The Frick Collection/Frick Art Reference Library Archives. Return to Top » BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Henry Clay Frick was born in December 1849, in West Overton, Pa. One of six children, his parents were John W. Frick, a farmer, and Elizabeth Overholt Frick, the daughter of a whiskey distiller and flour merchant. Frick ended his formal education in his late teens, and began work as a clerk at an uncle's store in Mt. Pleasant, Pa. In 1871, Frick borrowed money to purchase a share in a coking concern that would eventually become the H.C. Frick Coke Co. Over the next decade, Frick expanded his business through the acquisition of more coal lands and coke ovens, and joined forces with fellow industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1882. He assumed the chairmanship of Carnegie Bros. and Co. (later Carnegie Steel Co.) in 1889, and served in that capacity until his resignation from the company in December 1899. In December 1881, Frick married Adelaide Howard Childs of Pittsburgh. The couple purchased a house, nicknamed Clayton, in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh, and had four children: Childs Frick (1883-1965), Martha Howard Frick (1885-1891), Helen Clay Frick (1888-1984), and Henry Clay Frick, Jr. (born 1892, died in infancy). After the turn of the century, Frick and his family began dividing their time between Pittsburgh, New York, and Massachusetts. In 1905, Frick leased the Vanderbilt mansion at 640 Fifth Avenue in New York. The family's summer residence, located on Boston's North Shore, was completed in 1906 and christened Eagle Rock. As early as 1907, Frick began planning for a New York residence of his own. That year, he purchased a plot of land at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 70th Street, and in 1912, after the demolition of the Lenox Library formerly on the site, began building the beaux arts mansion which now houses The Frick Collection. Designed by Thomas Hastings of the firm Carrère and Hastings, the family moved into the house at One East Seventieth Street in the fall of 1914, and Henry Clay Frick died there five years later. Return to Top » SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE This series consists primarily of receipted invoices, 1900-1926, for personal and office expenses incurred by Henry Clay Frick, his family, and staff. The receipts encompass a range of goods and services, including groceries, clothing, transportation, medical expenses, club dues and charges, books and subscriptions, utilities, and payroll. These items document expenses at the Frick family's homes in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Prides Crossing, Mass., their residences at 640 Fifth Avenue and 1 East 70th Street in New York, N.Y., and some of the family's travels. Alterations and upkeep of these residences, as well as maintenance and improvement to their grounds are recorded. Expenses incurred after Frick's death in December 1919 were paid by his estate. Goods and services documented here were procured through both businesses and individuals , and a brief description of the charge incurred is included with each entry in the finding aid below. Receipts are occasionally accompanied by correspondence, passbooks, or printed material, such as notices, brochures, and pamphlets. Folder contents may range from a single item to several folders of documents. Examples of some of the more voluminous files in this series are grocers (Acker, Merrall and Condit Co.; Childs, Sleeper and Co.; Clark Bros. and Co.; Edw. Treser Co.; Geo. M. Hofmann; John A. Renshaw and Co.; North Shore Fish Co.; and Rowley's Provision Co.), ice (Consolidated Ice Co.), shipping (Adams Express Co., American Express Co.), utilities (Allegheny Light Co. and People's Natural Gas Co.), telephone and telegraph services (New England Telephone and Telegraph Co., New York Telephone Co., Western Union Telegraph Co., Central District and Printing Telegraph Co., and Postal Telegraph-Cable Co.), stationers ( J.R. Weldin and Co. and Stevenson and Foster Co.), and payroll. While most receipts are filed under the service provider, certain employees in the Frick household kept their own accounts and submitted monthly expense summaries, filed here under the employee's surname. These include chauffeur George Despres, coachman James Elmore, gardeners David Fraser and George Wyness, butler Joseph Holroyd, engineer John Holroyd, and private rail car steward L. Perkins. This series is not a complete record of all invoices paid by Henry Clay Frick's office and household. In fact, receipts in this series tend to be for smaller expenses, and appear to have been paid through the secretary's account in Frick's Pittsburgh office. Larger expenses were paid through the accounts payable voucher system (see: Henry Clay Frick Papers, Series III: Voucher Files, where additional receipts and invoices can be found).

A VALUABLE HOBBY The Knickerbocker Club played baseball at Hoboken's "Elysian Fields" on October 6, 1845. That game appears to be the first recorded by an American newspaper. This Currier & Ives lithograph, which is online via the Library of Congress, depicts the Elysian Fields. As the nineteenth century moved into its fourth decade, Alexander Cartwright wrote rules for the Knickerbockers, an amateur New York City baseball club. Those early rules (which were adopted on the 23rd of September, 1845) provide a bit of history (perhaps accurate, perhaps not) for the “Recently Invented Game of Base Ball.” For many years the games of Townball, Rounders and old Cat have been the sport of young boys. Recently, they have, in one form or another, been much enjoyed by gentlemen seeking wholesome American exercise. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright and other members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York codified the unwritten rules of these boys games into one, and so made the game of Base Ball a sport worthy of attention by adults. We have little doubt but that this gentlemanly pastime will capture the interest and imagination of sportsman and spectator alike throughout this country. Within two weeks of adopting their rules, members of the Knickerbocker Club played an intra-squad game at the Elysian Fields (in Hoboken, New Jersey).

A member of the 23 Park Avenue Realty Corporation, owner of the building, spoke in support of the designation. There were no speakers in opposition to this designation.
