One of them began in today’s Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx. Ask people what they know about it, and most would reply that they never heard of it. Even most lovers of history and professional historians overlook it or give it short shrift. Yet historians of The Bronx and Westchester County have studied the engagement in some detail and have insisted that it was a military encounter of great significance for the course of the Revolution and for the fate of the future United States. As such, there is controversy about the importance of that military encounter. Even the name is in dispute. Most Westchester County historians refer to it at the “Battle of Pelham,” the “Battle of Pelham Manor,” or the “Battle of Pelham Bay.” Bronx historians prefer the “Battle of Pell’s Point.” Some historians insist that it should not even be given the status of a “battle,” but instead be referred to as a mere “skirmish.” Therefore, we ought to examine this military encounter to try to determine what was at stake in it, what happened, what was its result, and what was its ultimate importance. To do so, we have to return to the month of October 1776. During that month, the British forces were on the move. The strategy of their commander, General Sir William Howe, was to try to trap George Washington and his rag-tag collection of Continental soldiers augmented by local militia units, to capture them all, and to put an end to the pesky rebellion that had so disrupted the mighty British Empire. Since August, with a combination of skill and a large dose of good luck, Washington had eluded Howe’s grasp. The first time, in August, the American commander successfully evacuated

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.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 22, 2010, Designation List 430 LP-2388 HAFFEN BUILDING, 2804-2808 Third Avenue (aka 507 Willis Avenue), the Bronx Built 1901-02; Michael J. Garvin, architect Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx Tax Map Block 2307, Lot 59 On December 15, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Haffen Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The Haffen Building is a seven-story Beaux-Arts style office building designed by architect Michael J. Garvin and erected in 1901 to 1902 by brewery owner Mathias Haffen. The building is located in the western Bronx neighborhood of Melrose, an area predominantly populated by German- Americans during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Haffen Building was part of the rapid development of the “the Hub,” the commercial center of Melrose, which centered on the intersection of East 149th Street, Melrose, Willis and Third Avenues. By the turn of the 20th century, the Haffen family was one of the main families of the Bronx, having made essential contributions to the physical and social infrastructure of the Bronx including surveying and laying out of parks and the streets, developing real estate, and organizing of a number of civic, social, and financial institutions. Mathias Haffen was active in real estate development in Melrose and, in 1901, chose a prominent, through- block site between Third and Willis Avenues in the Hub to erect a first- class office building for banking and professional tenants.

  • New York's Post Industrial Waterfront: a Lesson in Environmental Gentrification and Environmental Inequality
    New York's Post Industrial Waterfront: A Lesson in Environmental Gentrification and Environmental Inequality Kara Murphy Schlichting Department of History, Queens College, City University of New York In 2011, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that New York City had six boroughs: Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, of course, but he counted the city’s 520-mile long waterfront as well. Bloomberg encouraged New Yorkers to imagine this space as a single unit of public space (Barrett 2016; New York City Department of Planning 2011). In the twenty-first century, the industrial past had finally given way to a reconfigured shoreline of green amenities. Figure 1. The East River at Brooklyn Bridge Park, 2019. Source: Caroline Culler, “View of Brooklyn Bridge Park from Manhattan Bridge,” photograph, 28 June 2019. (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_of_Brooklyn_Bridge_Park_from_Manhat tan_Bridge.jpg) But what of the city’s postindustrial waterfronts that have not gentrified? The South Bronx shoreline along the Harlem River is one such space. While Bloomberg’s administration courted environmental gentrification on the East River waterfronts of Queens and Brooklyn, the South Bronx did not experience a similar transformation. The concept of political ecology posits that there is an essential relationship between political, economic, and social factors and environmental issues. Building on this framework, I examine environmental gentrification, or the lack thereof, as a function of political ecology (Swyngedouw 1996). Postindustrial 1 interpretations of the Harlem River’s environment reveal the importance of ideas of nature— both polluted and reclaimed—in the rebuilding of New York’s waterfront. Figure 2.

  • Fort Sewall History and Research Project
    Grants Fund Historical Research in 2020 th for 375 Anniversary of Fort Sewall in 2019 Established in 1644, 375 years ago, Marblehead’s Fort Sewall is beloved for its spectacular views over Marblehead Harbor and beyond. But, it is also rare and important as one of only a very few early coastal defensive earthwork forts from the 1600s still existing on the North American continent. This summer, preservation and site renovations to improve visitor accessibility are well underway. Approved by town-wide vote last year, the work is managed by McGinley Kalsow & Associates Inc., and is overseen by the Town’s Fort Sewall Oversight Committee. In addition to the voter-approved funding for the improvements, the preservation work is supported by $210,000 in grant awards from state agencies (the Massachusetts Cultural Council through its Cultural Facilities Fund and MassDevelopment, as well as the Massachusetts Historical Commission through its Preservation Projects Fund) as well as by generous individual donations. The donations will also support a summer Fort Ranger docent program and an endowment for ongoing fort maintenance. The Fort Sewall Oversight Committee is also pleased to announce that three grants totaling nearly $10,000 for historical research and education about the fort were awarded this year by two phil- anthropic historical organizations: the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati and the Massachusetts Society of Colonial Wars (with a match from the parent organization, the General Society of C. Wars). The research will result in a comprehensive report about the fort’s evolution over nearly three centuries, from its establishment in 1644 until 1922, when national U.S.
