  • Scandal, Murder, and the Mercyhurst Gates
    Scandal, Murder, and the Story of the Mercyhurst Gates By Steven Mooradian Public History 2021, Archival Assistant The twenty-foot-tall iron gates that stand at the 38th Street entrance to Mercyhurst University, are a familiar sight for all associated with the institution. Designed in the French Renaissance style, the gates have been a permanent fixture of the university’s architecture since they were installed in 1950. Their arrival at Mercyhurst, however, is less than simple. The gates belonged to the estate of eccentric Pittsburgh millionaire Harry K. Thaw, who among other things, was responsible for one of the most notorious murders of the 20th century. In an opportune purchase, the iconic gates have been reborn as an iconic symbol of education and prosperity. Inheriting a fortune worth $3 million after his father’s death in 1889, Harry Kendall Thaw, lived a wealthy man’s life. After a brief stint at the University of Pittsburgh, he attended Harvard, although he did not graduate, sometimes joking that he “studied poker”. Thaw was known for frequently throwing elaborate parties, both at his estate in Pittsburgh and on his travels to Europe. He was wildly eccentric, often going on drinking binges, lighting cigars with $100 bills, and spending large sums of money on gambling ventures. Harry K. Thaw Thaw was a notorious playboy and a routine guest at brothels across Europe. Splitting his time in the US between Pittsburgh and New York City, Thaw became a fan of Broadway, even if it was only to “study the chorus girls”, as he liked to put it.

  • Evelyn Nesbit Portrait, New Jersey
    EPISODE 5 2004 - EVELYN NESBIT PORTRAIT, NEW JERSEY Elyse: Our next story provides a surprising insight into the decadent world of New York’s high society at the turn of the 20th century. It’s 1901. New York City is bustling with the excitement of a growing metropolis. For the city’s elite, it was an indulgent time of lavish parties and glamorous affairs. Attracted by the promise of wealth and fame, a young starry-eyed woman arrives in the big city. But one nightmarish event changes her life forever. In full view of a crowd of theater-goers her insanely jealous husband fires three shots into the face of her former lover, killing him instantly. Her name is Evelyn Nesbit and the scandal rocks the foundations of New York’s high society. Her face is seen on the front pages of newspapers across the nation. Almost 100 years later, Sarah Powell of New Jersey has a painting of a beautiful woman whose identity has remained a mystery for years. Could this be a previously unknown portrait of Evelyn Nesbit? Sarah Powell: I inherited this painting from my mother and she inherited it from her father. It’s always been a mystery to me who this woman is. I did see him walk by it one day and he looked right at it and said, “Yup. That’s her. She’s the one. She’s the one they were fighting over. Elyse: I’m Elyse Luray, Tukufu Zuberi have come to New Jersey to take a look at Sarah’s painting.

    Evan Hughes, “The Architect, The “It” Girl, & the Toy Pistol that Wasn’t” The Awl, January 17, 2012 http://www.theawl.com/2012/01/the-architect-the-it%E2%80%9D-girl-and-the-toy-pistol-that-wasnt One warm June night in 1906, Albert Payson Terhune could be found engaged in battle for a telephone booth in the old Madison Square Garden while wearing a tuxedo. He had forcibly removed a man mid-conversation, and now, as he shouted into the phone, he kicked out a leg and swung his free arm to fend off the displaced caller and another man wielding a chair. Moments before and one floor above, Terhune, filling in as a drama critic for the New York Evening World, had been a witness to the crime of the century, and he was calling in the scoop. The movie version of his half of the conversation would go something like this: "Right, yes, that Stanford White. It’s about Evelyn Nesbit!" Stanford White, a driven and charismatic man, was a founding partner of McKim, Mead and White, a firm responsible for an absurdly large portion of New York’s grandest architecture. Their legacy includes Columbia University’s main campus, the James Farley Post Office, the Brooklyn Museum, the Morgan Library, all still standing, and most famously the original Penn Station (demolished in 1963). Evelyn Nesbit had arrived in New York as a teenager with her debt-laden mother and acquired some notice as a model and a chorus girl. A familiar path, but in her case both the initial innocence and the heat of the spotlight were particularly pronounced.
