History The synagogue was commissioned by the ''Agoudas Hakehilos'' (אֲגֻדָּת־הַקְּהִלּוֹת, union of the communities), society composed of Orthodox Jews of primarily Russian origin, headed by Joseph Landau. Its erection is a testament to the massive wave of immigration from Eastern Europe that took place at the turn of the 20th century. Funded by this wealthy Polish-Russian group it did not cost the Parisian community a ''centime''. They intended to provide a spacious and modernized place for Jews accustomed to the intimate and often squalid ''shtiblakh''. The construction of the Synagogue started in 1913 a ...

At his death, Cognacq gave the collection to the City of Paris, which in 1929 inaugurated the Musée Cognacq-Jay at 25 boulevard des Capucines, a building especially conceived for it by the Cognacq couple, who wished to display the collection in the intimacy of a seemingly inhabited home, without the conventions of a museum. In 1990 however, the City, arguing that the Boulevard des Capucines was not part of a "cultural circuit", sought the approval of the ''legal'' heirs (the owners of La Samaritaine), and, under silent disagreement of ...

Mairie 3e Arrondo 20040914
In local government, a city hall, town hall, civic centre (in the UK or Australia), guildhall, or a municipal building (in the Philippines), is the chief administrative building of a city, town, or other municipality. It usually houses the city or town council, its associated departments, and their employees. It also usually functions as the base of the mayor of a city, town, borough, county or shire, and of the executive arm of the municipality (if one exists distinctly from the council). By convention, until the middle of the 19th century, a single large open chamber (or "hall") formed an integral part of the building housing the council. The hall may be used for council meetings and other significant events. This large chamber, the "town hall" (and its later variant "city hall") has become synonymous with the whole building, and with the administrative body housed in it. The terms "council chambers", "municipal building" or variants may be used locally in preference t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lycée Victor Hugo, Paris
The Lycée Victor-Hugo is a secondary school in the 3rd arrondissement, Paris, France. History The school is built on the site of the Convent of the Heavenly Annunciation, called the Blue Girls, founded in 1622. The convent was destroyed in 1796 and replaced by two apartment houses. The state acquired the property in 1892 and razed the buildings. New buildings were designed by the architect Anatole de Baudot (1834-1915), completed in 1894. Through a presidential decree of 17 July 1895, the school was named after the French writer Victor Hugo (1802-1885). At first there were one hundred pupils. Due to growth in the number of pupils, the school purchased a group of buildings in 1938 on the rue Vieille-du-Temple, where it opened the petit lycée Victor-Hugo. In 1857 another property was purchased on 11 rue Barbette. In 1960 the original building by Anatole de Baudot, the first reinforced concrete building, was destroyed to make way for a canteen covered by a terrace. In 1970 the sch ...

Medieval Priory
A priory is a monastery of men or women under religious vows that is headed by a prior or prioress. Priories may be houses of mendicant friars or nuns (such as the Dominicans, Augustinians, Franciscans, and Carmelites), or monasteries of monks or nuns (as with the Benedictines). Houses of canons regular and canonesses regular also use this term, the alternative being "canonry". In pre-Reformation England, if an abbey church was raised to cathedral status, the abbey became a cathedral priory. The bishop, in effect, took the place of the abbot, and the monastery itself was headed by a prior. History Priories first came to existence as subsidiaries to the Abbey of Cluny. Many new houses were formed that were all subservient to the abbey of Cluny and called Priories. As such, the priory came to represent the Benedictine ideals espoused by the Cluniac reforms as smaller, lesser houses of Benedictines of Cluny. There were likewise many conventual priories in Germany and Italy dur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
