ou need only say, "Fifth Avenue" — New York is understood, and this 
is true whether you say it to the miner in Alaska, the alfalfa grower 
in the Great Southwest, or the farmer in Pennsylvania. There are 
many cities having streets called Fifth Avenue. There is but one 
Fifth Avenue. Fifth Avenue with its millionaire's row; Fifth Avenue with its multi- 
million-dollar residences; Fifth Avenue with its magnificent clubs; Fifth Avenue 
with its luxurious shops; the most luxurious in the new world, perhaps in all 
the world. 

Fifth Avenue is rightly the City's most notable thoroughfare, for it is the City's 
divisor. From it the side streets take their inception, starting from one side of 
the Avenue all streets bear the name East, from the other side. West. 

One of the most delightful and interesting diversions for strangers visiting the city 
is a trip up Fifth Avenue from Washington Square on one of the Fifth Avenue 
motor stages. It is also inexpensive, for it costs but ten cents, and that entitles 
one to a seat, no passengers being taken after the seats are filled. The stages are 
comfortably upholstered for those that prefer to ride inside, and the large windows 
permit of a fine view of the places of interest, but the winding stairway, where 
the guard is always stationed to assist the passenger, invites one to the top, where 
the seats, arranged for two, face forward, giving an unequaled view of the avenue 
and its trafiic. The sensation produced by one's first ride on the upper deck of 
these stages is unique. 

As a person rides atop of a Fifth Avenue 'Bus along this notable Avenue he sees in 
the lower section the substantial, well kept homes of quiet dignity; further uptown 
those of superb architecture and enormous cost; naturally the query is constantly 
arising in his mind. "Who lives in that house.^" To this question it is believed 
that this book will present the answer. 

Obviously it is, if not impossible, at least inexpedient, to show the illustrations 
of all the houses along this thoroughfare. The aim, however, has been to include 
many houses which are notable, either by reason of its beautiful architecture, or 
by the prominence of its occupant, and for t'le latter reason a few houses have been 
included which would have no part in a atiok devoted solely to beautiful houses. 

It is confidently believed that a trip along the Avenue with this book as a guide 
will result in a knowledge of the residents and residences of Fifth Avenue, such as 
few people heretofore have possessed.

'^^^^^^HE lapse of a century occasions small change in Old World communities. 
^ (T"^ I" America, however — particularly in this Metropolis, New York — the 
I J passing of one hundred years witnesses developments so great as to be 

^^^^^^ almost unbelievable. Scattered through the City many old residents 
^^"^^ may be found who remember hill and dale, marsh and lake where now 
can be seen nothing but solid stretches of asphalt and masonry. 

And no section has witnessed so striking a development as that which we now call 
Fifth Avenue. 

A century ago Fifth Avenue was not a home of fashion and wealth. The Avenue 
had no existence. It is true that the much derided map makers of 1807 had laid 
out such a thoroughfare, but the country traversed was a veritable wilderness, and 
prophecies were freely made that a thousand years would not witness the comple- 
tion of the City, as planned in the maps. As the plans only contemplated a City 
extending North to the Harlem River, it will be seen that the prophets of the day 
were far astra,N'. 

Although Fifth Avenue had no existence there was the famous Middle Road which, 
to some extent, followed the course of the Avenue of to-day. This road forked 
from the Eastern Post Road at what is now 29th Street and Fourth Avenue, 
journeyed Northwesterly to what is now Fifth Avenue and 42(1 Street. Here it 
connected with Lowes Lane, by which travelers were lead again to the Eastern 
Post Road. 

A walk along this highway as far as Ji2d Street would have well repaid the traveler 
a himdred years ago. From its junction with the Eastern Turnpike the Middle 
Road rose gradually to an impressive height, skirted Murray Hill and gave a fine 
view of the surrounding country. 

Everythmg, of course, was farm land. The days of the old Dutch "Boueries" 
were past, and, in their places were a number of prosperous, well kejjt farm houses 
with abundant acres, nearly all being occupied by families well known in this City 
to-day — the Murrays, Sehieffelins, Crugers, and Kips, to meution only a few of 
the names found on the old farm maps. Of all these coimtry seats, perhajis the 
most famous was that of John Murray, which was bordered by a clear brook of 
no mean proportions, which after emptying into the translucent waters of Sunfish 
Pond flowed into Kip's Bay. 

"Incleberg," Mr. Murray's country seat, stood not far from what is now Fifth 
Avenue and 31st Street, and it was here that Mrs. Murray entertained the British 
officers with the best of wines and her own charming presence long enough to per- 
mit Putnam's army to retreat Northward and to join Washington's troops at 
Harlem Heights. 

The point at which tlie Britisli landed. Kip's Bay (i51st Street and East River), 
would have been v^silde a hundred years ago from the Middle Road, as would also 
Kip's Farm, extending along the River as far as 47th Street, with its hills, its 
abundant woodland, its marsh and meadow and its sparkling streams. 

At what is now 42d Street, Middle Road ended and the last semblance of 
Fifth Avenue as we know it disappeared. Beyond this the country was more 
barren and rocky, and perhaps the most refreshing feature of the landscape was a 
rapid stream which runs from the living rock in the block now bounded by Fifth 
and Sixth Avenues and 4Gth and 47th Streets. It flowed East through the section 
now covered by the Windsor Arcade, skirted Murray Hill and emptied into Kip's 
Bay. And that stream, as Fifth Avenue builders can tell you, flows yet, even 
though submerged beneath tons of asphalt, brick and mortar. 

The ensuing fifty years brought many changes to this Fifth Avenue district. We 
would find a few remnants of the old roads distinguishable here and there, perhaps, 
but the enterprising City Fathers, although somewhat in advance of their time, 
had cut the Avenue and side streets through, and the whole section was ripe for 
development. 



It must be admitted, however, that at the close of the first half of the last century. 
Fifth Avenue gave but little promise of its distinguished future. The Avenue was 
then at the hobble-de-hoy stage, midway between the charm of its youth and the 
magnificence of its maturity — an age, which in localities as in people, offers little 
that is pleasing or interesting. Opposite the site later occupied by the Reservoir, 
and where is now the New York Public Library was a rugged jjrec-ipicc 
of rocks, crowned with disreputable shanties. East of the Avenue, and in full 
view of it, were the tracks of the Harlem Railroad. On the present site of the 
Belmont Hotel stood a blacksmith shop. The Colored Orphan Asylum, 
which was soon to witness its own grim tragedy, was located between 43d and 
•14tli Streets, while the two blocks from 44th Street to 4Gth Street were covered 
by cattle yards. Processions of cattle driven up and down Fifth Avenue were 
familiar sights; and the diner at Delmonico's now eats his filet, not inappropriately, 
on the site of an old abattoir. 

The scene North was not more promising than that South. From 51st Street to 
o'id Street, now occupied by the Vanderbilt houses, was a large nursery garden, 
while still further North lay a large stretch of rocky territory devoted to goat farms. 
Distinctly, this was the City's Sahara. "What shall we do with this useless 
country?" A few years later the problem was solved by transforming the bad 
lands into Central Park. 

In all this confusion, the far-seeing predicted a bright future. About this time 
there was a sale of corporate property. Garrit Storm, a prosperous merchant, 
])urchased the block bounded by Fifth and Sixth avenues, 42d and 43d Streets, 
for $45,000. Mr. Storm was evidently somewhat nervous about his bargain, 
for he offered to share it with his brother Stephen, who, however, refused to put 
his money into such rubbish. This block, now worth many millions of dollars, 
is still held by the Garrit Storm heirs. One of them is Mrs. Elbridge T. Gerry; 
another was Dean Eugene A. Iloffnum, who left a fortune in real estate valued 
at $10,000,000. The foundation of his wealth was his share in the 42d Street 
block. 

At the corner of 47th Street and extending to 51st Street on the North and almost 
to Sixth Avenue on the West, were the Elgin Botanic Gardens, covering twenty 
acres of land. In 1814 this tract was deeded by the State to Columbia College 
to compensate that institution for a New Hampshire township granted long before, 
hut lost when the claim of New York to that territory was relinquished. For 
many years befoi-e the transfer, the Elgin Gardens had borne a graceful part 
in the intellectual and social life of the City. They were laid out in 1801 by 
Dr. Hosack, Professor of Botany at Columbia, for the use of his students in their 
work, and such well known scientists as Le Conte, Michaux, Barton and others 
were frequently to be seen there. Science kindly shared with fashion the beauty 
of this early park, for when the favorite residence districts were St. Marks Place, 
Washington and Stuyvesant Squares and Gramercy Park, the gardens lay at a 
convenient distance for the afternoon drive. The gift of the Gardens bore the 
condition that the college should be removed to that site, and, though this was 
later annulled, it is a fact that when the college in 1857 removed to 49th Street 
and Madison Avenue, it was expected that so soon as buildings could be completed, 
the college would occupy the site of the Elgin Gardens. These immensely valuable 
acres which formed the major jjortion of the College's endowment, were not joy- 
ously received. They were at the time referred to by the College authorities as 
"A few miles out of the City, and though estimated by the Legislature to be 
worth $75,000, would not, upon sale, bring more than $6,000 or $7,000." 

Another romance of fortunate purchase concerns the block on which the Windsor 
Arcade now stands. This land appears on old maps as part of the farm of Thomas 
Buchanan, a prominent merchant of New York, who married the daughter of 
Jacob Townsend of Oyster Bay. Tradition says that when Mr. Buchanan de- 
sired to live in New York, his young wife was unwilling to give up the comforts of 
the country to which she was accustomed, and especially desired a home which 
would permit the keeping of the family cow. To humor this wish Mr. Buchanan 
bought this farm, which has since become one of the costliest portions of the 
earth's crust. The two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan married the Goelet 
brothers.

The latter half of the Nineteenth Century has witnessed a period of development 
which has made Fifth Avenue one of the most remarkable thoroughfares of the 
world, which has enabled it to compare to its advantage, with London's Bond 
Street and Regent Street, with the Rue de La Paix of Paris, with the Ring of 
Vienna, and with Unter den Linden of Berlin. 

Possibly no street in any city of the world has been so expensively built as this 
Avenue between 14th and 59th Streets, which in the lifetime of a single generation 
has been an unimproved waste, a street of stately homes, and finally a centre of 
luxurious trade. 

along f iftl) abenuc 

't.vrting at the beginning of things he that would see Fifth Avenue 
finds himself in Washington Square, which, occupying the site of the old 
Potter's Field, removed from Madison Square in 1797, has now for 
many years served the purpose of separating the abodes of fashion and 
prosperity from the slums to the southward. It was in view of the 
social conditions existing in the district below Washington Square that the south 
side was chosen as the site of the Mission Church and School erected to the 
memory of the late Adoniram Judson, the first foreign missionary sent out from 
tlie United States. Its great yellow campanile, surmounted by a cross which is 
illuminated at night, dominates the Square, and its parochial work has, since its 
establishment in 1892, done much to redeem the character of the neighborhood. 
The large building on the east side of the Square is the property of the New York 
Lniversity and houses on its upper floors its schools of law, pedagogy, commerce, 
accounts and finance. It replaces a beautiful old grey stone building in the 
Tudor style which was moved to the new site of the University in the Borough 
of the Bronx. 

The fine old houses on the north side of the Square — many of them still occupied 
by leading New York families— occupy land which was formerly the farm of 
Captain Richard Robert Randall, who in 1801 bequeathed it to the Sailors' Snug 
Harbor, a home for superannuated seamen. The rentals from this farm propert\', 
which is many acres in extent, are more than $500,000 a year, and provide more 
income than can possibly be used by the "Harbor" in the maintenance of its 
beautiful home on Staten Island. 

The north side of the Square and the small section at the beginning of the avenue 
have preserved their residential character and exclusiveness to a degree that has 
not been maintained by any other portion of the avenue south of Central Park. 

Washington Arch, the commanding feature of the Square, and the City's most 
notable monument, is the perpetuation in marble of the temporary arch iii plaster 
designed by Stanford White for the celebration in 1889 of Washington's inaugura- 
tion. It is 77 feet high and has a span of 30 feet. Its cost, $128,000, was raised 
by popular subscription. 

10th Street N. W. corner. The Church of the Ascension, Episcopal. The pulpit 
of which hafl l)cen occupied by some of the leading divines of this faith in this 
country. 

12th Street. The First Presbyterian Church, founded in 1716, the oldest church 
of that denomination in New York. 

From 13th Street to 23d Street, which only a few years ago was almost exclusively 
devoted to residences, churches and clubs, lofty business buildings, occupied largely 
for wholesale trade purposes, are now the rule. 

The Fuller or "Flat Iron" Building at 23d Street (better known by the latter 
name from the form of its ground plan) has a world-wide fame because of its unique 
architectural characteristics, and it is also noted as having produced the windiest 
corner in New York. 

The Fifth Avenue Building on the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 23d 
Street, has only recently replaced the old Fifth x\ venue Hotel, which from its open- 
ing in 1859 was celebrated as the stopping place of the most notable visitors to 
New York. 



Madison Square Park was laid out as a Potter's Field in 1794. The United States 
government erected an arsenal thereon in 1806. 

Tlie east side of Madison Square is notable for its buildings. The entire block 
from ^Sd Street to '24th Street is occupied by the great office building and tower of 
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The tower is the highest structure 
in the world, being fifty stories and 700 feet above the pavement. 
The Madison Square Presbyterian Church (Dr. Parkhurst's) just north of the 
Metropolitan tower is a fine example of Byzantine architecture. 

The Appellate Division Court House at the north east corner of 25ih Street and 
Madison Square is one of New York's most notable buildings because of its archi- 
tecture, sculpture and mural decorations. It was completed in 1900 at a cost of 
$750,000. 

The Manhattan Club at the S. E. corner of iJ6th Street and Madison Square, the 
conservative Democratic organization of the City, occupies the former home of the 
University Club. It has a very distinguished membership. 

Madison Square Garden, occupying the entire block at the northeast corner of 
Madison Square and ''26th Street, is the largest amusement building in America. 
Designed by Stanford White and completed in 1890, at a cost of $3,000,000, it is 
one of the most beautiful buildings in New York. Its tower, surmounted by a 
statue of Diana, is an adaptation of the Giralda in Seville, Spain. 

Returning to Fifth Avenue the Cafe Martin, at the southwest corner of !26th Street, 
occupying the building which for many years was Delmonico's, is the French 
restaurant par excellence of New York. 

The Brunswick Building, on the north side of Madison Square, stands on the site 
of the Hotel Brunswick, whicli for many years was New York's most fashionable 
hotel. 

29th Street. The Calumet Club at the northeast corner of 29th Street is one of 
the fashionable clubs for young men. 

The Church of the Transfiguration on '29th Street just east of Fifth Avenue, is 
better known as "The Little Church Around the Corner." 

The Marble Collegiate Church at the northwest corner of 30th Street (Dutch
