Prior to its urbanization at the end of the nineteenth century, the West Side, stretching roughly from 23rd Street to 125th Street, was known as Blooming- dale. This appellation came from the early Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam who called the region "Bloemendael" in fond recollection of a flower-growing area of the same name near , Haarlem, in Holland. In the 1660s, Governor Nicholls, the first English governor of New York, granted a large parcel of land in the Bloomingdale district to a syndicate of five patentees. Known as the "thou­ sand acre tract," it was bounded roughly by the Hudson River and what are today 42nd Street, a point midway between 89th and 90th Streets, and Central Park West. The tract was surveyed and sub­ divided among the patentees. The territory which compromises the historic district fell within lots seven and eight, with the bulk of it being within lot seven.

  • PRATT INSTITUTE LIBRARY, 22 4-228 Ryerson Street, Borough of Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 22, 1981, Designation List 151 LP-2011 PRATT INSTITUTE LIBRARY, 22 4-228 Ryerson Street, Borough of Brooklyn. Built 1896: architect William B. Tubby. Landmark Site: Bor ough of Brooklyn, Tax Map Block 1919, Lot 1 in part consisting of the ±and on which the described building is situated. On October 9, 1979, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Pratt Institute Library and the pro­ posed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Pratt Institute Library, built in 1896 , is a handsome example of the Renaissance Revival style. Designed by William B. Tubby, the buildi ng was constructed to house the Pratt I nstitute Free Library, the first free public library in the city of Brooklyn. The library is located on the campus of Pratt Institute, founded by Charles Pratt for t he, training of artisans, foremen, designers, draftsmen, and other technicians. The school was an outgrowth of Pratt's interest in manual training and his belief that the best way to help others was to teach them how to help themselves. The type of technical training established at Pratt ~a s unprecedented in the United States at that time. Charles Pratt (1830-1891) was born in Watertown, Massachusetts. In 1851 he moved to New York City and worked for the firm of Schenck & Downing, dealers in paints and oils.

  • MXB Virtual Tour
    Projects & Proposals > Manhattan > Virtual Tour of Malcolm X Boulevard Archived Content This page describes Malcolm X Boulevard as it appeared in 2001. The tour was developed as part of the Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. Welcome! Welcome to Malcolm X Boulevard in the heart of Harlem! This online virtual tour highlights the landmarks of Harlem and is available in printable text form. Introduction: This tour was developed by the Department of City Planning as part of its Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. The project, which extends from West 110th to West 147th Street, seeks to complement the ongoing capital improvements for Malcolm X Boulevard and take advantage of the growing tourist interest in Harlem. The project proposes a program of streetscape and pedestrian space improvements, including new pedestrian lighting, new sidewalk and median landscaping and the provision of pedestrian amenities, such as seating and pergolas. The Department has been working with Cityscape Institute, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the Department of Design and Construction, and has received implementation funds totaling $1.2 million through the federal TEA21 Enhancement Funding program for the proposed pedestrian lighting improvements. As one element of the project, the Department developed this guided tour of the boulevard and neighboring blocks. The tour provides an overview of local area history, and highlights architecturally significant and landmarked buildings, noteworthy cultural and ecclesiastical institutions and other points of interest. A listing of former famous jazz clubs, such as the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom, is also provided. Envisioned as an information resource for residents and visitors, the tour is also available in printable text format for use as a hand-held guide for a self-guided walking tour along the boulevard.
