Reference excerpt

Habersham Memorial Hall is a historic building in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The building, named in honor of Joseph Habersham, was designed by Henry Hornbostel to serve as the headquarters for the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The building was constructed between 1922 and 1923 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

History On February 12, 1900, the Joseph Habersham Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was organized at the Georgia Governor's Mansion, with the wife of Georgia Governor Allen D. Candler serving as one of its founders. The chapter, based in Atlanta, was named in honor of Joseph Habersham, a politician from Georgia who had been a soldier in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and served as the United States Postmaster General, among other government positions. On January 14, 1922, the cornerstone for a new headquarters for the chapter was laid, with the building's construction completed the following year. According to the chapter, the building was erected "as a memorial to the Heroes of all Wars in which Georgia has participated." Henry Hornbostel served as the architect for the building, which was designed as a replica of the Bulloch–Habersham House in Savannah, Georgia. In April 1923, the hall hosted the 25th annual state conference of the Georgia Daughters of the American Revolution. On June 7, 1974, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. That same year, a Georgia historical marker was erected near the building.

Architecture The building has a frontage of 200 feet (61 m). The front of the 2 story building features French doors underneath a hexastyle portico directly beneath the gable. The columns of the portico are of the composite order, blending elements of Ionic and Corinthian columns. The windows on the second story feature guard rails made of cast iron. The brick exterior of the building was previously covered with a white stucco that has since been removed, giving the exterior a slight patina. The Bulloch–Habersham House, of which this building is a replica of, was built in the Federal style.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Habersham Memorial Hall

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Habersham Memorial Hall claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Habersham Memorial Hall before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Habersham Memorial Hall ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Habersham Memorial Hall

In research: Habersham Memorial Hall appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Habersham Memorial Hall in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Habersham Memorial Hall is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1922 establishments in Georgia (U.S. state), Buildings and structures completed in 1923, Buildings and structures in Atlanta, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Habersham Memorial Hall outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
