Indaba yangempela yomunye weminyuziyamu encane kunazo zonke zomhlaba
UHenry Clay Frick wayengumuntu ohlonishwa kakhulu eMelika. Wazalelwa entshonalanga yasePennsylvania waya emndenini waseMennonite, wenza uFrick & Company, owaveza i-iron coke, lapho eneminyaka engama-20 kuphela. Ngenkathazo yezezimali ngo-1873, uFrick wathengisa abathengi bakhe futhi wabambisana noCarnegie Steel. Ngesikhathi eneminyaka engama-30, wayengumlandi.
I-Frick yayihlakaniphile futhi igxile ngobuqili phansi. Kungakabiphi emva kokushaqeka kweSikhukhula sikaJohnstown, idumela lakhe elibi laqiniswa kwesinye sezahluko ezimbi kakhulu emlandweni wemisebenzi yaseMelika.
Ngo-1892 ngemuva kwesiteleka esabizwa ku-Homestead Plant ka-Andrew Carnegie, u-Frick waletha ku-Pinkerton Detectives, inkampani yokuphepha yangasese eyasebenza njengezinkampani zokuqasha. Kwaqhamuka impi enzima nabasebenzi abashaya. Ngemva kokulwa okukhulu kwamahora angu-12, abathathu be-Pinkertons nabashayeli abayisikhombisa babulawa.
Yize uCarnegie noFrick babambisana kuzo zonke izinqumo nge-telegraph, uFrick waziwa emaphephandabeni ngokuthi "indoda ehlonishwa kakhulu eMelika". Ngo-23 kuJulayi 1892, i-anarchist ebeka njenge-agent yokuqashwa kwabadlali beziteleka yazama ukubulala uFrick ngesibhamu. Leli qembu libhekene neFrick ehlombe kanye nephhini lika-sheriff, labopha umsolwa owagwetshwa iminyaka engu-22 ejele.
UFrick ubuyele emsebenzini phakathi nesonto futhi waqhubeka nokwandisa i-coke yakhe ne-steel steel iminyaka eyishumi. Walwa noCarnegie ogcine ekuthengiseni amasheya akhe enkampanini ukuthi uFrick uzophatha ngemuva kokuthengwa nguJP Morgan .
Leyo nkampani yaba yi-US Steel.
Ngo-1905, washiya umhlalaphansi eNew York lapho egxila emcimbini wakhe wezobuciko eminyakeni yokugcina yokuphila kwakhe. Ukukwazi ukuthi iqoqo ekugcineni kuyoba yingxenye yomyuziyamu womphakathi, uFrick wayenesifiso esinamandla sokuthuthukisa isithombe sakhe somphakathi futhi asungule ifa elihle, elungisiwe.
Kule minyaka eyishumi yokuqala, uFrick wayehlala eVanderbilt Mansion enhle kakhulu. Ngaphambi kokwakheka kwakhe kwakwakhiwa ekwakheni "Umgudu wezigidi," wayenqotshwa isakhiwo seLenox Library esithandekayo. Kamuva wachitha amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-5 kulolu ndlu ngenhloso yokuthi abe umdwebo wezakhiwo zomphakathi ngemuva kokuba yena nomkakhe bebeshonele. Igoli liwukuthi utshele umakhi wakhe ukuba enze indlu ka-Andrew Carnegie e-91st Street neFifth Avenue ibheke njengesiqephu se-"miner's shack" uma siqhathaniswa.
Ngemuva kokufa kukaFrick ngo-1919, umphakathi wafunda ukuthi indlu izoba umyuziyamu womphakathi. U-Adelaide, umkakhe, wafa ngo-1931. Ngonyaka olandelayo, umsebenzi waqala ukuguqula indlu yasendlini. I-portico ehlanganisiwe yemyuziyamu ekhonza njengendawo yokugcina imyuziyamu namuhla yayihlanganisa kakhulu. Ngaphambi kwalokho, le ndawo yayiyindlela evulekile.
Ngesikhathi i-museum ivuleka ngo-1935, abezindaba nabomphakathi bamangala ngamagugu angavamile okuboniswayo. Abantu base bekhohlwa ngokushesha ngekhono likaFrick elimnandi futhi iqoqo lakhe eliyingqayizivele lobuciko laba yifa lakhe.
Namuhla i-Frick Collection ibhekwa njengenye yeqoqo elihle kakhulu lobuciko emhlabeni. I-Frick yayinombono omkhulu "emncintiswaneni wamakhosi amakhulu" futhi yathola imidwebo emikhulu kaRembrandt, Vermeer, El Greco, Bellini noTerger.
Yize le museum engeyona indlu efriziwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kulula ukucabanga ukuthi uFrick uhlala kule ndlu ekuphakameni kwe-Age Gilded.
