LANCASTER IN STYLE, PART 21: ENGLISH COTTAGE STYLE, 1920-40

Adorable is an adjective we don’t often associate with any architectural style, but it is the perfect description for English Cottage. As one of the various styles of the interwar period, the English Cottage developed between 1920 and 1940 as an affordable option for the popular Tudor Mansion movement.

The English Cottage, described as cozy and comfortable, is characterized by flat roof lines and the occasionally steep “cat slide” gable.

Exterior materials are combinations of stone, brick, and stucco; Windows are wings that reflect their European “out-swing” heritage. The one- and two-story buildings are modeled on the cottages of the Cotswolds in England and are often set between trees and flower gardens with an arched front door. The tall, stacked chimneys often appear at the front entrance, creating a unique silhouette and skyline for passers-by.

This English cottage-style house has nested gables, a steep sloping roof, and dormer windows and casement windows.

Built around 1928 in a wooded setting on Wilson Drive, this English cottage-style home features a slate roof, classic dormer windows and a stone fireplace.

The English cottage style uses the “dormer” detail to shorten the overall height of the building and provide more floor space on the second floor. The dormer closes flush with the outer wall and breaks through the eaves, whereby the

Signature effect.

Elements made of heavy wooden beams and consoles, especially on the porches, additionally reinforce a medieval connection. The style’s popularity continued to grow when mail order companies such as Sears & Roebuck offered complete English Cottage house kits for $ 1,500 in the 1920s and 30s.

Interestingly, a parallel style called the Storybook Style developed in Hollywood, California, transforming the English Cottage into a fairytale-like appearance with whimsical roof lines, crooked doors and windows, and in some cases thatched roofs.

Lancaster Architects C. Emlen Urban, James H. Warner,

Henry Y. Shaub and Melvern R. Evans quickly embraced the English Cottage style and added it to their growing portfolio. There are exceptional examples of this quaint style across the county, particularly to the west of the city. The style is now over 100 years old and nature has worked its magic to bring the “delightful” cottages into their perfect setting.

What are the interwar styles?

The styles that developed between WWI and WWII were English Cottage, French, Dutch, and Spanish Revival.

What is a Cat Slide Gable?

It is effectively a regular gable roof with one side that goes deeper to the ground. The name comes from the idea that a cat thrown on the roof will “slide” to the ground.

Why don’t we see thatched roofs in Lancaster County?

The thatched roof requires a very steep roof of over 45 degrees to quickly drain away water and snow. In addition, handicrafts and materials for roof assembly would have to be imported from Europe.

Store 7 Black and White Outfits Impressed by Stockholm Road Type

by

Stockholm Fashion Week is over and photographer Søren Jepsen was there to capture the most stylish in town. These seemingly simple looks caught the eye between bright colors, eye-catching prints and current accessories. The trade fair visitors opted for many black and white items, from handbags to boots and knitwear to suits. The combination of colorless hues is a modern take on the effortless minimalist style we often see from Scandinavia; Instead of neutral camels and grays, however, it was bolder, yet minimalist, recognized black and white.

On the Falling runways, we might have seen garments collaged in bright colors, glamorous resurrection Party clothes, and poppy aughts-inspired style, but this group of street-style stars gave us inspiration for fall fashion outfits that are a little easier to digest (and also to wear). Mixing versatile pieces like iVory jeans, black outerwear, or white buttons will always be a reliable recipe for season-independent, cool style.

Coolidge Nook Theatre Brookline enlargement impressed by artwork deco type

by

The plush red curtains and gold leaf accents are usually the first clue to visitors that their visit to the Coolidge Corner Theater is not just an evening at the movies, but evening entertainment.

Then they look up.

The jewel-colored Art Deco sunburst pattern on the ceiling of Moviehouse I is just one of the many distinctive stylistic features that the independent theater not only in Brookline but also around the world.

“I always tell people when they’re here, ‘Look up! Look up! ‘”Said Katherine Tallman, director and CEO of the theater. “But it’s really the whole experience, right, when you walk in and just hear people say, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.'”

Now the Coolidge is getting a long-awaited $ 12.5 million addition that takes its existing quirks and visual themes and offers a new perspective and ushers the theater into its next act.

Originally built as a universalist church in 1906, the Coolidge brought the screen to Brookline when it was reinvented as an Art Deco film Theater in 1933.

The theater survived financial problems and remediation threats over the years and as 2020 rolled around shows left and right sold out, proving the need for more seats and screens, Tallman recalled. Then the pandemic hit.

Forced to temporarily close its doors, the theater turned to online programming and tested a number of innovative ways to entertain his audience and to keep his books in the black. The Coolidge even took part in the 2021 Sundance Film Festival as one of several Satellite screens across the country. After a gradually reopening, the theater is now fully occupied again.

Katherine Tallman, Executive Director & CEO of the Coolidge Corner Theater, pointed out the area that will be expanded on June 28, 2021.

It may seem like an odd time planning an expensive post-pandemic expansion, but the Coolidge’s new addition has been in the works for years. The theater received Town Meeting approval in 2013 to build in the parking lot behind the building at 290 Harvard Street.

Space to grow

According to Tallman, there were several factors behind the need for expansion.

One of the more visible needs is space in the lobby: currently, customers are queuing outside to buy tickets in rain or shine. Once inside, they have to fight the crowds for the concession booths.

“Our concession sales are so limited because if you’ve been in here unless you’re with a friend, you won’t get popcorn and a glass of wine or beer because you don’t have enough time and we have lines that go up the stairs, ”said Tallman. A spacious new lobby allows indoor ticketing and less crowded concessions.

The Coolidge Corner Theater, known as

The new expansion will also add a 150-seat screen and a 60-seat screen, expanding the theater’s programming options, according to Tallman. The Coolidge now has a limited number of screens – two larger movie theaters and two smaller projection rooms – and film distributors often need at least 150 available spots for a first feature film, she explained.

“We often couldn’t accept all of the films that we were offered or that our customers wanted,” said Tallman.

The Coolidge team also plans to add a Community Education and Engagement Center to the off-screen program, which will include a catering kitchen and rooftop terrace. Tallman says the room is ideal for groups watching a movie and wanting a debriefing afterwards.

“We know that film is a good basis for understanding and discussion. … I think there are a lot of difficult issues that can be discussed and addressed by watching a movie with someone else, ”she said. “One of our components of our mission is to entertain, inform and engage – to build a lively community through film culture.”

Do not worry; the marquee is safe

Earlier this month, Coolidge announced that it had hit 85% of its $ 12.5 million goal Fundraiser still running.

The project is due for fee waiver Tuesday before the Select Board, and construction could begin as early as the first week of July, according to Tallman. The theater will be open for regular operations during construction of the new fossil fuel-free expansion, which is slated to be completed in August 2022.

During the year-long process, Coolidge has found overwhelming support from the Brookline community, Tallman said.

She noticed some social media reviewers complaining that the extension looked bare in the architectural renderings and others who wondered if the construction would affect the theater’s iconic marquee. (The new lobby will be decorated with Coolidge’s usual cinematic flair, including posters and memorabilia, and the marquee will remain in place, Tallman assured.)

The expansion will complement and honor some of the existing design elements, as she explained.

“We want this to be aesthetically consistent, and what we’ve learned is that this is Art Deco, but Art Deco is really a style and is interpreted differently in different time periods,” she said.

Architects’ plans Höweler + Yoon capture the exuberance of the Art Deco era, pick up on the colors of the existing theater and make small allusions through the details.

For example, Tallman recalled, early plans showed a metal case for the expansion. The Coolidge pushed back and said he didn’t fit in the neighborhood.

“And so they came up with this wave pattern, but it’s all made of white brick,” said Tallman. “And Eric Höweler, the architect, will tell you that it reminds you of the curtain.”

10 TV reveals which have impressed a couple of spinoff | Leisure

by

Like their big screen brothers – i.e. the joint sequel – TV spinoffs carry a similar burden of low expectations. Indeed, the worst examples are little more than formulaic money creations attempting to capitalize on the iconography and success of their predecessors. However, as you will soon see, there are clear exceptions to the rule. Because who can argue with the lingering charm and unique rewards of shows like “Frasier” or “The Jeffersons”, both of which were spin-offs?

Meanwhile, in today’s expansive cultural climate, the concept of a spin-off can get a little complicated. Take something like “The Archie Show” for example. Based on a comic book series, it debuted in 1968 and inspired a number of direct spin-offs. But do modern vehicles like “Riverdale” and “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”, both of which include Archie characters, technically count as spin-offs from the original cartoon series? Then there’s a show like Good Times, a spin-off from Maude that is a spin-off from All in the Family. Does that mean that “Good Times” is also a spin-off from “All in the Family”?

Forklift Dug into TV history and identified 10 shows that inspired multiple spin-offs. For the sake of clarity, every series that could be associated with an original predecessor was counted as a spin-off. Films, one-time TV specials and webisodes were not included. In some cases, the spin-off became a hit of its own. In others it was quickly forgotten. Regardless of their fate, each one expands the universe of an iconic predecessor, thereby expanding the TV landscape as a whole.

Lenny Kravitz Impressed by The Jackson 5 | Leisure Information

by

Lenny Kravitz went “crazy” about becoming a musician after seeing the Jackson 5 at a concert.

The 57-year-old singer has always felt particularly attached to music. Because he felt “alive” and after bringing his idol on stage, he knew he wanted to be there in the future too.

Hello england! Magazine: “The only thing I thought about was doing it with music. I was drawn to music and knew that it was really doing something for me. This is me. Awakened and brought to life.

“I loved listening to records and the radio in my father’s car.

“When I was 6 or 7, my father surprised me and took me to Madison Square Garden in New York to see my favorite group, the Jackson 5.

“From that day on I was completely absorbed in living my life with music.”

Meanwhile, the “Fly Away” hitmaker has admitted that since his youth he has had a good habit of taking care of himself both domestically and internationally.

He says: “Overall, I’m very natural. It took care of my body when I was in high school and started eating organic.

“Then I started taking care of both the outside and the inside.

“Exercise and exercise to keep all parts of your body in good condition and healthy.

“Then it evolved to give something natural to your skin and your face, your body and your hair.”

And Lenny’s product routine is now very minimal.

He says, “I tend to wash my face with just water or maybe a very mild natural soap most of the time.

“My hair is terrible so all I have to do is keep it clean and oil it. It’s very easy. Then it depends on the scent. “

Zara Larsson’s new album is impressed by Swedish pop legends ABBA | Leisure

by

Zara Larsson’s upcoming album “Poster Girl” is inspired by the Swedish pop legends ABBA.

The ‘WOW’ singer will release her third studio recording on March 5th. She has announced that she has embraced her Swedish roots and was inspired by the artists she listened to for her childhood as “escapism”.

She said: “I was really inspired by Swedish pop legends like ABBA, Roxette, Robyn – I was definitely proud of my pop legacy.

“I realized that pop has always been a form of escapism for me. Now we have Tik Tok, we have Instagram and algorithms that lure you in and take you away from reality, but growing up pop was my form of escapism and it always has been. I would look in the mirror and pretend I was somewhere else, like I was someone else. I think it has a lot to do with wanting to entertain people. “

The main theme of the LP – the 2017 sequel to ‘So Good’ – is love, and the 23-year-old singer admitted she has much more creative control this time around.

She said, “I feel a little more honest. I feel like I can resonate more with emotions and it’s mostly about love there. ‘Poster Girl’ – my album – is about what I want to do, what I want to talk about, and I always talk about love because I think that is the most important feeling in the whole world.

“I feel like I have a lot more creative control over this album, so I let it be a lot more pop and dance because I fucking love pop. It’s still the same old me, but I’ve just improved a bit. If you liked ‘So Good’, you will probably love this album. It’s a lot more fun and if it helps people in these times then I think that is really important.

“I’m always in development mode. I don’t think I’ll ever say, “This is the new me” or “I’m a whole new person”. I’ll never be a finished version of myself – it’s an ongoing process. “

The “Ain’t My Fault” hitmaker is with model Lamin Holmén and raved about the fact that she is happy and in love with the “coronavirus pandemic”.

She said, “It will sound so cheesy, but I’m so happy and in love. That really got me through all of this. I’ve never felt love like this before. I don’t know how to say this without being super cheesy, but I’m just so in love. I’m like, ‘I want to have your babies’, ‘I want us to get married, I want it now’ – it’s crazy! Sometimes I think I can’t be that lucky. I know something bad is going to happen to me very soon because it’s just not legal to feel this good. “

“You know, nobody is strong on their own and nobody is an island, especially in these times, and it really helped me. How are you supposed to trust yourself when you don’t have people to support and believe in you? I just don’t think it’s really possible. I am just very grateful. I think it’s so important to find your community where people understand you and uplift you – it’s like finding your little tribe in some way. “
