CAXTON BUILDING, Chelsea

Forgotten New York -

I have worked on and off in the Chelsea area for years, first at a typesetter called ANY Phototype (1988-1991), then at Macy’s as a copywriter (2000-2004) and here I am again working for a few weeks in the spring of 2015 at Fitch Group, a printing firm that has been in business for about [...]

What Type(s) of Insurance Should I Have for my Practice?

Everyone wants to feel a sense of financial security – peace of mind that should something unexpected happen in life that you, your family or your business be protected. There are many types of insurance that can help you protect yourself and your thriving practice. Sometimes overlooked by some dental practitioners are life insurance and disability income insurance, both of which offer significant value in meeting a range of protection needs.

Learn more about how these two types of insurance can help your dental practice.

WHAT BECAME OF CYPRESS HILLS’ TAXIDERMIST?

Forgotten New York -

There are some parts of town that your ancient Webmaster doesn’t get around to all that much. Cypress Hills is one of those; I do visit National Cemetery from time to time, and I recently swung through to complete my Fulton Street series. What comforted me about Cypress Hills, though, is that I was pretty [...]

NEW TWINS, Bryant Park

Forgotten New York -

The Twinlamp, originally produced for use on 5th Avenue at the dawn of the electrified lamppost era in the 1890s, originally had a different design (the mast of one of those originals can still be seen at the NE corner of 5th Avenue and East 23rd Street at Madison Square). Later, a modified design that [...]

TRANSIT MUSEUM PIECES, Downtown Brooklyn

Forgotten New York -

In January 2015 before my team actually lost the annual Transit Museum Trivia Challenge we had won the previous year (our cleanup guy was out with appendicitis) I once again wandered around the venerable depository of NYC transit history, replete with ancient subway cars and station ornamentation, turnstiles, signs and exhibits, and was re-fascinated by [...]

OCEAN AVENUE BRIDGE, Sheepshead Bay

Forgotten New York -

Spanning Sheepshead Bay just west of Ocean Avenue is a weird, wooden bridge with a low fence that looks as if you could easily jump over it into the bay, or even get knocked over if sufficiently jostled. The bridge has a very old pedigree: it was first opened by Long Island Rail Road king [...]

INTO THE LIGHT in Inwood

Forgotten New York -

At Dyckman Street The IRT emerges from, and enters, a tunnel under High Bridge Park inscribed with the title “Fort George” and the dates 1776 and 1905. Fort George, originally Fort Clinton, was built by US patriots at about where George Washington High School stands at Audubon Avenue and West 192nd Street. Though the British [...]

SCENES FROM FORGOTTENTOUR #88, Coney Island

Forgotten New York -

Picture perfect weather ruled on Sunday, April 12th for our ForgottenTour in Coney Island, unlike the previous tour in March which featured 35-degree weather and snow almost throughout. The tour featured the usual suspects of Coney Island touring such as the famed Wonder Wheel, boardwalk and Nathan’s, but with wild cards only a ForgottenTour can [...]

BROOKLYN FIRE DEPARTMENT HQ, Downtown

Forgotten New York -

This magnificent double-towered, triple-turreted former Brooklyn Fire Department headquarters on Jay Street just north of Willoughby contrasts with the rather less exuberant office buildings surrounding it. Built in 1892 by Frank Freeman, it is a prime example of the Romanesque Revival movement of that time. For some time, it was used as housing for people [...]

THROG(G)S NECK, Bronx

Forgotten New York -

Like “orthopaedic”/”orthopedic”, Throgs Neck in the Bronx can be spelled differently depending on where you’re from. The neighborhood in the southeast Bronx was named for a very early British settler, John Throckmorton, who arrived in the peninsula now capped by Fort Schuyler and the State University of New York Maritime College in 1642. Throckmorton had had religious [...]

QMT BULLET SIGN, Downtown Brooklyn

On FNY’s April 20, 2015 post I took a look at a relatively new Queens Midtown Tunnel bullet sign right next to the tunnel entrance in Murray Hill. FNY’s roving correspondent, Gary Fonville, passes along a photo of a much older QMT bullet located in the center median of Tillary Street running east at Prince [...]

GRAND CENTRAL to UNION SQUARE

Forgotten New York -

It was a Saturday, the warmest day of the spring yet, and I had come to Manhattan’s east side to search for relics. The #7 train was running between Queens and Manhattan as it hadn’t for most of the winter weekends and the streets were jammed with people released from their apartments, as well as [...]

RIVERSIDE DRIVE’S firefighter memorial

Forgotten New York -

The Firemen’s Memorial, designed by H. Van Buren Magonigle and sculpted in 1912 by Attilio Piccirilli, is a large marble slab surrounded by an approach of steps, two balustrades and allegorical figures representing Sacrifice (shown as a woman embracing the body of her dead husband) and Duty (shown as a mother standing by a fire [...]

CAR 6239, Grand Central

Forgotten New York -

This is the sole remaining R-15 car unit, #6239, remaining in the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority collection. It was built in 1950 by American Car and Foundry, and primarily served the IRT Flushing Line until the R33/36 “World’s Fair” cars, later painted maroon and dubbed “Redbirds” were purchased. It remained in occasional service until 1984 [...]

GASLAMP, Little Neck

Forgotten New York -

Even though I have been in Little Neck since 2007, I only discovered this curiosity on a lawn on 41st Road near Little Neck Parkway a few days ago. This post greatly resembles curbside NYC gaslamps in use in the late 1800s and early 1900s, at least from old photos and a couple of still-extant [...]

CHANDLER PIANO, Downtown Brooklyn

Forgotten New York -

Here’s a rare case of a so-called “faded ad” that’s not faded at all — in fact, it looks as fresh as it did when it was painted over a century ago. Chandler Piano and Chandler-Ebel Music, located at 222 Livingston Street east of Hoyt, was associated with Boston’s largest 19th Century piano manufacturer, Ivers [...]

Every house has a story and there are plenty of beautiful houses to be found in Prospect Park South, where FNY toured in spring 2011 — have 4 years passed since then? This magnificent Tudor was commissioned by Charles Stillwell, an associate of Thomas Edison. Stillwell, an inventor himself, unsuccessfully experimented with an incandescent bulb, [...]

SCENES FROM FORGOTTENTOUR #87, Flushing Meadows

When you schedule a tour on March 28th, you expect 50 to 55-degree weather, but there’s always the chance for something else. FNY’s third tour of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in three years was the first ever to be held in a steady snowfall, but with the thermometer above freezing, there was nothing but wet [...]

TROLLEY POLE, East Flatbush

I haven’t been down this stretch of Church Avenue in East Flatbush since I was a kid, when my parents and I would take the B35 bus almost all the way out to Brownsville. Previously I had no idea this decommissioned trolley pole was still there at the SW corner of Schenectady Avenue, and this [...]

PACIFIC STREET STATION

It occurs to me that the Pacific Street station on the BMT has joined the likes of 33rd/Rawson, or Woodhaven Boulevard/Slattery Plaza, or 39th Avenue/Beebe Avenue in sporting outmoded signs or tilework. The station is one of three that converge in downtown Brooklyn: the BMT 4th Avenue Line carrying N/R/D trains, the Brighton Line BMT [...]

This classic Type 24M Twin stood at the southwest corner of West 23rd and 5th Avenue for several decades, but sometime in the early 2000s a truck plowed into it and that was that. The city installed a modern-design stoplight in its place. There are still two classic Twins at this intersection, an identical one [...]

This pair of color-coded blue on white Queens signs from ca. 1964 survived longer than most on the Brooklyn-Queens line in Highland Park, but have finally succumbed at last check. The pole now doesn’t have any street signs at all, which tells you that the Department of Transportation would rather have no signs at all [...]
