  • ASSOCIATION RESIDENCE for RESPECTABLE AGED INDIGENT FEMALES (Association Residence for Women), 891 Amsterdam Avenue, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 12, 1983 Designation List 164 LP-1280 ASSOCIATION RESIDENCE FOR RESPECTABLE AGED INDIGENT FEMALES (Association Residence for Women), 891 Amsterdam Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1881-83; Architect Richard Morris Hunt; addition 1907-08; Architect Charles A. Rich. Landmark Site: Borough of }1anhattan Tax Map Block 1855, Lot 50. On February 9, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hear­ ing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Association Residence for Respectable Aged Indigent Females (Association Residence for Homen), and the pro­ posed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Fourteen witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Association Residence for Respectable Aged Indigent Females, a prominent feature of the Manhattan Valley neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper West Side, was constructed in 1881-83 for one of New York City's oldest charitable institutions. The design, in a French-inspired style which recalls the Victorian Gothic, was by the "dean" of nineteenth-century American architects, Richard Monr.is Hunt. The building remains one of Hunt's few surviving significant New York City structures and a fine example of ninteenth-century institutional architecture. The Association In the midst of the nation's involvement in the War of 1812, a group of socially prominent New York City women formed an association in 1813 to aid women who were left poor wid ows by the current war or by the previous Revolutionary War.

  • The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont.” the Long Island Historical Journal 6 (Fall 1993):96-105
    Previously published in The Long Island Historical Journal. Revised and updated in July 2010 for website publication at www.spinzialongislandestates.com Please cite as: Spinzia, Raymond E. “In Her Wake: The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont.” The Long Island Historical Journal 6 (Fall 1993):96-105. In Her Wake: The Story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont by Raymond E. Spinzia . Factors which, in the mid 1840s, encouraged the establishment of estates on the South Shore of New York’s Long Island included: the comradery afforded by the Southside Sportsmen's Club, whose members were among the wealthiest individuals in the nation; the flat terrain, which made it ideally suited to horsemanship; and the sea breezes, which even today make it a sailor's paradise. The South Shore Gold Coast eventually extended from Babylon to Bayport. By and large, these estates were originally perceived as rustic hideaways for the rapidly increasing number of Manhattan and Brooklyn millionaires. Indeed, by the 1880s Long Island's South Shore was considered a chic place in which to vacation.1 William Kissam Vanderbilt Sr. was the most prominent of the South Shore millionaires and his wife, Alva, without doubt, was the most ambitious. Indeed it was Alva who propelled the Vanderbilt family into the rarefied air of society's famous “Four Hundred.” Alva Vanderbilt She was born on January 17, 1853, in Mobile, Alabama, to Murray Forbes Smith, a successful cotton broker, and Phoebe Desha Smith, the daughter of General and Tennessee Congressman Robert Desha. Her uncle was Kentucky's Governor Joseph Desha, from whom President Lyndon Baines Johnson could also trace his ancestry.2 A year or so prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, Alva's father moved his family to New York City.
