**Koreshan Unity Settlement Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 76000599, date listed 5/4/1976
U.S. 41 at Estero River
Estero, FL (Lee County)
The Koreshan Unity has been described by one of its members as a "commonwealth, conforming to the ancient Christian communal life" (Michel, "A Gift to the People"). The movement was founded in the latter part of the nineteenth century by Dr. Cyrus Teed and reached its fruition in the first decade of the twentieth century at Estero, Florida.
During the 1870's and 1880's. Dr. Teed (who had begun to refer to himself as the prophet Cyrus) attracted some followers with his ideas on healing and his beliefs about the nature of the universe. In 1886, he moved to Chicago where he succeeded in making more converts. An organization for prospective members, the Society Arch Triumphant, was formed in 1887, and in 1888, a cooperative home for members of the Church and a publishing house for dissemination of information about the movement were established in Chicago. By that time, Cyrus Teed was using the name Koresh, derived from Cyrus in the Hebrew language, and was rapidly developing his theories.
In 1893, Dr. Teed decided to establish what was originally intended as a branch colony, and in the fall of that year he visited the Ft. Myers area of Florida in search of a site for his new settlement. Within a few months, he received a donation of land on the Estero River from a German settler named Gustave Damkohler and soon a nucleus of colonists arrived there to begin to construct a community. In spite of the difficulties presented by climate, terrain, and insects, a few buildings were constructed at the settlement in the first two years. (1)

A moment of reflection as they lit the unity candle. Unfortunately since I was part of the wedding and could not handle the position of my camera, I was only able to capture the bride.

This Cadillac was randomly parked in a vacant field on the north side of Highway 26 in the tiny community of Unity in eastern Oregn's Baker County.
Saturday morning we took the Queen City Underground Tour in Over-The-Rhine, and walked up Vine Street to several sites.

The IMAGINE PEACE AND UNITY Archway in Imagination Alley is a project of The Over-the-Rhine Community Art Project, a collaborative effort by the Art Academy of Cincinnati and Peaslee Neighborhood Center.
The 16 ft high, 18 ton concrete structure has mosaic panels created by children and adults at Washington Park School, St. Francis Seraph, Lighthouse Community Services, the Drop-Inn Center, Peaslee Neighborhood Center and more.
The structure was built by local artist, Greg Schmidt. Mosaic panels were created at the Miami University Center for Community Engagement. The unveiling and dedication ceremony took place on October 2, 2004 at 1317 Vine Street.
The archway frames the entrance to Imagination Alley, a small pocket park owned by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and located in the 1300 block of Vine Street. Large mosaic panels (based on designs by children at Memorial Community Center) were installed a few years ago.

Suzanne Fisher used residents’ images and ideas in the final design of the arch top. Funding came from the Fine Arts Fund and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
A bit ironic. They sing unity after unifying. Jesse Michaels (of Operation Ivy) joined his former band members to sing Unity. Vic, who was standing right behind me said, "Wow, you don't see that every day." It was a special night.
1905-08, Frank Lloyd Wright
In 1905, after the original Unity Church burned down, the Universalist congregation of Oak Park, Illinois turned to architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design them a new structure. The result was Unity Temple. Wright was not only living in Oak Park, but was a Unitarian - which faith then had many beliefs in common with Universalism. The congregation needed a space of worship, as well as a community room. There were several immediate problems that the architect had to work with in order to satisfy the client. The budget for the Universalist congregation was rather small for its needs: $40,000 US dollars; and the proposed building site was long, but not very wide. Additionally, the building site stood on a busy street. And finally, the architect was expected to design not only the structure, but furniture and stained glass for the building. Charles E. Roberts, an engineer, inventor and an important early client of Frank Lloyd Wright, served on the church's building committee and was a key figure in seeing that Wright's vision for the church became a reality. For Roberts, Wright also remodeled Roberts' home and the Charles E. Roberts Stable.
To accommodate the needs of the congregation, Wright divided the community space from the temple space through a low, middle loggia that could be approached from either side. This was an efficient use of space and kept down on noise between the two main gathering areas: those coming for religious services would be separated via the loggia from those coming for community events. This design was one of Wright's first uses of a bipartite design: with two portions of the building similar in composition and separated by a lower passageway, and one section being larger than the other. The Guggenheim Museum in New York City is another bipartite design.
To reduce noise from the street, Wright eliminated street level windows in the temple. Instead, natural light comes from stained glass windows in the roof and clerestories along the upper walls. Because the members of the parish would not be able to look outside, Unity Temple's stained glass was designed with green, yellow, and brown tones in order to evoke the colors of nature. The main floor of the temple is accessed via a lower floor (which has seating space), and the room also has two balconies for the seating of the congregation. These varying seating levels allowed the architect to design a building to fit the size of the congregation, but efficiently: no one person in the congregation is more than 40 feet from the pulpit. Wright also designed the building with very good acoustics.
The design of Unity Temple represents a leap forward in design for Wright. In recounting his experiences with Unity Temple, he stated that this design was the first time he ever realized that the real heart of a building is its space, not its walls. Indeed, architectural historians have commented on Wright's genius in creating and manipulating space in his designs; in his book The Master Builders, Peter Blake entitled the section on Wright "The Mastery of Space."
In addition to being very accomplished with making the most out of the space he had, Wright also found the concept of "Unity" was very prominent mainly because of how he managed to fuse together space, experience and the material world. This was key to Unity Temple which has both a common meeting area and the congregation of church-goers. The sanctuary space gives the best example of this according to practicing architect Robert McCarter.
The building was completed in 1908 and officially dedicated on September 26, 1909. The original Universalist (now Unitarian Universalist) congregation still owns and uses Unity Temple, although a separate and secular organization, the Unity Temple Restoration Foundation, is in charge of the building's multi-million dollar restoration effort. Chicago restoration architect Gunny Harboe is in charge of the restoration with CTLGroup providing the engineering and materials technology expertise. In April 2009, Unity Temple, due to water seepage, was added to the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 11 most endangered historic places.
This is one in a set of HDR photos taken along the self-guided walking tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's neighborhood in Oak Park, Illinois. The set includes many of his designs and a few other examples of homes designed in the same period.

Unity Day activities included displays, demonstrations, artifacts and food sampling from different groups in 21 ethnic or cultural booths.

The Unity Now anti-racism event in Ravenscourt Park a few weeks ago. It came after a vile racist attack on the area's beloved POSK centre, (where my school held our school plays), in the days following the EU referendum.

Once you try to enable Unity again in the CCSM you get a lot of conflicts. I found the top bar never displayed again correctly but everything else seemed to work. I logged out and started a new session to get Unity back properly. --- This was uploaded after some comments on my Ubuntu article at DanLynch.org/blog
