'IN HOIJTHO, < Compiler. PRICJB, '-'■■ < i NTS. 192 * Real Estate Record and Builders Guide, $ How to Use the Guide, The leading purpose of this work is to supply the vast masses of the constantly moving multitudes visiting or inhabiting the Empire City with information arranged in a simple and com pact form and showing the most direct and convenient routes of transit between all the central points. A little study of the map, in connection with the tables, will enable one to select the route most eligible between any two points located on or near the various railroads traversing and intersecting the different streets. The map is drawn on a scale sufficiently large to give a clear conception of the topography of the City ; its length, if joined together, would equal nearly three feet. The many advantages secured by reason of its division into sections are obvious. There are forty-niue squares on Section 4 of the map, drawn to a scale of one mile each. The squares on the remaining three sections are one-half mile each in each direction. They may be considered as grouped in series, those described by the horizontal red lines being numbered from 1 to 6, beginning at the top and continuing to the bottom of each section, while those embraced within the series of vertical lines are indicated by letters, beginning with A, and continuing uniformly to Y, through the four sections. Every square in the four sections of the map is thus indexed with a letter and figure, giving to each of the 157 squares, comprising this portion of the work, its index character, thus : A 1, A 2 — B 1, B 2 — etc. These characters are always used when referring to the location of Streets, Piers, Ferries, Hotels, etc. The streets of the City below 133d Street are tabled in alphabetical order on the back of the sections. The " Map Square," showing where each street begins and ends, follows its title, making a complete index to every street corresponding to its location on the map. For example, to find in its alphabetical order Hudson Street, it will be seen that it begins at square "C 3," and ends at square "F 2." By reference to these index characters its exact location is determined at once. The "Street Car Routes" arj systematically classed, each one of the twenty-five Lines being indexed with the letters A to Y, inclusive (see pages 52 to 55). The order in which each line traverses the various streets is there accurately shown in a clear and comprehensive manner. The " Elevated R.R. Stations " below 155th Street (see page 48) are numbered from 1 to 67, inclusive. In the tables of Ferries, R.R. Depots, Steamship Lines, Piers, Places of Amusement, Hotels, etc., the map square, showing their location on the map, the numbers indicating the nearest Elevated R.R. Station and the letters designating the nearest Car Route, are placed opposite to each. For example, under heading "Theatres and Places of Amusement," if it is desired to find the Fifth Avenue Theatre, the index character "G3," in map square column, shows its location on the map ; the letters " B-H-N," under column headed Street Car Routes, refer to the Broadway (" B "), the Grand and Forty-Second Street (" H "), and the Sixth Avenue (" N ") Street Car Lines respectively, as immediately passing or near the Theatre, while the figures " 2o-6th," in column of Elevated R.R. Stations, shows the number and line of the nearest Elevated Station to such Theatre. The street numbers at any point, on all the leading streets below 155th Street, running the length of the Island, in a northerly or southerly direction, may be closely located by reference to the large table on pages 49 to 51. The general system adopted of numbering the numerical cross streets is explained at introduction to Street Directory, page 8.

Alley Avenue Between Corner ABBREVIATIONS. ct. Court fr. From E.R. East River gr. Green la. Lane m'k't Market N. North N.R. North River P k. Park Rear. Place. South. si. Slip sq. Square ter. Terrace W. "West For convenience of reference the Streets and Avenues of the City are arranged in condensed tabular form as shown on opposite page. Atten- tion is called to the reference squares, A 1, B 2, etc., on the map, which, with the exception of the fourth section, describe actual distances of one-half mile each in either direction. The squares on section four measure one mile across. Fifth Avenue from Waverly Place to the Harlem River, a distance ol about 6£ miles, is taken as a central line, dividing the city into East and West. The house numbers on the numerical cross streets from 13th Street to 133d Street begin at Fifth Avenue and run East and West, beginning a new hundred at each avenue whether the prior hundred has been filled out or not. The odd numbers are on the northerly or upper sides of these streets, and the even numbers on the lower sides. All of the avenues run north and south, the majority of them the whole length of the island. They are designated as First, Second, and up to Twelfth avenues, with an additional series known as Avenues A, B, C and D. They are nearly uniformly one-eighth mile apart with the exception of Lexington and Madison Avenues, which are situated between Third and Fourth and Fourth and Fifth Avenues respectively. The numbering of the avenues begins south and increases as they run north,! East Houston Street forming the most southerly boundry line of thejj majority of them. The table on pages 49 to 51 will enable one to closely locate the house number on any avenue desired. Distances between any two points in the city on the first three sections of the map can be readily determined by using the " distance and tim scale," one of which accompanies each copy of this work. Should it b desired, for example, to go from Union Square to the Battery, the seal would indicate i\ miles. The official schedule time in going this distanc on the street cars is also shown thereon to average 28 minutes. The scale will show at a glance the distance between any two parts of the city and the corresponding average amount of time consumed in traveling such distances on the lines of the elevated railroads, street cars, etc. The average gait of a person walking is about three miles per hour. Ten minutes would therefore be required to walk across any of the half mile distances described by the squares, into which the first three sections of the map are divided. The streets and avenues north of 133d Street and in the annexed dis- trict will be found tabulated on pages 21 to 29. ill. I) V 1. 1. ..I. .if I'l \ I ban) All. ii \ ni-l. i ,1.111. \ \ \ I.

A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK CITY From the Discovery of Manhattan Island in 1524 to 1891. The following compilation of the principal events connected with the history of the City of New York is taken from the most reliable sources obtainable. It is based wholly upon official figures and historical records of unquestioned authenticity. The information given, while necessarily condensed and abridged, will be found to cover every impor- tant event and prominent incident which marks the City's great strides, from its primitive condition as a beautiful island, occupied solely by Indians, to its present position as one of the leading commercial and financial centers of the world. 1524 The " Island of Manhattan " discovered by John D. Verrazzani, a Florentine. 1598 A few Hollanders, in the employ of a Greenland Company, were in the habit of resorting to New York, then called " New N'ether- landr," — the so-named Dutch possessions in North America — to se- cure shelter during the Winter months. 1609 The " Half Moon," bearing Captain Hendrick Hudson and fifteen seamen, landed in New York harbor. 1613 Captain Adrien Block built four ^mall houses and established a fur agency at what is now No. 41 Broadway. 1614 A Dutch colony founded the settlement of New Amsterdam on Bowling Green. 1625 The settlement now numbered 200 persons, including a colony of thirty families, French protestants, settled in 1623, all of whom were sent from Holland by the Dutch West India Company. 1626 Peter Minuet purchased the Island of Manhattan, estimated to contain 22,000 acres, from the Indians for 60 guilders — $24. Thirty rude log houses extending along the East River ; a block house ; a horse mill, and the Dutch Company's stone building, constituted the city. First law court established. Export of furs for the year amounted m value to $19,000. 1631 The New Netherlatid, a ship of 800 tons and one of the largest merchantmen 111 the world, built at Manhattan, was sent to Holland. Yearly imports from old Amsterdam about $23,000. Exports from Manhattan about $27,000. 1633 First building erected exclusively for a place of worship. The first clergyman and schoolmaster arrived from Holland. 1638 First ferry to Long Island, a skiff being used. Sometimes pas- sengers had to wait a whole day before being taken over. Tobacco was raised to a considerable extent on Manhattan Island. 31 L'p to tl h West Ii.

The elevations running back through Leonard, Grand and ad- jacent streets, beyond Broadway, were 100 feet high. The first trial of a steamboat, with a screw propeller, took place on this pond. A canal 40 feet wide was built along the line of Canal street. 1797 The hills on Broadway, between Murray and Canal streets, were graded. There were 23 churches in the city. 1799 The Manhattan Company was chartered to supply the city with water from a reservoir on Chambers street, conveyed through wooden pipes. 1800 Washington, Union, Madison and Tompkins squares laid out. 1801 Population, 63,000.

East River Bridge opened to the public ; total cost nearly $15,000,000, two-thirds of which were borne by the city of Brooklyn. Nov. 25th. Grand Centennial Celebration in honor of the Evacu- ation of the city by the British. The President and nine Governors, with 40,000 soldiers, marines, firemen, veterans, policemen, Grand Army Posts, sailors, societies and municipal representatives, were in line, notwithstanding the fact that a cold, drizzling rain prevailed. The streets along the line of march were lined with spectators for miles. It was estimated that between 600,000 and 700,000 visitors came to the city for the occasion. A magnificent water parade on both rivers preceded the land display. The exercises of the day ended with banquets, entertainments, etc., in different parts of the city, by the various leading representative societies. 1889 Centennial Celebration of the Inauguration of George Washing- ton as first President of the United States. The city gave itself up completely for three days, April 29th, 30th, and May 1st, in honor of the event. It is estimated that 3,000,000 strangers visited the city during the celebration. April 29th. The day opened gloriously with the reception of the President and his Cabinet. In the Naval Parade, which followed, the harbor was filled with over a thousand vessels all gorgeously festooned, beautifully decorated and crowded with people, the shores and piers, radiant in red, white and blue, being alive with the multi- tudes. The Centennial Ball in the evening eclipsed any similar affair ever held in this country and was equal in grandeur, brilliancy, and ihe splendor of its appointments, to the most famous of European court balls. The Metropolitan Opera House was transformed into a veri- table bovver of roses, azaleas, lilies and ferns ; the ballroom was a marvel of light and color with its thousands of incandescent electric lamps in red, white and blue, and innumerable gas jets adding to the effectiveness of the scene. The expense of this ball was about $100,000. Ten thousand persons were present. From the magnifi- cence of the ladies' costumes, the marvelous blaze of diamonds, together with the rare congregation, representative of the wealth, beauty and intellect of the nation, it certainly merited the criticism it received when it was described as the " Greatest Ball of the Cen- tury." April 30th. The Military Parade was one of the grandest affairs of its kind ever witnessed ; eleven miles of richly uniformed soldiers, with delegations from 700 Grand Army Posts, representing nearly every State in the Union, headed by their respective Governors and Staffs, were in the line, forming a procession of impressive pomp and glittering pageantry never before equalled. A conservative estimate of the number of sightseers immediately on the line of march placed it at fully 1,000,000 persons. For the " window privileges " of one building on the route $5,000, was refused, while $500 was frequently paid for the use of one window for the two days. The streets at four different points along the line were spanned with magnificent triumphal arches.

The information -given below is derived entirely from official sources, brought down to the year 1S91. It is only intended to present a few prominent facts in the most condensed form possible, illustrating the City's remarkable development. History records nothing to com- pare with the magnificent exhibits of industrial progress here presented. CORPORATE The corporate limits of the City embrace an area of nearly LIMITS. 40 X 3 square miles, Manhattan Island containing 13,463 acres and the annexed district, 23d and 24th Wards, 12,317 acre°. New York Harbor, which is conceded to be the finest in the world, contains an area of 102 square miles of safe anchorage — 88 miles in the lower bay and 14 miles in the upper bay. The available water frontage meas- ures 24^4 miles : 13 miles on the Hudson River ; 9J4 miles on the East River, and 2 1 2 miles on the Harlem River. POPULATION. The present population of the City, based upon the enum- eration made by the police in the month of September, 1890, under a unani- mous resolution of the Common Council, was found to be 1,710,715. The U. S. Federal Census, taken in the month of June, returned only 1,513,101 inhabitants. About one-half of the residents of the City live below 14th Street. In the Tenth Ward, within an area of a square mile, 290,000 persons are housed. The City's population is increasing at the rate of 60,000 annually. If an enumeration were taken of the persons residing within a circle described by a radius extending from the City Hall to the northern boundary line of the corporate limits of the City, the population of the " Metropolis" would largely exceed 3,000,000 persons. ASSESSED In the magnitude and influence of her many commer- VALUATION, Ac. cial and industrial enterprises reaching out to the most remote sections of the country, stimulating and giving vitality to the commerce of the whole world ; in the vast aggregation of her corpor- ate wealth ; in the concentration and availability of her moneyed re- sources, over $1,000,000,000 being deposited in her different financial in- stitutions, and in the notable accumulations of individual wealth, New York stands without a peer. There are between 50,000 and 60,000 ac- tive business firms in the City. Four thousand of her business houses are rated at $75,000 each, and upwards, classified as follows : — 350 at $1,000,- 000 and over, — 400 at from $500,000 to $1,000,000, — 3,000 at from $100,- 000 to $500,000, and the remainder, nearly 250, at $75,000 each and over. Between one and two hundred of her citizens have annual incomes ex- ceeding $250,000 each. Within the area bounded by Reade.West Broadway, Spring and Crosby Streets, comprising about 130 acres, the wholesale dry goods houses are mainly located. In no city in the world can be found, within an equal space, a greater quantity of valuable merchandise, which has an estimated value of over $500,000,000. The average sales of some of her leading dry goods, grocery and hardware houses is nearly $1,000,- 000 per week. The assessed valuation of her real estate is $1,466,849,- 000, and of personal property about $300,000,000. This total sum of real estate and personal property exceeds, by over one hundred million dol- lars, the combined assessed valuation of the five States and three Terri- tories comprising the Pacific Coast Region.

In addition to the foregoing, the City contributes, under authority of various legal enact- ments, $1,246,000, towards the support of about 8,000 inmates, in twenty- five miscellaneous asylums and charitable institutions. The Blackwell's Island bakery uses from 18,000 to 20,000 bbls. of flour per year in making nearly 5,000,000 lbs. of bread consumed there. PARKS. The annual appropriation for maintenance of the Parks ex- ceeds $1,000,000. The City contains 39 public parks, exclusive of trian- gles and small open places, with a combined area of 4,841 acres, of which 3,600 acres, recently acquired at a cost exceeding $9,700,000, are located north of the Harlem River in the newly annexed district of the 23d and 24th Wards. Pelham Bay Park, containing 1,700 acres and located on the Sound, has a water front of 9 miles along the Sound. This is the largest of the seven parks belonging to the city and is one of the most beautiful natural parks in the world. Nearly one-fourth, or about 1,180 acres of the public parks, are south of the Harlem River. In Central Park, which has cost the City over $20,000,000, over 500,000 trees, shrubs, etc., have been planted ; here is located the Metropolitan Museum of Art — one of the finest institutions of its kind in the world. The appraised value of Central Park exceeds $100,000,000; its area is, approximately, 862 acres, of whicli43 1 4 acres are in Lakes. The Park contains 40 miles of roads, walks and bridle paths. The distance around the outside wall exceeds 6 miles. The Museum and Menagerie, located near 5th Ave. and 64th St., which is visited by 3,000,000 persons annually, is the finest in the country. The Museum of Natural History, an adjunct to the Park, on the block bounded by Columbus and 8th Aves. and 77th to 81st Sts., contains a magnificent collection of rare and interesting objects. There are dg 1 -^ acres of parks lighted with electricity and 66 acres with gas. Upon Ward's, Hart's, North Brothers, Randall's and Blackwell's Islands, in the East River, comprising altogether an area about 575 acres, are located the Peniten- tiary, Insane Asylum and principal hospitals of the city. Governor's, Ellis' and Bedloe's Islands, nearly 80 acres altogether, are located in the Bay, and owned by the United States Government. BANKS. The average amount on deposit in the sixty-four Associated Banks, comprising the New York Clearing House, is now about $470,- 000,000. The average daily clearings exceed $145,700,000, being nearly 65^ of the total exchanges of the whole country. The Association was incorporated in 1853 ; its clearings for the thirty-seven years of its or- ganization have avenged over $80,000,000 per day, which exceeds 80 percent, of the total exchanges of the whole country. Thsre are thirty- six additional Banks not belonging to the Clearing House, besides 176 Private Banks and Bankers. There are over 772,000 depositors in the twenty-seven Savings Banks in the City, having on deposit an average of about $400 each, aggregating over $319,000,000. There are sixteen Trust Companies with deposits exceeding $160,000,000 ; also twenty-one Safe Deposit Companies, and seventeen Investment, Mortgage and Guarantee Companies. POST OFFICE. The yearly receipts of the Post Office aggregate $6,254,- 460; total expenses about $2,500,000, leaving net annual profit to U. S. Government $3,754,460. An average of 2,702,396 pieces of mail matter, using 14,080 sacks and pouches, and weighing 600,000 lbs., pass through the office every day. There are 1,000 lamp-post boxes, from which collections are made seven times daily.

With the completion of the improvements in the terminals, now under way, the bridge cars alone will be able to carry 50,000 persons each way hourly. The daily receipts from tolls alone exceed $2,800, or over $1,000,000 per annum. The aggregate number of persons crossing the bridge up to January 1st, 1891, was 180,700,000. The President of the Board of Trustees es- timates that within ten years the annual travel over the bridge will ex- ceed 96,000,000 persons, yielding a yearly net profit of $1,770,000. The total receipts from all sources from the date of its opening to January 1, 1 891, amounted to $6, 800,000; $367, 200 of this sum was derived, principally from rentals of warehouses located under the approaches of the super- structure. The yearly travel on the lines of the sixteen different ferry companies, which keep constantly running over 100 boats on the different routes in the two rivers between New York and the cities opposite, will exceed 150,000,000 persons. The lines operated by the Union Ferry Company alone carry nearly 36,000,000 passengers, while the boats of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to Jersey City carry about 25,000,- 000 persons annually. The various other lines carry in nearly the same proportion. The boats on the two rivers cross to and fro over 4,000 times daily. Between 40,000 and 50,000 persons arrive and depart from the Grand Central Railroad Depot in 42d street every day, or say 16,500,- 000 per annum. When the improvements now under way are finished the capacity of the depot will be increased sufficiently to handle 75,000 passengers daily, or 27,000,000 a year. The grain elevator of this com- pany, at the foot of West Sixtieth Street, is worthy of note, being one of largest and best equipped in the world. Seventy men can load or unload three hundred cars of grain here in a single day. Among the terminals of the various railroads leading to the city, those of the Erie Company at Weehawken, now approaching completion, are among the most notable. The company's piers will have an area of 545,000 square feet. There will be 822,000 cubic feet of storage room under cover, and two miles of vessels can load and unload at the piers at one time. The yards containing the railroad tracks connected with the piers will have a capacity for holding 2,200 cars. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has also under construction and nearly completed, at Jersey City, the largest passenger station and one of the finest R. R. terminals in the world. About $3,500,000 of the com- pany's earnings are being invested here in various improvements. The passenger station proper will consist of a single arched iron roof, 90 feet in height, 652*0 ^ eet ^ on S an ^ 2 5^ feet in width along the river front; this is exclusive of the waiting room and ferry accommodations, which are of immense proportions and built in the most substantial manner. The Central Railroad Company of New Jersey has recently spent large sums, both in this City and Jersey City, in the improvement of its terminal facilities, etc. Its new train shed at the latter place, recently completed, is an immense structure, being 512 feet long, 215 feet wide and 70 feet in height. The Long Island R. R. Co. has also been forced to accommodate it- self to the increasing tide of its patronage and has just completed at Long Island City (Hunters Point) a magnificent depot which has but few equals. Its exterior dimensions are 105x215 feet and its cost over $100,000. There are seventeen lines of railroads running from the City through the suburban districts, the travel upon which is enormous. It is estimated that 54,000 commuters, living within a distance of 20 miles from the City, regularly travel on these lines. This amount of travel requires the constant service of 800 cars and 160 locomotives.

CLUBS. A distinguishing feature of the city's social life is strikingly illustrated in the number of its clubs and the luxuriousness of their surroundings. In this respect New York City stands preeminent, not even excepting the establishments of the older European cities. It is conservatively esti- mated that the value of the leading club plants of the city will exceed $25,000,000. The following list includes the names and addresses of all the leading clubs, and some which may not be rated as first class, but there are thousands of clubs, so called, representing various social, in- dustrial and political organizations, which do not appear here.

This magnificent structure, which is said to be one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, crosses the Harlem River and the tracks of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad at Tenth Avenue and 181st Street, see map Square "T 2." Its total length is 2,375 feet, and its clear height above high water, 152 feet 4 inches The total width of road- way is 80 feet — 50 feet being used for the carriage-way, the sidewalks taking up 15 feet on either side of the same. Work on the Bridge was commenced in July, 1886; it was finished in December, 1888, and opened to the public in 1889. Its total cost was nearly $3,000,000—/. e., $2,851,684.55. An average of 500 men were constantly employed upon the work during its construction. The two main central arches, each being 510 feet span, are superb examples of modern engineering skill, wherein sections of steel are combined and keyed into arches in the same manner as stone arches are built. The seven side arches, four on the west and three on the easterly section, are of granite. NIAGARA FALLS. (See illustration on page 77.) This mighty cataract, which is located four hundred and forty-seven miles from New York, at the western terminus of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, is the most inspiring natural wonder known to man, and the objective point of tourists from the most remote parts of the earth. The Niagara River, extending from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, a distance of thirty miles, forms the outlets of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie. The total fall of the river is three hundred and thirty- four feet, the greater part of the descent being confined within a distance of seven or eight miles. The rapids are so strong two miles above the falls as to entirely prevent navigation. There are three distinct cataracts The Horseshoe Falls, so called from its crescent shape, is by far the largest, and is in the direct course of the river ; it is two thousand feet wide and one hundred and fifty-four feet high. The American Fall is six hundred and sixty feet wide, and the Central Fall two hundred and forty-three feet, each having a fall of one hundred and sixty-three feet. In 1885 the State of New York acquired by purchase all the property on the American side adjacent to the falls, including Prospect Park, and it is now open free to the public. In 1888 the lands adjacent to the falls on the Canadian side were finally opened to the public after their acqui- sition by the Dominion Government. The New York Central maintains a magnificent service of ten fast express trains between New York and Niagara Falls every day in the year.
