Brief History of Berlin, CT The story of the ―Great Swamp region‖ begins in 1686 with the first settlement on Christian Lane. Richard Seymour and fourteen adventurous families from Farmington followed an Indian footpath south to the Mattabasset River where they knew of fertile land. There they built dwellings, a stockade and fort. At night the settlers retreated to the fort for safety. In 1705 permission was granted for the families of ―Great Swamp‖ village to have a minister and meetinghouse of their own eliminating the long walk to Farmington. In those days, attendance at church and town meetings was considered mandatory. It took until 1716 for the first church (meetinghouse) to be ready. The Great Swamp Society's tiny church with four short pews and six long seats soon proved too small. Despite the addition of galleries, the decision was made after much strife and debate to build a new meetinghouse on land near what now is the corner of Farmington Avenue and Porter's Pass. By 1771 quarrels had developed and members agreed to submit matters to arbitration. Colonel John Worthington of Springfield was one of those who agreed to study the situation and mediate a resolution. As a result, the congregation split and sites were set for two separate meetinghouses— East and West. The West Society had the name ―Kensington‖. The East Society adopted the name ―Worthington‖ in gratitude for the colonel's wise counsel. The oak and chestnut timbers and other building materials that could be salvaged were equally divided to build the new meetinghouses in 1774. In early years, town meetings rotated between the meetinghouses. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Worthington Ridge was known as Berlin Street. It was a dirt road—bustling with the noise of taverns, tin shops, blacksmiths, cabinet makers, coopers, saddlers, wagon makers, tailors and hatters. The route was part of the great Boston Post Road, traveled by stagecoaches from New York to Boston until the 1940's when the Berlin Turnpike was built and diverted traffic from the village. One of the first industries to flourish was the tin industry that started in this country with the Pattison Brothers. In 1738, they arrived from Ireland and began making tin plates, mugs, bowls and utensils by hand. This was in a time when families were lucky to have an iron pot or a pewter plate and most dinnerware was made of wood. Tinware became so popular that the Pattisons could not make enough of it. Soon competing tin shops were operating along Berlin Street with goods transported and sold by Yankee Peddlars—the idea of goods sold by traveling peddlars and wagons began here. It has been said that there were so many tin scraps covering the roads that the horses' hooves clicked in rhythm on the shiny metal chips. Residents can still find tin artifacts buried in backyard ―dumps‖. This area was a vibrant village where families, farms, shops and -1- manufacturers resided in close proximity until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During the late 19th century, wealthy businessmen built magnificent homes in this area. In 1974, the Berlin Historic District was formed in order to preserve the integrity of the architecture of the village. Unlike other historic districts that have a predominance of similar period homes, our district is a unique timeline of architectural styles. While this does make preserving its historic look more challenging, the Berlin Historic District Commission is committed to the task. Although faces have changed, Worthington Ridge and its surrounding neighborhoods remain rooted in time and contribute to the character of the larger community. With so much change around us, driving or leisurely walking through the Historic District brings a comforting sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. Older residents still recall the trolley cars that rattled on their tracks down the middle of the Ridge. They remember the farmlands stretching for acres on the East and West before the Turnpike divided the eastside. They remember the mom-and-pop grocery stores and sitting on the front steps with popsicles on a summer's day. What has not changed is the pleasure of walking slowly along the old sidewalks sheltered in the shade of mature trees. Generations of earlier residents have walked these same paths and felt the same sense of place we do. The Berlin Historic District Commission, The Berlin Historical Society and The Friends of the Worthington Meeting House hope that you will enjoy this special place and take home a little more knowledge of the history and architecture that is unique to Berlin. Lewis Edwards House, 695 Worthington Ridge, located just north of the Meetinghouse. Built in 1835, this is a fine example of Greek Revival style popular 1830-1850. Lewis Edwards was a bookbinder. In the late 19th century, the building became a parsonage for the Congregational Church. -2- The Worthington Meetinghouse (pictured above), 723 Worthington Ridge. Built in 1774 in part with timbers from a previous meetinghouse built in 1733, it is one of only a dozen remaining 18th century meetinghouses. This building is a classic example of a functional 18th century meetinghouse. In a time before separation of church and state it served as a place for town meetings, religious services and social events. Its size is massive with a footprint of 62' x 45'. There are 39 windows, all with 20-over-20 divided glass panes. The outside has been restored to its original look prior to the addition of a steeple in 1790. The steeple housed a 600-pound bell that tolled not only for services but to alert the townspeople of events, such as, announcing war, peace, school, birth, death, fires and lost children. The original interior was open like a great barn and a pulpit was located on the North wall. A balcony was added when more seating was needed. The interior has been altered over the years to serve as a church, town hall, school, and offices. In 1848, a fire would have destroyed the building if it were not for the quick action of townspeople who raced to the Meetinghouse and assembled a massive fire brigade to extinguish the flames. The damage was almost immediately repaired, but members voted to build a new church down the road. The building was sold to the town and operated as ―Worthington Town Hall‖. At that time, a second floor was added with the upstairs being used for town and public meetings and the downstairs for two schoolrooms. In 1907, the building was transformed into a ―modern‖ four-room schoolhouse that held grades 1-8, later changed to grades 1-4. Inside, initials of many former students of Worthington School can be seen scratched in the rafters. The school operated until 1957 when the Berlin Board of Education moved its offices there. With the construction of a new town hall in 1976, the building was left vacant. Dedicated citizens have been working to give the building new life as a community cultural center and museum. -3- 764 Worthington Ridge, built before 1850. The house is a good example of an early 19th century vernacular building. Typical features are the street parallel- ridge orientation and location of the second-floor windows directly under the eaves. In the mid 19th century, this house was owned by Deacon Alfred North, a licensed pharmacist who operated a general store on the property for many years. He also served as town clerk and a state representative. 783 Worthington Ridge – built about 1860. This home is a very well preserved example of Italian Villa Style, inspired by the picturesque houses of the Italian countryside. Note the characteristic flat roof and fancy woodwork. First Berlin Academy Building, 801 Worthington Ridge. This is a typical early 19th century structure with added Victorian detailing. Built in 1800, the school was organized by leading Berlin citizens. Emma Hart Willard taught here and later became famous as the founder and director of a private academy in Troy, NY. The building then became a harness maker and saddler's shop. The upper floor was known as Guernsey Hall. In 1831, the building was sold to Lysis Lamb who added a large tin shop that was removed later. Lamb was known as the inventor of an early cooking stove. Berlin Post Office – In early times the post office was a room in a general store or tavern. Berlin's post office moved many times. The building on Worthington Ridge is rented to the United States Postal Service and manned by one postal worker. The interior maintains the old time service window and post boxes. War Memorial Monument – originally dedicated in 1920 following WWI to honor residents of East Berlin, Berlin and Kensington who served in the armed forces in time of war. Separate tablets honoring all who served in WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War have been added to the Monument. 811 Worthington Ridge – c.1800. Jedediah Norton began building in 1790 with the rest of the house extended between 1800-1840 incorporating both Federal and Greek Revival styles. Of note is that the interior includes a surviving wall mural thought to be an original element. The painting, attributed to Isaac Sanford of New Haven, depicts the First Conservatory in England. Details of the mural reflect the popularity of trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye) with a gold border and hand-wrought nails painted on the wall to give the appearance of a framed painting on canvas. -4- The Berlin Hotel, 812 Worthington Ridge – c.1814. Located on what was originally known as ―Boston Corner‖. The hotel operated as a tavern run by Benjamin Galpin. It was a regular stopping place on the Boston Post Road. Stages running between Boston and New York changed horses there. The post office occupied a room until the hotel closed in 1862. Although altered over the years, the basic form of an early 19th century central-hall building remains. 820 Worthington Ridge – c.1800. During much of the early and mid 19th century, this house was attached to an adjacent house of hat-maker Joseph Booth. Booth operated a shop on the property. Records show a series of business occupants that manufactured spectacles, jewelry, harnesses and cigars. The building was moved sometime in the 1870s or 1880s. Daniel Dunbar House, 825 Worthington Ridge, c. 1804. Daniel Dunbar practiced law in Berlin from 1804 to 1841. His office was in a separate building and had a colorful history. For a time it was used as the town clerk's office. Later a group called the Millerites – a doomsday sect who believed the world would end on October 22, 1843 used it as a meeting place. It then was converted to a grocery store and saloon that enjoyed a ―particularly bad‖ reputation. The house is a well-preserved example of a simple vernacular dwelling, typical of the period. Joseph Booth House, 826 Worthington Ridge, c. 1800. Originally housed a hat shop. According to Berlin historian Catharine North, Booth was partially deaf and used this to his advantage in bargaining for furs with neighborhood boys. Booth would name a price he would pay then grow deaf to all other demands. Second Berlin (Worthington) Academy Building, 834 Worthington Ridge, c. 1831. With the success of the academy at #801, a new building was built. The original floor plan included the school on the first floor and space for the Presbyterian Church on the second floor. Later, the church moved and the second floor operated as a courthouse. By 1873 declining enrollment forced the school to close and it was sold to the Brandegee family who used it as a private residence. The building is a fine and well-preserved example of the Greek Revival style. Note the ornate belfry. In 1949 the building was donated to the Berlin Free Library who restored it in 1955. Library cards are still maintained manually. -5- Elishama Brandegee House, 840 Worthington Ridge, c. 1845. This house is significant for its connection to the prominent Brandegee family. Elishama Brandegee, Jr., a prosperous Berlin merchant, built two almost identical adjacent houses. Originally #840 was built to house the teacher for the Worthington Academy. In the middle and late 19th century it was the residence of Elishama's son, Dr. Elishama Brandegee. His wife, Lucy, became fascinated with the silkworm industry and planted numerous mulberry trees on the property. Their son founded the first silk and cotton thread-company in East Berlin. Emma Hart Willard began her teaching career in 1804 at age seventeen in a small schoolhouse that stood in the mulberry orchard adjacent to the Brandegee house. She went on to teach at the Berlin (Worthington Academy) and later founded a private female seminary in Troy, New York, now operating as Emma Willard School. This house is one of the finest and best-preserved examples of the Greek Revival style of architecture in the District. George E. Prentice House ("The Ledges"), 845 Worthington Ridge, c. 1930. This is an unusually large colonial revival dwelling. Prentice was an English immigrant trained in the New Britain hardware industry. He subsequently founded the Prentice Manufacturing Company in 1912 to make metal fasteners and zippers. The Prentice Zipper plant on New Britain Avenue, Kensington employed 200 people in the late 1920s. That factory was converted to condominiums now known as Prentice Place. Blakeslee Barnes House, 857 Worthington Ridge, c.1823. This is an early 19th century house with extensive Greek revival and Colonial revival additions and alternations. Note the 2-story porte-cochere on large Tuscan columns with 2nd floor balcony. Blakeslee Barns was a tinsmith and operated a shop on the premises. Lafayette Gladding House, 873 Worthington Ridge, c. 1880 – an unusually well preserved example of the Italian Villa Style. This style took its inspiration from the picturesque architecture of the Italian countryside. Some buildings are more elaborate, but this example features the characteristic flat roof and ornate woodwork. Lafayette Gladding was a farmer. Picture backyards that stretched for acres behind these houses before the Berlin Turnpike cut through the land. The Berlin Congregational Church, (BCC) 878 Worthington Ridge, c. 1850. After a fire damaged the Meetinghouse, the members of what was then known as the Second Congregational Church moved to construct a more modern building. The church building was one of the first to adopt the new Gothic Revival style, popular 1850-1860. The original clapboard spire sported 4 gabled dormers. Internal features include pointed arched frames, buttresses and a steep main gable. The steeple clock was donated by town historian, Catharine North, in memory of her father, Deacon Alfred North. -6- Reverend Nathan Fenn house, 883 Worthington Ridge, c. 1780 is significant as the home of Rev. Fenn, first minister of the Worthington parish who built this house at the time of his ordination. After his death in 1799, Jesse Eddy owned the property and had a large tin shop on the premises. In the mid-19th century., his daughter and her husband, Nathanial James from NYC used it as a summer home. This house is typical of the plain style homes preferred in New England until the last years of the 18th century. The double Dutch door is original. Phineas Squires House, 888 Worthington Ridge, c.1790. Phineas Squires, a wealthy, prominent resident sold the house in 1811 to Reverend Samuel Goodrich, the third pastor of the Second Congregational Church (BCC) and father of Samuel Goodrich, the children's author known as ―Peter Parley‖. The house reflects the changing tastes of its various owners. Built as a typical 18th century central hall house, it was probably altered by Goodrich in the mid-19th century to add large ground-floor windows and the Greek-Revival portico. 901 Worthington Ridge, c. 1780 example of 18th century central chimney house. This was the home of local historian, Catharine North, great granddaughter of Simeon North, first official pistol manufacturer in the United States. Miss North (1840-1914) devoted her later years to researching and recording Berlin's history. Community Grounds and Community House – (pictured above) served as a town community center for many years. The large shingled building sheltered playground children on rainy days and hosted many town events. The building and original playground were demolished in the late 1970s. -7- Deacon Daniel Galpin House, 914 Worthington Ridge, c. 1790. Galpin was a revolutionary war veteran. His daughters ran a school at one time in a front room. The Deacon was one of Berlin's first ardent abolitionists. After his death, a side lot was sold to build the Second Congregational Church in 1850 – now Berlin Congregational. The house was moved to its present location that same year. Ashael Hart House, 935 Worthington Ridge, c. 1785 - Ashael was a tailor and maintained a shop in the rear. When he died in 1821, his son, Freedom Hart, took over the property and used it as a shop to make combs. In 1892 to 1955, the first Berlin Library (pictured below) was located just north of the property. This Victorian style building no longer exists. Grace L. Raymond House, 198 Hudson Street, c.1925 – architecturally significant as a well-preserved example of the Bungalow style. Historically the house is significant for its connection to Raymond Engineering, a large metalworking firm organized by Horace H. Raymond around 1940. The plain rear additions were built to house Raymond's original shop. Jesse Hart House, 203 Hudson Street, c.1800. This is an unusual brick house with four chimneys and fireplaces in each corner rather than centrally located. Jesse Hart was a cabinet-maker, postmaster, tavern owner and half brother to Emma Hart Willard. The Galpin Store, 943 Worthington Ridge, c. 1862. This brick, two bay façade structure is an important 19th century Berlin landmark. This is a rare example of early commercial architecture. Much of the detail has been lost in modern alternations but it shows the close similarity of early store buildings to residential structures. The brick building replaced an earlier store building that was destroyed in a fire. The building operated as a store through the 1950s. -8- Elijah Loveland Tavern, 944 Worthington Ridge, c.1797. The tavern operated from 1797 to 1812. A ballroom was located on the northern end and a barroom in what is now the South front room. The ballroom was torn down by the grandson in the mid 19th century. Like most other commercial buildings of this era (including the Berlin Hotel and Fuller Tavern), it is domestic in scale and construction. Samuel Porter House, 949 Worthington Ridge, c.1786. This is a well-preserved 18th century brick Federal style house with extensive Greek revival ornamentation added in the early 1800s. The entry way is identical to the Congregational parsonage (#850) and Elishama Brandegee (#840) homes. Samuel Porter served as postmaster and operated the original store next door. The house was later occupied by Henry Galpin who rebuilt the store. Postal Marker (pictured above)– brownstone post located at the northeastern corner of Middletown Road and Worthington Ridge. This is one of the few postal zone markers left from Ben Franklin's time. He devised a system whereby postage was charged by zones marked in miles between distances. This marker tells the postrider that it was 11 (XI) miles to the next stop in Hartford (H). Elishama Brandegee, Jr. House, 966 Worthington Ridge. A well-preserved center hall house with attached barns. Twin chimneys opened up space for a front to rear entry hall admitting more natural light and allowing for better ventilation. In the 20th century it was became a private school known as Merricourt and later St. James School, a private school for boys. Frank Brandegee's cabin –southeastern corner of Middletown Road and Worthington Ridge. In the 1950s, Frank Brandegee, a lifelong bachelor and familiar figure around town lived in this tiny building. He never drove a car, traveling everywhere by bicycle. -9- Brandegee Hall (pictured above), 983 Worthington Ridge c. 1884. William Brandegee built this longtime public building. It is one of only a few dozen surviving examples of Swiss chalet style architecture (shallow pitched roof, wide overhanging eaves, board and batten). Swiss Chalet, one of many exotic styles popular in the US during the mid 19th century. Originally it was used for roller- skating and other forms of entertainment. Later The Berlin Playhouse, a local repertory group used its stage. The Town of Berlin acquired the building in 1907 and it served as town hall until 1974. Walter Gwatkin House, 1006 Worthington Ridge, c. 1861 – Architecturally significant as an unusually elaborate example of the eclectic Colonial Revival style that borrows from many styles including Dutch Colonial, Georgian and Victorian. The porch was an addition in the early 1900s. Gwatkin was a prosperous butcher, farmer and landowner. His land extended for twenty-five acres to what is now West View Terrace. Leland Gwatkin House, 1015 Worthington Ridge, c.1895 – is a significant and unusual example of late Victorian Vernacular architecture. The asymmetry is typical of Queen Anne style, but the shingles and exposed rafters and lozenge- pane windows are typical of Craftsman style houses. Gwatkin was the son of Walter Gwatkin who resided at #1006. In the early 1900s the building was the site where the trolley from New Britain would stop and turn around. -10- In more recent years the house was the home of Dr. Hollis Foster whose family medical practice was located on the south side. Dr. Foster was known to make house calls into the 1950s and 60s. Edmund Boldero House, 1022 Worthington Ridge, c. 1801. Edmund Boldero along with Reverend Evan Johns emigrated from England in 1801. They built and lived jointly in this house with their families. Reverend Johns became the second minister of the Worthington Meetinghouse in 1802, but was dismissed in 1811, reportedly due to an uncontrollable temper. In the 1850s, it was owned by Sherlock Hall and served as a post office. In the 1970s a front porch was removed to restore the home to its original look. Charles A. Gillin House, 1035 Worthington Ridge, c.1895. This house is a good example of a Victorian Vernacular dwelling. It is a large house with an array of ornamental woodwork and ornate front and rear porches. Such detail was made more affordable by 19th century advances in wood forming technology. Such ornate features became very popular 1860-1900. The Wilcox Mansion (pictured above) – was torn down in the 1959 and replaced with a modern ranch. Built by Samuel Curtis Wilcox in 1860, this Victorian mansion was the country home of the Wilcox family who owned a brick city home on Russell Street in New Britain. The Victorian barn on Sunset was once part of the Wilcox estate as was a small carriage house (now a pool house). -11- Fuller Tavern (pictured above), 1055 Worthington Ridge, c1769. Visited by George Washington and documented in his diary entry of November 10,1789. The tavern was the site of Masonic lodge meetings during 19th century. A mural with Masonic emblems was uncovered during early 20th century restoration work. The center chimney provided an enormous thermal mass that stored and released heat for hours. There was a large barroom downstairs with original leaded glass windows and a ballroom upstairs. The George Porter House, 1062 Worthington Ridge, c. 1770. Dr. Josiah Meigs Ward, a prominent resident was its most notable occupant. Trained by Dr. James Percival (father of the poet and State geologist, James Gates Percival). He died in the spotted fever epidemic of 1825 at age 43. During the 1880s-1890s, it was owned by Berlin Iron Bridge Company vice president, Burr Kellog Fields. Fields was one of a number of Berlin Bridge Company executives who settled on Worthington Ridge at the time. During the 19th century, the house was also known as ―Cherryfields‖. Architecturally, it is one of the few high-styled buildings in Berlin that pre-dates the Greek Revival style. Built on a central-hall plan, it retains numerous elaborate federal details, including a portico and fanlight. Its early origins are indicated by surviving 12-over-12 sash and the projecting plain board window frames on the second floor. -12- Charles M. Jarvis House – 154 Sunset Lane (c. 1905). Charles M. Jarvis was head of the Berlin Iron Bridge Company that operated from 1870 and became Berlin Steel Construction. This is an immense 2 and a half story, Tudor Revival/Shingle style mansion. Note the diamond pane windows above the portico. This property included its own bowling alley, unique in its time. There was also a barn and tower that burned to the ground in 1971. Phineas Squires Case House, 1211 Worthington Ridge, c. 1750 - seriously deteriorated during the middle years of the 20th century. Homes like this were restored (this one by Lloyd Duval) with the booming economy of the 1980s and renewed appreciation of colonial homes. In 1912, Howard Bunce, a 17-year-old, built what is the oldest surviving airplane in Connecticut. The Bunce Curtiss- Type Pusher plane was disassembled and stored in the barn until rediscovered in 1962. The plane is now on display at the Bradley Air Museum. Maple Hill Cemetery – a classic New England rural cemetery with graves dating back to the 18th century. Captain David Sage House, 1276 Worthington Ridge, c. 1720. Built by Benjamin or Capt David Sage, it remained in the same family until the 1970s. Once located on an extensive parcel of land that included apple orchards, the land was sold off for a subdivision leaving only the house and lot. The house is Georgian in style with 3 bay façade, narrow clapboards and hand wrought nails. The Sage family donated land to Berlin for Sage Park. More information is available on all historic homes in Berlin, East Berlin and Kensington in the Historic House Survey conducted by the State of Connecticut Historical Commission in 1985. Volumes can be viewed in the History Room at the Peck Memorial Library and at the Berlin Historical Society. -13- A Key to Architectural Styles First Period (1625-1725) – Originally one room deep with prominent central chimney. Often had a second story overhang on front. Casement windows were small and few in number with diamond shaped leaded panes. Roofline was steeply pitched. Outside covered with narrow unpainted wood clapboards. Georgian Colonial (1725-1775) – Classic symmetry of floor plan and façade. Central chimney, later replaced by end or side chimneys. The roofline was most commonly gambrel sometimes gabled. Doors were paneled and framed with columns or pilasters capped by a cornice or triangular pediment. The main doorway often had a row of rectangular windows on the sides or on the transom above. Buildings were constructed in wood or brick. Federal (1780-1830) – distinguished mainly by decorative features such as fanlights in the gables and over the doorways, intricate cornices with elaborate moldings. Greek Revival ( 1830-1860) – drew inspiration from the architecture of ancient Greece. Doorways, often with sidelights and glazed transoms, were framed by pilasters and heavy lintels. Classic details such as columns and dentils are common. Greek Revival houses are most commonly oriented so that their gable ends face the street similar to a Greek temple. Italianate (1850 and later). There are many varieties, but all share use of round- headed windows, flat or shallow-pitched roofs and overhanging eaves visually supported by decorative brackets. This style often includes bay windows and elaborate porches. Second Empire (1860-1890). This style is based upon French Renaissance Revival architecture. It shares the use of cornice brackets with the Italianate, but is distinguished by the characteristic mansard roof, usually enhanced by dormer windows. Queen Ann (1875-1900). Thought to resemble English architecture from around 1700, Queen Anne style buildings combine Tudor with Classical ornament. Typically they are large, rambling houses with high ceilings and a variety of porches, dormers and towers. Exteriors frequently combine decorative wood shingles and clapboards, sometimes with other materials such as brick or stone. -14- Victorian Vernacular (1870-1910). These structures are the work of ordinary builders, not architects. They are characterized by simple forms with most of the ornament concentrated in porch details such as turned posts, spindles and jigsawn slats and brackets or in fancy gable-peak trim. Shingle (1880-1905). This style borrowed from Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque and Colonial Revival styles. Its defining characteristic is the extensive use of wood shingle cladding. Massing is usually asymmetrical. These houses often include details such as rustic raised stone foundations, small-pane sash, textured shingles and eyebrow roof dormers. American Foursquare (1895-1925). Recognized by its characteristic hip roof (often with one or more dormers), overhanging eaves and cube-like massing. Craftsman (1905-1930). This style was an outgrowth of the Arts and Crafts movement popularized in America through work of California architects Henry and Charles Greene. Their interest in Japanese joinery produced a distinctive style emphasizing exposed structural elements and decorative elements based on the Arts and Crafts movement (i.e. exterior stone chimneys, varied fenestration and sash, battered foundations, contrasting wall cladding and dormers with balconies). Bungalow (1915-1930). This style originated in the West and became popular throughout the country. Bungalows are small and usually one and one half stories high with the roof often sloping down to form an integral porch. Influenced by the Craftsman style, typically includes exposed carved rafters, plain stick-like brackets along the rakes of the roof, textured siding such as wood shingles or stucco, cobblestone chimneys and foundations. Colonial Revival (1890-1930). These homes take many forms but their decorative detail draws inspiration from the architecture of early America. High- style elements are drawn from Georgian designs (curved broken pediments), Federal-period (pillars, dentils, fanlights). Small-pane sash is common. A subtype, ―Dutch Colonial Revival‖ is distinguished by its gambrel roof. Tudor Revival (1890-present). Takes form based on late Medieval English prototypes with stucco or masonry walls, steep overlapping gables, varied exterior materials and half-timbering. -15- Berlin Hotel and Barns Tydol Station on Worthington Ridge 1927 -16- Thank you for Joining us!

Robert Harling has been tapped to pen Sony's Reese Witherspoon starrer "The Pioneer Woman."
Based on the upcoming book by Ree Drummond, "The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels — A Love Story," the film adaptation will tell the story of an young woman who, after falling for a cowboy, gives up her life in the city to live in Oklahoma.
The book, which hits selves in February, is an expansion of Drummond's blog, which she started in 2006.
Harling's previous writing credits include "Steel Magnolias," "First Wives Club" and "Soap Dish." His next project will be the Darren Star-produced dramedy based on the book "Good Christian Bitches" at ABC.
Laura Ziskin and Pam Williams will produce.
Witherspoon has been attached to the project since March.
James L. Brooks' romantic comedy "How Do You Know" has been given an R rating by the MPAA for "some language."
Individuals familiar with the project have confirmed that producers are planning to appeal the rating, which could threaten the film's box office potential.
Producer Laurence Mark did not immediately reply to TheWrap's request for comment.
Brooks' last R-rated movie was "Broadcast News" in 1987. His last two films, "Spanglish" and "As Good As It Gets," were rated PG-13.
Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson star in the romantic comedy, which Columbia is set to release on Dec. 17 opposite "Tron: Legacy" and "Yogi Bear."

Hello lovely Reese fans I have a small Gallery update for you today!

"Extra's" AJ Calloway laughed with actress Reese Witherspoon at the Avon Foundation for Women event in NYC, chatting about her new movie with Jack Nicholson ("How Do You Know"), her shoes (Louboutin) and doing a mini-triathlon (with her 11-year-old daughter, Ava).
"It was hard," Witherspoon said of the triathlon. "My results showed my lack of training. Ava pointed out that a 5th-grader passed me."
A benefit evening for the Avon Foundation for Women hosted by Andrea Jung & Reese Witherspoon. Featuring a Musical Performance by Melissa Etheridge
The 10th annual Avon Foundation for Women Gala tonight honored exceptional women and men for their efforts to end breast cancer and violence against women. The event, held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City, has raised more than $20 million for Avon philanthropy in the decade since it launched. The event was hosted by Reese Witherspoon, award-winning actress and Honorary Chair of the Avon Foundation for Women, and Andrea Jung, Chairman and CEO, Avon Products, Inc., with a special musical performance by Melissa Etheridge.
More than 550 guests attended and donated $2.2 million this year to benefit breast cancer research and access to care and domestic violence education, prevention and victim support programs. Along with Reese Witherspoon and Andrea Jung, presenters included Patrick and Jillian Dempsey and Christy Turlington Burns.
"This is our very special tenth anniversary celebration where we honor extraordinary champions who are changing women's lives, and salute their powerful contributions to women's health and empowerment," said Andrea Jung. "Through the generosity of our supporters, in addition to the grassroots efforts of millions of supporters around the world — including our Avon Sales Representatives, Associates, and customers — Avon is the world's largest corporate philanthropy focused on issues that matter most to women."
Reese attended the Annual Avon Foundation For Women Gala in New York City last night! She looked gorgeous in a little Jason Wu dress with a black bustier top and a ruffled champagne coloured skirt, with Louboutin shoes and her beautiful blonde hair down. As an Avon Global Ambassador, Reese co-hosted the event with Avon Chairwoman and CEO Andrea Jung, who she greeted and posed with on the pink carpet. There was also a Sweet Home Alabama reunion of sorts, as Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian, who is Avon's Global Color Creative Director, were seen in a group photo with Miss Reese!
70+ photos from the event have been added to our Gallery for you…

Reese news is slow again, but here's an interesting little tidbit:
Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Arizona's Secretary of State Ken Bennett (R) will team up at a "Democracy Forum" on October 30 in Tucson to promote civil discourse on the key national issues of immigration and the economy. Dr. Peter Likins, President Emeritus of the University of Arizona, will emcee the free, public event taking place from 1:30 until 4 p.m. at the Arizona Historical Society/Museum.
At the Forum, Secretary Bennett and Congressman Grijalva, who are from differing political parties, will each present their position on immigration and the economy then the audience will ask questions, discuss the issues and vote on them. The National Student/Parent Mock Election is spearheading the Democracy Forum, which is designed to bring parents, grandparents, children and public officials together in a bipartisan, intergenerational, multi-ethnic forum.
Other event highlights include:
* Video of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and other celebrities including Morgan Freeman, Reese Witherspoon, and Whoopi Goldberg heralding the Declaration of Independence and current American freedoms.

Broadway, television, the music charts… What hasn't Lea Michele conquered yet? The silver screen! Well, not yet! E! Online reports that the Glee star is in final talks to make her big screen debut in the upcoming Gary Marshall ensemble film New Year's Eve, a follow-up to his recent hit Valentine's Day.
Like Valentine's Day, the new film will follow a bunch of characters as they navigate their way through one eventful New Year's Eve. There's no official announcement on the film or Michele's involvement yet, but Marshall is said to be determined to get the rising star in his film. Other stars on his wish list include Justin Bieber, Zac Efron, Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

It's now quite clear, that sensor pads are becoming cheaper, and more usable, so why are we not detailing then into our construction to monitor things like moisture, or movement, , temp, or perhaps noise. For more read this excellent article on O'Reilly Radar
GreenGoose looks to unlock the data in everyday activities.
This company GreenGoose seem to have the ideal product, their stickers are great for this because they're simple, flexible and they easily stick to curved things like bottles, pipes etc. Also, existing objects or things around the house can be enabled with sensing capabilities by just sticking on a sticker. they're taking everyday things and making them more fun. there're also lowering barriers to adopting sensors by treating them in a playful way.
GreenGoose are trying to make it really easy. There's no batteries to recharge or USB cables or software to worry about. The sensors last more than a year, and the range is over 200 feet, so it's completely in the background.
This has to be looked into, as I find out more I'll let you know, but in the mean time add it to your list, I have a feeling on this subject. its all to do with home automation, the smart home. Photo voltaic's can easily power them although a years use before they require juice is dam good.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (475 votes).
In short: Superbly organised race with a fantastic atmosphere.In full: I'm an Ivanhoe member, and felt very proud of running in my own club's race. I know how much time and effort goes into organising this event, but it all shows on race day. The road closures were excellent, and it was so much more enjoyable than dodging traffic in previous years (I've bike marshalled the past two years). Best thing though, was all the support from the locals and marshals, and the amazing atmosphere at the feed stations.I'd recommend this race to anyone. It's a bit tough, but hugely enjoyable, backed up by a very slick operating team.Date of review: June 15, 2015
In short: My Favourite raceIn full: My 7th year on the trot, I no have an Ashby 20 hoodie for everyday of the week. I broke two ribs in the two weeks leading up to this race but just had to run it (slightly sore). Amazing friendly race, the marshals, locals, Aldi and other running clubs all lend a hand to make this a must do race. I live local and my training runs are on this route. I cannot speak highly enough of it. 11/10Date of review: March 31, 2015
In short: As good as ever - highly recommendedIn full: I just got home from running the Oakley 20 and it says it all that I feel more inclined to express my appreciation to Ivanhoe Runners for their fantastic, superbly organised event, the Ashby 20, than to rate Bedford Harriers' once again, woefully chaotic equivalent - although I will because they really need to act on the negative feedback. Ivanhoe Runners, you rock. The Ashby 20 is perfect. Give Bedford Harriers a masterclass in how it's done :)Date of review: March 29, 2015
In short: Fabulous race, by runners for runnersIn full: Incredible event. Organisation like clockwork from start to finish. Closed roads, amazing marshals and water stations with bottled water, gels, chocolate, jelly babies. Cheese cob and hoody for finishers - can't remember a better race memento. Challenging route, great atmosphere amongst runners, friendly local support. Ivanhoe runners looks like a fantastic club and with the backing of Aldi they do a really professional job.Date of review: March 27, 2015

In short: amazing support marshalls first aiders and runnersDate of review: March 24, 2015
In short: Fantastic race, great atmosphere and organisation.In full: My first time running the Ashby20 and a great experience. Extremely well organised benefitting from road closures, welcoming and a great event for club runners of all abilities. Large number of approachable and enthusiastic marshals, well resourced water/snack stations and a well above average goody bag at the finish. A big thank you to all involved in the organisation.Date of review: March 24, 2015
In short: Worth every aching muscleIn full: A challenging undulating course with the hills seeming a bit harder on lap 2. Great hoodie that actually fits. Brilliant support all the way round from local people and marshalls. Everyone friendly and decent goodie bag at the end. Cheese sandwich in the bag much appreciated. Worth the drive over.Date of review: March 24, 2015
In short: Great event organised by runners for runners Date of review: March 24, 2015
In short: BrilliantIn full: Second year for me in the Ashby 20 and for me this is the best organised and supported race I've run in. Excellent organisation makes the race run really smoothly. The support around the course is excellent but what makes this event are the marshals and volunteers at the water stations. Incredible encouragement, friendly and supportive. I didn't think it could be improved from last year but having closed roads made this a brilliant event. When you throw in a hoody, a gorilla and a cheese cob I don't think it can be bettered. Well done Ivanhoe Runners - you should be very proud of your raceDate of review: March 23, 2015

Slaves of the Third Millennium
Millions Caught in Web of Human Trafficking
GENEVA, JULY 24, 2005 (Zenit) - The plight of an estimated 12.3 million people trapped in forced labor around the world was analyzed at the annual conference of the 178-member International Labor Organization. The ILO meeting, held May 31-June 16 at the organization's headquarters in Geneva, dedicated the June 8 session to discuss a report prepared on the issue.
During the May 11 release of the text of the report, titled "A Global Alliance Against Forced Labor," ILO Director-General Juan Somavia called such labor "a social evil which has no place in the modern world." He added: "To achieve a fair globalization and decent work for all, it is imperative to eradicate forced labor."
The report calculates that at least 2.4 million people are victims of human trafficking. It also provides the first global estimate of the profits generated by the exploitation of trafficked women, children and men: $32 billion a year, or about $13,000 per victim.
The report starts by defining the concept of forced labor. It is not to be confused with poor working conditions or substandard wages. Rather, the ILO considers that two elements are involved in forced labor: the work or service is exacted under the menace of a penalty; and it is undertaken involuntarily.
The forms of forced labor vary widely. In the past, slavery or bonded labor was common, and still persists in some countries, particularly in Asia. More modern forms are often linked to migratory labor and trafficking in persons for commercial reasons, often involving women and children in activities ranging from drug dealing to begging to sexual exploitation. As well, migrant workers in the Mideast and elsewhere are often obliged to hand over identity documents and find themselves tied to one household with restricted freedom of movement.
Low estimates
Of the 12.3 million people in forced labor, 9.8 million are exploited in the private sector. Another 2.5 million are forced to work by governments or by rebel military groups.
This is the first time the ILO has made an estimate of people involved in forced labor and a part of the report is dedicated to describing the methodology used. The figure is a "minimum estimate" that probably errs on the low side, the study acknowledges.
Most of the people affected by this phenomenon are in Asia, with some 9.5 million forced laborers. Latin America and the Caribbean follows with 1.3 million. The rest are made up of 660,000 in sub-Saharan Africa; 260,000 in the Mideast and North Africa; 360,000 in industrialized countries; and 210,000 in transition countries.
A breakdown of the data shows regional differences in the composition of the type of forced labor. In Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa, the proportion of trafficked victims is under 20% of all forced labor. In industrialized countries, transition countries and the Mideast and North Africa region, however, trafficking accounts for more than 75% of forced labor.
The report noted that in practice there is frequently a mixture of human smuggling and trafficking. Many of those who end up in forced labor have migrated voluntarily and become victims on their way to or at their destination. The main types of work affected by trafficking are the sex industry, agriculture, domestic work and construction. It also occurs in the sector of restaurants and catering, as well as small sweatshop enterprises.
The ILO report further commented that while state-imposed forced labor is not the largest problem in terms of numbers, it nonetheless remains a cause for serious concern. The types of labor involve practices such as work imposed by the state for "anti-social" acts, particularly in China with its "re-education through labor" system. Official figures from the Chinese Ministry of Justice indicate that some 260,000 people were detained under this system as of early 2004.
The military regime in Myanmar is also notorious for its forced labor programs, with numerous complaints coming to the attention of the ILO. The report accused the regime of allowing a situation "where state policies permit local authorities to use and benefit from the forced labor of the poor." In Africa, the report continued, there are concerns about the possible imposition of forced labor for development purposes.
Causes and cures
The report observes that there is no unanimity over what causes forced labor. In developing countries, where in the rural sector there is forced and bonded labor, there are ongoing debates as to whether the failure of credit or financial markets, or agrarian systems and unequal power relationships, explain the persistence this type of forced work. Nor is it clear to what extent the current trend of globalization contributes to new forms of forced labor.

Tuesday Tip: Keep cheap jewelry looking new with clear coatFARGO – My jewelry drawer overflows with necklaces, rings and bracelets of almost every imaginable metallic finish and colored hue.
But in order to accumulate such a volume of baubles, I had to get them on the cheap.
I learned my lesson soon into my first day wearing a faux gold-and-pearl chain around my neck. By late afternoon, my neck had a peculiar green tinge to it.
But a recent Pinterest post I saw has hopefully prolonged the wearibility of my thrifty jewelry.
Pick up a can of clear (I recommend gloss) spray paint.
Prepare a well-ventilated area, with newspaper to protect surfaces, give each piece of jewelry a quick, thin coat of clear spray.
Allow to dry for about 10 minutes before flipping each piece and coating the other side. Repeat.
Set jewelry aside for at least 24 hours before wearing.

Log Boat Found in Ireland's Boyne River
Monday, May 13, 2013
DROGHEDA, IRELAND—Members of the Boyne Fishermen's Rescue and Recovery Service found an ancient log boat in the Boyne River while removing shopping carts from the water. Archaeologist Karl Brady says that the boat is unusual because it has a pair of oval-shaped blisters on its upper edge that may have been used for holding oars. "I have seen them on some boats found in Northern Ireland and Britain but not in Ireland," he explained. This particular boat may be between 500 to 5,000 years old, but log boats were used in Ireland until the eighteenth century.

David McClure and Kevin McLean will handle the equity investments of the GMP Diversified Alpha Fund, succeeding Tim Lazaris, who left the firm earlier this year. The two are set to join GMP next week after leaving Investors Group earlier this month.
At the old jobs, McClure and McLean managed some C$2 billion across several funds. Investors Group has yet to name new lead managers for those funds.

This hot springs resort and campground is about 60 miles outside of the town of Fairbanks on a good (by Alaska standards) paved road. The reason for going to this campground is to partake of the hot springs and associated activities. There is an indoor pool and two indoor hot tubs and a great outdoor hot pool for adults only. Using the pools is $15 per person per day. There is also an ice carving museum that is well worth seeing. The campground has no hookups, but there is fresh water for filling tanks and a dump station. Some of the sites are in or near a parking lot area; others are a little further away in a wooded area. We chose a wooded site because of the privacy, but these sites would not be suitable for larger RV's. The turns are too tight and there is vegetation on the sides that can be difficult to navigate. Our Verizon cell phone worked well here, but the Verizon MiFi worked very, very marginally. There is no public WiFi at the resort. Don't think of this resort as being fancy, it is actually quite rustic and funky. We loved this campground because of the hot springs and because it was nice and quiet at night. We would definitely visit here again. - TheJim

This is a wonderful campground not far from Fairbanks on the road to Chena Hot Springs. Sights are very large and well-maintained. Grass is mowed around the sites making the sites seem even larger than they are. There is space for even large motor homes. There is a campground host on site. All sites have plenty of shade and sun. There is well-water available in the campground. Signs suggest you may want to boil your water if you stay here. We would definitely camp here again if in the area. - Bobbi1948

Nice state park in downtown Fairbanks. Sites were good sized and clean. Convenient to amenities in city. Some road noise, but not too bad. We will stay here again. - KathyAndJimB
May 2013 - $28.00
The entrance is no longer on University, it's been moved around the corner to 3530 Geraghty Av, The park was closed, but in the process of getting things hooked up when we drove in. The happy host went out of his way to make sure we had water and electricity. (It was just turned on.) There was snow everywhere and the dump station was frozen up. We were the first RV campers of 2013. Nice and quiet in a forest. You would not suspect it's in the middle of the city. There were caribou or moose droppings all through the camp. We stayed two nights. - hoz49
Aug 2012 - $17.00
After the first night, we dry camped. For $17, you can't beat it. Pretty setting, although in the middle of Fairbanks you feel you are in the country: woods, river, and quiet. Walking distance to grocery stores. Easy access to everything in Fairbanks. We used this campground for 5 nights, and would return. - cmcwbl

In the heart of Fairbanks, this is a non-profit campground. Their main mission is to hold every February and March, the world's most prestigious ice carving event in the world. Check out their web site. In the summer, the place is quite empty. We selected an "electric only" site but the campground lets you dump and fill your drinking water for free. We thought when we checked in that the "advertised" rates were way too steep. Surprisingly, we were able to come to an agreeable price for our monthly rate. Which BTW is reflected in our rate posted above. The CG is very, very quiet. Shower rooms consist of toilet, sink, and shower in each of 2 rooms, and very clean. If you stay here try to figure what the black walls are for. With just a short walk you can venture over to Pioneer Park via a foot bridge over the Chena River with a 3 mile paved walk way good for, dah, walking and bicycling for the brave hearted. The sites are VERY large and lots and lots of trees. We were here in June and the mosquitoes weren't to bad, mostly because we are in the center of the city. There is a medium sized "meeting" hall if your clan is large. It even has a commercial kitchen you can negotiate for it's use. - planegm

This is a paved parking lot. Fresh water is available with a dump site about 2 miles away. Plenty of room for any size rig. This place is noisy with road noise till around 11:00 pm. It is located with easy access to anywhere in Fairbanks. Very few mosquitos. - illini777
Jun 2012 - $12.00
This isn't really a campground. The park just allows overnight stays in the parking lot with some parking marked for RV's for a $12 fee. The location is right in town and has extremely convenient biking and running trails by it. I stayed 2 nights and my stay again due to trails and convenience. It is noisy due to road noise. There are clean bathrooms open during park's open hours but no showers. Showers are available through laundromats or pools here if needed. The Wi-Fi works and they have a water fill available. - camille2
Jun 2011 - $12.00
Just a parking lot. RV area doesn't have room for rigs longer than 30', but they allowed us to park along the perimeter. Very noisy and congested until 10 pm when the park closes. Then, noise from the highway all night. There is a fresh water filling station. We would not stay here again. - JCMDT

This is a full service campground, a gift store, self service RV/car wash. Full hookups, sites are close together but clean. Our 30 amp service was only pulling about 109 volts. It was very warm when we were here, so a/c was on. Cable TV was good, Wi-Fi very weak. Free coffee/tea in office. Nice room to walk the pup. Verizon/Sprint service worked well. We would stay here again. - Living the Dream
Jun 2015 - $28.00
We found this park to be the best value and most convenient of the area RV parks. If you want cable TV be sure to specify when you check in as not all sites have this service. Most sites are comfortable for a large motor home with multiple slides but be careful. Some have trees very close that could cause problems when setting up. Utility hook ups were all fine. Park has a great RV wash, easy to use dump and water fill stations. Staff were very helpful and willing to work with us on the rate for a month long stay. Lots of turnover! Many one-night campers and caravans so expect a fair amount of traffic. We did notice the airport noise, which is about 3 miles away. Didn't notice mosquitoes as we did in other nearby parks. No doubt we would stay here on a return visit to Fairbanks. - Beech35p

Stayed for 10 days. Nice quite park. Electric was good. Water pressure good. Grass between lots. You are a little close to your neighbor but was not an issue for us. Gravel roads but seem to be treated so there was no dust. Pot holes coming in. WiFi good most of the time. Slow in the evenings. Cable tv was good just not many good channels or the ones we watch. The lady running the place was very nice and helpful. Some lots have trees but do not cause a problem. There is a wash rack to wash your car and rv which is nice. Do that before you park. Close to all the things to visit in town. Lots seem pretty level. Would stay again if in the area. - neilontheroad

Park was not fully open when we arrived. They lost power/water to middle of campground and their riverview facilities were closed. We laughed when we found it. I don't beleive one site as a view of the river. There is a gas station, propane station and rig wash which is very convenient. There is also a conveience store and the bus picks you up right in front of the campground. Could not get more conveineint than that! Sites are close but not too close. Open and no trees. There was a little highway sound but not too bothersome. BUT, since we are near the military base we can hear the revelry bugel in the morning! - Theresa as

This is a very nice park. Neighbors are kinda close, but at least there's grass between the sites. Very long pull-throughs for big rigs. Wi-Fi was excellent and we were in the furthest site from the office. Cable was great and they had a lot of channels. Would absolutely stay here again! - mollykid

We stayed here for 5 nights while waiting for a full service RV park to open later in May. We had 30 amp electric only but had access to water and a dump station if needed. Nicely wooded sites with lots of mosquitoes this time of year. Nice shaded spots so we didn't have to run the A/C when the sun heated up the coach which happens in open RV sites. - Dr4Film

Be careful big rigs!! This camp ground is difficult to get into, tight to maneuver within and has tree limbs that will do a tap dance on your roofs and antennas! Standing water in the small creek is breeding mosquitos while you watch! I can't say I felt completely safe here and opted to move. Tents and small trailers might find this to be ok but I would recommend riding through the park before checking in. We didn't go in the laundry or use any of the facilities. The sight was so tight that it would have been very difficult to use the fire ring or picket table. I would not stay here again. - Beech35p

Park has 30 RV sites, not all with electric, with lots of pine trees for shade. Most are spacious but back-ins with a couple of pull-throughs. We were here during the fair so the park was packed. Even though it was full we were comfortable and didn't have to wait to use showers or laundry. Quiet hours were observed. Dump stations are very accessible when entering and leaving. It rained every day during our stay so the restrooms were a little muddy at times. This is not a luxury park but quite nice for the price. We stayed here in the past and will stay again. - RagFtw
