BEHR HOUSE, Brooklyn Heights

Forgotten New York -

Perhaps the handsomest building in Brooklyn Heights, the Herman Behr House is an exquisite Romanesque Revival mansion designed in 1890 by Frank Freeman. The massive style was popularized by Boston architect H.H. Richardson in the 1880s and is characterized by heavy masonry walls, a fortresslike design, terra cotta ornamentation, tile or slate roofs with gables [...]

HAMILTON HEIGHTS to HARLEM, Part 2

Forgotten New York -

Continued from Part 1 There are still some parts of Manhattan I haven’t been in with regularity since I began photographing this website in 1998, and the area in the West 140s from St. Nicholas Avenue west to Riverside Drive has been one of those. Funny because I’ve spent a lot of time in the [...]

ROBERT GAIR, DUMBO, Brooklyn

Forgotten New York -

Since I’m working for a few weeks in one of the many buildings constructed in DUMBO (or Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge Overpasses) by industrialist Robert Gair’s company, (he invented the corrugated cardboard box), here’s something about him, according to NYC Landmarks: Robert Gair became the dominant industrial presence in DUMBO in the [...]

MASONIC TEMPLE, Tottenville

Forgotten New York -

The cornerstone for the Masonic Temple for Huguenot Lodge #381 on Main Street south of Amboy Road was laid with great fanfare on June 12, 1909. There was a gathering of hundreds with marching bands, speechmaking and pageantry. The Huguenot Lodge was named for French Protestants forced to leave their country because of religious intolerance [...]

LIVING AMONG THE DEAD, Evergreens Cemetery

Forgotten New York -

Here’s one of the stranger stories concerning one of the major NYC cemeteries, Evergreens Cemetery, which is about evenly divided between Brooklyn and Queens, the westernmost burial city in the Cemetery Belt, which sprawls along the terminal moraine, or mountainous lands left by the retreat of the last glacier thousands of years ago, between the [...]

VANISHED MAILBOXES

Forgotten New York -

When I first started photography for Forgotten New York in 1998 there were still a number of these small mailboxes mounted on telephone poles, or even proprietary concrete posts, scattered in outlying areas around town, such as this one on West 254th Street in Riverdale, Bronx. In former years they were also mounted on castiron [...]

GIVAN HOUSE, Baychester

Forgotten New York -

There’s an unusual frame house on Mickle Avenue between Adee and Arnow Avenues that faces diagonally to the street on which it has an address. Usually, that’s a tipoff to an ancient or unusual history, and in this case, it doesn’t disappoint. ForgottenFan Don Gilligan, an area resident, writes, quoting the Chester Civic Newsletter: Recently, [...]

SIGNS THAT GOT AWAY: replaced during the FNY Era

Forgotten New York -

Forgotten New York, as of March 2014, has been around 16 years, and I’m glad I’m still alive, well, and contributing. Since I’m almost discussing the site in terms of decades now, I’ve been going through envelope after envelope full of photos taken beginning in 1998 and re-scanning several worthy ones from that time. One [...]

CHESTER ALAN ARTHUR, Madison Square

Forgotten New York -

With his muttonchop sideburns, President Chester Alan Arthur (1830-1886) looked the very model of a modern U.S. President (in the Victorian Age), which he was between 1881 and 1885. Born in Vermont but a transplanted New Yorker, he was elected as James Garfield’s vice-president and assumed office when Garfield was assassinated. As President, he reformed [...]

OVERLOOKED CROOK, Hamilton Heights

Forgotten New York -

Here’s a vintage Bishop Crook lamp that none of my reference materials cite — it’s completely forgotten and overlooked, on the west side of Riverside Drive between West 143rd and West 144th. It was installed anywhere between 1910 and 1940 and has lost its luminaire; the chocolate-colored paint has completely flaked off the crook, showing [...]

TRIMBLE ROAD, Woodside

Forgotten New York -

You may not think that this 1915 Belcher-Hyde map of the Woodside area around the Long Island Rail Road/Roosevelt Avenue transit complex (near old Shaw’s Hotel) has much relevancy today… after all, the streets are all numbered these days. And, taking a close look reveals very few buildings, marked by small yellow or purple boxes. [...]

SHAW’S HOTEL, Woodside

Forgotten New York -

Time hasn’t been kind to the tiny building once known as Shaw’s Hotel on 64th Street north of Woodside Avenue, hard by the Long Island Rail Road main branch. A couple of years ago, a huge condominium was constructed just inches away from it on the corner of the two cross streets. In recent months, [...]

WRONG WAY CORVINGTON, Maspeth

Forgotten New York -

The long-armed “Corvington” lamppost, originally dubbed the “boulevard post” first appeared around 1900, give or take a few years, and were manufactured to illuminate wider roads, such as Broadway north of Columbus Circle, that the narrow Bishop Crooks couldn’t handle. In the early days of the century, dozens of different lamppost designs appeared, but the [...]

I wish I knew the exact location of this photo from 1960, but I don’t.

Some of Staten Island’s most picturesque architecture can be found in Hamilton Park, a small subdivision of New Brighton, about 3/4 of the way from the Staten Island Ferry to Sailors’ Snug Harbor along Richmond Terrace. Two of the region’s most notable buildings are located on Pendleton Place. Bear in mind that this neighborhood has [...]

GROEBER TAILOR, Woodside

Forgotten New York -

Other than the grocery on the corner of 38th Avenue and 58th Street, the stretch of 58th between 37th and 38th is unrecognizable as the commercial strip it used to be. The east side is lined with tile and marble wholesalers, electrical contractors and other service enterprises. As you get toward 38th Avenue, though, there [...]

LAMSON HOUSE, Woodside

Forgotten New York -

There are a lot of historical gems hidden in Woodside, some of them hidden behind layers of modern aluminum siding — but some of them look pretty much the same as when they were built. This two-story peaked-roof house was constructed at 54-04 39th Avenue in about 1872, when the road was still known as [...]

Late November 2014. I decided to walk most of the length of one of those Bronx roads with classic names I hadn’t paid all that much attention to, yet its name harks back to a lot of history… of course, I hope its name never changes. It’s an east-west route running from Mosholu Parkway east [...]

Lighthouse Park is named for the gray gneiss rock 50-foot tall lighthouse (known officially as the Blackwell Island Light) built by architect James Renwick Jr., who also built the island’s Smallpox Hospital, in 1872. It replaced a small fort built by Thomas Maxey, a patient in the nearby “Octagon” lunatic asylum, the remains of which [...]

John Bunny was an early 20th Century comic actor and theatre impresario and appeared in over 100 silents in a little over five years, including a filmed version of Winsor McCay’s “Little Nemo” (1911) and Charles Dickens’ “Pickwick Papers” (1913). Bunny’s exuberant style and 300-lb. girth made him a fan favorite; he was so well-known [...]
