Historia de la familia Phipps: Los Phipps en Allegheny City<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

La popularidad de las producciones televisivas y cinematogr\u00e1ficas de Downton Abbey<\/em> y La Edad Dorada<\/em> Han despertado un renovado inter\u00e9s en el estilo de vida de familias como los Phipps durante la Edad Dorada (c. 1870-1900) y la \u00e9poca eduardiana (1907-1914). Para muchos, visitar casas hist\u00f3ricas de esas \u00e9pocas ofrece la oportunidad de experimentar ese estilo de vida, aunque de forma limitada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

La Casa Westbury y sus jardines circundantes fueron concebidos y construidos durante esta \u00faltima \u00e9poca (la construcci\u00f3n comenz\u00f3 en 1905). Quienes visiten los Jardines Old Westbury podr\u00e1n apreciar el mundo de la \u00e9poca eduardiana tal como se manifest\u00f3 en Estados Unidos, especialmente en Long Island. Lamentablemente, las casas de la familia Phipps de la \u00e9poca anterior ya no existen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de su llegada a los Estados Unidos en 1832 y tras una breve estancia en el sur de Nueva Jersey y Filadelfia, Henry Sr. y Hannah \u201cAnna\u201d (de soltera Frank) hicieron de Allegheny City, Pensilvania, el hogar para sus cuatro hijos, entre ellos Henry Jr., el padre de John \u201cJay\u201d Phipps, el propietario de Westbury House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los visitantes de Old Westbury Gardens y aquellos familiarizados con D\u00edas felices<\/em>, el libro que narra la biograf\u00eda familiar, conoce la amistad y las conexiones comerciales entre Henry Jr. y sus amigos de la infancia, Andrew y Tom Carnegie, quienes viv\u00edan a pocas casas de distancia, en la calle Rebecca, en Allegheny City. A medida que la carrera empresarial de Henry Jr. prosperaba, se mud\u00f3 de la estrecha zona industrial de la calle Rebecca a los barrios de clase media y alta de las avenidas North y Ridge, m\u00e1s cerca de parques y espacios abiertos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Durante la Edad Dorada, Allegheny City era una ciudad de millonarios y una de las ciudades con mayor concentraci\u00f3n de riqueza en Estados Unidos. En 1892, 44 millonarios viv\u00edan en Allegheny City, mientras que Pittsburgh solo pod\u00eda presumir de tener 35. Los hogares de la mayor\u00eda de estas familias se encontraban en una zona llamada Allegheny West, ahora un... distrito hist\u00f3rico<\/a>, en Ridge Avenue, con la esquina de Ridge y Galveston como el sitio de la mansi\u00f3n m\u00e1s grande, la Casa Byers-Lyon<\/a>, construida entre 1896 y 1898.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allegheny City, ahora conocida como la Zona Norte de Pittsburgh, era el municipio ubicado al norte de Pittsburgh, cruzando el r\u00edo Allegheny. Su historia es poco conocida fuera del oeste de Pensilvania, sobre todo tras su anexi\u00f3n a su vecino del sur, Pittsburgh, en un controvertido refer\u00e9ndum de 1907. A pesar de su menor tama\u00f1o, tanto en poblaci\u00f3n como en geograf\u00eda, Allegheny City y sus ciudadanos no eran en absoluto inferiores a Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

A pocas cuadras al oeste, en la esquina de las avenidas Irwin (hoy Brighton) y Ridge, se encontraba la \u00faltima residencia en Allegheny City de Henry Jr. y Anna (de soltera Shaffer) y sus cuatro hijos, incluyendo a Jay. La casa fue finalmente demolida y en 1908 BF Jones, quien, al igual que Jay, era heredero de una empresa sider\u00fargica, la Jones and Laughlin Steel Company, construy\u00f3 all\u00ed una mansi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La imagen que acompa\u00f1a es de 1890. Libro de planos de bienes ra\u00edces de GM Hopkins & Co.<\/a>El lote figura como propiedad de AC Phipps, lo cual es incorrecto, ya que pertenec\u00eda a la esposa de Henry, Anna Shaffer Phipps. La nota a l\u00e1piz indica que el posterior propietario de la parcela fue BF Jones. La preferencia de los empresarios adinerados por vivir en grandes casas ubicadas en grandes parcelas fuera de las ciudades apenas comenzaba (cf. Clayton<\/a>, la residencia Henry Clay Frick).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Se necesita m\u00e1s investigaci\u00f3n para explorar la vida familiar en la casa de Ridge Avenue (Brighton). Los art\u00edculos period\u00edsticos mencionan esta residencia de la familia Phipps a lo largo de la d\u00e9cada de 1880 (el censo estadounidense de la d\u00e9cada de 1880 indica que la familia viv\u00eda en el n\u00famero 131 de North Avenue, un barrio de clase media ubicado justo al norte del centro de Allegheny City). Fue durante esta d\u00e9cada, la de 1880, cuando Henry y Anna dejaron huella en los c\u00edrculos empresariales y culturales de Allegheny City y Pittsburgh, culminando con el regalo de Henry a la ciudad de su infancia del Conservatorio Phipps original, ahora sede del... Aviario Nacional<\/a>, como recurso cultural y respiro para las familias trabajadoras de la ciudad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A principios y mediados de la d\u00e9cada de 1890, coincidiendo con su semiretiro, Henry Jr. y Anna comenzar\u00edan a viajar por el mundo y a alquilar propiedades en Inglaterra como residencias temporales hasta que compraron un inmueble en la Quinta Avenida de la ciudad de Nueva York, en 1902-03, para construir una casa m\u00e1s permanente.
