Ben Cockerham (born 1980) co-founded royalty processing companies RightsFlow and Source3, both known for simplifying the complex process of U.S. copyright compliance. Cockerham also is a composer, arranger and musician in musical groups out of Brooklyn, NY. |
Entrepreneur. |
Cockerham holds a Bachelor's from Baylor University in music composition, and a graduate degree from New York University's Music Business (MUBG-MA) – Master of Arts Program. While at NYU, he worked at digital music service eMusic where he met colleague Patrick Sullivan. They later joined The Orchard working for founders Richard Gottehrer and Scott Cohen, to implement innovative global licensing, revenue and marketing opportunities for musicians and labels. Cockerham also managed day-to-day music licensing for film, TV advertising, and royalties collections. In 2006, he co-produced Hard Rock International's "SERVE2" project – a compilation album featuring previously unreleased tracks from Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Joss Stone and other influential artists – to benefit WhyHunger, distributed through The Orchard via iTunes. |
In 2007, Cockerham and Sullivan parlayed their first-hand knowledge for simplifying the complex process of U.S. copyright compliance to found RighstFlow, also providing support for online entities including Muzak, The Orchard, CD Baby, and DiskMakers. Google acquired RightsFlow in 2011 to streamline music royalties processes for its YouTube platform. |
In 2014, Cockerham and Sullivan, together with YouTube's Scott Sellwood, formed a startup called Source3 as a 3D printing rights management company that expanded into recognition technology for intellectual property, trademarks and copyright. In June 2017, Facebook acquired Source3 to fight piracy of illegally-shared content, and to support the development of Facebook's Rights Manager tool. |
Bandleader. |
While attending NYU, Cockerham began establishing himself as a composer for film, television, and video games with fellow graduate student Nathan Madsen, and formed his own indie rock band, Sublunar Minds, after placing a Craigslist ad and auditioning trumpeter/harmonica player Frank Vigilante, also a key grip for major music videos and film. Cockerham fronts the band on vocals and guitar, as heard on the 2009 LP "Get Hit in Your Soul", and 2012 EP "The Last of the Natural Light". |
Cockerham met classically trained percussionist Britton Matthews, also a native Texan with a music degree from Baylor University in NYC in 2004 through Facebook. They married in 2007 and formed singer-songwriter folk-pop duo The New Benjamin Britton, with Matthews on vibes and marimba and Cockerham on a Novax 8-string guitar, the same model created for the jazz funk guitarist Charlie Hunter. They toured in 2012 with Drunken Barn Dance, an alt-folk band helmed by attorney/musician Scott Sellwood and released an all-original album "Raise A Glass Broken Land" in 2013. |
Later that year Cockerham debuted an EP of instrumental jazz recordings as bandleader, pianist, composer, and arranger of his 9-piece troupe Savoy in Color, titled "The World You’re in Is Perfect", heavily influenced by the Gil Evans-Miles Davis collaborations of the 1950s & '60s. The group began to perform publicly in NYC in 2014, and features session horn players Joe Ancowitz and Geoff Countryman who also appeared on Ghostface Killah's 2014 album "36 Seasons". |

Fortitude Valley Methodist Church and Hall are a heritage-listed former church and its hall (the second church on the site) at 116-120 Brookes Street, Fortitude Valley, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The first church (and later hall) was designed by James Cowlishaw and built from 1870 to 1871 by Thomas Reading. The third church was designed by George Simkin and built from 1887 to 1888 by Blair Cunningham. They are also known as Fortitude Valley Wesleyan Church & Church Hall, Gregory Place, Gregory Hall, and Epworth Centre. They were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. |
History. |
The former Fortitude Valley Wesleyan Church and Church Hall were erected in 1887-88 and 1870-71 respectively, on a site in Ann Street granted to the Wesleyan Church by the Crown in 1861. The site fronted what was then known as the Eagle Farm Road (later Ann Street), and included allotments for a church, school and parsonage. |
The first Fortitude Valley Wesleyan Church had been erected on another site in Ann Street in 1856. At that time, Fortitude Valley was part of the Brisbane Circuit. |
In 1867, the Brisbane Circuit was divided into two: the Valley and Albert Street. The new Valley Circuit was a large one, embracing Eagle Farm, Nundah and Sandgate, and was centred on the small Ann Street church. |
In 1870-71, a larger church, which could seat 400 persons, was built on the 1861 land grant, fronting Ann Street. It was the first church to be erected in the new Valley Circuit. The foundation stone was laid on 31 October 1870, and the opening service was held on 26 March 1871. It was designed by Brisbane architect James Cowlishaw and erected by contractor Thomas Reading at a cost of approximately . At the time, the brick building with its slate roof was one of the most substantial churches in Brisbane. |
Also in 1871, a small timber parsonage was constructed at the rear of the church. This building was replaced in 1885 by a larger parsonage, Epworth, at 53 Brookes Street. The original parsonage is no longer extant. |
In the 1880s, the Valley developed as a major retail and residential centre, and Brisbane's northern suburbs expanded as the large estates of the 1860s and 1870s were subdivided. The Valley Wesleyan congregation expanded also, and the decision was taken in 1886 to erect a larger church adjacent to the 1870-71 building, but facing Brookes Street, on the same land grant. The new church was designed by Brisbane architect George Simkin in 1887 and constructed by contractor Blair Cunningham in 1887-88. The final cost of the building, including furniture and fittings, was . The foundation stone was laid on 20 August 1887, and the opening service was held on 13 January 1889. |
The stained glass windows were imported from Munich. The organ, now removed, was commenced in Brisbane by Edward Wauldron in 1887 and completed by Thomas Christmas in 1889. Christmas, who arrived in Brisbane from Melbourne in 1877, was a musical instrument dealer and piano and organ builder, and is credited with having constructed most of the locally-made organs in Queensland by 1888. |
The vestries were part of in the initial design, but appear to have been added at a later date. The glass windows in these rooms were supplied by Exton & Gough of Brisbane. |
After the new church was built, the old church was used as the church hall. |
The new Valley Wesleyan Church enhanced the status of Methodism in Brisbane. For a short time prior to the new Albert Street Wesleyan Church (Albert Street Uniting Church), erected in 1888-89, gaining prominence, the new Valley church was the leading Wesleyan church in the city. |
The Valley Wesleyan Church has been described as a "Mother of Churches". From here, many Northern Brisbane suburban churches were opened, from Windsor to North Pine and Sandgate, which ultimately became centres of new circuits. |
Following the 1898 unification of Queensland's various Methodist groups - Wesleyans, Primitive Methodists, Bible Christians, and United Free Methodists - the Brookes Street church became known as the Fortitude Valley Methodist Church. |
Following the establishment of the Uniting Church in 1977, the Fortitude Valley Methodist Church and Church Hall were closed, with the final service, revoking their status as sacred buildings, conducted on 27 February 1977. The secular buildings were renamed the Epworth Centre; the former church was leased to the TN! Theatre Company to use for performances with the Valley Child Care Centre operating from the hall. In 1985 the buildings were sold to the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia Queensland Incorporated, and renamed Gregory Place and Gregory Hall, in honour of former Queensland explorer and surveyor-general, Sir Augustus Charles Gregory. Both buildings were refurbished as offices, with the headquarters of the Royal Geographical Society located in the 1871 building (Gregory Hall). Later, the Royal Geographical Society relocated to Milton. In 2015, the church is occupied by a furniture company. |
Description. |
The Fortitude Valley Methodist Church (1888) and Hall (1871) are two Gothic-influenced red-brick and cement-render former churches. The buildings sit at right angles to each other; Gregory Place fronts Brookes Street, while Gregory Hall runs parallel to the street. The buildings are complementary in form, detail and materials, although the 1888 church is more elaborately ornamented. The buildings sit within and contribute to both a late nineteenth century streetscape and a precinct of Gothic influenced church buildings. |
The modest 1871 building is a simple hall with buttressed brick walls and a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof. It has single triangular head lancet windows between buttresses to the side walls. The south-eastern elevation, formerly the "front" elevation to Ann Street, has a central pointed arch entrance, flanked by paired lancets, with a group of three lancets to the pinnacle of the gable. The north-western elevation has two pointed arched entrances and a group of three lancets. |
The ornamentation of openings and wall surfaces is also modest but fine: the windows have slightly projecting corbelled triangular heads; the end gables have brick pointed arch courses above the grouped windows; the windows sills, buttress copings and plinth are picked out in cement render, and diagonal brick end courses decorate the sills, cornice and plinth. |
The interior of the 1871 building is painted brick, spanned by timber hammerbeam trusses landing on impost blocks. The ceiling is timber-lined with exposed rafters, and is finished with a band of diagonally laid brick ends. The windows are diamond-glazed. The refurbishment of the interior has included an extensive timber mezzanine, with beams which abut existing walls, exposed air conditioning ducts, new toilets and a kitchen. |
The 1888 building is also essentially a simple hall, embellished with parapeted gables with turrets at the ends, and rich decoration of openings and wall surfaces. It has a steeply pitched concrete tiled roof, with an octagonal spire springing from the ridge. A gabled annex is attached to the rear. |
The building has buttressed walls, pointed arched tracery windows, and rosette windows to the gable ends. The street elevation has a recessed entry with floriated colonnettes surmounted by a large tracery window and small lancet windows. The building is decorated with white cement render to copings, cornices and window surrounds; it also has stone hood mouldings, beige brick voussoirs, a dado with quatrefoil motifs and a rendered plinth. The gables and turrets to the Brookes Street end are topped with small finials. |
The 1888 building has a rendered masonry interior, with an organ recess and vestry to the north-eastern end, and a timber panelled entry vestibule at the south-western end. The latter contains a timber World War I Honour Roll, and is flanked by timber stairs leading to a timber choir loft supported by two floriated colonnettes. The roof is supported by timber hammerbeam trusses with a king post landing on floriated imposts, and has a diagonally-timbered ceiling with exposed purlins and triangular vents, which is finished with a deep plaster cornice. The two gables to the side elevations are expressed in the ceiling over the choir loft, and a horizontal timber panel with a carved rose covers the base of the spire. The organ recess has a stencilled, half-domed ceiling with a rich moulding to its reveal, and is framed with floriated colonettes. |
The windows are mostly richly patterned stained glass, including two-light tracery windows lining the east and west walls, a larger four-light window over the choir loft, and rosettes to the side gables and above the organ recess. The internal refurbishment is similar to that of the 1870 building, and has included an extensive timber mezzanine with beams which abut existing walls, exposed air conditioning ducts, new toilets and a kitchen in the vestry area, and additional partitioning for offices. |
Externally, the two buildings are unusually complementary in form, materials and details, the later building being a richer elaboration of the modest but fine earlier building. The 1871 building contains some fine, simple timber and brick detailing, while the 1888 interior comprises more lavish plaster and carved timber decoration. Much of the buildings remain intact in form and detail. The spatial quality of the interiors, however, has been substantially altered by the installation of the mezzanine, air conditioning ducts and new partitioning. |

The President's House was built in 1959 to serve as the living quarters for each President at Clemson University. It has been the home to eight different Clemson Presidents and serves as a key location on the University's campus. This is especially the case for new and incoming students because at the beginning of each year, new students are invited to a picnic on the president's lawn in front of the house. This gives students the chance to meet the President for the first time. |
The house is located at 120 Cherry Road in Clemson, South Carolina. When arriving to campus from I-85 (SC) it is the first building people see. Also at night the building has a unique image portrayed on it. Projected on to the building in Clemson Orange is the Tiger Paw logo. |
President's home. |
Built in 1959 to match the design of the Fort Hill Plantation, the Mansion is approximately 7,553 square feet. The project, which was funded by the university, was built for the then current president, Robert C Edwards. Built by architects Charles W Fant & Sons Construction Company. The project was finished in fall of 1959 and has been the home to every president of Clemson University ever since its construction. Since its completion, the home has undergone construction in 1976 and 1998. Current President, James P. Clements resides in the home with his wife, Beth, and daughter, Grace. |
Old president's home. |
The original president's home was completed in 1893. Originally built by Clemson's first president, Strode, Craighead was the first to actually live in the house. The second, third, and fourth presidents of Clemson lived in this house, until Walter M. Riggs refused to leave his new, lavish home, for the designated president's house. After Riggs declined the offer to move into the president's house, the building was converted to Mell Apartments. In all, the Riggs’ house served as an interim presidential residence for three Clemson presidents (Riggs, Sikes, and Poole). During these years, it was considered faculty housing |
Mrs. Poole continued to live in the Riggs’ house, even after her husband died. The following president, R. C. Edwards, moved into what is now the current day President's house. Shortly after Mrs. Poole died, the Riggs’ house was torn down. |
