fWotD Episode 3063: 20 Exchange Place Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 23 September 2025, is 20 Exchange Place.20 Exchange Place, originally the City Bank–Farmers Trust Building, is a skyscraper in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Completed in 1931, it was designed by Cross & Cross as the headquarters of the City Bank–Farmers Trust Company, predecessor of Citigroup. The building, standing at approximately 741 feet (226 m) with 57 usable stories, was one of the city's tallest buildings and the world's tallest stone-clad building upon its completion. While 20 Exchange Place was intended to be the world's tallest building when built, the plan was scaled back because of the Great Depression.The building has a granite and limestone facade, while its internal superstructure is made of steel. The lower section of the facade fills the entirety of an irregular quadrilateral city block and contains piers with figures depicting the "giants of finance", as well as decorations designed by the British sculptor David Evans. The main entrance on Exchange Place has a round arch with granite medallions representing the countries where City Bank Farmers Trust had offices. The upper stories, consisting of a square tower with chamfered corners, are offset from the base.The City Bank–Farmers Trust Building was built between 1930 and 1931 for the newly merged National City Bank of New York and the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company. It remained the company's headquarters until 1956 and was sold in 1979. The 16th through 57th floors of the building, originally used as offices, were converted to residences by Metro Loft Management during the 1990s. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated 20 Exchange Place as an official city landmark in 1996, and it is also a contributing property to the Wall Street Historic District, a National Register of Historic Places district created in 2007.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:09 UTC on Tuesday, 23 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 20 Exchange Place on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

This remarkable limestone residence in Dodge City, Kansas—affectionately known as the "Home of Stone"—stands as one of America's most authentic windows into late 19th century domestic life.Built in 1881, when the American frontier was still taking shape, this architectural gem immediately captivates visitors with its breathtaking handcrafted spiral staircase—an elegant masterpiece of woodworking that serves as the home's stunning centerpiece. As you move through the meticulously preserved rooms, each space reveals intimate details of frontier family life: the formal Victorian parlor with its sumptuous furnishings designed for social gatherings; the spacious, light-filled master bedroom that served as John and Caroline Mueller's private sanctuary; and the practical basement kitchen that kept cooking heat separate from living areas in the days before modern ventilation.What makes the Mueller-Schmidt House truly exceptional is the remarkable preservation of its original elements. Each room stands as a testament to frontier resilience and ambition, with exquisite woodwork and period-appropriate furnishings that tell the story of a successful family establishing permanence in what was once the wild west. Now curated by the Ford County Historical Society and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this limestone treasure preserves an irreplaceable connection to Dodge City's rich past.

A major preservation project is underway at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania — one that museum leaders say will secure the future of some of the state’s most treasured locomotives. The museum has broken ground on a brand-new, 16,000-square-foot roundhouse, a circular structure that will house six historic steam locomotives, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Patrick Morrison, Director of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, says the design centers around a fully restored 1928 turntable — a piece of equipment that was once essential in the age of steam.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever felt creeped out in a modern cafe or accommodation that was once a historic location of trauma? Well, in this week's episode, you get a parent's inside view of what happened when he took his family to a historic place gone retro, and the entities and hitchhiking spirits that were present turned his family's following normal days and nights upside down. Historic places converted into new public spaces, such as cafes or accommodations, can be great for business and tourism, but not for all patrons using or visiting the premises if they are unaware of the possible entity's presence. Energetically vulnerable people can take home more than they bargained for, as you hear in Ben's family experience. It highlights the possible dangers for energy-sensitive people and entity attachment.

fWotD Episode 2994: Trinity (nuclear test) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 16 July 2025, is Trinity (nuclear test).Trinity was the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was of an implosion-design plutonium bomb, or "gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. Concerns about whether the complex Fat Man design would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test. The code name "Trinity" was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, possibly inspired by the poetry of John Donne.The test, both planned and directed by Kenneth Bainbridge, was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range (renamed the White Sands Proving Ground just before the test). The only structures originally in the immediate vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. Fears of a fizzle prompted construction of "Jumbo", a steel containment vessel that could contain the plutonium, allowing it to be recovered; but ultimately Jumbo was not used in the test. On May 7, 1945, a rehearsal was conducted, during which 108 short tons (98 t) of high explosive spiked with radioactive isotopes was detonated.Some 425 people were present on the weekend of the Trinity test. In addition to Bainbridge and Oppenheimer, observers included Vannevar Bush, James Chadwick, James B. Conant, Thomas Farrell, Enrico Fermi, Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Leslie Groves, Frank Oppenheimer, Geoffrey Taylor, Richard Tolman, Edward Teller, and John von Neumann. The Trinity bomb released the explosive energy of 25 kilotons of TNT (100 TJ) ± 2 kilotons of TNT (8.4 TJ), and a large cloud of fallout. Thousands of people lived closer to the test than would have been allowed under guidelines adopted for subsequent tests, but no one living near the test was evacuated before or afterward.The test site was declared a National Historic Landmark district in 1965 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:34 UTC on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Trinity (nuclear test) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.

In this one, I talk to Katie Ringsmuth. She's the Alaska State Historian, the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer and the creator of the NN Cannery History Project, a seven-year effort to preserve and interpret the stories of the people who powered one of Alaska's most historic salmon canneries. For Katie, this story is personal. She grew up around the NN Cannery in South Naknek, where her dad worked for decades, eventually becoming the last superintendent of the Alaska Packers' Association. He started in 1964 as a young college graduate in Kodiak, doing whatever odd jobs needed doing — from sorting crab to running the entire operation at the NN Cannery. Under his leadership, the cannery shifted away from the rigid, old-school model of command-and-control superintendents — “Tony Soprano–style,” as Katie puts it — and toward something more humane. He created housing for families, hired women and built a workplace that people returned to year after year. The NN Cannery History Project is more than just about the processing plant, it's about preserving its historical importance and honoring its workers. The cannery itself was a cultural crossroads with a workforce that included Alaska Native peoples, Scandinavians, Italians, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino laborers. Canned food revolutionized how people ate. It made it possible to preserve and transport perishable foods across vast distances, reshaping global diets and economies — and the NN Cannery was a key player in that transformation. Originally built as a saltery in 1897, the NN Cannery went on to produce more canned salmon than any other cannery in the state. Katie's work on the NN Cannery History Project ultimately led to the site being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a recognition that underscores its national significance. Throughout the project, Katie explores how Alaska fits into the global history of canned food and how preservation — both of fish and of stories — can change the way we understand place, labor and legacy.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Carthage, Tennessee, is situated at the confluence of two rivers, and it served as a strategic post during the Civil War, acting as a major Federal base in the battle for the Upper Cumberland River region. In the heart of this small town, you'll find the Smith County Courthouse, constructed between 1877 and 1879, standing proudly on the downtown square. This architectural gem, praised as the "handsomest in the state" back in the day, is a stunning example of the Second Empire style, and it's no wonder that in 1979, it earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. But behind its elegant façade lies a dark and eerie history. The courthouse, the second to be built on this site, has witnessed public hangings and untimely deaths, leaving restless spirits in its wake, like "Jeff," who seems to rule the third floor, Paul, who tragically died on the first floor during a Christmas event, and a mysterious lady who haunts the stairs. Today on the Grave Talks, the Spirits of the Smith County Courthouse, a conversation with Steven Denson of Mid-Tenn Paranormal. This is Part Two of our conversation.

It's been everything from an auto parts store and a hotspot for underground gambling, to a string of lively nightclubs and a men's-only subterranean bathhouse. Today, thanks to its significance as a safe and social space for Portland's LGBTQ+ community, it can be found on the National Register of Historic Places.Whether you're into true crime, paranormal encounters, or offbeat local history, this episode has something for you.

On today's newscast: A proposed short-term rental fee in Basalt is sparking controversy, and some residents say they're ready to take the town to court; Bruce Berger's Aspen cabin on West Main Street was added to the National Register of Historic Places; and businesses that raise their prices during a natural disaster or other emergency could be punished for price gouging under a new state law. Tune in for these stories and more.

Long before the Keweenaw Peninsula became a destination for hikers, bikers, and Lake Superior rock hounds, it was the stage for a national copper rush. Shortly after Michigan became a state in 1837,  Geologist Douglas Houghton was sent to Copper Harbor to explore reports from Native Americans about copper in the region. By 1844, Fort Wilkins was built to be the military base helping to keep the peace as fortune-seekers came to the state's most northern port. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Barry James, Upper Peninsula historian with the Michigan History Center, about the fascinating past—and present—of this historic state park. From the 1840s copper rush chaos to Civil War reenactments, as well as lighthouse tours and tales of shipwrecks, Fort Wilkins remains a living classroom with extensive youth programs. Join us as we explore the enduring significance of this frontier fort—and the people working to keep its stories alive.Key Takeaways:Fort Wilkins was built in the mid-19th century in Copper Harbor to maintain law and order during the copper rush.The fort served as a frontier military post, supporting mining operations and maritime navigation in one of the most remote regions of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.The Copper Harbor Lighthouse and range lights were established in response to early shipwrecks, including the 1844 wreck of the John Jacob Astor, which supplied Fort Wilkins.Today, Fort Wilkins Historic State Park is part of the Keweenaw National Historical Park's heritage site network and offers youth camps, Civil War reenactments, and public education programs.Barry James and the Michigan History Center are working to expand exhibits, including a new display on how Fort Wilkins became a state park in 1923.Notable Quotes:“What it really represents is an excellent example of a mid-19th century military post as the United States was expanding westward.”“The Astor was the first wreck on Lake Superior in 1844. The military realized that their lifeline could be easily snapped.”“We also offer a living history program that's been ongoing since 1976, where we have costumed interpreters within the fort that represent the last occupation at Fort Wilkins, the summer of 1870.”“We've got 19 buildings on site, but 12 are original, dating back to the 1840s. So people can go into these buildings, look at the exhibits. We have period rooms with furniture and interpretation of the period.”“To get on the National Register of Historic Places, you really have to have something significant with the historic site, so that says enough right there.”Resources:Fort Wilkins Historic State Park: https://www.michigan.gov/mhc/museums/fwchl Michigan History Center: https://www.michigan.gov/mhcKeweenaw National Historical Park: https://www.nps.gov/keweConnect With Us:Website: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports: Supporting environmental sustainability in coffee-growing regions since 1993.

An unassuming house in Southeast Portland’s Buckman neighborhood was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. Once known as “Juniper House,” the building served as one of the first end-of-life care homes for AIDS patients in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s. An OPB documentary at the time explored the lives of some of the patients in Juniper House and the neighboring Assisi House, which provided a range of care for patients with HIV/AIDS. Jan Weyeneth is one of the co-founders of Juniper House. Cayla McGrail is a former associate project manager for Portland’s LGBTQ+ Historic Sites Project, which sponsored the house’s listing. They both join us to share more about Juniper House and the importance of documenting queer history in Portland.

The power of experience is undeniable. The context it creates, the insight that it develops is far more than could be accomplished than by simply reading.

Today we head back to Indianapolis with the podcast Urban Roots. In the 1950s and 1960s, Ms. Jean Spears was a young mother and burgeoning preservationist. She saved antiques from houses about to be demolished; she bought a home in a white slum and renovated it; later on, she did the same with a historic home in the black neighborhood near Indiana Avenue. In the eighties, she and some neighbors started digging into this black neighborhood's history, uncovering the names of Black doctors, civic leaders, and other professionals who had lived there — many of whom had worked for Madam C.J. Walker. She helped rename the neighborhood to Ransom Place, in honor of Freeman Ransom: Madam Walker's prodigious lawyer. And in 1991, they succeeded in getting the Ransom Place Historic District included in the National Register of Historic Places. Thanks in no small part to the connection to Madam C.J. Walker, Jean Spears was able to save this pocket of Black history, in an area that — as we explained last episode — the city of Indianapolis had almost erased from memory. But black Indy history is about more than Madam Walker; other stories and places in the city need protection, too. In this episode, we'll introduce you to three Black women who are carrying on what Ms. Jean Spears started — safeguarding these little-known stories of the past and guiding Indianapolis toward a brighter future. GUESTS: Claudia Polley, Urban Legacy Lands Initiative Kaila Austin, artist and historian Judith Thomas, Deputy Mayor of Neighborhood Engagement for the City of Indianapolis Paula Brooks, Environmental Justice Program Manager at the Hoosier Environment Council The post Reclaiming Indianapolis's Black History from Urban Roots appeared first on KPFA.

You've heard of Salem, Massachusetts - a town infamously known across the world for the horrendous Salem Witch trials and the falsely accused men and women who were sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft, but have you heard of its neighbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts? Marblehead is full of charm and it happens to be Sabrina's new home.  Crooked streets, lopsided houses, a picturesque Americana town that inspired horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft - Marblehead is charming, rich with history of daring sea captains, pioneers in industry and the most historic homes in a United States town, but it is also flooded with history and haunts. The energy is palpable. And if you're a fan of Hocus Pocus, you'll recognize the Old Burial Hill (a Marblehead cemetery) from the film -- it's the cemetery in which Max gets his sneakers stolen. A screeching woman, a white wizard, accused witches, haunted schools, and so many other hauntings occur in this small town...  Despite their independence from Salem, Marblehead was plagued by the neighboring Witch Trials and one resident, Wilmot Redd, was found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging on September 22, 1692 in Salem, MA. A plaque is dedicated in her owner at the Old Burial Hill Cemetery -- a historic Puritan burial ground that was established in 1638 and is known to be haunted. People report hearing disembodied voices and footsteps or seeing shadow figures and apparitions. Marblehead is also home to one of the oldest coastal forts in the United States -- the Old Fort Seawall -- which was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in April of 1975.
