Historic Wesleyan Hall, one of the most familiar sites in Northwest Alabama, was used by both Union and Confederate armies during the U.S. Civil War. The 130-year-old Wesleyan Bell (foreground) tolled frequently throughout the late 19th century summoning Florence Normal School students to class.

Wesleyan Hall, constructed in 1856, is one of the oldest structures on the University of North Alabama campus, located in Florence, Alabama.

History

With its distinctive towers, Wesleyan Hall also is considered one of the most eminent landmarks in North Alabama. The Gothic Revival structure was designed to serve LaGrange College when this Methodist institution relocated from Franklin to Lauderdale county and subsequently was renamed and rechartered as Florence Wesleyan University.

In 1856, the year the structure was completed, a President’s Report showed an enrollment of 180 students. The fledgling university peaked at 225 students in the early 1860s, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War.

During the war, Wesleyan Hall was occupied by both Union and Confederate armies.

General William Tecumseh Sherman is considered the most famous Union officer to occupy Wesleyan Hall during the Civil War.

General William Tecumseh Sherman is considered the most famous Union occupant of Wesleyan Hall during the war. In late 1864, shortly before his ill-fated involvement in the battles of Franklin and Nashville, Confederate General John Bell Hood occupied the building. The surrounding grounds were occupied by his troops and served as a meeting place for military personnel and townspeople for parties, dances and concerts. Confederate Generals Pierre G.T. Beauregard and Stephen D. Lee also occupied the adjoining grounds during the war and also may have used Wesleyan Hall as their headquarters.

Following the war, Dr. Septimus Rice was the University’s sole instructor, teaching classes in the Preparatory School and holding college-level courses in Wesleyan Hall. Despite a prolonged effort by the new Wesleyan University president, Dr. William H. Anderson, the institution continued to founder, and in 1871, the doors of Wesleyan Hall were closed.

Recognizing the need for trained teachers in the post-war South, the Methodist Episcopal Church turned over Wesleyan Hall and the surrounding twelve-acre grounds to the state of Alabama, which then chartered it as a state normal school.

During this period, the halls of Wesleyan remained unheated, so stoves were used to warm classrooms, while coal oil lamps were employed for lighting. Because of the initially small enrollment, the upper floors were used as dormitories.

A dilapidated white-washed board fence stood along the perimeter of the Wesleyan grounds to prevent livestock owned by nearby townspeople from wandering onto campus. On the south side of the structure in a similar state of disrepair stood a number of old stables used to quarter horses of local country boys attending the school. A large cistern in the rear of the Wesleyan supplied the school’s water supply.

At the turn of the 20th century, the 45-year-old structure remained the only building owned by the school. The exterior of the building had changed little since its construction in 1856, bearing the same castle-like towers, battlements and top-floor observatory. Likewise, the campus adjoining Wesleyan encompassed only the original 12 acres.

A three-story building finally was added in 1909 to accommodate increased enrollment and became known as Wesleyan Annex.

Today

Now part of the 130-acre (0.53 km²) University of North Alabama campus, Wesleyan Hall currently contains the office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences, as well as of the departments of Geography, Psychology, and Foreign Languages. It also houses the Geographic Research Center, a cartography lab, and a language lab.

The Department of Military Science is located in Wesleyan Annex.

Wesleyan also houses personal effects and mementoes of former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice and U.S. Senator Howell Heflin, a native of nearby Tuscumbia. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Wesleyan Bell and Tower

Adjacent to Wesleyan Hall in a specially constructed tower is the Wesleyan Bell, which tolled regularly throughout the last quarter of the 19th century to summon Florence Normal School students to class. Sometime around 1910, the bell was removed from Wesleyan Hall and stored. Rediscovered after the passage of almost a century in 2002, the 130-year-old Wesleyan Bell finally was restored to a prominent place on campus following construction of the Smith Bell Tower in 2004.

Godfather’s Pizza is an Italian restaurant chain that was founded in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1973 by William Theisen. The company was sold by Theisen to Pillsbury in the mid 1980s and Theisen stepped down from actively managing the company. In 1986, Pillsbury named Herman Cain, who had turned around the fortunes of their struggling Burger King chain of restaurants, CEO and President of the brand and subsequently hundreds of Godfather’s restaurants were shuttered. Cain in turn led a group to purchase the Godfathers brand from Pillsbury, which they did by the beginning of 1990. Cain stepped down from his CEO and President position in the company in 2002.

The restaurants serve a wide variety of pizzas and have an inexpensive salad bar and buffet. The chain is also known for their commercials featuring “The Godfather,” a knock-off of the Marlon Brando character from the film The Godfather. “The Godfather” has been played by different actors, but typically wears a white fedora hat, a pin-stripe suit and a flower on his jacket. He also uses the sayings “A pizza you CAN’T refuse!”, “Do It!” and “I know your neighborhood.”

Bill Koll was the original Godfather. During those years his commercials were where the phrase, “Do it!” came from.

Elizabeth Swados (born 1951) is an American writer, composer, musician, and theatre director. While some of her subject matter is humorous, such as her satirical look at Ronald Reagan, Rap Master Ronnie, and Doonesbury - both collaborations with Garry Trudeau - much of her work deals with dark issues such as racism, murder, and mental illness.

Personal life

Born in Buffalo, New York, Swados has been open about her turbulent life in her autobiography The Four of Us, A Family Memoir published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1991. Her father Robert was a very successful attorney who helped Seymour H. Knox III convert the local Buffalo Sabres hockey club into a full National Hockey League team. (His autobiography, Counsel in the Crease: A Big League Player in the Hockey Wars was published by Prometheus Books in 2005.) Her actress mother struggled with depression, while her older brother (and only sibling) Lincoln developed schizophrenia. Her mother committed suicide in 1974, and Lincoln followed suit in 1989. Swados herself has suffered from depression from childhood on, a condition she explored in her book My Depression: A Picture Book.

Swados studied music at Bennington College in Vermont, receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1973. In 1980, the Hobart and William Smith College awarded her an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters.

Professional life

Although many of Swados’ plays are musicals, her compositions draw from folk and world music genres rather than from standard musical theatre. Her first major success, Runaways, was intended to be a community service piece with a short run. However, after appearing at The Public Theater, it transferred to Broadway and became a hit. It garnered her Tony Award nominations for Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Choreography. She was nominated for Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Director of a Musical, Outstanding Lyrics, and Outstanding Music, and won an Obie Award for her direction.

As a composer, Swados has also written music for film (Four Friends) and television, and has performed at Carnegie Hall. She has published three novels, three non-fiction books, and nine children’s books. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Ford Fellowship, a Covenant Foundation Grant, a Special International PEN Citation, a Cine Award, and a Mira Award, among others.

Swados teaches in the drama department at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Her most recent books are My Depression, Sidney’s Animal Rescue, and At Play: Teaching Teenagers Theater. Her articles have been published in the New York Times, New York Times Magazine, Vogue, and O. She also has collaborated on film scripts with Milos Forman, Marlon Brando, and Sean Penn.

Recreational trawlers are pleasure boats which resemble commercial trawlers. They can also be called cruising trawlers or trawler yachts. Within the category, however, are many types and styles of vessels. A commercial trawler for example, always has a displacement hull for load-carrying capacity. Recreational trawlers, on the other hand, are as likely to have a semi-displacement hull. However, with the rising cost of fuel and the lower fuel consumption (though also lower speed) offered by displacement hulls, they are gaining popularity among some buyers. These displacement models typically have a cruising speed of 7-9 knots depending on the boat length. Their maximum speed is often no more than 10-12 knots, whereas semi-displacement hulls can attain 14-20 knots. Recreational trawlers are also subject to fashion. For example many USA production recreational trawlers have a style which includes features such as raised pilothouse or offset deckhouse. Trawlers are most often offered in lengths ranging from 35 to 60 feet long. Most are built for long term cruising of regional and worldwide destinations. Combined with large fuel tanks they can cruise far before needing to be refuelled. They can be home for between 2 to 8 persons for many days and can be a permanent home.

Usually trawlers have a single engine, though twin engine installations are also available from some builders. They have a large fuel capacity. Fuel range is normally 1,500-3,000 miles on smaller vessels, even greater for those over 45ft in length. When combined with the slower speeds of a displacement hull, these features give such vessels far greater range and economy than similarly sized planing boats. A large engine room under the main cabin is another feature of true cruising trawlers. Most also include a diesel generator of 5-20kW to power domestic appliances, bow thrusters, dinghy cranes, and similar equipment.

In the United States recreational trawlers are catered for by over 70 builders and manufacturers, and the PassageMaker Magazine.
