Contact: [email protected] Bikes and the Brooklyn Waterfront: Past, Present, and Future Brooklyn and the Bicycle by David V. Herlihy Across the United States, cycling is flourishing, not only as a recreational activity but also as a “green” and practical means of urban transportation. The phenomenon is particularly pronounced in Brooklyn, a large and mostly flat urban expanse with a vibrant, youthful population. The current national cycling boom encompasses new and promising developments, such as a growing number of hi-tech urban bike share networks, including Citi Bike, set to launch in New York City in May 2013. Nevertheless, the present “revival” reflects a certain historical pattern in which the bicycle has swung periodically back into, and out of, public favor. I propose to review here the principal American cycling booms over the past century and a half to show how, each time, Brooklyn has played a prominent role. I will start with the introduction of the bicycle itself (then generally called a “velocipede” from the Latin for fast feet), when Brooklyn was arguably the epicenter of the nascent American bicycle industry. 1 Bikes and the Brooklyn Waterfront: Past, Present, and Future Velocipede Mania The first bicycle craze, known then as “velocipede mania,” struck Paris in mid- 1867, in the midst of the Universal Exhibition.

Patrick McCray Professor Alice O’Connor Professor Paul Spickard June 2019 The dissertation of Brian Patrick Tyrrell is approved. _______________________________________________ W. Patrick McCray _______________________________________________ Alice O’Connor _______________________________________________ Paul Spickard _______________________________________________ Peter Alagona, Committee Chair Bred for the Race: Thoroughbred Horses and the Politics of Pedigree, 1700-2000 Copyright © 2019 by Brian Patrick Tyrrell iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A funny thing happened on the way to this dissertation. Despite my best efforts, I put down roots in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara, a town of 90,000, sits on a narrow spit of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains on California’s Central Coast. It’s just far enough from Los Angeles to make frequent trips to Southern California’s megalopolis impracticable, and its vineyards, beaches, and sky-high real estate prices have earned the city its reputation as the American Riviera. Nothing about the place, in other words, suggested graduate school life. But when I arrived on campus in 2011, I encountered an extraordinary community. For better or worse, during my first years of course work the history department graduate student offices served as a social nexus. Any time day or night at least one of the following people could be found there, either working hard or looking to be distracted.

  • A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850–1900
    A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850–1900 Stephen Jude Sullivan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Stephen Jude Sullivan All rights reserved ABSTRACT A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850-1900 Stephen Jude Sullivan A full understanding of nineteenth century Irish America requires close examination of emigration as well as immigration. Knowledge of Irish pre-emigration experiences is a key to making sense of their post-emigration lives. This work analyzes the regional origins, the migration and settlement patterns, and the work and associational life of the Catholic Irish in Brooklyn between 1850 and 1900. Over this pivotal half century, the Brooklyn Irish developed a rich associational life which included temperance, Irish nationalism, land reform and Gaelic language and athletic leagues. This era marked the emergence of a more diverse, mature Irish- Catholic community, a community which responded in a new ways to a variety of internal and external challenges. To a degree, the flowering of Irish associational life represented a reaction to the depersonalization associated with American industrialization. However, it also reflected the changing cultural norms of many post-famine immigrants. Unlike their pre-1870 predecessors, these newcomers were often more modern in outlook – more committed to Irish nationhood, less impoverished, better educated and more devout. Consequently, post-1870 immigrants tended to be over-represented in the ranks of associations dedicated to Irish nationalism, Irish temperance, trade unionism, and cultural revivalism throughout Kings County.

On December 16, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of Public School 66 (Formerly the Brooklyn Hills School, later the Oxford School, now the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School) (Item No. 3).1 The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Nine people spoke in favor of designation, including New York City Councilmember Elect Elizabeth Crowley, Public School 66 Principal Phyllis Leinwand, and representatives of New York City State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., the New York City School Construction Authority, the Society for the Architecture of the City, the Historic Districts Council, and the Richmond Hill Historical Society. Two others also spoke in favor of designation. The Commission read a letter in support of designation from Caroline Kennedy. The Commission also received several letters in support of designation from first grade students of the school. There were no speakers in opposition to designation.2 Summary Originally constructed in 1898-9, Public School (P.S.) 66 is a remarkable survivor from a time when Richmond Hill, Queens, was transitioning from a rural farming community into a vibrant residential neighborhood.
