Backyard Shots field trip to Historic Oakland Cemetery
Atlanta, Georgia USA
Sunday, July 31,2011
Some pictures from my field trip to the Historic Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta with the Backyard Shots group led by David Akoubian.
Details of the image
Lion head Door pulls from a bronze door to one of the mausoleums at Oakland Cemetery.
Originally called the Atlanta Graveyard, the initial plot of land was purchased by the City of Atlanta in 1850. Oakland is located east of downtown Atlanta in an area that was rural farmland at the time it was founded. Large US cities of the 19th century typically had crowded, unattractive cemeteries centered in the urban areas. Oakland is an early example of the "rural garden cemetery", designed in a park-like setting landscaped with walking paths and beautiful shady areas to sit and relax.
The cemetery expanded rapidly during and just after the Civil War to accommodate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died during the Battle of Atlanta as well as other action in the area. Many stones marking the dead of the War Between the States dot the grounds and there is also a memorial called the "Lion of Atlanta" which commemorates 3,000 unknown Confederate soldiers.
Oakland Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places (#76000627) in 1976.

Japanese door pulls / vintage item at #etsy

I love these, you still find them all over the city - these are old bell-pulls, from before the days of home electricty and electronic doorbells. These are mechanical, grab the knob and it pulls out, tugging a wire to ring a bell in the flat.
While many of these are now just a decorative reminder of a different era (in the same way you can still see the fixtures for gas lighting in the stairwells of these old tenements), you still find some that actually work - a friend once had a flat with a working Victorian bell-pull that jangled bells inside, and of course I delighted in ringing it every time I went round to visit!
I quite liked these ones, all covered in cobwebs. And I like that so many of our homes in this old city have these little remnants of the past still built into them, and wonder how many generations past pulled those bells as they called on a friend or relative. History is never really past, it's still here, especially in a city like Edinburgh, and not just the grand histories of kings and queens but the little, domestic, everyday histories like these.

According to Wiki - The Mission's first permanent adobe church was dedicated with great ceremony on April 22, 1809. Valuable gifts of vestments, sacred vessels, religious statues, and paintings attested to the generosity of friends of the Mission in the Bay Area and abroad. The majority of vestments in the modern collection date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The silken fabrics and embroideries were products of various textile centers of the Spanish Empire, whose suppliers extended from Europe to Asia. Mission San José was the center of industry and agriculture. The site was chosen for the abundance of natural resources of the area including water, fertile ground, stones, and adobe soil suitable for building. Thousands of cattle roamed the Mission ranges, and acres of wheat and other crops were planted and harvested under the direction of the padres. In 1868, it produced 4,070 bushels (110 metric tons) of wheat and much produce, including grapes, olives, and figs.
In 1832, the Mission's 12,000 cattle, 13,000 horses, and 12,000 sheep roamed Mission lands from present-day Oakland to San Jose. San José was one of the most prosperous of all of the California missions. An 1833 inventory prepared by Father José González Rubio lists a church, monastery, guardhouse, guest house, and a women's dormitory, in addition to the thousands of acres of crops and grazing land. This prosperity was not to last long, however. On August 17 of that year, the Mexican Congress passed An Act for the Secularization of the Missions of California.

A wee bit of local history - these objects next to the entrance to a block of Victorian tenements are a leftover from those older days, they are bell-pulls. You grasp the knob in the middle of those square to ring a bell in the apartment you are calling on.
Long since replaced by electronic entryphones in most tenements, you still find some on buildings, some, as here, even have names on them. Occasionally some of them are actually still connected and work! A friend had a flat for several years here which still had a working bell-pull, which naturally I would delight in ringing every time I went round.
