Harris Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 153, Lot 1 in part consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On June 14, 1983, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Sun Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 14}. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. The Camnission has received l etters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation, including a letter from the Camnissioner of the Department of General Services. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Sun Building, originally the A.T. Stewart Store, is one of the most influential buildings erected in New York City during the 19th century. Its appearance in 1846 (Fig.1} introduced a new architectural mode based on the palaces of the Italian Renaissance. Designed by the New York architects, Joseph Trench and John B. Snook, it was built by one of the century's greatest merchants, Alexander Turney Stewart. Within its marble walls, Stewart began the city's first department store, a type of commercial enterprise which was to have a great effect on the city's economic growth and which would change the way of merchandising in this country.

  • From Wall Street to Astor Place: Historicizing Melville's `Bartleby'
    Barbara From Wall Street to Astor Place: Historicizing Foley Melville's "Bartleby" In recent years critics have been calling for a re­ grounding of mid-nineteenth-century American li terature-of the ro­ mance in particular- in politics and history. John McWilliams ap­ plauds the contemporary "challenge to the boundaqless and abstract qualities of the older idea of the Romance's neutral territory." George Dekker notes that recent attempts to "rehistoricize the American ro­ mance'' have entailed an "insist[ence] that our major romancers have always been profoundly concerned with what might be called the men­ tal or ideological 'manners' of American society, and that their seem­ ingly anti-mimetic fictions both represent and criticize those man­ ners. " 1 But Herman Melville's "Bartleby. the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" (1853) has to this point been exempted from a thorough­ going historical recontextualization; its subtitle remains to be fully explained. Not all readings of the tale, to be sure, have been "boundaryless and abstract." Critics interested in the tale's autobiographical dimen­ sion have interpreted it as an allegory of the writer's fate in a market society. noting specific links with Melville's own difficult authorial career. Scholars concerned wilh the story's New York setting have discovered some important references to contemporaneous events. Marxist critics have argued that "Bartleby" offers a portrait of the increasing alienation of labor in the rationalized capitalist economy that took shape in the mid-nineteenth-century United States.2 But such critical enterprises have remained largely separate, with the result that biography.

  • Furnishings and Factory Life in the Modern Metropolis
    Visualizing 19th Century New York Digital Publication Furnishings and Factory Life in the Modern Metropolis Martina D'Amato New York City had firmly established itself as the cabinetmaking capital of America by about 1825, during the heyday of New York’s most famous furniture maker, Duncan Phyfe,1 and remained a prominent producer as well as a sales center for furniture until at least 1875. From the finest parlor furnishings sold in upscale galleries on Broadway to the “dingy . old furniture establishments” selling on the Lower East Side near Five Points,2 New York became as much a site of furniture manufacture as of the production of prints, photography, and books.3 By the middle of the century, there was an increased demand for furniture to decorate the typical American home, in particular the parlor, thanks to the rise in middle-class ambitions to achieve gentility. The parlor exemplified the meeting place of commercial goods and metropolitan life, middle-class identity, domesticity, and comfort. The parlor and the furniture trade have received much scholarly attention for their cultural and social significance.4 Steady progress in the production and trade of household furnishings made the domestic parlor into an attainable space across the social classes, and the affordability of parlor furniture produced in New York owed much to the city’s labor population and its industrial entrepreneurs.

Inhabitants and visitors alike were encouraged to draw decorating inspiration less from those growing factories and shops than from the city’s public parlors, what Katherine Grier has called “commercial parlors,” in hotels such as the Astor House (see Kelly-Bowditch, “The Paprill Hill View”) to photographic galleries (see McKee, “Mathew Brady and the Daguerreotype Portrait”).

  • Mathew Brady and the Daguerreotype Portrait
    Visualizing 19th Century New York Digital Publication Mathew Brady and the Daguerreotype Portrait Claire McRee Mathew Brady’s entrepreneurial skills and celebrity played a key role in establishing the daguerreotype portrait as part of nineteenth-century New York’s visual culture. The daguerreotype, an early photographic process invented by the Parisians Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1839, was quickly adopted as a portrait medium in America. Daguerreotype portraits enjoyed particular popularity in New York City: the first American commercial portrait studio opened there in 1840, and by 1853 the city had more daguerreotype studios than all of England.1 Daguerreotypes were inexpensive compared with traditional painted portraits, allowing many more consumers to afford a likeness. Moreover, the daguerreotype’s ability to create exact likenesses impressed people, many of whom viewed the daguerreotype process as mysterious and marvelous.2 In 1851 the Photographic Art-Journal expressed a popular attitude toward the seemingly magical daguerreotype process when it extolled of “the invisible hand of Nature” creating the image “with her own cunning pencil.”3 McRee 2 FIG. 1 J.

Mathew Brady was born in upstate New York, but like many New York City entrepreneurs of the era, he moved to the city as a young man in search of new opportunities. He opened his first portrait studio in 1844 at 205 Broadway, a building he shared with Edward Anthony, a stereographer and supplier of photographic materials (see Spofford “Prosperous Partnership”).

  • (FORMER) FIREHOUSE, ENGINE COMPANY 29, 160 Chambers Street, Manhattan Built C
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 28, 2016, Designation List 488 LP-2564 (FORMER) FIREHOUSE, ENGINE COMPANY 29, 160 Chambers Street, Manhattan Built c. 1832-33, architect not determined; altered 1868, Nathaniel D. Bush Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 137, Lot 25 On February 11, 2014, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the (Former) Firehouse, Engine Company 29 and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1).1 The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were three speakers in favor of designation, including representatives of Tribeca Trust and Historic Districts Council. Summary The Former Firehouse, Engine Company 29 is one of the city’s earliest surviving police stations, and is an early and an important reminder of the development of Chambers Street and southern Tribeca. While the relatively narrow width of the building recalls its early residential character, the height and design of the facade signals the building’s later civic uses. The building at 160 Chambers Street has served a variety of private and public uses since the early 19th century. Located on the south side of Chambers Street between West Broadway and Greenwich Street, it was built as a three-story residence by Samuel Thomson, a noted builder, c. 1832-33. In 1836 David B. Ogden, a prominent lawyer, purchased the house and lived here until about 1848. The building attained its present appearance as the result of several alterations. New York City purchased the building in 1862 to serve as the 3rd Police Precinct Station House.
