Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Genius of the Cosmopolitan City: An Address Delivered Before the New York Historical Society on Its Ninety-Ninth Anniversary The New York Historical Society has now laid the corner-stone of a structure which is to be, for many years to come, not only the repository of its valuable collections and the home of its activities, but the sign and symbol of the unbroken life of the metropolis. Beginning its career ninety-nine years ago, this Society was first housed in the old City Hall, in which the Congress of the United States held its sittings after the adoption of the Constitution, and on the balcony of which Washington was inaugurated first President of the Republic. The growth of the city during the century has been registered by the steady progression of the Society northward. Six times it has changed its quarters and each change has carried it farther from its original base. Now, for the eighth time, it finds a new home for itself and one far more commodious and beautiful than any in which it has heretofore been housed.
