Looking north on Fifth Avenue from 33rd Street, Manhattan, New York City, 1905 & Now. {Old picture from the Library of Congress, Detroit Publishing Company Collection)- Although he started the hotel, William Waldorf Astor did not remain in the United States. He moved to England and became a British subject, earning the title of 1st Viscount Astor in 1917, two years before his death at the age of 71. As for John Jacob Astor IV, he is probably best known today for having been the richest man aboard the Titanic when it sank in 1912. He had a net worth of around $87 million at the time (around $2 billion today), and he and his second wife Madeline had been returning from their honeymoon aboard the ship. Madeline and their unborn son survived the sinking, but Astor did not. Coincidentally, the hearings for the U.S. Senate inquiry into the disaster were subsequently held here at the hotel. Notice the extremely wide sidewalks in the first photo. Fifth Avenue was originally designed to have a 40-foot roadway with 30-foot sidewalks on either side, but this changed in 1908, shortly after the first photo was taken. To accommodate the growing automobile traffic on the street, it was widened to 55 feet, and the wide sidewalks were trimmed down. Despite over a century of change, though, there are a remarkable number of buildings that have survived from the first photo, especially on the left side. When the first photo was taken, this section of Fifth Avenue had just recently become a major commercial area, and as a result most of the buildings were new at the time. #ThenAndNowOVNY via ✨ @padgram ✨(http://dl.padgram.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoqBE-RFI8i/
#Fall in love with the #seasonal beauty of #Brooklyn! 🍃🍂🍁 Fall is officially here, and it happens to be one of our favorite times of year in Brooklyn. We love the crisp air, changing leaves, and the abundance of #apple varieties. The #PhotoOfTheWeek by Ralph Irving Lloyd is titled “Fall” and depicts the tree-lined sidewalk along the stone wall bordering #ProspectPark West around 1905. We previously highlighted another photograph by Lloyd titled “Summer.” Which photograph is your favorite? … . . The #photograph comes from the Ralph Irving Lloyd lantern slides comprised of (roughly) 400 black-and-white lantern slides, created by Lloyd, that depict 17th, 18th, and 19th century historic #houses, #homesteads, #churches, #storefronts, #cemeteries and sepulchral #monuments (#gravestones), and #schools in Brooklyn, #Queens, and #Manhattan; and 19th and early 20th century street scenes of Brooklyn.

Looking east across Delancey Street towards the Williamsburg Bridge, 1907. The Delancey family was once one of the city’s most powerful families. Stephen Delancey, a French Huguenot, came to the city in 1686 and became an incredibly successful merchant. In 1719, he built a stately brick home at the corner of Broad and Pearl Streets. In 1762, this became the Queen’s Head Tavern, which was later operated by Samuel Fraunces as #FrauncesTavern. The Delanceys owned a considerable amount of land to the north of the city, with a summer residence located near the #Bowery and Delancey Street. In the 1760s, the family laid out streets on the 300 acre farm, centered around a large square modeled on the private parks in #London (it was bound by Eldridge, Broome, Essex, and Hester Streets). Several of the streets were opened, but the square was not built, as plans for development were interrupted by the #AmericanRevolution. Most of the Delanceys were staunch Loyalists. James and Oliver Delancey equipped and lead a group of Torys, known as the Delancey Brigade, who primarily guarded Long Island and occasionally launched raids into New England. Following the war, the family fled the city, and their vast estate was confiscated and sold piece by piece. The eastern part of the farm bordering the river was soon covered in #docks and warehouses, but the western side became a fashionable residential district, attracting the well-to-do through the 1850s. After the #CivilWar, the grand mansions gave way to rows of #tenements. By the turn of the 20th Century, the #LowerEastSide was one of the most crowded areas in the world, with more than a half a million people per square mile. The Williamsburg Bridge opened in 1903, and #subway service began in 1904. The kiosks in the foreground provided access to the underground Essex Street #trolley terminal. Trolleys ran over the bridge until 1948, when they were replaced with bus service #NYC #DelanceyStreet #WilliamsburgBridge #traffic #commute #transit #history #NYChistory #DiscoveringNYC

The Viscount Saint-George?
Damn Bright Young Things and their selfies.
The first Sherlock Holmes game (Parker Brothers, 1904)
For three to eight players. The entire deck is dealt. Each player turns up the top card from their stack at the same time. If a player sees that another has turned up a card matching their own they “capture” that card. A “Sherlock Holmes” card allows the player to take all “captured” cards of any one player. When a player has run out of cards in their stack three times, the number of captured cards that say “Thief,” “Robber” and “Burglar” are counted. The player with the most cards wins.
