Reynolda and the Reynolds name are synonymous with Winston-Salem N.C. The first thing people think about when they hear the name Reynolds is cigarettes, but R.J. Reynolds, his family and their legacy are much more than just tobacco and cigarettes. The Reynolds name is everywhere and attached to nearly everything in Winston-Salem; there is Reynolda House and museum, Reynolda gardens, Smith Reynolds airport, Babock dormitory at Salem College, Reynolds High School, and Reynolds Auditorium at Wake Forest University just to name a few.

Reynolds himself. I have lived in or around Winston –Salem nearly all my life but have never once researched the Reynolds name or been to Reynolda House. I found the house to be amazing with all the thought and planning that went into its architecture and its functionality as a self-sufficient farm of its day; I for some reason have a hard time thinking that the early 1900s had skilled, intelligent people that could master such a feat. Touring Reynolda House, which is a museum and discussed later in this paper, was an adventure. Not only was the art breathtaking but the house was decorated as it was in R.J’s and Katharine’s era. While researching for this paper, it was easy to place myself back in that era at the beginning of what I am calling the Reynolds’ legacy. The Reynolda House museum is people friendly and a very nice tour in my
I am from a small town called Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania. It is along the Delaware River, about 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Bristol Borough was founded in 1681. This is the states third oldest borough, that was once a busy river port with important shipbuilding activities (Cohen 438). It is predominately residential, with the exception of Mill Street, the community's traditional commercial street. It includes fine examples of many major styles and idioms, reflecting the community's long history and its importance as a transportation and commercial center (Owen 133). The 28-acre Bristol Industrial Historic District includes the original town of Bristol and the residential area that extends northeast along the bank of the Delaware River (Owen 132). The Bristol Industrial Historic District is a significant collection of the factory and mill complexes containing elements dating from 1875-1937 (Owen 133). Among the mills is the Grundy Mill Complex. It is a visual representation of industrial growth of Bristol Borough. This mill was run by Joseph R. Grundy. The dramatic scale of later buildings stand as the source and monument to the wealth and power of Joseph Grundy (Owen 145). Joseph Grundy was the proprietor of the Bristol Worsted Mills, and one of the most prominent manufacturers and businessmen of Bucks County (Green 252). The Bristol Worsted Mills no longer run but the building is still standing. Bristol owes a lot to Joseph R. Grundy for his contributions to the people and the town itself.

Johnson & Johnson, a healthcare company that has dominated its industry for several decades, is currently undergoing managerial upheaval in light of recent blunders amongst its top-tier managers. It has spent years priding itself on appeasing stakeholders and being a safe provider of various pharmaceuticals, but product recalls and subsequent revenue drops have plagued the company as of late. Alex Gorsky spearheads Johnson & Johnson’s revival after previous CEO William Weldon resigned due to missteps. The cause of which stems from misinterpretation of common business ethics through poor leadership and social responsibility that damage the stakeholders.

In the painting “The Mason Children,” we catch a glimpse at an era and style of living now foreign to modern day America. The painting, whose artist is unknown, portrays three young children, an older boy and two younger girls, dressed simply in black and white but with elements of luxury: The boy carries a silver plated cane, and the older of the two girls has a chinese silk fan, as well as a necklace of red beads. This painting, in many ways, is a wonderful representation of life for the early Puritan colonists of New England.
March 30, 1981 was a peaceful day. President Ronald Reagan was walking outside enjoying the fresh air when suddenly shots were fired. Six shots were fired in total, but only one shot hit Reagan due to a bullet that ricocheted. Luckily, Reagan was hit in the abdomen; therefore, he survived. The “mastermind” behind the attempted assassination was a man named John Hinckley. Hinckley believed by going through with this assassination it would be a romantic scenario for himself to confess his undying love for the actress Jodie Foster. Before long it was time for the Hinckley trial and after hearing his side of the story, the jury came to the conclusion that he was crazy. Hinckley was later found not guilty by reason of insanity and admitted to

Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier are two very prominent names in the field of architecture. Both architects had different ideas concerning the relationship between humans and the environment. Their architectural styles were a reflection of how each could facilitate the person and the physical environment. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture and Le Corbusier s Villa Savoye helped define the progression that modern architecture was to take in the 20th Century. Both men are very fascinating and have strongly influenced my personal taste for modern architecture. Although Wright and Corbusier each had different views on how to design a house, they also had similar beliefs. This paper is a comparison of Frank Lloyd Wright‘s and Le Corbusier ‘s viewpoints exhibited through their two prominent houses, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House and Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye.
