    GRACIE MANSION, East End Avenue at 88Th Street in Carl Schurz Park, Borough of Manhattan

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 20, 1966, Number 1 LP-0179 GRACIE MANSION, East End Avenue at 88th Street in Carl Schurz Park, Borough of Manhattan. Begun 1799, completed 1801; north addition 1810. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1592, Lot l in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On March 8, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Gracie Mansion and the proposed desig­ nation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of l aw. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including the Park Commissioner Thomas • Hoving. There were no speakers in opposition to designation~ DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Located in Carl Schurz Park on the East River at East Eighty Eighth Street is one of the finest Federal Style country seats r emaining to us from that early period. Standing on a promontory, once known as "Gracie's Point," the large two­ story frame house is enclosed, at first floor l evel, by a porch surmounted by a handsome Chinese hippendale railing, a near duplicate of the balustrade surrounding the hipped roof above. On the river side the house boasts ~~ exceedingly fine Federal doorway with leaded glass sidelights and a semi-circular lunette above the door, flanked by oval rosettes set between delicate wood consoles. As tradition would have us believe, this work, consisting of additions made b,y Archibald Gracie about 1809, may well represent the efforts of the noted architect, Major Charles Pierre L'Enfant.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTOF PARKS BOROUGH OF THE BRONX CITY OF NEW YORK JOSEPH P. HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000.

This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well.
