Hall of Fame for Great Americans
The Hall of Fame for Great Americans is an outdoor sculpture gallery, located on the grounds of Bronx Community College in the Bronx, New York City. Completed in 1900 as part of the University Heights campus of New York University,〔University Heights was New York University's main campus from 1894 to 1973.〕 the 630-foot (192 m) stone colonnade half-encircles the university library and houses 98 bronze portrait busts.〔(Bronx Community College )〕 Designed by architect Stanford White (who also designed the library), the Beaux Arts structure was donated by Helen Gould, and was formally dedicated on May 30, 1901.〔According to Rubin (1997, p.14), her gift was $US2,000.000〕
New York University (under severe financial distress) was forced to sell the campus in 1973 to the City University of New York and it became Bronx Community College. Though the Hall's renown has itself faded, its architecture remains, and it stands as a secular national shrine not just to great men and women, but to Roman ideals of fame favored at the beginning of the 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dan Ackman, "Fames's Fortune" )〕
