“Ollie” at Maclay Gardens State Park: Tallahassee, Florida
Image by State Library and Archives of Florida
Local call number: COM00727
Corporate Author: Florida. Division of Tourism.
Title: "Ollie" at Maclay Gardens State Park : Tallahassee, Florida. [graphic]
Date: 19–.
Physical descrip: 1 slide : col.
Series Title: (Department of Commerce collection.)
General Note: Killearn Gardens (later Maclay Gardens) were planted and designed by Alfred Barmore Maclay starting in 1923. Maclay featured camellias as the "backbone" of the gardens design, but also included hundreds of other flowers. The name "Killearn" came from a village in Scotland where Mr. Maclay’s great-grandfather, the Reverend Archibald Maclay was born. Maclay died in 1944, and two years later his wife made the gardens public. In April 1953, Mrs. Alfred B. Maclay and children gave the 307-acres Killearn Gardens (including the Mackay house) to the Florida Board of Parks and Historic Memorials as a memorial to Alfred Barmore Maclay.
The Maclay House and most of the associated buildings were constructed circa 1906 to 1909, when the land was used as a hunting plantation. In 1965, the park was renamed Maclay Gardens. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. In 2002, it was also listed as the Killearn Plantation Archeological and Historic District.

Jordan and the Promised Land
Image by Oregon State University Archives
Image Title: Jordan and the Promised Land
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "The Jordan rises west of Mt. Hermon and after spreading out into Lake Mermon and the sea of Galilee, discharges its waters into the Dead Sea, 1292 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. From Lake Mermon to the Dead Sea, which has no outlet and is a body of salt water, the course of the Jordon is below sea level. The Valley of the Jordon the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee occupy a portion of the long narrow depression in the surface of the earth. At the east and west margins of the depression there are great fissures of breaks in the rocks and the land between these fissures has fallen or been drawn in toward the center of the earth.
The Jordon varies in width from 30 to 70 yards, but in January and February it over flows its banks and is from a half-mile to two miles wide. The soil in the valley is very rich except near the Dead Sea. In Mid-winter the landscape is green with grass and bright with flowers, but in summer it has the general appearance of a desert."

Image Title: Rio De Janeiro – View of the City Built on a Dozen Hills
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Population, 1,442,000. Rio de Janeiro, the capital with over a million people, is the second largest in South America. Buenos Aires is the largest. Rio is located on the most beautiful harbor in the world, where the largest vessels may anchor safely. This is a place where the land sank and let the ocean waters come in. Over a hundred little islands in the harbor are hills or low mountains with only their tops out of water. The city of Rio de Janeiro is built on narrow plains between the hills. In the older part, which is the business district, the streets are narrow. In the newer part there are wide avenues bordered by rows of beautiful palms, feathery bamboos, and tree ferns. The homes in this part of hte city are modern, and many of them are set in gardens of flowering tropical plants."

Elizabeth Dunwoody, 1975
Image by LSE Library
School Housekeeper 1946-1975
‘Miss Elizabeth Dunwoody came to the School as housekeeper in October 1946. She was educated at the Portsmouth High School for Girls and what was then known as Kings’s College of Household and Social Science (now Queen Elizabeth College) where she trained in Institutional management. There followed a period of wide experience in hospital catering, at Whitelands Teachers’ Training College and as Assistant Domestic Superintendent at the School of Agriculture, Durham County Council. She came to the School at an interesting time in its post-war rehabilitation. Initially there was the enormous task of helping to refurbish the School buildings after the war time occupants had left. Later the School acquired additional premises in and around Houghton Street and there are few of them which have not benefitted from Miss Dunwoody’s touch in soft furnishings and flower decorations…Before the establishment of the Student Health Service, Miss Dunwoody also dealt with emergency medical conditions in the absence of the School nurse…’ LSE Magazine, June 1975, No:49, p.14
