negro newspaper, in an effort to increase circulation, conceived the idea of a "Mayor of Beale St.," having readers vote for the person of their choice. Matthew Thornton, Sr., a well-known community leader, active in political, civic and social affairs and one of the charter members of the Memphis Branch of the NAACP, won the contest against nine opponents and received 12,000 of the 33,000 votes cast. Mr. Thornton was the original "Mayor of Beale St." an honorary position that he retained until he died in 1963 at the age of 90.
By the 1960s, Beale had fallen on hard times and many businesses closed, even though the section of the street from Main to 4th was declared a National Historic Landmark on May 23, 1966.[1][3] On December 15, 1977, Beale Street was officially declared the "Home of the Blues" by an act of Congress. Despite national recognition of its historic significance, Beale was a virtual ghost town after a disastrous urban renewal program that razed blocks of buildings in the surrounding neighborhood, as well as a number of buildings on Beale Street.
In 1973, the Beale Street Development Corporation (BSDC) was formed by George B. Miller and others as a racially diverse, cooperative effort for the redevelopment of Beale Street. The corporation was selected by the City of Memphis to participate in the redevelopment of the blocks on Beale between Second and Fourth streets in August, 1978. The corporation dedicated its efforts to the success of the Beale Street project for the preservation of the street's rich history, and to its cultural as well as physical development. The BSDC secured 5.2 million dollars in grants for the renovation of Beale Street.
In 1982, the City of Memphis recommended that the BSDC hire a management company led by John A. Elkington to assist in the development of the street by securing new tenants, collecting rents and handling certain maintenance and security issues. Each new lease had to be agreed upon by BSDC, the City of Memphis and the management company, Performa.
The day-to-day management of Beale Street was turned over to the City of Memphis in an October, 2012 court decision after a long legal dispute involving the city, BSDC and Performa.[10]
During the first weekend of May (sometimes including late April), the Beale Street Music Festival brings major music acts from a variety of musical genres to Tom Lee Park at the end of Beale Street on the Mississippi River. The festival is the kickoff event of a month of festivities citywide known as Memphis in May

This was the tract developer's LA Times insert brochure from phase one of this neighborhood, circa 1961. The original estates around the fairways were quite nice, but this housing tract was planned as a step down in size while maintaining "close-in" adjacency to the club.
Decide When to Update Your Content
To create the illusion of movement in an animation you need to make changes to your content several times per second. That requires you to know when to perform those changes. Ideally, IOS developer want to perform the changes whenever there is a change to be performed but not more often than that. Adding more changes than you need will only spend extra processing time on something that won’t have an effect.
The simplest way to perform the changes is to use a CADisplayLink. The display link sends a message whenever the screen is going to refresh, which allows you to perform changes to your content exactly once per frame. When the animation is finished you can either pause the display link or disable it.
Using a continuous gesture recognizer, like a pan, pinch, or rotation recognizer, is another way to identify when you should perform changes to your content. The gesture recognizer forces IOS developer to accept that you won’t be trying to perform those changes when the user hasn’t moved their finger, and when there aren’t any changes to perform. A more advanced way is to use the scrollViewDidScroll: delegate method of a UIScrollView. We cover how you can tap into gesture recognizers and the UIScrollView behavior later in this article.
Define the Progress of Your Animation
In addition to knowing when to update your content, you need to establish what about your content will actually change and how it will do so over time. The progress of the animation is usually stored as a floating point value in the [0,1] range, where 0 is the initial state and 1 the final state. To determine the progress of your animation you need to establish the following items.The beginning and end of your animation. IOS developer a good idea to normalize the progress of your animation to the [0,1] range. This makes it easier to interpolate properties and more obvious where the animation progress currently is.
Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is owned by Ventana Canyon Partnership, headed by William Estes III.
Tucson developer, William (Bill) Estes, Jr.(1938-2009), built Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson. Estes was the founder of Estes Homes and built some 40,000 homes throughout Tucson and Phoenix. Loews operates the hotel under a management contract with Ventana Canyon Partnership. Lowes Ventana Canyon Resort opened in December 1984 following the opening of the 380 room Loews Paradise Valley (more recently a Wyndham and now DoubleTree) at 5401 N Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Loews Ventana Canyon lies in the Sonoran Desert at the base of the Santa Catalina mountains overlooking the city of Tucson. Architects John C. Hill, Jr. (AIA) and William Kenneth Frizzell (AIA) stated in 1985 - “The major organizing element of our design was the natural environment and we wanted the hotel to look like a part of the landscape.”
Their design task: 400 rooms, no more than two above ground stories due to zoning restrictions, and covering the least amount of area as possible to minimize environmental impact while simultaneously highlighting both the city of Tuscon and desert surrounding. Their firm, Frizzell Hill Moorehouse, won the closed competition by utilizing a basement for administration and ancillary functions, which conserved prime space for rooms.
Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, the design utilizes pleated vertical towers to blend with local cacti as well as a low-rise, earth brown exterior boasting exposed aggregate to reflect indigenous geology. It’s stone architecture blends into the desert mountains.
There are two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses - Loews Ventana Canyon Resort's Mountain course (1987) and Canyon course (1985) - with striking Sonoran Desert backdrops and saguaros. Plenty of wildlife with coveys of quail, red-tailed hawks, bobcats, deer, rabbits, coyotes and roadrunners at an elevation of 3,013 feet.
Architectural Digest called it the “first environmentally-conceived resort in North America.”
Loews Hotels parent company is Loews Corporation which also owns an oil-drilling company, natural-gas pipelines and Chicago-based commercial insurer CNA Financial Corp. CNA Financial Corporation is one of the largest commercial property and casualty insurance organizations in the United States. Loews owned Bulova Watches until 2007. The Tisch brothers gained control of Loew's Theaters in 1960, thus the name but they dropped the apostrophe for their corporate name. Loews Lorillard tobacco division included brand leader Newport cigarettes.
Jonathan Tisch is the chairman of Loews Hotels and co-chairman of Loews Corp. Tisch, 57, is also treasurer of the National Football League’s New York Giants.
Loews Hotels currently owns and/or operates 19 hotels in the U.S. and Canada. Previously Loews operated the Loews Monte Carlo, Loews La Napoule, Loews Le Concorde in Quebec City, Loews L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C. and Loews Anatole.
The parents of Preston and Laurence Tisch bought the Laurel-in-the-Pines Hotel in Lakewood, NJ in 1946. That hotel's success was the springboard for Loews Corp. By 1956, the brothers were in a position to build their first hotel, the Americana in Bal Harbour, Fla., for $17 million in cash.
