the beaver pelt trade

Astor Place station was built under what had been private property along the west side of Astor Place, which was planned to be a transfer point for the 9th Street branch of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad (today's PATH). It lies below the former Wannamakers, currently K Mart. The station's decoration includes plaques depicting beavers, in honor of John Jacob Astor, who had made his fortune in the beaver pelt trade.

from 1898

Doorway of the former Germania Bank at 190 Bowery, built in 1898. Since 1966, it’s been home to photographer Jay Maisel. A final outpost of grandeur on the Bowery.

She's wacko! Take her to Bellevue

The funny farm. The psych ward. The nut house. This is the original joint. Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital featured in tons of Manhattan based film noirs of the 40s and 50s, just the place to drop off Joan Crawford or Susan (I Want to Live!) Hayward when their blood pressure went berserk. Independent dames were immediate candidates for a section 8, and Bellevue was just the place to make em wake up and smell the coffee. And it retains it spooky air...shock treatments, experimental drugs, strait jackets..oh the humanity!!
