Banning House Research Paper

Should Our Tax Dollar Fund the Banning Museum? The Banning House was built in 1864 by Phinease Banning. The house orginially had 30 rooms and later renovated to 23 rooms. The house is built with the example of domestic Greek Revival architecture and Victorian beauty. It housed 3 generation of the Banning family, and was acquired by the City of Los Angeles in 1927. The house represented Phinease Banning 's believes in the future of his community. He was called " th Father of the Port of los Angeles". Phinease Banning seek great opportunity in stage coaching as well as other transportation sysytem. He was an ambitious man foreseeing the possible success in railroards and sea ports. His contribution to the development of the city of Wilmington (in honor of his birth city) is greatly reconized and honoredToday the Banning House is a historical icon with thousands of visitors annual. Many schools has brought student there for field trips. Students are able to learn about events and daily life activities during the late 1860 's. The Muesum managed by the Department of Recreatiion and Parks along with a private non profit organization, Friends of Banning Mueseum. California has 144 National historical landarks. National Historic Landmarks are nationally
But I believe it would be a greater shame if students education get shortened, or our elderly cannot get medical assistance. I applaud the Friends of Banning for raising funds to keep the museum running. I appreciate all the sponsors, donators, and volunteers for the physical and financial support. If I have the financial ability I would personally help fund it too. Unfortunately, I and many others have other financial obligation to meet. In due respect I hope this museum continues running without the use of tax dollar. I hope there are other means such as private contribution and charity community to continue the Landmark 's
