Non c’è cultura senza documento, tutto ciò che esiste per il suo stesso esistere non può dimenticarsi.
La Villa Malfitano costituisce insieme con il suo intero patrimonio ed il parco che la circonda, un’importante documento, una straordinaria testimonianza di cultura, un vero e proprio “unicum” nel cuore del capoluogo siciliano.
La Villa voluta da Giuseppe Whitaker, personaggio di spicco nella comunità anglopalermitana di fine ‘800, che alle indiscutibili capacità imprenditoriali accoppiava attitudini e passione per la ricerca tanto naturalistica quanto storico-archeologica, e ancora sensibilità e gusto d’arte, fu costruita tra il 1886 e 1889. Rispecchia in pieno l’ottimismo e l’atmosfera vitale e cosmopolita che regnavano nelle cosi detta “stagione d’oro della Palermo di fine 800, una stagione felice, fastosa e ben rappresentata dagli splendori di molte ville, in cui Palermo era crocevia di grandi interessi commerciali tra l’Europa e l’Africa mediterranea.
I suoi 7 ettari di parco, con vegetazione dalle mille sfumature cromatiche del suo fiorire, circondato da un alto muro di cinta, si trova in pieno centro a pochi passi dal Teatro Politeama.
Oltrepassato il cancello in ferro battuto ci s’inoltra in viali tra alberi monumentali ed esotici, come araucarie, ficus e palme. Il tutto, appare, ancora più sorprendente all’interno di questa esotica cornice.
Giuseppe Whitaker appassionato di botanica, di ornitologia e soprattutto di archeologia ( fu lui ad identificare l’isola di Mozia, dove oggi si trova la sua straordinaria casa-museo) ha riempito Villa Malfitano di collezioni: coralli, arazzi, libri, opere d’arte e di antiquariato, tutti oggetti acquistati per amore, rari, preziosi, belli alla vista e perciò cari al cuore.
Aggirarsi tra le stanze così riccamente arredate è un’esperienza veramente accattivante …. Si respira un’atmosfera vissuta che ancora oggi aleggia….., le vecchie foto di famiglia….., tocchi delicati di fiori sempre freschi……. aria tangibile di casa che vive che spesso si perde nelle tradizionali case museo.

The Whitaker House is a two-story plus attic home with four bedrooms and one bathroom which can also be used as a multi-purpose room. The great room opens up to a large glass back wall looking out onto a generous back porch with glass doors. To the right of the entry is a two-story sitting atrium. The second floor houses three of the bedrooms including a large master bedroom with its own fireplace. On this floor there is also a ceiling hatch offering access to the very spacious unfinished attic. Click the hatch to drop a ladder to walk up to this large extra space that can be used for just about anything you can imagine.
The home is available at the main store:

A name as solid as the town itself. One left after many have closed. Still a part of the community, still a friend of the folks that shop there. An evolution of needs that has changed over the years but still caters to help us plant a garden, fix a water leak, or paint the house. So happy to see one still standing and functioning like so many before.

It's just past 8pm on another hot Georgia evening as Norfolk Southern local job G89 pulls from Whitaker Yard in Austell, GA behind a pair of GP60's.

Surrounded by hills, the park surrounds the lovely Whitaker Museum and Art Gallery, a short drive from my home.

This past Saturday Flickr friend F-Stop Philm and I stopped at the old.
Whitaker School, District #90, in Jackson Township in the Smoky Hills of Kansas. At this time I have not had any luck finding any information about the school. Based on other schools like this in the area, it was most likely built between the late 1880's to the early 1900's and was closed in the late 1950's to early 1960's. Image made with a Pentax K 5.
