BUSINESS DISTRICT STREET by STREET 1879–1942 [Compiled and Transcribed by William J DICKINSON COUNTY HISTORY – CITY OF IRON MOUNTAIN – BUSINESS DISTRICT STREET BY STREET 1879–1942 [Compiled and Transcribed by William J. Cummings] Much of early Iron Mountain’s historic flavor and mystique still remains in today’s downtown area, often only as the site of a former building, sometimes hiding behind a remodeled façade of wood, metal and plastic, and sometimes miraculously unchanged over the decades. While passing along Stephenson Avenue and the adjoining side streets, try to imagine you are walking the streets of downtown Iron Mountain between 1879, when the city began as a small mining settlement on the east side of what is now called the Chapin Pit, and the 1920’s, when the Ford Motor Company built a major plant south of the city. The area surrounding the Ford Plant became first the Village of Kingsford and then the City of Kingsford. The two cities are conjoined along Woodward Avenue, with Iron Mountain to the north and Kingsford’s Ford Addition to the south. The Ford era, which began in 1920 and ended in 1951, had a major impact on the entire area, and many structures still standing in both communities are products of the early Ford years. During the early last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first two decades of the twentieth century, the west side of Stephenson Avenue was largely vacant. Thus, you will note the majority of buildings on that side of Iron Mountain’s principal thoroughfare are “modern,” many having been constructed during the late Forties, the Fifties and the Sixties. Portions of some of the older areas on the east side of Stephenson Avenue are of more recent construction due to a number of devastating fires over the decades or due to frame buildings being torn down for urban renewal. AREA ENCOMPASSED BY THE HISTORIC BUSINESS DISTRICT The area encompassed by Iron Mountain’s historic business district begins at the Chapin Pit at the north and ends with the 700 Block of South Stephenson Avenue on the south. The eastern boundary is Iron Mountain Street, formerly Iron Mountain Avenue, and the western boundary is Carpenter Avenue. Merritt Avenue, a north-south street located west of South Stephenson Avenue and east of Carpenter Avenue is also included. Streets running east to west contained in this area include (from north to south): Fleshiem Street, Brown Street, Ludington Street, Hughitt Street, A Street, B Street, and C Street. The organization of the information is by street, then block, then address, just as would be found in a city directory. The information contained herein is presented in the following order, much like a walking tour: 1.

  • Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.

  • History of Gangs in the United States
    1 ❖ History of Gangs in the United States Introduction A widely respected chronicler of British crime, Luke Pike (1873), reported the first active gangs in Western civilization. While Pike documented the existence of gangs of highway robbers in England during the 17th century, it does not appear that these gangs had the features of modern-day, serious street gangs. Later in the 1600s, London was “terrorized by a series of organized gangs calling themselves the Mims, Hectors, Bugles, Dead Boys [and they] fought pitched battles among themselves dressed with colored ribbons to distinguish the different factions” (Pearson, 1983, p. 188). According to Sante (1991), the history of street gangs in the United States began with their emer- gence on the East Coast around 1783, as the American Revolution ended. These gangs emerged in rapidly growing eastern U.S. cities, out of the conditions created in large part by multiple waves of large-scale immigration and urban overcrowding. This chapter examines the emergence of gang activity in four major U.S. regions, as classified by the U.S. Census Bureau: the Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. The purpose of this regional focus is to develop a better understanding of the origins of gang activity and to examine regional migration and cultural influences on gangs themselves. Unlike the South, in the Northeast, Midwest, and West regions, major phases characterize gang emergence. Table 1.1 displays these phases. 1 2 ❖ GANGS IN AMERICA’S COMMUNITIES Table 1.1 Key Timelines in U.S. Street Gang History Northeast Region (mainly New York City) First period: 1783–1850s · The first ganglike groups emerged immediately after the American Revolution ended, in 1783, among the White European immigrants (mainly English, Germans, and Irish).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. THE RISE OF CRIM'E IN THE PERIOD 1830-1860 PAuL DOLAN' One of the most absorbing subjects of the great middle period in American history is the social transition which was effected. The scope of such movement would demand greater treatment that could even be thought of in a brief survey, but perhaps a somewhat su- perficial discussion of one particular phase of this general topic may aid a bit in comprehending the full force of the movement. The chief characteristic of this period seems to be the relentless surge of man against his natural surroundings-especially that to the west of him, the great ever-present, ever-diminishing country "over yonder." This constant surging, disgourging, and engourg- ing mass movement could not help but leave its mark. We are not interested here with effects in the long run or evidences pointing to what was finally accomplished by this westward drive, but rather let us look at one of the phases of the movement, somewhat as one would at a particular mud geyser among the many phenomena at Yellowstone, and see how it reacts just a bit apart from the pano- ramic whole.
