The SYRACUSE, NEW YORK PORTAL Culture | Education | Ethnic groups | History | Neighborhoods | Parks | People | Sports | Transportation Template:/box-header Template:/Intro Template:/box-footer The Everson Museum of Art, in Downtown Syracuse, New York, is a major Central New York museum focusing on American art. The museum was founded in 1897 by art historian George Fisk Comfort (who also helped found the Metropolitan Museum of Art); at that time, it was called the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts. In 1911, it announced that it would seek to collect only American art. Over time the museum occupied several different buildings, including the Onondaga Savings Bank and the Syracuse Public Library, but it outgrew each facility. Frank J. "Buck" O'Neill (March 6, 1875 – April 21, 1958) was an American football player, coach and lawyer. A star athlete at Williams College, in 1902 O'Neill resurrected the Syracuse Athletic Club, to take part in the 1902 World Series of Football, held at Madison Square Garden. Syracuse A.C. defeated the "New York" team in what has been called the first indoor professional football game; Syracuse won the Series with a 36–0 victory over the Orange Athletic Club. After serving a couple of stints as head coach at rival Colgate University (1902, 1904–1905), O'Neill coached the Syracuse University Orangemen from 1906–1907, 1913–1915, and 1917–1919. In his final three years at Syracuse, he acted more as an advisor than a full-time coach. Even with this arrangement, he was successful including in 1919 when the Orangemen gave Pittsburgh their first loss in five years. His cumulative record at Syracuse was 52–9–6. O'Neill was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1951. The Temple Society of Concord's classical-style synagogue at the corner of Madison Street and University Avenue, Syracuse, was designed by Alfred Taylor, a Syracuse-based architect, and Arnold W. Brunner, a consulting architect based in New York City. The building's cornerstone was laid on September 19, 1910; and it was dedicated in September 23, 1911. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 27, 2009.
