Monuments to visit Côte Est Etats-Unis

In the th and th centuries, it was a place for people in the city who were not there. We were told that there were ghosts of known characters who lived there, such as Dolly Madison, the wife of the first president of the United States (yellow house at the entrance to the square in H Street) and Stephen Decatur, a Navy member.
It is now a popular place for tourists who want to see the back of the White House. In the four corners of the square, the figures of characters who took part in the American war of independence, including the valuable French allies of General Lafayette and General de Rochambeau, were involved in helping the young American nation to become liberated from British tutelage. In the middle of the square is the statue of Andrew Jackson, who massacred many of the Cherokee tribe Indians. In H Street, on the side of the street opposite Dolly Madison, you can visit the St. John Church.

Built in 1908, it was at the time the most luxurious residential building in New York, and it is still one of the most beautiful. The twelve-story building, Renaissance style, was more or less deserted in the 1930 s, when the neighborhood became malfamed. He obtained the status of historic building in the national register in 1979 and was restored in the 1980 s and 1990 s. It has lost nothing from its superb and remains one of Manhattan's most prominent addresses. It now houses the restaurant Petrossian.

Near the Madison Square. In the past, it was the centre of the music industry in New York: composers, agents, arrangers, publicists, scholars held their offices.

Since 1886, this beautiful house is the seat of a club of actors who count (or included) among its members John Lionel Barrymore, Frank Sinatra, Keith Carradine, Walter Cronkite, Jack Lemmon, Sir Laurence Olivier, Richard Gere…

This funicular has been in operation since 1877. It now works on electricity and not on steam: that is the only difference. Park down at the Lower Station on Carson Street and within a few minutes on the edge of this engineering marvel, you can reach the panoramic point of Pittsburgh at the top of the wooded hills of Mount Washington, 120 metres high. The funicular was restored in 1963 and it is in the hand-carved carriages that you get to the people who borrow it to go to the office.

This house was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1950 s, at the request of a couple of Kaufmann friends of Fallingwater. Perfectly integrated into the landscape, it exudes a lot of serenity. Celebrated for its functional aspect, it is surprising to learn that the site was visited by Wright, only after the work largely undertaken. Very interesting for those who want to learn a little more about the concept of Usonian House, which means, for Wright, an affordable home, functional, with an important interaction between inside and outside. For those who wish to stay in the surroundings, you can sleep in another house made by Wright, Duncan House, converted into a luxury guesthouse since 2007.

" Gaol "comes from the former English and pronounces prison (djayl). It is therefore the former prison in Nantucket, as the lourds in the windows testify. Opened in 1806 to replace the former prison, its structure in solid oak is reinforced by heavy nuts and thick bars in iron, so as to make attempts to escape. However, the records of the prison attest to successful attempts, such as this 15-year-old boy who took the heels from the fire of the chimney.
