Yours, ~5"c., • L . F. DUPARQUET & HUOT. J(/fW York Feb., 1888. DESCRIPTION OF RANGES . • These Ranges are made under the supervision of Mr. L. r. Du­ PARQUET, whose long experience in Paris and New York of over forty years in the manufacturing of the same, enables us to place before the public one of the most durable Ranges made, claiming that our, improyements which are continually adding to them makes them the most economical in fuel, while the work they' per­ form in cooking cannot be excelled. They are made mostly of wrought and sheet iron, the only casting being the top part.. The manner in which these Ranges are constructed saves at least thirty per cent over any other range, and the many refer­ ences given herein, will we think satisfy anyone upon investiga- . tion of their superiority over others in construction and durability, together with good cooking qualities and economy. NOTICE. Our responsibility ceases as soon as goods are delivered ill good order and condilion at Railroad Depot or 'vVharf in this City, and receipt taken for same. Boxing, when required, charged at cost. No goods insured, unless so ordered. Orders promptly and carefully filled.

A FAMILY RANGE, WITH BROILER COMBINED, Patented Feb. 11, 1879. , r ~ " < ., ( -- The above cut represents our combined FAMILY RANGE with OVEN for Broiling and Baking at the same time, the open oven showing the Broiler in use. The same oven can be used for Baking, by sliding back the blower (which closes the lIue used for carry­ ing off the smoke while Broiling), taking out the Gridiron, and placing over the space a cast-iron lid. The advantages which this offers over all others are: FmsT-Its combination of Broiler and Range, without additional space. SECOND-It can be used for Broiling and Baking at the same time. TmRo-There is no smoke or smell arising from it, as in the old style of Broiling over the !Ire. Clill and sea it before purchasing. 9 '1'HE _llAXHA1'l'AN RANGE. Palenled September 12, 1882. I 1 • 1 'Ve offer our Manhattan Raog~ as the most perfect range for Roasting, Broiling, and Baking. The above represents the fire ready £01' broiling 01' roasting. By opening the back damper and lowering the front blower all the S1l1oke or smell arising is carried away into the chimney. The old style of Ranges the broiling is done on top or front of fire, or on a special charooal fire; first, the smell and smoke arising fills the honse, second, an extra char""al fire haa to be made when using an extra broiler. In our Manhattan Range we avoid all that by sliding the cast iron partition dividing the oven with fire, the oven is ready for Broiling or Roasting. It can also be nsed for Baking by pulling forward the parti· tion. This range is made of same material as our French raoges, the water back being very large, it will supply all the hot water needed in a family.

They can be fitted to any size fire·place with a Water back. The Broiler can be set on either side, having a separate charcoal tire and connected by pipe to the fiue. These Ranges have no equal for Baking, Stewing and Roasting, the Fire-box is made in proportion to size so as to save coal and give sufficient heat. The Ovens are deep and high enough to oook a large piece of meat, the Vrarmelil under the Ovens are for baking lIIeringu"", <>r light Pastry.

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Map New York disappear to differing amounts of fanfare and 18) has a very medieval vibe and is the world’s largest make room for whatever it is we’ll be romanticizing in the unfinished cathedral—a much cooler destination than the future. Ain’t that the circle of life? The landmarks discussed eternally crowded St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Map 12). are highly idiosyncratic choices, and this list is by no means complete or even logical, but we’ve included an array of places, from world famous to little known, all worth visiting.

Coolest Skyscrapers Head downtown to view City Hall (Map 3) (1812), Most visitors to New York go to the top of the Empire State Tweed Courthouse (Map 3) (1881), Jefferson Market Building (Map 9), but it’s far more familiar to New Yorkers Courthouse (Map 5) (1877—now a library), the Municipal from afar—as a directional guide, or as a tip-off to obscure Building (Map 3) (1914), and a host of other court- holidays (orange & white means it’s time to celebrate houses built in the early 20th century.

C. 194604 12 To her WHO IS NEAREST AND DEAREST; WHOSE HEART HAS ENCOURAGED; WHOSE HAND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE ILLUSTRATION AND EMBELLISHMENT OF ALL MY LITERARY WORK, This Volume IS LOVINGLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. It has occurred to the author very often that a volume presenting the peculiar features, favorite resorts and distinguishing characteristics, of the leading cities of America, would Peculiarities of American cities. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.05993 Library of Congress prove of interest to thousands who could, at best, see them only in imagination, and to others, who, having visited them, would like to compare notes with one who has made their PECULIARITIES a study for many years. A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.

Built 1926-27; architect, Emery Roth, associate architect, Sylvan Bien Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1305, Lot 20 On July 19, 2016 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Beverly Hotel (now The Benjamin Hotel) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. Six people spoke in support of designation including representatives of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer; Manhattan Community Boards 5 and 6, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Municipal Art Society and the Historic Districts Council. Three people spoke in opposition to designation including two representatives of the owners and the representative of the Real Estate Board of New York.

  • List of New York's Baseball Sites
    LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.
