The House Chamber is on the second floor of the Capitol and features magnificent art, including remarkable stained glass windows, splendid murals and original wooden desks. William B. Van Ingen (1858-1955), a Philadelphia native, created 14 stained-glass windows for the House and 10 for the Senate. The 200-pound works of art are four feet in diameter and are framed in 24-karat gold leaf embellishments. Each features a theme, such as "Abundance," "Chemistry," "Natural Gas," "Justice," "Education," and "Bridge Building."
The official floor of the House extends from the Speaker's rostrum to the bronze rail beyond the 210 varnished mahogany desks. On session days the chamber is the busy workshop of 203 legislators and 100 or more clerks, pages and staff assistants. On ceremonial days as many as 1,000 individuals can be accommodated. Leopold Stokowski once conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra from the well of the House.
The House Chamber, a vast room larger than two basketball courts and four stories high, is dominated by five murals by artist Edwin Austin Abbey. Abbey's "Reading of the Declaration of Independence" mural features the first public reading of the document in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. This painting was not completed at the time of Abbey's death in 1911 and was finished by his assistant, Ernest Boyd. Abbey's "Penn's Treaty with the Indians" features William Penn who was granted all the land in Pennsylvania in 1681 by King Charles II of England. Penn and his heirs chose not to sell or settle any of the land without first buying the claims of Indians who lived on it. The painting is dominated by the great tree under which the scene takes place.
The largest mural in the Capitol, "The Apotheosis of Pennsylvania," is located directly behind the Speaker's podium. This enormous central painting on the south wall spans 35 square feet and represents the Genius of State with 50 distinguished sons at her feet. Included in the painting are House members, explorers, pioneers, and intellectual, spiritual, military and industrial leaders. William Penn stands in the center of the work with Representatives Benjamin Franklin and Robert Morris. Abbey painted "The Camp of the American Army at Valley Forge" which is hung on the back wall, and his "Passage of the Hours" is displayed on the ceiling.
This headstone, found in the Old Ballaarat Cemetery, features a Bible carved in pass relief, flanked by flowers.
Built across an area of 7 hectares (18 acres), the historical Old Ballaarat Cemetery is located about one and a half kilometres from Ballarat's heart with its boundaries on Macarthur Street, Creswick Road, Lexton Street and Pigah Street.
Ballarat's first public cemetery was recorded in 1856, when the first official cemetery burial took place on the 20th May. Local records indicate that whilst this was the first official burial, ceremonies took place in the area of the Old Ballaarat Cemetery in the late 1840's and thereafter, which was even before the discovery of gold in Ballarat and the subsequent Gold Rushes that drew people to the city from around the world.
Allow the elegant and ornate Victorian gates on the corner of Macarthur Street and Creswick Road to usher you into a world of grand and simple monuments to the dead, and to a slice of Ballarat's fantastic history. The Old Ballaarat Cemetery is filled with historical figures from Ballarat's past as many burials were early settlers who were looking to make their fortune on the goldfields. People mentioned in my own photostream are amongst those buried here; Richard Henry Sutton of Sutton's Music Store in Sturt Street; George and Clara Crocker who dedicated windows in St Peter's Church of England to their sons who died during the Great War; Thomas Stoddart who made Ballarat a city of marble statues; and Henry Richards Caselli who designed so many beautiful and iconic Ballarat buildings. Two important monuments in not just Ballarat's, but Australia's, history were erected in the cemetery following from the armed insurrection of 1854 - the Eureka uprising; the Eureka Diggers' Monument in 1856 and the Officers and Soldiers Monument in 1879.
Situated in the centre of the cemetery, is the original Victorian rotunda built in 1892 to the designs of James and Piper and J. C. Smith. The Rotunda has recently been restored to its original splendour.
Cemetery records show 35,000 interments have taken place since 1856, with 18,000 prior to 1884.
Appropriately for a city, once the wealthiest in the world, because of the Gold Rushes, in 1907 gold was discovered in the Old Ballaarat Cemetery when grave diggers were preparing a grave for a Mr. T. C. Thomas.
The 1920 gatehouse building was restored in 1997.

The Lytle Community Health Center waiting room that features a lowered counter (right) for better patient accessibility, in Lytle, Texas, on December 5, 2017. This health center (HC) is a satellite clinic of Atascosa Health Center, Inc., who qualified and was approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Community Facility Direct Loan program for a direct loan of $1,450,000. The funds allowed the purchase of an existing medical office building which includes a retail pharmacy, and the relocation to the new location. The Lytle Community HC once operated out of two of several adjoining retail suites and a diner in a single building. The new facility is approximately 8,500 square feet, has 10 additional medical exam rooms, and includes a spacious parking lot. Design and remodeling of select areas improved the efficiency in the work areas of providers and staff; and added an adjoining autoclave room to sterilize tools; a lab procedure room, vaccine storage area, and improved access and privacy in the large patient waiting area. The facility also includes office space for behavioral health and WIC services on a permanent basis. The loan is for 40 years at 2.7500% percent. This loan serves a population of 44,911.

The Air Force/Navy Dining Facility at Fort Lee, Va., recently earned a LEED gold rating for its environmentally friendly features.
FORT LEE, Va. (Feb. 11, 2011) -- Fort Lee has earned its first gold rating through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
The newly constructed Air Force/Navy Dining Facility here garnered the award for its design features and functions that achieved high LEED scores for energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emission reductions, stewardship of resources and more.
The $6.7 million facility opened in June 2010 and features energy-efficient lighting, low-flow water and other energy-saving appliances within the facility. The contractor also worked throughout every stage of the design and construction process to recycle as much waste as possible and to use resources from distributors closer to Fort Lee to reduce the overall carbon footprint the project made on the environment.
According to the U.S. Green Building Council website (www.usgbc.org), LEED is an internationally recognized certification system that provides third-party verification of building and/or community design and construction strategies that emphasize environmental quality, stewardship of resources and sensitivity to the impact of construction. Developed by the USGBC, LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. LEED award levels include certified, silver, gold and platinum.
While LEED silver certification is now the standard for all Army construction projects, contractors are recognizing the importance of achieving higher levels of environmental stewardship and accompanying LEED certification ratings, noted Mike Roach, Fort Lee's resident engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"A gold LEED rating can't happen without contractor involvement because we can't set standards above silver," Roach said. "In other words, it's up to the contractor to go above and beyond. Fortunately, a lot of them are becoming more environmentally conscious - 'going green' is very important in construction. Most contractors are really getting on board with it."
The contractor for the dining facility project, Leebcor Services LLC, is a service-connected, disabled veteran-owned small business based in Williamsburg. They provide a full range of construction services to the federal government, including design build, general construction, and utilities and site work.
Leebcor worked hard to earn their gold rating, said Roach. The contractor worked with the Environmental Management Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to ensure the LEED objectives were met.
"The contractor was proud of the building and wanted to do a great job - they were very cooperative with the LEED requirements," said Roach. "This contractor went above and beyond. Some contractors see the easy points and go for them to earn their LEED silver rating. This contractor wanted gold and he went for it."
While the Air Force/Navy Dining Facility project is the first on the installation to earn a gold rating, it shouldn't be the only one as others - like the phase 2 advanced individual training barracks on the Ordnance Campus - show promise of earning similar awards, said Roach.
Emphasizing the importance of the LEED process itself, Debbie Kilpatrick, a NEPA/Sustainability specialist in the EMO, said the program keeps environmental concerns at the forefront of construction planning and community management across the nation.
LEED ratings recognize performance in many key areas - water efficiency, pollution prevention, storm water management, usage of recycled resources, usage of local material resources, design innovation and construction waste management, among others - to encourage environmental stewardship. It also promotes eco-friendly solutions like the installation of bike racks and reserved parking spaces for low-emission cars near businesses. It also brings focus to training and encouraging the end users to be environmentally friendly.
"The design, the construction and the end users - that's how LEED succeeds," Kilpatrick said. "From an environmental management office point of view, we like the LEED program. We like the processes and the thinking that goes into it. It's a step forward for us."

The Pittock Mansion was home to Portland pioneers Henry and Georgiana Pittock from 1914 to 1919. During the late 1800s and the early 1900s, their lives and work paralleled the growth of Portland from a small Northwest town site to a thriving city with a quarter million population. With its eclectic architectural design and richly decorated interior, including family artifacts, the Pittock Mansion stands today as a living memorial of this family’s contributions to the blossoming of Portland and its people.
English-born Henry Lewis Pittock journeyed on a wagon train from Pennsylvania to Oregon in 1853 where, at the young age of 19, and in his own words, “barefoot and penniless,” he began working for Thomas Jefferson Dryer’s Weekly Oregonian newspaper. In 1860, at the age of 26, he married 15-year-old Georgiana Martin Burton of Missouri. Six years prior, Georgiana had crossed the plains from Keokuk, Iowa to Oregon Territory with her parents. Georgiana’s father E.M. Burton was a flour mill owner and one of early Portland’s well known building contractors.
Together, Henry and Georgiana began a long life of work, community service, and devotion to family, which would last 58 years and celebrate six children and eighteen grandchildren.
A consummate businessman, Henry Pittock took ownership of the Weekly Oregonian in 1860, changing its format to the daily paper we read today. He went on to build an empire incorporating real estate, banking, railroads, steamboats, sheep ranching, silver mining, and the pulp and paper industry.
Georgiana dedicated herself to improving the lives of the community’s women and children. She helped found the Ladies Relief Society in 1867, whose Children’s Home provided care, food, and shelter for needy children. Georgiana also worked with the Woman’s Union, and played a key role in building the Martha Washington Home for single, working women.
The couple was known for their quiet reserve, helpful demeanor, and love for the outdoors. Georgiana cherished gardening, and kept a terraced flower garden at the mansion covered with every kind of flower imaginable. She frequently adorned her house with cut flowers, and is recognized for originating the tradition of Portland’s annual Rose Festival.
A vigorous outdoorsman, Henry rode horses in the Rose Festival parades, and was a member of the first party to climb Mt. Hood, one of the spectacular peaks visible from the mansion. On one of his climbing expeditions, someone suggested that the group sit down and rest, at which point Henry responded, “The man who sits down never reaches the top.”
Henry and Georgiana were at the pinnacle of their successful lives when they commissioned architect Edward Foulkes to design and build their new home overlooking Portland, the city they loved.
They began planning and designing their new home in 1909. The mansion was completed in 1914, replete with stunningly progressive features including a central vacuum system, intercoms, and indirect lighting. The house also creatively incorporated Turkish, English, and French designs. In keeping with their loyalty to their home state, the Pittocks hired Oregon craftsmen and artisans, and used Northwest materials to build the house. The final estate included the mansion, a three-car garage, a greenhouse, and the Italianate gate lodge servants’ residence, all situated on 46 acres of land almost 1,000 feet above downtown Portland.
At 80 and 68 respectively, Henry and Georgiana moved to their new home. The hard-working couple who had lived in the heart of Portland as it developed from a forest clearing to a bustling business center, now resided high in the hills, with a breathtaking vista of their beloved Portland. It was a warm and gracious house for both the adults and children of the family.
Georgiana died in 1918 at the age of 72, and Henry in 1919 at 84. The Pittock family remained in residence at the mansion until 1958, when Peter Gantenbein, a Pittock grandson who had been born in the house, put the estate on the market.
The threat of demolition at the hands of land developers, and the extensive damage caused by a storm in 1962, brought concerned citizens together to raise funds to preserve the site. Seeing this popular support, and agreeing that the house had tremendous value as a unique historic resource, the City of Portland purchased the estate in 1964 for $225,000. Fifteen months were spent restoring it. The mansion opened to the public in 1965, and has been a community landmark ever since.
A house of historical significance and visual magnificence, the Pittock Mansion today offers us a uniquely personal opportunity to peek into the past, and study our world as it was - from the viewpoint of one Portland family

The Nemours Estate is a 300-acre country estate with jardin à la française formal gardens and a French neoclassical mansion in Wilmington, Delaware. Built to resemble a French château, its 105 rooms on five floors occupy nearly 47,000 sq ft. It shares the grounds at 1600 Rockland Road with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and both are owned by the Nemours Foundation.
Nemours was created by Alfred I. du Pont in 1909–10 as a gift for his second wife, Alicia. It was named for the north-central French town of Nemours, which was affiliated with his great-great-grandfather, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours. Carrère and Hastings designed the mansion, which is in the Louis XVI style of French architecture.
The house contains rare 18th-century French furniture and an eclectic collection of notable antiques, works of art and tapestries. Artworks range from 16th-century religious works to paintings by the European masters to early works by Americans Frederic Remington and Sidney Lawrence.
Of particular interest is a rare Louis XVI musical clock, circa 1785, by David Roentgen and Peter Kinzing, which plays four tunes on a dulcimer and pipe organ. Another clock at the mansion with a connection to French royalty is one made for Marie Antoinette, which she never received.
The mansion also has a chair from the 1937 coronation of King George VI, an event which was attended by Alfred I. du Pont's third wife Jessie, and a chair from Independence Hall. Alfred I. du Pont's own portrait is also in the mansion.
The estate has the most developed and largest jardin à la française (French formal garden)-style landscape park and collection of individual gardens in North America. The design is patterned after the gardens of Versailles surrounding the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles. Their central axis extends ⅓ of a mile from the mansion facade, paralleling the main avenue leading to the house. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with plantings, fountains, pools, a carillon tower, statuary, and a pavilion surrounded by naturalized woodlands.
The named features include:
The Boxwood Garden – French parterre garden with boxwood edging and a central faun fountain.
The Colonnade (1926) – memorial to Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours and his son Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, designed by Thomas Hastings.
The Maze Garden – a maze garden with main hedges of Western Arborvitae 'Spring Grove', inner hedges of Japanese Barberry 'Crimson Pygmy', and central statue of Achievement, by Henri Crenier, atop a base with images of Triton and Neptune's face.
The Reflecting Pool (1 acre) – 40 feet in diameter, with 157 jets, backed by Japanese cryptomeria, pink flowering horse chestnut, and pin oaks.
The Sunken Gardens – designed by Alfred Victor du Pont and Gabriel Masséna. Features large lake, grottoes, and 1930 statue by Charles-Marie Sarrabezolles (1888–1971). A. V. du Pont (1900–1970) was the only son of the owner and an architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The Temple of Love – in classical style, with life-sized statue of Diana (1780) by Jean-Antoine Houdon.
The Nemours mansion and gardens reopened its gates on May 1, 2008, after closing in 2005 for a 3-year, $39 million renovation. The work, commissioned by the Nemours Foundation, was performed by world-class conservators, artisans and craftspeople who refurbished furniture, fabrics, tapestries, interior finishes, paintings, and sculptures. The comprehensive reconstruction included replacing the entire electrical system, draining and repairing the 800,000-gallon reflecting pool, and landscape restoration of the extensive formal gardens plantings, constructed design elements, and statuary.

Stained glass window by Ferguson & Urie features Wyselaskie’s initials “JDW” and “1873”.
Built 1873 by wealthy pastoralist John Dixon Wyselaskie on his station first settled 1840, architects Davidson & Henderson. After Wyselaskie‘s death in 1883, property was sold to Gerald Neville Buckley. Property was acquired 1946 for a Soldier Settlement Scheme. The contents of the house had been sold when the McIntyre family purchased the homestead & farm in 1951. The unoccupied house became dilapidated and vandalised until saved by Kevin McIntyre. His ongoing restoration is returning the house to its former glory.
“Mr Wyselaski is improving the approaches to his homestead, having decided to erect a lodge at the entrance of the park, which is designed by Messrs Davidson and Co., in their very best style. The iron ornamental gates to be placed at the approach to the park are being manufactured by Messrs Humble and Nicholson, of the Vulcan Foundry, and their cost will be much below the price of the imported article.” [Geelong Advertiser 17 Oct 1877]
“A Handsome Bequest to the Presbyterian Church.— Amongst the probates granted in the Equity Court . . . the late Mr. John Dickson Wyselaskie, of Wickliffe House, Esplanade, St. Kilda, and of Narrapumelap station, Wickliffe . . . The deceased bequeathed all his personal lands, etc., to his wife, Mary Jane Austin Wyselaskie, and he also bequeathed to his trustees . . . the sum of £20,000, to be applied in paying or augmenting the salaries or stipends of professors or teachers engaged in the preparation of young men for the ministry of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria.” [Bendigo Advertiser 29 Jun 1883]
“Messrs. Raleigh, Aitken, and Co. report having sold on account of the executors of late J. D. Wyselaskie, the Narrapumelap Estate, situated near Wickliffe, in the Western district of Victoria containing an area of about 26,382 acres of freehold land, together with about 22,296 sheep, at a satisfactory price, the purchaser being Mr. Mars Buckley of Toorak.” [The Argus 26 Jun 1884]
“The shearers of Narrapumelap Station have refused to sign the pastoralists’ agreement. Today they demanded £1 per 100, in lieu of 18/6 offered by the owner. The whole of the shearers are leaving the station.” [The Argus 5 Oct 1906]
“In the interests of the Red Cross Fund Mr Gerald Buckley threw his fine domain and residence open to the public on Saturday last. . . the knowledge that everyone who came to Narrapumelap was doing his best to allay the pain and suffering of some wounded fellow-countryman, who had been gallantly fighting for the race in Europe, swept away all fear . . . Once the domain of -Narrapumelap is entered upon it is realised that the skilled hand of man has been allowed to enhance the natural beauties of the place. Imposingly situated on an eminence overlooking the Hopkins, the house stands out prominently, and is approached by a winding avenue of pines and elms. A drive of .half a mile brings one to the gates of the garden, where visitors leave their buggies, horses, etc., in the shelter of the trees and then stroll to the gates and cheerfully-pay 1/- and pass on up the broad drive of the shrubbery, now bright with beautiful masses of golden Cootamundra, with here and there the red flowering gums in brilliant contrast. . . . the Red Cross Fund of Wickliffe benefited to the extent of £27.” [Ararat Advertiser 27 Jul 1915]
“an enjoyable afternoon was spent amidst such surroundings in the beautiful garden and ground with its conservatories and other attractions, and to the accompaniment of delightful strains from the pianola and gramophone. Narrapumelap has a wide path, and from that the ground is terraced down to the drive in front. One enters up the steps on the terrace. These steps are guarded at the top by two stone lions, which on this occasion were covered with two handsome skins of a lion and a tiger, with heads stuffed and mouths wide open.” [Willaura Farmer 29 Jul 1915]
“Messrs T. H. Laidlaw and Co. report having sold direct on account of Mr Gerald Burkley 14,160 acres of his well-known "Narrupumelap" Estate, situated at Wickliffe. This property contains splendid agricultural and fattening land, end was secured by the Closer Settlement Board at £6/5/- per acre. This is the most important land sale that has taken place in the Western District for many years, the purchase money amounting to £88,500. The Closer Settlement Board are to be congratulated on securing such a choice property for the returned soldiers.” [Portland Guardian 25 Oct 1920]
ELDER, SMITH & CO. LTD Acting under instructions from P. C. JENSEN, Esq., of Narrapumelap Estate, will Sell without reserve, the whole of his Valuable Furniture and Effects, in excellent condition, which will be removed to the Wickliffe Hall for convenience of sale. GENERAL FURNISHINGS . . . BEDROOM FURNISHINGS . . . CARPETS . . . LINOLEUMS . . . CURTAINS . . . KITCHEN . . . Owing to Mr. Jensen's departure from Wickliffe, the whole of the above will be for Unreserved Sale.” [Portland Guardian 19 Jul 1948]

Central apse, northern side. Frescoe of the legend of the Holy Blood: the Communion.
During the 20th-century restoration works, some Romanesque frescoes from the 1160s were discovered here. Other murals are dated to Charlemagne's reign. The UNESCO recognized these as "Switzerland's greatest series of figurative murals, painted c. A.D. 800, along with Romanesque frescoes and stuccoes".
The original single nave church with five apses has several significant Early Middle Ages frescoes from around 800. The paintings are organized in five rows that stretch from the southern wall across the west wall to the northern wall. The top row features scenes from the life of King David of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. The next three rows show scenes from the youth, life, and Passion of Christ. The bottom row contains scenes from the crucifixion of St. Andreas. On the western wall the rows are tied together with an image of the Last Judgment. The paintings were done in a limited range of colors including ochre, red, and brown and help in the "comprehension of the evolution of certain Christian iconographic themes, like that of the last judgment".
The apses and the eastern wall were repainted in the 12th century with Romanesque frescos showing a variety of biblical themes including the dinner of Herod Antipas (where the dancing of Herodias' daughter leads to the execution of John the Baptist), the wise and foolish virgins, apostles, and St. Stephen.

A pretty church, not large, but with some interesting features. The oldest part
is the norman south doorway and there are three major memorials and a good C15
screen.
However Pevsner makes no mention of the wall paintings, surviving mainly in the
north aisle and presumably a recent find?

The Michigan shoreline features numerous condominiums and office buildings in various styles. Here, they converge into abstraction.
Most noticeable on the left is the Aqua, is a beautiful new building located near the harbour with an ornate exterior design achieved by pouring each concrete floor plate in a unique wavy pattern. The external variations mean some residents have spacious balconies that are very long and wide; others have ornamental balconies that are very short and far too narrow even for a chair.
12/30/07 – Today’s Roulette Challenge features the Thirteen Things group. With mine, I’d thought it would be fun to add a twist. A baker’s dozen of declarations, one (1) is an untruth.
Guess which one it is.
I’ll announce who picks the untruth in a week.
1. I am an Aries, born in the year of the Pig
2. I seriously considered purchasing a brewery a few years ago. It is located in Roslyn, WA (where they filmed Northern Exposure). The obstacle which stopped me was not finding a business partner.
3. Farscape is my favorite show. I consider last half of the 4th season the best TV I’ve ever seen (most particularly the episodes “Prayer” & “Terra Firma”…Rygel on a sugar high, totally classic!)
4. I have a friend who was once picked up by the Secret Service. During the 1992 campaign year, he created flyers that said “George Bush Will Die”…he was being funny because it was not a threat; after all, everybody dies eventually. The Secret Service does not have a sense of humor, but fortunately for him they got the joke & let him go with full knowledge of exactly how they could've made the rest of his punk-ass 19 yr old life miserable. In a post 9-11 world, I don’t think he would have been so lucky.
5. My Mac desktop is so old, it doesn’t have USB ports. It contains years of story ideas, opening chapters, and notes.
6. When Hank (one of our cats) was a year old, he played chase with the neighborhood squirrels. He would chase one across the yard and up a tree, then the squirrel would chase him the other way, and up a tree at the other end of the yard. They would do this for hours.
7. While pregnant with Henry (our 6 yr old), my wife and I bought into a time-share program. We have yet to use it.
8. I mourn books when I finish them. I foresee myself being really depressed when I finish Acacia.
9. Once, I was a security guard backstage at a Grateful Dead concert. I was more excited about Cracker opening than actually being backstage. I was disappointed nobody working security but me (& my friend who got me the gig) seemed to have heard of Cracker.
10. My wife has a half-brother. His uncle wrote “Friends In Low Places,” sung by Garth Brooks.
11. “No regrets” is a life philosophy introduced to me by a friend. I later added “live and learn.” Ironic that she is one of my few friends I would regret losing contact with, if I let myself.
12. The only new car we have purchased had 10 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. I was bummed when it surpassed a hundred miles.
13. Almost all pictures with my kids in them are Friend & Family. This is because of all the incidences of people having images of their children stolen and reposted on Orkut. I’ve seen it too many times to not be freaked about it. If you have pictures of your children on your photostream, I highly recommend if you do the same.

Park History
Despite the climate and formidable geological features the Grand Canyon area shows evidence of habitation as far back as 2000 B.C. These ancient people pursued a hunter/gatherer existence. At about 500 B.C. a new group of people--the Anasazi ("ancient ones" in Navajo)--appeared on the scene. In 600-700 A.D. the Coconino people also settled the area, but climatic conditions or other factors caused both groups to abandon the area around 1150. One hundred fifty years later the Cerbat people, ancestors of the modern Havasupai Indians, moved into the area, while the Paiutes simultaneously moved to the north rim.
The first whites to see the canyon were members of a battalion of Spanish explorers in 1540. Led by Cardenas and guided by Hopi Indians, these soldiers were searching for fabled golden cities. Cardenas probably reached the canyon somewhere between Moran Point and Desert View. Peering down into the canyon, members of the party were fooled by the immense scale of the geological features. They vastly underestimated the size and scale of the canyon--they thought the river was no more than 6 feet across! Not finding the passage the gold they sought, the party left, and it wasn't for more than 200 years, until 1776, that another Spaniard, missionary and priest Francisco Tomás Garcés, again gazed upon, and this time traveled in, the canyon. Garcés was the first to call the dark silt-heavy river "Colorado" (red).
The first American to visit the area may have been James Ohio Pattie in 1826, although there is some question about whether this visit actually occurred. In 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo granted sovereignty over Arizona and the canyon to the United States. In 1857 a survey party lead by Lt. Joseph Ives sailed up the Colorado to its furthest navigable point and ascended beyond into the canyon on foot. Missionary Joseph Hamblin made a number of visits to the area between 1858 and 1864.
Through the 1870's and 1880's the canyon saw some mining activities. There was also cattle grazing on the Kaibab Plateau north of the rim during this period which unfortunately had devastating effects on the grasslands there which persist to this day. The arrival of the railroad in Flagstaff brought increased tourist interest and activity. In 1858 F. W. von Egloffstein made the first drawings of the canyon, and the work of renowned wilderness artist Thomas Moran, who accompanied a U.S. Geological Survey expedition led by Charles Dutton in 1880-81,also drew attention to the scenic wonders of the area. Henry Holmes, who also traveled with Dutton, made drawings which were less "romantic" than Moran's paintings but more precise and technically accurate.
In the early 1880's the first tourist facilities--a log cabin in the what is now Grand Canyon Village--were built by John Hance. In 1884 the first hotel was built--at the bottom of the canyon. By 1905 Grand Canyon village had begun to grow and the El Tovar hotel had been designed and built.
Efforts to preserve the canyon began before the turn of the century. Senator Benjamin Harrison introduced the first bill to make the Grand Canyon a national park in 1882. Unsuccessful, he introduced similar bills again in 1883 and 1886. Later, as president of the United States, Harrison made portions of the canyon a forest reserve in 1893.
One of the prime factors in preserving the magnificent canyon was president and conservationist Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt first visited the park area in 1903 and was very impressed. His oft-quoted statements include the following:
"Leave it as it is.You cannot improve upon it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do it to keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American...should see."
In 1908 Roosevelt declared the Grand Canyon area a national monument under the powers granted to the president by the Antiquities Act. Further unsuccessful bills to make the area a national park were introduced in 1910 and 1911. Finally, in 1917 Representative Carl Hayden and Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst sponsored a bill which would ultimately prove successful.
On February 26, 1919, Woodrow Wilson signed the bill which made the canyon a national park. In 1927 more land including Kaibab forest land on the north rim was added to the park. In 1932 President Herbert Hoover protected additional land in the area as a new Grand Canyon National Monument. Another national monument, Marble Canyon, was created upriver in 1969. In 1975 President Gerald Ford signed a bill which effectively doubled the size of the park, incorporating sections from the Grand Canyon National Monument, Marble Canyon, and the Kaibab National Forest.
The battle to conserve the canyon has never really stopped. In addition to the 1965 Glen Canyon Dam upriver there were plans in the 1960's to dam the river in the canyon itself. The Sierra Club's successful battle against this plan cost it its tax exempt status.
