  • Historic Lower Manhattan
    Historic Lower Manhattan To many people Lower Manhattan means financial district, where the large buildings are designed to facilitate the exchange of money. The buildings, streets and open spaces, however, recall events that gave birth to a nation and have helped shape the destiny of western civilization. Places such as St. Paul's Chapel and Federal Hall National Memorial exemplify a number of sites which have been awarded special status by the Federal Government. The sites appearing in this guide are included in the following programs which have given them public recognition and helped to assure their survival. National Park Service Since its inauguration in 1916, the National Park Service has been dedicated to the preservation and management of our country's unique national, historical and recreational areas. The first national park in the world—Yellowstone—has been followed by the addition of over 300 sites in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. National Park areas near and in Manhattan are: Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Hamilton Grange National Memorial, and General Grant National Memorial. National Historic Landmarks National Park Service historians study and evaluate historic properties throughout the country. Acting upon their findings the Secretary of the Interior may declare the properties eligible for designation as National National Parks are staffed by Park Rangers who can provide information As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Historic Landmarks. The owner of such a property is offered a certif­ to facilitate your visit to Lower Manhattan.

Before their arrival, downtown was part of a vast forest, a lush hunting ground for Native Americans that was inhabited by mountain lions, bobcats, beavers, white-tailed deer, and wild turkeys. Hunters followed the Wiechquaekeck Trail, a path through the center that today is more often referred to as Broadway. This section of the city still centers on commerce, much as Nieuw Amsterdam did. Wall Street is America’s strongest symbol of money and power; bulls and bears have replaced the wild beasts of the forest, and conservatively attired lawyers, stockbrokers, bankers, and businesspeople have supplanted the Native Americans and Dutch who once traded otter skins and beaver pelts on these very streets. A highlight of this tour is the Financial District’s architec- ture, in which the neighborhood’s modern edifices and grand historical structures are dramatically juxtaposed: Colonial, 18th-century Georgian/Federal, and 19th-century neoclassical buildings stand in the shadow of colossal modern skyscrapers.

  • Isabel Amiano
    isabel amiano www.isabelamiano.com.ar ARCHITECTURE NEW YORK New York in fact has three separately recognizable skylines: Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Manhattan (also known as Lower Manhattan), and Downtown Brooklyn. The largest of these skylines is in Midtown, which is the largest central business district in the world, and also home to such notable buildings as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and Rockefeller Center. The Downtown skyline comprises the third largest central business district in the United States (after Midtown and Chicago's Loop), and was once characterized by the presence of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Today it is undergoing the rapid reconstruction of Lower Manhattan, and will include the new One World Trade Center Freedom Tower, which will rise to a height of 1776 ft. when completed in 2010. The Downtown skyline will also be getting notable additions soon from such architects as Santiago Calatrava and Frank Gehry. Also, Goldman Sachs is building a 225 meter (750 feet) tall, 43 floor building across the street from the World Trade Center site. New York City has a long history of tall buildings. It has been home to 10 buildings that have held the world's tallest fully inhabitable building title at some point in history, although half have since been demolished. The first building to bring the world's tallest title to New York was the New York World Building, in 1890. Later, New York City was home to the world's tallest building for 75 continuous years, starting with the Park Row Building in 1899 and ending with 1 World Trade Center upon completion of the Sears Tower in 1974.

  • Chapter 3: History and Land Use of City Hall Park
    Chapter 3: History and Land Use of City Hall Park A. Background History Alyssa Loorya Introduction This section is edited from the forthcoming doctoral dissertation from Loorya on City Hall Park. Loorya’s work references several graduate student projects associated with the overall City Hall Park project, most notably the Master’s theses of Mark Cline Lucey (included as the next section) and Julie Anidjar Pai as well as reports by Elizabeth M. Martin, Diane George, Kirsten (Davis) Smyth, and Jennifer Borishansky. These reports are presented in Chapter 6. This section outlines the history of the City Hall Park area. To provide for proper context, a general history of the development of the lower Manhattan area is presented first to provide a more complete picture of overall project area. City Hall Park is a relatively small triangular parcel of land (8.8 acres) within New York City’s Manhattan Island. It is bounded to the north by Chambers Street, to the east by Park Row, to the west by Broadway. It began as a cow pasture and today houses the seat of government for the nation’s largest city. The general history of City Hall Park is fairly well documented though only in a single comprehensive source.1 The changing uses of City Hall Park from the beginning of the colonial periodFig. 3-1: of theCity midHall nineteenthPark Location century reflect 1 The Master’s Thesis City Hall Park: An Historical Analysis by Mark Cline Lucey, 2003, (below) chronicles the physical development of City Hall Park from the Dutch Colonial period to the mid-nineteenth century.

The number of parking permits was slashed by 46 percent, to 78,000 permits. By handing out fewer parking passes each year, the City is encouraging more civil servants to ride public transit, easing traffic congestion while freeing up parking spots for others. Despite the reduction in city-issued parking permits, the system remains broken. Each step in the process—from creation of the permits, to distribution and enforcement—is fatally flawed, creating a system wrought with abuse and lacking effective oversight. In the present study, researchers at Transportation Alternatives canvassed five New York City neighborhoods and found that a majority of permit holders—57 percent—were either agency permits used to park illegally—double-parking or ditching their cars on sidewalks and bus lanes, or totally bogus permits. The study found that 24 percent of permits on display were illicitly photocopied, fraudulent or otherwise invalid. Clearly, further reform is needed. Modernizing New York City’s two-tiered parking system can help local businesses by freeing up space for customers and deliveries.

    The Architectural Evolution of Lower Manhattan From About 1880 Streets Completely or Partially Demapped Douglas R. McKibben . Barley Street. Circa 1797, the name of what was later Duane Street between Greenwich Street and Rose Street. By 1803, the part east of Centre Street was called Colden Street. Both Barley and Colden Streets were merged into Duane Street in 1809. Batavia (New Batavia) Street ran east from Roosevelt Street to James Street. Originally known as Batavia Lane, it was renamed Batavia Street in 1817. Closed in 1948 for the Alfred E.
