NEW YORK – The organization that federal investigators say is a front for the Iranian government has spent millions of dollars over the years on philanthropy: buying property for four U.S. mosques, funding religious schools and language classes, and translating books on Islam.

The move to seize assets held by the New York-based Alavi Foundation will cripple the charity's work and put the government in the awkward position of potentially shutting down the houses of worship, which occupy buildings and land that Alavi owns.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/razi-school-islamic-institute-of-ny/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/razi-school-islamic-institute-of-ny/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:11:18 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/razi-school-islamic-institute-of-ny/ 40.74232300 -73.90985200 <![CDATA['Mabel McDowell Adult Education Center' by John Carl Warnecke]]>

In 2004 work was completed on a new expansion. The "Sharp Centre for Design", designed by architect Will Alsop, of Alsop Architects, in a joint venture with Toronto-based Robbie/Young + Wright Architects Inc. It consists of a box four storeys off the ground supported by a series of multi-coloured pillars at different angles and is often described as a tabletop. The $42.5 million expansion and redevelopment has received numerous awards, including the first-ever Royal Institute of British Architects Worldwide Award, the award of excellence in the "Building in Context" category at the Toronto Architecture and Urban Design Awards, and was deemed the most outstanding technical project overall in the 2005 Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards.]]>

In June 1885, 19 year-old school teacher Bernard J. Cigrand held the first recognized formal observance of Flag Day at the Stony Hill School.

A year later, while attending dental school in Chicago, he wrote a newspaper article proposing an annual observance of the birth of the United States flag. He spent much of his life promoting this idea and eventually became president of the American Flag Day Association. He made over 2,000 speeches on patriotism and the flag.

While not an official federal holiday, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation establishing Flag Day as an annual national event in 1916.]]>

On May 14, 1890, the Benedictine Sisters bought the building and grounds of the vacant military school from Mary Virginia Macon for $15,000. Improvements were made to the large three story building and the former military school was opened under the new name of Mount St. Scholastica Academy in September 1890. With a teaching staff of four nuns and a principal, all was well with the school until 1895 when the building was all but destroyed in a blast that blew out windows, cracked walls and unsettled the roof. This was caused when workers digging a tunnel near the hogbacks of nearby Skyline drive used more explosives than needed. ]]>

The Fort Meade Historical Museum is housed in the first indoor school of Fort Meade and is located on the corner of Tescumeh Avenue and Main Street (Broadway). This schoolhouse, built in 1885, was donated to the Historical Society and moved from its original site on South Lanier Avenue to the present location in 1989. Following the year as a school, this building served as a private residence and then a boarding house. Extensive renovation took place in 1990 and 1991 on the first floor. The building was then inactive until 1998, when a small group of volunteers took an interest and started to put some of the collection artifacts into place. In 1999 refurbishing of the second floor began to accommodate the extensive collection of the Historical Society and in September 2000, the museum was opened to the public. Many of the treasures within the museum were donated by descendents of the pioneer families of our community. The museum also holds a pictorial collection of the historic homes that can be found throughout Fort Meade. ]]>

The Brownville School was built in 1927-28. J.C. Harris was the architect who built it and supervised the construction. It was one of five DeSoto County schools to be closed in 1947 when the school system was consolidated and students were bused into town. Since that time the building has been used as a VFW Hall, community center, federal food commodities distribution office, storm shelter, polling place and a training program for adult mentally handicapped persons. In July 2004 the property was leased to the DeSoto County Historical Society by the DeSoto County School District.]]>
