Joan Baez Donovan Maybelle Carter Peter Paul & Mary Mississippi John Hurt but who cares. That Sunday night July 25 Dylan took the stage with guitarist Mike Bloomfield and Barry Goldberg of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band Dylan with a Fender Stratocaster - a scene familiar to all from Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home - thereby changing the course of pop music forever. That night at Newport in an abbreviated performance he opened with "Maggie's Farm" and followed that with "Like a Rolling Stone" which had only been released five days earlier and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh It Takes a Train to Cry." He finished his performance that night with two acoustic songs "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now Baby Blue." He never played at Newport again. This issue of the program also prints a short story of sorts by Bob Dylan "Off the Top of My Head" featuring off-the-top-of-his-head characters Horseman Photochick Miss Flunk and the Prez. <br/><br/> Newport Folk Art Foundation unknown books

1929101409<p>Architectural diagram plans for the construction of the Empire State Building. 8 items all pencil on paper or tracing vellum various sizes ranging from 8x13 inches to 36x48 inches. Included are 5 plot plans showing the building's outline and the surrounding streets and properties 5 section plans of existing vaults and the machine room 2 sub-basement plans and the details of the pit for the refrigeration unit. Condition varies but is generally very good; most of the plans have minor folds or tears in the margins. The freight elevator plan has some tape repairs on the reverse but is not obtrusive. A plan showing a map of 34th and 33rd Streets has the most damage with tears in the margin some pieces missing and some significant wrinkling; probably the least important plan in this collection. Eight of the plans will be shipped rolled. The 102 story landmark Empire State Building was completed in 1931 on the former site of the original Waldof-Astoria Hotel. The cost of construction was about $41 million estimates suggest that today's cost would be close to $600 million and was completed in less than a year and a half. The building was designed by William Lamb of Shreve Lamb and Harmon whose plans are included in this collection. Considered as the "Eight Wonder of the World" when it opened the building has had its share of notoriety both good and bad. Suicides a shooting on the observation deck and even a plane crashing into it in 1945 have been part of the dark side of the building's history. However this iconic art deco building is as popular as ever and probably one of the busiest tourist attractions in New York City. One of the most significant parts of this architectural collection is the plan for the rather famous information desk. Other parts include plans for the sub-basement the machine room pit for the freight elevators and refrigeration unit and several plans illustrating the building's outline on the surrounding streets. A unique collection of New York City history. History1900s about website.</p>

1923007859Washington D.C.: The White House 1923. December 17 1923 The White House - to Lew Wallace Jr. son of Lew Wallace Union general in the American Civil War governor of the New Mexico Territory and author of "Ben Hur"- "Dear Mr. Wallace The growth of thrift and saving in this country promises well for our future. Only through sacrifice and hard work can we attain the cherished things in life. This means we must work and save. The progress of the United States Government Savings System in giving to all our people an opportunity to invest in safe securities is most worthy. By placing Treasury Savings Certyificates on sale in post offices banks and trust companies the Government has made available to everyone a security of unquestioned soundness. Their widespread sale makes for better citizenship as each purchaser holds a stake in his Government. I believe also that the enlargement of a national Thrift movement will eventually stamp out the false and unsound practices of the swindler." A 25 line roughly 225 word letter that in the last paragraph goes on to talk about the growth of this system that "will result in increased happiness for the individual and in increased prosperity in general." A Fine letter under glass in period original frame and acquired directly from descendants of the Wallace family never before offered for sale. A superb association and a letter that speaks directly to Coolidge's sense of personal responsibility and frugality. . One Page. Fine. 8 1/2 " x 11". The White House Paperback books
