r<y>^ PREFACEThe information and pictures in this volume are

supplied as a help to the visitor, who is, in reality,

to be the author of the book. Blank pages are

inserted to enable him to make notes and record

his impressions of the places visited.- The illus-

trations are reproductions from the portfolio of

an artist and are therefore of more value than the

commonplace photographs.

A book of this character should be of lasting

interest to its owner and years hence will afford

him much pleasure and amusement as a souvenir

of his " Trip to New York.'*

THE BATTEKYAt the time of the early Dutch settlement,

the lower extremity of Manhattan Island was bor-

dered by rocks. Just a little north and near whatis now Bowling Green was the site of a fort, built

by the Dutch West India Company, and called

Fort Amsterdam. When the English took pos-

session it became Fort James and later, during the

reign of Queen Anne it was named Fort George.

The English decided to build a battery to pro-

tect their newly acquired territory and the strip

of land beyond the fort was used for that purpose.

It was then separated from the fort by water,

reaching from Water and Whitehall Streets to

Greenwich Street. The battery and fort were de-

molished at about the same time. In later years

it became a park and is now known as " TheBattery."

CASTLE GARDEN (The Aq^iiarium)

On a strip of land about two hundred feet from

the Battery a new fort was built. It was com-

pleted in 1805 and called Fort Clinton. At that

time it was approached by means of a drawbridge,

but the narrow stretch of water has long since

been filled in. During the war of 1812 Fort Clin-

ton was strengthened but was never attacked.

In 1822 it was deeded to the State and then be-

came a place of amusement under the name of

Castle Garden. Here it was that General Lafay-

ette was received as a visitor to the United States

in 1824.

In 1855 Castle Garden was used by the United

States Government as a depot for emigrants and

continued as such until 1892, when Ellis Island

vv^as used in its stead.

In 1896 it was made an aquarium.

THE BOWLING GREENThis is one of the most interesting places in

historic New York. It is a small oval park at the

lower end of Broadway, and is the oldest park in

the city. Fort Amsterdam was built here in 1G15

and near here the first church in Manhattan was

built by the Dutch.

In 1787 the fort was demolished and in its place

was put up a red brick structure with Ionic pil-

lars, used as a government house. When the seat

of government was moved to Philadelphia, the

building was used as a residence for the governors

of the State, becoming later the United States Cus-

tom House. The corner-stone for the new build-

ing was laid in 1902. This beautiful structure is

made of carved granite and cost nearly $5,000,000.

In the days of the fort. Bowling Green was

used as a drill ground. In 1659 and for many years

afterwards it was used for an annual cattle show;

and in 1732 several citizens leased the ground and

converted it into a bowling green. A leaden

equestrian statue of George III was sent over by

England and placed here in 1770 and an iron rail-

ing, costing £800, was put around it by the

citizens. This railing is still to be seen, but the

statue was torn from its pedestal by patriotic

soldiers when the Declaration of Independence

was read, July 9, 177G. It was moulded into

bullets and these were fired at the king's troops.

BROAD STREET AND THE STOCKEXCHANGE

In the days of New Amsterdam the land about

Broad Street was a marsh, from which ran a bi'ook

throuo-h the centre of the street to the river. This

brook was finally lined on both sides with planks

so as to form an open drain. The marsh extended

to Exchange Place one block below Wall Street.

The ground between the swamp and Wall Street

was known as the Sheep Pasture.

Between 1G60 and 1676 the swamp and brook

were filled up, and the street made level. It was

paved on both sides and became a market place.

This property is now in the centre of the financial

district and is the most valuable real estate in NewYork.

One front of the Stock Exchange opens on

Broad Street. The Board Room occupies the

ground floor having a gallery for the accommo-

dation of visitors—no one except the membersbeing allowed on the ground floor. The upper

floors are all used for offices. The Exchange is

open for business transactions from 10 A. m. to

3 p. M. Only the stocks, bonds and securities

which have been acknowledged by the Exchangeare put on the market. The most important of

them are represented by iron standards distributed

around the floor where the buying and selling of

the special securities take place.

ST. PAUL'S CHAPEL

The oldest church building

in the city is St. Paul's, on

Broadway between Fulton and

Yesey Streets. It belongs to

the Trinity corporation and was

the third Episcopal Church to

be built in ISTew York. It was

completed in 1766 ; and was

built to face the North River,

because that position was con-

sidered more attractive than a

frontage on Broadway. Be-

tween the church and the river

there were no buildings at that

time.

In the rear wall of the church,

facing Broadway, is a tablet to

the memory of Gen. Eichard Montgomery, the

soldier of the Eevolution ; and in the churchyard

are the graves of many whose names are famousin history. Among them are monuments to

Thomas Addis Emmet, the Irish patriot, andGeorge Frederick Cook.

The church interior is simple and effective, and

a fine specimen of the churches of Colonial Days.

On the left side of the church, and marked by a

bronze tablet, is the pew which was occupied byWashington after his inauguration.

FEINTING HOUSE SQUAEEThe small triangle on the east side of City Hall

Park, at the intersection of Nassau Street, Spruce

Street and Park Row, is called Printing House

Square, and for sixty years was the newspaper

centre.

A bronze statue of Benjamin Franklin, the fa-

mous printer, philosopher and statesman was erected

here in 1872.

A great crowd surges through here twice a day,

as this is one of the important approaches to the

Brooklyn Bridge, from the financial district.

At the close of the business day the clerks and

employees of the tall office buildings pack the

narrow streets from wall to wall, and every one

seems to have but one object—to get home as

quickly as possible.

BROOKLYN BRIDGEBrooklyn Bridge was opened to the public in

May, 1883, having required thirteen years for its

completion, at a cost of about $16,000,000. It

was perhaps the greatest undertaking of its time

and is now certainly one of the places in NewYork to interest visitors. About 300,000 people

cross the bridge every day—most of them between

the hours of 7 and 9 A. M. and 5 and 7 p. m.—called the rush hours. Many plans have been

made to relieve the disgracefully crowded condi-

tion at the bridge terminals during those hours

;

but it still remains for some one to devise a suc-

cessful scheme. The bridge is one and one-fourth

miles long and eighty-five feet wide, and in the

centre is one hundred and thirty-five feet above

the water. An excellent view is to be had from

the promenade, especially beautiful in the early

evening, when the lights begin to appear in the

boats on the river and in the tall office buildings

in the city.

WASHINGTON AKCII

The Washington Arch was completed in 1893.

It replaces the temporary structure built for the

Centennial celebration in 1889 which commemo-

rated the inauguration of the first president of the

United States. It is made of marble and cost

about $130,000; the amount having been raised

by popular subscription, mostly in small amounts,

from the citizens of New York.

The park at Washington Square is nearly nine

acres in extent. In 1789 the site was purchased

by the city for a Potter's Field and more than

100,000 bodies were buried there. In 1823 it was

abandoned as a burial place and in 1827 was en-

larged as a parade ground.

MADISON SQUAEENot many years ago Madison Square was sur-

rounded by elegant private residences. Its con-

venience to many large hotels and its proximity

to tlie theatre district have made it an important

business centre.

At the northeast corner of the square is Madison

Square Garden, one of the most unique structures

in the city. It was opened in June, 1890, and is

the ])lace of large entertainments and exhibitions.

It can be arranged to seat 12,000 people.

Near the southwest corner of the square is the

tall Fuller Building (The Flatiron). Its peculiar

shape is best appreciated when viewed from the

triangle in front of the monument at 25th Street

and Fifth Avenue.

called " Greeley Square "; the triangle north of

34th Street is Herald Square ; the Herald build-

ing occupies the block between 35th and 30th

paper, can be seen from the street.

This is the heart of the theatre district, and is

brilliantly illuminated in the evening. The res-

the southwestern entrance to Central Park. In

the centre of the circle is a column, on the top of

which is a statue of Columbus. It was presented

America.

The Circle is brilliantly lighted, and on pleasant

MUERAY HILL

All the elevated district beginning at about

32d Street and Fifth Avenue, and covering sev-

eral blocks, is called Murray Hill. The locality

received its name from the Murray family, whose

mansion, in colonial days, was located near 37th

Street. The British officers, the day they crossed

over from Long Island, were detained here by the

wife of Robert Murray, while Putnam and the

remnant of the American army escaped to the

Heights in Ilark^m.

On the west side of the avenue, in the block from33d to 34th Streets, is the AValdorf-Astoria Hotel.

FIFTH AVENUEFifth Avenue commences at "Washington Square

and extends northward to the Harlem River at

143d Street. It is known everywhere as a resi-

dential street of the ultra-rich ; but a large part of

the avenue is now used for business. As far ujv

town as 48 th Street it is largely occupied by shops,

hotels and clubs.

Looking south, on Fifth Avenue, from the Plaza

are to be seen several tall hotels. The Savoy and

the Netherland at 59th Street, and the new twenty-

story Plaza Hotel, now being constructed ; the two

twenty-story buildings, on opposite corners of 55tli

Street, are especially noticeable; they are the

Hotel St. Pegis, on the east, and the Gotham, on

the west side of the avenue.

THE PLAZA

The southeastern entrance to Central Park at

59th Street and Fifth Avenue, is reached through

a broad, open space called " The Plaza." Some of

New York's finest hotels overlook the beautiful

park gardens which are arranged here. Near the

park entrance is a heroic bronze statue of Gen.

William Tecumseh Sherman.

From this point and extending the length of the

park to the northward, is the finest residential sec-

tion of Fifth Avenue, and here many of the most

magnificent private residences in America are to

be seen. Owing to the number of millionaires

who are located here, this part of the avenue is

called " Millionaire's Row."

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITYColumbia University is situated on Morning

Side Heights extending from 114th to 120th

Streets, and from Amsterdam Avenue to Broad-

way. In 1754 it was chartered by the English

Crown under the name of King's College and was

aided by money contributed by the English peo-

ple. The Trinity Church corporation took a great

interest in the success of the college from the first

and granted to it a piece of land between what is

now College Place and North River, the rents

from which a part of the revenue of the University

has since been obtained. At first the buildings

were erected on College Place, now Park Place,

and were occupied until 1857, when they were

moved to the west side of Madison Avenue, be-

tween 49th and 50th Streets.

, PROSPECT PARK

The main entrance to Prospect Park, Brooklyn,

is from the Plaza, in Flatbush Avenue. Facing

the entrance is a magnificent arch erected to the

memory of the soldiers and sailors of the Civil AVar.

In the park a monument was placed in 1895, in

memory of the 400 Maryland troops who were

killed in the battle of Long Island, which was

fought there in 1776. From the elevated part of

the park a fine view is obtained, which, on a clear

day, extends from the Atlantic horizon to the

Palisades in New Jersey.

The park is almost as large as Central Park.

The Flatbush Avenue car line, is the most direct

from the Brooklyn Bridge.

arated from the shore by Gravesend and Sheeps-

head Bays, and Coney Island Creek. It is reached

by several elevated and street car lines, also by ex-

cursion steamers ; all are crowded night and day

during the season. There are three sections of the

island ; Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach,

which have some very fine hotels ; and the great

amusement beach, with which the name is more

exactly identified. This section is a midway of

fairy-like structures, which are exceedingly beauti-

ful when illuminated in the evenin"-.
