  1. More great pics, of the American #Horse Exchange #arena, before it became the #WinterGarden #Theatre (1911), & street view of "Times Station" entrance in the #NYTimes tower.
    Also of #EdenFarm, 70 acres #JohnJacobAstor bought in 1803 after bankruptcy. It ran from #Broadway (#Bloomingdale Road at the time) almost all the way to the #HudsonRiver, and from 42nd to 46th Streets.

  5. GREAT OLD PICS
    Long Acre (also #Longacre) Square was taken from #London's district for buying #horses & #carriages. Basically, the area was a huge #UsedCar market, before there were #cars. The #WinterGarden #Theatre (1911) was an #arena to watch your horse (1881)!
    City changes name 1904 bc #NYTimes is #building a #tower on the site. #Electricity & #StreetLights help make area safer, #NYC's first #subway opens 1904, #newspaper moves in 1905.
