The Holocaust in Different Eyes

Many times people hear the word “Holocaust” and cringe. Some might become more interested and others might try to avoid it altogether. In schools, some may be taught about what happened by different media sources; however, most of the time it comes from a textbook, a teacher and a documentary. Then maybe a couple years later in an English class, a student is asked to read a novel about the Holocaust. Then in the next semester of the drama class, the production may be The Diary of Anne Frank. All are different ways to learn about a significant event in history. Each media source teaches the same topic but emphasizes different parts of that topic. Some people may be more drawn to watch The Diary of Anne Frank versus listening to a podcast or watching a documentary. How do some of the media sources effect and teach differently than others? Well, each and every media source is a little different, appeals to specific audiences and has a varying level of depth with the knowledge it provides.

First, let’s take a documentary on the Holocaust, for example, Death Mills directed by Billy Wilder in 1945. If we were inside a high school history class, we could probably see many people fall asleep or at least roll their eyes when the teacher announces they are going to be watching a documentary in class. However, documentaries play an important part in a journey for knowledge. Some of the main characteristics of a documentary include but are not limited to: showing the first-hand experience, process-based, informative specifically by including pictures, footage, and sound, and generally have more biased information. Documentaries also play more to the learner rather than those seeking entertainment.

Death Mills is all completely based in Germany following the end of the war when other troops were able to get into “concentration camps” and help with clean up. Although this film is only 22 minutes long, it shows actual footage from concentration camps. The music in the background plays constantly and the narration takes a “back burner” to the footage. The true learning and experiencing come from what you see more than what you hear.

This documentary is showing the first-hand experience. There is footage about halfway through the film that shows dignitaries seeing inside the of the concentration camps for the first time. Then towards the end of the film, it is shown that German citizens were taken through the concentration camps to see what damage had been done. There is footage of people smiling and they look like they are having a good time before they enter the concentration camp. Shortly after the film shows the smiles and good times, it shows women leaving the concentration camp in tears and many people looking down at the ground without a bounce in their step.

Next, we have the book. In this case, we will use The Hiding Place written by Corrie ten Boom in 1971 as a recount of what happened to her as she was providing a hiding place for Jews during the Holocaust. Books and stories generally attract a more broad audience than a documentary. It is quite easy for a book to engage a younger crowd whereas a documentary on the same subject may lose their interest fairly early on. Book and stories can also be informative but they don’t always have the full truth. Therefore, some of the characteristics of books and stories are, creative or imaginative, more of a surface-level knowledge to allow wiggle room in the attention-grabbing parts of the story, and the books and stories have a wide range of people for their audience.

In The Hiding Place, Corrie ten Boom engages her readers by taking them through nearly the everyday life she had before she herself was helping to hide Jews and then ended up being placed in a concentration camp herself. She creates memorable stories of the watch shop that was her house and her neighbors. A story that is very memorable Corrie ten Boom shares are while she is in a concentration camp. She receives a package that contains several different items. Specifically, she received a copy of the Bible which was bound to be taken away if “S.S. guards” were to find it. She found a bench in what may as well have been the corner of the room to briefly store the Bible along with a sweater. Ms. ten Boom expressed the miracle of the guards not finding the only possessions she and her sister had to their name in the concentration camp(ten Boom, p.174-176). This story is remarkable engaging and draws readers in. It also brings the important element of imagery that separates the books and stories from other media sources.

Finally comes the scholarly article. A scholarly article can play to many different people. Scholarly articles typically focus on a specific detail of a bigger picture. Just like a picture is made up of lots of tiny pixels, so is every situation. A scholarly article can cover a single or many “pixels” in the big pictures. The scholarly article “Survival Strategies during the Holocaust and Why them matter” is part of a scholarly journal titled Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies. The author, Jeffrey Kopstein, focuses on a smaller group of the “pixels” of the Holocaust. “Whether Jews cooperated and collaborated, coped and stayed put, evaded their persecutors through escape, or engaged in organized and violent resistance depended upon the skills they had obtained in the years running up to the Nazi occupation and, crucially, on the broader political environment of the particular community(Kopstein, p. 227).”

Most of the time, scholarly articles help us see a specific part of the picture we may not have seen before. This particular article was chosen just for that reason. There have been questions as to why people just didn’t escape concentration camps or why so many died but this article gives great insight into why. Each concentration camp had many different geographic characteristics including the populations that lived nearest. Each concentration camp had different politics. Each concentration camp had different people from different backgrounds.

In conclusion, there are many different ways to learn about a specific topic. Some include documentaries, stories, and scholarly articles. Every person is different but the medium that helps them learn most about the Holocaust can be the same. The most effective of the three would be The Hiding Place which engages the learners and helps many to have a desire to continue learning. The documentary is the next effective. The desire to continue learning afterward may be smaller though. The documentary brings more life to the story. Then the scholarly article is more so for people who are already interested and seeking specific details on specific subjects.

Though the Holocaust is a touchy subject for some, it is a part of our history and a part of our world now. Many people suffer the effects of what happened and the entire world has been affected by the politics that were brought up during the time of the Holocaust and World War II. There isn’t anything we can do about the past but there is a lot we can do about the future. One person can make such a big impact on the lives of millions in a bad way and the same is true for the opposite. Just like how the Nazi party followed Adolf Hitler which led to the Holocaust, people can follow just one person and it can make a lasting impression on the world. Every person has the potential to make a difference for good or bad.

God’s Secrets in the Pyramids?

Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay The Great pyramids of Giza are, as just about everyone knows, large stone structures believed to have been built perhaps 4,000 – 4,500 years ago as tombs for the Pharaoh. They have a great deal to do with their pagan worldview, beliefs about the afterlife and the presumed necessity of preserving the body. Prior to the building of the Eiffel Tower, they were the tallest man made structures in the world. With their rather amazing geometric accuracy, some believed their construction was guided by something other-worldly, a belief that still exists in some circles today. Something which has recently gained popularity in the evangelical church is the Enneagram. We would argue that it is a mystical and occultic – “tool” that many Christians today believe has great significance for their relationship with God and their fellow Christians. On the surface, we wouldn’t think to compare its current devoted use by Christians to occultic tools, such as Pyramidology, that infected and influenced the Christian church in times past. But there are some interesting parallels. Some Enneagram teachers, like Christopher Heuertz, believe that the Enneagram has very ancient origins and may have originated in ancient Egypt: …it’s suggested the Enneagram may be as “old as Babylon,” while others claim there is evidence the Enneagram first showed up over six thousand years ago in ancient Egypt.((Heuertz, Christopher L.. The Sacred Enneagram (p. 43). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.)) The alleged link to pagan Egypt didn’t originate with Heuertz. As he wrote, “others claimed there is evidence” that “it first showed up…in ancient Egypt.” Who might we suppose made the claim? PD Ouspensky, disciple of mystic inventor of the Enneagram George Gurdjieff, is a likely suspect. The BBC’s interesting article, “A Short History of Pyramidology,” under the subheading “Occultists,” writes: Not surprisingly, the Pyramid was also seized on by just about every one of the mystical cults that thrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries - above all by the Theosophists, an influential group founded by one Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-91). In her widely read, if all-but-unreadable, books, The Secret Doctrine (1888) and Isis Unveiled (1877), she explained to her followers that the Pyramid was 'the everlasting record and the indestructible symbol of the Mysteries and Initiations on Earth'. Thanks to Mme Blavatsky, the Pyramid became an essential point of pilgrimage for all self-respecting occultists. Among the notable necromancers and magi who made the journey were the Russian mathematician and mystic PD Ouspensky, whose cult is still alive in various forms today… Necromancer? Magi? Russian mystic? Which “cult” was PD Ouspensky involved with which the BBC could been alluding to in 2017? Well, that would be the Enneagram. In 1859, a Brit by the name of John Taylor, whom some refer to as “eccentric,” published The Great Pyramid: Why Was It Built? And Who Built It? John Taylor believed the “pyramid inch” was “one twenty-fifth of a "sacred cubit." Building on that, Astronomer-Royal of Scotland, Professor C. Piazzi Smyth, who was himself involved in the cult of British Israelism, built on Taylor’s work and ideas. Both believed the pyramids were divinely inspired, designed by God using God’s math. Smyth regarded Taylor’s supposition as a way to prove God’s existence, as well as providing evidence that the Brit’s standard of measurement was very close to God’s standard of measurement - as opposed to what he referred to as “atheistic French”: Smyth was hardly a dispassionate, objective scientist when dealing with the pyramid. His writings show that he certainly had a deep emotional commitment to demonstrating "scientifically" that the Christian religion is true, and that he saw his work with the pyramid as a means by which he could do so. Smyth also had a great antipathy towards the metric system, which he regarded as the flawed produce of the minds of atheistic French radicals. Over and over again in his book The Great Pyramid, Smyth heaps ridicule and scorn upon the metric system and its inventors for using "unnatural" standard units of measurement. (See PYRAMIDOLOGY) Many of Taylor and Smyth’s dubious occultic ideas made their way across Europe and moved on to America where they infected Christians and cultists alike: A number of Christian religious leaders accepted the Taylor-Smyth theory and made it an article of faith. Numerous Englishmen took it up, and in France the abbé F. Moigno, the cannon of St. Denis at Paris, became its foremost advocate. (See PYRAMIDOLOGY) Pyramidology became the legacy of the followers of the Baptist minister William Miller, who famously predicted the return of Jesus Christ for 1843 and then 1844 (Second Adventism, as well as Seventh Day Adventism and other Adventist groups, arose out of the “disappointed” Millerite Movement) Second Adventist George Stetson passed pyramidology on to another Second Adventist, George Storrs of Brooklyn, NY who published, “The Bible Examiner.” Another Second Adventist, Nelson Barbour, also saw the Great Pyramid as “God’s stone witness.” Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Bible Students, which morphed into the Jehovah’s Witnesses, picked up pyamidology from these three. Russell is today buried near a 9 ft pyramid. Russell had been raised Presbyterian and Congregationalist, but at the age of 20, in 1872, he radically reimagined his faith because he could not reconcile the doctrine of hell with God’s mercy. Not finding the answers he liked from the churches, he set out to find answers elsewhere to unlock the Bible and its mysteries, and he ran into these three Second Adventists. Through careful study of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which Russell referred to as “God’s stone witness,” he settled on what he believed to be God’s “plan of salvation” and the timing of Christ’s return, which he initially set for 1874. He (and other Second Adventists) arrived at the date through the measurement of the passageways in the Egyptian pyramids. In Series III of Russell’s Studies in the Scriptures: Thy Kingdom Come, he writes: The Great Pyramid, however, proves to be a storehouse of important truth – scientific, historic, and prophetic…((Charles Taze Russell, Series III of Russell’s Studies in the Scriptures: They Kingdom Come; Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, Allegheny, PA, 1907, p. 314)) Russell thought it to be a secret in Scripture that would be revealed when the time was right: If it was built under God’s direction, to be one of his witnesses to men, we might reasonably expect some allusion to it in the written Word of God. And yet, since it was evidently part of God’s purpose to keep secret, until the Time of the End, features of the plan of which it gives testimony, we should expect that any reference to it in the Scriptures would be, as it is, somewhat undercover - to be recognized only when due to be understood. Isaiah, as quoted above, testifies of an altar and pillar in the land of Egypt, which “shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt.” In the context shows that it shall be a witness in the day when the great Savior and Deliverer shall come to break the chains of oppression and to set at liberty captives - of which things our Lord preached at his first advent (Luke 4:18.) The scope of this prophecy is but dimly seen, however until Egypt is recognized as a symbol or type of the world of mankind, full of vein philosophies, which only darken their understandings, but ignorant of the true light. ((Charles Taze Russell, Series III of Russell’s Studies in the Scriptures: They Kingdom Come; Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, Allegheny, PA, 1907, p. 315)) Notice the language here. We would know that the pyramid was built “under God’s direction” if we can find some allusion to it in Scripture. Russell then goes on to argue that indeed the Great Pyramid is found in Scripture - but it was a secret which God would later reveal near the end times just prior to the return of Jesus. And why should anyone believe that? Because, in Russell’s circular reasoning, we now have something outside of the Bible – the Great Pyramid – with which to interpret the secrets of Scripture. And what of the Enneagram? If is a truly an essential spiritual tool, might we “reasonably expect some allusion to it in the written Word of God,” as Russell said of the sacred secrets of the pyramid? We can only surmise that it was evidently part of God’s purpose to keep the Enneagram a secret as well! Evidently, it was a very well-kept secret indeed, hidden from the church and individual Christians for all these many centuries, though they had the Bible the whole time! And yet, according to its promoters - New Age mystical promoters we might add - it is the very face of God with each number being one’s personal path to God! That sounds critically important to the Christian’s salvation and walk! Would God keep such a vital secret from His people for all these centuries, while at the same time safeguarding the secret in the hands of mystics and occultists? The Enneagram and Pyramidology are more closely related than appears at first glance, even aside fact that they share the devotion of PD Ouspensky. Like former Presbyterian Charles Russell found the secrets to Christian salvation and prophecy in occultic Pyramidology, too many of today’s Christians are finding mystical connections with God - which they seem unable to find in Scripture – in the occult medium of the Enneagram. Was the church completely in the dark until Christians embraced the Enneagram in 2016 - or have Christians allowed themselves to be led into darkness by mystical charlatans?

The 1897 Richard S. Barnes Mansion - 316 West 75th Street

Despite being one of ten children, Richard Storrs Barnes enjoyed a privileged upbringing. Born in 1854 in Brooklyn, his father, Alfred Smith Barnes, was the principal in the leading textbook publishing house in the nation, A. S. Barnes & Co. Richard was educated at the Gunnery School in Washington, Connecticut; the Williston Seminary in East Hampton, Massachusetts; and finally at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He initially entered his father's business, moving to Chicago to manage that branch of the firm. In 1880 he married Hattie Day Barbour of Harford. Around the time of his father's death in 1888 he returned to New York; Richard's brother, Alfred C. Barnes took over the family business. While Richard remained a director in the company (which grew into the conglomerate American Book Company); he branched out into myriad professional interests. He became treasurer of Braunworth & Co., printers, and secretary and treasurer of the Barnes Real Estate Association. He invested heavily in mining and was treasurer of the Automatic Fire Alarm Company. Richard and Hattie had three children, Goodrich (who tragically died at the age of 12), Hattie Louise and Roderic Barbour Barnes. Their Washington, Connecticut country home, Westlawn, was a sprawling Queen Anne-style riot of gables and porches and chimneys.

In 1895 ground was broken for the Barnes's new city home at No 316 West 75th Street, just steps from Riverside Drive. Richard had hired one of Manhattan's premier mansion architects, C. P. H. Gilbert, to design a 38-foot wide residence--nearly double the width of a standard home. Construction took two years and resulted in an impressive five-story residence faced in cream-colored Roman brick and trimmed in limestone. Gilbert splashed his Renaissance Revival design with Beaux Arts touches--like torches, swags and lions' heads above the fourth floor openings, and the eye-catching oculus over the service entrance. While other architects strove to downplay doorways where deliverymen and servants came and went, Gilbert fronted this one with grand iron gates and carved Renaissance style gateposts and lavished its round window with cornucopia.

Sadly abused as a repository for trash today, the service entrance was given grand treatment by C. P. H. Gilbert. Note the individualized carvings of the gate posts.

The second floor featured tall French windows with balconettes. The center opening of the rounded bay wore an elaborate stone hood, the tympanum of which overflowed with foliate carvings and a crest. (Close inspection reveals a dog standing proudly above that crest.) The bay provided a stone-balustraded balcony to the fourth floor. A stone cornice supported by foliate brackets completed the design.

The Barnes family's upscale lifestyle was reflected in Richard's entering steeds in the fashionable New York Horse Show, in his memberships in the New England Society of New York, the Metropolitan Club and the Down Town Association. The names of Manhattan's wealthy routinely appeared in print as they boarded steamships headed to Europe. But that was not the case when Richard and Hattie climbed aboard the Hamburg-American vessel Moltke on January 10, 1903. They were embarking on a pleasure cruise--a forerunner of today's popular ocean cruises. The New-York Tribune reported the ship would visit the principal islands in the West Indies and Nassau. The ports of call would be familiar to vacationers taking a cruise today--St. Thomas, San Juan, Kingston, Jamaica and Nassau among others.

On September 17, 1904 Richard and Hattie announced the engagement of Hattie Louise to Alfred Severin Bourne. The New-York Tribune noted as well, "Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, whose country home is Westlawn, Washington, Conn., spent the early part of the summer in Europe." While Bourne's family was immensely wealthy (the newspaper called their Oakdale home "one of the finest country places in Long Island"), there were indications that the young man was a bit of a playboy. The 21-year old groom-to-be had inherited $1 million from his godfather, Corman Clark, that year and another half million on the interest that had accumulated on the fund prior to his coming of age. The New-York Tribune put a positive spin on his dropping out of school by saying "He entered Yale about a year ago, but preferred a business career." Hattie Louise had debuted into society the previous winter. In the summer of 1904 Alfred's parents celebrated his "coming of age" at Oakdale with events that rivaled the most lavish of debutante entertainments. The Sun commented "There were luncheons, dinners and dances ashore and afloat." The wedding took place in the West End Collegiate Church on West End Avenue just two blocks north of the Barnes residence the following spring. The social importance of the event was evidenced by the guest list. The New-York Tribune reported on April 17, 1905, "Some of those invited to the wedding were President and Mrs. Roosevelt, Admiral and Mrs. George Dewey, Rear Admiral and Mrs. W. S. Schley, Bishop and Mrs. Potter, General and Mrs. Stewart L. Woodford, Mr. and Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Bliss and Mrs. W. S. P. Prentice." The reception took place in the 75th Street mansion. Roderic married Rose Marie Naething six years later, in September 1911, in the fashionable Church of the Heavenly Rest on Fifth Avenue. Roderic would go on to a promising career as an architect.

On Christmas Day, 1913, Richard Storrs Barnes died in the 75th Street house at the age of 59. The Bookseller estimated his estate to be "at least $500,000." That amount would approach $13 million today. Hattie remained in the residence and following her period of mourning resumed her social activities. Her name appeared in society columns as she visited fashionable watering holes like the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Perhaps the most unusual gathering which she hosted in the residence occurred in the spring of 1917. The highly-popular evangelist Billy Sunday was in town and on May 17 he enthralled a crowd of 18,000 with his unorthodox retelling of the story of how Jesus reformed the tax collector Zaccheus. According to The Sun's report, he said in part: There were a lot of the old guys discussin' Jesus--and they were mostly leaving the dis off--and Zaccheus, who was a rich gazabo of a Jew, wanted to get a good look at Him, so he shinnied up a tree. Well, when Jesus passed right under the three old Zac slid down and Jesus said to him: 'This day I'll abide at thy house.' He didn't even wait for Zaccheus to invite Him. He just said He'd come on over for dinner with him." The reverend paused to consider the wife of Zaccheus. "Gee, I'll bet she was a fine kind of woman not to mind havin' all that bunch drop in on her just at dinner time and nothing to eat but some canned goods." But before that gargantuan event, the preacher had been at the Barnes house. "In the morning Billy delivered a short talk before 300 women and a few men in the home of Mrs. Richard S. Barnes, 316 West Seventy-fifth street. Following the evangelist Mrs. Sunday said a few words." Hattie became involved with the Women's American Oriental Club of New York City. It was founded in April 1915 "to promote friendliness and mutual understanding between women of the Orient and women of America." By 1920 she was its president.

Although heavily abused, the carved newels still stand guard.

In the meantime, Hattie Louise's husband's playboy ways had caught up with him and landed the family name in scandalous newspaper reports. The New-York Tribune's article on December 29, 1918 started out complimentary enough. "Mr. Bourne is a member of the New York Yacht Club, St. Anthony Club and the National Golf Links. His father, Frederick G. Bourne, formerly commodore of the New York Yacht Club, is one of the best known yachtsmen in the United States." But then the article got to the juicier parts. Bourne had been carrying on a relationship with Grace B. Clark, who freely visited the best shops of Manhattan, charging her purchases to Bourne. The illicit affair became public when Grace's bill with the dressing making house of Hickson, Inc., became inordinate--approaching half a million in today's dollars. Pressed for payment, Bourne made a deal to pay $500 a month. But then he stopped payments with a balance of $11,199 still due. Hickson, Inc. sued, Bourne did not attempt to defend himself, and the newspapers eagerly printed the shocking story. Hattie Barnes was 64-years old when she sold No. 316 to the H. M. C. Realty Company, Inc. in 1924. The handsome mansion she and her husband had built more than a quarter of a century earlier was converted to "non-housekeeping apartments," meaning they had no kitchens. The building had few notable tenants. In the 1940's bandleader Jimmy Victor lived here. His advertisement in Billboard magazine in October 1948 announced "Now arranging 1949 indoor and outdoor dates, Jimmy Victor's Show Band." In the 1950's an apartment here was used as the headquarters for the New York Regional Advisory Board of the Society of St. Dismas. The group described its goal as "to aid imprisoned and released prisoners." To that end it furnished reading material to penal institutions and aided released prisoners to find employment and homes. Gay activist Brenda Howard lived in the building in 1972 when she was arrested on June 7. Firefighter Michael Maye was accused of beating a member of the Gay Activist Alliance on April 15 that year. Before his court hearing, she and two other activists created that The New York Times called "a disturbance" in the courtroom. Apparently Brenda was less combative than her companions. While her charges were later dismissed, the other two were held to stand trial on charges of "assault, resisting arrest, harassment and obstructing government administration."

The former elegance of the Barnes mansion manages to triumph over window air conditioners, a commercial-style doorway, and decades of dirt.

The Lord: Our Safe Place in Life and Covering in Death

A miktam of David.

1 Keep me, O God, for I am safe in You. 2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. All the good things I have come from You.” 3 As for those in the land who belong to You, they are the great ones in whom is all my joy. 4 Those who have traded for another god bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their altar gifts of blood. And I will not take their names upon my lips.

5 The Lord is all that I am to receive, and my cup. My future is in Your hands. 6 The land given to me is good. Yes, my share is beautiful to me.

7 I will give honor and thanks to the Lord, Who has told me what to do. Yes, even at night my mind teaches me. 8 I have placed the Lord always in front of me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be moved. 9 And so my heart is glad. My soul is full of joy. My body also will rest without fear. 10 For You will not give me over to the grave. And You will not allow Your Holy One to return to dust. 11 You will show me the way of life. Being with You is to be full of joy. In Your right hand there is happiness forever. — Psalm 16 | New Life Version (NLV) New Life Version Holy Bible Copyright © 1969, 2003 by Barbour Publishing, Inc.

The New Testament describes sin with the word 'hamartia', which means to "miss the mark." Just look at the world around us, filled with people who take advantage of others, the pain of divorce, businesses filled with dishonesty, and a host of other ills. Can we honestly claim that sin has not damaged us--- and our world? Who has not missed the mark of God's righteousness? McQuade, P.L. 2011. HDIGTH? Traveling the Romans Road. Ohio: Barbour Publishing, Inc. p.23

Rihanna Has Teamed Up With ASAI For Her First Fenty Collaboration

Fashion mogul Rihanna plays by her own rules. Always pushing the envelope, the singer-turned-designer has ditched the typical fashion calendar product release dates, instead favouring surprise drops throughout the year. Case in point: her first Fenty collaboration. Joining forces with A Sai Ta of ASAI – a rising London star loved by the likes of Jorja Smith, Teyana Taylor and Dev Hynes – the hybrid capsule collection features 24 pieces.

🎯🥀🌷 24 PIECES ONLY 🤚🥢🥡2 styles of Tops and 4 Dresses OUT NOW 🤢🤮 thank you @fenty FENTY X ASAI exclusively at @theofficialselfridges Art Direction: Metallic INC (@metallicinclondon) Stylist : @jeanpaulpaula Photographer: Florian Joahn (@florian.joahn) Production: Compulsory (@compulsoryview) Models: Sharkkana (@sharkkana) & Zarina Shukri (@zarinashukri) Make-up Artist: Mata Marielle (@matalabs) Hair Stylist: Zateesha Barbour (@zateeshahairstylist

A post shared by ASAI (@asaitakeaway) on Dec 11, 2019 at 5:30am PST

This exclusive drop is a take on Fenty’s recent City Bloom collection, which was built around the idea of “a coming together of power and fragility.” Ta was tasked with reinventing these pieces so he infused each item with the iconic Hot Wok detailing found on ASAI turtlenecks and jersey dresses. Thanks to Ta’s touch, the classic Fenty colourways of iced rose and light matcha and floral print are taken from soft and dreamy to futuristic. These pieces debuted on December 11 and are only available at London’s Selfridges.

Ta started selling his clothing on Instagram, delivering the items in takeout noodle containers. Following his stint at London’s Fashion East program, which nurtured the prestigious young designer’s label, his brand took off and soon became a cult favourite amongst fashion fans in the city and beyond. The collaboration between the designer and RiRi isn’t the first time their paths have crossed – back in October, the Work singer posted a video to Instagram, where she can be seen strutting in his tie-dyed mini dress.

Both Fenty and ASAI have similar visions when it comes to their message in the fashion industry. Finding inspiration from the streets, they create clothes for women of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and walks of life. “We’re all about championing big boss energy!” Ta said in an interview with Vogue. And that’s certainly what this collection serves up.

C. P. H. Gilbert's 23 and 24 Riverside Drive

In 1893 the trustees of the New York Orphan Asylum sold off its sprawling grounds overlooking the Hudson River. Stretching from Riverside Drive to West End Avenue and from 73rd to 75th Streets, it had been bucolic in 1836 when the orphanage was erected. Now it was among the city's most valuable property.

The orphanage grounds were divided into building plots; many of which were purchased by individuals rather than developers. In an unusual cooperative move, eight such buyers hired mansion architect C. P. H. Gilbert to design harmonious side-by-side homes on West 74th Street. Almost simultaneously Asa Hull and George McKesson followed suit. They purchased the lots at Nos. 23 and 24 Riverside Drive, respectively, in 1895 and hired Gilbert to design nearly matching homes.

Gilbert turned to ornate Francois I Revival style for the project, completed in 1897. As he had done on some of the 74th Street homes, he place the upper floors upon a somewhat boxy and unadorned limestone base. Dog-legged stoops with solid wingwalls led to entrances.

The upper three floors were faced in beige Roman brick and trimmed in terra cotta. Two story rounded bays provided balconies at the fourth floors. Above the trios of elaborately decorated fourth-floor openings pairs of fearsome griffins stood guard below an intricate metal cornice. The subtle difference between the two homes was the absence of the center bay windows at No. 24.

Gothic tracery executed in white terra cotta is echoed within the metal arches of the cornice.

Asa Hull was the principal of Asa Hull & Co. at No. 132 Nassau Street, printers of hymnals and religious songbooks. As was often the case within moneyed families, he put the title to No. 23 in the name of his wife, the former Sarah J. Warren. (Although, mysteriously, the earliest building documents list "Lisa Hull" as owner.) The couple's summer home was at Shelter Island.

Hull not only printed the hymns, but wrote them. He had stepped away from his niche of Sunday School songbooks and hymnals briefly in 1877 when he published Hull's Temperance Glee Book. The cover described it as containing "a choice variety of Temperance Songs, Duets and Choruses suitable for the sociable entertainments of the several Temperance Organizations."

Hull produced scores of song books for Sunday Schools like this one. (copyright expired)

Sarah shared her husband's uncompromising moral views and held the office of vice-president of the National Christian League for the Promotion of Social Purity.

When a tax was proposed on "country checks," (or out-of-state checks) in 1899, Asa Hull protested by means of a letter to the editor of the New-York Tribune. It shed much light into the operations of his business, saying in part:

My business is mostly mail business, and nine-tenths of the remittances come from the country in checks, many below $1 each, and the result will be that I shall be obliged to decline all small checks...The nature of my business is such that I could not stand any further taxation.

The houses, seen mid-block here in 1903, were surrounded by mansions when the Hulls and McKessons lived here. from the collection of the Museum of the City of New York

In the meantime, George C. McKesson was a partner in the wholesale pharmaceutical firm McKesson & Robbins, founded in part by his father, John. The McKessons summered at Monmouth Beach in New Jersey. (George's son by a former marriage, George, Jr., had taken his adopted father's surname. George McKesson Brown would eventually build one of Long Island's most magnificent estates, Coindre Hall.)

Almost assuredly, the lifestyles of the McKessons and the Hulls were starkly different. The McKesson name appeared regularly in the social activities of New Jersey resort district. Such was the case on July 3, 1915 when the McKessons were among the more than 200 guests at Hilden, the summer estate of the William Barbour. There they rubbed shoulders with millionaires with names like Schiff, Borden, Fahnestock and Straus.

Sarah J. Hull died on June 29, 1909 and her funeral was held at No. 23 three days later. Asa lived on in the house for another eight years. He died on April 4, 1917 at the age of 92. His funeral, too, was held in the house.

While No. 23 was soon sold to Sarah T. Adams, the McKessons remained next door through the 1920's. But by 1930 both residences were being operated as rooming houses.

The tenants during the Depression years were not all upstanding citizens. "Major" Irving F. Coleman was living at No. 24 on December 3, 1930 when he was arrested there "on the charge of writing worthless checks passed in Washington," according to The New York Times. The article added that he "faced the additional charge of impersonating a Federal officer."

Colman's roommate, John Otis Handy, was an accessory to the crimes. The Times reported that he "had cashed one of the worthless checks." As for Coleman, he had invented his rank. "It was learned that Coleman was no major and that he had found persons willing to cash his checks, it is charged, because of a portly and dignified bearing, which fitted the borrowed title."

The former Hull house had its own criminal tenant. On April 2, 1943 Robert J. Cassidy and three cohorts stole a truck containing $85,00 in liquor in Long Island City. It was a major haul, worth $120,000 today--or it would have been had they not gotten caught. Cassidy pleaded guilty in the Queens County Court on May 17.

On January 13, 1945 The Times reported that Stanley Estates, Inc. had purchased the "rooming house at 23 Riverside Drive." It was quickly converted to apartments, two per floor. The same firm acquired No. 24 and converted it to apartments two years later.

The conversion to apartments did not initially improve the respectability of the buildings' tenants. Thomas Hirsch, who lived in No 23 in 1958, went by the street name "Schoolboy." He was arrested in a drugstore on Broadway and 50th Street on May 9, 1953 charged with bookmaking. The police called him a "known Broadway figure" in illegal gambling.

Martin J. Yamin lived next door in 1955. A former Baltimore judge, the 32-year old was accused of taking part in the hold-up and murder of Joseph Aronowitz on February 15 that year. Aronowitz, who lived on West 83rd Street, was scheduled to testify for the state in a Baltimore hold-up case. But, according to police, he was "taken for a ride" before that could happen. His body was found in an abandoned automobile in Brooklyn.

On April 7 that year The New York Times reported that Stanley Estates, Inc. had sold the "two four-story converted buildings containing nineteen apartments" to Mary Ley and Helen Jambor.

Happily, unflattering press ended around the same time. By the end of the century there were small commercial tenants as well. Birch Music Press was in No. 24 in the early 1970's; and Riverside Books, a publishing firm, was in No. 23 by the early l990's. photographs by the author
