Ottawa's most popular show place
Reddick Mansion and Gardens的点评
点评：Before the Civil War, it is said that there was no grander house in Illinois than the Reddick Mansion in Ottawa. As a historian of sorts, who loves to visit old mansions or plantations that date to the antebellum period or Gilded Age, it figures that one day I'd find my way to this magnificent venue. Built between 1855 and 1858 by businessman and politician William Reddick, the 22-room Italianate mansion was the most expensive and ornate private home built in Illinois before the Civil War. Located at 100 West Lafayette Street, at Columbus Street, the historically important and architecturally unique house anchors Washington Square, the site of the first Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Take a step back into the 19th century and tour this beautiful house, which once served as Ottawa's Public Library, and has been restored to its previous splendor. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property covers over a half-acre. With its beautiful landscaping and gardens, the grounds serve as a Victorian oasis in downtown Ottawa. Reddick Mansion is most famous for its projected eaves and cornices, low roofs, quoins and pediment capped windows. The main entrance steps and balconies on the south face were used as a platform for citizens to view the first Lincoln-Douglas Debate. A large-scale, 18-month-long restoration was undertaken in 1919 to repair the east and south balconies, 94 antique windows, wood sashes, cornices, doors, interior trim, decorative plaster and original woodwork. A firm believer in the importance of a good eduction, Reddick willed his home to the public to be used as a "free reading room." After his death in 1885, the Reddick Mansion was known as the Reddick Library from 1888 to 1975..
翻译：据说，在南北战争之前，伊利诺伊州没有比渥太华的雷迪克大厦更宏伟的宅邸了。作为一名历史爱好者，我喜欢参观那些可以追溯到战前时期或镀金时代的古老宅邸或种植园，所以有一天能亲眼目睹这座宏伟的建筑，也算是顺理成章了。这座拥有22个房间的意大利式豪宅由商人兼政治家威廉·雷迪克于1855年至1858年间建造，是南北战争前伊利诺伊州最昂贵、最华丽的私人住宅。它位于西拉斐特街100号（哥伦布街路口），这座具有重要历史意义且建筑风格独特的宅邸坐落在华盛顿广场的中心地带，而华盛顿广场正是林肯-道格拉斯第一次辩论的举办地。让我们一起穿越回19世纪，参观这座美丽的宅邸。它曾是渥太华公共图书馆，如今已被修复，重现昔日辉煌。这座占地超过半英亩的宅邸已被列入国家史迹名录。雷迪克大厦拥有优美的园林景观，宛如渥太华市中心的一片维多利亚式绿洲。大厦最著名的特色是其突出的屋檐和檐口、低矮的屋顶、隅石以及带有山花的窗户。主入口的台阶和南侧的阳台曾是市民观看林肯-道格拉斯辩论的平台。1919年，大厦进行了一项为期18个月的大规模修复工程，修复了东侧和南侧的阳台、94扇古董窗户、木框、檐口、门、室内装饰、装饰石膏和原有的木工制品。雷迪克坚信良好教育的重要性，他将自己的住宅遗赠给公众，用作“免费阅览室”。1885年他去世后，雷迪克大厦于1888年至1975年间被称为雷迪克图书馆。
