Fotos u. a. - Familie Heinrich A. Schmid

6 Items

Vom 1. Weltkrieg betroffen waren meine Großeltern, sowie meine Mutter und ihre zwei Geschwister. Mein Großvater Heinrich Adolf Schmid (geb. 1.5.1887 in Kuchen) war Glasschleifer in der WMF. Er war Uff. im Württ. Inf.-Rgt. Nr. 127/Ulm und Träger des Eisernen Kreuzes 2. Klasse. Er fiel, von einer Granate tödlich getroffen, am 30.8.1918 in Renoy/Frankreich. Heinrich Adolf Schmid war mit Maria Anna Schmid, geb. Rapp (29.1.1890-27.2.1919), verheiratet (meiner Großmutter mütterlicherseits), die 1919 an der Grippe und Herzeleid in Geislingen/Altenstadt starb. Aus dieser Ehe stammten 3 Kinder: Meine Mutter Marta Maria (geb. 1911), meine Tante Maria Emilie Elisabeth (geb. 1912) und mein Onkel Heinrich Johannes Schmid (geb. 1915). Nach dem Tod der Eltern wurden die Kinder von meiner Urgroßmutter Elisabeth Rapp und meiner Großtante sowie deren Mann in Geislingen aufgezogen. Ein Kommerzienrat der Firma WMF übernahm die Patenschaft für die Kinder. Eine zu herzengehende Traueranzeige erschien in der Geislinger Zeitung Anfang September 1918 für meinen Großvater. Mir (Lieselotte Schneider) wurde erzählt, dass er ein ausgezeichneter Sportler war, der am Reck für den Turnverein Altenstadt (Geislingen) verschiedene Preise holte. - Vielleicht wird hiermit die Erinnerung an meinen Großvater mütterlicherseits und seine Frau wachgehalten, die ich nie kennenlernen durfte. - Zum Anhang: Fotografien von Heinrich Adolf Schmid & Familie, Briefbeschwerer Eisernes Kreuz und Vita.

Elevation of Ballast Office, Aston’s Quay and Westmoreland Street by Henry A. Baker.

1 Item

This is the second design by Henry A. Baker for the building at the corner of Westmoreland St. and Aston Quay, which subsequently became the Ballast Office. The first design was executed in 1799 as one of a number of elevations for the building on the south side of the river, facing Carlisle Bridge. (See WSC/Maps/160). That first design was for a five-storey building, nine bays wide, with plain fenestration in all upper storeys. A range of shops, with rectangular windows and separate business and residential entrances, was provided at ground level, with space for a colonnade leading into Westmoreland St. The second design is for a five-storey building, which is six bays wide, with plain fenestration in the upper storeys except for the addition of architraves above the windows on the first floor. Once more, there is a range of shops at ground level, but this time the colonnade has been omitted. Pilastered door cases have been added, with an ornamental frieze above, to correspond to the final design which had been approved for the west side of Westmoreland St. (See WSC/Maps/195/2). This design was approved by the Commission in July 1800 and the Ballast Office was completed in 1802. It was extended and re-modelled during the 1860’s and was demolished in 1979. The modern office block which replaced it has a replica façade based on this design by Baker. Scale: 5’ : 1” Size: 16 ½ “ x 16 ½ “ - 42 ½ cms x 42 ½ cms Paper (1 sheet, no watermark); ink; watercolours
