Restoring the Old Capitol (1977)
The Old Capitol Building housed almost the entire university from 1857 to 1863. As the school grew, the Old Capitol remained the focal point of the university, serving as a library, chapel, and armory, and providing space for classrooms and offices. The state of Iowa authorized a major renovation of the building in the 1920s, and it continued to function as a classroom and office building until the 1970s. University presidents had their offices there until the 1970s.
In 1970, the building needed another renovation. However, the university decided against converting the building into a modern office building. Instead, the offices were moved out, and the university undertook a six year interior renovation of the building, restoring it back to its original condition as a government building in the 1850s. The Old Capitol Building reopened to the public on the nation's bicentennial, July 4, 1976, as a National Historic Landmark.

Okoboji Bridge IA
Located 4 files west of Fostoria in southern Dickinson County, Iowa, this bridge spans the Little Sioux River, carrying an abandoned road (180th Avenue). At 83 feet, the 1909 span is the only Thacher pony truss that was ever built. The bridge was originally built at the site of the US 71 Bridge in Okoboji, spanning the strait connecting East and West Lake Okobojis connecting Okoboji and Arnolds Park. However the bridge was replaced by a concrete arch bridge in 1926 and this truss bridge was relocated here. Its future is in doubt, for as you can see in my video commentary, the bridge was knocked off its foundation by flooding in 2011. Upon consultation with authorities, there seems to be no plan as to what to do with the bridge, as it sits in the river, covered with tree branches. The truss bridge appears to be in good shape and can be used again, but its future is undoubtedly questionable even to this day....

STORYLINE:
The large blizzard slamming the east coast of the USA did not manage to keep all Philadelphians indoors on Saturday.
Instead, many took to the streets to enjoy the storm by taking pictures, going for coffee and some even taking out their skis to enjoy traffic-free streets.
Meanwhile, city workers and fire department officials were hard at work patrolling and clearing off sidewalks from an estimated foot of snow that was expected to continue pilling on into the night.
Philadelphia, like most of the east coast, is expecting nearly two feet (60 centimetres) of snow or more.
Snow is expected to continue to fall into the night.

Adirondack Carousel - Preparing for the Grand Opening
This installment of Build A Carousel encompasses the period beginning immediately after the installation of the Adirondack Carousel's mechanicals in the later part of April 2012 until immediately before The Grand Opening of the Adirondack Carousel on Saturday May 26, 2012.
The Adirondack Carousel is located in the William Morris Park at the intersection of Bloomingdale Avenue (New York State Route 3) and Depot Street in downtown Saranac Lake, N.Y. From the original idea to The Grand Opening on May 26, 2012 more than a decade transpired. The Adirondack Carousel is owned by a not-for-profit (IRS code 501-c-3) corporation whose goals are multiple but include education, entertainment, and the economic promotion of Saranac Lake, N.Y. in particular, and the Adirondack Region in general. Paula Hameline has recently been hired as the Executive Director, and to my knowledge is the only paid employee of the carousel at this time. Volunteers provide the rest of the labor force for the Adirondack Carousel.
This is a truly unique, reasonably priced, and family orientated amusement in downtown Saranac Lake, N.Y.
This video is the first in my series of presentations on You Tube about The Adirondack Carousel to have only one type of Band Organ playing all seven songs heard during the video. The type of Band Organ is known as a Wurlitzer 165 and there are only eleven of these remaining in the entire world, unfortunately the twelfth was lost in a tragic fire which destroyed a PTC carousel and a Wurlitzer 165 Band Organ in the mid-ninetees at Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester, NY.
The purposes of this series of video presentations is two fold: (1) to document for current and future generations the building of the Adirondack Carousel, and (2) to introduce to the younger generation, and re-introduce to an older generation, the truly wonderful and unique sound of band organ music. At the current time only recorded band organ music is played on the Adirondack Carousel, but a movement is just beginning to be organized to purchase a real live band organ for the carousel, hopefully this movement will be successful. This would help to distinguish the Adirondack Carousel from many newer carousels which rely solely on recorded music.
The Wurlitzer 165 that is properly tuned and maintained is a wonder to behold. Wurlitzer band organ catalogues of the early twentieth century list its price as $3500 (a basic band organ at that time could be purchased from Wurlitzer for approximately $700. Of the remaining 11 Wurlitzer 165s at most five are available for the public to hear, including one located at Glen Echo Park outside of Washington, D.C (which is owned by the National Park Service of the United States Government, and plays on its own antique Denzel Carousel), one or two in the American Treasure Tours Collection which is located just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and one or two located in California. The remainder are in private collections, and a band organ broker recently told me that there is one in good shape for sale with an asking price of approximately $265,000, talk about inflation! If the Wurlitzer 165 were an automobile it would be a Mercedes, Lexus, or Ranger Rover. The goal for securing a band organ for the Adirondack Carousel is much, much more modest, with the desire to hopefully secure a nicely restored Wurlitzer 146 or 153 Band Organ. Musical presentations by some of these instruments can be found on You Tube by merely entering the type of band organ, i.e., Wurlitzer 165, into the search box and pressing enter. Please read the credits at the end of this video for the names of the songs that the 165s played.
Please explore the Adirondack Carousel website and its Facebook Page to obtain more information about this uniquely entertaining and educational experience, and ways in which you could help it accomplish its multiple goals, with a donation of your time, talent, and financial resources.
One special note of thanks to a truly remarkable and outstanding individual in the world of band organs. Mr. Matthew Caulfield greatly helped with information about band organs in general, and Wurlitzer 165s in particular.
So set back, relax, and enjoy this presentation while listening to the glorious sounds of the best in band organ music, not electronically produced, but produced with the use of vacuum and bellows technology by our grandfathers and great-grandfathers.

Iowa Interstate Mixed Freight Train at Iowa City
A westbound Iowa Interstate Railroad mixed freight train slowly passes through Iowa City, Iowa on June 26, 2016. Two of the railroad's Gevos pull this train. The first one is from the newest batch. This train looks like it's the BICB. It is traveling from Blue Island, Illinois (BI) to Council Bluffs, Iowa (CB).
A few old freight cars make an appearance. There's former Rock Island covered hoppers at 7:38, 7:51, and 10:10. A Family Lines System covered hopper is at 9:56. There's also Galveston Wharves boxcars at 13:49 and 14:28.
This is the first train I've filmed a train on the Iowa Interstate that wasn't a passenger train.
